Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 66: The Battle of the North

Early April, 184 AD

Suo Chao used the skill of "Eye of Truth" to repeatedly escape the encirclement of the Xianbei army and avoid being surrounded and annihilated. Murong Ke was furious!

"The cooked duck flew away!"

In this battle, Suo Chao and Ran Min's 3 cavalrymen lost nearly . This is war, a constant flow of death. They were also the children of their parents, the fathers of their children. These vibrant faces, one battle and they were forever separated. Suo Chao wanted to change this.

"My strength is still not enough. Suo Chao feels very sad!"

Suo Chao has felt powerless several times. He longs to bring peace and a happy life to the people of Mo Nan County, but the war ruthlessly shatters his beautiful vision.

Suo Chao knew that only by becoming stronger could he better protect the people of Mo Nan County. He secretly resolved to seek out opportunities and explore various methods to enhance his strength. Rumors circulated of a mysterious academy of national virtues and arts in the south. Since he was completely unfamiliar with magic and other supporting skills, perhaps he could venture there to explore.

"Let's talk about it later! Repelling the enemy is the most important thing right now!"

The Xianbei king's tent was suddenly attacked by Han troops, who slaughtered over 5000 Xianbei nobles, severely damaging Xianbei morale. Tan Shihuai ordered an encirclement and interception of Suo Chao and Ran Min. Along the way, Suo Chao and Ran Min fought and retreated, seemingly possessing clairvoyance, repeatedly escaping the army's encirclement. The Xianbei also lost over 1 cavalrymen.

"This is outrageous! There are so many of us, and we can't even keep these two people here."

"Khan, the enemy is weak. We still have 18 strong troops."

"Why don't we join forces with Zhang Liang's 15-man army and attack Bingzhou together?"

"Good idea! Revenge never waits. Let's act now."

Murong Chui and Tuoba Tao's 9-man army besieged Yunzhong County. Zhang Liang's 15-man army was divided into two groups: 7 troops besieged Dingxiang County and 8 troops besieged Shang County.

At the same time, Murong Ke's 4-man army attacked Wuwei County, while Tan Shihuai's 5-man army attacked Monan County. For a time, the Han Dynasty was besieged on all sides, and the undermanned northern region was plunged into a deep crisis. Suo Chao returned to Monan County and reclaimed his military power.

"Where is General Ran Min?"

"Ben will be there!"

"Murong Chui has cunning plans. You and Mr. Zheng will lead 10,000 mobile troops to assist Wuwei County Governor Huang Jun in defending the city."

"Remember, we must only hold our ground. We are outnumbered, and we must not open the city to fight Murong Ke."

"promise!"

"General Yan! You continue to defend Mo Nan County."

"promise!"

Monan and Shuofang counties had strong fortifications, and Yan Yan's defensive abilities were exceptional. Wang Jie and Liu Dao also returned from the prisoner-of-war camp and the cement manufacturing company to assist the Shuofang County governor in defending against the Xianbei army.

Soon, Suo Chao received a request for help from the governor of Dingxiang County, and he decided to go and take charge of the situation himself.

Ding Yuan, Taishi Ci, and Gongsun Zan, stationed in Bingzhou, jointly defended the two fortified cities of Jiuyuan and Yunzhong. Due to the overwhelming strength of the enemy, Yunzhong was in danger of falling several times.

Murong Chui surveyed the battlefield, his mind as clear as a mirror, his mind as confident as ever, as if everything was under control. His eyes, as sharp as a hawk's, scanned every corner of the battlefield, not missing a single flaw.

"My men, the Han army is failing! Let's charge the city walls together!"

慕容垂发动神阶.审时度势。武力值从94↑↑↑↑99点点,统御值从97↑↑↑↑107点。士气值从300点降至0点。

"Assess the situation!"

The Xianbei army's fighting power increased significantly, and they rushed forward like a tide, carrying ladders and pushing battering rams. While defending the city, Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers were greatly weakened.

Liu Yu's Earth-level talent skill, Restoring the Han Dynasty, was merely a supporting skill for power development and offered no combat benefit. Facing the relentless Xianbei army, they were powerless. Just as the city was about to fall, Taishi Ci suddenly appeared!

Taishi Ci wielded his spear, charging towards Murong Chui. He activated Heavenly Rank: Single Cavalry, increasing his Strength from 92 to 100, but the points overflowed and could no longer be increased. Morale dropped from 300 to 100, then quickly rebounded to 200.

