Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 501 Three Generals Enter the Palace
Everyone looked at his smile and understood what he meant.

When they thought that many of them were guards and retainers carefully selected by the ministers themselves and had served them loyally for many years, and now they were about to be abandoned so casually, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

However, no matter how cold it was, they were still a noble family after all. It was rare that they could feel a little sympathy for these servants. They would not have any other thoughts at all, let alone do anything for their lives.

The addition of these two thousand people really caused the war situation to take a sharp turn for the worse.

No matter how powerful the Imperial Guards were, without the leadership of a strong general, they would not be able to withstand the attack from both inside and outside of the enemy force that was more than ten times their size.

The number of imperial guards in Yongmen quickly dropped from 480 to 90 people to less than 300 people, and then to only about 200 people.

Although the rebels on both sides paid a heavy price and more than a thousand rebel bodies were left on the ground, it seemed that Yongmen could no longer be defended.

As the saying goes, "Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone." Before these royal guards had time to despair, another group of rebel troops arrived from the south.

Wei Ji looked around and was overjoyed.

"Great! It looks like Guangyang Gate has been captured. With the reinforcements coming from there, Yong Gate will definitely be captured in less than a quarter of an hour!"

A minister next to him suddenly frowned.

"Lord Wei, something is wrong. Logically speaking, the Xia Gate and Gu Gate of the North Gate are both small gates, backed by the back garden, and have weak defenses. How come they haven't been captured yet?"

Wei Ji, however, did not care: "Outside the north gate is Mangshan Mountain, which is narrow and uneven and cannot accommodate many soldiers. It is understandable that the battle is not going well for a while. However, there are 5,000 soldiers going to attack, and then the soldiers who attacked from the east gate will be divided into 1,500, so it should be fine. We attacked unexpectedly this time, and Liu He and the Imperial Guards were completely unprepared. Even if they reacted quickly, how could they have extra troops to come to reinforce so quickly? As long as we can keep fighting, our army will win without a doubt."

After he said this, the ministers behind him all agreed with him and their brows relaxed.

However, at this moment, a voice that resounded through the sky suddenly rang out.

"Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here. Anyone who causes trouble in the palace will be killed without mercy!"

Before Wei Ji and others could react, two voices came at the same time.

"Nanyang Deng Ziyang is here, why don't you just give up!"

"You bully the eldest brother of the Liu family, you deserve to be beaten and killed!"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ji and his group saw from afar three figures suddenly turning out from the north corner of the palace, and behind them, teams of cavalry quickly rushed out.

"What! Cavalry? Where did Liu He get the cavalry? Could it be that Guan Yu is back?"

Wei Ji and others were horrified. The appearance of this army was already a surprise to them, and the direction from which they appeared made these ministers feel a bad premonition.

"Beimen, Beimen and Shangyang, it's all over!"

Deng Yuan looked at the situation ahead, then turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Brother Zilong, since returning from the expedition against Zuo Xian Wang, the lord has secretly entrusted this cavalry unit that has been trained for a long time to you and me. What a huge trust this is. I was just worried that I would not have the opportunity to repay the lord, but I did not expect that I would be able to use my skills so soon. We must show our skills this time."

He was so excited that he could hardly control himself, and Zhao Yun had a trace of worry between his brows.

"The Lord only allowed you and me to temporarily command the army, but never really appointed us. Moreover, this time, the palace and the city were in chaos. Along the way, we heard the rebels shouting that the Lord had been stabbed to death. You and I only received a pigeon message in the General's Mansion, so we hurriedly brought the 500 cavalrymen in the mansion to rescue the palace. We must not take it lightly. If the Lord really fails, it will be a horrible disaster."

"Hey, Zilong, you are worrying too much."

Deng Yuan said, "What kind of man is our lord? How could these rubbish succeed in assassinating him? I think this is a trick by the rebels to disrupt the morale of our army, Da Meng, am I right?"

After hearing this, Da Meng nodded suddenly.

“Big brother of the Liu family, even Da Meng can’t beat him, he will definitely not die.”

Zhao Yun didn't say anything more to them. In fact, he didn't believe that Liu He would die so easily.

Over a hundred steps away, Wei Ji and his group clearly saw Zhao Yun and his two companions as well as the five hundred cavalrymen behind them. Instead, they no longer looked as panicked as they were at first.

"So they are just ordinary cavalry, not Guan Yu's heavy cavalry at all. There are only a few hundred of them, so why should I be afraid?"

He shouted to the soldiers who had come to reinforce from Guangyang Gate: "You, go and stop these enemy troops."

When the soldiers saw that the other side was cavalry, they hesitated for a moment.

