Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119: 119. Fight Againts Qing Yellow Turbans

The Yellow Turbans and Lie Fan's Army prepared themselves, and under the order of Lie Fan and Huang Shao respectively, the respective infantries battalion of both armies began to face off. Lie Fan's infantries march under a neat formation and high discipline, while the Yellow Turbans just run wildly to attack Lie Fan's infantries.

Chao Bai alongside Guan Hai led 25,000 infantries to the Yellow Turbans infantries, The Yellow Turbans soldiers who were incorporated from Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong were stationed at the front before the prisoner's army. Their formation is a bit loosened than Lie Fan's trained infantries but they will do the job as a meat shield.

Before the clash between the infantries happened, Huang Zhong led 15,000 archers to shoot their arrows. Their target is the Yellow Turbans who will clash with their infantries, 15,000 arrows rained down on the Yellow Turban.

Huang Shao is an experienced military commander, he saw that the enemies were shooting their arrows and told his soldiers to raise their shields. Unfortunately, the Yellow Turbans formation is scattered, and the order isn't received by all Yellow Turbans.

The Yellow Turbans who didn't receive the orders, were shot down by the arrows raining upon them. Huang Shao instantly ordered the archers he had to shoot the opposite Infantries, The Yellow Turbans archers were only 5,000 out of the 50,000 men under Huang Shao's command.

Their arrows do massive damage to the meat shield that was prepared by Lie Fan, while Lie Fan's main infantries all raise their shield while they keep advancing. The clash was inevitable, Zhang Rao the other Yellow Turbans leader hastened their attack on Duchang where Kong Rong's army put up a heavy fight against him.

Chao Bai and Guan Hai tear apart the Yellow Turban soldiers, while the infantries follow behind them. The Yellow Turbans who saw Guan Hai and former Yellow Turbans who joined Lie Fan's side were confused, due to their distraction they received massive casualties.

Huang Shao who was commanding the Yellow Turbans from the center, received a report from a Yellow Turban soldier beside him that there were Yellow Turbans who had sided with the enemy. Huang Shao was shocked if there were Yellow Turbans who joined the enemy his soldiers had high chances of doing the same.

While the infantries are fighting, Huang Zhong is given command by Lie Fan to handle this theater. Lie Fan brings the Cavalry Battalion and Guard Battalion to attack the Yellow Turbans who were besieging Duchang.

Lie Fan now guarded by 8 bodyguards, leads the Guard Battalion from the front alongside Dian Wei They attack the left flank while Zang Ba attacks the right flank. Lie Fan is using the old tactic he used when he fought against the Yellow Turbans before.

Zhang Rao's command tent was in panic, enemy cavalry attacking them in a vulnerable position where siege ladders were put alongside the walls and their makeshift battering ram was a vulnerable target.

Zhang Rao: "Bastards! Ling Yu and Gu Yao, lead the brothers at the right and left flank to stop the cavalries! That incompetent Huang Shao can't even hold off the Imperial Armies!"

Ling Yu: "Brother, I received a report that the leader of this army is Lie Fan the one who killed our Big Brother Zhang Jiao! Can our army truly defeat him?! He and the other Imperial Generals managed to defeat 2 million of our brothers before!"

Gu Yao: "What Ling Yu is saying true Brother! Why don't we pull back and recover our strength?!"

Zhang Rao: "Bastards! Our only choice now is to take control of Duchang and take Long Rong as our hostage! Do you really think if we retreat, these Imperial Dogs will just let us go?! Now go and do my order!"

Ling Yu and Gu Yao immediately leave the command tent, and Zhang Rao now is looking at the map in front of him. He was arrogant before seeing the pieces of Yellow Turban besieging Duchang, but now many of those pieces are put in another location to hold off the main army of the Imperials Reinforcement.

Ling Yu and Gu Yao both led the right and left flanks, They managed to halt the onslaught caused by Zang Ba's battalion and Lie Fan's Battalion. Cavalries without mobility are just sitting ducks, Yellow Turban soldiers began to swarm the cavalries under the leadership of Ling Yu and Gu Yao.

Zang Ba and his 15,000 cavalries struggle against the swarm, and only Zang Ba is the powerhouse in his battalion while on Lie Fan's side, there's Dian Wei and his bodyguards so his side fighting points are lower. Lie Fan sees the precarious situation, he doesn't want to lose many cavalries as they are the hardest to train.

Lie Fan and Dian Wei led the Guard Battalion through the front, Using the crazy strength both of them have they managed to break through the swarm tactics, and the Guard Battalion who saw the gap made by Lie Fan and Dian Wei pushed through that gap.

Gu Yao was in awe seeing that Lie Fan and Dian Wei both used brute strength to punch through the swarm tactic he deployed, He could feel his legs shaking as he knew that those two weren't his opponent not even close. The weird masked soldiers guard Lie Fan tightly, he even feels intimidated by them.

