Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1054 Zhuge Guantian
Sun Ce was extremely brave at this moment. Every time he attacked with the Overlord Spear, he would kill a Han soldier.

There were countless enemy troops blocked within hundreds of steps, but in his eyes, they seemed nothing.

Just a moment later, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu successfully reunited.

"Is Gongjin alright?"

"Bofu came so quickly, I was not injured."

"That's good. Come on, you and I, brothers, join hands and kill Zhuge Liang first."

Sun Ce made a move to rush out.

"Wait a minute, brother." Zhou Yu stopped him.

"Now Kong Ming has sent troops to storm the prison. If they succeed and release Wu Qin and the ten thousand soldiers, Hangu Pass will be in danger."

Only then did Sun Ce discover that there was a prison not far away that was surrounded.

"Oh, this guy is so treacherous. If he succeeds, we will be trapped in a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies. Isn't that a dead end? Let's go quickly. We have to get rid of this danger first. What do I, Sun Ce, have to fear from just a few thousand infantrymen?"

"Well, a real man should have such courage. Although I am not good at martial arts, I will follow you and give it a try today."

Zhou Yu looked at his sworn brother who usually looked like a rough man. For some reason, he always managed to make a man who obviously liked elegance and calmness feel boundless and heroic.

The two brothers high-fived each other, as if no one was around. Their excited looks inspired all the Jiangdong soldiers present.

The two men, one holding a spear and the other holding a sword, rushed towards the Han army at the prison gate.

The two thousand Jiangdong cavalry who had rushed back with Sun Ce also quickly followed.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang suddenly pointed the feather fan in his hand at the two thousand cavalrymen and shook it three times.

In just a moment, the Han soldiers who were fighting in the Mingtang immediately turned their guns around and surrounded the two thousand cavalrymen.

The Jiangdong infantrymen who had just been fighting with them were about to chase after them when they heard shouts of killing coming from all directions.

"Kill it..."

Zhou Yu's face changed and he looked back. The two thousand Jiangdong cavalry had been surrounded by five or six thousand Han army infantry. Outside the Han army's encirclement, there were more than ten thousand Jiangdong soldiers. However, these tens of thousands of soldiers were in a panic at this moment. The reason was very simple. On their outskirts, among the many houses that seemed deserted and even somewhat dilapidated, groups of Han troops suddenly emerged.

Of course, if they were just ordinary Han army infantry, they would not have frightened the Jiangdong soldiers so much that many of them dropped their weapons the moment they saw them rushing out, as if it was out of instinct.

But these Han troops who had just appeared were by no means ordinary soldiers. They were all dressed in red and black armor, wearing iron helmets, and holding a shiny, slender sword in their hands.

"Golden Sword Camp!"

Even with Zhou Yu's intelligence, he was actually a little shocked at this moment.

The various troops under Liu He's command were all famous. The Han Wuzu were both offensive and defensive, and were as stable as Mount Tai. The Feiyu Cavalry were elusive and hard to defend. The Shenji Camp fired thousands of arrows at once, and even gods and ghosts could not stop them. As for the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry, it was even more famous, and the Hu cavalry, who had been a headache for the Han Empire for hundreds of years, were frightened when they heard about it and terrified when they saw it.

But when it comes to notoriety and terror, no army can compare to the Golden Sword Battalion.

Zhang Yong, the founder and main commander of the Golden Sword Battalion, looks gentle and refined. He is actually a wise and brave Confucian general. However, the soldiers he leads are like wild beasts, worse than demons.

The Golden Sword Camp claimed that once the golden sword was out, both the man and the horse would be shattered, and no corpse would be left intact wherever it went. This was absolutely true. What's more, it was rumored that if a Han soldier wanted to join the Golden Sword Camp, he had to offer the corpses of fifty enemy soldiers, and the corpses had to be separated into two parts, no more, no less, and they had to be cut in half with one sword. Even one more sword would not work. Only if this was achieved would they be qualified to participate in the recruitment and selection of the Golden Sword Camp.

Although death is like the extinguishing of a light, whether in this era or thousands of years later, death without a complete body is an extremely cruel punishment.

If the above things were just rumors to the Jiangdong soldiers, then after seeing the group of Golden Sword Camp soldiers coming out, these rumors were instantly confirmed in their hearts.

If for no other reason, it's just the aura emanating from these thousands of Golden Sword Campers. Anyone who has personally experienced a life-and-death battle can see that such a powerful and terrifying aura, with its murderous intent that almost makes people breathless, the blood on the hands of those who possess it is definitely not so easy to count.

Sun Ce frowned and casually glanced at his soldiers. They all looked as if they were facing a great enemy. Many were even trembling with fear and sweating profusely. He couldn't help but become furious.

