The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36

Qin Jie was also a little embarrassed to be complained by Zhu Jun, but he also knew that Zhu Jun had agreed to his statement.

At that moment, Qin Jie yelled at the captains around him.

"Han Sheng!"

Not long after, a strong man in soft armor walked up to Qin Jie.

"grown ups."

This general stood in front of Qin Jie respectfully.

"These yellow turban thieves may be about to retreat. We must not let them escape. See if you can shoot the leader of the other party first. If these yellow turban thieves have no leader, they will definitely not be able to evacuate safely. At that time, they will flee in all directions. We think It's easy to wipe them out."

Qin Jie didn't speak to the general in front of him in an orderly tone, but asked the general in a questioning tone, letting the general decide for himself.

After Qin Jie finished speaking, the general was silent for a moment before replying to Qin Jie.

"My lord, I have no objection to your decision, but I am not confident in my archery skills. I may not be able to shoot and kill the enemy commander in this chaotic army."

"No problem, you just need to make a move. As for whether you can kill it, it's up to fate."

Qin Jie didn't feel annoyed because of the general's refusal, but was pleasantly surprised because the other party agreed.

And this general, after hearing Qin Jie's words, naturally did not hesitate to negotiate, and immediately took off the curved bow he was carrying on his back.

"My lord, which one is the enemy chieftain?"

Taking off the bow and arrow, the general glanced at the battlefield, but did not directly find the enemy chieftain.

The generals in the Yellow Turban Army are different from those in the official army.

The officers and soldiers are well-equipped, and the generals and soldiers dress up differently, while the Yellow Turban Army is relatively poor. Everyone wears yellow scarves, and the clothes on their bodies are coarse linen. What’s more, they don’t wear tops , Fighting fiercely with shirtless arms.

Although Zhang Mancheng is the envoy of the gods, he is only wearing a yellow robe, which is not conspicuous in the yellow turban army on the battlefield.

So it's normal that the general didn't recognize who Zhang Mancheng was at the first time.

Zhu Jun, on the other hand, recognized Zhang Mancheng's location immediately.

"That, in the middle of the battlefield, wearing a yellow turban, holding a long sword in his hand, and surrounded by many generals, is Zhang Mancheng."

Zhu Jun pointed out Zhang Mancheng's position, and at the same time turned his gaze to this general whom Qin Jie placed high hopes on.

Zhu Jun also wanted to see what kind of ability this general, who was valued by Qin Jie, could be so far apart, and at the same time, be able to kill the enemy commander with one arrow through so many people.

The general followed Zhu Jun's words and looked towards the distance.

But because the geographical location is not good, Zhang Mancheng cannot be seen clearly.

After frowning, the man jumped up and kicked the wooden stick beside him, causing the stick to fall on the pile of wood beside him.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of this person leaped into the air, and he took out the bow and arrow with his backhand.

The lower body horse stepped steadily, and the upper body had already drawn the bow and arrow in the hands into a full moon shape with both hands.

Before Zhu Jun and Qin Jie could react, the arrow in this man's hand had quietly disappeared.

He shot at Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in the distance.

When the man landed on the ground, he put away his bow and arrow like flowing clouds and flowing water.

The whole process was smooth and done in one go, without any hesitation.

"This is the end?"

As a seasoned general, Zhu Jun was also stunned by the archery skills of the man in front of him.

The man nodded.

"Well, the arrow has already been shot. I don't know if I can hit it, but if the opponent didn't detect it in advance, it must be impossible to dodge my arrow."

"This"

Zhu Jun looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, and at the same time looked at Qin Jie.

Qin Jie couldn't believe it either, so he hurriedly poked his head out at this moment, and began to look in the direction of Zhang Mancheng.

I want to see if Zhang Mancheng has been shot dead.

the other side.

Following Zhang Mancheng's order, Liu Zheng was about to lead his people to evacuate with the army, but at this moment, Xu Huang keenly felt that something was wrong.

"No, there's a stab in the back!"

After Liu Zheng was shot from the back in Quyang last time, Xu Huang always paid more attention to Liu Zheng's side.

