Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

He had gathered a million-strong army and assembled six super-powerful generals; could he really be deterred by Huang Zhong's words?!
If word gets out, where will he put his face?

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he was about to retort when Cao Cao raised his hand and pressed down on his shoulder. He looked up at Huang Zhong on the top of the warship and said in a steady voice, "Huang Hansheng, if I don't use my trump card and your lord Lin Mu doesn't come, do you really think that you and Taishi Ci alone can withstand my million-strong army?"

"Clang!~~~" As soon as the words were spoken, Cao Hong and the others beside him immediately drew their weapons and stepped forward, their imposing aura pressing down on Huang Zhong. At the same time, on both sides of the riverbank, densely packed soldiers also raised their weapons, their morale soaring.

"Buzz!~~" A terrifying surge of blood energy erupted, as if forming a dreadful giant wave of blood energy.

Huang Zhong, who was in the center, frowned slightly. If Cao Cao really refused to retreat, then they would have to fight to the death. Although they had the advantage in the early stages, if Cao Cao really fought to the death and used some restrictive measures, then they would really be in trouble with their lord.

His and Taishi Ci's forceful appearance to provide support was intended to intimidate Cao Cao and force him to retreat, thus subduing him without a fight.

Cao Cao's troops were unlike those of others; their morale and fighting spirit were so strong that they were not to be underestimated.

"Since that's the case, then let's fight!" Huang Zhong said in a deep voice, showing no sign of backing down.

After saying that, he suddenly swung his divine blade, and a terrifying blade light surged out, directly slashing towards Xiahou Yuan, who was standing in front of him.

When Huang Zhong made his move, Cao Cao and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Cao all attacked simultaneously, wielding their weapons to block Huang Zhong's blade.

The other party only swung his sword, yet the three of them had to be on high alert. This shows how great the gap was between them.

Just as the three were preparing to block Huang Zhong's blade, Huang Zhong, who had unleashed the blade, did not wait in place. In a flash, he transformed into a yellow shadow and disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared on the battlefield between Yu Jin and Cao Chun!

On the battlefield, Xiahou Dun was the strongest in Cao Cao's camp. He was currently suppressing Yue Jin, but Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci did not come to the rescue. Instead, they were focused on the other two battlefields.

On Zang Ba's battlefield, Taishi Ci actually gathered a lot of strength, but still kept pressing Cao Ren and bombarding him relentlessly.

In fact, just after they sensed the situation of Yu Jin and the other two, they quickly communicated and decided not to go all out or kill them, otherwise they would truly be locked in a life-or-death struggle with Cao Cao.

Their goal was to bring Diao Chan back to Shenlong Valley, not to fight to the death! Not to create a blood feud.

My lord once said that Cao Cao cherishes his fierce generals very much, and if anything happens to the Xiahou brothers or the Cao brothers, Cao Cao will definitely go berserk.

Therefore, they were very restrained; otherwise, if the two of them had attacked directly with long-range arrows, Cao Cao and the others would definitely not have been able to withstand it.

One arrow could destroy a large area; with hundreds of arrows falling, Cao Cao's camp would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

But they didn't do that; instead, they fought back in close combat.

"Hansheng, what should we do?" Taishi Ci secretly asked Huang Zhong.

“You keep pressing, I’ll give Cao Chun a real blow,” Huang Zhong replied.

In the blink of an eye, Huang Zhong appeared behind Cao Chun like a ghost.

Cao Chun, who was evenly matched with Yu Jin, suddenly felt a deadly killing intent enveloping him, and a chilling cold rose up from his bones.

Without hesitation, he took Yu Jin's spear head-on without dodging, the blow shattering Yu Jin's divine energy shield. Then he immediately rolled to the side to avoid it.

But Huang Zhong's divine blade appeared like lightning, slashing directly at Cao Chun's chest. The next moment, the terrifying blade seemed to pierce through his chest.

"Huang Hansheng, if you really kill someone, I will fight you to the death!!!" Just then, Cao Cao, who had just worn down Huang Zhong's blade, saw Huang Zhong slashing at Cao Chun and roared.

Actually, Huang Zhong's stance was very fierce at first, but he had already held back seven-tenths of his strength, otherwise he would have killed Cao Chun long ago.

Cao Chun was only a mere Third-Rank Divine General at this moment. The difference in their abilities was so great that they were no match for each other.

"Pfft!!!" The divine blade, imbued with terrifying aura, directly cleaved through Cao Chun's Heavenly Rank armor. The Heavenly Rank armor shattered into fragments and flew out. The terrifying attack was reduced by a fraction, but it still left a deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest.

"Pfft!!!" Cao Chun was sent flying by the blow, crashing heavily into the forest on the right bank, leaving a ditch several dozen feet long. The ditch directly affected hundreds of soldiers nearby, killing them instantly.

"Zihe!!!" Cao Cao's eyes widened in fury when he saw the ravine. He roared and his murderous aura almost solidified as it swept straight toward Huang Zhong.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren ignored their opponents and charged directly at Huang Zhong, while Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao also rushed towards Huang Zhong without regard for their own safety.

