Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Feng Xiu's construction to Liu Bei is good, Zhang Xiu, who is also far away in Wancheng, has also slowly fallen on Feng Xiao's time, although Jia Xu next to Zhang Xiu can see it, but since the last time he descended to Cao, he has become lonely, and it is his idea to descend Cao, and he also guides Aunt Zhang Xiu to talk about life ideals by Lao Cao, which is also inseparable from Jia Xu, so Jia Xu is now in order not to be overly hated by Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu has some places even if he sees it, he will not say it!

Just when Liu Ranran and Feng Xiao were preparing to do a big job and yearn for a better future, the good news came! Guan Yu lost Shouchun! In one day, all the city defenses of the entire Shouchun City were completely lost!

"Second brother, how is it possible!" Liu Ranran was stunned, his second Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, that is not an idle person, not to mention martial arts, there are few people in the world who can beat Guan Yu, not to mention that Guan Yu also has a must-kill drag knife skill that can kill people who are one point stronger than Guan Yu! Although Guan Yu's martial arts are very strong, they are not much higher than Zhang Fei, but Guan Yu is handsome in Liu Ranran's mind, Guan Yu can stand alone, which can be seen from Liu Ranran's always let Guan Yu be the main general, on the original trajectory Guan Yu is even the principal of Jingzhou, although he lost Jingzhou carelessly in the end, it is undeniable that Guan Yu is very strong in the ability to command troops!

Military generals are not terrible, but they are afraid that military generals are educated! No matter how strong a person is, as Xiang Yu said, he is only a thousand enemies, and a person who really knows how to command troops is the real enemy of ten thousand people, and Guan Yu, who has always held the Spring and Autumn Period and studied the art of war, is such a ten thousand enemies.

Guan Yu has 10,000 horses under his command. These 10,000 soldiers are all elite Qingzhou soldiers. In addition, there is a place where the important town of Shouchun is easy to defend and difficult to attack. No matter how hard you fight, you can't just throw it away in a day! You must know that Anhui City, which is also an important town, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, stubbornly resisted the attack of Sun Ce's 100,000 army. And now that the attacking party is Lu Bu's army, how many men can Lu Bu send to attack Shouchun! Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?

"General Guan, where are you now!" Pang Tong frowned, even if he Pang Tong had 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, he would not be able to break the city in one day, Pang Tong had already counted all the men and horses under Liu Mang's command, more than 10,000 sailors. 3,000 city management troops, as well as 3,000 black chess troops, no matter how Hefei recruits the order, Pang Tong also took it into account, and at most he will add 10,000 soldiers and horses, but only 30,000!

30,000 people fight a town guarded by 10,000 elites, even if it is lost, it should last for ten days and half a month! Even if it's a pig, it can be guarded, what do you want in Shouchun, military rations. Ordnance and even Pang Tong let Guan Yu drag Lu Bujun like a nail in Shouchun. also transferred almost all the arrows in the army to Guan Yu to defend the city! But now the city is lost!

"The second general is on his way back to the army, and the 10,000 army didn't bring much grain and grass with him, so it's very slow!" The herald gasped and explained to Pang Tong and Liu Runran.

"An army of 10,000?!" Guan Yu brought a total of 10,000 people, and now he still has 10,000 people in his hands? What does this mean? It shows that Guan Yu is not a broken city at all, but a city that he gave up, otherwise how could there be an army of 10,000!

"Nonsense, nonsense! How did this second brother become like this! "Liu Ranran was a little angry, if he was worried about Guan Yu's safety because of the destruction of Shouchun City, then now he is really dismayed, Pang Tong's strategy is to nail Shouchun to death, and use Shouchun as a bridgehead to prepare for the next sweep of Yangzhou, which is also a precursor to prevent Lu Bu's army from defending along the Yingshang Huai River!

But now Guan Yu gave up Shouchun without fighting at all, what the hell is he thinking, Pang Tong didn't speak, and he didn't understand what this Guan Yu was thinking! Although he was valued by Liu Bei, he also worshiped as a military advisor, and even Liu Bei respected himself very much and called himself Mr! But Pang Tong knew that he was still an outsider compared to Guan Yu after all, so he couldn't say that Guan Yu was bad!

Fortunately, just when the two of them were in deep thought in the hall, there was movement outside the hall, "Second General, wait, wait!" The guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop the visitor, but they were pushed away by the visitor, and it was a green-robed and red-faced warrior with a black beard on his face that dragged all the way to his chest, and a large knife in his hand held to the side.

"Second brother?" Liu Ranran and Feng Yan, who were sitting at the table, hurriedly stood up, and the person who came was none other than Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who the two were discussing just now!

"Big brother!" As soon as Guan Yu saw Liu Ranran, he immediately knelt down, "Big brother, Guan Yu has lost this Shouchun City because of his eldest brother!" Please also ask the eldest brother to punish him" Guan Yu had a look of shame on his face, and knelt down in front of Liu Ranran.

