Chapter 48 Morale is like a rainbow and the war is about to begin
Although Wu Ba and Peng Tuo only took away 30,000 people, 20,000 of them were strong soldiers and 10,000 old, weak, women and children.
The total number of elite soldiers under other commanders is only 30,000, and the old, weak, women and children account for 40,000.
"Damn guy!"
Seeing Wu Ba and Peng Tuo leaving in a hurry, Huang Shao became angry and cursed secretly.
At this time, Wu Ba and Peng Tuo had already been dazzled by the prosperity and wealth of Runan. They were getting closer and closer to Runan, and their eyes gradually turned blood red.
"Peng Tuo! We will attack Runan later and we will share it equally..."
Before Wu Ba could finish speaking, he heard noisy sounds coming from the way, including the sound of horse hooves and the neighing of horses, which made the two of them turn pale.
"All officers and men obey the order! The whole army charges!"
Yuchi Gong waved his magic weapon and took the lead in charging towards the Yellow Turban army.
Wu Ba and Peng Tuo suddenly panicked and picked up their weapons and danced wildly. At the same time, they shouted and ordered their soldiers to charge to resist Yuan Jun's attack.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this Runan army to dare to go out of the city for a surprise attack. Hum, I will make sure you look good!"
In the space of almost a cup of tea, the army commanded by Yu Chigong and others had already charged back and forth five or six times among the Yellow Turban Army.
But Wu Ba and Peng Tuo were able to organize their soldiers and prepare to attack Yuan Jun!
"The whole army obeyed the order, dropped their baggage and retreated quickly."
The soldiers dropped the food and some unnecessary items they were carrying and followed Yuchi Gong into the dense forest.
"Chase! Chase me quickly!"
At this time, Wu Ba and Peng Tuo did not think so much. They were overwhelmed by anger and led their troops into the dense forest to pursue Yuchi Gong's troops.
Looking at the other side, the five Yellow Turban generals Liu Pi, Gong Du, He Man, Huang Shao, and He Yi were all shocked after receiving the news that Wu Ba and Peng Tuo were raided. Then they exchanged words and led their troops to
support.
Although there are some contradictions, it is normal for him to be a member of the Yellow Turban Army and help him in critical moments.
So the five generals arranged for the old, weak, women and children to stay in place, while they and others led 30,000 strong soldiers and rushed towards the dense forest.
"Generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the rest will be left to you. We have lured the bandits here."
As soon as Yuchi Gong led his troops into the dense forest, he encountered Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were ambushing them. After a brief explanation, he quickly left the dense forest with his soldiers and joined Yuan Shu!
"Young men! Quick, don't let these guys escape."
At this time, Wu Ba and Peng Tuo entered the dense forest and called on their soldiers to speed up. They had no idea that an ambush was waiting for them and others!
"Wait until they get closer."
Xu Chu lay on the grass, watching the bandits getting closer and closer to him, and whispered to Dian Wei beside him.
Just when Wu Ba was about to arrive in front of Xu Chu, Dian Wei gave an order, and the soldiers quickly stood up, bent their bows and nocked arrows.
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
A hail of arrows fell, and screams came one after another.
"Hmph! Little thief, take your life!"
Dian Wei stood up suddenly, raised the two iron halberds in his hands, and rushed straight towards Peng Tuo in front of him.
On the other side, Xu Chu also waved the nine-eared and eight-ringed elephant trunk knife in his hand and slashed at Wu Ba.
Only the sound of penetration was heard, Wu Ba's head was in different places, and blood splattered on the spot!
Peng Tuo fled quickly, widening the distance between himself and Dian Wei. He finally escaped from Dian Wei's hands, but he became more and more angry after taking a step back, and directly led his soldiers to rush to kill Yuan Jun.
"Hmph! Just because of your rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs?"
Dian Wei replied disdainfully, and Xu Chu arrived and fought with Dian Wei.
The officers and soldiers of Yuan's army were greatly boosted in morale when they saw Xu Chu holding Wu Ba's head.
"Ding! Dian Wei's skill "King of Halberds" is activated, and the force value rises to 104 (106)"
"Ding! Xu Chu's skill 'King of Swords' is activated, and the force value rises to 103 (105)"
"Ding! The combination skills of Dian Wei and Xu Chu are activated, and the force value is increased by 6 points. The current force value of Dian Wei has increased to 110 (112), and the force value of Xu Chu has increased to 109 (111)."
Dian Wei and Xu Chu's skills didn't even need to be activated, and they could be improved to more than 110 by relying on combination skills, which was more than enough to deal with some yellow turban soldiers!
But Dian Wei's target was not the Yellow Turban soldiers, but their leader, Peng Tuo.
As the saying goes, to shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first, capture the king. As long as you kill the commander on the opposite side, then dealing with a group of rabble is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
Xu Chu glanced at Dian Wei, and Dian Wei understood!
"The yellow turban general opposite, take your life!"
Xu Chu roared and rushed forward, but Peng Tuo had no courage to confront Xu Chu and fled quickly.
With Xu Chu chasing after him, he gradually got closer to Dian Wei, still about ten meters away. A smile appeared on Dian Wei's dark face.
I saw his hand slowly touching his waist and taking out two small halberds from his waist...
"Whoosh!"
The small halberds flew out, one penetrated Peng Tuo's right chest, and the other hit Peng Tuo's thigh, making him unable to move.
"Hmph! Let's exchange your head for military merit."
Xu Chu laughed, picked up the nine-eared and eight-ringed elephant-trunk sword in his hand, walked straight towards Peng Tuo, swung the sword high and chopped it down hard.
"My life is at an end..."
Peng Tuo closed his eyes, looking relieved, but secretly resentful.
"Qiang!"
When the sword was about to cut off Peng Tuo's head, an arrow hit Xu Chu's sword, temporarily saving Peng Tuo's life.
"uh-huh?"
The arrival of this feathered arrow made Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and some Yuan Jun soldiers all look towards the place where the arrow was shot.
In the direction not far away, I saw a group of soldiers wearing yellow scarves standing thickly, and in front of the soldiers stood five men who looked like commanders.
It was one of them who shot an arrow and saved Peng Tuo's life!
Seeing this, Xu Chu was speechless and signaled to the surrounding soldiers. Then he quickly got on his horse and led his soldiers back to Runan City.
The reason why Xu Chu did not kill Peng Tuo was mainly because he did not want to anger the Yellow Turban general opposite. After a fierce fight, his soldiers were a little tired, and the number of Yellow Turban soldiers opposite was far away from Yuan's army.
This reminded Xu Chu of Yuan Shu's words, he must stay and return quickly after the ambush!
The Yellow Turban Army Liu Pi, Gong Du and other five generals on the other side did not continue to pursue, but came to Peng Tuo's side, removed the halberd from his thigh, and arranged for personnel to treat his injuries.
Of course, the mission of attacking Runan City will not stop because of Wu Ba's death and Peng Tuo's serious injury.
Gong Du took the lead in leading the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command and rushed to Runan first, followed by the two brothers He Man and He Yi, then Huang Shao, followed by Liu Pi and Peng Tuo.
The Yellow Turban Army passed through the dense forest and marched several miles to the vicinity of Runan City.
At this time, outside Runan City, Yuan's army had been preparing for a long time, just waiting for these Yellow Turban bandits to come. The Yellow Turban army was exhausted and wanted to pursue Yuchi Gong's tribe and Dianwei Xu Chu's tribe. In addition to the two commanders, one was seriously injured and the other
Beheaded.
Morale dropped!
On the other hand, Yuan Jun's morale was like a rainbow, and with the blessing of Yuan Shu's presence, he and many generals were in charge.
