Runan, Yuzhou
"Big Brother, Big Brother, something is wrong, Big Brother." Guan Yu blushed and rushed into Liu Bei's room. Liu Bei was also making humans. Of course, his speed was about the same as Cao Cao's, but Cao Cao already had a successor, and he Liu Bei still doesn't have half a descendant, not even a daughter.
"Second brother, why are you so flustered?" Liu Bei asked Guan Yu as he got dressed.
"It's not good, brother, this Cao Cao doesn't want our city!" Guan Yu said anxiously to Liu Bei.
"Don't want our city anymore?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, "This is a good thing!" When did this Cao Cao and Cao Aman actually have the heart of a bodhisattva, and he was ready to help him selflessly, Liu Bei? Could it be that Fu Wanfu Guozhang and others or the Han Emperor's swearing to the death
"Hey, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Bei doesn't know how to repay His Majesty!" Liu Bei said with emotion there.
"Oh, brother, it's not Your Majesty, this Cao Cao has retreated from our city!" Guan Yu reminded again.
&nb↓10,000＋Book※bar＋↓＋nsb＋msp;? "Oh, retreat!"
"Go back to Yanzhou!"
"What!" Liu Bei finally lost his composure. "What did you say?" Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's shoulder and asked loudly. "It's over!" Liu Bei almost couldn't support himself and fell to the ground.
"Big brother, big brother!" Guan Yu hurriedly supported Liu Bei.
"Reporting to my lord, there is an envoy from Cao Cao asking to see me!"
"Quick, hurry up and come in!" Liu Bei panted and said to the scary person.
"Yes!" Soon Liu Bei received Cao Cao's envoy in the conference hall.
"Liu Zhoumu, I'm here to ask Master Zhou Mu to resign!" Cao Cao's envoy said to Liu Bei as soon as he came up.
"No no. Shijun. Prime Minister Cao asked Shijun to bring his soldiers and horses to help Liu Bei defend Yuzhou. I have already given Shijun three cities, how can this be done? If Shijun thinks it is not enough, we can go again Plus, plus!" Liu Bei is now a drowning man who has grasped the last straw, but now the last straw seems unreliable, and Liu Bei is naturally scared and stupid.
"Hey, hey, this Liuzhou Mu. This is not a problem with Caocheng, and there is nothing we can do to help him!" The emissary was also in a dilemma. If he stayed like this, then Liu Bei would come and cry, make trouble and hang himself. He just couldn't bear it. "Well, there are too many reasons for this!" The messenger was unwilling to reveal much.
But seeing which residence of Liu Bei you don't tell me, I won't let you go, so I can only say, "This Yangzhou army has already issued a warning to my lord, and my lord was forced to retreat!"
"Yangzhou Liu Mang's son? Can he threaten Cao Cao? Isn't your lord accompanying our army?" Guan Yu asked, this is all a gimmick, are you afraid of threats
"It's not like this. It's the Yangzhou army, he! Hey" the messenger told Liu Bei how the Yangzhou army entered Yanzhou under Liu Bei's banner under the guise of Liu Bei's troops. He also wrote a letter threatening Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to return to defense.
"Shameless, shameless, this Liu Mang boy, Liu Mang boy, you are devoid of conscience!" Liu Bei burst into tears, yelling loudly.
Make this Cao Cao's envoy ashamed, "General Guan, take good care of your lord. I'm still busy here, so don't bother me if I'm busy!" The envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to leave.
Guan Yu let the man leave without stopping.
"Big brother, big brother!" During Guan Yu pinching someone again, the one pinching his hand finally came to life, at this time Sun Qian and others also came.
"Where is this Yangzhou army?" Liu Bei here just woke up and asked Sun Qian and Guan Yu below.
"This, this!" Sun Gan stammered and dared not speak out, "My lord, you should rest in peace and recuperate."
"Recover from illness? When is it time to recuperate from illness!" Liu Beisu faced Guan Yu with a sad face, "Second brother, tell me, don't lie to elder brother!"
"I, I. Me!" Guan Yu was called by his elder brother by name, and Guan Yu had no choice but to show a helpless look to Military Master Sun Qian. Guan Yu would not lie, "Brother , this Yangzhou army has surrounded us, and they are about to attack the city.” Nandun Xiangcheng was all lost, and Cao Cao also withdrew his troops, so now the army in Yuzhou is basically receiving cities along the way, and then sending troops all the way there, and even some counties directly No more, so the speed of marching is amazing.
