"Liu Bei actually replied?"

Yan Rou's surprise when he received Liu Bei's reply was no less than Liu Bei's surprise when he received Yan Rou's reply.

Because Yan Rou also didn't have much expectations for Liu Bei's plan, he used this plan at the beginning, and the original intention was to prove his innocence and survive under the blade of Nanlou.

As long as he proves that he is willing to help Nanlou deceive Liu Bei, even if the final result is not deceived, it doesn't matter.

"Liu Bei, this won't be pretending to be stupid, just calculating, right?" This was the first thought that Yan Rou had when she unfolded the letter.

This mille-feuille has reached the fourth layer.

From Liu Bei pretending to want to deceive him, he actually wanted Nanlou to kill him;

and then he pretended to be deceived by Liu Bei;

and then Liu Bei pretended to be deceived by his anti-deception......

Yan Rou's current realm should be on the fourth layer.

But is Liu Bei's realm on the first floor, the third floor, or the fifth floor?

Yan Rou carefully read the reply and felt that Liu Bei should only be on the third layer, one level lower than him.

"Hmm...... Liu Bei also doubted that since I proposed to dedicate the door, but did not give any nomination, he asked me to cash in some benefits first, such as letting him destroy the moat, the sheep and horse wall, and the refusal of the horse and thistle, and even the excuse of why I 'failed to stop' prevaricating the difficult building helped me think of it:

It was because the Han army's newly built well chariot was higher than the city wall, which could suppress the crossbowmen at the head of the city, so that the crossbowmen did not dare to show their heads to counterattack the construction enemy soldiers below who destroyed the city defense facilities...... From this point of view, Liu Bei is very fine, and he is really ready to see my sincerity. ”

That's it, in order to show sincerity, let's express it by half-pushing and half-conniving at Liu Bei's destruction of the city's defense facilities!

……

The day after Yan Rou received the reply, the Han army launched a new offensive, and after a few days of rushing work, the Han army built two five-zhang high wells, which were already much higher than the city wall of Changli City, which was less than two zhang.

Each well was tightly shielded, crowded with a dozen marksmen, taking turns to release arrows downward. This time, the rebels' defensive firepower weakened all at once.

"Strategist! The Han archers are much taller than us, and we can't hurt the people on the well by throwing them! The hole is too small for an arrow to get through the hole!

Moreover, although the number of people in the Han army was small, Liu Bei selected the elite and best marksmen in the army, almost one arrow was accurate, and the brothers did not dare to show their heads and let go of the arrows! ”

Soon, the officers defending the city came to complain to Yan Rou.

Yan Rou didn't know how to counter Jing Yan very well, not to mention that in order to win Liu Bei's trust, he broke the jar even more, so he said confidently: "This thing is a number of siege weapons in the Central Plains, and it's not a shame if you don't know how to crack it, I can't crack it, these two days will shrink back and defend, as long as they don't hit the door and don't go to the city, let it go first!" ”

The rebel officers were very unwilling, but there was nothing they could do.

This kind of artifact, you can't blame anyone if you can't crack it, right?

After two days of destruction, Yan Rou finally fulfilled the sincerity that Liu Bei asked him to express, and that night, it was finally time to make an appointment to dedicate the door.

Liu Bei asked him to open the city gate in the middle of the night and let the main cavalry of the Han army enter the city.

Of course, Yan Rou immediately offered Liu Bei's request to Nanlou.

"Okay, the military advisor is really loyal to my uncle and me, as long as the vanguard of the Han cavalry is annihilated tonight, even if Liu Bei can't be killed, you and I will never doubt each other!" Nanlou laughed and patted Yan Rou's shoulder heavily.

Yan Rou smiled bitterly and asked: "Then when the time comes, how many Han cavalry pioneers will be allowed to enter the city?" Is it two thousand rides, or a thousand rides? Five hundred rides? If there are too many, I am afraid that even if the jack gate is closed, the defenders in the city will not be able to kill so many enemy horsemen. ”

Nanlou scratched his beard, a little unwillingly: "Killing only five hundred Han horsemen must be too little, and it is not worth the value of the moat and sheep and horse wall that have been filled in by the Han army in the past few days." Two thousand horsemen can't be killed.

