Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 289 Zhang Liao Stops Crying

The situation of being ambushed from all sides is like a big net, slowly tightening on the land of Xuzhou. The tragic shadow of the Siege of Gaixia that once defeated the overlord Xiang Yu seems to be repeated on this land.

Zhang Liao, the fierce general, led his deputy general Cao Xing and only 10,000 soldiers to march towards the already lost Guangling County. The task was arduous, like rowing against the current, and as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Cao Xing's face was filled with worry, his brows furrowed. He followed Zhang Liao and spoke anxiously:

"General, you see, Sun Quan has a hundred thousand soldiers under his command, and we only have so many men and horses. If we want to recapture Guangling County, the disparity in military strength is too great. I'm afraid we won't even be enough to fill his teeth." The voice was filled with deep worry and helplessness, and his eyes were full of confusion about the future.

Zhang Liao, however, remained calm, his gaze as resolute as a torch. He tilted his head slightly to look at Cao Xing and whispered:

"Zicheng, don't lose heart. Our new army is equipped with advanced red cannons. Although the walls of Guangling County seem solid, they are nothing to be afraid of in the face of such weapons. Also, the news of Xia Pi being surrounded must be concealed from the officers and soldiers first, and the morale of the army must not be disrupted." After saying that, he patted Cao Xing's shoulder, as if to convey his confidence to him.

Cao Xing still frowned, and continued with a bitter face:

"The enemy is powerful, General. Sun Quan has many brave generals under his command, such as Gan Ning, Ling Tong, and Cheng Pu, all of whom are skilled warriors. With our limited forces, it will be difficult to win."

Zhang Liao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, with a sly glint in his eyes:

"No problem, I have a good plan to defeat the enemy in my mind, Zicheng, just follow me closely."

On the other hand, upon learning of Lü Bu's army's movements, Sun Quan, relying on his large army and numerous generals, became arrogant and brazenly set up camp outside Guangling City.

The tents were connected and the military flags were flying high, as if they wanted to use this mighty military power to crush the invading enemy. They were quietly waiting for the upcoming Lu Bu army, completely unaware that a big net had been quietly cast towards them.

Zhang Liao had hand-picked eight hundred elite cavalrymen, the cream of the crop, plucked from the vast army. Each one clad in brand-new armor, their cold, hard glow in the moonlight made them look like heavenly soldiers. In their hands, they wielded incredibly sharp Mo Dao blades, their blades gleaming with a chilling glare that seemed capable of slicing through the moonlight.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, with strong winds and dark clouds obscuring the moon, while Sun Quan's army was still asleep and had not yet assembled, Zhang Liao led his eight hundred elite cavalrymen, sneaking silently to the vicinity of the enemy like a ghost moving at night.

When the night was quiet, Zhang Liao suddenly issued the battle order and shouted:

"Brothers! Follow me and kill!" In an instant, eight hundred torches lit up at the same time, like eight hundred meteors across the night sky, illuminating the darkness.

"Kill! Capture Sun Quan alive!" Eight hundred elite cavalrymen shouted in unison, their voices resounding, shaking the earth slightly. Holding torches in one hand and brandishing their swords in the other, they charged into the enemy camp like tigers among a flock of sheep.

Zhang Liao led the charge, his sickle wielding a powerful blow, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere he went. These eight hundred men charged left and right through the enemy lines, like dragons emerging from the sea, unstoppable and unstoppable.

There was still chaos in Sun Quan's tent.

"General, it's bad! The enemy is attacking the camp and is heading towards the general's tent!" Ding Feng rushed in, his face pale and shouting in a trembling voice.

Sun Quan, sound asleep on the couch, was suddenly awakened, his sleepiness instantly shattered. In his haste, he had no time to put on his armor before Ding Feng helped him escape from the tent. His face was pale, his eyes gleaming with fear, his steps staggering, and he was filled with regret. He had never imagined the enemy would be so bold as to launch a night attack.

This battle was completely beyond Sun Quan's expectations. Zhang Liao was the bravest of the three armies, like a god of war descending to earth. He wielded a sickle and charged straight towards Sun Quan's tent.

"Enemy general, stop being so arrogant! I, Zhu Huan, am here to fight you." Seeing this, Zhu Huan stepped forward, holding a spear and stabbed at Zhang Liao.

