People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 556 Fear
"Zhou Yu is quite capable. I didn't expect that he could still inspire the morale of the soldiers today. The enemy's attack is more powerful than I imagined."

Without even putting down the telescope, Xu Chen expressed his views on the war on the front line.

Although he said so, in fact, there was no worry on his face, because although the offensive of the Wu and Shu armies was quite good, it was only quite good and was far from being able to make the Yellow Turbans struggle.

After all, occupying the geographical advantage of the camp can infinitely narrow the gap in military strength between the two sides. The Yellow Turbans, who are already highly powerful, can easily fight against the enemy in this situation.

Ju Shou, who was also observing the situation, laughed when he heard this: "Zhou Yu is indeed a unique hero, but he is powerless in the face of absolute strength. Speaking of heroes, no one in the world can be considered a hero more than you. It is not surprising that Zhou Yu was defeated here today."

Xu Chen then turned his head and looked at Ju Shou. He found that as Xuan Xia's cause got closer to success, Ju Shou seemed to like flattering him more and more.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chen felt that it was not just Ju Su who had the same problem. Wang Dang, Lu Ping and others also had the same problem.

To be honest, no one doesn't like to be praised, even Xu Chen is no exception, but he always remains sober and will not be confused by such vanity.

What puzzled him was that no matter Ju Shou, Wang Dang or Lu Ping, they were not the kind of people who would flatter others. Logically, they should not be so fawning, but he didn't know why they turned out like this.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chen still couldn't figure it out. He could only shake his head and put his eyes back into the telescope, refocusing his attention on the battlefield. He only said in his heart that he would give these guys a good beating later and not let this kind of trend become popular.

In fact, if Ju Shou knew Xu Chen’s doubts at this time, he would definitely cry out in injustice.

After all, Xu Chen was too confused to realize the extent of his current prestige. The faster Xuan Xia succeeded, the more divinity he would naturally be given in the eyes of others as a leader who pioneered this great cause. Even people like Ju Su, Wang Dang and Lu Ping would inevitably look up to him unconsciously.

Anyone who is not a fool can understand what a great cause Xuan Xia is currently achieving. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Confucius were called over, he would have to bow to Xu Chen. After all, Xu Chen not only proposed the theoretical idea of ​​liberating all the people in the world, but also successfully put it into practice. It goes without saying who is more worthy of the title of saint.

Even if they are not the ones who like flattery, they will naturally flatter Xu Chen when they are around him, because all their flattery is not flattery, but an unintentional expression of their true feelings, which can't even be expressed by flattery.

In other words, Xu Chen himself does not have a correct self-awareness, which is why he feels that there is something wrong with the people around him.

He couldn't take off this divinity even if he wanted to. Moreover, as time goes by and Xuan Xia's achievements grow greater, this divinity will also grow stronger. People all over the world will uncontrollably regard him as a saint radiating golden light.

Of course, Xu Chen couldn’t think so much at this time. He could only see the brutal fighting on the fierce battle line in front of him.

Two teams of elite soldiers led by two fierce generals, Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, attacked everywhere in the camp. They would attack wherever there were too many enemy troops gathered, constantly reaping the lives of the enemy, just like an efficient and precise killing machine running tirelessly.

Although the Wu and Shu soldiers tried to fight back, they were at a huge disadvantage in terms of position when attacking from a low position. Although they fought hard during the charge, they were completely unable to fight back.

Today, they finally had the chance to witness the strength of the Yellow Turbans when they were in a defensive position. The pressure almost suffocated them.

The Yellow Turbans in the field were terrifying enough, and now the Yellow Turbans fighting in the camp were even more terrifying. The soldiers of Wu and Shu were only attacking with the last bit of desire in their hearts, but no one knew how long this courage could last. When the soldiers of Wu and Shu rushed to the real gate of the Yellow Turban camp, they were also waiting for the fully armed swordsmen and shieldmen inside the camp.

At this time, as long as they can break through the Yellow Turban defense line, they can break into the camp and disrupt the Yellow Turban formation, and perhaps create an opportunity for this battle.

However, the heavily armored Yellow Turbans in front of them formed a long steel wall, which made the Wu and Shu soldiers who had rushed here with great effort feel despair.

Before the fight even started, they already had a feeling that this was definitely not a defense they could break through!

Even so, they had no room for retreat, and at this moment they had no choice but to charge forward.

In this way, they crashed into the Yellow Turban defense line half in despair and half in the hope of getting lucky.

At this time, the two sides really came into close combat, but the feeling of the Wu and Shu soldiers fighting against the heavily armored Yellow Turbans was almost as powerless and desperate as an egg hitting a stone.

They swung their weapons with all their might, but even if they could hit the Yellow Turbans, they would ultimately not be able to penetrate their armor. And at this point, if they missed, it would basically mean their own death.

Flowers of blood bloomed at the camp gate. The Yellow Turban heavy armored soldiers not only had solid defense, but were also very lethal when counterattacking. The Wu and Shu soldiers, who lacked armor, could only be described as fragile in front of them.

With the coordinated attack of the halberds and crossbows behind them, wave after wave of enemies continued to fall in front of them.

Although the Yellow Turbans also suffered casualties, the casualties on both sides were obviously not at the same level. As the battle became more intense, the battlefield no longer looked like a battle between the two sides, but a one-sided massacre, and the Wu and Shu armies were sending themselves to be killed.

Even so, the Wu and Shu armies showed no sign of slowing down or stopping their attacks. Zhou Yu in the rear seemed determined to fight to the end. No one knew whether he was crazy or wanted to compete with the Yellow Turbans and consume them to death.

However, Zhou Yu can treat soldiers as consumables to strive for that one in ten thousand miracle, but the soldiers themselves are all flesh and blood.

It's not that they don't have fear, but they were blinded by Zhou Yu's tempting promises and ignored this fear.

If the war situation was still going well, perhaps they could maintain a fairly good momentum and continue fighting.

But now what the soldiers saw was only their comrades rushing forward to die one after another. Everything seemed so hopeless, and fighting desperately became increasingly meaningless.

Then, they recalled the fear of being dominated by the Yellow Turbans. The morale aroused by promises of victory or defeat was ultimately not lasting and stable enough. Once they got into trouble, the fear of death would overwhelm everything.

Their morale is on the verge of collapse.
