"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Sun Ce half knelt on the ground and put his hand on the Conqueror of Western Chu's shoulder to prevent him from falling directly to the ground. The hard bluestone under his feet was completely crushed. His arm was trembling. Yes, trembling. Sun Ce's face was no longer ruddy but pale. It was a kind of pale without any blood.
His armor was also broken. There was a torn wound on his shoulder that was still bleeding. Sun Ce's entire arm was almost cut off.
He had lost! He had actually lost! He had also reached the peak of God Refinement! It was not that Sun Ce was weak, but that his opponent was too strong.
"Hahahaha!" Sun Ce suddenly laughed. It was not a bitter laugh, but a laugh of true happiness. What was the happiest thing for a general? The first was to render meritorious service. The second was to find a worthy opponent!
This battle made Sun Ce's whole body excited.
"Prepare to die!" Huang Zhong was not any better. He was too tired. First, he fought with Jiang Qin. Although it was a game of cat and mouse, it was also very tiring. After all, if he accidentally killed Jiang Qin, there would be no more fun.
After that, Sun Ce, Taishi Ci, and Jiang Qin besieged Huang Zhong. When he returned to the city wall, he once again joined the battle.
Huang Zhong's golden sword had a hole in it. The breastplate on his chest was also broken. Destroy a country? This was the last attack of Chu Bawang! That's right! Didn't Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu, destroy the Great Qin Empire? Although Chu had three households, Qin Dynasty must be destroyed!
What a pity! Although Xiang Yu had the ability to destroy a country, he did not have the ability to rule a country. In the end, he could only commit suicide in the Wu River.
Huang Zhong stared at Sun Ce in front of him. This person was too terrifying. He was able to break through in a battle of life and death. As soon as he reached the peak of God Refinement, he did not want to go back and comprehend this realm. Instead, he wanted to use Huang Zhong as a training stone to slowly master the realm of God Refinement. If he did not kill him this time, it would be really difficult to kill him next time.
"Die?!" Sun Ce raised the corner of his mouth. "I lost, but I don't want to die!" He struggled to stand up, and the Overlord Spear in his hand once again.
Dragon slaying! Is this the Dragon Slaying Technique? Sun Ce looked at the chipped golden blade. Sun Ce's wife's father, the Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong, Sun Jian, was also a master of the blade. When his father was alive, he once told him that there was a blade technique in this world that had reached perfection, and that was the Dragon Slaying Technique. Dragon slaying? Although the whole of Huaxia had always thought of themselves as the descendants of the dragon, and even the Emperor compared themselves to the Son of Heaven and the real dragon, who had ever seen a real dragon? Therefore, Sun Ce only smiled after listening to him and treated him as a joke. There was also a record in Zhuangzi: Lie Yukou, Zhu Manman learned how to slay dragons from Zhi Liyi. He spent three years to master the technique, but he did not use any tricks.
It was this Zhu Manman who learned the technique of slaying dragons from Zhi Liyi. He spent all of his family's fortune to learn it for three years. After he finished his apprenticeship, he found that there was no use for it.
It was not that Zhuang Zi was wrong, but what Zhuang Zi wrote was that after Zhu Yiman learned the Dragon Slaying Technique, his martial arts had reached a certain level, and no one in the world could be his opponent. Thus, he put down his saber, and the Dragon Slaying Technique was drowned in history.
Today, Sun Ce actually saw the real Dragon Slaying Technique.
"Are you still trying to struggle?" Although Huang Zhong was shocked that his Dragon Slaying Technique did not kill Sun Ce, Huang Zhong was confident that in his current state, he could take Sun Ce's head within twenty moves. As long as he killed Sun Ce, this battle would really be over.
"Struggle? Hehe, you can't kill me! " Sun Ce knew that he was not Huang Zhong's opponent. He was not looking down on Huang Zhong, but he knew that he could not die.
"Are you doubting my blade's sharpness?" Huang Zhong's eyes flashed coldly. "Even the Dragon Slaying Technique could not kill you because of Xiang Yu's destruction. Now, you can die!"
Huang Zhong waved the golden blade in his hand again and rushed towards Sun Ce.
Sun Ce quickly dodged. He was not a fool. Although he was Jiangdong's Little Conqueror and liked to charge in front, he knew when to retreat. If he went up to Huang Zhong, he would be the one to die.
"Twenty moves!" Sun Ce said as he retreated. "You will kill me in twenty moves!" Sun Ce once again clashed with the golden blade in Huang Zhong's hand. This time, Sun Ce could not hold the Overlord Spear in his hand. The web between his thumb and index finger had split open, and blood had dyed the black spear red.
