Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 332 Zhang Liao Charges, Zhou Yu Defeated Again
The reward for completing the exclusive task. If Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are in the same camp, the bond will be triggered and they will be like fish in water.

And this effect of being like a fish in water is also very simple. It directly acts on Gu Rubing's characteristics, above virtue. As for the bonus, it is even simpler and more crude. It increases the virtue attribute by 20%, and the upper limit of the virtue attribute increases by 50%.

This attribute bonus is truly terrifying.

This is not the most perverted thing. The most perverted thing is Zhuge Liang’s bonus.

When Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are in the same camp, after the "Like a Fish in Water" bond is triggered, Zhuge Liang gains another identity and his panel attributes change.

Gu Rubing curiously opened the small words "like a fish in water" that appeared at the bottom of Zhuge Liang's panel. Zhuge Liang's panel suddenly appeared in front of Gu Rubing, but there were some differences from the one that appeared two days ago. It cannot be said to be a difference, it can only be said that except for the name and identity, nothing is the same.

[Name: Zhuge Liang]

[Identity: Commoner]

Chief of Civil and Military Officials: As the chief of all civil and military officials, Zhuge Liang's civil and military officials' experience value is increased by 200%.

Looking at the equally luxurious panel, Gu Rubing didn't know what to say. He was originally a little puzzled. The historical Zhuge Liang was clearly a man of both political and military talents. Why was only the military affairs displayed and not the politics? It turned out that he was waiting here.

……

In Bingzhou, outside the city of Taiyuan County, Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 and approached the city. A considerable portion of these 50,000 troops were composed of the imperial guards and the capital garrison in the palace, because Cao Cao suffered heavy losses and injuries in the battle with Yuan Shao. In addition, not only Bingzhou needed troops, but Silizhou also needed troops to prevent it from being occupied by other princes in the name of serving the king. By then, the base camp would be gone, and Cao Cao would really lose the opportunity to compete for the world.

"Cao Zhonger has invested a huge amount of money, bringing in 50,000 people at once. Is he going to go all-in with Liu Caoxie?"

"I'm afraid these 50,000 are not qualified to go all in. After all, a considerable number of them were recruited from the Imperial Guards to make up the numbers. Liu Caoxie's men are all elite soldiers and generals. How can Cao Zhonger be qualified to go all in with him?"

"Now Liu Caoxie is no longer the Liu Caoxie who used to weave mats and sell shoes. He is now the most powerful prince who holds military power and has hundreds of thousands of troops."

"When the live broadcast just started, the person I least favored was Liu Caoxie. But it turned out that Liu Caoxie would kill whoever I favored. Until now, I favor Cao Zhonger. Will Cao Zhonger be the next unlucky one?"

"Hahahaha, brother, those people you thought highly of are really wronged. It's not that they were defeated by Liu Caoxie, but that they were killed by you."

“666, the Medusa of the live broadcast world, whoever you look at will win!”

"Are you polite? But I'm still a little worried. Could Cao Zhonger really be killed by this idiot?"

"Cao Zhonger is a lucky man. If there are ten more of this level, I, Cao Zhonger, will not be afraid of them anymore. Come to me, Cao Zhonger!"

"Why do I always feel that Liu Caoxie is going to have a one-two punch this time? According to Liu Caoxie's deployment of troops, first, the information has been blocked. Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci, two super invincible generals, have taken the scouts under Liu Caoxie's command and have gone out for a walk. The two lines of defense block Cao Cao and Sun Jian from transmitting information. At the same time, Zhang He brought 130,000 troops to support Zhou Yu. Zhang Liao is Zhou Yu's nemesis. With these 130,000 troops, won't they eat up all the troops Zhou Yu brought? Cao Zhonger only has 50,000 troops, which is more than Liu Caoxie's, but don't forget that Liu Caoxie's troops are all elite soldiers. Add Guan Erye and the terrifying Qinglong Daoist, almost everyone is a general. I always feel that this will be Liu Caoxie's battle to become a god!"

The fans in the live broadcast room analyzed the situation between Cao Cao and Gu Rubing.

