Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 990 Dian Wei breaks out
Zhu Ye and Dian Wei fought for less than ten rounds before Zhu Ye's hammer knocked Dian Wei back three steps, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

"The force is getting stronger than before." Dian Wei was a little shocked, but in a flash, this shock turned into incomparable excitement.

"Ha, come again!" He turned the two iron halberds in his hands, chopped and stabbed, attacking Zhu Ye.

"Brother Dian, here I come." Xu Chu leaped up, and the Tiger Beast King fell from the sky and struck Zhu Ye's head directly.

"You're here just in time. Today we'll eliminate both of you little thieves."

Zhu Ye showed no sign of weakness. He flipped backwards in the air to avoid Xu Chu's knife attack. At the same time, he kicked Xu Chu with a sweeping kick as Xu Chu just landed on the ground and lost his balance.

"Bang..." Zhu Ye's strong and powerful leg directly hit Xu Chu and kicked him out.

"Tiger Crazy..." Dian Wei strode forward, stretched out his hand to support Xu Chu to prevent him from falling.

After Xu Chu nodded to thank him, the two of them moved forward together and attacked Zhu Ye.

"System prompt: Xu Chu joins the battle. Xu Chu's basic force is 101 points, and his weapons and armor have increased by 2 points. Because the current combat environment is not a mountainous area, the special skill 'Flat Mountain' has not been triggered yet. Xu Chu's comprehensive force is 103 points."

Zhu Ye was calm and composed, dealing with the attacks of the two men with ease, which made him sneer at them again.

"Hehe, if two of you beat me up, I will beat you until you cry for your parents. Trash is trash, no matter how many there are, they are still trash."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were both great generals of their time. How could they not be angry when faced with such humiliation?
"You bastard, I will fight you to the death today!"

Zhu Ye used two consecutive hammer strikes, repelling the two men. At the same time, he rode his horse forward and pressed forward with his two hammers.

"See, I told you two that you are useless, but you still refuse to accept it? What kind of heroes can there be under Cao Laogou's command?"

"How dare you insult my master like this? You are courting death."

"Take a knife."

The two men were furious and attacked Zhu Ye from the left and right, wishing they could tear him into pieces immediately.

"I cursed, what can you do to me? Cao Old Dog, Cao Old Pig, Cao Old Bear, hahahaha... It's refreshing, satisfying, and refreshing..."

Seeing that the two were outnumbered two against one and could not gain the upper hand for the time being, Cao Cao brandished the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and charged forward himself.

"Zhu Ye, you little thief, give me back my Ang'er's life."

When Zhu Ye saw him coming, he was overjoyed: "Haha, you old dog, you came to die on your own, that's the best."

He pretended to rush towards Cao Cao, but Dian Wei and Xu Chu would not let him go and quickly grabbed hold of him.

Zhu Ye was furious and yelled, "Get out of my way."

He used the many spikes on his two hammers to hook the weapons of the two men. Then he gathered his energy into his dantian and pushed forward with all his might. An irresistible force so huge that it pushed Dian Wei and Xu Chu back repeatedly, causing them to almost lose their balance and fall.

By the time the two of them regained their balance, Zhu Ye had already ridden the silver-armored beast all the way to Cao Cao's front.

"Wow, this credit is mine."

Zhu Ye shouted excitedly, and hit Cao Cao on the top of his head with his two hammers.

Cao Cao hurriedly blocked it with the Yitian Sword. The Yitian Sword had a broad blade and was very heavy. It was a magical weapon that could be used for both offense and defense.

However, such a divine sword is no different from an ordinary weapon in front of the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hammer.

Zhu Ye's two hammers struck one after another. The first hammer knocked the Sword of the Heavenly Sword crooked. When the second hammer came, Cao Cao could no longer resist Zhu Ye's powerful force, and he was knocked off the horse's back along with the sword.

"puff……"

Cao Cao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground not far away.

"Hahaha... As expected, the lord of a bunch of useless people is naturally just a useless leader. Look at how I will kindly put an end to your suffering."

Zhu Ye rode forward, lay on the horse's back, and swung forward with the sledgehammer.

If Cao Cao's mortal body was hit head-on by Zhu Ye's hammer, there would be no way for him to survive.

At this moment, Zhu Ye suddenly felt two strong winds coming from the side.

"Don't hurt my master..."

A short spear fell from the sky, accompanied by the sound of wind, and flew from the left side. At the same time, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, like two sharp arrows, had already rushed to not far from Zhu Ye.

