Chapter 558: Taking Down Two Generals
September 25, 2017
Zhang Liang had unleashed his ultimate move and relentlessly battered his opponent for half an hour. It was only natural that he would try to escape when his strength began to wane, but he was pursued and taunted.
The sole reason for Zhang Liang's diminishing strength and his eventual defeat at the hands of Lu Bu and his allies was Lu Haikong's success.
In reality, as soon as Lu Haikong took action, the fate of Zhang Niujiao and his men was sealed.
Despite Zhang Niujiao's considerable talent and innate leadership abilities, they were of no use against Lu Haikong.
Faced with Lu Haikong's army of fifty thousand, Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan's unique warrior traits were not only ineffective but also helped Lu Haikong quickly pinpoint their location.
Once Lu Haikong set his sights on someone in the vast army, there was no escaping his grasp, especially with five elite generals leading the charge.
Lu Haikong, accompanied by his Bloodbath Legion, zeroed in on Zhang Niujiao's position and charged forward. Within twenty minutes, Zhang Niujiao and his two companions appeared before Lu Haikong.

It was not surprising for Lu Haikong to encounter three historical warriors among a fifty-thousand-strong Yellow Turban army, as he had witnessed their disappearance and reappearance through his props.
However, Lu Haikong was taken aback by the impressive attributes of Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan.
One of them had a strength stat approaching ninety, while the other had both strength and command stats surpassing eighty, making them exceptionally rare talents. Lu Haikong was determined to keep these two individuals by his side, disregarding the third one, Deng Mao.
When Lu Haikong spotted Zhang Niujiao and his companions, their faces paled.
Even though they were all formidable warriors, none dared to confront Lu Haikong directly.
Zhang Niujiao and his men commanded a fifty-thousand-strong army, and they played a crucial role in blocking Huangfu Song's path. At this moment, letting them go was a difficult decision, and their hesitation proved fatal.
"Take them down!" Lu Haikong ordered.
Riding his Luzi, Lu Haikong charged ahead alone, targeting Deng Mao.
Deng Mao's face twitched as he saw Lu Haikong approaching. He reached into his bosom.
Lu Haikong, in full sprint, observed Deng Mao's actions clearly. Although unsure of his intentions, Lu Haikong instinctively drew his Purple Star Moonshot Bow and fired from a distance.
Lu Haikong's arrow struck like lightning, and a purple-glowing arrow pinned Deng Mao's hand to the ground.
Almost simultaneously, Dian Wei threw his iron halberd with supersonic speed, knocking Zhang Niujiao off his horse, mimicking Dong Zhuo's action.
In the 619th chapter of the novel, the same scene unfolds!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yan, unable to retaliate from a distance due to Wen Chou and Gao Lan's lack of long-range skills, produced a yellow fusion talisman and vanished on the spot.
A single glance at a martial art, and three historical warriors with a strength value of over 80, considered among the very best within the Yellow Turban forces. One of them, struck by Lu Hai Kong's arrow in his right arm, was then taken down by a single axe strike. Another was knocked off his horse by Dian Wei's halberd, falling into a state of unconsciousness, his fate uncertain.
As for the remaining one, if not for the secret talisman hidden in his luggage, he would likely have met the same fate as the previous two.
In Lu Hai Kong's battle, with Zhang Niujiao captured in a state of unconsciousness and Deng Mao slain, the army that had been trembling under the ferocious might of Lu Hai Kong's Bloodstained Legion suddenly collapsed.
On Huangfu Song's side, they had initially gained a slight opportunity due to the chaos caused by Zhang Niujiao's legion.
However, Bo Cai's forces immediately intensified their attacks, and under their relentless and costly onslaught, the casualties were heavy!
The five million Han soldiers, transformed into Yellow Turban Warriors, were still manageable. After Huangfu Song activated the Righteous Charge, the morale and strength of the Han army greatly increased, making them unafraid.
But the ferocious assaults from the remaining three Yellow Turban legions were overwhelming for Huangfu Song. The fifteen million-strong army was already formidable, not to mention the presence of commanders like Bu Yi and He Man, who were on par with Zhang Niujiao, and nine historical warriors in the Han army that few could match.
The encirclement and suppression by these three legions were brutal, and under their full-force attack, Huangfu Song's army faced immense pressure.
However, this pressure was manageable. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were renowned generals, capable of holding their ground, and even counterattacking. But to their dismay, the Yellow Turban Army had another group of Yellow Turban Warriors, a true force of Yellow Turban Warriors.
These five thousand Yellow Turban Warriors, each standing over three meters tall, were like human bulldozers, impervious to blades and spears. Huangfu Song was helpless against them.
If not for their slow movements, the Han army might have crumbled earlier.
Despite the slow movement of the Yellow Turban Warriors, under Bo Cai's multi-pronged assault, the Han army was on the brink of collapse. Just as they were about to give way, Huangfu Song suddenly noticed the army behind him, led by Zhang Niujiao, in complete disarray.
Upon this realization, Huangfu Song was overjoyed. At this moment, he didn't care about the reason for the chaos and directly led his army towards Zhang Niujiao's legion.
As Huangfu Song's army approached, Lu Hai Kong emerged with his Bloodstained Legion, clashing head-on with the Han army.
Interestingly, Huangfu Song was at the very back of his legion when Lu Hai Kong's forces broke through Zhang Niujiao's legion, and he happened to see Lu Hai Kong.
When he saw Lu Hai Kong and his Bloodstained Legion, Huangfu Song was stunned.
"It's Lu Hai Kong! It's Lu Hai Kong's Bloodstained Legion! I knew only his legion could possess such formidable strength!" exclaimed Xiahou Yuan, standing beside Huangfu Song.
At this moment, it wasn't just Xiahou Yuan who cheered; the entire Han army, regardless of their previous impressions of Lu Hai Kong, joined in the celebration.
But when they witnessed a legion of less than two thousand, covered in blood and exuding a domineering aura, crushing the enemy that had been blocking their escape route, everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts!
Amidst the Han soldiers' cheers, Lu Hai Kong and Huangfu Song exchanged a glance from a distance.
This glance lasted only a few seconds, and from a hundred meters away, Huangfu Song couldn't discern Lu Hai Kong's expression. But he saw that after their brief eye contact, Lu Hai Kong turned and headed towards another Yellow Turban legion.
Throughout, not a single word was spoken, nor was there any exchange of expressions, yet Huangfu Song's face revealed a complex mix of emotions.
