Although the Shu road is difficult, the scenery of this Sichuan and Shu area is beautiful and intoxicating, looking at it from a distance, the mountains and rivers are picturesque, but if you look closely, it is a beacon fire.

The battle between Cao Jun and Liu Beijun really kicked off with Cao Hong's division of troops to attack Xixian.

"Bang~"

A stone bullet flying outside the city, probably because it was lighter, fell directly over the city wall in front of it and into the city, rolled on the ground for a while, and slammed into the wall that had just been plastered with cement.

Several craftsmen trembled and looked at Liu Yi, who was only more than a foot away from the stone bullet, sitting on a bamboo chair and carving silently.

Liu Yi turned his head, glanced at the stone bullet, and looked at the first group of craftsmen and said, "What do you want me to do?" Supplement, I don't have much strength to bounce this stone here. ”

"Whoa!" A group of craftsmen looked at Liu Yi who was not shocked, and at this moment, their admiration for Liu Yi was about to burst out.

Seeing that everyone retracted their gaze, Liu Yi quietly moved the chair to the back, and then moved it again, his legs were a little weak, in history, Pang Tong seemed to be mistakenly hit by a stray arrow on the battlefield, and he handed over the matter of defending the city to Meng Da on the grounds of delegating power these days, but he was worried that he was also hit, after all, on the battlefield, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and they were changing rapidly, even if they were wearing jewelry that enhanced their luck, they didn't dare to guarantee that they would survive, who knew if their luck was negative today?

Now it seems that his luck is at least not high.

The sound of fighting in the direction of the city wall continued, and from time to time the wounded were carried down from the city wall and sent to the medical center established by Liu Yi in the city for treatment.

The healing effect of +36 and the wound healing speed of +38 are still very good, providing a lot of confidence to the defenders, as long as the injuries are too heavy from time to time, they can basically return to the battlefield the next day.

Of course, Liu Yi can't do anything about missing arms and legs, and the ability to renew broken limbs is not in the hands of craftsmen.

The smell of blood, even in the city, Liu Yi after making sure that it was safe, his eyes fell on the wood carving in his hand, it was a baby-like wood carving, counting, from the sixteenth year of Jian'an to the present, it has been more than two years, the little girl is estimated to be able to run, this battle, I don't know when it will be a leader.

Perfectly crafted baby-shaped wood carving: lifelike +37, material like jade +35, harmless to humans and animals +38, loved by people +36, strong luck +37, and phoenix +8

Oh yo, it's worthy of being your baby daughter, this attribute, there won't be a group of young ladies who want to pick up their princesses when they go out, right? The picture is so beautiful, Liu Yi just thinks about his fingers, and the appearance of being coquettish and cute in the arms of a beautiful woman is a chill, or put it in the box, and next time I send a letter back, I will give it to my daughter together.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the blood-stained city walls, adding a bit of gloom and desolation to this Xiongguan Ancient Road.

It's not the first time I've fought with Cao Jun, Liu Yi can hear this is Cao Jun's sound of gold, another day has passed, and I don't know when I will be a leader in such a day of fighting and killing.

Meng Da came down from the city wall not long after, found Liu Yi, and looked at Liu Yi who was sitting on a bamboo chair playing with the jade box in his hand, Meng Da stepped forward with a wry smile, bowed and said, "Sir, Cao Jun has withdrawn." ”

"I hear you." Liu Yi nodded, these days, most people have some night blindness, and there are not many people who stay up late to fight, especially this kind of siege warfare, although there are certain disadvantages to the defenders, but the disadvantages of the besieging side are greater, unless necessary, few people are willing to stay up late to fight.

"Xixian side......" Meng Da looked at Liu Yi, then the Cao army was divided into two ways, and the other way was to attack Xixian without asking, if Xixian was broken, Fangling would be defended, and the Cao army could still threaten Shangyong and Fangling from the direction of Xixian.

"The eldest prince should have gone." Liu Yi said casually, Fangling is now blocking Cao Jun, then for Cao Jun, the importance of Xixian is highlighted, Liu Yi has no time to do a sand table, but from the map, the location of the three cities of Shangyong, Xixian and Fangling is very interesting, with a zigzag structure, any city is broken, it can threaten the other two cities, but compared to Shangyong and Fangling, a place with a large number of plains around, Xixian is sandwiched between hills, whether it is economic or geographical, it is easy to be ignored, Liu Yi was also when he traveled around the counties before, It was found that if the structure of these three cities was in the midst of battle, they were strategically horns against each other, and if they were used well, they could be defeated by 100,000 male soldiers, but once any one of them was occupied by the other side, it would be difficult for the other two cities to defend.

Therefore, Liu Yi took Meng Da to Fangling to fortify, and Liu Feng, who was both civil and military, and had good ability, was sent by Liu Yi to guard Xixian County.