"If you know, then why are you still struggling? Give up, I can give you a quick death! " Huang Zhong looked at Sun Ce in front of him. To be honest, he admired this kid. He was young, but he had an army of 100,000 soldiers. In terms of martial arts, he had reached the pinnacle of God Refinement. Although Huang Zhong had also reached the pinnacle of God Refinement, he did not have such great achievements as Sun Ce.
Sun Jian really gave birth to a good son. Huang Zhong really envied Sun Jian. If Sun Jian was still alive, this Sun clan's tiger father and tiger son would really be terrifying. Perhaps even Lu Bu would have to retreat to some extent.
Fortunately, Sun Jian died under Huang Zu's hands. At this moment, Huang Zhong finally had a good impression of Huang Zu.
"Hehe, cough, cough!" Sun Ce spat out a mouthful of blood in the battle with Huang Zhong. His body was weak. He had gained too much experience and comprehension in this battle. If he went back and properly comprehended it, he would not be so miserable the next time he met Huang Zhong. However, all of this was on the premise that he had the opportunity to go back. If he could not go back and be killed by Huang Zhong here, then he would be nothing. What was the difference between the corpse of a pinnacle of God Refinement and the corpse of an ordinary soldier?
"You can kill me on the spot in twenty moves, but before I die, there will be someone to accompany me!" Sun Ce could still laugh at this time, which really made Huang Zhong admire him.
"Why do you want to drag me to the grave?" A person could be killed when he was proud, but this kind of carelessness did not belong to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong was old, but old also had the advantage of being old, and that was calmness.
"Not you! It's your Little Lord! Our beloved Royal Highness King Of Shu! "Sun Ce's spear was pointed to the other side.
"Huh?" Huang Zhong frowned. He was afraid of falling into Sun Ce's trap, so he just turned his eyes. However, Huang Zhong panicked. His Little Lord, King Of Shu, was besieged. Originally, it was only two generals, Chen Wu and Dong Xi, who could hold on, but more and more Danyang soldiers climbed up the city wall. Now, there were more Danyang soldiers on the city wall than the City Guard.
Twenty moves. Huang Zhong could kill Sun Ce in twenty moves, but so what? The City Guard would not be able to hold on for more than twenty moves. Two generals were equivalent to a thousand soldiers. Huang Zhong could not watch Liu Mang get killed. Not to mention that Liu Mang was his master, Liu Mang had saved his son, so he could not let Liu Mang get into trouble.
"Humph!" Huang Zhong quickly put away his sword and let go of Sun Ce, then went towards Liu Mang.
"Stop him!" Sun Ce coughed, but he still gave the order without hesitation.
"Yes!" Although the Danyang soldiers were unruly, they knew that Sun Ce was their Lord. One by one, they rushed towards Huang Zhong.
"Sun Ce, don't force me!" Huang Zhong's eyes flashed coldly. It would take a long time for Huang Zhong to clear the Danyang soldiers in front of him.
"Haha, I will force you!" Sun Ce knew that the more anxious Huang Zhong was to rush to Liu Mang's side, the less likely he would attack him. Sun Ce took a fancy to Huang Zhong's loyalty. Unfortunately, this kind of general could not be used by him. Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian, Liu Mang, and Liu Hanyang, what kind of virtue and ability did they have to have such loyal and fierce generals to help them? One was a slave of three surnames, and the other was a King Of Shu who only knew how to talk big.
One by one, the Danyang soldiers rushed forward. The Danyang soldiers were afraid of death, but once you killed one of them, the others would fight you to the death. This was because the person you killed might be an aunt or a brother. And the more you killed, the more hatred you would attract, and the crazier these Danyang soldiers would become.
As long as he could drag Huang Zhong down to Wancheng city, Huang Zhong would only have two options. One was to surrender, and the other was to continue to resist. A general at the peak of Spirit Refinement was strong, and he could even fight against ten thousand people. But so what if he could fight against ten thousand people? Sun Ce had 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
However, Sun Ce miscalculated. "Why should I go? As long as I can catch you, I can also catch the little lord! "Huang Zhong directly turned his blade towards Sun Ce's direction.
"What!" Sun Ce also panicked. He did not think that Huang Zhong would think like this. Indeed, Huang Zhong would not be able to kill him in twenty rounds, but after twenty rounds, he would not have the ability to resist. And relying on these Danyang soldiers in front of him, he would not be able to do anything.
Although the Danyang soldiers were strong, they were only the elites among the soldiers. They were not generals, so naturally, they would not know the terror of a general.
Sun Ce did not know whether His Highness the King Of Shu would die in twenty rounds, but he knew that he would be finished.
Should he use himself to exchange for the King Of Shu? To catch bandits, first catch the king? This Huang Zhong was really both wise and brave.