"Me!" As soon as Liu Bei heard the news, his eyes went dark and he fainted again.
…
"Hahahahahaha, Zi respects talents, Zi respects talents!" This was the first time Lu Bu said this sentence many times, and Zhang Liao and others over there also took a few glances at Lu Sugao, because originally he was a In the stalemate, if Cao Cao's army does not withdraw, then Yangzhou's soldiers and horses will not be able to march, and if they cannot march, they will not be eliminated. Liu Bei's occupation of Yuzhou can only be exhausted. If this continues, the Yangzhou army cannot afford to delay.
However, Lu Su's strategy made Cao Cao retreat, and the deadlock was broken immediately. As long as Runan was attacked, Yuzhou would be within easy reach.
"Taking Runan and pacifying Yuzhou, Zijing should make the first contribution!" Lu Bu said to Lu Su.
"Master Wen Hou is too famous!" Lu Su still looked like that. In fact, he was also very happy these few days, because his talent was really displayed in Lu Bu's army, and Zhang Liao still let him go. It is said that the sense of accomplishment of winning Yuzhou has never been felt before.
"Liu Bei from Runan should be in a panic!" Cheng Yu said coldly, Cheng Yu is an old man in Lu Bu's army. When Liu Bei led Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou, all Xuzhou soldiers were deeply impressed by Liu Bei.
So now that he can attack Liu Bei, all the big-eared thieves are gearing up.
"That's natural. Cao Cao doesn't care about him. Now that most of Yuzhou is in our hands, he's left with Runan!"
"Take Runan, I want to take that Liu Bei's head as a feast!" Lu Bu became cold, this Liu Bei and Liu Da'er are plotting against him, and Lu Bu is serious. Starting from Xuzhou, it was hypocrisy and falsehood. After that, he joined forces with Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu arrived in Yangzhou, this Liu Bei still lingered. He even joined forces with Sun Ce and Wancheng Zhangxiu to attack Yangzhou.
Therefore, Lu Bu hated Liu Bei deeply, and now that Runan has been captured, it will be Liu Bei's death.
"Pass down my military order, the whole army will make fire and cook food, build ballistas, and within three days I will take down Runan City!" Lu Bu's order ordered tens of thousands of troops to start to move, logging and cooking. However, Runan City was in a state of depression. No one will be easy when the army is overwhelming.
In the city, Liu Bei is ready to die. Even if he was destroyed by Lu Bu, he would have to bite off a few mouthfuls of Lu Bu's flesh. The main reason is that the envoys sent by Liu Bei were all killed by Lu Bu to sacrifice the flag. .
"Calista, ballista, the enemy's ballista!" Soon the ballistas of Lu Bu's army were built, one after another stood there, and huge stones were ready to be continued.
"Get ready! Let it go!" With the order of the messenger, huge boulders were thrown into the sky and fell into the city, turning into flints from hell. It takes people's lives.
"Boom boom boom!" In the city, no matter whether it is a commoner or a soldier, as long as they are hit, they will basically be touched, and they will be injured immediately. Almost became synonymous with the devil.
"That's it, that's it!" On the top of Runan City, those Liu Beijuns were in a state of desperation, and they were all terrified of the ballista outside. When there was only one young man staring at the ballista outside with fiery eyes.
He never thought that this trebuchet could throw it so far.
"My lord, my lord, this Lv Bujun's catapult machine is too powerful. There have been heavy casualties on our city walls!" A school lieutenant reported to Liu Beihui.
"There are heavy casualties? Even if there is only one person left after death, you have to go up to me!" Liu Bei roared loudly. Now, Liu Bei is the last one. Lu Bu has learned to be smart and knows that Liu Bei can run, so Lu Bu Scattering the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and Xiliang iron cavalry over the four continents, wandering around the city is telling him Liu Bei, you have a try, it will definitely make you feel good.
Without a way out, Liu Bei could only do his best.
"Yes!" With Liu Bei's recovery, the captain could only grit his teeth and climb up the city wall, and soon the wounded were carried down one by one. Those boulders fell on people, basically there was no way out, and people died. It's still quite miserable. Some people were killed by a stone on the head. Some people were crushed half of their bodies by the stone, and half of their bodies were crushed. There was only half left. Unable to die, this is the most uncomfortable thing, the miserable cry made the soldiers around fear, those captains could only send these robes away with tears in their eyes.
