Recently, there have been more and more enemies who have come to harass, and their main targets are the food and grass of the army, and every time they miss a blow, they will immediately flee thousands of miles away, and then wait for the opportunity to move, and after several times, they have really burned a few wagons for them, and the price paid is hundreds of corpses. Reading at zero .

According to Xu Shu's words, these people are the cavalry sent by Liyang, and the cavalry has no role in defending the city, so they took the initiative to attack out of the city, just for the morale of the city, so it seems that the defender of Liyang should be a capable person.

Looking at the raging fire ignited by several trucks, Yuan Yun spat fiercely, and then ordered Shi Shen to erect all the more than 100 corpses with poles, and just stick them on the ground.

"Yuan Hou seems to be really angry." When Xu Shu spoke, he had already come closer, and like Yuan Yun, he began to watch the trucks burn.

Yuan Yun glanced at Xu Shu and said: "This time, the other party took advantage of us to hand over the military rations, but the few trucks at the end did not have time to take care of them, so they suffered from this great disaster, and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass died a total of twenty-three people. ”

Xu Shu laughed and said, "That's how it should be, it's happy enough, but now that these enemy horses have been harassing again, hasn't Yuan Hou thought about how to deal with them?" ”

Yuan Yun frowned and said, "Didn't Brother Yuan come to act as Benhou's staff?" Now why do you ask about Ben Hou? ”

Xu Shu arched his hand slightly and said: "It's just the harassment of a group of cavalry, Yuan Hou only needs to send more scouts out, and judge the opponent's movements in advance, so he should be able to guard against it." ”

"Mr. Yuan Zhi is right, since this is the case, it is better to send more scouts out, now we are five miles outside Liyang City, as long as it is in the afternoon, we can camp outside Liyang City, at that time the camp is stronger, these thousands of enemy cavalry will no longer play any role."

When Cao Ang spoke, he had already ridden to the middle of Yuan Yun and Xu Shu, his eyes never left the raging fire, and he was closely followed by more than thirty personal soldiers.

Xu Shu hurriedly saluted after seeing Cao Ang, and then said with a smile: "Dashuai's approach is very safe, once we set up a camp, with the power of the crossbow, these enemy cavalry can indeed no longer harass, but they have been wandering around the periphery, which is not a good thing, we always have to attack the city, once the camp is empty, maybe they will launch a surprise attack." ”

When Cao Ang heard Xu Shu say this, he immediately looked at Yuan Yun suspiciously, and he already understood in his heart that Yuan Yun hadn't told Xu Shu about the cannon, but he didn't know what the hell he was up to.

However, the city is about to be attacked now, and Xu Shu can't say anything before he understands his own situation, so Cao Ang smiled slightly and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Yuanzhi doesn't know, we have brought a sharp weapon to attack the city this time, so there is no need to send a large number of soldiers to attack the city as in the past, and there will always be heavy guards in the camp." ”

Xu Shu's face was shocked, and he didn't ask any siege weapons first, but quickly admonished: "Liyang was originally guarded by Yuan Tan, and he had already strengthened the city wall once at that time, and later Yuan Shang drove it away, and strengthened the city wall again, and built a moat. ”

Cao Ang nodded, and thanked Xu Shu a few words in his heart, after all, the other party was desperately thinking about the gunpowder army, so he felt that Yuan Yun should not hide the artillery, so he frowned at Yuan Yun, and then pointed at Xu Shu.

Yuan Yun looked at Cao Ang's appearance, and probably guessed what the other party wanted to do himself, so in the end he could only smile awkwardly and said: "Brother Yuan has never seen a cannon yet, and when you see it, you will know how powerful this siege weapon is, and the tactic of using a sea of people to climb the city is outdated."

As long as we hit it with a few cannons, it is estimated that no matter who the city gate is, it will not be able to resist it, and the range of the cannons is more than a mile, and the enemy's bows and arrows and catapults cannot reach it, unless they dare to go out of the city and confront the gunpowder army. ”

Xu Shu glanced at Yuan Yun in disbelief, and when he saw that the other party didn't look like he was lying, his face was shocked, and he said, "This kind of cannon really has such power?" ”

I explained to Xu Shu for a long time about the power of the cannon, and when Xu Shu finally understood, Xiao Liu had already returned, he was sent out by Yuan Yun before, and he had been chasing those Liyang's cavalry with more than a dozen people, the purpose was to figure out the opponent's stronghold.

Yuan Yun is not like Xu Shu, he just wants to take precautions, what he needs is to destroy all this enemy horse, otherwise a fly will always circle around his own camp, which will definitely make people sleep badly.

