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

Chapter 338: Taiyuan Attack and Defense, Erye defeats the enemy with one against two

Dian Wei and Xu Chu both knew they were no match for their opponent, and Dian Wei was injured. If they continued fighting, they wouldn't gain any advantage even if they joined forces, so they retreated.

Although Guan Yu was unwilling to give in, he also knew that even if he defeated the two men by himself, he would not be able to keep them. It would be better to let them go in order to delay time.

After the two returned to the big tent, they both knelt on the ground.

"My lord, I am no match for Guan Yu. Please punish me!"

Cao Cao hurriedly walked up to the two men and helped them up, but neither of them was willing to get up. With Cao Cao's arm strength, how could he lift up these two strong men? On top of that, neither of them was willing to get up, so Cao Cao felt even more helpless.

Seeing this, Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the two men.

"So what if I'm not his match? You two are still my favorite generals. Even if you can't beat either of you, I still like you!"

Cao Cao said to the two of them.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly discovered that Dian Wei, who was originally short of thirteen famous general points, now had all the famous general points. Dian Wei, who had already been a first-class general with full experience, was finally promoted to the ranks of famous generals.

Just by fighting with Guan Yu, Dian Wei actually obtained thirteen famous general points, which is almost the same as the famous general points obtained by winning a battle. And this is the case of defeat. If he had won, Cao Cao couldn't imagine how many famous general points he could have obtained.

Even Xu Chu, who had only fought for a few moves, obtained five famous general points, and now he is only eleven points away from being promoted to famous general.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up immediately. Isn't this Guan Yu just a place to brush famous general points? Or in other words, an NPC who brushes famous general points. Before entering the game, Cao Zhonger was a heavy online game patient, so after coming here, his development has been good, until now, he has become one of the most powerful princes.

But in a flash, Cao Cao rejected this idea. He had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to obtain famous general points. If calculated based on experience points, Dian Wei would have been promoted to a famous general long ago. It was only because Dian Wei had never fought any far-reaching battles and was not famous throughout the world that he obtained famous general points much more slowly.

Otherwise, Dian Wei should have some experience points as a famous general by now.

After getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Cao Cao turned his attention to Dian Wei's panel again. In addition to the previous panels, Dian Wei had a new feature: Ancient Evil (summoning ancient evil spirits to possess him and ask for the power of evil spirits to descend)!

Effect of Ancient Evil: Dian Wei falls into a mania state, speed +500%, toughness +500%, attack power +500%, other negative effects -100%, intelligence -200%, the mania state lasts for a maximum of a quarter of an hour, after which Dian Wei falls into a weak state, all attributes -50%.

This effect can no longer be described as abnormal. Dian Wei's current strength is already extremely strong, and he also has two other major characteristics, Endless Rage and Destroying Army. Endless Rage also greatly increases attack speed and attack power in a short period of time. After using it, he falls into a calm state with all attributes -30%. Destroying Army provides attack power.

It can be said that Dian Wei is a walking heavy tank. Although powerful, he is bulky. However, the 500 speed bonus provided by the Ancient Evil makes Dian Wei a humanoid weapon with both speed and attack power.

Dian Wei's five characteristics are basically for increasing his own attributes, and there are few benefits for his subordinates. This leads to Dian Wei being unable to lead troops into battle. This is also one of the reasons why Dian Wei's promotion to a famous general was so slow.

"If you lose, you lose. You can fight back next time."

Cao Cao patted Dian Wei on the shoulder to comfort him, but Dian Wei actually looked up and said something that made Cao Cao roll his eyes.

"What if I still can't beat him next time and lose again?"

"Then we'll fight next time. If you can't win alone, I'll give you soldiers to fight. If you're not enough, I'll add more. As long as you're still alive, I'll wake up with a smile in my dreams. What's the big deal if I lose!"

As Cao Cao spoke, he patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and spoke comfortingly as well.

Both of them were capable generals around him. Even though Dian Wei was promoted to a famous general before Xu Chu, Cao Cao would not favor one over the other.

What bothered Cao Cao the most was that the two's famous general points increased too slowly. Xu Chu and Dian Wei were in a similar situation. Among the four characteristics, three were to add attributes to themselves, and the other one was a fake attribute for the subordinates and was also negligible. That's why Boss Cao came up with the idea of ​​treating Guan Yu as an NPC.

The brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun are the exact opposite of Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Most of the characteristics of the two brothers are to enhance their troops, so even though they are weaker than Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they were still promoted to the ranks of famous generals earlier than the two.

In this way, Cao Cao already had three famous generals under his command, and the fourth, Xu Chu, would not be far behind.

