Capítulo 59: Zhang Liang, the Yellow Turban Hero

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"This type of army can only be recruited in the western protectorates: the Dayuan Cavalry. You know the Dayuan Nation, right? They have high-quality Ferghana horses. In order to procure the Ferghana horses of the Dayuan Nation and open up the silk road, Emperor Wu of Han ordered the Great Commander Li Guangli to attack the Dayuan Nation with an army of several hundred thousand, which cost a huge sum."

Huo An had brought several Dayuan cavalrymen to Xia Town's camp to drink with Chu Tian.

The distance between the western protectorates and Xu Prefecture almost encompassed the entire Eastern Han, so the two of them basically had no conflict of interests, which allowed them to speak freely with each other.

Huo An owned 400 soldiers of the western protectorates, among which were 2 Dayuan cavalrymen.

The Dayuan Cavalry was a Grade 3 cavalry. Huo An even sent Chu Tian the attributes of the Dayuan Cavalry proudly.

[Army type]: Dayuan Light Cavalry

[Status]: Grade 3 cavalry

[Attack power]: 14 [Defense power]: 5 [Speed]: 22

[Skills]: Mid-grade reconnaissance, mid-grade horseback archery, low-grade speed-riding

[Characteristics]: Warriors of the strings (Level D characteristic, slightly enhances the impact of horseback archery)

This was the first time Chu Tian came across a cavalry of the western protectorates.

The troops of the western protectorates were formed by the Han Army of the Han Court and the servant soldiers of the 36 nations of the West. Hence, it was no wonder that Huo An had the Dayuan light cavalry among his troops.

"Can the Ferghana horses be purchased in the western protectorates?"

Chu Tian's best impression of the western protectorates was the Ferghana horses of the Dayuan Nation. Emperor Wu of Han even launched an attack on Dayuan Nation just to seize their Ferghana horses. If he had a cavalry equipped with Ferghana horses…

"Yes, they can, but Ferghana horses cost tens of thousands of gold. When Li Guangli breached Dayuan City back then, he only managed to seize several dozen good horses. Clearly, Ferghana horses are rare."

"Forget it."

Chu Tian lost interest the moment he heard that Ferghana horses cost tens of thousands of gold. Ten thousand taels of gold was already enough to raise a troop; it would be an extravagance to buy a precious horse with that sum of money.

On the last day, waiting for the warfare to begin, Chu Tian brought his cavalry to inspect the surrounding topography.

Opposite the Han Army camp, there were two wooden stockades of the Yellow Turban Army, and between them was a hill, which was occupied by a small troop of Yellow Turban soldiers. It looked down upon the place from above, with the two wooden stockades of the Yellow Turban Army serving as horns, imposing pressure upon the Han Army.

The battlefield of the Guangzong District was further divided into numerous smaller battlefields. On each of the small battlefields, the Han Army was either set in a position of attack or a defensive position. The battlefield was subject to capricity, the swift alteration between attack and defense a common phenomenon.

Chu Tian brought Zhou Yafu, who was adept at leading armies in battles, to observe the topography. Meanwhile, Hua Mulan was asked to protect him.

The commander of the Han Army, Ma Zhangtie had distributed a parchment map to every feudal lord. Chu Tian and Zhou Yafu could correspond the actual topography to that present on the parchment map.

"Conquering the hill will provide a better view, giving the Yellow Turban Army full view of all the moves of the Han Army camp. To sever the Yellow Turban Army's line of sight, the reconnoiters stationed on the hill by the Yellow Turban Army have to be obliterated. 

"If possible, fighting for the hill can be used as a bait to lay ambush, and attract the main force of the Yellow Turban Army out of their camp. Once their main force appears, the soldiers in ambush will rise everywhere, and the outcome can be foreseen."

Zhou Yafu stated his presumption as he viewed the parchment map intently.

"But it's a pity we are not in command this time. It is the commander, Ma Zhangtie."

If Zhou Yafu had been in command of this Han Army camp, it would probably have been a piece of cake for him to defeat the opposing Yellow Turban Army. Nonetheless, Zhou Yafu only had 500 infantrymen from Xia Town at hand. The average status of Xia Town's elite infantry wasn't high either; they were merely of Grade 30.

"Master, we have been noticed by the wandering knight of the Yellow Turban Army. It's time to return to the camp."

Hua Mulan noticed the appearance of several dozen black dots on the horizon, sending sand and dust flying everywhere. 

