Huang Zhong heeds the order, he asks if Lie Fan will participate in the battle and receives an affirmative from Lie Fan. When Huang Zhong tried to persuade him, Lie Fan waved his hand indicating that he had decided. Lie Fan wanted to try the power he had accumulated through intense cultivation and drinking the potions he had.
Huang Zhong returned to the army camp and began assembling 50,000 soldiers. Dian Wei, Zang Ba, Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Ze Rong Lie Fan's top general fathered on the main tent. They want to know the reason Huang Zhong suddenly raised the troops after coming back from meeting Lie Fan.
Huang Zhong explained to them that 200,000 Yellow Turban remnants rose up in Qing Province, and Kong Rong the Chancellor of Beihai asked for help as he was now besieged in Duchang. Everyone was excited as this was a chance to gain merit, especially for Dian Wei and Ze Rong who can be said newcomers in the ranks.
It may be weird why none of the generals ask Husng Zhong if their 50,000 soldiers can defeat 200,000 Yellow Turbans because each and every one of them has participated in the battle against the Yellow Turbans in their own way and knows how weak the combat capabilities of the Yellow Turbans.
They only have the advantage of numbers, numbers are important but without proper training and equipment sooner or later they will be defeated. Lie Fan's war engine began to light up, people of Xiapi knew that Lie Fan would send soldiers to Qing Province to exterminate rebels there.
The many youths of Xiapi clamored to volunteer to join the Army, Lie Fan let Huang Zhong choose 1,000 of the best youths and form a battalion under his command. Huang Zhong at night reported to Lie Fan that they could only muster 40,000 as the other 10,000 were stationed in Xiaopei.
Lie Fan ordered for them to be called back, he forgot that 10,000 were in Xiaopei as laborers for the finished most being built for Xiaopei Defences. Xiaopei now become more defensible from future attacks, especially coming from Yan or Yu Province.
Thinking that this could delay them in helping Kong Rong, Lie Fan called for Jia Xu to use the Orioles to inform the 10,000 soldiers from Xiaopei to immediately march to Langye while they waited for them there.
After Huang Zhong and Jia Xu left his residence, Ying Yue and Diao Chan who heard Lie Fan would go to battle were afraid for his wellbeing. Ying Yue is not as nervous because she has experienced this feeling of waiting for Lie Fan to come back from battle, Diao Chan on the other hand even cries a little afraid that something could happen to Lie Fan.
Lie Fan feels warmth and distress at the same time, he is afraid of what will happen to both Ying Yue and Diao Chan if he falls in battle, especially from his political enemies. Lie Fan comforted both of them and promised to protect himself and he will bring his bodyguards along with him so they can be rest assured.
That night to comfort both of his wives, Lie Fan makes the three of them sleep together in his quarters. No adult things, just sleep together in the same room. Diao Chan and Ying Yue each sleep beside him, and Lie Fan in the middle hugs the two of them tightly while saying words of comfort.
The next morning, Lie Fan woke up from his sleep and he got up from his bed lightly. Lie Fan adorned his armor after taking a bath, he kissed Ying Yue and Diao Chan on the forehead After that he took out his halberd from inventory and then together with his bodyguards went to the stable on Lie Clan residence and went on their horses.
At the northern gate of Xiapi, 30,000 soldiers have been assembled in their formation waiting for Lie Fan, Huang Zhong the highest-ranking general is leading the army at the front of the formation. Lie Fan's advisors who followed him to the battle were Jia Xu and Xun You, the rest stayed at Xiapi to handle the government.
Lie Fan riding Pangu goes to the front of the formation, his battalion The Guard Battalion now numbered 5,000 men is waiting for him there alongside 1,000 youth from Xiapi who become a battalion under his command. Chao Bai is the commander of 13,000 infantries, Huang Zhong is the commander of 7,000 archers, and Zang Ba is the commander of 13,000 cavalries.
Chao Bo and Ze Rong are leading 2,000 men of the logistical battalion, and Dian Wei is assigned to his Guard battalion becoming his second in command. Jia Xu and Xun You are protected by Oriole members so they have their own personal protection.
Lie Fan: "Everyone! Today we are advancing to the Qing Province to help our brothers who were besieged by Yellow Turban remnants that dared to rise again! Let's show them why we are the menace to Yellow Turbans in our previous wars and subjugations, making them never even think to rise again!"
Everyone: "Hoahh!!!"
Lie Fan: "Then let's march! Whoever contributes the highest merits will be rewarded handsomely!"
Lie Fan's army morale rose through the roof, especially when they heard they could receive a handsome reward for whoever contributed the biggest merit. Lie Fan led the march of his army, They spent a week before arriving at Langye where 10,000 soldiers from Xiaopei arrived the next day when Lie Fan stationed his army to rest.
