Chapter Three: Yiling!

At the foot of Shimen Mountain.

In a dense forest, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao's two hundred personal guards were hidden.

Meanwhile, Liu Shan, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, was listening to the military intelligence reported by his scouts.

"There is a Wu soldier, five hundred men, in the camp ahead."

"But the patrolling soldiers were quite vigilant, with each patrol team consisting of around twenty men..."

"Five hundred enemy soldiers?"

"Your Highness, it is five hundred."

Liu Shan nodded: "We can attack now!"

"Our army may only have two hundred men, but two hundred men are two hundred men!"

"Two hundred people have their own way of playing."

"The advantage is in my hands!"

The advantage lies with me?

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were stunned. Wu Bing had five hundred men, while they only had two hundred. Where did the advantage come from?

Moreover, it was almost dawn, and the enemy was on tight patrols...

"Anguo! You will lead more than eighty men to attack from the right flank."

Guan Xing was stunned, unsure how to react for a moment: "This..."

"Xingguo!" Liu Shan looked directly at Zhang Bao: "I order you to lead over eighty men to encircle the stronghold from the left flank... The remaining thirty men will follow me directly to the gate!"

Liu Shan had already issued the order.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei remained rooted to the spot, at a loss for what to do.

The enemy forces outnumber them by at least twice as many, yet Your Highness is dividing your troops into three groups, while you yourself lead only thirty men to directly attack the gate of the stronghold…

"Follow me!" Liu Shan led thirty men straight towards the Wu camp!

Zhang Bao broke out in a cold sweat and turned to look at Guan Xing: "What, what should we do?!"

"What else can we do? His Highness has already charged in! Quickly, protect the Crown Prince!!"

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, one on the left and one on the right, each led their personal guards and charged into the enemy camp in a bloody battle!

In an instant, shouts of battle erupted outside the dense forest.

"Enemy attack!"

"The Han army is attacking!!"

"kill!!"

In the Battle of Yiling, countless Han soldiers perished in a massive fire perpetrated by the Wu forces, leaving no trace of their bodies!

At this moment, enemies meet and their eyes blaze with hatred!

The Han army fought with all their might.

Wherever the spears and blades flashed, Wu soldiers fell one after another into pools of blood. Screams and screams filled the air.

"Kill all these Wu dogs... Ah!"

"To avenge our brothers who died in Yiling!!"

"They're outnumbered, they can't hold on much longer!"

"You've accepted this military merit offered to you!"

"kill!!"

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao ultimately had fewer troops, so they divided their forces into two wings and attacked the enemy head-on with fewer troops.

Even though both were exceptionally brave generals, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were unknowingly forced into a corner by the overwhelming military pressure.

The two men led their soldiers, swords and spears in hand, attempting to break through the enemy lines.

What awaited them was a forest of long spears pressing down, forcing the Shu soldiers to retreat...

With each step the Wu soldiers advanced, a Shu soldier fell.

Their hands, gripping their weapons, began to tremble; by this point in the battle, they were nearly exhausted.

Hee hee hee!

Just then, the neighing of a warhorse echoed throughout the camp, and a man in white helmet and armor rode a white horse, wielding a long spear, galloping from behind the Wu army!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince?!"

Guan Xing, surrounded in the formation, left Zhang Bao speechless.

Liu Shan's spear flashed like lightning, and wherever he rode his horse, the blood of Wu soldiers fell like rain.

As Wu Jun charged forward, he felt a chill run down his chest, and was then impaled by a spear, slamming into the enemy ranks...

In a short while,

More than ten Wu soldiers had already died under the spear, which made the eyes of the Wu soldiers' comrades bloodshot.

Howling!

With a long neigh, the white horse leaped into the air, its four hooves pounding into the Wu army's formation!

boom!

"not good!"

"Get out of the way... Ah!!!"

It's too late.

The Wu soldiers wanted to hide, but the army's formation was so tight that there was nowhere to hide.

