I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 953 The wind and the remaining clouds
Yuzhong is gone
Although Cheng Gongying didn't know the details, everything he saw naturally made him feel cold at heart.

The general hurriedly asked: "General Cheng, what should we do now?"

The situation has developed to a very serious level.

Although Jincheng County was not small, it had 13 counties and a population of more than 150,000.

However, most of those county towns are located to the west of Jincheng, and there is only one fortress, Yuzhong, in the east, which serves as a barrier for Jincheng, connecting Xiaoguan in Anding and Longguan in Tianshui.

Now that Yuzhong has been lost, there is no longer any barrier east of Jincheng.

"withdraw!"

Cheng Gongying gritted his teeth and ordered again:
"We can't just wait here to die."

"Immediately evacuate towards Jincheng, and then quickly inform General Han. We will set up checkpoints along the mountain and organize defenses on the mountain roads. We must not let Su Yao enter the Jincheng Plain at any cost!"

Jincheng is now Lanzhou, so the Jincheng Plain is the Lanzhou Plain.

As the first stop of the Hexi Corridor, Jincheng's terrain is particularly special.

It is located on the bank of the Yellow River, a river valley plain surrounded by mountains and a river flowing in the middle. To the east, the remnant of Liupan Mountain is a natural barrier, and to the west, it is connected to the throat of the Hexi Corridor. If the enemy army breaks through Yuzhong, they can drive straight into the Jincheng Plain and attack Han Sui's lair.

By then, on the flat plain, they had lost the cavalry support of their Qiang allies. How could they compete with Su Yao's invincible cavalry?
Being trapped in an isolated city means death is the only option.

Knowing the dilemma, Cheng Gongying had to settle for the next best thing and led his troops to retreat quickly along the mountain road, setting up defenses at dangerous places in an attempt to stop Su Yao and buy time for Han Sui behind him to react.

Cheng Gongying's idea was very good and his operation was flawless, which was worthy of his half-life of fighting experience.

However, in the face of absolute strength, all strategies and efforts are in vain.

"Report - Your Highness, there has been an uprising in Yuzhong, and Cheng Gongying of Xiliang has retreated to the valley and blocked the road."

The vanguard scout reported the situation on the front line to Su Yao, who responded with one word: "Charge!"

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

After learning that Yuzhong had surrendered, Su Yao did not even enter the city, but asked Zhao Yun to go in and recruit the surrendered soldiers. He then led Xu Huang and the rest of the Han cavalry to charge at Cheng Gongying's defense line.

"So fast?!"

"What a madman!"

"Set me an arrow!"

When Cheng Gongying saw the Han cavalry approaching and choosing the mountain road that he himself was closely guarding, he was secretly delighted and ordered the defenders to counterattack.

On the narrow mountain road, the Liangzhou army was in a dominant position, shooting arrows like raindrops at the charging Han cavalry.

"Is this all you have?"

Amid the whistling rain of arrows, Su Yao took the lead, wielding the lance in his hand like a wheel.

In the whistling wind, all the arrows shot at him were chopped down. Seeing this, the morale of the Han cavalry behind him was greatly boosted, and they forced their way up the mountain road under the rain of arrows.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Cheng Gongying was shocked and stamped his feet, saying:
"Release the rolling stones! Release the rolling stones for me, quickly!"

"Here! Here!"

The heavy troops will act in haste.

Soon, just as the Han cavalry rushed halfway up the mountain, a loud rumbling sound was heard.

I saw dozens of rocks of various shapes and sizes as big as millstones rolling down the steep slope.

The Han cavalrymen who were rushing in the front had no time to dodge, and more than ten of them, including their horses, were crushed into meat paste, emitting shrill screams.

"Hahahahaha!"

On the top of the cliff, Cheng Gongying was laughing wildly:
"Su Yao! Don't you love charging into battle? Don't you like charging into battle? This is what happens to you!"

Obviously, in the face of the mighty power of nature, the bravery of an individual warrior is insignificant.

No one can escape the impact of this rolling stone with tremendous force.

Cheng Gongying stroked his beard proudly, smiled and said to those around him:

"It's a pity that the famous general has turned into a pile of meat paste. We can't take his head to ask for credit!" "That's right!"

“This is such a pity!”

"If we can get his head and put it in Jincheng, or send it to Luoyang, that scene will be amazing..."

All the generals were grinning and joyful.

However, before their laughter died down, a red figure suddenly rushed out from the smoke and dust on the mountain road - Su Yao actually escaped from the rolling stone formation unscathed!
Su Yao, the great general who should have died among the rocks in their eyes, was now galloping towards them with two swords in his hands.

However, Su Yao was not walking on the mountain path, but on the steep cliff!
"This is impossible!" Cheng Gongying's smile froze on his face, and the command flag in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".

Xu Huang and others in Su Yao's formation were also shocked.

"They say that the closer you are to the general, the safer he is. Today I know that this is true."

Xu Huang's heart was pounding.

Just as the falling rocks were coming, he who was rushing in the front was already in despair and almost closed his eyes, waiting to die.

At this moment, his body suddenly lost control and took off like a kite.

It turned out that at this critical moment, Su Yao suddenly took action.

Although it was impossible to rescue everyone and reduce the losses to zero, Xu Huang and several personal soldiers who were closest to him were rescued by Su Yao at the critical moment.

Now, Su Yao, who had avoided the rolling stones, stepped on the cliff and rushed forward.

Looking at the twin blades in his hands that glowed with cold light, Cheng Gongying's mouth trembled with shock: "Monster, what kind of monster is this?!"

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly!"

"Don't let him come over here!"

Cheng Gongying woke up as if from a dream and roared at the top of his lungs.

But it was too late.

Hundreds of Liangzhou archers hurriedly drew their bows, ready to concentrate their firepower and launch a rain of arrows.

Su Yao had already jumped high in the sunlight, somersaulted to the top of the cliff, and came to the ambush formation.

"Die, you bastard!"

Cold light flashed and heads flew everywhere.

When such a person who has demonstrated absolute strength appears before our eyes, how chaotic will the scene be?
The morale of the Liangzhou soldiers was immediately wiped out. They were all in panic, running around like wolves and pigs.

Seeing this, Cheng Gongying no longer dared to hope for a counterattack, and simply turned around and tried to escape in the chaos.

However, Su Yao naturally would not give him a chance.

"You little bastard, you still want to run?"

In the chaos of the army, Su Yao kicked the ground and a spear flew into his hand.

Then the next scene made all the Liangzhou soldiers drop their jaws in shock - Su Yao just shook his wrist, and the spear cut through the sky like lightning, accurately piercing Cheng Gongying's back!
"Pfft——"

Cheng Gongying staggered a few steps, looked down at the spear tip sticking out of his chest, his eyes full of disbelief. He turned around with difficulty, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something, but he only spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

"General!"

"General Cheng is dead!"

The Liangzhou army was thrown into chaos. Xu Huang seized the opportunity and immediately led his troops up the mountain road.

The Liangzhou soldiers who lost their command dropped their weapons and surrendered, and the few who resisted stubbornly were quickly wiped out.

In this battle, the Han army won another great victory.

"Great General, you are so powerful!" Xu Huang knelt on one knee, his eyes full of awe.

Su Yao wiped off the blood on his knife and looked towards the northwest: "Order the entire army to clean up the battlefield and rest for half a day. Tomorrow we will go straight to Jincheng!"
