Stretch out that one arm,

Liu Bei gently stroked the long beard under his chin,

After several years of careful storage,

At last the beard grew to more than half a foot,

Although due to the overwork of the past few years,

The beard has become a little gray,

But this is still one thing that Liu Bei is quite complacent.

It's just that every time I see my beard,

will always remember,

The great husband with three-foot hair,

The slender Danfeng eyes,

Like the skin of a heavy jujube,

Tall and burly body,

And the righteousness of that body,

It seems that it has been a long, long time,

It's not just him, but also that reckless black man,

Once the three of them met in Weimo,

Once the three of them were like-minded,

Once the three of them married Jin Lan,

Once the three of them fell asleep on their feet,

Once the three of them looked at each other,

Once the three of them fought bloodily,

Once there was a gap between the three of them,

Now the three of them are forever separated by yin and yang......

Liu Bei's gaze gradually became blurred,

I don't know why,

At this juncture,

He remembered them again,

Remembering their past,

remembered what they had experienced together,

Remembering their end now,

I only feel mixed tastes in my heart,

But I don't know how to pour it out,

In the end, it could only turn into a long sigh......

"Big-eared thief! Why don't you hurry up and surrender the city!? ”

The loud voice broke Liu Bei's reverie,

His brow furrowed slightly,

His eyes narrowed into a slit,

The cold light of the forest cold shot out like a sharp sword,

Look at the young general who made a voice under the city.

This young man is tall and handsome,

From the point of view of physiognomy,

is very different from his father,

The momentum of the whole body exudes an unparalleled sharpness,

Compared to his father's divine power as hell, it is still too much different,

But among his peers,

This is already a very good seedling,

When he was his age,

I'm afraid I can't catch up with each other.

Liu Bei slowly took two steps forward,

Chen Zhizheng beside him wanted to stop it,

was dragged by Sima Fu on the other side,

Chen Zhi turned his head and glared at him with some disgust,

The other party made a silent gesture to him.

"Cao Ang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have become more and more heroic, and the son of the deceased has such a talent, which really makes Liu happy!"

Liu Bei replied with a smile,

This sentence is a naked insult,

is obviously the other party's father-killing enemy,

and speak in the tone of a close elder,

The generals beside Cao Ang changed color,

I can't wait to rush forward and start a fight,

Cao Ang sneered when he heard this,

Qingyue's voice resounded up and down the city,

"Big-eared thief, you are still so shameless and obscene, and it is a miracle that a despicable and shameless person like you still has the face to live between heaven and earth. The most ridiculous thing is that you still put on a sanctimonious appearance all day long, just because of you, an ungrateful villain, your two brothers have already died in Huangquan, don't you Liu Bei really feel ashamed? It really made Cao someone laugh off his big teeth! Hahaha! ”

"Yellow-mouthed child, sharp teeth and sharp mouth!"

Liu Bei's face changed,

This thing is his reverse scale,

Especially after thinking of those two people inexplicably,

Hearing these provocative words at this moment,

Suddenly his emotions were out of control,

Hammered with one hand on the wall in front of him,

Roared angrily:

"The shaft is unshy! Your uncle is here today to see if you can only talk as fast as you can! ”

Cao Ang saw that the other party was already angry,

The purpose of this trip has been achieved,

He sneered at Liu Bei at the head of the city:

"Hmph, the old thief can rest assured, my Cao family is above board, and I will not take advantage of you, I will let you go today, and when I can wait for the next day, Cao will attack the city with all his might, so that the old thief will die blindly!"

After Cao Ang put down this cruel sentence,

didn't care if Liu Bei would respond,

Directly turn the horse's head and return the same way.

"Humph!"

Liu Bei hammered the city head again with a single fist,

His eyes stared gloomily at Cao Ang's distant back.

"Lord, Uncle Zhi is willing to lead the men and horses to kill the enemy general!"

Chen Zhi flashed behind Liu Bei,

Clenched his fists and asked for his life.

Liu Bei raised his hand suddenly,

stopped Chen Zhi's words,

Turning around slowly,

A pair of gloomy eyes looked at Sima Fu,

Slowly, he asked:

"Uncle Zhi can have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Sima Fu thought for a long time when he heard this,

In the end, he slowly shook his head,

"The enemy army is coming in a dignified manner, but our army has no room to exercise strategy, and the only way to do this is to resist the enemy's first few rounds of attacks, and then look for a good opportunity."

