  Tsai Chung did not lower his head and easily lost, the second game ended easily again.

  Ding Yuan was sitting in the grand hall of the governor's mansion at this moment, sipping tea and leisurely watching the results of the second round of competition.

  Although Ding Yuan's side is not strong in military strength, it is no longer as difficult as it was at the beginning. The four famous generals of the three kingdoms, although lacking in troops and horses, still have no worries for Ding Yuan.

  His cousin was defeated, and Cai Mao's face turned iron-green. Two consecutive defeats made him feel ashamed as the lord of Xiangyang.

  In a fit of rage, he personally took to the field. At this time, his subordinate Cai Sheng stepped forward and said: "The general's body is worth a thousand pieces of gold, how can it be exchanged with these nameless people? This small general will take the field, and certainly capture one person for the general!"

  Seeing Cai Sheng's confident appearance, Cai Man felt relieved and took the opportunity to say: "I've already agreed, remember, only victory is allowed, not defeat!"

  "Roger!"

  Tsai Sheng stepped out of the queue.

  Cai Sheng led the archer troops, and here, except for Lü Bu's troops, which were similar to his, there was not a single flying knife soldier under Xiang Gong. Although Zhang Lang's martial arts soldiers could restrain him, there were only a few of them. As for Zhang Liao's long spear soldiers, they were the targets of the archer soldiers. Therefore, Cai Sheng was extremely confident and thought to himself: "As long as I am careful and cautious, there is no reason for me to lose. If I win this battle, my status in the family will be greatly elevated!"

  Lü Bu's general, this commander has the confidence to defeat him in battle, although there are only twenty soldiers under his command!

  Lü Bu glanced at Xiang Lang, clasped his fists and said: "General, you are a great talent in internal affairs, how can you let General Fan be so reckless? This little general is so arrogant, watch me crush his morale!"

  Having said that, he didn't wait for Lang's response and galloped away on his horse.

  When he saw Lü Bu coming out to fight, Cai Sheng was not afraid at all. He thought to himself: "The enemy general has come out, nothing could be better! If I capture him, my prestige will increase and my merit will be greater!"

  The third round begins, and it's a nameless young general against Lü Bu. Ding Yuan lost interest in the battle, knowing that this was a sure win!

  Lü Bu charged onto the scene and didn't give Cai Sheng a chance to utter any harsh words. "Charge!"

  As soon as the military order was given, it was time to charge into battle. This young general naturally had to use a thunderous momentum to destroy them; otherwise, how could he show off his mighty power as Lü Fengxian?

  Both armies were archer infantry, and neither had the upper hand. In fact, Lü Bu's archers had the advantage, but since they were supposed to charge as a whole army, the archers would move their bodies, making it less likely for them to be hit by enemy fire during the exchange of shots.

  However, after all, Cai Sheng's side had more archers and crossbowmen, so the soldiers on both sides suffered losses at the same rate.

  Cai Sheng was overjoyed at this, although he had not gained any advantage, but his side had more archers and crossbowmen, so it would definitely be Lü Bu's soldiers who would die first.

  Moreover, Cai Sheng was arrogant and thought that he already had the ability to be a general, in Xiangyang City, he was one of the top, even stronger than Sima Hui, the governor of Xiangyang, although Sima Hui was a civil officer, a great talent for pacifying the country, but also a famous figure. Therefore, Cai Sheng was very confident in his own martial arts, even if he was not as good as the enemy general, with the help of soldiers, it seemed not difficult to defeat the enemy general.

  Just as Cai Sheng was about to attack, Lü Bu had arrived. At this moment, Lü Bu's archers and crossbowmen were almost all lost, while Cai Sheng still had forty men.

  Ts'ai Sheng saw Lü Bu riding towards him on horseback and gave the order: "My sons, let us go together to kill the enemy!"

  Never mind, Cai Sheng did have a bit of a general's demeanor, and his soldiers were also using their lives to cooperate with him, fighting fiercely with Lü Bu.

  At first, Cai Sheng was able to hold his own against Lü Bu with the help of his soldiers, and at this moment, Cai Sheng's confidence grew, seeing that his general had a good plan. Without hesitation, he used it, which was the group attack skill "Wooden Barrel Impact". At this moment, Lü Bu's side had already suffered heavy casualties among their archers.

  The wooden barrel crashed down, directly attacking Lü Bu.

  "With a 'hong' sound, Lü Bu was impacted, his life value suddenly dropping by five points!"

  Cai Sheng was overjoyed, and as a result, adding to the blow he had struck Lu Bu, Lu Bu's life value had dropped by more than seven points, while he himself remained completely unscathed!

  Cai Sheng became more and more pleased with himself, his hand holding the Wu Hook Sword, quickly unfolding.

  However, Cai Sheng did not notice that although he was unscathed, his bow and arrow soldiers were dying at a rapid rate.

  "Pffft!"

  Cai Sheng was overjoyed in his heart, he had actually struck another blow.

  However, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and when he looked again, cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "At this moment, his remaining archers were almost all dead or wounded!"

  Looking at his undamaged 73 life points, Cai Sheng still felt a little lucky in his heart. He had already chopped Lu Bu twice, and Lu Bu hadn't even hurt him yet!

  However, it was only afterwards that Cai Sheng came to his senses - he wasn't a skilled martial artist, but rather Lü Bu had simply parried his attack with ease, and the real target of his wrath were the archers!

  Lü Bu, now freed from his restraints, was no longer a match for Cai Sheng. Seven consecutive hits later, he had beaten Cai Sheng to the point where only a thread of life remained.

  Cai Sheng was enraged and hacked down with all his might, dealing two points of damage to Lü Bu's life value. Immediately afterwards, he was struck by Lü Bu's Heaven-Defying Halberd and fell off his horse!

