Chapter 271: Martial techniques unleashed, suppressing the enemy general

Li Su accepted the order and, carrying out his mission, arrived at Sun Jian's camp.

Sun Jian was in the midst of a fierce battle with a detachment of Liangzhou rebels when he received the news that Zhou Shen was besieged.

"I ask General Sun to be the first to go and support General Zhou; my lord has also been ambushed and lacks the strength to provide rescue."

Li Su was also a master of rhetoric, and he spoke to Sun Jian in this manner.

"Do you have the order of the General of Chariots and Cavalry?"

"When a general is in the field, he is not bound by all military orders. The Liangzhou rebels are numerous and powerful; if there is the slightest hesitation, General Zhou will surely fall. I ask General Sun, for the sake of your colleague, to lend a hand."

Li Su's rhetoric was indeed masterful; he had grasped Sun Jian's character flaw, which was that he put righteousness above all else.

He was fundamentally unwilling to see a colleague fall.

"Huang Gai, you are to remain and guard the main camp. Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Zu Mao, follow me with the troops to rescue General Zhou!"

After weighing the situation slightly, Sun Jian was moved by Li Su's words and led one hundred thousand troops to rescue the General Who Sweeps Away Bandits, Zhou Shen.

…………

On the other side, Su Li, along with Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yu, and others, had been pursuing Han Sui for hundreds of miles.

Since they had already routed the enemy forces, they naturally had to capture or kill the opposing commander.

Moreover, suppressing the Liangzhou rebels was not only rewarded with military merit, but also with the thirty thousand warhorses captured from them.

The Xiliang warhorses were undoubtedly fine steeds and could be used as reserve mounts for the Blood-Red Cavalry.

Besides this, there were also the captured Liangzhou soldiers.

"Damn it, is that outlander lord Su Li a madman? Why does he keep chasing us without letting up?"

Han Sui was also being pushed to the brink by Su Li.

Su Li's troops had been in hot pursuit, capturing or killing tens of thousands.

"Die!"

Two large blades whistled in the hands of Guan Hai and Zhou Cang as they fought fiercely against several Zhang Zhang Qiang generals.

Those few Zhang Zhang Qiang generals were also possessed of immense strength, brandishing their weapons as they engaged in a bitter struggle with Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.

The two sides clashed, trading blows, with every move aimed at taking a life.

The surrounding ground cracked like a spiderweb, spreading outwards due to the chaotic battle between them.

The alien tribes had many reckless generals, but basically, only their martial strength was worth noting.

Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were locked in a chaotic battle with the Zhang Zhang Qiang generals.

Su Li, meanwhile, led Zhao Yu and the Blood-Red Dragon Cavalry in pursuit of that unit of Huangzhong Volunteer Hu troops.

That unit of Huangzhong Volunteer Hu led by a Han general was the greatest threat, which was why Su Li was in such hot pursuit, aiming to deal them a heavy blow.

Furthermore, that Han general was also leading a unit of heavy crossbowmen; although they had not reached the strength of a special unit, they were still extraordinary.

Their combat power was comparable to the Shooting Sound Camp of the Five Schools.

"Shield formation!"

Seeing Su Li and the others in hot pursuit, that Han general immediately ordered the surrounding infantry to form a shield formation to block the attack of the Blood-Red Dragon Cavalry.

As the Blood-Red Dragon Cavalry approached the shield formation, the heavy crossbowmen hiding behind it appeared, wielding special heavy crossbows, firing thousands of bolts at once, covering the area in a curtain of arrows!

The crossbow bolts tore through the air, creating friction and emitting bursts of sonic booms!

Su Li's expression tightened slightly.

This unit of heavy crossbowmen could definitely be called elite!

The general commanding this heavy crossbow unit could also definitely be considered a famous general.

But it was a pity.

His opponent was him.

And the Blood-Red Dragon Cavalry, which had reached the level of a god-tier unit.

"Charge!"

Under Su Li's command.

The Blood-Red Dragon Cavalry launched a direct charge, ignoring the sky-filling crossbow bolts and breaking through the enemy's shield formation blocking their path.

Su Li also rode his Blood-Red Dragon Horse, leaped into the air, and charged towards the Han general hidden in the back.

That Han general also held a special bow-crossbow and instantly fired a stream of light towards Su Li.

Compared to the bolts of the other heavy crossbowmen, it was faster and arrived first!

Normally, the traits of the Blood-Red Dragon Cavalry would allow Su Li to ignore arrow attacks.

But from the opponent's bolt, Su Li sensed a trace of danger.

Subconsciously dodging, he barely avoided the opponent's cold arrow; the bolt grazed his heavy armor, actually leaving a visible scratch.

If he hadn't dodged, the bolt would surely have pierced his heavy armor and gone straight through his chest.

"Interesting. To have such archery skills, you are definitely not an unknown person."

"I want to see exactly who you are!"

Su Li's gaze shifted slightly, and he attacked again, aiming directly for the enemy general's head, the Blood Dragon Divine Pattern Halberd descending!

That Han general drew his sword to parry, retreated several steps, and barely managed to receive Su Li's attack.

The opponent was clearly an expert with the bow, yet he still used a sword to receive Su Li's blow.

This was enough to show that the opponent's strength was also in the ranks of top-tier generals.

But he was only a top-tier general.

His specialty was still archery; once Su Li got close, he was simply unable to parry.

The Blood Dragon Divine Pattern Halberd collided fiercely with his sword; after only three rounds, the opponent appeared disheveled and attempted to flee.

However.

How could Su Li let him escape so easily?
