Chapter 54 Guan Yu: I am not a flatterer!
On the city wall, Zou Jing slowly shook his head: "This is not Xuande's fault, nor is it Zhan's fault."

"Those thousands of Yellow Turban warriors were fearless and brave, and that's because your brother has the ability to become a Heavenly General. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to retreat at all."

Zhang Fei heaved a sigh of relief and said in a muffled voice, "General, you are a sensible person. If you want to punish my brother, you have to get past me first."

"I really want to kill you, you on the city wall"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei coughed violently twice: "Yide, stop talking nonsense!"

"We are the subjects of the Han Dynasty. Even if you want to find fault with me, you must not kill people wantonly. Why don't you retreat?"

Zhang Fei curled his lips and didn't dare to continue speaking.

Liu Bei continued, "Captain, I am not boasting. Yide is at the level of a Heavenly General, but even he could only fight his way out of those Yellow Turban warriors and could not completely eliminate them. The rest of us would have no chance of winning against these thousands of Yellow Turban warriors."

"Why not break out for now, rush to Fanyang, take advantage of the terrain and defend Youzhou?"

"I heard that the imperial court has already sent Lu Shi to the north to suppress the rebels. We can naturally break the siege once the army arrives."

Zou Jing's face was full of hesitation. It was not that he disagreed with Liu Bei's words, but abandoning the city was a capital crime. Even if his superiors were sympathetic, he would have no hope of promotion in this life. Should he make this decision? This was a question.

Liu Bei continued to persuade him, "We are all martial artists, and we all know that the higher the realm, the harder it is to break through. There are probably not many generals in the entire northern land. If we want to win, we can only use the majority to defeat the minority. Therefore, we are temporarily avoiding the sharp edge, but just to preserve our strength. We are definitely not deserting the battlefield."

"If you keep yourself useful, you will surely have something in the future."

Before Liu Bei finished his impassioned speech, a captain shouted, "Captain, look, what is that?"

Zou Jing and all the other captains' attention were drawn outside the city.

But thousands of cavalrymen carrying large banners with the word "Ye" on them had already charged into the Yellow Turban Army.

Thousands of cavalrymen charged into the Yellow Turban Army, and no one could stop them wherever they went.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Captain, let's leave the city immediately and fight with all our might. We can defeat the bandits by attacking them from both sides."

Zhang Fei nodded excitedly: "That's a very good point. I didn't kill enough just now."

"Go again."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Bei's sharp gaze shot at him again.

Zhang Fei quickly shut up and remained silent.

"Captain, don't be impulsive. If we can't defeat thousands of fearless Yellow Turban warriors, the Yellow Turban Army will not collapse."

"In my opinion, it's easy for them to break in, but it's hard to break out again..."

Zou Jing remained silent. He had witnessed the horror of the Yellow Turban warriors with his own eyes, so he agreed with Liu Bei's words.

The other captains were just excited about the chaotic scene and just wanted to charge in, so they suggested the internal and external forces to cooperate. At this moment, Zou Jing did not say anything, so they would not say anything more.

Zhang Fei was a little displeased, and pouted: "Brother, when did you become so timid?"

"How about I go out and charge in?"

"cough cough"

Liu Bei was so angry at Zhang Fei that he coughed violently and even coughed up blood: "You black man, do you still recognize me as your big brother?"

"Brother, don't be angry, I dare not say more!"

"I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you."

Outside the city of Zhuojun, Cheng Zhiyuan had just defeated Liu Bei and Zhang Fei who had rushed out of the city, but before he had time to be happy, he heard about the chaos in the rear army.

"what happened?"

"Where do the enemies come from?"

"Quick, tell the Yellow Turban warriors to stop attacking the city and retreat first, retreat." Not long after, Sun Yong returned from the rear camp panting: "General Qu, the fighting power of this cavalry is terrifying. The old, weak, sick and disabled in the rear army are no match for them at all."

"Only the Yellow Turban Warriors can help us out!!"

Cheng Zhiyuan frowned, looking hesitant.

When Zhang Jue handed over this group of Yellow Turban warriors to him, he specifically pointed out that although the Yellow Turban warriors were tireless, brave and invincible, each battle would cause a great loss of energy and blood.

Zhang Jue had ordered these 3,000 Yellow Turban warriors to eliminate the father and son of the Ye family in Zhongshan County. Now he was using them in advance. Sun Yong's report just now also said that 500 of the Yellow Turban warriors were killed.

If we continue to push forward, how many more casualties will there be in this battle?
How to deal with Ye Feng and his generals?
Cheng Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "The rear troops, move aside. The Yellow Turban warriors will form a three-talent battle formation!"

"Three Talents Battle Formation?"

Sun Yong had naturally heard of this battle formation. It was something that the great sage Zhang Jue had specially comprehended from the Tianping Essential Technique and could reach the earth level.

However, the deduction of the earth-level battle formation was too time-consuming. Although Zhang Jiao had deduced it, it was not perfect. Every time it was used, the user's life was consumed.

Therefore, Sun Yong advised: "General Qu, I heard that this formation will backfire. The Yellow Turban warriors are enough to destroy these cavalrymen. Why take the risk?"

Cheng Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to the sound of fighting getting closer and closer, and sighed softly: "The Three Talents Battle Formation requires three thousand Yellow Turban warriors to exert its maximum strength."

"After the battle formation is launched, I will have a cultivation base that rivals that of a celestial general, and the Yellow Turban warriors will have double the combat power."

"But there is a harsh condition. We cannot deploy the formation if we have less than 2,000 people."

"If the casualties among the Yellow Turban warriors increase, and a leopard-headed, round-eyed person with the strength of a heavenly general attacks the city, how should we respond?"

"Even though launching a battle array will shorten our lives, in order to pacify Youzhou as soon as possible, for the sake of the great sage master, and for the sake of the upcoming world of great harmony, we have no choice but to do it!!"

Sun Yong and other generals were all deeply moved and wanted to replace Cheng Zhiyuan, but this battle formation method could only be practiced by people at Qu Shuai's level.

therefore
"The rear troops, move aside, the Yellow Turban warriors, form a battle formation!!"

As the order spread across the battlefield, the Yellow Turban soldiers, who had long since collapsed, no longer hesitated and fled to both sides.

"My lord, these rabble can't hold out any longer!"

"It's really boring. There's not even one person who can fight."

"Yun Chang, don't be so sharp with your sword. Kill all the people on horseback you see. At least leave a few for us."

"Haha!! Why would you need a second blow for someone who is willing to sacrifice his own life?"

The people who were speaking were Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He. As for Gao Lan, he was left in Zhongshan by Ye Feng to prevent the Yellow Turban bandits from stealing the house.

Ye Feng originally had the same idea as the four of them, but when he saw the defeated soldiers separated and three square formations of more than a thousand people were arranged in a V-shape, he suddenly became interested.

"It seems that Zhang Jiao still has a lot of contraband in his hands."

"These people should be the Yellow Turban Warriors, the most elite troops under Zhang Jiao. It took more than ten years of hard work to train only 30,000 people."

Guan Yu raised the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand and said: "No matter how powerful you are, I am no match for you, my lord."

"The infinite battle formation is activated, and the enemy is falling apart."

Hearing the compliment, Ye Feng was startled and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao both gave Guan Yu a thumbs up, with strange looks in their eyes. They were obviously also surprised that Guan Yu would say this.

Perhaps there were too many such looks, and Guan Yu's already red face became even redder: "What?"

"Am I wrong?"

"My lord is a man of both civil and military talents, he is invincible in the world!!"

"I'm not a flatterer!"