You can do it yourself, let a thousand riders in at most, and then slam the door decisively. By the way, on the inside of the city gate, why hasn't a simple inner urn city been piled up yet? How did you defend the city? ”

As Nanlou spoke, a reproach suddenly popped up.

Yan Rou smiled bitterly: "I want to too, but Liu Bei came up with an acting that Jing Yan suppressed, so I pretended not to dare to obstruct and win his trust." The wells are high and high, and all the fortifications on the inside of the city gate can be seen, so they can't be fooled.

Fortunately, it is getting late today, and from now until the third watch, we still have more than two hours to dig the pit and build a wall behind the pit with the excavated soil. It would be nice if Liu Bei attacked in the early morning, and we could have two and a half more hours to build. ”

Nanlou slapped his thigh: "Then don't hurry up the construction!" The soldiers of the whole city came to dig a temporary pit inside the north gate! ”

……

Three watches in the middle of the night.

Zhao Yun took 2,000 cavalry and came to the north gate two miles outside the north gate as a vanguard.

Guan Yu also secretly followed behind with three thousand "mounted infantry".

The reason why it is called "horse infantry" is because these 3,000 people relied on the horses that had just been captured from the king of Nanqiao more than half a month ago, and they were not equipped with horses.

It can only be said that the horse is used as a tool for traveling, and it is more convenient to dismount and fight on foot when it is really time to engage in battle.

Dian Wei also brought a dozen cavalrymen, each of whom took a one-inch thick iron rod with forked ends at both ends, and prepared to use it as a door-carrying operation team - these iron rods were not the circular section that Li Su had expected at the beginning, but a square section, because it was too laborious to round the iron rod, and since it was only for support, it was easier for the blacksmith to quickly process it by simply forging it with an iron hammer.

At the same time, hemp rope was also tightly wound around the iron rods intended to be used as horizontal bars to ensure that the gates were cushioned and absorbed when they fell, so as not to fall over. The bifurcated joints between the iron rods will also be tied tightly with hemp rope at that time, forming a stable structure of triangular force, and two more sets of backups will be brought just in case - these details do not need to be explained by Li Su, the old craftsmen in the camp still have common sense of basic building structure, and they know how to carry the city gate if they know how to erect the beams.

Zhao Yun, who was covered in steel armor and iron armor, came to the city, pretended to shoot a not-so-loud chirp at the city head to say hello, and then shouted in a suppressed voice: "The prince sent me to meet the Yan military division!" Open the gates! ”

The city gate opened immediately, and after Zhao Yun slowly entered the city with about one or two hundred horsemen, Dian Wei's people also mixed in Zhao Yun's team and walked under the city gate.

But what is different from the others is that after they arrived at the city gate, they carried weapons and iron rods and jumped off their horses, searched carefully above their heads, and soon found the hole where the jack gate was placed, and then set up several iron rods "double bars" that could block the trajectory of the jack gate along the wall, and tied them tightly with thick hemp rope, and wasted some time before and after.

After doing all this, Zhao Yunbu only slowly and cautiously entered the city for three or four hundred horses.

Hearing the whistle of a bird like a baton behind him, Zhao Yun knew that Dian Wei had already set it up, so he ordered the troops to speed up their march into the city.

"Put the floodgates!" Yan Rou on the city tower saw that Zhao Yun had already rushed deep, and they all approached the newly dug low wall on the inner side of the city gate, lest Zhao Yun occupy the low wall fortifications, so he had to order the gate to be released in advance.

His reaction was already a little slow, because Zhao Yun's speed was very slow at the beginning, and it was only after Dian Wei succeeded that he suddenly accelerated. Yan Rou didn't pay attention for a while, according to Zhao Yun's initial speed estimate, he thought that he could trap and kill two or three hundred more horsemen, but he was suddenly accelerated by Zhao Yun and approached the low wall that had just been piled up inside.

