Chapter 219

Under One Person!

……

Yu She could already see that Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Sun Ce, Zhang Liao, and even Liu Bei, having heard of the changes in their rear and the crisis he was in, had abandoned Cao Cao's army and were all on their way to provide reinforcements.

Yu She also "proclaimed" himself to be a cautious person. Therefore, even though Cao's army had been thrown into chaos and was being beheaded one by one by Lü Bu and other generals in the irreversible chaos, heading towards a visible defeat, he still sat calmly in the center of the army and commanded the army with composure.

His central army would certainly not be unprepared for the enemy's decapitation strike, but no matter how cautious and vigilant Ren Yushe was, it was impossible for him to be prepared in advance to deal with the charge of tens of thousands of elite cavalry when facing Cao Cao and Liu Dai.

Because Cao Cao and Liu Dai simply couldn't muster that many cavalrymen; at most they could muster a thousand, which was far from enough to break through their central army.

However, Ma Chao's Liangzhou cavalry numbered in the thousands, and Zhang Xiu's Bingzhou cavalry numbered in the thousands. The combined charge of tens of thousands of cavalrymen was earth-shattering and unstoppable, directly breaching Yu She's central defense line.

Not far away, Huang Gai, though covered in wounds, still gritted his teeth and held on desperately, biting Ma Chao to prevent him from escaping and cutting off the last hope of rescuing Sun Jian.

Before his eyes, the young general who called himself the King of Spears of the North had already fiercely charged to Yu She's side under the protection of cavalry. Yu She's personal guards tried to stop him, but they were all blocked by the cavalry guards beside him. At this point, it was too late to hide.

Zhang Xiu? Yu She had only heard that he was Zhang Ji's nephew. The only battle record he knew was that Zhang Xiu was defeated by Ma Chao during Ma Teng and Han Sui's counterattack on Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Yu She smiled.

Given: Ma Chao > Zhang Xiu, and Ma Chao = the Five Finger of the World!

It is also known that: the Five Fingers of the World > Yu She > everyone!

Conclusion: Yu is no less capable than Zhang Xiu!

Having figured this out, Yu She coldly stared at Zhang Xiu, then threw his head back and laughed loudly, "What kind of nobody dares to try and take my head?"

As he spoke, he brandished his spear, leaped onto his horse, and charged forward with ferocious force. His spear, like a dragon, aimed straight for Zhang Xiu's throat. "You mere brat, you dare to seek death!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu's delight at seeing him charging towards him intensified, and he shouted, "Come!"

He immediately thrust forward with his spear, deflecting Yu She's attack. The spear tip aimed straight for Yu She's heart. Yu She dodged to the side and then thrust his spear again. During this time, he also imitated the spear technique used by Zhao Yun earlier, performing a fancy spear dance, making the spear shadows dazzling and overwhelming.

However, he clearly belongs to the type who, after watching Zhao Yun demonstrate once, feels that he has already mastered it in his mind, but when he actually uses it, he is far from satisfactory.

Zhang Xiu easily saw through his disguise, deflecting the spearhead with one thrust and then stabbing straight at his face with another. Yu She was shocked and hurriedly used both hands to barely manage to deflect the spear.

The two exchanged blows, and although Yu She was fighting back and forth with Zhang Xiu, cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He had a vague sense that something was wrong!

Although Zhang Xiu has not yet reached the level of the Five Fingers of the World, he is still at the same level as himself: [Below the Five Fingers, above all others in the world]!

However, there are differences even among the five fingers.

Yu She reflected that his past rankings of martial prowess were not detailed enough, which was why he made such a small mistake today!

Upon closer reflection, there were precedents for such mistakes in my previous life.

For example, in his previous life, he died at the hands of Yan Liang, whose strength was obviously far inferior to that of Lü Bu and Guan Yu. However, he only roughly classified Yan Liang as one of the Five Finger of the World because Yan Liang defeated him.

This is clearly vague and imprecise. It is precisely this lack of rigor that led him to believe that he was invincible under the "Five Fingers of the World," resulting in his current overconfidence and carelessness.

In the blink of an eye, Yu She had already drafted a more accurate ranking of martial prowess in his mind.

Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and others form a tier, known as the "Five Fingers of the World," capable of easily taking one's head amidst a vast army.

Zhang Xiu, Yan Liang, and others are in the same category, which means they are "not below me." Although they can defeat me, they are not without the potential to fight me.

The rest, including Hua Xiong, Ji Ling, Pan Feng, and others, are grouped together as "Under One Person," referring to everyone under Yu She!

What? You mean Hua Xiong? He's a dead man, what's so great about him being weaker than me? If you're so capable, bring him back to life!

(When we meet again "next time", Yu will surely take Hua Xiong's head!)

What if I can't get it? If I can't get it, then we won't meet!

……

His thoughts raced, but in the blink of an eye, all he could see on the field was Yu She's spear thrusting back and forth. Although he was struggling to defend himself and faced danger time and time again while dodging, he managed to barely hold off Zhang Xiu's offensive.

Although Yu She was surprised by Zhang Xiu's strength, he did not panic.

Last time Yan Liang killed him, he still had to fight him for more than ten rounds. Although Zhang Xiu may not be weaker than Yan Liang now, Yu has also experienced another lifetime of growth.

This current life is also the longest Yu She has lived so far, spanning nearly seven years from the first year of the Chuping era when the warlords attacked Dong Zhuo to the present day when Yuan Shu changed the era name and declared himself emperor.

After another seven years of battles and arduous training, Yu She's strength in this life is vastly different from what it was before.

Defeating an opponent of this caliber, who is "not inferior to me," may be difficult, but merely stalling them for a while and surviving until Fengxian arrives to rescue them should be enough.

Yu She was determined to delay and save his life, focusing on dodging and parrying. Sometimes, when he couldn't dodge in time, he would rather suffer some non-fatal injuries in order to buy time.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Yu She in a short time, Zhang Xiu looked at the Red Hare in the distance, which was galloping towards him like a raging fire. Along its path, all that could be seen was the halberd sweeping in all directions, invincible and unstoppable.

Zhang Xiu was terrified at the sight, and his grip on the spear grew increasingly anxious!

However, the more anxiously he attacked, the more tightly Yu She defended. Despite being at a disadvantage in every way and even being stabbed by Zhang Xiu several times, facing constant danger, he remained as firm as a reef, struggling to hold on and refusing to die.

Yu She, whose helmet plume had already been knocked off and whose hair was disheveled, grinned at him.

"Kid, come on! Let's fight another three hundred rounds!"

Zhang Xiu was shocked to see this, and his face turned red with anger!

However, just as Zhang Xiu was unable to subdue Yu She in a short time, and Lu Bu was about to arrive from not far away, Yu She suddenly felt a pain in his throat as the sharp spearhead pierced through him.

Before he died, he stared wide-eyed and tried to look back, but he could not see anyone behind him. Instead, he saw Huang Gai lying on the ground, lifeless, on the battlefield not far away.

Ma Chao!

With a furious shout of "Stop hurting Zichuan!", Yu She's life seemed to come to an end.
