I did it all for the Han Dynasty!

Chapter 510 Total Collapse
On the battlefield, the roar suddenly stopped.

But what followed was an even more restless drumbeat and an even more frantic shout!

Yuan Shao's imperial banner appeared on the battlefield.

The banners of Yuan Shao's army at the entire front line seemed to be swept away by a gust of wind, changing direction and beginning to converge in the direction Yuan Shao was advancing.

And the place Yuan Shao ultimately wanted to reach was, without a doubt, this place!

After seeing Yuan Shao's bright yellow imperial dragon banner, Liu Miao finally pulled his hand out from behind his back and placed it on the hilt of his sword.

"His Majesty……"

Chen Yu didn't know how to describe her feelings.

Under Yuan Shao's guidance, an overwhelming horde of Yuan's soldiers charged toward him.

This feeling is as if all the malice in the world is tearing at you frantically, and you can't resist it at all.

However, when Chen Yu looked at Liu Miao, Liu Miao remained as steadfast as a rock standing firm amidst towering waves, showing no sign of wavering.

"What? Are you scared?"

"no!"

Chen Yu was stubborn.

However, Chen Yu quickly softened his tone: "I just wanted to remind Your Majesty that Yuan Shao will not back down this time."

Hearing Chen Yu's somewhat demoralizing words, Liu Miao was not angry; he simply curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"What a coincidence!"

"how?"

"We will not back down!"

Seemingly in response to Liu Miao, the Han army below the mountain raised their banners and converged in one place, forming a wall of flesh and blood to block the two dragon banners.

"Ziming! Boyan! Zhongda! The three of you go to the tents of Bofu, Zhu Huan, and Jiang Qin and tell them that even if only one of them is left alive, they are absolutely not allowed to retreat even a single step!"

"Here!"

The storm at the front lines was escalating, but in this crucial moment, all was calm.

Lu Meng, Lu Yi, and Sima Yi, who had been temporarily captured, stood in a row and gladly accepted the order.

As for Zhou Yu's whereabouts, none of the three of them inquired about it.

Because Zhou Yu was already mounted on his warhorse and holding a drawn sword in his hand.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Zhou Yu was to personally excavate Yuan Shao's tomb and bury him there completely!

Zhou Yu's face, hidden beneath the mask, trembled slightly at this moment.

The stickiness of sweat was clearly felt in my right hand, which was gripping the sword hilt.

The war with Yuan Shao has come to an end!

"charge!"

……

Yuan Shao also noticed the changes on the battlefield.

While he was somewhat surprised to see that Zhou Yu's own banner was not stretched out in front of him, he quickly overlooked these minor details.

At this moment, all he could see was the crimson dragon banner standing on Baiyun Mountain!
This time, Yuan Shao did not want it to submit, so he tried to talk to it.

There was only one thing he wanted to do! That was to destroy it completely!
Yuan Shao drew his longsword with his hand, but his trembling arm made the sword tremble as well.

Only after Yuan Shao forcibly pressed down with his other hand could he barely lift the sword horizontally.

The sword's edge points directly at the dragon banner; there is nothing else in the world besides it!

"Whoever seizes this flag will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Shouts erupted from Yuan Jun's position.

In contrast, the Han army's positions remained silent.

Silence does not indicate low morale.

Behind that heavy shield, pairs of bright eyes looked out.

The Han soldiers knew early on what they were fighting for.

The Great Han?

Emperor?

That's what they say, they'd say the same thing even if the King of Heaven himself came, but in reality, they don't even know who they're fighting for.

But these soldiers knew that the relatively fair environment under the Three Chiefs System, the few acres of private land they received under the Equal Field System, and the clearly written laws and regulations in the Zhangwu Law... were things they could not obtain elsewhere because they were born in a chaotic world.

These things weren't just proclaimed by the Han Dynasty or the emperor; they were real benefits that had already been implemented for them.

They had to win this battle for these things; they had no other choice.

They were exactly the "fearful people" that Liu Miao had described!
"what!"

With a roar that came from nowhere, a mournful cry also came from the frozen belly of the Ji River, as if it was frightened by the two armies fighting bloody battle in front of it.

The situation became even more volatile.

Even the Han officials who were with Liu Miao had no time to look at any particular soldier or flag on the battlefield.

Soldiers rose and fell among them, and flags fell and rose again.

Even the most treacherous sea is calm compared to the current scene.

What's even more unbelievable is that Yuan Shao's dragon banner is actually advancing!

Yuan Shao is heading this way!

"His Majesty!"

Faced with shouts, Liu Miao now simply remained silent.

No matter how great a hero may be, in the face of this overwhelming tide, he is nothing more than a tiny speck of dust.

The so-called destiny, the so-called national fate, was now fully embodied in every single soldier on both sides. The fate of the people is the fate of the nation!

A sudden gleam flashed in Liu Miao's eyes!

He saw it!

That is the true destiny of the nation!

True popular support!
……

"Your Majesty! From the east! From the east! Zhou Yu is leading his troops charging from there!"

"Southwest! Your Majesty! It's the banner of Han general Xu Huang! His troops have already advanced deep into our territory!"