"My lord, my lord, don't we also have a trebuchet, use our trebuchet!" Suddenly someone suggested it, and Liu Bei remembered, yes, they also have a trebuchet. Just used it.
"Yes, yes, yes, take out our trebuchet, where's the horse?" Liu Bei suddenly remembered a person, isn't this the creator of the trebuchet, who was the one when he was in Shouchun The human trebuchet allowed Liu Bei's army to suppress the Shouchun defenders and almost took down Shouchun City.
But it was too late for Liu Bei to look for it now, because after arriving in Runan, Liu Bei forgot about this inventor, because among the ancients, these skilled lacquer craftsmen basically belonged to the inferior people, so Liu Bei naturally forgot Now that I think about it, I can't find someone else.
"It doesn't matter, let's use our trebuchet first!" Liu Bei waved his hand. The soldiers in his army still remembered how to make a trebuchet. There was not enough wood in the city, so they demolished the house and put the wooden piles on it. Take down all the things like that, it doesn’t matter if there are no stones, let him tear down the unused walls of the inner city, anyway, if the outer city can’t stand it, the inner city is useless, such a desperate time , He actually asked Liu Bei to come up with more than a dozen trebuchets.
In this way, Liu Bei's pressure was reduced a lot.
"Boom boom boom!" Under the city, the ballista of the Yangzhou army threw the boulder again, and the captain repeatedly conveyed the order. Suddenly his eyes were in a daze. Hey, why is this boulder getting closer and closer? He thought which group of ballistas was carrying it, but when he was about to reprimand him, he suddenly lost his mind. The whole person was knocked down by the boulder in the sky. Turned into a pile of meat paste and blood plasma.
"The enemy's catapult. The enemy's catapult!" Suddenly someone realized that these boulders were thrown from the top of the city. Such a surprise attack caused the Yangzhou army a lot of losses.
"My lord, my lord, I didn't expect that Liu Bei and Liu Da'er also had a trebuchet. It seems that his power is not small!" Zhang Liao shouted at Lu Bu.
"En?" Lu Bu's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect Liu Bei to have such a sharp weapon. In this way, Liu Bei was always in a passive state of being beaten. If this continues, you will be able to fight back, and it will become a shot at the trebuchet.
But even if you, Liu Bei, have the power to fight back, so what? "Pass me the military order, and build me twenty more ballistas!" Lu Bu on the side shouted to his subordinates, Liu Bei is now a trapped beast. How much wood and how many boulders are there in the city can be squandered for him, but he is different from Lu Bu, who has a lot of resources outside the city, so if he can withstand consumption, let's see who can't sink first.
"Yes!" Soon someone went down and started building.
On the walls of Runan City. Liu Bei couldn't help laughing when he saw the power of his trebuchet, as long as it could suppress Lu Bu's ballista over there. Then Liu Bei may not have no chance to turn defeat into victory, isn't it just consumption? He Liu Bei is also a bachelor. Miserable, then his Yangzhou is still a dead end in the end.
Lu Bu's newly added 20 trebuchets also went to the battlefield, and boulders were flying on both sides. Soon Lu Bu's army also discovered a very serious problem, that is, there were not enough boulders, and they had too many trebuchets. The density of this shot is also high, and the cost is also high, and the boulder thrown from the city wall falls on the ground and is quickly smashed.
At the beginning, I didn't feel that there were not enough boulders when shooting with the ballista, but after a long time, it will naturally become less and less, and if you want to transport the boulders, you have to take it several miles, or even tens of miles. Time waits for no one.
The boulders are difficult to move, which has become a big problem. Without ballistas to open the way, it will take human life to pile up the stones to attack the city.
Just when Lu Bu was frowning, he was thinking about filling up the moat with his life.
Suddenly, a messenger came to report, "Report to the lord, a spy has been found outside the camp!"
"A spy?" Lu Bu frowned. Who else is a spy at this time? Cao Cao's? Liu Bei's? Does it make sense
"Bring it up!" Lu Bu thought for a while, it was already late, and there was no need to attack the city at this time, so he naturally asked the messenger to bring this spy up.
