Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 319 General Rongling
"Military advisor...hey, it's a joke to the military advisor." Zhang Liao said helplessly.

At this time, Zhang Liao was shirtless in his room. They were all old comrades who beat Cao Cao to a pulp together and were beaten to a pulp by Cao Cao. Chen Gong didn't have any scruples and just opened the door and entered.

Indeed, as Shamoko said, Zhang Liao didn't even have a bandage to stop the bleeding at this time, and the wound on his shoulder had obviously scabbed over. Judging from the situation, it was not a muscle injury, otherwise it would not have healed in just a month.

"What's going on? You two... faced that Huang Zhong and actually lost in the battle?" Chen Gong couldn't believe it.

Others don't know the strength of Zhang Liao and Shamoko, how can Chen Gong know?

Samoko was originally a man of recklessness, and Zhang Liao seemed to be elegant and polite when he was commanding the troops, but once he got the upper hand, he was someone who dared to plunge into the enemy's formation!

Although they can't compare with the "Lord", they are both the best generals in the world, and now they are defeated by the same person?And he's a veteran with gray hair?

Previously, Chen Gong only knew that Huang Zhong's formation and command were quite methodical, and judging from his shooting skills, it was obvious that he was also a brave man when he was young.

However, Huang Zhong had not shown his strength in frontal combat before. Naturally, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao both thought that Huang Zhong was no longer at his peak physical strength, so he was unwilling to fight in close combat.

how...

"No, no, no, it was me and that general Huang Zhong, Wen Yuan fought for me... If we had fought together from the beginning, we should have been able to win." Shamoko muttered in defense.

And "we've been together from the beginning"?
At Hulao Pass, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were too embarrassed to fight together, okay?

"Could it be that...that Huang Zhong can be with the master..." Chen Gong's face also wrinkled.

"Impossible! If it was Fengxian, the military advisor would no longer be able to see Brother Sha and I. It should be..." Zhang Liao hurriedly retorted, but then paused.

"Should?" Chen Gong asked searchingly.

"It should be... the level before You Zilong took that step." Zhang Liao said speculatively after being silent for a while.

Zhao Yun before heading to Yiyang.

The peak of gold and jade?Half step of detachment?
Even Zhang Liao didn't know much about detachment, and Sha Moke had never heard of it. Before, he always thought that after being possessed by his totem, he would be the culmination of the world.

Chen Gong didn't understand this, but he had a vague feeling that Huang Zhong shouldn't have been so fierce before...

Could it be that there just happened to be a breakthrough?

Little did he know that Huang Zhong was not making a breakthrough, but had been silently letting off steam before.

But now Liu Pan has been pushed to Changsha. Huang Zhong, who was originally torn between loyalty and righteousness, finally found that "loyalty" was more important, so he used his true skills!
In the novel, when Huang Zhong was nearly sixty years old, he fought three battles with Guan Yu. The first time he fought with Guan Yu Bai Yuhe was a deadlock, the second time Guan Yu defeated Huang Zhong by dragging his sword with him, and the third time Huang Zhong also used the same trick to lure him, but he failed. To repay his kindness of not killing, I just shot off the red tassel on Guan Yu's helmet...

The only regret is that he became famous too late. When he followed Liu Bei, Huang Zhong was already in his sixties, but his style of leading troops was still "always in the vanguard". At the age of 70, he even killed Xia Houyuan in the Dingjun Mountain Formation, which was also true. It was this battle that enabled the Shu Han to seize control of Hanzhong.

Now Huang Zhong is only in his early fifties, and his strength is probably still higher than that of Guan Yu at the same time.

Huang Zhong from the Cheng Ji World is similar to Zhao Yun. He was also a martial arts master and later became a martial artist. He practices "Sun Shooting Technique" as a family tradition. He specializes in liver and gallbladder, which should be used to improve eyesight. His eyesight is also the basis for being a marksman...