After Xu Shu listened to Xiao Liu's report, he realized that Yuan Yun's purpose was that there were at least two thousand enemy horsemen who had fled, and the infantry of the Gunpowder Army would definitely not be able to catch up, and the knights of the Gunpowder Army led by Yuan Yun were only one thousand, could he not be prepared to use a thousand people against two thousand?

"Is Yuan Hou planning to take the initiative to attack and annihilate the enemy's group of cavalry?" Xu Shu asked tentatively.

Yuan Yun nodded indifferently and said: "The other party killed Benhou twenty-three people, and several of them still know Lao Tzu, if they don't annihilate all the other party, they can let Lao Tzu's breath go down." ”

Xu Shu frowned and said: "General Cao Zhen's 10,000 cavalry has already followed General Zhang Liao to the north gate to set up an ambush at this moment, and now Yuan Hou's subordinates are only 1,000 cavalry available, so it is really unwise to fight against the enemy cavalry, Yuan Hou is temporarily angry, it is better for us to concentrate our forces to break Liyang first, and then turn back to clean up these enemy horses." ”

Yuan Yun decisively shook his hand and said: "Once Liyang City is broken, these enemy horses will inevitably run away immediately, and it will be difficult for Lao Tzu to chase them again, so today is the best time, Brother Yuan doesn't need to persuade him anymore, it is better to go with me to have a look, I guarantee that you can have a new understanding of the Gunpowder Army." ”

Xu Shu saw that Yuan Yun was so decisive, and wanted to persuade him again, but he heard Cao Ang on the side suddenly laugh and said: "Brother Yun, why did you make the mistake of this stingy ghost again, this is the case in the war, either you kill me, or I kill you, but there is no personal grudge."

However, since it is rare for you to lead your troops to meet the enemy in person, I will raise my hands and feet in favor of this, and this time I will allow you to lead a thousand cavalry into attack, and you must take all those enemy horsemen, and I do not need to take prisoners here. ”

When Xu Shu heard Cao Ang say this, he was shocked in his heart, and scolded Cao Ang as a faint handsome person and Yuan Yun as a fool.

But since Yuan Yun invited him to go with him, he could only nod his head and agree, and he was still thinking about it, since he promised to come to help him for the dividends of South Vietnam business this time, even if he took his life, he could only let it go, this is morality, and it must not be violated.

Yuan Yun looked at Xu Shu with a heroic look on his face, not to mention how happy he was smiling, Xu Shu was known as a famous military advisor of the Three Kingdoms, and he was not played by Lao Tzu.

In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain, and bullying Xu Shu, a person who has never seen the power of gunpowder, is really refreshing.

With Cao Ang's order, a thousand gunpowder knights immediately assembled, all of them were well-armed, gunpowder shells, incendiary bombs, and a large number of crossbow arrows were placed on horseback.

Xu Shu looked at these cavalrymen who only had a long sword as a weapon, and his heart was even more depressed, where is this to go to war, it is simply to send him to death, I heard earlier that although Yuan Yun is powerful, he has not experienced any battle formation, and when he saw such a ridiculous scene today, he really believed it, but it was a little late, and he had to accompany his life.

Yuan Yun waved his hand, and a thousand cavalry immediately rushed out after the horses of Xiao Liu and the others, now everyone is brave, the perennial training will be tested today, and all the knights are eager to fight the enemy now.

Yuan Yun looked at these killers whose eyes were about to spurt blood, and his heart immediately became worried, and he hurriedly called Shi Shen to warn that this operation must be like during training, and try not to fight in close combat with enemy horses.

Xu Shu didn't speak, just followed Yuan Yun's side closely, he was also prepared, once he found out that something was wrong, he would immediately rescue Yuan Yun with his martial arts, so that the other party could owe him a great favor, and the agreement to stay in Luoyang for three years could also be waived.

This surprise attack on the enemy cavalry is simply a joke, there is no need for an ambush, and there is no need for any careful planning, so it is to rush up and confront it head-on, when he heard this from Yuan Yun's mouth, Xu Shu completely gave up the hope of one percent, especially Yuan Yun also named this operation the Fly Annihilation War, which is simply child's play.

A thousand cavalry galloped for more than half an hour, during which scouts repeatedly came to tell the enemy's whereabouts, and the team kept changing directions.

Xu Shu was now a little puzzled, since the scouts of the Gunpowder Army were so powerful, why he couldn't prevent the other party's sneak attack before, resulting in several trucks being burned.