"System prompt: Dian Wei has activated a new skill - Personal Guard: When performing a battle to protect someone, his military strength will increase by 3 points. When the lord encounters a fatal crisis, his own military strength will increase by another 2 points."

"Affected by the special skill, Dian Wei's force increased by 3 points. In addition, Cao Cao's life was threatened by Zhu Ye, and Dian Wei's force increased by 2 points again. Dian Wei's current comprehensive force is 119 points."

"Annoying little bug..." Zhu Ye muttered unhappily, and had to give up on Cao Cao, raising his hand and hitting him with a hammer.

"Ding..." The short spear thrown by Dian Wei was knocked away by Zhu Ye's hammer.

Dian Wei suddenly jumped high, caught the short spear directly from mid-air, and then chopped towards Zhu Ye's head.

At the same time, Xu Chu wielded the Tiger Beast King Slash and attacked Zhu Ye's lower abdomen.

The two of them attacked from both sides, making sure not a single flaw could escape.

"Come on." Zhu Ye didn't take the two men seriously at all. He first easily knocked away Xu Chu's sword with a hammer, and then pushed up with both hammers.

"Dang..." After a loud noise, Zhu Ye felt a huge force spreading from his hand to his whole body, which made his chest stuffy and his breathing a little difficult.

"Go to hell." He growled and tried his best to fight off Dian Wei, feeling a little horrified.

"How come this guy's martial arts suddenly improved so much?"

As soon as Dian Wei landed on the ground, his eyes turned red again and he and Xu Chu attacked together.

Zhu Ye quickly put away his underestimation and focused all his attention on fighting the two men.

On Cao Cao's side, several generals and soldiers came over to help him up. He looked at the fierce battle between the three and was pleased. "Well, they really lived up to my efforts, especially Dian Wei, whose martial arts skills seem to be slightly better than Zhu Ye's. This is really commendable."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and muttered to himself: "That man was so powerful in the past, and now he can calm down and teach martial arts, which is really effective. It seems that if I want to defeat Liu He, I should tap into his teaching ability. Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to defeat the many powerful generals under Liu He's command."

At the same time, somewhere in the wilderness, Liu Zheng, Zhuge Liang, Guan Ping and Cheng Yang were galloping on their horses.

Cheng Yang looked confused and kept asking Liu Zheng: "Brother, why do you think we should go to Shenyang City?"

"Brother, didn't you say there's no danger over there? What are we going to do there?"

"Brother, I think there's still a fight in Ancheng. Why don't we go to Ancheng?"

"Big brother..."

"Stop!" Liu Zheng was upset by his question and even felt dizzy, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Alright, alright. I'm afraid of you, Kong Ming. Please explain it to him."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I will obey your orders."

He looked at Cheng Yang and said, "Fourth brother, why don't you use your brain?"

Cheng Yang was not ashamed at all: "My father said that people in our Cheng family are not born to study and use their brains. There are naturally smart people to do the thinking. We are responsible for being obedient and moving forward."

Zhuge Liang was helpless when he heard this: "General Cheng is really... really good at educating children... Well, I will explain it to you."

Cheng Yang immediately pricked up his ears, fearing that he might miss a word, and Guan Ping also looked like he was listening.

"I said before that Shenyang City was not in danger. That was before the defeat of the Jingzhou army. Now the situation is completely different. As I expected, our army will be unstoppable in Ancheng. The more this happens, the more dangerous Shenyang City will be."

"Why?" Cheng Yang asked.

Zhuge Liang said, "It's very simple. After Cao Cao was defeated in Ancheng, he no longer had a strong city in Yuzhou to station and defend. Therefore, he had to quickly capture Shenyang City, then pass through this city and withdraw to Jingzhou to accumulate strength for the next battle. He had previously intended to use Shenyang City to lure out our troops and ambush them. Now that several ambushes have failed, this plan to lure the enemy is naturally out of the question. Why should he waste soldiers outside the city in vain?"

Cheng Yang pursed his lips, not knowing whether he understood or not. Instead, Guan Ping asked, "I understand this, but how did you know that our army would definitely win in Ancheng? You must know that Cao's army has surpassed General Gao Shun in strength after receiving reinforcements from Cai Mao."

Zhuge Liang reined in his horse, and the other three also hurriedly stopped.

