Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 956 Catching a turtle in a urn
The Flying Eagle Guards were omnipresent, and had already infiltrated every corner of Yuzhou in the past few years. At this moment, these Flying Eagle Guards suddenly launched an attack, leaving the Cao army defending the city at a loss.

"Quick, stop them, don't let them open the city gate..."

Xiahou Dun held a spear and rushed down the city wall himself to lead the army to resist.

"Here comes your death, you thief."

He aimed at Fang Mu who was rushing in the front and stabbed him with his gun.

Fang Mu had been undercover in Yuzhou for a long time, so he naturally recognized him. However, even when facing this general of Cao's army, he was not afraid at all. He raised the Soul-Hunting Sword in his hand, with the blade facing upwards, and slashed at Xiahou Dun.

"Hmm? You have some martial arts skills." Xiahou Dun was surprised to see that the opponent chose a very precise angle for his attack. Then he swung his spear downwards and hit the opponent's attacking sword.

With a "pa..." sound, Fang Mu felt that the long sword in his hand was about to slip out of his hand.

"Great Xiahou Dun, the shadow of a man and the bark of a tree are indeed true."

While he was thinking, Xiahou Dun's second shot had already stabbed in front of him. Fang Mu was startled and quickly did a somersault to avoid it.

Just as his feet landed on the ground again, Fang Mu pressed a button on the hilt of the knife, and then the blade of the Soul-Hunting and Deadly Knife suddenly broke away from the hilt and flew straight towards Xiahou Dun.

"What? What is this?" Xiahou Dun was shocked and quickly held the spear upright in front of him while leaning to the side.

"Swish..." The blade flew past the gun barrel, creating sparks.

"What a strange sword." Xiahou Dun exclaimed secretly, and then with lightning speed, he swung the spear forward, just in time to wrap the chain that was holding the blade around the spear shaft.

"Come here." He shouted angrily, and suddenly exerted force with his arms to snatch the soul-chasing and life-taking knife from Fang Mu's hands.

"My knife..." Fang Mu was shocked, but Xiahou Dun followed closely and stabbed him with his gun, forcing him to give up trying to take back the weapon and jump to the side with a few quick steps.

He casually snatched a big knife from a Cao army soldier, joined forces with the other thousand Flying Eagle Guards, bypassed Xiahou Dun and charged towards the city gate.

"Don't even think about opening the city gate."

Xiahou Dun pursued closely.

Teams of soldiers ran down from the city wall and blocked the way of the Flying Eagle Guards.

Fang Mu sneered, "Humph, relying on these rotten things? Brothers, let them see what our Flying Eagle Guards are capable of."

"Yes!"

More than a thousand Flying Eagle Guards shouted in unison, and then a thousand long swords chopped forward in unison.

"Dang...dang..."

After a series of crisp sounds, the weapons of the Cao army soldiers at the city gate broke one after another, and Xiahou Dun, who was chasing after them, was shocked again.

"These people's weapons are so sharp?"

How could he know that the Eagle Guards were a secret unit directly under Liu He, and each member had first-rate intelligence gathering, camouflage, and martial arts. If they were placed in the army, they could at least be a lieutenant, not to mention a general. Moreover, Liu He was not stingy with this unit, and weapons, armor, war horses, as well as pigeons and eagles, all cost a huge amount of money.

Each member of the Flying Eagle Guards was equipped with a weapon that could increase their martial power by 1 point, and the You brothers had the King of Soldiers and the King of Armor by their side. These two extremely ferocious golden eagles were also beasts and birds of the King of Beasts level, just like the Black King.

It is naturally impossible for these long swords to cut off the weapons in Xiahou Dun's hands, but the weapons of ordinary soldiers of Cao's army are inferior to those of Han's soldiers. How can they withstand the chopping of these sharp weapons?

In just one encounter, the weapons of hundreds of Cao's soldiers were chopped in half.

"Get out of the way..." Fang Mu dropped his weapon. It was difficult to cut off the opponent's weapon with this ordinary weapon, but his martial arts were also good. He chopped off the head of a Cao soldier with his backhand, then rushed out and headed straight for the city gate.

Even Cao Cao, who was on the tower, was shocked. "Liu He actually created so many magical weapons. The long swords in these people's hands are comparable to the golden swords of the Golden Sword Battalion. This intelligence unit actually has such a powerful force?"

He originally thought that this secret force under Liu He's command was only good at gathering information, but this scene made him completely change his view.

Even he was so shocked, not to mention the Cao army soldiers, who were all shocked. Taking advantage of this gap, Fang Mu led more than a thousand Flying Eagle Guards, hacking and killing a group of Cao soldiers guarding the city gate, and rushed directly to the huge rocks blocking the city gate.

