"It's impossible to let you shoot a second time!" Sun Ce's eyes flashed. He was a general, so he knew the power of the steel arrow. It was beyond the limit of a human. Sun Ce also broke through the peak of refinement spirit, so he naturally knew how terrible the arrow was. Although the well fence was very close to the wall, it was still a hundred steps away. Moreover, the load bearing part of the well fence was made of giant wood. Its defense was stronger than any heavy armor, and it was several feet thick. Huang Zhong's steel arrow not only hit the well fence, but also directly penetrated the giant wood, and the parts near the steel arrow directly turned into powder. The steel arrow directly sank into the ground.
If this kind of arrow was shot on a person's body! Sun Ce shuddered, but that was it. Sun Ce could not let Huang Zhong shoot a second arrow. He also knew that Huang Zhong could not shoot this kind of arrow in one go. He needed a lot of luck. Sure enough, Huang Zhong on the wall was gasping for breath.
Shooting this kind of well fence was more tiring than fighting against Lü Bu. Fighting against Lü Bu required a high degree of concentration, and shooting through this kind of well fence required a lot of strength. If the strength was small, it would not be able to injure the well fence.
Therefore, when he pulled the steel arrow, the veins on Huang Zhong's entire arm were exposed. He was now gasping for breath. Because he had used up too much energy, his arms were sore.
"Zijing, I will leave this to you!" Sun Ce patted Lu Su's shoulder. The warmth of his hand made Lu Su's heart move.
"Milord!" Lu Su looked at Sun Ce.
"I will go!" Sun Ce's eyes were once again filled with fanaticism. This time, he was not crazy, but excited. Before, he was completely confused by his evil thoughts. That was why he was so angry and self-opinionated.
But now, he was sober. Jiangdong's Little Conqueror was back.
"Jia!" Sun Ce suddenly patted his horse and rushed towards Wancheng city.
"General Dong Xi, quickly follow Milord!" Lu Su did not know why he was worried about Sun Ce again. Before, Lu Su did not have any feelings when he called Milord. It was just a routine. He was Sun Ce's subordinate, and he was Sun Ce's subordinate. But now, Lu Su's heart throbbed when he saw Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was easily angered and impulsive. This was because of the genes of a general in his body. His father, Sun Jian, was such a person. When everyone was ready to withdraw, Sun Jian and his troops rushed towards Dong Zhuo.
Only Sun Jian made Dong Zhuo restless. Even Dong Zhuo's move to Chang 'an had something to do with Sun Jian. Dong Zhuo even wanted to marry his daughter to Sun Jian's son, Sun Quan, to ease the relationship. Unfortunately, Sun Jian did not accept this. If Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo joined forces, there would be few warlords in the world who could be their opponent.
When Sun Jian died, Liu Biao was so happy that he did not sleep for three days. Why? Because sooner or later, this tiger will eat Liu Biao, and not even his bones will be left.
Sun Ce inherited his father's bravery. In addition, he also inherited Xiang Yu's inheritance. So, Sun Ce always gave people the impression that he was brave but impulsive. If only because of this, Guo Jia would not have regarded Sun Ce as Cao Cao's first enemy. What really made Guo Jia afraid was that Sun Ce knew his mistakes and could change.
Sun Ce was not Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao was one of the Three Princes of the Fourth Generation, he could not tolerate his subordinates.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou were both first-class strategists. Because of their age, they could see further than Guo Jia and Xun Shi. Unfortunately, they were too upright. Every time Yuan Shao proposed a plan, they would stand up and correct it for him. Yuan Shao also knew that they were right, but Yuan Shao could not put down his face and admit that he was wrong. He cared about his reputation. On the other hand, these two did not understand the ways of the world, or rather, they disdained to understand these things. So, they had been arguing with Yuan Shao in front of others.
They embarrassed Yuan Shao once or twice, but after three or four times, Yuan Shao began to be jealous of them.
Tian Feng was from Jizhou Julu. He was knowledgeable and had many tricks up his sleeves. He was once an imperial censor in the imperial court. Because he was dissatisfied with the eunuchs monopolizing power, he gave up his position and returned home. Yuan Shao launched a crusade against Dong Zhuo. At the latter's invitation, Tian Feng became the emperor in an attempt to save the royal family.
