Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 87 I have generals Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who can defeat thousands of troops!
Ren County is the northernmost county in Taishan County, bordering Qingzhou.

The Taishan Yellow Turbans were not actually a native product of Taishan County, but originated from the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, led by their leader Guan Hai, launched the Second Yellow Turban Rebellion. Their power expanded rapidly, and in a very short period of time, they had hundreds of thousands of people.

Later, in order to ease the pressure of survival, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou split up. Xu He led one of the troops to attack Ren County in Taishan Commandery. This was the original Yellow Turbans in Taishan.

As the first place in Taishan County to be occupied by the Yellow Turbans, Ren County has become a desolate wasteland where all living things have been completely slaughtered in everyone's legends.

However, as Ji Qiu walked along, he found that the situation in this place was actually quite good.

At least it is much better than Zhending County in Changshan County, which was ravaged by the Black Mountain Army.

"Senior Brother Xu He is my father's direct disciple and a true Yellow Turban follower. He is completely different from that deceitful fellow Zhang Yan.

He wouldn't force the people at the bottom of society unless they were completely unable to survive," Zhang Ning explained.

"A loyal follower of the Yellow Turbans?" Ji Qiu recalled the historical records about Xu He and nodded secretly.

Xu He was an important figure in the Yellow Turban Army during the first Yellow Turban Rebellion led by Zhang Jue, and was the second most influential leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou after Guan Hai.

After the first Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, he and Guan Hai led the second Yellow Turban Rebellion.

After Guan Hai's death, he took over the Yellow Turban forces in Qingzhou and became the leader of the Yellow Turbans.

In the third year of Chuping, most of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou was incorporated by Cao Cao, but Xu He refused to surrender and continued to lead his troops to fight in Jinan, Le'an and other places, attacking cities and killing officials.

Later, Cao Cao sent General Xiahou Yuan to lead troops from Taishan, Qi and Pingyuan counties to encircle and suppress Xu He's troops.

After many fierce battles, Xiahou Yuan finally defeated Xu He's troops. Xu He was eventually killed in the battlefield, and his troops were also pacified by Cao's army.

Judging from Xu He's behavior, he was indeed a diehard member of the Yellow Turban Sect. He would rather die than give up his Yellow Turban identity and surrender to Cao Cao.

Since he was a staunch believer of the Yellow Turbans, it was understandable that he treated the people well.

After all, the Yellow Turbans' ideology originated from the Taiping Dao.

It is an idea of ​​caring for the common people and opposing the unlimited annexation of land by the wealthy and powerful families.

Zhang Jue used this idea to consolidate the core of his faith, so his loyal believers still had a bottom line in their actions.

The rumors spread by the aristocratic families cannot be taken as facts.

Firstly, the aristocratic families were enemies of the Yellow Turbans, so it was natural for them to be stigmatized.

Secondly, the aristocratic families have never regarded the common people at the bottom as human beings. In their eyes, the only people are the aristocratic families like themselves.

The Yellow Turbans massacred these aristocratic families, naturally turning the place into a desolate place for all living things.

Third, there are a large number of speculators in the Yellow Turban camp, such as Zhang Yan.

The actions of these speculators will often be blamed on the Yellow Turbans in the end.

In fact, if the Yellow Turban Religion was really as evil as the aristocratic families claimed, then how did it flourish in the first place?
The reason why a sect can grow and develop is that its ideas and actions respond to a certain call from the hearts of the masses!

However, the Yellow Turbans' ideology was ultimately limited by the times and they failed to see the essence of class struggle.

Coupled with the constraints of productivity, this ultimately led to their failure!

Ji Qiu continued to lead his troops forward, and around noon, he arrived at the county seat of Ren County.

The county seat of Ren County has now become a large military camp.

Xu He's 100,000 Yellow Turban troops and 200,000 Yellow Turban civilians were all here.

When Ji Qiu arrived at Ren County, 100,000 Yellow Turban troops had already left the city and were waiting in formation.

This is normal. Ren County is the territory of the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai, and Ji Qiu came here in broad daylight. It is impossible for him not to be discovered by the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai.

When there are more than 10,000 people, it seems boundless; when there are more than 100,000 people, it seems as if the ground is connected to the sky!

The army formation composed of 100,000 Yellow Turbans was naturally majestic and extremely oppressive.

