Chapter 165: Yellow Turban Dual Imperial Stars

And as the Imperial Star Zhang Tianxuan was taken as a personal disciple by Zhang Jue, the situation on the Lu Prefecture battlefield became increasingly complex.

The rise of this newly promoted Imperial Star broke the original orthodox pattern of Zhu Yuanzhang within the Yellow Turban Army.

Their open and covert struggle became an undercurrent on the battlefield.

Zhang Tianxuan, young and vigorous, ambitious, after being taken as a personal disciple by Zhang Jue, became even more like a fish in water, his strength greatly increased.

Having deeply inherited Zhang Jue's true teachings, he mastered many mysterious Daoist and Yin-Yang internal energy techniques.

Furthermore, ambitious, he aspired to stand out on the Lu Prefecture battlefield and prove his strength.

With the force of thunder, he repeatedly crushed small units of the Da Qian dynasty, causing considerable trouble for the Qian army opposite.

Zhang Tianxuan's bravery and strategy enabled him to quickly gather a large number of loyal followers, forming a force not to be underestimated.

Moreover, there were also several childhood friends who had relied on each other since before he became Zhang Jue's disciple, as well as Zhang Tianxuan's own younger brother.

After receiving resource injections from the Yellow Turban Army.

He also began to demonstrate his extraordinariness one by one.

Originally, in his future trajectory, these several childhood friends of his were important backers of this Da Qian Imperial Star.

In the future, several who followed the weakened Da Qian hammer.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, as an already renowned Imperial Star, would naturally not easily relinquish his authority.

He is old, cunning, and deep-thinking, and under his command he also has Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and others.

Moreover, just like Zhang Tianxuan, he also has a group of childhood friends.

Ferocious generals abound, and their strength is not to be underestimated.

Relying on rich combat experience and deep foundations, he advances steadily, step by step, establishing camps.

Furthermore, he is skilled at employing strategies to win over people's hearts.

Soon they formed a situation of standing in opposition to each other, each holding their own court.

The two Imperial Stars on the Lu Prefecture battlefield engaged in open and covert struggle, giving and taking, neither yielding.

Each leading their own forces, they launched one thrilling contest after another on the battlefield.

Zhang Tianxuan, young and vigorous, with a fierce offensive, often could unleash astonishing combat power at critical moments.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, old and shrewd yet steady, skilled at seizing battle opportunities, could always deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at critical moments.

Their struggle, beginning as a surging undercurrent, gradually evolved into an open clash of weapons.

Zhang Tianxuan repeatedly, relying on the advantage of Daoist and Yin-Yang techniques, often created chaos on the battlefield.

Zhu Yuanzhang, however, remained steady, responding to all changes with constancy, relying on rich combat experience and excellent command ability to resolve one crisis after another.

In this open and covert struggle, neither side willing to show weakness, they began to form factions and expand their forces.

Zhang Tianxuan, relying on Zhang Jue's prestige and the advantage of his techniques, attracted many vigorous young soldiers and extraordinary talents.

Furthermore, he formed a powerful new force with several childhood friends as its core.

On the battlefield he commanded the winds and clouds, bringing considerable pressure to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, meanwhile, placed even greater emphasis on the loyalty and strength of his troops.

He, through Chang Yuchun and others, after rigorous selection and training, forged an elite army—the Hongwu Ming Army!

He also established the Five Divisions Vanguard, including the Yellow Banner Vanguard, the Great Unit Vanguard, the Iron Armored Vanguard, and the Spear Vanguard, etc.

These vanguard units are all elite forces directly under his command.

On the battlefield they advanced fearlessly, becoming Zhu Yuanzhang's strongest backing.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang is skilled at befriending all kinds of heroes, through alliances and other means consolidating and expanding his sphere of influence.

As time passed, the struggle between the two sides became increasingly intense.

On the Lu Prefecture battlefield, blades flashed and arrows flew everywhere.

The figures of Zhang Tianxuan and Zhu Yuanzhang often appeared in the most intense places of battle.

Sometimes they even personally commanded their troops to charge into battle.

This made Meng Zhang, who is responsible for the Lu Prefecture battlefield, much more at ease.