Sun Ce could not die without doing anything. He could only support his body and once again pick up the Overlord Spear. It was not that he did not want the Danyang soldiers to open a path for him, but the Danyang soldiers were already in a killing frenzy. The number of Danyang soldiers who would die in the hands of Huang Zhong would not be less than ten. It could be said that he had completely offended these Danyang soldiers.
Moreover, this was also an opportunity. If he could hold on and wait for Chen Wu and Dong Xi to capture the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, then Wan Cheng city would fall.
Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Formation Breaker were definitely the kings of land warfare. Although Sun Ce was arrogant, he also knew that if he fought against these two elites, even if he won, he would suffer heavy casualties. Not to mention, he might not be able to win. So now, he must capture Wan Cheng city. With Wan Cheng city in his hands, Sun Ce would have a barrier. No matter how strong the heavy cavalry was, he would not be able to attack the city. As mentioned before, Wan Cheng city was an important town. Since Lu Kang, it had become the governing center of Lujiang. After Liu Xun, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce had strengthened it.
Moreover, Sun Ce had not fought against Wan Cheng city before. In the past, he led Yuan Shu's troops and used his own generals. But Lu Kang relied on Lu Family's private army to defend Wan Cheng city for two years.
Two years! Two years was enough for Sun Ce to defeat Jiang Xia. Two years was enough for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to determine the winner. Sun Ce could not afford to waste these two years.
"Fight to the death!" Sun Ce roared. The Danyang ruffian soldiers on the side were also angry. "Fight to the death, fight to the death!" Huang Zhong had killed too many of their relatives. Huang Zhong had killed all of their relatives.
Sun Ce was fighting to the death here, Liu Mang was also fighting to the death there.
Liu Mang finally understood this truth. An army without a general would not be able to gain a foothold. Cao Wei could not unify the world directly because he did not have a general like Lü Bu. He had Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and his brothers, Ferocious Cavalry, Guo Jia, Xun Family's uncle and nephew, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and others. But he still could not defeat Wu and Shu.
At the Battle of Changban, Zhang Fei alone stopped an army of ten thousand. He even roared Xia Houjie to death. Cao Cao had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he did not dare to directly cross the Battle of Changban. Other than being afraid of being misled, there was another important problem. Cao Cao's army did not have any valiant generals. Zhang Fei was a top tier general. At the Battle of Changban, he might have already reached the peak of refinement stage like Lu Bu and Huang Zhong.
Who would dare to fight with such a person? It was simply asking for trouble. Who would dare to fight with Zhang Liao and his brothers? They would be courting death if they went up. Cao Jun could not find a warrior comparable to Zhang Fei except for Xu Chu. But Xu Chu was Cao Cao's personal guard. Who would protect Cao Cao?
Not to mention, Liu Bei did not only have Zhang Fei as his subordinates. Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and even Chen Dao were all peerless generals.
Although Zhao Yun and Zhao Zi Long were ordered by Cao Cao not to shoot, they would have been captured alive if they did not have the strength.
Now, Liu Mang deeply realized the benefits of having a general in the army. If Chengyu and Gan Ning were here, it would not be like this!
"Peng!" Another Urban Army soldier was sent flying by the impact.
"Swish!" Huang Xu's bow and arrow were quickly shot. His arrows hit the target every time. But there were too many enemies. The remaining 2000 City Guard soldiers also joined the battle. The whole Wancheng city was filled with the sound of killing. Sun Cejun was crazy. Did they really want to take down Wancheng city in one day?
The sky gradually darkened, but Sun Cejun did not show any signs of retreat. Instead, more and more people rushed to the city wall.
Reinforcements. If there were reinforcements, then there would be no need to do this.
Liu Mang is still holding his ground. Although Chen Wu and Dong Xi led Danyang soldiers to kill a lot of them, Urban Army also suffered a lot of casualties. Basically, the ratio of casualties is 1: 1.
The Danyang soldiers could do this, but the City Guard could not. Although 3000 City Guard soldiers were a lot, there were also many places that needed to be taken care of. Liu Mang only had 300 soldiers, but now there were at least two battalions of Danyang soldiers on the city wall.
Liu family's 5000 private soldiers were now left with less than 2000 soldiers. And those who were seriously injured were also included. At most, there were only 1000 soldiers left.
The City Guard had more than 2800 soldiers on the city wall, but now there were less than 2000 soldiers left.
In other words, there were only 3000 soldiers left in Wan Cheng, and the Danyang soldiers only lost less than 3000 soldiers. In other places, there were still other troops of Sun Cejun.
