"Lord, since the fish has been baited, it is time for us to reel in the line, and don't be busy until the end, but let the cooked duck run away." Fa Zheng said with a smile.

Yuan Shu nodded lightly, and turned to look at the big battle that had broken out in Liu Bei's military camp, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Liu Bei really deserves to be a generation of heroes, with first-class acting skills and open-mindedness, no wonder he can recruit a hero like Guan Zhang who is desperate for him and has grown to the current side." ”

Tonight's battle is actually a play played by Yuan Shu and Liu Bei. Chen Deng's thoughts can be guessed, and Liu Ye naturally can't guess it, and he has been on guard at night. However, after Fa Zheng secretly went to Liu Beijun to discuss, Liu Beijun returned to a loose state at night, in order to paralyze Chen Deng, so that Chen Deng thought that his plan was successful, so he slowly stepped into the trap arranged by himself and Yuan Shu.

After the siege of the city and the retreat of the troops in the near night, Liu Bei was notified by the law that Chen Deng was likely to act in the near night, and asked him to prepare. Back in the army, Liu Bei immediately closed Zhang and the two began to work on this matter.

Chen Deng sent more than 1,000 soldiers to attack for the first time, causing Liu Bei's army to bomb the camp, which was actually the result of Liu Bei's deliberate connivance. He deliberately did not release Guan Zhang and the elite soldiers that had been prepared by his command, and directly created such an illusion, which led Chen Deng to take the bait.

When he saw Chen Deng's second sneak attack army appear around the camp, Liu Bei, who had been in chaos, instantly killed Guan and Zhang's two fierce generals in the dense forests on both sides of the camp, and each took an elite soldier and went straight to the army that came from the sneak attack, Liu Bei and Liu Ye also began to recover the army that had fallen into chaos.

"Kill!"

Guan Zhang, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart and led the army straight to Cao Xiu.

And Cao Xiu, who had already rushed to the front of Liu Bei's military camp, was blocked by Guan Zhang's army behind him, and had already realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, and it was too late for him to retreat at this time, and the two sides quickly collided together.

The ferocious Guan Zhang faced the fledgling Cao Xiu, and the result naturally went without saying. The 5,000 armies led by Guan and Zhang, led by the two peerless generals and the blessing of the talent of the legion, directly crossed over, dividing Cao Xiu's army, and the army that killed Cao Xiu was crushed. Cao Xiu was directly frightened at this time, and under the protection of the pro-military camp without any intention of fighting, he directly led the army to flee to the flank.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Zhang's face full of excitement and crazy slaughter, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It seems that the second brother and the third brother have been suffocated during this time!" ”

Liu Ye chuckled: "In the siege battle for several days in a row, the skills of the two generals cannot be fully displayed, they must be suffocated, let them vent." ”

"This Tongguan is finally going to be captured again." Liu Bei looked at Tongguan in the distance and muttered: "Both times, our army was a sieger, and both were weak parties, and they both paid a great price, and the losses of troops were serious. ”

"My lord, this is only temporary. As long as the lord takes Yanzhou, we will be able to occupy the strategic initiative in the future, and the situation of being at the mercy of others will definitely not happen again. Liu Ye comforted.

Liu Bei smiled lightly, and suddenly said, "Ziyang, do you think we can get the technology of this catapult from Yuan Shu?" These two sieges, this thing has played a huge role, if Yuan and Liu have it but our army does not, I am afraid it will be extremely unfavorable to our army. ”

"Lord, there is no need to go far, this catapult also has the technology of the master." Liu Ye said with a smile.

"Oh? Whence? Liu Bei said in surprise.

"Zhong Yu has one in his hand, and besides, Changwen may also have it in his hand." Liu Ye said.

Catapults existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and were used on a large scale at that time, so naturally there will be a lot of drawings and techniques left. The Xun family has such a technology, and the reason why Liu Ye is so sure is because he has seen it in Xun Yue's study. He was very interested in siege equipment, and he turned two pages with great interest, if it weren't for the large number of government affairs and the lack of time, I am afraid that he would have read and eaten that book a long time ago.

And Liu Ye said that Chen Qun may have it, because the Chen family swept away a lot of accumulation in the Jixia School Palace, and this catapult should be no exception, and it is estimated that it is lying quietly like garbage in the corner of a certain secret room of the Chen family.

"Great." Liu Bei said excitedly: "After I go back, I will start building it immediately, and I will be of great use in attacking Yanzhou next." ”

"No!" Liu Ye should be the way.

During the conversation, the chaos in Liu Bei's military camp had dissipated, and the soldiers had calmed down. On Guan Zhang's side, he had already led the troops to surround Cao Xiu's army tightly.

Liu Bei looked at Tongguan and muttered: "We have finished singing the first half of this scene, and how the second half is going depends on Yuan Highway." ”

Liu Ye smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, if Yuan Highway can't take this Tongguan like this, he is not worthy of being our opponent, so we might as well directly turn to attack Xiliang." ”

Liu Beijun's situation was clearly seen by Chen Deng on the city wall, he realized that he had been tricked, not only buried more than 10,000 elites, but also directly cut Cao Xiu's life. On the other side, Yuan Shujun directly ignored the suspicious soldiers he sent out, and rushed straight towards Tongguan without hesitation, and now he was close to the city wall.

Chen Deng stood on the city wall, and the cold wind of the winter night kept blowing around him, blowing his heart cold.

Lost! He lost completely, and was directly united by the other party to calculate the loss of his wife and his soldiers.

Just when he was disheartened, Yuan's army had already begun to attack the city. At this time of crisis, Chen Deng quickly calmed down and calmly began to command the few elites on the city wall, without the slightest intention of withdrawing.

More than 3,000 soldiers are enough to hold on all night, and then retreat when the situation is clear tomorrow, Chen Deng thought so insistently. However, before Yuan Shu's siege soldiers could attack the city wall, there was a sudden shout of killing under the inner wall of Tongguan.

"What's going on?" Chen Deng said in a low voice.

After the captain of the city guard found out the situation, he hurriedly came: "Military division, it's not good." The enemy army is killing from inside Tongguan and is coming here! ”

"There is a secret passage!" Chen Deng gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Chen Deng knew that there was a secret passage in the city, and the news that Xu Rong was silent from the encirclement of Cao's army was through the secret passage. Although Cao Cao dug three feet into the ground at that time and did not find the entrance to the secret passage, he still had a heart and filled in all the suspicious areas that Xu Rong fled from. But he didn't expect that the other party had other secret passages in the city, and he killed them at such a critical time.

"How many are there?" Chen Deng asked with a solemn face.

"It's only more than three hundred. However, it seems that Huang Zhong and Pan Feng are among them. The lieutenant reported.

When Chen Deng heard the first half of the sentence, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as the word "but" came out, coupled with Huang Zhong and Pan Feng later, he directly extinguished all his thoughts.

"Order the soldiers of the defenders to retreat back to Bishui Pass en masse!" Chen Deng said urgently.