Compared with this huge army, the two thousand guards and two thousand cavalry battalions brought by Ji Qiu were like an ant standing in front of an elephant, insignificant.

Dao Jiqiu showed no fear on his face.

If war were simply a competition of numbers, there wouldn't be so many classic examples of the outnumbered defeating the larger force in history!
Although the Yellow Turban army was large in number, they lacked training, their soldiers were weak, and their weapons were scarce. Compared with the two battalions of his personal cavalry, they were no match for him.

What is he afraid of?
In fact, he had long known that his whereabouts had been discovered by the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai.

Even the entire process of the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai leaving the city and forming a battle line was completed under his nose.

But he did not order his troops to speed up their march to disrupt the Yellow Turbans' formation at Mount Tai.

He did not even lead his troops to bypass the rear to avoid the Yellow Turban army in Mount Tai.

He deliberately gave the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai enough time to form their battle array, and then, without any argument, he completely and thoroughly defeated and subdued the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai!

In fact, with his current configuration, he could easily persuade the Yellow Turbans in Mount Tai to surrender.

He simply revealed his identity as the second-generation leader of the Yellow Turbans and asked Zhang Ning to persuade Xu He to surrender.

Or just like Cao Cao in history, he bribed the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai with money and food, forcing them to surrender.

Both are very feasible paths.

But the Yellow Turban Army obtained in this way will leave many hidden dangers.

Historically, the Qingzhou Army caused countless troubles to Cao Cao. Not only did they have extremely poor military discipline, but they also frequently mutinied.

Fortunately, their lord was Cao Cao, otherwise someone else would have been killed by them long ago!

Ji Qiu would not leave any hidden dangers for himself, so he wanted to subdue the Yellow Turbans in Mount Tai with the upright kingly way.

"The Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai have already formed their battle array. Who is willing to go to the front and fight?" Ji Qiu asked his left and right.

Fighting between generals in front of the battlefield is a classic scene in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The winner can greatly boost the morale of his own side, while the loser will see his own morale plummet.

How many famous generals became famous by fighting on the battlefield!

However, in real history, the practice of fighting generals in front of the battlefield was eliminated as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

After all, in a historical world without supernatural powers, the fate of two armies, or two countries, cannot be entrusted to the bravery of an individual.

What the famous generals really competed with each other was their ability to deploy troops and devise various conspiracies and intrigues.

However, in Longqi Three Kingdoms, fighting in front of the battle formation is still a very popular way of fighting.

Because the powerful generals of Longqi Three Kingdoms really have the ability to decide the outcome of a war by their own strength.

Just like when Ji Qiu was outside Zhaojia Village in Zhending County, he was able to kill thousands of Black Mountain soldiers by himself.

In this case, deciding the outcome by having powerful generals fight in front of the battlefield is a way to preserve the lower-level soldiers.

After all, grassroots soldiers are indispensable to both the winners and the losers!
"The last general invites you to fight!"

"The last general invites you to fight!"

"The last general invites you to fight!"

Three voices requesting to fight were heard almost at the same time, and they were Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun who all requested to fight.

The innate secret techniques of these three people are all mainly used to enhance personal martial arts, and they are all famous generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

The scene at this moment is the time for them to show their skills!
Ji Qiu chuckled and said, "I'm very pleased to see you all so happy to hear about the battle and so bravely fight for the lead! In that case, let's leave this battle to Han Sheng!"

Among the three powerful generals, Dian Wei is the chief commander of the Royal Guard Battalion and has the closest relationship with Ji Qiu.

Zhao Yun was recruited by Ji Qiu himself, and Ji Qiu led Zhaojia Village on a journey of nearly two months. During this period, he had many exchanges with Zhao Yun and they were quite close.

Only Huang Zhong, although he was recruited by Ji Qiu himself and Ji Qiu had saved him, was sent out by Ji Qiu as soon as he joined Ji Qiu's army to assist Guo Jia and Jia Xu in going undercover in Taishan County.

I didn't communicate much with Ji Qiu, and it was difficult for our relationship to become close.

As a lord, you must always maintain a balance among your subordinates, not only to maintain their balance of power and interests, but also to maintain their emotional balance and relationship balance.

Therefore, Huang Zhong was chosen to fight at this moment in order to show his close attitude to Huang Zhong!

