The Dark Barbarian Arrives in American Comics

Zhang Liao did not answer Zhang He's questions, but lowered his head and attacked. Zhang He was instantly killed and took two steps back, hoping to stabilize his position and wait for an opportunity to fight back.

But he was surprised to find that the man in front of him didn't make any defense, but just used offense instead of defense.

To put it bluntly, it is a desperate style of play.

Zhang He couldn't stand it anymore.

In fact, Zhang Liao and Zhang He were almost the same in terms of military strength. Even in the original history, Zhang Liao was only named a Marquis of Guannei when he surrendered, while Zhang He was named a partial general and Duting Marquis when he surrendered. Zhang He's starting point was much higher than Zhang Liao's.

But later, as the Cao family fought in all directions, Zhang Liao's status gradually rose and he became the commander-in-chief of one side. He relied on his courage to fight to the death.

Thinking carefully about Zhang Liao's impressive achievements, if he had any worse luck, he would have died early.

Compared to Zhang He, he was much mediocre, but he lived a long time. In the end, he killed all the famous generals of Wei and Shu, and then he showed his face slightly on the battlefield on the Western Front.

That was many years after Zhang Liao's death.

Back to the present situation, Zhang Liao went deep behind enemy lines in this battle, and if he didn't win, he would die, so he naturally chose his usual desperate fighting style.

But Zhang He didn't have that much determination, so he was killed by Zhang Liao and kept retreating.

At this time, Yu Ban looked at the right moment and urged his war horses to move forward.

Facing ordinary soldiers, he killed people as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

He broke out a bloody path among Yuan's army. Cao's army rushed over and lined up in two rows on the left and right, back to back to protect the passage. Zhen Meng quickly let the carriage rush through the passage.

The carriage swayed and the curtains flew up. Sisters Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their hands and feet were cold when they saw the scene of blood and flesh being slaughtered outside.

Their trembling bodies hugged each other tightly, keeping each other warm.

Fortunately, the carriage passed through the passage soon. Yu Jin led his troops to break up the rear, and while blocking Yuan Jun's pursuit, he shouted to Zhang Liao: "It's time to go."

Zhang Liao fired two shots to force Zhang He back, and said coldly: "You are no match for me, and I have no intention of killing you, so why don't we each retreat?"

"Are you from Bingzhou?" Zhang He understood the accent and gritted his teeth and said, "You must be Zhang Liao, right?"

"So what?" Zhang Liao was not afraid that the other party would recognize him.

Anyway, it was Yuan Shao who made the trick this time, so we can’t blame them for coming across the border to protect the young lady.

Zhang Liao raised his spear and said, "If you don't accept it, come back and fight again!"

Zhang He looked at the general behind Zhang Liao with a cold face. Although he didn't take a close look just now, judging from his record, he must be a ruthless character.

It was already difficult for him to match just Zhang Liao, and with that general, there was no chance of him winning at all.

"Retreat!" Zhang He turned his horse's head and led all the soldiers back.

Zhang Liao led his troops in Jin to protect the vehicles and continued to move forward.

After passing through Zhang Heshe's road jam, the journey was smooth without any obstacles. After a long journey, we arrived at Liyang.

They followed the passage outside Liyang City and came directly to the Yellow River Ferry in the south of the city.

I saw about two thousand soldiers lined up neatly at the ferry. Among them, there was a man dressed as a counselor astride a horse in the middle. It was Feng Ji.

Zhang Liao glanced at Yu Jin and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it will be another fierce battle. As per the old rules, I will capture and kill the enemy general while you protect the young lady on board the ship."

Yu Jin chuckled and said: "When did it become your old rule to capture and kill enemy generals? Can't I, Yu Jin, kill the enemy?"

Zhang Liao said: "This is not the time for a dispute. It is easy to capture the enemy general, but the task of protecting the young lady is more important."

Yu Jin heard that this was reasonable and stopped arguing with Zhang Liao.

At this time, there were only about 500 people left in Cao's army. Zhang Liao counted 300 soldiers, all of whom he recruited from the Bingzhou Army. He took the lead and led these old subordinates to charge towards Yuan's army.

Yu Jinze led the remaining 200 people back to back and surrounded the carriage with spears facing outwards, and slowly moved towards the ferry.

Feng Ji, who was in Yuan's army formation, ordered to a captain next to him: "Go and take down the carriage. Don't let it cross the river."

"No!" The captain led his five hundred troops to outflank the carriage.

Yu Jin stood astride his horse and held his spear across the carriage, guarding the carriage. When Yuan Jun rushed over, he rushed forward like lightning and first blocked the enemy's outpost for the soldiers.

Those who rushed forward were all blocked by Cao's army. The chariots and horses continued to move forward slowly without any hindrance.

When the captain of Yuan's army saw that his army, which was several times larger than Cao's army, could not stop the carriage, he screamed angrily and went to meet it himself.