However, just when even Zhou Yu felt that his brother was about to lose his temper, Sun Ce suddenly sneered and then acted as if he didn't care.

"What do I think I am? What can a few thousand ambushes do to me? Soldiers, the enemy is just pretending to be strong. Don't be scared by them. What about the Golden Sword Battalion? How can a few thousand mortals stop my army? Do I have to rely on those bad reputations and rumors that are deliberately spread to kill people?"

His voice seemed to have some magical power. After it spread to every corner around, it actually calmed down many Jiangdong soldiers.

"Yes, even though the Golden Sword Battalion has a reputation for killing gods and ghosts, they are still mortal after all."

"We have tens of thousands of people. Even if we add the Golden Sword Battalion, their number is less than 30% of ours. What are we afraid of?"

"The young general is right. Is there any invincible army in the world? They must have deliberately spread rumors and exaggerated them to confuse people."

People are like this, they always prefer to believe what they want to believe. Now that the "truth" has been found, these Jiangdong soldiers who were trembling with fear just now seem to have regained some confidence and held their weapons tighter.

Zhou Yu warned: "Bofu, be careful. The enemy wants to divide our army layer by layer and then defeat them one by one. The imperial army is superior to ours in terms of combat effectiveness. Don't be careless."

Unexpectedly, Sun Ce lowered his voice and said, "Hey, do you think I'm not afraid? I have seen the horror of the Golden Sword Battalion with my own eyes. Tsk tsk tsk, it is even more terrifying than the rumors say. If we really set up a battle array, our 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers will have to lose more than half of them to defeat the Golden Sword Battalion of only 5,000 to 6,000. But the current situation does not allow me to show any cowardice. I have no choice but to fight to the death."

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned. He looked at Sun Ce carefully and saw that his temples were already covered with cold sweat and his lips were a little pale.

"In this case, we have no choice but to take the initiative and strike hard at the Golden Sword Camp while our soldiers are slightly boosting their morale. Otherwise, when the Golden Swords are deployed, what Bofu just said will be in vain, and we may even provoke public anger."

Sun Ce deeply agreed with Zhou Yu’s words.

"Ha!" He shouted angrily, holding the Overlord Spear high, and rushed towards the Golden Sword Camp first.

Zhou Yu lost no time in shouting, "Young General, you are leading the troops. Why should we be afraid of a small knife?"

The morale of the Jiangdong soldiers was once again boosted to the extreme. Their faces turned red and their necks became thick. They rushed forward without caring about their safety.

The soldiers of the Golden Sword Camp stood in place, with all the golden swords hanging at almost exactly the same angle, a few inches to the left and front of their owners.

Each soldier in the Golden Sword Camp stood about ten feet apart from each other. Everyone had a blank expression on their face, and their expression was so solemn that it was heart-wrenching.

Sun Ce attacked left and right, and easily created a gap among the Han infantry who were surrounding the two thousand cavalry. Then, with the help of both inside and outside forces, he quickly broke out.

"Charge them..." He led the two thousand cavalrymen with murderous intent, as if he wanted to trample all the enemies into dust.

Just when they rushed to within fifty steps of the Golden Sword Battalion, ten middle-level officers in the Golden Sword Battalion gave orders almost at the same time.

"grip……"

The five thousand soldiers of the Golden Sword Battalion changed from holding the golden swords with their left hands to holding them with both hands. In the blink of an eye, Sun Ce had already rushed to a distance of twenty steps, with the Overlord Spear held high, ready to go.

"side……"

Military orders came from the Golden Sword Camp again. The blades of the golden swords, which were originally pointing towards their owners, turned around and aimed diagonally at the enemy.

"Die..." Sun Ce roared, gathered all his strength, and stabbed out with a spear.

"hack……"

The thousand golden swords in the first row slashed out together at almost the same time, using the same action, with the same amplitude and speed.

"Xilulu..." Sun Ce was prepared. He pulled the reins and the warhorse under him leaped high. The tip of the golden knife just passed by the horse's neck, only half an inch away from cutting the rough fur.

"Die..." The Overlord Spear seemed to have the power of thunder, but also like a meteor. Before the soldier of the Golden Sword Camp could recover, the spear tip had already pierced his chest.

Firstly, Sun Ce was an expert in martial arts and horse riding, and secondly, he had seen the fighting methods of the Golden Sword Battalion with his own eyes, which was why he was able to accomplish the task so smoothly.

But the two thousand Jiangdong cavalry he brought did not have such ability.

Of the several hundred cavalrymen who were at the forefront, more than half were cut in half by this blow, and both the men and their horses were split into four sections and scattered all over the ground.

