C17 Retreat

"Lord Luo!" "Regret!"

Two cries of surprise came from the direction of the city. Luo Yang shot his spear into the head of a yellow-robed soldier. When he turned his head, he saw Huang Zhong and Wen Jing running from the city with a bunch of soldiers. On the other hand, Huang Zhong was carrying a head. Although the face of the head couldn't be seen clearly, one could guess that it was the head of a soldier from the Yellow Gown Army who met Huang Zhong.

With the addition of Huang Zhong and Wen Ju as well as the several hundred soldiers they brought, it was much easier for Luo Yang to move forward. The two armies once again turned the tides. However, Liu Ping and Gong Gong weren't in a hurry. Right now, the Yellow Gown Army outside the city had already occupied the city walls. The army would continuously rush into the city and this Nanyang City would be doomed to be breached!

Seeing that the soldiers were gradually gaining the upper hand, Liu Ping waved his hand and commanded the yellow-robed soldiers and Gong Du to retreat towards the city wall. There was no point in fighting these soldiers head on. One had to know that they were the elites of the Yellow Gathered Army. As long as they could minimize the sacrifices of these elite soldiers, it would be easier for them to explain it to Zhang Mancheng.

The reason why Liu Ping and Gong Du had retreated was to allow Luo Yang, Huang Zhong, and Wen Jing to reunite with them. Rushing to Luo Yang's side, Huang Zhong quickly asked: "Regret! How are you? You're not hurt, right? "

Only now did Luo Yang see clearly that the head in Huang Zhong's hand was the head of the yellow-robed general, Zhao Hong. Seeing Luo Yang staring at Zhao Hong's head, Wen Jing felt a little embarrassed and said: "Master Luo!" This little one has disappointed my lord. If not for General Huang's timely appearance, I'm afraid this little one would have fallen into the hands of this thief general instead! "

Only then did Luo Yang realize that although Zhao Hong's martial arts was not bad, he was still far from Huang Zhong's peak level. He was afraid that Zhao Hong might have met Huang Zhong and been beheaded by Huang Zhong during his fight with Wen Jing. Towards this question, Luo Yang did not pursue it any further and turned to Huang Zhong: "General Huang! What happened at the east gate? Why are you here? "

Huang Zhong spat towards the yellow-robed soldier that had just appeared and shouted: "I knew it! There was not a single shadow to be seen at the east gate. It was obvious that these bandits had all run over here! That's right! He had also found the reason for the appearance of these damned bandits in the city! They had actually dug a tunnel from outside the city, directly leading to the courtyard within the city! "However, I have already ordered the entrance to the underground passage to be blocked!"

Tunnel? Luo Yang wanted to slap himself! Why hadn't he thought of this! The plan to guard against this kind of siege was very simple. All they needed to do was to dig a chasm beside the city walls!

But now, no matter how much Luo Yang regretted, it was too late. Looking at the wave of the yellow-robed army that was pouring down from the top of the city, Luo Yang turned to Huang Zhong and shouted: "General Huang! This place could no longer be guarded! We retreat! Retreat to County Governor Manor! "

The reason why Lou Yang made such a choice was because there were still some of Chu Gong's personal guards in County Governor Manor. Furthermore, they could be considered to be in danger in County Governor Manor. Huang Zhong also understood this logic and immediately nodded in agreement: "Regret! Take your men and retreat! I'll cover the rear! " As he spoke, he brandished the large saber in his hand and held it horizontally across his chest, with a posture of 'one man against ten thousand'.

Luo Yang also stopped acting pretentiously. Amongst everyone, Huang Zhong's martial arts was the best, and it was more appropriate for him to cut off the back. Luo Yang immediately waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers: "Back off! Retreat! Retreat! Wen Fu! You will clear the way in front! " The reason why he chose the employment of a mere pawn was because of its reputation in history. Although he was still a brat at the moment, his reputation as a person and the future general of Jing Prefecture must be extraordinary!

Sure enough, Wen Hou didn't disappoint Luo Yang's expectations. He responded with a shout and rushed to the front with a single saber in his hand. Coincidentally, there were a few lone yellow-robed soldiers running towards them. A cold light flashed in Wen Fu's eyes as he shouted, "You're courting death!" He raised his hand and swung his saber, slashing down on the several soldiers of the Yellow Gowned Army one by one.

With Wen Jing and Huang Zhong leading the way, Luo Yang led the remaining two hundred soldiers and retreated into the city. Seeing the soldiers retreat so straightforwardly, Liu Ping and Gong Gong couldn't help but be stunned. Originally, they thought that these soldiers would continue to fight against the yellow-robed soldiers, but they didn't expect them to retreat so straightforwardly. Liu Fei and Gong looked at each other and Gong immediately yelled out, "You can't let these soldiers escape! Brothers! Kill! "

Liu Fei wanted to stop him, but after thinking for a moment, he decided against it. After all, if they allowed these soldiers to escape into the city and engage in street fighting with the Yellow Gown Army, it would be a troublesome matter. He immediately clenched his teeth and followed Gong Du. He brought the yellow-robed soldiers that he had finally managed to retreat to the city walls and rushed forward again.

