Pengcheng, Wuyuan.

The drums of war rang out like a burst, and as the captain shouted angrily, the crossbowmen shot a rain of arrows, which leaped into the sky with a terrible whistling sound, and then whistled down at the defenders at the head of the city.

The walls were already nailed with arrows, as if a layer of feathers had grown, and fresh blood flowed from the dried bloodstains, layer upon layer. Corpses fell under the city, burning ladders, siege vehicles, watchtowers abounded, and smoke filled with smoke, making it impossible to breathe smoothly. One ladder fell, the soldiers on the ladder fell to the ground with a scream, another ladder was erected again, and a group of soldiers with shields rushed through the filled moat under the cover of crossbowmen, and climbed the ladder.

The defenders at the head of the city shouted, poured down a black liquid, and the soldiers on the ladder were drenched in the face before they could react, and then, a torch was thrown down and fell on the black liquid, and with a "bang", the flames rose more than three feet high, and the black smoke was filled, and the soldiers and the ladder burned together, and the soldiers let out a terrible scream, jumped off the ladder, and ran to the moat not far away, but he fell to the ground before he ran to the moat, and was shot by an arrow, and fell to the ground.

Liu He stood on the command platform, looking at the city wall shrouded in black smoke, a little anxious.

"Youruo, what the hell is this?"

Xun Chen shook his head slowly. "I don't know, I've never seen such a weapon, maybe it's a new thing made by Nanyang Wood Academy."

Liu He turned his head to glance at Xun Chen, very dissatisfied with his carelessness. He received an order from Yuan Tan to send troops to attack Pengcheng and the East China Sea, and flank Sun Ce. He was unwilling, but he couldn't help but express it, so he took the initiative to attack Wuyuan. Originally, I thought that Wuyuan was just a county seat, and it was Tao Ying who defended the city, so it should not be difficult to attack, but I didn't expect to attack for several days in a row, losing nearly 1,000 people, and I just couldn't take Wuyuan.

One of the most troublesome things for him is this black liquid, which is thicker than the usual ointment, but it is more likely to catch fire, and it can't be wiped off when it is stained, and it burns until the skin and flesh are melted, and there is an extremely unpleasant smell. The soldiers were afraid of this thing, and they were very war-weary.

He was a little suspicious that Xun Chen was cheating him.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, he feels sad. Speaking of the chaos in the world, the heroes are rising together, but who has noticed the role of the Ruying people in it? Especially the Yingchuan people, although they do not have the princes of one side, but behind every powerful prince stands at least one Yingchuan person, even the imperial court. It is not so much a group of heroes competing for deer, but rather that the Yingchuan people are taking the world as a chess. The Xun family is a typical example, there are Xun family members in the southeast, northwest, and princes of the Quartet.

When you settle down, you have to find some other Donghai people as strategists, and you can't let the Yingchuan people control the situation.

Liu He thought in his heart, but his face was silent. "Youruo, if we fight today, our losses may exceed two thousand people, morale is low, and if there is no good way, we can't fight anymore."

Xun Chen blinked. "Then don't fight. Wait for the news of the general. If he can take Qu County, we will attack northward, and it will be the same with Yuan Xiansi to take Langya. ”

Liu He didn't say a word, and scolded a few words in his heart. Cooperating with Yuan Tan to attack Sun Ce and cooperating with Yuan Xi to attack Tao Qian are not the same thing. Sun Ce is very strong, and he won't be able to take it for a while. It was precisely because he couldn't take it that Yuan Tan needed his strategy, and he had the opportunity to run Xiapi and Guangling. If you cooperate with Yuan Xi to attack Tao Qian, Tao Qian is likely to die immediately, Yuan Xi entered Xuzhou, what else is there to do with him in Xuzhou? Give him a county at most, and let him be a guard.

Of course, it has no impact on Xun Chen, maybe it's better. I heard that Yuan Shao intends to abolish Chang Liyoung, and it is not a good thing to get too close to Yuan Tan.

"But what about Yuan Yanzhou? You can't watch Sun Ce seize Shanyang. ”

"No, it won't." Xun Chen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the battlefield in the distance. After a while, he turned around and looked at Liu He quietly. "With us and without us, Sun Ce can't take Shanyang, he will have to return sooner or later, the difference is only where to retreat. If the general can attack Hulu and cut off Sun Ce's retreat, then Sun Ce can only take Suiyang or venture through Daze. If the general is unable to cut off Sun Ce's back road, Sun Ce's losses will be smaller, and he may retaliate against Yuan Zhijun at any time, and Yuan Yuanjun will need the general's cooperation even more. This is the truth...... It's not complicated, is it? ”

Liu He blinked. Without waiting for him to react, Xun Chen got off the command platform, took his entourage, and went straight to the camp. Liu He thought about it, woke up like a dream, slapped the railing, and shouted: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”

The herald immediately waved the order flag, and the crisp sound of the gong sounded, spreading in all directions, and the noisy battlefield was suddenly much quieter. The drums of war on both sides quickly stopped, and earth-shattering cheers rang out from the distant city towers.

Xun Chen didn't look back, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the disdainful smile flashed.

"Raccoon dog!"

——

At the head of Wuyuan City, Tao Ying grinned, his face was smoked, but his teeth were whiter. He took the cloth from the guard's hand and wiped his face vigorously, while smiling: "This stone grease is easy to use, but unfortunately it is a little missing." If I could have more, I would fill the entire moat city, and Liu He would be even more dumbfounded. Hehe, you losers, can you save some money, the enemy has withdrawn his troops, and you are still falling? ”

Tao Ying shouted as he rushed forward and stopped the soldiers who were about to dump the stone grease out, feeling very distressed. "You think you don't need money? It's very expensive, more expensive than the grease you use for cooking. ”

The soldiers came back to their senses, and hurriedly and carefully poured the stone grease back into the bucket and closed the lid again.

Wang Lang rushed over, scraped his forehead with his fingers, looked at the thick black mud, and sighed. This kind of stone grease is good, but the black smoke is very large, and it is very greasy, no matter how much soap is used, it cannot be washed, and the water that washes it down is similar to ink.

"General, how much is this stone grease bucket?"

Tao Ying turned his head to look at Wang Lang. "A thousand."

Wang Lang gasped. This barrel is not big, that is, about one stone, and it actually costs two thousand dollars? The price per catty is one hundred and twenty yuan, and the most expensive time is only seventy or eighty yuan, and under normal circumstances, it is less than twenty yuan.

"General, how much did you buy? Where did the money come from? ”

Tao Ying waved his hand. "Don't be too expensive, people don't want to sell it. If it weren't for me selling face and moving out the story of attacking Xiao County with the rebellious general, Xu Qi wouldn't even give me a bucket, and he was going to use it to defend Pengcheng. He pinched his nose, looked at the black mud on his fingers, and sighed again. The matter of money will be talked about later, if we can hold the East China Sea, we will have a chance to repay the money, if the East China Sea is lost, our father and son will not even have their lives, and this money will not have to be repaid. Oh, Brother Jingxing, have you noticed a situation? ”

"What's the situation?"

"Where did Chun Yuqiong go? Tanxian and Pengcheng are very quiet, is Chun Yuqiong watching from the sidelines, or has she gone somewhere else? ”

Wang Lang's face was a little red, but his face was covered with a light veil, and the light veil had been blackened by black smoke, so he couldn't see his face. But the panic in his eyes couldn't be hidden, Tao Ying could see it clearly, and suddenly his suspicions flashed. However, his attention then returned to Chun Yuqiong's going. He thought about it carefully, and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"It's bad, Chun Yuqiong won't be going to Qu County, right?"
