I, Zhou Cang, am the number one tank in the Three Kingdoms.

"Yun Chang! What should we do?" Sun Qian turned pale with fright when he saw Xiahou Dun's Cao army rushing towards the remaining small boats at the ferry.

"Don't panic, sir. Cao Cao's army numbers no more than a hundred men, and the small boats at the ferry can't carry them all. What is there to fear?" Guan Yu reassured Sun Qian while keeping a close eye on Cao Cao's army's every move on the shore, his Green Dragon Crescent Blade held horizontally.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cang couldn't tell whether Guan Yu was merely comforting Sun Qian or genuinely didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

Although Cao Cao's army was small in number, they were still regular troops. The small boat had only rowed a short distance. At that distance, even if each person shot an arrow, the men and horses on the boat would be riddled with holes.

Moreover, with Mr. Sun Qian included, there are only nine people on our side right now, so the odds of winning are really...

Just then, Xiahou Dun led seven or eight personal guards, abandoning their horses and walking, each carrying a long spear, and boarded a small boat, which then caught up with them.

At this time, Guan Yu's boat contained only Guan Yu, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and their horses, while the other six riders were on two separate boats behind them.

"Release the arrows!"

Sure enough, Cao Cao's army on the shore fired arrows at once. In the blink of an eye, the three riders and the boatman on the last boat were all hit by arrows and fell into the water. The other two boats were not hit by arrows because the distance had increased.

Unexpectedly, the boatman on the middle boat, seeing this, became frightened, knowing that he might be next. Relying on his good swimming skills, he abandoned the three riders on the boat and jumped into the water with a "plop" to escape and survive.

Before the three riders on the boat could react, Xiahou Dun's small boat had already caught up quickly.

Two boats sailed side by side, engaging in close combat. Three riders, lightly armed and having traveled a long distance, were no match for the long spears in terms of range of attack. Cao Cao's army stabbed wildly, killing three more riders.

Seeing that the other two boats had been completely annihilated and Xiahou Dun was getting closer and closer, Guan Yu feared that the boatman would panic and jump into the water, so he turned back and reassured him, "Boatman, don't panic, we will protect you!"

The boatman nodded and asked, "General, are you Guan Yu?"

Guan Yu asked in confusion, "Indeed, how did the boatman know?"

As the boatman rowed quickly with his oar, he explained, "The general's fame is widely discussed among passengers, and I have noticed that he bears a striking resemblance to the general."

"It is my good fortune to see you today. General, do not worry, I am not a coward who fears death." As he spoke, the boatman increased the speed of his rowing.

"Thank you, boatman," Guan Yu said, bowing to the boatman and giving Sun Qian a reassuring look.

Zhou Cang stared intently at Xiahou Dun, for Cao's boats had no horses and a shallower draft. By the time the small boat reached the middle of the river, Cao's army was less than twenty paces away.

"My lord, be careful!" Almost simultaneously with Zhou Cang's warning, Xiahou Dun gave the order to "fire the arrows."

At such a short distance, the arrows flew at an extremely fast speed. Guan Yu and Zhou Cang stood at the stern of the boat, wielding their weapons with all their might, and barely managed to block the first volley.

As the two ships drew closer, the second volley of arrows would undoubtedly be faster and more accurate. Zhou Cang knew he would likely struggle to withstand this volley; he himself was not afraid of such arrow wounds, but Guan Gongsun Qian and the others…

Taking advantage of the brief moment when Cao Cao's army was retrieving and nocking arrows, Zhou Cang swiftly pulled the unsuspecting Guan Yu behind him, placing himself at the very front of the stern of the boat. Before he could even fully stand still—

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The arrows have arrived!

Zhou Cang swung his long-handled broadsword, blocking four or five arrows, but there was simply not enough time to stop the arrows that followed.

"Thud!" "Thud!" Zhou Cang was hit by two arrows in his thigh and arm!

[Damage taken, Stamina -30, Attributes increased]

[Damage taken, Stamina -25, Attributes increased]

The distance was too close, and the arrows were too lethal. Although the injury he sustained yesterday when he crashed into the earthen wall to save Guan Yu had brought his stamina limit to almost 300, his old wounds had not yet healed and he was exhausted from marching, so his stamina had not recovered at all.

After two arrows, Zhou Cang only had a little over 200 stamina left.

"Thud!" Another arrow struck Zhou Cang squarely in the shoulder, penetrating his armor and entering his body by more than an inch!

This arrow was shot by Xiahou Dun himself, and its force far exceeded that of the previous two arrows!

[Damage taken, Stamina -45, Attributes increased]

After the third arrow, Zhou Cang's blood was surging, his eyes were bloodshot, and his primordial power was about to burst forth.

"Yuanfu!" Guan Yu and Sun Qian shouted almost simultaneously, but Zhou Cang turned around and shook his head to indicate that he was alright.

After two volleys of fire, Cao Cao's army was only ten paces away from the small boat, and the third volley was about to come. However, Cao Cao's army began to panic!

