Chapter 78 Raid on Grain
In the soft light of dawn, Meng Zhang sat upright in the woods above the valley, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.
He was clad in armor, with a long sword at his waist, and behind him stood a group of imposing, well-dressed men in yellow turbans. They stood solemnly, blending into the surrounding woods.
"Teacher, everyone's keeping up! No one's fallen behind!"
Dressed in purple armor and wielding the Doomsday Twin Blades, Qiao Shefei emerged from the woods behind him and reported to Meng Zhang.
Qiao Shefei and the Ziming team behind him were implanted with the identity of Yellow Turban Army soldiers discovered by Meng Zhang from among the Yellow Turbans.
Therefore, not long after Meng Zhang accepted Qiao Shefei's money, Qiao Shefei naturally became Meng Zhang's apprentice.
He followed Meng Zhang closely, learning both military strategy and combat skills, hoping to break through to the level of a war god as soon as possible.
"Um."
Meng Zhang gazed into the valley, where a force led by a general of the Great Qian army was gathering, preparing to go out on patrol.
The enemies in the valley seemed to have noticed Meng Zhang's gaze. They looked up at the valley above, but only saw dense forests and did not find Meng Zhang and his group.
Meng Zhang silently observed the enemy army of Daqian in the valley, and had already devised a countermeasure in his mind.
War is not only a contest of strength, but also a battle of wits and strategies.
At this moment, what Meng Zhang needs to do is to remain calm and wait for the right moment to act, so as to achieve the greatest victory with the least cost.
The enemy troops in the valley began to move, surging towards the valley's exit like a tide.
Meng Zhang's lips curled slightly. In the valley, Meng Zhang had prepared a greeting gift for them.
The Yellow Turban army could use the terrain and ambushes at the entrance of the valley to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
"put!"
Just as the enemy was about to enter the valley exit, a loud shout came from the valley entrance.
Then, a booming sound came from the woods above the valley entrance.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the Daqian army, a deafening roar ripped through the sky, followed by a torrent of boulders tumbling down from the forest and hurtling towards the Daqian forces.
The Daqian soldiers screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.
But the road was narrow, and there were steep cliffs on both sides, leaving nowhere to hide.
The rolling stones tumbled and crashed down on the soldiers and horses in the column, and cries of agony rose and fell.
Dust filled the air, obscuring the view.
Some soldiers were smashed to pieces and lost consciousness on the spot.
Some soldiers also fell while fleeing and were trampled by the crowd behind them.
The entire Daqian army was plunged into chaos and panic.
The general leading the group rode his warhorse and loudly directed his soldiers to find a place to take cover.
However, many places are steep cliffs with nowhere to hide.
Some soldiers risked climbing up the mountainside by the road, but the terrain was rugged and difficult to stand on.
In this critical moment, the leading officer of the Great Qian Dynasty brandished his longsword and shouted, "Don't panic! Maintain formation!"
At the same time, he quickly directed his personal guards to organize the soldiers to build temporary defensive fortifications with shields and weapons.
Then a mysterious army suddenly rushed out of the woods and attacked the Daqian army from the rear.
Chaos erupted among the enemy forces of Daqian, who had not expected that there would be an ambush in the valley.
"charge!"
Meng Zhang brandished his sword and shouted.
"Follow me and kill!"
With the order given, the army above the valley charged towards the enemy like tigers descending the mountain.
Wielding the Doomsday Twin Blades and clad in purple armor, Qiao Shefei led the charge, followed by his ferocious Yellow Turban warriors, as they charged towards the Daqian army below.
"Ding! Qiao Shefei's skill Purple Nether has been activated!"
Purple Nether: This is an exclusive skill of the Gray Nether Squad of the Netherworld Legion. The effect varies depending on who activates it. Qiao Shefei has the highest effect for this skill.
Effect 1: Upon activation, attack power increases by 3; thereafter, attack power increases by 1 for every ten rounds fought, and can be activated four times.
Effect 2: When fighting alongside the entire Purple Nether Squad, attack power is increased by an additional 3.
Effect 3: When on the same battlefield as someone with the skills Gray Nether or Crimson Nether, all four of your attributes will temporarily increase by 1.
Effect 4: Can be combined with the Gray Nether and Crimson Nether skill owners to form the combo skill - Netherworld!
Currently, Qiao Shefei's base attack power is 105, her weapon is the Doomsday Twin Blades (+1), and her Purple Netherworld effect 1 is +3. Fighting alongside the entire Purple Netherworld Squad grants effect 2 +3, bringing her current attack power to 112!
In an instant, the valley was filled with the sounds of battle, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The thunderous sound of war drums echoed through the valleys, and billowing smoke obscured half the sky.
Behind them, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers surged forward like a tidal wave, their iron hooves shaking the heavens, their momentum like a rainbow.
Faced with such a magnificent scene, even the most determined enemy soldiers' morale crumbled instantly.
At the same time, an elite cavalry force, under Meng Zhang's skillful command, appeared behind the enemy lines like divine soldiers descending from the heavens.
They moved with lightning speed, tearing apart the Daqian army's defenses in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, cries of alarm and screams rose and fell, plunging the enemy army of Daqian into chaos.
High in the woods, Meng Zhang observed the scene with a cold eye, having already planned every move he would make next.
Under his command, the Yellow Turban army attacked from all directions, completely surrounding the enemy forces of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Then, he personally led the remaining Yellow Turban army behind him, and quietly descended the mountain from the other side.
The surprise attack force led by Meng Zhang consisted mostly of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers, except for the Yellow Turban Warriors, the strongest unit of the Yellow Turbans. Each of them was an elite soldier on the battlefield.
They traversed the smoke-filled battlefield, skillfully avoiding enemy patrols, and silently approached the enemy's rear.
This was a huge camp, piled high with food and military supplies.
At this moment, most of the defending troops were fighting against Qiao Shefei's forces on the battlefield in the valley, and there were almost no soldiers guarding the rear.
Looking at the countless granaries standing deep in the valley, as well as all kinds of logistical and military equipment.
Meng Zhang waved his hands and decisively ordered, "Burn!"
Rockets were launched from the soldiers' hands and landed accurately on the granary.
The torch fell on the dry straw and instantly burst into flames.
Explosions echoed from inside the granary, and flames shot into the sky, illuminating the entire night.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, leaping and spreading wildly across the granary.
The terrified enemy soldiers retreated from the battlefield to fight the fire, but the fire had already spread like wildfire and could not be contained.
At the same time, Meng Zhang led a surprise attack force that launched a fierce attack on the rear of the Daqian enemy forces in the valley.
Using the terrain and firelight as cover, they engaged in fierce fighting with the panicked enemy.
The enemy forces retreated in disarray, while the Yellow Turban army, led by the Yellow Turban Warriors, fought with increasing ferocity.
They annihilated most of the enemy's rear granary garrison at minimal cost, destroying the enemy's logistical supply lines.
With the fall of the granary and the annihilation of the rear guard, the Daqian enemy forces on the battlefield in the valley also began to panic.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qiao Shefei's troops launched a full-scale attack, and the enemy army was routed under the attack from both sides.
Tens of thousands of troops swept towards the granary position of Daqian like a raging torrent.
At this point, the enemy troops had lost their will to fight and surrendered or scattered one after another.
