Guo Dazhuang, with a panicked expression on his face, ran towards them, his voice reaching them before he did!
“Big Brother, this is bad!”
“The Han Army is here!”
Wang Shou trembled upon hearing this, feeling both fear and anger. How could the Han Army have been drawn to this remote place?
When Guo Dazhuang arrived, his face was filled with panic, and he said with a trembling voice!
“Big Brother, let’s run quickly!”
“The soldiers in the army heard about the arrival of the Han Army and fled in terror, not daring to resist at all. The entire army was in chaos.”
“The Han Army is slaughtering us like chickens and dogs. If we don’t escape while it’s chaotic, we’ll be captured by the Han Army, and our lives will be forfeit.”
Wang Shou was startled by these words, fear showing in his eyes, and he quickly said!
“Third Brother, let’s escape now!”
So, the two of them, along with their trusted subordinates, began to take advantage of the chaos, preparing to escape to the west.
Just as they arrived, they saw the surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers fleeing in disarray.
Under the illumination of the firelight, a red-faced man in front was leading several hundred Han Army soldiers, sweeping towards them like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves.
He chopped down and killed anyone he saw, displaying an unstoppable momentum that terrified the Yellow Turban soldiers into fleeing.
When Wang Shou and Guo Dazhuang clearly saw the appearance of the leader, their hearts jolted, and they exchanged glances, both feeling it was unbelievable.
It was the same red-faced man who had charged into their mountain stronghold earlier. His presence here meant that Liu Jin was also here.
After realizing this, both felt as if they had been struck by lightning, never expecting to meet again in such a narrow path.
They had thought that with three thousand soldiers, they could easily eliminate Liu Jin, but they never expected to be ambushed and routed now.
Wang Shou said to Guo Dazhuang beside him, his voice trembling!
“Since this place won’t work, let’s find another place to escape. We can’t let them catch us.”
At this moment, Guan Yu, through the firelight, saw the group of people before him.
What surprised him was that the two leaders were familiar faces.
He quickly recalled that these two were the two bandit leaders from Juxian Village.
Guan Yu’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce glint appeared in them.
To meet them here! He hadn't expected these mountain bandits to have joined the Yellow Turban, and judging by their attire, their status wasn't low.
Without any further words, he gripped his blood-stained blade and charged forward.
Guan Yu, who was in pursuit, shouted coldly!
“Bandits, don’t run!”
Wang Shou and Guo Dazhuang, who were already fleeing, trembled in their hearts upon hearing this angry roar. They turned back and saw Guan Yu charging towards them, wielding a large saber.
Several bandits beside them, without any reaction, were cut down by the large saber, their bodies falling without any support.
Blood splattered all around. Wang Shou and Guo Dazhuang felt the hot blood on their faces, their eyes wide with terror.
Their hearts were filled with fear, and their legs began to tremble.
Guan Yu, wielding his large saber, did not stop but continued to kill the several people around him, cutting through the crowd as if slicing melons and vegetables.
In just a few breaths, the several bandits beside them were all killed on the spot.
Wang Shou and Guo Dazhuang watched as their trusted subordinates were cut down, and they took to their heels, fleeing backward.
They had no courage to fight against the red-faced man before them. Back then, he alone, with just a dozen men, could contend against their hundred-plus men from the stronghold.
After cutting down these disorganized bandits, Guan Yu looked at the two men before him, who still intended to escape, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
His blood-stained large saber swept towards Guo Dazhuang, who was running slower.
A scream of agony!
Guo Dazhuang was cut in half at the waist by the sharp blade from behind. His eyes were filled with pain, his face deathly pale, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
He limply collapsed, trembling only a few times before all life left him.
Wang Shou heard the scream, turned back, and saw his Third Brother cut down. His legs gave way in fright, and he fell forward onto the ground.
An “ouch” sound came as his cheek made intimate contact with the mud.
He tried to get up, trembling, but fear lingered in his heart, causing him to try several times without being able to stand.
Guan Yu, holding his large saber high, was about to bring it down, intending to end this man’s life.
Wang Shou could no longer bear it, tears welling in his eyes, and he pleaded!
“Ge-General, I am the leader of this Yellow Turban, and I am willing to surrender!”
Guan Yu paused his large saber upon hearing this, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This bandit leader had now become a Yellow Turban leader; the speed of this transformation was indeed a bit fast.
He suppressed the killing intent in his heart, intending to hand this leader over to his Big Brother to handle.
He immediately ordered the soldiers behind him!
“Someone, tie this bandit up!”
Soon, several soldiers bound Wang Shou, tying him up like a zongzi.
After dealing with the matter, Guan Yu, wielding his large saber, led the soldiers behind him to kill in the surrounding areas.
He also loudly shouted!
“The Yellow Turban leader has been captured! Those who surrender will be spared, those who resist will be killed without mercy!”
These Yellow Turban, already terrified at the sight of the Han Army charging in, now heard that their leader had been captured. They had no thought of resisting and knelt to beg for mercy.
Many even held a glimmer of hope, wanting to escape amidst the chaos, but they never expected that the Han Army had surrounded them from all directions.
They couldn’t break out of the encirclement and could only throw down their weapons and surrender.
Soon, the sounds of fighting throughout Li Family Village gradually diminished.
The Han Army was capturing these prisoners, all of whom were being held.
Liu Jin looked at the Yellow Turban corpses in the village, lying along the sides of the houses, dismembered, bloody, and felt no pity.
When these bandits massacred the villagers, they should have considered that this day would eventually come upon them.
Just then, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Han Dang, and others, surrounded by soldiers, came towards them, cupped their fists, and greeted them!
“Big Brother, Big Brother, Ming Gong!”
Liu Jin nodded slightly, looking at his capable generals before him, and asked softly!
“Yun Chang, Yide, Yi Gong, are you not injured?”
The three all smiled and shook their heads. These Yellow Turban, upon seeing them, fled in terror and could not cause them any harm.
Guan Yu stepped forward and said!
“Big Brother, I just captured this Yellow Turban General.”
“It’s even an old acquaintance of ours.”
Liu Jin was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He didn't seem to have many acquaintances, and he asked in confusion!
“Who?”
Guan Yu waved his hand, and several soldiers beside him brought a middle-aged man towards them, directly kicking him to the ground.
The man’s face was panicked. Looking at the young man at the head, he naturally knew that this person was Liu Jin, and he trembled all over, showing a pleading expression.