Sun Ce was furious. With a flick of his hand, he picked up the body of the pierced Golden Sword Camp soldier. Then he threw it hard and far away, directly disrupting the Golden Sword Camp's formation.

"Go away!"

Sun Ce led the way with his spear, but did not charge forward. After his horse was stopped, it had already lost its momentum. If he wanted to charge forward again, facing the second row of Golden Sword Battalion who had already sharpened their swords, Sun Ce knew that there would be no return.

He then rode his warhorse, brandished the Overlord Spear, and moved left and right, disrupting the formation of the Golden Sword Camp, while also allowing more Jiangdong cavalry to charge in.

"Young General, you are so mighty!" Tens of thousands of Jiangdong infantrymen were so excited that they shouted at the top of their lungs.

Under Zhou Yu's command, teams of Jiangdong soldiers were divided into two groups. One group blocked the Han army outside the prison, and the other rushed towards the Golden Sword Camp. As long as they could destroy or severely damage the Golden Sword Camp, the morale of their own army would be unprecedentedly high, while the morale of the enemy army would inevitably be in chaos.

Zhuge Liang glanced sideways. "How could he actually fight the Golden Blade Battalion, which is known as the nemesis of cavalry, with cavalry? Sun Ce is worthy of the title of Little Overlord of Jiangdong. But... the power of one person is limited after all. How can he defy the will of heaven?"

Just when Sun Ce was in high spirits of killing and the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers was greatly boosted and the situation of the battle was almost turned around, a black shadow appeared from the corner without any warning, and before everyone could see clearly, the black shadow had already arrived in front of Sun Ce.

"you again?"

Sun Ce only had time to shout out this sentence before the slender sword, flashing with a cold light, broke free from the scabbard again and flew straight towards him.

"Damn it, you only know this sneak attack trick, what kind of hero are you?"

You Lang sneered: "When did I ever say I was a hero?"

Sun Ce was gagged by this sentence, which made him even more annoyed.

"Today I will deal with you, a despicable villain."

The spear was flying, stabbing at You Lang's vital points again and again.

"My son, don't be shy. I'm here for your father."

An equally powerful voice was heard, which inspired all the Jiangdong soldiers, including Sun Ce.

"The lord is here, so the outcome is settled!" Lu Su, who was hiding in the distance, felt completely at ease at this moment.

Sun Jian led the army and finally rushed back, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant.

Sun Jian raised his arms and shouted: "Jiangdong will win!"

"Jiangdong will win, Jiangdong will win!" All the Jiangdong soldiers shouted as they bravely moved forward and fought to the death to kill the enemy.

Sun Jian galloped on his horse and soon arrived in front of the Golden Sword Camp. He held the ancient ingot sword horizontally and engaged the golden swords head-on.

"System prompt: Sun Jian has triggered the 'Tiger Pounces' effect in the 'Tiger' special skill, increasing his force by an additional 2 points."

"Sun Jian's basic military strength is 91 points, his weapons and armor have increased by 2 points, and his 'Tiger' skill has increased by 3 points. His current comprehensive military strength is 98 points."

When the golden knife collided with the ancient ingot knife, it made a buzzing sound, and Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and slashed the ancient ingot knife downwards. With lightning speed, the tip of the knife passed through the neck of the soldier from the Golden Knife Camp.

"Swish..." After a long red line spurted out, the soldier's burly body fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, as if he was oblivious to the unfavorable situation. His eyes were focused on Sun Jian, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Not bad, not bad. The prey finally fell into the trap as expected."

He looked up at the sky and saw that it was clear an hour ago, but now it was full of wind and clouds, and the sky was showing signs of darkening.

"Well...it's almost time."

"System prompt: Zhuge Liang activated his special skill - Observing the Sky: When observing the celestial phenomena and stars to assist in decision-making, his intelligence increases by 5 points. Before the decision is officially successful or failed, the intelligence of all enemy civil and military officials is reduced by 2 points."

"Zhuge Liang's basic intelligence is 96 points. Since the fire attack phase has ended, Zhou Yu's 'God of Fire' skill is invalid. Zhuge Liang's current comprehensive intelligence is 101 points."

"Zhou Yu's overall intelligence is 95 points."

"Sun Jian's comprehensive intelligence..."

In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

"Ding ding ding..." The sound of the retreat was heard, and all the Han soldiers retreated quickly at the first opportunity. After a feint of the sword, You Lang disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye, and was never seen again.

Sun Jian shouted, "You want to leave when things are not going well? How can this be a good thing? Leave a few heads behind."

"Father, you are right. I am willing to take the head of that little thief Zhuge."

"Well, you are worthy of being my son, Sun Jian. Go ahead."

The father and son were full of high spirits at this moment, as if they had already seen themselves taking control of Luoyang City and looking down on the world.
