Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1045 Secret Weapon
These Pingshan flying soldiers are obviously not just strong in physique and with sturdy armor.

Ten thousand soldiers were not only agile and flexible, but also better than cavalry in close combat. Although the Purple Gold Dragon Riders were lethal, they could always dodge them easily. In addition, the coordination between these ten thousand people and their use of many different battle formations had also reached an impressive level.

"Good fellow, I never thought that Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two reckless men, could lead such an army."

Qian Ning was secretly shocked.

Zhou Yuan curled his lips, with an alert and cautious look on his face: "I don't think this matter has anything to do with the two of them. It must be a secret method that Cao the thief has carefully prepared over the years, specifically to deal with us and General Zhao's Feiyu Cavalry."

"Yeah, I think so... huh..." Just as Qin Chu was about to agree, a Pingshan flying soldier suddenly attacked him, forcing him to stop talking in a hurry and become too tired to respond.

Even without the two commanders Dian Wei and Xu Chu, these Cao army soldiers were able to fight freely and cooperate in an orderly manner under the command of those middle-level generals in the army.

Not long after, teams of Pingshan Flying Army came over to surround Qian Ning and others, and quickly separated them one by one.

"Oh no! They want to defeat us one by one. Let's fight hard and don't be separated."

Zhou Yuan saw through the opponent's plot at a glance, and with a thrust of his spear, he pierced the throat of an enemy soldier in front of him.

Fortunately, although it was not easy for them to kill the enemy, with the heavy armor of the Purple Gold Dragon Riders, it was not easy for Cao's weapons to hurt them.

The two sides remained in a stalemate, neither able to do anything to the other, and after fighting for half an hour, only a few hundred people were killed in total.

However, this kind of battle was not like that of an ordinary army. At this time, the soldiers on both sides were wearing heavy armor. The armor of the Pingshan Flying Army only protected vital parts such as the chest and abdomen, and did not provide much protection for the arms, shoulders and other places, thus greatly reducing the weight of the armor. But even so, fighting in such armor was not an easy task, not to mention the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry.

After more than half an hour of fighting, the soldiers and horses on both sides were panting and sweating profusely, and their hands wielding their weapons began to feel numb and weak.

Even someone as mighty and powerful as Guan Yu, after facing the joint attack of these two fierce generals and having to maintain a full-scale fighting posture, now feels a bit tired and exhausted.

If he was still in such a state, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were naturally in even worse condition. Their lips had turned pale.

"Okay, okay, okay." Guan Yu said "Okay" three times in a row, but his tone and eyes did not contain any praise or appreciation.

"It is rare that the two of you can fight with me to this extent. But the more so, the more I will not let you go today."

Dian Wei shouted angrily: "Don't even think about leaving here alive."

"Just you guys?" Guan Yu was very disdainful and slashed with the Qinglong Sword again.

This "drag the sword" skill cannot be used all the time, so Guan Yu's martial arts power fluctuates, which allows the two to fight until now. Otherwise, if Guan Yu really maintained his full martial arts power, I am afraid that after a hundred rounds at most, the two would have surrendered.

Guan Yu was so furious that the numbness in his arms seemed to disappear in an instant. He once again gathered all his strength and poured it into the Qinglong Sword, ready to chop out fiercely and cut the two troublesome thieves in front of him in half.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind.

"Ah..." Guan Yu instinctively looked back and saw that Qian Ning was finally unable to hold on after being besieged by more than a dozen Pingshan flying soldiers. He was hit by two enemy soldiers at the same time. Although his armor was not penetrated, he was knocked off his horse.

"Bang..." Qian Ning fell heavily to the ground with his armor, making him see stars and his internal organs seemed to be twisted.

"Zi Jing...hateful!" Guan Yu didn't care about anything else. He forced Dian and Xu to retreat with a sword and rode back on his horse.

When the Pingshan flying soldiers saw Qian Ning lying on the ground, they were about to rush forward and kill him utterly, but they saw Guan Yu falling from the sky.

"Come die!"

These two words became the last words heard by the three Cao army soldiers who were rushing in the front. Immediately afterwards, three heads flew up at the same time, almost without any order.

"General." Zhou Yuan and others also ran over and helped Qian Ning up.

"Ahem... General Guan, I am..." Qian Ning's mouth was bleeding, but he still wanted to be strong. Before he could say anything, Guan Yu knew what he was thinking.

"Well, how can I be such a shameless person who doesn't care about my brothers? The war is not going well right now. If we continue to fight like this, even if we can win, we will suffer heavy casualties. Add to that Zheng'er's incident, I really don't know how I can face my brother again."

At this time, Zhou Yuan's eyes turned and he approached Guan Yu: "General, in fact, we have a way to break Cao's armor."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu's spirits rose: "What good plan does Xuanwei have?"

Teams of purple-gold dragon riders were surrounding them, guarding them tightly. Even if Dian Wei and Xu Chu led the charge personally, they could not be shaken at all for a while.

Zhou Yuan pointed in the direction of Hulao Pass and said, "General, do you still remember that when we were still in Yanmen, His Majesty asked several craftsmen to forge a special weapon for the cavalry in the army? Each of these weapons takes four to five years to make, and only ten thousand have been forged so far. Five thousand of them were left in Liangzhou, and the other five thousand are in Hulao Pass. If we have this weapon in our hands, we can defeat the bandits in a snap of a finger."

Guan Yu's eyes lit up: "How could I forget this?"

He turned around, gave Dian Wei and Xu Chu a fierce look, and then resolutely ordered: "Pass my order, immediately withdraw the troops from Hulao Pass. Don't they also want to create chaos at Hulao Pass so as to cooperate with Cao thieves from inside and outside? Humph, Guan will help them do so."

Although the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry are heavily armored cavalry, once they start running, they cannot be caught up by the powerful legs of Dian Wei and others.

In just a moment, Guan Yu and the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry quickly escaped from the battle and rushed towards Hulao Pass.

"Brother Dian, they escaped, let's chase them." Xu Chu became a little anxious.

Dian Wei's eyes turned red. "Need I say more? They went to Hulao Pass, which is exactly what we want. The Purple Gold Dragon Riders are no match for us. Even if Guan Yu goes back and Liu He is on guard, he can't stop us from making a big fuss behind the pass."

Both of them seemed full of confidence. Without taking any time to rest, they led the Pingshan Flying Army and hurriedly chased after them.
