Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 542 Miao Moqing takes action, the zombies attack the city!

"What? Are you surprised? Don't worry, the surprise is yet to come."

Cao Ren sneered and then waved his hand.

Another 50,000 troops slowly walked out behind Cao Ren.

Seeing the 100,000-strong coalition army in front of him, Xu Rong's face changed.

In comparison, Zhang Liao was a little excited.

With the blessing of the desperate battle, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun that he brought with him could exert their maximum combat power.

"Wenyuan, let's ask the lord for help and see if he can send us some more troops."

Zhang Liao smiled at Xu Rong's words.

"No need. Two thousand versus one hundred thousand. We have the advantage. Watch me charge forward."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he rushed out with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

Xu Rong knew that Zhang Liao was often able to win battles with a smaller force, but this time it was two thousand against one hundred thousand. These were Cao Cao's elite cavalry, not the Yangzhou army. In comparison, the people under Sun Jian's command were much weaker than Cao Cao's.

Seeing that Zhang Liao had already rushed out, it was too late for Xu Rong to stop him. He could only prepare all the men at his disposal to rescue Zhang Liao.

But Xu Rong still underestimated Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao brought the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, and with the blessing of the desperate battle, their attack power directly increased to 2000%. The -strong army could not stop Zhang Liao and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun at all.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to charge towards him with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, Gan Ning grinned and roared, then rushed forward with the ancient ingot knife in hand.

The Yellow Dragon Hook Scythe and the Ancient Ingot Knife collided with each other, sparks flew everywhere, and the huge impact force caused tinnitus in the surrounding soldiers.

However, the two seemed to feel nothing and continued to fight.

Cao Ren saw that Gan Ning was unable to capture Zhang Liao in a short period of time and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were still slaughtering his own 100,000 men. After hesitating for a moment, he directly joined the siege of Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was the commander-in-chief of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. As long as Zhang Liao died, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun would have no combat effectiveness. As for Xu Rong in the city, he was directly ignored by Cao Ren.

Zhang Liao felt a little overwhelmed facing two famous generals alone.

Xu Rong on the city wall wanted to rush out to help, but Cao's soldiers had already started to attack the city, so he could only stay behind to command.

After a stick of incense had passed, Zhang Liao began to feel tired and some loopholes appeared in his defense.

There was a cut on the arm.

Gan Ning used all his strength to hack at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao held the Yellow Dragon Hook Scythe across his body to block.

The tremendous force made Zhang Liao's arms slightly numb.

At this moment, Cao Ren took the opportunity to chop Zhang Liao in the abdomen.

If this attack succeeded, Zhang Liao would be seriously injured and his life would most likely be in danger.

Just when Cao Ren was about to succeed, a sound of breaking wind was heard behind him.

Cao Ren's intuition as a famous general made him feel the threat to his life, so he immediately turned the knife in his hand and blocked it behind him.

"Ding"

An arrow hit the knife with such a powerful force that Cao Ren couldn't help but lean forward.

Turning around, he saw Huang Zhong standing not far away, holding the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow in his hand, aiming at him.

Another arrow was shot.

Seeing this, Cao Ren swung his sword and cut off the arrow.

"Wenyuan, I wish you a helping hand."

Huang Zhong shouted, took out the Red Blood Knife, and rushed towards Gan Ning.

After seeing Huang Zhong coming, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and fought Cao Ren with all his strength.

Gan Ning was so angry that he was about to die. He knew that the knife in Huang Zhong's hand could restrain him, but he couldn't avoid it. He was always attacked by Huang Zhong.

Seeing Huang Zhong coming, Xu Rong on the city wall also breathed a sigh of relief, because not only did Huang Zhong come, but Huang Zhong also brought two hundred White Feather Light Cavalry.

With the Baiyu Light Cavalry joining the battlefield, the pressure on Xu Rong's side was reduced a lot again.

Zhang Liao vented all the frustration he had just felt at being suppressed by the two men on Cao Ren.

As Zhang Liao's attacks became faster and stronger, Cao Ren gradually found it unable to resist.

As for Gan Ning, because of the Red Blood Sword's ability to suppress himself, the eighteen black shadows were reduced to only twelve.

