Seeing that Cao Bing entered the firing range, Liu Yong gave an order, and the crossbowmen in the city pulled the trigger, only to hear the chaotic sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt turns out that Liu Yong's crossbowmen now use strong bows and crossbows, which are far more powerful than before. And because Cao Ren was in a hurry to catch up, the soldiers he brought with him were all lightly armed, and the shields used were also ordinary light shields, how could they resist the power of the crossbow. The bolt not only pierced the shield, but also wounded the soldier holding the shield. The spearmen relied on the cover of other soldiers, and when they were not covered, they became live targets, and when they saw that something was wrong, they fled back one after another.

Cao Ren saw that it was not good, so he waved the flag and organized archers to shoot at Liu Yong. Although Cao Ren's archers were numerous, they suffered a lot from shooting from the bottom up, and the arm strength of these people was far inferior to Liu Yong's, so the battle was extremely embarrassing. Standing close, he became a live target for Liu Yongbing, who was condescending and took advantage of everything; Standing far away, looking at the arrows like flying locusts, the momentum is overwhelming, but most of the arrows can't reach the city. Cao Ren was furious, and ordered all the sword and shield soldiers to risk death and injury to cover the archers to shoot at the city, which was quite effective, because Cao Ren's soldiers were more than ten times larger than the defenders of the city, so although there were many casualties, they still easily advanced to the range of bows and arrows, and thousands of arrows shot towards the city tower, suppressing Liu Yong's crossbowmen in the battlements and not daring to show their heads.

Cao Ren laughed, waved his hand, and rushed to the city gate with a team of spears and horses. Anchang City is very small, the city gate is just an ordinary wooden gate, and there is no moat, after a while, Cao Ren's horse team rushed to the city gate, rushed into the road, cut through the wooden gate, just wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, suddenly "boom", the horses in front fell into a big pit, and the back were caught off guard, and fell in. Liu Yong's long knife soldiers and spearmen who were ambushed on the left and right did not hesitate, and they stabbed and slashed indiscriminately, killing a lot more.

Cao Ren's archers and sword and shield soldiers saw that their companions were killing and rushed into the city gate, and they all thought that victory was in sight. I also wanted to enter the city to make a great contribution, so I didn't shoot intensively at the city. It didn't matter if it stopped, Liu Yong's crossbowmen finally found an opportunity and fought back with crossbows. Specializing in archers, this time the arrow did not miss, and a large piece was knocked down. Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, and seeing that the city gate was open, the soldiers had no choice but to rush forward desperately. Cao Bing, who was in the passage, saw his companions in front of him fall into the pit and were killed one after another. Frightened, he turned around and fled. Because both sides did not know, so the back desperately squeezed forward, and the front desperately retreated, and the two wrestled, because there were far more people entering the city than leaving the city, and many soldiers were squeezed into the pit and were killed immediately. By the time the reaction came back and it was a dead end to move forward, it was already beyond regret and wanted to cry without tears.

Cao Bing was in a dilemma, panicking. Liu Yong's next team of crossbowmen fired at them. This road was extremely narrow, and there was nowhere to hide, so Cao Bing suddenly became a mess and fled desperately. By the time Cao Ren reacted and Mingjin withdrew his troops, most of the besieging troops had been killed or wounded.

Cao Ren saw that the losses in this battle were extremely heavy, and he was even more furious, and scolded: "Liu Yong, I swear to kill you to avenge this." ”

Liu Yong's victory was resounding, and the sergeants clapped their hands in celebration, while Liu Yong and several other commanders were still worried. Dong Xi said: "Brother." Although we won for a while, Cao Ren still outnumbered us. Even if we besiege but not attack, we will not have enough food and grass, and we will soon be defeated without a fight. Zhou Cang also said: "Now Cao Ren is advancing lightly. We can still resist, if Xu Du or Runan come to help, and there are ladders and heavy shields, we can't resist, I'm afraid we can only fight to the death and break through this way. ”

Dong Xi sighed and said, "I'm leaving." It was possible to leave two days ago. It's just that we are still keeping the Holy One safe, how can we just leave? Zhou Cang was speechless.