Gu Yao ordered the Yellow Turbans to hold their position and keep Lie Fan in place, Gu Yao is just like a Soviet general in World War 2 sending its troops to charge to their death. The Yellow Turbans under Zhang Rao and Huang Shao are formed through bandits, thugs, and deserters, and the rest are farmers who still believe in the cause.

The Yellow Turbans who have criminal backgrounds like bandits and thugs began to drop their weapons and run away, who dared to face Lie Fan and Diam Wei who is like a meat grinder right now. Gu Yao killed the people who tried to run away, at least their bodies could become obstacles to the horses that's what he thought.

Lie Fan and Dian Wei slowly gain more and more momentum, Thanks to many Yellow Turbans not daring to cross paths with the two of them the Guard Battalion finally manages to push through and gain momentum to help Zang Ba and his battalion albeit with some casualties.

Gu Yao who saw this cursed under his breath, and led the Yellow Turbans on the left flank to chase Lie Fan and his battalion. Zang Ba and his cavalries began to suffer some losses, While they were trained and experienced their armor was not as hard as infantries. Facing a large number of enemies and without mobility, some of the men were stabbed here and there.

Zang Ba's heart was in pain seeing one by one some of his men fall, they were battle-hardened veteran who was very valuable. Zang Ba knows that if he doesn't manage to find a gap or make one, they will be picked one by one by the Yellow Turbans. Ling Yu who saw that his tactic worked was ecstatic, he personally went up to the front and joined the melee.

Ling Yu is more arrogant and hot-headed than Gu Yao, he is the commander but lets his emotions cloud his judgment. Ling Yu and Zang Ba come face to face, Zang Ba sees that this man is different from the rest and is protected. Thinking that he finally found a gap he began to advance toward Ling Yu's location.

Following Zang Ba, the cavalries began to advance slowly while slashing Yellow Turbans left and right receiving counterattacks from them also. Ling Yu saw that the cavalries were heading toward his location, filled with reckless courage after killing a singled-out cavalry he led his men to attack the cavalries.

Zang Ba and Ling Yu enter a duel, When they clash against each other Lie Fan and Dian Wei with the Guard Battalion finally arrive at their location. Seeing Zang Ba is dueling against a weaker opponent, Lie Fan lets that happen while he and Dian Wei separate the Guard Battalion and using momentum clean up the Yellow Turbans surrounding the cavalry battalion.

Lie Fan's arrival helped lessen the burden of the Cavalry Battalion, The cavalry battalion followed Dian Wei and Lie Fan to search for momentum, and at that moment Zang Ba managed to slash Ling Yu killing him. The Yellow Turbans at the right flank losing its leader began to grow chaotic among its rank.

Gu Yao who saw the left flank suddenly on the verge of collapse felt something wrong, he hastened his speed, and before he arrived Lie Fan led the Cavalry Battalion and Guad Battalion to escape the encirclement. They were heading toward his location and before Gu Yao could put up a fight, Dian Wei using his twin halberd beheaded Gu Yao.

Kong Rong saw that the Yellow Turbans who were besieging them were in chaos, He allowed the 20,000 soldiers under his command to open the gate and help Lie Fan's armies. While the situation on the battlefield is very chaotic, from their north 5,000 infantries are marching toward the battlefield.

It was Liu Bei and his sworn brothers, They marched day and night to help Kong Rong but when they arrived they were welcomed by the sight of the Yellow Turbans slowly losing their ground.

Liu Bei: " Second Brother, Third Brother come let's hurry! Looks like Governor Lie Fan's army has arrived, come Even if our number is small we still need to help Governor Lie Fan!"

Zhang Fei: "Bug Brother looks like we are too late, If we come sooner maybe we will receive bigger merit!"

Liu Bei: "Shush! How could our 5,000 men defeat 100,000 Yellow Turbans?! Governor Lie Fan and Chancellor Kong Rong are loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty which we should help!"

Zhang Fei was silent after being reprimanded by Liu Bei, Guan Yu can only shake his head at the impulsive and hit-headed Zhang Fei which suits his position as the youngest. Huang Zhong who was leasing the archer's battalion saw an army marching toward the Yellow Turbans.

When they grew closer he knew that they were allies, the banner of Han was hoisted alongside a Liu banner. They joined up with Chang Bai infantry battalion and together cleaned the infantries under Huang Shao. Huang Shao saw that he would lose, so he led his remaining men retreating to the command tent.

The Yellow Turban who was abandoned by Huang Shal to fight to the death began to surrender one by one, they knew they were losing the battle and better to live than die. Chao Bai meets up with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei whom he asked to follow him to attack the Yellow Turbans who were besieging Duchang right now.

Huang Zhong and his archer battalion alongside the logistic battalion under Chao Bo and Ze Rong round up the prisoners, At the other theater Lie Fan and Zang Ba respectively lead their battalion breaking through from the left flank and getting out from the sea of Yellow Turbans.

They put some distance from the battlefield, Seeing that Chao Bai was advancing toward the Yellow Turbans, Lie Fan knew that the end of the battle was near. Lie Fan told Zang Ba that when the infantries class with the remaining Yellow Turbans, they will attack their command tent to capture their leaders.
