Chapter 379 Falling into the Trap, Ambush!
This news will not expose his identity as a double agent, since this intelligence is true!
It's just targeting certain people...
That's a bit hard to say.
Although Meng Zhang's identity has never been a secret, he is from the Taiping Cult behind the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In short, those behind-the-scenes forces, aside from themselves.
There aren't many options left...
Meanwhile, the masterminds behind the Taiping Cult, upon learning of this news, also fell into tension and anxiety.
They knew that if Meng Zhang's words were true, then this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If we can coordinate with the actions of those several Daqian generals, we might be able to defeat the Cangzhou army in one fell swoop.
However, they also knew that Meng Zhang had always looked down on them.
Whether his intelligence is accurate still needs further verification.
Some people firmly believed that Meng Zhang's intelligence was true and advocated taking immediate action to coordinate with the Daqian generals' attack.
Some were skeptical, believing it might be a trick by Meng Zhang, and advocated for caution. Both sides held their own opinions, and the debate raged on.
"Meng Zhang is a cunning and treacherous man; his words should not be trusted."
An old man with a sinister face said in a deep voice, a sinister glint in his eyes.
"But if his intelligence is true, this will be a great opportunity for us to defeat the Cangzhou army."
Another middle-aged man chimed in, his tone revealing a hint of urgency.
"We might as well send a small team to investigate the situation. This way, we can verify the authenticity of the intelligence and avoid falling into Meng Zhang's trap."
Just as everyone was arguing, a young man who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up.
Although his voice was not loud, it conveyed an undeniable firmness.
The young man's suggestion was approved by everyone, and soon a capable and efficient team was dispatched.
They went to the rear of the Cangzhou army to investigate the movements of those several Daqian generals.
Within the Yellow Turban Alliance, the infighting among the various factions within the Taiping Sect intensified.
Although those behind the scenes appear united on the surface, they each harbor their own ulterior motives in private.
They were constantly vying for military power, territory, and interests, engaging in open and covert struggles.
Meanwhile, Meng Zhang cleverly exploited the conflicts between these underhanded forces to create favorable conditions for Su Ye's plan.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban army camp was still bustling and noisy on the surface, with high morale.
But in reality, undercurrents are already surging and crises are lurking everywhere.
Meanwhile, in the Cangzhou army's camp, Su Ye was also busily setting up the final defensive line.
We must not allow any accidents to happen.
When the entire Yellow Turban army was fully prepared and waiting for the signal to "attack".
Su Ye and Meng Zhang's plan has entered its final countdown.
As dusk fell, the crimson glow on the horizon resembled blood, foreshadowing the impending carnage.
The Yellow Turban Army was fully prepared and, accompanied by the thunderous sound of war drums, surged towards their designated attack location like a tidal wave.
The sound of soldiers' footsteps and the clanging of armor clashing together formed a symphony of war, and the air was thick with a chilling atmosphere.
However, when they arrived at their destination, the scene before them astonished them—it was deserted, with only a cold wind blowing through the ruins, bringing a sense of desolation.
The soldiers looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and unease.
The general leading the army frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"We've fallen for their trap!"
Suddenly, a general from the Yellow Turban army roared, his voice filled with anger and resentment.
However, it was too late; they had already been drawn into a huge trap.
Just then, a deafening battle cry suddenly came from behind.
The Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly turned around and saw the Cangzhou army charging towards them like wolves and tigers, their morale high and their iron armor gleaming coldly in the setting sun.
"Form ranks! Prepare for battle!"
In the Yellow Turban army's ranks, a general, clad in iron armor and wielding two whips, stood majestically at the front of the formation.
It was none other than Huyan Zhuo, the Liangshan general who had been brought to power earlier.
However, it is clear that he joined the Yellow Turban Rebellion for various reasons.
However, they were not on Meng Zhang's side, otherwise they wouldn't be here.
Huyan Zhuo's voice was deep and powerful, echoing across the battlefield, attempting to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Upon hearing Huyan Zhuo's order, a small group of Yellow Turban soldiers beside him quickly formed ranks, their spears like a forest and their shields like a wall, ready to meet the approaching Cangzhou army.
Huyan Zhuo's gaze swept over the soldiers, noticing their tension and fear.
He took a deep breath and gripped the two whips tightly.
"Ding! Detected that Hu Yanzhuo's skill Double Whip has been activated!"
Double Whips: A unique skill for generals who use double whips. It can only be awakened when one has mastered the whip technique to its fullest extent. After activation, attack power increases by 4.
Currently, Huyan Zhuo's base martial strength is 98, his weapon, the Water-polished Octagonal Steel Whip, grants him +1 martial strength, his warhorse, the Snow-Treading Black Steed, grants him +1 martial strength, and his skill, the Double Whip, grants him +4 martial strength. Huyan Zhuo's current martial strength has increased to 104!
As the war drums sounded, the Cangzhou army surged forward like a tidal wave.
Huyan Zhuo brandished his double whips and charged into the enemy ranks first. Seeing this, the Yellow Turban soldiers beside him were greatly encouraged and followed closely behind, engaging in a fierce battle with the Cangzhou army.
On the battlefield, Huyan Zhuo wielded his double whips with impenetrable force, each swing bringing forth a storm of blood and carnage.
However, even with Huyan Zhuo's unparalleled bravery, he could not withstand the relentless attacks of the Cangzhou army.
As the battle intensified, one by one, the Yellow Turban soldiers around Huyan Zhuo fell, and his mood grew heavier.
He understood that if they lost this battle, those behind them would never have a chance to rise again in the Yellow Turban Army.
Thinking of this, he increased the force with which he swung his whips.
However, human strength has its limits.
Although Huyan Zhuo was incredibly brave, his strength was gradually exhausted during the long battle.
Just then, a general from the Cangzhou army took advantage of his unpreparedness and swung his sword at him.
Hu Yanzhu reacted quickly, dodging the knife by sidestepping, but his left arm was still cut by the blade, and it was covered in blood.
Huyan Zhuo endured the pain, his eyes wide with rage, and swung his double whips at the general.
The two fought back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Just then, the distant neighing of warhorses suddenly rang out, and several riders came galloping towards them.
The riders on horseback were all dressed in Yellow Turban Army armor, yet they carried a touch of the heroic spirit unique to the Liangshan heroes.
"Brother Huyan, we're here to help you!"
The leader of the group shouted, holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade and riding a Jade Lion that seemed to gleam in the night. He was none other than Guan Sheng, a hero of Liangshan.
Following closely behind was another Liangshan hero, Lin Chong.
He held a ten-foot-long spear, rode a black steed, and had a red tassel on the spear tip, like a blazing flame on the battlefield.
"Huyan Zhuo, rest for a moment. We'll deal with these Cangzhou brats!"
Lin Chong shouted loudly, and before he finished speaking, he had already spurred his black dragon horse and charged straight into the enemy formation.
"Haha, well done!"
"To be able to fight alongside you all today, I, Huyan Zhuo, have no regrets even if I die!"
Upon seeing this, Huyan Zhuo's spirits lifted.
Having said that, he brandished his double whips again and engaged in battle with the Cangzhou general opposite him.