"Yes!" Huang Zhong's face immediately showed joy and excitement when he heard it, and he saluted solemnly with his fists clasped.

Huang Zhong then squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed out like an arrow.

"I am Huang Zhong, a general under the command of Ji Shijun, the commander of Taishan Commandery. Which of you Yellow Turbans of Taishan dares to come out and fight me?"

Huang Zhong held a broadsword in his hand, a longbow hanging from his back, and stood before the Yellow Turban Army formation on Mount Tai, shouting loudly.

……

In the Yellow Turban Army formation at Mount Tai.

Xu He, wearing heavy armor, stood in the center of the army, watching Ji Qiu's army.

Suddenly hearing Huang Zhong's shout, he was slightly startled: "It's Ji Qiu's troops coming? Isn't he still in Chenliu County?
When did you arrive in Taishan County?
And his first target after coming to Taishan County was me?"

Xu He's news about Ji Qiu was still stuck at the time when Yuan Huan told him that Ji Qiu was stationed in Chenliu and refused to move forward.

After he received the news that an unknown army had entered Ren County, he did not think that it was Ji Qiu's army. He thought it was the Taishan family's army.

Just like the Taishan family had always been plotting against the Yellow Turbans in Taishan, Xu He had actually never trusted the Taishan family from the beginning to the end.

Always remain fully vigilant.

Therefore, after learning that an unknown army had entered Ren County, they were able to organize the army to leave the camp and form a battle line so quickly.

But he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the Taishan family coalition, but Ji Qiu!

But Ji Qiu is Ji Qiu. To Xu He, it makes no difference.

They are all his enemies anyway!

So Xu He said, "Outside the battle formation, Ji Qiu's generals are challenging us. Whoever is willing to step out and fight him?"

"I am willing to go!" A general from the Yellow Turban army stepped forward and asked for battle.

The Yellow Turban Army's military system was, to a certain extent, inspired by the Han Army's system:
Basic-level organization: five people form a squad, with a squad leader; ten people form a platoon, with a platoon leader; fifty people form a team, with a team leader; one hundred people form a village, with a village leader.

Middle-level organization: The five tuns (front, back, left, right, and center) formed a qu (unit), each with 500 men and commanded by a military marquis. The five qu (front, back, left, right, and center) formed a bu (unit), each with 2,500 men and commanded by a sima (commander-in-chief).

Senior management: Ten thousand people are assigned to one side, and the chief general is called Qu Shuai.

Zhang Jue organized his followers into thirty-six factions, with the larger factions having over ten thousand people and the smaller factions having six to seven thousand.

In addition, each unit also has dozens of Yellow Turban sorcerers who cast spells and preach before battle to boost morale, and teach the soldiers the scriptures of the Taiping Dao in normal times, uniting the Yellow Turban soldiers on a spiritual level and making the Yellow Turban Army more united.

Xu He nodded and said, "Very good, then you can go out and fight. Don't bring shame to our army!"

He knew this military marquis and knew that he was a brave and fierce general who had won many battles on the battlefield.

I feel quite confident about him.

Then the general put on his armor, mounted his horse, and rushed towards Huang Zhong with a big axe in his hand.

Behind him, a hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens. But Huang Zhong, facing this imposing general, simply glanced at him casually and dismissed him.

He waited motionlessly for him to rush over, and then when he rushed in front of the horse, he suddenly raised his sword.

A cold light cut through the void, like a sudden appearance.

A six-yang leader rose into the air and separated from the corpse.

All that was left behind was a warhorse carrying the headless corpse of the Yellow Turban general.

A brave Yellow Turban warrior couldn't even withstand a single blow from Huang Zhong!

The Yellow Turban soldiers who were cheering for the military commander with their shouts all seemed to have their throats grasped by arms and could not speak at all.

"Who is this Huang Zhong? How can he be so powerful that he can kill my general with one sword?" Xu He said in astonishment.

Ji Qiu laughed proudly and said, "Han Sheng is indeed a fierce general of the time. The Yellow Turbans are nothing but chickens and dogs to him!"

Huang Zhong has two secret skills.

One of them is the innate secret technique, Penetrating the Sun.

It can increase the attack range and power of long-range weapons.

The ninth level has a 30% increase in primary level, each subsequent level has a 10% increase, and each subsequent level has a 20% increase.