If it weren't for the fact that in order to renew Huang Xu's life, Huang Zhong had to consume a lot of Qi every once in a while, causing his foundation to loosen, in fact, Huang Zhong would have had the opportunity to be promoted to the realm of transcendence through the "inflation" of today's generals.

"In addition to this man's bravery, how is Rongling's city defense and military strength?" Chen Gong asked after taking a few steps inside the house.

"Huang Zhong also has a 300-man divine bow team under his command. They are all Ji Zao's personal guards. Everyone holds a long bow and is good at shooting as well as ordinary generals. The number of defenders in Rongling should be [-] to [-]. Eighteen thousand, known as thirty thousand.

Moreover... Huang Zhong should have some kind of combat skill similar to Sun Bofu's, which can enhance the soldiers under his command, which can further stimulate the archery skills of the Divine Bow Team, as well as the range and power of the arrows in a short period of time. If the attack If you want to conquer the city, you must be careful of their condescending beheading or killing of other generals. "Zhang Liao said after thinking for a while.

Shamoko also rushed to say at this time: "There is also a young general, called 'Wen Chang', who is also very powerful... Wen Yuan came to save me before, but Huang Zhong robbed me a few times, and I had no time to withdraw from the battle circle. , I wanted to go up shoulder to shoulder, but was stopped by the young general... My arm was so shaken by Huang Zhong's heavy sword that I lost all strength, but it was not someone who could block it, but the young general obviously looked the same. Even though he is still in gold-plated battle armor, he has been at odds with me for more than thirty years."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao looked at Shamoko. Firstly, he wanted to remind him not to be so frank about bullying the more powerful generals next time, otherwise it would be embarrassing, in case Feng Xian hears this in the future. Maybe he would be asked to give advice. Secondly... Zhang Liao actually wanted to say that he doesn't look "about the same age" as you!
That "writer" looks very young, but you, Shamoke... If you didn't say anything, who would know that you are only 16 years old?

"One old and one young? That's interesting." Chen Gong muttered.

After Chen Gong returned to Yinshan, he personally took charge of the military affairs of Yinshan. Whether it was Jingnan's expeditionary force or Zhang Liao's trilogy, he was already very familiar with Chen Gong, and there was no question of whether to change the commander or not.

Regardless of whether it was effective or not, Chen Gong first submitted a letter of challenge to Roong Ling three days later.

In addition to daily slandering the opponent, denying the legitimacy of the Jingzhou Prefecture, and promoting the righteousness of his own offensive behavior, he also proposed "to reduce the tragedy of a wife losing her husband, parents losing their son, and children losing their father." I hope that Huang Zhong can surrender to the general's palace in compliance with the destiny, the people below and the people's support.

If he is unwilling to surrender, he also hopes that Huang Zhong can go out of the city to fight openly. If he can win, the general will retreat. If he cannot win, he also hopes that Huang Zhong will put the lives of his soldiers and the families behind them first.

However, Huang Zhong's response was not beyond Chen Gong's expectations - surrender?Fighting array?Don't even think about it!
In the letter, Huang Zhong emphasized that Jingzhou Mu was granted a title by the imperial court and was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. The general's attack on Jingzhou had greatly lost the support of the people and caused an uproar in the world. The whole Jingzhou government was united and would give the invading enemy a head-on blow. , I hope the General Mansion will rein in the situation...

After these nonsense, Huang Zhong said——If you want to avoid casualties, although I am too old to lift a knife, I am willing to fight the generals of the General's Mansion!

However, due to the previous battle situation, Chen Gong replied directly - bullying old people is not the general's style, we should attack the city directly...

While the letters were going back and forth, the five hundred "engineering soldiers" trained by the Ministry of Civil Affairs who had arrived with Chen Gong not long ago had already taken materials on site and built many ladders and rush vehicles.

The land of Wuling cannot transport catapults, but it has transported some raw materials that cannot be collected on site. As long as these engineers are given time, it will be sooner or later to "roll out" the catapults on the spot...
