Zhang Jiao did not let Dong Zhuo go so easily, and immediately ordered most of the soldiers to fight against the retreating Dong Zhuo army.
Jia Rong led his troops to resist the continuous rush of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
According to normal training, Jia Rong asked the soldiers to form a formation, take care of each other, and worked together to resist the Yellow Turban soldiers who came to fight.
Jia Rong did not let the cavalry come forward. He only had such a few cavalry and could not play much role in such a battlefield. It would be better to retain some strength and think about the retreat of his soldiers.
Soldiers formed a formation on the battlefield to kill the enemy, which was indeed effective. Whenever a soldier on his side was injured or died, a soldier would immediately make up for his previous position, and the bodies of the killed Yellow Turban soldiers were lying in front of the formation.
Although his companions were killed one by one, the Yellow Turban soldiers rushed towards Jia Rong's troops without hesitation.
Suddenly, Jia Rong felt that the impact of the Yellow Turban soldiers was not as strong as before, and the pressure suddenly decreased. It turned out that Zhang Jiao led most of his troops to fight towards the retreating Dong Zhuo army; he was also powerless, and he also led the soldiers to slowly move towards the direction of Dong Zhuo's retreat.
What Jia Rong did not expect was that when Zhang Jiao led his soldiers to the retreating Dong Zhuo army, he took care of Jia Rong and asked his adopted son Zhang Yan to lead a group of troops to destroy Jia Rong's troops. Zhang Jiao did not want to cause trouble in his rear, so that the enemy could take advantage of it.
Zhang Yan has always been trusted by Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Yan's subordinates are all elite Yellow Turbans.
Jia Rong, who was fighting with the Yellow Turbans, saw a Yellow Turban soldier with about two thousand soldiers coming out of Zhangjiao's camp. The big flag was written with a big word "Zhang" fluttering in the wind.
After the fighting soldiers saw the army coming, they all avoided the road.
Looking at this posture, Jia Rong knew that the master was coming, so he cheered up and welcomed the next battle.
Unlike the Yellow Turban soldiers that Jia Rong had seen before, Jia Rong saw that everyone in this Yellow Turban team was wearing hard and holding sharp edges, and the soldiers' equipment was even better than Jia Rong's soldiers; and the team revealed a kind of momentum of moving forward as they walked, which was the aura that the old soldiers on the battlefield should have.
Without Jia Rong's reminder, the soldiers also noticed the extraordinaryness of this team. They all looked ahead vigilantly, holding the weapons in their hands tightly.
After the arrival of the team, they did not immediately enter the battle, but stood neatly; at this time, a general walked out of the team, rode a war horse that looked very good, wearing a strong armor, holding a long spear in his hand, and there was a faint red blood on the tip of the gun.
He rode his horse to the front of the formation and shouted loudly to Jia Rong's army: "A general in the army, come out and answer."
When fighting with the Qiang people, there were no rules. When they went up directly, they would just rush to kill. There was no answer or not. However, Jia Rong could not lose his etiquette and rode his horse to the team and said loudly: "Jia Rong from Xiliang is here."
The general saw Jia Rong telling his name and replied: "Yellow Turban Zhang Yan, you have met General Jia; now the Han Dynasty is corrupt, why not surrender early, follow the great wise and good teachers and make achievements. If the general is willing to surrender, Zhang Yan will definitely speak more beautifully in front of the great wise and good teachers to ensure your glory and wealth."
After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Jia Rong shouted: "Resist the thief and commit rebellion against the emperor. Everyone can punish him. Why not surrender early to avoid being a knife or an axe in the future."
Seeing that Zhang Yan could not persuade the surrender, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately rushed towards Jia Rong's army.
Jia Rong returned to the team and directed the soldiers to deal with the Yellow Turban soldiers who came to fight. His own soldiers were also soldiers who had experienced great wars. They did not lose any disadvantage when facing the Yellow Turban elites.