As for Cao Hong, he decisively went to check on Cao Chun's condition.

Cao Chun lay limp at the end of the ravine, the deep, bone-revealing wound on his body extremely glaring, one could almost feel the piercing pain just by looking at it.

The five super generals moved simultaneously, all rushing towards Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong's attack had truly enraged them.

All five attacks were fueled by overwhelming rage, as if they wished to kill Huang Zhong on the spot.

The fastest Xiahou Dun arrived, but Huang Zhong neither dodged nor evaded, instead using his divine blade to block the attack, forcefully taking Xiahou Dun's furious blow. A clang rang out, the sound of metal clashing against metal causing the surrounding air to explode. Huang Zhong's figure only swayed slightly, while Xiahou Dun was forced back dozens of feet.

"Xiahou Yuanrang, your opponent is me." Le Jin followed closely behind and attacked, his spear thrusting straight at Xiahou Dun's back, forcing Xiahou Dun to turn around and block, thus entangling him once again.

Then, Cao Cao and his men attacked. Huang Zhong swung his divine blade and delivered a semi-circular horizontal slash, directly blocking the attacks of the three men.

"Boom!!!" A huge sound reverberated, and the three collision sounds seemed to occur simultaneously.

On Cao Hong's side, he checked on Cao Chun's condition and found that he was only seriously injured, but not in mortal danger.

He quickly plugged the pill into the air intake and breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he picked up Cao Chun and retreated to the rear, away from the battlefield.

Cao Chun's strength is similar to his and Cao Ren's. If Huang Zhong can so easily injure Cao Chun, then if they go up to him, they will only be easy prey.

"Bang!~~~~" Cao Cao and the others, enraged, attacked, but were directly cleaved in two by Huang Zhong's blade. The force of the recoil sent the three of them flying.

The difference is really obvious!

The men who were sent flying did not hear Cao Hong's voice, and thus knew that Cao Chun was not dead.

They knew that Huang Zhong had held back; otherwise, given Cao Chun's condition, if Huang Zhong had gone all out, Cao Chun, without any trump cards, would have had no chance of survival.

Huang Zhong's purpose was clear: to wound but not kill, thus dampening their morale!

Yu Jin, Taishi Ci, and the others took the opportunity to put away their weapons and stand up, coming to Huang Zhong's side and staring at the four people who had been blasted away and then regrouped.

Yu Jin clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Brother Mengde, would you please stop?"

He had a brief encounter with Cao Cao, and the two were quite fond of each other.

After Cao Cao and his men made some adjustments, they did not attack immediately.

At this point, neither side really has the possibility of fighting to the death.

“There are many armies of various warlords around Mei County, and Lu Bu’s Bingzhou army is also eyeing it from the outside. If we two tigers fight, one of us will surely be injured. If anything changes, we may be eliminated. I hope Brother Mengde will consider this carefully.” Yu Jin explained to him with reason.

What Yu Jin and the others didn't know was that after Cao Cao launched his attack, a hidden army in the distant mountains and forests had already begun to move and was surging towards the battlefield.

Cao Cao had already received reports from the scouts... Therefore, if he couldn't succeed quickly, he couldn't delay and had to decisively let go, otherwise he would be in a very passive situation.

Yu Jin's words make a lot of sense. The stronger Bingzhou army did not attack the city as Wang Yun and others had predicted. If something changes, the Bingzhou army and the Xiliang army might annihilate them together!
They had never fully trusted Lü Bu's rebellion; they were always on guard against him. Huang Zhong waved his hand, turned his blade, and pointed at Cao Hong, who was rushing to their aid, saying, "No need for further words, Ziyi, you and I will act as escorts for the warships and break through!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zhong leaped onto the warship.

Then Taishi Ci, Le Jin, Zang Ba, Yu Jin, and others also jumped onto the boat.

Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci went to the bow of the boat, while the others went to the stern, forming a protective net.

Seeing this, Cao Cao and the others did not stop it...

Before Cao Cao could even respond to Yu Jin's words, Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci began clearing the river channel, allowing the warships to speed up again.

Cao Cao stood there, his face grim as he watched the warship slowly accelerate. His fingers gripped the hilt of his sword so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

How could he not see that Huang Zhong was deliberately holding back, only injuring him and not killing him, clearly giving him face and leaving him a way out? But the more Huang Zhong did this, the angrier he became.

The enemy, though only a few people, overwhelmed his million-strong army, and they seemed to be at a disadvantage, not daring to make any rash moves.

The most beautiful goddess in the world, Diao Chan, was right before him, separated only by a boat door, yet now it felt as if they were separated by a thousand miles… He could only…

To dare to act so cautiously in front of his million-strong army is nothing short of blatant contempt.

However, he had to admit that Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci's strength had indeed exceeded his expectations.

Although I had heard of it before, actually facing it, the terrifying sense of oppression and crushing force was really unbearable.

