Chapter 190

He didn't know how much time had passed.

A portion of the ominous aura on Zhang Jiao gradually transferred to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

After it ended, the three of them discussed something together.

"Big Brother, Yecheng is now surrounded by foreign lords attracted by the 'Yellow Heaven' Great Art you released!"

"They have blocked the entire area of more than ten miles around Yecheng!"

"Any foreign lord who chooses to join the Han faction or Han government troops coming to support will be surrounded and killed at the periphery when they get close!"

"In this way, our only remaining enemy is Lu Zhi and the others in Yecheng!"

"Although Lu Zhi and the others have the very formidable Five Schools Camp, and Yecheng guarded by them is difficult for us to break through in a short time."

"But we have the advantage in numbers; as long as we continuously consume the Han army's defensive strength in Yecheng, and the Han army has no reinforcements, we will definitely be able to take Yecheng and lay the foundation for overthrowing the Han court!"

Steadying his mind, Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, analyzing the current situation, full of confidence in the Battle of Yecheng.

After all, there were millions of foreign lords outside, along with the tens of millions of units they led, blocking the entire Yecheng battlefield.

Leaving Yecheng in a state of isolation and helplessness.

Under such circumstances, no matter how strong the defensive forces in Yecheng were, they would slowly be worn away as time passed.

Unless the Han army could have reinforcements appear, break through the blockade of tens of millions outside, forcefully enter Yecheng, and boost the morale of the Han army in Yecheng, perhaps there would still be a chance for a comeback.

But could such a situation possibly occur?

That was a blockade formed by tens of millions of people, not tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands, not millions!

Facing so many enemies, even a peerless general could not break through the encirclement and kill their way into Yecheng.

Zhang Jiao also nodded; he didn't hesitate to risk the backlash of the demonic book to cast the 'Yellow Heaven' Great Art, and his original purpose was just this.

Utilizing the massive base of foreign lords who had come to this world to help them achieve their ultimate goal of breaking Yecheng and overthrowing the Han court.

Just at this moment, however, Zhang Bao frowned slightly.

Because two figures and one unit appeared in his mind involuntarily.

Yet at this moment, a Yellow Turban scout suddenly ran into the encampment.

"Report! General of Heaven, General of Earth, General of People!"

"A foreign lord who joined the Han faction is leading a cavalry unit of two thousand men, forcefully charging the blockade line formed by the foreign lords who joined us on the periphery!"

Originally, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang didn't take this news seriously.

Just a foreign lord who joined the Han faction, how strong could they be?

Could they possibly rely on a cavalry unit of two thousand to break through the blockade line of tens of millions of units formed by the millions of other foreign lords who joined them?

Clearly impossible!

Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang had this confidence.

But the next second!

Zhang Bao asked the scout in great shock: "Is the foreign lord who is attacking named Su Li, and is the cavalry unit under his command a blood-colored cavalry unit?!!"

The scout immediately replied: "Report to the General of Earth! According to the news from the foreign lords who joined us, that foreign lord is indeed named Su Li, and the cavalry unit under his command is indeed a blood-colored cavalry unit!"

"Besides that, the news they sent also said that the foreign lord led his unit and has already pierced through half of their blockade line."

"Even with their strength in numbers, they simply can't stop him!"

Zhang Jiao: ???

Zhang Liang: ???

Hearing this news, even Zhang Jiao felt shocked; to be able to pierce through a blockade line of tens of millions of people with just a team of two thousand.

What a powerful combat force this must be!

Only Zhang Bao had an "as expected" expression.

When he heard that a foreign lord was leading a cavalry unit of two thousand to charge their outer blockade line, he had already guessed who it was.

It was indeed Su Li, the lord of White Cloud Town who had defeated him in Julu City, and that blood-colored cavalry unit with momentum like a dragon.

"Second Brother, is the foreign lord Su Li who is attacking now the same one who defeated you in Julu a few days ago?"

Regaining his senses, Zhang Jiao also realized something, frowning slightly as he looked at Zhang Bao.

"Yes, that's right, it's him!"

"After escaping from Julu, I specifically investigated his information; he is the lord of White Cloud Town in Changshan."

"He has defeated our Yellow Turban units many times before, and many generals have fallen at his hands; both his personal strength and the unit under his command are extremely formidable."

Zhang Bao nodded heavily, clearly still having lingering fears about Su Li's strength, and then continued: "Besides that, there is also a person in a bamboo hat beside him who can cast immortal arts and specifically counters the demonic power of the Taiping Essential Arts."

"But I don't know why, that person in the bamboo hat gives me a sense of familiarity, as if they are connected to us by blood..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Liang immediately stood up and interrupted: "Impossible! Our three brothers only practiced the demonic book and vowed to break the boundaries because we had no relatives left in this world!"

"How could there still be someone connected to us by blood? Second Brother, you must have sensed it wrong, right?"

Zhang Bao gave a bitter smile: "I also think I sensed it wrong, unless..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Bao's gaze fell on Zhang Jiao, and he didn't continue.

Because this was the pain of Zhang Jiao's life, and they were unwilling to mention it again.

Zhang Liang, however, was straightforward and subconsciously guessed: "Could it be that Second Brother is talking about Ning'er? That's even more impossible; Ning'er was lost when she was very young."

"And Big Brother has already used the demonic book to divine, and Ning'er has no life force left in this world, which means..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang also suddenly stopped, because he felt that Zhang Jiao's emotions had begun to fluctuate, and he immediately realized, hurriedly apologizing: "I'm sorry, Big Brother, I didn't mean to mention Ning'er..."

"It's fine, so much time has passed since Ning'er's affair, I have already forgotten."

Zhang Jiao suppressed a certain sadness in his heart, waved his hand, and then stood up and said: "No matter who that person in the bamboo hat is, since they can use immortal arts, they are our enemy; let's go out and see."

"And also take a look at that unique foreign lord, Su Li."

"Compared to the other foreign lords who are still relatively weak, he actually possesses such powerful strength!"