Zhang Yan took the lead and came to Jia Rong's formation. Zhang Yan was very skilled in martial arts, and each man and a long spear in his hand flew up and down. In the blink of an eye, more than ten soldiers in Jia Rong's team had been killed. Seeing Zhang Yan so brave, the Yellow Turban soldiers all used their lives to move forward.
Jia Rongjun's soldiers struggled to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and casualties gradually increased.
Seeing Zhang Yan so arrogant and constantly killing the soldiers in front, the Yellow Turban soldiers were all brave.
Jia Rong ordered Zhang Wei to command the soldiers to fight, and then he held a sword in his hand and rode his horse to kill Zhang Yan.
Jiang Yu was afraid that Jia Rong would make a mistake, so he hurriedly rode his horse to follow Jia Rong. Zhang Wei was not good at fighting horses, so he followed him step by step. Zhang Wei was brave and the Yellow Turban soldiers killed along the way were overturned by people.
When Jia Rong killed Zhang Yan ten steps away, he shouted: "Zhang Yan looks at the knife!"
Ten steps away, and the sword was about to arrive in a blink of an eye. The sword carried the sword wind toward Zhang Yan. When Zhang Yan saw the sound of the sword, he also showed a solemn look on his face, and he held a spear in his hand to welcome Jia Rong's sword.
When the weapons intersected, a harsh sound of "sharpness" was heard; Jia Rong raised his knife and slashed at Zhang Yan again, compared to the sound of the knife just now.
Jia Rong was very strong, Zhang Yan was good at martial arts, and it was difficult to decide the outcome for a while. After the sword and gun shadows were intersecting for dozens of rounds, the two cavalry separated. Jia Rong was panting heavily, and Zhang Yan's face turned red.
The spear used by Zhang Yan is a good weapon. After just a while of fighting, Jia Rong found that several gaps had appeared on his big sword.
Seeing Jiang Yu beside him, Jia Rong immediately ordered: "Jiang Yu, lead the cavalry to charge immediately, and the victory or defeat will be defeated in one fell swoop."
Jiang Yu also understood the situation on the battlefield. Seeing that Jia Rong and Zhang Yan had no major problems, he took the order and rode his horse away.
After a while, there were sounds of fighting in Zhang Yan's camp. It turned out that Jiang Yu led the cavalry troops to rush towards the Yellow Turban soldiers.
Although Jiang Yu was defeated by Jia Rong, it was because of the infantry battle. If it was a battlefield, Jia Rong would be less than half as good as Jiang Yu. Jia Rong even believed that he would not be at all inferior to Hua Xiong Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu rode his horse to rush on the battlefield. Like Jia Rong, Jiang Yu also used a big sword.
Jiang Yu was skillful in swordsmanship. Wherever the big sword passed, there was no enemy of the Yellow Turban soldiers. Seeing Jiang Yu so brave, all the Yellow Turban soldiers killed were so scared that they all avoided Jiang Yu when they saw that they came.
The cavalry led by Jiang Yu were basically the original cavalry of the Qiang people, and they were well aware of the way to rush on the battlefield. Seeing Jiang Yu galloping across the battlefield, he was encouraged and shouted and rushed towards the Yellow Turban soldiers. Wherever the war horses went, the Yellow Turban soldiers were killed and injured countless times.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who had an advantage the moment ago, and the attacking Jia Rong's army kept retreating were now showing signs of defeat.
Seeing that his soldiers had the advantage, Zhang Wei also led the infantry to counterattack the Yellow Turban soldiers. For a moment, the large number of Yellow Turban soldiers were at a disadvantage.
Zhang Yan was concerned about the battlefield and wanted to get rid of Jia Rong and kill him back. How could Jia Rong let him do what he wanted? He killed Zhang Yan with one sword and another.
Seeing that he could not get rid of Jia Rong, Zhang Yan also became serious and vowed to kill Jia Rong.
