Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 736: The Golden Sword Reappears
Zhang He was extremely anxious when he heard the screams coming from inside the pass.

He personally led his troops to charge forward, trying to break down the city gate and climb up the city wall. However, the terrain of the mountains on both sides of Sanguan Pass was very different. After walking a few dozen steps inside the pass, the view suddenly became clear, while the mountain road outside the pass was only more than ten feet wide. In addition, the archers trained by Zhang Ren were naturally elite soldiers. Therefore, there were only more than a hundred archers on the city gate, divided into two groups shooting back and forth, which was enough to make it difficult for Zhang He's army to approach for a while.

As soon as Zhu Ye was injured, the Thundergod Knights became more and more anxious. They all spontaneously surrounded Zhu Ye and used their bodies to block the arrows for Zhu Ye.

"What are you doing? Disperse! Staying together under a hail of arrows is a taboo in military strategy. This is what I taught you!"

But no matter how loudly Zhu Ye scolded, the soldiers remained motionless. Zhu Ye had an injured hand and was unable to push them away even if he wanted to.

"puff……"

"Pfft..."

Sharp arrows shot into the soldiers' bodies.

One by one, the soldiers fell in front of Zhu Ye.

"Ah...ah..."

Zhu Ye roared towards the sky, but at this moment, an arrow shot off the helmet on his head, his hair fell into disarray, and he looked like a madman.

"Zhang Ren... Zhang Ren... I'm going to kill you..."

He raised the sledgehammer high in his right hand, poured all his strength into it, and with boundless anger, smashed it hard towards the city gate.

"General, be careful!" Ling Bao knocked Zhang Ren to the ground. The sledgehammer flew over the heads of the two men and hit a Shu army archer behind them who was shooting at Zhang He and others outside the pass. The poor soldier didn't even understand what was going on before he was smashed to pieces.

After the sledgehammer smashed his head, it continued to fly forward and finally landed on the ground in front of the pass.

When Zhang He saw the sledgehammer, he was immediately shocked.

"This... isn't this General Zhu's sledgehammer? He even threw this out. General Zhu must be in more danger than I expected!"

He could no longer care about anything else. He looked around for a while, then ran to the side, swung his halberd, cut off a branch from a big tree, and then used the branch as a prop in front of him and rushed forward in the rain of arrows.

Zhang Ren pushed Ling Bao away, looked at the body of the archer behind him with some shock, and then looked at Zhu Ye.

"How could this guy have such divine power? The sledgehammer must have weighed at least 80 or 90 kilograms if not 100 kilograms. It would have been fine if he threw it onto the nearly 15-foot-high city wall from below, but he actually flew from one side of the city wall to the other and killed a person. Is this Zhu Ye a celestial being?"

Ling Bao also stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and kept making "Pooh" sounds, spitting out the dirt that had gotten on his mouth when Zhang Ren pushed him down.

"No matter how powerful he is, what's the word? It's a last gasp. The more powerful he is now, the more miserable his death will be in the future."

"That's right, Zhang He is already very powerful, but compared with Zhu Ye, he is simply incomparable."

Lei Tong also looked at Zhu Ye in horror.

Zhang Ren frowned and said, "It's a pity that my right arm injury has not healed yet. The previous few arrows were very difficult to shoot. Otherwise, I could have killed him with one arrow at this time. Why bother with so much trouble?"

"No matter how brave he is, a few more waves of arrow rain will wipe out his entire army. An invincible general will eventually die in our hands. Hey, just thinking about it makes me excited."

As Ling Bao was speaking, a series of low banging sounds suddenly came from the city gate.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ren asked.

A soldier hurriedly replied, "General, the enemy general Zhang He has already rushed to the city gate. The city gate was severely damaged after the attack by the enemy's fire-breathing creature a few days ago. Although it has been repaired in the past few days, it is difficult to restore it. The man brought a few soldiers with him. Although they don't have siege equipment, they are still in danger after their strong attack."

"You useless guy! You can't even guard the city gate. I, Master Lei, will do it myself." Lei Tong shouted angrily and went down the city wall with a group of soldiers.

With his personal support, the city gate, which was already somewhat shaky, was soon blocked tightly again. Even though Zhang He shouted angrily outside the gate, he could do nothing.

