Chapter 2605: Chi You fights against the heroes of Shu Han (Part 2)
Chi You took less than ten days to sweep through the four southern counties of Yizhou County.
The reason why they did not continue to march to the north was because Zhou Bo blocked the way north in Wei County, and Wei County is the seat of Yizhou County today.
Before Yizhou County was divided into three parts, the administrative seat was Dianchi County in the south, but this place had long been occupied by the Southern Kingdom.
Later, Yizhou County was split into three counties, but each had its own new administrative seat. The three cities of Kunming, Jianning, and Wei County became the core of the three counties. Dianchi Lake, the original administrative seat, became an ordinary county town attached to Kunming.
Wei County is not only the seat of Yizhou County, but also the city with the highest defense among the eight counties of Yizhou County. There are tens of thousands of Zhou Bo's troops in the city, and the loss of forcibly breaking the city will be too great.
The total strength of the Southern Army is only 150,000, and now it has lost more than 10,000. If too many troops are consumed in Wei County, even if the land of southern Shu is captured, it may be difficult to resist the Shu army's counterattack.
Kewei County blocked the way for the Nanguo Army to go north, and it was impossible to continue going north unless Wei County was conquered.
As long as Wei County is conquered, Yizhou County will basically belong to the Southern Kingdom. If Zhuti County and Nanguang County are captured, the Southern Army can cross southern Shu and attack central Shu.
This is a great undertaking that the Southern Kingdom has not completed for thousands of years.
But it is obviously not easy to achieve this goal.
Chi You has received the news that Liu Yu is heading south with an army of 200,000, and will arrive in southern Shu in at most one month, which also means that there is not much time left for him and the Southern Kingdom.
Once 200,000 Shu troops arrive, the total strength of Shu troops in southern Shu will also reach a terrifying 256,000 troops. The south will be strong and Shu will be weak, and the pattern of barbarian attacks on Shu's defenders will also be directly reversed.
Chi You could not stop Liu Yu's arrival, so he could only capture more cities and gain as many advantages as possible before he arrived.
However, as the war continued, the Shu army adapted to the intensity of the Nanguo Army's attack and showed unprecedented resilience, which also brought all three Nanguo armies into a stalemate.
Let’s not mention Chi You in the middle road for the moment, but Duan Siping in the west road fought all the way to the gate of Yongchang Zhibu Wei City, and also fell into a dilemma that was difficult to break the city.
However, Duan Siping was very smart and knew how to disintegrate the Shu army from within.
In addition to the Han people, there are also many foreign races in Yongchang County who are forced to surrender.
Liu Yu's policy of assimilation of foreign races was too eager and brutal, which caused dissatisfaction among the major foreign races within the territory. It was only because of the strong strength of the Shu Han that they did not dare to rebel.
But now that the Southern Kingdom's troops are approaching Wei's city, the hearts of all the foreign races have begun to rise.
After Duan Siping saw this situation, he immediately wooed the local foreign tribes such as Di, Sou, Lu, and Bo, promising huge profits, causing them to rebel against the Shu Han and defect to the Southern Kingdom.
Under the internal and external troubles, how could Huang Quan be able to hold on? If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might have been wiped out.
The rebellion of the foreign tribes in Yongchang caused Huang Quan to be defeated again. He had no choice but to withdraw from Yongchang County and retreat to Liangshan County.
Duan Siping chased Huang Quan all the way, which can be said to be a series of battles and victories. After completely capturing Yongchang County, he also invaded Liangshan County.
As local aliens continued to join Duan Siping's camp along the way, the number of troops under his command increased instead of decreasing, reaching a total of 40,000 troops.
Under this situation, Huang Quan, who was seriously short of troops, had to take the initiative to abandon some cities, shrink his troops, and retreat to Liangshan County.
Huang Quan fled in front, while Duan Siping chased behind him. They successively captured Qingye, Sanjiang, Huiwu and many other cities, and then fought all the way to Damu County before being blocked by Huang Quan again.
Dacheng is also known as Panzhihua in later generations, and the terrain here is extremely complex, with mountains, canyons, hills, and basins staggered, surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is dangerous. It is obviously a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Huang Quan is not a mediocre general. After suffering several losses from Duan Siping, he will naturally learn his lesson and take advantage of the terrain to wait for reinforcements.
Duan Siping continued his fierce attack for ten days, losing more than 3,000 troops, but still failed to break through Dacheng, so the Western Front also fell into a stalemate.