The rebel archers behind the low wall were ordered not to raise their heads when they heard the jack gate falling, so as not to frighten the enemy in advance and cause the enemy to retreat. Therefore, they did not know that the situation had changed, and they did not dare to commit the crime of shocking the enemy.

"Crunch~" A few sore teeth rubbed sounds, a jack gate formed by dozens of trees with a diameter of several feet at breast height, simply sharpened and nailed together with an iron chisel, fell heavily, and formed a violent impact with the "iron parallel bars", and stopped at least three meters high from the ground, and could not be put down again.

The crossbowmen behind the low wall were stunned, they had never said anything about this kind of accident after the explanation they had received before, I don't know if this was put down or not, whether Yan Rou had let go of half of it and stopped it by himself - because the machinery of the hinged gate on the city tower was a toothed chain structure, and the door could be actively put only half by pulling the chain.

As a result, Zhao Yun had already jumped over the low wall and entered close combat with the rebel archers.

Iron cavalry and archers hand-to-hand combat, what suspense can there be?

Almost instantly, hundreds of bloody arrows flew away, and the archers who were lying in ambush in Yan Rou's inner circle were scattered like the iron cavalry charging to chop melons and vegetables.

There are only archers left on the city wall, and they can also put a few waves of arrows to kill and wound some enemy soldiers.

But as the enemy army swarms up and climbs the walls from the inside, the end of the rebels at the head of the city will soon come.

"Put the floodgates! Let you put the floodgates! What's going on? "Yan Rou and Nanlou are going crazy.

Nanlou's pupils dilated and stared at Zhao Yun who had entered the city for a while, and then stared at Yan Rou with blood-red eyes and fierce eyes.

There are only three words written in his eyes: you! Perform! I!

"Shan Yu, I am not Liu Bei's inside, you should listen to my explanation...... Uhh......h

Until Yan Rou was killed, Nanlou still firmly believed that Yan Rou secretly did something when he put the gate and arranged the ambush, and he had actually been plotting with Liu Bei.

"Our warriors of the Wuhuan Department of Shanggu will never surrender easily, kill me!" At this point, Nanlou, who only had the courage of blood and strength, could only try to gather all his own soldiers, and drew his spear and saber to fight hand-to-hand with Zhao Yun who rushed into the city.

He knew that he himself would definitely not have a chance to be pardoned by Liu Bei in this situation, so it was better to fight hard and fight hard.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in his heart: "Me! Good! Hate! We are a barbarian, why were we deceived by Yan Rou into lard and played trickery with the Han people? Without the self-knowledge of being a barbarian, he really died unjustly. ”

Nanlou pulled out his iron saber, brandished a cold iron spear, surrounded by hundreds of his most confidant soldiers, yelling and raising his spear to take Zhao Yun.

"I'm Shanggu Wuhuan Shan in the difficult building, and I will die without a name!"

However, the self-reported door of the difficult building made Zhao Yun, who was calmly killing, feel a burst of excitement.

Is it actually single? Is it the new Shan Yu who came out to take over after he was beheaded by Brother Yun half a month ago?

That's great! This time, we finally have a chance to meet Shan Yu on the battlefield!

"Good come, I'm Changshan Zhao Zilong!" Of course, Zhao Yun also has to give face, so it is a necessary etiquette to report to his home before shooting.

Hundreds of horses staggered over the peak, and Nanlou and Zhao Yun, who were arrows on both sides, rushed head-on from both sides of the long street in the street battle, and soon smashed like waves on the reef and crushed together.

Driven by inertia, the body of the "Puff" Nanlou rushed out a dozen more steps, and then fell off the horse with empty eyes, as if he was still doubting the incredible hole on the side of his neck.

That night, the remnants of Shanggu Wuhuan were completely wiped out, and Shanggu Wuhuan was removed from the list of attached Hu departments canonized by the Han Dynasty.

Since then, the "three counties of Wuhuan" in Youzhou have only left the "two counties of Wuhuan".