Liu Yong was silent, and said after a moment of silence: "I also thought of what you said." In this way, tonight I will arrange some night guards to take care of each door, and I will go to meet the Holy One first, and everyone will think about whether there are any other good ways. ”

Pei Yuanshao said: "I'm afraid that it's not appropriate to leave only a few people to guard the door, what if Cao Renchun comes to steal the city at night?" ”

Liu Yong said: "Cao Ren returned from a big defeat today, he will only be afraid that we will steal the camp and rush out of the city by taking advantage of the situation, how dare he come to steal the city." Let our sergeants rest well tonight, and tomorrow I am afraid that it will be another fierce battle. ”

Liu Yong saw that Emperor Xian was sitting alone and pondering, and hurriedly leaned over to salute. Emperor Xian sighed: "Chongru has outstanding wisdom and cunning, and his men are brave and tenacious, it is extremely easy to break out of the siege of Cao Ren. It's just that I'm dragging you down. ”

Liu Yong was so ashamed that he kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty's words make the ministers embarrassed. The ministers are guilty of a great crime, and the ministers are not careful in their actions and plans, so that His Majesty is in danger. ”

Emperor Xian sighed and comforted: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." Reverence is like loyalty, how can I not know? I have an idea, what do you think? ”

Liu Yong was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Xian said: "What Cao Ren wants, but it is me." How about I go out of the city tomorrow to meet him, and exchange me for your escape? ”

Liu Yong was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, you must not." The ministers took this risk, that is, to let His Majesty break away from Cao Cao and reinvigorate the Han Dynasty, how could they let the Holy Lord return to Xu Capital and be at his mercy. ”

Emperor Xian sighed: "Aiqing is loyal, and I am grateful. It's just that Cao Ren is very tightly besieged, and Liu Biao's soldiers and horses may not come, so why bother adding more casualties. ”

Liu Yong kowtowed and said: "If Your Majesty goes, the ministers will give up all their previous achievements, and what face will they have to face the world." Your Majesty can rest assured that the ministers are broken bones, and they must also keep Your Majesty safe from danger. ”

Emperor Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay." If there is still no good plan in the end, Aiqing needs to listen to me. Liu Yong was ashamed and moved, so he had to agree.

At this time, Cao Ren in the Cao camp was furious, scolding the messenger sent by Runan: "Why didn't Xiahoudun send troops to help? The messenger said, "The general is angry." General Xiahou had personally led most of his troops to help the general, but unexpectedly, the man doctor came to report that Runan was suddenly attacked and the situation was critical. If Runan is lost, there will be no barrier in Xudu, and the prime minister is far away in Youzhou, General Xiahou has to go back to the army to rescue, so he can't come to help the general, please forgive the general. ”

Cao Ren was shocked and angry: "Is it Huang Zu or Sun Quan?" ”

"I don't know where it is, I don't play a flag, and my clothes are very messy, but I have a good way to advance and retreat, and I have a good schedule, and I am quite disciplined, and I must be well-trained on weekdays."

Cao Ren was angry and anxious, raised his leg and kicked the messenger, and scolded: "Get out! Cao Ren's anger did not subside, and someone said: "General." Liu Yong won a big victory today, and his arrogance is blazing, and he is afraid that he will take the opportunity to rob the camp. ”

Cao Ren snorted: "I'm afraid he won't come." Come on, tell the battalions not to sleep tonight, lie in ambush outside the camp, and just wait for Liu Yong to attack, and then kill him with no bones left. ”

This night, heavy snow suddenly fell in the sky, Cao Bing slept in the wilderness, waited all night, but did not even see a figure, cold, sleepy, exhausted. Cao Ren was indignant in his heart, and received a report from the right army, and met Guan Yu and Zhao Yun in the new field, and was defeated. At this moment, the situation was extremely urgent, worthy of Cao Cao's general, Cao Ren's heart calmed down, and he ordered to guard the eastern, western, and southern gates of Anchang, waiting for reinforcements from Xudu.

