Chapter five hundred and thirty first war, more serious
Daijun, Macheng.
"Second Young Master." When Yuan Xi arrived with his troops, Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng, who were guarding Ma City, hurriedly came to greet him.
Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng were originally high-ranking generals. When Gao-gan went to Jinyang, they were left to garrison Yanmen. Later, Gao-gan died in the battle in Jinyang. The Guanzhong army led by Chen Gong was so powerful that they defeated several cities in Yanmen.
The two tried to hold on several times, but were easily defeated by each other, and finally fled all the way to Macheng to help Yuan Xi defend here.
"You two don't need to be polite." Yuan Xi motioned for the two of them to stand up and frowned: "Why is the green energy of the city's defense so thin?"
When he came, he had already noticed that the green energy protecting the city of Ma City was thin. Having seen Lu Bu's methods, he did not think that this could stop Lu Bu and Chen Gong.
"Second Young Master, this northern territory is already desolate. There are few people in Macheng and even fewer Confucian scholars. We only found seven Confucian scholars, and they are not very strong. We can only maintain this situation after taking turns to transform day and night." Deng Sheng smiled bitterly.
road.
This green energy to protect the city will dissipate even if no one attacks, and the green energy to protect the city is not only related to public opinion, but also closely related to the number of people in the city.
Macheng is located at the junction with Xianbei. It faces the southern invasion of Xianbei all year round. The population is not prosperous. In addition, the level of Confucianism is not high, so it is good to have some green energy to protect the city.
When Xin Pi was able to stop Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Chen Gong in Jinyang, firstly, there were many people in Jinyang, and secondly, he was not a weak Confucian himself. In addition, Jinyang was a big city and there were many Confucians, so he could maintain that
There is such a powerful green energy to protect the city, but Ma City obviously does not have such conditions.
"My lord." Yuan Xi's general Zhang Nan bowed and said: "The population in Macheng is thin, so I'm afraid we still need to rely on military formations to defend the city!"
Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "The general has also seen Lu Bu's ability. I'm afraid he is even stronger now. My father asked me to stay here for a month. Without the green energy to protect the city, it will be difficult to stop the opponent with the military formation alone. Let's give way first."
Come here, gentlemen, and gather the green energy to protect the city."
Yuan Xi came here this time and brought several famous people from Youzhou. Their cultivation in Confucianism and Taoism was not much worse than first-rate. Calculated by Chen Gong's original sixth grade of Confucianism and Taoism, these people were all
At the peak of the fourth level, there is another person who should be considered to have entered the fifth level. With their help, they should be able to gather more green energy to protect the city.
January!?
Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng trembled for no reason when they heard this. Although Yuan Xi brought many soldiers and horses, it would be difficult to defend the city in front of Lu Bu for a month, right?
Didn't it say that the army will arrive in a few weeks?
The total population of Yima City is only a little over 10,000 people, and it does not have a large army. Even if the people want it, it will be difficult to form a city-protecting aura that even the top generals can't attack like Jinyang.
In front of Lu Bu, holding on for a month... is difficult!
Just as he was talking, he saw a Pegasus running back from outside the city. As he entered the city, he screamed: "Close the city gate quickly, the enemy is coming!"
On the city tower, the expressions of Yuan Xi and others changed when they heard Tan Ma's call. Yuan Xi quickly shouted: "Close the city gate and prepare to defend the city. Gentlemen, please hurry up and gather the green energy to protect the city."
"Here!"
Everyone agreed, and the Confucian scholars went to help gather the green energy to protect the city, while the generals began to arrange the city defenses. Obviously, the green energy to protect the city alone in Ma City was not enough to completely block the enemy.
Small battle formations rose up on top of the city. Zhang Nan accompanied Yuan Xi, looking at the smoke-filled sky in the distance, and turned around and said: "My lord, the bandit army is coming fiercely, so we should go back to the city to take shelter first."
"No, I have seen Lu Bu take action. If I retreat now, what will the soldiers think of me? Although Lu Bu is strong, it is a delusion to make me hide in the city based on his momentum alone!" Yuan Xi waved his hand and said loudly.
Said: "General, don't worry about me, just go and defend yourself against the enemy!"
He can be regarded as knowing his shame and then being brave. In the two years since he came back from Xuanyuan Tomb, he has practiced the art of visualization hard and has the destiny of a state. Although he is not as refined as Chu Nan, as the leader of a state, the people's heart
Wherever he goes, he can practice much faster than ordinary people, and his current strength is far from what it was before. Yuan Xi even feels that if he had entered the Xuanyuan Secret Realm back then, with his current strength, Chu Nan would not have had the chance to shine.
While he was talking, the oncoming troops had already arrived outside Ma City. Seeing the green air above Ma City, Ma Chao raised his eyebrows. He hated seeing this thing now.
With the spear in his hand raised high, the running army slowly stopped following Ma Chao's movements, stopping five hundred steps away from Ma City.
This distance is actually within the range of the defenders.
Yuan Xi's eyes lit up when he saw this: "Fire the arrow!"
The other party is so arrogant, wouldn't it be a sign of weakness if you don't give the other party a blow?
Zhang Nan and others nodded, having the same idea. These people are too arrogant.
At that moment, the defenders at the top of the city fired thousands of arrows. The sharp arrows were extremely powerful under the support of the military formation, and they roared towards Ma Chao.
Ma Chao raised his head and looked at the rain of arrows coming through the air. He was not panicked at all, even a little disdainful, and said loudly: "Prepare the arrow array!"
His arrow formation is not his strong point, but it also depends on who he is competing with.
Compared with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, he is indeed a bit inferior, but with these people in front of him, Ma Chao feels that he can beat ten.
