The gate of Xuchang was opened, and under the leadership of five generals, Cao Ying gathered nearly 20,000 cavalry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info many of them are the personal guards of Cao Jun's generals. Of course, for the sake of victory, let alone a personal guard, even if he is a pawn himself, the generals of the Cao army will not have the slightest complaint. However, as soon as Cao Jun moved, Liu Zhang immediately got the news!

"King, let's withdraw!" The general guarding next to the equipment is Meng Da, who seems to have become a professional special soldier. Every time there is a fortification, the command of the instrument must be under his management. He also likes this position quite a lot, not only is there no danger, but he can also earn military merits, which is much better than those generals who can't get credit for playing with their lives!

"Zidu, are you afraid of death?" Looking into the distance, Liu Zhang didn't give any orders, but his tone made Meng Da a little puzzled!

"Don't be afraid!" Meng Da patted his chest and made an impassioned gesture, but Liu Zhang didn't look back, he showed it to the blind man!

"You lied!" Liu Zhang shook his head with a smile and asked, "Lone is the King of Qin, you don't even dare to tell the truth?" ”

"This—" Meng Da didn't know how to answer, he could only smile.

Liu Zhang said lightly: "It is normal for people to be afraid of death, except for those who are psychologically frustrated or really unable to live, everyone is afraid of death!" ”

He hesitated for a while. Meng Dacai asked, "King, are you also afraid of death?" ”

"Of course I'm afraid!" Only then did Liu Zhang turn around, pat Meng Da's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lone is also a human being, so he is naturally afraid of death." But there are some things, even if you are afraid, you have to face them! Cao Jun has sent five generals, and if we evacuate now, we will definitely lose most of the equipment in our hands. Pass the order, let the thunderbolt return to the camp, and then order the ballista, machine crossbow, bed crossbow and other equipment to form a formation, waiting for the enemy! We have to let Cao Ying know that siege machines can also kill enemies! ”

"The last general obeys!" Meng Da immediately passed the order, except for the thunderbolt, all the long-range attack equipment gathered, and slowly formed a three-semi-circular formation, and Liu Zhang and Meng Da were in the formation, and the rest of the soldiers were behind the formation!

After the thunderbolt retreated into the camp, Liu Zhang ordered the army to retreat more than 200 steps, how could he leave a distance for the cavalry to attack! However, the route of the Qin army's retreat was a little strange, because at the beginning of the retreat, the Qin army seemed to be lining up, retreating along several lines, and after retreating for a distance, they formed a formation again!

"The whole army obeys the order, charge!" General Lü Bu rushed out of the city with 20,000 cavalry, formed a formation at the gate of the city, and rushed towards the Qin army. At this time, the Qin army also retreated to its position and formed a formation.

"The whole army obeys the order!" Liu Zhang pulled out the snake sword and shouted: "Ahead, the first team prepares, and the second and third teams are on the arrow!" ”

"Titicaca—" The sound of a machine spring sounded, and all the instruments began to be loaded, but the crossbow cart with the closest range was at the end. The Cao army launched an attack, and 20,000 horsemen rushed towards the Qin army, and as soon as they entered the firing range, they heard a loud shout: "The first team shoots flat, and the second and third teams are ready!" ”

"Buzz..."The huge bowstring sound was like a hornet's nest that had been pierced, and the huge arrows used to attack the city flew towards the Cao cavalry. The dense cavalry formation, pierced by these huge arrows, actually pinned the men and horses to the ground together. Cao Jun was unlucky, and was even nailed to the ground by an arrow through several people.

"Spread out..."Lu Bu was shocked, he never thought that siege equipment could be used like this. Of course, this is not to blame him, except for the Qin Dynasty, among all the princes, only Liu Zhang is working on the assembly line. The princes who did not use the assembly line, the speed of equipment manufacturing can be imagined, which is also the reason why Zhou Yu dared to use 100,000 arrows in history to make Zhuge Liang difficult.

The commonly used arrows are very simple to make, nothing more than arrowheads, arrow shafts, and tail feathers glued. A craftsman under Cao Ying's command can make dozens of arrows in a day. A thousand craftsmen can make more than 10,000 at most. But Liu Zhang's engineering department, if you make ordinary arrows, you can make millions of arrows a day, because the process of making arrows is too simple. If each person is responsible for one step, only skilled hands are needed to assemble, and a skilled craftsman can assemble at least more than 1,000 arrows a day! Therefore, when Liu Zhang was attacking the city, he dared to consume a large number of arrows!

The three-stage shot composed of long-range siege equipment knocked Lu Bu out of the way. If he directly led his troops into the Qin army, Liu Zhang could only let the whole army press down. But he let the army disperse, and he missed a good opportunity. When he charged again, the Qin army's equipment caused him to lose a large number of soldiers. However, Lü Bu was worthy of being an outstanding cavalry commander, and he immediately saw the omission of the Qin army. He waved the halberd in his hand and ordered his corporal to rush into the Qin army at all costs!

"Lu Fengxian is really a hero!" Seeing that Lu Bu had found a way to break through so quickly, Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, but Meng Da, who was standing beside him, was a little anxious. These instruments are the efforts of the Ministry of Industry, and they are also the tools for Meng Da to obtain military merits, and Meng Da doesn't want these instruments to be ruined!

