章節 33: Battle Of Changshe
Everyone began to move towards their position to prepare and wait for Zhu Jun's order for the attack to begin
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song merged their army for this battle, with Sun Qian and Cao Cao as their strategist they began to deploy their formations Lie Fan was appointed as the main Vanguard General leading their front soldiers
Sun Qian suggest using their cavalry to harass The Yellow Turbans as Lie Fan was an Expert at Cavalry attack tactics while Cao Cao suggests using the archers as well to disturb the Yellow Turbans as they are still focused on attacking the city
Lie Fan hearing that he was appointed as The main Vanguard General, begin to rally the cavalries to his side bringing a total amount of 6.000 Cavalry to harass the yellow turbans. Heeding Cao Cao's suggestion, Lie Fan orders the Archers to position themselves under Chao Bo who will give them orders on when to shoot while the Infantry led by Chao Bai prepares to charge anytime
Lie Fan brought Liu Pi and Zang Ba alongside him to act as his Lieutenants but also bodyguards as he still remembers the promise he made to Ying Yue
Lie Fan: "Liu Pi and Zang Ba both of you keep following me wherever I go, the rest of you proceed as planned we will split up into 15 groups and begin harassing them using speed with precision and remember whatever happens don't stop!"
Everyone: "Yes General!"
Lie Fan: "Good! now everyone groups up and charges at my order remember speed is the essence!"
Lie Fan takes his Guard Batallion and Cavalry Battalion as it is his elite Squad with the rest filled up from other cavalry troops, Lie Fan observes his men's readiness and orders the charge when he sees everyone is ready
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song alongside Sun Qian and Cao Cao noticed that Lie Fan has began to move out leading the charge to harass the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao in particular was intrigued by Lie Fan as Zhu Jun keeps praising him in front of Huangfu Song saying his Nephew has a great military talent
Cao Cao knows that sooner or later the Han Dynasty will fall with the Yellow Turbans as it dominos that fall bringing the others along with it and he has a keen interest in knowing the great talent he can recruit
Sun Jian was also curious about Lie Fan as his chance to join Zhu Jun was extinguished as Lie Fan was picked up by Zhu Jun and became Zhu Jun's favorite shadowing him a famed general from Wu
Lie Fan using Sun Tzu calculates the number of the Yellow Turbans army and Informed there were 65.000 of them which 30.000 was used to storm a small city called Changshe which only had 5.000 men to defend and they were doing their best to hold on against the onslaught
Separating from their main group, 15 Cavalries began to spread out and harass the 35.000 Yellow Turbans who were waiting for their brothers to break the city gate. The Yellow Turbans hear horses' hoofs and when they turn around they was Imoaled or slashed or stabbed by the Incoming cavalries led by Lie Fan
The Yellow Turbans panicked at first as they were suddenly attacked but began to organize themselves as their Commander began to order them to defend against the enemies
Lie Fan and his Calvaries were butchering men here and there, casualties can't be hindered as this is a large-scale battle and no tactics or strategies are 100% in battle
Seeing that the Yellow Turbans began to put up a fight, Lie Fan orders Liu Pi to sound the horn signaling the others to retreat and joined up with the main army to begin to charge
With the horn sounded by Liu Pi, All Cavalries began to retreat and The Yellow Turbans chased them but were under fire from arrows that Chao Bo has ordered to fire
Protected by the Archer Battalion, Lie Fan alongside the Cavalry Battalion arrived safely back to the main army, Lie Fan ask Sun Tzu to calculate the numbers of Yellow Turbans they have cut down they answered that they managed to kill 6.783 at the same time lose 473 Men and the arrows took 3.567 Yellow Turbans
Zhu Jun saw that Lie Fan has returned and raised the flag signaling the army to begin their assault on the Yellow Turbans, the drum was sounded and the 70.000 Han Army began to enter the fray to save Changshe with 10.000 put in the rear as protection against other yellow turbans group
The Yellow Turbans saw the massive Han Army charging toward them causing mass panic as they began to realize the massive numbers of the Han Army
YT Soldiers: "Commander Bo Cai, what should we do?! The enemy outnumbered us and with 30.000 Brothers not counting the casualties still attacking the City! Should we call them back and fight the Han Army first?!"