"move!"

Fang Mu shouted without hesitation, and more than a thousand Flying Eagle Guards left hundreds of them to form a defensive formation and block the city gate. The remaining group of people, together with Fang Mu, quickly moved the huge rocks.

"Charge forward, and don't let them open the city gate..."

Xiahou Dun shouted loudly and led his troops to attack. Thousands of Cao's troops immediately fought with hundreds of Flying Eagle Guards.

Fortunately, the terrain at the city gate was narrow, and although Cao's army was large in numbers, they were unable to form a siege. Instead, the Flying Eagle Guards took advantage of the terrain and the power of the battle formation, which caused heavy casualties to Cao's army.

The Eagle Guard soldiers acted quickly and soon cleared away all the boulders.

Xiahou Dun was panicked: "Oh no."

In extreme anxiety, he no longer cared about anything else. He waved his spear and rushed directly into the formation of the Flying Eagle Guard.

He used his spear skills, flying up and down. Even though the Flying Eagle Guards were extremely powerful, with only a few hundred people, they could not stop him at all.

However, even so, he was still a step too slow. Fang Mu chopped open the door bolt, which had already been cracked by the impact of the fire beast, and then he and another Flying Eagle Guard slowly opened the two iron doors.

The city gates were wide open, and after seeing the Han army outside, Fang Mu and others cried for joy.

"General Zhang, hurry... hurry into the city..."

Fang Mu waved his hands and shouted loudly at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong was overjoyed when he saw this: "Great, the Flying Eagle Guard succeeded. Soldiers, charge into the city!"

Except for a part of the tens of thousands of troops who continued to climb the city walls and entangle the defenders, the rest of the troops all rushed towards the city gate.

Zhang Yong patted the Red Hare under his crotch and rushed forward impatiently.

However, just as he was about to enter the city gate, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiahou Dun, who had been in a hurry before, suddenly retreating. Not only him, but all the Cao troops in the city gate also retreated.

"Hmm? Weird... Logically, they should have guarded the city gates and prevented our army from entering the city..."

Zhang Yong instinctively felt alert.

Seeing his soldiers charging into the city in batches, and Xiahou Dun not only did not come to stop them, but retreated further and further away, Cao Cao and others on the city wall were also unmoved. This made Zhang Yong suddenly have a horrifying thought.

"Oops, I fell into a trap!"

He immediately turned around and shouted to the messenger behind him: "Quick... Sound the horn to call back the troops..."

However, before the messenger could figure out what was happening, he saw groups of Cao's troops suddenly rushing out from the streets and houses in all directions of the city.

The Han soldiers and the Golden Sword Camp were caught off guard and killed. They had just seized the city gate when they were surrounded by Cao's army again.

Fang Mu also understood now, and he hurriedly called out to the Flying Eagle Guards: "The enemy is well prepared, we must guard the city gate, otherwise...ah..."

Before he could finish his words, a sharp arrow appeared out of nowhere and pierced his chest.

"Puff..." Fang Mu spurted blood, fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Through the city gate, Zhang Yong saw a man appear not far inside the city.

"Huang Zhong!"

Huang Zhong and Xiahou Dun stood side by side, looking at him with mockery on their faces.

After Fang Mu's death, the Flying Eagle Guards were leaderless and the city gate was soon lost.

"Squeak..."

Cao's soldiers rushed over, pushed the city gate, and slowly closed it again. Zhang Yong watched helplessly as many of his soldiers, as well as the Flying Eagle Guards, were trapped in the city.

But as a general of the Han army after all, Zhang Yong soon woke up from his shock. He looked at the city gate that was about to close and shouted loudly.

"Someone, come quickly... break open the city gate..."

The fire beast approached again, and when the city gate was about to be closed again, it spewed out a huge flame.

The flames came out from the cracks in the city gate and ignited the armor of the Cao army soldiers on both sides. Out of instinct, the two men immediately let go of the city gate and rolled on the ground to put out the fire.

However, there were only three people working hard to push forward each city gate. Now, one person's strength was suddenly missing. The fire beast immediately launched a fierce attack, directly knocking the remaining two people away.

However, before Zhang Yong had time to be happy, several sharp arrows were shot out from the city, and the Han soldiers responsible for advancing on both sides of the fire beast were pierced through the throat. The fire beast's swift offensive was naturally halted.

"I come!"

Xiahou Dun stepped forward bravely, and while the fire beast stopped attacking, he took two steps at a time and reached the city gate. He pushed the gate with both hands, shouted loudly, and slowly closed the heavy iron gate.

"Thief, look at the gun!"