Now numbering 51,000 men Lie Fan led them to Duchang spending 3 weeks before they reached the outskirts of Duchang. Along the way, they encounter groups scattered yellow turbans army, numbering between 3,000 to 5,000 men.
Lie Fan allowed his armies to slaughter them and in the end, they captured 5,000 yellow turbans whom Lie Fan turned into the prisoner army as a meat shield for his armies.
Jia Xu and Xun You predicted that because Beihai hasn't fallen yet and Kong Rong is still alive fighting in Duchang the 200,000 are now not united under one command and scattered throughout Qing Province.
Jia Xu has also sent words to the Oriole members who keep an eye on Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong to incorporate the armies they managed to recruit. Taishi Chi follows Lie Fan's army and is stationed alongside Dian Wei, The two men immediately hit off with their brash personalities in combat and sense of justice.
Lie Fan stationed his army on the outskirts of Duchang waiting for Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong to bring the reinforcements should we say of the Yellow Turbans they managed to recruit. In the command tent, Lie Fan takes out the Vision Map and puts it on the table.
Jia Xu and Xun You love the detailed map that Lie Fan has of the Country. Lie Fan can see on the map that Kong Rong now only had 20,000 troops and was being besieged by 100,000 Yellow Turban in the small city of Duchang.
The rest of the Yellow Turbans are scattered throughout Qing Province, and he can see that a group of 10,000 yellow turbans are marching towards their location. Lie Fan can see that Zhang Macheng and Zhao Hong are the leaders as they are his subordinates so at least they will have 66,000 soldiers alongside 20,000 of Kong Rong becoming 86,000.
Lie Fan and his army waited for 2 days before Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong finally arrived bringing 10,000 Yellow Turbans to incorporate into his army alongside a Yellow Turban general named Guan Hai. Lie Fan was happy that they brought Guan Hai, he could be assigned to become his bodyguard.
Lie Fan immediately assembled his army and they marched to Duchang, on Duchang Kong Rong led his army to defend Duchang against the besiegement of the Yellow Turbans. He is now waiting for his reinforcement to come Fortunately, Duchang is stocked with plenty of supplies and the Yellow Turbans are inexperienced and under-equipped for siege battle.
When Kong Rong and his 20,000 men fought against the 100,000 Yellow Turbans, suddenly rains of arrows crashed down on the Yellow Turbans. Kong Rong's army and the Yellow Turbans were surprised by this, The Yellow Turban's Flank then was attacked by 15,000 cavalry, and on the horizon Lie Fan's banner could be seen with infantries and archers marching.
The Yellow Turbans immediately separated 50,000 of them under their leader Huang Shao, The Qing Yellow Turbans had 2 leaders which was Zhang Rao and Huang Shao who both had experience in military command.
The 15,000 cavalry that attacked the Yellow Turbans' flank was a 5,000-guard battalion under Lie Fan's lead and 10,000 Cavalries under Zang Ba. While the yellow turbans were organizing 50,000 soldiers to face Lie Fan's army, their flank was under heavy attack by Lie Fan's cavalries.
Lie Fan now has reached a new height of his power, With Dian Wei they sliced through the Yellow Turban soldier easily like a paper. Lie Fan and Zang Ba both lead their respective battalion to pierce through the Yellow Turbans' formation and turn around before they reach the Duchang walls.
Lie Fan's cavalries have used the arched saddle and their horses are covered with medium armor so they don't have casualties but they receive injuries. Kong Romg who saw their reinforcement had arrived, led his soldiers to fire all of their arrows and even drop heavy things at the Yellow Turbans who were under the wall.
Lie Fan and Zang Ba led their battalion returning to the safety. Huang Shao who has managed to group up 50,000 yellow turbans led them to face off against Lie Fan's 66,000 soldiers. Lie Fan walks to the front of his army formation and shouts to the Yellow Turbans.
Lie Fan: "All of you, I'm Lie Fan Governor Of Xu Province! You all should have heard about me! I ordered you to surrender yourself and you can live! You should have known what happened to the Yellow Turbans who faced me and my army in battle!"
Huang Shao: "So it's you Lie Fan! We will avenge Master Zhang Jiao's death, we will offer your blood to him in our sacred ceremony! Prepare yourselves!"
The Yellow Turbans and Lie Fan's Army prepared themselves, and under the order of Lie Fan and Huang Shao respectively, the respective infantries battalion of both armies began to face off. Lie Fan's infantries march under a neat formation and high discipline, while the Yellow Turbans just run wildly to attack Lie Fan's infantries.

The Yellow Turbans and Lie Fan's Army prepared themselves, and under the order of Lie Fan and Huang Shao respectively, the respective infantries battalion of both armies began to face off. Lie Fan's infantries march under a neat formation and high discipline, while the Yellow Turbans just run wildly to attack Lie Fan's infantries.
