Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 480: Great Victory
"Quick, stop them!"

The Xianbei general exclaimed in amazement.

Group after group of Xianbei soldiers surrounded and blocked the gap, trying to force Zhang Liao back.

"Get out of my way!"

Zhang Liao shouted loudly, picked up a smaller chevaux de frise with his sickle, and threw it out.

This smash created a gap in the Xianbei soldiers who were blocking the front. Before the surrounding soldiers could fill the gap, Zhang Liao's sickle came over first.

"Puff puff……"

The black and yellow hook sickle attacked repeatedly, and in a flash, it cut off the heads of three enemy soldiers.

"General Zhang has cleared a bloody path for us. Let's charge out!"

Three thousand heavy cavalry shouted in unison, and rushed out from the gap in team after team.

The two Xianbei generals were extremely anxious and had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead their troops to charge forward personally.

"Han will die!"

The two generals, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded and killed Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao showed no fear at all, and his 97% martial arts strength was fully demonstrated at this time.

The Xianbei generals became less and less confident as the fight went on. After such a hard battle, the Han general's bravery was even greater than when he killed the first general. This made the two men a little scared.

The three men fought for dozens of rounds, during which time nearly half of the 3,000 heavy cavalry had escaped. These more than a thousand cavalry were like a dragon returning to the sea, venting all the anger they had suffered before. Their momentum was so strong that they could kill any god that stood in their way.

Such a group of well-trained heavy cavalry with strong fighting will faced a group of frightened and poorly equipped Xianbei soldiers. It was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre.

Waves of screams rang out one after another, and batch after batch of Xianbei soldiers fell in a pool of blood, making the two Xianbei generals as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Han people, don't go too far!"

Zhang Liao glanced at them.

"Humph, you shameless fellow, you entered my Han territory and killed my Han people, and now you accuse me of bullying people too much. Even if I want to bully you, what will you do? Look at the knife."

The hook-scythe suddenly changed its angle, from chopping to stabbing. The general was caught off guard and was stabbed directly in the ribs.

"Get up!"

Zhang Liao poured all his strength into his arms, lifted up the barbarian general, and threw him away.

"you you you……"

The other general had lost all his fighting spirit at this time. He made a feint and ran away.

"Where to run!"

Zhang Liao chased after him relentlessly. After all, his horse was stronger and soon caught up with him.

The hook-scythe flashed a cold light, and the Xianbei general turned around to block it, but the hook-scythe suddenly shook, and then a flash of blood exploded, an arm flew high, and the Xianbei general cried out in pain and fell off his horse.

“Ah…ah, my hand…”

Zhang Liao put his sickle against his neck.

"Tell me quickly, where is your leader Kebi Neng?"

"I...I don't know..."

"How dare you speak so harshly!"

Zhang Liao exerted a little force and the sickle cut the skin on his neck.

"I really... I really don't know... After returning from your Han people's... Youzhou that day, the leader... just... separated from us. He asked us to come here to continue grazing and recuperating. He said he had something to do, and then... he led the army away alone... I really don't know, please spare my life..."

Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this.

"I didn't expect that I had made such a wasted trip. Ke Bineng is not here. Damn it!"

Zhang Liao looked at the barbarian general who was begging for mercy with tears and snot, and felt disgusted. With a flash of his sickle, he cut off his head.

Outside the city of Pingcheng County, there is a military camp.

At this moment, the sounds of soldiers training could be heard in the camp.

"What's going on with Wenyuan? It's already the ninth day, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Guan Yu looked at the 17,000 soldiers and horses training in front of him, only Zhang Liao's 3,000 men were missing, and he could not help but frowning.

Qian Ning comforted him, "General, don't worry. General Zhang is an extraordinary martial artist. Although he is a little young and arrogant, this whole Bingzhou is under the jurisdiction of the lord, so nothing will happen."

"I don't think so."

Qin Chu walked over.

"It's just a short distance, even if we march normally, we should have arrived today. Moreover, since this is a competition, we should march at full speed. Even General Guan's 8,000 troops arrived at Pingcheng County long ago. Wenyuan has always been competitive and will never be willing to fall behind. I guess he has already arrived."

"Hmm? If he had arrived long ago, why is there no sign of him?"

Guan Yu looked a little unhappy.

Qin Chu said: "I am afraid that he is..."

Guan Yu looked at him, who was about to speak but hesitated, and said, "Tell me, what about being afraid of him?"

"I am afraid that he has already led his troops to attack the grassland alone in order to win merit..."

"Hmm? He dares to disobey my orders?"

Guan Yu said this, but judging from his expression, he believed this guess to a point.

"Someone, call the quartermaster."

Soon, the quartermaster came to Guan Yu. "Who was the first person to come and receive the armor and food?"

The quartermaster did not dare to hide anything and answered honestly: "General Guan, five days ago, General Zhang Liao had already arrived at Yinguan City, received all the military supplies, and rushed north."

"Hiss...it's really like that..."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and stood up.

"He arrived five days ago. It takes another day to get from Yinguan City to Pingcheng County, which means he had already sent troops into the grassland four days ago. This is simply nonsense. With only 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can he fight against Ke Bi's army of tens of thousands? Even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory. My Purple Gold Dragon Riders are just horses, and their lives are more valuable than those Hu people. If we suffer huge losses, how can I explain to you, brother?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he finally picked up the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

"Quickly organize the army and send troops to the grassland. We must find Zhang Liao for me!"