Huang Zhong's attack did not weaken over time, but became stronger and stronger. The existence of the black shadow greatly reduced the damage done by the Red Blood Sword to Huang Zhong.

Gan Ning tried his best to force Huang Zhong to retreat a few steps, then shouted to Cao Ren beside him: "Retreat."

Cao Ren nodded, then turned and left with Gan Ning.

Seeing the two men going away, Zhang Liao immediately led the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun to chase them, but was stopped by Huang Zhong.

"Don't worry, our mission is to defend Dangyang and ensure our food supply."

Zhang Liao nodded upon hearing this.

Took everyone back to the city.

After counting, there were nearly a thousand people among the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. From this, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of Cao's army is indeed stronger than that of Yangzhou's army.

The number of troops under Xu Rong's command was reduced by half.

"General Huang, why are you here? The lord has sent out so many famous generals. Can he still hold out on the front battlefield?"

Xu Rong looked at Huang Zhong with some worry. No matter what, they were in the rear area. The real decisive battle would depend on the situation on the front battlefield.

"Don't worry, with the Prime Minister here, we don't need to worry about the front battlefield."

Cao Ren and Gan Ning set up their camp ten miles away from Dangyang.

The two men counted the people on their side and found that they had lost nearly 40,000 people in just one siege.

If this continues, all the people under his command will die, and he may not be able to capture Dangyang.

"We still need reinforcements."

Gan Ning looked at Cao Ren with a gloomy expression.

Cao Ren and Cao Zhang were originally used by Cao Cao as ambushes in order to catch Liu Bei off guard. But now, Cao Ren is of little use, and Huang Zhong alone has directly broken Liu Bei's predicament.
This was obviously Cao Cao's mistake.

Cao Ren sighed helplessly, he also understood that reinforcements were needed now, otherwise the two sides would only be in a stalemate. However, the four-party coalition forces did not have many famous generals. In the current battlefield, if there were no famous generals, they would be basically useless. Once Cao Cao sent more famous generals to their side, the front battlefield would be very empty. Once Liu Bei took the initiative to attack the coalition forces, the four-party coalition forces would be completely defeated.

The front line has been defeated, so what is the point of them being here?
Just when the two were in trouble, a laugh came from outside the tent.

"Haha, it looks like you two need some support."

"who?"

When the two heard this, they immediately became alert.

After all, this is the central army camp, and no one in the entire camp dares to speak to them like that.

"It's me." After the voice fell, a person walked in from outside.

"Zhou Yu?"

"Grand Governor?"

The two voices sounded at the same time.

The person who came was Zhou Yu.

At this time, Zhou Yu was looking at them with a smile on his face, which looked much more relaxed compared to the two men's sad faces.

"Grand Commander, you can still laugh. We are already in this situation. Our mission is to solve Liu Bei's food supply problem, but now the surprise attack has quickly turned into a tug-of-war. If we continue like this, I am afraid we will lose the frontal battlefield."

Listening to Gan Ning's words, Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously and opened the tent directly.

"My lord knows that you may have problems, so he asked me to bring reinforcements. Moreover, these reinforcements will definitely help you win, at least to take Dangyang."

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Miao Moqing walked in from outside.

Gan Ning became excited when he saw that the person coming to support him was the leader of the Gu tribe.

Gan Ning had no idea what methods the leader of the Gu tribe had. In the Battle of Jiangxia, the direction they attacked was not the direction of the Gu tribe. Only later did he hear from Zhou Yu what Jiangxia County looked like after the war.

But Gan Ning remembered that the mysterious pill that Miao Moqing gave him was very powerful. If it weren't for that pill, there was no way he could have defeated Huang Zhong.

"Miao tribe leader, you are here too. Did you bring the pill with you this time?"

Cao Ren on the side looked at Miao Moqing with some curiosity.

In terms of appearance, Miao Moqing is definitely a beauty, and can be said to be the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He has also heard from Cao Zhang how powerful this mysterious Gu tribe leader is, and the pill at the beginning also gave Cao Zhang a lot of help.

Miao Moqing shook her head at Gan Ning.

"General, the lord said that we don't need that thing this time. Your mission this time is to cut off Liu Bei's food supply, not to take over Liu Bei's territory."

