Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 997: The City is About to Fall
"System prompt: Sun Jian is fighting against Qianzhao. Sun Jian's basic force is 92 points, weapons and armor are increased by 2 points in total, no special skill bonus, current comprehensive force is 94 points."

"The basic force of the move is 90 points, weapons and armor are increased by 2 points in total, no special skill bonus, the current comprehensive force is 92 points."

Although Qian Zhao and Xu Huang held the same official positions, Xu Huang was slightly better in command and military strength, while Qian Zhao was stronger than Xu Huang in intelligence and politics. Whenever there was a war, Qian Zhao would command and dispatch in the rear while Xu Huang would fight on the front line.

Therefore, Liu He only granted Xu Huang the title of King of Soldiers and King of Armor, and gave Qian Zhao only ordinary magic weapons and armor. Unexpectedly, Qian Zhao is now at a disadvantage.

After Qian Zhao was pinned down by Sun Jian, the defending troops on the city wall naturally fell into a situation of lack of command, and the Jiangdong troops outside the city took advantage of this opportunity and frantically climbed up the city wall.

Not long after, the city wall that originally had only two or three thousand Jiangdong soldiers suddenly had no less than ten thousand Jiangdong soldiers, and the enemy continued to pour in, which doubled the pressure on defending the city.

Xu Huang outside the city had also discovered this unfavorable situation, but no matter how anxious he was, he could not get rid of Sun Ce's entanglement.

"System prompt: Sun Ce and Xu Huang have fought for another twenty rounds. Thanks to the 'Divine Bravery' skill, Sun Ce's force is increased by 1 point. The current comprehensive force becomes 105 points."

Sun Ce's martial power was already on par with Xu Huang's, and Xu Huang was distracted by checking the battle on the city wall, so he seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Sun Ce was delighted by this change. He imagined in his mind how he would soon become famous and glorious, while increasing his strength with both hands. He wielded the Overlord Spear with murderous aura and majesty, leaving Xu Huang with only the ability to defend himself and no longer able to fight back.

"Damn it... This Sun Ce is really... Really so damned..."

Xu Huang was filled with hatred and tried to fight back several times, but was always unsuccessful.

"System prompt: Sun Ce has been in battle for another twenty rounds, and his military strength has increased by 1 point. Sun Ce's current comprehensive military strength has become 106 points."

The two had already fought for eighty rounds. Sun Ce's "divine bravery" skill had triggered the bonus to his martial arts to the limit. The battle situation between the two had also changed from initially lagging behind Xu Huang to now firmly suppressing Xu Huang.

As the battle reached this point, Xu Huang's anger gradually turned into regret and remorse.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been angry and greedy for merit, how could I have fallen into their trap? Alas, now I am surrounded outside the city, and Zijing is also trapped in the city. I'm afraid there will be no turning point in this battle. For now, I can only serve my country with my life and atone for my sins with blood."

Thinking of this, Xu Huang's aura suddenly changed. He was no longer angry and depressed. He was very energetic, as if he had thrown away all his worries and was determined to fight Sun Ce to the death. No matter what happened around him, he no longer paid any attention to it, and he didn't even look at him. All his energy was focused on Sun Ce.

"System prompt: Xu Huang suddenly had an epiphany on the battlefield. His basic command and basic military strength were permanently increased by 1 point each. Currently, Xu Huang's basic command has reached 90 points, and his basic military strength has reached 96 points. Affected by this, Xu Huang's current comprehensive military strength has become 106 points."

Sun Ce was slightly surprised when he felt the sudden change in Xu Huang's momentum. "Good Xu Huang, you remain calm in the face of danger. You are indeed a famous general. However, the stronger you are, the more you can inspire my fighting spirit. If you are just an incompetent person, it would be in vain for me, Sun Ce, to kill you."

Xu Huang quickly recovered from the loss, and the two of them fought back and forth, and for a while they were in a stalemate again.

Although the battle situation was extremely favorable for the Jiangdong troops, Cheng Pu was exhausted.

