Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1119 Zhang Yong Covers the Rear
Guan Yu immediately drew his sword and glared at him: "Zhou Yu, you want to deal with me with such a treacherous trick? Isn't it wishful thinking?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "General Guan, you can try as much as you want."

Zhou Yuan hurried to Guan Yu and said, "General Guan, the city gate has been blocked by the enemy. We are all trapped in the city."

Guan Yu looked around without panicking, and then said: "You and the Qin and Chu soldiers split into two groups, and investigate the remaining gates respectively. The other generals, follow me to charge and kill all the enemy troops blocking the city. Then abandon your horses, rush to the city tower, and capture Zhou Yu alive."

Zhou Yuan was a little surprised by his plan. After all, his side was now ambushed. Even if they broke out to protect themselves, it would be extremely difficult. However, General Guan was still thinking about turning defeat into victory.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the most feasible way to escape from the predicament now. I can't help but admire General Guan a little more.

Several cavalry units attacked in different directions.

Even on the roads within the city, the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry was no match for the ordinary infantry of Jiangdong. Guan Yu, Zhou Yuan, and Qin Chu all advanced forward rapidly, almost sweeping across the city, and no one could stop them.

Soon, Guan Yu led his army and attacked the city gate where Zhou Yu was.

Thousands of arrows were fired from the city walls, but they had little effect in front of the heavy armor of the Purple Gold Dragon Riders. Moreover, the Purple Gold Dragon Riders were soldiers picked from hundreds of miles away, and their martial arts were extraordinary. Blocking arrows was just an ordinary skill for them.

Guan Yu did not hesitate for a moment and shouted, "Get off your horses, follow me up to the tower and capture Zhou Yu alive!"

However, at this moment, Zhou Yu, who had been watching the changes in the battle situation, suddenly raised his arm and shouted: "The enemy has fallen into the trap, take action."

Guan Yu and the others were shocked when they heard this. They stopped their horses and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, black shadows were thrown down from the city wall. When they fell to the ground, Guan Yu looked down and saw that they were bundles of dry firewood.

He soon realized something and looked around hurriedly. Sure enough, dry firewood was being thrown down from the tops of the city walls, and small catapults were also throwing small bundles of dry firewood towards places far away from the city walls.

In just a moment, the three teams of purple-gold dragon riders were surrounded by these dry firewood.

Everyone knew that the only weakness of the heavily armored Purple Gold Dragon Riders was fire attacks, so they immediately became nervous and tried to break out quickly.

But would Zhou Yu let them do as they wished?

He ordered the flag-bearing officer beside him to wave the flag, and teams of archers replaced the soldiers who were throwing firewood. The arrows in their hands were all rockets. They drew their bows and shot arrows very cleanly and neatly. In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired.

"Retreat quickly...break out through the east gate..."

Guan Yu saw the fire raging, and it was difficult to rush out as Zhou Yu was personally commanding the city gate. He saw that the fire in the east seemed to be slightly weaker, so he made a quick decision and ordered his men to rush to the east.

Lu Su said to Zhou Yu with some admiration: "Gongjin is very smart. He knows that Guan Yu is arrogant and doesn't take us seriously. He will definitely divide his troops into several groups and attack separately to try to break out of the city. Otherwise, if he concentrates his army in one place to launch a charge, it will be really difficult for our army to resist."

Zhou Yu was calm and confident: "I have made careful plans this time. I will definitely use Guan Yu's head to show the power of our Jiangdong army to the world."

Guan Yu, Zhou Yuan, Qin Chu, three cavalrymen were all trapped by the fire. A lot of flammable materials were added to the dry firewood. With a flick of the trigger, a raging fire immediately rose into the sky, making a whooshing sound. Even these battle-hardened soldiers were not afraid, but the horses under their crotch instinctively tried to avoid the flames.

These war horses leaped and pranced left and right, and many soldiers who were not good at riding horses fell off their horses.

For a moment, this cavalry that had fought for many years without a single defeat fell into chaos. Although the fire had not yet spread to the point of killing many soldiers, it was extremely difficult to break out of the fire circle in such a chaotic situation.

Guan Yu frowned and looked at him angrily. He pulled the reins tightly and forcibly held down Liao Yuan Yidianxing, who was also a little frightened, and stared straight at the city gate not far ahead.

“Since you, Zhou Yu, want to trap me here and not let me charge through the other city gates to join the other two armies, I, Guan Yu, will charge out from the gate you are personally guarding today, so that the world will know that I, Guan Yu, am not just a name for nothing, and that the mighty Han Dynasty cannot be bullied!”

Thinking of this, Guan Yu took a deep breath and squeezed his legs hard on his warhorse. Liaoyuan Yidianxing had been frightened by the fire and wanted to escape, but was stopped by his master. Now, with his master's order, he poured all his strength into his four hooves and rushed out like a locust in an instant.

