Chapter 946 A Hard Battle

The system explained: "After verification by the system, many generals of the Cao army, especially the five tiger generals, have received special training from one person. This person has the special skill of "Martial Master". People with this special skill are good at training military talents. They can quickly improve the command and force of their disciples, and have a chance to trigger the sudden enlightenment of the disciples, randomly improving the command and force by 1-3 points. It is also effective for those whose force exceeds the limit of 100."

"Under the influence of this skill, within two years, Xiahou Dun's command will increase by 3 points, and his military strength will increase by 2 points. Dian Wei's command will increase by 2 point, and his military strength will increase by 2 points. Xu Chu's command will increase by 1 point, and his military strength will increase by 2 points. Huang Zhong's command will increase by 1 point, and his military strength will increase by 3 point."

"In addition, the command and military strength of some of the generals would have normally improved over the past two years, so the attributes of the five people have now changed as follows:"

"Xiahou Dun's Commander 85, Military Strength 97, Intelligence 66, Politics 47, Special Skill 'Rage' - Increases the martial strength by 2-5 points depending on the skill owner's irritability and anger, and reduces intelligence by half."

"Xiahou Yuan's Command is 83, Military Strength is 96, Intelligence is 76, Politics is 58, Special Attributes: Archery is 99, Special Skill 'Speedy March' - When leading the army on the march, his own Command is increased by 4 points, and the marching speed of the entire army is greatly increased; when leading light cavalry in battle, his own Command and Military Strength are increased by 2 points each, and the Military Strength of all cavalry officers and soldiers under his command is collectively increased by 1 point."

"Huang Zhong's Command is 77, Military Strength is 102, Intelligence is 71, Politics is 47, Special Attributes: Archery is 100, Special Skill 1 'Bow King' - Archery is increased by 3 points when shooting arrows, and when shooting at an opponent, the bonus effect of the opponent's archery-related special skills is halved. Special Skill 2 'Mature' - When this general is between 3 and 1 years old, every 3 years of age over 1 years old is converted into 4 point of military strength for combat bonus. At the same time, for enemy generals younger than him, the military strength is reduced by point for every years of age, with a maximum of points."

"Dian Wei's Command 50, Military Strength 101, Intelligence 48, Politics 21, Special 1 'Brave' - Fight bravely and fearlessly. When fighting, his own Military Strength increases by 4 points. When in desperate situation, his Military Strength increases by an additional 1-3 points depending on the degree of danger. If he enters a dying area, he can randomly burst out an additional 2 points of Military Strength for a desperate attack. Special 2 'Infantry Combat' - He can better demonstrate his strength in infantry combat. When leading infantry combat, his Command and Military Strength each increase by 3 points. When fighting infantry alone, his Military Strength increases by 5 points."

"Xu Chu's Commander 21, Military 100, Intelligence 44, Politics 16, Special 1 'Flattening the Mountain' - When fighting in a mountainous environment, Military increases by 2 points, and reduces the enemy's Military by 1-3 points depending on the enemy's situation. Special 2 'Naked Clothes' - When fighting shirtless, Military increases by 4 points, and has a chance to deliver a critical hit, reducing the enemy's Military by 2 points at the moment of attack."

After hearing the system's answer, Liu He was so surprised that his mouth was wide open.

"This martial artist's special skill is too brutal. In less than two years, he actually raised the strength of a group of people with a strength of more than 100 so much in one go. Moreover, it is effective for people whose strength has exceeded the limit of . Who is this guy? How come I didn't know there was such a master in Cao Ying?"

Liu He asked in shock, but he didn't expect that the system, which had always been omnipotent, would give an answer that surprised him.

"Sorry, the system can only query the attributes and special skills of people, but not the corresponding characters based on special skills. Please check it yourself."

"Puff..." Liu He almost vomited blood.

"If you don't even have this basic function, what use are you?"

"If the host is not satisfied, he can choose to abandon the system. After counting down five times, this system will enter a dormant state and cannot be awakened within ten years."

"5 ……"

"4..."

"3..."

Liu He was anxious now: "Stop, stop, stop, I'm wrong, System Boss, is it okay if I'm wrong?"

The system's countdown finally stopped, allowing Liu He to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he suddenly thought of something.

"Yes, I almost forgot that this system has many functions, such as tasks, points, and the upgraded Spirit Tower. Each function is extremely cool. How can I be stumped by a Cao Cao? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. What about the Five Tiger Generals of the Cao Family? Wait, it won't be long before I can train ten dragons, or even twenty dragons. Then I'll see how you cry."

Since Liu He's power grew, he almost forgot about the system. Looking back now, he regrets it deeply.

Just as he was about to enter the long-missed system interface and take a good look at it, the cold reminder sound rang again.

"System prompt: Xiahou Dun enters the battle. Xiahou Dun's basic force is 97 points. Weapons, armor, and mounts are increased by 3 points in total. The special skill 'Rage' is activated. The current level of rage only increases force by 2 points. Xiahou Dun's overall force is 102 points."