Liu Bei's eyebrows tightened,

However, he also knew that Sima Fu was not shirking,

Sima Fu went on to add:

"But the lord doesn't have to worry too much, the enemy army came this time, lightly armed, and did not carry large siege equipment, so our army does not have to worry about the hardships of defending the city, and when the news of Lu Bu's death comes, the morale of the enemy army is low, which is a good opportunity for our army to counterattack!"

After Liu Bei listened to Sima Fu's words,

The gloomy face finally soothed a little,

Nodding slowly,

Walked straight down the tower.

Sima Fu stayed on top of the tower,

Still looking at the army in the distance,

Lips pursed tightly,

There is a hint of perseverance in his eyes,

Turning his head to look south,

That's where Chaisan is,

At the same time, it is also the hope of their Sima clan now,

The gaze became a little complicated,

And then he regained his firmness,

Whispered in a voice that only had oneself:

"Father, brother! I'm sorry! ”

Early the next morning,

Outside the city there was a rumbling of drums,

The drums and horns are ringing, the dust is all over the sky,

Thousands of soldiers,

With a bright weapon in his hand,

Moving slowly towards the city in unison,

It gives people a very depressing dullness.

Liu Bei stood on top of the city early,

After seeing Lu Bujun's military appearance,

There is not a trace of change in complexion,

For Cao Ang's ability to command soldiers and horses,

Over the years,

Liu Bei has already understood it thoroughly,

Seeing the opponent's posture of preparing to attack the city,

Liu Bei couldn't help but have a sneer on his face,

No well fences, no crashes,

There are no big siege machines,

Is it just the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people in front of you?

Although Liu Bei was a little contemptuous,

But still standing there and observing,

He didn't believe that Cao Ang was such an ignorant person,

Knowing that there is no large-scale engineering equipment,

And so forcibly besiege the city,

This is really no different from sending to death,

Although he does not deny his weight in Cao Ang's mind,

But it didn't reach the point of driving each other crazy,

Even to the point of losing his mind.

Liu Bei will never believe this no matter what.

That's why he waited.

He wants to take a look,

What kind of medicine is this Cao Ang selling in the gourd?

If it's really just that hard,

Then it was too disappointing for Liu Bei.

The army came three hundred paces from the head of the city.

and suddenly stopped,

From polar motion to extreme static,

There was not the slightest confusion in the whole army,

Immediately after, the huge phalanx, the Zero Bookstore

began to slowly separate to the sides,

A group of people slowly came out of the crowd,

Walking in the forefront is Cao Ang,

Behind him,

and followed by a large group of people,

This troop pushes something under a tarpaulin,

It's about the size of a tall horse,

I can't tell what it is from the appearance,

I think it should be the secret weapon prepared by Cao Ang,

Behind those people,

And a group of people,

They carried long wooden poles on their shoulders,

It's as long as two or three feet,

About the thickness of the bowl,

Liu Bei looked at all this curiously,

Some can't figure out what the other party brought here,

Look at the long pole,

It should be a part of a large engineering device,

But this kind of equipment is definitely not the size of those things covered with tarpaulins.

Cao Ang raised his head,

Facing Liu Bei on the head of the city,

Gesture of wiping the neck,

A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Bei's mouth,

He didn't believe that these strange things could really pose any lethal threat to the city walls.

Liu Bei suddenly raised his arm,

Immediately four huge bed crossbows appeared on the top of the city,

At the same time, several boulders were ejected,

It was the stone thrower at the head of the city,

The boulder fell a hundred paces in front of Lu Bu's army,

It's just a naked threat,

For Liu Beijun's powerful firepower,

Cao Ang didn't even look at it,

The soldiers beside him,

I didn't even blink my eyes,

As if the boulders that fell before their eyes,

There is no such thing as general.

The mystery is soon revealed,

The tarpaulins were taken down,

revealing what was covered underneath,

It's a delicate mechanism,

Liu Bei, who is far away in the city,

I can't figure out what those are for.

Lu Bujun skillfully combined them,

Two or three devices can be combined into one huge device.

Although it is not high,

It's less than a foot high,

The floor area is not large,

But when combined,

But it gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression,

The long wooden pole was attached to the massive device in a flat position.