Seeing that Liu Yi had already made arrangements, Meng Da didn't say much, Liu Feng had no problem guarding Xixian, as for the troops, Liu Yi had transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses to Xixian before, so many soldiers and horses, it was more than enough to garrison a small Xixian County, after all, the Cao army sent it was only a partial division.

"There is another thing, that Cao Jun didn't know why today, the military camp was rearranged." Meng Da remembered something and frowned at Liu Yi.

"Oh?" When Liu Yi heard this, he looked at Meng Da suspiciously, Cao Jun rearranged the camp? Why?

"Let's go, let's see!" Seeing that the sky was not completely dark, Liu Yi patted the dust on his body, stood up, and took Meng Da up the mountain to watch the enemy camp.

Before that, Cao Jun's camp was like a snake, but now this snake has been dismantled and divided into sections, separated from each other, a hundred steps away.

"Sir, why did you say that Cao Jun wanted to build a camp like this?" Meng Da looked at Cao Ying, who was already a little blurry in the distance, but the torches he lit could probably see the Cao army's defense clearly.

"Misstep!" Liu Yi patted his head, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm waiting to lose a chance to break Cao's army." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Meng Da looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.

Liu Yi pointed to the camp of the Cao army and said: "Previously, the Cao army connected the camp together, but it could not echo from end to end, if the elite soldiers were sent to carry hay, fire oil and other flammable things to the rear of the enemy camp on the mountain road and set fire to the camp, although there were many enemy troops, it was difficult to effectively gather and resist, why worry that the Cao army would not break?" Now they have made this military camp into sections, although it is not easy to gather troops and horses, but even if they attack with fire, they can only burn down one camp at most. ”

Isn't this a copy of the Battle of Yiling?

At that time, Liu Yi didn't expect this stubble, but he just felt that this Cao Jun camp was like a dead snake, and now Cao Jun has rearranged the barracks, and after Liu Yi saw it, he reacted, but it's a pity, what's the point of saying this now?

Fighter planes are really fleeting.

Meng Da thought about it when he heard this, and really, he sincerely admired it: "Sir's clever plan." ”

"What's wonderful? If it succeeds, it's called a clever plan, and now, it's called a fantasy. Liu Yi sighed: "Defend the camp honestly, then Cao Ren is not easy to deal with." ”

"Whoa!" When Meng Da heard this, he made up his mind in his heart, if he had anything to do in the future, he would come and chat with Liu Yi to see if he could inspire Liu Yi, if he could successfully repel the main force of the Cao army and solve the danger in Xixian, then this battle, even if the main credit is Liu Yi's, he also has a lot of credit.

Liu Yi naturally didn't know what Meng Da had in mind.

After separating from Meng Da, the sky has completely darkened, the cement in the city has not dried yet, can not move in immediately, still living in the shed, Liu Yi on the light, he recently summarized the pulley, lever these arms, the law of the moment, mechanics, these are basically the core practical theories, Liu Yi has been summarized in practice for several years, and now it is basically perfect, and after this battle, Liu Yi is ready to organize these things into a book, It's just that I don't know if this era can accept my own vernacular books.

In addition, there are some practical aspects such as the proportion of cement, how to disperse gravity in the bridge structure, these are a book dedicated to architecture, in addition to the production process of glass, Liu Yi has collected from various ancient books, and the next thing is the actual operation, and when this battle is over, Liu Yi is ready to give it a try, if he can, then he will send it.

I don't know what happened to Yangping Pass, and when this side is completely stabilized, I have to go to Yangping Pass to see how the situation is over there?

Thinking about these things, Liu Yi put away the sorted bamboo paper and fell asleep.

Fangling's side gradually stabilized, but in the direction of Xixian, the contest between Liu Feng and Cao Hong had just begun.

Cao Hong divided his troops and went to Xixian, and Meng Da ordered someone to rush to Xixian to report, but he didn't know that Liu Feng had gone to Xixian.

After receiving Meng Da's letter, Liu Feng immediately ordered people to start preparations, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts and sentinels to investigate Cao Hong's movements.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the intelligence came first, which was what he learned from Liu Yi's side at the beginning, so this time, Liu Feng paid special attention to Cao Jun's intelligence.

Cao Hong's soldiers and horses have not yet arrived, and Liu Feng's scouts have already reported the approximate number of Cao Hong, and this time Cao Hong's troops are about the same as Liu Feng's, and they are also four or five thousand people.

However, due to the lack of time, in Xixian County, Liu Yi could not go over to build the checkpoint, and although there were many hills in Xicheng, there was only one big road suitable for marching like Shangyong Fangling, and there were mostly some low hills and hills, and Cao Hong had many choices.

After Liu Feng got the exact information, while strengthening the city defense, he ordered people to build a few beacon towers outside the city, no matter which way Cao Hong came from, Liu Feng could know for the first time that this beacon tower did not need too high technical content, and even only needed a pile of firewood to light the beacon fire, Cao Hong knew it, and there was no way to stop it.

After everything was ready, Liu Feng did not choose to passively defend the city, but chose to take the initiative to face the battle!
