The Three Kingdoms: I asked you to save Guan Yu, not to destroy Sun Quan.

Chapter 115 gives you a chance to reorganize your language

The bamboo raft passage was too narrow, so the Han army could only pass through in a queue. As a result, Guan Xing, who was at the front, had already passed through the trap area, while the Han army at the back was still in the camp.

But in such a critical moment, every second counts. Guan Xing could not wait for all the Han soldiers to pass and form ranks before charging. Instead, he would kill as many as possible, as long as they were people.

Guan Xing charged forward with all his might, carrying a large sword. Before long, he saw the Wu army, which was very close to the main camp but whose formation was in disarray and unable to advance.

He knew that Wu Jun was being held back by Deng Hong, and without thinking, he ran while shouting, "The Han army treats prisoners well; those who surrender will not be killed..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Xun, standing behind him, immediately led his army in a unified shout: "The Han army treats prisoners of war well; those who surrender will not be killed. The Han army treats prisoners of war well..."

The thousands of voices combined to create an extremely strong penetrating force, successfully suppressing the noise in front and accurately reaching Wu Jun's ears.

Wu Jun had recently developed a fear of the Han army, and had also heard many rumors from the prisoners released by the Han army, so he did not have much hostility towards the Han army.

Without hostility, there is no morale. Upon hearing the Han army's shouts of surrender, a considerable commotion instantly broke out in the ranks.

Furthermore, Wu Jun's attention was entirely focused on Deng Hong, who was surrounded, and almost no one was paying attention to the rear. As a result, Guan Xing was not hindered at all and easily rushed to Wu Jun's front and into Wu Jun's formation.

In this situation, Guan Xing naturally showed no mercy, slashing down one man before charging towards the next, shouting as he went, "The Han army treats prisoners of war well..."

After shouting, he saw Gan Xun chasing after him to protect his safety, and hurriedly kicked him.

"You kicked me..."

Gan Xun, puzzled as to why he was being beaten, asked a question. Before the words were even out of his mouth, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't kill me! I surrender..."

Wu Jun's mind was completely in chaos. Upon hearing the surrender, he didn't even bother to find someone to call out to him. Almost instinctively, he echoed, "Don't kill me! I surrender! I surrender too..."

The wave of surrender quickly swept through the entire army and triggered a chain reaction. The Wu soldiers, like wheat fields blown down by the wind, threw down their weapons and knelt down in rows. Those who did not kneel down for the time being naturally became the focus of the Han army's attention.

At this moment, Zhang Ming was still foolishly besieging Deng Hong. Only when he heard the shouts of the Han army getting closer and closer did he realize something was wrong and turn around to check. Then he was instantly dumbfounded.

What's going on? The battle hasn't even started yet, why are your soldiers already lining up to surrender?

What the hell is this?

Zhang Ming felt as if the sky had fallen, and he stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning, not knowing how to react.

The Han army ignored all that and, led by Guan Xing, quickly charged forward. Guan Xing recognized Zhang Ming and, instead of swinging his sword, kicked him in the chest, sending him flying before finally slashing down with his sword.

Zhang Ming was jolted awake by the kick. Seeing Guan Xing's broadsword coming straight at him, he was so frightened that he wet himself. He shouted impatiently, "Don't kill me, I surrender!"

The knife was about to strike, and there was no time for him to think or hesitate; saving his life was the priority.

Guan Xing suddenly stopped, the blade halting three centimeters from Zhang's brow. He grinned and said, "Captain Zhang, we're quite destined to meet again after only a few days apart."

Zhang Ming slowly raised his hand, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said, "Yes, General, what a coincidence."

Zhang Ming was reluctant to surrender. Zhang Cheng had treated him well, and he had never considered betraying Zhang Cheng. But what could he do when his entire army had surrendered? Continuing to resist would only lead to his death; it was better to preserve his life for later use…

Guan Xing had no time to ponder his inner thoughts, and sternly rebuked, "Tie him up! Zhang Ming has already surrendered. Do you still intend to resist?"

Hearing the shouts, the nearby Wu soldiers all looked over. Seeing that Zhang Ming was bound, they had no reason to resist anymore. They threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground, surrendering faster than the Gallic rooster of later times. This speed made many Han soldiers begin to question their existence.

