"Oh no, General Zhang, it's not good."

"General Zhang, tens of thousands of people are attacking our Chen Liucheng."

The defenders on the city wall came in a panic to report the news.

"What? Tens of thousands? Where did the tens of thousands come from? ”

"That's right, there are battle flags everywhere, with the Ninth Army and Zhang Guang written on them, as well as stone-throwing vehicles and siege crossbows, and the city is about to be broken."

"Zhang Guang? Zhang Guang, are you attacking the city? Do you want to rebel while the lord is away? Xiahoudun yelled at Zhang Guang, who was still fighting with the remaining more than three hundred masters.

"Xiahoudun, I think you are Cao Cao's subordinate general, I have been letting you, if you insist on taking care of this matter, don't blame me for even killing you."

"Okay, you led your troops to attack the main city-state first, and now you want to destroy me, the Taishou of the Eastern County, I want to see how you want to destroy me, archer, prepare."

Xiahoudun is preparing to shoot Zhang Guang and Dian Wei.

"Kill!"

"Lord, Gan Ning is here!"

More than 400 people from the reconnaissance battalion and the guard company fought into the courtyard from outside the house.

"Gan Ning, Xiahoudun's 2,000 elite soldiers, and Zhang Miao's masters in the mansion, all of them were wiped out by me, and not a single one was left."

What is a real carnage?

At this time, Xiahoudun knew that the so-called elite soldiers of his subordinates were vulnerable in front of the elite of the Ninth Army.

plus the two fierce generals Dian Wei and Gan Ning, two thousand elite soldiers and those masters in the palace who were still alive, none of them were spared, and all of them were killed.

Zhang Guang dragged the blood-drenched spear and approached Zhang Miao and Xiahoudun step by step.

Zhang Miao kept retreating towards the hall.

Xiahoudun is courageous, he can't beat Dian Wei, and he can't beat you as a fortune teller.

Pick up the gun.

A shot was picked up by Zhang Guang and flew the spear.

After another shot, Zhang Guang directly flew him out of the courtyard and flew out of the high courtyard wall.

"General Zhang Guang, spare your life!"

"General Zhang Guang, we are all General Cao's subordinates, spare our lives."

Zhang Miao actually knelt down with a flutter, and didn't call Zhang Guang and Brother Meng De directly.

"As I said, if you hurt the old blacksmith, you will hurt yourself, and if you hurt my brother, you will cut off your arm."

"Ahh

Zhang Guang didn't keep his hand, and with Zhang Miao's painful cry, the hamstring of his right leg was picked, and his right arm was cut off.

"Brother Wei Zhen, welcome to the fortune-telling noodle shop!"

"Withdraw!"

Clean and neat.

After Zhang Guang achieved his goal, he stopped pestering and quickly retreated.

and Pang Tong outside the city combined with the inside and outside of the city, and took down Zhang Miao's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhang Miao didn't wait for his injuries to heal, and took his soldiers and horses with his own soldiers and horses, and hurriedly moved the Taishou Mansion to Xiangyi City.

Xiahoudun was thrown half to death by Zhang Guang and returned to Dongjun alone.

"Big brother, if Cao Cao learns about this and leads his troops to kill the generals, what should we do?" Pang Tong asked.

"Regardless of him, if he wants me to keep him in Chen, he will naturally be able to distinguish between right and wrong, otherwise, we will leave, the world is big, and there is a place for the Ninth Army."

For the sake of the old blacksmith and his subordinates, Zhang Guang took Dian Wei alone to break into the Taishou Mansion, which quickly spread.

The people of the Ninth Army are glad that they have followed such a good lord.

Many talented people also began to inquire about Zhang Guang and the situation of the Ninth Army.

An old blacksmith can get such good treatment, who doesn't want to choose a good wood to live in?

As the fame spread, many strong young people in the vicinity took the initiative to come to Chen Liucheng and asked to join the Ninth Army.

It didn't take long for Zhang Guang's Ninth Army to expand to tens of thousands.

They are all the elites personally selected by Pang Tong, Gan Ning and others.