Despite being hit by three arrows, the iron tower opposite did not fall into the water. Instead, it quickly pulled out the arrows, brandished its broadsword, and assumed a fighting stance, seemingly unharmed, ready to receive the next round of attacks.

At this moment, one of Xiahou Dun's personal guards seemed to recognize the scene and quickly identified Zhou Cang, shouting, "The black-faced bandit from Runan! This is the black-faced bandit from Runan!"

After all, Zhou Cang's appearance was very similar to his desperate defense of the city gate back then. He was wounded by swords and arrows, but not by swords and arrows. His desperate fighting appearance frightened Xiahou Dun's personal guards so much that they forgot to continue shooting arrows.

"My lord! I urge you to capture the kingpin!" Zhou Cang shouted, calculating the distance between the two ships in his mind.

"Yuanfu—" Guan Yu wanted to stop him, but remembering the shock he had felt from Zhou Cang's "injury resistance" over the past two days, and also thinking of Sun Qian and the boatman behind him who needed his protection, he hesitated for a moment, then prepared to agree—

Before he could even speak, Zhou Cang had already discarded his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword), leaped from the stern of the boat, and jumped straight towards Xiahou Dun's small boat!

Xiahou Dun's personal guards were taken aback by Zhou Cang's sudden action—

With a "thud!", the black iron tower crouched down at the bow of the boat, causing the small boat to lurch violently and almost capsize.

The two guards on the side of the boat were caught off guard by the swaying of the boat and were thrown directly into the river.

Before the others could regain their balance, Zhou Cang sprang up and crashed into Xiahou Dun through the gap in the ground.

Xiahou Dun only had one eye left, and he had just recovered from the memory of the "Black-faced Bandit of Runan," so he never expected Zhou Cang to do something so audacious and outrageous.

In the chaos, just as she regained her balance, before the one-eyed creature could even see Zhou Cang's location, Zhou Cang grabbed her around the waist and shoved her directly into the water!

Even Guan Yu thought this behavior was too reckless. When he saw Zhou Cang carrying Xiahou Dun into the water, he thought of his third brother Zhang Fei, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"This man's recklessness is no less than that of Zhang Fei..." Guan Yu muttered to himself. He turned his head and found that Sun Qian was not saying a word. Following Sun Qian's gaze, he saw that the three or four small boats of Cao Cao's army that were following closely behind were in chaos.

Because Zhou Cang's jump directly took away the commander, Cao's army put down their bows and arrows, and anxiously held up torches, lying on the edge of the boat to search for the two figures in the water.

Zhou Cang himself knew that doing so was too reckless, but he had the confidence to be reckless!

It should be noted that the original owner of the body in the book was an excellent swimmer, who captured Pang De in a water battle, and had also fully mastered the underwater skills of this body in the previous battle in Runan.

In addition, he knew in his heart that a few more arrows might be his last, so he couldn't wait for Guan Yu's command and jumped over to fight for his life.

"Splash!" A sound suddenly came from Guan Gong's feet. He looked down and saw a hand reaching out of the water and gripping the edge of the boat tightly.

Just as it was unclear whether it was Zhou Cang or Xiahou Dun, "Splash!" Zhou Cang's head popped out of the water.

Guan Yu was about to bend down to pull him up when Xiahou Dun's head, who was next to Zhou Cang, also surfaced. Before he could catch his breath, Zhou Cang pushed him back underwater. This happened three or four times...

Finally, Xiahou Dun was tormented by Zhou Cang until he went into shock, his eyes closed and unable to struggle.

Guan Yu quickly squatted down to try and pull Zhou Cang onto the boat, but Zhou Cang didn't reach out. Instead, he braced himself against the boat, exposing most of his body first, and then forcefully flipped Xiahou Dun, who was tucked under his arm, onto the boat before reaching out to be pulled onto the small boat by Guan Yu.

Zhou Cang was almost exhausted at this point. Ignoring his soaked clothes, he sat on the edge of the boat, panting heavily, still clutching Xiahou Dun's sword in his hand.

Before long, the small boat was about to dock. The other small boats of Cao Cao's army following behind remained silent, watching Xiahou Dun lie at Guan Yu's feet like a corpse. They wanted to shoot arrows but were afraid of accidentally injuring him. They wanted to rush over and rescue him, but were intimidated by Guan Yu's cold gaze as he held his Green Dragon Crescent Blade horizontally. No one dared to make a move and could only follow quietly...

"Snapped!"

After Guan Yu, Zhou Cang, and Sun Qian got ashore, Zhou Cang turned Xiahou Dun over and slapped him hard on the back!

"Pfft—!" Xiahou Dun coughed and spat out water as he regained consciousness. He tried to get up by supporting himself with his hands on the ground, but when he raised his head, he saw Guan Yu's gleaming Green Dragon Crescent Blade pointing directly at his face.

Xiahou Dun had lost his helmet and weapon, and his body was covered in bruises, with some even having a swollen nose and nose, all from being beaten by Zhou Cang underwater.

Looking at his disheveled appearance, Xiahou Dun turned his head to the side and uttered a sentence.

"The defeated general, kill him or torture him, do it quickly!"