Yu Jin raised his gun, and with one shot knocked the nameless Captain Yuan Jun off his horse.

When the pursuing soldiers saw that all the captains were dead, they looked at each other in shock. Then they saw Yu Jin's majestic appearance and the tip of his spear pointed downwards was still dripping with blood. They immediately dispersed.

Yu Jin sneered and led two hundred soldiers to quickly seize the ferry and seize the ferry.

Zhen Meng and other young men from the Zhen family helped Sister Zhen Jiang out and onto the bow of the boat.

At this time, the battle at the ferry also became intense.

Feng Ji originally thought that leading two thousand troops to guard the ferry would be a sure thing, but he didn't expect that he would meet Zhang Liao, a general who liked to attack enemy positions.

Although Zhang Liao only had three hundred troops under his command, under his leadership, he suddenly got into a posture of three thousand and rushed towards Feng Ji.

Among the military formations, only Feng Ji was riding a horse, so he was easy to identify.

At this time, there were no strong generals in Yuan's army, only a few nameless captains, who were completely vulnerable to Zhang Liao's hands.

Zhang Liao was in the midst of Yuan's army, his spear flying up and down, as if he was in a deserted place, and he had already reached a dozen steps away from Fengji as he spoke.

Feng Ji was horrified, as he was also a coward, so he quickly turned his horse and fled.

Zhang Liao was about to catch up when he was about to catch up, but he heard Yu Jin shouting loudly from behind: "Stop chasing, get on the boat and retreat!"

Only then did Zhang Liao remember that his main task was to protect the young lady, so he could only spit at Feng Ji's back, turn his horse back to the ferry and get on the boat.

The ferry slowly left the ferry and headed towards the middle of the river.

At this time, Feng Ji led his men and horses to chase him back. When he saw that the ferry could no longer be stopped, he couldn't help but feel frustrated. He sat on his horse and shouted loudly: "You, General Cao, dare to sneak into our territory and kidnap a woman.

Don't you know that that woman's reputation has been ruined long ago by having an affair with a servant?

If you take her back, are you going to be Cao Ang's wife?"

On the ferry, Zhen Jiang's beautiful face had no color at all, and even her lips were pale.

She shook her head repeatedly and murmured to herself: "No, he is spreading rumors. It's not like that. I didn't..."

"This person deserves to be killed." Zhang Liao had also heard a little bit about those things in Hebei. Looking at the situation before him, it was probably this person who did it.

He stood at the bow of the ship, casually took a hard bow from the soldier's hand, bent the bow and set an arrow, and with a "swish" sound, the arrow flew like a meteor chasing the moon, and shot Feng Ji off his horse with one arrow.

He shouted sternly to the shore: "Zhang Liao is here, anyone who disrespects my young lady will die!"

The sound was like a loud bell, and the Yuan Jun soldiers on the shore were frightened by his momentum. They rolled and crawled involuntarily and took two steps back.

"Wow... uncle is so majestic..." Zhen Mi held her cheeks in her hands and looked at Zhang Liao, her eyes full of stars.

Zhen Jiang's pale face finally had a trace of blood, her eyes were full of tears, and she screamed sadly at the surging Yellow River.

Before, everyone laughed at her and ridiculed her, but no one could stand up for her.

Zhang Liao's roar just now scared those people into running away, and also let out some of the resentment she had accumulated for so long.

For the first time, she felt that the young lady's identity was so powerful.

At this time, Zhen Mi blinked her eyes like paint, looked at Zhang Liao, and said worriedly: "Uncle Zhang, although you are very powerful, but you have killed so many Yuan soldiers, what will they do if they deal with my parents?"

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it is available on both Android and Apple.]

Zhang Liao secretly praised this little girl for being very smart. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord has already written a letter to Mr. Yuan.

Now my lord and the Yuan family are still in alliance, and Yuan Shao is also a person who understands the overall situation. This is just a small matter, and Yuan Shao will definitely not betray our alliance because of this matter."

In fact, what Zhang Liao said is right. The battle between "Shu Meng" and "Shao Meng" is not over yet.

As a side of Shao's alliance, Cao Cao also had to help Yuan Shao resist Yuan Shu, while Yuan Shao also had to concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Zan who had just gained Youzhou.

Therefore, Yuan Shao was angry in his heart, but he would never dare to betray the alliance at this time and go to deal with the Zhen family blatantly.

"That puts me at ease," Zhen Mi smiled, her eyes turning into crescent moons.

The ferry soon arrived at the south bank of the Yellow River, where Baima County was, and it had entered the Cao family's territory.

Thousands of soldiers lined up neatly, with bright armor, flags fluttering, and the sound of hunting.

Seeing Zhen Jiang get off the ferry, everyone knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Welcome, Madam!

Welcome young lady!

Welcome young lady!"

The sound resounded through the sky, even overshadowing the surging Yellow River water.

