At the head of the city, Liu Bei and the others looked at the Ming army standing outside the city, and their eyes were full of complexity.

"Liu Bei!"

"Come out and talk about it!"

"I guarantee your safety!"

Gongsun Du ignored the obstruction of his subordinates and stepped forward to shout.

Without waiting for Liu Bei to make a choice, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped out to stop him: "Your Majesty, no!" ”

"Gongsun Du is brave and treacherous, invite Your Majesty to come forward, or have the intention of taking the opportunity to hold it hostage, please think twice!"

Huang Quan and others also persuaded: "What Lord Xu said is extremely true, please think twice about Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, and finally said: "If I don't go out of the city and meet with you, can you have the confidence to hold Chengdu?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent.

Liu Bei shook his head slightly, and said: "If I can't get out, my morale will drop, and the odds of winning will be even lower!" Besides......"

After a pause, Liu Bei's face was full of pride: "I have been on the battlefield for many years and have killed countless enemies. His grandson is powerful, but I am not muddy. ”

Immediately, Liu Bei went down to the city and went out of the city under the escort of Chen Zhi and other elite soldiers.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Although there were many people, Liu Jun at the head of the city was a morale booster. Liu Bei was also refreshed when he heard the roar of his subordinates, and Xu Shu and others couldn't help but feel the same way.

The corners of Gongsun Du's mouth hooked and shouted: "Liu Xuande, is the armor easy to use?" ”

Liu Bei's heart suddenly became weak, and when he looked at the armor on Chen Zhi and the others, it was no longer pleasing to the eyes and comfort in the past, but there was a faint sense of humiliation.

Chen Zhi also felt a little itchy on his body, but he didn't know where the itch was, above? Left? Right? Still is...... Below?

The white soldiers also had an unnatural spread, constantly twisting their waists.

"Huh!"

Liu Bei saw that something was wrong, but he sneered and said, "It's just trophies, what's the point to say." ”

Gongsun Du dissolved his plan when he saw this, and he was not angry, but chuckled lightly and said, "Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year." ”

"Dumplings?"

Liu Bei knows Jiao'er, but he doesn't know what dumplings are.

This is the generation gap!

More than 2,000 years of generation gap! The kind of dozens or hundreds of generations - generation gap!

Did Gongsun Du do it on purpose?

Apparently......

I couldn't figure it out, Liu Bei shook his sleeves and shouted: "Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense!" ”

"I didn't expect Liu Xuande to be a good student! From this point of view, Lu Zhonglang can be blinded, and he has finally taught a qualified student. Gongsun Du's words were not fast, on the contrary, they were very slow, but their voices were loud and steady.

Liu Bei roared angrily: "Gongsun old thief, take the deceased loyal ministers to talk about things, and he is not a son of man!" ”

Old thief? Am I that old?

Gongsun Du seemed to feel that he was still young, and said, "I am not a few years older than you, and I can hear it without shouting like this." ”

Liu Bei was suddenly so angry that he couldn't breathe, and it took a long time to calm down.

"Gongsun Du, I really didn't expect you to be so good at playing tricks!"

Liu Beiqiang suppressed his anger, stabbed back, and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, I have nothing to say to you." ”

Gongsun Du's face turned pale, and said, "I just want to reminisce about the past!" Since Xuande doesn't want to, forget it. ”

After a pause, his voice suddenly raised, and he said: "The world is vast, the people are innocent, and the war is together, and life and death are difficult to deal with." Therefore, it is inevitable that more soldiers will be sacrificed, resulting in the destruction of the people's families, and I will give you a chance to surrender. ”

Liu Bei couldn't suppress the anger in his chest when he heard this, but Gongsun Du continued: "If you don't want to, I hope you can evacuate the people around the city wall and not die accidentally. If it is not convenient to settle in the city, I can give you time to settle outside the city temporarily. ”

The anger is gone!

Liu Bei was still a little confused and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Gongsun Du said again: "Liu Xuande is known as a benevolent person, so he won't refuse, right?" Or is the past just a cloud of smoke? ”

Liu Bei's face turned blue and red, and he replied viciously: "My people naturally have my love, so I don't have to worry about Your Excellency." ”

Gongsun Du nodded, and then said: "Liu Xuande is really benevolent and righteous, then I will give you a day to arrange." ”

After speaking, he didn't give Liu Bei time to react at all, turned around and left.

