Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234: Halfway Stranger
Zhang Yan and others ran all the way and unknowingly arrived at a valley.

"General... they... they don't seem to be... not chasing us..."

Someone said to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan was no longer in a position to listen to this. He had been careless when he saw that the black wall-like army did not pursue him. As a result, he encountered the golden sword army that was ready to take his life.

He didn't even turn his head. Even though he was exhausted both physically and mentally and out of breath, he didn't dare to stop, but chose to continue running forward.

Finally, after running for a long distance, he found that no one was chasing him. The surroundings of the valley seemed very quiet, and not even a bird flew up.

"It seems...it seems that Liu He really...really didn't chase after us?"

"Yes... yes, General, we are really safe... safe... huh... huh..."

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, took out the water bag from his arms, and drank several mouthfuls in a row.

"Huh... Damn it, this damn Liu He actually dared to humiliate me like this. He has caused me to suffer heavy losses this time, and he will definitely repay me one day!"

Although he couldn't understand why Liu He let him go, it didn't affect the overwhelming hatred in his heart.

But no matter how much he hated it, he was much more clear-headed than Zhang Niu Jiao. He knew that he was definitely no match for Liu He now. The combat effectiveness of his two strange troops was so terrifying that he could not defeat them even if he had twice as many troops.

"Hmph, wait for me to lie low for a while, recruit soldiers and horses, and one day I will avenge myself for today's humiliation!"

He thought hatefully in his heart.

When the Montenegrin soldiers saw that they had finally escaped, they all sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

It seemed like a long time had passed. Zhang Yan was just about to get up and continue on his journey. As soon as he stood up, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

"Oh no... wrong decision. I was so busy running for my life that I suddenly sat down after running such a long distance. No wonder my whole body aches... How can I continue on my journey now?"

For some reason, Zhang Yan had a bad feeling in his heart.

But the soldiers around him obviously didn't care about that.

"Oh, if you can't walk anymore, then don't go on. General, let's just rest here and continue on our journey after we recover our strength."

"No! I still feel like something is wrong."

Zhang Yan looked around vigilantly.

"Tell everyone to get up, even if it's just a little bit, we must hurry up and move forward..."

Before he could finish his words, shouts and screams suddenly rang out from the cliffs on both sides.

"Kill!"

Zhang Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap again! Run!"

When the Black Mountain soldiers heard the shouts and screams, they were so scared that they pissed themselves and quickly stood up and prepared to continue fleeing.

However, now their legs felt as if they were filled with lead and they could not even stand. Just when they tried to run a few steps, many of them fell to the ground.

In just a short while, a group of soldiers emerged from the cliffs on both sides, holding powerful bows and crossbows in their hands.

"It's over, archers, it's archers!"

Zhang Yan finally understood it this time.

"They deliberately left a gap to lure us into this valley, and then used bows and arrows to annihilate us from the high cliffs on both sides!"

Zhang Yan's scream was heard by Ye Xiang on the cliff.

"General Chu is really amazing. He guessed my master's plan so quickly. But it's too late! Shoot the arrow!"

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired. A group of soldiers bent their bows and shot arrows. When they were putting the second arrow on, another group of soldiers took out their powerful crossbows loaded with short arrows and shot down.

The ten-shot crossbow, combined with the powerful bow, shot tens of thousands of arrows into the valley below in just a few breaths. Even though it was dark at night and impossible to aim, it did not affect its terrible lethality at all.

For a moment, the valley was filled with wailing, causing hundreds of birds to fly away and hundreds of beasts to run wild!
Zhang Yan dodged left and right, and with the help of surrounding branches and vines, he finally blocked the first wave of arrows. However, before he could catch his breath, the second round of arrows appeared above his head, which made him turn pale on the spot!
"Hurry, run forward! Run!" He dropped everything and didn't care how many of his men were killed. He ran forward alone and the pain in his legs seemed to have eased a lot.

Ye Xiang led the Shenji Camp and fired eight rounds. The Black Mountain soldiers below were either killed or fled. Then they put away their bows and crossbows and, like Liu He and his men, did not pursue them.

Zhang Yan fled out of the valley with the remaining 10,000 soldiers and came to a relatively flat grassland.

At this time, even he, the general known as "Chu Feiyan", had finally run out of strength. He sat down on the ground, leaning against a huge rock, and he no longer had the strength to stand up.

The Black Mountain soldiers behind him were pale and sweating profusely.

"General... this... this time should... be completely over..."

A soldier next to Zhang Yan asked in a very uncertain tone.

Zhang Yan was not very sure either, but he knew that his answer was related to everyone's morale. No matter how uncertain he was, he had to give a positive answer.

"Don't worry... Liu He's relatively powerful generals have all appeared, and there will definitely be no more..."

After he said this, the soldier who asked the question suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, another soldier suddenly screamed, scaring everyone.

Zhang Yan was also very dissatisfied: "What are you yelling about!"

The man looked horrified and trembled as he said, "No... that's not right! There is another... someone who hasn't... appeared before! The red-faced general with the big knife!"

When he said this, everyone remembered.

Everyone who had participated in the battle when Zhang Niujiao attacked Yinguan City was deeply impressed by Guan Yu's bravery and power. In addition, his appearance was very easy to remember. When everyone thought about it carefully, they realized that he and his powerful cavalry team had indeed not appeared in these battles!
After being reminded by him, Zhang Yan's mind suddenly became much clearer. He looked around suddenly and then shouted.

"Not good! This piece of flat land is the most advantageous terrain for cavalry to charge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice responding to him.

"Yes! Guan is here!"

Along with this roar, there was also the sound of galloping horses.

To Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Army's soldiers, these two voices sounded like death-threatening screams.

"Ah! Here comes the red-faced general, along with his cavalry. We are doomed! We are doomed!"

"I don't want to die. I just robbed a woman..."

The Black Mountain Army had lost all morale, and even Zhang Yan himself was frightened and stunned.

Guan Yu didn't care about their situation. He slapped his horse and led the five thousand purple gold dragon riders behind him, and pounced towards the Black Mountain Army like a pack of wolves.

The fighting capacity of the Black Mountain Army was already far inferior to that of the Anmin Army, not to mention that they were now low in morale and exhausted. How could they possibly be a match for Guan Yu and his cavalry, who were as fierce as tigers and wolves?
The cavalry charged into the Black Mountain Army and it was a one-sided massacre!
Zhang Liao spotted Zhang Yan in the crowd and shouted to Guan Yu, "General Guan, I have found Chu Feiyan. I will bring his head to you right away!"

This sickle was also specially made for him by Liu He at the order of three blacksmiths. It was named "Xuanhuang Scythe". Although the warhorse was not a divine horse, it was also a rare good horse.

Coupled with his current military strength of 83 points, he was like a fish in water in the Black Mountain Army, and soon rushed to Zhang Yan.

"Haha, old man, you dare to offend the majesty of my General Liu, you will die!"

Zhang Liao swung his sickle and chopped at Zhang Yan's head.

Zhang Yan had already exhausted his strength, and even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn't do it now.

"Heaven wants to destroy me, God wants to destroy me!"

Just as Zhang Liao's sickle was about to chop off Zhang Yan's head, suddenly a stone seemed to fly over and hit the sickle directly from the side, causing the blade to change direction instantly and saving Zhang Yan's life.

Zhang Liao was just about to ask who had ruined his plans when he felt a sharp blade slashing towards him.

"Master!"

The first thing that came to Zhang Liao's mind was these two words. Even though he was young, he was not someone who could be easily bullied. He shook his right hand, and the black and yellow sickle bounced up, colliding with the blade that was coming over, splashing sparks.
