Chapter 348 The time of life and death
"Xuan De, Bo Fu, we cannot afford to lose this battle." Looking at Xiahou Yuan who was rushing forward, Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
Although Xiahou Yuan was also a first-rate general, he was still inferior to Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Xu Chu. Cao Cao did not think that he could help the other three win after he rushed forward.
As for the others, if they don't have a first-rate general or above, they can only cause trouble.
In the past, defeating Lu Bu alone brought a lot of experience to the princes of the world in besieging generals. Cao Cao knew very well that against a general of Zhao Yun's level, it was useless to just have a large number of people.
Among the four lords, the only capable ones left were Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Sun Ce under Liu Bei. Others such as Xiahou Dun were also good at fighting, but not on the battlefield.
Liu Bei and Sun Ce frowned, but nodded after thinking about it.
The overall situation is important.
At this time, they are no longer allowed to talk too much about martial ethics.
Not attacking people from behind is their bottom line, but they could never accept just watching Zhao Yun escape unscathed.
After saying this, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Sun Ce rode out on their horses.
Zhang Fei, who had always been known for his bad temper, was surprisingly silent at this moment, and did not utter a single curse word. It was obvious that he was upset about the siege and could not open his mouth.
Huang Zhong shouted at a distance: "Zhao Zilong, take it!"
This is not a provocation, but a reminder.
It was never their intention to use their numbers to bully the few, but they had no choice but to do so.
Sun Ce looked at Zhao Yun who was surrounded by the crowd with a complicated look, and his heart was extremely conflicted, but thinking of Zhou Yu's instructions before leaving, he gritted his teeth and killed him.
In an instant, seven generals surrounded Zhao Yun.
Swords, spears and long lances attacked from all directions. Zhao Yun suddenly felt the pressure doubled. The bright silver spear in his hand almost danced into a ball of silver light, which could not withstand any water and protected the vital parts of his body.
At this moment, enormous pressure came overwhelming, and Zhao Yun felt a strong breath of death.
You know, the seven warriors around are almost all among the top 20 martial artists in the world today, and each has his own strengths. Their attacks may be fast or slow, their strength may be light or heavy, and their moves may be normal or dangerous.
Especially there are people like Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, who are even stronger than Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong.
Although Huang Zhong was no longer in his prime at this time, he was still young and in great shape. His martial arts could be said to be among the top five in the world, and he was not inferior to Lu Bu even in a one-on-one fight.
Faced with these powerful enemies, even with Zhao Yun's martial arts, he couldn't help but feel a little stretched.
After more than ten moves, Zhao Yun had suffered several minor injuries.
However, Zhao Yun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the spear in his hand danced faster and faster, with more and more strange strength, like a tangled thread.
Zhao Yun pushed the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" spear technique he learned from Tong Yuan to its extreme. When it collided with countless weapons, huge sparks burst out instantly, and for a moment it really seemed as if a flying fire phoenix was formed and lingered around Zhao Yun.
When Huang Zhong saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly and his heart was filled with surprise.
There are such monsters in this world!
He thought that having a character like Lu Bu was the limit of this era, but he never expected that there would be another one.
At this moment, Zhao Yun's state seemed to be in an epiphany. No matter his speed, strength or moves, they were all improving at a seemingly slow but actually extremely terrifying speed, and he was about to break through some shackles.
We can't let him go on like this!
Huang Zhong immediately realized this.
He no longer dared to stop, and the sword in his hand swept across like a streak of silk.
The surging sword force was like the endless Yangtze River, piling up layer by layer and erupting in an instant.
The terrifying aura made Zhang Fei and Sun Ce beside him feel a chill in their hearts.
Han Sheng is actually serious. Who is this old general? He is too strong.
Huang Zhongzhi's outburst shocked all the generals present.
Zhao Yun, who was facing him head-on, gritted his teeth, quickly picked up the swords and spears around him, and pointed the spear in his hand at Huang Zhong's blade at a speed that broke the limit.
In an instant, two terrifying forces burst out, causing the two men and their mounts to retreat half a step.
The huge sonic boom caused the surrounding generals to tremble.
His hands were slightly numb and a hint of red appeared at the corners of his mouth, but Zhao Yun's aura became more heroic and he even smiled.
It is this feeling.
Zhao Yun reached the peak as soon as he came out of the mountains. Except for being taught a lesson by his master and senior brothers when he was young and learning martial arts, Zhao Yun had never lost, let alone felt the pressure of life and death.
At this moment, Zhao Yun finally realized it personally.
The spiritual energy that Tian Ze left in Zhao Yun's body seemed to be activated at this moment, and it flowed around his body along some mysterious path. A warm current suddenly surged in Zhao Yun's body.
Huang Zhong, whose skills astonished everyone, did not stop after his attack. After the huge force was transmitted to the back of the sword, Huang Zhong retracted the sword and spun it around, adding all his strength to the force and chopped it out again with incredible speed.
This is the Bilang sword technique that he learned on the banks of the Yangtze River. The power is superimposed, and each sword is stronger than the last.
The sword attack was even more fierce than before. Zhao Yun did not hesitate to meet it head-on again, concentrating his strength on one point and using the most basic spear technique of "stabbing", hitting the weakest point of Huang Zhong's sword.
Both sides took a step back again.
However, this time, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others did not just stand there and watch. They took advantage of Zhao Yun's exhaustion and attacked him closely without hesitation.
The old strength has been exhausted and the new strength has not yet been generated. This moment is undoubtedly the weakest time for Zhao Yun.
The continuous attacks caused Zhao Yun to suffer two minor injuries again.
At this time, Zhao Yun was no longer able to take care of these things, because Huang Zhong's third sword had already arrived.
Seeing that Zhao Yun's situation became increasingly unfavorable, Xun You became extremely anxious.
He didn't expect that there was a man like Huang Zhong hidden in the coalition forces, and Zhao Yun was really in danger of death.
"Military Advisor, shall we send out the troops?" The generals under Zhao Yun looked at Xun You closely and asked anxiously.
Xun You tightly grasped the reins in his hand, thinking of Tian Ze and Zhao Yun's previous instructions, and gritted his teeth and said, "Trust Zilong."
This choice was undoubtedly a big gamble. If something really happened to Zhao Yun, they would definitely lose the battle, and the speed of the defeat would be extremely fast.
Not only that, the situation in the Central Plains would be completely reversed, they would suffer heavy losses and lose everything. It is not impossible for the coalition forces to take advantage of the situation and attack the heartland of Jizhou.
However, Xun You still chose to believe in Zhao Yun, the most trustworthy and reassuring general.
Zilong, you must hold on!
Unlike Xun You, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were extremely excited at this time.
They saw hope of victory.
I never thought that Liu Bei had such a powerful general under his command. He was really well hidden!
Especially Cao Cao, his look towards Liu Bei was extremely complicated.
He is also quite proficient in martial arts. Although all the seven generals in the field are extraordinary, Huang Zhong is obviously in a class of his own, and Zhang Fei is also half a step further than the others.
It seems that the martial arts of Liu Bei's generals are even stronger than they imagined.
