Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1120 The Battle of Two Hegemons
Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously, "Zi Jing, why are you so panicked? Liu He is good at using troops, so he will not let Guan Yu go deep into the enemy's territory alone without any reinforcements. Gao Shun is leading a group of heavily armed infantrymen, so it is difficult for them to march quickly. Therefore, I have already expected that Zhang Yong would take a detour to cut off our army's food supply route, so how could I not be prepared?"

Lu Su was extremely surprised when he heard this: "Gongjin is really a master of foresight, but I wonder how he will deal with Zhang Yong? You must know that Zhang Yong is very good at using troops. Although he is not as brave as Guan Yu and Zhu Ye, his ability to lead troops is comparable to Gao Shun. He is one of the top generals in the world. In our army, apart from you, Gongjin, I really can't think of anyone who can compete with him."

"Besides, now that Zhang Yong is here, I'm afraid Zhu Ye will also lead the Thunder God Cavalry to attack together. The road to the south of here is smooth and there are no dangerous terrains. Even if there are some ambushes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with these two fierce generals in the enemy army."

Lu Su has always been straightforward and speaks his mind. At this moment, he did not delay and asked Zhou Yu all the doubts in his mind.

Zhou Yu obviously saw what he was thinking, but he did not say it out loud. He just held Lu Su's hand and said, "Zi Jing, please relax. I have put a lot of thought into today's plan. I have already planned all the possibilities. I believe that even if Liu He comes in person, he will not be able to escape from my control."

Seeing that he was confident, Lu Su was still puzzled but did not think much about it.

At this moment, about twenty miles south of Runan City, tens of thousands of troops were marching at full speed.

Most of these soldiers were lightly armored infantry. They kept pace and ran forward together, which showed their strict military discipline and good training.

The two generals in the lead were Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye. Zhu Ye's 500 Thunder God Riders followed closely behind, all of them looked exhausted, and it was obvious that they had traveled day and night in the past few days to get here.

"Report to the two generals, we are still more than 20 miles away from Runan City. Our army will rush as fast as possible and arrive in two hours."

The speakers were Deputy General Zhang Yong, Chen Lie, and Chen Zifu, the Xuzhou merchant who had generously funded the construction of Yunhai County, the head of the Xuzhou Chen family branch, the eldest son of Chen Qing, and the nephew of Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.

As Zhang Yong continued on his way, he asked, "Did the pigeon send any news?"

"General, according to the pigeon message that arrived not long ago, the two generals have already entered Runan City. I'm afraid they have fallen into Zhou Yu's plan of fire attack."

Zhang Yong nodded: "Well, if we calculate this way, Zhou Yu's main force is indeed in the city."

Zhu Ye was a little impatient: "In that case, what are we waiting for, Fourth Brother, let me go ahead and break through the gate of Runan City. Fire and water are merciless. If Second Brother is injured, even if Big Brother's brilliant plan succeeds, it will be very bad."

Zhang Yong thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Well, that's fine. Be careful, Fifth Brother. Zhou Yu is very wise, you must not be careless."

Zhu Ye said seriously, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother."

After that, he called out to the back: "Brothers of the Thunder God Cavalry, cheer up and follow me to speed up the march."

Just as he was leading the five hundred Thunder God Riders and preparing to change horses and continue their journey, he suddenly heard a loud drumbeat and Zhang Yong immediately became alert.

"Is there an ambush?" Zhang Yong looked around, but remained calm.

Zhu Ye didn't care at all: "This place is flat, with only a few earth slopes and sparse pine trees. It is difficult to launch fire attacks or flooding in such a terrain. I believe that the enemy army has 100,000 people, but they are no match for you and me. Fourth brother will stop the enemy here, and I will charge and break through the enemy formation, so as not to delay the rescue of second brother."

While the two were talking, a large group of soldiers appeared on the slope not far to the right front. On the large banner flying high, the word "Sun" was clearly written!

"Could it be... Sun Ce has come in person?" Looking at the enemy's majestic formation and the large banner, Zhang Yong quickly thought of the enemy's main general.

Zhu Ye was immediately excited when he heard this: "Sun Ce? I've heard for a long time that this boy is known as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong. Big brother said that I have the courage of an Overlord reincarnated. Humph, today I want to compete with this Little Overlord."