Bo Cai: "This damned Han Army! Since when they were uniting as one?! Order the brothers to stop attacking the city and began to regroup to face the oncoming Han Army!"
The Yellow Turbans attacking the city were called back and under Bo Cai's leadership began to mount up defenses to prepare against the oncoming Han Army
Lie Fan saw The Yellow Turbans entering defensive formation, no matter how strong the cavalry unit is piercing 60 thousand people is not an easy task so he split the cavalry into 2 groups each will go to the enemy flank and attack from there while the main battle will be handled by the Infantry
The initial clash between the Han Army and the Yellow Turbans was bloody with the Han Army having the upper hand at the beginning thanks to their superior equipment and experience
Lie Fan with his halberd killed many Yellow Turbans, with his strength he lead the cavalries attacking from the left flank penetrating the center and leaving through the right flank
The Yellow Turbans offensive is too weak to take on the Han Army, especially with Lie Fan leading the charge and his orders were on point. Bo Cai ordered the Yellow Turban to surround the Cavalry and halt their advance to minimize casualties
Lie Fan feels the Yellow Turbans begin encircling them and the Cavalry without speed and mobility is a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered, the cavalry unit from Imperial Army panicked seeing that they were going to be surrounded and not listening to Lie Fan's order and break off on their own
With the Cavalry unit from the imperial army breaking off on their own, Lie Fan's rhythm controlling the speed of their unit was messed up, and this opportunity for the Yellow Turbans to surround them closing in on Lie Fan and his unit
Zhu Jun seeing the precarious situation Lie Fan's in sent Sun Jian leading 2.000 Cavalries to assist him, Sun Jian charge into the battle to help Lie Fan
When the raging tiger of Jiangdong enters the fray, Lie Fan who was fighting to get out saw Sun Jian's cavalry and decided to change their direction toward him to pincer the Yellow Turbans
While fighting to get out, Lie Fan was challenged by the Yellow Turban Commander who enters the fray of battle
Bo Cai: "You Han General come and duel with me! If you managed to defeat me I will set you free but if you lost then your head is mine Hahaha!"
Lie Fan: "Humph Fine! Come receive my halberd!"
Both the Yellow Turbans and Lie Fan's unit stop fighting and give way for Lie Fan and Bo Cai to duel, Lie Fan does the first move and with an overhead slash targets Bo Cai's head but Bo Cai managed to parry it then Bo Cai return it with a stab towards the heart
Lie Fan easily finds it and returns it with axe movement toward Bo Cai's shoulder, Lie Fan and Bo Cai do 20 bouts of attack and defense but when Bo Cai wanted to attack again Sun Jian arrived and managed to break through, Bo Cai was alarmed and decide to retreat running away
Lie Fan wants to run after him but decides not to and led his unit to regroup with Sun Jian's unit and then retreat as his unit was exhausted mentally and physically
Lie Fan: "Thank you, General Sun Jian, for helping me and my units, you saved my unit from receiving more casualties"
Sun Jian: "We are comrades in arms and General Zhu Jun was the one who saw your situation and ordered me to help you"
Lie Fan: "But it's your skill and martial arts that make you breakthrough fast enough to reach us and I can see firsthand the skill of Tiger of Jiangdong"
Sun Jian: "Hahaha! Come let's hurry back and let the main army finish up the Yellow Turbans"
When Lie Fan and Sun Jian return to the headquarter, The Yellow Turbans who have received heavy losses was retreating and split up with one group going southwest and the other going west
Zhu Jun: "This damned bastards! Splitting their groups into two forced us to do the same! Then, Old Huang, you took the southwest and I take the west side in line with our trajectory"
Huangfu Song: "Okay let's do that, Cao Cao Sun Jian sounds the drums to let our army regroup first and then we will head southwest"
Cao Cao & Sun Jian: "Yes General Huang!"
Lie Fan: "I will see you back at Luoyang General Huang, General Cao, and General Sun! Thank you for helping us today I hope to repay it in the future!"
Huangfu Song's Army began to regroup separating themselves from Zhu Jun's Army and after everything is done they head southwest while Zhu Jun's army headed toward Changshe first