"Buzz~"
The arrow clusters that came through the air were blocked by the rising invisible air shield, and they bounced away one after another. When they landed, they had lost their power. However, as Ma Chao swung the spear in his hand, a rain of arrows rose from the sky above the military formation.
, if you look at it from the side, it is just an afterimage that disappears instantly, and when it reappears, it has already reached the top of the city.
On the top of Ma City, ripples appeared on the green air. Some were bounced away by the green air, while others directly penetrated the green air and shot towards the military formation at the top of the city.
"Puff puff puff~"
Even with the protection of the military formation, there were still many sharp arrows that penetrated the formation and shot directly at the soldiers defending the city. Not many people died, only a dozen or so, but the soldiers defending the city felt a little heavy in their hearts.
My own arrow array cannot break through other people's defenses. When someone else's arrow array shoots at me, my own side has the green energy to protect the city and the military array cannot completely seal it. The strength gap between the two sides is quite big!
"Xiliang Ma Chao is here. Among the rats in the city, does anyone dare to go out of the city to fight?" Ma Chao came to the front of the formation unhurriedly, took a deep breath, gathered the power of the battle formation, exhaled loudly and arrogantly
The sound instantly resounded throughout the city.
"Is it him?" Yuan Xi stood at the top of the city and looked at Ma Chao. He naturally remembered this person. He followed Lu Bu and charged into battle. He was a rare warrior. When he was in the secret realm, Yuan Xi also thought about winning over him, but
Ma Chao was quite rude at that time. He looked him up and down, didn't even say anything, just sneered and left.
To this day, Yuan Xi still can't forget Ma Chao's eyes full of disdain and contempt, which deeply hurt Yuan Xi's self-esteem.
Unexpectedly, he actually voted for Lu Bu now. No wonder Chen Gong was able to capture the entire Guanzhong so quickly and let the Xiliang Allied Forces be used by him. With the help of this person, it was not difficult.
"What's the matter? No one dares to fight?" Ma Chao waited for a long time, and when no one responded, he laughed arrogantly and said: "Is it because the people of Youzhou are ignorant? Or is it that Yuan Benchu is incompetent, and even his subordinates are all incompetent?
?If you are afraid of death, it is better to give up this city and save my general from wasting his hands and feet!"
"Lord?" Zhang Nan looked at Yuan Xi. Ma Chao was too arrogant. If he continued to push him like this, his morale might be affected.
Yuan Xi nodded, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Ma Chao, you are also behind the generals. You should know that the battlefield is not a place for bravery and ruthlessness, but a place for troops. Since you are here to attack, come and try to attack the city.
, instead of barking wildly here!"
"Who am I asking? It turns out to be Mr. Yuan?" Ma Chao spurred his horse, his falcon-like eyes fell on Yuan Xi's face like knives. After a moment, he laughed and said: "The Art of War? I am here to fight generals for you and others."
Opportunity, the soldiers are fighting together, the sword has no eyes. I don’t want many soldiers in this city to be tired of mediocre people like you and compete in the art of war? Haha, Mr. Yuan, now the two armies are fighting, it should be more serious. Don’t joke with me!
"
Yuan Xi's face instantly turned pale. This Ma Chao is really annoying, especially his mouth. I really want to tear him apart!
Seeing that there was no one to fight, Ma Chao handed over the general formation to his lieutenant, jumped out of the formation, left the military formation and came to the city. He looked up at the generals on the tower and said, "If I use the military formation to attack the city, I would be a bit of a bully."
, In this way, I, the general, am standing here alone. You can send your troops out of the city to fight. If you can defeat me, I, the general, will keep his word and turn around and leave. Do you dare to fight!?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xi looked at Ma Chao who had indeed left the battle formation, and felt a little moved. He turned to look at the generals and said, "Who will help me capture this thief!?"
"The general is willing to go!" Seeing Ma Chao alone, Deng Sheng felt a little moved and immediately saluted Yuan Xi.
"Thank you, General!" Yuan Xi nodded.
Deng Sheng immediately ordered five hundred soldiers, formed a military formation, opened the city gate, and prepared to go out to besiege Ma Chao.
However, at the moment when the city gate opened, Ma Chao slowly raised his spear. Just before the city gate opened and Deng Sheng had not yet led his army out of the city, Ma Chao suddenly slammed down the spear in his hand and shouted: "Kill!
"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed to the city gate like a thunderbolt. He carried a long spear in his hand. Deng Sheng had just arrived at the gate of the city. Before he left the city, he saw a flower in front of him.
Come, the Gang Qi directly tore the battle formation apart, and penetrated into Deng Sheng's chest under his stunned gaze. The violent energy exploded directly. Before Deng Sheng had time to speak, he was torn into several pieces by the violent energy, and the battle formation also
The smoke disappeared.
The army brought by Ma Chao from the rear had also launched a charge. The moment Ma Chao broke through the enemy's battle formation, he rushed into the city gate with Ma Chao.
On the city tower, Yuan Xi stared blankly at the enemy troops pouring into the city like a torrent, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
"Lord, leave quickly!" Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu and Xia Zhao saw the enemy troops charging into the city and knew that the city was no longer safe. Without saying a word, they retreated surrounded by Yuan Xi.
"A horse is better than an ordinary man, you are a shameless person!" Yuan Xi also reacted and cursed angrily.
But it was too late to say anything now. While Ma Chao entered the city to fight, Zhang Nan and others were afraid that Yuan Xi would be wrong, so they surrounded Yuan Xi and left directly from the other side of the city gate. However, this move also completely frightened Ma Chengshou.