Wei Ji was furious when he saw this: "Your wives and children are still under my control, how dare you disobey my orders? Go quickly! Anyone who disobeys my orders will be killed without mercy. If you succeed, not only will I release your family, but I will also reward you handsomely."

After he shouted like that, the soldiers finally mustered up their courage and rushed forward.

Wei Ji smiled comfortably: "With these more than a thousand people, we can resist for a while. It won't take long. After Yongmen is captured, these cavalry will die as well."

Deng Yuan looked at the rebels rushing towards him and felt inexplicably excited.

"Brother Zilong, I'm going to go harvest for a while!"

He was about to rush out but Zhao Yun stopped him.

"Ziyang, don't worry. Have you forgotten the characteristics of this cavalry unit that the Lord gave you?"

After he said this, Deng Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Yun looked at the rebels getting closer and closer in front of him, and suddenly raised his left hand and clenched his fist.

The five hundred cavalrymen behind him almost simultaneously hooked their feet tightly on the stirrups on both sides, steadied their bodies, freed their hands, took the longbow with one hand, and put the arrow on the bowstring with the other hand. The more than one thousand rebels who rushed over turned pale when they saw this scene.

“They can ride and shoot!”

"Oh my god, this kind of riding and archery skills are so difficult to master, why does Liu He have so many of them? Are they all surrendered Hu people?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Run!
More than a thousand people, so-called soldiers, but in fact they only rely on numbers, how can they have much morale and military discipline? As soon as they see the situation is unfavorable, they turn around and run away.

"Don't run away, come back and fight for me!"

Wei Ji shouted at the top of his lungs, his neck turning red, but he was unable to stop the trend of disintegration.

However, the deserters did not get what they wanted.

No matter how fast they run, how can they be faster than a bow and arrow?

Zhao Yun's left hand, which was raised high, suddenly opened into a fist and swung his palm forward.

Immediately afterwards, five hundred arrows shot up into the sky, and in less than two breaths, all fell on the heads of the fleeing rebels.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

The sound of arrows piercing people's bodies rang out frequently, and each sound irritated the rebels' nerves.

"The enemy is already defeated, follow me!"

Zhao Yun raised his shining silver spear, and the white horse under his crotch galloped out instantly.

"Zilong, wait for me."

Deng Yuan was unwilling to fall behind, so he hurried to catch up.

"Ow..."

Da Meng slapped the tiger, leaped forward, and caught up with the two men.

The three led five hundred cavalrymen and quickly charged into the rebel army.

When the royal guards guarding the gate saw this, their morale was immediately boosted.

"Brothers, the general is indeed not dead, otherwise where would the reinforcements come from? Everyone, work harder and kill all these rebels!"

The battle was extremely dangerous just now, and the outcome was almost certain to be a defeat, with the palace gate about to be lost at any time. However, with the joining of Zhao Yun and the other two, the situation was reversed.

Wei Ji and others were shocked and angry, but they really couldn't think of any good ideas.

"Lord Wei, this...what should we do?"

Some ministers looked terrified and kept backing away.

Wei Ji glared at them fiercely and said, "Useless things! At this point, it seems that we can no longer occupy the North Gate. Retreat quickly and leave from the South Gate to meet up with Mr. Chen at the city gate."

His proposal was exactly what those ministers were thinking of. Before Wei Ji could finish his words, they turned around and ran towards the South Gate.

Wei Ji looked at them indignantly: "What a useless fellow!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a sharp arrow flew over his head, taking his Jinxian crown with it and nailing it to the wall of the palace behind him.

"what……"

Wei Ji was so frightened that he immediately squatted down with his head in his hands.

Deng Yuan in the distance threw away his longbow with an unhappy look on his face.

"Hey, your archery skills are not as good as Zilong's. I need to practice more later."

Zhao Yun shouted from the side: "Zi Yang, don't pay attention to those traitors. The military advisor has his own arrangements. Kill the enemy first!"

Deng Yuan nodded and swung his spear again.

Wei Ji looked up cautiously and found that he seemed to be safe for the time being. He stood up quickly, forgetting even to give the order to retreat, and ran directly to the south gate.

When they ran away, the rebel soldiers were confused.

"What's going on? Why did they run away on their own? What should we do?"

"Yeah, do we continue to fight, or run with them?"

Everyone was completely confused.

"Hey, why are you still fighting? Can you beat them? These cavalrymen are more powerful than the imperial guards, and those three generals are even more powerful than ordinary people. I'm not going to do this anymore, let's run!"

"That's right, those adults have abandoned us and run away. Why should we fight? Let's run for our lives!"
