Chapter 428

"The distance he is at is more than several miles away; arrows cannot reach him."

Zhang He used his bow and arrow to gauge the distance, discovered that Zhang Jiao was far beyond the range of his bow, and put his longbow down again.

Su Li also nodded.

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

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

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

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

Moreover, the four sides of that high platform were guarded by Huang Jinlishi; thousands of Huang Jinlishi formed a circular formation, which was clearly capable of effectively resisting arrow damage.

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

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

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

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

"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 really 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 opponent also has Huang Jinlishi."

There were still many Huang Jinlishi around Zhang Jiao, and there might be more hidden in the dark.

Once they formed a formation, added to those countless Yellow Turbans, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could not handle it.

This was beyond doubt.

On a battlefield of this level, even a peerless general was not enough to affect the entire battle situation.

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

Liu Bei heard this, his gaze looking toward the direction of Lu Zhi and Zong Yuan.

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

But these troop 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 bandit leader Zhang Jiao has appeared, and he is still setting up a very powerful formation."

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

"So I have decided to go with Yunchang and Yide to assassinate the bandit leader Zhang Jiao."

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

"I wonder... if Brother Su is willing to go with us!"

Alright!

Seeing Liu Bei come over, Su Li had expected that nothing good would come of it.

As it turned out, it really was.

The meaning in these words was that he actually wanted him to lead the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry as the vanguard to clear the way for the three brothers?

Liu Bei was probably daydreaming again.

What did vanguard mean?

To put it nicely, it was the pathfinder for the army.

But to put it bluntly, it was charging to the very 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 without suffering any damage.

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

The vast majority of them were high-tier units, elite units, and even high-tier elites.

Not to mention the blessings of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and others, with numerous Yellow Turban generals eyeing them covetously from within... 0

How could he be the vanguard?

He would probably die before he even reached halfway.

"Brother Xuande is afraid to be disappointed; my troops and I have just experienced a great battle, and our physical strength has been severely depleted, so 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.

A small interlude also occurred.

Xun You of Nanyang stood beside Wang Fen, having been on good terms with Wang Fen all along.

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

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

Seeing the Yellow Turban army as endless, as if to overthrow the entire Great Han court, he tentatively said to the Inspector of Jizhou, Wang Fen: "Lord Inspector, nowadays the world is full of chaos; if we can kill Zhang Jiao and the others and incorporate these ten million Yellow Turbans for your use, great things can be accomplished."

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

"That's right, nowadays powerful families are rising everywhere, all recruiting righteous soldiers and casting weapons; within a few years, the entire world will surely be in great chaos."

"And the Jizhou you govern, Lord Inspector, has a large population, is full of outstanding people, and is rich in resources; if you gain power one day, what would be difficult about accomplishing great things?"

Because of Xun You's instigation, a heaven-defying boldness couldn't help but grow in Wang Fen's heart.

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