Liu Zhuang did not enter the city. He left some people to guard the gate with the Mayi defenders. He turned around and charged with the cavalry, breaking through the Yellow Turbans' northern camp three times. He passed through as if he was in an empty space, protecting five hundred infantrymen and four hundred villagers, who all entered Mayi safely. After everyone had entered, Liu Zhuang was the last one to enter Mayi with the cavalry behind him. At this moment, the Yellow Turbans' Northern Camp had been reduced to a ruin and scorched earth. More than 800 people fled in panic, with many casualties. By the time support from the other four camps arrived, all the more than 900 people had entered the city. Chapter 800: Zhang Liao, the Petty Official ( monthly tickets for extra chapters!) "Liu Zhuang? When did you come?" Looking at the faces of his covenant partners, Tuoba Yun was surprised and delighted. "Thank God, you're okay. I heard about the Yellow Turban Rebellion and immediately led everyone south. We finally caught up." Liu Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tuoba Yun was safe and sound, and gave her a big hug. He was really a little scared. If he had not been there in history, the entire Mayi population, including all of Lu Bu's family members, might have been massacred by the Yellow Turbans. "Yun, what is the current situation in Mayi County?" Liu Zhuang asked nervously. "It's very bad. The Northern Di Captain has taken all his soldiers out to rescue Yinguan. One third of my Tuoba tribe's most elite and strong people have also gone with them. Now the entire Mayi is extremely empty. I tried my best to select only 50 men and horses from the remaining old, young, women and children. Add to that the more than 200 garrison troops of the county government and the dozens of Confucian scholars from several aristocratic families, and that's all the garrison troops."
Tuoba Yun said with a tired look on his face, his beautiful blue eyes had two big dark circles under them. "Can't we recruit some civilians to resist?" "Huh? Guess how this war broke out? A group of county residents, together with the newly recruited slaves of several large families, took the lead in starting a riot in Mayi County! To support the Yellow Turban Army from outside! A quarter of the Huang family's house in Mayi was burned down. I don't know what happened to the fortress outside the city. Fortunately, I didn't go with the captain because I got married, and I stayed in Mayi with some people. After the riot broke out, I led my people to charge and crush the Yellow Turbans' internal support. Otherwise, Mayi would have fallen." Tuoba Yun quickly dispelled Liu Zhuang's idea. "Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans had no siege equipment and could not break through the city walls, so we were able to hold out until now. The people in the county town cannot be trusted, and no one knows whether they are the Yellow Turbans' accomplices or not." "Okay, so where's the armory?" Liu Zhuang frowned. "The 550 men I have are absolutely trustworthy, but they have no armor. They are fine for a night attack, but if we want to fight head-on, they must wear armor to have a chance of winning. Just turn my 500 soldiers into armored soldiers, and I will immediately defeat these 1,000 Yellow Turbans." "Over here, follow me." Tuoba Yun immediately sent a group of people to inform the county magistrate, and he took Liu Zhuang and the vast White Horse militia to the armory of Mayi. The situation was so urgent that he could not care less. The streets of Mayi were covered with corpses with yellow scarves on their heads, like a carpet woven with flesh and blood. Countless crows and vultures were circling in the sky, like a dark cloud of death. The closer they got to the armory, the more bodies of Yellow Turbans and civilians they saw. The scarlet blood even accumulated into a lake, and then coagulated into dark red blood scabs. Looking down from the sky, it seemed as if the entire county was covered with scars from this war. At the entrance of the armory, there were even more corpses. The bodies of hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers even piled up into a hill of death at the gate. A young and graceful girl sat on the mountain of corpses and blood with murderous intent, as if this hill of corpses was the throne of her victory and glory. A few torches danced in the evening breeze, casting her heroic shadow on the long street. This group of Yellow Turbans had apparently tried to launch a surprise attack on the armory, but she killed them all by herself. "This is Zhang Liao, sixteen years old, serving as a minor official at Yanmen. She has been a great help. If she hadn't defended the armory by herself and bought me time to strangle the Yellow Turbans in the city, I'm afraid Mayi would have fallen completely, and you wouldn't have seen me." Tuoba Yun introduced the minor official guarding the armory to Liu Zhuang. Zhang Liao? Liu Zhuang's eyes lit up. He saw that the minor official was wearing a black official robe from the Han Dynasty. The scarlet blood soaked the loose robe and stuck to her slender body, turning it into a tight black long robe. On the blood-stained body, it outlined a series of beautiful scarlet curves. The blades of the halberd and the ring-handled knife in her hands were bent by the chopping, and there were seven or eight arrows stuck in her body. She was afraid that if she pulled them out, she would not be able to stop the bleeding, so she simply left them on the wounds. Her whole body was covered with scars and was on the verge of her limit, but her young and tender body was still like a taut bowstring, ready to go. Sitting on the pile of corpses, she was ready to burst out and kill people at any time. The evening breeze blew, making her long black hair, which was stained with blood, fly in the air like a bird, revealing a youthful and beautiful face. "Back off! The door to the armory will never be opened! If you want to get in, you have to step over my dead body first!!!"
