Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 863: Surrounded
A general said in panic: "General Gao, Xiahou Dun is coming to kill us, are you..."

Before he could finish, Gao Shun glared at him and then shouted, "Why are you panicking?"

He looked at Xun You who was standing beside him, and the other party nodded at him, and Gao Shun also nodded in response.

Then he gave the order: "Sound the horn and retreat quickly."

"Huh? What?" Everyone thought they had heard it wrong. Although the battle situation was slightly unfavorable, it was not a sure defeat. Given Gao Shun's temperament, he would never give up so easily.

Gao Shun saw their expressions and repeated, "Sound the horn to call back the troops."

This time, the messenger next to him heard it clearly and started to sound the horn without hesitation.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, including the Han Wuzu, retreated like a tide.

"Where to go?"

When the Xiahou brothers saw Gao Shun, they became furious and wanted only to capture this Han court general to avenge their previous humiliation. How could they allow him to retreat and escape?

Without further ado, the two men ordered a pursuit.

But before they could catch up with him for a few steps, they were stopped by someone. They turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yu.

"Zhongde, you are not with Mengde, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Yu clasped his fists and saluted the two men, saying, "The Lord has ordered that the two generals should not pursue and can allow Gao Shun to retreat."

"What? This is absolutely not allowed."

The two of them refuted it without hesitation.

"The situation is very favorable now, and our army is in control. Gao Shun is doomed to fail. Why not seize the opportunity to pursue him and capture him in one fell swoop? Wouldn't that mean Liu He can be defeated?"

Cheng Yu said, "Generals, don't be careless. Although Gao Shun was defeated, the casualties in this battle were less than 5,000, so his strength is still there. And if you look carefully, when he withdrew his troops, they were in good order, without any panic, and many generals led the Han Wu soldiers to cover the retreat."

Upon hearing this, the two turned around and saw that it was exactly as Cheng Yu said. However, they were only staring at Gao Shun before and did not notice it.

Seeing that they had calmed down a bit, Cheng Yu continued, "Although the cavalry led by the two generals may have won temporarily, they are still too few in number. Once they catch up with the enemy, they will fight to the death. What do you think is the chance of winning?"

The Xiahou brothers looked at each other, the answer was too obvious.

"Thanks to your advice, sir. Otherwise, my brother would have been disturbed by hatred and even lost his life."

The two men bowed respectfully to Cheng Yu and expressed their gratitude, but Cheng Yu kept saying he didn't dare.

"The Lord has ordered that Gao Shun should retreat, so let him go. Zhang Yong is still surrounded by our army, but he is very powerful, no less powerful than Gao Shun, and it is difficult to capture him for the time being. Please rush to help and capture Zhang Yong, which will also make Luoyang extremely panic and boost the morale of our army."

The Xiahou brothers looked at the battlefield in the distance where the fighting was raging, and their fighting spirit rose again.

"Okay, Gao Shun escaped, and Zhang Yong was captured. It's the same. Soldiers, charge forward!"

A total of 10,000 cavalrymen rushed towards Zhang Yong, roaring.

Zhang Yong's Golden Sword Camp was pinned down by the shield soldiers led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and then attacked by the rest of Cao's generals. The two sides fought back and forth, and for a while, it was difficult to tell the winner.

As for the remaining 70,000 troops under Zhang Yong, although they had gained some advantages over Cao's army, it was difficult for them to win quickly.

Relying on the Earth-Splitting Axe in his hand, Zhang Yong charged back and forth in Cao's army. Originally, Dian Wei and Xu Chu tried to suppress him, but the Golden Sword Battalion was too powerful. The two had to withdraw after fighting for a while and go to lead the shield soldiers to fight. In this way, Zhang Yong became almost invincible.

So far in the fighting, four Cao army generals and hundreds of soldiers have died under his axe. This has greatly encouraged the Han army soldiers and boosted their morale.

"General Zhang is mighty!"