After talking about the Western Front, let’s talk about the Communist Army on the Eastern Front.
Gonggong failed to break through Qielan, which was guarded by Deng Qiang. Instead, he targeted the other counties in Xangqian County, and successfully captured many cities, but it was slower than Duan Siping, who had the help of local foreigners.
Too many.
Among the counties in southern Sichuan, Yongchang is not the only one with foreign ethnic groups. There are also many foreign ethnic groups in Zangqi County, and the most powerful one is the Dong ethnic group.
Zhu Rong, who stayed behind in Qielan City, saw that Duan Siping occupied Yongchang County in a short period of time by winning over the Yongchang tribes, so he started to think about wooing the Dong people.
Zhu Rong did what he said and sent envoys to lobby the five Dong tribes. However, the Dong tribe was already frightened by the Han people. In the end, only Ji Huo, the leader of the Red Dong tribe, and Tuo Azhe, the leader of the Black Dong tribe, led nearly 10,000 people.
Clan soldiers came to ally with the Southern Congress.
Zhu Rong is not disappointed, after all, it is better than nothing.
Gonggong successfully captured the remaining counties of Zanggao County except Qielan City. After Huijun and Zhurong reunited, they discovered that two tribes of Dong people had joined the Southern Army's camp. Naturally, they were overjoyed.
With the addition of the two Dong tribes, the total strength of the Nanguo East Route Army reached 36,000, and the Shu army in Lancheng was only 7,000, which was less than one-fifth of the Nanguo Army.
Our own force was more than five times that of the Shu army, so Gonggong was naturally confident and launched another fierce attack on Qielan City, but was quickly beaten in the face.
The defensive arrangements of Qielan City with Deng Qiang were flawless.
Gonggong continued to attack for half a month and lost nearly 5,000 troops, which was more than the previous losses combined.
But no matter how fiercely he attacked and what tactics he adopted, he still couldn't shake Qielan City. Instead, he hit his head and was bleeding.
Qielan City could not be attacked for a long time, which drove Gonggong crazy. But just when he was about to continue the attack, he was stopped by Chi You.
The reason why Chi You stopped Gonggongde's offensive was naturally not because he didn't want Qielan City, but because Liu Yu was about to arrive, and the gains and losses of one city and one pool were no longer that important.
Instead of fighting hard against Qielan City, it is better to reserve our troops for a decisive battle with Liu Yu.
Chi You ordered the eastern and western armies to allocate 10,000 troops each to support the middle route, and then launched a general attack on Wei County and personally participated in the siege.
Zhou Bo held on to Wei County for half a month. Just as reinforcements were about to arrive, he finally failed to hold on and was attacked by Chi You.
Zhou Bo left five thousand dead men to cut off the rear, and then led Guan, Zhang, Shi and other generals to lead the defeated army to break through and evacuate the last city of Wang Yizhou County, Mumi County.
Chi You personally led the army to pursue him, but he encountered the Shu army who came to rescue him, and the leader was none other than Xing Tian, the most powerful general of the Shu Han Dynasty.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. The soldiers and generals roared and fought fiercely, and the battle between the generals was even more fierce.
"Chi You, suffer death."
Xing Tian swung his giant ax and roared angrily. The aura around his body flowed violently, and his body and weapons were not glowing, just like the ancient god of war.
[Ding dong, Xing Tian’s skills ‘Qian Qi’ and ‘Witch God’ are activated one after another, with force +8+6;
Xingtian’s basic strength is 110 (+1), Fire Punishing Tiangang Axe, Witch God Earth Demon Shield +1, Neighing Wind Roaring Moon Horse +1, the current strength has increased to 126;]
Chi You clenched the Tiger Soul Sword with both hands and roared in response: "Only you? You're not qualified enough."
[Ding dong, Chi You’s skill ‘Demon God’ is activated.
Demon God: Chi You has unique super-god-level skills, which are advanced from the skill 'God of Swords' and the skill 'Demon Lord'.
Effect 1, after this skill is triggered, the force is +7, and the weapon skill of the god-level general is suppressed by 2 points, the king level is 3 points, the general level is 4 points, and the general with no weapon skill is -5 points."
Effect 2: The stronger the fighting spirit, the stronger the fighting power. Each time the force is activated, the force is +5. This skill can be activated up to 3 times.
Effect 3: When encountering a siege by multiple people and one of the opponents activates a combo skill, the amplification effect of the opponent's combo skill can be invalidated.