Yuan Yun rode on horseback and looked at Xu Shu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and immediately said aloud: "Brother Yuan, do you think that we shouldn't have lost a few trucks before?" ”

Xu Shu nodded and said: "That's true, since these subordinates of Yuan Hou are so powerful, why can't they take precautions early, and now they have successfully burned a few grain trucks by the other party, which is really puzzling." ”

Yuan Yun sighed and said: "This time is really our negligence, there are three enemy cavalry, every time they come out to harass us, they send one to attract us, and the other team launches a surprise attack, we also found out before, originally wanted to wait until after camping in Liyang, and then come to clean up this group of people, but I didn't expect them to dare to launch a surprise attack when they were close to Liyang City, so they were attacked."

Ben Hou's subordinates have confirmed just now that the enemy cavalry who succeeded in this sneak attack is fleeing in the opposite direction, if Ben Hou estimates that it is good, they are going to change people, so that another cavalry that is resting enough to come, at this time, as long as we catch up, we will definitely be able to take them all. ”

Xu Shu was a little sluggish, the number of cavalry against the enemy was already unbalanced, and now the opponent had three, where was the opponent of this thousand gunpowder army cavalry?

It's just that after seeing Yuan Yun's resolute eyes, Xu Shu was a little confused, could it be that those gunpowder are really so powerful, they can make a thousand people deal with a force several times their own?

Yuan Yun stopped talking after explaining these few sentences, after all, his riding skills are limited, and it is already very good to be able to catch up with the team, and it will be too difficult for him to talk on horseback.

In the evening of this day, a thousand knights of the Gunpowder Army finally discovered the newly sent enemy cavalry, their time was well controlled, and they met here at this moment, according to the time, when they went to the large army of the Gunpowder Army, it was when the moon was dark and the wind was high, which was very suitable for launching a surprise attack.

Seeing the other party galloping out of a mountain forest very leisurely, Yuan Yun just waved his hand, Shi Shen immediately issued an order, and more than a thousand gunpowder army knights instantly began to charge from all sides, which made the group of more than two thousand enemy horsemen panic instantly.

But to the surprise of these enemy cavalry, the other party rushed halfway and began to change direction, not rushing head-on, but detouring to both sides, this is definitely a taboo for the cavalry to charge, how can the cavalry break the momentum by themselves, so this group of cavalry in Liyang immediately became excited, for them, the enemy is a layman is better.

The leader of the enemy cavalry immediately gave an order, and the cavalry formation was immediately retracted, and the posture of preparing to meet the enemy was discharged, and the speed of the horses gradually increased.

The enemy cavalry territory is now in a hurry, the other party can shoot arrows on horseback, then it is definitely not a layman, so he ordered the team to continue to close, so as to ensure that more cavalry in the rear can survive, as long as the speed rises a little more, you can rush into the enemy formation, at that time, close contact, the arrow feathers are useless.

Unfortunately, everything was not what the enemy cavalry leader thought, and when their speed finally increased, what awaited them was countless incendiary bombs, and a large sea of fire, and it was impossible to imagine that the pillars of fire would rise from the dry land, and these terrible flames, as long as they were contaminated, seemed to never be able to shake off until they were burned alive.

And all this, people can't dodge at all, it's really that the horses have reached extreme speed, if they insist on pulling the reins, they will immediately be trampled into flesh by the cavalry brothers behind, so they can only charge hard, and luckily can pass through the wall of fire......

The battle ended very quickly, and the cavalry of the 1,000-gun army only built a few walls of fire, and then began to ruthlessly fire arrows at the enemy cavalry through the wall of fire, and after the time of a few incense sticks, the wailing cries could no longer be heard behind the wall of fire, and the wasteland outside the mountains and forests was calm again.

Xu Shu looked at the enemy army on the ground that was burned to black charcoal, and he didn't even want to speak, and he didn't even want to ask about the doubts in his heart, he suddenly found that he seemed to be helping Liu Bei fight a completely unwinnable war, because in the hands of Yuan Yun in front of him, there was an absolute power in his hands, and any strategy was just a joke.

And this time Xu Shu proudly thought that he was here to help, and now he found out that he was just brought by Yuan Yun to show off, that is, he was showing off these absolute powers to him one by one, and there was a more powerful cannon described in the back, these things were enough for him to tremble.

The future of Shinno seems to be dark, at least in the face of gunpowder and these incendiary bombs, there is no light to be found at all.

There was nothing new in the next battle, Yuan Yun was nothing more than a script, rehearsing the tactics just now, and the enemy cavalry was also completely annihilated on this night, according to Xu Shu's estimates, the other side lost at least 5,000 soldiers.

When I returned to the Gunpowder Army camp the next day, it was already under the walls of Liyang City, and the so-called cannon had also been erected, reflecting the morning sun, which looked very powerful and majestic, and I believe that the power was definitely enough to shock.
