Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2175 Xuanyuan Twins, Kuohai Slays Feiyu

Two hours later, when the time was almost up,

Zhao Yun ordered the catapult troops to temporarily cease fire, while he personally led his troops in three directions to attack Yun County, a classic tactic of encircling three sides and leaving one open.

Under Zhao Yun's personal leadership, less than an hour later, Zhao Yun's troops had already stormed the city wall and used the opportunity to gain position so that more Han soldiers could climb up.

Cheng Yun, who was directing operations from the city wall, saw that all the men he sent out were being driven back, and that more and more Han soldiers were climbing the city walls. He guessed that there must be some experts among the Han army.

After all, the soldiers he sent out to drive away the Han troops who had climbed the city walls were the only elite troops under his command.

"Chaoyun and Muyun, you two go and kill the Han general!" Cheng Yun sent out the only two strong generals he had.

The Chaoyun and Muyun he mentioned were Huangfu Chaoyun and Xu Muyun, hidden characters implanted into the Great Yan.

Moreover, they were also Xuanyuan Huang's apprentices and nephews, half-brothers.

Although both of them were young, one was 23 years old and the other was 25 years old, they had both reached the peak of the Heavenly level.

These two were not only the strongest fighting force that Cheng Yun could control, but also the strongest fighting force that Zhu Zhao could control.

Because this county town was Zhu Zhao's last line of defense, crossing it would lead directly to Ping County. Unable to provide Cheng Yun with more troops, Zhu Zhao sent all of his Flying Feather Ten Generals and Xu Muyun over.

"Don't worry, General!" Xu Muyun replied coldly, but Huangfu Chaoyun answered very humbly.

Although Zhao Yun possesses the strength of a divine general, he would undoubtedly be superior to either of these two in a one-on-one fight.

However, these two were already quite skilled. With two peak Heavenly Realm experts joining forces, even if a Divine General could defeat them, it wouldn't be something they could do in a short time.

Not to mention, whether in the game or in the movie, they are both the twins of Xuanyuan, the embodiment of Xuanyuan sword energy, and there are combo skills between them.

If the two of them join forces, they are enough to defeat many ordinary divine generals.

Zhao Yun didn't actually want to fight these two men, because his mission was to cover the soldiers' ascent of the city, not to fight the enemy generals alone.

Even if he fights fiercely and defeats the enemy general, if the number of soldiers who climb the city walls is not high enough, he cannot take down the city by himself.

Moreover, he couldn't afford to waste too much time in this city.

His strategy for attacking the city today, to put it bluntly, is to take advantage of the fact that the enemy's troops are of varying quality.

However, if the city cannot be captured in one fell swoop, the enemy's troops may gradually change in a short period of time. Once these new recruits adapt, the same methods will no longer be effective.

To put it bluntly, this method is just bullying new recruits, and it's far less effective against veterans.

The battlefield allows new recruits to transform into veterans in the shortest amount of time.

Therefore, this city could only be captured in one fell swoop.

However, if he didn't fight these two men himself, but instead sent his soldiers to deal with them while Zhao Yun went to deal with the Yan army soldiers, the Han army would probably retreat even faster, since the city walls were still the Yan army's home ground.

Zhao Yun's efficiency in killing enemies alone could not compare to those two. He was also unlike Li Yuanba and Tuoba Longxiang, who were known for their exceptional killing efficiency.

If he had Li Yuanba's efficiency in clearing out enemy troops, let alone two people, even if the enemy doubled their numbers, they still wouldn't be able to outlast him.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, Zhao Yun decisively accepted the challenge.

Huangfu Chaoyun shook off the bloodstains on his halberd, looked at Zhao Yun who was blocking his way, and instead of the hostility shown by the other generals, smiled kindly and said, "General Zilong's name is renowned throughout the land."

"Huangfu Chaoyun and his brother Muyun are willing to learn from the general's superior skills!"

For some reason, Zhao Yun felt a natural affinity for this young man.

Therefore, he responded with a friendly smile, "Young general, you are exceptionally brave and valiant, so why should you risk your life for the Great Yan?"

"Although Xuanyuan Huang is an outstanding man, there are many good and bad people in the Great Yan Dynasty. All discerning people in the world know that the Great Yan Dynasty is unlikely to improve!"

"If the young general wishes to join our Han Dynasty, I, Zhao Zilong, am willing to personally vouch for him and recommend him to His Majesty!"

Unfortunately, Zhao Yun's good intentions were ultimately in vain!
"General Zilong, my brother and I have been learning swordsmanship from His Majesty since childhood, and His Majesty is also our uncle!"

"Could it be that General Zilong wants my brother and me to be disloyal and unfilial?"