"General Guan, you can't do that. This is still a matter of speculation for us. We don't know whether he has actually attacked the grassland. If we go there rashly, what if there is a misunderstanding and we miss the chance to attack Kebi Neng and the King of Wuhuan? Wouldn't the lord blame us?"

"nonsense!"

Guan Yu scolded Qin Chu for saying this.

"I have more than 20,000 Purple Gold Dragon Riders, all of whom are our brothers. Zhang Liao disobeyed my orders and will be punished when he returns. But now he must be surrounded or lost and unable to return. How can we abandon him? Is this still the way of brotherhood? Assemble the troops immediately!"

Qin Chu did not dare to refute any more, and hurried down to reorganize the army and prepare to go to war.

"Report... General Zhang Liao is back..."

"Wenyuan is back?" Guan Yu, who was about to go back to prepare for battle, suddenly turned his head with a look of joy.

The group quickly rushed out of the military camp and saw Zhang Liao and a group of soldiers who had dismounted from their horses and were standing outside the camp.

"Wenyuan!"

Guan Yu walked over and saw that although they were exhausted, they did not look injured, so he felt relieved.

Zhang Liao and his three thousand cavalrymen suddenly knelt down.

"I took the initiative to attack the grassland for a decisive battle. Please punish me, General Guan!"

"Did you really lead the troops to look for Kebinen? Did you find him?"

Guan Yu did not mention a word about punishment, but instead asked about the results of the battle.

Zhang Liao looked ashamed and said, "I am incompetent. In the early morning of today, I found a large Xianbei camp and fought with them. I wiped out about 10,000 of them and captured more than 60,000 Xianbei civilians, but there was no trace of Kebi Neng. I heard that after invading Shanggu County that day, he parted ways with several of his generals and now I don't know where he is. I violated military orders and attacked without authorization, and I failed to capture Kebi Neng. Please punish me, General!"

Guan Yu was about to speak when Qian Ning suddenly came over and tried to persuade him.

"General Guan, although Wenyuan disobeyed the general's order, he finally defeated 10,000 troops of Kebineng's tribe in one battle, and brought more than 60,000 people from his tribe back to Han territory, which was a great blow to his power. This is a great contribution. I think it is enough to offset his crime of disobeying military orders. Please think twice."

"Yes, I agree with Zijing. Please forgive Wenyuan, General Guan."

"Yes, please forgive Wenyuan."

Qin Chu, Zhou Yuan and Yan Quan also pleaded for mercy.

Guan Yu ignored them, but looked at the soldiers behind him and asked, "Are there any casualties among my soldiers?"

"Reporting to General Guan, of our 3,000 cavalry, 872 were injured, but fortunately no one was sacrificed."

"Oh? No casualties?" Even Guan Yu was surprised this time.

He personally walked to the army behind Zhang Liao. Even though the 3,000 men were kneeling, they were lined up neatly. Guan Yu simply counted them horizontally and vertically and figured out the number of people.

"It is indeed three thousand people. All of them have returned, and no one was lost."

Guan Yu's words made Qian Ning and others look at Zhang Liao in shock, with admiration rising in their hearts.

"System prompts, Zhang Liao led 1 people to launch a raid on the camp, and succeeded without any casualties. This triggers the reward conditions, and the command and military strength are increased by 73 point each. Currently, Zhang Liao's basic command is 93, and basic military strength is ."

Liu He breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the system prompt and continued to gallop on the official road from Taiyuan County to Shangdang County.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, I am here to meet you in person today. If you are a loyal minister, I will help you rise to prominence. If you are a treacherous person, I will also have ways to use you."

He was heading towards Shangdang at full speed, while in Pingcheng, many generals were shocked beyond words by Zhang Liao's battle record.

Guan Yu walked over quickly and helped Zhang Liao up.

"Wenyuan defeated a large force with a small force and annihilated 10,000 enemies without any loss himself. This record is unparalleled in the world. Even if I, Guan, led the troops myself, I might not be able to do so. Good, good! Our Han Dynasty has gained another great general! This general will write a letter to my brother to request credit for you!"

Zhang Liao felt a little embarrassed and was about to decline when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

"Report... General Guan, Jizhou's troops raided Yanmen and have arrived at Lucheng."

"What? How dare Yuan Shao, a mere bastard, do that? How many troops have they brought?"

Guan Yu was furious, his eyebrows stood up and his eyes were shining with brilliance.

"Reporting to General Guan, a total of 25,000 soldiers and horses have arrived from Jizhou."

"Twenty-five thousand people? There are only three thousand defenders in Lucheng."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly advised Guan Yu: "General Guan, it is absolutely impossible to defend against such a fierce attack with the troops in Lucheng. Once Lucheng is lost, the three nearby cities of Fanzhi, Gangxian, and Juyang will also be lost overnight. At that time, the Jizhou army will march westward and directly attack Yinguan City and Yanmen Pass."

Guan Yu stabbed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade hard into the ground.

"What a villain! He obviously knew that our army was going to go north to fight Ke Bineng, and wanted to take advantage of the situation. However, he never expected that Wen Yuan would be able to defeat Ke Bineng's army so quickly and return to Pingcheng County. Humph, assemble the whole army. I will bury all his Jizhou troops in Yanmen today with my 20,000 purple-gold dragon riders!"

"Here!"

Everyone turned back to the barracks, ready to gather the troops, but suddenly they heard someone's voice behind them.

"General Guan, wait a minute!"

When Guan Yu heard someone trying to stop him, he was about to get angry, but when he turned around, he was surprised and happy.

"Oh? Why are you two gentlemen here?"
