Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1150 The outcome is unpredictable
In just a short moment, the three commanders of both sides were all injured.

On the surface, it seemed that Liu Zheng took advantage of the situation as he was injured, while the opponents, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, were injured instead.

However, Zhou Yu's injury did not affect his command in the short term.

Sun Ce's injuries did not damage his internal organs because the stab wound was not deep enough. To put it bluntly, they were just serious skin injuries.

On the contrary, Liu Zheng had a broken left arm and had to rely on his right arm alone to wield a spear, so his martial arts skills were greatly reduced.

Sun Ce roared, tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it tightly around the wound on his abdomen. Zhou Yu also drew his sword and ordered the messenger soldier beside him to cut off the arrow that pierced his shoulder.

Then, the two men gritted their teeth and continued to fight.

"Your Highness, please step back immediately. We will protect you!"

Yan Xun and several other generals quickly moved to Liu Zheng's side to temporarily hold off the attacks of Sun Ce and Zhou Tai for him.

Fortunately, although Sun Ce gritted his teeth and persevered, the waist is the foundation of human strength. Now that his waist and abdomen are injured, every time he exerts force, the wound is pulled and the pain is unbearable. He can only exert four or five points out of ten points.

After fighting for only a few dozen rounds, Sun Ce's blood had dyed the back of his horse red, so that even if he joined forces with Zhou Tai, he would not be able to defeat these unknown soldiers on the opposite side in a short period of time.

Zhou Yu didn't know whether it was because of the severe pain or the excessive bleeding, but his face turned pale and his lips were bloodless. However, his eyes were fixed on the battle situation in front of him. There was murderous intent and overwhelming hatred in his eyes.

He and his lord had joined forces, but they were forced into this situation by Liu Zheng and Zhuge Liang. If they could not capture Liu Zheng alive, they would be laughed at by the world in the future. How could they capture Luoyang and rule the world if they could not even defeat Liu He's teenage son?

Although Yan Xun and his men had a large number of people, they were ultimately no match for Sun Ce and Zhou Tai. Soon after, they were constantly retreating. After advancing a certain distance with great difficulty, they were pushed back by the Jiangdong troops in a short while.

Although Yan Xun wanted to shoot Zhou Yu again, he was too far away from him. He had abandoned his bow and arrow and was using a spear instead, as he was fighting with two generals, Sun and Zhou, so it was difficult for him to escape.

Sun Ce was furious, and while gritting his teeth and fighting, he growled, "Kill these men quickly, and don't let Liu Zheng escape."

“Don’t even think about hurting His Highness.” Yan Xun stretched out his spear to stop Sun Ce. Sun Ce shouted angrily, and regardless of his bursting wound, he stabbed out with his spear, knocking the weapon out of Yan Xun’s hand.

"Go away!"

Sun Ce swept Yan Xun off his horse with his Overlord Spear. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, he lost consciousness.

Several generals nearby wanted to rescue Yanxun, but they were exposed and Zhou Tai killed one of them and knocked another off his horse.

After breaking through the defenses of these people, Sun Ce and Zhou Tai led the soldiers behind them and advanced forward at a high speed like a hot knife through butter.

Seeing them getting closer and closer to Liu Zheng, Zhou Yu was filled with excitement watching from behind.

"After months of planning and hard work, today we will finally succeed!"

As long as Liu Zheng is captured, the Han army will be cautious and the chances of conquering the entire Hanzhong will increase. With such a great victory, the nobles and powerful people in Jingzhou and Yangzhou will feel at ease to contribute money and manpower to continue to support the great cause of the Sun family.

Sun Ce and Zhou Tai gradually approached Liu Zheng. Seeing that there was no way to avoid them, Liu Zheng simply tore off a piece of cloth, tied his broken left arm to his body, then turned around and killed them with the gun in one hand.

"Hehe, you're just in time. Today I will avenge Gongjin."

Sun Ce also tightened the bandage on his abdomen again and thrust out with his spear.

"Protect His Highness!"

Several generals quickly surrounded him and guarded Liu Zheng.

"Get out of my way and stop blocking my master's way."

Zhou Tai roared like thunder and rushed forward wildly. In just a few moves, he knocked two of them off their horses.

"You bastard, you dare to hurt my soldiers, take my bullet!"

Liu Zheng roared, and stabbed Zhou Tai in the face with his spear like a dragon.

Zhou Tai blocked the spear, but Sun Ce's Overlord Spear popped out from behind him. Liu Zheng was caught off guard and was nearly stabbed in the shoulder. In his hasty dodging, he lost balance and almost fell off his horse.

