Chapter 35 Standoff in Ruizhou
As light and darkness intertwine in Ruizhou, a massive battle is about to erupt.
Huang Chao, a peasant uprising leader with exceptional skills, led hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers in an uprising in Ruizhou against the imperial army of 150,000.
At this time, Huang Chao's Yellow Turban Army was like a giant dragon, winding through the vast fields.
They were dressed in tattered clothes and carried simple weapons, but their eyes burned with unwavering faith and boundless courage.
Their steps were heavy, but each step was full of power, as if they wanted to trample the whole world under their feet.
At this time, the Yellow Turban army was in high spirits. Led by Huang Chao, they shouted loudly and charged at the imperial army.
On the other side, the 150,000-strong army of the Great Qian Dynasty was like a huge beast. Clad in iron armor and wielding sharp swords, they charged menacingly towards the Yellow Turban Army, their eyes filled with majesty and pride, as if they were born rulers and the Yellow Turban Army were merely ants under their feet.
Tan Mengjun, one of the three great generals who quelled the rebellion in the Great Qian Dynasty, was no pushover. His 150,000-strong army, in a tight formation, began to resist the Yellow Turban Army's offensive.
The Daqian army was well-organized, well-equipped, and in high spirits.
Although outnumbered by the Yellow Turbans, the imperial army had an advantage in equipment and training. If they could hold off the Yellow Turbans at the beginning, they would have a high probability of winning the battle.
Their footsteps shook the heavens and earth, as if they were about to make the entire earth tremble, and their shouts were like a storm, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
With the sounding of the bugle, the battle officially began.
Led by Huang Chao, the Yellow Turban Army launched a fierce attack.
Their attacks were like a storm, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Despite facing the overwhelming firepower of the imperial army, they did not back down but pressed forward.
The Daqian Dynasty's army began to falter under the sudden and fierce attack of the Yellow Turban Army.
Their formation began to crumble, and their morale began to decline.
However, their confusion did not last long, and under Tan Mengjun's guidance, they continued to fight.
As the battle intensified, the two sides entered a chaotic melee.
The Yellow Turban Army and the imperial army clashed on the battlefield, engaging in fierce hand-to-hand combat with swords, spears, bows and arrows, and fists, fighting to the death.
Their blood mingled, staining the entire battlefield red.
At this stage, the tactics and strategies of both sides played a crucial role.
Tan Mengjun commanded the Daqian army, constantly adjusting their formation and attack direction in an attempt to break through the Yellow Turban army's fierce offensive.
Although Tan Mengjun is slightly better in terms of military leadership and also possesses god-like martial prowess.
However, Huang Chao was full of clever schemes, and he also had a warrior, the Lion Camel, by his side.
Although Tan Mengjun was no pushover and always managed to see through Huang Chao's schemes, defeating Huang Chao was not so easy.
Therefore, the two sides fought more than ten times in Ruizhou, with casualties on both sides, and it was difficult to determine who was superior.
Although Huang Chao was full of clever schemes, Tan Mengjun was also a seasoned military strategist who could always see through Huang Chao's plans.
However, the foundation laid by the Great Qian Dynasty for over five hundred years was something the Yellow Turbans could not match.
These three leading armies were hastily assembled by the Great Qian Dynasty to temporarily hold back the Yellow Turban Rebellion from its rampage.
Now, the Yellow Turban Army is tied up in three prefectures by the three armies dispatched by the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Great Qian Dynasty reacted quickly, demonstrating the basic qualities expected of a five-hundred-year-old dynasty.
The massive war machine of the Great Qian Dynasty began to operate at full speed, drawing elite troops from all over the country and assigning them renowned generals and fierce commanders.
They began to arrive in droves to the battlefields of the three states to support the three armies.
Under these circumstances, the Yellow Turbans began to struggle to cope with the continuous influx of resources from the Great Qian Dynasty.
It's not a lack of battlefield capabilities, but rather a lack of talent reserves.
Although the Yellow Turbans already had Meng Zhang as their basic commander and a holy lineage of 104.
However strong he was, he could only hold onto Luzhou on the main battlefield as famous generals of the Great Qian Dynasty continued to arrive, and he could not take care of the other two provinces.
Meanwhile, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were located in Ruizhou and Wuzhou on the two flanks.
At first, Huang Chao and Meng Huwang were able to fight the Daqian Dynasty to a standstill.
However, with the arrival of support from the Great Qian Dynasty, the two of them were somewhat overwhelmed.
It's not that the two of them are inferior to the opposing team, but rather that their teammates can't keep up.
This period was often when Huang Chao and Meng Huwang were at the forefront, fighting fiercely against others.
Their rear or flanks would be breached by renowned generals from the Daqian side leading their troops.
In this situation, no matter how skilled they were, they could only hold their noses and be chased by the Daqian army, fighting and retreating as their chrysanthemums were ripped out.
...
Meanwhile, Cangzhou on the other side was not exactly peaceful either.
After the alien tribe led by Ji Shunfu broke away from the army led by Chang Ke, they were immediately followed by Li Jing, who was temporarily in charge of the Cangzhou military, along with Baihu and Tian Zaibiao.
However, this foreign army led by Ji Shunfu was not destroyed by Li Jing, whose basic commander rank was 103.
Instead, he was chased by Li Jing and forced to flee throughout Cangzhou.
This led to Li Jing "accidentally" eliminating many previously disobedient forces during the pursuit.
Now those local forces in Cangzhou are really in for a world of trouble.
It was neither destroyed by the Xiongnu army that marched south to block the pass, nor killed by the foreign army that ravaged Cangzhou.
Instead, it was Li Jing's army, who were on their own side, that raised their swords against them.
Meanwhile, Su Ye, who had just arrived in Cangling County, the capital of Cangzhou, also received a notification from the system.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest - Defend against the Xiongnu in the north: Repel or defeat the Xiongnu tribes' armies that are heading south to attack the pass."
Rewards: 300 Summoning Points, one Movie & TV Combination Eight-Summoning Card, one Unlimited Random Summoning Card, and one War God Summoning Card.
Note: The "Eight Combinations of Film and Television Cards" are eight combinations provided by the system from the film and television world. The host selects one combination, and the system then randomly assigns another combination to the host. The remaining combinations will be randomly assigned to all factions, including the host.
With the retreat of the Xiongnu army, Su Ye's mission to defend against the Xiongnu in the north was almost complete.
As for the alien army led by Ji Shunfu?
To be honest, if Su Ye hadn't needed to stay with them so that Li Jing could have taken the opportunity to carry out a major purge of Cangzhou...
Otherwise, relying on Li Jing's knowledge of the alien artifacts and the Heavenly General Baihu, the ultimate deity, one could easily defeat them.
The grass on Ji Shunfu's grave is already three feet tall.
Now, the entire situation of the alien army led by Ji Shunfu is under the surveillance of Luo Wang, and even their next march route has been arranged by Luo Wang along the way.
A truly skilled mastermind doesn't just use their own power; they turn their enemy's power into their own.
However, after seeing the system's description of the reward, the Eight Summoning Cards of the Film and Television Combination.
Su Ye raised an eyebrow. This is a good thing!
I can choose a combination in advance, which means that the most excellent combination among the eight combinations given by the system will definitely be mine.
In addition, the system will randomly assign you a combination.
Then the remaining six groups will share the spoils with the other factions.
All in all, I've made an incredible amount of money.