Chao Bai alongside Guan Hai led 25,000 infantries to the Yellow Turbans infantries, The Yellow Turbans soldiers who were incorporated from Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong were stationed at the front before the prisoner's army. Their formation is a bit loosened than Lie Fan's trained infantries but they will do the job as a meat shield.
Before the clash between the infantries happened, Huang Zhong led 15,000 archers to shoot their arrows. Their target is the Yellow Turbans who will clash with their infantries, 15,000 arrows rained down on the Yellow Turban.
Huang Shao is an experienced military commander, he saw that the enemies were shooting their arrows and told his soldiers to raise their shields. Unfortunately, the Yellow Turbans formation is scattered, and the order isn't received by all Yellow Turbans.
The Yellow Turbans who didn't receive the orders, were shot down by the arrows raining upon them. Huang Shao instantly ordered the archers he had to shoot the opposite Infantries, The Yellow Turbans archers were only 5,000 out of the 50,000 men under Huang Shao's command.
Their arrows do massive damage to the meat shield that was prepared by Lie Fan, while Lie Fan's main infantries all raise their shield while they keep advancing. The clash was inevitable, Zhang Rao the other Yellow Turbans leader hastened their attack on Duchang where Kong Rong's army put up a heavy fight against him.
Chao Bai and Guan Hai tear apart the Yellow Turban soldiers, while the infantries follow behind them. The Yellow Turbans who saw Guan Hai and former Yellow Turbans who joined Lie Fan's side were confused, due to their distraction they received massive casualties.
Huang Shao who was commanding the Yellow Turbans from the center, received a report from a Yellow Turban soldier beside him that there were Yellow Turbans who had sided with the enemy. Huang Shao was shocked if there were Yellow Turbans who joined the enemy his soldiers had high chances of doing the same.
While the infantries are fighting, Huang Zhong is given command by Lie Fan to handle this theater. Lie Fan brings the Cavalry Battalion and Guard Battalion to attack the Yellow Turbans who were besieging Duchang.
Lie Fan now guarded by 8 bodyguards, leads the Guard Battalion from the front alongside Dian Wei They attack the left flank while Zang Ba attacks the right flank. Lie Fan is using the old tactic he used when he fought against the Yellow Turbans before.
Zhang Rao's command tent was in panic, enemy cavalry attacking them in a vulnerable position where siege ladders were put alongside the walls and their makeshift battering ram was a vulnerable target.
Zhang Rao: "Bastards! Ling Yu and Gu Yao, lead the brothers at the right and left flank to stop the cavalries! That incompetent Huang Shao can't even hold off the Imperial Armies!"
Ling Yu: "Brother, I received a report that the leader of this army is Lie Fan the one who killed our Big Brother Zhang Jiao! Can our army truly defeat him?! He and the other Imperial Generals managed to defeat 2 million of our brothers before!"
Gu Yao: "What Ling Yu is saying true Brother! Why don't we pull back and recover our strength?!"
Zhang Rao: "Bastards! Our only choice now is to take control of Duchang and take Long Rong as our hostage! Do you really think if we retreat, these Imperial Dogs will just let us go?! Now go and do my order!"
Ling Yu and Gu Yao immediately leave the command tent, and Zhang Rao now is looking at the map in front of him. He was arrogant before seeing the pieces of Yellow Turban besieging Duchang, but now many of those pieces are put in another location to hold off the main army of the Imperials Reinforcement.
Ling Yu and Gu Yao both led the right and left flanks, They managed to halt the onslaught caused by Zang Ba's battalion and Lie Fan's Battalion. Cavalries without mobility are just sitting ducks, Yellow Turban soldiers began to swarm the cavalries under the leadership of Ling Yu and Gu Yao.
Zang Ba and his 15,000 cavalries struggle against the swarm, and only Zang Ba is the powerhouse in his battalion while on Lie Fan's side, there's Dian Wei and his bodyguards so his side fighting points are lower. Lie Fan sees the precarious situation, he doesn't want to lose many cavalries as they are the hardest to train.
Lie Fan and Dian Wei led the Guard Battalion through the front, Using the crazy strength both of them have they managed to break through the swarm tactics, and the Guard Battalion who saw the gap made by Lie Fan and Dian Wei pushed through that gap.
Gu Yao was in awe seeing that Lie Fan and Dian Wei both used brute strength to punch through the swarm tactic he deployed, He could feel his legs shaking as he knew that those two weren't his opponent not even close. The weird masked soldiers guard Lie Fan tightly, he even feels intimidated by them.
Gu Yao ordered the Yellow Turbans to hold their position and keep Lie Fan in place, Gu Yao is just like a Soviet general in World War 2 sending its troops to charge to their death. The Yellow Turbans under Zhang Rao and Huang Shao are formed through bandits, thugs, and deserters, and the rest are farmers who still believe in the cause.
