Chapter 216: Liu Bei is Daydreaming Again

Wind swept away the clouds, silver snakes danced, purple lightning flashed; the entire Yecheng seemed to be affected by the Heavenly Thunder Technique, torn by wild winds, and it felt like the city walls were shaking.

Even ordinary Han army units could barely stand, and a few unlucky ones fell off and were smashed to pieces.

On that side.

After the Yellow Turbans laid out the formation, they were also quickly building a high platform.

A thin, yellow-robed old Daoist holding a nine-section staff slowly climbed onto the high platform, looking down at all living beings.

"The rebel leader Zhang Jiao has appeared!"

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed; he finally saw the Great Virtuous Teacher Zhang Jiao, who had been hiding in the Yellow Turban army.

As soon as Zhang Jiao appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone, including Su Li.

As the leader of the Yellow Turban army, Zhang Jiao's appearance would directly affect this battle for Yecheng.

"The distance he is at exceeds several miles; arrows cannot hit him."

Zhang He measured the distance with his bow and arrow and found that Zhang Jiao was far beyond the range of his bow, so he lowered his longbow.

Su Li also nodded.

Even with his Master-level Archery and the blessing of the Iron-Fetal Bow, he could not shoot beyond several miles.

Even if he could reach him, the power of the arrow would be weakened by air resistance to an extreme degree.

It would be impossible to cause damage to an Epic NPC of Zhang Jiao's level.

Therefore, they were helpless now and could only watch Zhang Jiao casting spells on the high platform.

Moreover, the four sides of the high platform were guarded by Yellow Turban Warriors; thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors formed a circular formation, which was clearly effective in resisting arrow damage.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, now that the rebel leader has appeared, do you have the confidence to charge into the enemy formation and kill Zhang Jiao?"

At this time, compared to Su Li and Zhang He, Liu Bei was even more simple and crude, turning to ask Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

He actually wanted to go out of the city and kill Zhang Jiao directly.

However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shook their heads: "Big Brother, the Yellow Turban army is countless; I fear that before we reach the enemy's rear, we will be trapped in endless encirclement and slaughter."

"Unless there is a strong army willing to serve as the vanguard and clear the way for us!"

"That's right, Big Brother, it's not that Second Brother and I are cowards, it's just that there are too many Yellow Turbans outside; even with the strength of the two of us, if we fall into the encirclement, it will be very difficult to break out, especially since the enemy has Yellow Turban Warriors."

There were many Yellow Turban Warriors around Zhang Jiao, and there might be more hidden in the dark.

Once they formed a formation, plus those countless Yellow Turbans, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't handle it.

This was beyond doubt.

On a battlefield of this level, even peerless generals were not enough to influence the entire situation.

"Do you need a strong army to serve as the vanguard?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei looked toward Lu Zhi and Zong Yuan.

The elite of Yecheng were none other than Lu Zhi's Five Schools of the Northern Army and Zong Yuan's Wuhuan Cavalry.

But these units were not as good as that person's two thousand blood-colored cavalry.

Finally.

Liu Bei's gaze fell on Su Li.

After thinking for a while, he walked to Su Li's side and said: "Brother Su, now that the Yellow Turban rebel leader Zhang Jiao has appeared and is setting up a very powerful formation."

"If that formation is completed, it will inevitably have a great impact on us."

"So Bei has decided to go with Yunchang and Zhang Zhang Yide to kill the rebel leader Zhang Jiao."

"But I am troubled by the fact that there are too many Yellow Turbans outside, and we need a strong vanguard unit to clear the way for us."

"I wonder... is Brother Su willing to accompany us!"

Alright!

Seeing Liu Bei come over, Su Li knew nothing good would come of it.

As it turned out, it really was.

The meaning of his words was that he actually wanted him to take the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry as the vanguard to clear the way for the three brothers?

Liu Bei must be daydreaming again.

What does vanguard mean?

To put it nicely, they are the pathfinders for the army.

But to put it bluntly, they are the ones charging in front to die.

Facing so many Yellow Turbans, like a vast ocean.

Even if the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry were strong, it was impossible to charge through unscathed.

After all, these Yellow Turbans were not trash units like the player troops.

Most of them were high-tier units, elite units, or even high-tier elites.

Not to mention the blessings of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and others, with numerous Yellow Turban generals lurking inside...

How could they be the vanguard?

They would probably die before they even charged halfway.

"Brother Liu Liu Xuande will be disappointed; my troops and I have just experienced a fierce battle, our physical strength is severely depleted, and we are simply unable to serve as the vanguard."

Su Li refused without any room for negotiation.

"Then I have disturbed you, Brother Su..."

Hearing him say this, Liu Bei could only cup his hands and turn to leave.

At this time.

There was also a small interlude.

Xu You of Nanyang was standing next to Wang Fen, having been on good terms with him.

Xu You was also a legendary figure, not only on good terms with Wang Fen but also acquainted with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao; he was also a man who could change history with his own strength.

Xu You seemed unwilling to be mediocre and had always wanted to stir up trouble.

Seeing the Yellow Turban army as endless, as if to overthrow the entire Han court, he tentatively said to the Inspector of Jizhou, Wang Fen: "Inspector, in today's world, chaos is emerging; if we can kill Zhang Jiao and the others, and incorporate these millions of Yellow Turbans for your use, great things can be achieved."

Wang Fen was not a fool: "Mr. Xu, do you mean that we should secretly accumulate strength to plan for great things?"

"Exactly; now that powerful families are rising everywhere, recruiting righteous soldiers and casting armor, within a few years, the entire world will surely be in chaos."

"And the Jizhou you govern, Inspector, has a large population, is rich in talent, and has abundant resources; if you gain power one day, what is difficult about achieving great things?"

Because of Xu You's instigation, a bold idea sprouted in Wang Fen's heart.

If he could succeed, perhaps this world would no longer be surnamed Liu, but...
