Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The Liaodong tribes and the various counties of Youzhou were filled with fighting spirit. The Xianbei raised an army of 200,000, and their momentum was unstoppable!

"Defend Youzhou!"

"Repel the Han army!"

......

Among these 200,000 troops, four powerful generals, Tuoba Tao, Murong Chui, Yuwen Tai and Yu Lidi, personally commanded the 120,000-strong vanguard.

"The enemy has no good intentions! Let the four of us take the lead for now!" Murong Chui said solemnly.

"General Chui is right. Our troops will advance first." Yuwen Tai said.

Tuoba Tao and his four companions, each leading an army of 30,000, were stationed in key locations such as Shanggu, Dai, Zhuo, and Guangyang. These four counties were the gateways to Youzhou and held crucial strategic positions.

"We must guard the gateway to Youzhou."

"Warriors, for the glory of Xianbei, kill the enemies to your heart's content!"

"The Xianbei will win!"

Behind the vanguard came the 80,000-strong army led by Mika and Suli, who followed closely, ready for battle. Their marching speed couldn't keep up with the four generals, leaving them a considerable distance behind.

"Brother Suli, the four generals have arrived at the Youzhou front. We must speed up."

"Brother Mika, you are right! To avoid the general's blame."

......

Upon hearing of the Han army's impending northern expedition to Youzhou, the combined forces of the Xianbei and Xiongnu, like wolves scenting blood, bared their fangs and claws, charging forward once again with fury. In an instant, the situation shifted, and the entire northern land was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

"Report! Khan, General Murong and General Yuwen have sent a letter asking for help." The messenger came on horseback, his face full of anxiety and fatigue, with sweat streaming down his cheeks.

Murong Ke frowned, took the letter, and read it carefully. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and his fingers tightly grasped the letter, as if he wanted to crush it.

"General Budugen, the Han army is launching a large-scale invasion of Youzhou. The military situation is extremely urgent." After reading the letter, Murong Ke handed it to Budugen and said in a low voice.

Budugen took the letter, read it, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He gently stroked his chin, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Khan, I wonder how we should use our troops?" Budugen raised his head and looked at Murong Ke, his eyes full of anticipation.

Murong Ke pondered for a moment, a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes. He stood up, walked to the map, pointed to a place on the map, and said:

"The Han army is short of manpower in the north. Why don't we try to attack Wei and save Zhao?"

Budugen listened, and a glint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said:

"Khan, this is a brilliant plan."

Murong Ke smiled slightly and said:

"Then let's take action immediately!"

After saying this, Murong Ke and Budugen began to deploy their troops, preparing to implement the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao.

Across the vast expanse of the desert north, the Xianbei assembled a massive army, numbering as many as 150,000! This elite force was led by Xianbei generals such as Murong Ke, He Lian, Murong Huang, Budugen, Duan Ji and Lu Juan. Like a violent hurricane, they swept in, their sights set on Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong counties.

Meanwhile, Xianbei spies quietly infiltrated the northern region, spreading rumors and creating panic, causing the northern defenders to panic. When Governor Ding Yuan learned that the Xianbei army was besieging the three counties, he hurriedly ordered Zhao Yun and Liu Yu to strengthen the defenses.

The Xiongnu also seized the opportunity to launch an attack, raising an army of 150,000 and invading the northern counties. Led by generals such as Maodun Chanyu, Liu Yuan, Zhizhi Chanyu, and Helian Bobo, these Xiongnu troops, like a pack of hungry wolves, pounced fiercely on the Eastern Han fortresses.

When Yan Yan learned that the enemy was coming with great force, he felt heavy in his heart and decisively issued an order:

"Defend the defense line of Mo Nan County with all your strength and never let the Xiongnu army cross the line!"

"Yes, sir!" The generals responded in unison, their voices sonorous and powerful, revealing their firm determination and fearless courage.

Then, Yan Yan turned to one of the generals and said:

"General Liu, we also need to strengthen communication with General Ran Min. If you find anything unusual in Beidi County, report it to me immediately."

"I obey your command!" General Liu responded with a fist salute.

Yan Yan knew the stakes were high and no negligence was tolerated. Therefore, he personally oversaw the preparations for battle, meticulously preparing a large number of defensive fortifications—pits, kerosene, rocks, and other supplies—just in case the enemy attacked.

At this time, the people of Mo'nan County heard that foreign races were invading their homes, and they stepped forward and volunteered to go to the front line to assist the defenders in fighting.

"This is what the people want!" Yan Yan said with emotion.

Although these ordinary people had no professional military training, they had a strong fighting spirit and an indomitable spirit. Under Yan Yan's command, they quickly threw themselves into combat preparations, digging traps, and moving supplies, demonstrating a strong momentum of unity and solidarity in resisting foreign enemies.

......

