Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

The personal guard looked at it and said, "My lord, I heard from General Liu's people that last night Cao Hong was exhausted after a long battle, so he was captured, while Cheng Yu fell off the horse with an arrow in his thigh just after the battle started. Unable to walk, he was captured by General Liu."

"I see."

Li Yi nodded. If it was before getting Jingzhou, he might be nervous about Cheng Yu, but now, with more people under his command, he doesn't care so much, let alone after what happened to Mao Jie , he didn't have much confidence in persuading Cheng Yu to surrender.

Li Yi just waited quietly, while Kuai Yue, who was standing behind him, frowned unconsciously. He always felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't say what the specific problem was for a while.

Seeing Liu Bei's people getting closer and closer to Li Yi, when Kuai Yue's eyes swept over them again, he squinted his eyes, roughly counted the number of people around Liu Bei, and found that those who restrained Cao Hong, those who carried stretchers, There were 20 people who helped Liu Bei!

Kuai Yue's eyes widened suddenly, and he grabbed Li Yi, who was about to go forward, and said, "My lord, be careful, there are too many people coming to Liu Bei, so don't steal the picture!"

Kuai Yue's voice was not low, and everyone around Li Yi heard it. Dian Wei, who usually seemed a little heartless, reacted the fastest. He took a step forward, stood in front of Li Yi, and shouted loudly to the front: "You wait!"

Dian Wei's shout attracted many people's attention, and they all turned their heads to look over here, but Liu Bei didn't raise his head, and took two steps forward, just as Dian Wei was about to shout again. Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "Do it!"

"kill!"

Those who restrained Cao Hong abandoned the ropes one after another when they heard the words, drew out their swords and sharp blades, shouted, and rushed towards Li Yi's place, while those who carried the stretcher directly lifted Cheng Yu off the stretcher On the other hand, it turns out that there are several well-stringed hand crossbows under the stretcher. It is self-evident what these hand crossbows are for.

When the two sides fought last night, because they were worried that scattered soldiers and horses would run to Li Yi's side and pose a threat to him, Li Yi always had more than 500 personal guards around him to protect his safety. The people are all Li Yi's soldiers and horses, no matter how you look at it, there is no danger, so Li Yi released those guards to check for cheapness. At this time, there were only about twenty people left around Li Yi, which was fine at first, but No one expected that Liu Bei would suddenly attack, which directly put Li Yi in danger.

"stop!"

"Bold Liu Bei!"

"Hurry up and protect the lord!"

The surrounding soldiers saw that something was wrong here, and they didn't need their superiors to speak, and rushed towards Liu Bei's side. It's just that they were a little far away, and they couldn't reach Liu Bei if they wanted to stop him.

Li Yi was also a little flustered for a moment, and almost immediately wanted to "open up" to avoid it, but considering the problem of face, Li Yi still didn't do that after all, and forced himself to stand there calmly, hoping that his guards would be strong.

Although there are relatively few guards staying beside Li Yi, these people are definitely the elite among the elite. Ning stood in front of Li Yi tightly, and shouted at the same time: "Use the Liannu!"

In fact, before Gan Ning could call, a guard had already taken out a strange-looking hand crossbow from behind, without aiming at it, he directly pressed the machine expansion towards the opposite side.

When Liu Bei saw this, he didn't take it seriously. Li Yi had a crossbow on his side, and he also had a crossbow on his side, and it was a strong crossbow.

"whoosh whoosh"

The sound of arrows piercing through the air sounded, Liu Bei saw an arrow shot towards his face, he flinched and dodged it, and then continued to charge forward without slowing down, but he ran less than three steps , but saw another arrow coming from the direction the arrow shot just now, and there were more than one!

Liu Bei was shocked at the moment, because the crossbow arrows are easy to shoot, but the reloading is much slower than the bow and arrow, so he never expected that there would be arrows coming from this direction. As a last resort, Liu Bei could only dodge to the side subconsciously, however, the opposite side There were too many arrows, and after narrowly dodging two of them, accompanied by the muffled sound of two arrows piercing into the flesh, Liu Bei's chest and shoulders ached, and then his whole body His whole body went limp, as if he had lost all strength, despite the inertia of the arrow hitting him to the ground on his back.

The moment he fell to the ground, Liu Bei saw from the corner of his eye that those who followed him to die also did not expect that just a few people on Li Yi's side could shoot such a dense rain of arrows. They were startled and frightened, and all lost their size. But in the blink of an eye, most of them fell to the ground with arrows screaming in pain.

Occasionally, one or two lucky ones were also beaten to the ground by Dian Wei and others who rushed over.

Liu Bei closed his eyes vigorously, with tears in the corners of his eyes, he tried his best, really tried his best.

Long before planning to deceive Guan and Zhang, Liu Bei had the idea of ​​dying with Li Yi, but Li Yi was extremely cautious in going in and out, and Liu Bei usually had no chance to do it.

Therefore, Liu Bei could only hide the killing intent in his heart, and responded to Li Yi's various orders regardless of whether they were reasonable or not. , in order to win some of Li Yi's trust.

