Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 524 Battle of Huguan
Zhang Liao fought with Yan Liang for thirty rounds and gradually lost the upper hand.

Yan Liang laughed wildly and said, "Are all the subordinates of Liu He, the little thief, incompetent people like you who only care about their words? I will kill all of you today, and I will chop off Liu He's head with my own hands someday, hahahaha!"

He smiled grimly, and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger.

Under the influence of the "Liaoning the Weak" skill, the more advantage Yan Liang has, the more proud he becomes, and the more fierce his offensive becomes.

"Yan Liang, how dare you..."

Zhang Liao was already at a weak position, and now he was angered by Yan Liang's words, and his defense was exposed.

Yan Liang was overjoyed and knocked Zhang Liao's black and yellow sickle away with one spear.

"How dare you, a jerk!"

Just as he was about to stab Zhang Liao in the chest, a loud shout suddenly came.

Just as Yan Liang's spear was about to pierce Zhang Liao, suddenly a green light flashed, and there was a "clang" sound. Yan Liang then felt a huge force blocking his spear.

"Wenyuan, step back. Let Guan kill this ignorant fellow!"

The person who came was Guan Yu. Seeing him suddenly appear, Yan Liang was surprised and delighted.

"You've come at the right time. I, Yan Liang, will definitely take on this great feat!"

"You are such a traitor, you are so arrogant."

Guan Yu changed to holding the sword with both hands. After blocking Yan Liang's spear with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, he turned it behind him. After the blade circled around his side, he chopped towards Yan Liang with great force.

"System prompt, Guan Yu has activated his special skill - dragging the sword, and his force has increased by 6 points."

"Guan Yu triggers his special skill - Sword King, increasing his force by 4 points."

"Guan Yu's basic force is 98 points, the King of Soldiers and the King of Armor each increase by 2 points, and his mount Red Smoke and Shadow increases by 1 point, 113 points in total."

"Since Guan Yu's basic strength is higher than Yan Liang's, Yan Liang's special skill of bullying the weak is invalid, and his overall strength is reduced to 96 points."

"Ha! During the few months in Yanmen and Shangdang, my second brother's basic military strength increased by another point, 1 points versus Yan Liang's 113 points. Poor Yan Liang is afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of history again."

Liu He felt emotional.

When Yan Liang saw the Qinglong Sword coming at him with such force and murderous intent, his face changed.

He did not dare to be careless and used all his strength to block the spear to his side.

"The shaft of my spear is not made of wood, but of fine iron. I don't believe he can break it."

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade chopped down with a tremendous force, and the two weapons collided with a loud thundering sound.

Everyone saw a figure flying high up and then falling heavily to the ground.

"puff……"

Yan Liang spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Guan Yu in horror.

The spear shaft was indeed not cut off, but he never expected that Guan Yu had such extraordinary power that he could knock him out with one blow.

"General Guan is mighty!"

"General Guan is so brave!"

Qian Ning and the others were extremely delighted and started shouting, greatly boosting the morale of the Purple Gold Dragon Knights.

Guan Yu's eyes were wide open, and he looked murderous.

"Death to the man!"

A cold light flashed on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and it slashed straight at Yan Liang's face.

"Whoosh..."

A light sound was heard. Guan Yu had practiced using stones to identify positions with Liu He since he was a child, so such a sound naturally could not escape his ears. He instinctively put away the Qinglong Sword, and then saw a sharp arrow shot on the blade of the Qinglong Sword.

"Who are you, you bastard, to dare to shoot a cold arrow? Come out and fight to the death with Guan."

However, no one responded to him. He only heard a shout of "Release", followed by thousands of arrows being fired.

Guan Yu repeatedly waved the Qinglong Sword to block the arrows, while controlling the Red Smoke and Shadow to retreat continuously.

At this moment, a figure quickly rushed out from inside the pass and came to Yan Liang's side in a blink of an eye.

"General Yan, get on your horse!"

He reached out and grabbed Yan Liang, pulled him onto the horse's back, and quickly retreated back to Huguan.

Qian Ning and others gathered around.

"General, it was Zhang He, the vanguard general of Jizhou. He attacked with a bow and arrow to attract your attention, and then rescued Yan Liang."

