Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1124 The Real Backhand
"System prompt: Zhang He's basic archery skill is 100 points, and the Five Stone Strong Bow increases the archery skill by 2 points."

"Trigger the special skill 'Non-shooting', and improve your shooting skill by 5 points."

"Zhang He's current comprehensive shooting skill is 107 points."

Huang Zhong had fought with Zhang He, Zhao Yun and others at Hulao Pass that day, so he immediately recognized the general's voice, which was Zhang He's, which made him even more excited.

"Great, great, great! I was just worried about having no rivals. Zhang He, you're just in time!"

As he spoke, he had already put the feather arrow on the bowstring. When Zhang He's three arrows were still in the air, he also shot three arrows in a row in this instant.

"System prompt: Huang Zhong's basic archery skill is 102 points, and the Five Stone Strong Bow increases his archery skill by 2 points."

"Huang Zhong triggers the special skill 'Bow King'. When shooting arrows, his archery skill is increased by 4 points. When shooting against an opponent, he absorbs half of the gain effect of the opponent's archery-related special skills."

"Zhang He's 'Non-shooting' skill increases the skill by 5 points, so Huang Zhong's shooting skill increases by 2 points."

"Huang Zhong's current comprehensive shooting skill is 110 points."

Huang Zhong's three arrows, fired later but arrived first, were able to accurately hit Zhang He's three arrows.

Six feather arrows exploded less than twenty steps in front of Huang Zhong, and the metal arrowheads were also blown away by the huge impact force.

"The system prompts that although Zhang He's arrow hit Huang Zhong's arrow, it was Huang Zhong who shot later and hit Zhang He's arrow, not Zhang He who hit Huang Zhong's arrow. Therefore, the additional effect of the 'non-shooting' skill will not be triggered."

Zhang He stared at Huang Zhong not far away, and while riding his horse to dodge left and right, he continued to draw his bow and arrow.

"Alright, General Huang is still strong despite his age. Look at my arrow again."

Just as he was about to shoot the arrow, Huang Zhong was one step faster: "Humph, you want to taste my arrow."

Huang Zhong shot an arrow, but it was not aimed at Zhang He, but at the mount under his crotch.

Zhang He hurriedly changed the direction of the bow and arrow and shot it at Huang Zhong.

"Ding……"

The two sharp arrows collided in the air, sparks flying.

"System prompt: Zhang He shot Huang Zhong's arrow, triggering the 'non-shooting' skill, reducing Huang Zhong's archery skill by 1 point. Huang Zhong's current comprehensive archery skill is reduced to 109 points."

The two men rode their horses and fought back and forth for twenty or thirty rounds. Seeing that the quiver was about to be empty, Huang Zhong shot the last arrow, then swung his phoenix-beak knife, squeezed his horse with both legs, and quickly pounced on Zhang He.

"You're just in time. My Sky-Cliffing Spear hasn't been open for a long time."

Zhang He took out the newly made Sky-lifting Halberd and went forward to meet him.

"System prompt: Zhang He vs. Huang Zhong."

"Zhang He's basic force is 97 points, and his soldier king, armor, and mount have increased by a total of 4 points."

"Zhang He has mastered a new skill, 'Ji Sheng': When using a halberd, his strength increases by 3 points, suppressing the enemy's halberd-type generals' strength by 2 points, and his own strength increases by another 1 point when fighting against enemy generals who are not halberd-type generals."

"Affected by the special skill, Zhang He's current comprehensive force is 105 points."

After the Battle of Hulao Pass, Liu He felt that the situation in the world had become clear. As the emperor, he was afraid that he would have few opportunities to lead the army in person in the future. The emperor had lived in Luoyang for a long time, and it was a waste of talent for a good general like Zhang He to be the commander of his personal guards, so he gave him a book called "Fuyao Kuangfeng Jifa".

This halberd technique is suitable for short halberds, especially double short halberds, which is just what he needs. Zhang He was overjoyed. After practicing hard for several months, he has made great progress. Not only has his basic martial arts strength increased from 96 to 97, he has also realized this new skill. Only then did Liu He dare to send him to carry out the plan of luring the enemy with the grain carts.

