Breaking Through the Encirclement, Evenly Matched

Before long, the team broke through the encirclement and charged into the valley.

"General, we're just ahead of Daliang City, the capital of State of Wei. What should we do next?" a soldier asked Zhongli.

"Don't rush, let the brothers rest first and get their energy back. We'll set off when it gets dark!"

"Promise!"

"General, Zhongli's men have arrived and are resting in the valley. They say they want to discuss a deal with us!" a soldier ran up to report.

"A deal? What kind of deal could they possibly have?" Zhongli frowned even more. Although Zhongli had quite a few men, they were all low-level thugs with extremely low intelligence. They were not trustworthy at all, and this deal was probably not going to be a good one.

"They said they'd trade their heads for ours, and they demanded we transfer the guards from Daliang City here, or they'd start the massacre!"

"How foolish!" Zhongli couldn't help but curse. "Tell them that if they refuse to cooperate, then we'll have to force our way in. I refuse to believe that with our elite troops, we can't take down a small city!"

"Yes!" the soldier replied, turned and walked out of the tent, arriving outside the valley.

"Zhongli, our general told me to tell you that they are willing to cooperate with you and have mobilized all the defensive forces in Daliang City to this area. You can launch the attack now; we'll be waiting for you on the hillside ahead!"

"Hmph, I thought he'd refuse! Looks like I underestimated his ambition! But that's fine, saves me the trouble!"

Thinking of this, Zhongli shouted, "Brothers, attack!"

After saying this, Zhongli took the lead and rushed forward, with a group of soldiers following closely behind him, running wildly ahead.

Soon, the two sides clashed and engaged in a brief battle. However, Zhongli was not at a disadvantage and quickly wiped out all the enemies. He advanced with unstoppable momentum and soon reached the outskirts of the State of Wei capital.

"General, let's charge!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill them!"

Zhongli led his soldiers in a frenzied charge towards the capital of State of Wei. Wherever they went, nothing grew, blood flowed everywhere, and corpses lay scattered across the valleys.

Seeing the bloody scene before him, Zhao Yun frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Zhongli to be so powerful. With only two thousand soldiers under his command, he had utterly routed his army of over ten thousand. This was terrifying!

Just as Zhao Yun was stunned, Zhongli's army suddenly rushed over and charged towards Zhao Yun's camp.

"Oh no, they've launched a sneak attack! Brothers, kill them! Kill them!" Zhao Yun exclaimed in alarm, immediately ordering his men to engage the enemy.

However, the martial arts skills of Zhao Yun's soldiers were too weak. Even though they had a numerical advantage, they were still repeatedly defeated by the exceptionally fierce Zhongli army.

Zhongli and his soldiers quickly rushed to the front of the army, wielding spears, broadswords, longswords, and halberds, and slashed at the army.

"Kill!"

Zhongli's soldiers rushed forward and fought with Zhongli's men. Screams of agony filled the air.

"Damn it, kill them all! Kill them!"

Zhao Yun was furious and brandished his sword, bravely fighting back. However, his forces were no Zhongli Zhongli's, and he was quickly routed by Zhongli's soldiers, who fled in disarray.

Soon after, Zhongli's soldiers stormed into the State of Wei's palace, where they began to slaughter the State of Wei royal family, nobles, and common people, looting extensively. They quickly exhausted the State of Wei's fortune, leaving only empty corpses and heads rolling on the ground.

Seeing their homeland destroyed, the State of Wei family and the people were devastated and wept bitterly.

Zhao Yun watched helplessly as his homeland was destroyed, unable to do anything but watch as they were slaughtered. His face grew increasingly ferocious, his heart filled with intense anger and murderous intent.

"Kill! I will kill them all, kill them all!" Zhao Yun roared angrily, his eyes turning bloodshot, and his whole body exuding a terrifying Sha Qi.

Seeing Zhao Yun's performance, Zhongli was secretly delighted. He wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yun's anger to completely enrage Zhao Yun and make Zhao Yun deal with him at all costs. Then his opportunity would come.

"General, the enemy is charging in!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Zhao Yun turned around and his expression changed drastically. He never expected Zhongli to be so reckless. The number of men he brought was twice that of Zhongli's troops, and his forces were still increasing and pouring in. Soon, his army reached 50,000, half the number of his 20,000 troops. Zhao Yun's forces were instantly at a disadvantage.

"General, what do we do now? What should we do?" Zhao Yun's deputy asked anxiously.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. We must fight back desperately and absolutely cannot let them break in. We must defend Daliang City. As long as we can defend Daliang City, we will win! I don't believe they dare to launch a full-scale attack on Daliang City!" Zhao Yun said through gritted teeth.

"Yes!" the lieutenant replied, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Kill! Follow me and keep killing!" Zhao Yun shouted and charged forward first.

Zhao Yun charged to the front line, with his soldiers following closely behind, engaging in a fierce battle with Zhongli's army.

Zhongli this, Zhongli secretly cheered. He knew he had successfully enraged Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun had gone mad. He believed that Zhao Yun would fight him to the death at all costs. At that time, Zhao Yun would be the best bait. He was confident that as long as he lured Zhao Yun here, he would be able to capture Zhao Yun.

Upon realizing this, Zhongli was overjoyed and immediately ordered his troops to advance.

"General, this is bad! Our army has suffered a setback. The enemy has advanced to within a short distance of us. What should we do now?" A soldier ran up to Zhao Yun in a panic and reported.

Zhao Yun frowned, his gaze sweeping around. Suddenly, he saw Zhongli leading his troops to attack southeast, while Zhao Yun's troops from the northwest were chasing southwest. The southwestern army was about to join forces with the southeastern army. Once the two armies joined forces, they would pose a huge threat to their army, and they would be doomed to defeat.

"Damn it, we've been tricked! That bastard Zhongli is bluffing us! Their target isn't us, but Daliang City behind us! They're deliberately luring us to attack Daliang City!" Zhao Yun roared, his eyes flashing with cold light.