Peak of the first rank, an increase of 480%!

The second is the acquired secret technique, which is continuous.

This secret technique can continuously improve combat effectiveness as the battle time increases.

The ninth level can be increased by up to 50%, each subsequent level can be increased by 20%, and each subsequent level can be increased by 40%.

The peak of the first level can increase up to 950%!

However, these two secret techniques were ineffective against the current fighting general.

Huang Zhong defeated the general just now by relying entirely on his own bravery!

After the first Yellow Turban general who went into battle was killed, the Yellow Turban army fell into a brief silence.

Then two military officers rushed out on horseback and attacked Huang Zhong together.

There is no clear rule that a fight before the battle must be a one-on-one fight.

Otherwise there wouldn't be the scene of three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

As long as both parties agree, it is possible to have a one-on-one match, a one-on-many match, a multiple-on-one match, or a multiple-on-many match.

Of course, under normal circumstances, everyone still follows the principle of one-on-one combat.

If one side sends out multiple people to fight the general first, it is tantamount to admitting defeat, which will lower its own morale.

But it is better to use numbers to bully the minority than to admit defeat completely.

When there is no hope in a one-on-one fight, sending out multiple generals is the only option left!

The Yellow Turban Army cheered again, but the volume was a little lower than before.

As the one being bullied by the majority, Huang Zhong now has two choices.

You can choose to fight or retreat.

His choice to withdraw from the battlefield at this time will not lower his own morale.

Of course, if you choose to fight and win, it will greatly boost your morale.

What a Huang Zhong! He is indeed a man of great skills and courage!
Choose to fight without hesitation.

He just squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed towards the two enemy generals.

The big knife was swung up, and two slashes were made.

Blood spurted out again, and two heads fell to the ground again.

The whole place was dead silent, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, which had just been boosted, was suppressed again.

The morale of Ji Qiu's side soared, and the entire army began to cheer.

This time the Yellow Turban Army remained silent for a longer time than before, and then three more generals rushed out and rushed towards Huang Zhong.

They are going to make one last stand!
The sound of drums beating and cheering could be heard again from the Yellow Turban Army, but it was lower than before.

This time, Huang Zhong did not rush forward to fight with the three generals. Instead, he took the longbow from his back and took out three arrows from the quiver.

Bang bang bang!
Three arrows shot in succession, and immediately shot towards the three Yellow Turban generals like meteors.

Before the three Yellow Turban generals could react, they were shot in the chest and fell off their galloping horses.

The cheers of the Yellow Turban Army stopped again, and their morale was about to hit rock bottom.

Xu He's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that Ji Qiu had such a powerful general under his command.

He was unknown, yet he was able to kill six of his military commanders as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!
This caused severe damage to the morale of his army.

The combat effectiveness has been reduced by at least 30%!

If he had known that Huang Zhong was so brave, he would never have sent his troops to participate in the fight!
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting it.

The only solution now is to send out a large army to fight immediately.

Fortunately, although the combat effectiveness was reduced by 30%, the Yellow Turban Army still had an absolute advantage in numbers, so he still felt that the advantage was mine.

But just when he was about to order the entire army to attack, he heard the sound of ding-ding-ding trumpets coming from the Ji Qiu army formation opposite.

Along with the sound of the horn, Huang Zhong, who was showing off his might in front of the battle formation, also returned to Ji Qiu's army.

"Huh? Ji Qiu actually called Huang Zhong back? Why did he call Huang Zhong back at this time?" Xu He was puzzled.

But before he could figure it out, he saw another young general in a white robe riding his horse out from Ji Qiu's army.

This young general, spear in hand, rode his horse before the Yellow Turban army and shouted, "I am Zhao Yun, deputy general under the command of Ji Shijun, the lieutenant of Taishan Commandery. Which of you Yellow Turbans of Taishan dares to come out and fight me?"

"Ji Qiu called back the battalion commander named Huang Zhong, and then sent a deputy general out to fight against our army again?"

"This person is so arrogant, he really goes too far!"

Xu He came to his senses and was so angry that he felt dizzy.

Ji Qiu's move was extremely arrogant, and it also showed that he underestimated the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai.

However, while Xu He was angry, he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy.

