Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

After leaving the post station, Cao Shuo took Xu Yuan around Luoyang City.

Xu Yuan praised: "Your Majesty, Luoyang City is so magnificent that it can be regarded as the number one city in the world."

She has lived in Yangzhou for many years. Although Yangzhou is the largest state in the Han Dynasty, the state capital has been moved many times, and the city has long been dilapidated.

Chapter 514 Liu Bei Attacks Jiange

"Your Majesty, your marksmanship is the best in the world. You attack my vital points, and I have no power to parry."

"It's only been three hours. It seems that you need to exercise a lot."

"Your Majesty, even the daughter of the third general in the world, Lu Wen, can't withstand such a fierce attack."

Xu Yuan looked at Cao Shuo pleadingly.

"Your Majesty, don't you have two younger sisters from Yuzhang County? How about the three of us living together in the future?"

"Come here, bring the two sisters Pan Shu."

Ten days later, Cao Shuo left the residence of Xu Yuan's three daughters.

I haven't been to the court for ten days, and the ministers in the court and the central government probably have opinions.

Xi Zhicai said: "Report to Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Hanzhong!"

"Ok?"

The corner of Cao Shuo's mouth twitched, and he didn't need to look at him to know that it was Liu Bei who launched the army.

With only one county, Liu Bei will definitely find a way to steal Xiliang, or Shu.

But now they have reached an agreement with Xiliang, and they will not use troops against Ma Teng for the time being.

Moreover, Ma Teng has his own equipment, but Liu Bei does not. He will definitely suffer a loss in fighting Ma Teng.

"Liu Bei of Hanzhong raised an army of [-] to attack Jiange, wanting to take Guanghan County!"

Enter the residence of Liu Bei, King of Hanzhong in Hanzhong County.

Zhao Yan, Du Xi, Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Yang Ren, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and more than a dozen civil servants and generals gathered together, waiting for Liu Bei's order.

The demise of Wu State made them feel a huge crisis.

"It only took three days from Lu Bu's invasion of Yuzhang County to the time Wu was forced to surrender. What do you think?"

Liu Bei glanced around the crowd. This speed can definitely be called super fast. Nearly 20 troops directly invaded Yuzhang County, and Sun Quan had no room to fight back.

Zhao Yan said: "According to my guess, Cao Shuo has not mobilized troops for so long, and suddenly invaded Wu, Sun Quan must have done something that should not be done."

Du Xi said: "Master Zhao is right. According to the news from General Guan, Sun Quan wanted to marry Liu Biao. As soon as he made a move, he was spotted by Xun You of Nanyang County, and then Jiang Xia and the soldiers of Danyang County Flood into the country of Wu."

Sun Qian said: "Cao Shuo's actions are enough to show that he did not want Liu Biao to form an alliance with Sun Quan. The two fought back and forth for several months, but Cao Shuo did not take the opportunity to attack either of them. When Sun Quan wanted to unite with Liu Biao, Cao Shuo made a move, which is enough to explain everything."

Everyone echoed, Cao Shuo is really abominable, among the princes, they can only attack each other and cannot unite with each other.

Once they are united, Cao Shuo will start to suppress them. He just doesn't want them to become bigger.

Zhao Yan said, "Although Hanzhong County has a superior terrain, it cannot stop Cao Shuo's army. We need to find a stable rear to provide food and grass for our army."

Zhao Yan ordered people to take out the map, pointed to the Kingdom of Shu, and said, "Right now, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are fighting. Yan Yan, the Taiwei of the Kingdom of Shu, has been sent to the front line. Zhang Ren, the general of Guanghan County, has only ten soldiers under his command. Tens of thousands of soldiers, we can take the opportunity to take down Guanghan County."

Can one hundred thousand soldiers and horses say they can win it?

The generals didn't understand why Zhao Yan said it so easily.

"Military division, Zhang Ren is a famous general, and the Jiange is guarded by [-] troops. It will be even more difficult for us to invade Guanghan County."

Zhao Yan said calmly, "General Guan has obtained [-] sets of Wei equipment from Liu Biao. This equipment can withstand bows and arrows, and it can be called a siege weapon. With these, it is easy to take down the sword."

"Really?"

They have already experienced Wei's equipment. If there are really [-] sets, they can definitely capture the Jiange.