"The last general will live up to the trust of the lord, and ask the lord to punish him!" Several generals standing behind Guan Yu saw that Guan Yu knelt down, and they didn't have a reason to stand, so they also knelt on the ground one by one and asked for punishment for Liu Ranran.

"Second brother, second brother! It's good if people come back, and people will come back! "Liu Ranran is worthy of being a person who can win the world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he has studied the psychology of people very thoroughly, according to the average lord, he will be very angry even if he doesn't say anything, but Liu Ranran didn't ask Shouchun how he lost it at the beginning! But as soon as he came up, he cared about Guan Yu's safety, and this hand was very well used!

"Hurry up, hurry up, let the big brother take a good look!" Of the three friends of Taoyuan, Liu Ranran is the most motherly, but this kind of mother is the most soft for tough guys like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, because this is a kind of concern that other brothers do not have.

"Big brother!" The more Liu Ran cared, the more Guan Yu felt bitter in his heart, and he was also very ashamed.

"Second general, this Shouchun thing?!" Liu Bei didn't speak, so naturally Pang Tong came to be the person who inquired, and Liu Bei also interjected on the side and said that Mr. Let Yun Chang rest for a while before talking, it's very tiring to work hard all the way! Although Liu Bei said this, his eyes were always on Guan Yu, and he wanted to know more urgently than anyone else what was going on with this Shouchun.

"Big brother! Let's let Guan Yu say it first! Guan Yu stood up under the support of Liu Ranran, and his army was brought back by Guan Yu's lieutenant general, Guan Yu wanted to discuss things with his eldest brother first, so he left the army early. Rode back to Runan on horseback.

"Big brother. This time it was not Yu who was willing to leave Shouchun behind. It's that this Shouchun City really can't be defended! "Guan Yu's mouth is full of bitterness, since he Guan Yu followed his eldest brother Liu Bei, there have been no less than 100 wars of this size, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eighteenth Road Princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, where is there no figure of him Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, the reason why Guan Yu is called a martial saint is because Guan Yu not only knows martial arts but also knows soldiers and horses! So when I learned that Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Hefei, had arrived in Shouchun to prepare to attack Shouchun. Guan Yu is not worried at all, he has 10,000 Qingzhou elites under his command, and he has the tall city wall of Shouchun, which is an important town, it can be said that he Guan Yu even disdains Liu Mang, the king of Shu, Guan Yu has always been to understand Liu Mang, he has also seen Liu Mang when Liu Mang was in Kaiyang City, Guan Yu has seen Liu Mang, Liu Mang almost vomited blood in Cao Cao, but Guan Yu has a good impression of Liu Mang!

After that, Lu Bujun left Xuzhou, and the battle at the foot of Bagong Mountain and in Anhui City pushed Liu Mang to the forefront. It can be said that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is also a person who knows soldiers! But what about that? With Shouchun here, don't want to break through Shouchun City without an army of 50,000!

Defend the city. It is nothing more than to prepare military rations and materials, and the falling wood and rolling stones are ready for boiling oil! There are 30,000 stones of grain and grass in Shouchun City, which is enough for 10,000 troops for a year, arrows! There are 200,000 arrows in the city, and these are all transferred by the military advisor Pang Tong to Liu Bei! Falling wood and rolling stones can't be counted! Now that the ordnance is available, all that's left is the men and horses! Guan Yu's Qingzhou soldiers are also elite!

These former Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army adapted, even if they encountered Lao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, they dared to counterattack, so their combat effectiveness was very amazing, just when Guan Yu was always ready, ready to wait for the arrival of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Liu Mang's vanguard arrived!

As soon as the vanguard took up a position outside the city, Guan Yu laughed, is this King of Shu exaggerated! I haven't fought before! How many people did Liu Mang bring? It makes people laugh when they say it, and they brought two battalions of soldiers and horses from the Chengguan Army and the Black Chess Army, even if the Chengguan Army and the Black Chess Army have expanded their troops now, but they add up to no more than 10,000 people, and you use 10,000 people to attack another city defended by an army of 10,000 people? That's a joke!

Originally, Guan Yu thought that there was fraud, because there should be 30,000 people under Liu Mang's command, but now there are only 10,000 people, where are the others, but the information from the scout is that the 12,000 sailors under Gan Ning under Liu Mang have taken Lujiang County directly! Now Guan Yu is really relieved, this King of Shu is definitely a figure who doesn't know anything about soldiers, I'm afraid that the battles he fought before were all helped by those generals under the command of Lu Bujun, and finally brought his name!

Guan Yu has seen too much of the things that are not worthy of the name!

Liu Mang has no more than 10,000 people, among which the black chess army is still a heavy armor foot soldier, and the heavy armor on his body is not the alloy armor worn by the city management army but a real iron product, those heavy armor are more than 100 catties, wearing these to climb the ladder and climb the city wall, isn't it a joke! What kind of ladder can hold up!

