Chapter 37: Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong

Zhao Hong: "Big Brother! What shall we do now?! The Brothers were too panicked and ignored your orders! Since when did a Han Army this big come and we never saw them?!"

Zhang Mancheng was thinking of a way to get out of there and was interrupted by Zhao Hong, making him furious as they are the high ranking officers, and if they panicked then the Yellow Turbans will be annihilated

Zhang Mancheng: "Silent! You go and lead the brother's attack Wan now! It's our only way to win this battle if we managed to enter Wan!"

Zhao Hong who was yelled at by Zhang Mancheng began to calm down and run outside to lead a frantic frontal assault on Wan

Meanwhile, Sun Zhong and Han Zhong who were leasing the left and right flanks don't have a choice but to block the Han Army attack from their side

Lie Fan who led his cavalry to attack from the right flank, pierce the yellow turban sporadic formation like a paper especially with the Yellow Turbans number scattered on all sides

Liu Pi and Bo Cai were beside him killing the Yellow Turbans who before they thought of as brothers now facing their archnemesis killing many who try to hurt Lie Fan

Han Zhong saw Lie Fan when leading the defense against his Cavalry, seeing the expensive and high-quality armor he knew that Lie Fan is the commander so he targeted him

Han Zhong leads 20 men to intercept Lie Fan, he sends the 20 men first to stop Lie Fan while he immediately attacks Lie Fan when there's an opportunity presented

Lie Fan and his bodyguards had to halt their advances thanks to the 20 men Han Zhong send in a group to stop them, Lie Fan instantly kill 3 yellow turbans that try to stop him using his halberd

Liu Pi and Bo Cai were occupied by the other Yellow Turbans, and Han Zhong see this as an opportunity to attack the Lie Fan using his sword from behind

Lie Fan who was still killing the Yellow Turbans who blocked his advance, feels something behind his back and use his halberd to attack whoever was behind him

Han Zhong saw his sword parried by Lie Fan's halberd, moving back Han Zhong attacked again but Lie Fan already turn around, and before he finished his move Lie Fan swing his halberd cutting off Han Zhong's head

Lie Fan was happy he completed another Achievement, but he decide to focus on the battle for now and continue advancing toward the Yellow Turbans headquarters

Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba lead their respective battalion crushing through the Yellow Turbans. Chao Bai who was attacking from the left side currently dueling against Sun Zhong, Chao Bai who have innate strength since young was controlling the duel Sun Zhong can only defend

While Sun Zhong was preoccupied with Chao Bai, his head suddenly was pierced by an arrow and the one who shot it was Chao Bo who was leading the Archer battalion from the flank

The Yellow Turbans already lost 2 high ranking officers but their progress in attacking Wan is still stagnant win Qin Xie's leadership alongside Sun Qian's tactics Wan stand strong against their onslaught

Zhang Mancheng received a report that both Sun Zhong and Han Zhong is dead, leaving only him and Zhao Hong the remaining high-ranking officers which pushed him to help Zhao Hong in leading the attack personally to take Wan

Zhang Mancheng: "Zhao Hong! This is our last chance to storm Wan! If we failed to take it then we have to say goodbye to our life!"

Zhao Hong: "Okay Big Brother! Brothers remember your families back home waiting for salvation! Destroy this bastard from Han!"

The Yellow Turbans' morale rose for a last attempt to take Wan, Xin Qie seeing that ask for Sun Qian's advice as the lumber they keep has been used all. Sun Qian advised to just hold on and whenever a ladder rose towards the wall, the soldier kicked it or set it on fire to reduce the number of yellow turbans ascending the wall and put wagons or carriages on the gate to make the gate heavier to be rammed open

The Wan Archer Commander also lead their archer battalion to shoot against the sear of the Yellow Turbans army, killing and injuring many of them

Lie Fan saw Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong leading the charge to Wan making him change their course and run after both of them as he wanted to recruit them to enter his bodyguard rank alongside Liu Pi and Bo Cai

He instructs Liu Pi and Bo Cai to knock them unconscious and then take them toward Xu Kai who was waiting back at their first position where wait to ambush Yellow Turbans

Liu Pi and Bo Cai obey the order and both of them make their horse ride faster toward both Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong in a fast speed using their weapon handle to knock them both

