Seeing that the other party was attacking the city with all his might, Zhang Liao was not surprised or overjoyed!

What I am most worried about is that Li Dao will besiege but not attack, and take this opportunity to come to a siege point to send reinforcements, and eat away at the surrounding troops little by little. And everything that has been done before is actually to make this battle a quick solution! Zhang Liao knew in his heart that the situation in Liangzhou was treacherous at this time, and only by ending this war earlier could he have the energy to face the next opponent!

And what Zhang Liao knew, Li Dao, who had experienced a hundred battles, naturally also knew, he didn't think much about relying on his own soldiers and generals before, but after the fiasco of the previous pioneer battalion, Li Dao was also deeply aware of his recklessness, but at this time, the arrow had to be sent, and Li Dao's thoughts coincided with Zhang Liao!

If you retreat at this moment, you will definitely be disheartened, and it is likely to be surrounded and annihilated by Lu Bu, Dong Yue, Xu Rong and others! At present, only to Lu Bu in one battle, after taking Tianshui, whether to withdraw from Liangzhou or to order Hu Feng, who stayed in Wuwei, to quickly come to support, and take Wudu and Hanzhong together, relying on its geographical advantages to resist the next enemy army.

It is not so much that this war has no time for Lu Bujun to fight a war of attrition, but that it is really unbearable for the current Li Dao.

Seeing that the other party's ladders had been built on the city wall, Zhang Liao immediately shouted: "Resist the enemy!" Stone! "Hearing this, all the archers bent back, and one group of soldiers, each with a shield in each hand, stepped forward to block the arrows that came from the attack, while the other group of soldiers threw stones down from the cracks in the wall!

At this time, a soldier dressed as a lieutenant behind him stepped forward and said, "General, the stone thrower is ready, do you need to start it now?" ”

Zhang Liao's eyes fell on a low mountain not far away, shook his head, and said, "Wait..."

A moment later, a red flag suddenly floated up on the low mountain, and Zhang Liao immediately shouted: "Stone thrower, launch!" ”

As the words fell, dozens of people in the rear pulled the rope at the same time, and the sound of the howling wind sounded, and at this time, due to the numerical advantage, plus there were no bows and arrows in the city, Li Daojun's archers just pressed to about fifty steps away from the city wall!

Suddenly, a whistling sound sounded, and when I looked up, I saw countless fist-sized stones falling from the sky, and suddenly a wail sounded! The bows and arrows under the city suddenly froze, and the archers who had already prepared on the city walls did not need to be reminded, and quickly stepped forward to shoot! Zhang Liao in the city looked back at the three stone throwers not far behind him, and sighed in his heart!

This is the material provided by Wudu Xu Shu, some time ago a team of craftsmen were sent to install, due to the limited time, only six were assembled for a while, originally Zhang Liao did not have much hope for this, but after the test shot, it was an eye-opener!

Different from the traditional stone throwing machine in the past, the accuracy can not be determined, Xu Shu provided this kind of operation when the top lever is long on one side of the net pocket to carry the stone, everyone only needs to pull the rope at the other end at the same time, you can make the stone fly out to attack the opponent, and after several adjustments, finally determine the weight of the stone and the distance of the stone, and finally set the range at about fifty steps away from the city, and this is also the best attack distance for the archers under the city!

After all, time is in a hurry, and the stones that can be found are limited, so how to accurately grasp the timing is another problem, so there is a scene of Lu Bu luring the enemy and attacking Li Dao with fire before!

Li Wei didn't notice that the location of the fire was the best range for the archers, and the charred ground after the fire was extinguished was the best mark! Zhang Liao's signal soldiers arranged in advance were ambushed in a more conspicuous place in the mountains and forests, and from a distance, once the enemy archers entered the range of the catapult, they would wave the flags in their hands, so that they could play their maximum role.

It is said that Xu Shu was because King Hongnong got acquainted with him and entrusted him with important tasks when he traveled, and this time he went to Yizhou, but also entrusted his foundation to Xu Shu. Originally, all the forces scoffed at this news, but the previous series of commands had to be impressive, and what was even more amazing was that the design of this trebuchet was also from his hands, even if Zhang Liao, who regarded himself very highly, was ashamed of himself and admired He Si'an's vision of employing people.

