It works great!

Liu Yi looked at this scene and was quite satisfied, although it took a time to load the crossbow arrows after shooting the empty crossbow box, but the destructive power caused by such ten consecutive crossbow arrows was very terrifying, not as good as the broken army crossbow in Xiangyang and Yueyang that could fire hundreds of crossbow arrows in a row through hydrodynamic force, but the destructive power caused by the combination of hundreds of portable broken army crossbows was equally terrifying, just in this instant, hundreds of Cao soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

This is just one city wall, and the other two sides combined, in less than three breaths of time, Cao Jun has lost thousands of troops, not to mention thousands.

Looking at the soldiers who were trying to fill the crossbow box, Liu Yi frowned, the shortcomings of this portable army breaking crossbow are also obvious, the crossbow box is more laborious and time-consuming to fill, and the gap caused by this is very large, but fortunately, Cao Jun was stunned by this and began to retreat, otherwise, it was just such a long time of space, enough for Cao Jun to rush up.

"Liao Hua, divide all the broken army crossbows into three parts, one to shoot, and the other two to load crossbow arrows, don't make it stagnate!" Liu Yi yelled at Liao Hua below.

"Whoa!" Liao Hua subconsciously came back to his senses and looked in the direction of Liu Yi, but he didn't see Liu Yi, and looked around with some confusion.

"Behold? I am here! Liu Yi patted the railing on the bucket arch and looked at Liao Huadao a little speechlessly.

Liao Hua searched for a long time before finding Liu Yi.

It stands to reason that Liu Yi's red armor should be very eye-catching, but for some reason, it is always easy for people to ignore.

According to Liu Yi's instructions, Liao Hua divided the broken army crossbow on the city into three parts and attacked in batches, although it was not as shocking as before, but the lethality was still amazing, plus Cao Jun had been frightened by the previous destructive power, and the offensive was not too compact, Cao Ren obviously also discovered this, and after killing a few deserters, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

The morale has been discharged, and if the fight continues, it will only increase the casualties, but this result makes Cao Ren very aggrieved, originally he still wanted to break the city one day, but before he touched the city wall, he was killed by the opponent's city defense equipment.

This is definitely the fastest defeat Cao Ren has had since he commanded the army, and there is no one.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

The crisp sound of gold sounded, and all the Cao troops couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

"Who is it!?" Cao Ren looked back angrily.

"General, you can't fight anymore!" Sima Yi knelt on the ground and said astringently to Cao Rendao: "The morale has been discharged, and if we continue to fight, our army will be defeated." ”

In fact, already defeated.

Cao Ren glared at Sima Yi deadly, according to military regulations, without his order, it would not be too much to kill Sima Yi, but Cao Ren also knew that what Sima Yi said was not wrong, this continued to fight, and there would be more defeats and fewer victories.

"Back to camp!" Cao Ren waved his hand depressedly, in today's battle, it is a little reluctant to attack Xinye, even if the opponent's troops are insufficient, but there is that crossbow machine, Cao Jun wants to capture Xinye, I am afraid that he will have to pay a heavy price, and this price, he Cao Ren can't afford to pay.

Speaking of which, Sima Yi also gave Cao Ren a step, but the punishment still has to be punished, but it can't be too heavy, just the meaning.

Seeing Cao Jun retreating, Liu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, the situation just reported was that there were more than 300 broken army crossbows, but after this round, more than 20 of them were damaged to varying degrees, and some simply could not be used.

Many parts of the broken crossbow are made of metal, even if it is the crossbow machine itself, it is also made of solid wood, but this time Shouxinye, there are not so many materials, Liu Yi uses ordinary wood, even if there is an attribute blessing, it cannot last, and many of them start to be damaged after one use.

Taking off the mask on his face, looking at Liao Hua who was walking towards him, but walking directly past him, Liu Yi was a little speechless, and grabbed Liao Hua.

"Pavilion Marquis?" When Liao Hua saw Liu Yi at this time, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm about to report to the Pavilion Marquis!" ”

Liu Yi: "......"

It seems that the shortcomings of this red scale armor are also obvious.

"Let's talk as we go." Liu Yi nodded, and walked towards the city with Liao Hua, he set up bronze mirrors around the city, and used torches to illuminate the four directions as searchlights, if the enemy came, he could find it at the first time.

"I just counted it, and more than 60 of these broken crossbows have been cracked, and 27 of them are no longer able to release arrows." Liao Hua bowed and said.

Hearing this, Liu Yi nodded silently, the material limit is very high, it is impossible to break the army crossbow as before, but today's battle has ended, Cao Jun may not run to touch the head again, Guan Yu and Wu Ban's army is gathering here, and when the army arrives, this real decisive battle is about to begin.

"Bring all the copper ingots in the treasury, as well as all kinds of solid wood, you have to make some broken crossbows as soon as possible, and let Xinye Ling come to see you." Liu Yi said.

Once the power of the broken army crossbow is enough to break out in this era, it is definitely a general existence of strategic weapons, as long as there are a few of them, the pressure of defending the city will be greatly reduced, but unfortunately, there is not much water in this Xinye area to use, and it is impossible to make that kind of automatic army-breaking crossbow, otherwise it is less, and the power is also extremely terrifying.

"Whoa!" Liao Hua agreed when he heard this.

But even without these broken crossbows, with the current strength of both sides, it won't be easy for Cao Ren to attack it, right?