Liu Bei said: "I have equipped the five thousand sets of equipment to the elite white-eared soldiers. The elite white-eared soldiers are temporarily under the command of Wei Yan, and they are at my disposal at any time."

"promise!"

After several months of performance, Wei Yan finally got Liu Bei's approval, and his [-] cavalry and [-] white-eared elite soldiers were under Wei Yan's tent.

When Guan Yu was not in Hanzhong, Wei Yan became Liu Bei's right-hand man.

Liu Bei continued: "The weather has cooled down quickly recently. We need to capture the Jiange before the snow falls, and then build a big camp under Jiameng Pass."

Liao Hua stood up and said: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard and lead the soldiers to attack Jiange."

Liu Bei glanced at Du Xi, and Du Xi nodded.

"General Liao, I will make you a general with five senses. I will lead [-] white-eared elite soldiers, [-] crossbowmen, and [-] infantry. We will attack the Jiange tomorrow morning."

"promise!"

In the early morning of the next day, Liao Hua and Sun Qian led an army of [-] to His Excellency Sword, and began to cut down trees to make ladders and charge chariots into the city.

Meng Da, the guard of the Jiange, sneered in his heart when he saw the densely packed army under the city. With the strength of the Jiange, it was wishful thinking to use these [-] to [-] troops to attack.

"Get ready stones, wood, kerosene, and rockets!"

Two hours later, Liao Hua shouted, "Siege!"

Bang bang bang!

The four trebuchets threw a few stones here and there, and then the crossbowmen began to suppress the Shu soldiers on the city wall.

"General Meng, the opponent's bow and arrow range is too far, right? It's at least [-] steps longer than ours."

Meng Da frowned. If this was the case, they might have suffered a lot.

"Damn, why can their bows and arrows attack so far."

"Let the brothers hide behind the city wall and fight back after their pawns come up."

Liu Bei's bow soldiers were improved by imitating Cao Shuo's bow soldiers, and the length of bows and arrows was lengthened, and there were no less than [-] eight-stone bows in his army. Although these bows and arrows could not be pulled by one person, they could use tools , or multi-person operation.

After Liao Hua's soldiers fired for a quarter of an hour, the sword and shield soldiers rushed up carrying the ladder.

"General, the opponent's siege team is coming up."

"kill!"

"Puff puff!"

"what……"

As soon as they fired a round of arrows, they were pushed back by Liao Hua's archers.

"General, what should we do, our soldiers can't lift their heads at all!"

"Shield, protect the archers!"

The siege battle lasted for two hours, Liao Hua still failed to attack the top of the city, but Meng Da's supplies for defending the city were consumed a lot.

Their archers can't play much role, and they can only rely on wood and kerosene to resist the soldiers climbing up the ladder.

Liao Hua felt that it was almost done, so he let two thousand soldiers with swords and shields open the way, followed by two thousand soldiers wearing Wei army armor, and rushed up.

"General, their soldiers are impenetrable with bows and arrows!"

"General, the opponent's soldiers are about to charge up the city wall."

"General, the enemy soldiers under the city gate can't be killed no matter how they shoot."

Meng Da started to panic. The sudden appearance of these black armored soldiers made them very afraid.

"The first person to attack the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land!"

"Kill it!"

The speed of the white-eared elite soldiers climbing the wall suddenly increased a bit, and within a quarter of an hour, they attacked the city wall.

Meng Da drew out the sword at his waist and shouted, "Kill!"

Chapter 515

The battle on the top of the city was very fierce. The weapons of Meng Da's soldiers could not pierce the armor of the white-eared elite soldiers. It would often cost five or six men to kill them.

As the white-eared elite soldiers continued to pour into the city, Meng Da's soldiers began to gradually withdraw from the city wall.

Meng Da looked depressedly at the Jiange that had fallen into the enemy's hands, and shouted: "There is no food and grass, retreat!"

Liao Hua didn't bother to talk to Meng Da, and ordered his subordinates to start counting the casualties of this battle.

4 people participated in the battle. Among them, the ordinary infantry lost nearly 6000 people in order to consume the opponent's defense equipment for the white-eared elite soldiers, and the white-eared elite soldiers lost more than 300 people in the siege battle.

Meng Da's [-] troops left behind [-] corpses.

After Liao Hua reported the results of the battle to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's face was extremely gloomy. Although the loss was not large, it was not small. He had only 2 troops, and excluding Guan Yu's 8 horses, Hanzhong only had [-] people.

