Chapter 357: The Battle of Red Cliffs is in Full Swing (Part 3)

~9 min read 1,735 words

Zhang Xingyu and Hali's ice duet was never completed, which also became a lifelong regret in Hali's heart.

On the Winter Solstice, the Battle of Red Cliffs finally entered the white-hot stage on this day.

Because the river surface was frozen, both sides of the enemy and ourselves went all out, engaging in close-quarters combat.

On the river surface, sword lights flickered, flying arrows were like rain, and the sounds of shouting and screaming merged into one.

"655,711, 655,712..."

Shu army camp, on the watchtower, Lin He counted the numbers softly.

Beside him, Zhang Xingyu watched the battlefield on the river surface quietly, his heart filled with emotion.

In this Nether realm, the cruelty of war was no less than the world wars in the Yang realm.

In one great battle, hundreds of thousands or even millions of Yin souls were reduced to ashes.

He understood what Lin He was muttering about; 655,712 represented the total number of people from both sides who had died in battle.

Although he didn't know how this guy Lin He came up with these numbers, he knew that the number of Yin souls who died because of this Battle of Red Cliffs would definitely not be lower than this number.

Zhang Xingyu carefully climbed down from the watchtower. Although the battle was cruel, he still had to fulfill his duties.

When Zhang Xingyu returned to the military tent, the Demon King was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror. Zhang Xingyu didn't bother with her and went to start a fire to cook.

An hour later, the food was ready. He carried the food to the main command tent.

In the command tent, Zhuge Buliang was busy running around.

Battle reports were constantly coming in from outside.

"Report, General Guan killed the enemy general Li Dian..."

"Report, Wei army general Xiahou Dun led troops to break into the allied right flank..."

"Report, Wu army general Lü Meng used the military general skill 'White Clothes Crossing the River' to deceive the Wei army guards and break into the Wei army camp..."

"Report, Wei army military advisor and Zhonglang General Xun Yu led an army of 200,000 to reinforce, currently only 15 miles away from Red Cliffs..."

"Report..."

"Report..."

"Report..."

Zhuge Buliang sometimes frowned, sometimes shook his feather fan lightly, and sometimes issued orders loudly.

He didn't even glance at the food Zhang Xingyu sent.

"Report, Wei army reinforcements have arrived at the battlefield..."

Hearing this news, Zhuge Buliang's face changed drastically. He rushed out of the command tent and shouted loudly: "Order, order all personnel in the camp to assemble. Whether it's guards, cooks, grooms, or dancers, distribute weapons to everyone and prepare for battle."

A quarter of an hour later, the logistics personnel remaining in the camp were assembled together.

Zhang Xingyu was assigned a broken sword, Hali was assigned a short sword, and Lin He was assigned a short knife.

In front of them, Zhuge Buliang, wearing battle armor and holding a long sword, shouted loudly: "If we don't fight, we die. Everyone, follow me and charge!"

After Zhuge Buliang finished shouting, he was the first to raise his sword and charge out of the camp.

"Charge!"

The others also followed him and charged out.

Holy crap, this old guy Zhuge Buliang doesn't want his life anymore.

He wants to lead these hundreds of ragtag soldiers to turn the tide?

Swept up by the crowd, the three of them also charged into the battlefield.

On the battlefield, black blood flowed everywhere, broken limbs and remains were everywhere, and broken swords and spears were scattered messily on the ice.

When Zhuge Buliang led the people to charge into the battlefield, the allied front line ahead was already crumbling.

"Military Advisor Skill, Boost Morale!" Zhuge Buliang shouted.

"Dong-dong-dong!" The earth-shaking sound of war drums rang out from the ragtag soldiers behind him.

Zhang Xingyu looked at the partners around him.

These guys clearly didn't carry war drums, so how could they make drum sounds? He looked closely and realized that these guys' bellies were bulging up and down. Damn, they were actually using their bellies as drums. Zhuge Buliang's military advisor skill was indeed awesome.

Gaining the boost from Zhuge Buliang, the allied front line temporarily stabilized.

"Swish-swish-swish!"

Ahead, the Wei army launched an arrow rain attack.

Seeing this, Zhuge Buliang waved the long sword in his hand.

"Military Advisor Skill, Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats!"

The arrow rain filling the sky seemed to be attracted by something, and they all flew toward the ragtag soldiers behind him.

Mother of God!

Zhang Xingyu wanted to run away, but he found that his whole body couldn't move.

In front of him, those dancers and fat cooks all turned into scarecrows.

The arrow rain was like locusts!

In less than a quarter of an hour, these scarecrows were densely covered with arrows.