"Huang Zhong's basic force is 102 points, and his weapons and armor have increased by 2 points in total."

"Huang Zhong has activated his special skill 'Mature'. Huang Zhong is currently 48 years old, 40 years older than 8, and his martial arts strength is increased by 2 points."

"Huang Zhong's overall strength is 106 points." "Zhang He is currently 39 years old, 9 years younger than Huang Zhong, so his strength is suppressed by 3 points. Zhang He's overall strength becomes 102 points."

The two fought for only a few rounds when Zhang He was secretly shocked: "What a veteran general! Your Majesty often praises him, saying that he is comparable to Lian Po and Ma Yuan. In the past, we only fought with him in archery, thinking that he was old and weak, and his swordsmanship was not strong. I didn't expect that he has such martial arts and strength. I should deal with him carefully, otherwise I am afraid I will be defeated by him again."

Although Huang Zhong had the upper hand, he was more anxious than Zhang He.

"The enemy has obviously set up an ambush. This baggage train is probably a trick to lure the enemy. I must not fight to the death, otherwise I will definitely make mistakes. Gao Shun is a master of military strategy. Today, I see that his reputation is well-deserved. General Gongjin wants to fight against the four famous generals Guan Yu, Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye, and Gao Shun alone. Now it seems that he underestimated the enemy."

While he was trying to suppress Zhang He, he was quickly thinking of a way to retreat safely so that he could return to support his lord Sun Ce or his main general Zhou Yu as soon as possible.

At almost the same time, in Runan City, the flames finally completely engulfed the entire city, and the Purple Gold Dragon Riders had no way to escape.

Zhou Yu stood on the top of the city wall with a calm face, looking at the rising sun in the east and took a deep breath.

"Da da da……"

A soldier came running over and said, "General Zhou, Lü Bu shot an arrow into Zhang Yong's right leg while he was trapped by the lord, and then he and the lord worked together to defeat Zhu Ye. The enemy has retreated towards the city of Liyang. Another small group of enemy troops has reached less than ten miles outside the east gate of the city."

Lu Su was delighted when he heard this: "Great! The lord is indeed brave and was able to defeat Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye. This battle is certain for our army to win."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zi Jing. I have another trick up my sleeve."

After saying this, he shouted to the messenger beside him: "Pass my order to open the north gate and let Guan Yu out of the city."

Lu Su was stunned, but soon understood.

"A besieged city must have gaps. Haha, Gongjin has thought it through."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "That's right. Although Guan Yu and the Purple Gold Dragon Riders were defeated, they counterattacked before their death. Even if our army can resist them, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Moreover, there are thousands of people outside the city rushing to support them. It is better to let them out of the city and let them run around outside the city. Then they will be ambushed by me and captured easily."

"Hahahaha... Gongjin is so smart and wise. I admire him very much."

Just as the north city gate was wide open and Guan Yu led the remaining Purple Gold Dragon Riders to rush out, Zhou Yu was about to go down the city gate to meet Sun Ce and prepare for the subsequent battle when suddenly a shout was heard.

"Report..."

Another soldier came running over, and Zhou Yu frowned slightly, seeming a little surprised.

"What military intelligence have you reported? Logically speaking, General Huang Hansheng should not succeed so quickly. Where can he get the intelligence to report?"

The soldier looked a little panicked and knelt in front of Zhou Yu: "General... Huang... General Huang..."

Zhou Yu's expression suddenly became a little nervous, no longer with the demeanor that he had everything under control. He took a step forward and asked hurriedly.

"How is General Huang?"

"The old general ambushed the enemy's food and supplies, but he fell into the enemy's trap. He fought with the halberd soldiers led by Zhang He and the Luoyang Imperial Guards for a while. Although the old general defeated Zhang He, the enemy was very strong and elite, so the old general had to flee and has fled back to this place..."

"what?"

Zhou Yu's face changed drastically.

Lu Su also exclaimed: "Why is the enemy's baggage convoy being guarded by Zhang He himself and the Luoyang Imperial Guards? Could it be..."

He seemed to have thought of something terrible: "Could it be that... Liu He had already predicted all this?"

Before Zhou Yu could react, another person hurried over.

"Report...something bad has happened..."