Seeing Liu Zhuang and others coming, the girl endured the fatigue and pain, suddenly stood up from the pile of corpses, clenched the halberd in her hand, and her young body burst out with incredible murderous intent. Her bloodshot eyes almost turned into two balls of burning hellfire. "Zhang Liao! Don't get excited! It's me! Tuoba Yun! I've brought reinforcements! Hurry up and open the gate, arm this army and defeat the Yellow Turbans!" Tuoba Yun hurriedly comforted the girl who was bloodthirsty. "Tuoba Yun? You know the rules. Only the Northern Di Captain has the right to open this door." After Zhang Liao found out that the person coming was Tuoba Yun, he relaxed his guard a little and sat back on the pile of corpses with a tired look on his face, but he still looked at Liu Zhuang and others with vigilance. "Besides, who are these people? Why should I believe they are reinforcements? What if you are wrong?" "Cousin? It's me! Zhang Ji!" At this moment, Zhang Ji recognized the girl on the pile of corpses and rushed out of the crowd in surprise. No wonder he didn't find her. It turned out that she was working in the most important and hidden armory. When Zhang Liao saw Zhang Ji, he was also stunned. Cousin? Why is he here? "Finally I found you. These people are refugees and fellow villagers from Dingxiang! We almost all died in Dingxiang, but fortunately Liu Zhuangtingzhang saved us all! He taught us how to fight and how to protect ourselves. When he heard about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he brought us south to support the Han Dynasty! I have guaranteed my reputation. You can trust him, and you can trust all of us!" Zhang Liao blinked in confusion, and with the joint protection of his cousin and Tuoba Yun, the murderous intent and vigilance in his body gradually dissipated. At this moment, the messenger sent by Tuoba Yun also came to the door of the armory with the magistrate of Mayi County. The magistrate looked gentle and amiable, but Liu Zhuang did not let his guard down - when he first saw him, he was in the restaurant discussing with the people of the Huang family how to divide the property of the refugees and wealthy families from Dingxiang. "Oh, Yun, you are putting me on the spot. Although I am the county magistrate, the military equipment and supplies are under the jurisdiction of Brother Jianyang, and I have no right to mobilize them..." The county magistrate tried to put the blame on Ding Yuan, but he became a little scared when he thought of the Yellow Turbans all over the mountains outside the city. "County Magistrate, His Majesty has issued an order that everyone can spend money to buy armor and crossbows. My sister has already made an engagement with Liu Zhuang. He is my brother-in-law, and his affairs are the affairs of my Lu family. How about this? I, Lu Ze, will buy the weapons here!" Lu Ze also stepped forward at the right time and bet the future of the Lu family on the chessboard. He also reacted at this moment. No wonder Liu Zhuang asked him to stockpile more food and grass. The Yellow Turban Rebellion sweeping across the empire, His Majesty's decentralization of the right to recruit soldiers, and the promised rewards according to merit after the rebellion ended, combined together, was indeed a godsend opportunity! Do you want to be a businessman for life, ranking at the bottom among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans? Or do you want to take a chance and make your entire family achieve class advancement by relying on your achievements in suppressing the Yellow Turbans? What's more, my brother-in-law had planned it in advance and even gathered a militia of 500 people three months ago. As long as the two of them get married, they will all be blood relatives. Our Lu family has seized the initiative in this chaotic world. "Okay, okay! Let's do as Brother Feng Wang said! When Ding Jianyang comes back, I will explain it to him in person! Zhang Liao, open the door! I will take care of this matter! It has nothing to do with you!" When the county magistrate heard that there was money to be made, his eyes rolled cunningly, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded in agreement. When Liu Zhuang rushed into the armory, he glanced at Zhang Liao's immature back. Zhang Babai is still only sixteen years old, an unknown minor official. If I remember correctly, she made great contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was promoted by Ding Yuan. Eventually, in the chaotic Eastern Han Dynasty, she made her way to the Temple of Martial Arts, killed Tadun Chanyu in the White Wolf Mountain Formation, and defeated Sun Quan's 100,000 troops at Xiaoyaojin. We have to find a way to get her. Tuoba Yun took inventory of the weapons in the Beidi camp's warehouse. There were so many weapons that there was no time to count them, so everyone rushed directly to the place where the armor was stored. After a careful count, they found that there were a total of 4 sets of armor, of which 2 were double-crotch armor that could only protect the torso, with + armor defense, and ordinary iron helmets, that is, helmets, with + armor defense. In