Chapter 118: 118. Saving Private Kong Rong

Huang Zhong heeds the order, he asks if Lie Fan will participate in the battle and receives an affirmative from Lie Fan. When Huang Zhong tried to persuade him, Lie Fan waved his hand indicating that he had decided. Lie Fan wanted to try the power he had accumulated through intense cultivation and drinking the potions he had.

Huang Zhong returned to the army camp and began assembling 50,000 soldiers. Dian Wei, Zang Ba, Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Ze Rong Lie Fan's top general fathered on the main tent. They want to know the reason Huang Zhong suddenly raised the troops after coming back from meeting Lie Fan.

Huang Zhong explained to them that 200,000 Yellow Turban remnants rose up in Qing Province, and Kong Rong the Chancellor of Beihai asked for help as he was now besieged in Duchang. Everyone was excited as this was a chance to gain merit, especially for Dian Wei and Ze Rong who can be said newcomers in the ranks.

It may be weird why none of the generals ask Husng Zhong if their 50,000 soldiers can defeat 200,000 Yellow Turbans because each and every one of them has participated in the battle against the Yellow Turbans in their own way and knows how weak the combat capabilities of the Yellow Turbans.

They only have the advantage of numbers, numbers are important but without proper training and equipment sooner or later they will be defeated. Lie Fan's war engine began to light up, people of Xiapi knew that Lie Fan would send soldiers to Qing Province to exterminate rebels there.

The many youths of Xiapi clamored to volunteer to join the Army, Lie Fan let Huang Zhong choose 1,000 of the best youths and form a battalion under his command. Huang Zhong at night reported to Lie Fan that they could only muster 40,000 as the other 10,000 were stationed in Xiaopei.

Lie Fan ordered for them to be called back, he forgot that 10,000 were in Xiaopei as laborers for the finished most being built for Xiaopei Defences. Xiaopei now become more defensible from future attacks, especially coming from Yan or Yu Province.

Thinking that this could delay them in helping Kong Rong, Lie Fan called for Jia Xu to use the Orioles to inform the 10,000 soldiers from Xiaopei to immediately march to Langye while they waited for them there.

After Huang Zhong and Jia Xu left his residence, Ying Yue and Diao Chan who heard Lie Fan would go to battle were afraid for his wellbeing. Ying Yue is not as nervous because she has experienced this feeling of waiting for Lie Fan to come back from battle, Diao Chan on the other hand even cries a little afraid that something could happen to Lie Fan.

Lie Fan feels warmth and distress at the same time, he is afraid of what will happen to both Ying Yue and Diao Chan if he falls in battle, especially from his political enemies. Lie Fan comforted both of them and promised to protect himself and he will bring his bodyguards along with him so they can be rest assured.

That night to comfort both of his wives, Lie Fan makes the three of them sleep together in his quarters. No adult things, just sleep together in the same room. Diao Chan and Ying Yue each sleep beside him, and Lie Fan in the middle hugs the two of them tightly while saying words of comfort.

The next morning, Lie Fan woke up from his sleep and he got up from his bed lightly. Lie Fan adorned his armor after taking a bath, he kissed Ying Yue and Diao Chan on the forehead After that he took out his halberd from inventory and then together with his bodyguards went to the stable on Lie Clan residence and went on their horses.

At the northern gate of Xiapi, 30,000 soldiers have been assembled in their formation waiting for Lie Fan, Huang Zhong the highest-ranking general is leading the army at the front of the formation. Lie Fan's advisors who followed him to the battle were Jia Xu and Xun You, the rest stayed at Xiapi to handle the government.

Lie Fan riding Pangu goes to the front of the formation, his battalion The Guard Battalion now numbered 5,000 men is waiting for him there alongside 1,000 youth from Xiapi who become a battalion under his command. Chao Bai is the commander of 13,000 infantries, Huang Zhong is the commander of 7,000 archers, and Zang Ba is the commander of 13,000 cavalries.

Chao Bo and Ze Rong are leading 2,000 men of the logistical battalion, and Dian Wei is assigned to his Guard battalion becoming his second in command. Jia Xu and Xun You are protected by Oriole members so they have their own personal protection.

Lie Fan: "Everyone! Today we are advancing to the Qing Province to help our brothers who were besieged by Yellow Turban remnants that dared to rise again! Let's show them why we are the menace to Yellow Turbans in our previous wars and subjugations, making them never even think to rise again!"

Everyone: "Hoahh!!!"

Lie Fan: "Then let's march! Whoever contributes the highest merits will be rewarded handsomely!"

