Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1000 The Yuliang Controversy
"System prompt: Wang Han vs. Sun Ce. Wang Han's basic force is 96 points, and the King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and Mount have increased by 5 points in total. The number of enemies killed so far is 0, so the special skill 'Intimidation' has not been triggered yet. The overall force is 101 points."

"Sun Ce's basic force is 98 points, and his weapons and armor have increased by 2 points in total. Because the opponent has changed, the number of rounds calculated by the special skill 'Brave' has also started over. The current special skill only increases the initial force by 2 points, with no round bonus. Sun Ce's overall force is 102 points."

Sun Ce was enjoying the battle, and he was completely satisfied: "Well, well, first it was Xu Huang, and now it's you, the so-called foolish general, Da Meng. Today is the day for me, Sun Ce, to become famous all over the world."

In his excitement, the Overlord Spear seemed to sense his master's mood, and with one gun and one man, they seemed to become more powerful.

When Liu Zheng saw that Da Meng was in trouble, he immediately rode forward to help: "Da Meng, I'm here to help you."

"System prompt: Liu Zheng joins the battle. Liu Zheng's basic force is 91 points, and the King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and mount have increased by 5 points in total. There is no special skill bonus. The current comprehensive force is 96 points."

Guan Ping and Cheng Yang were about to step forward to help, but Liu Zheng turned his head and shouted back: "Have you two forgotten what we discussed when you came here? Hurry and act according to the plan."

The two of them had just forgotten about the important matter because they were worried about Liu Zheng. Now that he reminded them, they remembered it.

Guan Ping slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I almost made a mistake. Don't worry, big brother. I and my fourth brother will go right away."

After saying that, he led Cheng Yang and ran away.

On Zhou Yu's side, although he could not see Sun Ce's battle situation in the distant woods, he felt something was wrong when he noticed that Sun Ce had not appeared for a long time after entering the woods.

"Bofu led those people into an ambush. Logically, the battle should have ended. Why hasn't he come out yet? Could it be... could something unexpected have happened?"

Cheng Pu also frowned: "It's a bit strange, should we send someone to investigate?"

"Well, that's fine..." As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the roar of a ferocious tiger, which made them feel moved.

"What's the noise?"

Cheng Pu pointed to the woods and said, "It seems...it seems to be coming from over there."

Zhou Yu's face darkened. "Isn't that where our army set up an ambush for Xu Huang and his men? It looks like something really went wrong."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu immediately stood up and mounted his warhorse: "Let me go and see what's going on."

"Hey, old general, you can't move rashly. The lord is away and you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If you leave easily, it will definitely affect the morale of the army. It's better to let me go."

"This..." Cheng Pu thought about it and felt that what Zhou Yu said was very reasonable, so he stopped being stubborn.

"Alright, Gongjin, be careful."

Zhou Yu patted his horse and ran towards the woods.

However, he had just run a few steps when the beast's roar sounded again, and it sounded obviously closer than before. This made Zhou Yu's face change, and he instinctively pulled the reins.

"This sound is... a tiger's roar. Why are there so many tigers here suddenly?"

“Ahwu…ahhou…ah…”

The tiger's roar came from far away, with ups and downs, which frightened the warhorse under Zhou Yu so much that it became restless.

"Sigh...sigh..."

The warhorse jumped up and down, and moved left and right. Zhou Yu grabbed the reins tightly to avoid being thrown off its back.

At this moment, several dark shadows suddenly jumped out from the woods ahead.

"Ow..."

While Zhou Yu tried to suppress the uneasiness of his warhorse, he glanced at the black shadows. This sight made him a little frightened.

"Is this... Cheng Liang's Divine Tiger Rider?"

Several fully armed soldiers, riding on spotted tigers, rushed out of the woods. Immediately afterwards, team after team of tiger cavalrymen rushed out of the woods. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of divine tiger cavalrymen appeared in front of Zhou Yu.

"Kill..."

One of the Divine Tiger Knights raised his arms and shouted at the top of his lungs. As soon as he shouted, all the soldiers, all the tigers, seemed to have received an order and started shouting or roaring in unison.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

“Ahwu…Ahhou…”

Although there were only a few hundred cavalrymen, their majestic momentum was as if there were an army of tens of thousands, which was awe-inspiring.

Zhou Yu finally reacted and exclaimed, "Oh no, I've fallen into a trap!"

He didn't care about anything else, he pulled hard, changed direction, and drove the horse back.

Cheng Pu also noticed the sudden appearance of the Divine Tiger Riders: "Divine Tiger Riders? Why are they here?"

Zhou Yu galloped along the way, shouting: "General Cheng, hurry... tell the soldiers to light the torches..."

Cheng Pu was stunned for a while, then quickly reacted: "Oh... yes, use fire, wild animals are afraid of fire."