Now that a three-way war is about to begin, the live broadcast rooms of Gu Rubing, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian have become lively. They all want to know who will win in the end in this battle that can determine the direction of subsequent games.

In Xuzhou, outside Guangling City, Zhou Yu also led a large army to station there. Compared with Cao Cao's 50,000 troops, Zhou Yu's troops were much more spectacular. A total of 140,000 troops gathered outside Guangling City, wanting to achieve their goal in one battle and capture Guangling County in one fell swoop.

"Sun Menghu has invested a lot of money this time. He has mobilized almost all the land forces that can be mobilized. Then Zhang Fei's Eighteen Riders of Yanyun can attack wherever they point? There is no obstacle at all."

"It's not just Zhang Fei's Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. Don't forget Liu Biao's Jingzhou Army. Although they are not experienced soldiers, they are at least regular troops with a certain combat effectiveness. Sun Menghu's defense in the three counties east of Yangzhou can't stop their attack. I'm afraid that before Zhou Yu can capture Zhang Liao, Sun Menghu will be beaten to Yangzhou City."

"The value of Zhuge Liang's plan is still rising. I can only say that it is amazing."

"After this battle, no one can stop Liu Caoxie from unifying the world." "No, you guys who like to discuss Brother Caoxie, can you please go to Liu Caoxie's live broadcast room? Why do you have to say these disgusting words in Sun Menghu's live broadcast room?"

"Zhou Yu must have been traumatized by Zhang Liao's attack. He has been besieging the city for three days and has yet to launch an attack."

"I can see that the person above has not paid much attention to the live broadcast room before. Let alone three days, it is normal to not attack the city for thirty days. As long as we ensure that the enemy has no support, siege is the best means of attack."

"Alright, stop talking. You can't help but laugh at someone you've only taken 50 steps. You've paid a lot of attention, but I haven't seen you come up with any brilliant analysis. You still think sieging the city is the best method. Zhang Liao is not fighting alone. Liu Caoxie's army of more than 100,000 is already on the way. In a one-on-one fight, Zhou Yu will definitely not be Zhang Liao's opponent. Now they're besieging Zhang Liao just to dampen his spirit. It's only been three days since the siege. Just wait and see. In two days, Zhou Yu will definitely launch a large-scale attack on the city."

"You have too many words. If I follow you, I'll see if Zhou Yu can attack the city within two days."

Just as the netizens in the live broadcast room analyzed, Zhou Yu did have some psychological fear of Zhang Liao. Although Zhou Yu himself did not feel it, the fact that he used an army of 130,000 against a mere 10,000 people and still used the tactic of besieging the city was enough to explain everything.

Zhou Yu also had selfish motives. She wanted to wash away the shame of being defeated by Zhang Liao with fewer troops twice before and to prove her own strength.

As expected, as netizens expected, on the fourth day of the army's stationing, Zhou Yu ordered a general to lead an army of 30,000 to attack the city, while simultaneously attacking from the east, west and north, and launching attacks on all four walls.

Zhou Yu was stationed in the rear, his eyes fixed on the city gate. The general standing facing the wind with a spear in his hand was Zhang Liao, who had defeated the larger force with a smaller one twice in a row and beat Zhou Yu miserably every time.

Wipe away the shame, today! Zhou Yu clenched his fists and roared.

"Siege!"

Following Zhou Yu's order, the army began a full-scale attack. The shield soldiers were at the forefront, helping the charging infantry to resist the arrows shot by the archers on the city wall, while leading them slowly towards the city gate.

However, Jiangdong has many waterways, and most of Sun Menghu's subordinates are naval forces, so the army's equipment is much worse. Even shield soldiers can only be equipped on the main attack wall in the south, and the other city walls can only rely on human lives.

Under normal circumstances, the ratio of attackers to defenders is about three to one, with one defender for every three attackers. However, in the game, with the addition of various buffs, this ratio is not very stable.

Take Gu Rubing's subordinates for example. Just like the type of soldiers, they can enjoy a lot of bonuses. Finally, there is Gu Rubing's virtue bonus and Zhuge Liang's various bonuses. The final result is that one soldier may be able to fight against some weaker generals. Although not enough to face third-rate generals, there are thousands of such soldiers on the battlefield. With that terrifying combat power, even if a legendary general comes, he may not be able to gain the upper hand.