Guan Xing quickly stepped forward to meet Deng Hong, grabbed his shoulder, and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

The assault team deserves the greatest credit for the swift victory. If they hadn't withstood the siege of thousands of enemy troops, the Han army would never have been able to win so quickly.

Deng Hong stretched his arms, showing off the heavy infantry armor that the steel mill had custom-made for him, and said, "It's fine, this armor is of such high quality that the Wu army can't break through it at all, it's just a bit heavy."

After saying that, he turned around and called out, "Xia Tong and Tie Lin, are you two alright?"

Two assault team members, also dressed in infantry armor, ran over quickly, their faces beaming with excitement, and said, "It's alright, we can still charge back and forth. It's a pity Wu Jun surrendered."

Deng Hong rolled his eyes at the two men, then turned to introduce Guan Xing, saying, "General, it was these two who were the first to slide down the hillside on bamboo rafts and then the first to charge into the enemy camp and disperse the Wu army inside, successfully giving us the initiative. They are the ones who deserve the most credit in this battle."

Guan Xing laughed and said, "Two people chasing after hundreds of enemy soldiers, impressive! Xia Tong and Tie Lin, right? I'll remember your merits. After we capture Zhang Cheng and finish this battle, we'll discuss and reward you all."

The two men exchanged a glance and said excitedly, "We are willing to die for the general."

Guan Xing patted the two men on the shoulders, about to continue encouraging them, when Ji Jie suddenly ran over, looking distraught, and asked, "General, what's going on? How come the battle is over so quickly?"

He was assigned to the second echelon, and only after Gan Xun passed through did he lead the main force to attack. He originally thought that the forces of Han and Wu were evenly matched, and that they would fight a fierce and earth-shattering battle.

But as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, before he even had a chance to make a move, Wu's army surrendered in unison.

I voted...

That damn Wu Jun, can't he have some backbone? At least hold on a little longer and let me feel a bit involved.

Looking at Wu Jun kneeling on the ground, Ji Jie felt like a lottery player who had been buying the same numbers for a long time but won the jackpot today without buying them – utterly dejected and heartbroken.

Guan Xing laughed and said, "That's normal. Wu Jun's mission is to draw our attention to the front line. Without the order to attack, he naturally has no intention of attacking. His instinctive reaction after being attacked is to retreat to the camp to defend. That's understandable."

"However, our assault team is still the best. If they can't hold off Wu's army and it retreats to its camp to defend with all its might, we'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Deng Hongxia and other assault team members proudly puffed out their chests, which made Ji Jie feel a chill in his heart. What kind of animals did the assault team recruit?

Guan Xing patted Ji Jie on the shoulder and laughed, "The rest is up to you. Quickly gather the prisoners and clean up the battlefield. We still need to counterattack Zhuji and head to the ancient road in Shan County. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we can't afford to delay."

Ji Jie smiled wryly and said, "Well..."

After seeing Ji Jie off, Guan Xing, along with Deng Hongxia, Tong, and others, strode up to Zhang Ming with an air of arrogance and said with a smile, "Captain Zhang, let's chat. How many troops are there in Zhuji? Who is in charge? Can you command the troops inside the city to open the city gates for me?"

Time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to linger in Zhuji. The best way to quickly take over Zhuji was to ask Zhang Ming for help.

Zhang Ming said weakly, "This humble general doesn't really want to talk. Can I refuse?"

Guan Xing stared into his eyes and smiled meaningfully, "What, you're saying you also want to be like Quan Cong, Zhou Xun, and Zhuge Ke, entering the Han camp without saying a word, is that right?"

"I've been hard of hearing lately and haven't been able to hear very well. Could you please rephrase your sentence?"

Those three ancestors had the right to slack off in the Han camp and ignore Guan Xing. You, Zhang Ming, a mere retainer of the Zhang family, want to follow their example?

Zhang Ming shuddered in fright and quickly smiled apologetically, "No, no, Zhuji currently only has three thousand garrison troops. With the seven thousand in front of us, we could have defended the county to the death, but you acted too quickly and didn't give me that chance."

"This humble servant is willing to feign opening the city gates to welcome the general, or rather, to welcome the mighty Han army into the city."

Guan Xing patted his shoulder and laughed, "That's more like it. It seems that Captain Zhang also understands the principle that those who know the times are the heroes. Very good, I'm very satisfied."
