Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1141: Yu Liang Fights Again
When Liu Zheng heard the voice, he immediately recognized it as the voice of Sun Ce, the Little Overlord of Jiangdong. He was a little surprised. Sun Ce's reinforcements arrived more than half an hour later than expected, otherwise he would not have been able to kill the two Shen brothers so easily.

His original plan was to lure out Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, let them come to chase him, and then set an ambush against them. However, they appeared after he decided to withdraw his troops, making his ambush in vain.

Of course, he and Zhuge Liang had not intended to defeat the Jiangdong troops with such a simple tactic, so they did not seem to be panicked at the moment.

Liu Zheng acted decisively and ordered one thousand of the three thousand soldiers to escort the captives back to the city. These captives had no loyalty to the Sun family in the first place, and even if there might be a few old soldiers from Jiangdong hiding among them, with these one thousand people escorting them, there was no need to worry about them causing any trouble. After all, this place was only twenty miles away from Nanzheng City.

At the same time, he ordered the two thousand soldiers who were ambushed in the woods not far away to come out and join him. These were elite soldiers who had fought many battles, and they moved very quickly at the command, in small teams, trotting forward, and soon, a total of four thousand soldiers were in formation.

Liu Zheng also came to the front of the two armies, immediately held his spear in his hand, and confronted Sun Ce and Zhou Yu from a distance.

He looked at the two men. Their faces were not red and they were not out of breath. The soldiers behind them did not show any signs of fatigue. He immediately understood in his heart that these two men did not just rush in from the military camp, but had been waiting not far away.

"It seems that they are going to use me to kill these two useless people from the Shen family. I miscalculated."

However, knowing that he had fallen into a trap, Liu Zheng was not too disappointed. The Shen brothers deserved to die, and a small mistake was not worth mentioning.

Zhou Yu still had that slightly elegant and somewhat complacent look on his face.

"My master has been ordered by the emperor to fight against the usurper Liu He. Although you are the son of the false emperor, you are quite talented. If you surrender as you wish, we will protect your life in front of the emperor."

After hearing this, Liu Zheng laughed out of anger.

"Haha, do you think I don't know your ambitions? How dare you say such words? You are really shameless."

Sun Ce was somewhat impatient: "Humph, Gongjin, why bother talking so much? Wait until I capture this guy, and then we can make a decision."

After saying that, he gave an order and the army rushed out. He himself brandished the Overlord Spear and clamped the Yunluo Mountain Beast under his crotch and charged straight towards Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng's face turned cold: "Want to capture me? Let's see how capable you are."

He raised the cold jade spear in his hand and rushed towards Sun Ce.

"System prompt: Liu Zheng vs. Sun Ce."

"Liu Zheng's basic military strength has been increased to 94 points. The King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and Mount have increased by 5 points in total. There is no special skill bonus for the time being. The current comprehensive military strength is 99 points."

"Sun Ce's basic force is 100 points, and his weapons, armor, and mounts are increased by 3 points in total."

"Sun Ce triggers the special skill 'Divine Bravery', increasing his military strength by 2 points."

"Sun Ce triggers the special skill 'Strong Fighting', and his military strength increases by 1 point. At the same time, Liu Zheng meets the basic military strength requirement of 80 points, and exceeds 80 points by a total of 14 points, which increases Sun Ce's military strength by another 2 points."

"Sun Ce triggers his special skill 'Ba Hu', increasing his force by 4 points."

"Sun Ce's current comprehensive military strength is 112 points."

There was a full 13 points difference in strength between the two sides. When the two spears collided for the first time, it was like a flash of thunder, which frightened the surrounding soldiers.

With just this one blow, Liu Zheng felt pain in the palm of his hand and was horrified.

"Sun Ce has long been known as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong, but I underestimated him because he was often defeated by my uncles in the past. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved. I'm afraid I can't last more than ten rounds against him. I must find another way."

With this thought in mind, Liu Zheng decisively made a feint to force Sun Ce back, then spurred his horse and galloped away in another direction.

"Don't run, little thief." Sun Ce was unwilling to let him go, and immediately spurred his horse to catch up with him.

Zhou Yu stood in the rear, watching the two armies fighting calmly, and then looked in the direction of the Nanzheng city hidden in the darkness in the distance.

"Zhuge Liang, oh Zhuge Liang, why don't you come out of the city to rescue us? I'm waiting for you, haha."

Although the reinforcements brought by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu numbered 15,000, they should have been crushed by Liu Zheng's mere 4,000 men.

However, there is still a big gap between the two sides in terms of equipment, individual physical fitness, combat qualities, etc. Regardless of other things, the armor worn by these 4,000 ordinary soldiers can only be worn by officers in the Jiangdong Army.

In addition, the four thousand men were divided into eight formations of five hundred each, each taking a defensive stance. Therefore, even under Zhou Yu's personal command, the offensive of fifteen thousand men could not shake the Han army's formation for a while.

