Thousands of troops were galloping under Shouchun City, and the 10,000 Western Liang cavalry rushed towards Shouchun City as if they were injected with chicken blood. Xu Shu looked at the heavy armored cavalry and looked at the trembling of the garrison troops on his wall. Fortunately, he saw the city wall like this, otherwise his command would have disbanded long ago. Even if Sun Wu was alive, he would not be able to save this battle.

"Huh!" Xu Shu took a deep breath. He needed to boost morale for the garrison army, otherwise not only might the moat be filled, but these soldiers could also be scared by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. How could they defend the city?

"Target Xiliang Iron Cavalry" Xu Shu's eyes were getting closer and closer and had already entered the range of the crossbow, but Xu Shu stopped his desire to launch in order to make the crossbow more powerful.

Until Xu Shu could see the ferocious expressions on the faces of the Western Liang cavalry, Xu Shu suddenly put down his hand and said, "Let it go!"

"Swoosh swish swish!" The first wave of crossbows finally shot out, and the power of the crossbows suddenly showed its power. Even though the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who rushed in the first row were wearing heavy armor, those heavy armors could withstand arrows. The giant arrows of these crossbows were completely paper-paste. The giant arrows directly tore open the heavy armor and penetrated the body of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Well!" Hu Cheer in the military formation was really furious. The penetration power of these giant arrows was too strong. Not only were the heavy armored cavalry in the first row in trouble, but the third row of the second row was also strung into candied haws, and it was not until the seventh row that it fell down weakly.

"Brothers rushed over, rushed over, and filled my mother's moat. I want to attack the city myself and avenge my brothers!" Hu Cheer shouted loudly. Such damage may bring morale blows to ordinary troops, but it aroused their fierceness to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Come on, come on!" Xu Shu was also aroused by anger. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry did not take him Xu Shu seriously. The rain of crossbows and arrows had not allowed them to stop and instead filled the river more and more quickly. "Shoot, shoot quickly!" Under Xu Shu's order, the crossbow on the city wall was released directly, no longer shooting an arrow and stopped shooting again, but directly pulled the trigger and splashed the giant arrow in the crossbow.

Now the Xiliang Iron Cavalry below felt "What!" Zhang Xiu slapped the table suddenly, and his eyes were almost filled with fire. Because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in front of him was trapped in a life and death, Xu Shu pulled out a total of twelve bed crossbows on the city wall, and each of the crossbows suddenly sprinkled dozens of huge arrows. The result was that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry below was a completely massacre.

No matter how good your horse skills are or how good your war horse is, no matter how heavy your armor is, it is still harvested in this huge rain of arrows. Zhang Xiu also said before that the threat and deterrence of the crossbow is greater than the combat power. But now, not only is the combat power increased, this deterrence power also makes the Western Liang Iron Cavalry cry and call her parents, and no longer throws the sandbags on the war horse into the moat so freely.

Some people in the front row had no choice but to follow. In the back, they threw away the sandbags on the war horses, pulled up the war horses and left the team. No one wanted to die, and no one was willing to die like this. If they were penetrated by those giant arrows, they would not die for a while. That was the most uncomfortable thing. The whole body was penetrated, and they could only watch their internal organs reveal themselves. Is it the most uncomfortable thing to watch the arrival of death?

The shook the sky screams, even the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, who was cruel to the enemy, could not bear it. And you should know that there are many Qiang people among the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. These foreign tribes had a fear of bed crossbows since childhood. This is the legend of the Han generals who heard from their ancestors.

"Retreat, retreat. Disperse, disperse!" No matter how stupid Hu Cheer was, he knew that he could not rush over again. In just a while, at least more than two hundred giant arrows were shot on the city wall, and the damage caused by these giant arrows exceeded a thousand people. He was not a light infantryman like the Qingzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army. He didn't feel sorry for the losses at all. These classes were all elite cavalry of Xiliang. It was okay to die. Those heavy armored war horses, it can be said that all the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could form a team of ten people, and even the price of war horses can form a light infantry of fifty people.

But in just a short while, Zhang Xiu was not worried. Liu Bei ambushed his two thousand soldiers and horses to compensate him for 5,000 gold and 10,000 stone of food and grass, and there were two thousand war horses and two thousand pairs of heavy armor. However, no one could accompany him here. This was his voluntary help.

Compared with Zhang Xiu's shock, heartache and regret, Liu Bei was much calmer. Although he was also shocked that the effect of this crossbow was so huge, he had already prepared all this to his number one military advisor, Jingzhou Fengchu Pang Tong.

Feng Chu Pang Tong is no longer by Liu Bei. He stood on the side of the camp and looked at the dense rain of arrows on the city wall and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry who were shot to death. The crossbow on the city wall was also the object of Pang Tong's attention. He suffered a loss once and could not eat it again! Pang Tong can deeply remember what happened outside Shouchun Water Village that day.