Zhang Yong personally stepped forward with a spear and stabbed Xiahou Dun in the chest, trying to stop him from closing the city gate.

However, before Xiahou Dun could react, Huang Zhong raised his hand and shot another arrow. Zhang Yong had no choice but to dodge.

However, Huang Zhong's archery skills were so superb that just as he dodged one arrow, the second arrow followed closely behind, almost sticking to the edge of the city gate. Zhang Yong quickly rolled back and barely avoided it.

But just after he stood up again, he found that the city gate had been closed again.

"what……"

"General Zhang..."

From the inside of the city gate, there were soon continuous screams and cries for help. Zhang Yong's eyes were about to burst as he listened to these sounds.

"Bump it! Bang it open!
The screams from inside continued, but no matter how the fire beasts hit the city gate, it did not move at all.

Zhang Yong felt that he had never felt so powerless before. He angrily hit the city gate with his spear, but how could he shake it at all?
Cao Cao on the tower looked relaxed and happy at this moment: "Zhongde's plan of luring the enemy into a trap is really brilliant. Now there are at least 20,000 soldiers under Zhang Yong, who are already trapped in the jar. After killing these 20,000 people, not only can we greatly damage the enemy's strength, but also crush the enemy's morale. It is indeed the best strategy."

Cheng Yu bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, my lord. I am honored."

Guo Jia said: "My lord, we should take advantage of the victory now. While Zhang Yong's morale is greatly reduced, we should take the initiative to go out of the city to fight. In this way, the enemy will retreat. Once Zhang Yong retreats, Gao Shun will also retreat, and the city will be safe."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay. Pass the order. Xiahou Dun and Huang Zhong, go out of the east gate. Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong, go out of the south gate. The rest of the soldiers, continue to guard the city gates. Don't make any mistakes."

Gao Shun, who was sitting outside the north gate and commanding the siege on the city, suddenly received a battle report from the east gate. His expression changed slightly.

Xun You, who was beside him, also took a look at the battle report and exclaimed, "What a trick! The army at the East Gate has been cut into two by Cao Cao. Now that Xiahou Dun and Huang Zhong are rushing out of the city, how can they not be defeated? Our army should rush to the East Gate to help, so as to prevent General Zhang from getting into trouble."

Gao Shun did not hesitate at all. He immediately called several generals and ordered them to lead 20,000 troops to attack the east gate.

But how could he hide his every move from Cao Cao's eyes and ears?

"Haha, just as expected, Gao Shun sent people to help us."

Cao Cao's face was full of joy, and he seemed very satisfied with Gao Shun's reaction.

Guo Jia said: "In this case, we can proceed to the next step of planning."

"Well, that's well said." Cao Cao received the battle report and immediately gave the order.

"Gao Shun sent troops to rescue us. The north gate is empty. Where is Cao Ren?"

"The end will be here."

"You are responsible for guarding the city. I will lead the troops myself and go out of the city to meet Gao Shun."

After saying this, Cao Cao didn't care about everyone's reaction. With a "clang", he drew out the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and headed straight for the north gate. Several generals did not dare to disobey him and hurriedly followed him.

"Squeak..."

Just as Gao Shun was still attacking the city wall, he saw the city gate suddenly open. He looked closely and was shocked.

"Cao Cao..."

Cao Cao personally led a team of cavalry and a group of infantry, rushed out of the city, and headed straight for the Hualuo umbrella canopy where he, the commander-in-chief, was.

"Cao Cao is so good! He personally went out of the city to fight. How could the enemy soldiers not fight to the death?"

Xun You exclaimed in admiration. And the fact was just as he expected, whether it was the soldiers who followed Cao Cao out of the city, or the Cao army who continued to defend the city on the city wall, they were all very excited at this moment, raising their arms and shouting, with high morale.

Cao Cao shouted at Gao Shun from afar, "Gao Shun, I was defeated by you in the battle of Chenliu. Today, I want to avenge my defeat. Come on!"

He wielded the Yitian Sword and chopped repeatedly, killing more than a dozen Han soldiers who were attacking the city outside. The army behind him rushed to the front of the well-locked chariots, fire beasts, stone-breaking heavy crossbows and thunder chariots.

Although these siege weapons were extremely powerful, they were also difficult to move and were heavy. Faced with the sudden attack by Cao's army, especially the harassment from the cavalry, they quickly became sitting ducks and were dismantled by Cao's army into piles of wood.

Gao Shun took a deep breath and stared at Cao Cao. He clenched the Aoxue Plum Blossom Spear tightly in his right hand but hesitated to make a move. Xun You seemed to understand his intention and stood aside without saying a word or asking a question.
