Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 880 Reinforcements arrive
"Protect Your Majesty."

Zhang He led the remaining seven or eight hundred light cavalry and surrounded Liu He.

"Hehe, cavalry, I am the commander of the cavalry in battle, and I have never been afraid of anyone."

Xiahou Yuan looked at Zhang He, sneered, then picked up his spear and led his light cavalry to charge forward.

Zhang He glared at him and said, "Xiahou Yuan, I have heard for a long time that your archery skills are the best in the bandit camp. Today I am here to see for myself."

He took his Cloud-breaking Bow from his horse's back.

The Broken Cloud Bow is a five-stone strong bow. One arrow shot from it is strong enough to pierce a huge rock. Even at a distance of more than 200 steps, it can penetrate a person's chest. Its power is amazing. Even among the generals under Liu He, there are only four who can use the Broken Cloud Bow: Ye Xiang, Qu Hang, Zhao Yun and Zhang He. Among them, Zhao Yun and Zhang He often practice archery with Ye Xiang, and received books on weapon practice skills from Liu He. After diligent practice, they just received this bow from Liu He not long ago.

Apart from these four people, even Liu He himself, although he could pull the bowstring freely, found it difficult to fully control it due to his poor archery skills.

Since Xiahou Yuan was defeated by Ye Xiang in Xuzhou that year, he has been practicing hard day and night. Now, holding a three-stone strong bow, he is very confident in his archery skills. Even if Ye Xiang comes in person, he has the confidence to fight, let alone just an unknown Zhang He?

"You are quite courageous for daring to shoot at this general. I will help you."

He took out his strong bow, and they both put sharp arrows on the bowstrings almost at the same time.

"System prompt: Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan compete in archery. Zhang He's archery is 97 points, and the Cloud Breaking Bow is improved by 2 points, with a total archery of 99 points."

"Xiahou Yuan's archery skill is 98 points, the bow in his hand has been improved by 1 point, and the overall archery skill is 99 points."

After the two men drew their bows and arrows, they hardly spent much effort on aiming. Only half a breath later, two sharp arrows shot at each other at the same time.

However, the two of them were well prepared and would naturally not allow themselves to be shot by the other side. The moment the arrow flew out, they both lowered their heads at the same time.

The arrow grazed their scalps and shot backwards. Soon two screams were heard. The two men did not bother to check who was so unlucky and immediately took the second sharp arrow.

"Whoosh..."

"call out……"

The two men shot at each other continuously, and arrows flew back and forth in the air between them. In just a dozen breaths, each of them had shot no less than twenty arrows.

At this moment, both of them felt a little more wary of the enemy in front of them.

"What a great Xiahou Yuan! His reputation is well-deserved. I'm afraid that General Ye Xiang is the only one in our army whose archery skills can definitely surpass his."

Zhang He was secretly amazed in his heart, and Xiahou Yuan's eyes became unusually solemn.

"After Zhang He joined Liu He's army, he has not been seen since then except for the battle in Luoyang Palace. I didn't expect his archery skills to be so superb that even I can't get any benefit from him."

But the more this happened, the more Xiahou Yuan refused to accept it: "If I can't even defeat Zhang He, how can I seek revenge on Ye Xiang? I must shoot this guy to death today."

With this thought in mind, Xiahou Yuan drew the bow with all his strength and shot another arrow at Zhang He.

"Humph."

Zhang He snorted softly through his nostrils and immediately shot out another arrow.

However, just as the two were preparing to dodge the other's arrows again, what they never expected was that the two arrows actually collided in mid-air.

With a crisp sound, the iron arrowhead produced sparks, and then the arrow shot by Xiahou Yuan broke directly, and the arrow shot by Zhang He also became a spent arrow, and after flying forward a few steps, it fell to the ground.

"Nice bow."

Xiahou Yuan was shocked and immediately wanted to seize it by force.

He spurred his horse and rushed towards Zhang He at lightning speed.

This move was beyond Zhang He's expectation, and he quickly shot an arrow, but Xiahou Yuan was prepared and dodged it easily. When Zhang He was about to shoot the second arrow, the opponent had already rushed to him.

"Look at the gun."

