Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 775 Changes in the situation
"System prompt: Gao Shun vs. Xiahou Yuan. Gao Shun's basic strength is 90, and his King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and Warhorse have increased by 5 points in total. There is no special skill bonus, and his overall strength is 95 points."

"Xiahou Yuan's basic force is 94, his weapons, armor, and warhorse are increased by 3 points in total, no special skill bonus, and his overall force is 97 points."

The two spears flew back and forth, up and down, in a fierce fight. After more than ten rounds, although Xiahou Yuan had the upper hand, he was still unable to hurt Gao Shun.

Gao Shun was slightly relieved: "Although Xiahou Yuan's spearmanship is not as good as Generals Zilong and Mengqi, it is almost the same as Deng Yuan and Deng Ziyang, and even better than me. If His Majesty had not specially ordered three blacksmith masters to forge this magic spear for me before this expedition, I am afraid I would not be able to withstand his twenty rounds and would be defeated."

Xiahou Yuan was extremely surprised. "Gao Shun has always been a master of military tactics. I have never heard of his martial arts skills. I never thought he could fight me to this extent. The spear in his hand is also extraordinary. The spear head is shining silver, reflecting the sunlight, which is eye-catching. What kind of metal is it made of to be so dazzling?"

Although it was almost the end of the afternoon and the sun was approaching the peak of the western mountain, its light was still so bright that it was reflected by the tip of the spear, causing Xiahou Yuan to feel dizzy. He had finally gained an advantage, but before he could take advantage of the situation to knock Gao Shun off his horse, the opportunity was lost because of the light.

After this happened several times, Xiahou Yuan became upset.

However, on Gao Shun's side, once his several thousand personal guards joined the battle, the advantage that had originally favored Cao's army was quickly reversed.

One reason was the strong combat effectiveness of the personal guards, and the other was the addition of Gao Shun and the personal guards, which greatly boosted the morale of the army and doubled its confidence.

Not only that, as the battle continued, Gao Shun and Xiahou Yuan fought for more than fifty rounds. Although Gao Shun was at a disadvantage, the army under his command had regained the upper hand and gradually forced Cao's army back.

Xiahou Yuan was very anxious when he saw this. He realized that it would be difficult for him to kill Gao Shun in a short time, so he rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.

He made a feint at Gao Shun, forcing him to retreat a step, and then shouted loudly: "Soldiers, it is difficult to fight here, quickly retreat to the west gate and discuss it later."

After saying this, he patted his horse and quickly retreated to the west.

Gao Shun chased after him without saying a word.

After chasing for dozens of steps, Xiahou Yuan suddenly stopped his horse, then turned his body back abruptly, and pierced Gao Shun's eyebrows with his long spear like a dragon.

"Suffer to death!"

Xiahou Yuan had practiced this saber-rattling move countless times, and it finally came in handy today. He felt that Gao Shun's martial arts was slightly inferior to his, and if he was hit by this saber-rattling move, he would surely die.

However, Gao Shun was not in a hurry. He turned his body to the side and barely dodged the attack. At the same time, he swung his spear quickly. Xiahou Yuan used all his strength to thrust the spear forward. Now that the spear was hit on the side, there was no extra strength to resist, and it flew out of his palm, flew far away, and fell to the ground.

"You...how could you dodge this bullet?" Xiahou Yuan could not accept this situation at all.

Gao Shun said calmly, "Although I am not as good as you in spearmanship and experience in fighting in battle, I could not tell at first that you were faking defeat and wanted to make a comeback."

Xiahou Yuan was getting more and more puzzled: "Then how could you react so quickly? I don't believe you are so flexible. A spear is most important for flexibility. If you have such skills, you will not only be able to use the spear like this, but also have the ability to shoot with the spear like this?"

Gao Shun said, "It's very simple. When I saw you running away, the frequency of patting your horse was far less than when you were charging at me before. It's obvious that you were deliberately walking slowly so that I could catch up with you."

"You..." Xiahou Yuan was so surprised that he was almost stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

Finally, he sighed deeply: "Gao Shun is really thoughtful and thoughtful. I am convinced and will surrender."