  This time, Lü Bu's archers were completely annihilated, and all of Cai Sheng's forces were killed. He was captured, and they won a complete victory!

  Cai's successive losses of three generals, while the enemy general remained unscathed. Cai Mao could no longer endure this and personally rode out to challenge, his voice cold as ice: "This general will take the field himself; who will come forth to fight?"

  Zhang Liao rode out on horseback: "I have come to fight you!"

  It was Zhang Liao, and Cai Mao felt a sense of relief in his heart. He knew that he was no match for Zhang Liao in terms of martial arts, but he had brought archers with him, and he had been through many battles, and his command ability was not weak either. There was still hope for victory!

  Moreover, the horse he rode was a white horse, extremely fast and far superior to Zhang Liao's sorrel horse. Therefore, Cai Mao was confident that even if they couldn't win, he could still retreat with ease!

  The fourth game, Cai Mao vs Zhang Liao.

  "Huh?"

  Watching the fourth duel, Ding Yuan suddenly jumped up from his chair with a drowsy look, and muttered: "Cai Mao, although he is not very good in character, he also has some skills. Let's see how Wen Yuan defeats him!"

  Ding Yuan had great confidence in Zhang Liao, although Cai Mao's troops were a match for Zhang Liao. Ding Yuan did not think that Zhang Liao would lose, but only whether he could capture Cai Mao or not.

  Ts'ai Man, with bow and arrow in hand, is quite at ease. Long-range troops can shoot down the long spear troops from a distance.

  Zhang Liao saw Cai Mao's fearful tortoise formation and couldn't help but laugh, saying: "This man is truly afraid of death. But by doing so, how can he flexibly command the archers to kill the enemy? This type of troop is really wasted in his hands!"

  It turned out that Cai Mao's formation was the fish scale formation. In this formation, most of the soldiers surrounded the main general, and only about one-tenth of the troops could move flexibly.

  Zhang Liao saw this and immediately dispersed his long spear soldiers, then rapidly advanced forward.

  Zhang Liao's formation was the Goose Formation, which is exactly opposite to this Fish Scale Formation. In this formation, only one-tenth of the soldiers are beside the commander-in-chief, while the rest are in the front row, allowing for flexible command of advancing, retreating, dispersing left and right, and concentrating in the center. This is a formation that can be flexibly controlled by a great master of military strategy.

  Obviously Zhang Liao was a master of military tactics, as the soldiers moved swiftly and smoothly, advancing rapidly forward.

  Although the archers shot with all their might, the long spearmen suffered little loss.

  At the time of arrival before the formation, one of Zhang Liao's soldiers was protected, and there were only three people left. The remaining five had already been shot!

  The seventy-two men who had been advancing forward finally came into close combat with the bow and arrow soldiers.

  That and this fish scale formation can only flexibly control one-tenth of the soldiers in front, Cai Mao didn't know what to do for a while.

  As the long spear soldiers had already killed one-tenth of the flexible commanding troops, they were about to come over. Cai Mao hastily issued a military order "Full army charge", and the archers protecting him on his side immediately went to kill the long spear soldiers.

  After a while, Cai Mao's eyes lit up, and Wu Zong's plan was ready!

  However, at this moment, Zhang Liao let out a cold laugh, and suddenly the long spear soldiers concentrated in the center. Then, a bright light appeared in Zhang Liao's hand, and that light flew quickly towards Cai Mao.

  It was Zhang Liao who acted before Cai Mao and launched the military strategy 'Breaking Arrow'!

  Like a setting sun's piercing arrow, it came whizzing straight in, directly hitting Cai Mao. In an instant, Cai Mao's eighty-five point life value was reduced to sixty points!

  At this time, Cai Mao finally reacted, and Wu Jiangji's plan was finally launched, and the 'Linked Pearl Fire Arrows' flew out.

  At this moment, the concentrated soldiers in the center blocked several consecutive rocket attacks, greatly reducing their power. When Zhang Liao was hit, he only lost 8 points of life!

  Cai Man's heart was filled with anger and frustration, but he had no choice, for Liao was too cunning and unpredictable, his military tactics were like magic!

  However, fortunately, at this time, Zhang Liao's long gun soldiers had all died, and his archers still had thirty people left, rushing towards Zhang Liao!

  Zhang Liao's remaining life value is still over 70 points. If Cai Mao makes a desperate attempt now, he might be able to keep Zhang Liao, but he doesn't dare to. How can the greedy and timid him fight a battle without any certainty?

  Thirty soldiers, knocked down Zhang Liao's ten points of life value, and all sacrificed!

  Just as Cai Mao was hesitating, whether to escape or not, Zhang Liao shouted from afar: "General De Kui is indeed a tiger general, Liao is inferior, and he retreated in defeat!"

  Cai Man was taken aback by these words. What trickery was Liao playing? It was still unclear who would end up with the deer!

  However, Cai Mao was puzzled but would not let go of the opportunity to show off his might. He immediately rode his horse in pursuit and finally, Wu Jiangji shot out a barrage of fire arrows, dealing 20 points of damage to Zhang Liao's life value!

  Watching Zhang Liao flee, Cai Mao said in a cold voice: "The general fled quickly, and our family couldn't catch up!"

  Cai Mao wins the fourth round!

  Ding Yuan, who was taking it easy, had his eyes wide with surprise. What's going on? Zhang Liao... lost!

  Zhang Liao was actually defeated, and Lv Bu also had an incredulous expression. He looked at Zhang Liao who retreated into the city in defeat and muttered to himself: "What is this Zhang Wenyuan up to?"

  At this time, Xiang Chong, who was riding a horse in a desolate place, had a shock on his face, with an expression that dared not believe.
