Chapter 407: Man can conquer nature
The wind was howling, dark clouds covered the sun, and heavy rain and hail poured down on Guan Yu's army.
The sudden bad weather threw Guan Yu's army into chaos.
The soldiers who had been charging forward like a tide were now hit by the hail and could not even raise their heads.
The mud on the battlefield spread rapidly, slowing down the soldiers' movements and breaking their neat formations.
Guan Yu couldn't help but frown as he looked at this strange celestial phenomenon.
Looking up at the sky, he knew in his heart that this was definitely not a natural phenomenon, but rather an enemy who had displayed a powerful talent.
"Want to relive the Battle of Kunyang again?"
In Guan Yu's center army, Cheng Yu looked at the scene with a serious look and couldn't help muttering.
Tian Ze had warned countless times to be careful of the strange and righteous men in the coalition forces, and he mentioned the Battle of Kunyang many times.
Because that battle was too legendary.
How can human power go against heaven?
Under the meteor shower, everything is false.
Although the current situation is not as bad as the Battle of Kunyang, it is probably not much different.
"Yun Chang, I'm afraid we are in trouble!"
As the celestial phenomena changed, the situation between the two sides suddenly reversed.
Although Tian Ze's army had undergone extensive training and their morale was still high, it had inevitably declined and their combat effectiveness was compromised.
Guan Yu quickly organized the troops and slowed down the pace of the attack to maintain stability.
In contrast, Yuan Shao's army was as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
To these people, most of whom are illiterate, God is helping them, so how can they lose?
All the soldiers are in high spirits.
When Cao Cao saw this scene, he was surprised and happy.
Although he was not clear about Xi Zhicai's efforts behind the scenes, he was keenly aware that the opportunity was not to be missed, and who knew how long this phenomenon would last.
He immediately seized this opportunity and commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to launch another charge.
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry bravely advanced in the storm, taking advantage of the confusion of Guan Yu's army and quickly breaking through their defense line.
Cao Cao personally led the elite troops and attacked the center of Guan Yu's army, trying to defeat Guan Yu's army in one fell swoop.
Similarly, the armies led by Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Sun Ce also launched an extremely fierce attack.
Cheng Yu, who was in the center of the army, saw this scene and sighed softly.
But I was also slightly thankful that it was him who was here.
His talent was meant to deal with desperate situations and adversity.
Given today's astronomical phenomena, if it were an ordinary army, morale would have collapsed long ago. However, Tian Zejun's quality combined with his talent have reduced the impact to the extreme.
It's just that the originally high morale has returned to normal and has not shown any signs of decline, which is already a blessing.
"Zhongde, do you need me to do it now?"
Beside Cheng Yu, Xu Huang, who had not spoken a word since the war began, suddenly asked.
Shaking his head gently, Cheng Yu stretched out his hand and gently blocked the wind and rain in front of him.
"If the destiny is not on your side, then you don't have to believe in it."
“Do we have to wait any longer?” Xu Huang tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword slightly and asked again for confirmation.
"Wait." Cheng Yu said firmly.
"I don't believe this celestial phenomenon can last long. We cannot lose this battle."
Although Tian Ze has always instilled in them the idea of stability.
The reason why Cheng Yu was sent here during such a big battle was to prevent this kind of accident.
The situation isn't that bad yet.
As long as Guan Yu's front army stopped and turned back to provide support.
With Cheng Yu's talent, combined with Xu Huang as a backup, it is enough to ensure the safety of the central army and completely drag the war on.
If the battle drags on until night, it will be a sure win, and at most both sides will suffer losses.
After all, compared to Tian Ze's army, the coalition army had no ability to fight at night. But Cheng Yu was unwilling to do so.
What a great situation!
"It's okay to let the coalition forces advance a little further. With Gongming here, there won't be any major chaos."
"If we can kill one more enemy soldier in this battle, there will be one less obstacle to unifying the world in the future."
"Even if these hundreds of thousands of troops are lost, as long as we can defeat these hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, we will win this battle."
Seeing the madness in Cheng Yu's eyes, Xu Huang's heart trembled and he opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something.
The lives of these soldiers are also their lives!
Cheng Yu's order was obviously inconsistent with the tone set by Tian Ze at the beginning.
However, since Guan Yu was not there, Cheng Yu was the commander of the army at this time, so he did not say much. After all, he understood Cheng Yu's thoughts, and as a general, he even had some support in his heart.
Therefore, even though Xu Huang loved his soldiers like his own sons, he could only follow orders.
Looking up, feeling the slight pain as the hailstones hit his face, Xu Huang felt extremely complicated.
Cao Cao and his troops, who launched an attack from three sides, were not aware of Cheng Yu's thoughts, but they also knew that the opportunity could not be missed.
Half a day has passed since the battle began.
Even faced with such astronomical phenomena, Guan Yu's army still did not collapse. Such resilience was completely beyond their imagination.
Cao Cao noticed the hidden danger almost immediately.
Time is still running out.
He never forgot the purpose of this battle.
At this point in the battle, they have actually already lost.
The only hope now is to keep Guan Yu, Cheng Yu and others, and capture as many of these powerful soldiers as possible.
The prerequisite for all this is to capture the central military camp.
"kill!"
Cao Cao personally went into battle and shouted almost madly.
Their lord risked his life for them, so naturally Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and others also went crazy.
At this moment, they had no other thoughts in their minds but to charge forward.
However, as they went deeper, they slowly noticed a problem.
The celestial phenomena help the coalition forces, but the celestial phenomena are the same for both sides.
Such a celestial phenomenon did not defeat Guan Yu's army, so its significance had been largely lost to them.
The muddy ground and the terrible wind, rain and hail certainly blocked Guan Yu's army's charge, but also brought the same difficulties to them as they advanced deeper.
Fortunately, they cut in at a good angle and launched the attack from the side.
The strong wind helped them.
But even so, their attack was not as unstoppable as imagined.
Looking at the endless troops of Guan Yu rushing towards them with determined looks on their faces, Cao Cao and the others suddenly thought of a word for some reason.
Man can conquer heaven!
Celestial phenomena are not unstoppable.
In Yuan Shao's central army, Xi Zhicai, supported by Xun Chen, looked at the situation on the field with lifeless eyes and an endless bitterness on his face.
"Zhicai, you have tried your best. At least we won't lose this battle." Xun Chen comforted in a low voice.
At this time, Xi Zhicai's whole body was cold and there was no life left.
Although they were not in the same camp, Xun Chen really couldn't bear to see them like this.
“But we’ve already lost.”
Xi Zhicai said weakly.
After all, he still couldn't change the trend!
He kept trying to reverse the small situation, but in the face of the grand trend, everything he did seemed so powerless.
