Chapter 714: The bed crossbow is complicated to make, and our army doesn't have it at all, not even Xiliang Ma Teng
Liu Bei was taken aback when he heard this, Wancheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was no one else under Liu Bei's command except for a few fierce generals.
If you attack Wancheng rashly, it is likely that the whole army will be annihilated.
Cao Ang continued, "I will not only give you these armors, but also help you train your troops and train a strong army. ”
Liu Bei's eyes froze, this was simply a temptation for him.
Wancheng is a very important strategic place, strong soldiers and horses, if you can take Wancheng.
For him, it will benefit a lot, not only to solve the current predicament, but also to strengthen the strength, killing two birds with one stone.
"This." Liu Bei groaned: "This is a great temptation for so-and-so, and so-and-so must be considered clearly. ”
"Brother Xuande, just think about it, I'll give you three days." Cao Ang said calmly, as if he was confident.
Liu Bei pondered and meditated, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" Cao Gongzi, I will give you an answer in three days. ”
"Refreshing, then I'll wait for good news." Cao Ang smiled and said, "By the way, I still have a few paintings here, so I might as well take them out and sell them."
I believe that I can earn a few thousand gold coins, if Brother Xuande thinks it is not enough, you can find me again. ”
Liu Bei nodded, then said goodbye and left.
Looking at Liu Bei's distant back, Cao Ang's face turned cold, and he muttered, "Liu Bei, just wait for death." ”
"Lord, Liu Bei will definitely take the bait." The strategist said, "We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight now. ”
"Hmm." Cao Ang nodded and said, "But this time we have to prepare more grain, grass and medicine." ”
"Yes." The strategist said: "But my lord, if Liu Bei is unwilling, what should I do?" ”
"Hehe, then it's no wonder we're going to blame." Cao Ang said ruthlessly.
Liu Bei walked out of the camp tent and saw Xu Sheng standing at the door, and wondered, "What is Mr. Xu doing?" ”
Xu Sheng arched his hand and said: "Lord, the last general is here to congratulate the lord." ”
"This." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the strategist in front of him about the matter, and said, "Just now, Cao Ang asked me to send an elite to attack Wancheng. ”
Xu Sheng was anxious and said: "Lord, you can't be deceived by Cao Ang, Cao Ang is ambitious and will never be willing to live under others.
If he was given the opportunity, he would definitely rebel and divide Beihai with Yuan Shao's alliance, and if the lord agreed to Cao Ang's request now, he would have given Cao Ang an excuse to rebel. ”
"This." Liu Bei hesitated.
Cao Ang put too much pressure on him, and he simply couldn't refuse.
"Lord, Cao Ang's wolf ambition must not be kept." Xu Sheng continued to persuade: "If you don't do it now, wait for Cao Ang to slow down, and then it will be too late to do it again." ”
Liu Bei took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "But I don't have a choice for the time being, pass my order, and send troops tomorrow." ”
The next day, under the city of Wan.
Liu Bei stood on the chariot and commanded the army to charge.
"Kill!"
Above Wancheng, Lu Bu looked at Liu Beijun who was densely packed below, and a trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "Only fifty or sixty thousand people dare to attack my Wancheng, I am really not afraid of death." ”
Wen Chou smiled: "Leave it to me this time." ”
Lu Bu shook his head and said: "You are the commander, your task is even more arduous, you can't rush forward, let Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao play." ”
Wen Chou had no choice but to do what Lu Bu ordered.
Outside the city
"Lord, Lu Bu's turtle can't shrink, what should we do?" Xu Sheng asked.
Liu Bei frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, Lu Bu is not to be afraid.
Lu Bu's bravery is just a corner of the hegemony, and the rest of the princes regard him as a local chicken and a dog, if it weren't for Lu Bu's good luck, I'm afraid he would have been wiped out long ago. ”
"But if that's the case, won't we be able to capture Wancheng?" Xu Sheng asked.
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No, if Lu Bu doesn't come out, we won't go to war either, just wait for reinforcements." ”
"But if our army runs out of food and grass, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat Lu Bu." Xu Sheng said.
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "We can cut off their supply of grain and grass, and even if Lu Bu occupies Wancheng at that time, what can we do, without food replenishment, Lu Bu will not last long." ”
"Haha, so that's the case, the lord is really powerful." Xu Sheng suddenly realized, and immediately said excitedly: "The subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”
Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "Pass the order, retreat to Wancheng, and strictly guard it." ”
"Whoa."
On the walls of Wancheng, Lu Bu began to become agitated.
Liu Bei suddenly led his troops south, breaking the balance of Wancheng, so that he had to attack to resist Liu Bei, but he did not have many troops now, and he could not stop Liu Bei's footsteps at all.
"Report!"
"General Qiyu, Liu Bei's reinforcements have arrived, about thousands of people, and they are coming towards Wancheng." The scout came to report.
"Humph!" Lu Bu roared angrily: "Damn Liu Bei, he is so cunning that he even brought grain and grass. ”
"General, what are we going to do?" The adjutant asked.
Lu Bu said: "Immediately send a sentry to investigate the whereabouts of Liu Bei's army, and then notify General Wen Chou to prepare to meet Liu Bei's army." ”
Although Lu Bu was angry, he still remained calm, since Liu Bei dared to attack Wancheng, he must have his own hole cards.
But he's not that easy to bully!
"No!"
"Lord, Cao Ang's reinforcements are here." Chen Gong stood beside Liu Bei and said.
Liu Bei sighed lightly and said, "Cao Ang's reinforcements are coming, we must fight, how to deal with it now?" ”
Although Liu Bei is resourceful, he is weak after all, and he is controlled by others, and he is still flustered in the face of such a situation.
"Don't worry, my lord, I have a way to solve this matter." Chen Gong said confidently.
"Oh? Do you have a plan? Liu Bei's eyes lit up.
Chen Gong said: "Cao Ang wants to take Wancheng, unless there is a strong crossbow and sharp arrows to help, so the minister thinks that the lord has better be able to get a batch of bed crossbows." ”
"Bed crossbow?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "The bed crossbow is complicated, and our army does not have it at all, not even Xiliang Ma Teng. ”
"Although there is no bed crossbow, I know the recipe and production method of the bed crossbow." Chen Gong said.
"What? The bed crossbow recipe and how to make it are in your hands? Liu Bei was shocked.
Chen Gong smiled: "Yes, lordship. ”
"Take it out and show it to Lone." Liu Bei said excitedly.
The bed crossbow is a siege weapon, and if he can get the recipe and how to make it, then his army can increase its combat effectiveness several times in a short period of time, thus inflicting huge casualties on the enemy.
Chen Gong took out a drawing and handed it to Liu Bei, saying, "Lord, this is the configuration drawing of the bed crossbow, but this configuration drawing is incomplete. ”
Liu Bei took the configuration drawings and was stunned, this can be regarded as a big pie for him. (End of chapter)