"Kill!" Zhang Liao shouted, and swung the sickle in his hand fiercely, fighting with Zhu Huan.

Although Zhu Huan was a skilled general from Jiangdong, he was still far inferior to Zhang Liao in terms of martial prowess. After only a dozen or so rounds, Zhu Huan was exhausted, his arms numb and sweating.

"Enemy general, give me your life!" Seeing that Zhu Huan was defeated, Zhu Zhi also rushed over, waving his two swords, trying to help Zhu Huan.

But when it comes to single combat, sometimes numbers don't guarantee victory. Zhang Liao's martial arts skills are exceptional, and the difference between his strength and that of the two Jiangdong generals is like a world of difference. Even with the combined strength of the two generals, they can't stop Zhang Liao's momentum.

Zhang Liao, seizing the flaw in Zhu Huan's attack, struck him with a fierce blow, severely wounding him. Zhu Huan screamed in pain and retreated, clutching his wound. Seeing this, Zhu Zhi, chilled to the bone, feared further battle and retreated as well. Sun Quan's army was thrown into disarray, fleeing hastily towards Guangling City.

"Haha, Sun Quan, you little bastard, give me your life." Zhang Liao laughed loudly when he saw this. The laughter echoed in the night sky, revealing his heroism and domineering attitude.

Seeing Zhang Liao's army relentlessly pressing forward, Sun Quan was terrified, his face pale as ashes. He shouted in panic, "What can I do? My life is in danger!"

"General, I am willing to fight." Ling Tong stepped forward, holding a long spear with a firm look in his eyes. Although he knew he could not win, he was willing to fight to the death.

"Okay, I'll rely on you generals to cover our retreat." Sun Quan nodded quickly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly retreated under the escort of his personal guards.

Ling Tong's Force score was a mere 78, a stark contrast to Zhang Liao's. As soon as the two clashed, Ling Tong felt the pressure mount, the halberd in his hand weighing a thousand pounds, making it difficult to resist. Had Gan Ning not arrived in time, he would have perished on the spot.

"Enemy general, don't be arrogant! I, Gan Xingba, am here to meet you." Gan Ning came like a whirlwind, holding a pair of halberds, looking majestic, with a look of bravery in his eyes.

"I, Lu Ziming, am here. The enemy will give up their lives." Lu Meng followed closely behind, waving his long sword and joining the battle.

Zhang Liao faced the three Jiangdong generals without fear, brandishing his hook-and-scythe with impenetrable force. He knew this was a rare opportunity, and he must do his utmost to capture Sun Quan.

Zhang Liao fought hard against the three generals and was not at a disadvantage. After a few moves, he suddenly exerted his strength, broke through the obstruction of the three generals, and killed in the direction of Sun Quan's retreat.

Sun Quan was too late to retreat to Guangling City and was surrounded by Zhang Liao's pursuers. With his army blocked in front and pursued from behind, he had no choice but to abandon Guangling County and flee to Jiujiang County.

"Sun Quan, you have nowhere to escape, why don't you surrender early?" Zhang Liao chased him relentlessly, his eyes full of killing intent.

"General, hurry up! I'll cover your retreat." In the critical moment, Zhou Tai stepped forward. His chest was bare, bleeding from multiple wounds, yet he seemed insensitive to the pain. He charged towards Zhang Liao, broadsword in hand.

Zhang Liao was an exceptionally brave warrior, and although Zhou Tai fought desperately, he still suffered multiple knife wounds, his clothes stained with blood. However, with his unyielding will, he bought Sun Quan a precious opportunity to retreat.

Seeing that Guangling County had been recovered, Zhang Liao looked at Sun Quan and others who were leaving, and knowing the principle of not chasing after a desperate enemy, he stopped pursuing them.

News of Sun Quan's 100,000-man army's defeat at Guangling spread back to Jiangdong. For a time, the people of Jiangdong were terrified. From then on, the mere mention of Zhang Wenyuan's name would cause children to stop crying in fear. Zhang Liao's fame terrified the people of Jiangdong.

Meanwhile, Suo Chao encounters an accident while traveling through time and space. He intends to return to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but ends up on the Japanese island again. He gazes across the sea towards Jingzhou, feeling extremely anxious.

If he wanted to return to his territory as soon as possible, he would have to go through a lot of trouble. The road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges, and Suo Chao didn't know if he could make it in time.