They were the knights of the Yellow Turban Army, brandishing horse knives in their hands.

The Yellow Turban troop of Guangzong District was the most powerful troop of the Yellow Turban Army. They were experienced in fighting against government officials and were of high status; the Yellow Turban soldiers of Xu Prefecture could never compare to them.

The war between the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army would only begin tomorrow. Killing the Yellow Turban soldiers would bring no rewards for now.

Chu Tian had only brought a dozen cavalrymen for reconnaissance. There was no need to fight with the Yellow Turbans out here all by himself.

In the Yellow Turban Camp on the opposite side, a group of feudal lords who had joined the Yellow Turban Camp were discussing ways to contend with the Han Army.

The Han Army was made up of elites. It was much harder for these lords to kill government officials than to kill Yellow Turban soldiers. However, the rewards were more generous.

"The officials of the Han Army are seasoned professionals of status, ranging from Grade 50 to 70. It may sacrifice three of us to kill one Han official, or even five or ten ordinary soldiers. If I had known this earlier, I might as well have joined the Han Court. The average status of the Yellow Turban soldiers ranges from Grade 10 to 70, but soldiers of lower grades account for the majority."

"I have to get a place in the ranking this time no matter what. I heard that the first-ranking feudal lord in the ranking of the Yellow Turban Camp will receive one of Zhang Jiao's characteristics, and the first-ranking free player will receive a part of Zhang Jiao's skills. Players can only achieve the status of special heroes through historical warfares. Otherwise, we will never be able to keep pace with special heroes."

"Although there are less players in the Yellow Turban Camp, it still isn't easy to attain first place in the ranking. I heard that there's a feudal lord from Hanzhong who brought 3,000 soldiers to join the Yellow Turban Camp, and has gained the favor of the Tiangong General, Zhang Jiao, who received him in person. He will probably become the first-ranking player of the Yellow Turban Camp."

While the hundred feudal lords were engaged in their private discussion, a group of Yellow Turban leaders with heavy builds had escorted a Yellow Turban commander to the camp.

"The heavens have died; the yellow sky shall now stand! The new era has begun, the world will be blessed with peace!"

"The heavens have died; the yellow sky shall now stand! The new era has begun, the world will be blessed with peace!"

The Yellow Turban leaders were extremely zealous. They were the elites of the Yellow Turban Army!

The feudal lords couldn't help but stand, beholding the Yellow Turban commander who arrived with reverence. A Yellow Turban commander who had the privilege of being escorted by a group of Yellow Turban leaders definitely could not be someone ordinary!

Yellow Turban leaders belonged to Grade 3 army, and this Yellow Turban commander had brought along 3,000 Yellow Turban leaders with him!

The Yellow Turban commander in the lead was holding a longspear in his hand. The longspear was inscribed with dragon patterns, gleaming with an icy sheen, making it seem like a divine weapon.

The Yellow Turban commander took a glance at the feudal lords who joined the Yellow Turban Camp. 

"The government officials are powerful. As the Rengong General, Zhang Liang, I am going to command you in person, and we shall destroy the Han Army Camp in the left wing!"

The Rengong General, Zhang Liang!

The feudal lords were astonished when they learned the identity of the Yellow Turban commander.

If Hua Mulan and Zhou Yafu were royal heroes, then the Rengong General, Zhang Liang, would be a diamond-level special hero. Just one grade below the royal heroes!

One of the feudal lords tried to check Zhang Liang's attributes, but was only able to see Zhang Liang's status.

"A Grade 80 commander! He certainly deserved to be one of the bosses of the Yellow Turban Riot!"

"The Yellow Turban Army might lose as a whole, but on this particular battlefield, we will win! All we have to do is try our best to earn more merits!"

The feudal lords of the Yellow Turban Camp were exhilarated.

Zhang Liang had brought 3,000 Yellow Turban leaders to their aid. Combined with the several tens of thousands of existing Yellow Turban soldiers, feudal lords, and free players in the camp, they might stand a chance to wipe out the Han Army Camp on the opposite side!

Capítulo 60: Invasion by the Yellow Turbans

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

"Ding! The first historical warfare of the Eastern Han, 'Riot of the Yellow Turbans,' has officially begun and will last a month! The fighting spirits of the commanders of the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army will gradually escalate!"