Zhang Xingyu's body was also covered with arrows, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

How strange!

Just at this moment, Zhuge Buliang suddenly shouted at the Wei army ahead at the top of his lungs: "Thank you, Your Majesty the King of Wei, for the arrows!"

"Pa-pa-pa!"

Zhang Xingyu only felt his body lighten, and the arrows stuck in his body all fell to the ground.

He touched his body; his skin was intact, and even his clothes didn't have a single scratch.

This old guy Zhuge Buliang's military advisor skill was really not bad.

"Courtesy demands reciprocity! Legion Skill, Arrow Rain Like a Tide!"

In an instant, Zhang Xingyu only felt as if his body had been drained by something.

At the same time, the arrows under his feet soared into the sky, forming three dense waves of arrow rain with other arrows and shooting toward the Wei army formation.

"Mecha above!"

In the opposite Wei army formation, someone shouted loudly.

"Ding-ding-dang-dang!"

A series of continuous sounds came from the Wei army formation ahead.

Zhuge Buliang's legion skill had failed.

It seemed that there were capable people in the Wei army formation.

Just at this moment, a thunderous cheer came from behind the Wei army formation.

"His Majesty the King of Wei has personally led an army of 100,000 to arrive at the battlefield."

As soon as the shouting stopped, a thunderous cheer also came from behind the Wu army formation.

"His Majesty the King of Wu has led 50,000 reinforcements to arrive at the battlefield."

Before the shouting stopped, a thunderous cheer also came from behind the Shu army formation.

"His Majesty the King of Shu has led 50,000 reinforcements to arrive at the battlefield."

Zhang Xingyu couldn't care about cheering.

According to his experience as an old bird of more than ten years of Three Kingdoms games, after the three BOSSes appeared, this Battle of Red Cliffs had reached its climax. At this time, doing protection and not being a bird that sticks its head out was the only way to survive to the end.

The survivor is the king. Living to the end of the plot is the royal way.

Zhang Xingyu threw the scrap metal in his hand to the ground and summoned his own Spirit Treasure Armor and Flying Sword Fire Dragon.

The Spirit Treasure Armor was naturally put on Hali. Hali had no strength to truss a chicken at this time. Although her injuries had healed, she still couldn't use her magic power. According to her estimation, it would be difficult for her to return to her previous peak state without ten or eight years of recuperation.

"In a moment of melee, follow me closely!" Zhang Xingyu said, holding Hali's hand.

"Mm. Don't worry. Wherever you go, I will go." The person who answered wasn't Hali, but Lin He behind him.

This old immortal who pretends to be young.

Zhang Xingyu didn't bother with him and just pulled Hali to follow closely behind Zhuge Buliang.

At this time, behind Zhuge Buliang was the safest place.

The battlefield fell into a brief calm because of the addition of the three kings.

However, this calm only lasted for less than ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the war started again, and it was more cruel than ever before.

Zhang Xingyu followed behind Zhuge Buliang, slashing and hacking incessantly.

I don't know how long it had been, but the sound of killing on the battlefield gradually faded.

Zhang Xingyu looked around and realized that there were only a few hundred people left on the river surface.

Three flags stood in a triangle in the middle of the great river.

One flag had a white background and a red pattern, with a red phoenix bird embroidered on the flag surface. This was the flag of the King of Wei, Cao Cao. Wei established the country with fire and respected the phoenix bird as its totem beast.

One flag had a blue background and a white pattern, with a white mysterious turtle embroidered on the flag surface. This was the flag of the King of Wu, Sun Quan. Wu established the country with water and respected the Xuanwu as its totem beast.

One flag had a yellow background and a green pattern, with a green divine dragon embroidered on the flag surface. This was the flag of the King of Shu, Liu Bei. Shu established the country with wood and respected the Azure Dragon as its totem beast.

Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, the three kings gathered.

They looked at each other but didn't make another move.

Zhang Xingyu pulled Lin He behind him and asked: "What is going on? Why are there only so few people left? Where are the others?"

"Dead, all dead!" Lin He answered.

"1.68 million Yin soldiers, and only this many are left. But this Yin soul sacrifice matter is finally complete. Hehe."

Just as Lin He said this, he felt the ice under his feet suddenly soften, and his body fell downward involuntarily.

"Plop! Plop! Plop!"

In the middle of the Yin Spring River, the thick ice layer suddenly melted. The remaining troops of the three kingdoms, who were on the verge of a fight, fell into the water one after another.

Zhang Xingyu held Hali's hand tightly.

At the moment of falling into the water, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Yin Spring River water is too damn cold!" ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
