Chapter 800 Mist
It was night, and the moonlight was exceptionally bright, illuminating the entire land.
The soldiers guarding the city stood on the wall of Huang County and had a clear view of the situation below the city, but they did not relax at all, and their sharp eyes kept scanning the surroundings. These are the results of strict training that they have always insisted on, and they cannot relax at any time.
Be vigilant, this is what the elite of Chu army are praised for.
"Be careful, everyone. Liu Beijun has just left for less than a day. If the other party tries to counterattack, we must warn you as soon as possible, otherwise our guards will question you." The patrolling guards shouted angrily.
"promise!"
The guard looked at the energetic soldiers around him and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw that the dark but pure sky under the moonlight in the distance was now a bit foggy.
"Is that a dark cloud?" Du Wei murmured.
Soon, in front of everyone's eyes, the dark clouds in the distance kept getting closer and bigger, gradually covering the entire sky. All the soldiers held their weapons and shields tightly, looking at them as if they were about to collapse.
The sky's eyes were full of horror. This scene, which seemed like the end of the world, would have turned into chaos if it weren't for the firmness of the soldiers of Chu.
"alert!"
Du Wei let out a long and shrill cry.
The soldiers of Chu who were vaguely frightened by this scene heard the sound. Before they could recover, they already reflexively gathered together with their ten-man team to form a defensive formation until they felt the same solid back behind them.
, everyone is just like waking up from a dream.
The cloud mountains in the distance have been slowly pressing down.
"Fire Arrow!"
Huang Zhongjun's normal routine was to clear the way with bows and arrows. No matter what secrets were hidden in the cloud mountains, countless fire arrows rushed straight at them, but they found nothing. The guards who took out their telescopes only saw countless fire arrows falling on the ground but no sign of the enemy.
"Weird!"
Du Wei felt strange in his heart. The clouds and mountains in the sky before him appeared so strangely and their scale was so astonishing. He would never believe that they were formed naturally, but he did not see any trace of the enemy.
"There is something strange here. Go and report it to the general immediately." The guard was undecided, but he still said quickly.
The clouds and fog are getting thicker and thicker, gradually covering the entire city. Although lights are lit everywhere, the surroundings are still pitch black, and you can't see anything more than a foot away. Not only that, the fog is getting heavier and heavier,
There were less and less places that his eyes could see. By the time Huang Zhong rushed to the city wall, there was only an arm's length left within his eyes.
"How?" Huang Zhong looked at the counselors around him.
Several people were sweating profusely: "General, this cloud is indeed a good thing, but we don't know what means to use, and we can't break it."
"I don't know what the means are? Is it possible that this was not done by the other party's adviser?"
"With our combined efforts, even if Chen Qun takes action, we can still detect something, but now we can't find out the truth at all. This is definitely not something that can be done purely with the power of counselors."
Although the counselors around Huang Zhong are not the top wise men in the world, they are all near first-rate. They still have their own abilities and arrogance. They immediately rejected Huang Zhong's doubts. There are many people in the world who can defeat them.
, but there is absolutely no one who can make them unable to detect even the slightest truth. The power they feel is so vast that it cannot be formed by a few counselors using their mental power.
"In this situation, what suggestions do you have?" Huang Zhong asked. With such a thick fog, it was completely dark in front of everyone. Everyone's vision was deprived, and it was impossible to command and dispatch.
"Just wait and see what happens," said a counselor.
With such thick clouds and fog, his own command system temporarily collapsed. He did not believe that the other party could rush up without any hindrance. The visual deprivation should exist for both parties. Otherwise, if such clouds and fog had no effect on the other party, then
This battle cannot be fought.
"The greater the power, the greater the consumption. General, don't worry, the opponent will definitely not be able to sustain such a large-scale fog for long." The strategist accompanying the army comforted.
How can he fight when his eyes are blindfolded? Huang Zhong couldn't do anything else even if he wanted to.
"Arrange the soldiers on each city wall to take turns to shoot two fire arrows down the city every quarter of an hour, in their own direction. If you find the enemy, report them as soon as possible." Huang Zhong said in a calm tone.
However, what was unexpected was that it was night, and the thick fog did not dissipate all night, covering Huang County, but there was no trace of the enemy.
Huang Zhong, who had been standing on the city wall, looked at the gradually dispersing fog and the rising sun. He was slightly relieved, but at the same time, doubts flashed in his eyes. There was such a big movement last night, but nothing happened.
happened, giving him a feeling of anticlimax.
"What on earth is Liu Xuande thinking?" Huang Zhong murmured.
…
Riding a horse alone, he arrived at the foot of Huang County City. Liu Bei looked at Huang Zhong on the city wall and said calmly: "General Huang, please come down and talk to Bei."
At this time, there was no one around Liu Bei. Chen Dao and Zhang Fei, whom Huang Zhong had always been afraid of, were both in front of the army at the rear. Countless soldiers on the city wall aimed their bows and arrows at Liu Bei, waiting for Huang Zhong to speak and were ready to shoot him into a
hedgehog.
Huang Zhong looked at Liu Bei who looked calm, modest and kind in front of the city. A hint of approval and admiration flashed through his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he jumped down from the city wall and landed on the ground.
But what is surprising is that Huang Zhong jumped down from the city wall and landed on the ground silently, leaving no footprints. His exquisite control of inner energy is amazing.
Step by step, he slowly walked in front of Liu Bei, carrying a terrifying momentum. Huang Zhong looked at Liu Bei in front of him and said slowly: "Xuan Degong is really brave. Under such circumstances, he can still show no fear. He is alone in front of him.
Come on, aren't you afraid that Huang will capture you?"
Liu Bei smiled calmly: "Why do you need General Huang to take action? Bei is here to make peace with General Huang today. If General Huang is willing, Bei will go to Jinling next."
Huang Zhong looked at Liu Bei's indifferent expression, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let's make peace? Is Mr. Xuande joking? It was true that I didn't check for a while and you took advantage of it, but you think you can do it this way?"
Are you qualified to make peace with me? I still have more than 30,000 elite soldiers in my hands, what do you have? With only 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers behind you at most, how qualified are you to make peace with me?"
"Haha, General Huang is indeed quick to talk. If it is a head-on battle, my army is indeed no match for you, but this time, you still lose." Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Oh? I lost? How did Mr. Xuande know that? Is it just because of the heavy fog last night?" Huang Zhong was startled, as if he had vaguely noticed something, but he still said calmly on the surface.
"I'm afraid General Han Sheng was helpless in the heavy fog last night." Liu Bei seemed to have seen through Huang Zhong's thoughts: "Of course, the heavy fog was not enough to defeat the general, but Xuande relied on more than just the heavy fog.
