Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 202
On the road to the east of Nanyang, Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun led a group of light cavalry, and chased forward at a rapid march.

The avenue was extremely quiet, and from time to time, a few birds flew out of the dense forest on both sides of the road.

Xiahou Dun didn't care, and kept urging the horse to be impatient, but Cao Cao felt a little uneasy.

"Yuan Rang, be careful, then Yuan Shu may really arrange an ambush to treat me." Cao Cao said to Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun didn't dare not listen to Cao Cao's words. Although he didn't stop, the marching speed slowed down significantly.

In fact, neither of them knew that Ji Ling's men were ambushing in the dense forest not far from them.

However, Ji Ling did not act, but let Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun go, because he remembered the agreement with Zhang Xun.

After Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao's army walked for a while, they found no ambush. Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel relieved, and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, it seems that you are worrying too much. You should march faster and pursue Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao also murmured in his heart. Could it be that he was really worrying too much? He looked up at Xiahou Dun's eager expression, nodded, and said, "Okay, hurry up and pursue."

When Xiahou Dun got the order, he urged the soldiers to march quickly and chase eastward.

However, just as the army picked up its speed, before they had gone far, they heard the sound of a cannon behind the nearby mound, and an army horse galloped out.

Cao Cao was taken aback. Sure enough, Yuan Shu had an ambush here, but he didn't panic, and quickly ordered Xiahou Dun to meet the enemy.

"Who are you? Dare to ambush our army here?" Xiahou Dun asked with a gun.

Zhang Xun brandished his broadsword and said loudly: "I am Zhang Xun, the general under Yuan Shao's tent. I have been waiting here for a long time, just to kill Cao Cao!"

Xiahou Dun was furious, and rushed to Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun did not hesitate at all, and faced Xiahou Dun, and the two fought together.

However, after more than a dozen rounds, Zhang Xun gradually lost to the enemy and retreated steadily, and he was about to be defeated by Xiahou Dun's spear.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden chaos behind Cao Cao's army and horses. Xiahou Dun was distracted to check, and Zhang Xun took the opportunity to step aside.

It turned out that it was Ji Ling who saw that Zhang Xun had intercepted Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, so he led the soldiers and horses who were ambushing in the dense forest and killed them.

This Ji Lingshi had a three-pointed knife, weighing about fifty catties, and was extremely brave. Seeing Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xun fighting together, he went straight to Cao Cao to kill him!
"Cao Cao, how dare you invade my lord's realm!" Ji Ling shouted.

Holding the sword in his hand, Cao Cao replied solemnly, "I have issued an edict from the Son of Heaven to dissuade my ministers. You are obsessed with your obsession, but you come to reject me. This crime cannot be punished!"

Ji Ling was furious, slapping horses and wielding swords, and went straight to Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao had some martial arts skills, how could he resist Ji Ling's three-pointed sword!

However, Xiahou Dun had already repelled Zhang Xun, and when he saw Ji Ling attacking Cao Cao, he shouted, "Don't be brave!"

Xiahou Dun charged forward with a diagonal stab, blocked Ji Ling, and fought with him for twenty or thirty rounds in a row, regardless of the outcome.

But Zhang Xun, who had regained his strength, chased Cao Cao and killed him. Cao Cao didn't dare to fight with the other general, so he jumped on his horse's head to avoid it.

Xiahoudun looked anxious, but Ji Ling was no better than Zhang Xun, a three-pointed knife made a fierce tiger, and Xiahoudun couldn't get out of his body in a short time to deal with Zhang Xun.

However, at this moment, Xun Zheng, Ji Ling's deputy, rushed over and said, "General Ji is not well, Cao Cao's reinforcements have arrived!"

Ji Ling was startled, and quickly jumped out of the battle circle, thought for a while, and said, "Quickly inform General Zhang to withdraw!"

Seeing that Ji Ling was about to flee, Xiahou Dun raised his gun and fought again, shouting, "Ji Ling, where are you going to run!"

Xun Zheng saw it, and quickly stood in front of Ji Ling, saying, "General Ji, you retreat first, and I will block Xiahou Dun!"

Ji Ling nodded, without hesitation, while killing the enemy, he went to look for Zhang Xun.

Xiahou Dun glanced at Xun Zheng, and said disdainfully, "Who are you? If you don't want to die, then get out of here. I'm only going to fight Ji Ling!"

Xun Zheng also snorted, and said proudly: "General Ji is a general, you are an unknown junior, how can you be worthy of being General Ji's opponent?"

Xiahou Dun was furious, and stabbed him with his spear, and Xun Zheng also raised his saber to resist. However, it only took one round for Xiahou Dun to stab Xun Zheng to death.

Looking at Xun Zheng's body, Xiahou Dun said disdainfully, "Hmph, mantis is like a cart, you can't do what you can!"

At this time, Ji Ling saw Zhang Xun in surprise, and Zhang Xun was chasing Cao Cao, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

Ji Ling shouted: "General Zhang, retreat quickly, Cao Cao's reinforcements are coming!"

Zhang Xun looked at Cao Cao who was close in front of him, feeling unwilling, and responded: "General Ji, retreat first, I swear to kill Cao Cao!"

Ji Ling had no choice but to pack up his troops and retreat eastward.

Seeing that Cao Cao was in danger, Xiahou Dun didn't bother to take care of Ji Ling, so he pulled his horse and chased Zhang Xun and Cao Cao.

Zhang Xun saw that the distance between himself and Cao Cao was getting closer, and his eyes were full of Cao Cao's figure.

However, just as he raised his knife to look at the cut, a loud shout came: "Bold, don't hurt my lord!"

Immediately, a big knife was slashing towards Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun didn't dare to neglect, he quickly raised the knife to block it, but in just a short while, Cao Cao had already escaped.

When Cao Cao saw the person coming, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted, "Miao Cai, thank you for your help!"

The person who resisted Zhang Xun was none other than Xia Houyuan. He saw him with a long knife, and after blocking Zhang Xun, he responded, "My lord, don't worry!"

After a few rounds, Zhang Xun found himself in an extremely unfavorable situation, and now he couldn't care less about killing Cao Cao, so it was important to run for his life!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xun took a look at the gap, turned his horse and turned back. However, before running a few steps, he saw Xiahou Dun head-on.

Zhang Xun was shocked, and quickly changed direction again and continued to flee.

However, Zhang Xun obviously went too deep. Cao Cao's soldiers were all along the way. Zhang Xun fought a bloody road. He thought he could escape, but he didn't want to meet another general.

That was Cao Ren who rushed over later!

Zhang Xun gritted his teeth and could only go up to him with a knife. Cao Ren didn't say a word, he shot and killed!

In normal times, Zhang Xun might still be able to fight Cao Ren; but now, after repeated fights, he no longer has the courage of the peak.

Moreover, at this moment, the Xiahou brothers had already caught up, and the outcome of the three of them fighting Zhang Xun seemed to be doomed.

Zhang Xun didn't survive five moves, but was slashed on the back by Xia Houyuan, and shot off his horse by Xiahou Dun.

Cao Cao couldn't help sighing after packing up his soldiers and horses. Although he killed Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun this time, Cao Cao also lost a lot of soldiers and horses due to the ambushes, which can be regarded as mutual injuries.

After a lot of fighting, the soldiers were exhausted, even if they went to pursue Yuan Shu, they probably would not be able to catch up.

"All the generals listen to the order, pack up the soldiers and horses, and return to Nanyang!"