Just as he was trying to stabilize his body, Zhou Tai and Sun Ce, one on the left and one on the right, were approaching him. Liu Zheng hurriedly used his spear to block, but how could he resist two fierce generals alone? As expected, the Liuguang Hanyu Spear flew out of his hand, flew high, and after spinning several times in the air, landed on the side of the mountain road.

"Come here." Sun Ce waved his hand and was about to grab Liu Zheng.

"call out……"

Sun Ce became alert instinctively and gave up the idea of ​​catching Liu Zheng. He tightly gripped the Overlord Spear and shot it in the direction where the sound came from.

However, after looking around, he did not find anything unusual. Instead, Zhou Tai beside him pointed at the top of the cliff in front and shouted.

"My lord, look over the cliff!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce hurriedly looked towards the top of the cliff behind the Han army.

At this moment, a group of soldiers in Han army armor appeared on the top of the cliff where the archers led by Zhou Yu were ambushing. One of them was holding a bow and arrow and pointing it downwards. It was obvious that the arrow just now came from this man.

Sun Ce was furious and was about to scold him, but the other party spoke first.

"The Jiangdong rats actually blocked the road with rocks, forcing us to go around the other side to the top of the cliff, which took us nearly two more hours. It's really hateful and annoying."

When Sun Ce saw that the other party was the first to argue, he immediately laughed out of anger.

"Well, you really have some skills. The slope on the southwest side of this cliff is gentle, while the slope on the north side is steep. It took us an hour and a half to climb to the top and ambush from the southwest side, but it only took you two hours to walk to the north side. I guess only soldiers from Sichuan and Shu can be so good at climbing, right? It's a pity... Humph, your archery skills are really poor."

The other general laughed and said, "As expected of you, you are the Little Overlord of Jiangdong. You really have some knowledge. That day, you used old Huang Zhong to ambush General Wenyuan and me, making it difficult for us to achieve success. General Wenyuan's thigh is still injured and it is difficult for him to move. Now you have insulted my archery skills. Let's take revenge today for both the new and old grudges."

Sun Ce was startled, then he thought of something: "Are you Meng Da?"

"Haha, General, you have a good memory. Yes, it is Meng. Don't run away. Wait for our army to come down the mountain and fight it out."

After saying that, Meng Da turned around and left, leading the soldiers behind him and leaving the top of the cliff. He was obviously preparing to follow the route Zhou Yu had taken when he led his troops down the mountain, and go around to the rear of the Jiangdong army to attack them from both sides.

Seeing this, Liu Zheng raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, reinforcements are coming, follow me and fight!"

The morale of the Han army soldiers was greatly boosted, but on the contrary, the Jiangdong soldiers were in a desperate situation. The battle situation had not been smooth to begin with, and although they had the upper hand temporarily, their lord and General Gongjin were both injured. Even if they could win, it would only be a miserable victory in the end, not to mention that the enemy had reinforcements arriving.

Zhou Tai watched as the soldiers around him lost their will to fight and were quickly suppressed and defeated by the enemy again. He became extremely anxious.

"My lord, what should we do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger behind him shouted, "My lord, General Zhou has sent an order, and it seems... he wants to retreat."

Sun Ce frowned and ordered Zhou Tai, "Hold the position first."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards Zhou Yu. However, this turn again pulled the wound on his abdomen, but he couldn't care less about that at this moment.

"Gongjin..." Sun Ce came to Zhou Yu and asked anxiously, "Why do you want to retreat now? If we retreat now, our army will lose its morale. If the enemy and reinforcements join forces and chase us, we will be doomed."

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly. "But after Meng Da came down the mountain, he attacked us from both sides. It is still difficult for our army to resist. We should retreat first. I have ordered people to go to Xicheng to get reinforcements. I think they are on their way. Our army should retreat first, and after we meet up with the reinforcements from Xicheng, we can turn around and fight back. Only then will we have a chance of winning."

Sun Ce frowned and thought for a moment: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore morale..."

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have made up my mind. Gongjin will withdraw first. Youping and I will stay here to hold back the enemy. You can lead the reinforcements from Xicheng to rescue us later."

Gongjin was shocked: "How can this be possible..."

Sun Ce waved his hand to interrupt him: "No need to say more. If the whole army retreats now, it will be difficult to save the morale of the army. It is better to fight a desperate battle here, maybe we can capture Liu Zheng alive before Meng Da comes down the mountain. Even if we can't, we can delay the enemy army, frighten them and make them lose their composure. Then when your reinforcements arrive, our army will have a chance of winning."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Yu to refute, he called dozens of soldiers and said, "You escort General Gongjin to the west city and don't make any mistakes. If Gongjin is injured, you will bring his head to me."

After giving the order, Sun Ce turned around and returned to the battle.
