The sixty-eighth episode Liu Xuande is at the end of his rope

There is a reason why Qin Qiong is so weak, in history Qin Qiong is just a fierce general, he is very similar to Dian Wei, it is easy to charge into battle, but the others are not good.

The reason why he was able to rank with Guan Yu was because of this bravery and the identity of the door god. If it weren't for Li Shimin's nightmare, he would really not be qualified to be compared with Guan Yu.

Since Guan Yu joined the army, he has basically fought as the main general, and in the case of Liu Bei's division of troops, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are generally chosen, and Guan Yu has more chances.

And Qin Qiong basically did not appear in the war as the main general, basically as a deputy general. And he charges into battle by himself every time, and it is this bravery that he is known as the first fierce general.

Moreover, Guan Yu defeated many famous generals, killed Yan Liang, flooded the Seventh Army, defeated and captured Yu Ban alive, and suppressed Cao Ren. It can be said that these defeated generals are all famous generals under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Yan Liang is Yuan Shao's most powerful general, and Cao Ren and Yu Ban are the top five powerful generals under Cao Cao. One of these three people was killed by him, one was captured by him, and the other was suppressed by him, which shows Guan Yu's ability to fight.

And what about Qin Qiong? The ability to lead troops to fight is not the best, and he has no achievements in strategy, nor does he have the ability to govern the country, so he is really much worse than Guan Yu.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Guan Yu's disadvantage, it would be almost impossible to kill him.

However, Guan Yu has been killed now, and Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen are left. It can be said that these five talents were paid attention to by Zhang Yi, and the others Zhao Yu was not worried at all. According to Zhang Yi's observations, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi are here, and Zhang Fei must stay in Gushi.

Now Zhang Yi is thinking about how to kill Zhang Fei too, and let Zhang Fei run away will be in trouble.

Zhang Yi thought for a while and called Xue Rengui: "You go to Gushi, keep an eye on Zhang Fei for me, if he wants to escape, you will chase him and kill him!" and occupy the city of Gushi, and hold on there. ”

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Please rest assured, lord." ”

After releasing Xue Rengui, Zhang Yi was relieved. After destroying Guan Yu's battalion, Zhang Yi's logistics crisis was gone, and after the logistics were smooth, Zhang Yi could get weapon reinforcements.

Lu Su transported fifty ballistas from Shouchun, and Zhang Yi arranged these ballistas on the front line. Rockets are fired into it every day, and there are very few rockets in this era, because the oil that can make the arrows on fire is very difficult to get.

At this time, tung oil is mainly used, and tung oil is vegetable oil, that is, oil squeezed from plant seeds. Tung oil is actually more used as a lubricant and binder, so tung oil is relatively viscous, and the flammability is not strong, so it is easy to extinguish. Therefore, it cannot be used as an incendiary material for rockets, but can be used as fuel for fire attacks.

The oil used by Zhang Yi to make rockets is not tung oil, but lard! Pigs have been raised for a long time, but there are very few people who raise them, because the pork is not delicious and smelly. Pork at this time was eaten by the poor, the real poor.

Zhang Yi relied on the foresight of the times to invent the method of inciting pigs. Only after the pig is fanned will the meat not stink. So in recent years, there have been more and more people raising pigs, and as a strategic item, Zhang Yi has accumulated a lot.

Lard does not burn easily when it solidifies, but it burns easily when heated. As long as it was used before the lard solidified, the oil was packed in a small jar, then lit with strips of cloth and shot into Liu Bei's camp with crossbow arrows.

Zhang Yi surrounded Liu Bei, although he didn't know what his plans were. But Zhang Yi still decided to consume Liu Bei's grain and grass reserves, and these crossbow arrows were fired at the place where Liu Bei might store grain and grass.

Soon, a fire broke out in the camp, which was discovered by the defenders, who were busy for a while before extinguishing the flames.

Zhao Yun led people to put out the fire, and after checking the damage, he immediately reported to Liu Bei. "Lord, just now the grain and grass were ignited by Zhang Yi's rocket, and dozens of stones of grain and hundreds of stones of forage were lost."

Liu Bei sat in the tent with a sad face, he was really a little desperate at this time. Zhang Yi surrounded the entire battalion, Liu Bei never found a flaw, and it was impossible to break through the six or seven times the siege.

Liu Bei has been standing still for the past few days, just to find Zhang Yi's flaws, even if Zhang Yi attacks the camp, as long as Zhang Yi moves, he can find the flaws.

But Zhang Yi just didn't move, and fired rockets to burn his grain and grass. In such a situation, Liu Bei really has nothing to do.

"Zilong, when do you think we should break through?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhao Yun said: "Zhang Yi has not shown his flaws yet, and it is difficult to break through!" Back then, the overlord of Chu broke through the siege, and his success was all due to the bravery of the overlord and the weakness of Gaozu's soldiers. Now Zhang Yi's soldiers are elite divisions, and we do not have the courage of overlords, so it is very difficult to break through. ”

Liu Bei said with a sigh: "I regret not listening to Zilong's words at the beginning, so that I am in such a situation. ”

Liu Bei really regretted it, he only now knew the consequences of going against Zhang Yi. If he had known, he would definitely not have agreed to Cao Cao's proposal.

Even if he started over, he didn't want to be in danger. Because once he is dead, it is useless to have more soldiers and horses. Liu Bei has no descendants until now, he is dead, and there is no successor to his career.

For ten days in a row, Zhang Yi still shot rockets every day. Zhang Yi can calm down very much, he is not in a hurry at all, Liu Bei is already a turtle in the urn, he doesn't need to change, he just needs to maintain the status quo.

If Zhang Yi doesn't move, Liu Bei's side will be finished. The grain and grass in Liu Bei's army have been almost consumed, and if he doesn't break through, he can only wait to starve to death.

With no choice, Liu Bei had no choice but to lead the army to break through. At first, he still held the possibility of understanding with Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi shot all the people who came out of the camp, and he didn't talk nonsense with Liu Bei at all.

Jian Yong was also shot because of this, if it weren't for his fate, he would have summoned a military general to Zhang Yi a long time ago. Zhang Yi has never received news from the system, which means that Jian Yong is not dead.

The possibility of reconciliation was cut off, and Liu Bei summoned Zhao Yun and Chen Dao and began to discuss how to break through. Liu Bei is ready to break through in the next few days, he can't wait any longer, he is not a person who will sit and wait for death.

The breakthrough during the day was too obvious, and Liu Beijun prepared to break through at night. He also has some careful thoughts, he wants to take advantage of the darkness to leave with his henchmen, as for those ordinary troops, don't do it!

The most important thing for him now is to save his life, and everything else is secondary. If the soldiers and horses are gone, they can be recruited again, if the territory is gone, they can be grabbed again, and if the people are gone, there will be nothing.
