Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 584 Zhu Ye is ambushed
However, Wen Chou looked at the forest opposite and saw that the green flag that should have been waving to represent the order to attack was actually a white flag waving.

"Hmm? Is something wrong?"

Wen Chou lowered his head and thought for a while, and was about to report to Yuan Xi, but at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and people's shouts were heard.

He looked over instinctively and saw a general who was obviously more muscular than himself, rushing over with a team of cavalry.

"This... could this be Zhu Ye?"

Even as he was murmuring, he suddenly heard a burst of extremely excited shouts in his ears.

"Everyone, get started!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Chou's face immediately changed: "Oops!"

He quickly looked towards the forest opposite again, and sure enough, the white flag was still waving there.

"Second Young Master, I'm wrong, I'm wrong..."

However, it was too late. Thousands of arrows and hundreds of rolling logs flew out from the mountains and forests.

Zhu Ye had sharp ears and sharp eyes, and he had vaguely heard Yuan Xi's loud voice shouting "take action". He quickly reined in his horse and waved his hand to signal all the Thunder God Riders behind him to stop.

At this moment, arrows and rolling logs appeared and attacked them.

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

At Zhu Ye's command, hundreds of Thunder God Riders quickly turned their horses around and retreated, while using the sledgehammers in their hands to block the flying arrows.

Ju Shou saw this and cursed: "What a shame! Who dared to ruin my plan? This is clearly just a small group of Zhu Ye's troops. The main force is still in the rear, but he easily launched an ambush. He deserves to be killed!"

A soldier came running over: "Report to the military advisor, it was the Second Young Master who gave the order."

"This..." Ju Su was speechless for a moment and looked across angrily.

"Second Young Master, you are really blinded by the good news! I have long expected that this will happen when the eldest young master is injured. There is no other way. All the troops listen to my order and charge out together!"

"Kill..."

All ten thousand soldiers equipped with melee weapons and rushed out of the forest.

Zhu Ye's expression turned stern: "Humph, it's just an ambush, why should I be afraid? Kill them all!"

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

The Thunder God Cavalry soldiers were filled with anger, and only a few hundred of them charged towards tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Yuan Xi was a little stunned: "Eh? Why did the public servant attack directly?"

Wen Chou complained, "Alas, this is just Zhu Ye's vanguard, not the main force of Bingzhou's army at all. The military advisor waved a white flag just now. Second Young Master, you...ah..."

"What? This..." Yuan Xi was speechless for a moment.

Yuan Shang sneered: "Humph, second brother is too impatient. He has ruined my Jizhou affairs."

When Yuan Xi heard his taunting, his face darkened immediately: "Humph, so what? Kill Zhu Ye first, then deal with Cheng Liang and Ye Xiang, it's the same. General Wen, it's time to avenge General Yan, kill them!"

Even though Wen Chou looked down on the second young master, he couldn't help feeling excited now that the chance for revenge was right in front of him.

"I will obey your orders!"

He raised his spear, mounted his horse, and charged out at the head of the troops. Facing the 20,000-man army, Zhu Ye looked grim, and after killing several enemy soldiers with his hammer, he raised his two hammers high.

"Triple Goose Formation!"

Upon hearing this, hundreds of Thundergod Knights quickly gathered together from their scattered state.

The Thundergod Knights were divided into three layers, front and back. Each layer was like wild geese, forming a "human" shape. There was a distance of ten feet between every two soldiers, and two feet between the front and back. The three rows were staggered.

At the top of this "人" character, Zhu Ye charged forward, with five or six soldiers on each side of him.

He personally led the formation, like a small fish, swimming upstream in the river, and rushed towards the 20,000 enemy troops.

Except for a very small number of Jizhou soldiers who faced Zhu Ye and the Thunder God Cavalry on both sides of him head-on, many others rushed behind them and fought with the first layer of Thunder God Cavalry. At the same time, some soldiers ran to the second and third layers through the gap of about ten feet between them. After killing layer by layer, the number of Jizhou soldiers became fewer and fewer as time went by.

The Thunder God Cavalry slowly advanced forward, leaving behind only the corpses of many Jizhou soldiers wherever they went.

"Oh, second brother, you fought this battle very well." Yuan Shang took the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark.