"Xiahou Yuan enters the battle. Xiahou Yuan's basic strength is 96 points. His weapons, armor, and mounts are increased by 3 points. Since he is currently leading the light cavalry, his special skill 'Sprint' is activated. His command and strength are increased by 2 points each. The strength of all his cavalry officers and soldiers is collectively increased by 1 point. Xiahou Yuan's current comprehensive command is 85 and his comprehensive strength is 101 points."

"Huang Zhong enters the battle. His basic force is 102 points. His weapons and armor have increased by 2 points. Since he is fighting among the soldiers of the army, he has never fought against generals, nor used bows and arrows. Therefore, his special skills of 'experienced' and 'arch king' have not been triggered yet. His current comprehensive force is 104 points."

"System prompt: Affected by the 'Five Tigers' combination skill, the three people's martial arts temporarily increased by 3 points. Xiahou Dun's current comprehensive martial arts became 105 points, Xiahou Yuan's comprehensive martial arts became 104 points, and Huang Zhong's comprehensive martial arts became 107 points."

Although these three men were not as brave as Dian Wei and Xu Chu, although the soldiers in Gao Shun's army had high combat effectiveness, they did not have any top-notch generals to help them. Whether it was the Han Wuzu or the Golden Sword Camp, although they were the most elite troops in the world, they still had a hard time fighting against the offensive launched by the cavalry led by these three men.

"What kind of hidden tricks did Cao Aman have? Who was this expert who could have raised the strength of Cao's generals by a huge margin in such a short period of time..."

Liu He was puzzled. He knew that if it were not for the existence of this secret martial arts master, today's battle, relying solely on Zhu Ye's bravery and Gao Shun's command, would be enough to defeat Cao's army, and then with Zhang Yong's cooperation, the army would quickly sweep across Yuzhou. By then, Cao Cao would be defeated and there would be no room for maneuver.

However, because of the existence of this martial artist, not only is it impossible to win this battle, even Zhu Ye’s life is in danger. How can Liu He not be anxious?
"Big trouble... Really big trouble... At this point, even if we send a letter via eagle it's too late. What should we do? Fifth brother, Bo Ping, you must not get into any trouble..."

Facing the siege of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Zhu Ye gradually fell into a disadvantage after twenty rounds.

Among the two, Dian Wei's martial arts strength was almost the same as his, only 2 points weaker than him. Even if the two were fighting one-on-one, Zhu Ye would need at least 107 rounds to have a chance of winning. In addition, Xu Chu with a martial arts strength of was there to contain his offensive, making Zhu Ye extremely anxious.

"Damn it, what on earth happened to these two guys... Ever since I followed Big Brother, I have never encountered such a strong opponent."

He was distracted for a moment and was nearly stabbed on the back of his hand by Dian Wei's short spear. Fortunately, he reacted in time and only the tip of the spear scratched his fur.

"Phew...that was close..." Zhu Ye was already feeling scared.

Just when he was feeling somewhat relieved, Xu Chu's machete followed closely behind and chopped at his legs horizontally. Dian Wei failed to hit him, so he turned his double iron divine moon halberds in mid-air and chopped at Zhu Ye's forehead again.

The two men attacked from above and below at the same time, and two sharp forces came straight to his face, forcing Zhu Ye to quickly jump back a step, luckily avoiding the attack.

"You want to hide? Let's see how many times you can hide."

Dian Wei shouted softly, kicked the ground with his strong and nimble legs, and pressed forward together with Xu Chu.

The 5,500 cavalrymen brought by Zhu Ye were extremely anxious to see their general in danger, but they were stopped by a large army commanded by Cao Cao himself. They could not even save themselves, so how could they rescue Zhu Ye? The few who managed to break out of the encirclement were quickly killed by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and could not play any significant role at all.

Zhu Ye was struggling to hold on, and the battle commanded by Gao Shun was also extremely difficult.

Although the 30,000 infantrymen brought by Zhu Ye temporarily joined his army and accepted his command, the other side of the river where Cao Cao and others were standing was a flat land, while the side where he was was covered with dense woods. He was currently commanding an army of 65,000, and it was difficult for him to exert his power among the grass and trees.

Xiahou Dun and his two men each led 4,000 light cavalry, carrying out guerrilla attacks and harassment, and they kept the tens of thousands of infantry in check. Although the Golden Sword Battalion was just able to restrain the cavalry, it had too few troops and was unable to turn the tide.

"General, please quickly transfer the 15,000 Han soldiers stationed outside to support us. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with them."

A general suggested to Gao Shun, and the other generals also looked anxious.

Gao Shun waved his hand and said: "The Han Wu soldiers are clumsy and are being defeated by the light cavalry here. They are bound to die." "This..." The generals were all overwhelmed by the unfavorable battle situation and did not think of this.