Liu Yong didn't know the information of Xiangyang and Fuyi, and when he saw the heavy snowfall, he was even more anxious, and after thinking about it all night, he had a plan. Liu Yong, like Cao Cao, would never act arbitrarily, and immediately convened a meeting at all levels above the captain to listen to everyone's speeches, so as to brainstorm and work together to get a perfect plan.

Someone said, "General, now we don't know any outside news. I'm afraid that Cao's reinforcements are coming, and I think there is only one way to break through. Another said, "I agree." We don't have much food and grass, Cao Bing just won't attack, and we won't be able to support it in a few days. Everyone echoed and talked about it.

"I agree with you that breaking through is the only way out, and we have to do it as soon as possible. But the question is when will we break through, how will we break through, and what will we do after the breakthrough, have you thought about it? Liu Yong said.

Everyone looked at Dong Xi, and Dong Xi said: "We discussed for a while, and we plan to divide the troops into two ways. The first team of me and the 2nd and 3rd battalions went out of the city first to attract Cao Ren's heavy troops, and the general's spy company and Zhou Cang's 1st battalion escorted the saint to break through from the other gate. ”

Liu Yong shook his head and said, "Liu Yong, thank you brothers for their wrong love. Cao Ren is not a brave and unscrupulous person, and he will never be fooled if he can't see me or the emperor. Everyone was silent for a while, only to hear Liu Yong say again, "I also have a way to attack the west, let's ...... like this."

"I don't agree, it's too dangerous on the general's side." Dong Xi and the generals opposed it one after another.

"I can't say that Cao Ren's reinforcements will arrive in an instant, we can't afford it. Do you have a better way to do this? Liu Yong asked rhetorically, and said in an unquestionable tone, "The time is urgent, the military order is like a mountain, there is no need to discuss it, you can prepare according to what I said." Everyone couldn't, so they had to cherish each other with tears in their eyes, hug and say goodbye. The love of brotherhood and brotherhood are all turned into this deep embrace.

Liu Yong made proper arrangements and went to see Emperor Xian again. Emperor Xian also seemed to have not slept all night, and his expression was very haggard. Liu Yong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a plan, please allow Your Majesty." ”

After hearing this, Emperor Xian's heart was stirred, he helped Liu Yong up, and said sincerely: "Aiqing's move is extremely dangerous, so how can I feel at ease." ”

Liu Yong bowed and said: "This is the duty of your subordinates, Your Majesty does not need to mind." ”

Emperor Xian said: "If Aiqing has any requirements, I will do my best to meet them." ”

Liu Yong said: "The minister has a matter, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

"Chongru but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Liu Yong bowed down and bowed again: "Your Majesty please give me a marriage." ”

Emperor Xian was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Okay! Good! I marry Aiqing, get up. Liu Yong was overjoyed and asked someone to spread a piece of silk cloth on the table. Emperor Xian lifted the pen, thought for a while, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the writing will be up.

Liu Yong looked at Emperor Xian and wrote: "General Yangwei, Marquis of Mu Township, Liu Yong is elegant, patriotic, loyal, and is the arm of the society." Liu Jun is loyal to the country, shares worries for me, and exhausts his worries, and has been fighting horses for many years, but he still has no home, and I am very uneasy. Now I gave Diao Chan and Cai Yan ......" and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Liu Yong said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, there are two more." Emperor Xian smiled and continued: "...... Qiao Ying, Dong Yun and other women are worthy of wives. May husband and wife be harmonious, and the piano and the piano be harmonious. The winter of the sixth year of Jian'an. Liu Yong was overjoyed, and was about to kowtow to thank him, and offered the emperor to say: "Take another piece of silk." ”

Liu Yong didn't know what he meant, but when he saw Emperor Xian writing on another piece of silk, the more Liu Yong looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more grateful he became. (To be continued.) )