"Sir, have you seen something?" Pang Tong suddenly bowed half-bowed to another young man standing next to him. He has always been very confident about his wisdom. Even his teacher, Mr. Shui Jing, would not be so respectful. But now he half-bowed to the same young man and said that Mr. is really rare in the world.

"June, army, military advisor, great master, praise it! Jun, no, didn't see clearly!" This young man was very shy, but he was emitting a kind of hot light in his eyes when he looked at the crossbows on the city wall.

"Didn't you see anything?!" Pang Tong was a little disappointed, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. The young man next to him also clearly saw something wrong with Pang Tong and smiled again. "Military, military advisor, don't be disappointed. Although Jun can't see through, the mystery of the crossbow on the city wall, but Jun has found where to restrain him!" The young man couldn't bear to look at Pang Tong and said with a disappointed smile.

"Is there a way?" Pang Tong's eyes lit up. He called to this person. It was because this person's agency had learned a lot, which was better than his close friend Kong Ming. This was why Pang Tong was so polite about this person. He was originally disdainful of the agency, but after suffering losses, he naturally remembered the benefits of agency learning. But now it was too late to learn again. Like his close friend Kongming, Kong Ming would not pay attention to him. After all, each of them was his own master. Fortunately, his uncle Pang Degong recommended this young man to him.

"Military Military Advisor, do you still remember the drawing from a while ago!" The young man made Pang Tong recall his memories.

"You mean?!" Pang Tong said with his eyes lit up.

"Yes, just use a stone thrower!" The young man nodded. This stone thrower was actually not developed by the young man alone. Instead, he could hear the description of Liu Mang's crossbows from Guan Yu and Pang Tong and those who have been taken down by the surviving soldiers in the Yuzhou city that have been taken down. The young man imitated him little by little and improved it. I thought this trip to Yangzhou might not be used, but now it seems that it is a good time to use it.

"Isn't that thing not made?!" Pang Tong was a little confused again, because after drawing the drawings, some places needed to be improved. Moreover, many places were not as good as the crossbows in the current service of the Liu Mang army. Originally, Pang Tong planned to let Liu Bei issue an order to kill him and snatch a crossbow from Liu Mang's army to let the young man develop it, but now it is too late.

"The range is not enough! But if you get closer, you can still hit the city wall!" The young man gestured. Shouchun's wall was more than 8 meters high, and the front and back moats were dozens of meters wide. The stone thrower could shoot at Shouchun outside the moat.

"Okay! That's it!" Pang Tong nodded and ran towards Liu Bei's place in the camp.

"Damn it. Damn it!" Zhang Xiu was extremely annoyed. His 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry was originally planning to show off his muscles in front of Liu Bei, and to block the mouths of the Liu Bei soldiers. But now, the muscles have not been cultivated and the mouths have not been blocked. Instead, it has become a big joke. After such troubles, Zhang Xiu lost no less than a thousand heavy armored cavalry, which is all white money.

"Lord, let us white-eared and heavily armored soldiers try it!" Chen Dao from the side clasped his fists at Liu Bei.

"White-Ear Heavy Armored Soldiers!" Liu Bei also frowned. The moat must be filled, otherwise Shouchun would not be difficult to break, but even the Western Liang Iron Cavalry suffered a great loss when this crossbow was shot like this. Can the same heavy armored troops really withstand the giant arrow of the crossbow? He is not Zhang Xiu's 20,000 troops can be squandered. His white-Ear Heavy Armored Soldiers have only 5,000 people. He is distressed by any loss, but he does not send white-Ear Heavy Armored Soldiers to the table.

Try it, if you want to fill this moat, you will probably have to be killed or injured. Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei and Liao Hua. Liao Hua was very straightforward. He became the leader of the Yuzhou Army. You can't let others be the commander of the first day, so you lowered your head and pretended not to see Liu Bei's eyes. Although Zhang Fei was not interested in the Qingzhou soldiers, he also knew that there were troops to kill the enemy, so he was also fighting haha.

Just when Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, Pang Tong walked over and said to Liu Bei, "Lord, let's stop the army with a slogan! Tong already had a plan in his mind!"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and then waved his hand and stopped the war.

...

The war in the Yuzhou, Yangzhou, was in the sky, and Guandu, which also bordered Yanzhou and Jizhou, was also in the sky.

Cao Cao fought in the Guandu battle for several months and fought like he had been fighting for decades. He suddenly grew old. He was originally covered in black hair, but now he has been infected by white hair.

