Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 27: Rise Of The Yellow Turbans

A month has passed since the letter was sent, Lie Fan accompanied by Sun Qian and Xu Kai was observing the training of his army as Lie Fan petitioned his father to release the 115 Yellow Turbans because he wanted to include them in his army

Lie Shang at first said no as they will never be paid by the government but Lie Fan promised that all their expenses will be paid from his funds, Lie Shang finally agree and allow him to recruit them but with notes that they are not allowed to enter Huai'An until the Yellow Turbans is put down and Lie Fan agree to that demand

Lie Fan: "Master Sun Qian, what do you think of the Army we have now?"

Sun Qian: "My Lord, Sun Qian's talent in strategies and military tactics is mediocre but even I can se that even though the lord's army is only 760 men but all of them are trained and have experience in combat what we lack in number is bolstered by Quality of our men"

Lie Fan: "That's true even though our number is small but we have the experience and if I say my army is number one in experience in all of Xu Province I deserve that number"

Xu Kai: "Of course, with Big Brother's Intellect and talent no one can beat you especially now that Huai'An is like the back of Big Brothers' hand with us The Oriole have been inserted in important places and when our next brothers and sisters finish their training we can send them to Xiapi and Langye"

Sun Qian: "Haha what Little Xu saying is true, this is the first time I have ever heard of a restaurant and tavern was used as an information gathering and spy headquarters"

Lie Fan: "This is an Idea I thought of when I'm thinking about Sun Tzu's art of war which information is a vital thing we need to win a war, Now that Mother has begun to sed people to open our branch at Xiapi and Langye then our network will slowly begin to expand at least covering Xu Province first"

While Lie Fan, Xu Kai, and Sun Qian are talking suddenly there's a commotion in front of the camp where there's a messenger who was shot by an arrow in the shoulders while riding his horse enters the camp and falls off his horse when he almost reached Lie Fan

Lie Fan seeing that orders his soldiers to help the messenger while he walked towards him accompanied by Xu Kai and Sun Qian

Lie Fan: "What happened?! Why are you like this?!"

Messenger: "Young Lord *cough* Huai'An is being attacked by The Yellow Turbans numbering 6.500 men, Lord Lie Shang ordered me to hurry and help defend Huai'An as our army is defending against them right now"

Lie Fan: "What?! How could The Yellow Turbans attack right now?! They will not rebel at least until next year!"

Messenger: "I don't know why Young Lord but you have to hurry and de-def-defend Huai'An *cough*"

After saying that the messenger died and Lie Fan can't think about why would the yellow turbans rebel right now so he immediately ordered Everyone to prepare for war and in 5 minutes they will immediately reinforce Huai'An

He asks Xu Kai to protect Sun Qian alongside the Oriole members who were still there and uses a carriage to follow them from behind cause Sun Qian is their strategist and the mind of the army

Chao Bo, Chao Bai, Zang Ba, and Liu Pi each prepare their battalion with Liu Pi newly appointed as Vice Commander of the Guard Battalion as the 115 former Yellow Turbans were put there and their riding skill has been trained with Lie Fan spending 25.000 taels for the horse and equipment

Lie Fan enters his tent to equip his Armor and his Halberd, Lie Fan then left the tent with his Horse Pangu in front of his tent brought by Liu Pi who waited for him alongside his Guard Battalion

Leading his Guard Battalion alongside Liu Pi Lie Fan meets up with the others at the front of the Camp and when he sees that everyone is ready he told them to march as fast as they could together to Huai'An

They spend 20 minutes crossing 2 km to reach Huai'An and when they arrived 250 meters outside of Huai'An they saw a sea of yellow soldiers attacking Huai'An with Huai'An army defending against the invaders

Lie Fan approach Sun Qian's carriage and ask him what they should do, Sun Qian says that their number is too small to have a head-on fight so they should go around and attack the Yellow Turbans from the rear to cause panic with the cavalries do a speed and run attack to pick of Yellow Turbans soldiers

Lie Fan hearing that agrees and sends his orders to the respective Battalion Commanders on what they should do, so Lie Fan led his army go around the Yellow Turbans and began attacking them from the rear

