Cao Cao never expected that Liu Qi would be so bold and immediately lead his army to attack Runan when Yingchuan had not yet been consolidated!

This is the largest county in Yuzhou, under the jurisdiction of more than 20 counties, the area is almost half of the entire Yuzhou, even the seat of Yuzhou Ancheng is here, for such an important place, Cao Cao is naturally to be heavily guarded, so he specially appointed Cao Xiu, who was praised by him as "my family's thousands of miles of horses", as the history of Yuzhou's assassination, the general of Zhengdong, so he still felt uneasy, under his command was equipped with full favor, Guo Huai, Wang Ling these famous generals, but he couldn't imagine that 50,000 heavy guards, famous generals gathered in Runan, why was it lightly broken by the enemy? What kind of ability does this Liu Qi have? How can such an accomplishment be achieved in just a few days?

In fact, Cao Cao can't be blamed for this, even the soldiers under Cao Cao can't be blamed, if you want to blame him, you can only blame his bad fate, and he actually met a freak like Liu Qi.

Liu Qi naturally knew that the south of the Cuo Runan was a strategic place heavily guarded by the enemy, and it not only gathered Cao Wei's famous generals here. There are also 50,000 heavy soldiers, if it is not for the benefits of the city, with the 10,000 Xiao Guards, 10,000 Wudang Fei Army, 20,000 Fu soldiers and Lu Meng's 30,000 troops under his command, he will naturally be able to win, but now the enemy army relies on the benefits of the city to hold on, even if there are 100,000 troops, they will not be able to pose any threat to Runan, where the city is strong and the soldiers are united.

But who knows? This time, Liu Qi used his most mysterious and destructive weapon so far, gunpowder.

This was the first time that Liu Qi demonstrated the powerful destructive power of gunpowder to the world.

As early as when Liu Qi and Lu Meng joined forces and besieged Ancheng, Cao Xiu was still secretly laughing at Liu Qi's inadequacy, because these few people in the city were all famous generals, and none of them were easy to match, and they believed that as long as they could not hold on. According to the proportion of casualties among the besieging soldiers several times that of the defending soldiers, it only takes the war to last for a month, and Liu Qi's army can only retreat helplessly under the decline of morale.

At that time, Liu Qi's army, which had lost its troops, would be the target of their counterattack.

In fact, what about Cao Xiu and others? Even Lu Meng didn't understand why his lord didn't directly wave his army from Yingchuan to Luoyang, but instead rushed three hundred miles. Rendezvous with yourself and attack the enemy's heavily defended Runan?

But Lu Meng knew that his lord seemed to be whimsical and out of order to fight, but every step was carefully considered, and the reason why he attacked Runan this time must be some kind of clever strategy.

Therefore, Lu Meng did not stupidly dissuade him, but followed the order and strictly followed Liu Qi's requirements.

Only more than ten days have passed. Lü Meng received Liu Qi's order to concentrate the army outside the northern city gate and wait for the order to attack the city.

"Does the lord have a fine work in the city? Can even these subtleties persuade enemy generals to open the city gates? If that's the case, it's not impossible for us to take Anseong. Lu Meng looked at the starry night sky and thought silently.

But more than an hour had passed, and it was nearly three watches, and I had not seen any vision of the city, nor had I heard the beating of the drums of the siege. Lu Meng doesn't know which one this is sung by the main singer? But he still kept his composure, and stopped the doubts of his soldiers. Continue to wait quietly.

After a short time, he saw the lord Liu Qi hand a package to a sergeant, whispered something in his ear, and then patted the sergeant on the shoulder, and stuffed something into the sergeant's hand, only to see the sergeant arch his hand to him. said resolutely: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission." ”

Then the sergeant was seen carrying the parcel and the thing that the main bus had given him, and then quietly went under the city walls.

Although the suspension bridge has been pulled up, Liu Qi has a way to cross the moat. Especially during the daytime siege, he had already ordered the soldiers to fill in several moats by laying the Hao Bridge.

From coming to Ancheng City to the present Zhejiang for nearly half a month, the reason why Liu Qi did not launch an attack was mainly to make siege equipment such as Hao Bridge and Cloud Ladder. And what made Lu Meng even more stunned was the siege equipment built this time. It turned out to be surrounded by a Hao bridge, but the number of ladders and other objects used to directly climb the city wall is very small, as if it is not used for siege at all, but only to confuse the public.

After the equipment was ready, Liu Qi ordered the siege of the city, due to the small number of ladders, the siege naturally would not have any effect, so Liu Qi just attacked for a while and ordered to retreat.

Of course, the bridge used to fill in the moat was left there, making the moat look as if it was flat.

It was precisely because of this that the sergeant who was ordered to go under the city walls could easily and casually arrive at his destination.

After a short time, Lu Meng suddenly saw a bright fire coming out of the city gate not far away, and then heard an earth-shattering loud noise, in the firelight, Lu Meng was surprised to see that the original impregnable city gate had already collapsed, and the towering city gate had become a pile of rubble, accompanied by some enemy soldiers who had long been crushed.

