Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 735 Catching a turtle in a urn
Just as he opened the city gate again and was about to rush out to fight with Lei Tong, he suddenly heard Zhu Ye's thunderous roar.

"Thor Knight, follow me and charge in!"

Before Ling Bao could react, Zhu Ye led 500 cavalrymen and suddenly rushed towards the city gate.

Ling Bao exclaimed: "Oh no! Quickly...close the city gate!"

He hurriedly turned around and wanted to go back to the city, but although he was running fast, hundreds of his soldiers had already run outside the city gate. How could they go back just like that?
It was only a distance of a few hundred steps, on this mountain road which was only ten feet wide. If there were thousands or even tens of thousands of troops, it would naturally take some time to rush to the city gate. However, Zhu Ye only led five hundred Thunder God Riders, and their movement was so swift, almost as fast as lightning.

Hundreds of Shu soldiers outside the city gate had just run back inside the pass. They were working together to close the city gate, but Zhu Ye had already arrived on his horse.

"Dang...dang..."

Zhu Ye's two hammers hit the half-open city gate, not only causing the gate to tremble violently, but also making a deafening sound, causing the nearby Shu army soldiers to cover their ears in pain.

"Haha, you useless bastards, I'm here, prepare to die!"

Zhu Ye led five hundred Thunder God Riders and quickly charged into the city gate. Once they rushed into the Shu army, they were like wolves into a flock of sheep. For a while, there were wailing everywhere behind the city gate.

Lei Tong could still hold on at first when fighting Zhang He, but after twenty rounds, he was already stretched to the limit and was struggling. In a blink of an eye, he was wounded in many places by Zhang He.

However, even so, Lei Tong still gritted his teeth and fought to the death.

Zhang He was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect that there is such a tough guy like you in a remote place in Yizhou. I can't bear to kill you. You should surrender."

Lei Tong shouted, "Nonsense! I, Master Lei, am fearless. I can kill people, set fires, get drunk and fight. I dare to do anything, but I dare not be a shameless person who betrays his master and forgets his gratitude. I am not like you, who forgets righteousness when he sees profit, abandons his former master Yuan Shao, and is greedy for fame and wealth. You have no shame!"

Zhang He originally had good intentions, but after being humiliated in such a way, he immediately became furious.

"You ignorant thief, you are courting death!"

He suddenly thrust the halberd in his hand forward. Although Lei Tong blocked it, his strength was not as great as his own. He was stabbed and fell off his horse. Although he was not injured, he was in great pain.

"Look at the halberd!"

Zhang He urged his horse forward and was about to stab Lei Tong in the vitals when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air.

He was an expert archer and had practiced martial arts for many years. He immediately recognized that it was the sound of an expert shooting an arrow and instinctively dodged.

At this time, a voice from the city gate shouted: "General Lei, come back quickly!"

Lei Tong turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Ren shouting at him. He knew very well that he was no match for Zhang He, so he did not dare to fight and quickly ran back.

When Zhang He was about to chase after him, Zhang Ren shot another arrow, blocking his way.

Soon, Lei Tong returned to Sanguan, and the city gates on both sides were slowly pushed and closed. Not far behind the city gate, Zhang He could still see Zhu Ye leading 500 cavalrymen fighting with the Shu army.

Zhang He immediately realized something and his face changed drastically.

"Oh no, it's another trick of Zhang Ren!"

He shouted to the army behind him: "Soldiers, don't let the enemy lock General Zhu in behind the door, follow me and charge in!"

Zhu Ye already had a very high reputation in the army, so there was no need for Zhang He to appeal to him. Many soldiers were already impatient. With high morale, under the leadership of Zhang He, they rushed towards the city gate which had not yet been completely closed.

Zhang Ren stood at the gate and looked at everything below the gate coldly. Then he waved his hand and saw a group of archers running over and shooting wave after wave of arrows at the gate.

Zhang Ren laughed loudly: "Haha, everything about you is under my control. Zhu Ye is yelling and cursing in front of the pass. Do you think I will be fooled by such a clumsy trick? He wanted to lure me out of the city, but I used a trick on him. Now I have caught him in the trap. After I kill him, I will come to take your life!"

Even though Zhang He was furious, he could not get close to the city gate. Behind the city gate, Zhu Ye led 500 Thunder God Riders, with a total of 502 hammers, flying up and down, killing countless Shu soldiers.

Zhang Ren shouted at Zhu Ye, "Zhu Ye, I am grateful for your martial arts skills, so I will give you a chance. If you can curse Liu He three times and submit to the Han emperor in Chengdu, I will spare your life and recommend you to His Majesty. Otherwise, I will pierce your heart with thousands of arrows and make sure you die without a complete corpse."

"Bah, you shameless dog thief!" Zhu Ye turned around and cursed him while killing the enemy.

"Zhu Ye has followed my elder brother for twenty years, sharing life and death. How can a villain like you understand this? I want to kill your young master Zhu, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so."

He picked up a spear on the ground with a sledgehammer and threw it at Zhang Ren with all his might.

Zhang Ren slightly turned his body and avoided the attack.

"Since you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, don't blame Zhang for being cruel and ruthless."

He waved his hand below, and the Shu army surrounding Zhu Ye quickly retreated back to the city gate. When Zhu Ye was about to chase, sharp arrows kept shooting at him, making him exhausted from dodging and naturally unable to move forward even a single step.

After a while, all the Shu troops withdrew, leaving only Zhu Ye and Lei Shenqi at the foot of the pass.

"Zhang Ren, you are so good at keeping your orders to the soldiers, and you act like the wind. Your ability to train and command soldiers is no less than that of my fourth brother. I am convinced by your defeat today. But if you want me to surrender, that is absolutely impossible. Come, let's have a good fight. I, Zhu Ye, would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

Zhang Ren said, "General Zhu is indeed full of lofty sentiments. I admire him. Just for this reason, I am willing to leave your body intact."

After he finished speaking, thousands of arrows were fired from all directions, including the city gate of Sanguan, the stone steps on both sides, and the surrounding mountains and forests.

Although the Thundergod Knight could resist for a while with his sledgehammer, he could not last long.

After three waves of arrows were shot down, some soldiers finally began to be unable to resist and were shot and fell off their horses.

"hateful!"

Zhu Ye rode the silver-armored beast under his crotch, stepped forward, and with a few hammers, he knocked away the sharp arrows that were about to hit several soldiers around him. At the same time, he ran back and forth, swinging his two hammers, not only to protect himself, but also to block the rain of arrows for his soldiers.

"General Zhu, hurry up and leave us alone..."

"If you are killed, how can we explain to His Majesty even if we survive? Please leave quickly..."

The Thor Knights were all big, strong and sturdy men, but at this moment they were all deeply moved and loudly dissuaded Zhu Ye.

"Bullshit, what did I, Zhu Ye, teach you every day? Once you enter the army, all your comrades in arms are brothers. How can you abandon your brothers when you are in danger?"

As he spoke, he attacked again and knocked away two sharp arrows that were shot at the Thundergod Knights.

And it was during this gap that Zhang Ren's eyes lit up, he clenched his teeth, endured the pain in his right arm, and shot an arrow.

"Pfft..."

The sharp arrow pierced Zhu Ye's left palm.

The golden armor protected Zhu Ye tightly from the neck to the feet, but only his hands were still exposed. The arrow pierced through Zhu Ye's palms.

"Wow..." Zhu Ye felt pain and the hammer in his left hand fell to the ground.

"Good opportunity!" Zhang Ren was overjoyed and quickly ordered his soldiers to speed up the offensive.