This time, he keenly felt another arrow coming.

Xu Huang thought it was aimed at Liu Zheng, and immediately guarded Liu Zheng.But when he reacted, there was a scream from the side.

Zhang Mancheng turned around, and at this moment, an arrow stuck in his back.

The arrow is very thin, but narrow and sharp.

He shot Zhang Mancheng in the back, and the roots had penetrated deeply, only a feather was exposed outside.

Zhang Mancheng screamed in pain, his face was immediately furious, and he turned his head to look at the arrow behind him. He was lucky, and when Xu Huang yelled, he twisted his body.

Otherwise, the arrow hit his heart directly.

But now, although the arrow hit his chest, it had already avoided the vital point.Although Zhang Mancheng was in great pain with one arrow, it was not enough to die on the spot.

"Apostle!"

When Liu Zheng saw that Zhang Mancheng was hit by an arrow, he immediately turned pale with fright. He ran over to protect Zhang Mancheng, and at the same time ordered other people to guard their surroundings to prevent any more hidden arrows from coming.

Zhang Mancheng let out a scream after being hit by the arrow, and passed out not long after that, and his life and death are unknown.

All of a sudden, the command of the entire Yellow Turban Army fell to Zhao Hong.

The emergence of the sudden situation made Zhao Hong a little flustered and at a loss, so he had to guide everyone to retreat.

"Not good, the enemy has a good shooter, everyone hides and retreats at full speed!"

After Liu Zheng glanced in the direction of Zhu Jun and Qin Jie, he immediately spotted the man standing beside them, a general holding a bow and arrow.

Immediately shouted at the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, and at the same time, began to speed up the withdrawal of the Yellow Turban Army.

But Zhu Jun and Qin Jie rode on the horses and saw Zhang Mancheng fell to the ground. For a moment, they only thought that Zhang Mancheng was dead.

Naturally, he was even more delighted, and immediately ordered the guards to intensify the impact, and began to charge with the whole army, beheading the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Zheng glanced at it resentfully, and immediately stopped asking about the affairs here, and started to retreat from here with his soldiers and horses together with Zhao Hong.

Several hours later, the Yellow Turban Army returned to Nanyang County and temporarily stationed in a nearby county.

"How is Zhou Cang? Have you found out the news? Who is the person who shot Zhang Mancheng, the envoy of God, with an arrow in the back?"

After arriving and stationing in the county, Fengyun immediately asked Zhou Cang to find out who was the one who shot the arrow in the back on the battlefield before.

After Zhou Cang came back, Liu Zheng immediately asked questions.

"Shuai Qu, I found out, that person is Huang Zhong, a captain under Qin Jie's command!"

Chapter 37 Guerrilla warfare

Huang Zhong!

Huang Hansheng!

The number one sharpshooter of the Three Kingdoms!

"It was him!"

After hearing Zhou Cang's words, Liu Zheng didn't even doubt the authenticity of what Zhou Cang said.

After all, being able to hit Zhang Mancheng with one arrow through such a long distance, and at the same time be able to shoot Zhang Mancheng with such force, apart from Huang Zhong, few people in the entire Three Kingdoms era could do it.

Before that, Liu Zheng had been wondering why Zhang Mancheng had more than [-] soldiers and horses to fight against Qin Jie's mere [-] troops, even with the help of Zhu Jun's reinforcements.

It's not like I'm going to die.

After all, Zhang Mancheng is the commander-in-chief, he doesn't need to fight hand-to-hand on the battlefield himself, he just commands the troops in the rear.

But he died in a great battle, but his men did not die in battle.

so strange.

Liu Zheng still couldn't figure it out before, but now, after hearing Zhou Cang's words, he understood everything at once.

With Huang Zhong's presence, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Zhang Mancheng to live.

But now, after Liu Zheng knew about Huang Zhong's existence, he suddenly became anxious.

It's okay to deal with a Qin Jie, even with Zhu Jun's assistance, Liu Zheng is not helpless, but now there is another Huang Zhong, which makes the battle more confusing.

