Chapter 189: Encounter in the Wilderness
"Young Master, there is a team of people ahead, about a thousand people, and it seems to be chasing a carriage."
In Yingchuan, Yuzhou, Su Fan brought more than a hundred personal guards and walked on the official road. Several scouts rode fierce horses and ran back from afar to report.
"It seems that this Yingchuan Commandery is also having a hard time."
Su Fan murmured.
In April of the first year of Zhongping, he took down Peng Fei's army, gathered a batch of Yellow Turban soldiers and civilians, and later gathered a batch of refugees and settled them.
At the end of June, Su Fan left his territory with a team of people.
That side is now on the right track. The fields are still being opened up, grain can be harvested in less than a month, the number of sea ships is constantly increasing, and sea fish are also constantly increasing.
With two million more people, Su Fan is not worried.
Instead, he now has time to come out and see other places.
Especially here in Yingchuan, the news he heard is that the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan and the government's army are temporarily in a stalemate. The government relies on the big city of Yingchuan Yangzhai, and the Yellow Turbans are very difficult to break the city.
After all, the imperial guards of the government are still very elite.
It's just that the number is smaller than the Yellow Turban Army. In the field battle, for the imperial guards, it is still at a disadvantage, because as long as he doesn't kill the high-level members of the Yellow Turban Army like Bo Cai, they can soon pull out an army again.
And the imperial guards, the Divine Han Dynasty cannot be pulled out casually. These are the foundation of the Liu family.
Consuming one, there will be one less.
This great battle is destined not to end so quickly. In the historical romance space, Bo Cai's army was defeated by Huangfu Song using fire tactics.
Soldiers have no constant situation, water has no constant shape.
Flooding and fire are the most terrifying way of attack on the battlefield.
And once cast, it is extremely fierce.
But in this world, wanting to use fire to eliminate Bo Cai is not that easy. Soul Dao literati, especially the Soul-Refining literati under Zhang Jiao, can all cast the art of summoning wind and rain.
No matter how big your fire is, he can eliminate it.
Of course, the fire-type spells in this world are not weak either, especially the Liu family's Red Emperor Cloud Scripture, which is quite terrifying.
In the past, Emperor Guangwu's move of Heaven Fire Meteor Technique collapsed the millions of elite soldiers of Wang Mang in one fell swoop.
Only then did it lay the foundation for victory, and this led to the situation of the Divine Han for two thousand years. Otherwise, perhaps the Divine Han might only have a history of two thousand years.
Of course, this move is also the most top-tier divine ability, and it cannot be cast without a Yin Spirit True Person.
At that time, Emperor Guangwu's Soul Dao cultivation had reached the peak of the Yin Spirit, but casting this divine ability also caused his soul to be damaged and his lifespan to be reduced. Otherwise, with the cultivation of the Yin Spirit, he could live at least three hundred years or more.
However, in fact, Emperor Guangwu only lived to be over a hundred years old and died.
These, the Gao clan has records.
The Liu family can suppress the aristocratic clans in the world because of this top-tier cultivation method. Even if they cultivate to the Soul-Refining Grandmaster, relying on this divine ability, at the cost of their own life, they can threaten the Yin Spirit True Person.
The Liu family must have experts, but Su Fan feels that these trump cards will probably go to kill Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao is the biggest boss.
Yingchuan Commandery here, in historical romance, it relies on Huangfu Song, but in this world, Su Fan doubts whether they can defeat Bo Cai.
As long as Bo Cai stabilizes, it is really difficult to have a chance.
Su Fan came to Yingchuan Commandery this time, actually wanting to see what direction this great battle will take, and such a great battle is indeed not to be missed.
He didn't dare to go to Jizhou, and Yingchuan is just right.
In one month, Su Fan and others came to Yingchuan Commandery of Yuzhou from the coast of Donghai.
The world is too big. The straight-line distance is estimated to be ten thousand li. If it were in the later life, the plane might only need one day.
But in this world, if flying, Su Fan might only need a few days.
On land, riding a fierce horse, the speed is much slower.
Besides, Su Fan and others are not on their way. Every time they pass a city, he will stop and observe.
In one month, Su Fan passed more than ten county towns, most of which were broken by the Yellow Turban Army, leaving behind devastation.
The Yellow Turban Army is like locusts, and the destruction to the local area is quite large, especially the manors and docks established by local powerful clans outside the city, almost one in ten survived.
Although the defense of the dock is very strong, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army still cannot block it. Many tall commandery and county cities cannot block it, let alone the dock.
The Guangling Gao clan, because of Su Fan's reminder, Guangling Commandery had long made preparations, and among the Gao clan, there were two Gang-Refining martial artists, plus a batch of elite soldiers trained before.
Coupled with the commandery soldiers, small groups of Yellow Turban Army were directly defeated.
Guangling itself is not a big commandery, so naturally no large-scale Yellow Turban Army visited.
But Yuzhou here is much more miserable. On the official road, there are white bones everywhere.
"White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no cock crowing for a thousand li."
Su Fan sighed, and then his face turned cold.
"Go and take down that branch of Yellow Turbans, and save that carriage by the way."
"Yes, Young Master."
Gao Niu took fifty people and immediately galloped.
"Kill!"
The Yellow Turban Army over there soon saw Gao Niu and a group of knights, and their faces were stunned at first.
"It's the imperial army."
The Yellow Turban's small leader showed a bit of greed on his face.
"They only have fifty people, kill them and grab their warhorses."
The warhorses Gao Niu and the others were sitting on are excellent warhorses even on the grassland.
"Haha! Good coming."
Gao Niu's face also showed a smile, and he didn't run away but chased after them.
"Kill!"
Rumbling!
Fifty iron cavalry, led by Gao Niu, a great expert at the ninth level of Qi-Refining, charged the formation directly.
"Not good!"
The moment he fought with Gao Niu, his face changed wildly. The Yellow Turban's small leader was a martial artist at the fourth level of Qi-Refining. Facing Gao Niu's casual blow, he was shocked and flew away, falling directly.
Fifty iron cavalry, like entering no man's land, the thousand-man Yellow Turban was scattered in the blink of an eye.
This branch of Yellow Turbans is considered elite, and they have leather armor and weapons, but facing Gao Niu and the others, it is simply a mantis blocking the car.
In less than a stick of incense, except for a few who escaped, the remaining thousand people all became the souls under the knives of Su Fan's personal guards.
"Underneath, Xizhong, Xi Zhicai, thank you for the life-saving grace of this Young Master."
After Gao Niu dealt with those Yellow Turban soldiers, Su Fan also came up. On the other side of the carriage, a young man with a pale face also walked out.
"Xi Zhicai?"
Su Fan was stunned at first, but soon recovered, and his heart was indeed a little happy. ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
Su Fan was stunned at first, but he quickly recovered, feeling genuinely happy in his heart.
