《The Three Kingdoms》Raider Battalion

The Yellow Turban bandits fled all the way to the north, and Qin Jie was relieved to receive the news from Huang Zhong. From Jing Mountain to the north is Wancheng, Wancheng has Zhu Jun's army stationed there, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry is watching, although the Yellow Turban bandits unexpectedly protrude from Jing Mountain, this is bound to throw themselves to death, defeat is imminent.
Qin Jie did not panic to assemble the army, will be noon, the three military horses just arrived at the northern foot of Jing Mountain, ahead of Huang Zhong has been defeated in an ambush news, Qin Jie and amazed, this group of yellow scarves is not eaten aphrodisiac? The first was to take advantage of the night to break out of the mountain, and now set up an ambush to defeat Huang Zhong, what other unexpected things they will do next?
In a few moments, the remnants of Huang Zhong's army came running back, already disarmed and in a mess, and the brave Huang Zhong was also wounded by arrows.
Qin Jie stopped Huang Zhong's horse and asked, "Han Sheng, you have always been proficient in the art of war, how come you were ambushed by the bandits?"
Huang Zhong's face was full of shame and he had no words to answer.
Cai Mao has always been jealous of Huang Zhong's talent, see this gloating said: "Even a thousand fleeing bandits can not win, brother Han Sheng can really lead the army ah."
Huang Zhong glared at him and Cai Mao laughed coldly.
Qin Jie was annoyed and asked, "Where did Han Sheng meet the ambush?"
Huang Zhong sighed and replied, "20 miles north of here, the old river ditch."
"Old river ditch? Han Sheng, you!"
Qin Jie was extremely angry, the old river ditch is not last night Huang Zhong ambush yellow scarves it! Now in the same place, actually turned around and was ambushed by the Yellow Turban, really can be enough! Qin Jie was about to reprimand Huang Zhong when Zou Jing, who was breaking up the rear, suddenly came rushing in on his horse and shouted to Qin Jie from afar, "Sir, it's not good!"
Qin Jie frowned and asked, "What's the panic?"
Zou Jing said, "I just learned that Ma Yue, the chief of the Yellow Turban bandits, is already in the bandits' army, and this series of unexpected movements may have been planned by him."
Qin Jie was shocked at his words and said, "Is that true?"
The power of Ma Yue, Qin Jie knows, can be regarded by Zhu Jun as the heart of the problem of people, is not easy to deal with? No wonder the bandits unexpectedly broke out during the night and set up an ambush to defeat Huang Zhong in Laohegou, it would not be surprising if all this was planned by Ma Yue.

But Qin Jie was still a bit unconvinced and asked, "Hasn't the bandit chief Ma Yue left alone? How did he appear in the bandits' army again? How do you know?"
Zou Jing sighed and said, "This matter is too coincidental to say. Yesterday morning the bandit chief Ma Yue fled to Yuk County, unexpectedly recognized by the soldiers guarding the gate, my sister happened to rate 300 volunteer soldiers arrived, so to help capture. The chief of thieves was no match for my sister's martial arts, but Ma Yue was too cunning to use a trick to overpower my sister, and escaped all the way to Jing Mountain, so I was able to meet up with the remaining Yellow Turbans who had gone into exile here, and only then did I meet the family general who had tracked me here.
"This is the fate." Qin Jie sighed, then his face changed and he said, "No, Ma Yue is in the bandits' army, I'm afraid there will be a change, all the generals can follow me to chase them."
Unfortunately, Qin Jie's reaction was too slow. When he led his army to Laohegou, he ran into Zhu Jun's army heading south, and saw that Zhu Jun's troops were in a neat formation, not like they had killed each other, so it was obvious that Ma Yue and the remaining Yellow Turbans did not continue to escape to the north, but they did not know where they were going.
Qin Jie met Zhu Jun with his horse and asked anxiously, "General, have you met the remaining Yellow Turbans?"
Zhu Jun wondered, "Didn't Lord Qin's letter say that the remnants of the Yellow Turban had been surrounded by your troops and killed on Jing Mountain, but why are you asking me about this? What is the reason for this?"
Qin Jie looked ashamed and sighed, "I didn't expect that the bandit chief Ma Yue was on the mountain, so I was careless and was taken advantage of by the remaining Yellow Turban.
Zhu Jun said in a harmonious voice: "Lord Qin does not need to blame himself, under your planning, the bandit chief Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Xia, Gong Du and Liu Pei, etc. were all killed, hundreds of thousands of Nanyang Yellow Turbans have been extinguished, although there is a small group of remaining vanish, do not know where to go, has not been enough to fear, although Ma Yue can, I am afraid can not make any waves. This is a great credit that no one can take away. Yesterday, I have already reported the victory to the court with 800 miles of urgency, and praised the merits of the Lord, so the Lord is waiting for the good news of promotion.
Qin Jie's heart was pleased, but his face apologized and said, "I'm really ashamed."

