Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

One day, Suo Chao received intelligence that a small Xianbei force was planning a surprise attack on Xincheng, so he immediately summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Old General, the Xianbei army is harassing Mo Nan County this time. What are your thoughts?"

"The Xianbei have forgotten the pain after their wounds have healed. We should take the initiative and teach them a severe lesson."

"Yes! That's what the old general said."

Suo Chao led 10,000 cavalrymen to set out at night to attack the Xianbei army camp. Under the cover of darkness, they broke into the enemy camp like ghosts.

Tuoba Tao led the Xianbei troops this time. He personally led 1 Xianbei soldiers to attack Mo Nan County. Facing a night attack, Tuoba Tao was prepared and remained calm.

Suo Chao activated the "know yourself and know your enemy" skill, and Tuoba Tao's attribute panel appeared in his mind.

【Military General: Tuoba Tao】

Speed: 80/100 (upgradeable)

Talented Skills: Earth Rank. Expand Territory (Increases allied troops' Strength by 5 points); Earth Rank. Stabilize the Four Directions (Increases allied troops' Constitution by 10 points); Yellow Rank. Severe Punishment (When defeating an enemy army, you can capture enemy generals with lower Strength than your own; your troops will be in awe, and their Strength will increase by 1 point.)

Suo Chao's face was solemn. This was his first time facing a general with such comprehensive attributes. Controlling basic attributes determined a unit's attack, defense, and destructive power.

"This unit is quite powerful!"

From the outset of the battle, both sides engaged in a fierce clash. Tuoba Tao led the Xianbei army and charged towards the enemy camp like a tiger descending from a mountain. His long spear swung through the air, and wherever it touched, the enemy fell to the ground.

"Warriors, follow me and kill them! They're coming for another night attack. They must have run out of tricks!"

Suo Chao showed no sign of weakness. He brandished the Nine-Star Thunder Spear like a god of war. Wherever the spear tip touched, the enemy's flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"Soldiers, crush the enemy camp!"

The two armies met and immediately fell into a melee. The shouts of soldiers and the clashing of weapons intertwined:

"Clang!"

"Qiang Qiang!"

"Ding Ding!"

"Kakaka!"

"Crack crack!"

......

Tuoba Tao charged left and right amidst the chaotic enemy, as if he were in an empty space. His eyes were filled with determination and courage, and every move he made was accompanied by the intention of killing. Suo Chao charged towards Tuoba Tao with his spear, doing his utmost to stop this killer.

On the battlefield, flags fluttered and the cries of killing shook the heavens. Tuoba Tao rode a steed, spear in hand, with ten thousand elite Xianbei soldiers following behind him.

The Xianbei cavalry, clad in heavy armor, marched with imposing force. Tuoba Tao shouted, unleashing his Earth-tier martial art: "National Unity."

"National unity!"

Suo Chao's morale value dropped to 250 points. Fortunately, he didn't rely on morale to activate his martial arts, but on the true qi he cultivated.

"A stunning shot"

Tuoba Tao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and thought to himself:

"It seems that this gun skill is not of divine level."

Budugen boasted about his spearmanship so impressively that Tuoba Tao thought it was beyond the Heaven Rank. Tuoba Tao unleashed the Earth Rank skill "Expand Territory." His strength increased to 90 points. He faced Suo Chao and thrust his spear forward as well.

"Haha, nice shot."

Suo Chao, known for his unstoppable "stunning shot," encountered a rival of equal strength for the first time. His first strike was ineffective. The two continued to clash for more than a dozen moves, with Suo Chao gaining a slight advantage.

"How can this be?"

"Hmm. It seems that my level is not enough. Let's try again."

Tuoba Tao let out a long shout, consuming 30 points of physical strength, and continuously used the Earth-level "Expanding Territory" skill.

"Expand the territory!"

"Expand the territory!"

Tuoba Tao's Force reached 100 points. Earth-level attributes can be amplified three times. The combat effectiveness of Tuoba Tao's cavalry also increased dramatically. Suo Chao ordered his troops to seek an opportunity to retreat. Today's surprise attack wasn't effective; the enemy seemed prepared.

"You retreat first!"

"General, no! If we have to leave, let's leave together!"

The Xianbei army's combat power and morale increased significantly. The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, which was very unfavorable for Suo Chao's cavalry. Suo Chao faced unprecedented pressure.

The two exchanged dozens of blows without further ado. Suo Chao didn't gain any advantage, and instead seemed to be falling behind. The prospect of defeat loomed large in his mind.