They not only have to defeat the enemy on the battlefield.

But also have to deal with various complex political struggles and changes in people's hearts behind the scenes.

As time passed, the situation on the Lu Prefecture battlefield became increasingly tense.

On the Lu Prefecture battlefield, clouds shifted and smoke filled the air.

The Yellow Turban Army and the Da Qian dynasty's armies launched fierce clashes here.

The commanders of both sides went back and forth on the battlefield, matching wits and courage.

Now the Yellow Turban Army faces a joint offensive by the newly arrived Commander-in-Chief of the Da Qian dynasty, Yin Yuanxun, and the Grand General Who Destroyed the Nation, Qiu Longteng.

Yin Yuanxun, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Da Qian dynasty on the Lu Prefecture battlefield.

Versed in military tactics, experienced in deploying troops, skilled at using various strategies to strike the enemy.

He is an elder whose prestige in the Da Qian dynasty's military is second only to that of Gu Changqing, the Pillar of the State.

He deeply knows that the Yellow Turban Army's flank is a weak point.

After his prolonged research.

Currently, the Lu Prefecture Yellow Turban Army, in terms of commander-in-chief, can rely on only Meng Zhang holding the front line.

The rest are nothing but trash.

As for mid-level commanders-in-chief and colonels, the number of top-tier commanders-in-chief is far inferior to that of the Da Qian.

Therefore, Yin Yuanxun repeatedly dispatched elite units to bypass the Yellow Turban Army's front line and strike at the flank, hoping to break through the Yellow Turban Army's defenses in one fell swoop.

And Qiu Longteng, this Grand General Who Destroyed the Nation of the Da Qian dynasty, is even more skilled at using heavy weapons and cavalry to assault enemy positions.

But previously he served as the General-in-Chief of the Da Qian on the Lu Prefecture battlefield.

Facing Meng Zhang, this great demon king.

Sweat-soaked back.

Where is there time to do what I'm best at?

Now that Yin Yuanxun, this army veteran, has taken over command.

The great general who conquers nations, now that he has freed his hands, finally begins to show his prowess.

Using cavalry, he moves freely within the Yellow Turban army.

The Yellow Turban army's foundation is still shallow; originally, in cavalry, they were being thrashed by the Da Qian dynasty.

Moreover, there's no need to say that this great general personally takes command.

His presence puts great pressure on the Yellow Turban army.

Qiu Longteng and Yin Yuanxun cooperate tacitly, repeatedly breaking through the Yellow Turban army's flanks.

Each breakthrough plunges the Yellow Turban army into great passivity.

Although Meng Zhang's use of troops is divine, but facing the combined attack of Yin Yuanxun and Qiu Longteng.

In a situation where one person holds him back with a mission, another person frantically flies a kite looking for an opportunity.

Also feeling somewhat speechless.

However, the Yellow Turban army was not completely broken through.

Whenever the flank is breached, Zhu Yuanzhang brings his subordinates like Chang Yuchun forward in time.

Although the troops directly under Zhu Yuanzhang and others are still few, after careful training by Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun, each is a brave and skilled warrior.

Under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun, the Yellow Turban army's flank quickly steadies its stance and engages in a death struggle with the Da Qian dynasty.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang is good at observing battlefield conditions and always makes correct decisions at critical moments.

Whenever the flank is in urgent need, he can quickly mobilize troops for reinforcement.

Furthermore, Chang Yuchun and his father Chang Mao by his side are extraordinarily brave, wielding long spears, leading the troops, charging into battle.

However, despite Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun et al. giving their all, they still cannot fully make up for the troop shortage.

The Da Qian dynasty's cavalry used for harassment is numerous and well-equipped.

Relying on their numerical and equipment advantages, they continually launch fierce attacks on the Yellow Turban army's flanks.

Although the Yellow Turban army's flanks bravely resist, they still suffer heavy casualties, and the situation is precarious.

But under the Yellow Turban army's tenacious resistance despite insufficient casualties.

still stubbornly blocked the Da Qian dynasty's army's advance.

preventing it from ever fully breaking through the Yellow Turban army's flank defense.