Although Huangfu Chaoyun also had a natural affinity for this white-robed, silver-spear general, it was a pity that the two of them were ultimately generals of different countries.

Xuanyuan Huang was not only their ruler, but also their teacher and uncle. If the two of them were to betray him, they would not only be disloyal, but also unfilial.

"That's fine!"

"Young general, swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield, be careful!"

Upon hearing the other party's identity, Zhao Yun knew that it was impossible for them to surrender, so he decisively charged forward with his spear.

"Ding, Zhao Yun's skill 'God of War' has been activated, increasing his martial prowess by 4. His base martial prowess is now 105 (+1), and his Dragon Gallant Silver Spear skill has been increased by 1. His current martial prowess has risen to 110."

"Ding, Huangfu Chaoyun's skill 'Martial King' has been activated, increasing martial power by 3, base martial power by 104, Black Dragon Halberd by 1, and current martial power has increased to 108."

"Ding, Xu Muyun's skill 'Martial King' has been activated, increasing martial power by 3, base martial power by 104, Golden Wolf Sword by 1, and current martial power by 108."

"Ding! Huangfu Chaoyun and Xu Muyun's combined skill, Sacred Path of Xuanyuan, has been activated."

The Sacred Path of Xuanyuan, a unique combination skill of the twins Huangfu Chaoyun and Xu Muyun, can only be activated when both of them enter the battlefield and are simultaneously in combat.

Effect 1: Xuanyuan Sword Qi. After this skill is activated, both characters' attack power increases by four.

Effect 2: The Twins of Xuanyuan merge into one. When one of them dies, the other's overall attributes increase by 1, and the awakened skill Holy Sword is granted.

Effect 3: Master of Xuanyuan Sword, when the two people who have pledged their allegiance to appear on the same battlefield, their martial prowess +3, command +2, and intelligence +2, and increase the martial prowess of the allied general by 2 points, command by 1 point, and intelligence by 1 point. The two effects cannot be stacked on the same person.

Effect 4, the Sword of the Holy Path, can provide a certain degree of protection to the entire army. If your side is affected by a negative skill effect that affects the entire army, as long as the actual negative effect is greater than one point, the negative skill effect received by the entire army can be forcibly reduced by one point.

Effect Five: Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil. After activation, this skill can seal a random skill of a demon-type skill user, up to sealing all of their skills. However, it cannot affect users of true god skills.

Huangfu Chaoyun and Xu Muyun are the reincarnations of the Sacred Sword Xuanyuan Sword, and their combined skill is also called Sacred Sword Xuanyuan. Just from the name, you know the effect will be amazing. The two of them can be said to be the embodiment of the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Ding! The combined skill 'Sacred Path of Xuanyuan' by Huangfu Chaoyun and Xu Muyun has been activated. Xuanyuan Sword Qi. After this skill is activated, the martial power of both of them will increase by four at the same time."

Huangfu Chaoyun's martial prowess increased by 4, bringing his current martial prowess to 112.

Xu Muyun's martial prowess increased by 4, bringing her current martial prowess to 112.

Zhao Yun's Dragon Gallant Silver Spear moved like a serpent spitting its tongue, a cold star piercing straight for Huangfu Chaoyun's throat. It was so fast that it was almost a blur. It could be said that a cold light arrived first, followed by the spear moving like a dragon.

Huangfu Chaoyun roared, his arms bulging with muscles, and the heavy black dragon halberd, carrying a fierce wind, swung fiercely from bottom to top without dodging or yielding. The crescent-shaped branches on the halberd blade viciously locked onto the spear shaft, intending to deflect or even cut it off!

Just as the halberd and spear were about to collide, Zhao Yun flicked his wrist, and the spear tip suddenly dropped, accurately striking the weakest point of the halberd shaft, producing a crisp collision sound!

The immense recoil caused Huangfu Chaoyun's arm to go slightly numb, and his halberd strike faltered.

Zhao Yun used the slight recoil to spin like a top, and his spear swept to the side and rear like a whip.

Just now, while Zhao Yun and Huangfu Chaoyun were exchanging blows, Xu Muyun also made a move at the same time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly approached Zhao Yun and silently stabbed at the gap in his ribs!

"Well done!" Zhao Yun felt a sudden sense of danger and spun around, his spear shaft narrowly missing the spine of the sword.

Xu Muyun's sword slid along the gun barrel, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound and sending up a few sparks.

When his first strike missed, he twisted his wrist, and the blade of his sword rapidly slashed upwards along the shaft of the spear, aiming straight for Zhao Yun's fingers that were gripping the spear—a vicious and cunning move!

Zhao Yun's pupils contracted slightly, and his five fingers suddenly tightened and loosened. The spear spun rapidly half a circle in his palm as if it were alive, and the spearhead slammed out with a heavy force, accurately striking the swordsman's wrist!
This unexpected move forced the swordsman to withdraw his sword and retreat quickly to defend.