Liu Shan brandished his spear and leaped onto his horse!

He moved swiftly and unstoppably through Wu's ranks! Wherever his spear flashed, Wu's soldiers fell like harvested wheat!

"Quick! Stop him!"

"Drag him off his horse!"

"We can't stop him, we can't stop him... Who? Who is he?"

Suddenly, the image of the white-armored figure they had seen outside Baidi City flashed through the minds of Wu's soldiers.

Clad in white armor, riding a white dragon horse, wielding a gleaming silver spear, a valiant and unparalleled Shu general…

"Zhao Yun!"

"He, he, he is Zhao Zilong!"

"Zhao Zilong is coming! Run! Run!"

"Zhao Zilong is coming!"

He charged in and out of Changban seven times, treating Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army as nothing!

Outside Baidi City, Zhao Yun escorted Liu Bei into the city. General Sun Huan, who had originally pursued Liu Bei to Shimen Mountain, turned around and left without saying a word when he heard that Zhao Yun had arrived!

Even with Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army, and the valiant General Sun Huan, things were still like this!

What can they use to stop such a fierce general?

In an instant, the morale of the Wu soldiers collapsed.

"We are willing to surrender!"

"We are willing to surrender!!"

"We are willing to surrender to General Zhao Yun!"

A chorus of surrender cries erupted within Wu's camp, and the surrendered soldiers knelt down one after another.

Guan Xing, covered in blood and still half-asleep, asked, "Did we win?"

Zhang Bao also felt it was unreal, muttering to himself, "This, this is how we won?"

They thought they were doomed and about to meet their late father, but unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince turned the tide and single-handedly won!

The two stared blankly at the Crown Prince on horseback... This prince was truly brave and invincible!

As a result, Wu soldiers mistook him for General Zilong, which led to the collapse of their army's morale and their immediate surrender.

only……

The two exchanged a glance.

They both noticed the hesitation in each other's eyes.

"Was General Zilong truly as valiant as the Crown Prince in his youth?"

A moment later,

The fighting subsided, and the Wu camp returned to peace.

Liu Shan sat in the center of the military tent: "Tell me about the situation at the Zigui camp and Lu Xun."

"I'll talk, I'll talk..."

The surrendered soldiers of Wu trembled as if they were being sieved: "The Grand Commander has set up the central command tent in Zigui City, and the main force and elite troops are stationed inside the city."

"The remaining tens of thousands of troops surrounded Zigui City and set up camp!"

"Every day at the beginning of the morning, the Grand Commander inspects the various camps outside the city from the city walls..."

The main force is stationed in Zigui City! The remaining troops surround the city and establish fortifications!

da~

da~

da~

Liu Shan gently tapped the large table...

As a result,

It's impossible to cross Zigui City silently.

"Your Highness."

Guan Xing hesitated, but still spoke up: "Zigui is where the main force of the Wu army is located, and Lu Xun is personally in charge."

"With our small force, if we go to Zigui... there is no chance of survival."

When Liu Shan interrogated the prisoners, Guan Xing was always by his side. He naturally knew that the Crown Prince's heart was in Zigui and his mind was with Lu Xun.

But Guan Xing still wanted to remind Liu Shan,

After defeating the Wu army, he only had a little over a hundred personal guards left. Sending a mere hundred men to Zigui City would be nothing short of suicide!

"Tomorrow, we'll pass through Zigui."

Passing through, passing through Zigui?

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao suddenly looked up at Liu Shan: "Where does Your Highness intend to go?"

Liu Shan turned his head,

His gaze fell upon the Wu-Shu power map hanging behind him.

It seemed to want to pierce through the smoke of war on this map.

It was as if he could see the strategic choke point between land and water that Lu Xun called the "Western Gate of Jiangdong"! He could see the city filled with the bones and blood of the Han army!

His Highness the Crown Prince remained calm.

He slowly uttered two words: "Yiling!"