With the experience of the past, Zhang Miao did not dare to deduct the food and salary that should be given to the Ninth Army, and delivered it on time every month according to the quota of 20,000 people.

The matter between Zhang Guang and Zhang Miao soon reached the ears of Cao Cao, who was fighting in Qingzhou.

"Xun Yu, what do you think of this matter?"

"Lord, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Tell me more."

"With such a show, in the future, Zhang Miao and Xiahoudun will become Zhang Guang's constraints, and for the lord, they check and balance each other, which is not necessarily a bad thing."

"That's right, as long as Zhang Guang is indeed guarding Chen for Cao Cao, that's fine."

Cao Cao was laughing in his heart, with you Zhang Miao, you also want to fight with my brother Zhang Guang?

"Inform me that the best Jincang medicine will be sent to Zhang Miao's mansion to show appeasement."

Cao Cao's move was tantamount to acquiescing to Zhang Guang's actions, and he was not held accountable for his killing of 2,000 elite soldiers under Xiahoudun.

Zhang Guang's status in the minds of Cao Jun's generals has risen a lot.

Zhang Guang is no longer just a fortune teller.

Or a person who can take the lives of thousands of masters for a small soldier of the Ninth Army.

After the old blacksmith recovered from his injuries, he no longer refused Zhang Guang's retention, and stayed in Zhang Guang's garrison mansion.

"Old blacksmith, is there any way to improve this siege crossbow?"

Zhang Guang was overjoyed when he saw that the old blacksmith agreed to stay, and pulled the old blacksmith to study the siege crossbow.

It is said to be a strong crossbow, and it is indeed strong enough.

The body is all wooden, weighing as much as a thousand pounds, and it is all driven by the heavy wooden wheels underneath.

On it is a bow and crossbow that is nearly a foot long, and it takes two people to cooperate to buckle a long arrow.

The arrow is one zhang long and has a range of more than 100 zhang, which can penetrate the general city gate, but has a certain lethality.

But compared with the siege ballistae and repeaters made by Zhuge Liang later, it is far behind.

Zhang Guang used the principle of levers, as well as riveting, inlay and other techniques, with the exquisite skills of the old blacksmith.

Improved the Stone-throwing Carts and Siege Crossbows into iron Stone-throwing Cranes and Siege Crossbows.

It weighs only more than 300 catties and can be disassembled.

Iron, which can throw fireballs and rockets.

The ballista can shoot ten arrows in a row, and it is extremely convenient to load arrows.

The firing range is more than 500 meters.

It has become the two major killers of the Ninth Army.

Zhang Guang asked Gan Ning to open the wall of his courtyard, which contained tens of thousands of gold.

Coupled with the iron and bronze tools looted all the way from Qingzhou, Zhang Guang began to build weapons on a large scale.

The carpenters, blacksmiths and others of the Ninth Army all gathered together and became the old blacksmith's helpers.

One lightweight, sturdy armor after another.

Sharp spear after spear.

There is also an arm crossbow for easy melee combat.

Horse pedals suitable for archery on the back of cavalry horses.

A horseshoe that facilitates long-distance travel of war horses.

A pike-cavalry brigade of three thousand people.

A siege brigade of 3,000 people.

A lightly armored archery brigade of 3,000 men.

A heavy armored broadsword brigade of 3,000 men.

A reconnaissance regiment of a thousand people.

Guard battalion of three hundred people.

Chen Liucheng has become an impregnable wall.

Yuan Shu and Liu Biao in the south, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu in the west, Cao Cao no longer worries.

Because in Chen Liucheng, there is a Zhang Guang who can tell fortunes and lead troops.

Cao Cao's campaign in Qingzhou was also smooth, and Zhang Xiao's remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were driven all the way to Jibei.

Further north, it is Yuan Shao's Jizhou.

Nearly 300,000 Yellow Turban Army and more than 100,000 civilians attached to the Yellow Turban Army were captured, and Cao Cao organized the elite of them into the Qingzhou Army.

300,000 Qingzhou troops, plus tens of thousands of tiger and leopard cavalry elites.

Cao Cao has truly become a tyrant that no one dares to despise anymore.