addition, there are eighty sets of black armor, which are based on the two-crotch armor, with additional sleeve armor for shoulder and thigh defense, with a defense of +6. Although the iron helmet is also an ordinary item with +2 defense, it is additionally decorated with pheasant feathers to distinguish the identities of soldiers and officers. There was a sergeant for every five men in the Han army, and twenty officers for every hundred men. Among the four hundred sets of armor, there were eighty sets of tube-sleeved armor, which were just enough to arm four garrisons of soldiers and horses, and to distinguish between officers such as sergeants, squad leaders, team leaders, and garrison leaders and ordinary soldiers. "One garrison! Two garrisons! Three garrisons! Soldiers from the cavalry, the Tuoba tribe, come and put on your armor! Soldiers wear armor with two crotches, and those with the rank of sergeant and above wear armor with sleeves to distinguish their identities! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Liu Zhuang immediately gave orders, and under Tuoba Yun's care, he clumsily put on a set of tube-sleeved armor that only officers were qualified to wear. The hardness of the black iron made him feel at ease, and his defense was directly increased to 5 with the help of the 8 points of perception of his double pupils and the 13 points of defense of the armor. His own cavalrymen and the men of the Tuoba tribe also had a set of black armor and became the most basic heavy cavalry. After putting on the armor, Liu Zhuang did not even look at other weapons. He ordered the 300 infantrymen, except the cavalry, archers, and swordsmen and shieldmen, to all take a crossbow and a bag of crossbow arrows, and then rushed out of the armory in a mighty manner to fight against the Yellow Turbans.
It is difficult for cavalrymen to pull heavy crossbows on horseback, archers have long-range weapons, and the shield of the sword and shield soldier must not only protect himself, but also protect all the soldiers in a squad. It cannot be easily dropped from his hand, otherwise he will be at a disadvantage when the two sides shoot crossbows at each other. Liu Zhuang asked each of the 100 sword and shield soldiers to hold five javelins about one meter long as their long-range throwing weapons. In long-range combat, they can use shields for defense and javelins for throwing. In close combat, they can switch the javelin back to the ring-handled sword. The shield is always there. Four hundred sets of armor, three hundred sets of bows and crossbows, and five hundred javelins were a astronomical price. The Lu family's cash was not enough to buy so many things. They had to sell a lot of their property to pay the county magistrate. But Lu Ze didn't care at the moment. The fire of ambition burning in his eyes was no less than that of his sister Lu Bu. In this chaotic world, what's the point of having money? Are you waiting for the Yellow Turban bandits to rob you of everything? If Liu Zhuang didn't have more soldiers, he would have wanted to buy the entire armory. What's the old saying? Is poker a kind of wisdom? No, it's ten times the profit of farming, a hundred times the profit of pearls and jade, and countless benefits of supporting kings, princes, generals and ministers! Chapter 35: The Bond of Blood At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army was also extremely confused. What was going on? The 800 men in the North Camp were defeated. After gathering the remnants, only one out of ten of the 800 men survived. The remaining men were unknown whether they were dead or had escaped. The remaining soldiers said that the North Di Camp had fought back? That was impossible? We deployed a large number of sentries in the direction of Yinguan. Did Ding Yuan really fall into the trap and rush to Yinguan to help? So where did these soldiers come from??? Before the three Yellow Turban generals from the East, South and West Camps of Mayi could react to what was happening, the deafening drums of war resounded through the sky once again. After rushing into the city, Liu Zhuang's Baima Pavilion soldiers completed arming themselves with armor in just one hour, had a meal to replenish their strength, and learned how to use crossbows and javelins. At this moment, they were about to leave the city to fight a second battle against the Yellow Turbans. The difference between the crossbow and the bow is very obvious. The bowstring can only be pulled open with the muscles of the arms and back. Therefore, the bow power of the Han army is generally between one and two stones, which is 60 to 120 pounds. Lu Bu can use a three-stone bow and 180 pounds of force to shoot arrows on the battlefield. He has been regarded by his colleagues as the reincarnation of the Flying General. However, the bow's advantage is its extremely fast shooting speed. After ordinary people have learned to shoot quickly, they can reach the level of one arrow per second in a short period of time. The shooting speed of people like Lu Bu even exceeds that of a bolt-action rifle. The crossbow is different. After stepping on the crossbow arm with both