Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153 Fierce battle at the top of the city

Although more than a thousand soldiers defending the city were still able to persist in fighting and never retreat, many of them were sweating profusely, and a few soldiers even had trembling hands holding their weapons. Although they had advantages in physique and ordnance and temporarily managed to maintain the defense line, dozens of soldiers defending the city still suffered casualties.

"Oh my god, are they wild beasts? How come they are not afraid of death or pain?"

"It's terrible. There are so many of them. How can we fight this battle?"

"They are simply devils. The man I just killed kept charging forward even after I stabbed him in the chest. Even though my spear pierced through his back, he still rushed over to chop me. If it weren't for the armor on my body, I'm afraid I would be dead by now. It's so scary!"

"Yes, yes, that's how my good friend Tietou died under their knives. I don't want to die!"

"What nonsense! We are all made of flesh and blood. They are not as strong as us. Even their clothes are tattered, not to mention armor. What is there to be afraid of? They are fierce, but are we sick? You are a bunch of pussies, bringing shame to our Anmin Army!"

Some soldiers of the Security Army with strong fighting will began to roar at their comrades who were cowardly.

Liu He kept swinging the Yangming Poni Zhan in his hand, but he heard the quarreling sounds and his heart sank.

"I didn't expect that I was too protective of them in the past, which exposed their flaws and frustrated them. How can we defend the city with such low morale?"

Liu He recalled that although he was usually strictly trained, every time when he really fought, he would always try his best to protect the soldiers behind him. It was often when he and his brothers killed several leaders of the enemy, big and small, and the enemy had no will to fight, that he let the Anmin Army behind him rush forward.

I didn’t think there was a problem in the past, and even when Cui Jun brought up this matter with me before, I didn’t take it seriously. But now I realize that I was really wrong.

"Second brother, you better hurry over here!"

Liu He was extremely anxious.

When he just received the news in the county government, he had already sent people to inform Guan Yu and others to bring troops from Huangshui Township to support and attack from both sides. He originally thought that it should be an easy battle, but he did not expect that the Yellow Turban Army was so brave and fearless, and the fighting power was far beyond his imagination, so that the county fell into such a dangerous situation.

"I was too arrogant and underestimated the heroes of the world. If the Yellow Turban Army was really that weak, how could they have forced the Eastern Han Dynasty to the point of being unable to breathe at the beginning of the uprising?"

Liu He felt extremely remorseful, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much. He kept killing the enemy with his hands, while hoping that Guan Yu, Zhu Ye and Ye Xiang could lead their troops to help as soon as possible.

Seeing that the number of Yellow Turban soldiers on the city walls was increasing and had already reached several hundred, Wu Lu, who was still under the city, was very proud and he let out a long roar towards the sky.

"Hahaha, you common folks from Langtiao County, clean your necks and get ready to be chopped off by me!"

The Yellow Turban Army became more and more excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Liu He chopped down an enemy soldier in front of him with a knife, then turned around and shouted to the Anmin Army behind him.

"Soldiers! It takes a thousand days to train an army, but only one day to use it. You are strong and well-equipped, so why not startle yourself without a fight? Being lazy and retreating now, allowing the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity, isn't that a way to die? When a brave man meets a brave man on a narrow road, he wins. It is better to charge forward bravely, so that you have a chance of survival. Follow me!"

Liu He twisted his hands, drew out a long sword from the Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan in his hand, swung both hands, and rushed directly into a group of dozens of enemy soldiers.

Seeing this, Cheng Liang and Zhang Yong also shouted loudly and rushed into the enemy group respectively.

"System prompts, the host fights side by side with Cheng Liang and Zhang Yong, triggering the 'Golden Orchid' combination stunt, and the force is increased by 2 points respectively. The other three people all get 4 points of bonus from the King of Soldiers and the King of Armor. The host's force is increased to 97, Cheng Liang 94, and Zhang Yong 92."

"System prompts, the host has triggered the special skill 'Strange Soldier', and his military strength has increased by 5 points. The current military strength is 102. Zhang Yong has triggered the special skill 'Ghost Axe', and his military strength has increased by 3 points. Because the battle axe is not suitable for the enemy, his military strength has increased by another point. The current military strength is 1." The three of them used their special skills to the fullest, relying on the power of their magic weapons, without any scruples, and almost only attacked and did not defend.

There are also passionate people in the Anmin Army, especially some local militiamen who joined the army early. They have been with Liu He and others for many years and have fought side by side many times. When they saw the three generals rushing to the front without caring about their own safety, they were all moved and ashamed.

"Brothers! How do the county magistrate and the generals treat us on a daily basis? You and I are where we are today, all thanks to your grace. They are charging in the front, even the military advisor, a mere scholar, is charging in front of us, but you and I are just lagging behind, this is intolerable!"

"That's right. Besides, our families are all behind us. How can we retreat now? Today's bloody battle means only death. We must not let these bloodthirsty and brutal bandits set foot into the city!"

I don't know who was the first to shout: "The Anmin Army is fearless!"

The atmosphere spread quickly and everyone shouted in unison.

"The Anmin Army is fearless!"

"The Anmin Army is fearless!"

The Anmin Army regained its morale and reversed the situation in one fell swoop, and the war situation was immediately under control.

"Military Advisor, please command the soldiers to form a battle array according to the terrain on the city wall and minimize casualties!"

Liu He turned and shouted to Cui Jun.

“This…” Cui Jun looked at Liu He, who was covered in blood, and knew that Liu He made such arrangements not only for the superficial meaning he said, but also to distance himself from the bloody battle at the forefront and to take care of himself, the “military advisor” with slightly lower martial arts skills.

However, he knew that Liu He's arrangement was not wrong in the overall situation. What he was good at was not martial arts, but battle formations and planning. Only by retreating into the army could he play a greater role. He would not have suffered multiple minor injuries after just a short fight.

"Okay, my lord, be careful!"

Cui Jun chopped down two enemy soldiers beside him and retreated five or six steps.

"All soldiers, listen up! Those holding halberds should be in front, those holding spears and lances should be in the back, standing in a staggered position, and those holding swords and sabers should support from the side. Form groups of five to eight and fight in formation!"

Although Cui Jun had learned many battle formations, there were only a few that he could claim to be familiar with. In addition, he had not been in the Anmin Army for a long time, so the battle formations he had practiced were even fewer. Fortunately, he had anticipated that there would be a battle to defend the city, so he specially selected this battle formation that only a few people could form, which was suitable for use in narrow places like the city wall.

The morale of the group was high now, and they soon formed into groups of five or eight and fought in coordinated battle formations. As expected, the effect was immediate, and for a moment there were even signs that they were regaining the upper hand.

Wu Lu, who was standing below the city, was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"I'm so angry. I've heard that Lang Diao County has a strong military presence, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with! Humph, does that guy who sneaked into the city really need to use his trick to succeed? It's really annoying that such a great achievement is being snatched away by him!"

Wu Lu was unwilling and very anxious, and started shouting at the city wall.

"It is not too late for you to surrender now. Your stubborn resistance will only delay the time. Sooner or later, the city will fall and you will be living a life worse than death!"

"Who is so presumptuous? Ask Guan's Qinglong Sword whether it agrees or not!"

A roar came from a distance, and at this moment it sounded like the sound of nature!