Lie Fan's army morale rose through the roof, especially when they heard they could receive a handsome reward for whoever contributed the biggest merit. Lie Fan led the march of his army, They spent a week before arriving at Langye where 10,000 soldiers from Xiaopei arrived the next day when Lie Fan stationed his army to rest.

Now numbering 51,000 men Lie Fan led them to Duchang spending 3 weeks before they reached the outskirts of Duchang. Along the way, they encounter groups scattered yellow turbans army, numbering between 3,000 to 5,000 men.

Lie Fan allowed his armies to slaughter them and in the end, they captured 5,000 yellow turbans whom Lie Fan turned into the prisoner army as a meat shield for his armies.

Jia Xu and Xun You predicted that because Beihai hasn't fallen yet and Kong Rong is still alive fighting in Duchang the 200,000 are now not united under one command and scattered throughout Qing Province.

Jia Xu has also sent words to the Oriole members who keep an eye on Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong to incorporate the armies they managed to recruit. Taishi Chi follows Lie Fan's army and is stationed alongside Dian Wei, The two men immediately hit off with their brash personalities in combat and sense of justice.

Lie Fan stationed his army on the outskirts of Duchang waiting for Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong to bring the reinforcements should we say of the Yellow Turbans they managed to recruit. In the command tent, Lie Fan takes out the Vision Map and puts it on the table.

Jia Xu and Xun You love the detailed map that Lie Fan has of the Country. Lie Fan can see on the map that Kong Rong now only had 20,000 troops and was being besieged by 100,000 Yellow Turban in the small city of Duchang.

The rest of the Yellow Turbans are scattered throughout Qing Province, and he can see that a group of 10,000 yellow turbans are marching towards their location. Lie Fan can see that Zhang Macheng and Zhao Hong are the leaders as they are his subordinates so at least they will have 66,000 soldiers alongside 20,000 of Kong Rong becoming 86,000.

Lie Fan and his army waited for 2 days before Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong finally arrived bringing 10,000 Yellow Turbans to incorporate into his army alongside a Yellow Turban general named Guan Hai. Lie Fan was happy that they brought Guan Hai, he could be assigned to become his bodyguard.

Lie Fan immediately assembled his army and they marched to Duchang, on Duchang Kong Rong led his army to defend Duchang against the besiegement of the Yellow Turbans. He is now waiting for his reinforcement to come Fortunately, Duchang is stocked with plenty of supplies and the Yellow Turbans are inexperienced and under-equipped for siege battle.

When Kong Rong and his 20,000 men fought against the 100,000 Yellow Turbans, suddenly rains of arrows crashed down on the Yellow Turbans. Kong Rong's army and the Yellow Turbans were surprised by this, The Yellow Turban's Flank then was attacked by 15,000 cavalry, and on the horizon Lie Fan's banner could be seen with infantries and archers marching.

The Yellow Turbans immediately separated 50,000 of them under their leader Huang Shao, The Qing Yellow Turbans had 2 leaders which was Zhang Rao and Huang Shao who both had experience in military command.

The 15,000 cavalry that attacked the Yellow Turbans' flank was a 5,000-guard battalion under Lie Fan's lead and 10,000 Cavalries under Zang Ba. While the yellow turbans were organizing 50,000 soldiers to face Lie Fan's army, their flank was under heavy attack by Lie Fan's cavalries.

Lie Fan now has reached a new height of his power, With Dian Wei they sliced through the Yellow Turban soldier easily like a paper. Lie Fan and Zang Ba both lead their respective battalion to pierce through the Yellow Turbans' formation and turn around before they reach the Duchang walls.

Lie Fan's cavalries have used the arched saddle and their horses are covered with medium armor so they don't have casualties but they receive injuries. Kong Romg who saw their reinforcement had arrived, led his soldiers to fire all of their arrows and even drop heavy things at the Yellow Turbans who were under the wall.

Lie Fan and Zang Ba led their battalion returning to the safety. Huang Shao who has managed to group up 50,000 yellow turbans led them to face off against Lie Fan's 66,000 soldiers. Lie Fan walks to the front of his army formation and shouts to the Yellow Turbans.

Lie Fan: "All of you, I'm Lie Fan Governor Of Xu Province! You all should have heard about me! I ordered you to surrender yourself and you can live! You should have known what happened to the Yellow Turbans who faced me and my army in battle!"

Huang Shao: "So it's you Lie Fan! We will avenge Master Zhang Jiao's death, we will offer your blood to him in our sacred ceremony! Prepare yourselves!"

The Yellow Turbans and Lie Fan's Army prepared themselves, and under the order of Lie Fan and Huang Shao respectively, the respective infantries battalion of both armies began to face off. Lie Fan's infantries march under a neat formation and high discipline, while the Yellow Turbans just run wildly to attack Lie Fan's infantries.