"Kill all the Cao dogs!"

At this time, the Xiahou brothers came to help. "Who dares to kill the people of our Xiahou family and Cao family?"

"Try the bow and arrow of a certain family first."

Xiahou Yuan raised his hand and shot an arrow, killing a Han soldier.

Then, he shouted at Zhang Yong, "Zhang Yong, Gao Shun has already abandoned you. Now you are alone and helpless. You will definitely fail. Why don't you surrender early? My master will never treat you unfairly."

Zhang Yong spat at him fiercely, "Bah, you shameless bastard. I, Zhang Yong, was originally a country bumpkin. I have been blessed by the emperor and treated as a brother until today. As the saying goes, a loyal minister should not serve two masters. Moreover, my brother and I are loyal to each other. If I go against him, what difference would I make from an animal?"

After saying that, he turned his hand and chopped down a Cao army soldier: "You bastard, stop talking nonsense, and let's fight to the death."

Xiahou Dun showed admiration on his face: "What a majestic hero! In that case, you are so talented. I will go and meet him first."

He patted his warhorse and thrust his spear.

"System prompt: Zhang Yong vs. Xiahou Dun. Zhang Yong's basic strength is 94 points. The King of Soldiers, King of Armor, and mount have increased by 5 points in total. The special skill 'Ghost Axe' has been triggered, and the strength has increased by 4 points. The current comprehensive strength is 103 points."

"Xiahou Dun's basic force is 95 points, and his weapons and armor are increased by 2 points in total. He has the special skill 'Rage' - depending on the owner's irritability and anger, his force increases by 2-5 points, and his intelligence is reduced by half. However, he does not have such emotions towards Zhang Yong yet, so it has not been triggered yet. His overall force is 97 points."

Xiahou Dun thrust his spear horizontally at Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong's eyes flashed and he swung his axe forward, neutralizing the attack with this casual move.

"Good martial arts." Xiahou Dun praised secretly, then swung his spear, turning it into a stick and smashed it towards Zhang Yong's head.

"Hmph." Zhang Yong snorted coldly and swung the axe to the side of his face, standing still as a mountain. No matter how Xiahou Dun hit him with his spear, he could not do anything to him.

"Come again."

Xiahou Dun became interested in fighting. He retracted his spear and pointed it at Zhang Yong's face. Zhang Yong turned his head to the side to avoid the attack.

"You have already attacked three times, it's my turn."

Zhang Yong shouted and swung his axe suddenly, like a cloud hanging overhead, with a force of a thousand pounds.

"clang……"

The spear that was lying in front of Xiahou Dun collided with Zhang Yong's axe with a loud noise, and Xiahou Dun felt a sharp pain in his palm and almost couldn't hold the spear.

He was horrified in his heart: "Zhang Yong's martial arts are so superb. I'm afraid that only Dian Wei and Xu Chu in my army can beat him. I must not underestimate him."

While he was thinking about this, Zhang Yong's second move had already arrived.

"You think you can stop me? You are dreaming. I will kill you first and then I will go and get Cao's head."

Zhang Yong shouted angrily, pouring all his strength into the axe, and chopped fiercely at Xiahou Dun's neck, wishing he could chop off his head with this one blow.

"What did you say?"

After hearing his words, Xiahou Dun immediately became furious, his eyes widened, and the veins on his forehead seemed like they were about to explode at any time, which was extremely horrifying.

"System prompt: Xiahou Dun is enraged. Based on the current anger level, his force is increased by 3 points. The current comprehensive force reaches 100 points."

He leaned forward and thrust out with the spear in his hand.

Zhang Yong's axe missed, but the spear tip was already close to his lower abdomen. In a hurry, he freed his left hand and grabbed the spear tip three inches below in a flash.

“Ah…Go to hell…”

Xiahou Dun shouted angrily and used all his strength to push the spear tip forward two inches, until it was just touching Zhang Yong's lower abdomen armor.