Just when the shield soldiers were about to push the battle line to the city gate, the city gate suddenly opened wide. This scene made Zhou Yu's men confused. What was going on? Did they open the gate to surrender? Or did some soldiers open the city gate out of fear of death?
Before Zhou Yu gave the order to meet again, he saw a figure he would never forget in his life, riding a horse out of the city gate. The man held a spear in his hand, and there were several spears hanging next to the horse's belly. He rushed out alone and rushed towards the shield soldiers in front.

Following closely behind were Zhang Liao's personal soldiers, each of whom was an elite cavalryman and could easily defeat a hundred enemies alone.

Just like that, Zhang Liao led more than 500 cavalrymen and rushed out of the city gate, killing a full 30,000-strong army without any cowardice. The formation was as if they had 30,000 people and the opponents were 500 people.

Zhou Yu had no time to give orders. He also did not expect that Zhang Liao, who had originally abandoned Hailing City, would rush out of the city at this time. Their only way to survive was to wait for Liu Bei's support, so that they could have a glimmer of hope.

But he neglected Zhang Liao. What kind of person was Zhang Liao? Facing shield soldiers, a type of soldier that was most afraid of cavalry charges, how could he allow shield soldiers to lead these infantry siege soldiers to the city gate? Of course, he had to charge out of the city. As long as he dispersed these shield soldiers, these infantry would become living targets for the archers on the city wall.

With the addition of various attribute buffs, each of the archers on the city wall can pull a bow weighing dozens of stones. The arrows they shoot are so powerful that when they hit the shield soldiers, they can stagger them and leave a thumb-sized hole on the shield.

Starting from five hundred steps away from the city gate, arrows began to rain down like rain. The closer to the city gate, the stronger the power of the arrows. At this moment, the arms of the shield soldiers had been numb from the shock, and they could no longer withstand the charge of these elite cavalry.

Zhang Liao leading these elite cavalry was like a wolf among a flock of sheep. Without the protection of the shield soldiers, the infantry became sitting ducks for the archers. While dodging the arrows, they had to face the charges of Zhang Liao and those elite cavalry.

However, Zhang Liao and those cavalrymen's target was the shield soldiers. As long as they killed all of them, it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Yu to attack the city. He could only use human lives. Once he chose to use human lives, Zhang Liao would have absolute confidence that he could hold out until support arrived.

Looking at Zhang Liao wielding a spear and killing people like crazy on the battlefield, Zhou Yu almost fell to the ground because of the fear from deep in his heart. He was distracted for a moment, but he reacted immediately and gave orders to surround and kill Zhang Liao and those cavalrymen. As long as Zhang Liao was surrounded and killed here, even if they killed thousands of people, it would definitely be a profit.

As long as Zhang Liao died outside the city, the soldiers inside the city would be like chickens and dogs, unable to withstand a single blow.

But Zhou Yu was overthinking it. The general galloping on the battlefield was like a god descending from heaven. With a wave of the spear in his hand, heads fell one after another.

Some third-rate generals and elite soldiers hidden among the soldiers by Zhou Yu, who were prepared to be used to attack the city gate and make the final decision, were also killed by Zhang Liao using long spears hung on the horses' bellies.

What was originally a good siege battle was turned into a war in which the cavalry unilaterally slaughtered the infantry by Zhang Liao's 500-plus cavalrymen. This scene made Zhou Yu feel very bad, and the horrific experiences of the previous two times came to his mind again.

By the time the army support arrived from the rear, Zhang Liao and the cavalry had almost slaughtered all the shield soldiers. However, there were less than 100 elite cavalrymen left out of the original 500, and even Zhang Liao was injured.

Finally, Zhang Liao rode his horse to a stop outside the city gate, holding the spear that was bathed in countless blood, pointing at Zhou Yu in the distance, and revealing a creepy smile.

Zhang Liao was holding a human head in his hand. It was a second-rate general hidden among the siege infantry. Holding the human head, Zhang Liao roared angrily.

"How dare you, little Jiangdong kid, attack me?"
