Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 573: Fighting Shangdang Again
Before Huguan, Yan Liang looked at this empty pass and couldn't help laughing wildly towards the sky.

"Hahaha, I got the news yesterday that Guan Yu led 10,000 cavalrymen to Yanmen overnight. Zhang Yong and Gao Shun followed closely behind, each leading 40,000 infantrymen to rush to the rescue. I expected Shangdang to be empty, but I didn't expect that there were not enough troops to defend Huguan. It can be said that God is helping me!"

Gao Gan, who was standing by, was a little worried. "General, don't underestimate the enemy. Liu He is always cunning. How can he abandon Huguan, which is such a strategic place? In my opinion, we should station the army outside the pass and send a team to go in first to investigate, in case of any unexpected events."

"Humph, you are really talking like rats."

Yan Liang shouted, not giving the deputy general Gao Gan any face at all, which made Gao Gan's face suddenly darken.

Yan Liang looked at Huguan and said, "Even though Liu He has great power, how could he know about the alliance between Baibo Army and Jizhou? He must think that Jizhou has been scared by him and dare not attack again, so his defenses are naturally relaxed. Moreover, his 90,000 troops are rushing to Yanmen, with flags flying and covering the sky. How could it be fake? Even if he wanted to, it is impossible for him to leave many troops to guard Shangdang. I think you have been scared by Liu He and have lost all your fighting spirit. I am ashamed to be with you."

Gao Gan was indignant, but he dared not vent his anger, so he could only say awkwardly: "I was wrong."

"Humph, you incompetent fellow, if you hadn't relied on being the nephew of the master, how could you be where you are today?"

Yan Liang did not take Gao Gan seriously at all and shouted, "All the troops, follow me and charge forward to capture Changzi City. We will kill them all and leave no one alive to avenge what happened that day!"

In Jizhou, at the gate of Yecheng, a group of soldiers hurriedly came, raising dust all over the sky.

"Who is outside the city?" asked the soldier guarding the city.

The leader shouted, "Are you blind? You don't even recognize me?"

The soldier was shocked when he saw the other person's face clearly: "It's the eldest master who has returned. I deserve to die, I deserve to die. Hurry and lower the drawbridge!"

The three of them hurriedly ran into the governor's mansion and came to Yuan Shao's study.

When Yuan Shao heard footsteps, he looked up and was startled.

"Xiansi, Gongfu, you were not in Qingzhou, why did you suddenly come back? How is the war in Qingzhou going?"

Yuan Tan said anxiously, "Father, I heard that you have sent troops to attack Bingzhou. I am worried and can't sleep at night. The army is in a stalemate, so I will temporarily hand it over to General Ju Yi to deal with it. I rushed back overnight because I have an urgent matter to report to you."

Yuan Shao was puzzled and said, "Now that the Baibo Army has captured half of Yanmen, and Liu He's army is coming to support us, it is a great opportunity for our army. Why is my son so worried?"

At this time, Ju Su, who was standing behind Yuan Tan, stood up and said, "My lord, Tian Yuanhao sent me a letter to tell me that the eldest son and I must return to Yecheng to meet you. There is something that must be discussed."

"Tian Feng?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but get angry when he heard this name.

"Humph, he always stirs up trouble in front of me and talks nonsense. Now that I have banished him to a distant place, he still has evil intentions."

Ju Su tried to persuade him: "My Lord, Yuan Hao is sincere and sincere, and heaven and earth can bear witness to this. This time, I and the eldest son agree with what he said. If we do not follow this plan, I am afraid that the army that is going to conquer Bingzhou will be completely wiped out."

"Yes, father, this matter concerns the survival of Jizhou. I hope you will think twice."

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Yuan Shao could only nod his head, although he was reluctant: "In that case, you two should tell us in detail."

Ju Su stepped forward and said, "Yuan Hao is sure that Liu He must have known about our two armies and set up an ambush. If our army..."

Suddenly, a loud drumbeat sounded from the city wall of Changzi City.

"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack..."

Teams of soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall.

Yan Liang was ecstatic: "The enemy is really defenseless. There are only so many soldiers in the city. We can break the city today. Charge!"

At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and a team of cavalry wielding huge iron hammers rushed out, followed closely by a group of infantrymen.

This army quickly rushed into the Jizhou army, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. In an instant, one soldier after another turned into corpses.

Especially the cavalry wielding iron hammers, they charged left and right and no one could stop them. With only a few hundred people, they were like a team in the midst of tens of thousands of troops in Jizhou.

"General, the enemy is very brave. If we don't eliminate this cavalry as soon as possible, our army's morale will suffer a great blow."

The senior official shouted anxiously.

Yan Liang's eyes were blazing with anger as he watched the hundreds of hammer cavalrymen continuously hammering and killing his soldiers.

"I've heard for a long time that among Liu He's sworn brothers, there is one who leads 500 hammer cavalrymen and is invincible. I think it must be him. Humph, I was defeated by Guan Yu that day. If I can kill Zhu Ye today, it will be a great relief. Don't worry about it, I will go and meet the enemy general myself."

