The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 437 Sorry, we can't do it——

Perhaps influenced by his family's martial arts blood, Sun Quan, who was not good at martial arts, actually accepted Zhang Zhao's invitation and went to the city wall to watch the battle when the enemy began to gather troops for the attack.

As the saying goes, when there are more than ten thousand people, there is no end. This was the feeling Sun Quan had when he stood on the city wall and glanced at Yang Ji's army. The flags were fluttering, the soldiers were wearing uniform armor, the clouds and energy flowed in unison between the various phalanxes, and the auras of the soldiers were connected together, condensing into a magnificent momentum, pressing towards the army defending Shouchun City.

In contrast, the defending army of Shouchun City clearly had more people than the opposite side and had the advantage of the city wall. However, even Zhang Zhao, who had temporarily unified the various forces in the city, could only command the defending army.

Look at the uniforms and formations on the opposite side, and then look at the army defending the city on your side. They also have flags flying, but the flags they are flying are the emblems of a certain family or something.

With the support of various forces in the city, the soldiers of the defending army also wore armor. Although it was not the iron armor of the opposite side, it was leather armor after all. It just highlighted the characteristics of each support a little too much.

Originally, the problem of inconsistent equipment was not a big problem, after all, everyone had been making do with it. However, after comparing with the opposite side, Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan and others instantly realized the significance of unified equipment. It was obvious at first glance that the opposite side was a powerful regular army, while theirs with messy equipment could only be a ragtag army with low combat effectiveness.

Although there were some capable fighters among the ragtag army, Zhang Zhao and others were very sure that the ragtag army on their side was not the kind of ragtag army with strong will.

Especially when they were overwhelmed by the magnificent momentum of the opposite side, their morale, which was already low due to the capture of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, became even lower.

Fortunately, they had the advantage of the city wall, and with Zhang Zhao unifying the various forces, they were able to maintain their morale and prevent it from falling to freezing point.

Whether they can get through this hurdle depends on whether they can defend the advantage of their city walls.

On Yang Ji's side, while Sun Quan and others were observing Yang Ji's army, Yang Ji and Zhuge Liang were also observing the people on the city wall.

"That kid over there should be the second son of the Sun family, right?" Zhuge Liang said, pointing at a figure on the city wall who was shorter than the others.

"I haven't heard of any important minister on the opposite side who is short in stature." Yang Ji glanced at Cao Cao and said, Sun Quan is only a little shorter than Cao Cao now.

If a few years passed, Sun Quan's height would definitely exceed Cao Cao. After all, Sun Quan's brother and father were both tall and strong men, and even his sister Sun Shangxiang had an amazing physique. There was no reason why Sun Quan would grow crooked.

Unless Sun Quan encountered a recessive trait like Cao Cao, which has a lower probability of occurrence.

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth secretly. If he really couldn't beat Yang Ji, he would definitely let Yang Ji know what Cao Mengde, who is both civil and military, is! Although this "Wu" is not martial arts.

"Why does this guy look so gloomy? He doesn't look like Sun Bofu at all. Are he and Sun Bofu brothers from the same mother?" Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled. Why did Sun Quan look nothing like Sun Ce?

It's not about his facial features, but his overall temperament. Compared to Sun Ce's cheerful and sunny appearance, Sun Quan seems a little gloomy and doesn't look like Sun Ce's younger brother at all. In comparison, Sun Shangxiang looks more like a younger brother.

"Who knows? Maybe he's living a bit depressed. After all, not everyone can accept having such a lively brother." Yang Ji said casually.

"Shouldn't this be the other way around?" Zhuge Liang was stunned. With a lively older brother at home, why would he feel that his life was rather depressing? Shouldn't he be living a more comfortable life?
"How would I know? Maybe this guy just likes to hide in a dark corner and draw circles by himself, but Sun Bofu's presence dragged him out of the corner and into the sun."

"If it were me, I would also be unhappy." Yang Ji said that the two brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan were incompatible by nature. If you put aside the facts, one of them is the sun and the other is the moon, and under normal circumstances, they cannot meet.

