Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 533 Fighting, Be Serious

Dai County, Macheng.

"Second Young Master." When Yuan Xi arrived with his troops, Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng who were guarding Macheng hurried up to meet him.

Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng were high-ranking cadres and generals. When the high-ranking officials went to Jinyang, they left them to garrison Yanmen. Later, the high-ranking officials died in Jinyang. The two tried to hold on several times, but were easily defeated by the other party, and finally fled all the way to Macheng to help Yuan Xi guard here.

"You two don't need to be too polite." Yuan Xi signaled the two to get up, frowned and said, "Why is the green spirit of the Macheng city so thin?"

When he came, he had already noticed that Macheng's defense was weak, and having seen Lu Bu's methods, he didn't think it could stop Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

"Second son, this northern border is already desolate. There are few people in Macheng, and even fewer Confucian scholars. We only found seven Confucian scholars, and they are not very strong. They are transformed day and night, and they can only maintain this." Deng Sheng smiled wryly. road.

Even if no one attacks, the green energy of the city will dissipate, and the green energy of the city is not only related to public opinion, but also closely related to the number of people in the city.

Macheng is located at the border with Xianbei, facing the invasion of Xianbei to the south all the year round, the population is not prosperous, and the level of Confucianism is not high, so it is good to have some protection of the city.

At the beginning, Xinpi was able to block the combination of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Chen Gong in Jinyang. First, Jinyang had a large population, and second, he was not a weak Confucian. In addition, Jinyang is a big city, and there are many Confucian scholars. Such a strong moat and green spirit, but Macheng obviously does not have such conditions.

"My lord." General Zhang Nan of Yuan Xi's department bowed and said, "Macheng is sparsely populated, I'm afraid we still have to rely on the army to defend the city!"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "The general has seen Lu Bu's ability, and I'm afraid it is even stronger now. My father asked me to stay here for a month. If there is no green spirit to protect the city, it is difficult to stop the opponent with the army formation alone. A few gentlemen come over, let's gather the youthful energy of the moat."

Yuan Xi came here this time and brought a few famous scholars from Youzhou. These people's cultivation bases above Confucianism and Taoism were not much different, even if they were not first-class. Calculated by the sixth grade of Confucianism and Taoism set by Chen Gong at the beginning, these people are all At the pinnacle of the fourth rank, there is another person who should be regarded as entering the fifth rank realm. With their help, they should be able to gather more youthful energy to protect the city.

January! ?

Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng trembled for no reason when they heard the words. Although Yuan Xi brought a lot of soldiers and horses, it would be difficult to defend the city in front of Lu Bu for a month, right?
Didn't it mean that the army will come in a few weeks?

Given that the combined population of Macheng is less than [-] people and not as many as an army, even if the people want it, it will be difficult to form a green city that cannot be broken by top generals like Jinyang.

In front of Lu Bu, sticking to it for a month... is difficult!
Just as he was talking, he saw a scout flying horse running back from outside the city, roaring as he entered the city: "Close the city gate quickly, the enemy army is coming!"

On the city tower, Yuan Xi and the others' expressions changed when they heard Tan Ma shouting, Yuan Xi hurriedly shouted: "Close the city gate and prepare to defend the city. Gentlemen, please hurry up and gather the spirit of protecting the city."

"Here!"

Everyone agreed, and the Confucians went to help gather the green energy of the city, and the generals began to deploy the city defenses. Obviously, the green energy of the city is not enough to completely block the enemy in Macheng.

Small battle formations rose up at the top of the city, Zhang Nan accompanied Yuan Xi, looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, turned his head and said: "My lord, the bandit army is coming fiercely, we should go back to the city to avoid it."

"No, I've also seen Lu Bu make a move. If I retreat at this time, what will the soldiers think of me? Although Lu Bu is strong, it is delusional to tell me to hide in the city just because of his aura!" Yuan Xi waved his hand and spoke loudly. Said: "General, don't worry about me, go defend yourself!"

He is also considered ashamed and then brave. In the past two years since he came back from Xuanyuan Tomb, he has practiced the art of visualization hard, and he has the luck of a state. Although he is not refined like Chu Nan, as the lord of a state, the hearts of the people Where he is going, he can practice much faster than ordinary people, and his current strength is not comparable to that at the beginning. Even Yuan Xi feels that if he had entered the Xuanyuan Secret Realm back then, with his current strength, he would not have the opportunity for Chu Nan to show off.

While talking, the rushing men and horses had already arrived outside Macheng. Seeing the green air over Macheng, Ma Chao raised his eyebrows. He hates seeing this thing now.

Holding the spear high in his hand, the running army slowly stopped following Ma Chao's movements, and stopped at a distance of [-] steps from Macheng.

This distance is actually within the range of the defenders.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi's eyes lit up: "Fire the arrow!"

The other party is so arrogant, isn't it a sign of weakness not to give the other party a slap in the face?

Zhang Nan and the others nodded and had the same idea. These people are too arrogant.

At that moment, the defenders at the top of the city fired all their arrows, and under the support of the army formation, the sharp arrows were extremely powerful and roared towards Ma Chao.

Ma Chao raised his head and looked at the rain of arrows that pierced through the air. He didn't panic at all, even a little disdainful, and said loudly: "Arrow formation is ready!"

His arrow array is not his strong point, but that also depends on who he compares with?
Compared with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, he was indeed less interesting, but with these people in front of him, Ma Chao felt that he could beat ten of them.

