Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow morning in the capital, all the officials with a thousand shi or more will go to the hall to discuss matters."

"promise!"

After Xun Yu and Xun You left, Cao Shuo looked at Ma Jun and said, "I have a blueprint for a crossbow here, see if you can make it for me."

This drawing was scribbled when he was free. According to the current crossbow machine, a machine expansion was added to replace the soldier's arrow basket.

Ma Jun looked at it and said, "Your Majesty, this painting is a bit like a basket of arrows, and the lower officials can't understand it."

Cao Shuo blushed and explained to him. Ma Jun was horrified when he heard that the crossbow arrows could be fired continuously.

"The lower officials have a little understanding of one or two of them, but I'm afraid I can't develop them in a short period of time."

Cao Shuo's eyes lit up, he didn't say it couldn't be developed, but he couldn't develop it in a short time, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Don't worry, I will urge Wen Ruo to set up the military computer room as soon as possible. In addition, I have already selected the location of the military computer room for you. The guards will take you there later."

"promise!"

After sending Ma Jun away, Cao Shuo wrote the names of several items on the paper and sent them to the Military Aircraft Department.

"I hope that Ma Jun will not disappoint me, and can develop me a hand crossbow that can hold thirty rounds of crossbow bolts."

With this kind of hand crossbow, it is equivalent to the semi-automatic rifle of later generations. Although the range, rate of fire, and damage are far from each other, it is already very good in the era of cold weapons.

While Cao Shuo was thinking, a court lady came in and said, "Your Majesty, the two concubines Qiao please come over."

Chapter 392 Cao Shuo's army is so powerful?

In Pingyu City, Runan County.

Liu Pan looked at the captives in Pingyu City proudly, and said, "Lord Zirou, once our army entered Runan, we won consecutive battles and conquered more than ten counties. Within a month, we will be able to occupy the entire territory of Yuzhou." .”

He thought that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses would be so strong, and he beat Liu Bei like a lost dog, running around.

Unexpectedly, after he came to Runan, he has never been defeated. He thinks too highly of Liu Bei. It's not that Cao Cao is too powerful, but Liu Bei is too useless.

Their soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are far stronger than Liu Bei's. I don't know how Wenpin fought, but they were defeated by Liu Bei one after another.

Kuai Liang frowned and reminded, "My lord, the arrogant soldiers must be defeated!"

Kuai Liang did not expect that after their troops entered Runan, they would be so victorious. According to the news from the scouts, most of the people in Runan were transferred by Liu Bei, and Cao Cao confronted Yuan Shu in Peiguo again, which gave them a chance opportunity.

But they must not be careless. Once the opponent catches the opportunity, the loss of soldiers will be small, but if they lose their lives, it will be a big loss.

Most of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou are concentrated in the east. If they go further east, they will encounter great resistance.

"My lord Zirou is overthinking. The morale of our army is high. Even if we directly attack Yingchuan now, I have the confidence to take it down."

Liu Pan looked disdainful, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought for so long, both sides suffered losses, Cao Cao did not have any extra troops to support Yuzhou.

"Report, General Cai He's [-] troops have arrived in Shangcai, but the defenders are extremely stubborn. General Cai can't attack for a long time. I hope the general can send a large army to support."

When Liu Pan heard the news, he secretly cursed a piece of trash in his heart, 5000 people can't take down a county seat, and he, Cai He, deserves to be the famous trash of the Cai family.

Liu Pan looked at Kuai Liang and asked, "Sir, do you think we are going to send troops there?"

Kuai Liang thought about it, and the location of Shangcai was extremely important. This was the best route for them to go north. After passing Shangcai, they would be Dingying and Wufang. under control.

"Send another [-] soldiers to Caihe, so that he must take down Shangcai in the shortest possible time, and then attack the two counties of Dingying and Wufang."

Liu Pan then allocated another [-] soldiers to Cai He, hoping that Cai He would not let himself down again. If the [-] soldiers couldn't take down a county, he might as well pretend to be dead at the gate of the city.

"Report, General Cai Zhong, who attacked Ruyin, was blocked by Cao Cao's general Le Jin, and was trapped in the camp outside Ruyin City. General Cai Zhong couldn't resist, and withdrew to Gushi County. The current situation It's very urgent."

Liu Pan and Kuai Liang were startled, Cai Zhong had an army of [-], how could he be defeated so quickly?

Liu Pan hurriedly asked, "How much is left of the [-] army?"