But the current situation is that these two people not only met, but also became brothers. It would be strange if Sun Quan's character did not change. After all, apart from the mythological factors, the moon's brilliance is formed by reflecting the sun's light.

"Is the relationship between these two brothers so awkward?" Zhuge Liang thought of himself and his brother Zhuge Jin. He felt that his brother was also very sunny and cheerful. Why didn't he affect him? Could he also be a sunny and cheerful boy?
However, Zhuge Liang felt that he was quite quiet. If possible, he would actually prefer to find a place to study quietly.

"I don't know about that. Maybe you can go and ask Sun Bofu if that's the case, and then come back and tell me." Yang Ji said to Zhuge Liang. If Zhuge Liang was willing to take the lead, it's not impossible for him to lend an ear to some gossip.

"No, this is someone else's family affair. Why should I, an outsider, meddle in it?" Zhuge Liang shook his head suddenly. It was not in line with Zhuge Liang's inner morality to pry into other people's family affairs.

Yang Ji didn't care about Zhuge Liang's words, but that was for now. Later on, even if Zhuge Liang didn't want to know other people's family affairs, it would probably be impossible. After all, the spiritual talent that could activate all of his own talents was in Zhuge Liang.

……

After chatting about some other things, Yang Ji glanced at the defenders on the opposite side who had relaxed a lot, then looked up at the weather and said to Zhuge Liang: "The auspicious time has arrived, order the army to start attacking the city."

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, who were originally bleary-eyed due to the warm sun, instantly became alert and finally started to attack the city, otherwise he would have thought that Yang Ji came here today to show off his strength to the opposing defenders.

"Ten rounds of arrow rain, ready - fire!" Yang Ji started with 400,000 arrows. If he hadn't left 20,000 men in the camp, this time the rain of arrows would have been 600,000.

Under the guidance of Yang Ji's Solidified Xuan Xiang, the rain of arrows that covered the sky poured down towards the defense line of Shouchun City. The light of the entire sky was blocked, and for a moment it was impossible to distinguish between day and night.

If there wasn't still light seeping in from all directions, the defenders of Shouchun City would definitely have someone use great magical powers to reverse the day and night.

The whistling rain of arrows awakened the sleepy soldiers guarding the city. When they looked up, they saw the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, which made some soldiers scream. These soldiers might be new recruits or veterans. After all, not everyone has seen this level of rain of arrows. "Set up a shield wall. Those without shields, find a place to hide. If there is really no place to hide, just open the cloud defense!" Cheng Pu's voice screamed throughout the entire battle line, awakening the dumbfounded soldiers and officers.

Sun Quan stared blankly at the rain of arrows in the sky. What did a rain of arrows of this scale represent? Although he had not been exposed to military affairs before, because of his family background and the influence of his father and brothers, he still knew what this concept meant.

Four hundred thousand arrows were shot out within ten seconds. It was unknown how many of these four hundred thousand arrows were included in the city defense supplies prepared by Zhang Zhao and his men.

Zhang Zhao opened his mental barrier with a livid face and covered Sun Quan as well. The others who could open their mental barriers also opened their mental barriers and superimposed them with Zhang Zhao's mental barrier to protect as many people as possible.

Unfortunately, arrows have almost no effect on people with mental barriers, but it would be a bit difficult to protect other people.

Under the attack of 400,000 arrows, the entire defense line of Shouchun City was only made up of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang, who launched a counterattack while defending against the rain of arrows.

After all, these three men and their troops have fought with Sun Jian for so many years, so they are very familiar with weapons such as bows and arrows. As long as they are not explosive arrows like the ones in Changshui Camp, it is relatively easy to avoid them.

Unfortunately, the rain of arrows launched by the three men to counterattack was of no use to Yang Ji's army. At most, a few unlucky guys were hit by an arrow.

"Kill!" Taking advantage of the opportunity when the enemy's front line was disrupted by the rain of arrows, Cao Ren and Le Jin led their troops to attack the city.