He hurriedly called the few thousand remaining personal soldiers around him. It was the first time for these personal soldiers to see hundreds of tigers coming out together. In addition, the soldiers on their backs all looked strong and murderous, which made these Jiangdong soldiers inevitably a little frightened, and their hands holding torches trembled slightly.

The Divine Tiger Cavalry moved swiftly and reached the destination in a flash, a distance of only two or three miles. These hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of tigers, each howling, were about to charge into the Jiangdong army formation.

"Raise the torches!" Zhou Yu shouted, and thousands of Jiangdong soldiers raised their torches high almost at the same time and shook them continuously.

Thousands of torches flickered in the cool breeze in the wilderness, making a whooshing sound.

"Hoo...ho ho ho ho..."

Hundreds of tigers that were so aggressive just now stopped in an instant, baring their teeth at the torches and roaring in low voices. No matter how the cavalry drove them, they would not move forward a single step.

Guan Ping and Cheng Yang, who were in charge of commanding the Divine Tiger Cavalry, also hurriedly stopped their horses.

"What a great guy Zhou Yu is. He actually used fire to deal with the Divine Tiger Cavalry."

"Third brother, let alone those beasts, even our two fine horses are in a state of panic."

Cheng Yang leaned down and gently stroked the mane on the warhorse's neck, trying to calm the horse that was frightened by the flames.

On the hillside not far away, Zhuge Liang looked at this scene from afar, his eyes secretly surprised: "Who is that man? He can remain calm in the face of danger and deal with it well. He is indeed a talented general. I am afraid that even Sun Jian himself may not be able to do it."

However, the more capable the opponent was, the more Zhuge Liang's fighting spirit became: "Okay, let's see how capable you are."

He said a few words to a messenger beside him, who immediately blew the horn and then waved the flag.

"Hmm? Is the enemy commander over there?" Zhou Yu looked in the direction of the horn sound and saw a flag waving in the woods on the hillside in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Divine Tiger Riders suddenly split into two. One group continued to move back and forth in front of the Jiangdong troops. Although it was difficult for them to attack for a while, they never retreated a single step.

The other group of Divine Tiger Riders, led by Guan Ping and Cheng Yang, quickly turned around and left, and no one knew where they went. Cheng Pu looked back at the siege, which was still very intense. Although his side had an obvious advantage, it would not be possible to win in a short time if Qian Zhao led his army to fight to the death.

"We must not let these Divine Tiger Cavalry pass us. Otherwise, once they reach the city gate, with their unparalleled killing power and deterrent power, our army will be attacked from both sides, and we may even fail in this battle."

Cheng Pu's words were also agreed by Zhou Yu: "Of course, this torch can't be kept for long. Instead of wasting time here with them, it's better to take the initiative to attack."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Pu's old eyes lit up instantly: "What does Gongjin mean?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly. "The fighting power of the Divine Tiger Cavalry is by no means ordinary. All the generals and troops around me have been sent out one after another. Now there are only three or four thousand soldiers left, most of them are infantry. Although they are outnumbered, they are definitely no match for the Divine Tiger Cavalry. The only way now is to use the fire to imprison them and disrupt their morale. Only then will we have a chance to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Cheng Pu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is a great plan. I will give you the power to command these thousands of soldiers. Just give it a try."

He drew out his sword, held it in front of his chest with both hands, and handed it to Zhou Yu solemnly.

Zhou Yu took it very solemnly: "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

After saying this, he pointed his sword forward and said, "All soldiers, listen to my order. Line up on the left and right and surround the enemy. Do not linger, just keep running around them. Also, send out 300 people to collect hay and dead branches and throw them around the enemy. Then throw out torches and end the battle quickly!"

After receiving the order, these thousands of personal soldiers rushed out without any hesitation.

"Roar..." Faced with thousands of torches attacking at the same time, the tiger mounts instinctively retreated.

These personal soldiers circled around the Divine Tiger Cavalry. The torches seemed to form a prison of fire, temporarily trapping the Divine Tiger Cavalry in the middle.

Occasionally some soldiers were able to control the tigers, overcome their fear, and try to rush out, but they were alone and powerless, and were soon forced back by the Jiangdong troops who were well prepared.

"Damn it! These guys are so arrogant that they call themselves the kings of all beasts. They are so scared by just a few torches. They are so useless."

"Well, it's not their fault. Wild beasts are always afraid of open flames. Unless they are specially trained for this, this weakness that is deeply rooted in their bones is absolutely difficult to overcome. Everyone, please be patient. Your sworn brother has just sent a new military order. Let the enemy army be proud for a while. We will wait for a while and then we can defeat them."

However, before the opportunity for counterattack came, the Jiangdong soldiers had already run over with piles of dry grass and branches.

