Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 539
At Juyongguan, Yuan Xi, who was once again entrusted with important tasks, was not in a good mood at the moment. He knew that this was the last chance his father gave him.

However, Juyongguan is different from Macheng and Guangning, which were guarded before. There is not much population here, and naturally there are no people.

If you want to defend against the enemy, you can only rely on the army formation and the strong city of Juyongguan.

As a strong pass against the Hu people in the past, Juyongguan is naturally strong. The city is tall and pine. Behind the foundation, the city wall alone is more than ten battles thick, and horses can run on the top of the city wall. It is much easier to deploy an army here than other places.

But this doesn't give Yuan Xi much sense of security.

The city was attacked twice by Ma Chao with less victories and more. Although the opponent used tricks, he was defeated if he lost. There was a psychological shadow. If possible, he really hoped that his father could be defended by someone else.

If he loses again, not only will his father look down on him, but his current power will also disappear. The number of people who defected to him will be lost because Zhen Mi was taken away. The departure of the Zhen family will make Yuan Xi unable to continue As before, he didn't have to worry about money and food, so naturally he didn't have enough money to win over talents, and the little prestige and hope of succession were also consumed in this battle with two straightforward defeats.

On the way back, many diners had quietly left. Yuan Xi knew that he had completely lost his inheritance qualifications. Since he lost his inheritance qualifications, he naturally didn't want to work hard anymore.

Even though he knew that this was the last chance his father gave him, he felt that he had no chance and didn't need to fight for it anymore.

However, the order has been issued, so he can only bite the bullet and come to Juyongguan to garrison. The only thing that comforts him is that the army led by his father is lying in ambush behind him, and he only needs to support him for [-] days.

As long as he sticks to it for twenty days or even twenty days, as long as his father is ready, he can evacuate Juyongguan.

Therefore, after entering the city, Yuan Xi's first order was to seal the city gate to the west. This time, no matter what method the other party used, he could not open the city gate again. All crossbows and catapults were installed on the city walls, and craftsmen were ordered to strengthen the city defenses.

Anyway, no matter how Ma Chao fights this time, he won't be able to leave the city half a step!

But in this way, he gave up the eyeliner in the north. He couldn't know the progress and movements of the opponent through the scouts, but as long as he guarded Juyongguan, everything else was trivial.

So he didn't know that Lu Bu had arrived in Juyong, let alone whether there was a shortage of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, as well as food and grass.

When Ma Chao arrived at Juyongguan Pass with his 3000 people horses, what he saw was the enemy soldiers in full swing fortifying the city defenses. He didn't finish the work in a hurry until he realized their arrival, and immediately followed by raising the gas shield on the top of Juyongguan. That is the secret of the mountain character. A powerful general can use the secret of the mountain character to completely integrate the army formation with the city. However, the guard of Juyong Pass obviously does not have this ability, but the blessing is there.

What is this for?
Ma Chao wandered around Juyong Pass twice, frowning slightly. He didn't meet the scouts before, he thought it was his own carelessness, and the other party's scouts were too far away to be noticed, but now it seems that the other party really didn't know that his army had arrived. This makes a little sense.

"General, are you attacking the city?" Dong Chao looked at the strong walls of Juyongguan, hesitantly, this pass is not easy to attack.

"Wait, wait for me to test it out." Ma Chao shook his head, rode his horse to the city, and said loudly, "I am Ma Chao from Xiliang, who is the guard?"

"Fire the arrow!" The so-called enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and was bullied by Ma Chao twice in a row. Seeing Ma Chao this time, Yuan Xi didn't want to say anything more to the other party, and directly ordered him to shoot the arrow.

Zhang Nan launched the arrow array, and in an instant, arrows rained down on Ma Chao.

Ma Chao had been prepared for a long time, the energy in his body surged violently, and the phantom image of the white tiger bounced most of the sharp arrows aimed at him, but these sharp arrows were all blessed by the army, and personal energy alone was not enough to completely Stay on guard, there are many arrow clusters piercing Qi Jin and shooting towards Ma Chao, Ma Chao dances the spear in his hand tightly, and the rest of the arrow clusters are blocked by him with the spear.

"Keep shooting, shoot him to death!" Yuan Xi knew that Ma Chao was brave, but he didn't expect that such a dense rain of arrows would not be able to harm him. He was shocked and angry, and immediately ordered people to shoot arrows and continue to shoot him.

Ma Chao had no choice but to block and retreat, until he was out of the killing range of the sharp arrow and could no longer penetrate his strength, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

who! ?

I don't know etiquette, vulgarity!
Ma Chao returned to the team depressed. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't everyone call each other by name first, say a few friendly greetings, and then talk about other things?
This Juyongguan guard doesn't talk about Wude!
"Is the general okay!?" Dong Chao sent shields to protect Ma Chao, rescued Ma Chao, and looked at Ma Chao worriedly.

"It's okay, the mere arrow array can't hurt me!" Ma Chao snorted coldly, looked at Juyongguan and said, "This Juyongguan guard is too rude, he doesn't pay attention to etiquette!"

This way he attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold, even Yuan Xi assembled a heavy army to defend the city, but he couldn't stop him. This is the first time he was blocked at Juyong Pass, and the blocking was quite embarrassing.

