Chapter 405: Mutual Attack on the Central Army
Guan Yu and his generals rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger into a flock of sheep. Wherever they went, the allied soldiers fell one after another. His sword skills were sharp, and each of his swords carried a thousand pounds of force, which made people tremble with fear.
Gao Lan, who was standing in the front, was not in a hurry to organize a counterattack, but steadily directed the troops to hold their ground.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Qi activated his talent and began to gather the fleeing soldiers in the surrounding areas, slowly gathering them behind the central army to form new lines of defense.
Zhu Ling's talent for bluffing made it impossible for Guan Yu's army to realize how many soldiers the coalition forces had. They only felt that there were many soldiers everywhere, which weakened Guan Yu's talent to a certain extent.
Cao Xiu used his talents to appease his soldiers, dissipate the pressure brought by Guan Yu's army, and relieve Gao Lan's pressure from both sides.
The four of them did their best and finally slowed down the offensive of Guan Yu's army.
Similarly, Yuan Shao had already started fighting desperately at this time, constantly strengthening the will of his soldiers, to the point that his face turned a little pale.
At this time, the unconscious Sun Ce also woke up.
He stood up slowly, feeling his slightly weak body, the image of the knife still in Sun Ce's mind, an excited smile unconsciously revealed at the corner of his mouth.
"What a great Guan Yu!"
The martial arts, which had been somewhat stagnant, seemed to have broken through some kind of limitations again at this moment.
With a quick glance across the battlefield, Sun Ce's keen battlefield sense allowed him to immediately understand the current situation.
Looking at Cao Cao who was about to mount his horse and lead his troops, Sun Ce smiled and said, "Brother Meng De, let's go together!"
Cao Cao was slightly stunned when he saw Sun Ce, who was alive and kicking again.
"Bofu, are you injured?"
"No problem." Sun Ce dusted off his body and picked up the Overlord Spear from the hand of his personal guard beside him, his eyes full of fierceness.
"Now that we have no way out, this little injury is nothing."
Cao Cao looked at the little tyrant of Jiangdong and nodded gently: "In that case, you attack the left wing and I will attack the right wing."
At this time, there is no time to care about anything else, every minute and every second is crucial.
After saying this, Sun Ce led the army under the protection of Xu Chu, and commanded the three generals Cao Chun, Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan to attack the left wing of Guan Yu's army.
Upon seeing this, Sun Ce did not hesitate and directly changed his horse, jumped on it, and rushed towards the right wing of Guan Yu's army with Zhu Zhi and Dongxi.
The black horse had been killed by Guan Yu's sword.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou led most of Yuan Shao's cavalry to bypass and rush towards the rear of Guan Yu's army.
The three groups of princes had great tacit understanding and each of them had already chosen his opponent.
This is the most suitable offensive method for them.
They do not interfere with each other and can act freely to the greatest extent possible.
Cheng Yu, who was in charge of the central army, looked at the situation on the battlefield with a frown.
"Yuan Benchu is really decisive."
Cheng Yu knew that Guan Yu's strength was in attacking. If the coalition forces just defended, they would definitely not be able to hold on.
The only way is to attack instead of defend.
But he didn't expect that Yuan Shao and others would react so quickly and decisively.
You have to know that he has more than 400,000 soldiers around him, their formation is neat and without any damage, yet the enemy dares to rush at him directly.
The coalition's actions left Guan Yu with two choices.
One is to cancel his talent that covers the entire army. In this way, it will be better for Cheng Yu to control these new recruits, but Guan Yu's offensive power will definitely be greatly reduced.
The other is to ignore it and continue to strengthen the attack.
"Are you sure that we have one less talent than you?" Cheng Yu muttered to himself. Without Tian Ze, his soldiers would lose a passive monarch talent.
In comparison, the coalition forces blessed with Yuan Shao's talents are indeed superior.
but……
"It's not just the monarch's talent that can be combined with the coach's talent!"
As Cheng Yu finished speaking, his talent was instantly activated.
For the sake of the overall situation, Cheng Yu's tenacious talent has changed from active stimulation to passive improvement, so that he can better train his soldiers and enhance the overall combat effectiveness of his soldiers.
But this does not mean that Cheng Yu has lost the active stimulation effect of his talent.
On the contrary, by doing so, Cheng Yu's talent has undergone a strange change effect, which makes it compatible and parallel with the coach's talent, and they do not conflict or weaken each other.
To some extent, this can also be considered a kind of "pseudo" monarchical talent.
As for the mysterious power of talent, Cheng Yu and others have yet to fully understand its essence.
Just for the sake of convenience, they are subdivided according to their functions. In addition to internal affairs and combat talents, there are also two special talents: monarch talents and passive talents.
Compared with the first two, the latter two are rarer and more precious.
Because the first two cannot be stacked without loss, even if you can add up to three talent effects to the soldiers, the effects of the three talents will be greatly weakened.
If the talents are not complementary to each other, such a superposition is not worthwhile at all.
Just like Guan Yu, at this time he only added his own talents to the soldiers under his command.
Because Guan Yu's talent is the most suitable for him, and no other talent can bring a greater bonus to him.
The monarch talent and passive talent seem to be another system that exists and operates independently, which can be superimposed on the former without affecting the effect.
Although there can only be one of these two talents, it is much scarcer than the former.
Currently, Tian Ze is the only one with the talent of a monarch, of course, excluding Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu.
Only Cheng Yu, Yu Jin and Zhang Niu have passive talents.
Zhang Niu's talent-stimulating effect is of no benefit in combat, so the only ones who can replace Tian Ze are Cheng Yu and Yu Jin.
Yu Jin and Xu Rong stayed in the rear all year round to ensure that everything was safe, so Cheng Yu became the only candidate.
This is also the reason why Guan Yu was confident in leaving the rear to Cheng Yu.
It is easier for a general to command his soldiers if his talents cover them, but Cheng Yu can do this in another way.
Just when the three groups of princes were about to attack the wings and rear of Guan Yu's army, they felt that the enemy in front of them seemed to have changed its temperament in an instant.
From the original imposing and domineering appearance, he became more calm and resolute.
Guan Yu's talent has now been developed to a certain extent, and he can mobilize his power over a wide area.
Therefore, he had previously concentrated the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front army.
The soldiers on the two wings and in the rear did not receive any bonus in combat power, but their morale increased slightly.
However, as Cheng Yu actively activated his talents, the soldiers' endurance, willpower, and especially their resistance when facing difficult and desperate situations suddenly increased significantly.
As clever as Cao Cao was, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with this army, but once the arrow had been shot, there was no turning back. At this point, he had no choice but to go all the way and kill the enemy.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Overlord Cavalry, and the cavalry under Yan Liang and Wen Chou acted as the spearheads. The three armies fiercely charged into Guan Yu's army and headed straight for the central army.
