Chapter 17 Zhang Jue's "Throwing Beans to Make Soldiers"

On the other side, Lu Zhi's army had fought several times with Zhang Jue's main force.

Even large-scale battles were fought.

But no one could do anything to anyone. Without the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, Lu Zhi did not defeat Zhang Jue in one fell swoop as the original trajectory had intended. Instead, he was bitten to death by the Yellow Turban army, and was caught in a dilemma.

However, the three Zhang Jiao brothers could not do anything to Lu Zhi.

After all, the regular army of the imperial court was not comparable to the peasants of the Yellow Turbans, and Lu Zhi was not a weak scholar. He knew how to deploy troops and could even lead them into battle himself.

"I underestimated that scholar named Lu," said Zhang Liang.

Then, Zhang Bao said, "It's not just him. The troops from Jingzhou and Changsha who came with the army are also very difficult to deal with. Especially the father and son of Sun Jian. The father is as brave as a tiger, and the son is like the reincarnation of the Overlord!"

In the battles over the past few days, they have fought against various generals of the imperial army.

But no one got the advantage.

The Jingzhou navy should not be strong when it came ashore, but the soldiers under Huang Zu, who held the "yellow" flag, were good at fighting. Not only were they good at close combat, they were also very good at long-range archery.

Many Yellow Turban generals were shot and killed.

Even more difficult to deal with were the father and son of the Sun family in Changsha. Not only did they have excellent soldiers under their command, but each one was more powerful than the other. Sun Jian fought against Zhang Bao, the most powerful general of the Yellow Turban Army, and did not show any weakness at all.

He earned the nickname "Jiangdong Tiger".

His son Sun Ce has been chasing after General Zhang Liang. Although he did not gain much advantage, he suppressed Zhang Liang in terms of momentum, causing the morale of the Yellow Turban Army to be somewhat low.

"I will go to the next battle myself!" Zhang Jue said suddenly.

Hearing this, the two brothers were stunned.

"Brother, what do you want?"

"Okay, let's fight to decide the outcome!"

Early the next morning, after resting and gathering their strength, the Yellow Turban Army, led by Zhang Jue, launched an all-out attack towards Lu Zhi's camp.

As for Lu Zhi, he also waited for a long time and ordered 90% of his troops to be dispatched.

More than 300,000 people fought hand-to-hand in a narrow plain.

"Six Dings and Six Jias, twelve divine generals, follow me!" Zhang Jue shouted, holding the military flag, and rushed towards the enemy like a vanguard general.

This is a big taboo in marching.

Where is the head coach leading the charge?

He is not a peerless warrior.

However, the twelve "divine generals" who followed him surrounded him like twelve gods in heaven and directly broke up Lu Zhi's formation.

During the process, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Gongsun Zan and others stepped forward to stop them.

But when the sword hit the general, it was like hitting a steel plate, and the weapon was knocked away instead.

Only Sun Ce could barely shake that divine general.

But that's all.

"how come?"

Everyone was shocked.

Lu Zhi was watching from afar, also with a look of astonishment on his face. He said gloomily, "Sowing beans to create soldiers?"

As we all know, the Taiping Dao was a group of rebels whose roots were in religion, and their leader, the Great and Wise Master Zhang Jue, was rumored to be able to call the wind and rain and turn beans into soldiers.

Just a handful of soybeans can create an army of thousands.

But those who truly understand the mystical arts know very well that this is simply impossible - if the arts were really that powerful, what would the use of soldiers and generals be?
In fact, the limit of the mysterious technique is to hurt only one person.

Yu Ji was able to use his own life to curse the top-notch general Sun Ce to death, which was the limit of his magic.

Going further up, characters like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu are all immune to spells.

Although Zhang Jue did not follow the path of sorcery, but was more inclined to the art of mechanical puppets, he only refined twelve "Yellow Turban God Generals".

In other words, his bean-casting soldiers did exist, but he could only conjure up twelve soldiers. Combined with mechanical puppets, they were invulnerable to swords and guns.

This was the reason why he dared to take the initiative to attack, and it was also Zhang Jiao's ultimate skill as the ceiling of a sorcerer - a puppet god that the twelve Sun Ce could only slightly shake but not harm!
"kill!"

While everyone was astonished, he took the lead and rushed towards Lu Zhi, wanting to decide the outcome of the battle in one battle.

"Lu Zhi was careless!"

"Won!"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang saw that Zhang Jue was approaching and thought the outcome was settled, so they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and others all felt nervous.

If the head coach is killed, it will be the end of us!
"Protect Coach Lu!"

……

That night, both sides returned to their camps.

Jiang Cheng returned to the Yellow Turban Army under the cover of night, and the first thing he saw was Zhang Jue lying on the hospital bed, dying - yes, that's right, dying, and Zhang Jue was still seriously injured as before.

"Father!" Zhang Yue was shocked.

Jiang Cheng was also a little confused and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang sighed and told the whole story: After Zhang Jiao had revealed all his cards, he had indeed acted unintentionally and led the "Twelve Divine Generals" to rush in front of Lu Zhi.

He even fought with Lu Zhi personally, pierced his shoulder with a sword, and was about to kill him.

But at this moment, an arrow shot from a distance, evaded the interception of the twelve gods, and shot into Zhang Jue's back. Although it was blocked by bones and a heart guard, it did not pierce his heart, but it still seriously injured him.

As his breath was released, the Six Dings and Six Jias also lost control and turned into twelve beans and returned to his sleeves.

As a result, Zhang Jue, who had originally planned to charge into the enemy's tent, was instead surrounded and beaten by the enemy. If it weren't for the brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang who risked their lives to rescue him, he would have probably died by now.

"I regret not listening to you!" said Zhang Jue.

In fact, before the war started, Jiang Cheng had already explained that the enemy had more than one "peerless general".

But he didn't care.

Thinking that Jiang Cheng had stopped Guan and Zhang, Sun Ce's true strength was revealed again, and the enemy no longer had any top-notch generals.

As a result, when he was trying to seize the position of commander, he was shot and wounded by an unknown young general in the yellow flag and almost died on the spot - that was none other than Huang Zhong, a fierce man who now stood like a minion but was listed among the "Five Tiger Generals" in his later years.

"What's the situation now?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao immediately replied: "We suffered a great defeat, with nearly 100,000 casualties. Now we only have 80,000 soldiers left to use. Moreover, their morale is not high."

When he said this, he also looked worried.

The situation was originally very good, but unexpectedly, it was reversed because of "one arrow".

Today, it is no longer a question of whether we can defeat the enemy, but whether we can hold on.

Even Julu City might be breached!

"Can it be cured?" Jiang Cheng looked at Hua Tuo who was treating Zhang Jiao's wound and asked.

Hearing this, Hua Tuo thought for a moment and said, "If you rest well, you can still be cured. But you must not be tired or bumpy at this time, otherwise even the gods can't save you!"

The meaning is very clear, that is, Zhang Jue can no longer command the battle or lead his troops to retreat.

Otherwise, the injury will be aggravated and death will occur.

In the original trajectory of fate, the reason why Zhang Jue died was probably because he was injured and then tired and bumpy, which led to his serious illness and death!
"In other words, we have to find someone else to lead the Yellow Turban Army, and we cannot retreat but must hold on?" Zhang Liang said, turning to look at Zhang Jue.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue nodded.

She forced herself to say to Jiang Cheng, "You should marry Yue'er tonight!"

Jiang Cheng: “???”