"Ding! Since less feudal lords have chosen the Yellow Turban Camp, the total attributes of all the feudal lords of the Yellow Turban Camp and their armies +15%!"

The feudal lords of the camp of Han Court, including Chu Tian, had risen very early. When they heard the notification from the system, they began gearing up their troops instantly.

The decisive battle between the Han Court and the Yellow Turban Army had officially begun!

Within a month's time, the system would continually strengthen the attack desire of the commanders of the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army, until one of them was defeated by the other.

The Han Army Camp had started imposing curfews. There were altogether 120 feudal lords in the camp where Chu Tian was, and they were prohibited from sending their troops at will.

This was war, not an adventure. Any unauthorized moves of any feudal lord were likely to trigger fights between the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army.

Anxiety was written all over the faces of all the feudal lords, as well as the free players. As far as most of them were concerned, this was their first time participating in warfares that involved nearly ten thousand people. One reckless move and they would be gone for good.

"Go!" A Han cavalryman barged into the camp from outside, as if he was on fire. "The Yellow Turban Army has come out of their camps!"

The faces of all the feudal lords and free players in the camp turned pale.

The first historical warfare had just begun, and the Yellow Turban Army had launched their attack right away.

The main war in history that resolved the Yellow Turban Riot had taken place from March until December. In Feudal Lords, however, the progress was more rapid. If every historical warfare took months and years, the feudal lords would be left with no time to develop their territories.

The commander who guarded this camp, Ma Zhang Tie, summoned ten generals serving under him, and had each of them administer 500 Han soldiers.

The Han soldiers on the battlefield of Guangzong District were immensely different from the soldiers brought by ordinary feudal lords. Chu Tian did not doubt for a second that with the precondition that the commanders were of the same level, the 5,000 Han soldiers in this camp could beat the living daylights out of the 18,000 voluntary soldiers of the 120 feudal lords.

The 5,000 Han soldiers made up the core power in this camp.

"The wooden stockades' area of defense is large, but our forces can hardly make ends meet. Therefore, we need all you voluntary soldiers to help with defense."

The commander, Ma Zhangtie, quickly assigned missions to all the feudal lords.

The perimeter of the wooden stockades was surrounded by wooden walls 4 meters tall, with arrow towers situated in the surroundings. Feudal lords and free players would assist in defending the camp.

As Chu Tian had brought more military forces with him, Commander Ma appointed Xia Town to keep guard of the three wooden arrow towers as well as the city walls between them.

The rest of the feudal lords also received their respective missions.

This was Chu Tian's first time guarding a city.

In the South of Kaiyang District, Langya Nation, Chu Tian's ideology of war was to attack, attack, and attack; he rarely had to defend. There weren't many people around him that were daring enough to provoke Xia Town either. The only influence that had provoked Xia Town, Lingyan Town, had been seized by Chu Tian and made a client town of his.

However, on the battlefield of Guangzong District, the 800 soldiers of Xia Town could not put on a one-man show. The main forces at war were the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army.

All that Chu Tian had to do was complete the missions assigned by the Han Army to the best of his ability, kill Yellow Turban soldiers, and strive for first place in the ranking.

Chu Tian took an unintentional glance at the ranking of the camp of Han Court, and noticed that some feudal lords had had their names listed on the ranking. They must have happened to run into the Yellow Turban soldiers right when the war began.

"Liu Sandao, arrange for four archers on every wooden arrow tower."

Chu Tian checked the attributes of the wooden arrow towers at the Han Army Camp. The three wooden arrow towers that he was asked to keep guard of were medium-sized ones, which were of higher grades than the small-sized wooden arrow towers in Xia Town.

[Name]: Medium-sized wooden arrow tower (Level 3 city defense work)

[Maximum durability]: 150

[Capacity (Number of guards that can be accommodated)]: 4 

[Effects]: Enhances the vision of guards, attack power +1, defense power +3.

Liu Sandao was the archers' commander of Xia Town. Immediately after receiving Chu Tian's order, he allocated Xu archers to stand guard on the medium-sized wooden arrow towers.

The city defense adopted a shift rotation system. Chu Tian divided the 800 soldiers into four batches to carry out patrols, with 200 members in each batch, while the rest of the soldiers would be training or recuperating in the camp.

The Han Army Camp provided effects that were equivalent to what a Level 3 drill ground would give.

