Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Such a fierce fight made the soldiers on both sides almost dazzled. They dared not even blink, for fear of missing the moment that would decide the outcome.

The Han people value martial arts and they even admire fighting generals!
At this moment, the amazing martial arts displayed by Huang Zhong and Ji Ling undoubtedly made countless soldiers' blood boil.

When Yuan Shu heard that Ji Ling had been fighting with an old general for a long time and the outcome was still unknown, he hurriedly drove his chariot to the front army. While watching the fierce fight between Huang Zhong and Ji Ling, he hurriedly asked.

"How did the fight go?"

General Xun Zheng replied quickly.

"General Ji and the old general have fought fiercely for more than forty rounds. However, in the current situation, General Ji is more offensive than defensive. It is expected that he will not be difficult to win if he continues to fight."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded repeatedly. He felt much more relieved and did not think that the most powerful general under his command, whom he relied on, would lose to an unknown veteran.

However, Ji Ling, who was fighting with Huang Zhong at close range, was complaining in his heart at this moment.

Ji Ling kept on attacking, initially in an attempt to trap Huang Zhong and consume the old veteran's energy.

However, after fighting so fiercely for forty rounds, Ji Ling already felt his hands and feet begin to become weak, his whole body was sweating, and he was panting like a cow.

On the contrary, Huang Zhong in front of him still looked calm, showing great strength and no sign of fatigue.

How could it be possible that I, Ji Ling, cannot even match the physical strength of a mere veteran?
Ji Ling even began to doubt his life for a moment.

More importantly, as Huang Zhong gradually figured out Ji Ling's tactics, the occasional counterattacks made Ji Ling start to get a little flustered.

'This veteran's swordsmanship seems to be more inclined towards defense and counterattack, and it seems to be continuous like a surging river, and his strength is also long and does not seem to be at this age.'

"If I continue to waste my energy like this, not only will I not be able to kill this veteran, I might even die here."

When he thought of this, Ji Ling began to feel more and more like giving up.

Immediately, Ji Ling swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, pulled the reins, and controlled the warhorse to break away from the entanglement with Huang Zhong, and shouted loudly.

"I consider that you are so brave despite your age, and I do not want to bully the old, so I will spare your life for now. If you still have some self-awareness, take this opportunity to escape. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking your life when we attack the city."

This was Ji Ling's last act of tough talk, and it was also a way to avoid the morale of his own soldiers from plummeting.

However, perhaps Huang Zhong's tactics are better at defense than offense, but it does not mean that Huang Zhong has no means of offense.

If a brave general like Ji Ling personally attacks the city, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat to Xinye City. How could Huang Zhong be willing to let Ji Ling escape unscathed?

At that moment, when Ji Ling turned his head and didn't look at Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong turned around and drew the Qilin bow behind him in front of him. In an instant, the bow was fully strung.

"middle!"

As Huang Zhong shouted softly, the arrow flew away.

Chen Lan and Lei Bo, who were closest to Ji Ling, witnessed Huang Zhong's actions completely.

However, Huang Zhong's arrow shooting speed was too fast, so fast that Chen Lan and Lei Bo had no time to react. Their faces changed drastically subconsciously, and when they blurted out to remind Ji Ling, the arrow was about to hit Ji Ling's back.

"General Ji, be careful of the hidden arrows!"

Ji Ling did not hear clearly what Chen Lan and Lei Bo said, but he noticed their anxious and distorted expressions, and his body instinctively dodged to the side.

"puff!"

The next moment, the arrow that could split rocks and penetrate armor hit Ji Ling's left shoulder and directly broke through the armor, and the arrow head went out from the back of his body.

The sudden severe pain made Ji Ling break out in a cold sweat. However, before Ji Ling could react, he heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air again.

"Two consecutive beads?!"

Ji Ling felt a chill in his heart.

However, the second arrow was not aimed at Ji Ling, but at the horse under Ji Ling's crotch, and directly pierced through the neck of the horse under Ji Ling's crotch.

The warhorse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground from the rapid speed, knocking Ji Ling off its back.

"not dead?"

Huang Zhong did not expect Ji Ling to dodge the first arrow. He thought he would be able to kill Ji Ling, and the second arrow would kill the warhorse, leaving Ji Ling's body behind to intimidate Yuan Shu's army.

Immediately, Ji Ling's figure was mostly covered by the fallen warhorse, making it difficult for him to shoot the third arrow.

Huang Zhong could only squeeze the horse's belly and drive the seemingly ordinary old yellow horse to burst out at an astonishing speed to catch up with Ji Ling.

"Quick, quick, protect General Ji!"

However, Chen Lan and Lei Bo were not far away from Ji Ling. When they saw Ji Ling fall to the ground, they immediately called on dozens of archers to shoot arrows to stop Huang Zhong. At the same time, a group of personal guards braved the rain of arrows and rushed forward to snatch the fallen Ji Ling back.

Huang Zhong felt helpless and could only laugh three times in public.

"Hahaha, there's no one under Yuan Gonglu's command!"

Huang Zhong led his troops back into the city and hung the head of Liang Gang, who had been beheaded earlier, on the city wall as a demonstration.

For a time, the army led by Yuan Shu was already exhausted from marching for many days in the hot climate. After witnessing Liang Gang being beheaded and Ji Ling being defeated, their morale dropped to freezing point.

However, Huang Zhong's ridicule undoubtedly completely angered Yuan Shu. He completely ignored the dissuasion of his civil and military officials, and insisted on ordering a violent attack on Xinye City, and even tried to boost morale by offering heavy rewards.

However, facing a group of Yuzhou soldiers with low morale, wherever Huang Zhong, whose power on this battlefield was already astonishing, passed, countless Yuzhou soldiers almost subconsciously retreated.

The fierce siege lasted for half a day. Under the command of Huang Zhong, the Yuzhou army was unable to launch a truly threatening attack on Xinye City.

Instead, as dusk approached, the Yuzhou army hastily evacuated and set up camp, leaving behind nearly five thousand corpses.

This is undoubtedly a big victory for Xinye City.

More importantly, the Yuzhou Army's low morale and heavy losses meant that they would need several days of rest before they could organize an effective siege again.

……

When Liu Biao, who had already arrived in Zigui, saw the battle report sent back from Xinye City, he was radiant and said.

"God helps me. Pan'er actually has such a brave general under his command!"

Liu Biao's initial plan was that Xinye City could hold off Yuan Shu's army for three to five days and thus wear down the morale of Yuan Shu's army.

If Xinye City could not be defended, Liu Pan could still lead the remaining troops downstream along the boats prepared in advance on the Yu River, return to Xiangyang City to reunite with Liu Qi and defend Xiangyang together.

With Wancheng as a nail stuck in the rear waiting for an opportunity to act, the Yuzhou military supply department can always pay attention to the food routes in the rear, further alleviating the pressure faced by Xiangyang City.

As long as Xiangyang City is defended stubbornly, it will be enough to make Yuan Shu return in defeat. (End of this chapter)
