[He Xing]

Troops press harder we must destroy these rebels.

Cheng Pu watched as Lu Bu ripped straight through Zhang Jiao's body, severely damaging the man and placing him on the verge of death. The half-dead fool lay sprawled across the dirty ground, helpless and holding only his spear which he would barely be able to use. Demou smirked before he kicked a handful of bloody mud at Jiao's face, the liquid of both the man's own and everybody else's blood.

"Go to hell, you motherfucking bastard."

Demou raised his spear, then remembered Lu Bu was still there. Of course, it was Fengxian who had nearly killed the man. It was only proper for him to finish off the fool's life. Realizing that Jiao was still armed, Demou stepped back as he didn't let down his guard, signaling to his cavalry to stop the charge on Jiao's personal self and directing them toward Jiao's minions.

"Kill him."

Turning to his own men:

"ZHANG JIAO IS DOWN! SLAUGHTER THESE FUCKING PIGS!"

[Lu Bu]

Still enraged, Lu Bu decapitated Zhang Jiao's head and ran towards the steps of the Palace. He bounded up the steps and stopped where he was higher then the battle below and where He Jin's unit could see. He hefted Jiao's head towards the sky and let out a thunderous howl. Red Hare trotted up the steps after Bu, covered in blood that was not his own.

With victory at hand, Lu Bu's troops gave a morale boosting yell and gave all they had at the Yellow Turbans.

[He Jin]

He Jin praised his son for riding out and routing the remaining troops as Huangfu Song entered the city. The battle was won, clearly. The Emperor was safe and sound and then the most obscure thing happened. A warrior approached He Jin; his archers held their strings but He Jin halted them - watching the man launching a head in the air.. they all understand what this man had done.

"What is your name warrior?"

He questioned, understanding that the leader of the Yellow Turbans was dead and the flocks of Yellow fled from the city to be hunted. He Jin bowed to him, offering him a banquet once the city of Luo Yang was cleansed of the Turbans.

The Turbans from now were broken and leaderless; the ones who hadn't yet died - fled. If they weren't greedy they surrendered others stole horses and ransacked houses or hid. The plains and the city was covered in smoke and bodies which would take months to clean up, truly a bitter war for both sides..

[Lu Bu]

Lu Bu's eye twitched with irritation. He had introduced himself to He Jin before he left with Gongsun Zan that day. How can you forget someone like Lu Bu? Huge imposing armor? Red Pheasant Feather Helmet? Enormous Mount?

"I am Lu Bu....and this is my home."

[Lu Xiang]

Battle Over

He Jin forces win!

Battle Summary

Zhang Jiao attacks an unprepared Luo Yang, quickly racing across the fields; setting fire to them as he goes and breaking through the gates at godspeed. His attack is quickly countered as the regional lords and their warriors are summoned and the battle rages on from the inside of Luoyang. Zhang Jiao proves little of a leader and cannot break through the palace gates now highly defended by He Jin and tries to retreat before running into Lu Bu. Lu Bu already enraged finishes the man by removing his head. Huangfu Song arrives with huge calvary reinforcements and the Yellow Trubans are eradicated from the city now in tatters.