Yuan Xi glared at him and roared, "Come on, Master! You are overwhelmed by just a few hundred enemy soldiers. What use are you?"

The offensive of Jizhou’s troops suddenly increased significantly.

Zhu Ye remained unmoved and shouted, "Change formation!"

Immediately afterwards, the Thundergod Riders in the first row fought and retreated, while those in the two rows behind them pushed forward.

Ju Shou, who stayed on the mountain to command, changed his expression. "This formation can weaken our army's momentum layer by layer. The first row of soldiers is the most dangerous to kill the enemy, and the further back, the easier it is. Therefore, we keep changing back and forth, which can not only save physical strength, but also firmly occupy this narrow mountain road. The Bingzhou troops are indeed extraordinary. Zhu Ye, who is famous for his bravery, can have such insight. If it weren't for Yuan Hao's plan to concentrate the army in Shangdang, I'm afraid today would be the day when my eldest son and I die. But..."

He twirled his beard and said, "Although this formation has an advantage in terrain, it takes only a few hundred people to defeat our 20,000. It was Zhu Ye who personally occupied the center of the formation. With his invincible bravery, he blocked our army's strongest charge. Otherwise, the soldiers behind him alone, even if they were one against ten, would not be able to hold out for long."

He turned to a soldier beside him and said, "Go and tell the Second Young Master to give the order and have General Wen lead a group of troops to attack Zhu Ye alone. Don't worry about others. As long as Zhu Ye's formation is broken, or even if he is just forced to retreat, the enemy formation will be in chaos. Remember, tell General Wen not to underestimate the enemy and to bring his 3,000 elite guards with him. Otherwise, he will be no match for Zhu Ye. Go quickly."

Soon, Wen Chou received the order and was so excited that he was ready to fight.

"Okay, I'm going to meet this thief, guards, listen to my orders, follow me to kill the enemy general!"

Wen Chou held a spear in his hand, clamped his legs on his horse, and rushed towards Zhu Ye angrily with his three thousand well-equipped guards behind him.

"Zhu Ye, you little thief, you killed my brother, now you deserve my death!"

A long spear flashing with cold light came straight towards Zhu Ye.

When Zhu Ye saw the angle and speed of the other party's spear, he secretly said, "He has some skills."

He raised his hand and swung a hammer to deflect the spear. Before Wen Chou could react, another hammer came like a shadow. Wen Chou quickly leaned back and barely dodged it.

"System prompts, Zhu Ye is fighting against Wen Chou, Zhu Ye's basic force is 98, the King of Soldiers, the King of Armor, and the mount have a total increase of 5 points, the special skill 'Brave Force' is triggered, increasing by 8 points, the special skill 'Golden Hammer' is triggered, increasing by 2 points, the special skill 'Thunder' is triggered, increasing by 3 points, and the current comprehensive force is 116 points."

"Wen Chou's basic military strength is 97 points. His weapons, armor, and mounts are increased by 3 points in total, triggering the special skill 'Strong-based' - when his basic military strength reaches 95 points, his combat strength will be increased by an additional 2 points. After that, for every additional point of basic military strength, his military strength will be increased by an additional 1 point, and the upper limit will be increased by 1 points. Wen Chou's military strength is increased by 3 points, and his current comprehensive military strength is 4 points."

"Sure enough!" When Liu He heard the prompt sound, his first reaction was to slap his thigh hard.

"Sure enough, Gongda predicted it right. Tian Feng and Ju Shou had a backup plan. The troops that were originally attacking Taiyuan County were all transferred to serve as reinforcements for Yuan Tan's 50,000 troops. If Gongda hadn't reminded me, I would still be in the dark. My second brother and his men were waiting in Taiyuan County. With only 10,000 or 20,000 troops of my third brother, how could they survive against the 80,000 or 90,000 Jizhou troops? And judging from the data, at least in terms of martial arts, whether it is basic martial arts or special skills, Wen Chou is better than Yan Liang. Oh, right..."

Liu He ordered the system: "Hurry up and check the attributes of Wen Chou and Ju Shou."

Now, on the front line of the Shangdang War, the two people who really deserve his attention are one civil and one military. If they are properly matched, the army of 80,000 to 90,000 will be enough to pose a great threat to Bingzhou.
