"If you are told to go, you can go. There is so much nonsense. Remember, the sooner you reach the plains, the sooner we will be safe."
Sima Ju glared at Lu Xin.
"promise."
Lu Xin didn't say much, just nodded, and then left the brigade with eight thousand yellow scarves and headed northeast.
"Stop the entire army and organize defense on the spot."
After Lu Xin left, Sima Ju directly ordered to defend on the spot.
"General, the Yellow Turbans divided their troops into eight thousand and headed northeast, while the main army stayed where they were."
Ji Ling's scouts had already spread all over the place, and Sima Ju just divided his troops and reported their movements.
"Divide your troops and head northeast? Commander, he wants to sneak attack on the plains."
When Zhou Chi heard the scout's words, he immediately guessed what the Yellow Turban wanted to do.
"There is a militia group of 10,000 people in the plain. It doesn't matter. If he divides his troops, he will cut off an arm. He orders the whole army to leave the camp. I am determined to eat these 30,000 Yellow Turbans. I will inform Zilong to divert to Leling and collect the Yellow Turbans there."
Ji Ling, however, didn't care. There was really nothing to worry about as eight thousand Yellow Turbans besieged the county where 10,000 militiamen were stationed.
"promise."
"Dong dong dong"
The rumble of drums resounded throughout the sky, and the Tiger Army under Ji Ling rushed out of the camp, formed a formation outside, and then slowly moved forward under the leadership of Ji Ling, marching towards the Yellow Turban Army.
The distance of five miles is not far or close. Normally, half an hour would be enough to march, but now there were yellow scarves waiting in front of them, so they walked this distance for a full hour.
"The formation is well established."
The two armies faced each other. Ji Ling looked at the Yellow Turban Army in front of him and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, it's just a showpiece. The widths between the ranks are different, the shields are not tightly connected at all, and those spears are nothing."
Zhou Chi shook his head and pointed out many shortcomings.
"Haha, you are looking at it from the perspective of your own Tiger Army. If you look at it from the perspective of the Yellow Turbans, it is already very good to be able to do this."
Ji Ling, however, rode his horse forward and came between the two armies.
"I am Ji Ling, the fierce general. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing Ji Ling coming out, Sima Ju also rode out, but he was accompanied by several cavalrymen.
"Haha, you are a little brave and dare to come out to see me."
Seeing Sima Ju coming out, Ji Ling smiled.
"I am Sima Ju, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal. General Ji Ling is polite."
Sima Ju rushed to Ji Ling and clenched his fist, which was regarded as a courtesy first and then an attack.
"Sima Ju, you are very good. I will give you and the Yellow Turbans under your command a chance. Surrender now. I can plead with the lord and give you the rights of free people."
When Ji Ling opens his mouth, he is like a king. You must know that once you join the Yellow Turban, you are a sinner. This is a bad reputation that cannot be washed away.
"Thank you so much, General Ji Ling. As the saying goes, if your wishes are different, your ways will be different. You are for Yuan Shu and I am for the common people in the world. Let's see the truth behind the sword and spear."
Sima Ju shook his head, then rode his horse back to his military formation.
"I will capture you alive, hahahahahaha."
This Sima Ju was very much to Ji Ling's liking, but the battle had to be fought.
Ji Ling was seen raising his right hand high, and then swung it forward with all his strength.
"go ahead."
Zhou Chi waved his hand and hit the battle flag, and the 20,000 tiger soldiers who were already prepared lined up in a neat formation and began to move forward.
"Bow and arrow."
Although Sima Ju had some strategies, he was a novice in commanding on the battlefield. The two armies were separated by at least 300 troops, so he ordered the bows to be fired.
Ten thousand Yellow Turban archers opened their bows and shot out wolf-fang arrows one after another.
However, the Tiger Army did not make any move because they were still far away and their bows and arrows could not reach such a distance.
"Keep shooting, don't stop."
Although the wave failed, Sima Ju still directed the archers to continue shooting.
Wave after wave of arrows were shot out until they were two hundred steps away.
"Shield."
Ji Ling gave an order, and the tiger army was uniformed, with countless shields forming a shield wall to block them.
"Bow and arrow."
After blocking a wave of arrows, the shield was instantly lowered, and war bows that had been fully drawn appeared in the tiger army.
"put."
Five thousand wolf-fang arrows soared into the sky, like the scythe of death, flying towards the Yellow Turban Army ahead.
"Shield, raise your shield quickly."
Seeing the bow and arrow flying, Sima Ju shouted loudly.
Sparsely, all kinds of shields appeared in the Yellow Turban Army instantly, helping them withstand the attack of arrows.
With just a wave of arrows, more than a thousand Yellow Turbans were shot down. Some died directly, some were still moaning, and some even hugged their companions' legs and shouted "Help".
No one went to help them, because this was a battlefield, a place of life and death. At most, one of their companions would stab them with a knife, killing them.
The Yellow Turbans were in chaos, but the Tiger Army did not stop at all and was still advancing in an orderly manner.
One hundred and fifty steps,
One hundred steps,
fifty steps,
thirty steps,
Twenty steps.
"Throw a spear."
If the two armies were confronting each other, Ji Ling should have chosen to throw his spear at fifty paces, but now they were charging against the Yellow Turbans, so he adjusted the spear throwing distance to twenty paces.
Twenty thousand fierce tiger troops means there are twenty thousand short spears.
The sky was full of flying short spears, like countless flying snakes, falling from the sky and falling into the array of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Shield, defense."
Feeling the threat of the short spear, Sima Ju almost shouted to his brothers to defend themselves.
The Yellow Turban Army also worked very hard, and the originally sparse shield formation became tighter. However, it was a pity that the short spear rain of the Tiger Lie Army could not even withstand the heavy armor of the Wenchou Tiger Army, let alone these Yellow Turbans.
Shields were held up in front of him in vain, and then they were torn into pieces like paper by the short spears fired at them wildly.
"charge."
Ji Ling roared loudly, and the shield hands in the front row split instantly, and countless sword and shield soldiers rushed into the Yellow Turban Army like crazy.
War has always been cruel, and there is no mercy. Before each Yellow Turban soldier could react, his head was chopped off with a knife, leaving corpses lying everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.
Facing the powerful Tiger Army, the Yellow Turban Army simply could not resist it.
"Commander, retreat quickly, we can't stop it, we can't stop it."
A small colonel covered in blood rushed to Sima Ju's side. He was Hao Lin, the junior colonel in charge of the front army.
The 10,000 front troops were the 10,000 front troops, and they were defeated by a single charge from the Tiger Army.
"If you can't stop him, you have to stop him. Two days. I only need two days. Lu Xin can reach Pingyuan County in two days."
Sima Ju was furious. He did not believe that his soldiers and horses could not withstand even a wave of enemies.
"Commander, run away quickly."
Another primary school student rushed to Sima Ju's side, his eyes full of fear.
"Is it really unstoppable?"
Seeing the Yellow Turban Army retreating steadily, Sima Ju had a trace of despair in his eyes.
Thinking of him leading troops across Qingzhou, it would be difficult for any official or army to resist him. Even Kong Rong's Northern Navy was at best on par with him, but he had never encountered such a powerful force as the Tiger Army.
