I had been seriously ill for several days, but my condition was completely gone.
My thinking is a bit confusing and I'm adjusting.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the foot of Yiyang City, Cao Jun was ready to attack.
The armored arrow formation composed of three thousand people, with the rumbling drums of war, fired thousands of arrows. Buzz... Three thousand powerful crossbow strings trembled, and three thousand sharp arrows soared into the sky, straight into the sky. The overwhelming locusts roared.
It came and covered the sky and the sun, which was shocking.
Liu Pan yelled: "Steady, steady!"
The soldiers on the top of the city held their shields high and tried their best to block the incoming arrows.
But even so, the dense rain of arrows still caused a large number of casualties. Cao Jun's arrow array was suffocating. In just one afternoon, at least one hundred thousand eagle-feather arrows flew into the city, causing huge damage to the defenders in the city.
The most terrifying thing was that Cao Jun's arrows seemed to be endless. In these five or six days, hundreds of thousands of scissors were fired into the city. Faced with such a fierce arrow array attack, although Liu Pan could
He relied on the Yiyang City Wall to hold on, but the number of casualties incurred every day made him feel frightened.
Damn you, Thief Cao, where did you get so many arrows?
Could it be that they brought all Jiangling’s arsenal here?
Liu Biao had been in Jingzhou for more than ten years. Except for the first few years, he rarely used troops and horses. However, he did not relax his military preparations and kept an astonishing number of arrows. However, most of the arrows at that time were used in Jiangxia.
The war with Jiangdong. After Huang Zu's death, the two sides gradually became peaceful, and naturally there was less consumption. Cao Jun's crazy attack with arrow arrays made Liu Pan even think that Cao Jun had moved all the arrows from Jiangling's arsenal to
Yiyang.
However, Liu Pan felt strange again.
In addition to attacking the city with arrow formations, Cao Jun did not invest manpower in a forceful attack.
Logically speaking, after the arrow formation, there must be a strong attack. However, Cao Jun changed this pattern and repeatedly attacked with arrow formation, which gave Liu Pan a headache.
"General, look!"
A pro-soldier suddenly shouted loudly.
Liu Pan looked in the direction of his finger and saw nearly a hundred strange-shaped crossbows launched from Cao's camp.
The crossbow was somewhat similar to a chariot crossbow, but it was larger. The crossbow arrows used were all standard spears with one shot and three arrows, and they were quickly laid out in front of the formation. The arrow formation suddenly stopped, but Liu Pan
The pressure in my heart has not reduced at all...
Pang De urged his horse to circle in front of the formation and shouted sternly: "Liu Pan, let me ask you again, will you surrender?"
Liu Pan's face turned livid and he glared at Pound. He wanted to rush out and fight to the death. However, he did not dare... On the first day of Pound's siege, he killed Liu Pan's general Gao Pei and other eight people in one day.
Liu Pan even led his troops to attack, but was almost killed by Pang De. If he hadn't been with him to protect him to the death, he might have died outside the city. This guy is a fierce general, and he has the courage to be unstoppable by thousands of people.
Of Liu Bei's generals, it is estimated that only Guan Zhang can win, and the rest are no match for him.
I don’t know where Cao Peng recruited so many good players!
If Huang Hansheng were here, why should I fear him?
Liu Pan thought of Huang Zhong at this time and couldn't help feeling regretful.
When Huang Zhong surrendered to Cao Peng, Liu Pan was very angry with Huang Zhong. But later he inquired about the situation and found out that Liu Hu had been suppressing Huang Zhong and almost killed Huang Zhong. In the end, Huang Zhong surrendered to Cao Peng. As a last resort, Huang Zhong surrendered to Cao Peng. Early
Knowing this, I shouldn't have listened to Li Gui and Li Wende and sent Han Sheng to Liu Juyan. This guy is obviously an incompetent bastard, and I have lost a general in vain.
"You dare to be so arrogant as a dog thief, but you know that we in Jingzhou only have generals who have their heads cut off and no generals who surrender."
Liu Pan was also an arrogant person who cursed loudly.
Pang De sneered, "In this case, when the city is destroyed, Yiyang will not be left alone!"
After saying that, he raised his Tiger Roaring Saber high and slashed forward, "Fire the arrow!"
Eighty eight-oxen crossbows came out, and eighty spears and spears roared out. The spears and spears carried huge power, and they made a roaring sound, and they shot hard on the city wall made of rammed earth in Yiyang. Standing there
At the top of the city, Liu Pan could even clearly feel the trembling of the city wall under his feet. Every spear penetrated the city wall fiercely, leaving only half of his body exposed. In the blink of an eye, the Yiyang city wall was shot into a hedgehog-like shape, trembling slightly.
non-stop.
The soldiers on the city were panicked, and Liu Pan's face became even paler.
On a mound not far away from Yiyang City, Taishi Ci watched the battle with his face as sinking as water.
Due to the failure of the Dongting Lake Water Battle, Taishi Ci was at a disadvantage. He led his troops to help Yiyang, but stopped thirty miles east of Yiyang City. Using his explanation to Liu Bei: I will put pressure on Cao Jun.
But I can't really send troops. As for whether I can contain Cao Jun, I can't guarantee it. This is all I can do, and I ask for your forgiveness.
There is no other way. Without the protection of the navy, Cao's army may attack across the lake at any time and approach Luo County.
On the one hand, Taishi Ci had to assist Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he had to take care of himself. At the same time, he could not anger Cao Cao too much, especially before Sun Quan expressed his attitude. He had too many concerns. To be able to do this, he was still in his own family.
When facing danger, he still led his troops to Yiyang. Regardless of whether he participated in the war or not, this attitude was enough! Taishi Ci and Liu Bei had a relationship, so he helped whenever he could.