It seems that Wen Hou and Mr. Li Ru's bet is right, King Hongnong really has the atmosphere of a generation of Ming Jun! ’

Half an hour later, the siege continued, at this time Li Dao had calmed down, every time the archers were in place, the opponent would throw countless gravel in the city, Li Dao also knew that the other party could not have too many stones to throw, but he did not dare to bet, at this time, a scout hurriedly came, whispered a few words beside Li Dao, heard that Li Dao was shocked at first, and after a while, he made a bold decision, called the herald, and shouted to him: "Inform the other three sides, siege the city!" ”

Hearing this, Duan Xuan, who joined the army beside Li Dao, was shocked and said, "My lord, no! ”

Li Wei shook his head, first ordered the herald to go down to pass the order, and then called Duan Xuan and said helplessly: "Hey, the meaning of Zhongming (Duan Xuan's word), Li Mou knows it, but now it seems that this battle is indeed a bit hasty, don't say that Lu Bu is good at attacking but not good at defending, and can force us to such a situation, and the next Hanzhong Zhang Wei and Wuwei Xu Rong are several times stronger than Lu Bu, and there is still the danger of Qishan to rely on, and how to attack with such sharp weapons?" And just now the scouts came with the news that the Cao thief soldiers were assembled in Chang'an and could march into Liangzhou at any time! Rather than being attacked by the enemy at that time, it is better to finish the battle in one battle, and after defeating Lu Bu, we can have the opportunity to maneuver around and be invincible! ”

Duan Xuan watched the soldiers besieging the city in front of him fall one by one, and could only nod helplessly, at this time, Li Wei slowly spoke again and whispered: "Zhongming, I always have a bad feeling, you quickly lead your headquarters and return to Wuwei to inform Hu Feng of the news here, order him to rectify the soldiers and horses, and go to Lingju to meet me, if this is not possible, let's go to Jincheng County and go out of the game!" ”

Hearing this, Duan Xuan's pupils shrank.

"What do you mean... Ready to withdraw troops? Duan Xuan asked cautiously and in a whisper.

Li Wei didn't answer, just nodded imperceptibly, and Duan Xuan sighed inwardly! When he was about to leave to transfer the people of the headquarters, he was stopped by Li Dao and continued: "By the way, it is said that Huaxiong is stationed in Huining, Zhongming remembers to return the same way, go, be careful all the way!" ”

Two days later, Duan Xuan and his party finally returned to Wuwei County, but instead of the joy of going home, their hearts became heavier and heavier as they went deeper, and all the villages they passed through were slaughtered, leaving only bloodstains, corpses and broken ruins all over the ground!

After walking for half a day, I finally found an old man dying in a village, and learned an amazing news from his mouth!

From the beginning of the battle between Li Dao and Lu Bu, Hu Feng ransacked the entire Wuwei County in the name of Li Dao, and coerced the old and young women and children of the entire Wuwei County, counting the soldiers and horses that were originally left behind, a total of about 150,000 people were gathered, and now they have arrived in Jingyuan, and the target is directly aimed at Huining, where Huaxiong is located.

"Hu Feng is going to do something!"

"That is, even if we capture Tianshui, how can we gain a foothold?"

"General! Checkmate? What do we do next? ”

The soldiers under him shouted and scolded one after another, but Duan Xuan turned a deaf ear, and clues flashed in his mind!

Ma Teng was suddenly assassinated, and Han Sui and Ma Chao split and gave way to retreat. ’

'Li Dao adopted the strategy of Hu Feng to fight Lü Bu, and sought Wudu and Hanzhong. ’

The fierce battle in Liangzhou was closely related to Lu Bu, but Wudu was slow to dispatch the main force. ’

'When Cao Cao was stationed in Chang'an, Hu Feng coerced the people in the name of Li Dao without receiving any orders, and the target was directly aimed at Huining! ’

Wait...... Ma Teng's death, Han Sui's abnormal behavior, Hu Feng... Cao Cao?! Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Duan Xuan's mind, and he suddenly cleared all the contexts!

'Yes, all this is Cao Cao's conspiracy, and we are just a gun, no matter who wins in the end in Wudu or Cao Cao, his own side will have no bones, Xu Shu, who stayed in Wudu, should also see this, so he did not send troops to support Lu Bu for a long time, so as not to suffer too many casualties and be profited by Cao Cao's fishermen! ’

Soon, Duan Xuan informed his soldiers of the incident, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation, cursing Hu Feng's shamelessness and Cao Cao's cunning and insidiousness.

"General, what do we do now? Are you going to return to Tianshui to inform Lord Li? ”

Duan Xuan shook his head and said: "It's too late in time, looking at Hu Feng's movements, Cao Cao's side should have already sent troops..." ”

'Take refuge in Cao Cao? Although it seems that Cao Cao has an overwhelming advantage at present, Duan Xuan's mind flashed a tall and thin figure in the same village back then, it is said that that person is prosperous under He Si'an, it is better to...