Outside Shanggu County.

Suo Chao, clad in heavy armor and holding a spear, stood majestically at the front of the 30,000-strong army. The soldiers behind him were disciplined and had high morale.

The walls of Shanggu County were filled with Xianbei soldiers. Twenty thousand of them, led by Tuoba Tao, were firmly defending Shanggu County. They gripped their weapons tightly and stared nervously at the enemy troops below.

Suo Chao's face was solemn, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's as he stared at the front. He thought to himself:

"My old rival Tuoba Tao? He's really tough to deal with!"

At this time, Zheng Hewen beside him whispered: "General, how should we attack Shanggu County?"

Suo Chao pondered for a moment, then replied firmly:

"Shanggu County is the key to our army's entry into Youzhou. We must take it! All troops, listen to my orders. We must capture this city!"

Suo Chao then methodically began to lay out his battle plan. He quickly deployed his troops and assigned tasks. His expression was serious, his eyes determined, and he was filled with a desire for victory.

Suo Chao ordered a portion of his troops to feint and attack the city's east gate. A soldier who resembled Suo Chao stood at the forefront, accompanied by Zheng Hewen, the Northern Guard Commander.

Another team of soldiers quietly went around to the south gate, led by Suo Chao himself, and prepared to launch a surprise attack.

East gate.

The battle horn blew, and Zheng Hewen ordered the catapults and archers to attack. The roar of blood shook the heavens. The battlefield was covered in dust and chaos. In front of them were sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, guarding the ladders and battering rams, as they slowly advanced towards the city gate.

"Hey! Mr. Zheng, will our massive attack be effective?"

"General, this is a brilliant plan!"

"Yes, the more fierce the battle at the East Gate, the more promising the results of General Suo's surprise attack will be!"

At the south gate of Shanggu County, Suo Chao approached the gate like a ghost, ready to strike. When the distance was right, he instantly activated his divine movement, drawing the Nine-Glory Thunder Spear like a flash of lightning, and then immediately unleashed the seventh move of the Divine Nine-Absolute Spear.

"Man and gun become one!"

There was a loud bang, and the city gate shook violently, as if it would burst at any moment. Suo Chao took advantage of the victory and launched the eighth move.

"The sky is falling and the earth is splitting!" Under his fierce attack, the South City Gate was smashed in, as if it could not withstand a single blow.

Suo Chao rushed into the city as if he were in an empty space and began to kill mercilessly. His moves were as fierce as a storm.

"Total Annihilation!"

"Kill in all directions!"

The enemy fell wherever they went. Seeing this, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted and they shouted:

"Haha, the general is mighty!"

"Brothers, charge!" They rushed towards the city gate like a tide and fought bravely with Suo Chao.

Suo Chao led the charge, his spear wielding impenetrable and each strike hitting the enemy's vital points accurately. Soon, the Han army completely captured the South Gate.

"Haha, good job, brothers. Follow this general and charge towards the east gate!"

"The general is mighty!"

"Kill!"

The South Gate had been lost, and the defenders in the city were suddenly panicked and in chaos.

Zheng Hewen was overjoyed when he learned that Suo Chao had succeeded. He immediately brandished his sword and shouted:

"Soldiers, follow me!" After saying that, he took the lead and led the main force to charge towards the east gate like a tide.

"Soldiers! All forces launch a fierce attack!" Zheng Hewen's voice was filled with excitement and inspiration. His eyes gleamed with determination, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

However, Tuoba Tao also demonstrated extraordinary military talent. He remained calm in the face of danger, commanding the soldiers defending the city calmly and deploying troops to resist the Han army's front and back attacks. The two sides fell into a stalemate, and the battle situation was temporarily deadlocked.

"Tuoba Tao is indeed a tough guy! General Suo, let's besiege Tuoba Tao together." Zheng Hewen looked at Tuoba Tao with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"That's exactly what I meant!" Suo Chao nodded and responded. He swung the spear even more fiercely, each strike carrying the determination to kill.

Assaulted from both within and without, Tuoba Tao's defenders gradually collapsed. They abandoned their weapons and fled. Seeing the situation was hopeless, Tuoba Tao felt a surge of despair. He knew he could not reverse the defeat, but he refused to give up.

"Kill!" Tuoba Tao brandished his sword and bravely charged towards the Han army. His eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness, as if he was willing to defend his last dignity with his own life.

"Unparalleled! Sword Domain Dimensional Space!"

......

After several hours of fierce fighting, Suo Chao finally succeeded in capturing Shanggu County. This victory not only opened the way to Youzhou for the allied forces but also successfully captured Tuoba Tao. Looking upon the newly conquered Shanggu County, Suo Chao was filled with joy and pride. He knew full well that this victory was hard-won, earned at the cost of the blood and lives of countless Han soldiers.