With Huang Zhong, a top-tier general, in command, even if his side had six more super generals, they would be completely suppressed.

Cao Chun was seriously injured and had to leave the field. The remaining few were no match for Huang Zhong alone. There was also Taishi Ci, who was even more powerful and was holding back, standing by. What should they do?
If the fighting continues, who knows how many more people will be injured? If all the clan's fierce generals are lost here, his large-scale mobilization this time will become a joke.

"Enough!" Cao Cao roared, his voice echoing across the entire battlefield: "All of you, stand back!"

As soon as Cao Cao spoke, the soldiers hastily withdrew, displaying remarkable composure.

Of course, they were probably also afraid that Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci's attacks would fall on them.

In just a short while, dozens of ships blocking the river had been reduced to fragments and sunk to the bottom. The thousands of soldiers on board also perished at the bottom of the river…

However, Cao Cao's archers also fired wildly, and the warships were riddled with arrows.

But if we really fight to the death, how many of our million-strong army would have to sacrifice to take them down? Would it be worth it?
It wasn't worth it... so Cao Cao called for a halt.

Afterwards, Cao Cao ordered the fleet to move to both sides, clearing the river for the warship riddled with arrows to leave.

Cao Cao and his men stood on the riverbank, watching the warships retreat like the Grim Reaper, their faces grim.

The plan was excellent, with precise timing and location, but unfortunately, they were outmatched and couldn't snatch the food from the tiger's mouth!

"Attack the city!" Cao Cao shouted, his eyes bloodshot, as his warships disappeared completely into the darkness of the river.

Diao Chan, his wife, just left like that. It was too humiliating. He felt a surge of anger that needed to be vented.

The other soldiers were in the same situation, being overwhelmed by five men and barely able to breathe. It was too humiliating!

Therefore, in order to boost morale, let's attack the city and wash away the shame with victory!

He didn't care whether the Bingzhou army was truly opposed to Dong Zhuo, whether Lin Mu's troops were inside the city, or how many soldiers were on the other side of the river. At this moment, all he wanted was to kill!

"Yes, sir!!" Xiahou Dun knew that his lord Cao Cao's decision was the most correct one at this moment.

Thus, at Cao Cao's command, a million-strong army began to rush towards the river.

Frustrated, the Xiahou brothers and Cao brothers took the lead, diving directly into the river and following the riverbed into the city.

Behind them, dozens of people lined up and began to dive into the water and infiltrate the city.

There is a very narrow section of this river, and the Earth-rank warship that Diao Chan was riding on was actually modified to be very long and short, which is why it was able to pass through.

The garrison on the other side of the river knew the enemy was coming the moment Xiahou Dun and his men went into the water.

Although the battlefield and the riverbank inside the city were several miles apart, the terrifying commotion still reached them, and the defending troops were on high alert.

After swimming for nearly an incense stick's time, the Xiahou brothers and others finally crossed the thick city wall and river road.

When they emerged from the water and entered the city, they were greeted not with flowers, but with crossbow bolts!
"Whoosh!~~~" A series of dull bowstring vibrations rang out as nearly forty terrifying crossbow bolts, carrying terrifying destructive power, bombarded the area.

The roaring and shaking caused the river water to tremble violently, creating terrifying gullies.

"Boom!!!" The crossbow bolts struck the people who had emerged from the river, creating a terrifying shockwave.

After being hit by several crossbow bolts, Xiahou Dun's divine energy shield did not shatter, but he felt a churning sensation inside his body.

"What kind of crossbow is this? It's so powerful!" Xiahou Dun's expression changed slightly.

If it were an ordinary divine general, they definitely wouldn't be able to withstand this round of attacks!

"What? How is this possible?!" The garrison commander's expression changed drastically upon seeing that the men were unharmed.

He knew they were coming for a tough opponent!

"Smash the jar!!!" the commander roared.

"Clang... Crack! ~~~" Then, breaking sounds continued to come from both sides of the river.

A pungent smell of kerosene filled the air.

Without hesitation, the commander took out his bow and arrow, lit the arrow, and shot it fiercely towards the river.

"Boom!~~~" A terrifying flame spread rapidly along the river surface.

Even so, the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers jumped out of the river and used their weapons to cleave the riverbed.

The terrifying aura even caused the river to stop flowing at one point, and the oil was splashed directly onto both banks, igniting the supplies placed on both sides...

Without holding back, the group jumped ashore and began a head-on confrontation with the Xiliang army.

After that, a steady stream of Cao Cao's troops poured out.

Many of the measures prepared by the defending army posed little threat to high-ranking divine generals.

As expected, Cao Cao easily captured this defensive position.

If a million-strong army wanted to swim in through the river, with twenty people in each row, it would take fifty thousand rows to swim in, which would take a lot of time.

Cao Cao, standing on the riverbank outside the city, was protecting his soldiers as they entered the water.

Just then, a messenger arrived to report that Yuan Shu's men had arrived!
