Evony’s official team recently launched the Chinese general Cheng Yaojin for the Double Ninth Festival during the King’s Party Event. Players can also gain another Chinese general, the Epic Historic General Liu Bei. Today, we will focus on the legendary general Zhao Yun, a skilled cavalry leader in Evony. This article will tell Zhao Yun’s legendary story, explain his Special Skill and Specialty, and outline how to obtain him.
In 208, the Shu forces struggled against the Wei forces. Cao Cao led a 5,000-strong elite cavalry to pursue Liu Bei. While Liu Bei fled, Zhao Yun stayed behind to protect his family. In 219, Zhao Yun led a small group to gather intelligence. He encountered Wei’s vanguard and fought bravely until he was surrounded. To escape, he fought his way back to camp. When he saw the enemy approaching, he opened the gates and silenced the war drums to create the illusion of an empty camp. Mistaking this for an ambush, Wei’s forces retreated, allowing Zhao Yun to counterattack.
Zhao Yun is celebrated as one of the Five Tiger Generals, known for his combat skills, loyalty, courage, and intelligence.