After he admitted defeat, the thousands of Cao's troops naturally stopped fighting.

Gao Shun nodded slightly, then waved to a few soldiers. They quickly came forward with ropes and tried to tie up Xiahou Yuan.

"slow!"

Xiahou Yuan shouted, and Gao Shun immediately raised his spear and stared at him warily.

"General Gao, you misunderstood. I don't mean to go back on my word. I just have a request."

Gao Shun heard this and asked, "What do you want?"

Xiahou Yuan clasped his fists and said, "Heroes appreciate heroes. Although I, Xiahou Yuan, cannot be called a hero, I admire heroes like General Gao. Even though I am defeated now, I am only willing to be tied up by General Gao. If an ordinary soldier were to humiliate me, I would rather be killed immediately."

After saying that, he raised his head and stretched his neck. Gao Shun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, Gao will come in person."

He jumped off the horse, took the rope from the soldier, and walked towards Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan also jumped off the horse, put his hands behind his back, and looked like he was waiting for Gao Shun to come forward and tie him up.

However, just when Gao Shun walked not far in front of Xiahou Yuan, something strange happened!

Xiahou Yuan suddenly raised his hands behind his back. He used his right hand to pull open the armor on his left wrist, revealing three short sharp arrows.

"Hidden Arrow!"

Gao Shun was shocked.

Xiahou Yuan smiled sideways: "Go to hell..."

Three sleeve arrows shot out at the same time...

Somewhere on the border between Yingchuan County of Yuzhou and Sili, there is a wilderness with overgrown weeds and dense trees. Except for a muddy road in the middle, there is no trace of human beings.

However, at this moment, if you look carefully in the woods, you can see heads hiding in them. However, they are hiding very well and camouflaged with leaves and bushes, so they are extremely difficult to find.

A general in armor was different from the others. He took off his helmet, lay in the shade of a tree, closed his eyes, and felt leisurely and happy.

A man who looked like a deputy general walked over, seemed to want to say something but hesitated. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth.

"General Liang, the Lord ordered us to set up an ambush here. We have been waiting for most of the day. The weather is so hot, it is really like the autumn heat. We can't stand it any more. I don't think Zhang Yong will come. Why don't we withdraw now?"

As he spoke, he lifted his collar and flapped it repeatedly, trying to create some cool breeze, but it was still difficult to stop the sweat from dripping down his forehead and cheeks.

General Liang half-opened his eyes and glanced at him: "Do you want to die? The lord's military discipline is very strict. If he tells us to wait here until tomorrow, it must be tomorrow, not an hour less. If he finds out that we retreat early, he will chop off our heads."

The deputy general looked miserable: "But the weather is so hot and there are so many mosquitoes here. It's really... really unbearable..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped himself. On his cheek, there was not only his palm print, but also the corpse of a mosquito and a bloodstain.

After hearing what he said, General Liang also felt itchy in many places on his body and started scratching himself unconsciously.

"You know what, the mosquitoes here are really annoying..."

Upon hearing this, the deputy general showed joy on his face: "Then should we..."

Who knew that General Liang suddenly frowned and said, "You have to bear it. Being bitten by mosquitoes is better than losing your head."

The deputy general had no choice but to purse his lips and return to his post.

"Stop and give this general a back scratch."

When the deputy general heard this, he was extremely upset. He thought it was despicable that the general hid under the shade of a tree to keep cool, leaving them to starve, suffer from the heat and be bitten by mosquitoes. However, he could only keep such thoughts in his heart and dared not say them out loud.
At this moment, bursts of horse hoof sounds were heard, coming from a distance, sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible.

General Liang stood up suddenly, ran quickly to the back of a bush and squatted down.

"There's movement, there's movement... They're coming, they're finally here!"

The deputy general was also very happy: "Finally, we have made it through. We don't have to endure these stinky mosquitoes anymore. General, get ready to act."

General Liang nodded and said, "Give the order to the soldiers to be alert. As soon as Zhang Yong enters the ambush circle, take action immediately!"
