Good effect!

Liu Yi was quite satisfied with this scene. Although it took time to fill the crossbow arrows after firing the air crossbow box, the destructive power caused by the ten consecutive crossbow arrows was very terrifying. It was not as good as that of Xiangyang and Yueyang. The kind of Pojun crossbows that can fire hundreds of crossbow arrows through water power, but the destructive power caused by the joint of hundreds of portable Pojun crossbows was also terrifying. In just a moment, hundreds of Cao troops fell in a pool of blood.

This is just one city wall, and the other two sides combined, the Cao army lost at least thousands of troops in less than three breaths.

Looking at the soldiers who were trying hard to fill the crossbow box, Liu Yi frowned. The shortcomings of this portable broken crossbow were also obvious. It was difficult to fill the crossbow box, and the gap caused by the gap was very large. Fortunately, Cao's army was stunned by this moment and began to retreat. Otherwise, it would be just such a long gap that would have been enough for Cao's army to rush up.

"Liao Hua, divide all the Pojun crossbows into three parts, one to shoot, and the other two to fill in crossbow arrows, so don't stop it!" Liu Yi yelled at Liao Hua below.

"Here!" Liao Hua subconsciously came to his senses and looked in Liu Yi's direction, but he didn't see Liu Yi, and looked around in confusion.

"Where are you looking at? I'm here!" Liu Yi patted the railing on the bracket and looked at Liao Hua speechlessly.

Liao Hua searched for a long time before finding Liu Yi.

Logically speaking, Liu Yi's red armor should be very eye-catching, but for some reason, it is always easy for people to ignore.

According to Liu Yi's instructions, Liao Hua divided the broken army crossbow on the city into three parts and attacked in batches. Although it was not as shocking as before, its lethality was still amazing. In addition, Cao's army was already scared by the previous destructive power, and the offensive was not too tight. Cao Ren obviously discovered this and after killing a few more deserters, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Morale was already drained, and if it continued to fight, it would only increase casualties. However, this result made Cao Ren very frustrated. He originally thought that he would break the city one day, but before he could touch the city wall, he was killed by the opponent's defending equipment and was defeated.

This is definitely the fastest defeat of Cao Ren since he was in command of the army, no doubt about it.

"Dangdangdangdang~"

The crisp sound of gold sounded, and all Cao's army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and retreated quickly.

"Who is it?" Cao Ren looked back in anger and looked in anger.

"General, you can't fight anymore!" Sima Yi knelt on the ground and said in a stern voice to Cao Ren: "Morans have been discharged. If you continue to fight, our army will be defeated."

In fact, it has been defeated.

Cao Ren glared at Sima Yi tightly. According to military rules, he would betray the money without his orders. Even if Sima Yi was killed, Cao Ren also knew that Sima Yi was right. If he continued to fight, he would lose more and win less.

"Return to the camp!" Cao Ren waved his hand depressedly. In today's battle, it was a bit difficult to attack Xinye. Even if the opponent was short of troops, with the crossbow machine, Cao's army would probably have to pay a heavy price to capture Xinye. Cao Ren could not afford this price.

Speaking of this, Sima Yi gave Cao Ren a step, but the punishment still needs to be punished, but it cannot be too heavy, just want to be meaningful.

Seeing Cao's army retreating, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The situation just reported was about 300 broken army crossbows, but in this round, more than 20 were damaged to varying degrees, and some of them simply could not be used.

Many of the components of the Pojun crossbow are made of metal. Even the crossbow itself is made of solid wood. However, this time, Shuxinye did not have so many materials. Liu Yi used them basically all ordinary wood. Even if it is blessed with attributes, it cannot last long. Many of them start to be damaged after being used once.

Taking off the mask on his face and watching Liao Hua walking towards him directly, Liu Yi was speechless and grabbed Liao Hua.

"Marquis Ting?" Liao Hua saw Liu Yi and hurriedly bowed and said, "Just about to report to Marquis Ting!"

Liu Yi: “…”

It seems that the shortcomings of this red scale armor are also very obvious.

"Tell me as you go." Liu Yi nodded and took Liao Hua to the city. He set up a bronze mirror around the city and shone the torches around as a search light. If the enemy comes, he can discover it as soon as possible.

"I just counted it and there were more than 60 of these broken army crossbows, and twenty-seven of them could no longer shoot arrows." Liao Hua bowed.

When Liu Yi heard this, he nodded silently. The materials were restricted very high, and it was impossible for Pojun Crossbow to be as good as before. However, today's battle has ended, and Cao's army may not come to cause trouble again. Guan Yu and Wu's army are gathering here. When the army arrives, the real decisive battle is about to begin.

"Get all the copper ingots in the treasury and all kinds of hard wood. You have to make some broken army crossbows as soon as possible, and let Xinye Ling come to see you." Liu Yi said.

Once the Pojun crossbow is enough to generate a certain amount of the power that bursts out. In this era, it is definitely a strategic weapon. As long as you put a few, the pressure to defend the city will be greatly reduced. Unfortunately, there is not much water flow in the Xinye area to use, and you cannot make that kind of automated Pojun crossbow, otherwise it will be less, and the power will be extremely terrifying.

"Here!" Liao Hua agreed upon hearing this.

However, even without these broken army crossbows, with the current forces of both sides, it would not be easy for Cao Ren to attack, right?