The Yellow Turbans who have criminal backgrounds like bandits and thugs began to drop their weapons and run away, who dared to face Lie Fan and Diam Wei who is like a meat grinder right now. Gu Yao killed the people who tried to run away, at least their bodies could become obstacles to the horses that's what he thought.
Lie Fan and Dian Wei slowly gain more and more momentum, Thanks to many Yellow Turbans not daring to cross paths with the two of them the Guard Battalion finally manages to push through and gain momentum to help Zang Ba and his battalion albeit with some casualties.
Gu Yao who saw this cursed under his breath, and led the Yellow Turbans on the left flank to chase Lie Fan and his battalion. Zang Ba and his cavalries began to suffer some losses, While they were trained and experienced their armor was not as hard as infantries. Facing a large number of enemies and without mobility, some of the men were stabbed here and there.
Zang Ba's heart was in pain seeing one by one some of his men fall, they were battle-hardened veteran who was very valuable. Zang Ba knows that if he doesn't manage to find a gap or make one, they will be picked one by one by the Yellow Turbans. Ling Yu who saw that his tactic worked was ecstatic, he personally went up to the front and joined the melee.
Ling Yu is more arrogant and hot-headed than Gu Yao, he is the commander but lets his emotions cloud his judgment. Ling Yu and Zang Ba come face to face, Zang Ba sees that this man is different from the rest and is protected. Thinking that he finally found a gap he began to advance toward Ling Yu's location.
Following Zang Ba, the cavalries began to advance slowly while slashing Yellow Turbans left and right receiving counterattacks from them also. Ling Yu saw that the cavalries were heading toward his location, filled with reckless courage after killing a singled-out cavalry he led his men to attack the cavalries.
Zang Ba and Ling Yu enter a duel, When they clash against each other Lie Fan and Dian Wei with the Guard Battalion finally arrive at their location. Seeing Zang Ba is dueling against a weaker opponent, Lie Fan lets that happen while he and Dian Wei separate the Guard Battalion and using momentum clean up the Yellow Turbans surrounding the cavalry battalion.
Lie Fan's arrival helped lessen the burden of the Cavalry Battalion, The cavalry battalion followed Dian Wei and Lie Fan to search for momentum, and at that moment Zang Ba managed to slash Ling Yu killing him. The Yellow Turbans at the right flank losing its leader began to grow chaotic among its rank.
Gu Yao who saw the left flank suddenly on the verge of collapse felt something wrong, he hastened his speed, and before he arrived Lie Fan led the Cavalry Battalion and Guad Battalion to escape the encirclement. They were heading toward his location and before Gu Yao could put up a fight, Dian Wei using his twin halberd beheaded Gu Yao.
Kong Rong saw that the Yellow Turbans who were besieging them were in chaos, He allowed the 20,000 soldiers under his command to open the gate and help Lie Fan's armies. While the situation on the battlefield is very chaotic, from their north 5,000 infantries are marching toward the battlefield.
It was Liu Bei and his sworn brothers, They marched day and night to help Kong Rong but when they arrived they were welcomed by the sight of the Yellow Turbans slowly losing their ground.
Liu Bei: " Second Brother, Third Brother come let's hurry! Looks like Governor Lie Fan's army has arrived, come Even if our number is small we still need to help Governor Lie Fan!"
Zhang Fei: "Bug Brother looks like we are too late, If we come sooner maybe we will receive bigger merit!"
Liu Bei: "Shush! How could our 5,000 men defeat 100,000 Yellow Turbans?! Governor Lie Fan and Chancellor Kong Rong are loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty which we should help!"
Zhang Fei was silent after being reprimanded by Liu Bei, Guan Yu can only shake his head at the impulsive and hit-headed Zhang Fei which suits his position as the youngest. Huang Zhong who was leasing the archer's battalion saw an army marching toward the Yellow Turbans.
When they grew closer he knew that they were allies, the banner of Han was hoisted alongside a Liu banner. They joined up with Chang Bai infantry battalion and together cleaned the infantries under Huang Shao. Huang Shao saw that he would lose, so he led his remaining men retreating to the command tent.
The Yellow Turban who was abandoned by Huang Shal to fight to the death began to surrender one by one, they knew they were losing the battle and better to live than die. Chao Bai meets up with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei whom he asked to follow him to attack the Yellow Turbans who were besieging Duchang right now.
Huang Zhong and his archer battalion alongside the logistic battalion under Chao Bo and Ze Rong round up the prisoners, At the other theater Lie Fan and Zang Ba respectively lead their battalion breaking through from the left flank and getting out from the sea of Yellow Turbans.
They put some distance from the battlefield, Seeing that Chao Bai was advancing toward the Yellow Turbans, Lie Fan knew that the end of the battle was near. Lie Fan told Zang Ba that when the infantries class with the remaining Yellow Turbans, they will attack their command tent to capture their leaders.