"My lord, Guan Yu was sitting high up in the city gate without any flaws. I am not sure, but when he came down, he brought a team of personal soldiers with him. I guess there should be only a few hundred of Guan Yu's personal soldiers in Taiyuan County. My lord, please make a decision quickly to prevent Liu Bei's support from arriving!"

After Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu both stood up, Xu You immediately bowed and advised Cao Cao to send troops to attack Taiyuan. Cao Cao turned a deaf ear to Xu You's words and even ignored him, and just returned to his seat.

Xu You was about to say something else, but was pulled by Xun Yu beside him and could not continue.

Cao Cao returned to the first seat, looked around and said.

"Yuan Rang, you will be the commander-in-chief, Zhong Kang, you will be the deputy commander-in-chief. Lead 20,000 infantrymen and attack Taiyuan County immediately after nightfall!"

As long as they can capture Taiyuan County this time, Xu Chu's famous general points will surely see a huge increase, and he may even be promoted directly to famous general. That would mean Cao Cao would kill three birds with one stone. With Dian Wei and Xu Chu both promoted, the entire Bingzhou would be in his pocket, and Cao Cao's strength would see a huge increase.

At night, 20,000 infantrymen, under the cover of shield soldiers, began to advance towards the city of Taiyuan with its gates wide open. Inside the city gate, Guan Yu had a bandage wrapped around his chest. It was the scar left when he fought off Dian Wei and Xu Chu alone. The wound was not deep and would be fine after a simple hemostasis.

Guan Yu led two thousand Qinglong swordmen and three thousand broadswordmen and slowly approached the city gate. When Xiahou Dun saw Guan Yu appear, he waved his spear and pointed at Guan Yu. "Kill!"

Following Xiahou Dun's order, 20,000 infantrymen rushed towards the only gate of Taiyuan County City. Guan Yu stood at the front riding on his Red Hare. Looking at the rushing infantrymen, Guan Yu also raised his sword.

"Come into battle with me!"

Five thousand soldiers, all holding swords, walked out of the city gate.

"Resist the enemy!"

Guan Yu shouted angrily, and five thousand soldiers drew their swords together, trying to fight against twenty thousand men with five thousand men. Although Guan Yu did not have Zhang Liao's commander skill of fighting to the death, which had the terrifying bonus of defeating the enemy with a small number of enemies, but after Guan Yu was promoted to a famous general, his characteristic of stabilizing the country with force could stably provide his troops with a +1000% gain in all attributes, which should not be underestimated.

Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu rode their war horses and headed straight for Guan Yu. Their goal was clear, which was to entangle Guan Yu and prevent him from joining the battlefield. Otherwise, if he really entered the battlefield, it would be like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, which would be a one-sided massacre for those soldiers.

So the two men had decided before the battle that they must stop Guan Yu at any cost and prevent him from clearing out the infantry on a large scale.

"Guan Yu, I, Xiahou Dun, will meet you today! Let's see if you are worthy of your reputation or just a facade!"

Xiahou Dun shouted loudly and swung his spear. Instead of stabbing out, he suddenly smashed it down. The black iron stick made an air-explosion sound in the air, and it was carrying a red silk thread and bombarding towards him. Guan Yu didn't even mean to block it, but just tilted his head to avoid the attack from hitting his head. At the same time, he swung the sword with his right hand, using the first sword of the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, with an attack power +500%.

A green light rose from the blade of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and the red light collided with the green light!
Neither of them was willing to give in, and at the last moment, Xiahou Dun put away his gun and laid it across his body, blocking the sword that seemed to have the power to split the sky and the earth.

Xiahou Dun just felt like he was hit by a yak, no, a group of yaks. The unparalleled impact force made his breathing stagnate.

The warhorse was thrown backwards by the horrific impact. Thanks to Xiahou Dun's superb horsemanship, he was able to calm the frightened warhorse.

Feeling the slight numbness in his arm, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't blocked the knife attack, it would have definitely taken his life. Even if his spear hit Guan Yu, it would not be fatal unless it hit his head.

So in the end, Xiahou Dun withdrew his attack and switched to blocking.

Guan Yu wanted to get rid of one of them quickly, even if he got injured it was worth it. After all, even if he was entangled by Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu, he might not be able to break free from the two in a short time. As long as Cao Cao continued to send troops to attack, it was only a matter of time before Taiyuan County was lost. So Guan Yu wanted to exchange his injury for his life and get rid of the possibility of being entangled by the two so that he could rush into the battlefield and win the morale of the army.

However, Xiahou Dun was no ordinary man. He saw what Guan Yu was thinking and raised his spear to block at the critical moment, not giving Guan Yu any chance. Otherwise, Xu Chu alone would have found it difficult to stop Guan Yu from killing ordinary soldiers.