At this moment, two "whoosh" sounds were heard, and two sharp arrows shot over at the same time.

"System prompt: Xiahou Yuan initiated the archery. His basic archery skill is 99 points. The three-stone bow increases his archery skill by 1 point. His current comprehensive archery skill is 100 points."

"Huang Zhong initiates archery. His basic archery skill is 100 points. The Five-stone Bow increases his archery skill by 2 points, triggering the special skill 'Bow King', which increases his archery skill by 3 points. His current comprehensive archery skill is 105 points."

"Oh no! Xiahou Yuan took Zhang He's Broken Cloud Bow away from him, so Cao Cao must have given it to Huang Zhong. Gao Shun is in trouble now. What should we do?"

Liu He was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the study, scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Your Majesty?" Xun Yu and Qian Li looked at him with a bewildered look on their faces, not knowing what had happened.

However, Liu He couldn't possibly tell them the system prompt in his mind, otherwise how could he explain it clearly? Moreover, even if he told them, what else could he do? It would only make two more people anxious.

As he spoke, two sharp arrows had already shot in front of Gao Shun.

"General, be careful..."

The several generals around him almost subconsciously took action to resist at the same time.

However, with Xiahou Yuan and Huang Zhong's current archery skills, how could they block it? Most people's weapons had no chance of touching the two sharp arrows. Only the two generals closest to Gao Shun barely blocked the flying arrows.

However, before they had time to be happy, they heard two "ding ding" sounds, and the weapons in their hands were knocked away. Especially the man who blocked the arrow shot by Huang Zhong, the base of his palm was torn open in an instant.

"呲呲..."

Along with the sound of two armors being pierced, two sharp arrows pierced directly into Gao Shun's chest on both sides.

"puff……"

Gao Shun was thrown off the horse's back by the huge force and fell to the ground several steps away.

"Well done, Miaocai and Hansheng, you have made a great contribution!"

Cao Cao, who was watching this scene from a distance, was extremely excited, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

"General..."

"General Gao..."

"Lao Gao..."

All the Han army soldiers, including Zhu Ye, were furious and filled with hatred when they saw this scene.

"Congratulations, my lord." Cheng Yu and others congratulated Cao Cao in unison.

"The death of Gao Shun not only makes the enemy leaderless and easily defeated, but also cuts off an arm of Liu He. After this battle, Zhang Yong is isolated and helpless. Our army can capture Xuchang in one battle and then capture Zhang Yong. By then, the two generals under Liu He and Zhu Ye, the most powerful general, will all be killed in the battle, which will surely destroy his fighting spirit."

"By then, our army's morale will be high, while the enemy's courage will have been lost. The outcome will be decided by this."

Listening to the analysis of his advisers, Cao Cao stroked the tiger's beard and felt extremely proud.

Several generals rushed forward to help Gao Shun up. They saw that the arrow had pierced into his armor, and there was blood at the corner of Gao Shun's mouth. He had already fainted.

A general hurriedly reached out his hand to feel his breath and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the general is not dead. Send a military doctor quickly."

"Alas, where is the military doctor? The logistics team stayed outside the woods with the deputy general and the Han Wu soldiers. But in this situation...how can we rush out?"

"I don't care about that anymore. The five of you, come with me. Take the general with you. The others will be responsible for covering us. We must charge out no matter what. Otherwise, we will die to atone for our sins."

A military commander in Gao Shun's army became so anxious that his eyes turned red and he shouted directly.

The other generals agreed without hesitation.

"My lord, they wanted to lead Gao Shun to break out. It seems that Gao Shun was not shot dead immediately, but is still alive."

Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao glanced at the generals who were carrying Gao Shun and said, "Well, pass the order. Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Ang, each lead 15,000 soldiers and horses. Make sure to stop Gao Shun."

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, the three men immediately assembled their troops and rushed out.

"Old Gao... Damn it, you guys deserve to die!"

Zhu Ye was furious and pushed Dian Wei and Xu Chu with his two hammers, temporarily forcing them to retreat. Then he rushed towards Gao Shun and killed several Cao soldiers he met along the way. He picked up their weapons with his hammers and threw them at Cao Ren and others one by one.

Accompanied by a series of ping-pong noises, Cao Ren and the other two were safe, but many soldiers near them were unlucky. They were hit by those weapons and had their heads broken and bleeding on the spot.

Zhu Ye saw that his throw had missed the target and was about to continue attacking when two strong gusts of wind approached from behind.

In desperation, he had to give up rescuing Gao Shun. He rolled forward on the ground to avoid the attack from behind, and at the same time used his two hammers to knock two stones away.

"Good fellow..." Dian Wei exclaimed and hurriedly used his weapon to resist. Xu Chu also held his machete horizontally.

"Bang bang..."

The two men were hit by the stone and took a step back. At that moment, Zhu Ye turned into a ray of cold light and pounced towards them.
