Chapter 575 The Power of an Arrow
Soon, Lu Xun showed a familiar expression, with shock and fear in his expression, and even the hand holding the sword was shaking a little.

Zhang Liao led the Iron Pagoda and moved forward as if he were in an empty land. Anyone who blocked their way was killed, and they didn't even have the ability to resist.

Seeing that Zhang Liao and his men were getting closer and closer to him, Lu Xun no longer hesitated. After leaving an order to retreat, he turned around and ran.

Among the 30,000-strong army, some had already started running even without Lu Xun's order. With Lu Xun's order, they ran even faster without even looking back.

When Lu Xun led his men back to the city, less than 15,000 of the 50,000 troops he had led out had returned.

Seeing Lu Xun panting and in a miserable state, Sun Quan immediately stepped forward.

"Hey, Boyan, what happened to you? Didn't you go to besiege Zhang Liao? Why are you still in such a mess?"

In response to Sun Quan's ridicule, Lu Xun looked at Sun Quan unwillingly, but still said nothing.

He still couldn't figure out how Zhang Liao had conjured up more than two hundred people out of thin air.

Zhang Liao led his men all the way to the city. Seeing the Yangzhou army in the city trembling with fear, Zhang Liao sneered, turned around and walked slowly away.

"General, you are amazing. You actually managed to trick the people of Yangzhou out of the city."

A centurion looked at Zhang Liao excitedly.

After fighting with Lu Xun for two consecutive days, their casualties had exceeded one hundred. This was not a good thing for the Iron Pagoda with only five hundred people. Even several centurions began to persuade Zhang Liao to defend the city and not attack again.

But then Zhang Liao not only did not listen to the advice of several centurions and defend the city honestly, but chose to attack by force.

Just when they were about to vent their dissatisfaction, Zhang Liao suddenly told them that as soon as the two sides fought, some of the Iron Pagodas had to lie down and pretend to be corpses.

Just like that, after a few days, the number of so-called corpses had reached two hundred.

In order to make it look more realistic, Zhang Liao even ordered that only 150 tents be prepared, and even 150 rations be prepared.

This also led to the fact that the entire Iron Pagoda was never full. With 350 people, only 150 people had enough rations. It would be strange if they could get enough to eat.

However, after just a few days, Lu Xun couldn't help but come out to fight them.

"The Jiangdong rats have been suppressed and beaten by us all the time, and have always wanted to vent their anger. Now we give them a chance, of course they don't want to miss it. This person, what he wants is his biggest weakness."

The centurion standing by didn't understand what Zhang Liao said, but he knew that as long as he followed Zhang Liao, he would definitely have military merits, and they would be great merits, and he would be looking at rewards every minute.

"Okay, there's no need for us to stay here. Let's go back. I don't want to miss the battle in Jiaozhou."

Of the 100,000 soldiers in Wu County, only 20,000 are left. It is difficult for them to defend the city, let alone take the initiative to attack.

Lu Xun reported all the information about Wujun to Sun Jian.

The intelligence did not say anything wrong about Sun Quan, nor did it even mention that Sun Quan led his troops out of the city without permission. It just said that he fought against Zhang Liao and suffered heavy losses.

But Sun Jian had placed his own spies around each general, so he was certainly aware of what Sun Quan was doing.

Looking at the news that came to him one after another, and the intelligence sent to him by his spies on the table, Sun Jian smiled.

It was obvious that Lu Xun wanted to protect Sun Quan.

Sun Jian also knew about the relationship between the two in Wujun. His spies had told him long ago that Lu Xun was willing to take the blame for Sun Quan, and Sun Jian was also very surprised.

Since he is taking the blame for his son, I certainly won't punish him.

Sun Jian only gave Lu Xun a symbolic fine of half a year's salary, that was all.

The Lu family is a big family in Jiangdong. Half a year's salary is a drop in the bucket for the Lu family. Lu Xun didn't care at all. However, he was surprised that Sun Jian only punished him with such a small amount. He even doubted whether Sun Jian knew that he was taking the blame for Sun Quan.

Compared with Zhang Liao's victory, Gu Rubing had much more trouble.

The armies of Parthia and Rome have entered the territories of the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions. In order to prevent the war from spreading to Liang Province, Gu Rubing also took Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci to fight.

Looking at the 100,000 people in front of him, even with five famous generals leading the way, Gu Rubing suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and at the same time, his hatred for Cao Cao and Sun Jian became even stronger.

