"Gongtai, you are fine anywhere, but you are too pessimistic...... Recently, why do you keep saying that you will destroy your own prestige by growing up others? ”

Lu Bu, who was in an irritable mood, glanced at Chen Gong, turned around suddenly, looked at Cao Xing, the cavalry general Cao Xing and Zhang Liao, who were standing side by side, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”

Cao Xing raised his arrogant head and looked disdainful: "It's just a show, as long as we gather 30,000 cavalry of our army, we can't win in battle!" ”

"This is a good man with iron bones!" Lu Bu showed a relieved smile on his face, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Zhang Liao after complimenting: "What about Wenyuan?" ”

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "Half a year ago, I have heard that the Qingzhou cavalry has unified its weapons and equipment, equipped with a high bridge saddle and horseshoes with double stirrups, and gradually abandoned the commonly used spears and long knives, and replaced them with special cavalry scimitars carefully built by several iron workshops in Qingzhou, so that the cavalry combat power has increased exponentially, and the loss of war horses has also been greatly reduced. ”

"Now it seems that both the Qingzhou Cavalry and the Langya Cavalry have all changed their outfits, and at least after at least half a year of training, their subordinates think that their combat power is ...... Its combat power will definitely not be below that of our cavalry. ”

The smile on Lu Bu's face disappeared suddenly, and he stared at Zhang Liao with a solemn face for a long time, and saw that Zhang Liao held his head high and said nothing, obviously insisting on his opinion, so he could only reluctantly turn to Chen Gong again: "Okay...... Strategist, do you think our army is out of the city to fight? ”

Chen Gong naturally refused: "The enemy's strength is almost five times that of our army, plus as many as 50,000 elite cavalry, our army has no certainty of victory in battle." It is imperative to mobilize personnel as soon as possible. Defend the city. As long as we make full use of the advantages of high walls and thick cities, we can achieve the goal of long-term confrontation and attrition of the enemy's army. ”

"In this icy and snowy land, we only need to hold on for a month, drag the enemy down, we will definitely be able to win the turnaround, and then accumulate strength, defeat the biggest opponent in front of us in one fell swoop, and then occupy Xuzhou!"

Lu Bu took a few steps helplessly. Suddenly he looked up and yelled, "Take my bow!" ”

The guards on the side hurriedly presented the giant longbow and a special long arrow, and Lu Bu, who was known as the "flying general", took the longbow, pulled out a sharp wolf's tooth long arrow, smiled coldly, raised the bow and arrows, and slowly aimed at Wang Qi under the banner of the hundred zhang outside the city.

"Be careful—"

It was too late for the adjutant general behind Wang Qi to exclaim, and the sharp arrow shot by Lu Bu condescendingly and angrily broke through the air like lightning, shooting Wang Qi, who subconsciously turned sideways, off the horse.

An incredible scene has occurred!

In the midst of the exclamations and cheers under and above the city, the long arrow did not pierce Wang Qi's body. Instead, it bounced high and then slid to the ground.

Wang Qi, the coach of the Langya Army who was knocked off the horse by the huge impact. Quickly got up from the snow, endured the stinging pain caused by the violent impact, swallowed the hot blood that surged up his throat, gently pushed away the two lieutenants who flew off the horse to support him, patted the snowflakes on his body, turned over again as if nothing was right, and then waved his hand vigorously, which immediately caused the tens of thousands of soldiers in this formation to cheer feverishly.

This result shocked Lu Bu and the left and right generals on the city tower, and Chen Gong, who was the first to react, couldn't help but lament loudly: "I didn't expect the Qingzhou armor to be so strong!" ”

The generals echoed the voice, and Cao Xing, the general who had the most research and favorite of the equipment of the Qingzhou Army, guessed in a low voice: "It is rumored that in the Zhushan Iron Workshop, which has the largest and most mysterious defense, there are more than 50 smelting and forging masters from all over the Han Dynasty, who are specially responsible for forging and testing various weapons and equipment, and constantly try to smelt, forge and precision machining with steel, gold and silver and other materials and various meteorites. ”

"Liu Zijian does not give these people a high status, and their generous treatment is not even under the Taishou, so I guess that although the armor on Wang Qi's body is similar to other generals, its texture and solidity are completely different, and it is likely to be the armor specially made by the group of smelting masters in the Zhushan Iron Workshop for the senior generals, so it can resist the general's arrow."

