From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 152 Tight Defense
Zhang Liao had long wanted to go to the border for a walk. He was itching to do something. Since he was recruited to Dameng Town, he had never fought with Zhuge Liang again, but Zhuge Liang was his lord after all, so Zhang Liao did not dare to use his full strength, which was not satisfying.

Zhuge Liang naturally did not reject Zhang Liao, although he had not wanted Zhang Liao to go there before and had tried to trick Zhang Liao into staying in the main city.

But now that Zhang Liao was so sincere in his words, Zhuge Liang felt embarrassed not to take him with him... Of course, the most important thing was that the other party should not be a fool.

No matter how stupid the people of the Wu Dynasty were, they would not dare to place their troops on the border and allow the Dameng Dynasty to attack at will, so it was most likely that they were just going through the motions this time.

The fact was just as Zhuge Liang guessed. When he and Zhang Liao led their troops to the border, they didn't see a single ghost, let alone harass the enemy's troops.

Zhang Liao was speechless and said, "Nothing. The Wu Dynasty is too cowardly. I think we should just take our troops and attack them directly!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Mr. Jiang said that it is not appropriate to mobilize troops now. If the other party is holding back, or has more troops than us, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang Liao said, "We will have to fight sooner or later. As we develop and develop, our military strength will increase, and the enemy's military strength will also increase. If we don't have more troops than them now, we won't have more in the future. If we are stronger than them now, we will be stronger in the future. You're in charge!"

Zhuge Liang thought to himself that you are good at sophistry, so he asked Zhang Liao, "Is there a big difference between one soldier and ten soldiers?"

Zhang Liao said: "Then it must be ten soldiers beating one soldier!"

Zhuge Liang asked again: "What if there are 90,000 soldiers and 80,000 soldiers?"

Zhang Liao seemed to be thinking about something. The gap of 10,000 soldiers was actually not that big. Especially when there were so many of them, as long as the commander was capable, there was a chance to kill the enemy.

Zhuge Liang felt that Zhang Liao was a rare and fierce general, and his martial arts skills were incredible. Zhuge Liang even estimated that if the Wu Dynasty did not produce famous generals like the Five Tiger Generals, no one would be Zhang Liao's opponent in terms of martial arts alone, not to mention anything else.

However, he also has weaknesses, that is, when it comes to commanding the overall situation, Zhang Liao is much inferior.

But this does not mean that Zhang Liao does not know how to command troops. He just thought about Zhuge Liang's words for a moment, then nodded and said, "General Zhuge is right. You are better than me in commanding troops!"

Zhang Liao did not complain about the fact that he was not as good as Zhuge Liang. Instead, he was very happy and honestly admitted that he was not as good as Zhuge Liang in some aspects.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "That's not a little bit stronger."

Zhang Liao chuckled and said, "Okay, okay! You're still pretending, so let's have another show of strength!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Come!"

He might as well give it a try and see how big the gap is between him and Zhang Liao after upgrading his weapon to the first-class level. Last time, he was not able to defeat Zhang Liao at all.

The two sides held weapons and started the competition again, but this time Zhuge Liang managed to last ten moves at the hands of Zhang Liao. If Zhang Liao had not been serious at the end, the fight would have lasted longer.

After the competition, Zhang Liao's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "General Zhuge, you seem to have become stronger recently!"

"Tell me quickly, how did you become stronger?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't say that he added points to his weapon proficiency, but then again, it seems that adding points to weapon proficiency can really affect the combat power value, and the improvement is huge.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I didn't do anything, just training day after day."

Zhang Liao scratched his head. Can training make you stronger? I also trained, why didn't I become stronger? Strange! This guy's martial arts value is growing, and although my martial arts value is higher than his, I have been standing still for a long time. If given time, this guy may catch up with me.

But this is a good thing. After all, they are comrades-in-arms. When Zhuge Liang becomes really powerful one day, Zhang Liao will also be able to benefit from it.

The two men wandered around the border with 500 cavalrymen for a long time and were about to go back. At this moment, Zhuge Liang suddenly looked sideways and saw smoke rising from the border city not far away.

It seems that the other party is not as he guessed. They actually invaded. However, Zhuge Liang felt that the other party was probably just a exploratory raid and would run away immediately if there was no result.

"General Zhang, come to work."

"What?"

Zhang Liao was a little puzzled. He looked in the direction of Zhuge Liang, then swung his whip violently. Before Zhuge Liang could react, he had disappeared.

Zhuge Liang said to the 500 cavalrymen behind him: "Charge over there as fast as possible!"

"Stop the attacking enemies and don't let any of them go!"

"Here!"

A team of more than 500 cavalrymen launched a rapid charge towards the direction where the wolf smoke rose at the fastest speed!

When Zhuge Liang arrived, the enemy's cavalry team was already in disarray, with corpses all over the ground. Then he saw a scene that made him dumbfounded: Zhang Liao was chasing and hacking at nearly a hundred cavalrymen alone.

Too bad!
Zhuge Liang's face twitched. This guy's fighting power was too incredible.

The key is... please leave some for me, I’m short of experience points now!
"Rush over!"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, his horse had already caught up with Zhang Liao, and he slashed at the crowd with a Mo Dao in his hand.

The Mo Dao has great lethality and can kill enemies much faster than a gun. If you want to get kills from Zhang Liao's men, you can only use heavy weapons and fight quickly, even though this is very physically demanding.

In normal battles, Zhuge Liang would not easily use the Mo Dao, because the Mo Dao is heavier and more powerful than a gun, but it also consumes physical strength faster. However, Zhuge Liang can't care so much now.

After much difficulty seeing that the enemy wanted to attack the border, and finally catching them, Zhuge Liang could not let go of this free experience points at all costs!

The one hundred cavalrymen of the enemy were also stunned. They had only come to test the waters. If they could launch a sneak attack on the enemy's soldiers, it would be considered a success. If not, they would leave quickly.

Then they saw a cavalryman rushing towards them, and they even thought that this man was a fool. After all, their team had a hundred people, so wouldn't one person be seeking death?
So these hundred cavalrymen did not choose to retreat, but instead fought with Zhang Liao. They believed that they could get rid of Zhang Liao soon.

And then... this was probably the most wrong decision they had ever made in their lives. Now it had become like this, and they couldn't escape. In just a moment, the bodies of more than a hundred people had all been left at the border, and not a single one escaped.

Zhang Liao was still not satisfied, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "If you hadn't come to interfere, I could have killed them all by myself!"