"Om~"

The clusters of arrows coming through the air were blocked by the rising invisible air shield, and they bounced away one after another. When they landed, they had lost their power, but here, with the spear in Ma Chao's hand, a rain of arrows rose from the sky above the army formation. , if viewed from the side, it was just an afterimage that disappeared instantly, and when it reappeared, it had already reached the top of the city.

On the head of Macheng City, there were ripples on the green energy, some were bounced off by the green energy, and some directly penetrated the green energy and shot at the army formation at the top of the city.

"Puff puff~"

Even with the support of the army formation, there were still many sharp arrows piercing through the army formation and shooting directly at the guards. Not many people died, only a dozen or so, but the hearts of the guards were a little heavy.

My own arrow array can't break through other people's defenses, but when someone else's arrow array shoots at them, my own side has a green aura and the army array can't completely seal it. The strength gap between the two sides is a bit big!

"Ma Chao in Xiliang is here, the rats in the city, can anyone dare to go out of the city to fight?" Ma Chao came to the front of the formation unhurriedly, took a deep breath, gathered the power of the battle formation, and exhaled loudly and arrogantly The voice instantly resounded throughout Macheng.

"It's him?" Yuan Xi stood at the top of the wall, looking at Ma Chao. He naturally remembered this man. Back then, he was by Lu Bu's side and charged into battle. At that time Ma Chao was quite rude, looked him up and down a few times, didn't even say a word, just sneered and left.

Up to now, Yuan Xi still can't forget Ma Chao's eyes with deep disdain and contempt, which deeply hurt Yuan Xi's self-esteem.

He didn't expect to vote for Lu Bu now, no wonder Chen Gong was able to take down the entire Guanzhong so quickly and let the Xiliang Allied Forces be used by him. With the help of this person, it is not difficult.

"What's the matter? No one dares to fight?" Ma Chao waited for a while, seeing no one responded, he laughed arrogantly: "Is it because the people of Youzhou have no race? Or is it that Yuan Benchu ​​is incompetent, and even his subordinates are also incompetent?" ? If you are afraid of death, why not let this city go, and save this general from wasting his hands and feet!"

"My lord?" Zhang Nan looked at Yuan Xi, this Ma Chao was too arrogant, if he continued to push him like this, it might affect morale.

Yuan Xi nodded, took a step forward, and said in a loud voice: "Ma Chao, you are also a general. You should know that the battlefield is not a place for bravery and ruthlessness, but a place for soldiers. Since you are here to attack, come and try to attack the city. instead of barking wildly here!"

"I wonder who it is, so it's Mr. Yuan?" Ma Chao rode his horse, his hawk-like eyes fell on Yuan Xi's face like knives, and after a while he laughed loudly: "The art of war? This general is here to fight for you. Opportunity, the front of the army is together, the sword has no eyes, this general also does not want many soldiers in this city to be burdened by mediocrity like you, and compete in the art of war? Haha, Mr. Yuan, now that the two armies are fighting, we should be more serious. Don't joke with me! "

Yuan Xi's face turned livid in an instant, this Ma Chao is really annoying, especially this mouth, I really want to tear him apart!

Seeing that there was no one to fight, Ma Chao handed over the general formation to the deputy general, jumped out of the formation, left the formation and came to the bottom of the city. , In this way, this general is alone, standing here at this moment, you can send an army out of the city to fight, if you can defeat me, this general will keep his word, turn around and leave, you dare to fight!?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xi felt a little moved when he saw Ma Chao who had indeed left the battle formation. He turned to look at the generals and said, "Who will take down this thief with me!?"

"The final general is willing to go!" Seeing that Ma Chao was alone, Deng Sheng was a little moved, and immediately saluted Yuan Xi.

"Thank you, General!" Yuan Xi nodded.

Deng Sheng immediately ordered [-] soldiers, formed an army formation, opened the city gate, and prepared to go out and besiege Ma Chao.

But at the moment when the city gate opened, Ma Chao slowly raised his spear, and just as the gate was wide open, before Deng Sheng led his troops out of the city, Ma Chao suddenly slashed down the spear in his hand and shouted fiercely: "Kill! "

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and rushed to the gate of the city like thunder, with a long spear in his hand. Deng Sheng had just arrived at the gate of the city, and before he left the city, he saw a flower in front of him. Come, Gang Qi directly tore apart the battle formation, and plunged into his chest under Deng Sheng's astonished gaze, the violent energy directly exploded, before Deng Sheng could speak, he was torn into several pieces by the violent energy, and the battle formation also exploded. The smoke cleared.

The army brought by Ma Chao in the rear has also launched a charge. At the moment Ma Chao broke through the enemy's battle formation, they rushed into the city gate with Ma Chao surging.

On the tower, Yuan Xi stared blankly at the enemy troops pouring into the city like a torrent, not knowing how to react for a moment.

"My lord, let's go!" Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu and Xia Zhao saw the enemy army rushing into the city, knowing that the horse city was in danger, they surrounded Yuan Xi and withdrew without saying a word.

"Ma Chao, you shameless person!" Yuan Xi also reacted and cursed angrily.

But it's too late to say anything now. Taking advantage of Ma Chao entering the city to fight, Zhang Nan and others were deeply afraid that Yuan Xi would make a mistake, so they surrounded Yuan Xi and left directly from the other side of the city gate. Morale collapsed...