Fortunately, the only levels for this image are Jiange and Jiameng. If there were more levels, these soldiers would not be enough to fight.

However, Cao Shuo's equipment was really easy to use, and the white-eared elite soldiers only lost about [-] people, and they defeated Meng Da.

If he has [-] sets of this equipment, then Liu Zhang is nothing.

Guan Yu must find a way to get another batch. Five thousand sets are simply not enough.

These equipment are not indestructible, but more durable.

Jiange was captured, and Liu Bei led the army to build a big camp under the city.

In Liu Bei's big tent, civil servants and advisers gathered together.

Zhao Yan said: "Your Majesty, the Jiange has been taken, and our plan can be implemented. First, we will send a large army to Jiameng Pass to go down to the village, and then we will send elite troops to detour through Guanghan's vassal state, from Pingwu County, to attack Zitong and copy Zhang's army. to the rear."

Liu Bei said with a worried face: "The roads of Guanghan's vassal state are rough and difficult, and they are not suitable for cavalry combat. To succeed, you must send out the white-eared elite soldiers, but there are only 5000 white-eared elite soldiers, and the defenders in Zitong City are no less than three. Wan, it is a bit difficult for us to capture Zitong without siege equipment."

Du Xi said: "My lord, we don't need to attack the city by force. Five thousand white-eared elite soldiers only need three thousand to stop the defenders in the city. The rest will harass Jiameng Pass. Zhang Ren is worried that Zitong will be lost, so he will definitely send reinforcements."

"At that time, it will be the best time for us to go to Jiameng Pass."

Their cavalry's attack on Zitong was just a decoy, even five thousand white-eared elite soldiers were just a decoy, the goal was still Jiameng Pass.

Liu Bei asked, "Who is the right one to go to? Zhang Ren's martial arts skills are extraordinary, and Wen Zhang must be in charge of the central army in person, and Li Tong is guarding Sanguan."

Liu Bei had a bitter expression on his face. There were only a few generals under him, Guan Yu, Li Tong, Wei Yan, and others were useless.

Zhao Yan at the side thought for a while and said, "My lord, I would like to go with General Liao Hua."

Liu Bei grabbed Zhao Yan's hand and said, "Is the military division really going? It's too dangerous there, and I can't let the military division take risks."

Zhao Yan said: "My lord, don't worry, with five thousand white-eared elite soldiers here, I will be fine."

Liu Bei sighed and agreed to Zhao Yan's suggestion. If Zhang Fei was still there, why would he need Zhao Yan to take risks.

I think Liu Bei has struggled for more than ten years, and in the end, he still needs a military division to charge forward.

After Zhao Yan and Liao Hua left with [-] Bayer elite soldiers, Du Xi said, "My lord, the enemy's Jiange has fallen and their morale has been greatly damaged. The enemy will definitely attack our camp to boost their morale. We will prevent them from attacking the camp tonight. "

Zhang Ren is also a good general, and the generals under him are all brave and good at fighting. Once they succeed, Liu Bei's [-] army may be completely lost.

Liu Bei looked at Wei Yan and said, "Master Wen, you lead [-] cavalry to ambush in the nearby forest. Once Zhang Ren comes to sneak attack, you lead the cavalry to attack his rear army."

"promise!"

"Yang Ren, you lead [-] archers to stay in the camp, you must block Zhang Ren, and don't let him enter the camp."

"promise!"

And Liu Bei and Du Xi, with 5000 people, ambushed halfway. As long as Zhang Ren dared to come, let him know that their soldiers and horses in Hanzhong were definitely not something that Shu could resist.

After Meng Da led the defeated army back to Jiameng Pass, Zhang Renqi was furious. The 2 people guarding the Jiange were lost so quickly.

"Come on, push Meng Da out and behead him for public display!"

"General, spare your life!"

Zhang Ren said angrily, "You still have the face to ask me to spare you?"

Meng Da explained: "General, Liu Bei has a group of invulnerable soldiers under him. Our soldiers can't do anything to them at all."

"What is invulnerable? It's just nonsense."

"If the general doesn't believe you, you can go to the army and ask if I'm lying."

Zhang Rencai would not listen to his nonsense, so he called several soldiers who participated in the battle, but everyone said the same thing.