Liu Zheng, relying on the slightly superior stamina of his warhorse to Sun Ce's, moved around everywhere, using the same tactics that the Shen brothers had used on him before, making Sun Ce very annoyed.

"You little thief, is this the only shameless trick you can think of? Do you dare to fight me in a fair fight?" Sun Ce kept cursing and shouting at the back, but Liu Zheng turned a deaf ear and did not respond at all.

"It's hateful. This Liu Zheng has no courage at all. It really makes me angry!"

Sun Ce became more and more angry about the warhorse under his crotch. This warhorse was purchased from Liaodong at a high price. It was a rare good horse, but it was still inferior to Liu Zheng's carefully bred Xiliang BMW.

In addition, he also realized that his side was not at an advantage in the battle between the two armies. If he could not defeat the main general Liu Zheng, and achieved such a result in a battle with such an advantage in military strength, the prestige of his Sun family among the various clans in Jingzhou would inevitably drop to the bottom, and he would then have a hard time guaranteeing that he would not follow in Cao Cao's footsteps.

Liu He, who was in a palace at the foot of Mount Tai, listened to the prompt sound from the system and roughly guessed the battle situation in Hanzhong.

"Zheng'er actually confronted Sun Ce. Now there is no other general around him who can match Sun Ce. As a father, I should lend him a helping hand."

He opened the system warehouse that had not been used for a long time and started searching.

Ever since he unified the north, he had been using the system less and less frequently. Many rewards for completing tasks were left in the system warehouse and he had never claimed them. Now, after searching around, he had found some useful things.

"This is the reward for completing the fourth-level system task 'Own a commander or a general whose military power reaches the limit of 100'. You can choose any five special skills and draw one to distribute it at will. Hurry up and draw now."

He selected five stunts that looked good in the system and clicked "Start".

"Congratulations to the host, you have drawn the special skill 'Counter Soldier' ​​- the bonus of the enemy general's weapon is invalidated, and the bonus of your own weapon is doubled."

Liu He curled his lips. Among the five skills, this one was not the best, but it was better than nothing.

"Assign this skill to Liu Zheng."

"Ding, system prompts, Liu Zheng has been granted the skill 'Counter Soldier' ​​by the host, and the special skill has been triggered. The current Soldier King bonus has doubled, and the comprehensive force has increased to 101."

"Sun Ce's weapon bonus is reduced by the skill 'Counter Soldiers', and his military strength is reduced by 1 point. His overall military strength becomes 111."

"Give him this book 'Shocking and Destroying Spear Technique' as well. This is the only book on spear technique that is most suitable for him right now."

Liu Zheng searched through the martial arts encyclopedia before finding this book on spearmanship.

This gun technique can increase the practitioner's basic strength by 2-3 points, and can give the user a chance to trigger a temporary special skill in combat - a stunning shot: the user's strength is increased by 5-8 points the moment the gun is fired.

"Ding, the system prompts that the "Shocking God Spear Technique" has been successfully implanted in Liu Zheng's mind. With Liu Zheng's comprehension, he has only partially understood the essence of the spear technique. He needs to practice diligently in the future to fully learn it. With his current level, his basic strength will be temporarily increased by 1 point. If he can trigger a temporary special skill, his strength will only be increased by 3 points."

"Affected by this, Liu Zheng's overall military strength increased to 102 points."

Liu He did not comment on this. This was all the help he could provide. The rest depended on Liu Zheng and Zhuge Liang's own abilities.

Liu Zheng, who was still engaging in guerrilla warfare with Sun Ce, suddenly felt that there was something new in his mind, which seemed to instantly improve his martial arts, spearmanship, and the use and restraint of different weapons, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"God is really helping me. I must defeat Sun Ce today and enhance the prestige of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Zheng's fighting spirit increased and he no longer fled. Instead, he reined in his horse, turned around, faced Sun Ce, and fought him without hesitation.

Sun Ce was a little stunned at first, but soon he was overjoyed: "Great, great, I was worried that you didn't dare to fight me. Now you come here to seek death. Watch me capture you."

However, after the two fought again, Sun Ce was shocked.

"It's been less than half an hour. Why have you improved your martial arts so rapidly? Have you been hiding your abilities before?"

Liu Zheng sneered: "What's the point of asking so many questions to a dying man? Look at the gun."

Sun Ce was filled with pride when he heard this: "Well, that's perfect. Let me fight you to my heart's content and see what Liu He's eldest son is capable of."

In Nanzheng City, Zhuge Liang looked at the battle situation from afar, his face full of confidence and calm smile. Then he took out a seal and stamped it on two military orders that had been written long ago. A red seal suddenly appeared with six small characters on it - Wu Yi, the governor of Yizhou. After stamping it, Zhuge Liang rolled up the two military orders separately and handed them to a warrior beside him.

"Go."

Not long after the warrior left, a clear eagle cry was heard in the sky, followed by a huge golden eagle spreading its wings and soaring into the sky from somewhere in the city. Immediately following, another scout rode out of the city gate and ran in a different direction from the golden eagle.