The scout said helplessly: "There are less than 4000 people left."

"what?"

Liu Pan's face changed drastically, and his killing intent rose instantly. This Cai Zhong is less useful than Cai He.

It's okay to lose the battle, but they still lost so many soldiers and horses. The [-] army hit Pingyu, and they didn't even lose so many troops in more than ten counties.

"waste!"

Kuai Liang persuaded: "General calm down, we need to send soldiers to support Cai Zhong right now, otherwise, the enemy may kill us at Pingyu City."

Liu Pan looked at Deng Xi and said, "You lead [-] soldiers to support Gushi County, and you must defend Gushi County for me. I will personally lead the army to repel Le Jin."

"promise!"

Kuai Liang said: "Le Jin is Cao Cao's confidant and favorite general. Cao Cao trusts him deeply. He is good at commanding troops and is also very brave in battle. In our army, apart from the major general, I am afraid that only Wang Wei can match him."

Liu Pan said helplessly: "General Wang Wei is attacking Ruyang. So far there is no news. We can't let Le Jin go any further. Master Zirou sits in Pingyu County, and I personally lead an army of [-] to attack Le Jin. .”

Kuai Liang thought for a while, Wang Wei had 1 people, Cai He had 1, Cai Zhong and Deng Xi had 5000, if Liu Pan took away another [-] people, there would only be [-] people left in the city.

"General, we need to ask His Majesty to send some more troops. I'm afraid we won't be able to win Yuzhou with 5 people."

Liu Pan said: "Master Zirou wrote a letter to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to send another 2 people over."

As soon as Liu Pan's army was assembled, a group of cavalry came from outside the city, led by Zhang Liao, and the three thousand Xuanjia soldiers behind them stared majestically at the city wall.

"Zhang Wenyuan of the Yanmen is here. Among the Jingzhou army, there is someone who is not afraid of death. Fight with me!"

Zhang Liao's voice was like a bolt from the blue, shaking every soldier in Jingzhou. How could Cao Shuo's soldiers come from behind them?

Has Nanyang County fallen?Or had they been hiding somewhere?

Kuai Liang looked at Zhang Liao outside the city, and said sadly, "Young General, I feel that Zhang Liao came here by no means by chance. We need to take extra precautions. The opponents are all cavalry. We just stick to it!"

Liu Pan said with a look of disdain: "The other side only has about 3000 people, so what if they are all cavalry, I still have [-] cavalry and thousands of infantry in my city, how can I be afraid of him with so few soldiers?"

"Major General, don't be careless. Zhang Liao is a powerful general in this world. It is said that he was able to fight Guan Yu for dozens of rounds at Hulao Pass."

Liu Pan laughed shamelessly and said, "I heard that there were three brothers, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhan Liu, Guan Zhang, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. No difference."

"This……"

Kuai Liang had nothing to say, Liu Pan thought for a while and said, "I will lead five thousand cavalry to meet Zhang Liao."

Chapter 393 Zhang Liao Slays the Enemy Chief

When Zhang Liao saw Liu Pan leading the cavalry out of the city, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, as long as he left the city, there was nothing he could do if he stayed in the city for a long time.

"The nameless man, do you know Liu Pan of Jingzhou?"

Liu Pan looked at Zhang Liao arrogantly, Zhang Liao snorted coldly and said, "Who wants to take that Liu Pan's head?"

A lieutenant general behind Zhang Liao said: "The last general, Wang Yao, is willing to share the general's worries."

"kill!"

Wang Yao yelled, and directly killed Liu Pan. Seeing that it was not Zhang Liao, Liu Pan was furious.

"Who dares to kill him for me."

"The last general, Liu Erma, is willing to behead the enemy general!"

"Dangdangdang!"

"what……"

The two fought for less than ten rounds, and Liu Erma was chopped to the ground by Wang Yao.

Liu Pan's face was livid, and he rushed forward with a spear in his hand, "Die to me!"

"when!"

Liu Pan's sure-fire shot was blocked by the opponent unexpectedly, and he became furious in an instant. A small lieutenant general can make himself so embarrassing.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Liu Pan's spear stabbed at Wang Yao like a spirit snake. Wang Yao was not afraid at all, and fought Liu Pan back and forth.

"Give it to me!"

After more than a dozen rounds, Liu Pan yelled, stabbed Wang Yao's right shoulder with a spear, and then pushed hard, and Wang Yao's entire arm flew away from his body.