After that, Yuan Shao used Tian Feng's strategy to eliminate Gongsun Zan and pacify Hebei. Tian Feng had advised Yuan Shao to get married as soon as possible, to welcome the Emperor and take the initiative in politics, but Yuan Shao could not comply.
In the fourth year of Jian 'an, when Cao Cao and Liu Bei were fighting for hegemony, Tian Feng also proposed a long-term strategy. Yuan Shao insisted on conquering the south. However, when Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei from the east, he used his son's illness as an excuse to reject Tian Feng's plan to attack Xu Du. He missed the opportunity. During the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng proposed a strategy of defending the city and dividing his forces to exhaust the enemy. Yuan Shao thought that he was tricking the crowd and sent him to prison. In the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao lost the Battle of Guandu and killed Tian Feng because he was too ashamed to see him.
Yuan Shao's strategist. Ju Shou was from Guangping during the Three Kingdoms period. He was ambitious since young and liked to strategize. First, he was the emperor in Ji Prefecture. He was a maocai and served as the county magistrate twice. When Han Fu took over Ji Prefecture, he was recommended by Han Fu to be a cavalry captain. When Yuan Shao took over Ji Prefecture, he joined Yuan Shao.
When the Battle of Guandu started, Ju Shou proposed the correct way to defeat Cao Jun. This was to fight a war of attrition. Yuan Shao's army had more provisions than Cao Cao's. As long as they could hold their ground, Cao Jun would fall into chaos. Yuan Shao could defeat Cao Cao effortlessly.
Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms period, Ju Shou's strategy was similar to how Sima Yi defeated Zhuge Liang. However, Yuan Shao was complacent at that time. How could he listen to Ju Shou's words? In the end, Ju Shou was mercilessly thrown into prison.
In the end, Yuan Shao was defeated and Ju Shou was captured by Cao Cao. Cao Cao admired Ju Shou's talent and treated him with respect. However, Ju Shou swore that he would never surrender.
Yuan Shao, who had control of the four provinces in Hebei, could only be defeated by Cao Cao. Guo Jia did not even consider Yuan Shao as an obstacle in Cao Cao's path to hegemony. In Guo Jia's eyes, Yuan Shao was just a skeleton in a grave.
Sun Ce was not Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan could not afford to lose. After he lost to Yuan Shao in Youzhou, he could not afford to lose. In the end, he trapped himself in Yijing and tried to use Yijing's high defense to resist Yuan Shao.
However, was there an unbreakable shield in this world? No! In the end, Gongsun Zan could only burn himself to death in Yijing.
Sun Ce was also not Liu Biao or Tao Qian. Kong Rong, Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang were all guarding dogs. They had rich lands and strong soldiers, but they did not have great ambitions. Tao Qian was too old and did not have the energy to fight for hegemony. Moreover, his two sons were "trash" (It's not that they were useless! It's that Tao Qian's sons were not made to be feudal lords. Just like Li Yu of Southern Tang, although he was not made to be an emperor, he was a great poet and great scholar!). Therefore, Tao Qian gave up on hegemony and only hoped that his Tao family would have a place to live.
Zhang Lu and Kong Rong were benevolent and righteous. However, they were only good spiritual teachers. They were not good feudal lords. They were only suitable for teaching and educating people. They were not suitable for hegemony. Kong Rong was the 20th generation descendant of Confucius. When he was young, Kong Rong's reputation was spread all over the world. Zhang Lu even founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, which urged people to improve themselves and be kind to others. In times of peace, they may have students all over the world and may be praised by thousands of people. However, this was a time of chaos. In a time of chaos, whoever had the biggest fist was the boss.
Liu Biao and Liu Zhang simply did not have the heart to fight for hegemony. On the surface, Jingzhou was ruled by Liu Biao. However, in reality, military power and finances were not controlled by Liu Biao alone. It was still in the hands of the Cai family, Lao family, and Huang family. Liu Zhang was also the same.
On the other hand, Sun Ce was still young. It can be said that he was the youngest warlord in the world. Even if he had to wait for a long time, he would still be able to outlive his elders. Sun Ce also had lofty ambitions. If he did not have lofty ambitions, how could he take down Jiangdong? How could he give Yuan Shu the Imperial Jade Seal that his father had sacrificed his life for in exchange for troops and horses?
