Chapter 86: Pre-Battle Trading

"Will you be Zang Xuangao?"

Zang Ba saw that Liu Miao was still sitting on horseback, condescending, and was a little annoyed in his heart, but he still kept his face unchanged, and replied without humility or arrogance: "It is Zang Ba, the defeated army, who dare not be called a general!" ”

The corners of Liu Miao's mouth moved slightly, and then he said: "I am Jiujiang Taishou Liu Miao, I have heard the name of Zang Xuangao in Xuzhou for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really had something outstanding." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI just don't know why General Zang is ambushing my fleet? ”

"Why did Liu Taishou ask knowingly, today Zang Ba came out of the city to see him, just to ask Liu Taishou for a charter, what advice does Liu Taishou have, you might as well say it bluntly!"

"Okay, General Zang is quick to talk, and Miao won't go around in circles. If I want General Zang to surrender to me, will the general agree? ”

"As long as Liu Taishou agrees to me on one condition, it is okay for me to surrender."

"Tell me about it."

"My former generals are still under my command."

Liu Miao smiled and said lightly: "Liu Miao is not Tao Qian, and Zang Ba is not Langya's Zang Ba!" ”

Joke! How could Liu Miao agree to Zang Ba's conditions! He would never allow himself to be entrenched in his territory like Tao Qian, who was still entrenched in his own territory. Establish forces, not to mention, Zang Bajun is now just meat on Liu Miao's chopping board, and he can chop it if he wants.

Of course, Zang Ba understood what Liu Miao meant, and he also knew that his conditions were too unrealistic, he just said this to test Liu Miao's mind, who knew that Liu Miao was so direct, leaving no room at all. This is tantamount to another humiliation for Zang Ba, but he still has more than a thousand horses in the city!

"In that case, Zang Ba would rather die than surrender!" Zang Ba was quite tough and authentic.

Liu Miao was not surprised, Zang Ba has been a thief for a long time, and he has always been unruly, under Tao Qian in Xuzhou, even if he planted a big heel, it was difficult to change.

"Why don't we make a deal, that's what I'm going to do with you."

"What kind of deal?" Zang Ba was surprised.

Liu Miao said: "Let's cooperate in a play, there will be an offensive and defensive battle in this city, of course, it is a fake offensive and defensive battle, and then you send someone to ask Tao Qian for help, and tell him that I Liu Miao and the main force of the Jiujiang Army are all here." ”

Zang Bahu glanced at Liu Miao suspiciously, and said, "Why did Liu Taishou do this?" ”

"You don't care why I'm doing this, just know what's good for you. As long as you cooperate with me to send a letter to Tao Qian, after half a month, I will not only return all the captured soldiers and generals to you, but also let you leave. Liu Miao threw out a very tempting condition, he believed that Zang Ba would be tempted.

In fact, Zang Ba was really a little moved, although he didn't know why Liu Miao did this, but guessed that it should be related to the fight against Tao Qian, but how Tao Qian was not his concern, although he was considered Tao Qian's subordinate, but he had always been alone. Standing, on the contrary, Tao Qian planted his head, but it was good for him.

"You won't go back?" When Zang Ba was still weighing the pros and cons, Yin Li on the side questioned.

"Bold, my son-in-law's golden mouth is something that you, an unknown person, can question?" Hua Mulan held a gun and shouted, and if she didn't agree with her, she stepped forward and stabbed people.

Yin Li's face was pale, but he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Liu Miao signaled to Mulan not to be impatient, and did not look at Yin Li, and said coldly: "Zang Xuangao, it's not me Liu Miao who is arrogant, if I want to, this Xiangcheng can be beaten down, and your more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated army will not be looked at by me at all." The reason why I took the initiative to trade with you is that I don't want to waste too much time in Xuzhou, and second, I think that you Zang Xuangao is also a rare general. I am well aware of the relationship between you and Tao Qian, and this transaction will be beneficial to you and others. That's all it takes, it's up to you. ”

Zang Ba finally nodded, "Okay, since Liu Taishou has said this, I, Zang Ba, will not be ignorant." ”

"In order to show my sincerity, I will return the captured soldiers to you first, and tomorrow morning, our army will begin to attack the city!" After Liu Miao finished speaking, he made a gesture to Zhang Liao, signaling him to hand over all the captives to Zang Ba.

"Childe, do you really want to act with that Zang Ba? I know this siege, but how to act? Mulan asked.

Liu Miao smiled mysteriously: "It's acting or not acting, we still have to show our real skills to attack it once, so that Zang Ba knows if I'm talking wildly." ”

On the other side, Zang Ba returned to the city and told the generals the details of the meeting with Liu Miao, and several people were puzzled and said that there was a conspiracy.

Zang Ba stopped everyone's doubts and said: "Liu Miao does have a conspiracy, but it is not against us, but against Tao Qian, so for us, there is only good and no harm." However, this kind of charity is very uncomfortable, so tomorrow's offensive and defensive battle, whether Liu Miao is true or not, we must fight as a real battle, I want to show Liu Miao, even if I Zang Ba is defeated, it is not something he can take away! ”

"Good! I'll wait until I get ready. "Sun Guan is the most motivated, in the past, among several people, except for Zang Ba, he has the highest status, but after being captured this time, he always feels that his face is dull and he has no confidence to speak, so he wants to take this opportunity to breathe.

On the second day, as soon as the day dawned, there was a commotion inside and outside the city, and Liu Miaojun and Zang Bajun both had breakfast and prepared to start the offensive and defensive battle.

Liu Miao had already purchased a lot of siege ladders from the system workshop last night, and lined up in front of the formation for use in the siege.

In this siege, Liu Miao asked Zhang Liao to be the commander.

As soon as the time came, Zhang Liao ordered the drums to be beaten.

When the drums sounded, the two thousand Yuan Rong crossbowmen pushed the Yuan Rong crossbow, which had already been loaded with crossbow arrows, and marched in the direction of the city gate.

Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps......

The crossbowmen were getting closer and closer to the city, and they had reached the limit range of the crossbows in the city, but the Yuanrong crossbowmen still did not stop.

It wasn't until they were within eighty paces of the city that the Yuan Rong crossbowmen stopped, calmly adjusting the direction and angle of the crossbow.

Eighty steps, just within the effective killing range of the Yuan Rong crossbow. But for the Zang Bajun in the city, it was a very uncomfortable distance, they basically couldn't reach here, and it was difficult to cause damage to the Yuan Rong crossbowmen.

Xiaxiang City is a small city, and there are no ultra-long-range heavy crossbows such as bed crossbows and rhubarb crossbows in the city, let alone any city-guarding artifacts such as catapults. Zang Ba's long-range weapons only have bows and arrows and some small crossbow machines, and some soldiers with super arm strength, their range can reach more than eighty steps, but at this time there is not much lethality.

"Big brother, it's this hateful crossbow machine again, if we don't destroy these crossbow machines, we can only be beaten passively!" Chang Xuan said angrily.

"How to destroy? Unless there is a cavalry to go around its back. "Zang Badao," The advantage of that crossbow machine is that it can be fired continuously, but I expect that its range is not far, and now it is about eighty steps away from the city, and at most it can only play a suppressive role. On my orders, they all hid behind the walls, or defended them with large shields, and waited for their foot soldiers to come to the city before counterattacking. ”

"Knock knock!"

The war drums sounded again, and Zhang Liao shouted in front of the formation: "First row, shoot!" ”