Liu Yi removed the armor with the help of his soldiers, thinking about the comparison of the forces between the two sides. As the defender, it is completely fine if the troops in his hands are only guarding a small city like Xinye, but if the difference in strength is too great, there is nothing we can do.

That night, Liu Yi sent people out of the city overnight to inquire about the current location of Guan Yu, Wu Ban and other troops, and also to inquire about the information from other departments of the Cao army.

"Marty Ting, are you looking for a minister?" Xinye Ling hurriedly came to Liu Yi and bowed, with a sense of admiration in his expression. In today's battle, he also saw that Cao's army was almost at a loss, which made him full of confidence in Liu Yi.

"Yes." Liu Yi nodded: "Can you recognize Chaoyang County Magistrate?"

Chaoyang is less than twenty miles away from Xinye. In the southwest of Xinye, since he has occupied Xinye, Chaoyang has been encircled into the territory of Liu Bei's army.

Now that the war has been fought, the two sides are about to fight to the decisive battle. Taking Chaoyang as the stronghold of Liu Bei's army in this area, echoing Xinye, can also have more chances of winning.

However, if you send troops to attack, Liu Yi will definitely not be able to draw any man now, and Guan Yu and Wu Ban don’t know where they are now. In order to avoid Cao Ren taking the lead, Liu Yi wants to see if this Xinye Ling can help.

"I really know that Marquis Ting wants to convince Chaoyang Ling?" Shinye Ling was not stupid, so he naturally understood what Liu Yi meant.

"But that's the intention." Liu Yi did not hide it and nodded, "Can there be troops in Chaoyang?"

"But there are garrisons. Although the lower officials knew each other, they had no friendship. However, the Chaoyang Gun-e-chief Li Gun was a fellow villager, and they were both from Niryang. Here we can try to convince this person to come and join us." Xinye Ling said with a smile.

"That's going to be a blessing." Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. The love between fellow countrymen in this era was really great, and if he could directly bring back the other party's troops, it would be the best.

"It's not too late, let's set off tonight to see his attitude. If you don't want to surrender, you will come back. Is it safe?" Liu Yi looked at Shinno Ling and said with a smile. The rule of the two countries to fight for troops and not kill them. This is still relatively reliable in the past month. At least Liu Yi has been here for so long. Although there have been incidents of hostages, there are fewer cases of killing them, but we must not be careful.

"Don't worry, Marquis Ting!" Xinye Ling said confidently: "I have a good relationship with Li Gun. Even if he refuses, he will definitely not harm my life!"

Liu Yi nodded and ordered someone to release Xinye from the city.

In the evening that night, Liu Yi was sent to inform Guan Yu and Wu Ban to come back. Guan Yu and Wu Ban's troops were in this area, less than fifty miles away from Xinye and would arrive tomorrow, which made Liu Yi slightly relieved.

As long as Guan Yu arrives, the battlefield can be handed over to him. He ordered people to inform Wu Ban that he would not use Xinye to go directly to Chaoyang. If the Chaoyang defender is willing to surrender, it is naturally the best. If he does not want to, he will directly attack the city, and there are only hundreds of defenders on both sides. The troops in Wu Ban's hands should be enough to break Chaoyang.

...

Just as Liu Yi was sending people to inform all the troops to gather in Xiangyang, Cao Cao, who was far away in Wancheng, also received urgent information sent by Cao Ren. Liu Bei's army captured Xinye, Xiangxiang, Zhangling and other counties south of Xinye, and surrendered to Liu Bei, which was quite unfavorable to Cao's army.

"Xinye...Huyang...Pingshi..." Cao Cao looked at the map and frowned: "In addition, Zhuyang, this Nanyang land has lost eight cities in this half month!"

With some dissatisfaction in his tone, Liu Bei has become more and more rampant over the years.

"King of Wei!" Cheng Yu frowned and said, "When Xinye lost, Liu Bei's purpose was clear. He did not want to fight our army in a decisive battle, but to incite the rebellion of the gentry and gentry in the rear of Nanyang!"

Xinye has a special status. In the hub area between Nanyang and Xiangyang, Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye and guarding against Cao Cao. Therefore, if Cao's army wants to attack Xiangyang, it must pass Xinye. On the other hand, Liu Bei wants to advance to Nanyang and also want to take Xinye. Before, because Xiangxiang, Zhangling and other places have not been lost, the importance of Xinye has not been highlighted. In addition, Liu Bei's full-faced fighting style is extremely confusing, and ignores the importance of Xinye. Now that Xinye is broken, several counties in the southeast have fallen, and suddenly, the importance of Xinye is highlighted.

Those who can see this are not only Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, and the gentry and wealthy families in Nanyang, but also can see this. Liu Bei's battle was second to attack the city. The most important thing is to shake the hearts of the people in Nanyang, and their hearts are extremely vicious.

Cao Cao felt his head start to hurt again. It was really painful, and he held his head: "Where did Hua Tuo go?"

"I have never found his whereabouts." Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with some concern.

"Look for it again!" Cao Cao sighed, endured his headache, and looked at the map and said: "Each city will send more troops to inform Gongming to reorganize the army to go south and order the two generals Cao Xiu and Cao Chun to lead their troops to Xinye to advance and meet with Zixiao!"

"Here!"
