My Three Kingdoms is not right

Liu Xun leaned against the battlements, looking at Lü Bu, who seemed unstoppable and like a god descended to earth, and felt his heart pounding wildly.

"Your Highness, are you going to betray me too?"

Lu Bu pierced through a soldier blocking his way with his halberd and stared intently at Liu Xun.

Liu Xun didn't speak, but snatched the greatsword from Hou Cheng's trembling hand.

The hilt of the sword felt icy cold to the touch, just as cold as his palm.

As Lu Bu watched his movements, the fire in his eyes suddenly dimmed for a moment.

"it is good."

She walked towards Liu Xun.

Wei Xu and Song Xian fought desperately to block their way, while Hou Cheng also shouted and charged forward, brandishing the spear handed to him by his personal guard.

Just then, a semi-transparent system notification appeared before Liu Xun's eyes:

[System notification: Player is detected commanding the battle, and their strategy value is greater than the enemy general's intelligence.]

[Would you like to spend 10 Strategy Points to draw a Secret Strategy?]

what?

Liu Xun's somewhat tragic mood was interrupted.

With only 40 points of strategy left, how could he possibly have more than Lu Bu?

What else is there to say? Of course we'll draw!

[10 Strategy Points Consumed. Remaining Strategy Points: 30.]

[Congratulations to the player who obtained the "Steal a Sheep" treasure pack!]

[Steal an item: Randomly obtain one item from the enemy's main general. Valid only in this battle.]

At this point, you have to try everything!

The next second, as Lü Bu swung his halberd at Wei Xu's head, the halberd slipped from his grasp and flew away.

The halberd shaft spun twice in the air before landing with a thud at Liu Xun's feet.

Everyone on the city wall was stunned.

Lu Bu looked down at his empty palms, somewhat bewildered.

It's not uncommon for weapons to slip from one's hands during combat, but she's Lü Bu!

Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu were also stunned.

Liu Xun looked at the halberd at his feet and felt fortunate.

Although he was running a fever and couldn't muster the strength to fight on foot with such a heavy long weapon, Lu Bu's strength would be greatly reduced without his halberd.

However, he was wrong.

Lu Bu was only stunned for a moment, then grabbed Hou Cheng's spear with his right hand, pressed down with his elbow, and pushed hard with his left palm, actually snatching it away.

Hou Cheng hurriedly retreated, only to see Lü Bu turn his spear tip and thrust it out like lightning, piercing straight through her abdomen and emerging from her back.

"Hou Cheng!" Wei Xu's eyes were bloodshot.

Hou Cheng's body stiffened.

His lips twitched a few times before he collapsed into a pool of blood.

Lu Bu pulled out his spear, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Who's next?"

Song Xian and Wei Xu's eyes turned red, and they pounced on him frantically.

But without Hou Cheng, the two were even less of a match. Lü Bu's spear was like a dragon, forcing them into perilous situations.

Liu Xun knew they couldn't stop Lü Bu, so he gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and joined the battle.

His current martial prowess of 87 points is already quite high, but he is still far from being a match for Lü Bu.

Even with Song Xian and Wei Xu added, they could only barely fight and retreat, facing constant danger.

Even with three against one, facing Lü Bu who had no halberd, they still had no chance of winning.

Lu Bu wielded his spear with sweeping, powerful strokes, the sound of the wind cutting through it resembling a dragon's roar.

None of the three dared to confront him directly. Liu Xun barely managed to parry a slash with his sword, only to feel his tiger's mouth go numb from the impact, and his entire arm began to tremble.

Just then, a burst of fighting sounds suddenly erupted behind Lü Bu.

Someone launched a surprise attack on Lü Bu's personal guards from the rear.

Liu Xun forced himself to turn his head and look. In the firelight, he saw familiar faces.

Yao Tian!

She led the fifty-odd soldiers who were "monitoring" Liu Xun and stormed into the city.

They didn't have to come.

Their mission was to "monitor." Tonight, sneaking away unnoticed was a relief for them.

But then they came.

In the face of life and death, these female soldiers resolutely rushed towards their former master and fought for Liu Xun!

Liu Xun's eyes welled up with tears.

All I did was offer some food, hot soup, and care...

But they decided to pay with their lives.

Although Yao Tian's troops were few in number, their advantage lay in their surprise attack, stabbing Lu Bu's personal guards in the back.

The guards were attacked from both sides, and their formation began to fall apart.

Meanwhile, Song Xian and his personal guards were freed up and joined the battle to besiege Lü Bu.

The pressure on Liu Xun's side suddenly eased.

But this is only temporary.

Cao Mengde! Hurry up!

-----------------

The night was as dark as ink. Three miles outside the south gate of Xiapi, the main force of Cao Cao's army was moving silently and swiftly in the darkness.

This was not a fair siege—there were no drums, no horns, no barrage of arrows. The horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, the soldiers were silent, and even the clashing of armor was deliberately suppressed. This was a sneak attack.

Cao Cao rode his horse in the middle of the army ranks, his phoenix eyes fixed on the outline of Xiapi City in the distance. The city, which was only a blurry silhouette in the dark night, had a faint firelight flickering in the direction of the south gate tower.

A scout rushed in to report, "Reporting to the lord: There is fighting on the city walls."

Cao Cao gripped the reins tightly, and she vaguely heard a sound coming from the wind.

It was the sound of shouts of killing.

"Speed ​​up." Cao Cao's handsome face tightened. "Order the entire army to increase their speed."

The marching speed of the column noticeably increased. The soldiers went from a brisk walk to a trot, the clashing of armor became more frequent, and the horses' hooves splashed up muddy water on the muddy tidal flats.

Meanwhile, the firelight atop the city walls grew brighter and brighter.

-----------------

Xu Huang had been leading the Imperial Guards at the very front of the main army, closest to Xiapi City. At this moment, she could see and hear the flames and shouts of battle most clearly from the city walls.

The South Gate Tower! According to the message on the arrow shot by Song Xian, His Highness is there.

"All troops, accelerate!" Xu Huang raised his great axe and shouted sharply to those behind him, "Charge with me!"

She squeezed the horse's flanks with both legs, and the warhorse neighed loudly, charging forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Zhao Yun and the Sun sisters behind him did not hesitate at all.

These past few days, with His Highness imprisoned in the city, each of them harbored a burning desire. Now, that desire was ignited by the firelight from the city walls, making their blood boil.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, echoing across the wilderness like a muffled thunderclap.

-----------------

In the center of the army, Cheng Yu frowned as he watched the troops ahead break away from the main force and accelerate their charge.

"This is far too reckless! The Imperial Guards have lost a general on the battlefield, and now they're only thinking about atoning for their mistakes, not even waiting for orders from the central army!"

Before she could finish speaking, another group of men charged out from the flank.

As she was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a messenger galloped up and stopped in the distance: "The Governor of Yu Province, Liu Bei, worried that Her Highness the Princess might be in danger, and led his personal guards ahead to her aid. He has specially ordered me to inform the Minister of Works!"

Cheng Yu was taken aback: "The situation within the city is still unclear, why is Liu Bei so reckless?"

They had already analyzed the current situation during the military meeting last night.

Liu Xun's handwritten letter was genuine, and the surrender of Hou Cheng and others was most likely true. However, this was not without its risks.

What if Liu Xun was forced to write the letter, and Hou Cheng and others' surrender was all a scheme by Chen Gong to lure the enemy?

Although there is a risk of the city falling, Chen Gong is cunning and resourceful, and Lü Bu is bold and reckless; they might make a desperate gamble.
