Chapter 632 Battlefield Fighting
It is said that the general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs interfered in government affairs, emperors changed frequently, local tyrants levied heavy taxes and annexed land, and coupled with successive years of natural disasters, countless people were struggling on the brink of death.
At this time, the officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had no choice but to rebel. In order to have food to eat and a way to survive, thousands of ordinary people had no choice but to raise the banner and embark on the road of rebellion.
In 184 AD, a massive Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the country. The Taiping Dao, led by the great sage Zhang Jue, rallied the common people to attack government offices and counties, shocking the entire world.
The Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jue had a broad mass base, and its followers even infiltrated high-ranking officials in the court and eunuchs in the palace. It had great prestige among the poor people, and its followers numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, the uprising started with great momentum and smoke, catching the Han court off guard.
Although the Han Empire was already on the decline at this time, it still had many capable civil and military officials. It quickly dispatched famous generals such as Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun to quell the rebellions, and at the same time summoned volunteer armies in various states and counties to prepare for war.
It didn't take long for the Han army to stabilize the situation in all directions and began to gradually counterattack.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion had an unclear strategy, and they burned, killed, and looted along the way. No matter whether they were noble families or ordinary people, they were all robbed and gradually deviated from their original intentions, causing public outrage and complete isolation. In addition, they lacked unified command and management, and did not know how to govern internal affairs and stabilize the local area. Their defeat was inevitable.
In August 184 AD, in a wilderness in the northern part of Jizhou.
When Lu Cheng regained consciousness, he found that he seemed to be pressed down by something. His whole body was wet and sticky. A strong smell of blood came from his nostrils, and there were bursts of shouts and screams all around him.
Without time to think, Lu Cheng pushed the things on his body away, and there were two bleeding corpses. They were both thin, ragged, with yellow scarves on their heads, and holding farm tools. They were obviously two Yellow Turban soldiers who died in the battle.
He stood up from the pile of corpses and looked around, and saw a team of over a thousand soldiers killing a group of Yellow Turban Army. Those half-naked and poorly equipped Yellow Turban Army had obviously been at a disadvantage, and the only fate waiting for them was to be slaughtered.
At this moment, a sense of danger came, and Lu Cheng subconsciously dodged sideways and grabbed an arrow firmly in his hand.
Turning around, he saw a soldier on a small hill not far away, drawing his bow and looking at him. He was obviously surprised that he could catch the arrow.
Without waiting for the other party to react, Lu Cheng threw the arrow out. The arrow seemed to be shot from a strong bow. With a "swoosh" sound, it accurately hit the neck of the soldier who was drawing the bow.
After hurriedly looking at his own attire and touching the yellow scarf on his head, Lu Cheng quickly put himself into his current identity, an ordinary Yellow Turban soldier.
Lu Cheng didn't have time to think too much. He was currently in the middle of a fierce battle, and surviving was the first priority.
Then, Lu Cheng quickly scanned the battlefield in front of him and soon found where the Yellow Turban Army gathered. He picked up a hoe on the ground and rushed over.
After rushing out two or three feet, there was a soldier with a spear in front who was about to stop him. Lu Cheng smashed his head with a hoe, and snatched the spear from the soldier's hand. He then jumped up, crossed two or three feet in the air, came to a cavalryman of the government army, stabbed him off his horse with a spear, and snatched his more sophisticated spear and horse.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield was fleeing in all directions, and the officers and soldiers began to disperse and pursue them. There were enemies everywhere, and they were all defeated soldiers.
Lu Cheng took a casual look, found the largest group of Yellow Turban defeated soldiers and rushed over.
The warhorse under his crotch was just an ordinary warhorse. It was a bit strenuous to carry the sturdy Lu Cheng, but it was still faster than running on two legs.
Soon, Lu Cheng caught up with a group of soldiers who were chasing the Yellow Turban Army. He swung his spear left and right, leaving a trail of afterimages. He knocked off several cavalrymen of the army and killed more than twenty infantrymen of the army one by one.
Lu Cheng's amazing performance immediately attracted the attention of other Yellow Turban troops, but everyone was running for their lives and did not dare to stop.
Lu Cheng rushed to the front and shouted, "Stop right there. Follow me if you want to live. I will lead you to fight your way out."
Lu Cheng's loud shout, using the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, instantly suppressed the fleeing soldiers and made them dare not take another step forward.
"There are soldiers everywhere, and they also have cavalry. How can you with two legs outrun those with four legs? You can only survive if you follow me! Now, go back and pick up the weapons on the ground, and follow me to rescue more of our people, so that we can survive!"
When saying this, Lu Cheng had already used his hypnosis skills to make these soldiers subconsciously follow his orders.
With a few people taking the lead, the others immediately followed suit, dropping their hoes, shoulder poles, and dung forks and picking up the officers' guns, ring-handled swords and other weapons.
There were also a few people who were nimble and quick-witted. They stripped the robes from the officers and soldiers and put them on themselves.
In fact, these officers and soldiers were only from local states and counties. Few of them wore armor, and most of them wore coarse linen clothes dyed a uniform red. However, they were much better than the rags worn by the Yellow Turban Army.
Soon, fifty or sixty Yellow Turban soldiers gathered behind Lu Cheng. Then, Lu Cheng led them to rush in another direction, continuing to kill the government troops and gather the defeated soldiers.
Such a chaotic battlefield is also an opportunity for Lu Cheng, who can quickly gather a group of troops and strengthen himself as much as possible.
After killing two or three groups of officers and soldiers in succession, the number of defeated Yellow Turban soldiers under Lu Cheng reached more than 200, and they were equipped with many of the officers and soldiers' weapons.
Such a group of fleeing soldiers soon attracted the attention of other officers and soldiers. The leader of this group of officers and soldiers made a quick decision, gathered two or three hundred soldiers, and killed towards Lu Cheng.
Seeing the aggressive approach of the government troops, the frightened Yellow Turban Army behind Lu Cheng retreated one after another and was on the verge of collapse.
Lu Cheng shouted angrily: "Don't be afraid, I will kill the enemy and carve out a bloody path for you."
After saying that, Lu Cheng clamped his legs lightly on the horse's belly, pointed the spear in his hand diagonally at the ground, and rushed towards the team of soldiers. Alone, he had the momentum of a mighty army.
The officers and soldiers on the opposite side obviously did not expect that Lu Cheng would dare to charge, and hurriedly formed a battle line to meet the enemy, but Lu Cheng had already rushed to the front, holding his spear and riding his horse, and charged directly into the enemy formation.
In an instant, the ranks of officers and soldiers were killed and thrown to pieces. Lu Cheng quickly killed them through the middle like cutting through the waves.
Before the officers and generals in the rear could react, Lu Cheng stabbed them in the neck with a gun, snatched the sword from their hands, and replaced them with war horses.
Immediately, Lu Cheng turned his horse around and charged back again.
Two or three hundred officers and soldiers were terrified by Lu Cheng's killing in a short time. They dropped their weapons and fled in all directions...