When the generals heard this, they suddenly realized, Lu Bu, who had a handsome face flushed, became angry, and quickly pulled out a special long arrow, wanting to bend the bow and shoot again, but at this time, Wang Qi was already surrounded by two lieutenants and a group of guards, holding high the banner and began to patrol in front of the formation, waving his hand to boost the morale of the army while walking, and everywhere he went, he caused bursts of enthusiastic cheers, and never gave Lu Bu at the head of the city a chance to do it.

Lu Bu knew that he would never have a chance to shoot the enemy general again, so he scolded angrily and loudly: "I can only say that Wang Qi is lucky, and he will definitely take his dog life next time!" ”

Compared with Lu Bu's unwillingness and shame, Wang Qi, who had serious internal injuries, was even more uncomfortable, endured a mouthful of hot blood that could spurt out of his throat at any time, gritted his teeth and closed his lips after completing the inspection, and nodded to Yan Shen, the deputy marshal who came to visit and skillfully followed him, Yan Shen, who saw that he understood his heart, led more than ten generals to hold high the battle flag, rushed to the front of the Chinese army to attract the attention of all the officers and soldiers, and then quietly returned to the rear camp under the escort of two personal guards, and spewed out a mouthful of blood when he entered the tent, and slowly fell down in the exclamation of the general in the tent.

Several highly skilled military doctors arrived quickly and quickly diagnosed the result: it was purely an internal injury, and his life was worry-free, but he needed to recuperate for at least half a month before he could get out of bed.

Liu Cun, who was furious, immediately ordered the news to be blocked, and knelt silently in front of the unconscious Wang Qi's couch for a quarter of an hour before slowly getting up and discussing countermeasures in a low voice with Gongsun Pei and Mi Zhu, who came one after another.

After weighing it repeatedly, Liu Cun sighed faintly: "Yan Shen needs to command the heavy cavalry used for the first time in actual combat without distraction, and the more than 20,000 light cavalry can only be led by me, otherwise the morale that has been mustered up will soon plummet." ”

Mi Zhu was a little uneasy when he heard this, and asked, "Is there no other general who can replace him?" ”

Liu Cungang was about to explain, but Gongsun Pei spoke: "If Taishi Ziyi or Xu Wenxiang or even General Guan Hai are here, any of them can replace Shoushan, but they are all stationed in Jizhou and Sili areas, and only Zijian himself can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and boosting morale." ”

"And...... I speculate that after the city is broken, Lu Fengxian will not choose to rush out of the east gate to fight to the death, because the east is the most dangerous and the most vulnerable to the heavy siege of our soldiers who are quickly coming from all sides, and if you want to survive, you can only choose to break through from the south or the west. ”

Liu Cun echoed casually: "This is indeed the case...... Unless Lu Bu wants to fight to the death, he will definitely not fight from the east gate, I have a plan for Mr. to refer to: if our army shows a little flaw in the west of the city, will Lu Bu choose to break through and escape from the west? ”

Gongsun Pei said with a smile: "At present, deep ditches have been dug outside the south gate and north gate, and a triple barrier has been erected, no matter how brave the enemy in the city is, he also knows the huge risks hidden in it, as long as he can blow up the north and south sections of the city wall in the early morning of tomorrow, Lu Fengxian has no choice ......"

"Even if Lu Fengxian knew that the lord did it on purpose, he would not hesitate to choose to break through from the flawed west, I think that if Yan Shen and the five thousand heavy cavalry led by him are quietly transferred to the west of the city, and cooperate with Zhao Zilong and Le Wenqian, who have already set up a heavy ambush, they may be able to receive unexpected results."
