Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1069: Liang Wei Yan
These tigers were deliberately trained to maintain their wildness. In addition, they had been fighting with the army for a long time. On the battlefield, they were bound to eat enemy horses and even the corpses of enemy soldiers. Given Cheng Liang's personality, he would only praise and even encourage such things. Over time, these tigers became more ferocious than wild tigers.

One hundred and one such vicious tigers, plus one hundred and one soldiers whose blood was ten or a hundred times more than that of the vicious tigers, suddenly rushed out of the pass. The murderous aura alone made the Jingzhou soldiers near the city gate unable to help but retreat.

"No one is allowed to retreat. The enemy only has a hundred people. What are you afraid of?"

Cao Hong rushed over quickly and killed the fastest retreating soldier with one sword, which instantly stopped the Jingzhou soldiers from retreating.

"Cao Hong, you are nothing but a hero hiding in the back. Come and fight your grandfather for three hundred rounds!"

Cheng Liang attacked from both sides and shouted provocative words to Cao Hong.

Cao Hong said with disdain: "Humph, I have been entrusted with an important task by my lord, how can I get entangled with a reckless man like you?"

After saying that, he pulled his horse back and quickly retreated, making Cheng Liang so angry that he screamed.

At this time, a voice that made him even more angry came over: "Tsk... I thought it was something else, it turns out that Cheng Liang is just bringing a hundred people out of the pass to die."

When Cheng Liang heard this, he immediately became furious. He looked around and found a general from Jingzhou not far away.

"Huang Zu, let's see who is going to die."

He slapped the tiger under his crotch, and the tiger roared, leaped forward, and knocked a Jingzhou soldier to the ground. Without Cheng Liang doing anything, the tiger bit the soldier's neck.

"Roar..." The tiger with blood all over its face roared angrily, scaring the surrounding enemy soldiers so much that they all avoided it.

"Haha, what a bunch of cowards." Cheng Liang was extremely proud. He rode the tiger and pounced towards Huang Zu.

Huang Zu's face changed drastically. He knew very well how skilled he was in martial arts. Although he was considered a good fighter in the army, he was still far from good enough to face Cheng Liang. Even though it was rumored that Cheng Liang's martial arts was the worst among the five sworn brothers.

In terms of short-distance sprinting speed, war horses are definitely not as good as tigers. This is determined by their relationship in the food chain. As beasts that suddenly rush and kill their prey after ambushing, this kind of movement itself is their strong point. The so-called "tiger pounces on its prey" is this principle.

Not to mention that the tiger was well-fed, and the warhorse had been running for quite some time carrying Huang Zu's slightly pampered and fat body, and had consumed a lot of its energy.

With such a huge gap, no matter how hurriedly Huang Zu ran away, he was still pounced on by the tiger and caught up.

"Give me your head!" Cheng Liang's vicious voice came from behind, scaring Huang Zu so much that he broke out in cold sweats.

However, he was, after all, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years. He knew that turning his back on the enemy would be a way to seek death. Not only would he surely die, but it would also be a very cowardly death. Instead of doing that, it would be better to fight head-on. After all, Cheng Liang had been fighting for half a day while defending the city, and he had some injuries on his body, and his martial arts must have weakened.

With such a lucky thought, Huang Zu shouted loudly to give himself courage, then he clenched the spear in his hand tightly and stabbed backwards suddenly.

"Humph, a surprise attack? It's so flawed."

Cheng Liang smiled contemptuously, and slowly extended the Soul-Chasing Halberd forward, easily grabbing the tip of Huang Zu's spear.

"Heh..." No matter how hard Huang Zu tried, he could not move the spear at all, as if the spear tip was stuck into a mountain.

Seeing the huge gap in strength, the last bit of luck in Huang Zu's heart was instantly shattered. At this moment, he no longer cared about any strategy or tactics. He threw away his spear and rode away. "Ha, you want to run?" Cheng Liang chased after him, threw away the spear that was caught, and jumped up with the tiger. While still in the air, he swung the Soul Chaser.

"Puff..." A column of blood shot up into the sky. Huang Zu's head fell to the ground, rolled for a distance, and hit the feet of a Jingzhou soldier before stopping.

"Huang Zu..." Cai Mao and other generals of Jingzhou were filled with hatred and were furious.

Cheng Liang glanced at them and felt very happy.

"Who else? Who wants to fight me to the death?"

Seeing his arrogant attitude, Wei Yan could not help but get furious: "You thief, you look down on my soldiers of Jingzhou, so take my sword."

He slapped his horse, brandished his sword, and rushed towards Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang was overjoyed: "Haha, you're just in time. Today I will chop all of you clowns to pieces. Let's see if you dare to challenge the majesty of the court again."

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others in the distance looked disdainful.

"This Wei Yan has always loved to show off. Cheng Liang is in high spirits right now, so we should use the tactic of human sea to make him tired before fighting him. Wei Yan is ignorant of the world. If he dies in battle again, won't it bring shame to our soldiers in Jingzhou?"

A bearded man spat at Wei Yan's back from a distance.

"Hey, Daorong, we are all brothers in Jingzhou, why are you so harsh? Wenchang is one of the best generals in Jingzhou. Although Cheng Liang is good, his martial arts are not top-notch. I think we can fight."

Cai Mao acted like a peacemaker, but looking at his expression, it was clear that he was somewhat sarcastic and angry towards Wei Yan.

Xing Daorong was furious when he heard this: "What is Wei Yan? I, Xing Daorong, am the best general in Jingzhou. Humph, if my lord had not listened to other people's slander, the representative of Jingzhou generals serving by my lord's side should be me, not that old man."

When Xing Daorong was talking about this, he looked indignant. Cai Mao glanced at him and said, "Yes, yes, after that ungrateful Wei Yan is defeated, the general will go forward and kill Cheng Liang. Wouldn't that be a good opportunity to make a name for himself?"

Xing Daorong's face then became proud: "Humph, I hope Cheng Liang is not so weak."

Zhang Yun came to Cai Mao and said in a low voice, "Wei Yan is very ambitious, and my lord has long wanted to split my Jingzhou soldiers. If he is allowed to achieve merit in this battle, I am afraid he will break away from my Jingzhou faction and become the second Huang Zhong. The general must be on guard."

Cai Mao sneered, "Humph, Huang Zhong is old and has only one son, who is also a sickly one. This general cannot win him over. Although he is in Jingzhou, he is a lone minister. Wei Yan is different. His family has many in-laws with other families in Jingzhou. Although he has a bad temper and is not popular, so he is isolated in the army, but the lord will never trust him as much as he trusts Huang Zhong."

Zhang Yun nodded slightly: "That's true. Last time he fought with Cao Ang and others, he wanted to take the opportunity to become famous, so as to break away from the Jingzhou faction and present treasures to the lord, but in the end he almost died, and the lord didn't like him, hehe..."

Cai Mao glanced at Wei Yan and said, "Now the lord is very wary of us. The more so, the more we must not quarrel among ourselves. At least on the surface, we must maintain harmony and not give Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others the opportunity to divide us one by one. Otherwise, we will have no place to stand in Jingzhou or under the lord's command."

"Of course." Zhang Yun said firmly, "Generals Xiahou and Cao don't take us foreign generals seriously. It's really hateful."

While the two were talking, Wei Yan and Cheng Liang had already started fighting.
