Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 952: Generals Fight
Xiahou Yuan held his spear horizontally to block a group of Han soldiers who wanted to pursue Cao Cao.

"Yuan Rang, Han Sheng, hold back the enemy and don't let them catch up with the lord. Dian Wei, you and Xu Chu quickly escort the lord away."

Seeing Xu Huang's army coming in full force, everyone understood the current situation and naturally had no objection to Xiahou Yuan's arrangements.

Dian Wei brought a group of personal guards and called Xu Chu, whose wounds had been bandaged, to guard Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others on both sides and evacuated quickly.

"Cao, don't run away..."

Zhang Yong waved his axe and was about to chase and kill him, but how could Xiahou Yuan let him go?

"Your opponent is me, look at the gun."

Zhang Yong's martial arts was originally slightly inferior to Xiahou Yuan's. Now he was distracted by wanting to chase Cao Cao, which naturally exposed his flaws. Xiahou Yuan seized the opportunity and stabbed him with a spear. Fortunately, Zhang Yong dodged in time, and only the outer layer of his armor was torn.

"That was a close call..." Zhang Yong sighed secretly.

"If you want to chase my lord, ask me first." Xiahou Yuan's spear was like a dragon, and he approached again.

Zhu Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Help me get on the horse. I... cough cough cough... cough cough... I want to chase... cough cough cough..."

Gao Shun tried to dissuade him, "Dehui, don't be so stubborn. You and I... ahem... you and I should withdraw from the battle as soon as possible and heal our wounds. Otherwise... ahem... it will only cause more trouble."

Even though Zhu Ye was extremely unwilling, he had to admit that Gao Shun was right. He looked angrily in the direction where Cao Cao fled, turned around helplessly, and under the escort of a group of Thundergod Knights, came to an open area not far away. Several military doctors quickly stepped forward to bandage their wounds.

Xiahou Yuan shouted, "Yuan Rang, Han Sheng, Gao Shun and Zhu Ye are no longer to be feared. Help me capture Zhang Yong. If we capture this man, there will be a chance of turning this battle around."

Xiahou Dun and Huang Zhong immediately left their opponents behind, ran to Xiahou Yuan, and joined forces with him to fight Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong already had difficulty dealing with Xiahou Yuan alone, and with the addition of Xiahou Dun and Huang Zhong, Zhang Yong was soon overwhelmed and suffered repeated defeats.

"Take my sword." Huang Zhong frowned and his long beard, which had already turned a little white, trembled in the air. While Zhang Yong's axe was blocked by the Xiahou brothers, he aimed the phoenix-beak sword in his hand straight at Zhang Yong's crown.

"Traitor, don't hurt General Zhang."

Xu Huang shouted loudly, rode his horse forward, and swung the Wutang Xuanhua Axe in his hand from bottom to top.

"Dang..." The axe and the sword collided, the phoenix-beak sword was directly swept away, and Xu Huang also felt pain in the palm of his hand.

"What a veteran! He is so old, but he still has such martial arts skills."

Xu Huang was secretly surprised and began to look at Huang Zhong, a seemingly ordinary veteran, with a new respect.

Huang Zhong was also very surprised. He looked at Xu Huang for a few times and thought to himself, "This Xu Huang is also very skilled in martial arts. Liu He has many strong men under his command. When I, Huang Zhong, was in Jingzhou, I traveled all over the country without any rivals. Now I can realize my ambition and compete with all the masters in the world."

Although he was nearly fifty years old, he felt his heart surging at this moment, as if he had returned to his passionate youth.

"Good enemy general, take another blow."

The phoenix-beaked sword came slashing across, and Xu Huang swung out an axe to block Huang Zhong's attack. At the same time, he shouted to Zhang Yong: "General Zhang, I have long admired your great reputation. Today, I am honored to fight alongside you."

Zhang Yong forced a smile and said, "Okay, I heard from my elder brother that there are only you and I in the army who practice the "Heavenly Gang Disha Axe" together. My elder brother once said that this axe technique requires the cooperation of two people to have the greatest power. Today is a good opportunity to verify it."

Then, he shouted loudly and angrily picked up the two spears of the Xiahou brothers, while Xu Huang also swung away Huang Zhong's phoenix-beak knife at the same time. The two axes, one on the left and one on the right, launched a counterattack together.

"System prompt: Zhang Yong and Xu Huang team up to fight against Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Huang Zhong."

"Zhang Yong's basic military 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' is triggered, and the military strength increases by 4 points. The current comprehensive military strength is 103 points."

"Xu Huang's basic force is 95 points. His weapons, armor, and mounts have increased by 3 points in total. Xu Huang has learned a new skill - Long Drive: When leading the army to advance and launch a surprise attack, the army's mobility is improved and his own command is improved by 4 points. After entering the battle phase, the morale of his soldiers is improved and his own force is increased by 4 points. Xu Huang's current comprehensive force is 102 points."

"Zhang Yong and Xu Huang have been practicing the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Axe together, and both have reached a very proficient state. The two fight side by side, triggering the temporary combination stunt 'Qian Kun Axe', and their martial arts strength increases by 3 points."

