Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 107 The position of the leader
Ding!Ding……

The sound of Mingjin sounded, and Sun Jian, who had already rushed to the top of the city, hacked to death two yellow scarf soldiers with a puzzled look on his face.

This has just rushed up, why is it about to retreat?What the hell is Yuan Shu doing?

The military order was like a mountain, and Sun Jian had no choice but to retreat from the city with four generals.But those other soldiers who had rushed to the top of the city were not so lucky. As soon as the people behind retreated, they were left on the top of the city and were besieged to death by the enemy.

When the siege of the city was in full swing, they suddenly chose to retreat, and there was a trace of confusion in the imperial army. However, at this moment, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and the yellow scarves in the city rushed out like a tide, rushing towards the imperial army.

The Jingzhou Allied Forces were caught off guard, and were rushed into the formation by the Yellow Turban Army, causing chaos.Seeing this situation, Yuan Shu was already at a loss, but luckily Ji Ling rushed over.

"Don't panic, my lord, I'll keep you away first," Ji Ling shouted while leading dozens of horsemen.

Yuan Shu, who had already lost his mind, nodded quickly.

Ji Ling protected Yuan Shu and fled, leaving only Xu Miao, the governor of Jingzhou with weak legs, crying on the spot.

But Sun Jian retreated back and saw Yuan Shu, so he was so angry that he jumped on his feet. In desperation, he had to gather his Jiangdong disciples to resist the Yellow Turban soldiers pouring out of the city.

The general fled, and the Jingzhou coalition army was leaderless and more chaotic, unable to resist the yellow turban soldiers rushing out of the city. At this time, there was a sudden shout of killing from the rear, and the yellow turban warriors who came to support also arrived, attacking back and forth, and the Jingzhou coalition army scattered and fled.

The so-called defeat was like a mountain, and the Jingzhou coalition forces trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.

At this time, countless people rushed out from the left and right sides. Gan Ning led 5 cavalry, rushed into the Yellow Turban team, and slashed wantonly. Cheng Huang, Xing Daorong, and Wei Yan came to meet them with [-] horses.

On the other side, another [-] troops led by Zhang Xian, Han Xuan, and Huang Zhong stopped the Yellow Turban team who came to support them.

With support, the Jingzhou coalition forces stabilized their positions and retreated while fighting, but there was no large-scale rout.

The men and horses on both sides kept fighting until it was dark before they stopped fighting.

After fighting for a day, the Jingzhou coalition army was sleepy and hungry, and was in a panic, but fortunately, the Yellow Turban army did not attack the coalition army camp, otherwise, the coalition army would have tasted the taste of sleeping in the open.

The leaders of various forces returned to camp, reorganized their troops and horses, and counted the battle losses.

In this battle, the coalition forces suffered more than [-] casualties. If it weren't for the two groups of troops who arrived at the critical moment, the coalition forces might have been completely defeated.

Of the 200 soldiers and horses led by Cheng Huang, nearly [-] were lost, most of which were officers and soldiers from Changsha.However, Cheng Huang's direct troops in Dongting suffered only nearly [-] casualties.Nearly a thousand of Wei Yan's personal soldiers were also lost.

In this battle, the coalition forces suffered a disastrous defeat.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the leaders of various forces were all downcast, and their morale was extremely low.

In the position of leader, Xu Miao sat there alone, with a pale face.Although he didn't die in the chaos, he was terrified enough.

But Yuan Shu and Ji Ling had already disappeared.

No one spoke, and the big tent was filled with gloom. The people who had vowed to make great achievements lost their original vigor.

"Cough cough," Ji Yue coughed lightly, "Everyone, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. There is no need to be discouraged by today's defeat. We still have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

However, Yue Yue's words didn't seem to have any effect, and everyone still bowed their heads in silence.Morale dropped and everyone lost confidence.

Cheng Huang didn't say anything, he knew that he had better not say anything at this time, and just wait and see.

Seeing that there was no response from the crowd, Yao Yue cupped his hands to Xu Miao and said, "Lord Inspector, the whereabouts of Yuan Gonglu is unknown, so you can make the decision here, you should make up your mind!"

Xu Miao has already lost his mind, so he has no idea, "Hey," he said with a long sigh, "I'm just a scholar, so I don't know much about military affairs. For the position of leader, I should choose another talented person!"

"My lord, as the governor of Jingzhou, how can you back down at a critical moment!" Yao Yue frowned, and couldn't help but underestimate Xu Miao.Everyone shook their heads secretly.

"Mr. Yu, I'm good at government affairs, but I really don't know anything about military affairs!" Xu Miao said helplessly.

"Well, since Lord Inspector doesn't want to be the leader, please hand over the military amulet! Let's choose another leader."

Xu Miao reluctantly handed over the military talisman and stepped aside.

"Everyone, I am also responsible for this big defeat. Someone already mentioned to me the possible arrival of Yellow Turban reinforcements yesterday. It was my fault that I didn't persuade Yuan Gonglu. Since Governor Xu doesn't want to be the leader of the alliance, we won't force him. , but this leader still needs someone to be the leader, who do you think can take on this important task, just bring it up, how about we discuss it?" Seeing that Xu Miao gave up the position of leader, he said.

No one made a sound. After all, at this time, the Jingzhou army has taken advantage of all the disadvantages. At this time, being the leader of the alliance may be a scapegoat.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yue Yue continued: "If everyone is unwilling to take on this important task, I will recommend one person, and he is General Cheng Huang. To tell you the truth, the one who told me about reinforcements yesterday was General Cheng. General Cheng has demonstrated his extraordinary ability to pacify the Dongting Crystal. Since the Yellow Turban campaign, his performance has been remarkable, and today he and General Han have solved everyone's dilemma. If it were not for him, General Han and others today , our army may have already been defeated. Presumably everyone knows the consequences of the defeat!"

Still no one made a sound, Han Xuan just gritted his teeth and didn't stand up to object, after all he couldn't find a reason to object.

Cheng Huang's heart was also shocked. He originally thought that Jiyue would replace Xu Miao as the leader, and then let himself be the staff.Unexpectedly, Yue Yue would push himself to the fore.

"Since everyone does not object, let's invite General Dangkou to be the leader of the alliance! General Cheng, are you willing to take on this important task?" Yao Yue asked Cheng Huang.

In an instant, all eyes in the hall were on Cheng Huang, and Xing Daorong also showed excitement.After all, if Cheng Huang becomes the leader, he will be a celebrity in front of the leader!

"Cough cough..." Cheng Huang coughed twice, "I, Cheng Huang, am just a low-ranking sesame official. How can He De dare to take on this important task."

According to the script, he would repeatedly refuse, and then everyone begged again and again before he reluctantly accepted.

Sure enough, Yao Yue said: "The position of leader is reserved for those who are capable. Who dares to think that General Cheng is a small official? Even if he can't get past me, he can't get along with the Governor. Mr. Governor, are you right?"

Being stared at by Yue Yue, Xu Miao nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I am willing to support General Cheng."

Cheng Huang rubbed his chin and stepped forward, "Since everyone thinks that I am the leader of the alliance, the hospitality is hard to turn down, if I don't accept it, I will lose face to everyone!"