"Your Majesty! Defeated soldiers are fleeing from the north, saying that Lü Bu is already approaching!"

"..."

The voices from all directions made Yuan Shao realize that his entire army was beginning to collapse.

Just like his body, it started as a slight pain in a joint, and then slowly spread to the whole body, causing excruciating pain as if being bitten by ants.

But Yuan Shao doesn't care about anything now.

That crimson dragon banner!

This is Yuan Shao's elixir of immortality!
Get it, and everything will go smoothly!

They marched forward, roaring and desperate.

Yuan Shao is getting closer and closer to Liu Miao!

He could now see the entirety of the not-so-tall Baiyun Mountain! He could see the crimson dragon banner! He could see the person standing beneath the banner!

The arrogant, frivolous, and dignified Liu Miao!

Yuan Shao has actually made it here! He's actually right in front of Liu Miao!

Yuan Shao saw with his own eyes that the flag behind Liu Miao moved a few times.

Liu Miao's main force was already feeling immense pressure and was starting to panic!
Then Liu Miao should also...

When Yuan Shao squinted and saw Liu Miao, he couldn't believe his eyes and relaxed the muscles on his face that had been taut and twitching.

Although Yuan Shao couldn't see Liu Miao's face clearly, he could sense that Liu Miao was smiling!
He was definitely laughing!
Even after he had slaughtered through a million men, Liu Miao was still able to watch him charge towards him with a smile.

After a moment of stunned silence, a surge of intense shame welled up from the depths of Yuan Shao's heart!

Liu Miao's smile made Yuan Shao's pride seem like a joke!
From small to large.

No one ever dared to stand where Yuan Shao had to look up to him.

Even the former emperor of the Han Dynasty could only lower his head and submit to me during the Fengshan ceremony!
But Liu Miao just stood there smiling, as if Yuan Shao was merely a challenger, not an opponent that Liu Miao should take seriously!
How is this possible?

How could Liu Miao do such a thing?

This Liu Miao has absolutely no respect for me!
Yuan Shao was furious, and his already aging heart once again burst forth with the surging roar unique to the overlord of the late Han Dynasty!

"Liu Miao!"

At this point, the warhorse could no longer move forward.

Yuan Shao then dismounted his warhorse and continued to advance, relying on his rotting and stinking lame leg!

One mile!
Two hundred steps!
One hundred steps!

The distance between Yuan Shao and Liu Miao has been narrowed to an extreme!
Similarly, the brutality of the war also reached its limit!
Even generals like Zhang He and Sun Ce have been pushed to who-knows-where, and no one has time to care about their lives or deaths anymore.

Arrows kept flying overhead, and the biting cold wind made people feel the call from the netherworld, but neither Yuan Shao nor Liu Miao dodged!
"Your Majesty! Xu Huang has already penetrated deep into our territory!"

"Your Majesty! We have spotted Lü Bu and Zhang Liao's banners!"

"Your Majesty! Zhou Yu has led his troops into the enemy formation!"

"..."

As Xu Huang, his expression anxious, led his soldiers, who had rested in Shouchun after the entire battle, into Yuan Shao's lines and engaged them in close combat; as Lü Bu, his face contorted with vengeance, stepped onto the battlefield with Red Hare; as the heavy arrows of the Han army's heavy cavalry pelted Yuan Shao's heavily armored infantry; as Zhou Yu, wearing that terrifying demon mask, terrified Yuan Shao's soldiers into tears... Yuan Shao knew that this distance, seemingly short, was in fact an insurmountable chasm.

Yuan Shao was surrounded by Yuan's troops shouting and charging, but he knew that he could not break through their defenses.

Both their mental and physical selves have completely collapsed.

In a daze, Yuan Shao felt that everything around him was completely silent, and the only people he could sense were himself and Liu Miao not far away.

But Yuan Shao kept his eyes open, wanting to see exactly where he was and how far he was from Liu Miao.

And, was Liu Miao actually smiling?

The extremely dazzling sunlight pierced through the sky, but was blocked by Liu Miao's figure high above.

At this moment, Liu Miao was like a crimson golden crow emerging from the sun, forcing Yuan Shao to squint his eyes in order to catch a glimpse of Liu Miao before he lost sight of him.

Fortunately.

Yuan Shao saw it.

Even luckier.

Yuan Shao saw that Liu Miao's expression was not the smile that had enraged him.

in contrast.

Liu Miao, who was rumored to be unruly, now had an extremely solemn and dignified expression, somewhat resembling the clay Buddha statue that Yuan Shao had seen in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang when he was young.

His eyes showed neither fear of defeat nor joy of victory, only helplessness and a touch of sadness reflected in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood before him.

Yuan Shao kept a close eye on Liu Miao.

He tried to read Liu Miao's expression and understand Liu Miao's heart.

But even after Liu Miao's appearance was forever etched in his mind, Yuan Shao still couldn't understand Liu Miao, and couldn't see whether he saw himself in Liu Miao's eyes.

However, at this moment, he saw Liu Miao's actions.

Liu Miao slowly raised his slightly rough right hand, along with his arm and the gleaming sword at his waist!
Liu Miao drew his sword!