Dong Chao looked in the direction of Juyongguan, and said worriedly: "This Juyongguan is sandwiched between two mountains, and the five hundred steps before the city are narrow roads. Don't say that our army has only [-] troops. Even if there are more soldiers and horses, this kind of The terrain is also difficult to deploy, how can this break the city?"

Ma Chao turned his head and looked at the terrain of Juyongguan. Just now he was sent out by the enemy's bow and arrow all the way. Thinking of this, Ma Chao was very depressed.

However, the terrain in front of him is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not to mention that he doesn't have a large army, even if the troops in front of him go up all at once, they can be used as targets.

After observing for a long time, Ma Chao suddenly asked: "This Juyongguan Pass seems to have no green spirit to protect the city!"

"This is Guancheng." Dong Chao smiled wryly after hearing the words: "There is no land suitable for farming around. Naturally, there are few people. Even if there are, it is difficult to condense the green spirit of the city."

If the number of people is too small, even if there are Confucianists who condense the green energy to protect the city, they will not be able to condense much. A small amount of green energy to protect the city is not enough to form a defense at all, and it is almost the same as none.

"That is to say, the opponent only has an army to protect the city?" Ma Chao sat on the horseback, looking at the towering city wall opposite, his eyes shining.

"Yes." Dong Chao nodded, then looked at Ma Chao and said, "Young General, don't mess around!"

"What is nonsense?" Ma Chao gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Lead the army here and wait, and I will form an formation with [-] soldiers to meet him. If it is just an army formation, our army will not be afraid of him!"

Dong Chao wanted to stop him, but Ma Chao had already ordered [-] soldiers, but this time Ma Chao led them all with shields, forming an army formation and going straight to Juyongguan.

Seeing Ma Chao leave, Yuan Xi was relieved, but not long after seeing Ma Chao came again with 500 people, Yuan Xi frowned, and then sneered: "There are hundreds of people fighting in the area, and they want to break my city defense!? Zhang South!"

"The end is here!" Zhang Nan hurriedly took a step forward.

"Fire the arrows for me, don't pay attention to that Ma Chao, but shoot and kill all the five hundred bandits!" Yuan Xi pointed at the enemy formation.

Ma Chao's defense was too strong, and it was difficult to shoot him, but once the soldiers behind him used an offensive formation, their defense would inevitably be weak, and not everyone was as capable as Ma Chao.

"Here!" Zhang Nan agreed, and the army formation at the head of the city began to change, half of it formed a mountain character secret to protect the city wall, and the other half formed an arrow formation, preparing to attack with a broken character secret.

During the change of the army formation, Ma Chao had brought 500 people and horses surging forward, but he did not attack the city leaders. All he brought were sword and shield fighters. Without archers, it was impossible to attack the city leaders.

Zhang Nan also noticed this. The opponent's army formation is a secret of breaking characters, but all they bring are defense-oriented swords and shields. What do you want to do?
Before he had time to think about it, he directly ordered to release the arrows.

In an instant, arrows rained down, and the defense power of Pozimi was not high. The arrow array fell, and the soldiers below quickly raised their shields and gathered together. Many sharp arrows blessed by the arrow array directly penetrated the shield, and some pierced through the shield. Halfway through, they had already exhausted their strength, and some shot through directly, shooting and killing the soldiers under the shield together.

Ma Chao didn't care about these things, and went straight to the bottom of the city with five hundred shields, and a phantom of a white tiger appeared above the entire army formation, which was much more spectacular than Ma Chao alone.

But when Ma Chao came to the city, he saw a white tiger rushing towards the city wall in the eyes of the guards, and he couldn't help feeling frightened.

"Roar~" The phantom of the white tiger let out a roar, and under the phantom, all the forces of the army gathered together, and Ma Chao stabbed at the city gate with all his might.

"Boom~"

The whole Juyongguan trembled a few times, the gun gang collided with the army array protecting the city, the army array was torn apart, and a huge hole was pierced by the gun at the gate of the city, however...

Ma Chao stared dumbfounded at the shattered boulder behind the broken city gate. The broken stone fell from the hole. Ma Chao swallowed his saliva. He finally knew why he didn't see the enemy scouts along the way. What about him? Seal the city gate directly from the inside!

Even if it was a city defense battle, this was the first time he saw him fighting like this.

"Falling rocks!" On the top of the city, Ma Chao heard a somewhat familiar voice, followed by countless stones falling from the top of the city.

"Shan Zi Mi, get back!" Although Ma Chao was unwilling, but looking at the tightly sealed city gate, if he wanted to forcefully break through the gate, it might not be easier than breaking open the city wall.

Many soldiers were directly smashed to death with shields and shields. If they don't withdraw, the [-] soldiers of my own may not be able to last long before the entire army is wiped out.

Ma Chao reluctantly formed a mountain word secret, and slowly retreated.

The strong men at the top of the city can throw stones two or three feet away. Even if they form a secret mountain and the stones fall from the sky, they can kill people. After the ten corpses, he withdrew from the gate against the opponent's rain of arrows with a depressed face, and returned to the main formation with a depressed face...