Instead of enjoying the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, he has to ask people from the West to come and cause trouble for him.

Gu Rubing had already made up his mind that when he returned, he would teach those two shameless guys a lesson.

When Huang Zhong faced the five famous generals, there was no trace of panic in his eyes, but he was very excited instead.

Because Huang Zhong knew that his battle to become a god would begin here.

Soon, the coalition forces stopped not far from Gu Rubing's army.

"King Lie of the Han Dynasty, please come out and see me."

A famous general stood up and shouted at Gu Rubing and the others.

Gu Rubing did not hesitate and stood up directly.

After seeing Gu Rubing coming out, the man bowed to Gu Rubing.

"Your Highness, I am Pompey of the Roman Empire. This time I want to ask you to go back. Although our coalition forces have to send troops for various reasons, we do not want to be your enemy. As long as you give us the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, we promise that we will not cause trouble to the Han Dynasty for the time being."

"Give it to you? Where's your face? I conquered this territory, and you said you would give it to me, so wouldn't my fight be in vain? I'm your father? I'll give you whatever you want."

Hearing Gu Rubing's curse, Pompey's face turned red instantly. Of course, he knew that this was not good, but he didn't have any good solution. They didn't want to fight this battle anyway.

Seeing that there was no hope of negotiation, Pompey had no choice but to give the order to take action.

Huang Zhong also rushed forward with Taishi Ci.

As soon as they fought.

Huang Zhong opened the Red Blood Sword and fought against the three famous generals alone.

Taishi Ci stopped the last two.

The three famous generals, led by Pompey, launched a frenzied offensive against Huang Zhong. They all knew Huang Zhong's reputation as an archer, so they naturally did not dare to give Huang Zhong a chance to shoot, and they all stuck to Huang Zhong and fought.

Huang Zhong had expected this situation, and he had no intention of using a bow and arrow.

After the two sides fought for a while, Huang Zhong no longer concealed his weakness, but directly launched the Heart Blood.

A mouthful of blood sprayed onto the red blood knife.

Soon, the Red Blood Knife changed from red to gold.

This is also the strongest state of the Red Blood Sword.

Seeing Huang Zhong rushing towards him, Pompey immediately swung his sword to block.

However, at the moment the two sides came into contact, Pompey suddenly felt that Huang Zhong's strength was astonishingly great.

The force was so powerful that he almost dropped the knife in his hand.

"Antony, Trajan, what are you doing? Take action!"

Pompey knew he could not stop Huang Zhong, so he immediately asked for help from the two famous generals around him. Seeing this, Antony and Trajan immediately swung their swords at Huang Zhong's waist.

Huang Zhong snorted coldly and swung his sword to push the two men back.

Then he rushed towards Pompey again.

Pompey was feeling extremely miserable at this moment. Among the three people present, he couldn't understand why Huang Zhong targeted him?

Having been able to withstand Huang Zhong's sword attack before was already his limit. Now seeing Huang Zhong rushing towards him again, Pompey did not stop and turned around to run.

When Huang Zhong wanted to give chase, he was stopped by Antony and Trajan.

Pompey felt relieved by the actions of these two men. After watching the three men fighting for several rounds, Pompey felt that Huang Zhong would not target him anymore, so he joined the battle again.

However, just as he joined the battle, Huang Zhong suddenly started to target Pompey again.

After withstanding two sword attacks from Huang Zhong, Pompey shouted loudly, using all his strength to push Huang Zhong back a step, then turned around and ran away.

"Even more of a coward than Jiang Dong."

Huang Zhong looked at Pompey's back and snorted coldly, his eyes full of mockery.

However, Pompey didn't care about Huang Zhong's ridicule at all. Huang Zhong was like a madman, staring at him all the time. As long as he came on the court, he would grab him and beat him. He didn't want to provoke such a madman again.

With Pompey's official withdrawal, the pressure on Trajan and Antony doubled. After fighting for dozens of rounds, both of them became breathless and had wounds of varying degrees on their bodies.

"Where's Pompey? What's he doing?"

Trajan looked at the battlefield around him. It was in chaos, but he did not see any trace of Pompey.

"I don't know. This guy must have been beaten away. I shouldn't have helped him."

Anthony on the side said unhappily, still covering his wound with one hand.

In contrast, Huang Zhong's face was slightly red, and he didn't look out of breath at all, and he looked relatively relaxed.

"Come again."

Huang Zhong didn't want to let the two men escape, so he rushed towards them.