Xu Chu saw that Xiahou Dun was no match for him, so he rode forward and slashed with his wind-piercing sword, forcing Guan Yu, who wanted to continue charging forward, to retreat. Xu Chu officially joined the battle, and Guan Yu stood on his horse with his sword drawn, looking arrogant, and without saying anything, he took the initiative to kill the two men.

"Master Guan is so cool! It has to be Master Guan. In the afternoon, I fought two, Dian Wei and Xu Chu. In the evening, I fought two again, Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun. Master Guan's sword really doesn't kill unknown people. After all, there is no such thing as an unknown person who can fight Master Guan for a few moves."

"I feel like we may not be able to take down Taiyuan County tonight. Liu Caoxie will arrive the next morning. By then, the advantage will be on Liu Caoxie, not Cao Zhonger."

"Taiyuan County is not too important to Liu Caoxie and Cao Zhonger. The most important thing is Guan Yu who guards Taiyuan County. For Liu Caoxie, Guan Yu is not only a subordinate, but also a brother and a relative. For Cao Zhonger, only by capturing Guan Yu alive or killing him can he continue to gain a foothold in Bingzhou. Otherwise, giving Guan Yu a chance to regroup means that Cao Zhonger will always have a sword hanging over his head. A suspicious and insecure person like Cao Zhonger will never allow such a thing to happen."

"If Cao Zhonger can capture Guan Yu alive, everything will be different. Not only can he use Guan Yu as a threat to force Liu Caoxie to withdraw from Bingzhou and return several territories in Jizhou, but he can also keep Guan Yu under pressure as a hostage. If he keeps Guan Yu in his hands, Liu Caoxie will definitely be cautious and will slowly plot his strategy. Then he won't have to form an alliance with Sun Menghu and can still contend with Liu Caoxie."

"Haha, you think too much. Do you think Guan Erye would accept being threatened and ask his elder brother Liu Caoxie for territory and people? If Guan Erye knew, he would probably commit suicide immediately and would not give Cao Zhonger the opportunity to use him."

"Indeed, a loyal and courageous person like Second Master would not accept to live in this way, and would certainly not accept to exchange Big Brother's things for his own life."

"That's not right. Why are we discussing Guan Erye being captured alive? Don't you see that Guan Erye is fighting two people at once and not losing the upper hand?"

"This Xiahou Dun is not bad either. He has lasted more than ten rounds under my sword. Together with Xu Chu, he can fight against me on equal terms. Great, now you two have become famous."

"The Qinglong school swordsmen are really fierce. They chop down Cao Zhonger's soldiers just like chopping melons and vegetables. I feel like these school swordsmen can be used as military generals if they are pulled out."

"The Qinglong swordmen are the Second Master's personal soldiers after all, so it's normal for them to be a little fierce. How come those soldiers holding broadswords are also so fierce? It's no problem for them to fight one against three. I feel that Cao Zhonger has to think about how to escape from Taiyuan County, let alone conquer Taiyuan County. Liu Caoxie entered Bingzhou during the day and will be in Taiyuan soon. Cao Zhonger will have a hard time with you by then. If you are caught by Liu Caoxie, you will be in big trouble."

While netizens in the live broadcast room were discussing the battle situation heatedly, they saw nearly 10,000 cavalrymen rushing out from where Cao's army was camping and settling accounts not far away, and rushing towards the Taiyuan county city. The infantry under Cao Zhonger's command had already begun to retreat at this moment to make room for their own cavalry to charge to avoid being accidentally injured.

Guan Yu saw this and risked being hit on the shoulder by Xiahou Dun's spear while slashing with his sword. The sharp sword energy left a deep groove on the ground. Xiahou Dun was also wounded in the chest by the sword energy. Xu Chu, who was standing next to him, was not feeling well either, as his right leg was affected by the sword energy and was bleeding profusely.

Xiahou Dun's shot made Guan Yu's throat feel sweet. He tried hard to suppress it and not spit out a mouthful of blood. Red Hare carried Guan Yu back to the front of the battle.

The losses of the Qinglong School's swordmen were not great, with only less than a hundred people lost. In comparison, the losses of the soldiers in the Big Sword Camp were much greater. Of the original three thousand soldiers, only more than two thousand five hundred were left, a total of more than four thousand five hundred people. They had to face the charge of ten thousand cavalrymen, plus the subsequent charge of tens of thousands of infantrymen. The pressure can be imagined.

Guan Yu rode his horse and paced in front of the soldiers, looked around at everyone present, and then turned to face the enemy.

"Draw your sword! Fight with your shield!"