After all, not to mention his personal strength, Huang Zhong is still a good shooter. He needs to be on guard against his back arrows at any time. If he is not careful, he will die directly.

This made Liu Zheng a little embarrassed.

While still pondering how to deal with Huang Zhong, Zhao Hong sent someone over.

"Liu Zheng Qu Shuai, Zhao Hong Qu Shuai came to you to discuss matters."

"Understood, I'll go right now."

Liu Zheng let go of the temporary worries in his heart, took Zhou Cang, Xu Huang and others, and went directly to Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong is Zhang Mancheng's confidant. After Zhang Mancheng was injured, Zhao Hong temporarily took over Zhang Mancheng's position and commanded the entire Nanyang Yellow Turban Army.

Although Liu Zheng is also a member of the Yellow Turban Army now, but because Liu Zheng is not from Zhang Mancheng's lineage after all, there is still some gap between him and Zhao Hong.

He didn't get too close to Zhao Hong, and he would take the initiative to meet Zhao Hong only when Zhao Hong was looking for him.

"Brother Zhao Hong, how is the envoy's injury?"

As soon as he saw Zhao Hong, Liu Zheng immediately asked Zhao Hong about Zhang Mancheng's injuries. After all, Zhang Mancheng was more or less their boss, and if he could not die, he had better be alive.

The purpose of his life is to gather the morale of the Yellow Turban Army. If Zhang Mancheng dies, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army will definitely be affected, and it will be even more difficult to deal with the official army.

Zhao Hong's expression was flat.

"Fortunately, I went to the doctor to see it, and said that luckily it didn't hit the vital point. If the arrow misses a bit more, I'm afraid the gods won't be able to save him. Now we only need to rest for a while, so the problem must be fine."

"But in this situation, how can the superior envoy rest in peace? Firstly, the coalition forces of Zhu Jun and Qin Jie will attack at any time. Secondly, we have no leader and cannot fight against the official army."

Zhao Hong doesn't have much ability, but he is honest and deeply trusted by Zhang Mancheng.

At this time, Zhang Mancheng was injured, and the courage of the entire Yellow Turban Army fell on Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong was under a lot of pressure, but there was nothing he could do, so he called Liu Zheng over to discuss together.

"How's the situation? Where are those officers and soldiers now?"

Liu Zheng didn't answer Zhao Hong's question directly, but frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then asked Zhao Hong back.

"According to our spies, Qin Jie and Zhu Jun's men did not directly chase after them, but advanced slowly. Now they have gone to recover some other county towns, but it won't be long before they come to us. .”

"You mean that the government and the army have divided up their forces to recover other counties?"

Nanyang County not only has Wancheng as a major success, but also many small counties. These counties also dispatched many Yellow Turbans.

Zhang Mancheng's 20 troops, in fact, only about 10 people gathered around him, and some other troops were stationed in other counties.

Just like Ye County, where Liu Zheng stayed before, there are 3 people led by Sun Xia, and some other counties have a small Qu Shuai leading thousands to tens of thousands of people.

The fact that the officers and soldiers did not come to fight Zhang Mancheng's large army here at this time was to annihilate the soldiers and horses in other counties of Nanyang County first, cut off Zhang Mancheng's wings in other counties, and then come to a decisive battle with Zhang Mancheng's army.

At that time, Zhang Man, who is isolated and helpless, will become an army, and he will not be trapped in an isolated city, and there will be a dead end.

On the contrary, when Liu Zheng heard the news, his face suddenly beamed with joy.

"Great, I was just worried that I couldn't find a way to deal with these guys. I didn't expect them to divide their troops and act. If they were gathered together, some of the 3 people would really be unable to deal with them. But if they were separated, then It’s not monolithic anymore.”

Liu Zheng said something suddenly, which made Zhao Hong look a little better. He heard from Liu Zheng's words that Liu Zheng seemed to have a way to deal with these officers and soldiers.

"Do you have a solution?"

"There is a way, but I just don't know, handsome Zhao Hongqu, are you willing or not?"

"any solution?"

"Guerrilla!"