feet, the soldier can bend down and pull the string with both hands, using his hands, waist, and even the whole body strength to pull the crossbow string. This also causes the Han army's crossbow to have a higher pulling force than the bow, often between two and six stones, which is an astonishing 120 to 360 pounds. The most terrifying chariot crossbow, the Dahuang crossbow, can even reach the level of ten or twelve stones. Moreover, once the crossbow string is fully drawn and stuck on a device called "tooth", you no longer need to continue exerting force to maintain the full string state. You can easily aim at the enemy with the mountain sight, and then pull the trigger to fire the crossbow string stuck on the tooth, allowing it to shoot the crossbow arrow in the groove to kill the enemy. Therefore, although the crossbow's stringing speed is very slow and cannot be fired quickly, its accuracy and power are higher. Seeing that everyone was fully armed, Liu Zhuang ordered two hundred infantrymen to stay in the city to take care of everyone's families and baggage, and then led three garrisons of armored soldiers and one hundred heavily armored cavalrymen to charge out of the east gate and attack the Yellow Turban bandits' camp! He did not give the Yellow Turban army a chance to react. At this moment, hearing that Liu Zhuang was going out to fight, some Confucian scholars from the noble families of Mayi also came to help. The two armies had not yet deployed, but those Confucian scholars with long sleeves were either chanting Confucian classics or praying for blessings from Confucius and Mencius on the top of the city. Nine flaming fireballs, like nine burning suns, rose slowly from the city wall, illuminating the entire dark night sky like daylight. As the Yellow Turbans watched in amazement, nine burning suns swooped down with a scream, exploding into clusters of brilliant and beautiful flaming fireworks in the Yellow Turbans' camp one after another! The shockwaves of the explosions carried arcane flames and splashed in all directions, igniting everything, burning everything, and destroying everything! The Yellow Turban Army in Dongying was blinded by Confucianism, and then found that a large number of armored soldiers were lined up in neat rows and charging towards them amid earth-shaking roars. Three hundred armored soldiers fiddled with the crossbows they had just received and began to shoot at the chaotic Yellow Turban camp. Although they had no crossbow training and their hit rate was not high, the people who had just gathered by the Yellow Turbans were even less well trained. Along with the deafening sound of crossbow strings, thick crossbow arrows flew around the camp like a swarm of locusts, whistling and tearing clothes, piercing flesh and blood, and killing the Yellow Turban soldiers running in the camp one by one. Several Yellow Turban soldiers gathered together and were immediately attacked by everyone's concentrated fire. The crossbow arrows whistled and tore through the night sky, hitting people's bodies and creating fleeting bloody flowers. After four rounds of crossbow shooting, Liu Zhuang gave an order and three hundred armored soldiers put away their crossbows, brandished their weapons, and marched forward under the cover of rain of arrows from sixty archers, rushing into the Yellow Turban Army's camp which had no walls at all. In ancient times, a soldier wearing armor was an invulnerable Terminator. There was a huge gap between being armed and unarmored, and there was an abyss between being without armor and being armored. The feather arrows shot by these Yellow Turban militiamen could not penetrate the Han army's black iron armor. The sharp arrowheads could only make a dent in the black armor at most, and they suffered heavy casualties from the rain of arrows from the White Horse militiamen. Once engaged in close combat, the scene turned into a one-sided massacre. The sword and shield soldiers in the first row suddenly threw out javelins like a string of candied haws. One spear could pierce through several soldiers who were not wearing armor, making the Yellow Turban Army fall down like weeds. Some of the stronger ones could even pierce people away with one spear, causing them to crash down on a group of soldiers. While the Yellow Turban Army's formation was disrupted by crossbows and scattered by bows and javelins, the three hundred armored soldiers rushed forward, like a torrent of black armor sweeping across heaven and earth, causing the Yellow Turban Army to stagger and fall apart. It was extremely difficult for spears and swords to break through the protection of the double-leg armor. They could only cut out a series of sharp sparks on the armor with the sound of metallic clanging. Even if they hit the arms and thighs that were not protected by the double-leg armor, they could only injure the enemy but could not kill him with one blow. If you are unlucky and meet a sergeant or squad leader wearing tube-sleeved armor, it will be a luxury to even scratch their arms or thighs. No matter how hard you fight, you will not be able to break their defense and can only face death under