The two had no choice but to continue fighting with Huang Zhong.

An hour later, Anthony had reached his limit. After taking a blow from Huang Zhong, the knife in his hand was directly knocked away.

Just as Huang Zhong's knife was about to fall on him, Trajan arrived in time, swung his knife, and slashed at Huang Zhong's back.

However, Huang Zhong was not afraid at all and had no intention of fighting back to defend himself. He just hacked Antony to death, and Trajan also cut a huge wound on his back.

Seeing Antony die at the hands of Huang Zhong, Trajan subconsciously took a few steps back.

After being hit by his sword, Huang Zhong didn't make any sound. Instead, he turned around and looked at Anthony with no emotion in his eyes. The most important thing was that Huang Zhong's aura not only did not weaken at all, but it even showed the same aura as Sun Ce did at the beginning, or even stronger.

When Anthony died in battle, Huang Zhong had already become a legendary general.

Huang Zhong did not rush forward to attack Trajan, but took out the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow in front of Trajan.

"Arrow God"

As Huang Zhong's voice sounded, a red light suddenly appeared on the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow, and then a huge shadow of a bow and arrow appeared behind Huang Zhong.

All the phantoms gathered on the arrow in Huang Zhong's hand.

As Huang Zhong released the bowstring, the arrow in his hand turned into flames.

Wherever the flames passed, everyone they touched was burned to ashes.

Trajan swung his sword to block, but at the moment of contact, the sword in Trajan's hand turned into molten iron, and then his body burned in his own shocked eyes, and finally turned into ashes.

However, Huang Zhong's arrows continued to fly.

On the battlefield with nearly 200,000 people, a chasm of fire appeared at this moment. All the people on the road were reduced to ashes. Even the road where the rocket flew was filled with terrifying flames and high temperatures, forcing people nearby to avoid it.

The entire melee ended with both sides stopping the fighting unanimously because of Huang Zhong's action.

Gu Rubing's eyes widened when he saw this scene.

Huang Zhong's attack was so powerful that he killed at least five thousand enemies with this arrow.

The only bad thing was that it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. After all, the two sides were in a melee, and nearly hundreds of people on our side were burned to death.

Huang Zhong also noticed this, and quickly retracted his bow and arrow, sighing helplessly.

Gu Rubing opened the panel and checked Huang Zhong's abilities.

【Name: Huang Zhong】

[Legendary General Points: (5/100)

Arrow Points: (2/100)]

【characteristic……】

[Skill: Arrow God Possession (Special Skill): After Huang Zhong became a legendary general, he activated the Arrow God ability in the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow, increasing all attributes by 1000%. Arrow God Possession Effect: A special skill for legendary generals, which can temporarily summon the power of the Fire Kirin in the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow, +1000% arrow flight speed, +500m arrow distance, +1000% arrow power, lasting for a quarter of an hour, can fire ten arrows, with a cooling time of twelve hours. The number of Arrow God Possessions will increase as the Arrow God points increase.]

After seeing this, Gu Rubing realized that the arrow just now must have been shot by Huang Zhong using the Archery God.

The power of this arrow can be said to be enormous. I am afraid that even Zhang Fei cannot catch up with Huang Zhong. But the problem is that the power of this arrow does not distinguish between friend and foe. On the battlefield, before the two sides fight, it can definitely be used. Once the fighting between the two sides begins, it naturally cannot be used.

Huang Zhong returned to Gu Rubing's side.

"My lord, I, an old servant, have also become a legendary general. Zhong can also share the pressure with you."

Seeing Huang Zhong's excitement, Gu Rubing realized that Huang Zhong had always been very calm, but Huang Zhong was also a human being and naturally had his own emotions. The responsibilities given to Huang Zhong had always made Huang Zhong dare not express his emotions.

"Old General, you have worked hard. With your help, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

While the two were talking, Taishi Ci walked up to Huang Zhong with a bad look on his face.

Looking at Taishi Ci's appearance, Gu Rubing almost laughed out loud.

At this time, Taishi Ci's armor was all black, and his eyebrows seemed to be gone, and his face was also all black.

The originally fair and clean person has now turned into a piece of charcoal.

"Oh my god, who are you? If you're not going to join the war, what are you doing here?"

Huang Zhong did not recognize Taishi Ci at first, but was shocked by his appearance. If he had not discovered that the style of armor Taishi Ci wore was the same as his, he would probably have attacked him directly.