"Let go of me, let me go! This so-called spy is struggling hard over there.
"Let him go!" Seeing someone coming, Lu Bu waved his hands to let his subordinates let him go, but he was just a young scholar, with no strength to restrain a chicken, could he still hurt him, Lu Bu
"Who sent you as a spy, why did you come to our military tent?" Lu Bu asked the young scholar.
"I came out of Runan City!" The young man was straightforward, and he was not timid to speak out when he saw Lu Bu.
"Runan City?" Lu Bu frowned. Runan City, isn't that Liu Bei's subordinate? "What are you doing here? Is Liu Bei here to ask you to beg for mercy? If this is the case, someone, come and drag me out to chop It's gone." Lu Bu was merciless, Liu Bei's emissary, Lu Bu, had already killed three of them, and if he killed this one, he would be the fourth.
"I have nothing to do with Liu Bei, I have nothing to do with Liu Bei!" The young man shouted in panic when he heard that he was going to be dragged out and beheaded.
"Slow down!" Lu Bu stopped his subordinates from dragging the young man down, and said to the young man, "Aren't you here on behalf of Liu Bei?"
"Of course, I'm here on my own behalf. I want to surrender to your Yangzhou army." The young man patted his back and said.
"Surrender? Hahahahaha!" Lu Bu's subordinates nearby laughed. It turned out that this was a traitor seeking glory. Seeing that the former master Liu Bei was dying, he was about to surrender.
"Tell me, what skills do you have?" A look of disdain appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, "Is it superior force? Or is it superior resourcefulness?"
"None!" The young man was straightforward, saying that he didn't have these things.
"Not at all? Didn't you come here to surrender to me? Could it be that you want to have a meal?" Lu Bu's disdain deepened.
"Yes, I don't have extraordinary force, and I don't have superb resourcefulness. But I can make your catapult have a longer range. I can make your catapult hit the city wall. Fight back." The young man said to Lu Bu.
"Oh?" Lu Bu became interested, "Can you make ballistas?"
"That thing is called a ballista? No wonder no wonder! It's really like a cannon." The young man murmured.
"Our lord is asking you something!" The guard on the side was dissatisfied and yelled at the young man.
"This is natural, this is natural, I designed the things on Liu Bei's city wall for him." The young man was a little proud, but he died soon after. "But it's a pity that it is still not as good as your ballista." Said enviously.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. If you can let our ballista destroy Liu Bei's trebuchet on the city wall, then I will give you a chance to be loyal." Lu Bu said to the young man.
"I don't want to be loyal to you. I want to find the person who made this ballista." This young man didn't give Lu Bu face at all.
"Boy, do you know who our general is?"
"It's all right." Lu Bu waved his hand. Don't you know who designed this ballista, Lu Bu? Of course it's his precious son-in-law. What's the difference between being loyal to his son-in-law and being loyal to him? Aren't they all doing things for Yangzhou
"It's getting late, arrange a tent for this little brother, let him sleep, and let him show his skills tomorrow morning." Lu Bu said to his subordinates.
"No need!" The young man waved his hand and said, "I can't wait to see those catapults, general, can you let me have a look! I promise you will destroy these ballistae tomorrow! Those trebuchets on Nancheng." The young man was very confident.
"Okay!" Lu Bu nodded, his current time is also very precious, a little more time to break Runan. Then there is more time to develop the "someone send this little brother to the Ballista!"
"Yes!" The guard under his hand quickly led the young man towards the direction of the ballista.
"My lord? Are you not afraid that he is a spy sent by Cao Cao? I'm afraid it will take away our crossbows? Some people questioned it. If it was sent by Cao Cao or other princes, then it's not right." Well, after learning this ballista technique, there will be no advantage in future battles.
"Hehe, if Runan can be destroyed earlier, what are these things? Besides, as long as others are around, how much are these technologies?" Lu Bu has now been brainwashed by Liu Wei. It's dead, but people are alive. If this young man can really learn the technology of ballistas, then it means that he knows how to learn mechanisms. It is better for such a person to imprison him than such a ballista. of. What Yangzhou lacks now is the talents of institutional studies. The industrial zone is too busy to rely on Liu Ye alone.
"These are ballistas!" Lu Bu's guards led the young man to the place where the ballistas were. The surroundings of the ballistas were very quiet, with only a few soldiers guarding them.