"A force value of 100 is terrifying!"

"Are you nothing more than this? He Lian is too weak. That's why this brat became famous."

Suo Chao remained silent. There was no need to continue this battle. Even if he could resist Tuoba Tao, Suo Chao's cavalry could not stop the Xianbei cavalry.

"All troops, listen up! Follow me and retreat. I will cover your retreat!"

Suo Chao mobilized all his energy, activated his divine movement, and unleashed the third move of his Nine Spears: "A Glimpse of the Stunning." Suo Chao's figure was like a phantom, constantly leaping through the Xianbei army's formation.

"The sky is falling apart"

"Total Annihilation"

"Killing in all directions"

"Killing in all directions"

......

Suo Chao used killing to stop the killing, curbing the Xianbei army's offensive rhythm. He was like a god of war who stood alone against the enemy, blocking the attack route of many Xianbei soldiers.

He bought precious time for his cavalry to evacuate the battlefield. Soon, Tuoba Tao came again, and Suo Chao did not continue to fight and quickly left the battlefield.

"Tuoba Tao, right? You are very strong. I will remember you."

"I can't defeat you this time. See you later!"

In this battle, Tuoba Tao defeated Suo Chao at the cost of his physical strength. Tuoba Tao did not continue to pursue him, as his goal had been achieved.

"General, shall we continue to pursue?"

"That's not necessary. Although our army defeated the Han army, our strategic intention of launching a surprise attack on Mo Nan County has been exposed."

"There's no need to pursue him. The enemy general Suo Chao's speed is very strange. If he really wants to escape, I can't stop him."

Xianbei Tuoba Tao vs. Han Suo Chao: Tuoba Tao wins. Suo Chao flees in disgrace.

After this battle, Tuoba Tao's reputation spread throughout the entire Xianbei tribe, and the Xianbei people admired and trusted him even more.

Tuoba Tao alone was so formidable. If Tan Shihuai, Murong Ke, and Murong Chui were all present, Suo Chao would definitely be defeated. Facing four great gods alone, he was no god of war, so his first instinct was to escape.

"It takes three to make a hero. You can't fight alone anymore."

Suo Chao was a little disappointed after his first defeat, but victory and defeat were common in the military, so he didn't continue to waste his energy on it.

After he returned to Beidi County, he immediately went to Huangfu Song's tent to report to him about the battle with the Xianbei army.

Suo Chao walked into the tent and saw Huangfu Song sitting at a desk, a map in his hand, his brow furrowed. His face looked slightly tired, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination.

"Old General, our army suffered a setback in this battle. It was my fault. I'm here to apologize." Suo Chao knelt on one knee and said guiltily.

Huangfu Song raised his head and looked at Suo Chao, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He stood up, walked to Suo Chao, and helped him up.

"Bo Yi! It's okay. You broke the Xianbei army's surprise attack plan, so it's not a complete failure." Huangfu Song patted Suo Chao's shoulder and said.

"Old General. Tuoba Tao of Xianbei is very difficult to deal with. He is worthy of being an SS-level general!" Suo Chao stood up, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"In just a few months, I didn't expect the Xianbei army to recover so quickly. Murong Ke and Murong Chui are not ordinary people either." Huangfu Song nodded and said.

"Yes, old general. The northern counties need to strengthen their defenses. We have to rely on you, old general, for this matter." Suo Chao said.

"Okay. Boyi, you and I will write a report to explain the new situation of the Xianbei to the court." Huangfu Song said.

"Once the imperial court issues an order, I will inform all the counties in the north." Suo Chao said.

Suo Chao and Huangfu Song finished their reports. Their faces looked slightly tired, but their eyes revealed a hint of relief. They exchanged a glance, as if encouraging each other.

Then, Suo Chao stood up, stretched his stiff body, walked to the table, picked up the sealed report, and handed it to a soldier next to him.

The soldier took the report and walked out of the tent. His steps were firm and powerful, showing the importance he attached to the mission.

Suo Chao and Huangfu Song followed the soldiers out of the tent. They looked up and saw the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that it might rain at any time.

"I hope the rain won't be too heavy, so as not to delay the delivery of the report." Suo Chao said worriedly.

"Yes, we have tried our best. Now it depends on the court." Huangfu Song comforted.

The two returned to the tent and continued to wait for news. They were a little nervous, after all, the situation in Monan County was related to the safety of the entire Han Dynasty.