"This, what kind of weapon is this? How powerful is it? A deep shock appeared on Lu Meng's face, he couldn't imagine that there was such a powerful weapon in history, which was not a thousand times more powerful than the sledgehammer that Bolangsha had murdered Qin Shi Huang back then, and it was a hundred times more powerful than the catapult that destroyed the city wall, which was equivalent to the total power of hundreds of catapults throwing stones for two hours in a row.

And even if it is a stone thrower, it can only be destroyed little by little, but this mysterious weapon can produce such great power in an instant, which is really not something ordinary people can imagine.

At this moment, he heard the sound of the drums of the siege, and the frightened Lu Meng didn't think about it, and immediately led the army under his command to rush towards the gate of the city, which had long been in ruins.

When he arrived closer, Lu Meng found that not only the city gate, but also the nearby city wall had collapsed a lot, and now the city gate was more than ten zhang wide, enough for hundreds of people to cross into the city at the same time.

It was only at this time that the Wei army, which heard the loud noise, rushed to hear the sound, but before they could form a formation, they were attacked by Lu Meng's Danyang elite soldiers and slaughtered them wantonly.

Most of them didn't seem to realize that they were about to die, but looked at the collapsed city gate as if they had seen a ghost, with a look of disbelief: "Is it thunder?" The city gate collapsed in one fell swoop. But tonight is full of stars, where does the thunder come from? Besides, even if it is thunder, it can't split the entire city gate like this at once, right? What the hell is going on? ”

Just when these soldiers of the Wei army were despaired, Lü Meng led the soldiers under his command, but like a tiger into a flock of sheep, he launched a merciless slaughter of them who fell into sluggishness and chaos.

Although Cao's army gathered more and more, but because of the first attack by Lu Meng's army, coupled with the psychological shock caused by the collapse of the city gate, some people secretly said that this was a warning from heaven, indicating that the destiny of heaven was in Chu, and it was not human power to resist, as a result, the officers and soldiers of the three armies were even more chaotic, not only did not form effective resistance, but began to have a major rout, and the determination of all the people to defend the city collapsed in an instant, and tens of thousands of troops rushed to trample on each other and countless people died.

When I heard that the city gate collapsed in an instant for some reason, and the Chu army then attacked the city, although their own army fought hard, but still could not resist the enemy's offensive, Cao Xiu and Wang Ling, Guo Huai and other generals knew that this time Ancheng could not be saved, if Ancheng was lost, their best way was to flee from the north gate, and lead the defeated soldiers to Pingyu, Shangcai and other places to continue to hold on, but when they heard that the destroyed city gate was the north city gate, and the main force of the enemy army was gathering there, they knew that this time the city gate collapsed must be the enemy's trick.

Since it is impossible to go north, there are only three directions left, south and west, but the Runan County in the south, Xinxi, Shenyang, Yichun and other places in the west have been occupied by the Chu army, even if they flee there, it is useless, so now there is only one way to survive, that is, to flee east to Xincai, Gushi, Ruyin and other places to continue to resist.

At this time, Cao Xiu gave full play to his Qianli horse's ability to run, and under the protection of Wang Ling and Guo Huai, he went out of the East City Gate and began to flee eastward.

But his army had not fled far, and he heard a rumbling war drum, and then he saw a Biao army horse blocking the way, and among the torches, he saw a general riding a white horse, holding a Fang Tian halberd, and laughed loudly: "Cao Wenlie, this king has been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

Cao Xiu saw that Liu Qi was personally ambushed here, and he couldn't help but be frightened, although he had 20,000 defeated soldiers, where was Liu Qi's opponent? Therefore, Cao Xiu did not dare to answer, and immediately led the army to break through to the southeast.

Liu Qi laughed and immediately led the army to cover up from behind, where did Cao Xiu's rear army dare to resist? Either surrendered, or dispersed, and when Cao Xiu's army galloped twenty miles away, he calculated the losses and found that this easy battle had lost more than 3,000 men and horses, and now Cao Xiu only had about 17,000 people left around him.

Cao Xiu, who was exhausted, ordered the army to suspend the march and rest for a while before advancing, but before Cao Xiu's ass could sit firmly, he heard the sergeant's report, and Liu Qi led his troops to kill him from behind.

The frightened Cao Xiu ordered the army to assemble immediately and continue to flee forward, the soldiers were exhausted, and their movements were a little slower, and they heard the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound behind them, and the soldiers of the whole army had no choice but to continue to flee, but even so, the two thousand men and horses behind were still quickly dispersed under the onslaught of the Chu army.

Cao Xiu's army ran out for another twenty miles, and he was so tired that he ordered to stop and rest for a while, but he didn't expect that before he could burn a stick of incense, he heard the sergeant's report, and the Chu army chased after him again.

Cao Xiu was suddenly shocked and his face turned pale, he felt that his army was already the best at running in the world, but he didn't expect that the enemy army that was following was even better at running than them, biting himself tightly, did he really want to kill them all?

Although he cursed secretly in his heart, Cao Xiu didn't dare not flee immediately, because the lesson of the last time was there, they were only a little slower, and they lost two thousand men and horses, and if this time the action was not timely, it was estimated that it would also bring Yan zhòng's losses.
