Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1116 Guan Yu is ambushed
"Ta Tata..."

A series of extremely heavy horse hoof sounds, accompanied by a sky full of dust, appeared on an official road somewhere in the northwest of Runan County.

Qin Chu galloped on his horse while looking ahead, saying, "It's a pity that the official road in Yuzhou is too dilapidated, blocking our army's way forward. Otherwise, we would have already fought with those Jiangdong brats."

Zhou Yuan said, "I see that this official road has obvious signs of human destruction. I think it was done by Zhou Yu. It seems that this man is indeed quite strategic. No wonder the young Zhuge, who was called the Sleeping Dragon of the time by Your Majesty, also praised him highly. He is blocking our army from rushing to help. He must have set many traps to deal with us. We need to be cautious."

Guan Yu snorted coldly, "The generals of Jiangdong are nothing but rats. After the battle of Luoyang, they only went to Hangu Pass for a surprise attack. After losing the battle, they lost their ambition and fled in panic like a dog that has lost its home. Such mediocre children are nothing to be afraid of. If they dare to invade Yuzhou this time, they will be courting death."

There was a gleam of murderous intent in his eyes. The generals around him had followed him for many years and naturally understood that General Guan was remembering the blood feud with General Cheng Liang.

Although the three generals were killed by the thief Cao, who in turn died at the hands of Sun Ce, on the surface, it seemed that Sun Ce had avenged the three generals.

However, Liao took the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou and continued to be hostile to the imperial court. In the eyes of General Guan and the soldiers in the army, Sun Ce became the successor of Cao Cao's territory. The hatred of General Cheng Liang was naturally transferred to him. The regret of the people for not being able to kill Cao Cao personally and the hatred for Cheng Liang's death, combined, made them hate Sun Ce even more than Cao Cao.

Among the few people, Zhou Yuan was the calmest. He reminded them, "Before we set off, His Majesty had told us that Zhou Yu was an expert in military tactics and was a sworn brother to Sun Ce. They were also known as the two pillars of Jiangdong. The general must be on guard."

Guan Yu said coldly: "Third brother, we must avenge our blood feud. No matter how hard it is, we must take the head of this thief and pay tribute to his spirit in heaven. Pass the order and speed up!"

Everyone was on full alert and marching quickly. After they had walked for a while, Guan Yu's brows suddenly became stern. He immediately drew his sword and shouted to stop the army.

Zhou Yuan and others were puzzled and asked, "General Guan, why did you stop your horse and not move forward? Did you discover something?"

Guan Yu was filled with murderous intent. He glanced to both sides with his phoenix eyes and stroked his long beard: "Who are you, you dare to ambush here? You dare to be so sneaky in front of me, it's simply a joke."

When everyone heard that there was an ambush, they immediately drew their weapons and looked around.

At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out: "Hahaha... Guan Yu is indeed a famous general of the time, and there is indeed no false reputation."

After saying that, figures flashed out from both sides of the mountain road ahead, and bows and arrows were aimed at Guan Yu and others.

The leading general, holding a crescent halberd, pointed at Guan Yu from above and said, "I wonder how General Guan could have seen through our ambush?"

Guan Yu saw that the enemy's army was well-organized and well-equipped with bows and crossbows, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he showed a hint of disdain.

"You clowns, you don't know what's good for you. In this forest, wherever my cavalry goes, the birds are startled and the beasts are terrified. Only here, there is silence, no echo. If there is no ambush, what else could it be? People say Zhou Yu is quite smart, huh, huh, in my opinion, he is just a traitor."

The other party looked a little surprised, but soon regained his confidence.

"Well, General Guan is famous, and today I, Ding Feng, finally get to see him. But even if you see through our plan, what can you do? With thousands of arrows fired at you, how can you escape alive?"

After saying this, he did not give Guan Yu any chance to speak and immediately ordered the arrows to be shot.

Guan Yu sneered: "You are using bows and crossbows against my heavily armored cavalry. Zhou Yu is just a kid. Disperse the whole army and retreat quickly!"

The Purple Gold Dragon Riders quickly separated and retreated at the same time. The rain of arrows shot down from the sky, but most of them missed the target, and some were knocked down by the waving weapons. Only a few were able to hit the Purple Gold Dragon Riders, and they fell to the ground with a series of "ding-dong" sounds after colliding with the armor on the soldiers or horses.

Because Guan Yu discovered the ambush early, the large group of troops did not enter the center of the ambush circle, and only the thousands of cavalry in the front were exposed to the rain of arrows. At this moment, Guan Yu gave an order, and the 20,000 purple gold dragon cavalry moved very quickly, and within a moment, they withdrew from the coverage of the rain of arrows.

Ding Feng became a little impatient when he saw this, and raised his arms and shouted: "Don't let them get away. We must stop them today no matter what, otherwise it will ruin the governor's plan."

He personally led the team and directed the ambush troops in the mountains and forests on both sides, chasing in the direction of the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry's retreat, continuing to shoot as they chased.

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, and he was filled with murderous intent: "You thief, you came here to seek death. I will grant you your wish."

After he finished speaking, he swung the Qinglong Sword and clamped his legs together to create the Liaoyuan Yidianxing horse under his crotch. Although this majestic warhorse was not as tall as the original Chiyan Jueying, its four hooves were strong and powerful, which was rare in the world. Upon receiving the order from its master, it understood what he meant, sneezed loudly, and rushed forward at full speed.

Seeing this, Ding Feng immediately ordered the archers around him to aim at Guan Yu and shoot.

More than a hundred archers shot arrows at Guan Yu, but Guan Yu did not take them seriously at all. He waved the Qinglong Sword casually in front of him, and only bursts of metal collision sounds were heard, and the arrows fell to the ground one after another.

"rise!"

Guan Yu let out a low shout, exerted force on his hind hooves, leaped high into the air, and, braving the rain of arrows, landed steadily on a small mound at the foot of the mountain in front of him.

Ding Feng could not help but be horrified: "Quick, surround them, whoever can take Guan Yu's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, oh no, ten thousand gold coins!"

Although Guan Yu was famous, there was only one person who came forward at this moment. In addition, the temptation of millions of gold still attracted many soldiers. They put away their bows and crossbows, took up swords and spears, and killed Guan Yu together.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, without even opening his eyes, he rode forward, the cold light of the Qinglong Sword flashed, and he easily took off the head of a Jiangdong soldier who was rushing in the front.

"System prompt: Guan Yu's basic force is 104, and his King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and mount have increased by 5 points in total."

"Trigger the special skill 'Martial Saint', increasing your own martial power by 4 points."

"Trigger the special skill 'King of Swords', increase the force by 3 points."

"Trigger the special skill 'Mighty Shock', increase the force by 2 points."

"Guan Yu's overall strength is 118 points."

At this time, Guan Yu was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Facing the more than a hundred Jiangdong soldiers, Guan Yu cut them like chopping melons and vegetables. With a wave of his sword, a head flew high.

Soon, with dozens of heads falling, the Jiangdong soldiers finally realized the huge gap between themselves and the number one general of the Luoyang court. The crazy morale before had been exhausted and fell to the bottom. The remaining people scattered like birds and beasts and fled for their lives.

Ding Feng was furious and anxious. He drew his sword and killed two of the fleeing soldiers with one blow. He shouted, "You who flee from the battlefield must be punished. Follow me and kill them all. If you can kill Guan Yu, you will be the most meritorious official in Jiangdong!"

He led the charge, mounted his warhorse, and personally charged towards Guan Yu.

Guan Yu sneered: "Hmph, a grain of rice can also shine. Today I will send you off first, and then I will go to get the head of that kid Zhou Yu."
