"What's the matter, with Wu Zixu's strength, he shouldn't be able to withstand it so soon......"

The potter's brows condensed slightly, and he snatched the information from the scout's hand, and when he looked closely, a trace of surprise flashed in the eagle's eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that the problem was not the Yangtze River line that was attacked from both sides, but the Wancheng line guarded by Lian Poyang.

According to the military intelligence claim, Cao Cao invented a powerful "rotary trebuchet" with a skillful craftsman, which can continuously fire ten stone bullets in one breath.

Although the power of Qin Jun's new trebuchet was slightly weaker than the Heavenly Thunder Cannon improved by Lu Ban, the firing rate was increased by ten times.

Cao Cao relied on this new type of rotary trebuchet to blast several counties northwest of Wancheng one after another, and Zhou Yafu Lianpo and Yang Youji lost thousands of soldiers, and had to shrink their forces to the first line of Wancheng.

Zhou Yafu claimed in the urgent report that although the walls of Wancheng were strong, the Qin army's new trebuchet was too powerful, and he was no longer absolutely sure that Wancheng would not be lost.

"Ma Jun, this king has forgotten that there are also such skilled craftsmen in the Qin Kingdom......" The potter sighed with emotion, and showed the information to Zhang Liang and other advisers.

When all the strategists saw this urgent report, they all changed color and their emotions immediately became solemn.

"I don't want the Qin army to be able to create such a new weapon, if Wancheng is lost, Jingzhou's road to the Central Plains will be cut off, it seems that we must quickly break Liu Bei, and then we can quickly return to the south to save Wancheng." Zhang Liang said in a solemn tone.

Su Qin said: "Liu Bei's army is 80,000, and there are Wuhuan cavalry to help, if you want to break quickly, how easy is it!" ”

Zhang Liang was speechless for a while, and for a while, there seemed to be no way to crack it.

At this time, Zhang Yi also sighed: "I only hate Sun Ce's house, and contain our 100,000 troops, if we can destroy Wu first, and then go north to attack Yan, even if Cao Cao has a weapon to break the city, we have enough troops to increase the defense of Nanyang, why are we so passive." ”

"Quickly break Liu Bei's ......"

The potter reined in the war horse, stopped on the high slope, raised his eyes and looked at the direction of Youzhou, his sword eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was silent.

What you see in front of you is the Great Plain of Hebei Province, except for a few small hills that you occasionally see, the rest are boundless fields.

In this environment, the cavalry can gallop at will, and if the battle is slightly unfavorable, they can scatter and flee, and then scatter and reunite, and it is not easy to break Liu Bei quickly.

Moreover, Liu Bei already has Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi as a plot, and he will be very cautious in using troops, and it is almost impossible to use the same means as he used to deal with Liu Bei before to induce Liu Bei to be fooled and induce his soldiers and horses to gather and annihilate.

"Jingzhou is in danger and has to be saved, but how can I break Liu Bei quickly?"

The potter's sword eyebrows were deep, and he was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he had already thought of an idea.

"Hehe, Liu Bei, this time, Lao Tzu see where you are still fleeing......" The potter sneered secretly, and his heroic face quietly swept up a fierce and cold killing machine.

……

Seven days later, the potters ordered Gao Shun and other border generals in the northern cities of Lunu to abandon their fortifications and begin to retreat south.

In the course of seven days, the Wei military palace abandoned Lunu, Anguo, Raoyang, Quyang and other roads, and Anping, Zhongshan, Hejian and other northern Hebei counties, almost without any decent resistance, so they were handed over to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's 80,000-foot cavalry army, almost effortlessly, entered Jizhou, drove straight in, and went straight to Yejing.

Although the potters abandoned the northern counties, because Liu Bei's eyes were to break through Yejing and seize the whole of Hebei, he only captured the cities of Lunu abandoned by the potters on the way south, and as for the rest of the large cities, they did not send troops to attack.

Liu Bei has only one goal - Ye Jing!

The strategy of retreating without a fight naturally aroused the deep dissatisfaction of the generals, and the generals objected to the potters from time to time, asking the potters to order the retreat to stop and fight to the death with the Yan army.

It is no wonder that over the years, the Great Wei army has won consecutive battles, and it is afraid of the princes along the way.

At present, although Liu Bei's strength is strong, he is also evenly matched with the Wei army, in this case, he should adopt the tactics of rejecting the enemy from the country, how can he let Liu Bei ride and trample on the territory of the Great Wei.

However, despite the opposition of the generals, the potter forcibly ordered the troops to retreat with his own authority and led Liu Bei south.

He wanted to lead Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, to the decisive place he had chosen.

On the 10th, the army of potters retreated to the north of Julu County, the first line of Yang's City.

At this point, the potter officially ordered the armies to stop retreating and set up camp on the spot.

That night, the potters drank wine and meat, rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and let the soldiers rest for a good night.

The next day, before dawn, the potter ordered an army of 120,000 to leave the camp and line up ten miles north of Yang's city, posing as a decisive battle with the enemy.

