Chapter 1086 Night Attack on Hanzhong
It has been five days since Zhang Ren's troops were stationed in Hanzhong.

It was a cloudy night, with a dark moon and strong winds. Although it was not pitch dark, it was almost as dark as the sky.

In a mountain road on the northwest side of Hanzhong, Nanzheng City, things were not peaceful.

"Ta Tata..."

The dull sound of horse hooves seemed particularly harsh in this unusually quiet night.

Guan Yu left a total of 5,000 Purple Gold Dragon Riders in Liang Province, and all of them were brought out by Zhang Liao at this time.

Today's Zhang Liao is no longer the naive boy he was in Yanmen back then. After more than ten years of military career, he has been tempered into a famous general with both wisdom and courage.

His eyes were fixed on the flames that flickered in and out at the end of the mountain path ahead.

"Zhang Ren is indeed a famous Sichuan general who can fight against General Zhang Yong. He can station an army outside the city. Even if he encounters a surprise attack, he can at least keep the city intact. Once the war starts, the defenders in the city can rush out from the gates on both sides and attack from both sides. Combined with the terrain of Hanzhong, it can be said to be both offensive and defensive."

With just one glance, he guessed Zhang Ren's general intention of arranging the formation.

But even so, he was still confident: "Hehe, Your Majesty won a great victory at Hulao Pass. Although Cao Cao escaped, his forces were completely annihilated and Yuzhou was recaptured. I will fight in Hanzhong tonight and scare these rats in Xichuan so that they dare not offend the majesty of heaven again."

Although this mountain road is not wide, it is much better than those mountain roads in Shuzhong. Three thousand cavalrymen galloping on it does not seem very crowded, so the marching speed is also very fast.

Zhang Ren's military camp was naturally no ordinary place. Even at this late hour, the guards in the camp did not slacken their vigilance at all. Teams of soldiers took turns patrolling in an orderly manner.

The five thousand purple-gold dragon riders were still five miles away when the guards heard the unusual noises on the mountain road and immediately blew the horns.

It was only a distance of five miles, which was just a blink of an eye for the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry. Before the enemy troops who were still sleeping in the camp could gather, Zhang Liao had already rushed to the front of the camp.

"Ha, Zhang Wenyuan from Yanmen is here, will the thief die soon?"

The black and yellow hook sickle attacked fiercely. The extremely sharp blade, with the support of Zhang Liao's tremendous strength, smashed the gate of the village open with just two cuts.

"Brothers, charge in!"

Zhang Liao led the charge with five thousand purple-gold dragon riders. Like a giant black dragon in the darkness, he razed the area near the village gate to the ground in a blink of an eye.

"The enemy attacked at night... the enemy attacked at night... ah..."

The soldier guarding the gate only had time to shout these two times before he was shot dead by an arrow and fell from the watchtower.

"System prompt: Zhang Liao has activated his special skill 'Robbery Camp', increasing his Command by 2 points and his Military Strength by 3 points."

"Zhang Liao's basic command is 89, basic strength is 97, weapons, armor, and mounts increase strength by 3 points. His current comprehensive command is 91, and comprehensive strength is 103."

The power of the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry is well-known throughout the world. In terms of lethality, they are the most powerful among all cavalry. Five thousand Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry marched out together, and in a short while, they turned the military camp upside down, leaving everyone in the camp in chaos, with screams ringing out from all directions.

"Hey, you enemy general, don't be so arrogant. Do you know your grandfather Ling Bao?"

A general rode out from the side, holding a Xuanhua axe, and chopped Zhang Liao on the head.

"Tsk..." Just by looking at the opponent's opening move, Zhang Liao knew that this man's axe skills and martial arts were really mediocre. Compared with the two axe masters Zhang Yong and Xu Huang, there was a world of difference.

He raised his hand and swung the knife, which collided with Ling Bao's Xuanhua Axe. After a spark flew, the Xuanhua Axe broke away from Ling Bao's hands and flew high into the air.

"Ah..." Ling Bao, who had been somewhat arrogant just now, immediately turned pale. He dared not to fight any longer, so he turned around and fled on his horse.

"Want to leave? Not that easy." Zhang Liao spurred his horse and chased after him.

Zhang Liao chased Ling Bao all the way, and the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry was also invincible. They were killing in high spirits in this military camp and quickly killed their way into the depths of the camp.