Exchanging 3000 soldiers and 1000 elite soldiers for 3000 Danyang soldiers was already a big victory. If it was a fair battle, Sun Cejun would have already lost. But don't forget, this was a battlefield, and there was no fairness in war.
"Your Highness King Of Shu, surrender!" Chen Wu smashed the head of one of the Liu family's private soldiers with his staff. The white and red parts of the staff smashed together. It was very disgusting, but Chen Wu didn't care about it. How could a person who had walked out of the battlefield care about such things?
"Surrender? Haha! Do you think it is possible to surrender now? " Liu Mang angrily glared at the two of them. Most of the casualties of Urban Army were caused by the two of them. Danyang soldiers were fighting against the dragons and Urban Army together. Danyang soldiers were simply not enough to fight against them. Not to mention the heavy armored infantry in front of them.
"If you don't surrender, only death is left for you!" Chen Wu's face sank. Capturing him alive was definitely more valuable than killing him. But if he could not capture him alive, then so what if he died?
"Wu, don't try to persuade me. I want his flesh!" Dong Xi licked his lips.
"No! You can only kill him, you can't eat him! " Chen Wu shook his head. Liu Mang was the King Of Shu, and he was a relative of the Han dynasty. Although the Han dynasty was not worth anything, the King Of Shu's name was still a bit big. He could die, he could be beheaded, but he absolutely could not be eaten. Eat a king! You are forcing Cao Cao and those righteous warlords to besiege you!
The two men discussed as if Liu Mang was already a fish on the chopping board. They did not care about Liu Mang at all.
The Lvbu's Army did not have any reinforcements. Most of the troops were in Shucheng. Even if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry rushed over, it would still take two days. These two days were enough for Sun Cejun to capture Wan Cheng.
"As long as I, Liu Mang, am here, you can forget about capturing Wan Cheng!" Liu Mang clenched his teeth. He had consumed too much energy. From Sun Cejun's arrival until now, Liu Mang had not stopped. However, he could not lose Wan Cheng. The Lvbu's Army only had people who died in battle, not soldiers who surrendered.
"Since that is the case, then die for me!" Chen Wu was furious. He had consumed too much time. "Dong Xi, together!"
"Hahaha, Wu, you finally want to do this!" Dong Xi opened his mouth and laughed crazily: "Half an hour, half an hour, I want to capture Wan Cheng!"
Dong Xi and Chen Wu were only second-rate warlords. Although Dong Xi had a strong physique and great strength, it could only be displayed against people who were weaker than him. If he encountered a real expert, Dong Xi would be finished. Not to mention others, Dong Xi could not even defeat Jiang Qin. However, Jiang Qin would not easily provoke Dong Xi. In addition to the disgusting fact that Dong Xi liked to eat human flesh, there was another reason to fight against Dong Xi. Dong Xi was not fighting against one person, but against Dong Xi, Chen Wu and Dong Xi.
Combined attacks were something that both of them were good at. Chen Wu and Dong Xi could only be considered second-rate warlords. However, once the two of them worked together, they could be considered first-rate warlords. Chen Wu and Dong Xi had once tied with Taishi Ci.
"Kill!" Dong Xi took the lead and rushed forward without any scruples. Dong Xi's physique was huge, so he was able to break through the enemy's ranks and sweep away everything in his way. But because of his huge physique, he needed to defend against a lot of attacks. Because of this, Dong Xi didn't dare to rush forward too much. For example, before, the Urban Army's spears had already cut off a piece of flesh from Dong Xi's body. If there were a few more spears, Dong Xi would be almost dead. But with Chen Wu, it was different. Chen Wu's pair of wrought iron rods completely covered all of Dong Xi's shortcomings.
The Wrought Iron Rods formed a defensive circle that helped Dong Xi block all the attacks. Dong Xi was only responsible for charging forward without any scruples!
Liu Mang was 1.8 meters tall, but standing in front of Dong Xi, he looked like a child. This monster was more than two meters tall, compared to Lü Bu, he was more than eight feet tall.
Every time Dong Xi ran, the ground would tremble. Being hit by him would result in a complete mess. Coupled with the pair of iron hammers in Dong Xi's hands, he was completely a meat grinder.
"Awesome, awesome, hahahahaha!" The City Guard retreated as they fought. They collided with Dong Xi twice. Apart from vomiting blood, one of their giant shields was destroyed, but Dong Xi was not injured at all. The other Liu family's private soldiers who did not have a giant shield to protect them were not so lucky.
They were directly crushed by Dong Xi's body. When the giant hammers smashed on their bodies, all the armor was like paper. Blood splattered everywhere. When the hammers were pulled out, they were still covered in flesh. Dong Xi grabbed them and threw them into his mouth.
"Delicious, delicious!"
