Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 767: The City Gate Changes
Two county lieutenants stood on both sides of the city gate, directing the grain convoys to enter the city and then deliver the grain to the granary from different streets.

"Quick, come in..."

"You ten cars go this way, and the ten cars behind you go that way..."

A general came down from the tower, saluted the two men, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I wonder how many grain carts have not yet entered the city?"

When the two saw this person, they hurriedly saluted.

"It turned out to be Deputy General Ge. There are a total of 10,672 grain carts, and about 30% have entered the city gate now."

Deputy General Ge nodded slightly and glanced outside the city: "Tell the soldiers guarding the food to enter the city first. The Cao army outside the city has no ill intentions. If you set out before dawn, it will be hard work. Enter the city early and have some dry food."

The two county lieutenants naturally had no objection. They called out to the soldiers outside the city, and thousands of soldiers were divided into two columns, running slowly into the city from both sides of the grain convoy.

Just as the last soldier stepped into the city gate, the Cao camp behind him, which had been quiet for several days, suddenly started to sound drums.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

"Kill!"

Along with the deafening sound of drums, teams of soldiers and horses, with flags flying, rushed out of Cao's camp.

The drivers of the grain carts, most of which had not yet entered the city, were immediately frightened and pale. Some of them sped up and rushed towards the city gate, causing a crowd at the gate, while others were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up. In a blink of an eye, there was chaos outside the city gate.

"What's going on?" The two county lieutenants were also shocked. They pushed the drivers away and ran out of the city.

The Cao army, which had been so respectful to them just now, seemed to have changed into a completely different person. Each of them became as ferocious as wolves and tigers.

Leading the group was a military general, holding a spear and carrying a strong bow on his back. Not far behind him was a large banner with two words written on it - Xiahou!
"Xiahou Yuan!" The two of them had been under Gao Shun for many years and were promoted to county lieutenants. Naturally, they were not stupid and immediately figured out what was going on.

"Attack them halfway across the river. Let us relax our guard first, and then suddenly attack us when the grain convoy is only halfway through and the city gates are difficult to close!"

After they figured this out, they both felt extremely regretful: "It's all our fault for being too trusting of others. We should atone for our sins today."

The two men shouted to the grain-guarding soldiers who had just entered the city behind them: "Brothers, Cao's army is treacherous and shameless. Follow me to kill them and vent our anger!"

"That's right. No matter what, we have to send the grain carts into the city. We will fight them to the bitter end!"

The soldiers did not hesitate at all and prepared to charge forward.

"This general will fight the enemy with you."

The deputy general Ge also picked up his weapon without hesitation, pointed to the thousands of soldiers nearby, and followed them to kill.

Three generals and seven or eight thousand soldiers confronted Xiahou Yuan's army of thirty to forty thousand without hesitation.

Deputy General Ge picked up a civilian who had collapsed on the ground and said, "Hurry and get into the city!"

The laborer finally recovered from his shock and hurriedly pushed the grain cart towards the city gate.

Xiahou Yuan looked at the three people and smiled slightly: "A grain of rice can also shine."

He raised his hand, bent the bow, aimed at Deputy General Ge and shot an arrow.

"Deputy General Ge, be careful!"

The two county lieutenants cried out in surprise, and Deputy General Ge was also startled and hurriedly tried to resist with the long spear in his hand.

However, Xiahou Yuan had been practicing archery hard for a long time since he had witnessed Ye Xiang's amazing archery skills in Xuzhou that day, and his archery skills had improved greatly. The force of this arrow was so strong that after hitting the blade of the halberd, it directly knocked the weapon out of Deputy General Ge's hand, and then continued to move forward, shooting Deputy General Ge's right arm, penetrating the bone.

The excruciating pain caused Deputy General Ge to scream and fall off his horse.

The two men shouted and fought hard, trying to get to the rescue.

However, Xiahou Yuan was well prepared, so how could he give them a chance?

He looked at the two county lieutenants, one of whom was only a hundred steps away from him, while the other was nearly two hundred steps away. He bent his bow again and shot an arrow at the farther one.

The county lieutenant's martial arts skills are only ordinary. How could he block Xiahou Yuan's arrow?
The sharp arrow pierced directly through the chest, and the county lieutenant fell heavily off his horse and died instantly.

"Oh, you bastard, come and get yourself killed!"

The remaining man was furious, wielding his weapon and stabbing towards Xiahou Yuan.

"Hehe, you're looking for death."

He thrust his spear forward and faced the opponent. The two spears collided and Xiahou Yuan easily suppressed the opponent's weapon.

"Thief..."

The county lieutenant's eyes were bloodshot, and the look he gave Xiahou Yuan was filled with hatred.

Xiahou Yuan sneered, "You two fools, Gao Shun's fame will be ruined by you two."

He spoke these words in a lukewarm tone, but in the ears of the county lieutenant, they aroused boundless regret and pain.

"Ahhh! General Gao, I am so sorry for you. Today I will die together with this thief to repay the general and His Majesty for their kindness!"

He threw the spear away, and Xiahou Yuan stabbed forward with great force. Suddenly, there was no obstacle, and the spear tip naturally pierced into the county lieutenant's lower abdomen very easily.

"what……"

The county lieutenant shouted loudly, grabbed Xiahou Yuan's spear, then kicked his horse and continued to rush forward, causing the spear tip to penetrate directly into his back.

"You...are you crazy?"

Xiahou Yuan never expected that the other party would be so brave. He was so surprised that his hands paused.

The county lieutenant suddenly drew the sword from his waist and slashed at Xiahou Yuan fiercely.

Xiahou Yuan finally woke up, and had no choice but to let go of the spear that had already pierced deeply into the opponent's abdomen, and quickly drew his sword to block.

However, he was a step too slow after all. By the time he drew his sword, the opponent's blade was only a few inches away from his neck.

Xiahou Yuan held the sword upside down, and the blade collided with the opponent's. In the end, he was unable to use his full strength in a hurry, and the sword tip was forced back in an instant. The county lieutenant's sword blade immediately cut the skin on his neck, and a little blood seeped out.

"go to hell!"

At this moment, the county lieutenant pressed all his strength towards Xiahou Yuan, his expression extremely ferocious, like a demon who was seeking revenge. Even though Xiahou Yuan had fought for many years and killed countless people, he couldn't help but shudder all over.

Xiahou Yuan tried his best, but he watched the opponent's sword cut his skin little by little. He was horrified, but he did not panic.

He raised his foot and kicked the shaft of his own spear, causing it to tremble violently. The county lieutenant felt excruciating pain in his stomach and his hands immediately lost strength.

Xiahou Yuan took the opportunity to push him away, then swung his sword. After a flash of cold light, the opponent's head fell down.

He didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face, and shouted to a messenger behind him: "Blow the horn!"
