Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 657
"General, Huang Zhong has arrived outside the city, and now he is destroying the green spirit of our army's defense!" Guan Yu was resting in the city, and Xia Houbo, who went out of the city to arrest the scouts, limped back.

"Have you ever captured an enemy scout?" Shi Tao asked hastily.

"The last general is incompetent..." Xia Houbo said bitterly: "The scouts of the bandit army are quite powerful. The last general personally led thirty good men to arrest them, but they were defeated by the scouts. Thirty good men lost 17 people. He will be wounded... but he cannot be captured, the scout companion quickly rushed over, and the general can only retreat, and was shot by a scout and injured his leg when he retreated!"

Although the scout is an elite army, but when he went into battle himself and joined forces with thirty soldiers, more than half of them were lost, and he could only try his best to injure him, but he was defeated by the companions who rushed over... This is outrageous.

Guan Yu was silent when he heard the words. Although Xia Houbo's reputation was not obvious, he had followed Liu Bei in the southern and northern wars since he started his family. Speaking of which, he was also a veteran who had experienced many battles. Both martial arts and military leadership were quite good. No matter how elite the scouts were, they were still just small soldiers. Xia Houbo couldn't even capture a small soldier alive, and even if the opponent had two extra soldiers, he could only run away.

Thinking about Huang Zhong's combat power today, Guan Yu asked God to possess him, and it was only a draw. With such an army and such generals, how can this battle be fought?
Guan Yu and Shi Tao looked at each other, feeling a sense of powerlessness in their hearts at the same time.

"Maybe the general will fight again?" Shi Tao looked at Guan Yu and asked.

Guan Yu shook his head: "Someone's invitation to God is different from others, and it can only be used after one month."

Guan Yu's invitation to the gods and Lu Bu's killing of the gods actually lead to the same goal by different routes. In other words, most people with their talents will eventually return to the unity of man and god, but in comparison, Lu Bu is more domineering. Belonging to himself also made his strength improve by leaps and bounds after killing the gods, directly crossing the realm and reaching the level of refining gods.

However, Guan Yu's way of asking God for reference is relatively gentle, integrating God into himself a little bit. Guan Yu is one step faster than Huang Zhong by asking God, but Huang Zhong practiced Qi training first, and the speed of improvement is also very fast. In the state of asking God, Guan Yu is obviously invincible.

Shi Tao's heart sank even more when he heard the words, that is to say, within this month, Guan Yu would not be able to fight Huang Zhong again, and the opponent was not only formidable as the general, but the combat power of ordinary soldiers was also somewhat exaggerated, even with the youthful spirit of the guard , I am afraid that this Xinye will not be able to keep it for a few days.

Shi Tao and Guan Yu looked at each other, feeling a little worried in their hearts. Their original plan was to spend a month in Xinye to give Liu Bei enough time to prepare for Xiangfan, but now it seems that three days may not be enough, let alone a month. Wait, once the green energy of the city guard is broken, judging from the performance of the opponent's soldiers, even ordinary soldiers can jump directly to the top of Xinye City without using external force, and the green energy of each other is broken, I am afraid it will be the time when Xinye City is broken. !

This was the first card Chu Nan threw, and they almost couldn't catch it, so how will they play next! ?

"Boom~"

Just when the two were speechless, Huang Zhong had already led his army to the outside of the city. Although he had just experienced a battle, Huang Zhong and his army did not feel tired at all, nor did they rest. Instead, they directly attacked Xinye City. The attack was launched.

Shi Tao's complexion changed, and at this moment, Guan Ping came in and said to Guan Yu, "Father, the enemy army has attacked the city!"

In fact, he didn't need to say that Shi Tao, as the controller of the city's green energy, could feel it very clearly, and there was no time to think about it. The two got up at the same time and walked towards the city wall.

Xinye City is not big, and a group of people walked quickly to the city wall, less than two feet outside the city wall, but seeing that Huang Zhong's army was arranged in an orderly manner, and there were no siege equipment, Huang Zhong just used arrows to consume the city wall green air.

"Why is it so much less?" Xia Houbo exclaimed, the green aura of the moat was still very strong before, but after such a short period of time, the green aura of the moat seemed to have faded a lot.

"The enemy's attack is too fierce, and the green energy of the city defense may not last long." Shi Tao's heart sank. He had made sufficient preparations before, which was why he was confident in defending the city for a month.

However, the facts have proved that in the face of absolute strength, it is not too big for a strategy to play a moral role. According to Huang Zhong's offensive, the defense of the city may not last for three days.

Guan Yu watched the army formation for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The three armies form an formation, military commander, let go of the green spirit of the city guard."

There are two forms of moat green energy, one is absolute defense, before the moat green energy is exhausted, it is difficult for any force carrying an army to penetrate the defense of the moat green energy.

Although this method is powerful, its consumption also changes with the enemy's offensive. It is really difficult for Huang Zhong's attack power to protect the city for too long.

The other is not to stop, but to consume, which can offset the power of the army attached to the opponent's attack. After the siege equipment penetrates the green energy of the city, its power will be greatly reduced, and the defending army can easily be lazy. This method consumes less green energy for the city guard, but it will put more pressure on the defenders.

But now, in order to reduce the consumption of the city's green energy, it is a good choice to turn on the energy-saving mode.

