Chapter 113: A series of battles
Mark was indeed very angry, when he sent troops south, he had the intention of encircling and annihilating Liu Beiping in Youbeiping. After all, what kind of person Liu Bei is, Mark knows very well in his heart.
Of course, Mark also knew that it was not easy, after all, Liu Bei's ability to run away was too strong.
"Liu Bei ran away, Liu Yu can't run anymore."
Three days later, under the leadership of Mark, the Anping army broke Jicheng and captured Liu Yu. Liu Yu was captured, and the entire territory of Youzhou was owned by Mark. Since then, Mark has become one of the top princes in the world.
Mark took Youzhou, and on the one hand, he used strong means to collect the faith of two million people in Youzhou, and on the other hand, he expanded his army again. Everything he is doing now is to plunder the faith, so Mark can ignore the opposition of the big families in the territory and use forceful means to promote the Supreme God Cult.
Two months later, Mark's army doubled, and these soldiers were all trained by him with magic potions, and although the training time was short, they were already elite. At this time, Zhao Yun returned from the northern expedition and brought back more than 100,000 war horses, and Mark used this to establish 50,000 cavalry.
At the time of the autumn harvest, Mark personally commanded an army of 150,000 to the south, including 50,000 cavalry led by Zhao Yun. Yuan Shao also took Jizhou civil and military forces to fight, and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were also among them. The two sides fought at the boundary bridge, although Yuan Shao's strength was the same as Mark's, but his combat effectiveness was not good, even if he was led by fierce generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, he was still not the opponent of the Youzhou army. In half a month of fighting, Jizhou lost 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao also retreated in embarrassment under the persuasion of his subordinates.
Just as Mark was fighting with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao also accelerated the pace of expansion. He sent a large army to easily take Yanzhou into his pocket, and then when he attacked Xuzhou, Xuzhou assassin Shi Taoqian was suddenly killed, and the Xuzhou family surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's soldiers took Xuzhou without blood.
"It's getting weird." Mark looked at Cao Cao's recent situation and thought to himself, the current Cao Cao is like the protagonist of the Mandate of Heaven, and he can do everything like God's help. He fought Yanzhou, Yanzhou Liu Dai immediately surrendered, hit Xuzhou, Xuzhou Tao Qian died suddenly. With Xuzhou as a springboard, Cao Cao will be able to go north to Qingzhou and south to Yangzhou, if these two states are taken by him, the Central Plains will be all owned by Cao Cao.
"Still have to speed up!" After clearing the southern part of Youzhou, Mark continued to march south, and confronted Yuan Shao again in Changshan.
"Zilong, Changshan is your hometown, and this battle will be handed over to you." On the front line, Mark said to Zhao Yun, who was wearing silver-white armor.
Zhao Yun nodded slightly, it had been more than a year since he had been under Mark's command at this time. More than a year ago, Zhao Yun was just a young general with high martial arts, but after the battle in the grassland, Zhao Yun's commanding ability has been fully released, and now he is the top cavalry general in the world.
Mark's army didn't have to worry about food and grass, because Mark could give birth to wood giant fruits at any time, but Yuan Shao's army couldn't, so Yuan Shao didn't dare to delay time at all, and launched an attack not long after arriving.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led a cavalry to advance from the left and right, while Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gao Lan, and Zhang He fought head-on. In the frontal battlefield, there is another army that is very conspicuous, and that is Juyi's first deceased soldier.
"Kill!" Zhao Yun raised his silver spear and took the lead, and 50,000 cavalry swarmed out. After the cavalry, Pojun and others also began to charge. On a front of more than ten miles, nearly 300,000 people were entangled and killed, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
Mark and Yuan Shao stood on a high place to observe the battle situation, and as everyone expected before the war, the entire front was moving south. This means that the Youzhou Army is advancing, while the Jizhou Army is retreating.
"Huh!" Guan Yu brandished the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and the cold sword cut off the heads of five soldiers at once, but immediately the soldiers behind pounced again. The Qinglong Yanyue Knife moved again, and the Youzhou army around Guan Yu fell. However, he still couldn't stop the army in the rear!
Similar to Guan Yu's situation are Zhang Fei, Zhang He and others, before they met the Youzhou Army, they never thought that there was such a brave army in this world! With the passage of time, the advantages of the Youzhou army are getting bigger and bigger, and the Jizhou army is about to be unable to hold on!
"It's my turn!"
Mark suddenly joined the battle with his personal guards, and Yuan Shao was overjoyed.
"Quick, kill Mark!"
The fierce generals of the Jizhou army noticed that Mark had entered, and immediately tacitly got rid of their respective opponents and killed Mark. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were originally stopped by Zhao Yun, but when they saw Mark, Yan Liang gave Wen Chou a look, let Wen Chou drag Zhao Yun, and he himself killed Mark.
"Hugh away!" Zhao Yun's spear flew like a silver dragon, wanting to stop Yan Liang. Yan Liang slashed with a big knife, and the sound of a tiger roaring came from the knife. At the same time, Wen Chou's iron spear also stabbed at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun withdrew the spear and fought with him.
"Drive!" Yan Liang saw Mark a few hundred meters away, and slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse suddenly galloped out.
"As long as you kill him, the whole north will be the lord's!"
Mark pointed at his magic wand, and the arm-thick ice arrow covered the surrounding area of twenty meters, and all the Jizhou troops in this area were shot into a sieve. His guards are responsible for cleaning up those that slip through the net while protecting Mark. However, in terms of killing efficiency, Mark is much higher than them.
During the killing, Mark had already seen Yan Liang coming quickly. There was a tiger-shaped qi behind Yan Liang, and every time he approached Mark, a tiger roar came.
"The knife is divided into yin and yang!"
In the blink of an eye, Yan Liang arrived dozens of meters in front of Mark, he suddenly raised the big knife high, and with the help of the horse, his knife slashed down, and more than a foot of the knife roared towards Mark.
"Among the five elements of magic, the strongest defense is still water magic."
Mark's heart moved, and a huge shield made of water stood in front of him. The shield is more than three meters high, similar to a sword. With a "snort", the sword slashed to the shield, and the entire sword was instantly wrapped in the water that formed the shield, and it was impossible to advance forward.
Yan Liang was unwilling, and slashed out again, this knife split the water shield in two, but immediately, the water shield returned to its original state.
"How can a warrior compare to a mage in terms of combat methods?"
Mark smiled coldly, and a large net of thunder and lightning and flames shrouded Yan Liang. Yan Liang felt the energy on the big net, and his brows furrowed. When the big net fell, Yan Liang slashed out with a lightning sword. The long black knife easily slashed through the fire net, but the fire net did not change in the slightest. The fire net fell like this, binding Yan Liang tightly.
"Damn the Dao Law!" Yan Liang roared and was burned to death by thunder and fire.
When the Jizhou army saw this, they were even more frightened!
"Lord, hurry up!" The judge pulled Yuan Shaodao.
