VOLUME 5 CHAPTER 33: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS RIDING AS 3 FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES (10)

Yun Chang POV

I don’t know if it’s because of construction or the strong winds that blew during the great fire, but even though there were thick forests in the distance, the immediately surroundings of Luoyang were barren.

Fighting here feels like fighting in a natural sand environment, and makes it feel even more warlike. But whatever the case, wars have rules and principles.

But now that I am faced with the Yellow Turbans who neither reply nor meet me in a duel, I’m afraid no amount of reason will work.

“Yun Chang!”

“I got it!”

Wen Yuan yelled at me, and I replied as we both charged forth and led our troops at the enemy.

As we yelled, so did the other side. Naturally, our volume was less than theirs but at least my ears were filled with the shouts from my side.

If one were to look down from atop, one would probably see several green beans get engulfed by a sea of yellow beans.

— Or perhaps, eaten up.

Ka!

When I saw the scattered enemy cavalry just several dozen paces away, I raised my Green Dragon Crescent Blade and spun it before I swung it at them, sending mud, soil and sand flying out at them.

And only then did I charge at them with full speed.

“Ha!” I swung at the first row viciously and knocked them all to the ground.

Thereafter, I swung my reins, and the red chestnut horse understood my intentions and leapt past the cavalry troops on the ground, and charged at the main body of the Yellow Turbans!

The sandy wind blew past me, and made things feel cool. I swung the reins once more and s.h.i.+fted my center of gravity downwards, and charged at the Yellow Turban-infested land.

*Dongpa*

The horse’s hooves sank deeply into the ground and the surrounding people moved away, either out of fear and awe or by the shockwave.

Several people lunged forward but I swung my glaive and the current alone was enough to make them fall to the ground.

After a few seconds, the surrounding people had gathered around me but no one came forth to fight with me.

*Dong*!– *Dong*!–

Though the battlefield was very noisy, Wen Yuan’s blows could still be heard all the way here. Looks like she’s making an even bigger ruckus than I am.

It was clear that the troops here were far from elite troops. But even so, it feels like these troops are significantly stronger than the Yellow Turbans we first met. But that is to be expected after all, since they wouldn’t have made it till now if they weren’t.

When I saw that the time was right, I raised my glaive and yelled out to all the officers, “I am a citizen of the Great Han, I swear not to kill any of those who should surrender!” When I finished, I raised the blade and stuck it into the ground.

Even after I finished yelling, my words reverberated as echoes resounded, and the surrounding Yellow Turbans would s.h.i.+ver at every round.
