Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 315: Murderous Intent

Several mighty generals in the lead, each with hatred on their faces, looked at the entrance of a valley several miles away.

A long-bearded, red-faced general wearing dark green armor and holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade said to a golden-armored general beside him, "Brother, a barbarian dog killed my fifth brother. This hatred is irreconcilable! Please give the order and let me lead the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry to charge in. If you let a barbarian dog go, I will be willing to be punished by military law!"

This person is Guan Yu.

His eyes were bloodshot, his drooping eyebrows were standing up, and his hands were clasped together, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.

Not only him, but also Zhang Yong next to him, who was always known for his calmness, was also filled with hatred at this moment. He didn't care about any strategy and followed Guan Yu to ask Liu He for help.

"Brother, please give the order!"

"My lord, give the order. We are willing to fight to the death to avenge General Zhu!"

All the generals requested for orders.

However, Liu He frowned, and although he also looked hateful, he did not give any orders.

Guan Yu said anxiously: "Brother!"

However, they didn't know that Liu He was thinking differently from them.

Liu He had received a secret message from the Flying Eagle Guards, and learned that Zhu Ye was not dead. At this time, he had been brought back by the Flying Eagle Guards and Lin Xin, and Liu He secretly entrusted a group of military doctors to take care of him in the rear of the army.

He deliberately did not spread this news among the army.

Zhu Ye had always been popular in the army. The news of his death in battle caused an uproar in the Anmin Army. The soldiers were all furious and wanted to avenge him.

Liu He wanted to use this desire for revenge to fight a life-and-death battle with the Xianbei and the Huns. Otherwise, he had less than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Even if he had strong combat effectiveness, sophisticated equipment, and a capable commander, it would be extremely dangerous to fight against 170,000 Xianbei and Hun cavalry.

Since they wanted to take advantage of this hatred, they naturally had to exaggerate it to the maximum. If Guan Yu were to attack at this time, not only would the 20,000 Purple Gold Dragon Riders be in danger, but the anger that had just been generated would also be vented, which would also be detrimental to morale.

Seeing that Guan Yu kept urging Liu He to give orders, Cui Jun came out to comfort him.

"General Guan, our army has less than 50,000 soldiers, and the Purple Gold Dragon Riders have only 20,000 soldiers. According to the intelligence sent back by the Flying Eagle Guards and General Zhu, the Xianbei-Xiongnu coalition has reached 170,000 soldiers. Although there were many casualties after General Zhu and General Cheng attacked our camp, compared to the 170,000 soldiers, it is just a drop in the ocean. This battle is dangerous, General, please don't rush. The lord has already lost a brother, don't let the lord be the one mourning the dead again."

Guan Yu listened to the first half of his words and glared at Cui Jun, seeming to be quite disapproving. However, after Cui Jun finished his last sentence, his brows gradually relaxed, and then there was some regret on his face.

"Brother, I know I was wrong..."

Liu He grabbed Guan Yu's hand and sighed.

"Alas, how can I not understand Yunchang's feelings? The five of us brothers swore to live and die together. If my fifth brother dies, my grief will be no less than yours. But we are outnumbered, so we must not be reckless in this battle."

Guan Yu did not notice the word "if" in Liu He's "if my fifth brother dies", but after listening to his words, he stopped urging the army to advance and stood aside.

Just then, two eagle calls were heard from the sky.

Liu He's expression changed, he looked up suddenly, and then immediately gave an order.

"Gao Shun!"

"The general is here!"

"You lead your 8,000 Han Wu soldiers to surround the valley from 500 steps outside the valley entrance on both sides, leaving only a corner facing our army!"

"Here!"

Gao Shun didn't ask any extra questions or say anything. He took the command arrow and rushed out with 8,000 Han soldiers.

"Ye Xiang!"

"I am here!" "You lead the 10,000 Shenji Battalion of our army, just like the Han Wu soldiers, to guard only two sides and attack in coordination with the Han Wu soldiers. If any of the Hu people escape from these two sides, you will be subject to military law!"

"The last general takes command!"

All the soldiers had their eyes bulging with anger, hoping to kill more Hu people, firstly to avenge their hatred and secondly to establish merit. Everyone knew that if they won this battle, there would be no more large-scale battles on the northern border of Bingzhou. Without battles, how could the soldiers establish merit?

So everyone wanted to seize this opportunity, not to mention that these Hu people actually dared to kill General Zhu Ye. To the soldiers, this was like killing their loved ones. How could they tolerate such deep hatred?

After receiving the order from the general, the 18,000 soldiers of the Han Wuzu and the Shenjiying set out in a menacing manner, while the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers stared at Liu He eagerly.

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu saw that Gao Shun and Ye Xiang both had tasks, while he was left aside, and he couldn't help but become anxious again.

Liu He looked at Guan Yu, then at the 20,000 purple-gold dragon riders behind him. He was very pleased to see that they were all staring at him without exception, waiting for his orders.

"Okay, Yunchang, listen to my orders!"

As soon as the word "令" was spoken, Guan Yu immediately shouted, "I am here!"

"I order you to lead the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry to the gap left by the Han Wuzu and the Shenji Camp. After the enemy escapes through the gap, you only need to make a feint attack. There is no need to fight to the death. Let them go. You must wait until most of the enemy have fled to this grassland. Only then can you really attack and surround Generals Gao and Ye. You must annihilate their rear as quickly as possible!"

Guan Yu was overjoyed and clasped his fists, saying, "I will obey your orders!"

Liu He looked at Zhang Yong again.

"Golden Sword Battalion obeys your orders!"

Zhang Yong was shocked and rode his horse out.

"The general is here!"

"The Golden Sword Battalion will head-on block the incoming enemy forces and dampen their morale!"

"Here!"

Just as Zhang Yong was about to turn around and leave, he was caught by Liu He again.

"Fourth brother, your Golden Sword Camp is the most dangerous this time. With only 8,000 men against over 100,000, we don't seek to kill the enemy, but only to scare them. You can make your own decision on how to do it, but please be careful. You have always been the calmest among us brothers, so don't be impulsive!"

Zhang Yong's expression was moved, and he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I have my own ideas!"

After saying this, he left with eight thousand soldiers from the Golden Sword Battalion.

Liu He shook his right hand and pulled out the Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan that was stuck on the ground. He got off his horse and mounted the Black King beside him.

Cui Jun hurriedly advised, "My lord, do you want to fight in person again? You must not do that. This battle will be different from the past. It will be extremely dangerous and the outcome is unpredictable. My lord is responsible for a heavy task and must not take risks in person!"

Liu He laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Military Advisor, you worry too much! It is precisely because this battle is so dangerous that I should fight side by side with the soldiers. Moreover, my fifth brother's blood feud must be avenged. That Hu dog slave wants to take my head, but I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to do so!"

Cui Jun wanted to persuade him again, but Liu He ignored him and patted the Black King. Then the black tiger roared, jumped up suddenly, and ran out wildly.

Cui Jun looked ahead, his eyes jumped, and then he became determined.

"After today's battle, the might of my lord and the Anmin Army will be praised by the world and recorded in history. Although I, Cui Jun, am a civil official, how can I fall behind others!"

He drew out the Cangming sword with a "clang" sound, slapped his horse, and shot away like an arrow.

In the distance, the Yellow River roared and rushed. It seemed that the mother river of China was also watching the upcoming battle and cheering for her children...
