Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 595
Outside the city of Handan, seeing Yuan Shao's refusal to fight, Ma Chao met Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong to discuss countermeasures.

Huang Zhong?Zhang Liao?
Thinking back to Lu Bu's comments back then, Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao eagerly, but he restrained him. After the endless battle, Ma Chao was asked to be silent for many days by Chen Gong. He could only listen but not speak. What's the matter? , can only tell Chen Gong when no one is around.

It was also the suppression during this period that made Ma Chao restrained a lot, and he no longer did things as recklessly as before.

However, in the eyes of Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, who met Ma Chao for the first time, his eyes still deserved a beating.

Huang Zhong noticed that Ma Chao's qi was locked, and raised his gray eyebrows: This young man is crazy!

Zhang Liao suddenly had the urge to hit him.

"Do the two generals have a plan to break the city?" Ma Chao was inexplicably depressed when he saw that the two looked at him and said nothing. He tried his best to look at them with a kind smile on his face.

Break the city?

Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao silently looked at the strong youthful aura at the top of Handan City. Although Yuan Shao lacked troops and major generals, there were quite a few Confucians and the hearts of the people were not disturbed. People and horses, want to break the city... unless Yuan Shao's brain is pumped and he runs out to fight them one-on-one.

"My lord's army will arrive in three days at most, and then try to break through the city. Now that I am waiting here, I should block Yuan Shaomo and let him escape." Huang Zhong explained their mission to Ma Chao with a smile.

The purpose of their coming here first was to prevent Yuan Shao from leaving. Chu Nan wanted to end the war in Handan. As for breaking the city, from the beginning, Chu Nan did not expect to be able to break the place where Yuan Shao's talents gathered, let alone Handan. It is difficult to deal with Yuan Shao's counselors' supernatural powers alone.

Ma Chao opened his mouth, and really wanted to ask if the lord would stop hitting him if he didn't come?Could it be that without the lord, this city cannot be broken?

But in the end, I suppressed this impulse, thought for a while and said: "I heard from Marquis Wen that General Huang is one of the few people in the world who can compete with him. Why don't you try to see if you can break it?"

"Meng Qi is also a family of generals. Whether a city can be broken quickly, you should know it when you see it. How can you ask me?" Huang Zhong heard the provocative meaning in the other party's words, and looked at Ma Chao with a frown .

Perhaps because he has been with Chu Nan for a long time, Huang Zhong has gradually become accustomed to judging which method will have a higher success rate and the risk before doing something, and whether Handan in front of him can be breached quickly. Xia already had a judgment, so what he and Zhang Liao did at the beginning was to prevent Yuan Shao from breaking through, rather than trying to break through the city.

Unless Yuan Shao and the advisers around Yuan Shao collectively become fools, it is basically impossible to take this city before the arrival of Chu Nan's army.

Most generals should have this kind of judgment.

Ma Chao wanted to say something, but Zhang Liao laughed and said, "I heard that in the battle of Juyongguan that day, Meng Qi broke through the city wall of more than ten feet and broke into the city."

Although it is not convenient for the Chu, South, and North armies to get news from Sichuan, it has been a long time since the Battle of Juyongguan, so this side naturally knows about it.

"Young people are awesome." Huang Zhong nodded suddenly. Normal people would not be able to think of such a way to break through, but Ma Chao did it directly. I have to say that sometimes being reckless is not necessarily a bad thing. This kind of dangerous pass, Huang Zhong thought about it carefully, he was in a different place, and he probably wouldn't think about how to detour, sneak attack, or how to climb the city wall, instead of digging the city wall.

Of course, it's not that there is anything wrong with Ma Chao's strategy, it's just that the vast majority of experienced generals would not use this method.

But as far as the result is concerned, it may not be as fast as Ma Chao's breakthrough for any of them. The seemingly stupidest method is the shortest and most effective one.

From this point, we can also get a general idea of ​​Ma Chao's character, and it's not surprising that he seemed to break through Handan as soon as he came.

Ma Chao: "..."

I always feel that these two people are speaking in a weird way, but they can't refute it. What they said is the truth, and they still praise it.

"Later, I will try the formation." Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Huang Zhong knew that he was aggrieved, so he stopped teasing him. He looked at Handan City and said, "How about you two sweeping the formation for me?"

"Okay." Zhang Liao nodded and looked at Ma Chao.

When Ma Chao saw him, he straightened his chest, nodded and said, "The last general also wants to see what the general is capable of."

"Go and take precautions first, don't let Yuan Shao break out at night." Huang Zhong nodded, and signaled the three to split up, dig the trap, and then set up the camp. This time, we will also look at the defense of the other side. How to use the green energy, which method of consumption is better, and at the same time suppress the arrogance of young man Ma Chao.

The three separated, and after setting up the camp, Huang Zhong took his three thousand archers to line up outside his camp at dusk.

"General, when are you going to leave?" Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong with a little excitement. He wanted to see what kind of ability Huang Zhong was capable of making Lu Bu feel threatened.

"It's just a trial formation, let's stay here." Huang Zhong said with a smile.

"Here? What do you mean?" Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong puzzled. It was seven or eight miles away from Handan.

Huang Zhong didn't explain, and with a wave of his hand, the three thousand archers automatically lined up. Ma Chao's eyes were fixed, did the opponent want to shoot arrows at Handan here?