"Affected by this temporary combination stunt, Zhang Yong's overall strength increased to 106 points, and Xu Huang's overall strength increased to 105 points."

"Xiahou Yuan's basic force is 96 points. Because his armor is destroyed, there is no armor bonus. His weapons and mounts are increased by 2 points in total. Since he is now separated from the light cavalry he led before and fighting on his own, his special skill 'Sprint' is invalid. Xiahou Yuan's current comprehensive force is 98 points."

"Xiahou Dun's basic strength is 97 points. His armor has also been damaged. His weapons and mounts have increased by 2 points in total. His special skill 'Rage' has been triggered. The current level of rage increases his strength by 3 points. Xiahou Dun's current comprehensive strength is 102 points."

"Huang Zhong's basic force is 102 points, his weapon is upgraded by 1 point, and his special skill 'Mature' is triggered. Because his main opponent is Xu Huang, Huang Zhong is currently 46 years old, and has been over 40 for 6 years, so his force is increased by 2 points. Huang Zhong is 13 years older than Xu Huang, so Xu Huang's force is reduced by 4 points."

"Huang Zhong's current comprehensive military strength is 105 points, and Xu Huang's comprehensive military strength is reduced to 101 points."

"In addition, affected by the temporary special skill of 'Five Tigers in Battle', Dian Wei and Xu Chu left, and Xiahou Dun and the other three fought together. Their martial arts increased by 1 point. Xiahou Dun's comprehensive martial arts became 103 points, Xiahou Yuan's comprehensive martial arts became 99 points, and Huang Zhong's comprehensive martial arts became 106 points."

Three against two, Xiahou Dun and others quickly gained the upper hand again.

Xun You stayed beside Gao Shun and Zhu Ye, watching the battle situation change with his brows becoming more and more furrowed.

"Xiahou Dun and the others have improved their martial arts so rapidly in such a short period of time. It's strange... It's really strange..."

"Yeah, ahem..." Zhu Ye took a big sip of water, regained some strength, and said with a face full of resentment: "In the last battle, I alone injured Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei and Xu Chu. This time, I only faced Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and I was injured like this. It's really unbelievable. If it weren't for the fact that their martial arts suddenly became so strong, how could Cao Cao be so arrogant in this battle?"

He was so angry that he couldn't help but punch the big tree next to him, but this also tore the wound that had just been bandaged again, causing him to gasp in pain.

"General Zhu, do not act rashly. Take this elixir specially made by Mr. Hua Tuo first. It will be very helpful for healing your wounds and restoring your strength."

A military doctor took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a light yellow pill, and handed it to Zhu Ye. Zhu Ye was naturally familiar with this pill, and without hesitation, he took it and swallowed it in one gulp, hoping to recover a little more strength so that he could go forward to help.

In a blink of an eye, the five men had fought for dozens of rounds. Although the three Cao soldiers had the upper hand in the five-man battle, the surrounding armies were the opposite, gradually showing a one-sided trend. With the addition of Xu Huang's army, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, while the morale of the Cao army had already suffered a blow. Now that Cao Cao had retreated, the army's fighting spirit was even lower. How could such an army defeat the Han army?
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan immediately became anxious: "Yuan Rang, Han Sheng, it seems that our army has been defeated. The lord must have gone far away. We should also evacuate quickly."

Huang Zhong said disdainfully: "I will never be the general of a defeated army. If you two generals want to leave, go ahead. I will not stop until I kill or capture an enemy general today."

After he finished speaking, his Phoenix-beak knife's attack became even more fierce, and Xu Huang soon found it difficult to resist.

"Ha..." Huang Zhong growled and chopped down fiercely with his phoenix-beak knife. Xu Huang hurriedly blocked it with the axe handle, but Huang Zhong used all his strength in this attack. The big knife directly pressed down on the axe handle and pressed it tightly on Xu Huang's shoulder.

"Swish..." The sound of the blade rubbing against the axe handle makes people tremble.

The phoenix-beak knife scratched across Xu Huang's axe handle, erasing sparks. Before Xu Huang could counterattack, Huang Zhong swung the phoenix-beak knife around his body and, with great force, chopped it again at Xu Huang's waist.

"Gongming, be careful..." Zhang Yong exclaimed and hurriedly took action to block the knife for Xu Huang.

"Take care of yourself first." Xiahou Dun raised his eyebrows and thrust out with his spear. Zhang Yong quickly freed his left hand, drew out his sword, and split the spear head with one sword.

"I'll come too." Xiahou Yuan followed closely, and his spear pierced in front of Zhang Yong like lightning.

"Huh..." Zhang Yong had no choice but to fall backwards. Although he avoided the attack, it also allowed Huang Zhong to easily get rid of his entanglement and attack Xu Huang again.

Seeing that the two were struggling to hold on and were about to be unable to resist, Zhu Ye no longer cared about his injuries. He had just recovered some strength, so he raised his two hammers and rushed out on his own two legs without riding a horse.

"Wow... take this blow from me..."