Lie Fan lead the Guard Battalion to attack from the left flank while Zang Ba lead his Cavalry Battalion to attack from the right flank, Chao Bai and Chao Bo lead their Battalion from the center flank. The Yellow Turbans don't know what will hit them until it's too late as Lie Fan and Zang Ba battalion slice through their formation from the rear causing mass confusion

Lie Fan like a madman swings his halberd left and right, killing countless Yellow Turbans easily as they don't wear armor or only leather armor with Lie Fan's strength can be sliced effortlessly. Seeing Lie Fan rampaging across the battlefield, Liu Pi alongside The Guard Battalion morale raised and follow Lie Fan slicing or stabbing the Yellow Turbans and never stop riding

Zang Ba on the right flank meets with the Yellow Turbans Archer so his breakthrough was easy and causes massive casualties in his Battalion, the Center flank where Chao Bo and Chao Bai's battalion finally collide with The Yellow Turbans who managed to turn around but too late.

With the Yellow Turbans rear attacked, slowly the confusion goes upward toward the front where the Yellow Turbans who siege Huai'An began to panic as their rear is exposed. The Huai'An army saw the panic and sees the Yellow Turbans' rear is attacked they assumed that Lie Fan was the one who'd do that so their morale rose and began fighting back fiercely

Lie Fan who led Liu Pi and his Guard Battalion continue piercing the Yellow Turban's formation until he reached the center rear where he saw the Yellow Turban:s Commander, Lie Fan began to charge toward him to neutralize the head of the Yellow Turban's army

The YT Commander saw him and turns his horse then rides toward him with his alive to duel him, seeing that Lie Fan readies his halberd, and when they reach each other both of them swing their weapon which clashed against each other.

Lie Fan began to attack the YT Commander aggressively slashing and stabbing towards him so fast and powerful that in their fourth clash, the YT Commander is overwhelmed and his head was decapitated by Lie Fan

While Lie Fan managed to behead the YT Commander he was shot with an arrow in his right shoulder shocking him as he finally feels pain in this world 16 years after his birth where everything feels easy with the system's help, his life flashes before his eyes even though the wound is not serious but this is the first time he feels the pain

Seeing their Lord was injured Liu Pi leads The Guard Battalion to encircle Lie Fan and push towards the left to break out while Liu Pi sound his horn with a code to signal all to regroup back

Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba heard the horn and lead their Battalion to fall back towards their temporary headquarters where Sun Qian is, the Yellow Turban who have lost their commander don't know what to do whether to pursue or continue attacking Huai'An

Lie Fan and Liu Pi reach Sun Qian's first with Xu Kai who was trained in first aid hhelpsbandage and stitch Lie Fan with the arrow taken out slowly, Sun Qian who saw Lie Fan was injured orders Liu Pi to stay beside him and if Lie Fan insist to join the battle once again to stop him

When Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba arrive Sun Qian orders them to enter a defensive formation to prepare against the Yellow Turban's counterattack, and what Sun Qian predicts comes true as some of the Yellow Turbans numbering between 500 to 700 men charge towards them

Seeing that all of them are infantry, Sun Qian ordered the Archer and Guard Battalion to fire their bow at his count with the infantry battalion protecting them and the Cavalry Battalion to be mobile and picking them off

Seeing the Yellow Turbans enters the shooting range, Sun Qian orders the Archery and Guard Battalion to fire releasing 410 arrows at the oncoming Yellow Turbans, inflicting massive damage as almost all the arrows hit their target and that's when Sun Qian order Zang Ba to lead the Cavalry Battalion to charge at the Yellow Turbans

The Yellow Turbans saw that Cavalries is approaching and some of them decide to run away, decreasing their resistance power to counter the oncoming cavalries making them like a pack of sheep meeting wolfs tearing them apart

Lie Fan who was given first aid goes front began to think about how the world began to deviate from history as the Yellow Turban rebellion began one year early thanks to a letter he sent forgetting that some members of the 10 attendants joined the rebellion.

After Lie Fan was given first aid, he left the tent and joined Sun Qian with Liu Pi following behind him to protect him

Lie Fan: "Thank you Master Sun Qian for leading the army in my absences"

Sun Qian: "That's what I should do My Lord, I think now is best for us to go around again and signal for the Huai'An army to go outside and attack the Yellow Turbans while my Lord take a rest first"