Xiahou Yuan had put away his iron bow and thrust his spear forward. "Humph, if you can't compare archery skills, then we have to compare spear skills. What do I have to fear?"

Zhang He dodged the opponent's attack, put away the Broken Cloud Bow with his left hand, and took the Sky-lifting Halberd given to him by Liu He with his right hand, and raised his hand to block it. ~
"System prompt: Zhang He vs. Xiahou Yuan. Zhang He's basic force is 93 points, his weapons and armor have increased by 2 points in total, and his current comprehensive force is 95 points."

"Xiahou Yuan's basic military strength is 94 points. His weapons and armor have increased by 2 points in total. He is currently commanding light cavalry in combat. His command and military strength have increased by 2 points each. The military strength of all his cavalry officers and soldiers has increased by 1 point. His current comprehensive military strength is 98 points."

Zhang He's Qingtian Ji was not as thick as Xiahou Yuan's spear, but it was several inches longer. As the saying goes, "an inch longer, an inch stronger." The difference in their martial arts was only 3 points. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan was unable to defeat Zhang He for a while, which made him more angry and anxious.

At this time, a man came running from a distance and stabbed Zhang He with a spear.

"Miaocai, I'm here to help you."

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed: "Brother, once we kill this man, Liu He will be fighting alone and will have no chance of survival."

Zhang He swung his spear to the right, deflecting Xiahou Dun's attack, but Xiahou Yuan's attack followed closely.

"Boom..."

He was hit on the shoulder by Xiahou Yuan's gun, and there was a sound of broken bones immediately. The severe pain made Zhang He break out in cold sweat and almost cry out in pain.

"Ha, it's mine."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiahou Yuan reached out and snatched Zhang He's Broken Cloud Bow.

"My bow..."

Just as he was about to reach out to take it back, Xiahou Dun stabbed him again.

"Don't hurt my general."

The nearest group of cavalrymen with halberds rushed back, and several long halberds attacked at the same time, deflecting Xiahou Dun's spear and saving Zhang He.

"General, please leave..."

Several people tried to push him away, but Zhang He would rather die than retreat: "I am deeply favored by your majesty. I was appointed as a general and entrusted with the important task of commanding the army and guarding the palace. Today, I can only repay you with my death."

His left arm was injured, making it difficult for him to ride and fight at the same time, so he simply turned over and jumped off the horse. As his feet landed on the ground, he grasped the Qingtian Halberd in his right hand and swept it towards the front legs of Xiahou Dun's horse.

"What a loyal and brave Zhang He is. It's a pity that he is destined to die at the hands of someone today."

Xiahou Dun reined in his warhorse, causing its front hooves to leap high into the air. With one spear, he drove back the halberd-wielding soldiers around him. Then, when the horse fell back down, he used the spear as a stick and smashed them down hard.

After Xiahou Yuan snatched the Broken Cloud Bow, he suppressed his urge to test his skills, picked up his spear again, and attacked Zhang He from behind.

Zhang He was already injured, and under the attack of the two men, he was stabbed in the right chest by Xiahou Dun in less than three rounds.

"It's hateful. Cao's army is used to using their numbers to bully the minority. It's shameless."

Xiahou Dun didn't care: "All is fair in war. This time it was your master who fell into my master's trap. I can only blame you for not being good enough in martial arts. If I were killed by you, no matter what the cause of death was, I would definitely have no complaints."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rough voice came from somewhere: "You yawn, you are so arrogant. In this case, let me fight you for a few moves."

When Xiahou Dun heard this voice, he felt it was extremely familiar: "This... this is..."

However, Liu He, who was fighting not far in front of Cao Cao, had a happy look on his face.

"coming!"

The voice drifted far away in the night, and a tall figure, riding a warhorse that was shining silver in the moonlight, was galloping all the way. Wherever he went, Cao's soldiers were smashed and flew away. No one could resist or stop him, let alone delay him for a moment.

Although Xiahou Dun did not see the man's face clearly, at this moment, he had already completely guessed the other party's identity, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

Cao Cao, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly widened his eyes to the extreme, gnashed his teeth, and said two words word by word: "Zhu - Ye -"