After the rain of arrows ended, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang took over the command of the entire day's battle line. It was not for any other reason, but because the commander just selected by each family was nailed to the wall by an arrow. No one knew which family's unlucky guy he was. He was originally pushed forward to gain some qualifications or something, but ended up being nailed to the wall by a stray arrow.

On the other side, Yang Ji put away the longbow in his hand. Yes, it was Yang Ji who nailed the commander of the defense line in front to the wall with a stray arrow. He hated such conceited guys who thought that all the arrows in the sky could not hit him.

Although nailing this man to the wall would force the enemy to change commanders and cause our troops' siege to face more tenacious resistance, it was not important because the enemy's defensive line was already very tenacious. Do you really think that Zhang Zhao and his group would hand over their life and death to a pretentious idiot?
Don't pin your future on the stupidity of others!
While Generals Cao Ren and Le Jin were leading their troops to attack the city head-on to attract the enemy's attention, Yang Ji also began to take action.

"Do you remember the key node I told you about yesterday?" Yang Ji pointed out the position mentioned yesterday on the projection sand table again.

"Of course I remember. We are waiting for your demonstration." Cheng Yu said very enthusiastically. He was very interested in military affairs. If he didn't feel that his martial arts skills were not enough to protect himself in the battle, he would have wanted to sit in the row with the generals.

Cao Cao was also waiting for Yang Ji's demonstration with great interest. He spent most of the night studying it after returning home yesterday, but he couldn't find the key node that Yang Ji mentioned. This time he had to take a closer look.

Zhuge Liang stood quietly by and watched Yang Ji's operations. Although he had good talent, his experience was not enough compared to those who had been through many battles in front of him. This was his first time on the battlefield.

Although his approach is an all-around approach centered on domestic affairs, it does not mean that the military is unimportant. The strength of the military is the ballast stone for domestic stability.

After Yang Ji pointed out the key node yesterday, Zhuge Liang also thought carefully about why Yang Ji thought that after destroying that node, the enemy's entire front line would explode.

But, just like Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, two experienced people, he couldn't find any ideas and couldn't figure out what Yang Ji saw at this node that made him think that this node was the weak point of the enemy's front line.

Seeing these people looking as if they were watching your performance, Yang Ji knew that they still hadn't found the key to this node.

"You guys, haven't you discovered that this is the key node for the flow of enemy's energy?" Yang Ji said unhappily. He thought that these people would be able to figure out why he regarded this place as the key node after they returned.

As a result, these people only think about the battle line nodes, and have never considered the factors of the cloud nodes. What is this? Inconsiderateness or a blind spot in thinking?

But, aren’t clouds also an important part of military operations? Why do they often forget this key factor?

Moreover, these people more or less know something about the Xuanxiang Formation and should be familiar with the flow of cloud energy. However, Yang Ji feels that these people still have only a vague understanding of the flow of cloud energy.

Could it be that his work of popularizing military knowledge had failed? Yang Ji could not help but frown and wonder.

Seeing that Yang Ji looked as if he had not taught them well, Zhuge Liang and his companions wanted to tell him that it was not the problem with the popular science books on military knowledge he compiled, but that they were unable to capture the trajectory of the enemy's cloud flow.

It is easy to capture the flow of our own clouds, after all, they are also part of the flow of clouds. But the clouds of the enemy are different. Do you know what the enemy clouds are? Both sides are enemies, so how can it be so easy for you to capture my flow trajectory?

"Even if you can't directly see the trajectory of the enemy's cloud flow, you can also judge it through the positions of the enemy soldiers. It's not like there is only one way." Yang Ji sighed and said. He seemed to be full of historical stereotypes about these people and felt that they could keep up with his thinking.

Zhuge Liang and his companions just watched in silence, trying to capture the trajectory of the enemy's cloud flow. It was not impossible for them to do it. Of course, the prerequisite was that the enemy's cloud became turbulent, exposing the flow of the cloud.

However, just like Yang Ji, they directly saw the flow trajectory of the enemy's cloud before the clouds of both sides interacted with each other - sorry, they can't do this.