Some Thundergod Knights tried to break through the blockade and climb onto the city wall, or even rush to the city gate to attack from inside and outside, but would Zhang Ren let them do as they wished?

Waves of arrows, spears and shields repelled them all, and then they all died in the counterattack of the Shu army.

Seeing that Zhang He and others outside the city found it difficult to break through the city gate for a while, and that most of Zhu Ye's Thunder God Cavalry had been killed or injured, Zhang Ren and others finally felt relieved.

Suddenly, a burst of shouting and killing came from the mountain road in front of him. Zhang Ren was startled and looked far away, but the mountain road was rugged and winding, and there was no human figure at all.

"What's going on? Is Zhang Yong chasing us? That's impossible. I set up many traps along the way. These traps are completely different from the ones I set outside Wududao City before. I also blocked the mountain road with a lot of baggage and felled trees. How could he get here so quickly?"

Just when he was puzzled, Zhu Ye, who seemed a little crazy, suddenly froze in place and then laughed wildly for no apparent reason.

"Fourth brother is here, fourth brother is here, hahahaha... Zhang Ren, you will definitely die!"

Including more than a hundred injured soldiers, the morale of the remaining two hundred Thunder God Riders was instantly boosted. Regardless of being covered in blood, they suddenly shouted loudly.

"When the Thunder God appears, he will conquer the four seas!"

"When the Thunder God appears, he will conquer the four seas!"

Immediately afterwards, bursts of shouts were heard from the mountain path.

"With one blow of the golden sword, both the man and the horse will be shattered!"

"With one blow of the golden sword, both the man and the horse will be shattered!"

With the appearance of this voice, Zhu Ye and others became more and more certain that the person coming was Zhang Yong and the Golden Sword Battalion led by him, and they all fell into ecstasy.

"My fourth brother is here. Everyone, follow me and fight our way out to support him!"

Zhu Ye regained his confidence, picked up the sledgehammer that had fallen to the ground after his left hand was hit by an arrow, and led his troops to attack with thunder.

The more than a thousand Shu troops who surrounded them and blocked their advance towards Zhang Yong were frightened by this sudden formation. When they reacted, they saw Zhu Ye and others had already approached them.

"Wow..."

Not long after, at a corner in front of the mountain road, a group of soldiers holding a large banner with the word "Zhang" on it appeared in everyone's sight.

"It's indeed Zhang Yong. How could he be so fast?" Zhang Ren exclaimed in amazement.

When Zhang Yong saw Zhu Ye, he was delighted, surprised, and angry: "Old Five, how did you get hurt like this? Which bastard did this?"

He had always been gentle and was known as a Confucian general, but even though he was still more than a hundred steps away, he was already furious when he saw the blood on Zhu Ye's body, as well as the only remaining sledgehammer and the few soldiers and horses.

Zhu Ye shouted: "Damn it, I fell into the trap set by that bastard Zhang Ren. If Fourth Brother had come later, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me. This son of a bitch..."

Zhang Yong stepped forward quickly, and under the attack from both inside and outside, the thousand-plus Shu soldiers were soon killed or wounded.

Only then did Zhang Yong see Zhu Ye's situation clearly. He became so angry that his teeth chattered.

"Golden Sword Battalion, follow me and charge forward to seize Sanguan!"

There were two city walls in front and behind Sanguan. Zhu Ye and others were originally surrounded between the two walls. At this time, when the more than a thousand soldiers died, Zhang Yong broke through one of the city walls effortlessly and killed towards Zhang Ren.

Although Zhang Ren was greatly surprised and shocked, he quickly calmed down.

"Ling Bao, you must lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to stop Zhang Yong here. The mountain road here is only 30 to 40 feet wide, and it is difficult for his army to spread out. Lei Tong, you and this general must fight your way out of the pass, kill Zhang He first, and then attack Zhang Yong together."

Ling Bao and Lei Tong clapped their hands and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Ling Bao led a group of soldiers and blocked Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong's eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed his axe forward: "Kill them all!"

"With one blow of the golden sword, both the men and the horses will be crushed! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the Golden Sword Camp stood in rows according to the terrain. Their golden swords reflected a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.