"what……"

Wang Yao rolled off his horse in pain, and when Liu Pan was about to end his life, Zhang Liao rushed over and opened Liu Pan's spear with one knife.

Liu Pan was a little afraid of Zhang Liao's strength, and he could feel that Zhang Liao's strength was higher than his own with just this knife.

But as the general of the first army, he will never back down, even if he dies in battle, he will never let others look down on their soldiers.

"Zhang Liao, dare to fight to the death!"

Zhang Liao glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "After fighting for so long, should you take a rest, and don't die and file a complaint with the King of Hades, accusing me of being unfair in the fight."

"You... see the trick!"

Liu Pan stopped talking nonsense with Zhang Liao, and stabbed Zhang Liao's heart with a single shot, but Zhang Liao smiled slightly, and raised the sword standing in front of him, only to hear the sound of a weapon piercing into the flesh, and the head of Liu Pan's horse went straight to the ground. was chopped down.

Zhang Liao's saber remained unabated and slashed at Liu Pan's body. At this moment, Liu Pan was chopped down because of the horse. The horse suddenly fell to the ground, and his body fell rapidly, while Zhang Liao's saber was from the bottom up.

Liu Pan had no choice but to raise his gun to block the unavoidable situation, so he leaned back, trying to avoid the knife.

"bass!"

With a crisp sound, Liu Pan's weapon was directly severed by Zhang Liao's broadsword, and the tip of the knife slashed across Liu Pan's upper body, leaving a bone-deep wound.

"what……"

Liu Pan screamed, his face turned pale from pain, and his whole body was trembling.

"Quick, save the Major General!"

"Come on!"

Liu Pan's lieutenant general led the cavalry to charge up directly, and the cavalry behind Zhang Liao was not to be outdone, took out their bows and arrows, and shot randomly.

When Liu Pan's cavalry rushed to Liu Pan's side, only 3000 of the [-] cavalry remained. Zhang Liao waved his sword and said, "Kill!"

Rumble!

Zhang Liao's cavalry also rushed up and rushed into the Jingzhou army, as if entering no one's land, Kuai Liang on the city wall was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat.

Is this the Xuanjia Army of Wei State?The gap between the two sides is too big, the opponent's weapon can actually chop the horse and the soldiers above, how can this battle be fought?

Kuai Liang was worried that Liu Pan would make a mistake.So he asked the deputy general to lead [-] cavalry out of the city to meet him. Cai Mao wanted Liu Pan to die and supported Liu Cong, but their Kuai family supported Liu Pan.

If Liu Pan died here, they would have to settle for the next best thing and support Liu Qi, the voluptuous man. If the Han Kingdom was handed over to Liu Qi to manage, their future for the Han Kingdom would be bleak.

"We must not let the major general have an accident."

When Zhang Liao saw another soldier rushing out of the city, he quickly ordered the two commanders to retreat and shoot with bows and arrows. The others followed him and continued to surround Liu Pan's 'corpse' to block the attack of the Jingzhou army.

Half an hour later, Kuai Liang was horrified to find that Zhang Liao's soldiers did not seem to have decreased much, while his own soldiers had dropped sharply.

what to do?Does Liu Pan need to be saved?

Kuai Liang was caught in a dilemma. In the end, Kuai Liang gritted his teeth and quickly withdrawn his troops. He recalled the remaining more than 3000 cavalry directly to the city.

After Zhang Liao saw the enemy cavalry retreating, he cut off Liu Pan's head without hesitation, and hung him outside the city.

"Who dares to retrieve the head of your major general!"

Kuai Liang gritted his teeth, the hateful Zhang Liao actually wanted to completely destroy their morale.

"Stick to the city wall, and never let the opponent get half a step closer to the city wall."

"Prepare the supplies for the defense of the city quickly, and transport them all to the city wall before Zhang Liao's reinforcements arrive."

Seeing that Kuai Liang was so devoted to defending the city, Zhang Liao sneered and led his soldiers to Gushi.

"not good!"

Kuai Liang noticed the direction Zhang Liao's cavalry was going, and sat down on the ground. Deng Xi had just led the army out of the city. If Zhang Liao attacked from behind at this time, he, Deng Xi, would definitely defeat him.

"Send someone to inform General Deng Xi to camp in place to prevent Zhang Liao's cavalry from attacking."

However, how could Kuai Liang's messenger be faster than Zhang Liao's cavalry.

"kill!"

"The Xuanjia army is brave and invincible!"