"Persevere, you must persevere!" Cao Cao took a sip of wine and relied on it to refresh himself. His eyes began to red and swollen. He destroyed Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu's 100,000 naval troops in the Yellow River. Yuan Shao was holding back his anger and wanted to take revenge. Without the pressure of the naval officer ferry, the pressure on the land was reduced, but the land was no longer stable. In addition to being separated by the Yellow River, Jizhou and Yanzhou also had a delta, which was originally called Jibei Kingdom. This delta was located in the middle section of the Yellow River, in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, with the mouth of the sea being Jieshi, and the fork was the generation of Wuchao in Yanjin.

Although Yuan Shao had no 100,000 naval troops, he still had 150,000 soldiers in his hands, and tens of thousands of heavy-armored cavalry, including Yuan Shao's own Jizhou iron cavalry, and after a difficult time, he selected Bingzhou men and formed a Bingzhou iron cavalry with 10,000. In addition, there were two soldiers and horses in the camp, which were the first to climb the camp, and it can be said that Yuan Shao had 40,000 elite cavalry. He was the one with the largest number of heavy-armored cavalry among the entire Han Dynasty.

No wonder Yuan Shao is now in Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and there are countless war horses. He is not like the princes in the Central Plains who sell a war horse in the black market for 100 gold. In order to beat a 5,000 heavy armored cavalry, he has to grit his teeth and save as much as he sells. This is why he finally found a heavy armored cavalry. But Yuan Shao doesn't need it. He has as many war horses as he wants. There are seven or eight large horse farms in the three states. Not only these horse farms have good horses, but they can also trade war horses with foreign tribes. The war horses here may be exchanged for a pound of coarse salt and one coarse cloth.

Yuan Shao's navy was defeated, and Cao Cao also had no navy. So Yuan Shao's advisers directly gave a plan, went to Jibei to cut wood into rafts, crossed the river directly, entered land, and went deep into Yanzhou to fight Cao Cao.

Forty thousand heavy armored cavalry, if they really attacked the hinterland of Yanzhou, it would be really good for Cao Cao. Cao Cao was so hurting that he had to intercept him, but his heavy armored cavalry was just the tiger and leopard cavalry. The tiger and leopard cavalry was killed by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in the battle in Xuzhou. Although the main general was later replaced by Cao Cao himself, the tiger and leopard cavalry was reorganized. But there were only five thousand people. The five thousand heavy armored cavalry fighting against 40,000 horses, even if the Bingzhou wolf cavalry did not dare to play like this, and there were also the long-famous elves and the first camp in the camp. If the tiger and leopard cavalry were replaced in the past, they would be completely beaten to death.

Cao Cao was really overwhelmed, and his advisers had no plans. Even Guo Jia was thinking about it. Now there were only two roads to go, either to surround and block Yuan Shao's army from crossing the Yellow River. However, the banks of the Yellow River were so long. How many soldiers would it take to block it? I didn't see that Lu Bu, Lu Bu, did not dare to move because of Sun Ce's eye in the Yangtze River! Once you neglect, you would make a heavy armored cavalry rush to Yanzhou, it would really turn into a disaster.

Another thing is that they also crossed the river and rushed to the other side and entered Yuan Shao's Jizhou. However, this one didn't work. At least it didn't work now. Even if Yuan Shao removed 40,000 elite cavalry, there were still ninety thousand troops. Cao Cao had only less than 40,000 troops now, and he still had to stay at Guandu. In other words, the number of soldiers who could really take action was up to 30,000. 30,000 to fight 90,000. Yuan Shao really thought that the opposite side was a dish. Yuan Shao wanted you to cross the river and fight him! One battle would determine the world, but now it would be a dead end, and it would be a dead end if he didn't go. Cao Cao was really helpless.

He gritted his teeth and forgot to fight. Cao Cao was about to play the decisive battle across the river. Suddenly, Guo Jia stood up and said, "Slow! Lord, I don't know if you still remember that time?"

"That? Which time was that time?!" Cao Cao was almost confused, so he was still willing to keep his word with Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, Fengxiao is almost infuriated. If you have a plan, just tell me!"

"Lord, it's not that I have a plan! It's because Jia is not sure if this is true!" Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile. He was unwilling to keep it in hiding, but I don't know if this information is correct. "Lord, do you still remember the news sent by Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Lujiang!?"

"Hmm?" Cao Cao also remembered, "You mean?" Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his eyes to the map on the coffee table.

"Yes, it's Wuchao!" Guo Jia nodded and said. This news was sent by Liu Mang, the King of Shu in Lujiang, when he failed to send someone to Lujiang to buy a bed crossbow, that is, Wuchao is the source of victory.

"This may be just a joke by Liu Mang!" Cao Cao touched his head and said.

"Sometimes I take the joke seriously!" Guo Jia smiled bitterly, "And lord, do you think we have other ways to go?"