Neither Gan Ning nor Cao Ren understood what Miao Moqing meant, but Zhou Yu seemed to have thought of something. The smile on his face disappeared instantly and his expression turned gloomy.

Originally Zhou Yu thought that Sun Jian asked Miao Moqing to come in order to improve the fighting power of Cao Ren and Gan Ning, but he did not expect that Sun Jian wanted to kill them all.

"Chief, this is a county town. It seems unnecessary to do that, right? In addition to Liu Bei's men, there are many civilians in this county town. No matter what, they are all innocent. After we win, we will even turn these civilians into our own soldiers. In a sense, these civilians can also be considered our own people, right?"

"General Zhou, I am just following the orders of the lord. If you feel that this is not possible, you can tell the lord in person. As long as the lord tells me to stop the action, I will naturally not interfere."

"This……"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment. He knew in his heart that Sun Jian would not care about the lives of these people.

No matter what, Zhou Yu couldn't bear to see such an act that was almost like a massacre of the city. In his definition, war should not be like this.

Seeing that Zhou Yu stopped talking, Miao Moqing bowed to Zhou Yu and turned to walk out of the camp.

Gan Ning saw that this time not only the leader of the Gu tribe came, but he was also accompanied by four hundred Gu tribe members.

Huang Zhong and his two companions were directing their soldiers to clean up the bodies left outside the city.

After the two soldiers put the dead soldier into the pit that had been dug long ago, they clasped their fists towards all the corpses in the pit, turned around and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, a "creaking" sound suddenly appeared.

A soldier stopped, turned around and looked at the pit, only to find that nothing had happened.

"what happened?"

Another soldier looked at his companion curiously.

"I seemed to hear some movement in the pit."

"Movement? Impossible. They were all our comrades who died in the battle. How could there be any movement? When we moved them here, we personally tested whether they were really dead. Only those who were really dead could be moved here. Could it be that these corpses could stand up and walk to you..."

When the soldier said this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and pointed behind the other soldier with a look of horror.

"You...behind, behind!"

"what?"

The soldier obviously didn't understand what his companion meant and thought that the man was trying to scare him, so he waved his hands.

"What? You mean there's a dead body standing behind me?"

The soldier laughed and then reached behind him.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he felt as if he touched something sticky. People who have been on the battlefield for many years certainly know what this feeling is.

This is the feel of blood!
The soldier turned around and saw that the person they had just put into the pit was actually standing behind them, swinging the long knife in his hand towards him.

The soldier was chopped to the ground before he could even make a sound.

Seeing this, another soldier was so scared that he turned and ran away.

He was shouting as he ran: "He's dead! He's dead!"

When Huang Zhong and his two companions heard the sound, they immediately went to the city gate and ran into the soldiers who were running back.

"What are you doing? What are you yelling about? What do you mean by resurrection?"

"It's a corpse, it's really a corpse! Generals, it's a corpse!"

"Bullshit, you are the one who pretended to be dead! Speak properly!"

Xu Rong was so angry at the soldier's words that he laughed and slapped the soldier on the head.

But soon, Xu Rong could no longer laugh.

Because the three of them saw that the corpses on the ground outside the city, which had not been sorted out in time, now stood up and limped towards the city gate.

"This……"

Xu Rong had not witnessed the last battle in Jiangxia County, so naturally he had never seen the situation of the dead being resurrected. Even though he was a general who had seen many storms, he was still stunned by this moment.

Huang Zhong had experienced this kind of thing personally, so he naturally knew its weaknesses and horrors.

"That's it again!"

Huang Zhong frowned and muttered softly. Huang Zu's appearance at that time seemed to appear before his eyes again.

"How is this going?"

Zhang Liao also looked confused.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly, we can't hold here anymore."

Huang Zhong had no choice but to give the order.

Although the two did not understand why Huang Zhong gave such an order, they still chose to believe Huang Zhong.

Although it was indeed not a good idea to leave without fighting, Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang both said the same thing when they were leaving: defend if you can, and retreat if you can't.

After everyone had safely evacuated Dangyang, they saw that the entire Dangyang city was shrouded in a green mist. They didn't know what it was, but they knew in their hearts that it was not a good thing.

"What exactly is this?"