"Are these ballistas?" The young man looked at the things in front of him, and couldn't help but his eyes flashed. The thing he had been thinking about day and night was about to arrive. How could he not be excited.
"This, this?" The young man looked at the gear-like things on it. "Bringing in, such a running in! No wonder, no wonder." The young man nodded while watching.
"Sure enough, it's amazing, why didn't I think of it? Wouldn't it increase his power if you use these things together?" The young man said to himself again, "But these places still have shortcomings, For example, climbing the boulder was slow, and he couldn't shoot continuously, so his power was reduced by a point." The young man touched the ballista and said.
"Che, it seems that you are very powerful. This was created by our Highness the King of Shu. It is very powerful."
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" The young man hesitated a little, but then shook his head. "No matter how powerful you are, you can't even shoot!" The young man replied.
"Continuous shooting? Hehe, you haven't seen our bed crossbow! Our bed crossbow can shoot continuously." The guard argued.
"Bed crossbow?" The young man thought for a moment. He had seen this bed crossbow before. It was indeed capable of continuous shooting, but its power was only 300 steps, and if it exceeded 700 steps, it would not even be able to shoot a giant shield. What's the use of wearing it? This crossbow has been verified on the city wall of Shouchun.
"That was in the past. Now the range of the bed crossbow of His Highness the King of Shu..." The guard was about to speak when he was interrupted by the people around him. He was talking too much. He was the guard next to Lu Bu, so he could hear a lot of secrets. If the mouth is broken, it may be fatal.
"Tell me, what is the range of your bed crossbow now?" The young man grabbed hold of it.
"I can't tell you this. You will know when you arrive in our Yangzhou." The range of the bed crossbow is known to some generals in addition to the naval army. This time the Yangzhou army also brought the bed crossbow, but they never showed up.
"It's fine if you don't say anything, I will know sooner or later." The young man nodded and looked at the ballista in front of him. He was a little fascinated. He just likes mechanism skills. The ballista is like touching one's relatives, but this young man is a little confused. Is this Lu Bu's ballista placed here? Isn't he afraid of the sneak attack in Runan City? There is no such thing as repelling horses outside this camp. If it is attacked by cavalry, it will be destroyed.
As soon as the young man was puzzled, the sound of fighting suddenly rang out.
"Kill, kill, kill! Kill these Yangzhou dogs." The ground was trembling. This was the heavy armored cavalry charging, and the power of the heavy armored cavalry galloping was terrifying. The heavy armored cavalry in this city was under Liu Bei's command. The Xiliang iron cavalry, who were able to launch a surprise attack so close, must have been slanting grass roots and wrapping cloth on the horse's hooves, so they approached quietly.
"Quick, quick, pull these ballistas away, pull them away." The young man's love for ballistas was almost reaching a certain level, and he shouted over there.
But these guards remained motionless.
"What are you still doing in a daze? The enemy is coming, and your ballistas are about to be destroyed." The young man was in a hurry. You have to save one or the other, otherwise how would he study.
"What's the rush! Naturally, there are people who specialize in dealing with night raids." These guards were very indifferent.
"En?" The young man turned his head suspiciously, and the torch was lit during the fight over there, and he saw many footsteps suddenly appearing on the barren grassland.
"Rush over there, kill them and destroy their catapults."
"Infantry?" The young man didn't understand how useful it is for you to fight against heavy cavalry? It's not that they were washed away.
But after a while he didn't think so, because he found out from those miserable screams that it was not those Lv Bu's infantry fighting, but those heavy armored cavalry who made a surprise attack.
"Have you set up a tripping rope in front?" the young man asked.
"Where is it so troublesome to deal with them?" Several guards said disdainfully, "You will know it when you hear this voice!"
"Sound?" The young man frowned when he heard the sound of "Swoosh, swish!" echoing in his ears.
"Reload, reload, shoot, shoot."
The torches became brighter and brighter, and the young man saw the bed crossbows he had seen before, throwing his huge arrows vigorously, and this giant arrow directly killed those enemies with horses and men. pierced through the ground.
The enemy was dead if he charged, and he was dead if he ran away. The young man clearly saw a Xiliang iron cavalry five hundred paces away was directly nailed to the ground by a huge arrow.
"This, this, this!"
