Under Cao Cao's orders, the Cao army led by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang all charged into the stronghold.
Xu Chu took the lead and charged into the stronghold. Seeing the silhouettes of soldiers in front of him, he shouted and slashed with his blade.
With one slash, three 'Yuan soldiers' were chopped into six pieces!
The power was shocking, but Xu Chu was puzzled.
Why was the feeling of chopping people different from before?
Taking a closer look, what he chopped down were not bodies of flesh and blood, but three straw men covered in armor!
Xu Chu looked back again. Wow.
The silhouettes of the Yuan army soldiers were all motionless. They were all straw men! The straw men at the back were even worse. They did not even have armor on their bodies.
Xu Chu smelled the smell of kerosene. It was slightly pungent.
He suddenly came to his senses and shouted a phrase that countless generals had shouted before. In the future, countless generals would shout it again.
"We fell into a trap!"
Gongs and drums rang out from all directions.
On the Anyang city wall, torches were raised and lit up the battlefield.
Rows of archers stood up from the city wall. The red flag was spread out and fire arrows were shot toward the west stronghold.
The west stronghold was made of wood. The straw men were soaked in kerosene and there was even gunpowder buried under the ground. The moment the fire arrows were fired, the stronghold was set on fire. The west stronghold was instantly burned into a sea of fire.
Cao Cao's mood instantly fell from heaven to hell. He immediately ordered the army to retreat.
Shouts sounded out from all directions. From the east and west, a group of Yuan soldiers charged over.
The gates of Anyang City opened and Bai Xiaowen led an army out. His voice spread across the battlefield with the help of his mental power, "The enemy has fallen into a trap. We will definitely win this battle! Generals, fight bravely. Do not let Traitor Cao escape! "
The moment the fire started, Bai Xiaowen received a notification.
"Your plan: Burning the main camp succeeded. Cao army morale decreased by 20 points (average)."
"Your plan: Ambush succeeded. Cao army morale decreased by 10 points (average)."
"A portion of Cao army morale decreased to negative values. Cao Army has fallen into a state of chaos. All stats reduced by 20%! "
Bai Xiaowen had seen this kind of 'chaotic state' when he first encountered the Yellow Turban Army. The specific manifestation of this was that all of his attributes had plummeted, and his fighting spirit was low.
Other than the decrease in the morale of Cao Cao's army, there was also a notification that the morale of Yuan's army had increased. However, the increase in morale was not high and did not form an army buff. However, the increase in morale would bring about an increase in attack speed and accuracy.
However, the Cao army was truly more elite than the Yuan army.
In such a disadvantageous situation, Cao Cao's generals like Li Dian, Yu Jin, and Yue Jin were still able to use their own personal soldiers as the cornerstone to command the various troops to form a solid defensive line to block the east, west, and north, protecting Cao Cao's safety.
After the three Yuan Army elite troops charged out, although they gave Cao Cao a lot of pressure, they did not cause Cao Cao to be completely defeated.
Both sides were fighting at the side of the sea of fire! Shouts shook the heavens. Every second, a large number of soldiers fell to the ground and died.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were truly worthy of being called Lord rank generals. They had only been in the fire for a short period of time, and they were not as deep as Xu Chu. Hence, they charged out of the fire. Due to the deaths and injuries of their soldiers, they had lost 50% of their men. However, their personal soldiers were still there.
Zhang Liao looked around and saw that the Yuan Army was surrounding Cao Cao. The situation was dangerous, so he said to Xu Huang, "I'll lead the troops to save the lord."
Xu Huang nodded in agreement.
Zhang Liao rode his horse forward. Suddenly, an army charged over and hollered, "Zhang Liao, don't run! Do you know Hejian Zhang? "
Zhang Liao groaned in his heart. He could only turn his horse around to face Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's ten thousand elite troops had already formed an 'Arrow Formation'. Under the effect of Zhang Liao's Lord rank skill, their attack strength increased by 20% and movement speed increased by 10%. Furthermore, with the morale buff, Zhang Liao's injured troops could not block the charge at all.
Zhang Liao could only rely on his martial arts to fight Zhang Liao in the chaos. He did not know what passive skill he had used, but he was immune to the 20% attribute reduction of the [Chaotic State]. However, the encirclement of the Yuan Army soldiers gave him a headache.
Luckily, Zhang Liao's [Dense Cloud Spear Technique] focused on defense and not offense. Hence, Zhang Liao was still able to deal with it.
On the other side, Xu Huang wanted to save Cao Cao, but another army charged out.
This army was all light cavalry, and their speed was extremely fast. The valiant general at the front opened his eyes wide and roared, "Xu Huang, don't run! Eat my, Han Meng's, spear! "
Bai Xiaowen knew how to make good use of people. He let Han Meng lead the light cavalry to charge in the chaos. This was the best way to bring out his special skill, [Fierce Sharpness].
Han Meng had a stomach full of resentment towards Xu Huang.
During the Battle of Guandu, he was sent by Yuan Shao to transport grain. However, he was defeated by Xu Huang and his fellow general, Shi Huan, and the grain was burned. After returning to the camp, he was almost killed by Yuan Shao.
Now that Bai Xiaowen had arranged for the light cavalry to launch a surprise attack, he was able to use his specialty. With the template of a rare leader rank, he was able to faintly gain the upper hand against the Lord-ranked general, Xu Huang.
In the Three Kingdoms, rare leader rank generals were not rare. For example, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Ji Ling, Gao Shun, etc. Compared to Lord-ranked generals, they had obvious weaknesses. However, when fighting against Lord-ranked generals, they were able to fight against Lord-ranked generals for dozens of rounds without showing any signs of defeat.
As a rare leader, Han Meng had 100 points of strength. His special skill gave him another 20 points of strength. In terms of pure strength, he did not lose to Xu Huang. In terms of martial arts, Han Meng did not fall behind either.
If there was anything that Han Meng lacked, it was the Lord-ranked aura. Fierce Sharpness and underestimating the enemy. Only generals did not have the talent to be commanders. They could charge and break through enemy lines, but they could not control the overall situation.
Gao Lan led the army to attack Cao Cao. With the existence of the special skill "Force Chop", it was truly a matter of raising one's hand and swinging one's sword and swinging one's sword and swinging one's sword and swinging one's sword and swinging one's sword and swinging one's sword and swinging one's sword.
The Cao general, Zhong Shen, brandished his halberd to fight. However, in just one exchange, he was cut down by Gao Lan. Gao Lan even spat, "Do you think you're worthy of using a halberd?"
Zhong Shen's elder brother, Zhong Jin, shouted loudly and brandished his axe to attack Gao Lan. Not even three moves later, half of his head was chopped off by Gao Lan.
Gao Lan's subordinates cheered in unison. Seeing that Cao Cao was closing in on him, Le Jin galloped forward to meet Gao Lan in battle. Fortunately, Le Jin was a valiant general. In terms of strength, he was not at a disadvantage. He was able to hold his own against Gao Lan, preventing him from advancing any further.
Unexpectedly, before the battle had even begun, a streak of yellow light shot toward them from the side. It was Bai Xiaowen, who had thrown out a Bewitching Spell to help Gao Lan.
Under Bai Xiaowen's meditation, Le Jin was hit on the spot and froze on the horse. How could Gao Lan let go of this opportunity? He brandished his blade and aimed it at Le Jin's neck.
Le Jin used his skill, Xiao Guo, in an attempt to break free from the control. However, at this time, Bai Xiaowen's priority had increased by one level. The total priority of the Bewitching Spell was as high as 8 points! However, Le Jin was unable to break free.