This Taishi Ci is from Donglai!
In his early years, when Kong Rong was studying under Taishi Ci, he took great care of Taishi Ci's mother.
Later, Guan Hai's troops invaded Beihai, and Kong Rong asked Taishi Ci to find reinforcements. Taishi Ci found Liu Bei. Later, they drove away Guan Hai and relieved the crisis in Beihai. But Liu Bei did not recruit Taishi Ci for unknown reasons.
, so that Taishi Ci later went to Yangzhou to serve Liu Yao. In any case, the two had fought side by side, and they had some friendship. This time Taishi Ci was able to send troops to benefit Yang, and it was precisely for this reason. At the same time, Taishi Ci also hoped
Take this opportunity to take a look at the actual situation of Cao Jun.
"Is that the Eight Ox Crossbow?"
"It is also called Yueying Liannu... but in Cao Jun, more people call it Gongzi Liannu. It is said that it was jointly created by Cao Peng and his wife Huang Yueying."
Yu Fan quickly explained.
Taishi Ci asked again: "Wen Xiang, when you had a water battle with Cao Jun in Dongting, was this kind of repeating crossbow they used?"
Xu Sheng quickly replied: "It's somewhat similar, but it seems to be a little different... There was a fight that night, and the incident happened so suddenly that I couldn't really see clearly."
"Try to get a repeating crossbow as soon as possible and send it back to ask someone to develop it.
Damn it, the lethality of this thing is so amazing. It can even penetrate rammed earth... Thanks to the thickness of the Yiyang city wall, otherwise it would have to be blown down by them. If this thing is used on a ship, it will be extremely powerful.
Once Cao Jun and Cao Jun are sailing, they only need to install ten repeating crossbows on each ship to cause huge damage to us... Zhong Xiang, inform Gong Jin of this situation as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci nodded and said nothing.
Yu Fan and Xu Sheng also showed bitter smiles.
The battle in Dongting brought them all to a disadvantage. The most hateful thing was that after Cao Peng captured Zhou Tai, he refused to release him... Yu Fan went to Hanshou to intercede, but he didn't even see Cao Peng's face.
.The courtesy I received last time is completely the same as in heaven and on earth.
No wonder, they were the first to start the battle in Dongting.
But the one who won in the end was Cao Peng...
This made Yu Fan lose his confidence, and he couldn't blame Cao Peng for being rude.
Fortunately, Zhang Song, the envoy sent by Cao Peng to meet Yu Fan, said: "There is no faith in Jiangdong today, which really makes my son uneasy.
Most of the governors went on an expedition during the holidays, and the governor of Jingnan was to seek rebellion from heaven. Jingnan was originally under the rule of the imperial court, so it was reasonable for us to attack Yiyang. What does it have to do with you Jiangdong? You wanted to start a war, but now you have been defeated.
He is a prisoner and you want us to release him? It is unreasonable.
However, the governor had a good life and admired General Zhou Youping very much.
So please don’t worry about General Youping’s life. He will stay in Hanshou for a while. When things calm down, he will be sent back naturally..."
linger?
To put it bluntly, they just let Zhou Tai be a hostage.
Yu Fan was kicked out of Hanshou without even seeing Zhou Tai's face.
This also made Taishi Ci feel a little more worried.
Fortunately, after Cao Cao's naval victory at Dongting Lake, they did not advance further and attack Boluoyuan. However, the danger still existed, so Taishi Ci took action.
"wrong!"
Taishi Ci suddenly said to himself.
"Ziyi, what's wrong?"
"Zhong Xiang, Wen Xiang...don't you think it's a little weird?"
"What's weird."
Taishi Ci pointed to the Yiyang battlefield, "Since Cao's army besieged the city, they have been attacking with arrow arrays. Now, they are attacking with the young master's crossbows, but they have not yet attacked the city. In these days, they have shot hundreds of thousands of arrows at Yiyang.
support, but did not invest any troops...
Why do I feel that Cao Peng's actions are not really to attack Yiyang, but have ulterior motives?"
"What's the purpose?"
"I can't tell... By the way, Cao Jun is still recruiting more troops?"
"Yes, every morning, you can see Cao's army stationed in Cao's camp. Moreover, the area of Cao's camp is also constantly expanding... I estimate that there are at least more than 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered under Yiyang City."
"But those are the ones who attack the city every day!"
Taishi Ci frowned and shook his head repeatedly, "No, there must be something wrong here... Cao Peng didn't want to attack Yiyang, but I'm afraid that the number of troops in Cao's camp is not as large as we thought. Cao Cao has many troops in Jingnan
With the exception of the Yidao and Yiling schools, the other six schools should take turns to fight. Why is it that Pang De and Pang Lingming appear at the city gate every day?"
Yu Fan's heart suddenly shook.
"Ziyi means..."
"Cao Peng, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives!"
In front of Yu Fan's eyes, a face that always had a gentle smile suddenly appeared.
He didn't have much face-to-face contact with Cao Peng, and there was only one real contact... that time, it always made him feel that Cao Peng was a somewhat simple guy. But now, Yu Fan felt that there
Beneath the simple and gentle smile, there is a deep thought hidden.
"I think, Ziyi, you'd better remind Uncle Liu Huang."
"kindness?"
"If my guess is correct, what Cao Peng did this time was not Yiyang, but... turned against the guests, diverted the tiger away from the mountain, and attacked the east. What a thirty-six strategy, what a Cao Youxue. He wanted to cut off Uncle Liu Huang in Jingnan
Arms, Wuxi Man, are in danger!"
"Wuximan?"
Taishi Ci was startled when he heard this, and then his expression changed drastically.
"As Zhong Xiang said, could it be that what Cao Peng really wants to deal with is the Wuxi barbarians?"