Chen Zhi stared at Gongsun Du's back, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"

Liu Bei glanced at him and turned his horse's head: "Withdraw!" ”

Chen Zhi's heart sank, and he replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

Return.

Liu Bei did not go to the city, but went back to the palace directly.

Xu Shu and the others also heard some of the conversations outside the city, and they didn't stay in the city for long, and followed them to the palace.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Bei's face was a little tired, and he waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming army has strong siege equipment, and the people near the city wall may have misfortune, so move them as soon as possible."

Xu Shu said: "This is the duty of ministers. ”

After a pause, he said: "It's just that the minister has something to understand, the road in Shu is difficult and dangerous, and the large siege equipment is insurmountable, even the war horse is insurmountable, where do they get the large siege equipment for siege?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Bei was stunned, and then puzzled: "Yes, where did they come from?" Gongsun Du didn't think about it at this time, so where did they come from? ”

Huang Quan came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are only two possibilities. ”

"Two?"

"First, the mountains of Shu are high and dense, and there is naturally no shortage of materials for production, as long as Gongsun Du brings some craftsmen, it may take a few days to make some siege equipment. There may not be many of them, but as long as there are about ten of them, it will inevitably be a great blow to the morale of our army. ”

Huang Quan's face was full of seriousness, and he said unhurriedly: "Second, the minister thought carefully about the situation of the previous battles with the Ming army, and the siege equipment used by the Ming army was far less than the number of siege equipment built on the spot. From this, it can be seen that they will carry some of it themselves. ”

Bring your own?

As soon as the doubts in everyone's hearts arose, Huang Quan explained: "The cavalry of the Ming army is very heavy, and although the heavy cavalry rarely has roads, it can be described as fierce every time it appears. And their heavy horses, whether cavalry or war horses, have thick armor, and their weight must not be light. If you march with armor, the heavy cavalry will inevitably be unsustainable, and the war horse will not have so much physical strength. ”

"Therefore, these siege equipment should be divided into pieces and spliced together when the siege is about to besiege."

"This ......" Although Liu Bei felt reasonable, he still hesitated and said, "Can it work?" ”

Huang Quan nodded and said, "Although I don't know what the Ming army did, but did the Ming army surprise us less?" ”

The crowd was silent.

Since the beginning of the Ming army, whether it is their strict army or sophisticated armor and equipment, they have been constantly shocking the princes of all walks of life.

Stronger than ever!

It's just everyone's impression of the Ming army, including ordinary people.

"If that's ......"

After a long time, Liu Bei said quietly: "Will the Ming army attack the city with a lot of equipment?" ”

"I thought it wouldn't be less than forty chariots, and there were ten crosses on each side." Huang Quan said with certainty.

"So much?"

Xu Shu's heart was full of surprise, although he also felt that Huang Quan's words were very reasonable, but forty fights were still a bit much. He thought twenty or thirty was more likely.

"Is it much?"

Huang Quan asked himself in his heart, and sighed silently: Not much! It even exceeded Huang's expectations!

Later, everyone discussed this matter, but the Ming army's large-scale siege equipment was almost invincible at present. At least they can't solve it.

"That's it, prepare the materials to defend the city, and resist the siege equipment of the Ming army as much as possible!" When Liu Bei said this, he was full of sadness and helplessness.

"The ministers are incompetent and can't share their worries for Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins!" All the ministers worshipped.

Liu Bei waved his hand, got up and went back to the harem.

Night.

As soon as Liu Bei fell asleep, Xu Shu rushed to the palace.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong."

"Isn't that good?"

Liu Bei was a little stunned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"It seems that a large number of Ming troops have infiltrated the city." Xu Shu's face was full of embarrassment.

Liu Bei suddenly came to his senses: "A large number? How many exactly? ”

"Hundreds, or thousands."

"So many people?"

Liu Bei said angrily: "Send someone to arrest it immediately!" ”