"Humph!" However, Huang Zhong, who was in charge of the rear, snorted coldly. He looked at Liu Fei and Gong Du, who were charging at the front, and a light flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't rush to take action. When Liu Ping and Gong Hou both arrived in front of him, Huang Zhong suddenly swung his hand and slashed the broad sabre from bottom to top, directly aiming at Liu Ping's and Gong Du's hands.

The speed of Huang Zhong's slash shocked Liu Fei and Gong Du. They were the ones who made the first move, but Huang Zhong's blade could catch up. The two could only forcefully withdraw their hands. However, they could not withdraw the weapons in their hands. With two loud clangs, the sabers and spears in their hands were immediately cut into two halves by Huang Zhong's broadsword! Huang Zhong didn't give them a chance to react. He took a big step forward and grabbed the nearest person, Liu Ping, by the collar with one hand. Like a little chick, he pulled Liu Ping over.

Gong Du, who was on the side, naturally couldn't watch helplessly as his good friend was captured by Huang Zhong. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ping's arm, and at the same time threw the saber shaft in his hand towards Huang Zhong, wanting to force him to let go. But what kind of person was Huang Zhong? How could he let Gong Du succeed with this little trick? Grabbing Liu Fei's hand was like casting iron. No matter how Liu Fei and Gong Du tried to pull him, they could not move him at all. As for the other hand, he was holding a large blade. He moved it up and down in front of him and easily knocked away the other half of the blade pole thrown at him by Gong Du.

Seeing that the yellow-clothed soldiers were about to rush up to save their superiors, Huang Zhong saw that the officers and soldiers had already retreated, so he didn't have the patience to continue pestering them. With a twist of his wrist, he used the back of his blade to knock out Liu Tao and Gong Man. Then, he dragged the two of them and threw them towards the soldiers behind him. From the scene just now, Huang Zhong knew that these two were certainly generals of the Yellow Gown Army. There might be some use in capturing them alive, so he did not kill them. When the soldiers had tied up Liu Ping and Gong Hou and brought them away, Huang Zhong pushed back the soldiers that were approaching with his saber. Suddenly, he took a few steps back and turned around, changing the broadsword in his hand into an arrow.

"Yes!" Huang Zhong yelled, and the four arrows on his iron bow immediately shot out, accurately hitting the throats of the four yellow-robed soldiers at the front. However, how could the arrow that Huang Zhong shot be that simple? After hitting the target, the arrow did not stop and directly pierced through the throat of the yellow-robed soldiers. With a strong force, it continued to fly towards the yellow-robed soldiers behind them. One of the arrows had actually managed to kill seven of the soldiers before finally coming to a stop at the shoulder of the eighth soldier. Although it hadn't killed him, it was enough for him to lose the ability to fight.

This move of Huang Zhong's had forcefully damaged the momentum of the yellow-robed soldiers. However, seeing that their superior had been captured by the soldiers, these yellow-robed soldiers only paused for a moment before continuing to charge forward. Moreover, the army of the Yellow Gown Army that had rushed in from outside the city had already merged with them. At this moment, there were more than a thousand of them in the city, and with their advantage in numbers, their fear of Huang Zhong's terrifying archery skills was diluted by quite a bit.

Huang Zhong was a fierce general who dared to go out of the city and fight against hundreds of thousands of yellow-clothed soldiers, how could he be scared by such a small formation? "Immediately, he retreated several steps and shot out a few more arrows. Relying on his amazing arm strength and the help of the iron bow, he was able to hold back the enemy forces that numbered over a thousand by himself.

After retreating several times, Huang Zhong touched the quiver on his back, but it was empty. He had already used up all the arrows he had prepared. Huang Zhong didn't hesitate any longer and immediately turned around and ran into the city. Although he was a bit impulsive, he was not a fool. He couldn't really believe that he could fight against hundreds of thousands of enemy troops by himself.

The moment Huang Zhong turned around and retreated, he heard a loud bang from behind him. It was a group of yellow-clothed soldiers who took advantage of this time to open the city gate. This time, the army of the Yellow Gown Army outside the city had no more obstructions. They began to officially charge into the city. Under the illumination of the flames inside the city, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Gown Army soldiers surged out of the city gate like a yellow tide. The leader of the three riders was Sun Xia on the left, Han Zhong on the right, and right in the middle was the commander of the South Sun Yellow Gown Army, Zhang Mancheng!

Zhang Mancheng waved his spear as he shouted to the army of Yellow Gowned Army behind him, "Brothers! Charge! Everything that we got is yours! "