……

The sun rises in the east, the golden glow dyes the vast Hebei Plain red, and as far as the eye can see, countless Great Wei battle flags, like waves, are rolling and flying in the sky.

100,000 halberds formed an boundless blade forest, and the strong light reflected by the cold front almost blocked out the morning light.

More than 100,000 soldiers, arrayed in the wilderness, more than ten miles long from east to west, looking down from the sky, like a great wall of steel made of black iron.

That's an army of more than 100,000 people, and for the first time since the beginning of the army, the potters have led such an order of magnitude of soldiers and horses to have a head-on decisive battle with the enemy.

I'm afraid that this is also the largest battle of the soldiers of Jiguandu.

100,000 soldiers, silent, like lifeless terracotta warriors, giving people a frightening sense of slaughter.

The young faces were burning with more and more vigorous fighting spirit, and in their eyes, the killing intent was surging, and the fighting spirit was like madness.

100,000 soldiers, fighting spirit like iron.

Left and right under his command, Xiang Yu, Meng Tian and other generals also held their weapons tightly, and boiling blood flowed in their eyebrows, all of them were full of ambition and fierceness, and they couldn't wait to use a big killing ring to wash away the raging war in their chests.

In the Chinese army, under the banner of the king of Great Wei, the potter sat on the crotch of the big black war horse, dragged the cyan war knife obliquely, and the eagle eyes were like blades, always staring straight ahead.

In his eyes, there was a bit of mystery in his confidence and determination.

"Liu Bei, the sleeve has been set for you, this time, it depends on whether you can take the bait......" The corners of the potter's mouth quietly swept up a hideous sneer.

……

Just when the 120,000 Wei troops were waiting in formation, the north was up, and the 80,000 Yan army was also rolling south.

Countless iron riders, with the power of crushing the earth, rushed all the way south, rolling up the wild dust in the sky, almost obscuring the sun in the sky.

Surrounded by the army, Liu Bei, dressed in golden armor, had high morale and was glorious, and his gray face was full of unprecedented self-confidence, even spring breeze.

It's no wonder that for so many years, he has been abused by potters, repeatedly defeated, and suffered.

Today, he led such a mighty army southward, and finally frightened the potter, forcing the boy to retreat again and again, not daring to confront him head-on.

For the first time in many years, Liu Bei began to fight with the potter, how could this not make him excited and proud, and he breathed a bad breath.

Just when the spring breeze was proud, a scout Pegasus came and shouted: "Report to the king, the pottery merchant led more than 100,000 main troops, and the whole division was arrayed ten miles away. ”

Decisive battle?

Hearing this, Liu Bei's expression was excited, and his gray face immediately burned with an impatient killing machine.

"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu still wishes that the pottery thief will fight with us, this is just right, my Dayan 80,000 iron horseman, just in one go, to destroy the pottery thief here!" Zhang Fei was the first to shout excitedly.

The rest of the generals of the Yan army were also excited, shouting for a decisive battle with the potters.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Liu Bei's gaze turned to Zhuge Liang beside him.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said calmly: "The pottery thief has always been treacherous, we must guard against his fraud, Liang thinks, we must first find out the enemy's troop configuration, battlefield terrain and environment, all clearly, to ensure that the pottery thief has no fraud to use, before we can make a decision." ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again, thinking that although he now has strength and is full of self-confidence, he still doesn't dare to underestimate the potter, he can't forget the heel he has planted here in the potter over the years, and he doesn't dare to fight rashly.

So Liu Bei immediately ordered the army to stop advancing first, and sent hundreds of scouts to reconnoiter the Wei army.

Just before noon, the scouts sent back detailed information.

The 120,000 main forces of the Wei army have indeed been arrayed, and there is no trace of ambush soldiers within a radius of twenty or thirty miles.

As for the allocation of the Wei army, in addition to the 10,000 cavalry, the rest of the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are all infantry troops, and the army must be equipped with strong bows and crossbows, as for what other sharp weapons are hidden, it is unknown.

The terrain of the battlefield chosen by the potters is more than 20 miles wide from east to west, and there are gradually mountain peaks on both sides, although the terrain is not as open as elsewhere, but the width of more than 20 miles is enough for cavalry to gallop.

"Strategist, do you think the pottery thief is cheating?" Liu Bei listened to the scout's report, and his tone was already a little impatient.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said: "Judging from the superficial situation, the pottery thief really can't toss any tricks this time, but it can't be easily made and decided, after all, the pottery thief is too cunning, this thief will not fight the battle that he is not sure of, but now he wants to fight a decisive battle with us......"

Seeing Zhuge Liang's hesitation, Zhang Fei became impatient and shouted: "I said military advisor, whether to fight with the pottery thief or not, you should give a happy word!" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhuge Liang in unison.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, took a light breath, and said: "Liang thinks that this is a rare opportunity in a lifetime, and it cannot be easily given up. ”

"The military advisor is reasonable, the pottery thief is cunning, and he should not be taken lightly, but how can this king give up such a good opportunity!"

Liu Bei nodded heavily, raised his whip and shouted happily: "Pass the order, the whole army will continue to advance, close the enemy position for this king, and fight to the death with the pottery thief!" ”