The moment the three clashed, the two brothers displayed remarkable teamwork.

In particular, one person was entangled with Zhao Yun using a long weapon, while the other was pressing forward with a sword.

Even with Zhao Yun's extensive experience, he did not gain the slightest advantage.

In that brief moment, Zhao Yun witnessed the prowess of these two brothers.

If he weren't still relatively inexperienced, he probably wouldn't be a match for these two working together.

However, Zhao Yun, a veteran of many battles, remained calm and composed even when facing a formidable enemy, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities. No matter how strong the two brothers were, they could not possibly drive him off the wall!

He had noticed that Xiong Kuohai had also climbed onto the city wall while the three of them were fighting.

However, Zhao Yun did not ask Xiong Kuohai for help. With Xiong Kuohai's strength, he could certainly help Zhao Yun deal with one of the two.

However, his task was even more important: to cover the troops below as quickly as possible to scale the city walls.

Because while the Chaoyun and Muyun brothers were entangled with Zhao Yun, Yunlong had already ordered the other generals among the Flying Feather Ten Generals to begin clearing out the Han soldiers who had climbed the city wall.

Without Xiong Kuohai's protection, the soldiers would not have been able to gain a foothold on this city wall.

Meanwhile, on Xiong Kuohai's side, although some of the other members of the Flying Feather Ten Generals also sent some to deal with him...

Among the Ten Flying Feather Generals, apart from Huangfu Chaoyun who is the strongest, the remaining nine are also quite powerful. Those ranked higher are capable of reaching the Heavenly level, although they are basically only just beginning to enter that rank.

However, it was the few at the back who were the first to surround them.

Tu Wei, Zhu Li, Shang Heng, Zhao Yang, and Shang Zhang joined forces, but after ten moves, Xiong Kuohai, wielding a pair of sun and moon axes, forcibly killed Shang Zhang and Zhu Li.

Even though You Zhao, whose basic combat strength is 101, joined in, he was still overwhelmed by Xiong Kuohai alone.

Under Xiong Kuohai's cover, another 300 Han soldiers climbed down the city wall. Including the initial ones, there were now more than 600 Han soldiers on the city wall.

As more and more Han soldiers climbed the city walls, Zhao Yun finally stopped defending alone. After forcing back the Chao Yun brothers who were fighting against him, he led his soldiers in the final main attack.

Six hundred Han soldiers—that number doesn't seem like much compared to the garrison inside the city.

But what is the quality of the garrison in the city?
Six hundred men were enough for him to launch his final assault.

With Zhao Yun and Xiong Kuohai leading six hundred Han soldiers, they formed a battle formation at the fastest speed, so even Huangfu Chaoyun and Xu Muyun dared not rely on their own courage to force their way in.

If they want to break through, they need soldiers to accompany them.

However, the soldiers behind them had been severely depleted when they followed them to drive out the Han army that had climbed the city wall. The remaining soldiers who surrounded them were simply not of good enough quality to form a tight military formation.

In this situation, if they were to force their way through and their soldiers were scattered, they would be in grave danger if they were surrounded by six hundred men!

Xu Muyun, in particular, who uses a sword as a weapon, is most afraid of being alone in a hail of bullets.

"Yan Feng, think of something quickly!"

"If this continues, we brothers won't be able to stop them!" Zhao Yang shouted anxiously to Huangfu Chaoyun beside him.

The Ten Flying Feather Generals used the Heavenly Stems Yan Feng, Duan Meng, You Zhao, Qiang Wu, Tu Wei, Zhu Li, Shang Heng, Zhao Yang, Heng Ai, and Shang Zhang as their code names. They addressed each other by these code names in daily life, and it was not that their real names were these code names.

Huangfu Chaoyun's code name is Yanfeng, which is the first of the Heavenly Stems.

"The enemy's elite forces are difficult to annihilate!" Huangfu Chaoyun's face also turned grim with anxiety.

The quality of the two armies is vastly different. They can't even hold their ground. If they want to launch a counterattack and drive the enemy into the city, their formation will likely be disrupted, and they will be annihilated instead.

At that moment, while the two were talking, a flying axe suddenly struck Zhao Yang on the neck, killing him instantly.

It was Xiong Kuohai who made the move.

These people, though each with their own talents, are still quite young.

Xiong Kuohai hadn't expected that on the battlefield, while it's all about talking, Zhao Yang had actually turned his head to speak, acting like a complete novice with little battlefield experience.

Therefore, he simply used his Sun and Moon Twin Axes as throwing axes, hurling them from six or seven steps away, hitting the opponent squarely in the neck.