the butcher's knife in despair. On the other hand, the soldiers of the White Horse Camp bashed their shields and flew their swords, causing the Yellow Turban front to be tottered; they swept their halberds and stabbed their spears, knocking the unarmored Yellow Turban soldiers to the ground and piercing their chests. They cooperated closely, even without armor. They had trained hard for a whole winter, and with the guidance of the instructors and weapons provided by the Northern Di Camp, they had much more combat experience than these refugees, not to mention that they had obtained armor an hour ago. The two sides fought for less than an hour when the three hundred soldiers used the most domineering methods to gradually defeat the scattered Yellow Turban Army from the front. At this moment, Liu Zhuang and Tuoba Yun also led two cavalry units of fifty people and completed the encirclement of the Yellow Turban East Camp from the side. Liu Zhuang led fifty heavily armored cavalrymen to launch a devastating cavalry charge, breaking through the entire chaotic Yellow Turban camp from the side. A large number of soldiers on the front could not even withstand the assault of three hundred armored soldiers, so they had no time to intercept the cavalry on the flanks and were killed like a fish in water.
Tuoba Yun's fifty men were natural horse archers. They first fired rockets soaked in kerosene in all directions, created panic with a rain of arrows, and disrupted the enemy formation with flames and smoke. Then, everyone switched their longbows to lances and launched a second round of devastating cavalry charge! At this moment, the front of the entire Yellow Turban East Camp was crushed by three hundred armored soldiers, and the side was pierced by two cavalry units, and the entire camp was torn to pieces. During this period, the Confucian scholars of Mayi had been providing Confucian support, not only long-range bombing, but also transformation and amplification, making the height of the squad leaders and sergeants doubled, and their weight increased eightfold, turning into giants over three meters tall, wielding these large weapons and fighting wildly in the crowd! The long swords that had also grown larger could even cut an ordinary person in half with a sweep, and this terrifying scene scared the others and made them scream. Barely an hour after the battle began, the Yellow Turban Army in Dongying was in chaos in the darkness and completely collapsed. Many of them fell to their knees and begged for surrender. After killing two enemies in one night and defeating half of the Yellow Turban Army, the White Horse militia were exhausted. They had no training in armor-piercing combat and were breathless under the several kilograms or even dozens of kilograms of iron armor on their bodies. They could not fight anymore and could only decompress the prisoners and return to Mayi to rest. When the next day dawned, the Yellow Turbans from the south and west camps fled at night, leaving many things behind in the camp. A large number of footprints and wheel tracks stretched to the farmland in the south. Although I don't know what happened, according to the report from the escapees from the east camp, a group of armored soldiers and heavy cavalry rushed into the camp? There's no way to fight this, so they just ran away. Looking at the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, the officials and nobles of Mayi surrounded Liu Zhuang and his soldiers, cheering for the victory. Liu Zhuang was not idle either. On the one hand, he distributed the spoils, gave money to the soldiers, fulfilled his promise, and boosted the militia's fighting effectiveness. On the other hand, he assisted Tuoba Yun and others to restore order in Mayi. After finishing these things, there was still one most important thing waiting for him to solve. "Liu Zhuang, I already know what you have been planning for the past few months. No problem, my Lu family fully supports you! I will sell all my property now and make a bet with you in this chaotic world!" "But now, we must go to Yinguan immediately to bring Fengxian back, and also bring back the two hundred Xianbei troops that Tuoba Yun joined the Beidi Camp!" Lu Ze wiped the blood off his face and looked at Liu Zhuang and Tuoba Yun with an extremely serious expression. "My sister is extremely brave, but she is too naive and her mind is a little slow. She ambitiously went to show off her martial arts in front of the governor of Yanmen and the captain of Beidi. I really couldn't persuade her. With her brain, she still wanted to fight with the captain and governor? I'm afraid she would be sold out and count money for them. But now it's different. With the emperor's decree, your troops, and the joining of Tuoba Xianbei, she doesn't need to be the head of Beidi and suffer the anger of the migratory birds! We must immediately pull her and Yun's Xianbei tribe back from the Beidi camp! Then the three of you will get married in Mayi, according to the old schedule, and it can't be postponed! In this chaotic world, only the bond of blood is thicker than water, which can truly connect us together."