Liu Bei's eyes widened suddenly,

for he saw it,

This thing turned out to be like a trebuchet,

It's just that this trebuchet style looks very weird.

And after assembling it,

Compared to these trebuchets on the head of the city,

It looks a little bigger,

It's just that the height is much shorter.

Liu Bei's face became solemn.

Not to mention the power of this trebuchet,

Just looking at the deterrent power of the guys,

It's enough to make people sweat.

This kind of thing is indeed a trebuchet,

It is a super trebuchet after many improvements in the craftsman's workshop,

This trebuchet is not only simple to assemble and easy to transport,

And stability and accuracy,

and its range has been greatly improved,

It was Cao Ang's secret weapon that dared to come to besiege the city this time.

Liu Bei looked at those trebuchets with a gloomy face,

He already had some ominous premonitions.

The workers finally assembled the trebuchet completely,

And firmly fixed to the ground,

nodded to Cao Ang,

Indicates that it is already ready for use,

And then Yuguan left the battlefield,

This super trebuchet is good in any way,

Only because of the very precision,

Now specialized workers are also needed for assembly,

But the military is also cultivating talents in this area.

Believe that in the near future,

There is no need to take such a group of workers around.

Cao Ang looked at the trebuchet in front of him with satisfaction,

Obviously very happy with this kind of thing,

Raised a hand and waved vigorously,

Immediately, a few soldiers who had been standing by the trebuchet,

Begin to follow the command to operate,

They're trebuchets,

The above is ready to be projected,

It's not a boulder,

Instead, it's a huge clay pot,

And there will be someone to light the fire in that clay pot,

And then the clay pot,

Put it into one end of the long wooden pole,

Turn the bracket to prepare the ejection device.

After Liu Bei saw this scene,

Hurriedly commanded in a loud voice:

"Everyone's hidden! Take cover! Take cover! ”

As he opened his mouth to give orders,

He turned around and hid behind a female wall,

He's just dodged,

Most of the other soldiers at the head of the city have not yet reacted.

Several clay pots have already flown over with a whistling,

Those clay pots compared to the boulders,

Whether it's much smaller in size or weight,

But because of this,

So, though separated by a distance of three hundred paces,

Most of the clay pots were able to smash into the city walls.

And even one of them fell right at the head of the city,

As soon as the clay pot touches the ground,

Immediately it shattered to the ground,

As the clay pot shattered,

A black, viscous liquid,

Homeopathic splattered out,

The flames burned on top of that black, viscous liquid,

And once contaminated,

That liquid is very difficult to remove.

And that kind of flame,

want to douse it with water,

It takes a lot of water to do it.

Liu Bei looked at the scene in front of him,

The brow furrowed tightly,

Sima Fu, who was standing behind him, suddenly lost his voice and shouted:

"Black oil!?"

Liu Bei turned his head sharply when he heard this,

"Shuda knows this!?"

Sima Fu's face also became very ugly,

Lu Bujun not only made this powerful trebuchet,

I even got the black oil out,

He hurriedly replied:

"Lord, although this kind of black oil has never been seen by the lower officials, but in some anecdotal classics, I have seen the record of this thing, I don't know where it was produced, it has appeared in many places, and it is also a mystery to be generated, or it appears on the ground, or it appears in a cave, this thing is viscous and difficult to remove once it is contaminated, and it is easy to ignite, and it can continue to burn for a long time, but after burning, it will produce a lot of black smoke, which is very pungent."

Liu Bei frowned and listened to Sima Fu's explanation,

According to Sima Fu's words,

This black thing,

It's the so-called 'black oil',

Now that I know this,

But I don't know how to deal with it.

To say it is to say nothing.

Liu Bei looked at the opposite side secretly,

A couple of clay pots flew up again,

The number is not very large,

Now in Cao Ang's army,

There are only four of these trebuchets in total.

A trebuchet can place up to three clay pots at the same time,

After a volley,

Probably fifteen clay pots can be fired at the same time,

Although the number of these clay pots is not much,

But because there is no suitable countermeasure,

and the inability to remove the flames quickly and in a timely manner,

It's only been three or four rounds of attacks,

The walls of the city are above the city, including above the city's head,

Raging fires have already burned in many places.