Shi Tao nodded, and immediately held the official seal of Xinye County, dispatching the green energy of the city guard to turn it into a void, no longer blocking the enemy's arrows, but blocking them with consumption.

"Boom boom~"

Arrow clusters pierced through the green aura of the city moat and fell towards the top of the city, making a violent collision sound. The green aura of the moat couldn't completely counteract the force of the enemy's army attached to the arrows! ?
Shi Tao's complexion was a little ugly, the enemy's strength exceeded his expectations.

"Look, general, the enemy's formation seems to be different from the normal formation!" Shi Tao said in a deep voice, pointing at the opposite formation.

In the past, the army array, like the arrow array that Huang Zhong is displaying at this moment, usually does not move. However, at this moment, the soldiers in the arrow array are constantly running, gathering and dispersing at times. The inexplicable rhythm makes people feel dazzled after watching for a long time.

Amazing changes have taken place in the opponent's army formation and practice methods!

Guan Yu nodded solemnly, inexplicably thinking of the Struggle between Heaven and Man from the Central Plains in his mind. In the Struggle between Heaven and Man, he talked about the method of Qi training in the Zhou Dynasty, but it was not the same as the way of visualization back then. The art is generally spread to the world through this book.

In addition, there are also pre-Qin battle formations that have been lost. If these are true, what was mentioned in the dispute between man and man...

Guan Yu shook his head, expelling this thought, the most important thing right now is to retreat from the enemy!
He quickly changed his army formation, focusing on defense, but he saw waves of arrows shooting towards the city without stopping. Even if the opponent's arrows were enough, they would eventually run out of manpower. But it seems endless, can the opponent's archer bear such consumption?
Guan Ping organized a few counterattacks, but his own arrows were shot at the opponent's arrow formation, and there was no defense on the opponent's arrow formation, but the strange thing was that those arrows seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, Scattered everywhere, in short, they can't shoot anyone.

what's going on! ?How to fight this! ?

Several times in succession, Guan Ping gave up.

The battle between the two sides lasted for a day, basically Huang Zhong was fighting, and Guan Yu was fighting hard. By the time Huang Zhong returned to the camp in the evening, most of Xinye's original strong green spirit had dissipated.

In just one day, the green energy of the city was almost exhausted. If the fight continues, Shi Tao's speed of gathering the green energy of the city may not be able to catch up with the consumption, and the city will almost be destroyed tomorrow.

Guan Yu has fought against the opponent, once the city is broken, his own soldiers can't stop the opponent at all.

And the other party didn't seem to have the intention of besieging the city, they just gathered their troops to fight fiercely!
Not long after Huang Zhong retreated, several soldiers came from outside the city in a hurry. After revealing their identities, they were tied to the city wall with ropes by the city defenders.

"General, Deng County is in an emergency, please send troops to help quickly, General!"

"General, a large enemy army has bypassed Xinye and entered Jiangxia. Jiangxia is in a hurry. Please send troops to help!"

The two soldiers spoke at the same time.

Shi Tao and Guan Yu's expressions changed slightly, Shi Tao frowned and said, "Chunan's move is against the law of war!"

Why is Xinye the gateway to Jingxiang?
Because no matter where Chu Nan fights, Xinye has to go through just like the attack on Jiangxia and Deng County now. If the opponent's troops pass by and Guan Yu sends troops to cut off their food roads, then the army that invades Jiangxia will completely lose its backup. Directly become a lone army.

This is a taboo in the art of war!

Guan Yu glanced at him, but did not answer. In fact, it is extremely difficult for Xinye to deal with Huang Zhong now, let alone send reinforcements to support these two places.

The opponent used this seemingly irrational method to mobilize troops because he was sure that Xinye could go down quickly. Otherwise, with Chu Nan's style of using troops, Chu Nan would not do this if there was any risk.

Xinye, I can't hold it anymore!
Guan Yu sighed, looked at the crowd and said, "Break out tonight, I will return to Xiangyang!"

Shi Tao, Guan Ping, and Xia Houbo were all silent when they heard the words, not because they didn't want to fight, but even if everyone died in this battle, the ending wouldn't change much, at most it would last for another day.

However, this day is meaningless in the overall situation, but Liu Bei's elite will be compromised here.

Chu Nan really doesn't move, it's amazing!

Shi Tao said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Huang Zhong won't let me leave easily!"

As long as Huang Zhong wasn't stupid, he wouldn't let them have the chance to withdraw their troops. Shi Tao was sure that even though Huang Zhong didn't make any moves now, as long as they showed signs of withdrawing their troops, Huang Zhong's onslaught would follow.

Think about the arrow array that can hardly stop the green energy of the city guard, and then think about the strength of Guan Yu after inviting the gods, who can only barely draw.

"If you can't go, you have to go. When necessary... give up the army!" Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

It is impossible for soldiers and horses to take them back, but Liu Bei must know the news here as soon as possible, otherwise if the two sides fight, if they are not prepared, Liu Bei will definitely suffer a loss, and it will be a big loss.

In fact, now Guan Yu and Shi Tao don't expect much about whether they can hold Hanshui and Xiangfan. Green energy is not a panacea for protecting the city, and Huang Zhong hasn't used the siege equipment yet!
Shi Tao's heart moved when he heard the words, give up the army?It's better to use the army as a cover!