Compared to Liu Bei and Liu Big-eared, Sun Ce may not have the heart of Liu Bei. However, Sun Ce needed to! When Liu Bei was still homeless, Sun Ce took down Jiangdong and occupied Dong Yue Wu. If it was during the Warring States period, Sun Ce would be the ruler of a country while Liu Bei was just a villager.
Sun Ce is fearful because he is young and ambitious. Moreover, he is brave and courageous. He has a lot of talented people under him. Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and the others are all dragons and phoenixes among men. They are also fierce generals in the army. They know their mistakes and correct them. This is the sign of a wise ruler.
Lü Bu, Sun Ce used the Lu Family to take in Yuan Shu's son and appointed him as a doctor. All of these were to win the hearts of the aristocratic families. His love for talent was even greater than Cao Mengde's. How could such an enemy not be terrifying?
While Lu Su was in a daze, Sun Ce had already rushed up the wall.
"Huang Zhong!" Sun Ce's battle intent soared. Sun Ce and Lü Bu were both warlike people. If these two lived in the same era, the title of the number one wargod would be unknown. Huang Zhong was also at the peak of Spirit Refinement. Originally, he wanted to suppress Sun Ce, but Sun Ce caught up. Although he didn't have many years of experience like Huang Zhong, he had a youthful vigor that Huang Zhong didn't have.
"Sun Ce!" Huang Zhong also felt Sun Ce. He felt it when Sun Ce climbed up the wall. Because Sun Ce's aura was too strong, Huang Zhong quickly knew that it was Sun Ce's aura.
Sun Ce released his aura to attract Huang Zhong's attention. He couldn't let Huang Zhong shoot anymore. Out of the four walls, two of them had already fallen. If he continued to shoot, the remaining two walls would fall.
Huang Zhong also knew what Sun Ce was thinking. He took a deep breath. If he shot the steel arrow in his hand, he would definitely be able to shoot down a wall. But what about after that? After that, he wouldn't be in the right state. If he fought with Sun Ce who was also at the peak of Spirit Refinement, it wouldn't end well.
"Donglai Taishi Ci is here. Who dares to fight?" Taishi Ci also climbed up the wall. Following him were the remaining three thousand Danyang soldiers.
Two? Huang Zhong frowned. He could defeat one Sun Ce. Sun Ce was no match for him. However, two of them would be troublesome. Huang Zhong had fought with Taishi Ci before. Although he wasn't at the peak of Spirit Refinement, he wasn't weak at all. He only needed an opportunity to break through. Even if the two of them surrounded Huang Zhong, they could only fight to a draw.
The remaining two walls would really become a nightmare for the Lvbu's Army.
"Donglai Taishi Ci?!" Xu Sheng killed a Danyang soldier with his long lance. Then, he saw Huang Zhong being surrounded by two generals. Donglai Taishi Ci! Xu Sheng had heard that this person was Sun Ce's subordinate. Not only was this person brave, but he was also good at commanding. Xu Sheng was very confident in his commanding skills. He was confident that his Black Flag Army wasn't weaker than any other army in the world. The reason they lost to Liu Mang's City Guard was because of Zhou Cheng.
When Xu Sheng heard Taishi Ci's voice, he really wanted to fight with Taishi Ci. Now that there was such an opportunity, how could he let it go?
"Old General Huang, don't panic. Xu Sheng from Huang Zhong is here!" Xu Sheng waved his long lance and directly killed a path to Huang Zhong's side.
"Panic?!" The corners of Huang Zhong's mouth revealed a trace of a bitter smile. This Xu Sheng, if you want to come, then come. Why do you have to speak so much nonsense? Although Huang Zhong couldn't win against the two of them, a draw wouldn't be a problem. Now that Xu Sheng had shouted, it was as if Huang Zhong was afraid of the two of them.
"Old General Huang, I'll leave Sun Ce to you. Leave this Taishi Ci to me!" Xu Sheng licked his lips. Xu Sheng wasn't a fool. He knew that Huang Zhong was very strong. He also saw that Sun Ce had the same aura as Huang Zhong. He couldn't afford to offend these two people, so he could only leave Taishi Ci.
"Okay!" Huang Zhong nodded. He didn't argue. He had to break Sun Ce, or even defeat Sun Ce directly. Only then would he be able to deal with Jing Lan.
"Xu Sheng from Langye?!" Sun Ce was slightly stunned. When did the Lvbu's Army have such a general? Sun Ce's eyesight wasn't bad. He could see that Xu Sheng was also a refinement martial artist. A refinement martial artist! When did the Lvbu's Army become so worthless?!