Chapter 36: Hellish Nightmare On February 10, Liu Zhuang handed over his troops to his brother-in-law, including his subordinates Zhang Ji, Zheng Jiang, and Lu Ze. He and Tuoba Yun personally led dozens of horses and rushed towards Yinguan to find Lu Bu, and brought back all the 200 young men from the Xianbei headquarters. At this moment, at the foot of Yinguan City, Ding Yuan, the commander of the Northern Di army, had already brought his entire battalion of soldiers to the seat of Yanmen County: Yinguan. The Yellow Turban Army that besieged Yinguan was obviously an elite force, and there was a huge gap between them and the Yellow Turban Army that attacked Mayi. There were even many old Han soldiers who were extorted of their retirement money and land after retirement and could not survive. The commanders leading this army were two Huangtian's Thunder Warriors. They were both two meters four tall. After putting on armor, they were like a pair of steel pagodas, standing in the vast ocean where the Yellow Turbans were fluttering. However, this elite Yellow Turban army also did not have any siege equipment and could only defend the city from outside. Once the internal support in the city failed and they were unable to support the army to open the city gates, these people would be like the Yellow Turban Army that attacked Mayi. They would have no way to deal with the towering city walls and could only defend outside the walls until the enemy ran out of ammunition and food. "Da da da." Accompanied by the crisp sound of horse hooves, a majestic Han general, holding a long spear, riding a nightmare on his hip, and full of murderous intent, appeared at the edge of the battlefield. His burly body was covered from inside to outside with chain mail, sleeve armor, and an extra-large double-crotch armor on his chest. The triple iron armor made his already extremely tall body even more terrifying, towering and huge like a pagoda. The pheasant feathers on his helmet were also painted a bright and eye-catching red. His resolute and courageous face was full of scars and glory left by time and war. The nightmare horse under his crotch was no ordinary creature either: the monster looked like a tall horse with a pitch-black body, but its mane and tail were burning with the flames of hell; not only that, its four pitch-black hooves were burning with flaming flames, leaving a series of burning hoof prints on the ground every time it galloped, and with every breath, its wide nostrils would spew out two clouds of black sulfur mist that blocked out the sky and the sun. Its pair of piercing demonic eyes were like two stars that would never go out, flashing a dazzling halo in the darkness that made it impossible to look directly at. The Northern Di commanders: Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang. Ding Yuan personally led his troops to investigate the deployment of the Yellow Turban Army. The veteran who had fought on the front lines for half his life immediately discovered three weaknesses of the enemy. First of all, although the number of these Yellow Turban Army was large, most of them were refugees with almost no training. Only a few hundred elite soldiers could barely be considered soldiers. Secondly, the Yellow Turban bandits had no cavalry. Also, how could a group of refugees afford to keep horses?
Finally, they were extremely short of weapons, especially long-range projectile weapons. Not to mention bows and crossbows, many refugees used hoes and sickles, or simply sharpened sticks. Although his own Beidi Camp had only more than a thousand people, they were all a pure cavalry corps composed of Xianbei troops, Southern Xiongnu greenskins, various Hu nomads, and Han cavalry generals. "Troops! Do you see that big flag?" Ding Yuan raised his whip high and aimed it at the center of the Yellow Turban camp, where there was a large banner with the words "Huang Tian Dang Li" written on it.