Jia Rong knew in his heart that his martial arts skills were not as good as Zhang Yan. The reason why he could get a draw was entirely because he had strong strength and reduced ten times with one force, temporarily suppressing Zhang Yan.
After dozens of rounds of battle, Jia Rong accidentally stabbed the shoulder by Zhang Yan with a spear, and blood was like a spring. Jia Rong gritted his teeth and endured the pain and continued to fight with Zhang Yan.
Seeing Jia Rong being injured, Zhang Yan's aura became even more fierce. Another spear stabbed Jia Rong in the thigh, and it was immediately bloody and fuzzy.
Jia Rong, who was stimulating in pain, roared and rushed towards Zhang Yan. The swords and guns intersected, sending sparks.
Jiang Yu, who was leading the cavalry to fight, heard Jia Rong's roar and ordered his deputy general to continue leading the cavalry to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers, and immediately rode his horse to help Jia Rong.
When the Yellow Turban soldiers saw that it was Jiang Yu who came to fight, they all retreated one after another. Only then did Jiang Yu quickly arrive at Jia Rong.
He waved his sword and slashed at Zhang Yan. Listening to the sword wind coming from behind, Zhang Yan hurriedly abandoned Jia Rong and faced Jiang Yu.
Only then did Jia Rong get a chance to breathe, and he felt scared in his heart. If Jiang Yu had not rescued him in time, he might have died in the battle;
Zhang Yan stabbed her wounds with a spear and kept bleeding.
Zhang Wei, who was surrounded by yellow turban soldiers in the distance, also fought hard to kill Jia Rong, holding a big knife in his hand and looking around vigilantly.
Jia Rong gritted his teeth and endured the pain, so he rode on the war horse. He was the leader of the army and the backbone of the soldiers. He should stick to the end.
Jiang Yu is worthy of being a strong man on the battlefield, and Zhang Yan is retreating step by step.
Seeing that he was anxious to take down Zhang Yan, Jiang Yu made a flaw. When Zhang Yan stabbed him with a spear, he grabbed him with one hand, then swung his sword to slash Zhang Yan, and with a big knife, he would cut Zhang Yan into two sections.
Jia Rong in the distance saw Jiang Yu use such a wonderful move and applauded loudly.
When Zhang Yan saw Jiang Yu waving his big sword, he hurriedly threw away the gun in his hand, avoided Jiang Yu's sharp sword, and fled in a panic.
When Jiang Yu saw Zhang Yan running away, he did not chase him, but instead rode his horse to Jia Rong to protect Jia Rong's safety.
Seeing that Jiang Yu beat Zhang Yan in a few rounds, Jia Rong felt guilty that he had taken too much advantage in subduing Jiang Yu. If he rode on a war horse, he might not have defeated Jiang Yu in a few rounds.
Jia Rong thought to himself that he also used a big sword as a weapon, and he could ask Jiang Yu about sword techniques in the future. It is still very important to be brave in the battlefield.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who were fighting saw that Zhang Yan had retreated, and abandoned the enemy in front of him, and hurriedly retreated.
Jia Rong asked the soldiers to make a sound of gold and stopped the soldiers from pursuing. As the saying goes, do not pursue the enemy. Moreover, the Yellow Turban soldiers are powerful at this moment and the situation of Dong Zhuo's army is unclear. What he should do now is to find the direction where Dong Zhuo's army is as soon as possible and move closer to him.
Jia Rong immediately sent a scout to inquire about Dong Zhuo's army, and then cleaned up the battlefield.
The Yellow Turban soldiers brought by Zhang Yan were all the elite among the Yellow Turban soldiers. Compared with the weapons, they used better than Jia Rong's soldiers. Jia Rong ordered the soldiers to take away the weapons and armor of the Yellow Turban soldiers they had harvested and keep them for their future use.
After a while, the scouts heard news that Dong Zhuo's army was fighting with the Yellow Turban soldiers five miles away. After receiving the news, Jia Rong led the soldiers to the direction where Dong Zhuo's army was located.