Effect 4, it will not be copied or sealed by the opponent's skills; (Note: It is not valid for special 'demon' skills.)]
All super magical skills so far, including Xiang Yu's 'God of War' and Li Cunxiao's 'God of Heaven', have an effect of increasing one's force by 6 points.
But Chi You's 'Demon God' broke this rule. Effect 1 increased the force by 7 points, which is enough to illustrate the extraordinary skill of 'Demon God'.
The total increase of 'Demon God' reached 22 points, surpassing Li Cunxiao's 'God of Heaven''s 21 points, and equaling Xiang Yu's 'God of War''s 22 points.
Effect 3 of the 'Demon God' directly seals the increase in combo skills, which means that relying on combo skills to make a weak enemy stronger is simply not feasible here in Chi You. Only absolute strength can compete with him.
The five tiger generals can defeat Xiang Yu together, but if they face Chi You, it may not be so smooth.
In addition, the 'Demon God' also gave Chi You the property of not being copied and sealed by enemies.
All in all, just by looking at the 'Demon God', we can see that Chi You, like Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, are powerful in all directions and have no weaknesses.
[Ding dong, Chi You’s skill ‘Demon’ has effects 1 and 2 activated in succession, force +7 + 5;
Chi You's basic strength is 110 (+2), Tiger Soul Sword +1, Xiaoyue Black Dragon Horse +1, Soldier Master +2, and the current strength has increased to 126;】
bite……
After the sword and ax collided, a wave of air instantly set off, centering on the two people, and all the soldiers within a ten-meter radius were blown away.
This was just the beginning. The two men fought next, and the movement was so loud that it could be called a fight between gods.
Every time the weapons collide, the roaring sound can deafen people's eardrums. No one dares to come close within a radius of 150 meters between the two of them.
On the battlefield where tens of thousands of troops are fighting, there is a large open space in the middle. It is like a forbidden area and no one dares to approach it. This is a unique battle scene for the top warriors.
Xing Tian and Chi You fought many times, and although they often ended in draws in the early stages, overall, Xing Tian still won more times than Chi You.
But in the constant battles, Chi You's potential was tapped and his strength became stronger and stronger.
Although Xing Tian's strength was also getting stronger, his progress was not as fast as Chi You's, so the number of defeats gradually increased.
Now, three years later, when the two met again, Xing Tian was full of confidence.
Because in the past three years, he has broken through his own bottleneck and reached the level of a half-step grand master. His base martial arts has reached 110 points. This is a major breakthrough for a general, so he is absolutely sure that he can defeat him.
Chiyou.
But when he fought Chi You again, Xing Tian found that he was too wrong. He had tried his best to overestimate Chi You, but in the end he still underestimated him. Chi You also completed a great leap in strength and broke through to the realm of a half-step grand master.
.
[Ding dong, Xingtian’s skill ‘Witch God’ effects 2 are activated one after another, the force is +3+3+3, the current force is increased to 135;]
[Ding dong, Chi You’s skill ‘Demon’ effect 2 is activated one after another, the force is +5+5, the current force is increased to 136;]
Xing Tian and Chi You fought for fifty rounds. Although there was no winner, he could clearly feel that Chi You still had reservations, but he had already used his full strength.
"How could you improve so quickly?"
Xing Tian roared with disbelief, and his heart was filled with confusion. After all, his talent was rare in the world. Even if Chi You's talent was better than him, he shouldn't have progressed so much faster than him.
Chi You sneered: "It's because your progress is too slow."
After saying this, Chi You no longer had any reservations, and his aura instantly surged.
[Ding dong, Chi You’s skill ‘Tiger Soul’ effect 1 is activated, the force is +5, and the current force is increased to 141;]
"Xingtian, you were indeed stronger than me once, but now I have surpassed you, and those who are surpassed by me are destined to only look at my back from afar."
With that said, Chi You clenched the Tiger Soul Saber with both hands and struck out with all his strength. With a full 6 points of force gap, he instantly suppressed Xing Tian and sent him and his horse flying straight away. He almost couldn't even hold the weapon.
"snort……"
Xing Tian groaned, obviously having suffered internal injuries, and quickly used his kung fu to dispel the paralysis in his arms, but as soon as he recovered, Chi You's attacks followed.

Chi You's skills are currently all-destroying one demon. The specific effects of the other two skills will be revealed later.