As the saying goes, "Arrogant soldiers will be defeated." How can Ji Qiu, who is so arrogant, last long?
He admitted that the battalion commander named Huang Zhong was indeed powerful.

But it is not easy for Ji Qiu to have such a powerful general under his command. Is it possible that there are other generals of the same level?
Especially the young general in white robe in front of him, who looked so weak and vulnerable. How could he have the power of Huang Zhong just now?

Ji Qiu sent this man out to fight on the battlefield. Isn't this a chance given to him by God to restore the morale of the army?

Xu He decisively ordered, "Whoever helps me kill that young general in white robes will be rewarded handsomely!"

"I am willing to go!" ×6
There were obviously quite a few generals in the Yellow Turban Army who had the same idea as Xu He, and six military officers immediately came forward to request a fight.

But after half an incense stick...

Xu He looked at the six still warm bodies of soldiers in front of the battle and began to doubt his life.

This is fucking ridiculous! Ji Qiu actually has a general as brave as Huang Zhong under his command...

This is unscientific!

The morale of the Yellow Turban army at Mount Tai has dropped another 30%...

At this time, the sound of ding-ding-ding horns was heard again in Ji Qiu's army, and Zhao Yun was called back to the army.

A burly, bald man holding two halberds, mounted a tall horse and rushed out from Ji Qiu's army. He stood before the Yellow Turbans and shouted, "I am Dian Wei, a general in the personal guard battalion under the command of Ji Shijun, the Taishan Commander. Which of you Yellow Turbans of Taishan dares to come out and fight me?"

"Whoever dares to fight, come and help me kill this evil general!" Xu He said with gritted teeth.

In fact, as far as he was concerned, he didn't want to send anyone out to fight on the battlefield at this time.

Falling into a gutter once is enough, how can you fall into the same gutter repeatedly?
Especially the Dian Wei in front of him, he is the commander of Ji Qiu's personal guard camp.

According to common sense, the bravery of the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion has always been superior to that of the commanders of other battalions.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, the other battalion commanders and deputy commanders, already possess such strength. How can they be underestimated as the commanders of the personal guard battalion?

But now he is in a difficult situation.

He fought with Ji Qiu twice in front of the battlefield, and both times the opponent killed six of his own men, winning a great victory.

The morale of the Yellow Turban army in Mount Tai has reached rock bottom.

If they chose to remain closed and not fight at this time, Xu He was very worried that the morale of the Yellow Turban army in Mount Tai would collapse!
At this point, it was no longer a question of whether he wanted to fight the general, but that he had to fight the general.

Even if six more military officers die, it is better than closing the door and not fighting!
But his men were not stupid either. All the Yellow Turban generals bowed their heads deeply, and no one asked for a fight!
Xu He had no choice but to be tough.

"You, you, you, you, the six of you go and fight the generals. If you can kill Dian Wei, you will be promoted three levels immediately!" Xu He pointed at the six people in a row and said.

The six military officers had no choice but to step out and receive orders.

Then they did not fight in the order of one, two, and three as before, but instead the six of them rushed out at the same time to surround and kill Dian Wei!

But it must be said that Xu He's speculation makes sense.

If six Yellow Turban generals surrounded and attacked Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, they might have to avoid them.

But the person they surrounded and killed happened to be Dian Wei!

To be fair, Dian Wei's one-on-one combat strength is better than Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

This does not mean that Dian Wei's overall strength exceeds that of Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, but Dian Wei's innate secret technique is indeed more suitable for single combat!

So Dian Wei faced the siege of six generals, but he became more and more courageous. He wielded his double halberds with great force and suppressed the six Yellow Turban generals.

Half an incense stick later, the six Yellow Turban Army officers turned into corpses again...

At this time on the battlefield, the Yellow Turban army was silent, the army formation was shaky, and it was on the verge of collapse.

On the other hand, Ji Qiu's side was full of fighting spirit. All the soldiers shouted loudly and their morale was high!

Ji Qiu praised: "Zhicai's way of using troops is truly miraculous!

In an ordinary battle on the battlefield, only one person is sent out to determine the winner.

Zhicai, however, sent Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei into battle one after another, forcing the Yellow Turbans to fight three times in a row, repeatedly undermining the morale of the Yellow Turban army.

Even before the armies actually engaged in battle, the morale of the Yellow Turbans was on the verge of collapse. This battle was already won! "
