Chapter 35: The Battle of Mount Tai [I]

Liu Bei's unexpected obstruction of the army gave Yuan Shao more opportunities, and he showed sufficient leadership and decision-making ability when his own side was now at an absolute disadvantage.

After checking the surrounding situation and making sure that the Dingyuan Army's fortified wall Qingye had been implemented completely, he did not hesitate to let the army directly start to prepare and attack the city tomorrow.

He didn't intend to feint, and went straight to the decisive battle.

More than 40,000 capable soldiers were killed, nearly 30,000 were able to participate in the siege, and the rest were cavalry, led by Wen Chou himself to harass the people on the city wall and prevent Liu Bei's arrival.

If Liu Bei and they cross the river successfully, then Wen Chou will take these tens of thousands of cavalry to block the attack, as long as they can drag Liu Bei and drag it until Yuan Shao takes Tai'an, it will be a success.

Although Yuan Shao didn't know what else he could do after such success.

After Fu Zhu and Xu Yu were gone, he had no one to help him make a more far-reaching strategic layout, and no one gave him advice on how to reasonably avoid it and develop normally.

But he knew that the war, in that form from the time it began, was a sign that the war could not be ended without the complete fall of one side.

Now there is only one goal.

Yuan Shao raised his sword and pointed at the city wall of Tai'an.

Take that city!

"Whew!"

As Yuan Shao's sword swung out, the trumpeters behind him blew the horn of attack, and in this land, in addition to the sound of heavy footsteps and long horns, perhaps the sound of slight collision of iron weapons.

Yuan Jun has also done this.

Orders are forbidden.

Yuan Shao's eyes were only firm, and the sound of the horn led thousands of male soldiers behind him to stride forward, gradually approaching Tai'an City, compared with half a month ago, they seemed to have been reborn, and what can bring about this change in the short term, perhaps only Yuan Shao can do it in the world.

The entire army is now like a whole, commanded by Yuan Shao himself, as easily as his own arm? Freedom of movement.

This is also the first time in Yuan Shao's life that he has led such an army? This also brought him enough confidence to be able to touch Liu Bei.

Taishan is behind Yuan Shao? I don't know how many years? How many emperors would want to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen and become the ruler of this world? Become the man who stands on the top of the highest mountain, but who knows? Only after conquering the lands of the Great Han? They climbed Mount Tai, only then can they be regarded as truly qualified to seal Zen, and now with their backs to Mount Tai, for Yuan Shao, it can be regarded as fighting for their dreams.

The wind is slowly blowing across the walls of Tai'an? There was a hint of murder.

This pre-war atmosphere? It's always hard to resist.

For Xu Shu, watching Yuan Jun slowly move towards him from ten miles away on the city wall, step by step, and there were nearly half a battalion of people, it seems that Yuan Shao didn't plan to be polite at all? All he wants is to get straight into the heat.

This is not particularly in line with what they expected before, and now the more than 10,000 Dingyuan troops and 8,000 mixed militia in the city can withstand the strong offensive of the Yuan army?

Xu Shu didn't have much bottom in his heart.

He only hopes that his customized plan for the defense of Tai'an City can help.

The majesty of Mount Tai could not overshadow the astonishing momentum of the battlefield that was about to break out at this time.

Yuan Shao slowly waved the sword in his hand? If it weren't for the aura on his body, his movements would look a little mechanical and strange to others? And with the change of aura, his movements can be understood? Every swing of his sword? Are they all adding kicker to their army? The aura spread out from Yuan Shao's badge, spread to the sky, and then turned into stars and disappeared into the bodies of his soldiers.

In this way, the sword in his hand is more like a spellcaster.

Yuan Shao's military array increase is very limited, but the effect is not bad, especially since he himself is also under the influence of his natural skills, so the ability of his amplification skills has also improved.