"This?!" Cao Cao was a suspicious person. Not to mention that this was just a vague information sent to him by Liu Mang from Lujiang. Even if it was the real information obtained by the scout, Cao Cao would consider the gains and losses.

"Lord, think about what kind of benefits they would get if this Lu Bu army lied to us?!" Guo Jia wanted to try to persuade Cao Cao to attack Wuchao, because no matter whether it was a decisive battle across the river or a passive defense, Cao's army had no chance of winning. Only the sword took a detachment and opened up the situation.

"Lu Bu and our army are enemies!" Cao Cao sighed. As soon as Lu Bu entered the Central Plains, he almost destroyed Lao Cao. If it weren't for Lu Bu, Lao Cao would have taken down Xuzhou long ago. It was a wealthy Xuzhou, not a bare Xuzhou like now, and a crippled Xuzhou.

Later, Lao Cao drove Lu Bu out of Yanzhou, Lu Bu took his feet in Xuzhou, and Lao Cao and Liu Bei jointly drove Lu Bu out of Xuzhou again. If it weren't for the intervention of the Shu King Liu Mang, he might have been on the Baimen Tower now! Now Lao Cao's Xudu still has Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd!

"Lord, there are only eternal interests in this world, but no eternal enemies. Lord, you can join forces with Liu Bei in order to plan Xuzhou, and you can even give up your hatred with Zhang Xiu in Wancheng for the sake of this great cause of Yanzhou. Can you hate Lu Bu less than them compared to them? But you have let go of all these, and you can't let go of the hatred of Lu Bu!" Guo Jia induced.

"But he is Lu Bu, a reckless man with stubbornness!" Cao Cao retorted.

"Lord, Lu Bu is not the original Lu Bu!" Guo Jia shook his head and said. If Guo Jia knew that he would look at him with admiration for three days, this word would definitely be used here. The original Lu Bu was not only greedy for small profits, but also very self-centered. Chen Gong's words were basically half-received, and even didn't listen to Chen Gong's words. If Lu Bu had listened to Chen Gong at the time, he would not have been separated by Chen Gui and his son, and would not have been plotted by Liu Bei. But Lu Bu is different now. Lu Bu is now more adapted to the process of being a lord than before. Although he was still impulsive, Chen Gong's words began to listen.

"Lord, this news was not given to us by Lu Bu, but by Liu Mang, the King of Shu!

"It's him?"

"Lord, there are experts in Lu Bu's army. They are not stupid. If we lose, then Yuan Shao from Hebei will occupy the six states, with Jizhou Xuzhou providing food and grass, Bingzhou Youzhou providing war horse soldiers, Yanzhou as an outpost battle, so who else in the world will be Yuan Shao's opponent? Sun Ce from Jiangdong, Liu Bei from Jingzhou, Lujiang Lu Bu, and Liu Bei from Yuzhou combined will be nothing more than the land of the three states. What do they use to fight against Yuan Shao? So they won't watch Yuan Shao win. If the lord wins, it will be different. If Yuan Shao is defeated, he will die of thinness.

The camel is bigger than a horse, and Yuan Shao, who has Jizhou Bingzhou Youzhou Qingzhou, is in the hands of Yuan Shao. As long as he goes back to recuperate, he will be able to fight in the future. It is impossible for us to clean up the land in Hebei for a few years. These years are enough for the Central Plains to decide the victory or defeat. Moreover, if he wins Yuan Shao, our army will be considered a loss-making loss. They can still take advantage of the situation! So they will not watch our army be defeated! So Jia thinks this information may be correct!" Guo Jia no longer analyzes it from a strategic perspective, but from a person's heart.

"But this is information a few months ago. Even if there are experts in Lu Bu's army, they will not guess the situation of the battle in a few months!" Cao Cao was still a little disbelief. Fortunately, when Guo Jia didn't know how to convince Cao Cao, the soldiers outside the camp suddenly gave news that there was a middle-aged scholar who called himself the prime minister outside the camp and came to visit him.

"Friendly friends?" Cao Cao was puzzled. He did not have any old friends. He was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. There were a few who dared to call him Cao Cao's best friends. Even if there was, he would hide this relationship. After all, there was a difference between the king and the minister. Cao Cao was upset and naturally did not want to see this person.

But Guo Jia opened his mind and asked to the guards, "Where did this person come from?"

"Huh?" The messenger thought for a while and said, "This person should be from the other side of the Yellow River!" Because the middle-aged scholar had mud on his body and his shoes running, the sound of water running, only when crossing the river would be like this.

"On the other side of the Yellow River?!" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up. The other side of the Yellow River was Yuan Benchu's camp. And you can't say that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are really close friends. Of course, this person is not Yuan Shao. Not only Yuan Shao, but also one under Yuan Shao is Cao Cao's close friend, and he is also an old friend.