So Guan Yu was very indifferently ready to watch Liu Mangjun's jokes, but he couldn't laugh after a while! Because Liu Mang's troops stopped at a distance of five hundred steps from the city wall, this distance was exactly where the arrows thrown from the city wall could not shoot!

At this time, a gold-armored general came out of the Chengguan army, followed by a veteran in battle armor, this is Liu Mang and his proud assistant Huang Zhong, what did Liu Mang do before he walked to the army? Of course, it was persuasion! Liu Mang was very polite, he told Guan Yu and his Qingzhou soldiers in the city to give them half an hour to consider, either withdraw the army now or wait to be beaten away by himself.

Liu Mang's words really made Guan Yu happy, he didn't know about military affairs, he didn't say anything, and now he dared to speak wildly! Guan Yu has already made up his mind, and after waiting for less than 10,000 people to attack the city and get tired, he will pull out the troops to fight in the field outside of this Shouchun, and he wants to teach this His Royal Highness the King of Shu a good lesson! He didn't fight like that. Guan Yu politely used a five-stone giant bow full of Xuan to tell Liu Mang his answer.

"Uncomfortable lifting!" Liu Mang looked at the red-faced Guan Gong on the city wall, and there was a trace of gloom on his face, the reason why he shouted so politely was because Guan Gong was highly evaluated both in the late Han Dynasty and in history! This person is loyal, and his martial arts are high, he is very worshiped and praised by everyone, and the people who have no business revere Guan Gong's loyalty and righteousness, and the people who have this business worship the priesthood of Guan Erye's god of martial arts!

Liu Mang and Guan Yu are polite, Guan Yu doesn't want it, then forget it! Let's talk with facts! From behind the Chengguan Army and the Black Chess Army, a bunch of people and horses came, these horses were not soldiers, but a large number of craftsmen, some of them were transporting grain and grass, and some were taking care of their families! These people are the characters who settled in Shouchun in the future, and Liu Mang brought them all at once, because this Shouchun is determined to win, and it will be decided in a war!

There's a bunch of good stuff among the things these craftsmen help transport, and that's a derivative of the bed crossbow, the ballista!

To say that the ballista is a bit crepe, to put it bluntly, it is a catapult, this catapult is not the kind of ordinary trebuchet that uses dozens of people to use manpower, that kind of trebuchet, the arm strength is small, and the weight thrown is also small, and the distance is not far!

And what Liu Mang is now holding in his hand is to use gears, the principle of levers and mechanics, and even metal springs in it.

The original trebuchet was a group of people who relied on manpower to slam down the side that threw the stones, and with these manpower, they threw the stones onto the city wall! Such a trebuchet, the force is sometimes large and sometimes small, can only throw a hundred steps, and the weight of the weight is definitely not more than 100 catties, the crosshairs are still very poor, want to shoot people is completely depends on the character, good character, natural harvest, bad character, that is infinite deviation!

Now it's a different story with gears. As long as you shake the handle under the trebuchet, press the roller and the gear bowstring arm deeply for him, as long as the arm can hold up, even half a ton of boulder can be ejected, and his range has also greatly increased, within 300 steps, you can throw half a ton of boulder, within 500 steps you can throw 300 catties of boulder, 700 steps can throw 100 catties of stone, now in 500 steps, then Guan Erye in Shouchun is ready to accept the impact of the stone!

More than 10,000 craftsmen, plus the families and relatives of these craftsmen and those who migrated with them, there were nearly 50,000 people, many people with great strength, and large stones were piled up in front of the ballistas!

Under Liu Mang's order, the ballista began to roar, a piece of 100 catties of boulders were all put in the ballista basket and smashed into Shouchun City, Liu Mang in Hefei this month is let the craftsmen rush to make it day and night, there are a total of fifty ballistas here, a breath between the bombardment of fifty boulders of the Shouchun city wall, those are three hundred pounds of big stones, these big stones were placed on the projectile platform, were thrown in the air, fell according to gravity, fell on the person, whether it was heavy armor or a giant shield, it was directly two words torn! Some were directly hit, and the ones died even more miserably, and they were directly smashed into meatloaf! Don't talk about people! Even the city wall was very uncomfortable, and the huge stones smashed on it to smash the wall bricks on Shouchun City, and a big pit was formed!

"What is this!" Guan Yu is really blind! Five hundred steps away, with this kind of attack, a boulder suddenly crossed a parabola from mid-air and fell in the direction of Guan Erye.

"General be careful!" The guards on the side pounced on Guan Erye and pushed Guan Erye out, and this guard was directly smashed into a meatloaf by falling stones, and there was no way to live at all, such a scene was born on every side of the city wall.

"Trebuchet? How is it possible, how is it possible! "It's not that Guan Erye hasn't seen a trebuchet, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road attacked the Tiger Prison, some of the princes took out the trebuchet and prepared to attack the Tiger Prison, but that kind of thing can only throw a hundred catties of stones, and the distance is only more than a hundred cloths! And now this thing under the city! There are 500 steps, and those stones are definitely not the volume of 100 catties of stones! What the hell are these! (To be continued......)