"System prompt: Zhu Ye joins the battle. Zhu Ye's basic force is 99 points. Due to serious injuries, his force is reduced by 12 points. The golden armor is a little damaged, so the force bonus is reduced to 1 point. The soldier king bonus is 2 points. The special skill 'bravery' is triggered, and the force is increased by 8 points."

"Trigger the special skill 'Golden Hammer', and increase the force by 2 points."

"Trigger the special skill 'Thunder', increase your force by 3 points, and ignore all enemy special skills that weaken your special effects."

"In summary, Zhu Ye's current comprehensive force is 102 points."

"In addition, Zhu Ye and Zhang Yong triggered the temporary combination skill of 'Golden Orchid', and their martial arts strength increased by 1 point each. Zhu Ye's comprehensive martial arts strength became 103 points, and Zhang Yong's comprehensive martial arts strength became 107 points."

Huang Zhong was about to chop Xu Huang with his sword when he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming towards him from behind. He was frightened and quickly turned around to block it.

The Phoenix-beaked Knife was hit by the double hammers continuously, causing Huang Zhong to almost drop the weapon: "Good Zhu Ye, even though he was so seriously injured, he is still so brave."

While he was still in amazement, Zhu Ye's second hammer attacked again. Huang Zhong did not dare to be careless and resisted with all his strength. Xu Huang, who was beaten to the point of having almost no power to fight back, was able to catch his breath.

He looked at Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye, and saw that although Zhu Ye was obviously no match for Huang Zhong due to his injuries, he could still hold on for a while. But Zhang Yong was in danger, so he hurriedly swung his axe to help.

The two sides were three against three, and all six of them were top-notch masters of the time. They fought for sixty or seventy rounds, but it was still difficult to determine the winner.

At this time, after Hao Yi, Chang Sheng, Yi Luo and others led their troops to kill a large number of Cao's troops, he saw the fierce battle between Zhang Yong and others. At the same time, he also saw Gao Shun lying under a tree not far away, covered in blood and almost unable to move. He couldn't help but feel furious and his blood boiling.

Gao Shun was his biological father. Although he was extremely strict with him since he was young, Hao Yi knew very well that this was a sign of deep love and severe discipline. Especially after his experience in the army in recent years, he understood his father's good intentions even more. If he had not been so strict with him since he was young and allowed him to learn more skills, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.

But on the other hand, as a passionate young man, seeing such a rare and unprecedented battle, how could he not be fascinated and moved as a military general?
"How dare you hurt my father... How dare you hurt my father... I will kill you..."

Hao Yi shouted and thrust his spear directly at Xiahou Yuan.

"Huh, what?" Xiahou Yuan originally thought that there were no outstanding generals in the enemy army, so he naturally would not deliberately guard against other people. Now, this sudden shot made him unable to defend himself.

In a hurry, he drew back his spear, trying to block Hao Yi's attack, but Zhang Yong was quick-witted and aimed at his open chest and chopped it off with an axe.

"Miaocai, be careful..." Xiahou Dun hurriedly thrust out his spear, but how could his hasty attack stop Zhang Yong's full-strength attack?
Xiahou Dun's spear was knocked away, and the remaining force of Zhang Yong's axe hit Xiahou Yuan.

"Puff..." Xiahou Yuan was seriously injured and flew off the horse. The wound on his chest kept bleeding and Xiahou Yuan immediately fell into a coma.

"You thief, I'm going to kill you." Hao Yi rushed to him and stabbed him with his gun.

"No...no..." Gao Shun shouted hurriedly when he saw this scene, but it was too late.

"You little thief, you don't know whether you live or die!" Xiahou Dun was furious when he saw that his brother was so seriously injured and was taken advantage of by such an unknown person. He knocked Hao Yi's weapon away with a spear, then rode forward, raised his foot, and kicked Hao Yi out.

"Wow..." Hao Yi spurted blood from his mouth, fell to the ground, and fainted.

"General Xiahou..." Huang Zhong was shocked and made a feint with his sword, forcing Zhu Ye and Xu Huang to retreat. Then he picked up Xiahou Yuan and threw him onto the horse behind him.

"General Xiahou, please retreat..."

Huang Zhong and Xiahou Dun immediately led the remaining troops and retreated at high speed.

Zhu Ye was enjoying the killing and just as he was about to chase after his enemy, several of his wounds burst open again. He grimaced in pain and could not hold the two hammers in his hands anymore, so they fell directly to the ground.

"Fifth brother..." Zhang Yong hurriedly supported him, "Fifth brother, don't worry. Cao Cao has been badly wounded after this defeat. We should return to the city to rest and then make plans to advance."

At this time, Gao Shun, supported by several soldiers, stumbled to Hao Yi and held him in his arms.

Xu Huang was very surprised and asked, "General Gao, this man is a young general in my army. I wonder why you are so kind to him?"

"General Xu, you don't know this." Zhang Yong walked up to him and said, "To be honest, Hao Yi is actually Gao Yi, the only son of Bo Ping."

"Ah?" Xu Huang was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
