Xu Chu and others looked at this thing curiously.
It can be seen that it is made of steel and has two pedals on the front, so it should be rideable.
Xiang Kunlun sat on it and demonstrated it to everyone in person.
"This is an iron car. You can ride it manually, and you don't have to worry about the cold. If you don't believe me, you can come up and feel it."
Xu Chu couldn't wait to climb up and suddenly exclaimed.
"Ah! It's so warm!"
Xiang Kunlun said that it was because there was an oven inside, so even if it was freezing cold, the soldiers would not have to worry about fighting.
"This is so convenient!"
Xu Chu stayed in the car, warming himself by the stove and felt so comfortable that he didn't even want to get down.
If it wasn't for a war, he really wanted to stay in this car for the rest of his life.
"My lord, why didn't you tell me earlier! Zhong Kang was still worried that he wouldn't be able to defeat Cao Cao. If I had this thing, I would beat him all over the place!"
Seeing that Xiang Kunlun liked him very much, he simply said: "Zhongkang listens to the order!"
Xu Chu got out of the car and knelt down in front of Xiang Kunlun.
"Xiang will order you to be the marshal in front of the battle. How about fighting the first battle?"
Xu Chu couldn't ask for it.
"Zhong Kangding will live up to my lord's expectations!"
Cao Cao's first reaction after receiving the news was disbelief.
"How could Xiang Kunlun choose to fight in winter if he wasn't mentally disturbed?"
Until the spies reported that Xiang Kunlun had already set off with his troops, he remained calm.
"In front of God, everyone is equal! Since Xiang Kunlun wants to die, Cao will give him a ride!"
Cao Cao didn't take Xiang Kunlun's coming to attack him seriously at all. In such a cold weather and such a harsh environment, Xiang Kunlun might have froze to death before he could reach him.
"How ridiculous!"
Soon, Cao Cao couldn't laugh anymore.
The soldiers guarding the city stumbled in and said, "Oh no! Lord! That Xiang Kunlun is attacking the city with some iron objects!"
Cao Cao was already confused: "What iron thing?"
He followed the soldiers to the city tower to check the situation, and was so frightened that he could not speak clearly.
"W-what is this?"
boom!
The gravel crackled and hit Cao Cao.
"Bah!" Cao Cao spat out the dust in his mouth, "Come on! We must stop Xiang Kunlun! Don't let him in!"
Xu Chu stood at the front proudly, firing crossbows and muskets inside the chariot. Within an hour, he successfully breached one of Cao Cao's cities.
"Lord, leave quickly! The city has been destroyed!"
Zhou Yu's face was scratched with blood from sand and stones, and he struggled to find Cao Cao amidst the roar.
Cao Cao was unwilling to give up this city.
"Lord, let's go!" Zhou Yu was anxious, "Keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and, under the cover of his men, abandoned the city with his troops and fled.
Will Xiang Kunlun let him take a breather? of course not.
"Zilong, you and a small group of people will stay behind while the others continue to move forward!"
"Come on!"
"Kill the thief Cao!"
A louder shout reached Cao Cao's ears, scaring him so much that he wet his buttocks.
Xiang Kunlun's consecutive attacks have caused him to lose three cities in succession.
"How to do how to do?"
"Xiang Kunlun, he wants to trap Cao to death!"
Cao Cao hid in the city, listening to the noise outside, feeling upset but unable to do anything.
If his food had not been stolen, he might still be able to fight Xiang Kunlun.
Nowadays, firstly, there is a shortage of food, and secondly, he has self-knowledge, and he cannot defeat Xiang Kunlun at all.
"You losers! Find a way!"
In this situation, Zhou Yu thought of Liu Bei.
"Lord, we have formed an alliance with Liu Bei now, why not go to him for help!"
Cao Cao, holding on to his last glimmer of hope, wrote a letter and gave it to Lu Su.
"Zijing, it all depends on you!"
Lu Su hurriedly rushed to Liu Bei's city at the risk of being killed.
Liu Bei hunkered down in the city and only asked people to bring in letters without even showing his face.
Lu Su had no choice but to go back first.
"Brother, what did Cao Cao say?"
Liu Bei snorted coldly, as he had expected this.
"This is Cao Cao's letter for help."
Just when Guan Yu wanted to ask Liu Bei what he thought, Liu Bei elegantly picked up the letter and pointed it to the oil lamp next to him.
A small flame instantly burned the letter to ashes.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Liu Bei waved his hand: "Did Cao Cao send a letter? Did you see it? I didn't see it anyway."
Guan Yu couldn't laugh or cry.
"Brother, this is not the solution after all. My lips are dead and my teeth are cold!"
This time Zhang Fei also agreed with Guan Yu's opinion.
"That Xiang Kunlun is definitely not a kind person. After he finishes defeating Cao Cao, the next step will definitely be us."
Liu Bei spoke plausibly. He first said that he was not a timid person, nor was he unwilling to save others.
"Second brother and third brother, the current situation is very obvious. Cao Cao will definitely lose."
"Even if we go there without horses or food, it won't help!"
"And I also heard that Xiang Kunlun has powerful weapons. If we go there, we will die."
He said a lot, and it was obvious that he didn't want to save Cao Cao.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had been listening to him, obviously didn't agree with him this time.
Zhang Fei spoke directly: "It's better to fight with him than to wait here to die. Besides, people can't trust what they say. How can we not save him when the alliance comes to ask for help?"
Liu Bei was choked and speechless by Zhang Fei's rhetorical question, so he simply closed his eyes to rest and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Zhang Fei was angry. He felt that Liu Bei had changed. The elder brother in his mind was chivalrous and courageous, speaking out for justice, and he was definitely not such a rat!
"Brother, why are you so cowardly now? If so, we might as well surrender! This will save us the trouble of fighting this war!"
Liu Bei couldn't save his face and loudly reprimanded Zhang Fei, saying that he ignored the brotherhood of the three of them, turned his elbows outward, and ignored the overall situation.
Zhang Fei felt unhappy, but Liu Bei was the eldest brother, so he had to endure it and said nothing.
I don’t know how long it has been since I kept putting it off again and again.
Cao Cao was desperate, but did not wait for Liu Bei's reinforcements to arrive.
He asked Lu Su: "What did Liu Bei say?"
Lu Su then said that he had not even seen Liu Bei's face.
Cao Cao yelled in the direction of Liu Bei: "Liu Xuande! You are a despicable and shameless villain! What kind of hero are you? Why don't you return the favor to Uncle Liu?"
Now even if he scolds Liu Bei harshly, he can't change his situation.
Cao Cao was on the verge of despair.
Zhou Yu stepped forward and persuaded: "Lord, what else do we care about him? Let's go quickly!"
At this time, news came from the front that Xiang Kunlun did not continue the attack, but directly garrisoned three cities.
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and knew that Xiang Kunlun was seeking stability rather than speed, and he was temporarily relieved.
"Don't worry yet, let me think about it!"
Cao Cao was never willing to give up the city to others.