They piled these flammable objects around the Divine Tiger Cavalry, and then Zhou Yu gave the order: "Light a fire."

All the Jiangdong soldiers retreated quickly, followed by thousands of torches thrown into the sky at the same time, which finally fell on the haystacks.

"boom……"

As the saying goes, when dry wood meets fire, flames will soon shoot up into the sky.

"Roar...roar..."

Hundreds of tigers were now in complete panic, rushing around, trying to break out of the fire, but they did not dare to get caught in the flames. They could only move around and run back and forth, which made the soldiers on their backs very tired.

Cheng Pu was delighted when he saw this: "Haha, great, Gongjin, this is a really brilliant plan. The Divine Tiger Cavalry has dominated the world for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that they would fall into the hands of Jiangdong today. This will greatly boost the morale and prestige of our army."

Zhou Yu smiled proudly: "Haha, Cheng Liang and the Divine Tiger Riders are nothing to me. Old General, just sit back and watch me destroy them."

He waved his hand, and a group of soldiers holding bows and arrows came to the front of the battle and lined up in an orderly manner.

"The bow is ready."

As soon as Zhou Yu gave the order, the soldiers took out their arrows, put on the bowstrings, and aimed at the Divine Tiger Cavalry in the fire circle.

Just when he was about to give the order to shoot, the group of Divine Tiger Riders who had left earlier suddenly came back.

"Hmm? Gongjin, look quickly, what are they holding in their hands?" Cheng Pu pointed at the white objects held in the hands of the Divine Tiger Knights, looking puzzled.

Zhou Yu looked at it for a long time and was also at a loss.

Those divine tiger riders moved as fast as the wind and soon rushed to the front of the fire circle. They threw the "white" things in their hands and on the tiger's back into the flames.

These things exploded one after another, and every time one exploded, a pile of clear water splashed out.

Each of the Divine Tiger Knights threw out a dozen or twenty of these things. Although there was not much water in each of them, thousands of them gathered together and were all thrown onto one section of the fire circle, which immediately weakened the fire in that area.

"Not good!" Zhou Yu's face changed: "It's the bladder of pigs, cows and other livestock."

Cheng Pu also exclaimed when he heard this: "No wonder. These animal bladders have always been used to store water and then put out fires. I heard that the food in the Luoyang court army is very good. When they go to war, they have meat every day. I don't know how many cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens they have to slaughter. Naturally, these pickled things are indispensable."

Zhou Yu shouted urgently: "Release the arrows, release them immediately!"

Hundreds of archers released their bows in an instant, and sharp arrows shot out suddenly.

However, they were still a step too slow. Once the Divine Tiger Cavalry escaped, they would be like a dragon entering the sea. How could they be shot so easily?

They rode the tigers and leaped several dozen steps away with a few leaps. The arrows only landed on the grass in front of them and could not hurt the Divine Tiger Riders at all.

"Brothers, charge forward and avenge our previous humiliation!"

Guan Ping roared, swung his sword, and led hundreds of Divine Tiger Riders, rushing towards Zhou Yu and others.

"Bang bang..." Several noises were heard, and then a figure flew out from the woods and fell heavily to the ground.

"Brother Bo Fu!"

"Major General..."

When Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu saw this man, they were shocked. They rode their horses and ran over at the same time, not caring at all how the thousands of their personal soldiers were strangled to death by the Divine Tiger Cavalry.

The two men helped Sun Ce up, only to see that he had multiple wounds on his body, blood at the corners of his mouth, and his face was a little pale, obviously he was seriously injured.

“Roar…Ah…”

"Sun Ce, you little thief, don't run away, or I'll shoot you again!"

"Haha, don't let Dameng's captive run away. Let Dameng chop him twice more..."

Da Meng and Liu Zheng caught up with them, and Zhou Yu hurriedly helped Sun Ce onto the horse's back and fled away in a panic.

The fighting power of the Divine Tiger Cavalry was far stronger than those of the Jiangdong infantry. Moreover, without the leadership of Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu, these several thousand personal soldiers were thrown into chaos after being attacked by the Divine Tiger Cavalry, and they no longer had any will to fight.

Zhuge Liang, standing on the mountainside, had a calm expression and a smile that showed he was confident.

"Fire attack... Haha, this man is indeed extraordinary. If I have another chance in the future, I would like to have a good fight with him."

"System prompt: Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have triggered a temporary mission - the battle between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu: the two will compete in military battles in the future as military commanders or military strategists. When one of them can completely defeat the other, the winner will have all attributes increased by 1 point, and will definitely gain a new skill."

Liu He was a little surprised: "Oh? This temporary mission is interesting. Zhuge Liang to Zhou Yu... Hehe, interesting, I am really looking forward to it."