Zhang Mancheng heard a horse heading toward him and Zhao Hong, when he turned around he saw a yellow-masked man headitowardrds him while the other one toward Zhao Hong

He informs Zhao Hong of the incoming enemy and both of them raised their weapons respectively to parry the attack

When they clashed, the other yellow turbans around them wanted to help their Generals but Lie Fan and the cavalry arrived attacking them causing massive casualties where Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong can't do anything but watch everything happening around them while fighting against Liu Pi and Bo Cai

Liu Pi and Bo Cai work well together like a well-oiled engine after training under Lie Fan's guidance, Zhao Hong was the first one defeated and knocked out by Liu Pi hitting him in the side of the head with his spear handle

Zhang Mancheng seeing that wanted to help Zhao Hong but Bo Cai attacked him canceling his move to Parry Bo Cai's attack, Liu Pi take Zhao Hong onto his horse and help Bo Cai attack Zhang Mancheng

Under the attack of the two, Zhang Mancheng was soon cornered and can only defend himself before being knocked out by Bo Cai who then seize him alongside Liu Pi who was carrying Zhao Hong take them back to Xu Kai

Lie Fan who was spearheading the attack began to shout telling the Yellow Turbans to surrender followed by his Men as their commander has been taken captive

The Yellow Turbans panicked when they heard that and many began to surrender while some of them decide to run away but were killed by Lie Fan soldiers shot with arrows

The battle soon ends with the Yellow Turbans who surrender numbering 2.500 and the rest of them are dead, Lie Fan ordered the Yellow Turbans to be used the same as the former yellow turbans who now served as the Prisoner army

Lie Fan then do a census to count the number of his army and from 18.675 after the battle 15.451 remaining with 500 wounded and the rest killed in battle, the killed soldiers were buried with honor in Wan while the bodies of the Yellow Turbans were piled up then burned

Qin Xie and Sun Qian left the wall joining Lie Fan at the battle site, Qin Xie thank Lie Fan and Sun Qian profusely as without them sooner or later Wan will fall to the Yellow Turbans

Lie Fan says that this is his duty and he requested some rations for his soldiers before scouring Nanyang Commandery to clean up the remaining Yellow Turbans. Qin Xie agrees and says that he will inform the Imperial Court and The Emperor of Lie Fan's bravery and merit in helping Wan

Sun Qian who knows Lie Fan has something to do accompanies Qin Xie in documenting and allotting the rations for Lie Fan's army, Lie Fan is relieved when Sun Qian finally takes Qin Xie away and he rides out toward Xu Kai's location to cajole Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong to join his side increasing the number of bodyguards he is going to have

Arriving at the tent, Lie Fan enters and is greeted by the sight of Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong tied up in a pole guarded by Liu Pi and Bo Cai with Xu Kai interrogating them

Lie Fan: "Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong, both of you have done many bad things in the name of a movement that doesn't even consider your safety and the people"

Zhang Mancheng: "You Pig! Release us and fight us one on one like a man! Yellow Heaven is guiding us and what we do is for the greater good!"

Lie Fan: "Really? Does the Yellow Heaven even exist? Has Zhang Jiao shown both of you this Yellow Heaven he speaks of?"

Zhang Mancheng: "Master Zhang hasn't shown us The Yellow Heaven yet because he says before the Han Dynasty falls the Yellow Heaven will not appear!"

Zhao Hong: "Yes! What Big Brother says is true! You cant manipulate us because the Yellow Heaven is always guarding us!"

Lie Fan: "Oh really? Then Liu Pi Bo Cai both of you take off your masks and introduce yourself to them who are you"

Liu Pi and Bo Cai take off their mask, and they introduce themselves as former Yellow Turbans General who has rescinded from their old ways and now joined Lie Fan's side as the one where chosen by the Heaven Lie Fan

Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong were angry when they heard what both of them said, Spits and bad words were flying to Liu Pi and Bo Cai to the betrayal they had done to the movement

Lie Fan: "Both of you don't believe the two of them? Fine then I will show you what makes them believe me and join under my wing to learn the true Way of Peace that Zhang Jiao hasn't shown you yet as he was a fraud"
