Chapter 406 Reversal of the Celestial Phenomenon
However, after just the initial breakthrough, Cao Cao keenly sensed that something was wrong.
The army before us is a little too tenacious.
Although they easily broke in with the help of the elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the battlefield did not present the same effect of a hot knife cutting butter as Guan Yu's vanguard army, and there was some sluggishness.
Although the fighting capacity of these "new recruits" before him was indeed average, their resilience far exceeded his imagination.
Even when they were defeated, they launched wave after wave of counterattacks like waves.
Cao Cao felt as if he was trapped in a giant net. As his side charged forward, the net became tighter and tighter, and its force grew stronger and stronger.
How could this be?
Cao Cao's heart was filled with turmoil.
Facing such a strong enemy like Tian Ze, Cao Cao had already made sufficient preparations beforehand.
Of course, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan, and Guan Yu’s strong talent was indeed beyond their expectations.
But in fact, they had made mental preparations.
After all, they knew that Guan Yu would be very strong, they just didn't know how strong he would be.
They are unlikely to think too deeply about it, otherwise, there would be no need to fight the battle and they could just lie down.
Therefore, the previous battlefield was still within their expectations.
But now, a second accident occurred.
The "resilience" of these new recruits under Guan Yu.
All along, relying on sufficient material supply, full-time training, advanced training methods and sophisticated weapons and equipment, the soldiers of Tianze Army have always crushed them.
Cao Cao, who had fought against him many times, was well aware of this.
If it weren't for the bonus of talent, the gap between the soldiers on both sides would be immeasurable.
Because the bonus effect of talents on weak armies is much better than that on strong armies.
But even with his natural talent, Tian Zejun can easily fight two enemies at once.
But there is a group of young and strong people in front of us!
Tian Ze has the conditions to train all the young and strong men into soldiers, but there is no need to quench thirst by drinking poison.
After all, the land still needs to be cultivated and the water network still needs to be dug. It is impossible to stagnate development because of the war.
Therefore, even though the training that the young and strong men received was relatively rigorous and sufficient to become combat soldiers, the time was still a little short.
Cao Cao once sent people to spy on the situation.
Although the overall quality of these young and strong men is slightly better than the average level of the soldiers under his command, considering that they have never seen blood, the difference between the two sides should be not much.
After calculation, it was found that troops of this strength, without the bonus of a strong commander's talent, should have limited combat effectiveness.
However, the current situation is clearly not the case.
"These new recruits have at least one layer of talent bonus." Cao Cao, who was in charge of the central army, said in a deep voice.
Although he was quite panicked in his heart, Cao Cao remained calm on the surface.
Mao Jie felt it for a moment and nodded, "Indeed. And Guan Yu's talent should still exist, otherwise, the momentum of his front army would not be so strong."
"How could this happen? Is there anyone else with the talent to be a monarch under Tian Chengze?" Cao Cao whispered.
"Impossible." Mao Jie shook his head.
"Tian Chengshou currently has no one who looks like a leader under his command. It is impossible for Lu Bu to be here, and his talent is not that high."
"The effect of this talent is more like..."
Mao Jie looked deeply in the direction of Guan Yu's army: "Cheng Yu's talent."
As important officials under Tian Ze, how could Mao Jie and others give up finding out about Cheng Yu?
Especially regarding Cheng Yu's talent, after learning about the changes in the combat power of Tian Ze's soldiers, they also vaguely guessed something.
Putting aside their individual qualities, the soldiers under Tian Ze's command seem to have about half a talent.
The source of this information is nothing more than Cheng Yu and Yu Jin, or perhaps both.
This is how Tianze became the strongest warrior in the world. But now it seems that they may have miscalculated again. Not only can the monarch's talent provide additional blessings, but the passive talent can also do so.
Cao Cao was also aware of the situation and reacted quickly, with a slightly bitter smile on his face.
"Tian Chengshou has so many outstanding people under his command!"
Now how to do?
Cao Cao was also very confused at this moment.
Everything seemed to have come to a dead end.
The enemy's attack could not be stopped, and the central army could not break through.
Where does the chance of victory lie?
They prepared for this battle for a long time, but now it seems like a joke.
If this continues, they will surely be defeated.
Despite this, Cao Cao still did not give up hope and continued to command his army to launch a desperate attack, waiting for a miracle that might happen.
Behind Cao Cao, Mao Jie sighed softly and looked towards the direction of Yuan Shao's central army.
Zhicai, will it eventually come to this?
In Yuan Shao's central army, Xi Zhicai looked out at the scene of Cao Cao and other three parties charging at him, feeling a little depressed.
really!
Their strength is still not enough.
In this situation, tactics and strategy are no longer a concern; the gap in pure combat power between the two sides is simply too huge.
After much difficulty, they found the weakness of Guan Yu's army, but there was not much time left.
Cao Cao and his men were fully capable of defeating the young and strong men in Guan Yu's army, but they were unable to do so before Guan Yu defeated Yuan Shao's central army.
Gently stroking his heart with his right hand, Xi Zhicai looked towards the direction of Cao Cao with a dim gaze.
My lord, let Zhicai play this final game for you with his life!
Xi Zhicai, who was already on his last legs, had already made this preparation.
Beside Xi Zhicai, Xun Chen looked at him, as something was wrong with him from the very beginning, with pity in his eyes.
Xi Zhicai, who was born in Yingchuan, was once good friends with Xun Chen and others. He had a relatively good understanding of Xi Zhicai and knew that he had extraordinary abilities.
But if you go against the will of heaven, you will pay a heavy price.
Is this worth it?
Xun Chen couldn't help but mutter.
For an already slim hope, he sacrificed his life at the very beginning.
As Xi Zhicai activated his talent, a strong wind suddenly blew from south to north.
At the same time, although it was a hot summer day, the inky black clouds and mountains suddenly blocked the scorching sun.
Afterwards, heavy rain fell, accompanied by a large amount of hail falling from the sky, like arrows, densely packed, and almost only hitting Guan Yu's troops on the north side.
Yuan Shao looked at the celestial phenomenon in shock and couldn't help muttering, "Is even the heavens helping us?"
Then his eyes widened, and he drew the long sword at his waist, pointing it directly at Guan Yu's army charging from the north.
"God help me!"
"Soldiers! Follow me and kill!"
The flags fluttered and the south wind howled.
Hearing Yuan Shao's voice, all of Yuan's soldiers were unconsciously cheered up, looking at the miracle before them, all with fanatical expressions on their faces.
"God help me!"
"kill!"
They were originally in a defensive state, but they launched a counterattack.
All the soldiers rushed towards Guan Yu's army with great enthusiasm.
At this moment, they firmly believed that they would win!