"Generation Hero: When the skill user is the commander of a military formation with more than 10,000 people, he can choose two of the following five amplification effects to attach to the commander's military soldiers, and the two amplification effects can be replaced and adjusted to the rest of the effects in real time, but the original effects disappear, and the physical consumption of the military soldiers will be increased. Five types of increases: (1) Increases the physical strength and endurance of all soldiers in the formation for two hours; (2) Enhance the movement speed and reaction speed of all soldiers in the formation for two hours; (3) Enhance the surface defense capability of all non-commissioned officers in the military formation for two hours; (4) Enhance the mental power of all the soldiers in the military formation for two hours; (5) Maintain the morale of all the soldiers in the military formation for two hours. Cooldown: 180 hours. ”

And now, although I don't know how much the effect of Yuan Shao's skills has improved, at least it will not be weaker than this effect.

If an army of tens of thousands of people can have such a high-density strong individual, then the Yuan army can actually leave a heavy mark in history.

They are definitely much stronger than the normal part of the army of any force in the current Han Dynasty, even if it is the various special forces that Chen Chen emphasized the establishment before, the individual strength at this time may not be as strong as Yuan Shao's 40,000 soldiers.

This increase is almost like God has opened a hang for him.

Yuan Shao is indeed the darling of heaven and the pride of heaven.

He was born noble, the fourth and third dukes, a big family, but his identity is embarrassing, the identity of the eldest son of Shu has made him consciously improve himself since he was a child, and in fact, the Yuan family still attaches great importance to him, which makes him grow up all the way to belong to the excellent group.

After becoming an adult, he has a lot of political achievements, and the one who can compare his political achievements with him in the same period may be his friend Cao Mengde, and Yuan Shao has naturally become a leader in their age group, a leader, and a far-reaching reputation.

And then the Han Dynasty was in chaos, Yuan Shao took advantage of the wind to become a hero, and then borrowed Han Fu's Jizhou and became the lord of a state, if it weren't for Liu Bei and Chen Chen behind his back, the current Yuan Shao can indeed be called a generation of heroes.

It's a pity that it's his natural skill.

It can only be said that success is also talent, and defeat is also talent.

When Yuan Shao is strong, he will be held back by this natural ability, and when he is weak, he can rely on this natural ability to create miracles.

But now it is a digression to say anything, Yuan Jun has ruthlessly stepped on the stream in front of him, and this originally clear stream has become muddy after being trampled by tens of thousands of people.

It's just that when the army passed, the grass was in a mess, and after a while, the stream returned to its original clear appearance, flowing slowly, as if watching the Yuan army that rushed to Tai'an City without hesitation, it seemed to be a witness to history, and had seen the beginning and end of countless wars, which was just one of the countless wars it had seen.

The difference in momentum is too great.

Xu Shu looked at the Yuan army under the city that had begun to continue to advance under the city wall under the fire of his own crossbowmen, and found that they had changed a lot, when he attacked Le'an, Xu Shu went to the front line, just to investigate and verify the strength of the normal soldiers of the Yuan army, but even if he had calculated the strength of the Yuan army's soldiers, what he saw now was still different from what he expected.

Their strength is like being forcibly raised without any training, in other words, Xu Shu feels that these soldiers have been forcibly mentioned to a level of strength that they should not have, causing their movements to look a little twisted now, in fact, whether it is strength or strength in all aspects, they can show their strength.

What's even more terrifying is that they don't seem to know what fear is, even if the rain of arrows on Tai'an City keeps falling, they can still keep moving forward, in the team, there are soldiers who were injured by arrows, if they can continue to move, they will follow the team without saying a word, if they lose the ability to move, they are lucky to be thrown aside by the team, and they are unlucky...... Directly drowned in the crowd.

There was no sound in the whole team except for the sound of whining, and no cries of pain could be heard, as if they were emotionless war machines.

In this kind of scenario, Xu Shu may not be able to compare success, but some generals in his Dingyuan army who had fought with Liu Bei in the east and west noticed that something was wrong.

This general found Xu Shu.

"Sir, maybe you need to take shelter for a while, the city wall is not a safe place, and then they will soon be able to break through to the city wall to fight us, sir, please retreat to a safe place to watch and wait."

The general slowed down, and added his own evaluation of the army under the city that was preparing to attack his city.