In the battle last night, Cao Hong could have escaped originally, but Liu Bei kept Cao Hong at all costs, and finally captured Cao Hong alive in order to assassinate Li Yi by taking the opportunity of offering a prisoner.

Liu Bei had already figured it out. After dawn, the surrounding battlefield was cleaned up. At this time, Li Yi's defenses were the most lax, so he deliberately suppressed the news of Cao Hong's capture until dawn before calling for people to report.

Facts have proved that Liu Bei's arrangements are all right. He successfully equalized the number of himself and Li Yi in a short period of time, and had the opportunity to threaten Li Yi's life. A big killer with several arrows made him fall short.

Chapter 495 I'm sorry for Mr. Xuande

"what!"

"Please, please forgive me!"

"I fought with you!"

Screams, roars, cursing, and the sound of weapons colliding continued to come, but after Dian Wei and the others raised their butcher knives, these sounds subsided even faster.

Li Yi watched the last man fall down more than ten steps away from him, and he was relieved. This assassination finally passed without any risk.

Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others had already rushed to Li Yi's side at this time. Seeing that Li Yi was unhindered, they let go of their hanging hearts, and then pleaded guilty: "The last general is not well protected, please forgive me, my lord!"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, it's my own carelessness."

Li Yi was telling the truth. He really didn't expect Liu Bei to fight him desperately in this way. Didn't Liu Bei know that even if he succeeded, he would die afterwards?

Because Liu Bei in history was a person who bumped into walls and wandered everywhere, Li Yi subconsciously thought that he should be similar to himself, with a personality that was more life-saving, but Li Yi was wrong.

This made Li Yi a little fortunate. If Liu Bei hadn't sent Guan and Zhang away, and the assassination just now had let them take the lead instead of Liu Bei himself, he might really be in danger.

Li Yi sighed in his heart and was afraid, especially Xu Huang and others. They were all literary or military, all because of Li Yi, they were able to gather together. Even if loyalty and personal emotions were not considered, if Li Yi had something good or bad, These people will immediately become a mess, and the ending will be unimaginable.

Dian Wei ran back covered in blood, and said: "My lord, all the assassins except Liu Bei have been killed. Cao Hong took advantage of the chaos to escape and was captured by the soldiers. Cheng Yu's injuries are not serious."

When he spoke, Dian Wei's face was ferocious, and it was even more frightening against the backdrop of blood.

Although it was Li Yi who let the guards around him leave to reap the benefits today, but Dian Wei, as the commander of the guards, had such a situation, it was dereliction of duty.

Li Yi nodded, listening to the movement of the previous fight, he knew that the death process of those who followed Liu Bei to assassinate him should be quite miserable, especially those who saw the situation and retreated, and were even killed by the later soldiers. Surrounded, you don't need to look to know that it is the end of the chaos.

Li Yi asked: "Are the soldiers injured?"

Dian Wei shook his head, then looked at Li Yi's personal guards, and said, "There's only one minor injury, it's okay."

Li Yi nodded and said: "Please take good care of it, please ask Doctor Hua to bandage it yourself."

After ordering, someone will naturally arrange it. Li Yi turned his head to look at Kuai Yue, bowed to Kuai Yue and said, "Thank you, the military commander, for discovering the anomaly in time, otherwise Liu Bei will be in danger if he gets ten steps closer."

Kuai Yue hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty is as blessed as heaven, and you have magical weapons to help you. No matter how close Liu Bei is, you will never be able to hurt your Majesty."

Some of the other generals knew about it a long time ago, and some just realized now that Kuai Yue was the first to notice something was wrong, and immediately saluted Kuai Yue. The matter has always been brooding, so I am not close to Kuai Yue, but after today, the grudge in my heart has completely dissipated.

Li Yi patted Kuai Yue on the shoulder, saying nothing.

Li Yi said to the guards by his side: "Very well, you will all be rewarded later, but don't forget to take back the arrows of the Liannu."

"Thank you my lord!"

The guards were immediately overjoyed, bowed to Li Yi, and hurried away happily.

Speaking of continuous crossbows, Huang Yueying continued to improve with the simple template given by Li Yi, and she had a finished product in Nanyang. Although the power of a single arrow is not as powerful as that of ordinary crossbows, if counting bursts of fire, the lethality is almost [-]%. Very impressive.

Just considering that the production process of the Liannu is complicated, the manpower and materials consumed are several times that of the normal hand crossbow, and it is difficult to mass-produce it in a short period of time, so Li Yi just built a small-scale workshop in Xiangyang. Slowly produce reserves, and when Li Yi and Yuan Shao face each other in the future, they can be equipped on a large scale, and that will be enough.

Before this expedition, Huang Yueying advised Li Yi to equip a small amount of guards around him in case of emergency. Li Yi is a life-saving person. After thinking about it, he brought twenty Liannu. It came in handy.

Thinking of Huang Yueying, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth, but the smile quickly subsided, and as he walked forward, he asked, "Where's Liu Bei?"