He waved his feather fan and took a few breaths, then continued, "This is not hard to guess. General Zhang and General Gao have already set up an ambush that will be enough to kill Cao Cao. I predict that this ambush will suddenly appear in the final battle of Ancheng. In this way, Cao Cao's army will definitely be defeated."

"Ambush? Where do we get the ambush? The Cao bandits are defending the city. Even if we have ambush, can we still ambush them in the city?" Cheng Yang was full of confusion.

"Hahahaha...even though our army can't get in, we can still get Cao thieves out."

Zhuge Liang's words made Cheng Yang and Guan Ping even more puzzled.

Zhuge Liang looked at their expressions and did not keep them in suspense: "Don't you realize that the war has progressed to this point, and all the generals deployed by the court in Yuzhou have appeared, but there is only one person missing."

After hearing what he said, the two of them pondered for a moment, and then suddenly shouted, "Ah, I know, it's Uncle Five. Uncle Five hasn't shown up yet."

"Yes, it is General Zhu Ye." Zhuge Liang said, "General Zhu Ye is known as the most powerful general in the imperial army. Since he is in Yuzhou, why has he never been seen fighting in the bloody battles for many consecutive days? Isn't this against common sense? Therefore, I infer that he must have made some plans with Generals Zhang and Gao."

"What plan?" the two asked curiously.

"The five hundred Thunder God Cavalry led by General Zhu Ye come and go like the wind, and their movements are extremely swift. Although their numbers are small, their combat effectiveness is the best in the army. Even General Guan's Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry is no match for the Thunder God Cavalry if they have the same number of troops. Such troops are most suitable for surprise attacks."

Guan Ping asked, "So, second brother, where do you think Uncle Wu led his troops to raid?"

Zhuge Liang thought about it, dismounted, broke off a branch from a big tree on the roadside, and drew a few circles on the ground.

"This is Ancheng... This is Shenyang City, this is Shangcai City, this is Xinmang Valley where General Gao defeated the enemy's ambush..."

"Wei Yan is aloof and ambitious by nature. After his defeat in Xinmang Valley, he would not go back to see Cao Cao directly. Instead, he would flee to a nearby city with sufficient troops and regroup, hoping to join forces with Cao Cao to attack General Gao Shun who was coming to attack the city. In this way, he could not only avoid the humiliation of the defeat in Xinmang Valley, but also make great achievements and become famous."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, several people nodded repeatedly, some of them were intoxicated.

"Among the few cities in Yuzhou that Cao Cao still controls, only this one best meets Wei Yan's requirements."

He used a branch to draw a circle on the east side of Ancheng.

Liu Zheng quickly said, "It's Xincai County."

"Yes, this is the place." Zhuge Liang threw the branch away and waved the feather fan again.

"However, I am sure that Xincai County must have fallen into the hands of General Zhu Ye. I am afraid that Wei Yan has already become General Zhu's prisoner."

"Great job." Guan Ping praised, "General Zhu captured Wei Yan and used his military seal to communicate with Cao Cao, making Cao Cao think that Wei Yan would lead the city's defenders to help Ancheng. Who knew it was General Zhu who came? When Cao Cao left the city and tried to attack General Gao, Uncle Wu turned the tables and Cao Cao was naturally defeated."

"Ah... So that's how it is. I understand." Cheng Yang also suddenly realized.

Zhuge Liang continued, "It was precisely because Cao Cao was sure that he would win Ancheng that he dared to easily transfer Cai Mao away from the front line just because we and Pang Degong visited Cai Mao late at night. Otherwise, with Cao Cao's character, even if he had doubts in his heart, he would never do such a thing as changing the commander in the middle of a battle."

"Second brother is truly a god. He has grasped Cao's mind so thoroughly. I am completely convinced."

"No wonder my second brother traveled thousands of miles to visit that bird Pang Degong. It turns out it was for this."

"Haha, my father knew Mr. Pang De in his early years, so I took the risk and tried it. It's not worth mentioning."

Although Zhuge Liang said this, Guan Ping and Cheng Yang still looked at him with admiration.

"Then what's the point of the four of us going to Shenyang City?" Cheng Yang asked another question.

This time, Zhuge Liang did not say it clearly, but smiled mysteriously: "Well...haha, you will know it when the time comes."

Cheng Yang wanted to ask more, but Liu Zheng slapped him on the forehead: "Ask, ask, ask, you only know how to ask. Hurry up and get on with your journey, otherwise you will miss something important."

Cheng Yang stuck out his tongue and stopped asking questions.
