readx;? On the Yiling side, Huang Xiaoqiang led the army to garrison Yiting City, since he wanted to choose to attack the Yizhou soldiers with fire, then the best way was to let these Yizhou soldiers gather in one place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In order to prevent the fire from spreading to the side of the pavilion, Huang Xiaoqiang ordered all the nearby trees to be cut down, and the purpose of this tree cutting is naturally another one, to make weapons to defend the city.

Huang Xiaoqiang will take out the "Forging Wood" that has not been given away, and the second child left him to study it, and feel that the thunderbolt and giant crossbow recorded in the book are very practical.

According to legend, this thunderbolt was used by Cao Mengde against Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, and it was more powerful than ordinary catapults. The giant crossbow is installed on the city wall, and by shooting huge crossbow arrows, the enemy's siege equipment is destroyed, or the enemy army is killed.

These two kinds of weapons require a lot of wood and stones, and Huang Xiaoqiang took this into account, and the more than 10,000 defenders who stayed in Yaoting turned their daily drills into digging mountains, moving stones, and cutting wood. On the other side, Huang Xiaoqiang sent a letter to Jingzhou and urgently dispatched countless skilled craftsmen to the front line to support. Liu Sheng and Ximen Qing were also traversers, so they naturally knew Huang Xiaoqiang's purpose, and without asking the reason, they hurriedly recruited three hundred carpenters to the front line. This is Huang Xiaoqiang's second plan. The first plan, of course, was to buy time for the front to make all kinds of machinery for the rear.

What Huang Xiaoqiang didn't expect was that the craftsmen in Jingzhou were really powerful, and it didn't take half a month to successfully make 20 thunderbolts, and the city walls were also equipped with various giant crossbows. It took exactly one month to go before and after, that is, the time when the enemy broke through the second line of defense. At this time, Huang Xiaoqiang gave the third order, and all the staff withdrew to Yaoting City.

Guo Kaishan, who was in the third line of defense, watched his comrades on the front line kill so hard, he had already itchy hands, but helplessly, the general's military order was there, and he was not allowed to go to the front line to support. Now that he saw the enemy coming, he had long wanted to fight a pain, but he received Huang Xiaoqiang's military order to retreat. Guo Kaishan was suddenly a little dissatisfied, but he could only retreat.

On the other side, Liu Xian's troops marched all the way, and the Chu army did not put up any resistance, but all abandoned the camp and fled. All the way forward, it was less than thirty miles away from Yaoting City, Liu Xian was naturally very happy, and praised Zhao Wouji, "General Zhao, you are really the god general of our army, at the beginning you said two months, but now it is only one and a half months, that is, the main force of the enemy army has been completely defeated, and the rest of the Chu army has become a turtle with a shrunken head and hid in Yiting City." Say, "What reward do you want?"

Zao Wou-Ki was also very happy in his heart, thinking to himself, "As Guo Hui said, the enemy's first line of defense is the enemy's main force, and after defeating them, the rest will be all waste." It seems that I will definitely be able to be a lieutenant general when I go back. Zao Wou-Ki replied, "All this still depends on the full support of the lord, as well as the bloody battles of the soldiers, and the last general is just acting on orders, and he does not dare to ask for any reward." If you want to reward it, give it to the soldiers. ”

Liu Xian nodded, "Well, yes, victory is not arrogant." But I naturally have clear rewards and punishments, and if you have made a great contribution, you will be promoted to Zhonglang General. ”

"Thank you, my lord. Zao Wou-Ki smiled, glancing at Ren Li and Bu Yong, who were always slandering him. Ren Li and the others both snorted, thinking, "The villain has a will." We'll see. ”

Zhao Yin looked at this situation and said in his heart, "It seems that the Chu army was really defeated by us, otherwise why would you lose your armor along the way." Could it be that sense of crisis is really my suspicion? If I persuade Liu Xian now to beware of the enemy's main force, wouldn't that be a slap in the face for my own son? Alas, let's take another look, after all, this line is the same as that of Emperor Zhaolie back then, and it should be correct. ”

Liu Xian smiled, "The order will go down, the whole army will rest for three days, and after three days, take the Yaoting, and then fight until Xiangyang City." I heard that the Chu Palace's Mansion is much larger than my Thorn History Mansion. ”

"Commanded. ”

On the other side, Guo Kaishan and other generals were in conflict with Huang Xiaoqiang.

Guo Kaishan said, "General, General Beiming and General Yin have made great contributions on the front line. My Lao Guo looked at it and saw that those thieves were about to come to my feet, but you made us withdraw suddenly, and the brothers below didn't know that they thought we were afraid of death and didn't dare to rush. General, anyway, you have to give us an explanation. ”

Dongfang Wuxian also complained, "General, we have not resisted for a while in the back of the line, and they all retreated, and the enemy army took advantage of the situation to penetrate more than 500 miles. ”

There are many people talking, and there are all kinds of things, basically all around one point, that is, Huang Xiaoqiang should not order a retreat, he should fight hard to the end, the big deal is the horse leather shroud.

Huang Xiaoqiang looked at everyone present expressionlessly, "Are you finished?"

Huang Xiaoqiang's voice was very cold, but it was very imposing, and all the general's voices stopped for a while. Huang Xiaoqiang sneered and stood up, "You have retreated safely one by one, what have we lost? But what we have gained, what we have gotten is the arrogance of the enemy, the enemy's constant climbing over the mountains. You say it's a big deal to fight to the end, horse leather shroud. Reckless! The first army is to attack and plot, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city. Why we have to be tough. What I want is that we have 40,000 people to fight the enemy, and at least 30,000 must be left to fight in Chengdu. ”

Huang Xiaoqiang's words, everyone looked at each other, 40,000 people against 120,000 people, not only to win, but also to leave 30,000 to attack the enemy's mansion, this is really an exaggeration.

Huang Xiaoqiang continued, "The reinforcements in Yangzhou that were supposed to come to support us, I have already written to the lord to garrison these people in Xinye, Jiangxia and other places to prevent the princes in the north from taking the opportunity to sneak attack Jingzhou, so we only have more than 30,000 people for the time being." However, I still have an army of 100,000 coming in the fire, and I guess it's almost there. So you just need to guard your posts, and when the reinforcements come, Liu Xian will be defeated. It's all gone. ”

The generals retreated, they all looked at each other, and Dongfang Wuxian asked Bei Mingchen, "Second brother Beiming, how can there be so many people in our army now? Could it be that the general has mobilized 100,000 troops from Yangzhou to come over?"

Bei Mingchen looked at Dongfang Wuji, "I don't know either, but I believe that the general always has a reason for doing this." After all, he is a man who can work miracles. ”

Dongfang Wuji said, "I hope so." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Guo Kaishan was not very optimistic about Huang Xiaoqiang's plans, although he admired Huang Xiaoqiang's martial arts skills. But the capture of Yangzhou, he thought that it was entirely the credit of the military advisor Kuai Ze, and he Huang Xiaoqiang was just a coincidence. Guo Kaishan said, "I'm afraid that the general will be too arrogant because of the affairs in Yangzhou." ”

Bei Mingchen smiled, "Anyway, let's wait and see, it's a big deal, when the time comes, let's fight hard and donate our lives to serve the country." (To be continued.) )
