Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 796 Zhang Yong is injured
Now, Cao Hong was completely panicked.

"Zhao Yun and Guan Yu have a total of 30,000 cavalry. Considering the current situation in Yanzhou, I'm afraid that within three days, they will be able to sweep across the country and completely control Yanzhou. From Jiyin to the south, within three days, they will reach Qiao County, which is the foundation of our Cao and Xiahou families..."

Cao Ang hurriedly advised Cao Cao: "Father, the best plan now is to return to the army as soon as possible to defend Qiao County and several important roads heading south from Yanzhou. Otherwise, not only will our ancestral tombs be occupied by the enemy, but even the generals and soldiers in the army will be demoralized."

"Yes, uncle, the land of Qiao County must not fall into the hands of the enemy."

Cao Shu also echoed.

However, Cao Cao still kept his eyes fixed on Zhang Yong and did not express any opinion in response to the advice of the three of them.

"What the three of you said is absolutely not allowed."

Cheng Yu bluntly refuted it, leaving the three of them very puzzled.

"Military Advisor Cheng, you..."

Cheng Yu said: "Whether it is Gongsun Fan's defeat or the loss of Yanzhou, it was already expected. Since the lord has made up his mind to capture Zhang Yong, he must not give up halfway."

Cao Ang was both angry and shocked: "Didn't Mr. Cheng Yu persuade my father to withdraw his troops before? Why is he so fickle?"

Cheng Yu did not refute his obviously sarcastic words.

"My Lord, it is a different time than the one before. At that time, although we had expected that Guan Yu and his men would march south after Gongsun Fan's defeat, we did not expect them to be so swift, let alone Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan. The Han cavalry is as fast as the wind, and the speed of their deployment is unmatched in the world. Our army is so exhausted that even if we return to guard the important roads to the south, it will be difficult to prepare for the city defense in such a hurry, and it will be even more difficult to rally the army and fight the enemy fiercely."

Cao Hong also became somewhat displeased: "According to the military advisor, we have no way to go up to the sky and no door to enter the earth?"

Cheng Yu chuckled, "Of course not. The only solution now is to capture Zhang Yong and defeat the Han army in front of us. In this way, firstly, we can quickly boost morale. Secondly, we can occupy the nearby city of Xinzheng and reorganize the army. Thirdly, we can directly press Hulao Pass and Luoyang City, which can realize the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" that the lord mentioned before. By then, Guan Yu and others will surely go to rescue Luoyang, and our army will strike back, which will not only consolidate Yuzhou, but also take advantage of the situation to retake Yanzhou."

Cao Ang still looked unconvinced: "But, if this plan fails..."

"No need to say more."

Cao Cao suddenly spoke, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"What Zhongde said is exactly what I agree with. If we return to fight Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others now, and Zhang Yong attacks from the rear, our army will not only be defeated, but our lives will also be cut off by the enemy. There is absolutely no chance of survival. Zi Lian, Zi Xiu, An Min, the three of you go forward and capture Zhang Yong. Just save his life. If necessary, you can cut off his hands and feet."

When Cao Hong and the other two heard him speak, they realized how serious the matter was, and immediately followed his orders and rushed out to kill.

Zhang Yong's hands were shaking as he looked at the three people rushing towards him with murderous intent.

"What happened to Third Brother? He should have arrived here more than an hour ago, so why is he still missing? Could it be that Cao the thief has set up an ambush?"

He himself was in danger and could be captured at any time, but he was still thinking about Cheng Liang's safety.

What he didn't know was that Cheng Liang had just eaten and rested not long ago, and was setting off again. He was still more than twenty miles away from here.

Cheng Liang was walking slowly on his way while talking to himself.

"I don't know if the battle over there has ended for my fourth brother... Without the tiger bones and skin, I don't know what gift to give him to celebrate his success... Alas, that sturdy man before was really good at martial arts, but it's a pity that he was so uneducated that he dared to anger me like that. How could I forget to ask him where he was from? Otherwise, I would have found him and taught him a lesson to vent my hatred..."

He had no idea that his fourth brother was already surrounded and had no way to escape.

Zhang Yong was once again surrounded by Cao Hong, Cao Ang and Cao Shu. Before, when facing the three of them, Zhang Yong still had a slight advantage. However, at this time, he was exhausted, while the opponents were almost at their peak, and the situation naturally reversed.

In just over 20 rounds, Zhang Yong was hit once by Cao Hong and once by Cao Ang. Although he was temporarily unharmed by the golden armor, the places where he was hit were still very painful. Cao Ang's eyes lit up: "It is said that Liu He and you brothers have sworn brotherhood, and they have divine armor to protect them and are invulnerable to swords and spears. I thought it was an exaggeration, but today I see that it is true. Next year will be your father's 40th birthday, so I will lend you the precious armor to celebrate your birthday."

Zhang Yong snorted coldly, "You are just a clown, and you think you can capture me? You are dreaming."

He swung the axe suddenly, and Cao Ang was caught off guard and was hit. A wound immediately appeared on his abdomen and blood flowed out instantly.

"what……"

Cao Ang cried out in pain.

"Quick, quick, go and rescue Zixiu!" Cao Cao was also shocked, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers to come forward, carry Cao Ang back, and send him to the military doctor for bandaging.

"If you dare to hurt Zixiu, I will kill you!"

Cao Hong was so anxious that his eyes turned red. While Zhang Yong had not yet retracted his axe, he stabbed him directly in the head with his spear.

Zhang Yong was about to retract his Heaven-Splitting Axe to block, but just as he was about to exert force, his arms suddenly felt sore and his hands became weak, and he almost dropped the weapon.

"Oh no..." He suddenly felt anxious. Seeing that Cao Hong was about to stab him, he had no choice but to move his head to the side.

"Bah..."

The tip of the gun passed across the side of his cheek, leaving a nearly two-inch wound on Zhang Yong's face.

For a moment, blood dyed his face red.

However, before Cao Hong could be happy, Zhang Yong suddenly gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, swung the battle axe, and chopped directly at him.

"go with!"

As he shouted loudly, the axe, just as its name suggests, came down with a mighty force.

Cao Hong's pupils dilated with shock, and he quickly moved forward to block with the barrel of his spear. However, the axe was so heavy, and Zhang Yong had used all his strength to strike, how could it be so easy to block?

After a crisp sound, Cao Hong's spear broke and he was shaken back repeatedly. Finally, he staggered and fell backwards.

"Duh!"

While Zhang Yong was still unstable, Cao Shu swept across the battlefield with his spear, hitting Zhang Yong's legs hard. Zhang Yong felt so much pain that he fell forward.

Cao Shu was overjoyed: "Quick, come up and tie him up!"

Cao Cao also let out a long sigh: "Finally captured him..."

Before he could utter the word "next", his expression changed again.

Zhang Yong rolled on the ground, and the axe swept out with him. The legs of the Cao army soldiers who came forward to tie him up had their legs chopped off. They fell to the ground, screaming in misery.

"Quickly surround them and don't let them escape again."

At Cao Cao's command, hundreds of Cao's soldiers, each holding a large net, rushed towards Zhang Yong.