Zhang Liao sighed, "I've heard of the four generals of Jizhou for a long time. Yan Liang and Wen Chou are famous for their bravery, Gao Lan is good at commanding troops, and Zhang He is honest, brave and resourceful, especially in archery, he is the best among the three armies. Now Yan Liang and Gao Lan are both defeated. Wen Chou is as famous as Yan Liang and was his lackey, so I'm afraid he is no better than that. Only Zhang He saved Yan Liang just now, which shows that his reputation is well-deserved. We should be careful."

Guan Yu glanced at the city gate and snorted, "What Zhang He, you are just an incompetent rat. Your archery skills are not as good as Yuan Qing's, and even compared with Zilong, Chong Ling and other generals, why should I be afraid of you seeking fame? How can a small Huguan stop me? Although Yan Liang is not dead, he is seriously injured and unconscious. Zhang He is not worth Guan Yu's attention. Attack the city immediately. We will celebrate our success in Huguan at the dinner tonight!"

"General Guan, you can't do that."

Qin Chu stepped forward to stop him.

"Boqing, why are you stopping me?"

Qin Chu clasped his fists and said, "General Guan, have you forgotten the advice of Mr. Meng and Mr. Shi? The danger of Huguan Pass is no less than that of Yanmen Pass. One man guarding the pass is impossible for ten thousand men to break through. Although our cavalry is brave, they are not good at attacking cities. Therefore, we can only lure the enemy into battle, not attack by force. If we attack by force, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Guan Yu was a little impatient: "Now is a God-given opportunity. Yan Liang is seriously injured and the enemy is terrified. If we don't fight now, when will we fight? If we delay for too long, once the reinforcements from Jizhou arrive, the battle will definitely become more stalemate. This time, I brought so many siege equipment specifically to capture this pass in one fell swoop. Generals, listen to my orders!"

"The general is here!"

"Dismount the cavalry and attack the city immediately!"

"General Guan..."

Qin Chu wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Zhou Yuan. He leaned close to Qin Chu's ear and whispered, "Don't persuade me, my dear. This time Yuan Shao colluded with the big families and breached the Yellow River. General Guan was very angry and couldn't sleep all night. I don't know how many times he said he would chop off Yuan Shao's head. Even in his dreams, he didn't forget to attack Jizhou. Now he is furious. Unless the lord comes in person, no one can persuade him."

"But if we forcefully attack the city, many soldiers will surely be killed or injured. Chu really cannot bear it. We are the generals under General Guan, so we should do our best to persuade him."

Qin Chu looked determined.

Zhou Yuan sighed and said, "Boqing, you have an even more stubborn temper than General Guan. How could you forget that General Guan cares for his soldiers much more than you and I do? If you insist on persuading him now, it will not only be useless, but will also only make the general angry. After the siege, if the battle is really not going well, he will naturally understand and order a retreat. When he calms down, the two military advisors can make plans and achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Qin Chu slapped his head when he heard this, and suddenly realized it.

"Xuanwei is indeed thoughtful. In this case, you and I should take the lead."

"That's what it means."

The two men each held a weapon and carried a ladder, and rushed up first. Seeing this, Zhang Liao and others were not willing to be left behind, so they took the ladders and climbed up the city gate like them, while Guan Yu personally led his troops to break down the city gate.

The morale of the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry was already high, and now with several generals charging in the front, the army was greatly encouraged.

Zhang He was on the top of the city gate. Seeing the enemy army attacking, he was not worried but happy.

"You are here for the best. I am not afraid of you attacking the city, I am afraid of you not attacking the city."

He took the longbow again and shouted, "Archers, get ready, shoot them to death for me! Anyone who shoots and kills a Bingzhou soldier will be rewarded 100 coins, anyone who shoots and kills a general will be rewarded 1,000 coins, and anyone who shoots and kills Guan Yu will be rewarded 100,000 coins!"

The Jizhou army was defeated by Guan Yu twice in a row, and Yan Liang almost died. The soldiers had already lost their morale, but Zhang He had just saved Yan Liang with an arrow, and his prestige was very high in everyone's heart. Now that he spoke, as the saying goes, "There will always be brave men under great rewards", the soldiers boosted their morale.

The thousand archers brought by Zhang He all stood at the front of the city gate, aiming their arrows at the enemy troops climbing the ladders below.
