Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 939: Zhao Yun's Rage

"How dare you, thief..."

Li Mang came to his senses at this time and found that the eagle had died in front of him, and he was immediately furious.

He immediately stabbed out with the halberd in his hand, hitting Deng Yuan in the chest, and Hu Meng also used up his last bit of strength and slashed Deng Yuan on the shoulder.

“Hehe… hehehe… I’ve long seen that this guy… ahem… he’s not good at close combat. You… you guys don’t have to worry, this fate will sooner or later… ahem… it will also fall on you…”

Deng Yuan had blood all over his mouth and was grinning at the two of them, giving them goose bumps.

"I... General Pingnan of the Han Dynasty... Deng Yuan, have lived up to the emperor's grace... It's just a pity that I haven't... I haven't had the time to name my child yet..."

“Go to hell!” Li Mang shouted angrily, thrusting the halberd blade into his chest, then pulled it out, aimed at his neck, and chopped it down fiercely…

Li Mang held Deng Yuan's head in his hand and glared at the city ahead: "Pass the order down. After conquering Xiangping City, burn, kill and loot for three days and three nights. I want to leave no one alive in this city!"

Zhao Yun rushed all the way into the city from outside, killing everyone in sight. Not long after, after leaving behind hundreds of enemy corpses, Zhao Yun successfully returned to the top of the city wall.

"Generals, how is the battle going?"

After Tian Yu and Tian Chou knocked down several enemy soldiers, they hurried over.

"General Zilong, we two are extremely ashamed that we fell into Li Mang's trap. All four gates in the city were opened by spies. Now the 200,000-strong coalition army of Goguryeo and Buyeo has poured into the city. Our army has been defeated and I'm afraid we can't hold on."

"Yes, the defenders have suffered more than 30% casualties. From a rough look at the enemy's casualties, although they are more numerous than ours, they are still outnumbered. If we continue to waste time like this, our army will surely be defeated. In my humble opinion, it is better to gather up the remnants and break out."

Tian Chou had just finished speaking when Zhao Yun interrupted him, "Nonsense! Your Majesty has entrusted such a heavy responsibility to the three of us. We have lost several cities in a row, which is already a grave sin and we cannot explain it to the court. Now if Xiangping City is lost, the entire Liaodong County will fall into the hands of the bandits, the people will be humiliated, and the court will be disgraced. How can we soldiers live in the world with dignity?"

His righteous and powerful words made Tian Chou feel a little ashamed.

"General Zilong is right. What should we do now?"

Zhao Yun trembled the bright silver spear in his hand, and his face showed determination: "Humph, today, even if I die in this battle, I will never retreat even a single step."

Tian Yu and Tian Chou looked at each other with a determined look on their faces: "Well, at worst, even if we stain the city gates with blood, we will let these barbarians who dared to invade our Han Dynasty know how powerful we are."

As the three were talking, a soldier stumbled over.

"General Zhao...something bad has happened...something terrible has happened..."

Zhao Yun looked at him and asked hurriedly, "What happened again?"

The soldier said in a tearful voice: "General Deng he...he..."

Zhao Yun's heart trembled, and he took a step forward: "What happened to Ziyang?"

The soldier pointed outside the city: "He fell into the enemy's trap and has... died in battle... That bastard Li Mang chopped off his head and is marching towards us to demonstrate..."

"What!" Zhao Yun was so shocked that he swayed and almost fell down. Tian Yu and Tian Chou also had a look of disbelief on their faces.

"This... How is this possible... General Deng Yuan..."

The three of them looked towards the wilderness outside the city at the same time, and sure enough, Li Mang was safe and sound, riding a horse towards them, and on the tip of the halberd in his hand, there was a human head.

Zhao Yun's eyes were wide open, and even Tian Yu and Tian Chou seemed to be able to feel the tremendous anger emanating from him.

"Zi Yang... My dear brother Zi Yang... It's me who harmed you. It's me who harmed you! I shouldn't have left you alone. I knew that Li Mang was full of tricks... I harmed you..."

Zhao Yun was filled with pain, and he slapped the wall so hard that his palms were rubbed raw by the rough wall. "General Zilong, don't blame yourself. It's all because of these barbarian dogs. They are too cunning..."

"Yes, for now, we must avenge General Deng at all costs!"

The words of the two people turned all the regret in Zhao Yun's heart into anger and hatred.

He stared at Li Mang outside the city with his tiger eyes, full of hatred.

"Li Mang... I, Zhao Yun, will not be a human being if I don't kill you today!"

At this time, Li Mang had arrived less than two hundred steps outside the city. He held Deng Yuan's head high.

"Han soldiers in the city, listen up... This is the head of your general Deng Yuan. I have killed him. If you wake up in time and surrender early, you can still save your lives. Otherwise, when the city is captured, no matter whether you are male or female, old or young, you will all be slaughtered without a single one left alive!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were spread by the Goguryeo soldiers. Both the Han soldiers in the city and the ordinary people who were already in a panic were shocked.

"What? General Deng is dead?"

"It's impossible. General Deng's bravery is second only to General Zhao among my Flying Feather Cavalry. How could those barbarian dogs kill him?"

"But... the head in that person's hand seems... seems to be really..."

"Nonsense! I don't believe it. Brothers, follow me and fight our way out to see what's going on."

"Okay, I'll go too."

"Me too!"

"If General Deng really fell into their conspiracy and was killed, we must avenge him and retrieve his body no matter what."

"That's right, let's go out of the city and kill the bandits together!"

"General Deng has not harmed any of our people since he entered the city, and he has often helped us. How could such a good man..."

"My fellow soldiers, go and avenge General Deng. Although we are common people, we are also passionate. If the city is breached today, we will fight to the death, but we will never die under the swords of these barbarians."

Li Mang's words not only failed to scare the soldiers and civilians in the city, but instead aroused their anger.

"Everyone, stop!"

Zhao Yun ran down from the city wall and directly stopped the soldiers who were about to rush out.

"General Zhao, they..."

"I understand." Zhao Yun held back his anger and the tears in his eyes in front of the soldiers.

"The street fighting in the city is so fierce and the enemy is so powerful that you can't afford to be distracted any longer."

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately became anxious: "But, General Deng..."

"You don't need to worry about that!" Zhao Yun was very impatient and shouted loudly. He usually treated his soldiers very kindly, but at this moment, he was so harsh that the soldiers were a little stunned.

Zhao Yun's eyes were filled with anger as he looked through the crowd and towards the outside of the city.

"I will avenge Ziyang!"