"Sir may not have seen it, this team is very similar to the Yellow Turban Wrestlers in the Yellow Turban Army back then, but even Zhang Jiao back then was just thousands of Yellow Turban Wrestlers around him, and now Yuan Shao's team can make tens of thousands of people have such fighting will and strength, and our pressure to defend the city may be far greater than we predicted before. It may only depend on whether General Komeito can observe the situation in the city as soon as possible and attack in time to attract away the pressure. ”

This partial general has also followed Liu Bei and Chen Chen to see a lot of people in the world, he is experienced and pays attention to his words.

Xu Shu naturally heard the voice of this partial general, even if Xu Huang killed Yuan Jun from behind at this time, he only attracted firepower, and he could not follow his previous thoughts to flank and annihilate Yuan Jun.

may really only be able to wait for Liu Bei's army to arrive before he can have the strength to fight a decisive battle.

Now, with the overall strength of the Dingyuan Army, even if there is the danger of Tai'an City Wall and Mount Tai, it cannot offset the difference in strength with Yuan's army.

This is what everyone didn't expect, before it was their own side that carried out a dimensionality reduction blow to the poor strength of the Yuan army, but now it has become the lead in the strength of the Yuan army.

Yuan Jun's strength has improved far more than imagined, even if it is the prediction given by Chen Chen, he has not judged that Yuan Jun's strength can be improved to this extent, Xu Shu knows that it is too late to adjust the strategy at this time, so he can only grit his teeth and defend the city.

"I'll wait for a handwritten letter, send someone to the bank of the Jishui River, find the lord, ask them to rush to help, we have underestimated Yuan Shao's strength in this battle."

Xu Shu gritted his teeth and left the city wall with his personal guards, even if his kung fu was not weak, but it was not a battlefield fighting technique, and staying on the city wall by himself would increase the trouble for the soldiers guarding the city.

And he remembered how the war began.

If there is a marksman on the opposite side who is similar to Zhao Zilong's archery skills, then he can almost be cool on the city wall.

The course of this war looks extremely strange.

Yuan Jun did not have any other sounds except for the whining of cheering and cheering, but the sound of the Dingyuan army and the militia on the city wall shouting and coordinating with each other was clearer.

The contrast between the city and the city did not last long.

Because the Yuan army, which was able to brave the rain of arrows without fear of casualties, actually broke through to the city wall in a very short time compared to other wars.

Each of them was like steel and iron, ignoring all kinds of means of defending the city on the city walls, gold juice, rolling logs, stones, and so on.

insisted on defending the city with high quality on the city wall, and began to prepare to build ladders and attack towers under the city wall.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dingyuan Army was under the training and leadership of Xu Huang, the quality was not low, and it would not be stage frightened on the battlefield, and there were also 500 villagers in the army who followed Liu Bei to exterminate the Yellow Turbans everywhere in the Han Dynasty, they still knew that when facing such a team, they couldn't be frightened.

No matter how strong their will is, they are still flesh, and they will still die.

Don't be afraid of monsters, just kill them.

Yuan's offensive has always maintained a strong and powerful state, as if they do not know what exhaustion is.

Yuan Shao had already led the generals to a distance of nearly a thousand steps from Tai'an City.

None of them spoke up, they were all waiting to take their teams into battle, and they all had the same goal at this time, which was also the effect of Yuan Shao's skills.

What he chose was to maintain high morale and improve defense, which was the main reason why Yuan Jun was able to show this state.

In the time when Yuan's army attacked Tai'an City, there was already a gap in the wall of Tai'an City, and as long as there was a gap, it could become a breakthrough.

Today's Yuan soldiers' strength is extremely strong, and an ordinary soldier who climbed the city wall with a sword and shield was able to resist the siege of three or five scattered Dingyuan troops and militias.

Fortunately, a member of the army will come out from the side, and cleanly and neatly solve a few Yuan soldiers who climbed the city wall with the help of his subordinates, so as to solve the first trouble that came up.

The problem is that if trouble can pop up the first one, it means that the second trouble is not far off.

And they have all realized the trickiness of these Yuan Jun, and they have all forced themselves to face these Yuan Jun in the most focused state.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the wall of Tai'an City suddenly trembled, which did not make the defenders on the city wall unstable, but it made the ladder on the city wall automatically overturn and reset the Yuan army's offensive for a while.

On the tower in the city, Xu Shu gently shook the feather fan in his hand, his eyes filled with blue light.