Zhen Jiang had never seen such a posture before, and was so frightened that he could only hold on.

Zhen Mi, on the other hand, was not afraid. She thought it was fun and said crisply: "Everyone, get up."

"No!" The soldiers stood up in unison.

"Wow...they actually listened to me..."

Zhen Mi opened her eyes wide, looked at her sister in surprise, and danced excitedly.

"Mi'er, don't mess around," Zhen Jiang scolded his sister, glanced at Zhang Liao and Yu Jin sheepishly, and lowered his head shyly.

At this time, dozens of middle-aged women came over, bowed their knees to the Zhen sisters and said, "The servants are here to greet and serve the young lady on the order of the madam. Please get in the car."

Cao Ang's marriage has always been Mrs. Ding's top concern. Now she is finally going to Hebei to meet her bride. Mrs. Ding has already made various arrangements.

The leading woman waved, and a dozen luxurious and tall carriages drove by.

"Please Madam, please get in the car." The woman helped Sister Zhen Jiang onto the carriage shaft. Once inside, the carriage was very spacious, and four people seated there did not feel crowded at all.

And there are several brocade boxes inside.

The woman opened the brocade box, which was full of gold and silver jewelry and festive wedding clothes.

The servant said: "As ordered by the madam, let the young madam try on the jewelry and clothes first. The eldest young master is currently leading an army to go on an expedition. When the young master comes back, he can perform the wedding ceremony with the young madam."

"This dress is so beautiful..." Zhen Mi touched Jifu, which was embroidered with cloud patterns with gold thread, and her eyes widened. "This hairpin is so beautiful, too, and there are so many pendants."

"Mi'er," Zhen Jiang tapped her sister's little hand that was about to move, and then smiled, her beautiful eyes moving, looking forward to her appearance.

The two women who were responsible for serving were stunned at the same time, thinking that there were such stunning beauties in the world.

Only such a woman can be worthy of the eldest son.

"Sister, you smiled, you smiled," Zhen Mi clapped her hands excitedly.

"Have I?" Zhen Jiang touched her cheek, feeling embarrassed.

She was crying all day long for several days, thinking about how to die. Then looking at her eyes, it all seemed like a dream.

She was really looking forward to it now, wanting to see what her future husband would look like and whether, as her sister said, military commanders didn't have a very good temper.

…

Let's talk about Cao Ang. He led an army of 30,000 to attack Luyang City.

Ever since he started fighting, he had always pitted a weak army against a strong enemy. Only this time, the number of soldiers on both sides was equal.

Moreover, under his command was the elite Cao army, which was well-equipped, but under Yang Feng was the Baibo army, a mixture of dragons and snakes.

Furthermore, he has three generals under his command: Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Tai Shi Ci. Any one of them can defeat Xu Huang under Yang Feng.

All in all, this is a war of bullying and there is no suspense at all.

That's what he thought from the beginning.

But when they arrived in Luyang, they discovered that Yang Feng had completely occupied the city, and fortified the walls and cleared the fields. He burned all the surrounding houses and robbed all the food. After transporting it into the city, the four gates were tightly closed and the city was fortified to defend it. This was a disadvantage.

Cao Ang had a problem.

Although Cao Ang always adhered to the principle of "attacking the city first", he did not like to send troops to forcibly attack the city.

But now Yang Feng obviously regards Luyang City as his home base. No matter how Cao Ang threatens and induces him, he will not leave the city under any circumstances.

So Cao Ang had no choice but to send troops to attack.

However, Yang Feng had been prepared in advance. He erected many rough logs on the battlements at the top of the city and tied all the people to the rough logs to serve as human shields.

If Cao's army wanted to shoot arrows with their backs raised, they would inevitably hit innocent people. However, the Baibo army defending the city hid in the grooves of the crenellations, ready to fight back at any time against the attacking Cao's army.

After attacking like this for two consecutive days, the city was not moved at all, but Cao's army suffered thousands of losses. This was the first time Cao Ang had encountered this situation since he led the army in the war.

"Stop attacking today," Cao Ang said in the Chinese army's tent, biting the dry skin on his lips and looking in the direction of Luyang City.

Zhao Yun said from the side: "My lord, in siege warfare, it is important to go all out in one go and then fail three times until it is exhausted. We have been attacking for two days in a row. If we stop today, all the manpower and material resources spent in these two days will be in vain."

"The losses in a strong attack are too great, so we have to find another way," Cao Ang said, shaking his head.

Dian Wei said angrily: "But this Yang Feng has become a fool. I'm afraid he won't leave the city anyway. What else can be done?"

"There are always better ways to attack the city," Cao Ang said: "I had sent craftsmen to make a Lugong chariot in Yangliting before, and it will be delivered in two days."

"What is Lu Gongcha?" Zhao Yuntai Shi Cidian and Wei Sanjiang asked at the same time.