He personally led 10,000 soldiers and surrounded Zhu Ye.

Yan Liang seemed to have regained his prestige as a famous general in Jizhou. All the Shangdang soldiers he met along the way were killed by his spear. He was extremely brave.

"Haha, cool, this feeling is the power of Yan Liang! You rats from Bingzhou, come and die!"

Zhu Ye, who was fighting in the distance, felt unhappy when he heard this arrogant shout.

"Who are you, shameless fellow, to insult my Bingzhou soldiers!" Yan Liang looked over and saw a burly general holding two hammers, staring at him fiercely. He had seen Zhu Ye in the last battle of Shangdang, so he recognized him immediately.

"You are that Liu He kid's fifth brother Zhu Ye? Humph, Guan Yu is not here, so I can use your head as a sacrifice!"

After saying that, he slapped his horse and charged towards Zhu Ye.

Zhu Ye smiled coldly: "You are such an idiot, you fell into my elder brother's trap and you don't even know it. Last time I taught you to escape, this time you can't fly away even if you have wings, watch out for me!"

The two men quickly rushed to each other, one with a hammer and the other with a gun, and they collided fiercely.

"Look at someone piercing your chest!"

"Look, I'm going to smash your dog head with this hammer!"

"System prompts, Zhu Ye and Yan Liang are fighting. Zhu Ye's basic force is 97, which is higher than Yan Liang's 96. Therefore, Yan Liang's special skill of bullying the weak is difficult to activate. With the bonus of 1 point each from weapons and armor, Yan Liang's overall force is 98 points."

"Zhu Ye's mount bonus is 1 point, the King of Soldiers and the King of Armor bonus is 4 points in total, the Bravery skill bonus is 8 points, the Golden Hammer skill bonus is 2 points, and the 2 Thundergod Cavalry soldiers under his command all have their strength increased by 112 points. Zhu Ye's current comprehensive strength is points."

Yan Liang thrust his spear straight at Zhu Ye's chest. Zhu Ye remained calm and struck out with his hammer, hitting the handle of the spear.

After a "bang..." sound, Yan Liang felt that his spear was constantly vibrating and almost slipped out of his control.

"What a great strength, not less than Guan Yu back then. How could Zhu Ye be so brave?"

After just this one encounter, Yan Liang knew that he was no match for Zhu Ye, and at this moment, Zhu Ye's other sledgehammer was already smashing towards his head.

Yan Liang was horrified and leaned back quickly. Then he heard a "click" and the wail of a warhorse. Yan Liang felt his body lowered and he and his horse fell to the ground.

He looked carefully and saw that his mount's skull had been fractured by Zhu Ye's hammer, and red and white substances were all over the ground.

"Haha, what Second Brother said is right. He is indeed vulnerable and a complete pustule."

Zhu Ye sneered, raised the hammer in his right hand high, and then smashed it down hard like a mountain falling on his head.

Even though Yan Liang was not as brave as Guan Yu and Zhu Ye, he was still one of the top generals in Jizhou. How could he just sit there and wait to die?

After a brief panic, he quickly reacted. Facing Zhu Ye's sledgehammer, he rolled on the ground, flipped to the side, and then picked up his spear.

"Wow, you're not very good at running, but you run pretty fast. Let's see how long you can run."

Zhu Ye patted his horse without saying a word and chased after him.

Yan Liang dared not continue fighting, and he retreated desperately to escape, as panic-stricken as a dog that has lost its home.

Zhu Ye was about to catch up with him, when a man not far away suddenly saw this scene and shouted, "General Yan, what are you doing..."

When Yan Liang saw the man, he felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly turned around and ran towards him.

"General Lu, I was attacked by someone and lost my horse accidentally, so I was defeated. This general is not very skilled in martial arts, so you should hold him back first. I will go back and change my horse, and then fight him."

Yan Liang didn't care whether he agreed or not and just ran past him.

When Zhu Ye saw this man blocking his way, he shouted, "Hey, who are you? How dare you block my way? Either get out of the way or be hammered to death!"

When the man heard Zhu Ye's arrogance, he couldn't help but feel angry: "I am Lu Weihuang, the general of Jizhou. Who are you? How dare you sneak up on me? You are really despicable and shameless. Take my spear!"

Lü Weihuang didn't know that the other person was Zhu Ye. When he heard Yan Liang say that he lost his horse due to a sneak attack, he thought that even if this person had launched a sneak attack, he couldn't hurt Yan Liang himself, which showed that his martial arts skills were mediocre.

He thrust the spear in his hand straight at Zhu Ye's face.

Zhu Ye only took a glance and sneered: "Hey, General Jizhou? Your moves are full of flaws. I think it's just that the tiger is away, so the monkey claims to be the king. Look at my hammer!"

"call……"

The Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hammer was swung out at a high speed, making a whistling sound.

"clang……"

"what……"

Just after the two noises, a severely bent spear flew out and a streak of blood shot up high.

Zhu Ye glanced at the man and said, "He's really useless. Hey, Yan Liang, don't leave!"