In addition to Zang Ba and Zhang Liao who were brought out by Lü Bu, there was also Xu Sheng. Sun Ce only had himself, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Han Dang and Huang Gai.
Han Dang and Huang Gai were already old and could only reach the refinement stage. They were stronger than second-rate generals, but not as strong as first-rate generals. For example, Wen Pin in the Jiangxia Army could suppress these two old generals. However, these two old generals could also kill other generals in the Jiangxia Army. Zhou Tai was already dead. No matter how strong a dead person was, it was useless. Jiang Qin lost an arm. Even if he recovered, he wouldn't be able to reach the peak. That left him and Taishi Ci. Now, the Lvbu's Army not only had two peak refinement martial artists, Lü Bu and Huang Zhong, but also two refinement martial artists, Zang Ba and Zhang Liao. Now, there was also Xu Sheng.
How could this Slave of Three Surnames have so many experts following him? At this moment, Sun Ce felt a little disappointed. Could it be that he couldn't compare to Lü Bu?!
"Impossible!" Sun Ce shook his head. His will was firm. He had a huge advantage over Lü Bu, and that was his age. He was already at the peak refinement stage, but when he reached Lü Bu's age, Taishi Ci would also be able to break through.
He still had Lu Meng, Ling Cao and a few other young generals. They were still young, but they had already reached the peak refinement stage. Breaking through to the refinement stage was just a matter of time. Moreover, Sun Ce remembered his brothers, Zhou Yu and Gong Jin. Sun Ce had never seen Zhou Yu in action, but he knew that Zhou Yu was very strong. At least, he was not much weaker than Sun Ce.
When he reached Lü Bu's age, Sun Ce would definitely be stronger than Lü Bu. He, Sun Ce, dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with the heroes of the world. He, Sun Ce, was not weaker than anyone.
"Milord, Milord!" Just when the four of them were about to go all out, a huge figure rushed out from the wall. The pair of hammers in his hands were the bane of heavy armored infantry. A single hammer strike would definitely take away a life. Along the way, he had killed three Black Flag soldiers. Their heavy armor couldn't withstand it at all. Their chests caved in with a single blow from the giant hammer. Even if their armor blocked it, the Black Flag soldiers spat out blood and fell to the ground.
Dong Xi! This was Dong Xi, who had become Sun Ce's personal guard after Chen Wu's death. Sun Ce had forgotten about him when he was charging into the city. Lu Su had ordered Dong Xi to follow Sun Ce and protect his safety. Although Dong Xi did not have much intelligence, he understood orders. Sun Ce smiled. He might not be a match for Huang Zhong in a one on one battle. He could only guarantee that he could hold off Huang Zhong, but he did not have full confidence. Now that Dong Xi had appeared, the balance was broken. As long as he could hold off Huang Zhong and let Dong Xi and Taishi Ci work together to kill Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng and the others would surround Huang Zhong. Even if they could not kill Huang Zhong, they could still heavily injure him. When the time came, the two walls would still be able to kill the Lvbu's Army.
Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng also felt the seriousness of the situation. Although Xu Sheng was arrogant, he also knew that it would be difficult for him to deal with Taishi Ci, let alone this behemoth. Although this Dong Xi was stupid, Xu Sheng did not want to take a hit from the hammer in his hand. That thing could kill people. At the very least, Xu Sheng did not want to take a hit from it.
Xu Sheng smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to help Huang Zhong share the pressure, but now he might lose his life. He, Xu Sheng, had just escaped from Wan Cheng's prison. Now he was going to die here!
"Xu Sheng, if you can't hold on, retreat. You must protect the little lord!" Huang Zhong clenched his teeth. If it was the last step, he could only use that move. But if that happened, Wan Cheng would really be lost.
"Old General Huang, what are you talking about! You should go and protect the little lord! " Xu Sheng was not scared. It was not easy for him to find his goal in life. It was not easy for him to find his master. He did not want to die like this. If you want to kill me, how can you not pay the price?
"Leave Dong Xi to me!" Just when Xu Sheng and Huang Zhong were determined to fight to the death, an indifferent voice sounded.
Golden armor appeared on this section of the city wall. The spear in his hand and the shield in his hand formed a strange weapon.
