“b.u.mP!!! b.u.mP!!! b.u.mP!!!” The sound of the battle drums reverberated throughout the field. Two huge square formations gradually forming by themselves. War banners are fluttering on both sides
Huangzhou city’s wetlands made the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry unable to show their true might, so Lu Bu's army can only send infantries to do battle with Jiangxia's army.
“Milord, Zhang Liao requests to join the battle!” Said Zhang Liao half-kneeling while holding his fist.
“Milord, Zang Ba request to join the battle!” Zang Ba also made the same gesture.
“Milord!!! Battle!” Gao Shun also unexpectedly opened his mouth. Yesterday, the enemy only sent out 2000 people. Insufficient to sate Gao Shun’s appet.i.te. Now, the enemy is fighting them all out, how can this veteran general keep silent now?
“Do not quarrel, today I will make sure all of you get your portion until full!” Said Lu Bu while staring at that veteran general with a longbow.
If possible, Lu Bu wants to fight with him once again, fair and square. It is a pity that he did not have this opportunity.
“Is Zang Ba present?!” Lu Bu shouted in a clear voice.
“This general is present!” Zang Ba quickly half-knelt on the ground, shouting with a nice face.
“Like yesterday's battle, you cannot win against Xu Zhi!” Lu Bu said loudly.
“Eh?!” Zang Ba’s is showing a mixed complexion. Yesterday, he did that to feign defeat, but what use is it for today?
“Relax, today you only maintain the rhythm for a while, I will signal you when to counterattack, earn your revenge!” Said Lu Bu to comfort Zang Ba.
The enemy has naval units, which is their big advantage. Lu Bu’s army cannot do anything to those naval units, but on the contrary naval units can deal serious damage to Lu Bu army. Especially that giant crossbow, the threat is really huge, even with Lu Bu or Liu Mang’s armor, it can still kill them.
Once Lu Bu’s army is in a deadlocked by Jiangxia navy, their damage will be very serious, therefore they must spread their forces.
To separate Jiangxia's navy and army, one must lure them to Huangzhou city's border and that is Zang Ba’s role.
“Yes!” As soon as Zang Ba learned that he got the opportunity for revenge, naturally he received the order gleefully.
“Is Zhang Liao present?” Lu Bu shouted again.
“This general is present!”
“Wenyuan, go prepare your boys for a big feast! You are to stay at Huangzhou city’s border, wait for the prey to come!”
“Yes, sir!” Zhang Liao and his Bing Province Heavy Cavalry cannot show their prowess in this battle, stuck in the main camp all the time.
A few days ago, even the supply troops had the opportunity to help siege, but Bing Province Heavy Cavalry still had not been dispatched at all. So their belly is boiling with bloodl.u.s.t, after Zhang Liao heard Lu Bu’s order, his heart is really happy.
“Is Gao Shun and Liu Mang present?!”
“This general is present!” “Present!” Gao Shun and Liu Mang responded. Gao Shun half-kneeling but Liu Mang only held his fist respectfully.
“Both of you are to detour Huangzhou city, stay at their flank, I want those Jiangxia soldiers cut off when they are at hard retreat!” Lu Bu does not want Jiangxia's army to run away. If half of Jiangxia's army is able to enter Huangzhou city, then it will become a disaster for Lu Bu's army as they will stay on the defense the whole time.
“Yes, sir!” Although Liu Mang was paired up with Gao Shun, Liu Mang’s mind was actually distant from Gao Shun. Although they both got along pretty well, Liu Mang still had grudge against this crazy Gao Shun who did not help him when he was pinned down by that tiger.
“Gongtai, How is Hanyang’s medicine?!” Lu Bu asked after all people had been a.s.signed to their tasks.
“Do not worry, Milord. Huang Xu’s breathing is already stable!” Replied Chen Gong. Chen Gong is a Confucian scholar, but he has also studied medicine a little in his youth. He really felt this pill was magical.
When he saw Huang Xu brought into their medical camp, he diagnosed that his disease is very hard to cure. But this medicine brought by Liu Mang is actually able to treat Huang Xu’s disease, that medicine called Qingmei tablet.
TL: Qingmei tablet /patents/CN103751350A?cl=en . Liu Mang brought modern Chinese medicine and also a book containing method on how to create them.
Chen Gong really did not understand, this Qingmei tablets base is sour plum which is usually used only for snacks. Can this raw material really be used for medicine?

“That is good, then!” Lu Bu smiled very happily. Oh Huang Zhong, since you are mistreated by Huang Zu and his family, come to me and be my familial general.