Zhu Jun's expression gradually became grave, said in a deep voice: "I have just received a report on the war in the north, the situation is quite unfavorable, perhaps in a few days the whole army will go north to crush the Yellow Turban chief Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang's troops, the important task of eliminating the remaining Yellow Turban and stabilizing the situation in Nanyang will be entrusted to Lord Qin."
Qin Jie's expression changed and he asked in a low voice, "Is there a change in the situation in Guangzong?"
Zhu Jun nodded with a grave expression and sighed, "Lu Zhi is old and decrepit, he does not know military matters, he is rash and adventurous, he has lost several battles, and now he is trapped in the withered city, the bandits are so powerful that the situation in Jizhou is worrying."
Qin Jie solemnly said: "My official wishes the general a good victory, the day to destroy the bandits in Jizhou."
Zhu Jun clasped his fist and said, "Thank you for your kind words, the military situation is urgent, I should not stay long, I will lead the army back north to make preparations, so goodbye."
Qin Jie also clasped his fist and said, "Take care, General."
"Go!"
Zhu Jun turned his horse's head and gave a whip to the horse's stock, the horse was in pain and let go of its hooves and sped off to the north. Behind Zhu Jun, nearly 10,000 troops turned around with a clang, the rear line became the front army, with a neat pace slowly towards the north, that a sea of the eerie iron armor, cherry red fringe, a different shock to the hearts of several thousand Nanyang soldiers, this is the legendary official army of the Han Dynasty, it is really a name that lives up to its name.
......
Ma Yue, with more than 800 remnants of the Yellow Turban soldiers, from the old river ditch to the east, lightly loaded and fast, all the way to run wildly, a day's work even ran more than a hundred miles! As early as Qin Jie's Nanyang soldiers were left far behind. From Laohegou to the east, they entered the boundary of Biyang County, which suffered the most from the Yellow Turban's tea poisoning, and all along the way, they saw barren fields, dilapidated villages, dead bodies on the road, and no sign of pedestrians.
For more than a hundred miles, Ma Yue could not find a village or market town for plundering, and the soldiers had to continue to roam with hungry stomachs. However, there were advantages and disadvantages to everything. Since there was no one alive within 100 miles, it was impossible for Qin Jie's pursuers to figure out the whereabouts of the remaining Yellow Turbans in a short time, which gave Ma Yue a lot of room for strategic maneuvering.
At the end of the day, a huge manor finally appeared ahead, shining in the twilight with a faint ***.
Pei Yuan Shao excitedly said to Ma Yue, "Bo Qi, look, what a big manor!"
Guan Hai licked his dry lips, his eyes showed a wolf-like gaze, and said in a gloomy voice: "There must be mountains of food inside, the brothers can finally have a full meal."
Ma Yue took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Old Guan, Old Pei, gather the brothers together, I have something to say."
Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao agreed and ran to assemble the team.
"Brothers, quickly lean over, all lean over, the big chief has something to say."
"Damn bear, line up, give me straight back, still not a man?"
"Everyone move faster, hurry up."
"Lying on the ground? Be careful I smack you."
Pei Yuan Shao's shouts and Guan Hai's curses rang out in the twilight, and their very different styles were expressed in the curses.
Soon, more than 800 remaining yellow turban bandits stood one after another in front of Ma Yue, under the lustful authority of Guan Hai, each with chest outstretched belly, trying their best to put on a full of spirit mouth.
Ma Yue jumped onto a rock, took a breath and roared in a muffled voice: "Brothers, the court slandered us as thieves and invaders, some brothers are still not happy. I tell you, it doesn't matter if you are a thief or a kung fu, just call it. As long as we can survive, what's the harm in being a thief or a bandit?"
"We are determined to be a bandit or a bandit, and we want to be the most troublesome bandit to the court! We still have more than 800 men left, so we'll call them the 800 bandits. After we take down the manor in front of us, I'll have a banner made with the words "Eight Hundred Rangers" embroidered on it, so from now on, we're no longer the Yellow Turban Bandits, we're the Eight Hundred Rangers!
"Eight hundred bandits!"
Guan Hai was the first to respond and roared with his arms.
"Eight hundred bandits!"
"Eight hundred stragglers!"
The eight hundred yellow turban bandits who responded responded and roared after them.
Ma Yue abruptly raised his right arm, and the shouts of the yellow turban bandits quickly subsided, which meant that Ma Yue's prestige among the eight hundred stragglers had taken shape initially.
"We are bandits, but we are never rogues! We can rob and kill, but we will never harm the poor people! If anyone dares to disobey my order, don't blame me for not being merciful."

Asturian Warbringer - A LitRPG on Earth
Currently releasing 5 chapters a week Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes. He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought. Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life. Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first. To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in. Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde. But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right? A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path. This is a slow-paced, character-centered story. If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel: Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.

Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)
