Chapter 50: Settling the Storm

 The Yellow Turban Army, with flames burning on their bodies, kept rushing against the city wall. Liu Chang kept slashing his sword. The burning ladder made crackling sounds from time to time, and the constant burning and violent running made the ladder begin to shaking.

Although under the leadership of the generals to death, the Yellow Turban soldiers did not take their lives in their hearts. However, many things did not change with their willpower. The flames eventually burned down one ladder after another. With the last sound of pong, the last ladder collapsed.

When the Yellow Turban Army under the city wall saw the ladder collapse, they were at a loss for a moment, and the rain of arrows on the city wall was still falling. After losing the means to climb the city wall, the Yellow Turban Army could only dodge the shooting of arrows under the city wall.

When Lei Gong saw this, he knew that he could no longer continue to attack the city. So he loudly issued an order to the Yellow Turban soldiers: "Retreat the troops, all soldiers will retreat."

After receiving the order, the helpless Yellow Turban soldiers instinctively retreated to the rear. The military formation, which had been barely orderly before, began to become chaotic.

Liu Chang watched the tide under the city slowly retreat, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then a sense of power loss surged out of his heart. Liu Chang used his left hand to lift the blood-stained face armor. The burnt aura filled with the air rushed towards the door. Liu Chang shouted to the soldiers guarding the city side: "The Yellow Turban Army has retreated, and this battle is our victory."

Then the soldiers on the city wall made cheers.

I don’t know whether I was celebrating my survival or celebrating the repelling of the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Chang slowly sat down with his back against the city wall, holding the blood-stained sword in his arms. He lowered his head and rested. The feeling of powerlessness in his limbs kept stimulating his nerves. Although he felt tired and weak all over his body, he was very excited.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but a heroic voice came over: “Haha, it turns out that Brother Liu, you are here.”

Liu Chang looked up and saw that Zhang Fei, who was covered in blood, came over. There were various scratches and sunkens on his heavy armor on his body, and the all-steel spear on his hand was also slightly bent.

Liu Chang smiled and said, "Yide is so brave today."

Zhang Fei patted his armor and boasted, "That's right, I, Old Zhang, fight bravely to fight the enemy today. That's really a thousand men. No enemy can get within one meter of my enemy. Brother Liu must invite me to have a good meal."

Liu Chang was very happy when he heard this, and immediately agreed: "It must be, let Yide have a good time today."

When Zhao Dixun came over, he heard this, so he continued, "Then I have to drink it too."

Zhao Xin also came here with a smile and said, "I can't leave it either."

"It's okay, we'll have a great time today."

When Liu Chang saw that everyone was coming, he wanted to stand up, so he supported himself with his hands, and then his legs became weak and he staggered. Zhao Xin immediately supported Liu Chang with quick eyes and hands.

Zhao Xin asked a little nervously: "Young Master is okay, are you?"

Liu Chang said self-deprecatingly: "It's okay, it's the first time I saw such a big formation, my legs were a little weak."

Zhang Fei patted Liu Chang on the shoulder and said, "No matter how many people I see, my legs will not be soft at all."

Liu Chang boasted: "Yide is naturally bold. A hero like Yide is really rare in the world. He will definitely be famous throughout the ages."

Zhang Fei laughed: "Hahaha, I feel a little embarrassed when Brother Liu said it."

Liu Chang said confidently: "Don't be embarrassed. This is the fact that Yide is one of the few heroes in the world. It is our honor to be able to fight with a hero like Yide."

Zhang Fei also said excitedly: "It is my honor to be able to fight with Brother Liu."

Zhao Di asked, "They probably won't attack the city again, right?"

Liu Chang said in an uncertain tone: "Well, it shouldn't be. Their siege equipment has been burned down and they should be unable to attack anymore. But we still have to observe and observe again. If they have other ways to attack the city, we will be passive. Zhao Di, you send someone to watch their movements."

Zhao Di said affirmatively: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will send someone to keep staring on the city wall."

Liu Chang led a few people down the city wall and saw Wang He and the big family in the city looking towards him with joy.

The middle-aged man came over to Liu Chang and said, "I heard that the general defeated the Yellow Turban bandits. We came to congratulate the general. The general should go to my house for a banquet."

Liu Chang said modestly: "Thank you, sir. You can't even say you are going to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. At this time, there are still more than 10,000 enemies outside the city."

The middle-aged man said disdainfully to the Yellow Turban Army: "Oh, General, this is too cautious. I heard that the general has burned all the ladders of the Yellow Turban bandits today. The city walls here are tall. Unless everyone can fly, they will definitely not be able to attack this city."

Seeing that he said this, Liu Chang thought of their previous assistance to him, and replied: "Then I'm going to bother you."

The middle-aged man immediately said, "It is my honor to wait for the general to come. Please follow me."

"Sir, please lead the way."

Lei Gong took the remaining people back to the camp. He looked at the still huge team. Although his attack failed today, because several ladders were burned very quickly, his side's losses were not big. In this battle, he only lost less than two thousand people. Looking at the huge team with more than ten thousand people.

Lei Gong sighed and thought silently in his heart: "Retreat the army, the attack of the great military commander has been interrupted. I have to lead the troops back to the rescue." Unfortunately, no one can discuss countermeasures with him at this time. He sat in the camp lonely and recalled all the things that had happened since the uprising with the great military commander. He sighed deeply, and was shaken in his heart whether the uprising could be successful.

Finally, he pushed open the curtain of the camp and walked to the camp gate. He stood in the camp and looked at the corpses lying under the city of Dingzhou, and the ladder that collapsed after burning. He felt very sad in his heart.

I silently thought in my heart: "I hope you will finally reach the world of peace after burning yourself. The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand."

Lei Gong murmured to himself: "I should follow closely, and I hope you all brothers can wait for me for a while."
