Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 747: Ambush
Gongsun Kang didn't have the courage to fight with Xu Huang. He was frightened out of his wits just by hearing Xu Huang's roar.

"Hurry... hurry and protect me..."

Teams of soldiers surrounded and stood in front of Xu Huang.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Xu Huang attacked angrily, and wherever his axe passed, all the Liaodong soldiers were beheaded and their bodies were cut off, without a single one being spared.

As a result, Gongsun Kang became more timid and fled all the way, hiding far away.

"Where to go!"

A long spear came out of nowhere. Before Gongsun Kang could even startle and was about to dodge, the spear head turned and pierced into his chest.

He looked up at Qian Zhao, then blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and he slowly fell down.

"Hmph." Qian Zhao drew out his sword, chopped off his head with one blow, and then poked it with his spear.

"Gongsun Kang is dead, why don't you surrender?"

"Zijing, well done! With you and I joining forces, there's no way this little thief will survive. Hahahaha..."

Xu Huang laughed out loud.

The news of their roar and laughter spread far and wide. The soldiers led by Gongsun Kang saw that their commander was dead. The Liaodong army, which had already been torn to pieces by the Yanmen and Zhongshan armies, now completely lost their morale.

"We are willing to surrender..."

"General, please spare my life. I surrender. I surrender..."

The remaining 10,000-odd soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Gongsun Yue was filled with admiration and surprise. He trotted over to Xu Huang and Qian Zhao and said, "You two generals are truly gods. You took the head of this little thief so easily and put an end to the war. You are indeed the great border guards that Your Majesty relies on!"

Xu Huang waved his hand and said, "Stop flattering me. Take us to Ji County immediately. Let's save Gongsun Zan first and destroy Ke Bineng first."

He and Qian Zhao did not forget their mission this time. The first priority was to kill Kebi Neng and leave Gongsun Zan to balance the power of Wuhuan and Gongsun Du.

Even if their tens of thousands of troops joined forces with Gongsun Zan, it would be impossible for them to destroy Gongsun Du and Wuhuan at once. Moreover, even if they could do it, they would not do it. Otherwise, wouldn't the imperial court be helping Gongsun Zan to become more powerful in Youzhou for nothing?

However, Gongsun Yue did not think so much. In his eyes, once these two people arrived, his Gongsun family would be saved. Otherwise, today would be the day when his entire family would be executed.

"Okay, okay, I will leave 10,000 soldiers to continue guarding the city, and then I will take you two to rescue my brother. After this is successful, my Gongsun family will reward you handsomely!"

Xu Huang said: "There is no need for a generous reward. We are all serving Your Majesty. As long as the Gongsun family can be loyal to the court in the future, that's enough."

"Of course, of course..."

Gongsun Yue apologized with a smile and gave instructions to his deputy general. Soon after, he took 3,000 personal guards and rushed to Ji County with Xu Huang.

The army had been running around for days and had just fought a battle without any rest, so they had to hurry on again.

After marching hurriedly for half a day and passing another city, everyone came to a big river.

Gongsun Yue pointed ahead and said, "Generals, after crossing this river and going another twenty miles, you will reach Ji County. General, look, the river over there is narrower, and there is a wooden bridge that can cross to the other side."

Xu Huang looked in the direction he was looking and indeed saw a wooden bridge.

Qian Zhao dismounted his horse, looked around, and then walked back.

"Gongming, I have seen many footprints of people and horses on the land nearby. It seems that they were left in the last one or two days. This shows that Gongsun Zan's army also returned to Ji County through this road yesterday."

Xu Huang nodded and said, "Now that it has been confirmed, we will speed up the march. After completing the military orders given by His Majesty, we can have a good rest."

The two were about to give the order to cross the river when they suddenly heard roars from the hillsides on both sides. "Kill..."

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw large groups of people suddenly rushing out from both sides.

Gongsun Yue was shocked when he saw this: "There is an ambush... It's over... It's all over now..."

"What are you afraid of? You useless thing." Xu Huang shouted angrily and swung his axe.

“Even if he has thousands of troops, how can we, the mighty Han army, fall into disgrace? Soldiers, follow me and kill him!”

Xu Huang and Qian Zhao led their respective troops to meet the enemy forces on both sides. Gongsun Yue was frightened and looked around. Finally, he saw that Xu Huang was braver than Qian Zhao and obviously safer, so he plunged into Xu Huang's army.

After a while of fighting, a Hu general came over wielding a machete. Qian Zhao raised his gun to block, but was hit so hard that his palms hurt.

"You are dressed like this... Are you from Wuhuan? I understand now. You Wuhuan and Kebineng set up an ambush here to wait for the troops of the Han Dynasty."

The general did not answer, but just yelled a few words and then attacked again.

Qian Zhao's martial arts skills were not outstanding, and under the fierce attack of the Wuhuan general, he was defeated step by step.

"Wow..."

The opponent slashed at him with a knife, and Qian Zhao was unable to dodge. A long cut was made on the armor on his chest, almost splitting the armor in two. Although Qian Zhao was not injured, the armor was ruined.

"This barbarian general is really brave. Kebi Neng and the King of Wuhuan have really put a lot of effort into dealing with me and Gong Ming. The enemy's forces are not weaker than ours. Our army has hardly rested since yesterday afternoon and is exhausted. How can we resist?"

Qian Zhao was extremely anxious. If things continued like this, he was afraid that he and Xu Huang would be wiped out.

His mind was distracted for a moment, and he was already at a disadvantage in the battle, and immediately revealed a flaw.

The Wuhuan general chopped at him with a sword. When Qian Huan noticed it, it was too late to defend himself. He hurriedly tried to block with his spear, but he could not withstand the opponent's strength and was directly knocked away.

"Ulala..."

The Wuhuan general seemed very excited. He turned flexibly on the horse's back and swept the opponent's opponent with his strong thighs.

Qian Zhao groaned, and was kicked away by him, falling heavily to the ground.

"Ulala..."

The general shouted, and a group of Wuhuan soldiers came running over, each holding a rope, trying to tie up Qian Zhao.

"Don't think about it."

Qian Zhao flipped over and jumped up, drew out his sword, and swept through the army, cutting the ropes in the hands of those soldiers. Then he stabbed out with his sword repeatedly, killing many Wuhuan soldiers in the blink of an eye.

"Khudusa..."

The Wuhuan general seemed very angry. He had already turned around to fight elsewhere, but now he ran back again, wielding his sword with great force, and chopped towards Qian Zhao's chest.

Qian Zhao rolled over and barely avoided the attack.

However, the barbarian general did not hesitate. He chopped out with the big knife, and then smashed it back. The heavy back of the knife hit Qian Zhao's back heavily.

"puff……"

Qian Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood and threw himself forward.

"Zi Jing!"

Xu Huang caught a glimpse of this scene, and with one axe he chopped a Xianbei general in front of him into two pieces, then he squeezed his horse hard and rushed towards Qian Zhao.
