Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 565

Ten miles outside of Nanzheng City, Ma Chao and Sun Ce were standing nearly ten feet apart, neither looking in distress, but slightly panting.

Just now, Ma Chao wanted to forcefully reverse the tidal force and cause a large wave of output to Sun Ce, but Sun Ce... directly detonated the tidal force, "strangling" both of them hard!
This wave of "blood exchange" Sun Ce feels that he will make a profit without losing money...

And at this moment, the sound of collapse came from the direction of Nanzheng City battlefield in the distance.

Sun Ce and Ma Chao were both in a powerful state, and it was difficult to see any changes in their expressions, but they obviously noticed the sounds of the Nanzheng battlefield, and at the same time... as if they had received a signal, they took action again at the same time!

……

At this time in Nanzheng, Zhou Yu didn't have Sun Ce by his side, and he didn't dare to use "Shuluo Supervisor" easily. After all, it would be easy for his side to take advantage of this buff.

It's just an ordinary command of the artillery battery to demolish the wall, which is very Chu's siege routine...

However, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Dai who were guarding the city were already full of question marks at this time - it was different from what they thought from the beginning!
Before Ma Chao left, he handed over the responsibility of defending the city to these two younger brothers and a cousin. As for Ma Chao's more trustworthy confidant and good friend Pang De, he was attacking Xicheng at this time and had not been transferred back.

Originally, Sanma thought that even if the Qiang people were not good at defending the city, they could still hold on to a stalemate. After all, even if half of them went to quell the chaos in the city, the number of Qiang people would still be greater than the enemy troops rushing to attack in a hurry.

Although a city wall without the support of the people is dangerous, the danger they can encounter is that a city wall without the support of the people can be demolished by the hands of transcendent gods!

Even if five people are guarding it, General Jin Yu can dismantle it with his hands, but there are defenders on the city wall and Ji Zao soldiers suppressing it, so there is no need to worry, but the divine general will not be suppressed - as Ma Chao's younger brother, of course they know These.

So Ma Chao and Sun Ce's duel was not only a whim, but also a tactical necessity...

However, now that the only divine general in the Mingming army has been led away, he is still able to use that terrifying "stone-shooting cart" to destroy the city wall in less than two moments. For the three horses, It's a bit over the top.

Fortunately, the reaction was not slow. When the city wall was full of cracks and shaking slightly, most of the defenders had already been ordered to get down the wall, so not many were directly buried...

It’s just that now most of the city walls are in ruins. Although there are still some horse racing walls in the barbican for archers to shoot arrows to stop the enemy, after all, Nanzheng is not a military city, let alone a fortress, and the layout of the barbican is not impressive at all!
The Chu army rushed over directly from the ruins of the collapsed city wall.

"What are you afraid of? Get on my war horse! When will the Qiang warriors rely on the city wall?" Ma Xiu encouraged.

It is true that there were originally Qiang cavalry on war horses in Wengcheng. They were originally considering whether the Chu army could catch up and take advantage when they retreated.

Unexpectedly, now that the wall has fallen, we have to fight head-on...

There is no saying that the Qiang people have soldiers made by Ji. They are all real human warriors. However, when it comes to war horses, they are influenced by Cheng Ji and they are all real "war horses".

"Ha ha ha ha……"

While directing the Qiang people to charge, Ma Dai suddenly laughed.

"Brother Dai, why are you laughing?" Ma Tie was stunned by his smile.

"I laughed at Zhou Yu's claim to be proficient in the art of war, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that! Look at the infantry charging without a scattered formation. Thinking about it...he is also a useless scholar. He can only give advice to Sun Ce at ordinary times, and he doesn't know how to command soldiers at all. "You can't command the soldiers, can you?" Ma Dai deliberately said loudly.

When the Qiang people around heard this, they felt even more relieved.

It is true that the current Chu army's charge is almost indistinguishable from the formation. If you want to force it, it is a "sparse formation", basically a group of three people-that is, a real general, with two Ji Zao soldiers, Then command the other three Ji Zao soldiers to cover from the side.

At the same time, every three generals also cover each other, advancing with one commander as the core.

"Hahaha..." Ma Tie also laughed when he saw this.

"Old man, why are you laughing?" Ma Dai asked cooperatively.

"I laughed...look at them, they actually ran away and then fell down, thinking they could escape this way..."

biu, biu, biu——

Before Ma Tie could finish speaking, he heard a burst of gunfire on the battlefield. It seemed that the lying Chu soldiers had something making noise in their hands.

They were not afraid of the noise, but because of the shadow of the artillery, they had some shadows about the weapons that made the noise.

Facts have indeed proved that it is not as simple as a shadow...

Along with the "unusual noise", some of the charging cavalry fell to the ground "inexplicably". Fortunately, the Qiang people's horses were well-trained and experienced, and had a certain resistance to the "loud noise".

In addition, the gunshots were sparse, so there was no serious horse-shock.

The Chu army continued to approach Nanzheng in "three-three sparse formations". They mainly...used the ruins after the collapse of the city wall as a "natural" bunker, and prepared to retreat their own front to the collapsed outer city wall in one go. .

If it is on flat ground, it will still be difficult to fight against the charge of cavalry, as long as the opponent's horse is not frightened by the sound of gunfire.

However, the terrain after the city wall collapsed gave Zhou Yu an opportunity. The collapsed area served as the Chu army's front line and was quickly occupied.

Although the Xiliang army has Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai, all of whom are relatively strong in gilding, especially Ma Dai, who is close to the peak of gilding, and there are two other gilded generals who are relatively capable of fighting. Qiang warriors, but on the Chu army side, there were also veterans of Sun's old army such as Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, etc.

You have to deal with it even if you forcefully charge into the formation!

If Ma Chao were here, not to mention his personal bravery after entering Shenwei mode, in terms of tactical command, he would definitely attack with all his strength and strive to fight hand-to-hand at close quarters. However, Xiao San Ma... is obviously not decisive enough.

After seeing the casualties, he actually wanted to shoot him head-on?
Although the Qiang people are skilled in equestrian skills and are good at riding and shooting, they are still thinking blindly when fighting against an army of covered breech-loading guns.

……

Ten miles away, the traces of the battle between Ma Chao and Sun Ce were no smaller than the collapsed city wall. The battle stretched for several miles, with grass broken and trees broken, and there were many traces of rocks collapsing and the ground cracking!
Almost at the same time, the divine bodies of Sun Ce and Ma Chao turned into pieces of light, revealing their "true appearance" again.

Judging from the scene, Sun Ce is actually at a disadvantage. After all, his promotion was inherently tricky, and the characteristics of the two are that one is durable and the other is flexible. Naturally, the latter looks better on the scene, but... Ma Chao still can't. The victory was secured, and because Sun Ce still had some of his overlord power to digest, he was promoted two years earlier than Ma Chao. His level was insufficient, but his durability was good, and he persisted until he and Ma Chao were able to lift the "divine power".

"Little Overlord...that's all." Ma Chao felt that he had won.

"Is this the only way to comfort yourself after losing Nanzheng City?" Sun Ce did not feel like he had lost, and believed that Zhou Yu had already won.

In fact, the qualifications of Sun Ce and Ma Chao are almost the same. They are both top-notch in the world. Sun Ce is still a few years older, but... although he benefited from the Overlord's Relic Armor at the beginning, he is still dragged down by it now, and his detachment is not perfect.

According to Lu Bu's judgment, if Sun Ce can get rid of the "Overlord" completely, his strength will be improved by a small breakthrough.