While he had to command the army, he also had to keep a close eye on the battle between Sun Jian and Sun Ce. One was the lord and the other was the young master, and neither of them could be harmed in the slightest, otherwise he would be doomed.

After a while, Cheng Pu was exhausted, especially because of the constant twisting of his head, which made his neck a little sore.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy... Gongjin..."

"I'm your nephew. I wonder if the old general has any instructions for you?" Zhou Yu rode his horse to Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu held his neck, his face showing some pain. "Come on, you can take over my command for now. My neck is a little bit tired."

Zhou Yu said modestly: "How dare I, a humble general, take on such a great responsibility?" "Well, you don't have to be so modest. This siege was all thanks to your planning, which gave us the chance to win now. The lord has always trusted you very much. Letting you take charge of the army for a while is a hundred benefits and no harm compared to an old man like me."

"This..." Zhou Yu hesitated.

Cheng Pu was anxious: "Oh, you can't bear to see my old bones fall apart on this battlefield, right? Don't worry, the lord will definitely not blame me when he finds out. Even if he does, I will bear the responsibility."

Seeing that he had said this, Zhou Yu could no longer refuse: "If that's the case, then my nephew has overstepped his authority."

Cheng Pu heaved a sigh of relief when he agreed. Huang Gai hurriedly helped him up and said, "Brother Cheng, are you okay?"

Cheng Pu glared at him angrily and said, "Why can't I do it? I sprained my neck because I had to take care of three heads and twist my neck back and forth. If you don't agree, after we win, let's practice and let you know if I can do it."

"Hahaha...brother is still so hot-tempered. Okay, I know I'm wrong."

Huang Gai made a joke, then helped Cheng Pu to the side and pinched his shoulders, but Cheng Pu impatiently pushed him away.

"Come on, come on. I'm not old yet. Why do I need you to serve me? Go and help the lord fight. It would be better if the battle ends sooner."

Cheng Pu was the oldest in the army, now nearly fifty years old, a few years older than Huang Gai, Han Dang, Ding Feng and others, so everyone always regarded him as their elder brother. In addition, Sun Jian had appointed him as the temporary commander-in-chief, so Huang Gai dared not disobey him when he spoke.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll be there soon."

After saying this, Huang Gai picked up his weapon, mounted his horse, and rushed towards the city gate.

Zhou Yu took the command flag, played with it in his hands for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

He glanced towards Sun Ce, then focused his attention on the city wall.

"Wow..."

With a waving of the command flag, one group of soldiers who were attacking the city quickly withdrew, while another group of soldiers on standby ran forward and replaced them.

After that, he waved another flag, and several messengers beside him ran towards the city gate immediately after receiving the order. After they spoke to the generals in charge of commanding the troops to attack the city gate, the generals immediately separated and formed a battle array. One group continued to hit the city gate, while the other group took out a small shovel in their arms and started digging the ground in front of the left and right sides of the gate.

Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers were divided into several groups, taking turns to dig the soil on the ground with shovels. Each group swung the shovel with all their strength. After their arms were sore, another group would immediately take their place. In this way, the speed of digging the soil was simply astonishing.

Soon, a hole about two meters long and three or four feet deep was dug in front of the left and right sides of the gate, and the hole was getting deeper and deeper at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qian Zhao, who was engaged in a bitter battle with Sun Jian, turned pale when his soldiers reported the situation to him.

Sun Jian raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha... Great, Gongjin is extremely wise and is truly an unparalleled national hero. Qian Zhao, I think you are also a talented general who has experienced hundreds of battles. As long as you are willing to surrender and follow me to Luoyang, clear the court of evil officials and protect the country, I will spare your life."

"Bah!" Qian Zhao spat, "A real man standing between heaven and earth should be loyal and righteous. Even if you win temporarily, you will eventually be branded as a traitor and a traitor."

Sun Jian's expression suddenly darkened. "Humph, you don't know what's good for you. If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. I wonder how long you can hold on to Hefei City."
