Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 834 A narrow escape from death

Gao Shun saw this and immediately shouted, "Stop them."

Several generals rushed out on horseback, blocking the four people who were about to meet.

One of the generals pointed his spear and said angrily: "With such a tight net in place, why don't you surrender?"

"Capture your grandma!"

Xiahou Dun flew into a rage, leaped high, and knocked the general off his horse.

"Die!"

He picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it on the general's head. At this moment, a long spear stabbed in front of him and hit Xiahou Dun in the face.

Xiahou Dun had no choice but to give up the general who was thrown to the ground and jumped back to avoid the attack.

Eight generals, leading a total of thousands of soldiers, launched an attack on the four of them in a mighty and murderous manner.

Spears, lances, broadswords, halberds, all kinds of weapons, coordinated well, long-range shooting, long stabbing, close-range slashing, even with the courage of four people, they were beaten to the point where they had no power to fight back.

Under such an attack, the four men were defeated step by step, but soon after, a row of heavy shield soldiers and spearmen ran out from both sides and went around to their rear.

Xiahou Yuan's face changed. "Not good, big brother. If we let the two warriors succeed in encircling us, we will have no chance of survival."

Dian Wei also noticed this and said hurriedly, "Once the Han Wu soldiers form a battle formation, it will be impossible for the four of us to break through it. Unless someone attacks from the rear to break the formation, we will surely die."

Xiahou Dun spat: "How can reinforcements come to attack the rear in this icy and snowy place? What should we do now?"

Several people were in a panic, but Xiahou Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "For now, whether it's revenge or redress, we have to put it aside for now. We have to escape first and save our lives so that we can have a chance to come back. Now that the encirclement has not yet been formed, with our martial arts, we can still hope to break out if we try our best. Otherwise, it will be too late."

Xiahou Dun rejected it immediately: "No, if I cannot avenge my humiliation here, I, Xiahou Dun, will be dead even if I live. Today, Gao Shun and I must either die or I will die."

"Oh, big brother, don't be so stupid!" Xiahou Yuan shouted, "If we continue to fight, there will only be one outcome, you die and he lives. We have no chance of winning. It's better to leave quickly and plan for the future."

"Ahem..." Xu Chu was seriously injured. He coughed a few times and said weakly, "This...this general is right. I am a rough man and don't understand other principles, but I know the saying that if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood."

When Xiahou Yuan saw that he agreed, he immediately looked at Dian Wei.

Dian Wei glanced towards the direction of the city wall, seemingly unwilling to give up. However, there were swords and spears everywhere around him, and no matter how he looked at it, there was no chance at all, so he had no choice but to nod.

"I agree. Let's escape first and make plans later."

Xiahou Yuan's expression relaxed: "Brother, don't hesitate, let's go."

After saying this, he pulled Xiahou Dun along and ran away without caring whether Xiahou Dun agreed or not.

The four of them rushed in one direction at the same time, and the Han Wu soldiers had not yet formed a formation, so they were naturally difficult to resist and were soon pushed to the edge of the formation.

"Stop them quickly!"

Several generals hurriedly chased after them and stood in front of them, trying to buy time for the large formation to encircle them.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Xiahou Dun's eyes opened wide, like a god of death descending to earth. He swept his spear across, instantly breaking the front hoof of a general's horse.

The warhorse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground with a bang. Just as the general on the horse was about to get up, Xiahou Yuan stepped forward, thrust his spear, and killed him.

At the same time, although Dian Wei and Xu Chu were already sore in their hands and weak in their legs, they worked together to injure a general and make him fall down, making it difficult for him to fight again.

With such a deterrent performance, the other generals and surrounding soldiers were all filled with suspicion and some soldiers even felt fear.

Under such emotions, the speed of the encirclement formation naturally slowed down, and in just a few breaths, Xiahou Yuan took the lead and ran to the outermost row of soldiers. Then he exerted force with both feet and jumped up to a height of one person, and easily jumped over the heads of that row of Han Wuzu soldiers.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he bent down and squatted, turned around, and swept his spear across, knocking down two Han Wuzu soldiers to the ground.

Xiahou Dun and the other three rushed out from this gap. "Haha, what a bunch of crap Han Wu soldiers, thousands of them can't stop the four of us, it's useless, no...hiss, it hurts..."

Dian Wei laughed wildly with triumph, but it pulled the wound, causing him to grimace in severe pain.

The Han soldiers behind him suddenly stopped chasing at this moment, and not only that, they also took the initiative to retreat.

Xu Chu wondered, "Could it be that they gave up because of the difficulty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly: "Hurry, run!"

He roared, pushed Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and at the same time pulled Xiahou Dun and ran away.

Before Xiahou Dun and others could figure out what was going on, they saw rows of soldiers coming out from behind the retreating Han Wuzu.

Each of these soldiers held a crossbow in their hands. When they looked over, they saw that the crossbow was loaded with ten arrows.

"The Divine Crossbow!"

Xiahou Dun immediately recognized this type of crossbow. Cao's army had suffered many losses from this type of crossbow, and as Cao's top general, he was naturally very familiar with it.

"Run! This crossbow arrow is extremely powerful, strong enough to penetrate gold and split stone!"

Now he didn't need Xiahou Yuan to pull him along. He just ran as fast as he could on his own, regretting that his parents didn't give him two more children.

They had just run a few dozen steps when they heard a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound behind them, and they were even more terrified.

Fortunately, several people dodged left and right while running away, and finally they were not hit by the crossbow arrows.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the second wave of crossbow arrows followed. It turned out that the crossbowmen were also divided into two rows. After one row finished shooting, the second row would quickly replace it. Therefore, there was only three or four breaths between the two waves of crossbow arrows.

This time, the four of them were no longer so lucky.

Dian Wei had fought for the longest time and was the most physically exhausted. It was extremely difficult for him to escape at this moment and he could no longer dodge. In this wave of crossbow arrows, one of the crossbow arrows pierced through his right arm.

"Hmm..." Dian Wei endured the severe pain. He neither cried out nor fell down. Instead, he gritted his teeth and continued to run away.

After seeing the power of the crossbow arrow with their own eyes, the four of them used up the little strength they had left in their bodies and ran three times faster than before.

Xiahou Yuan saw a dense forest not far to the right and shouted, "Quick, escape into the forest."

Without any hesitation, the four of them changed direction and fled to the front left.

Although the crossbow arrow was powerful, its range was ultimately not as good as that of a strong bow. The four people ran for their lives so frantically that it didn't take long before they escaped from the crossbow's range.

"Damn it! They actually escaped! Brothers, gather your troops and follow me in to chase them!"

A general shouted angrily and was about to give chase, but was stopped by Gao Shun.

"Don't chase poor bandits."

The generals were outraged: "General, they killed so many of our brothers. Now the four bandits are all seriously injured and exhausted. We can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Gao Shun frowned, looked at the forest, and shook his head: "The four of them are very familiar with the terrain of Chenliu. I can't wait. Especially Dian Wei and the other strong man, they have been here for who knows how many days. If I chase them rashly, I am afraid I will fall into their trap."

After he said this, the generals understood. Even though they were extremely annoyed, they had no choice but to give up.

"Alas, they got it easy. Now we can only send soldiers to search everywhere and clear away obstacles before making plans. Since your majesty started the rebellion, our army has never suffered such a big loss. Thousands of soldiers and horses were killed by four people. It's hateful and annoying!"

"Yes, this shame must be washed away with blood in the future!"

The generals looked at the woods unwillingly, then cleaned up the battlefield and retreated back into the city.