Liu Yi removed the armor with the help of the soldiers, thinking about the comparison of the strength of the two sides, as the defender, the strength in his hands now is only a small city like Xinye, which is no problem, but if the difference in strength is too great, there is no way.

That night, Liu Yi sent people out of the city overnight to inquire about the current location of Guan Yu, Wu Ban and other departments, and also to listen to the intelligence of other departments of Cao Jun.

"Tinghou, are you looking for an official?" Xinye Ling hurriedly came to Liu Yi's side, bowed down, and said with a look of admiration, in today's battle, he also saw that Cao Jun was almost about to collapse at one touch, which made him full of confidence in Liu Yi.

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded: "Can you recognize Chaoyang County?" ”

Chaoyang is less than twenty miles away from Xinye, southwest of Xinye, and now that Xinye is occupied, this Chaoyang can be regarded as being enclosed in Liu Beijun's territory.

Now that this war has been fought so far, the decisive battle between the two sides is imminent, and the Chaoyang occupation is Liu Beijun's stronghold in this area, echoing Xinye, and it can also have a few more chances of winning.

However, if he sends troops to attack, Liu Yi will definitely not be able to draw up manpower now, Guan Yu and Wu Ban don't know where they are now, in order to avoid Cao Ren taking the lead, Liu Yi wants to see if this new field order can help.

"I really know, Tinghou wants to persuade Chaoyang Ling?" Xinye Ling is not stupid, so he naturally understands what Liu Yi means.

"But that's what I mean." Liu Yi didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Is there a garrison in Chaoyang?" ”

"But there is a garrison, although the lower official and Chaoyang Ling know each other but have no friendship, but the Chaoyang guard general Li Gon is a fellow villager, and he is also from Niyang, so he can try to persuade this person to vote." Shinno Ling said with a smile.

"Then it's hard work." Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, the feelings of fellow villagers in this era are really not shallow, and if he can directly bring back the other party's soldiers and horses, it will naturally be the best.

"Without further ado, let's set off tonight, see his attitude, if you don't want to come down, you will come back, is it safe?" Liu Yi looked at Xinye Ling and said with a smile, the two countries do not kill the envoys, this rule is still relatively reliable in these years, at least Liu Yi has been here for so long, although there have been incidents of hostage-taking, but the matter of killing the envoys is relatively rare, but it cannot be guarded against.

"Tinghou rest assured!" Xinye Ling said confidently: "I have a good relationship with Li Gon, even if he doesn't allow it, he will definitely not harm my life!" ”

Liu Yi nodded, and immediately ordered someone to let Xinye out of the city.

In the evening of that night, the horses sent to inform Guan Yu and Wu Ban to come back, Guan Yu and Wu Ban's soldiers and horses were in this area, less than fifty miles away from Xinye, and they could arrive tomorrow, which made Liu Yi slightly relieved.

As long as Guan Yu arrives, this battlefield can be handed over to him, and immediately order someone to inform Wu Ban, not to use Xinye, go directly to Chaoyang, if Chaoyang guards are willing to surrender, it is naturally the best, if they are unwilling, then directly attack the city, there are only hundreds of defenders left and right, and the strength in Wu Ban's hands should be enough to break Chaoyang.

……

Just when Liu Yi was in full swing to send people to inform all the soldiers and horses to gather in Xiangyang, Cao Cao, who was far away in Wancheng, also got the urgent information sent by Cao Ren, Liu Bei's army captured Xinye, and several counties south of Xinye, Xiangxiang, Zhangling and other counties had already surrendered to Liu Bei, and the form was quite bad for Cao's army.

"Shinno...... Huyang ...... Ping's ......" Cao Cao looked at the map and frowned: "Plus Zhuyang, this land of Nanyang, in this half a month, lost eight cities!" ”

In his tone, there was a little dissatisfaction, Liu Bei has become more and more rampant over the years.

"King Wei!" Cheng Yu frowned and said: "This Xinye is lost, Liu Bei's purpose is already clear, he is not going to fight a decisive battle with our army, but to incite the rebellion of the gentry and scholars in the rear of Nanyang!" ”

Xinye's status is very special, in the hub between Nanyang and Xiangyang, Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, guarding against Cao Cao is therefore, Cao's army wants to attack Xiangyang, must pass Xinye, on the other hand, Liu Bei wants to enter Nanyang, and also wants to take Xinye, before because Xiangxiang, Zhangling and other places have not been lost, the importance of Xinye has not been highlighted, plus Liu Bei's full-face development of the play has a strong confusion, ignoring the importance of Xinye, now Xinye is broken, several counties in the southeast are looking at the wind and falling, all of a sudden, The importance of Shinno is highlighted.

Those who can see this, not only Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, but also those gentry and wealthy families in Nanyang can also see this, Liu Bei's battle, the siege of the city is secondary, and the most important thing is to shake the hearts of the people in Nanyang, and their hearts are extremely vicious.

Cao Cao felt that his head was starting to hurt again, it was really painful, and he held his head: "Where did Hua Tuo go?" ”

"His whereabouts have never been found." Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with some concern.

"Look for it again!" Cao Cao sighed, endured his headache, looked at the map and said: "Each city will send additional troops, notify Gongming, and the whole army will go south, and order Cao Xiu and Cao Chun to lead the army to Xinye and join Zixiao!" ”

"Whoa!"
