"It's..." Ma Dai took two steps forward, his pupils dilated, and he wanted to see the situation on the battlefield more clearly.

Ma Chao was shocked beyond measure, and said in a trembling voice: "I've heard it a long time ago... When Lu Bu attacked Yuyuan Pass, he used a powerful weapon that could blow up the city gates. This is supposed to be the weapon. ”

"Hmm."

"Lu Bu's strength is beyond imagination..." Zhuge Liang's expression was also complicated.

According to this style of play, even if there are ten eight-array diagrams, they can't stop the wildly bombardment of the red-coated cannons. Trying to stop Lu Bu's army from advancing was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

There was silence for a while...

Ma Chao had a flash of inspiration and said happily: "Strategist, I have a strategy to break the enemy." ”

"Oh? Meng Qi said quickly. ”

Ma Chao said: "Although the enemy's cannon is strong, it is too cumbersome, if we can destroy the road..." ”

"Meng Qi is reasonable!"

Ma Chao was only halfway through his words, and Zhuge Liang agreed with his strategy: "Time is pressing, we must implement it immediately." ”

Zhuge Liang took out the map, spread it on the ground, pointed to the southeast side of Jiangxia County, and said: "Send 5,000 soldiers to Guyang Mountain, Tianma Peak, and Yuping Peak to dig deep pits and set up obstacles..." ”

"The last will go!" Ma Dai stepped forward and said.

"Okay."

Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Whether you can block the enemy's cannon or not depends on you." ”

"The last general will do his best!"

Ma Dai hurriedly left.

One hundred and seventy red-clothed cannons smashed three rounds in a row, destroying Zhuge Liang's formation.

Xu Shu led two infantry regiments and escorted 10,000 shells to the water village in Ganning. With luggage Yuanba, Li Cunxiao. One hundred and thirty eight-horse chariots, heading eastward, with iron wheels, rumbling against the gravel road.

"Bun Chang."

"Yes." Hearing Lu Bu's shout, Wei Yan drove his horse over.

Lu Bu said: "Take your people, open the way in front, and if you find any situation, report it immediately." ”

"No."

Wei Yan replied.

After cleaning up the battlefield. Wei Yan's hundreds of light horsemen marched along the official road.

Lu Bu followed.

Five hundred eight-horse chariots, carrying five hundred red-coated cannons and 1,500 soldiers of artillery regiments, were ready to fight at any time.

The sun passed noon.

Wei Yan's light ride to the vicinity of Guyang Mountain found Xu Shu's two infantry regiments, staying in the middle of the official road.

Wei Yan stepped forward suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Yuanzhi, why are you still here?" Isn't it to deliver shells to General Ganning's barracks? ”

Xu Shu raised his hand and said, "Look ahead, it's all deep pits, and our chariot can't pass at all." ”

"It must be Zhuge Liang's ghost!" Wei Yan said.

"Well, he knows that our red-coated cannons and eight-horse chariots are bulky and slow. So they create obstacles and try to stop us from moving forward. ”

Wei Yan looked in front of him, hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Yuanzhi, the matter of rushing to help General Gan is urgent. The Admiral advises you to leave your chariot here and lead your soldiers to run, as long as you travel under the stars and do not camp and rest, you can also reach the Jiangfang camp before tomorrow evening. ”

Xu Shu also thought about this.

But it was too difficult to have each soldier carry five shells and march three hundred miles. Even if you arrive, you have to lie down tired, in case you run into Zhuge Liang's army, why don't you be captured?

"Ugh...."

Xu Shu sighed helplessly.

At this moment, he looked back and saw Wei Yan's five hundred light horses, and said happily: "General Wei Yan, how about you lend me your five hundred war horses?" ”

"Huh? Sir you.... ”

As soon as Wei Yan thought about it, he understood Xu Shu's thoughts, and replied: "Okay, the last general will follow Mr. Will's orders." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, when you return to Shouchun, I will invite you to drink."

"Whatever the gentleman says, this is what the last general should do." Wei Yan was happy in his heart, it was a very rare opportunity to help Xu Shu, and in the future, Xu Shu would have to match Xu Shu in his career.

After half a column of incense.

Wei Yan's 500 war horses, carrying 10,000 cannonballs, followed Xu Shu eastward.

Wei Yan stayed behind to fill the deep pit in the ground.

"Kill...!"

At this moment, in the ravines on both sides of the official road, countless enemy soldiers rushed out and killed Wei Yan. Flying arrows that braved the cold light rained down all over the world, shooting Wei Yan and the soldiers next to him.

When Wei Yan saw that the enemy was overwhelming, he exclaimed: "Withdraw, retreat quickly!" ”

Of the 500 soldiers under his command, half were shot. When they returned to Lu Bu, the soldiers lost their armor and were unkempt and very embarrassed. Wei Yan's war horse was also hit by an arrow, bleeding profusely and dying.

Lu Bu asked, "Did you run into Zhuge Liang?" Why is it so embarrassing? ”

"No, no..."

"Where's your warhorse?"

"The Lord is graceful..." Wei Yan told everything before and after.

"Not good!"

Liang Hongyu was thoughtful, and after listening, she hurriedly said: "Lord, Mr. Yuanzhi is in danger!" ”

"How so?" Lu Bu asked.

Liang Hongyu said: "General Wei Yan and Mr. Yuan Zhi have stayed on the official road for so long, and they have not been attacked by the enemy. As soon as Mr. Motozhi left, the enemy rushed out. Isn't it a ploy to lure the enemy deeper? ”

"Now Mr. Motozhi's two infantry regiments must be surrounded by the enemy...."

Wei Yan also reacted and said, "No wonder the enemy didn't let me fill the hole, because he was afraid that our artillery regiment would go over and rescue Mr. Yuan Zhi?" ”

"It must be so!"

"It's okay, Xu Shu will deal with it himself." Lu Bu wasn't too worried. Xu Shu has two infantry regiments in his hands, and his combat effectiveness is very strong, and it is by no means an ordinary army that can compete with him, and then there are Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, even if Zhuge Liang is powerful, I am afraid that he will not be able to bargain.

"Wei Yan."

"Yes."

Lu Budao: "From now on, the battalion directly under the military headquarters of the First Army and Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army will be under your command. Continue to open the way, and if there is any obstacle to the progress, kill it! ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wei Yan felt that his good days were coming, and he was extremely excited to carry out Lu Bu's order.

Night falls.

Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of troops arranged a pocket array and packed Xu Shu's more than 2,000 people into it.

Seeing that they were about to close the siege and carry out the final encirclement and annihilation.

Xu Shu did not panic in the slightest, and ordered his two regiment commanders: "No matter what kind of situation you encounter, don't mess up." The 11 regiment was responsible for escorting the shells. The 12 regiment was on alert before and after, and the attack advanced. ”

"No."

The two regiment commanders quickly went to make arrangements.

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba asked in unison, "Sir, what about us?" ”

"You just wait and see the show..."

Xu Shu smiled playfully.

In his eyes, Zhuge Liang's army has nothing to fear, because the range of the assault rifle is more than 1,000 meters, which means that he can react quickly in any situation, even if he is surrounded, he can turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, in order to transport the shells to Gan Ning's military camp as soon as possible, Xu Shu could not care about the danger and had to march as usual.
