Volume 5: Overlord of the Sea Chapter 562: Transcendence VS Transcendence
"Heaven and earth are like the Tao, they are kind to all good things and unkind to all evil things... The sages follow the example of heaven and earth, they are kind to good people and unkind to evil people..."
Outside the city of Nanzheng, the generals of the Chu army turned up the sound amplifiers of their armor to the maximum, and then recited the mysterious and awe-inspiring teachings of the Tianshi Dao.
At the same time, Nanzheng, which had originally settled down a little, was once again caught up in chaos. The defenders of the South Gate, who were being incorporated, were rekindled in their fighting spirit. The believers in the inner city who were waiting to be incorporated or had temporarily submitted, also believed that there were "Daoist friends" outside the city to reinforce them!
What’s more…
The city walls of Nanzheng now have almost no support from the people - after all, the people's hearts are with the Tianshi Dao. Now that Zhang Lu has fled and Ma Chao has just occupied the city, even if the Chu army does not come, the believers are unwilling to accept it in their hearts. How can there be any support from the people?
The Wuchang 1st Division and Wuchang 2nd Division led by Sun Ce were previously equipped with a total of 16 artillery companies!
The Wuchang Military Region usually focuses on river warfare during its training. The Chu State’s river warships are generally equipped with “reserved gun muzzles + mountain artillery”.
Unlike seagoing ships, most of them have their own guns...
In this way, the navy fighting in the inland water system can directly transport the mountain artillery ashore after landing to carry out further attacks or assist in defense.
Because in comparison, during naval battles, the difference in caliber and range is an absolute difference, and for the navy, the importance of naval battles accounts for the vast majority of the proportion, so built-in naval guns are directly installed on warships in exchange for greater power!
The navy is different...
For naval forces fighting in inland water systems, the ultimate goal of the battle is often to capture the port and then land, with the main goal of conquering cities and territories, which is no less important than naval warfare.
Therefore, whether on ship or on land, movable mountain artillery is usually used - which can also be considered as saving costs.
For this reason, the artillery configuration of the inland navy is much more abundant than that of the general army...
Sun Ce...or rather Zhou Yu, also mobilized most of the accompanying artillery at this time, preparing to take advantage of Ma Chao's unstable foothold and directly attack Nanzheng!
If necessary, we will be prepared to "forcibly demolish" the city wall.
After all, the city wall of Nanzheng is the easiest to demolish now, and Chu State doesn’t really need it…
As for the nominal commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Sun Ce, he was ten miles away from the main battlefield in Nanzheng at this time, and opposite him was the transcendent general of Xiliang - Ma Chao.
"Little Overlord Sun Ce? Haha, this is my third time fighting with the transcendent general. I hope... you can give me some surprises!" Ma Chao said in a cool and domineering tone.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ce was naturally very upset and said, "You are young, but you are so arrogant... I heard that the Qiang people praised you as a mighty general. Those Qiang people are ignorant, but you dare to accept it?"
"Then let Your Excellency 'Little Overlord' come and see if my Divine Mighty General is worthy of his name!"
Ma Chao was already eager to fight and didn't want to waste any more time on verbal battle - after all, it would not be easy for Ma Chao to have a fight with the transcendent general.
In the first two battles with the transcendent generals, Ma Chao’s opponents were the second and third brothers of the Marquis of Qi, that is, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
It was when Ma Teng met the Marquis of Qi that he fought with the two men in the name of learning from each other.
His first opponent was Guan Yu. That was five years ago, and Ma Chao had just transcended not long ago. Although... Guan Yu had also transcended not long ago, after the fight, there was still an obvious experience gap between the two. Moreover, Guan Yu's "fighting momentum" was too terrifying. Ma Chao relied on his super speed and agility to barely remain undefeated, but he was at a disadvantage no matter how you looked at it.
And... it was Ma Chao who was the first to lose his divine power!
The second time was more than a year ago, when Ma Chao and Zhang Fei fought. The two could be said to be evenly matched. They fought until both could no longer maintain their power. During that time, they won various games and could be said to be evenly matched.
Ma Chao did not think that Zhang Fei was weaker than Guan Yu, but that he was stronger!
Unfortunately, Guan Yu stayed in Qingzhou afterwards, and he had no chance to compete again.
However, Sun Ce obviously could not understand Ma Chao’s excitement - after all, there were three other extraordinary generals in the State of Chu!
Although everyone is very busy on weekdays, there is still plenty of time to make a fight during the home visit leave.
And unlike Ma Chao, who has no beeping number, among the four great generals of Chu, Sun Ce is consistently ranked fourth...
Needless to say, Lu Bu was a "monster" who had achieved half a step of transcendence when fighting three heroes in front of Hulao Pass sixteen years ago, and had completely reached the state of transcendence when he killed Dong Zhuo in Chang'an.
After all, although Dong Zhuo was brutal, the world was far from being so chaotic at that time, and it was much more difficult to break through than it is now...
Over the past sixteen years, new transcendent gods have continued to appear in the world, and Lu Bu... seldom takes action against external forces, but strikes hard within... No, he actively guides other transcendents and top-level gods who have the hope of transcending!
Both Sun Ce and Huang Zhong were actually defeated by Lu Bu, and more than once, especially Huang Zhong... He was once severely punished by Lu Bu.
Only Zhao Yun can remain undefeated in front of Lu Bu. Even if he is always at a disadvantage, at least he can resist being KOed, and... Zhao Yun can maintain a similar amount of divine power time as Lu Bu by saving consumption.
Of course, Zhao Yun is different from Lu Bu. When facing Sun Ce and Huang Zhong , he cannot defeat them within the Shenwei time. If he really wants to win, he has to rely on a protracted battle. After Sun Ce and Huang Zhong end the Shenwei mode first...
As for Sun Ce and Huang Zhong...
In fact, there was no winner, but Huang Zhong was the best archer in the State of Chu, and his long-range damage output was better than Lu Bu. Therefore, with his unique "personality", he was widely considered to be superior to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce had to admit that among the four great generals, his strength was indeed the weakest. If he didn't wear armor and didn't enter the divine power mode, Sun Ce couldn't even defeat Huang Zhong who was in the period of declining energy and blood!
Lu Bu had pointed out his problem many times - he had not yet fully digested the Overlord's Armor...
The reason why he was able to transcend was that he borrowed the blessing of the national fortune when the State of Chu was founded and forced a breakthrough.
How strong was the bonus at that time? Even Bai Tu was promoted to gold and jade by the power of the King of Chu!
Although Lu Bu had never seen Dian Wei after his transcendence, from his perception at the time, he was certain that Dian Wei was different from Sun Ce. Zhang Xiu felt this even more deeply - Dian Wei's will to protect Cao Cao exploded when he was trapped in Wancheng, and Lu Bu happened to demonstrate transcendence to Bai Tu at the time, which enabled him to completely digest the inherited E'Lai armor and transcend himself.
And Sun Ce is now...
After entering the divine power state, it still had six light wings behind it, which were obviously the characteristics of the Overlord Armor...
However, compared to Ma Chao, Sun Ce has one biggest advantage, and that is... the experience of fighting against transcendent generals!