As expected, the leader of the enemy army rode out on a horse. This man was tall, dressed in silver armor, and rode a yellow horse named Yunluo Fanshan Beast. He held the Overlord Spear in his hand and looked truly majestic. He was none other than Sun Ce, Sun Bofu, the current lord of Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

Sun Ce had always been brooding over the death of his father Sun Jian in the battle of Hangu Pass. What he thought about day and night was to avenge his father and redress the shame for his country. Now that his enemy was right in front of him, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Without saying a word, he shouted and led his army to attack Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye from a high position.

Zhang Yong hurriedly shouted: "Fifth brother, don't be reckless. Hurry to Runan County. I will stop them here."

Zhu Ye refused to listen: "Since the enemy has already expected you and I to come here, they will definitely be on guard against our Thunder God Cavalry. For now, I will go to fight Sun Ce, and you can order Chen Zifu to lead the troops to rush to Runan for support." Zhang Yong thought it made sense when he heard it. What's more, Sun Ce came in person, and the other side was well-rested. Moreover, this man was very brave. If it weren't for my fifth brother to deal with him, I'm afraid I would also be in a tough battle, and the army would not be able to escape to Runan in time, which would be detrimental to the overall situation.

He immediately turned to Chen Lie and ordered: "You will lead 2,000 infantrymen and 800 archers immediately, regardless of the cost, to Runan as quickly as possible to relieve the two generals. If you fail, you will be beheaded."

"I will obey my orders."

Chen Lie took the order and immediately ordered his troops to wade across a shallow stream on the left and head straight for Runan.

When Sun Ce saw this small group of troops leaving, he was disdainful in his heart: "Humph, such a small group, even if they rush to Runan, they will only give Gongjin a few more military merits."

He was also very confident in Zhou Yu's plan. At this moment, he had no worries at all. Holding the Overlord Spear, he aimed directly at Zhu Ye's face.

Zhu Ye had not met an opponent for a long time. Seeing Sun Ce coming at him aggressively, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart and shouted in a low voice: "Well done!"

"System prompt: Zhu Ye vs. Sun Ce."

"Zhu Ye's basic force is 102, and his soldier king, armor king, and mount have increased by 5 points in total."

"The skill 'Strong' is triggered. Due to the weight of the weapon, the force is increased by 6 points. Since we are currently fighting Sun Ce alone, and our own army is about , which is roughly the same as the enemy's army, the skill of fighting the majority with the minority effect is not triggered yet."

"Trigger the special skill 'Divine Power', increase the force by 3 points."

"Trigger the special skill 'Hammer Tyrant', increase the military strength by 2 points, and the military strength of the Thunder Knights under your command will be collectively increased by 2 points. In addition, since the number of Thunder Knights does not exceed 3, Zhu Ye's commander and military strength will each be increased by 1 points, and reduce the military strength of all enemy generals on the battlefield by point."

"In summary, Zhu Ye's overall force is 121 points."

"After Sun Ce lost his father, he worked hard to govern the country and practiced martial arts diligently. His basic martial arts strength increased to 100 points, and his weapons, armor, and mounts increased by 3 points in total."

"Trigger the special skill 'Divine Bravery', increasing the force by 2 points."

"The skill 'Strong Fight' is triggered. The enemy general's basic military strength meets the requirement of 80 points, so Sun Ce's military strength increases by 1 point. Zhu Ye's basic military strength is 80 points higher than 22, which increases Sun Ce's military strength by another 4 points."

"Affected by Zhu Ye's 'Hammer Tyrant' skill, weakened by 1 point of force."

"Sun Ce's current comprehensive military strength is 109 points."

Just when Liu He heard the system message, he was full of confidence that with the huge gap of 12 points, Zhu Ye could kill Sun Ce in this battle in one fell swoop, but the system poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"System prompt: Sun Ce inherited Sun Jian's 'Tiger' skill."

"Fierce Tiger: Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, has a special skill that makes him extremely brave in battle. During battle, his own military strength increases by 3 points, and the military strength of his generals increases by 1 point. There is a chance that the effect of 'tiger pouncing on prey' will occur, and the military strength will instantly burst by 2 points."

"After Sun Ce inherits it, it becomes the special skill 'Ba Hu': Sun Ce inherits Sun Jian's exclusive special skill, fighting extremely bravely, his own force is increased by 4 points during battle, and there is a chance to produce the 'Ba Hu Zhen Shan' effect, and the force will instantly burst out by 3 points."

"Affected by the 'Ba Hu' skill, Sun Ce's overall force is increased to 113 points."

Double hammers against long spears, the two most powerful generals of the time, clashed for the first time here, only to hear a crisp "clang" sound, and sparks flew everywhere.
