Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 996 Sun Jian Ascends the City
After the two fought hard for twenty rounds, Xu Huang gradually gained the upper hand and suppressed Sun Ce to the point where he had almost no power to fight back. This made Sun Ce, who had always been arrogant, very angry.

"A man's shadow is like a tree's bark. Xu Huang is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Sun Ce, unwilling to give in, clenched his teeth and increased the strength in his hands.

"System prompt: Sun Ce and Xu Huang have fought for 1 rounds. Due to the blessing of the 'Divine Bravery' skill, Sun Ce's military strength has increased by 103 point. The current comprehensive military strength has become points."

Now it was Xu Huang's turn to be secretly frightened.

"This little boy Sun Ce is so young, but he has such martial arts skills. It's really impressive. If he continues to grow, he will sooner or later become a worry for your majesty. We must get rid of him today."

Thinking of this, Xu Huang raised his axe from below with all his strength and chopped directly at Sun Ce's mount, trying to kill his horse and knock him to the ground.

Sun Ce became anxious, and while pulling the reins, he stretched out his Overlord Spear to try to block the attack.

"Dang Cang..."

With a huge force, Xu Huang's axe almost knocked Sun Ce's Overlord Spear away. Although Sun Ce managed to hold the weapon, the base of his right hand was almost broken by the shock.

"Hiss..." Sun Ce gasped in pain.

"You are indeed a powerful fellow. I, Young General, will not accompany you today."

After saying this, he spurred his horse and rode away. But how could Xu Huang let go when he saw victory was in sight?
"Don't run away, little thief. Leave your head behind."

Xu Huang stepped on his mount and hurried after him.

Qian Zhao on the tower suddenly became anxious: "Gongming, don't chase the desperate enemy...Gongming..."

He shouted loudly, but the siege was so noisy that Xu Huang had already run more than a hundred steps out of the city gate. How could he hear the voice of a mere one man like him?
Seeing Xu Huang chasing Sun Ce further and further away, Qian Zhao hurriedly called over a general, "Quick, lead 3,000 cavalrymen out of the city to bring back General Xu."

"I obey your command." When the general was about to run down the city wall, he suddenly heard another burst of shouting and killing coming from outside the city.

Qian Zhao's heart instinctively tightened, and after looking in the direction of the sound, his face changed.

"Zhou Yu..."

Outside the city, Zhou Yu and Han Dang, each leading a troop, attacked from the left and right sides of the city.

It was obvious that these two men had been planning this for a long time and were well prepared. They suddenly rushed out at this moment and moved extremely swiftly. Before Qian Zhao could react, the army had already rushed to the city gate.

"Hahahaha... Qian Zhao, you've fallen into my trap. Why don't you open the city and surrender immediately?"

Sun Jian laughed wildly.

Qian Zhao clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Sun Jian... I didn't expect this guy to use his own son as bait to lure Gong Ming out of the city, and then let Zhou Yu and Han Dang lead the army to block Gong Ming's way back to the city. Hateful... Really hateful!"

He looked into the distance and saw Sun Ce, who had been fleeing, suddenly make a comeback. About two miles outside the city, the two men started fighting again.

Xu Huang blocked Sun Ce's surprise attack and sneered, "Hey, you have some tricks, but do you think you can stop me with this? With your little tricks, I will kill you first, and then see if Sun Jian can still remain so calm."

Sun Ce showed no fear: "Well, we didn't fight well before, now it's a good opportunity for me to take down a famous general like you with my own hands, and my name, Sun Ce, will be known all over the world from now on."

"System prompt: Sun Ce and Xu Huang have fought for another twenty rounds. With the blessing of the 'Divine Bravery' skill, Sun Ce has increased his strength by 1 point. His current comprehensive strength has become 104 points."

Xu Huang was secretly anxious: "Why is this Sun Ce kid getting more and more courageous? If he continues like this, after a few dozen rounds, will he turn the tables on me? What should I do?"

He was anxious, but Sun Ce was extremely proud. Xu Huang had made a great name for himself in recent years, and his status in the Luoyang court's army was second only to Guan Yu and the other four sworn brothers of the emperor. If he captured or killed him today, he would become famous all over the world, and no one would dare to underestimate his name "Sun Ce" anymore.

Thinking of this, the young and energetic Sun Ce was even more excited.

Under the city wall, the armies of Sun Jian, Zhou Yu and Han Dang merged together and formally launched the final offensive against the city.

"Pass on my order. The first person to break through the city gate, or to fight his way into the city from the city wall and open the city gate, will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted three ranks."

Sun Jian raised his arm and called out, which aroused the enthusiasm and high morale of the hundreds of thousands of troops. Then, Sun Jian took the lead, wielding the ancient ingot knife and climbing up the ladder himself.

"My Lord, you don't have to take the risk yourself. Let me and others do it for you."

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others hurried to dissuade him.

Sun Jian brushed them off and said resolutely: "A real man should not be afraid of swords and axes when he is on the battlefield. How can you convince the people if you do so? Demou, you are in charge of commanding the army. I will personally go up to the city wall and take Qian Zhao's head."

After saying this, without waiting for Cheng Pu and the others to say anything, Sun Jian took big strides and climbed up.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Various rolling logs and huge rocks kept falling from the city wall. Sun Jian used an ancient ingot knife to dodge or block them frequently. He was unharmed and quickly climbed onto the city wall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet stepped on the ground of the city wall, a spear stabbed towards him from the sky.

"Death to the traitor."

When Sun Jian heard the sound, he knew it was a Qian Zhao. He dodged and jumped back a distance of ten feet to avoid the shot.

Qian Zhao followed closely, shook his spear, and stabbed at Sun Jian's face again.

"Humph, although you have a great reputation, your martial arts skills are mediocre. Why should I be afraid of you, Sun?"

Sun Jian used his ancient ingot knife to deflect the attack. At the same time, he took a step forward, actively advanced and launched a counterattack.

Because of Sun Jian's agility, when he was fighting with Qian Zhao, most of the soldiers attacking the city were unable to climb up the city wall. Therefore, Sun Jian was almost fighting alone. The only several thousand Jiangdong soldiers on the city wall could not even protect themselves when facing tens of thousands of defenders, let alone come to help.

Faced with such a situation, how could Cheng Pu and others under the city wall not be anxious?
Huang Gai picked up his halberd and was about to charge forward, but was stopped by Zhou Yu.

"Don't worry, old general. The lord has nothing to worry about."

Huang Gai was not listening: "Nonsense. My lord is in such a critical situation, how can I not be anxious?"

Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, my lord's martial arts are better than that. Look, my lord has occupied a corner of the city wall and moved back and forth, making it difficult for the enemy to attack from all sides. In this way, with my lord's bravery, I can protect myself. And my lord leading the troops can boost our morale. It won't be long before the city is captured."