"King, if you let Lu Bu rush into the formation, these instruments will be finished, please think twice!" Meng Da gritted his teeth and stood up again, but Liu Zhang smiled!

"Zidu, don't worry!" Liu Zhang looked at Cao Jun in front of him and said, "Lu Bu is brave, but Gu is not a fool, look at it with peace of mind." I promise you won't destroy much of your equipment! ”

Meng Da was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "King, these instruments are yours, I'm just worried about you!" ”

"Lone understands, you look carefully!" Glancing at Meng Da, Liu Zhang didn't say much, because Cao Jun had already rushed to a place two hundred steps away from the siege equipment!

Suddenly, Sergeant Cao's horse that was rushing to the front stumbled, and then many of the horses under Sergeant Cao's crotch let out a neighing sound, and threw the knight on his body out!

"It's... What's going on? Lu Bu looked at his subordinates dumbfounded, but found that there were pits on the ground as big as the mouth of a bowl, just enough to fit a horse's hoof. No matter how stupid Lu Bu is, he also understands the cause and effect, he can't help but point at Liu Zhang and say, "Liu Jiyu, you are still so despicable!" You are all the King of Qin, and you won't fight head-on! Kind of come out and fight me! ”

Plucking out his ears, Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Lu Fengxian, after so many years, you are still such an idiot!" Soldiers, treacherous! If you are as reckless as you are, there is only one way to lose! You don't want to think about it, Cao Ying's martial arts are not as good as Lone, he can clean you up, how can Lone not be your opponent? The tiger prison is closed, and Lone slashes you with a sword, is the wound on your chest healed? ”

"You..." Seeing Liu Zhang uncovering his scars again, Lu Bu was furious, he raised his halberd and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, follow me to attack the Qin army, and now I swear to kill Liu Zhang!" ”

"Idiot!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said; "It's a miracle that he hasn't died for so many years. Of course, it is a miracle that this kind of person can stand it! Zidu, have you learned the command method just now? ”

"King Qiqi, I have learned!" Meng Da nodded, the three-stage shooting is to see the timing to release the arrow, if he can't learn this, he will be stupid!

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "You take over the command of Lone, and Lone is here to watch the excitement!" ”

"This..."Meng Da hesitated a little, he still remembered what Liu Zhang said just now, and he didn't dare to obey!

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice; "You are a general, it is your duty to command the army, you can't always come alone! Don't you have faith? ”

"Yes!" Please don't want to be despised by Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang, who handed over the command, rode aside to watch the excitement.

Meng Da, who took over the command, repaired Cao's army with countless arrows. Lu Bu is worthy of the name of a fierce general, and even a giant arrow like a spear, he can pick it up with a halberd. Although Yan Liang's four people were a little laborious, they were also constantly approaching the battle formation. Seeing that Cao Jun was getting closer, Meng Da was a little anxious. Just when Lu Bu was still twenty steps away from the battle array, a loud bang suddenly sounded, not only did the Cao army at the front disappear, but even Lu Bu disappeared!

I don't know when, a big pit appeared in front of the battle, and a large number of Cao soldiers rushed into the pit, including Lu Bu! The pit was full of swords, and almost all the soldiers and soldiers who fell into the pit were dead, and even if there was still a breath left, they were dying. Only Lu Bu was not only not killed by the sword in the pit, but also protected the red rabbit horse!

"Retreat..."The last means were also exhausted, Liu Zhang immediately ordered a retreat, although he really wanted to fall into the well, but there was only a few meters wide pit, and the war horse was easy to jump over, and the equipment in his hand was much more valuable than a reckless man like Lu Bu! However, it was precisely because Lu Bu fell into the trap that he was able to bring the equipment back intact!

"Liu Jiyu, you are despicable!" Finally rescued, Lu Bu looked at the Cao soldier in the pit, and his heart was still a little worried, if it weren't for the sudden pause of the red rabbit horse, he would have died in the pit. The angry Lu Bu invited Liu Zhang to fight again, but how could Liu Zhang pay attention to him? Gao Zu would never be stupid enough to fight Xiang Yu alone, and Liu Zhang would not compete with Lu Bu!

Watching the Qin army slowly retreat to the camp, Lu Bu sighed helplessly. Of the 20,000 cavalry, only 15,000 remain. He lost 5,000 horsemen in just one battle, and he was a little embarrassed to see Cao Ying. However, he still had to return to Cao Ying, so he could only take the remnants of his troops and retreat to Xuchang.

Back in Xuchang, Lu Bu knelt down in front of Cao Ying's couch, and then stopped talking, he really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Cao Zhang, as the son of Cao Ying, is quite eloquent, and he carefully explained the defeat of Cao Jun. Listening to the pitiful results and looking at the embarrassed Lu Bu, Cao Ying sighed and said, "After ordering Lu Bu to break off, retreat!" ”

After receiving Cao Ying's order, the helpless Cheng Yu began to prepare to retreat. That night, Cao Ying was carried into a carriage and slowly retreated towards Runan City with his army. In order not to let Liu Zhang know, Cheng Yu planted straw men all over the city, pretending to have a large army. It's a pity that everything can't escape the eyes of the Qin army scouts, and as soon as Cao Ying left the city, Liu Zhang knew about it.