"Hurry and stop him!"

Veteran General Huang Gai, outside the circle of fire, hurriedly gave orders to a team of archers around him.

Waves of arrows were fired at Guan Yu, but he did not slow down at all. The Qinglong Sword turned into a cold light, and most of the arrows were shot away. The few that hit Guan Yu only left white spots on his armor. Guan Yu was unstoppable and rushed to the front of the fire circle in a blink of an eye. His eyebrows were raised, and the murderous aura seemed to burst out from between his eyebrows.

"Go away!"

With a loud shout, the Qinglong Sword swung forward fiercely, and countless dry firewood was picked up and flew away. Some fell on the ground, splashing sparks, while some fell on the archers in front of Huang Gai, instantly igniting their cloth armor.

"Ah... help..."

"It's on fire, it's on fire...Help me..."

These soldiers ran around wildly or rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames on their bodies, but the more they did so, the more they implicated their comrades. The formation of the 100-man crossbow team led by Huang Gai was instantly defeated.

"Humph, you clown, I'll kill you first."

Guan Yu swung his sword several times, splitting the circle of fire in front of him, then rushed out on his horse. Seeing this, the Purple Gold Dragon Riders behind him hurried to follow.

When Huang Gai saw Guan Yu breaking through the encirclement and heading straight towards him, he was startled, but he did not run away. Instead, he looked ready to fight.

Guan Yu snorted coldly and did not take the old general seriously. While still twenty or thirty steps away, he gathered strength in his right arm, ready to use the tactic of dragging the sword to kill the enemy general and boost morale.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw black shadows flying out from both sides. Before Guan Yu could come to his senses, these black shadows landed in front of him. Looking closely, he saw that they were all kinds of baggage and sundries, forcing him to stop his horse.

Following closely behind, Generals Han Dang and Zhu Zhi each led more than a hundred spearmen to attack Guan Yu.

Spears that were more than ten feet long were all stabbing at Guan Yu. Guan Yu was slightly startled and became more cautious about Zhou Yu's endless tricks. At the same time, he did not lag behind and waved his Green Dragon Crescent Blade repeatedly. After a series of crisp sounds, more than ten spear heads appeared on the ground around him.

"General Guan, I will come to help you in the future."

Yan Quan led several hundred cavalrymen and was the first to follow Guan Yu out of the fire circle. Just as he was about to rush forward to help and kill Han Dang, he heard someone shouting, "Enemy general, don't be so arrogant. I, Jiang Qin from Shouchun, am here. Watch out for the gun!"

Jiang Qin, with hundreds of men, rushed out from a side alley and stood in front of Yan Quan, blocking his way to rescue Guan Yu.

"You are such a hateful thief! I swear to tear you into pieces!"

Seeing Guan Yu trapped in a tight encirclement, Yan Quan could not help but feel filled with hatred, and rushed towards Jiang Qin with gnashing teeth.

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the red glow that filled the sky when the sun set had also completely dissipated. Outside the city, the night had gradually enveloped it, but only the city was illuminated by the fire as if it were daytime.

Seeing that the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry had fallen into Zhou Yu's numerous traps and was unable to escape, and was about to be destroyed at any moment, a Jiangdong soldier ran towards Zhou Yu with a panicked look on his face.

Lu Su looked at him and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

Zhou Yu, however, remained calm and still had a smile on his face.

The soldier did not have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said hurriedly: "Report... Report to General Zhou, Zhang Yong... Zhang Yong led an army of 60,000 and has circled to the rear of our army. At this moment, he is only more than 20 miles away from here and is heading towards our army..."

Lu Su's face changed when he heard this: "Oh no! Zhang Yong traveled lightly and took advantage of our army's attention being diverted by Guan Yu to bypass our army and launch a sneak attack. Could it be..."

He seemed to have thought of something, with a look of shock on his face: "Could it be that... Guan Yu's Purple Gold Dragon Riders are just bait, and Zhang Yong's 60,000 troops are the main force of the enemy?"

Thinking of this, even Lu Su felt a little scared.

What is Guan Yu's identity? Liu He's sworn brother, among the generals of the Luoyang court, has an unrivaled status, and his Purple Gold Dragon Riders are considered the best cavalry in the world. Liu He is willing to use him as bait, which is really hard to guard against.

Just when Lu Su and the other generals were a little panicked, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand: "I know, you go down and continue to investigate."

Lu Su was stunned: "Gongjin, Zhang Yong's army is coming fiercely, and it has blocked our retreat. It will take a long time for our army to wipe out the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry. If he and Guan Yu attack from both sides, our army will be doomed. How can you still laugh?"