The two exchanged blows, their spear moves equally powerful. Murong Chui felt something in his heart.

"Who is coming?"

"Donglai Taishi Ci!"

"The Han Dynasty is like a rotten tree, its decline difficult to curb. The people are suffering and complaining. Brother, why don't you join us, the Xianbei, and work together for a great cause that will last for thousands of years?

"Stop talking nonsense. I am a Han Chinese. How can I associate with an alien race?"

Murong Chui was unwilling to fail and continued.

"We Xianbei people possess a will of steel and fearless courage, like a burning flame, illuminating the dark sky. Our warriors are like tigers descending from the mountains, their might awe-inspiring; our counselors are like stars of wisdom, shining brightly."

"Stop talking, you thief! You've taken our Youzhou land and brought disaster to our Han people. Your crimes are unforgivable."

This man was so rude, but for some reason, this enemy general was the perfect general in his mind! Murong Chui still wanted to fight for it.

"Join us and you will become part of a great cause, striving for the prosperity of a unified nation. Let us join hands and create a new era, an era that belongs to all nations!"

Taishi Ci thrust his spear forward without saying a word!

......

Shangjun.

General Zhang Liang divided his troops into two groups. The left wing, led by Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao, totaling 7 men, attacked Shangjun. The right wing, commanded by Zhang Liang and Gao Sheng, totaling 8 men, attacked Dingxiang.

The left wing army encountered a stubborn resistance from the prefect Zhang Xiu in Shangjun. Zhang Xiu led the defenders in the city and engaged in a fierce battle with Zhang Liang's left wing army.

Zhang Xiu was skilled in spearmanship and fought bravely on the battlefield like a dragon emerging from the sea. However, Zhang Liang's left wing had a larger number of troops and gradually gained the upper hand.

At the critical moment, a mysterious army suddenly appeared. They were dressed in black robes and moved swiftly, like ghosts. This army attacked Zhang Liang's rear camp by surprise, throwing Zhang Liang's army into chaos.

Zhang Xiu seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, joining forces with a mysterious force to repel Zhang Liang's left wing. After the battle, Zhang Xiu learned that this mysterious force was led by a strategist named Xun You. Xun You, a resourceful and resourceful man, had long anticipated Zhang Liang's plan and secretly mobilized troops to provide Zhang Xiu with strong support.

After this battle, Zhang Xiu was deeply impressed by Xun You's wisdom. He decided to visit Xun You in person, hoping to establish a closer cooperative relationship with him.

When Zhang Xiu arrived at Xun You's tent, he saw Xun You deep in thought before a map. Xun You raised his head and greeted Zhang Xiu with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, you are extremely brave and your spear skills are outstanding. Gongda admires you!"

"Brother Gongda, you are too modest. Your wisdom and strategy are unparalleled. I admire you!"

The two had a pleasant conversation. Xun You analyzed the current situation for Zhang Xiu and offered some strategic suggestions. Zhang Xiu listened with great interest and felt that Xun You was a rare talent.

Under Xun You's guidance, Zhang Xiu decided to unite with other prefects to fight against the Yellow Turbans. They developed a detailed battle plan, ready to deal a fatal blow to Cheng Yuanzhi.

Yingchuan.

Zhu Jun suffered a setback in his first battle and was defeated by Bo Cai. As Changsha was in danger, Huangfu Song had no choice but to defend Changsha together with Zhu Jun.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun reorganized their troops and strengthened the city's defenses. At the same time, they sent people to various states for help.

Soon, reinforcements arrived in Changsha. Among them, a young general caught everyone's attention. His name was Sun Jian. He was brave and skilled in battle, and his soldiers were strictly disciplined.

"Wentai, you are indeed very brave!"

"General, you are too kind. Wentai is not talented, but he is appreciated by the Right General!"

A group of generals retreated to Changsha and discussed together how to repel Bo Cai's army that was besieging Changsha.

.....

Suo Chao rushed to Dingxiang County. Upon reaching the city walls, he was stunned by the bodies piled high and low. Densely packed corpses lay scattered in pools of blood. Many were ordinary civilians, without any armor or protective gear. Such bloody battles were taking place throughout the Han Dynasty. The fighting in the north was even more brutal.

"These are ordinary people!"

The Eastern Han population plummeted from over 5000 million to just over 2000 million, and war was the primary culprit. A deep sense of powerlessness washed over Suo Chao. Couldn't he have ended the war without bloodshed? ...