Zhou Yafu had a sword on his waist as he patrolled the wooden city walls with his infantry. This was a strict, rigid fellow. It was impeccable to have him take charge of the city defense. Better still, he had the Level S characteristic "directing troops" and Level A characteristic "tenacious defense".

There was a thick layer of soil on the perimeter of the wooden walls, which served to prevent fire attacks by the Yellow Turban Army.

The cavalry reconnoiters of the Han Army had sent tidings about the Yellow Turban soldiers exiting their camps early in the morning. However, it took the Yellow Turban Army, which was only seven miles away, a whole morning to arrive at the doorstep of the Han Army Camp, coming in the afternoon. 

"The Yellow Turban Army is here!"

The Han soldiers and voluntary soldiers of the entire camp were alarmed. Chu Tian took the commanders, Hua Mulan, Gongsun Wu, Zhang Ding, and Chen Feng to the wooden walls, gazing in the direction of the North.

The Han Army was at the South of the battlefield, whereas the Yellow Turban Army occupied the North.

The yellow flags that symbolized the Yellow Turban Army fluttered and growled in the air, and large numbers of boisterous Yellow Turban soldiers came into view. From a thin strip of black, the scene turned into a black ocean. This group of soldiers was wearing yellow turbans, either around their heads or on their shoulders.

"The heavens have died; the yellow sky shall now rise! The new era has begun, the world shall be blessed with peace!"

"The heavens have died; the yellow sky shall now rise! The new era has begun, the world shall be blessed with peace!"

The Yellow Turban soldiers screamed the riot slogan at the top of their lungs. Their voices shook the heavens and the earth, reverberating in the air above the battlefield.

Almost all of the Eastern Han players were familiar with the slogan.

The Yellow Turban Riot had officially unveiled the chaotic era of the late Eastern Han!

Chu Tian couldn't help but feel hot blood surging in his veins as he stood on the city wall and listened to the earth-shattering slogan. The slogan of the Yellow Turban Army seemed to possess a strange power that awakened madness within people.

It was a pity that Chu Tian's identity was that of a government official at the moment. Otherwise, he might not hold back the urge to raise a rebellion himself.

Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan were unruffled by the slogan of the Yellow Turban Army. They were royal heroes, whose tenacity was matchless in comparison to ordinary men.

Similarly, the Han commander Ma Zhangtie and the low-grade officers of the Han Army also remained unaffected.

They had suppressed many civilian rebels in the past; how could they be so easily affected by the Yellow Turban Army?

"The numbers of the Yellow Turban Army are too great!"

Some less powerful feudal lords found their legs shivering. They had joined the battle with merely several dozen soldiers. When they saw the oncoming army, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who blotted out the hills and the dales, they couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Feudal Lords could no longer be considered a simple game. They dared not simply lose their lives.

"General Hua Mulan, you have the greatest strength among us. When we guard the city later, please be sure to keep our master in your firm protection," Zhou Yafu requested.

In the defense of a city, the power of cavalries would be greatly reduced. Despite being the cavalry commander, Hua Mulan would perform a better function with her individual strength at the moment.

Hua Mulan nodded in silence.

Hua Mulan had already attained Grade 45 by now, and her strength had increased up to 89 points, which put her on par with the peak state of a first-class commander during the era of the three kingdoms.

An infantry and a troop of archers were allocated on the city walls. The three wooden arrow towers that Chu Tian had to safeguard were several tens of meters apart from each other.

"It turns out the Yellow Turban Army has initiated the attack. Is there possibly a historical Yellow Turban giving commands on the other side?"

Chu Tian felt his hair standing on end when he saw several tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers appearing at the perimeter of the Han Army Camp.

Those were tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers. Even if they were tens of thousands of pigs, it would still take more than three days and nights to catch them all!

In the middle troop of the Yellow Turban Army, a group of fit and strong Yellow Turban soldiers escorted the Rengong General, Zhang Liang, and took the field.

"Grade 3 army type, the Yellow Turban leader!"

Chu Tian recognized the Yellow Turban leader instantly.

While killing the Yellow Turban commander Zhang Kai, he had killed several Yellow Turban leaders before and received a construction drawing of the elite Yellow Turban camp that could be used to recruit Yellow Turban leaders. However, Chu Tian did not build the elite Yellow Turban camp.

There might be two or three thousand Yellow Turban leaders out there!

Chu Tian couldn't help but doubt if there really was a historical commander in the Yellow Turban Camp on the other side.