"Don't run, you evil general..." Zhang Liao chased Ling Bao aggressively, from the vicinity of the camp gate, all the way to the other side of the camp.

At this moment, Ling Bao suddenly reined in his horse, stopped, turned around and looked at Zhang Liao.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao immediately became alert, stopped, and looked at the other party warily.

"Humph, little thief, why don't you run away?"

Ling Bao changed his previous panic-stricken expression and became very proud: "Hehe, your death is approaching, and this is where you, Zhang Liao, will be buried." As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of shouts and screams suddenly rang out from both sides, and at the same time, banners were erected in the dark.

"Xichuan Yan Yan is here, Zhang Liao, accept your fate!"

An old general with a white beard came riding a horse, holding a big knife in his hand, and went straight to Zhang Liao's face.

Zhang Liao cried out in his heart, "Falling into a trap!", but his face did not show the slightest sign of panic. Instead, he sneered at Yan Yan.

"You old bastard, are you here to die? I'm going to kill you!"

"System prompt: Zhang Liao versus Yan Yan."

"Yan Yan's basic force is 92, his weapon is upgraded by 1 point, and he has no special skill bonus. His current comprehensive force is 93 points."

"Zhang Liao's 'Robbing Camp' skill is invalid, and the current comprehensive force becomes 100 points."

Yan Yan's face was filled with anger: "You ignorant boy, I will teach you the price of underestimating me."

He wielded the big knife in his hand and attacked repeatedly, looking very powerful, but he could not do anything to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was worried that other enemy generals might attack together, so he held back some of his strength and was on guard. After ten rounds, he saw that the other Sichuan and Shu generals had been watching the fight from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"I have heard for a long time that General Yan Yan is a famous general in Sichuan, second only to Zhang Ren in bravery. It seems that what they said is true. They must have believed that the old general could win, so they did not come forward to help. This is a flaw."

Zhang Liao made up his mind and immediately launched an all-out counterattack.

Whether in martial arts or strength, Zhang Liao was better than Yan Yan. What's more, he was in his prime, while Yan Yan was nearly forty years old, making him even more of a match for him.

Zhang Liao exerted his strength and in just five moves he cut Yan Yan's right shoulder with his sword.

"Zhang Liao, you are indeed very brave. I am no match for you, so don't chase me."

Seeing Yan Yan riding away, Zhang Liao was about to chase him, but suddenly he remembered the lesson from Ling Bao. He immediately tightened the reins, looked around, and prepared to find an opportunity to break out.

At this moment, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air suddenly came to my ears.

"Oh no, Zhang Ren!"

"System prompt: Zhang Ren's special skill 'Ambush Shooting' is activated, which increases his archery skill by 4 points and reduces Zhang Liao's force by 2 points."

"Zhang Ren's basic archery skill is 97, and the three-stone bow skill has been improved by 1 point. His current comprehensive archery skill is 102 points."

"Affected by this, Zhang Liao's overall military strength has dropped to 98 points."

"Whoosh..."

When he heard this sound, Zhang Liao could almost feel the force of the arrow approaching the back of his head.

He instinctively tilted his head and swung the sickle backwards.

"Bah..."

The feather arrow hit the target and slid past the back of the sickle. The moment the arrow head rubbed against the back of the sickle, it made a teeth-shaking sound, which gave Zhang Liao goose bumps all over his body.

He shook his head hard to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling, and roared at the darkness beside him: "Zhang Ren, you are known as the best general in Sichuan, but you are hiding your head and showing your tail, and doing such a sneak attack? If you have the guts, come out and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

"Hahahaha..." A wild laugh responded to Zhang Liao's words.

Immediately afterwards, a military general, illuminated by several torches that suddenly appeared, walked out from the darkness over a hundred steps away.

Zhang Ren stared at Zhang Liao with a mocking look on his face. "How dare you say that to me? You are known as the deputy commander of the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry. In Guan Yu's absence, you are in charge of the Liang Province's military power temporarily. I thought you were such a great hero, but I didn't expect you to be just brave but not wise, with only a false reputation. I expected that you would take advantage of the darkness tonight to come and attack the camp. Humph, let's see where you can escape to this day."

He waved his hand and the messenger beside him blew the horn. Suddenly, deafening shouts of killing were heard from all directions.

This is the last big volume, and it is estimated that there will be 300,000 to 500,000 words and 10,000 books.