But generally even if it is an arrow array, shooting five or six miles is the limit. Can the arrow pass through this distance?Even if he managed to shoot past, what power is there?

The old man wants to show off his skills and frighten himself?

Ma Chao frowned and looked at Huang Zhong, only to see that Huang Zhong had already waved the command flag, and the three thousand archers let go of their bowstrings almost at the same time.

"Om~"

There was a humming sound in the air, and the cluster of arrows tore through the air, and there was a faint light of fire. Immediately afterwards, under Ma Chao's surprised eyes, the three thousand arrows seemed to have transformed into more phantoms in the air, and there were obviously only three thousand arrows. Arrows, but shot out the momentum of a thousand arrows.

Boom boom boom~
Even though they were separated by seven or eight miles, Ma Chao could still feel the roar of the arrow cluster colliding with the green energy of the moat, and the ground trembled.

Where is the arrow here?The bed crossbow used for siege may not be powerful!

Ma Chao looked at this scene in a daze. It's not that he has never seen an arrow array, but even Lu Bu's arrow array is not so scary, is it?

If there is no green spirit to protect the city, Ma Chao can imagine that this section of the city wall may be ruined just by this wave of arrows.

If they fight on the battlefield, as long as Huang Zhong is given a stable environment, what kind of army can withstand the bombardment of this kind of arrow array?

Ma Chao thought about it carefully, even if he defended himself with all his strength, he might not be able to hold out a few times in the face of this level of arrow formation, right?

What's even more rogue is the opponent's super-long shooting distance. Even if he leads the cavalry to charge from such a long distance, it is enough for other troops around Huang Zhong to take precautions. As long as he is blocked, Huang Zhong's arrow array will fall coming.

To deal with this kind of arrow formation, one must not face it head-on. It is the best policy to use a small number of elite cavalry to walk around the formation, look for flaws, and then fight in close quarters.

"I've heard for a long time that the old general's archery skills are superb. Seeing him today will really open the eyes of the general." Ma Chao said to Huang Zhong convinced.

But the power of this arrow array is enough to make Huang Zhong run amok.

Ma Chao is like this, he is willing to give enough respect to those who are capable, Huang Zhonglu's move is enough to convince him, at least in terms of arrow array, Ma Chao thinks he is not Huang Zhong's opponent.

"The moat is full of green energy. It will take a lot of time to break through the city and minimize losses. Since we are here today, we will first dampen the enemy's morale!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.

"How do I get frustrated?" Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong with interest and said.

Huang Zhong took out his iron tire bow, looked at Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi is also an extraordinary warrior, maybe he can clearly see the soldiers on the city wall?"

Ma Chao nodded. Not to mention practicing the visualization method, the five senses and six senses have been greatly improved. Even before the visualization technique, he could still see the figure on the city clearly from this distance, but not as clearly as now.

"Just above the city gate, there is a Jizhou general, watch me shoot him in the head!" Huang Zhong said with a smile as he withdrew the arrow array.

"With the spirit of protecting the city, the arrows can't enter. How can the old general shoot?" Ma Chao believed that Huang Zhong could shoot the top of the city with one arrow. Generals of their level, not to mention the accuracy, but the arrows they shot were very powerful, but there were The moat is blocked by the green energy, and it is impossible to penetrate the green energy. The energy carried by the arrow will be blocked by the green energy, which will greatly reduce its power. Even if it is barely pierced, it will not hurt anyone.

Huang Zhong smiled and didn't answer. He opened his bow and set an arrow, and instantly pulled the iron tire bow to perfection. He stared fixedly at the general who was startled by the sudden array of arrows and was looking around.

"Om~"

The moment the bowstring was released, a wave of air rippled from the position where the arrow shot out. Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong strangely. At that moment just now, he didn't notice any strength of the army formation or Huang Zhong's own strength. fluctuation.

"Pfft~"

Then, under Ma Chao's astonished gaze, the arrow pierced through Qingqi. Qingqi seemed to have no defense against this arrow, allowing the opponent to penetrate, and then under the general's astonished gaze, pierced through the opponent head.

Until his death, the general didn't know what happened?
"The old general is good at archery!" Zhang Liao praised. He had cooperated with Huang Zhong not once or twice, and he was quite familiar with Huang Zhong.

"Can you see clearly?" Huang Zhong nodded and smiled, then turned to look at Ma Chao.

"The general just used his own strength and didn't use any external force?" Ma Chao looked at Huang Zhong in disbelief.

The protective green energy can eliminate external forces such as the opponent's army formation and stellar energy, but it will not block pure forces, such as falling dust. If a person throws a stone at it without any bonus, then the protective green energy will not It will block this thing, but this kind of attack based on personal strength is usually limited in power, and it can't even break through other people's battle formations. Huang Zhong's arrow broke Ma Chao's cognition, which is so powerful.

"The way of archery is not just relying on brute force." Huang Zhong retracted his bow and said with a smile, the goal has been achieved, there is no need to do anything else.

Ma Chao nodded silently. He understood this point. With the same strength, the power erupted by a person who is proficient in marksmanship and a person who is proficient in marksmanship is vastly different.

If we compete in the future, we will definitely compete in archery with this old man!
