Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 407: Defeat, chance encounter

Liu Bei turned around and ordered his men to cut off the suspension bridge and fill the four gates with earth and rocks.

Prepare more fire oil at the top of the city.

Mobilize all the craftsmen in the city to work day and night to make arrows.

When fighting to the death, he left no way out.

Even though he knew that he would not be a match for Cao Wei's army, he had no intention of closing his eyes and waiting for death.

In September, the weather turns cold, and another autumn rain adds another bit of bitterness to the air.

On the ancient battlefield in front of Shouchun City,

War drums roared on both sides, and the fighting was particularly fierce during the attack and defense.

Cao Jun's excellent military equipment showed a huge advantage in this tough positional battle.

They were clearly attacking the city, but in many cases, the crossbowmen at the top of Shouchun City were suppressed by the crossbowmen of Cao's army below the city and did not dare to show their heads in the battlements.

Ma Chao, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei took turns rushing forward to dig out the earth and rocks in the opening.

Liu Bei could not leave the city, so he had to mobilize civilians to fill in sand and gravel frantically behind the doorway.

Between digging and filling, the earth and rocks excavated by Cao Jun directly filled a small section of the moat outside the city.

The balance of war slowly shifted.

The candlestick swayed left and right under a gust of cold wind, emitting a little light, as if it was the last trace of warmth in the world.

Strong winds came again and the candles were extinguished.

No one in the hall turned on the lights again, and the surrounding area fell into a deathly dark vortex.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Sun Qian and Jian Yong were on both sides of Liu Bei in Shouchun City.

Cao's army besieged the city and attacked it for a month. It was a fight to the death. Under the disparity between strength and weakness, the strong city was still crumbling. There were successive conscriptions and forced conscriptions, and there were already complaints in the city.

But Liu Bei had no choice. There were originally more than 20,000 old soldiers in the city, and all of them were killed or injured in one month of fighting. If the people in the city were not forced to defend the city, Cao's army would have entered the city long ago.

The external troubles have not yet been settled, but internal troubles have arisen, and the army has been defeated in just a few days.

With the weak soldiers in the city, as long as the doorway is opened with earth and stone, they will never be a match for Cao Wei's elite soldiers.

After Guan Yu was silent for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and gritted his teeth: "Brother, let's retreat south first. Retreat to Hefei first, and then look for opportunities to cross the river. You may not be unable to survive."

"Yes, brother, the second brother is right. We are vulgar people, and we will die if we die, but the eldest brother is a descendant of the Queen of Han Dynasty. If you die, who else in the world can fight against Cao Cao? You don't really want to live in Go into the grave you dug yourself!"

In the darkness, Liu Bei shook his head feebly: "Yun Chang and Yide think, why did Cao Cao have the confidence to attack Shouchun so fiercely? Hefei, and even the areas along the river, are probably already filled with Cao Wei soldiers."

After a moment of silence.

Zhang Fei: "Whether it is a dead end or not, you will know after trying it. It happened that the earth and rocks at the south gate were about to be dug up by Cao's army. At this time, taking advantage of the darkness, my second brother and I tried our best to escort the eldest brother out of the city. I also hoped that my uncle would come to my brother's rescue."

Zhang Fei's unintentional words were equivalent to abandoning Chen Dao.

But he has always been like this.

This rude man never sees anyone else in his eyes. As long as his three brothers are together, the others are not that important.

This is a shortcoming, but it is also an advantage.

At least Liu Da and Guan Er would never have the shame to issue such an order at this time.

Abandoning others and calling others the queen, this absurd order does not seem so absurd when it comes from Zhang Fei's mouth.

As for Sun Qian and Jian Yong, who had no sense of existence, Zhang Fei paid no attention to them.

Chen Dao, who was outstanding in martial arts, could teach him to take a look at him. These two Confucian scholars could do whatever they wanted. They were not even able to protect themselves, so how could they have the leisure to worry about them.

"Third general, don't worry. I will definitely hold Cao Cao for a while, to repay my kindness."

Liu Bei stood up and held the lamp, and the light in the hall returned.

"Uncle, please don't pay attention to Yide's words. He resisted for a while and then surrendered to Cao Cao in order to survive."

"Here."

Chen Dao did not hesitate and accepted the offer generously.

This is a very real problem. Chen Zhenai is a man of temperament, and he joined Liu Bei because Liu Bei valued him.

But that's all.

After all, the two of them didn't get along for long. Since Liu Bei abandoned him first, what's wrong with him turning to Cao Cao to survive or even pursue a brighter future?

After all, it's not like he owed Liu Bei anything.

That day at Shouchun City, when I was almost alive and dead, it was such a great kindness that I should repay it.

Under Shouchun City, at the gate.

Zhang Wu had a weed in his mouth and leaned against the doorway with a big gun.

Guo Jia was hunched over, huddled up under his thick robe, and complained in a low voice: "You are such a rough fellow, you are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. You just sit back and wait for the rabbit. Why are you dragging me into the wind? Sneeze! It's so cold."

Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows: "Shut up. Didn't you say that? Liu Bei will definitely flee within three days? I was here alone blowing the cold wind for two days in the past two days. What's the result?"

In fact, Zhang Wu felt that Liu Bei would not escape.

The graves have been dug in Shouchun Taoyuan. Is it necessary to break out?

Zhang Wu didn't believe that Liu Bei couldn't see clearly the situation in Huainan, and both the left and right were dead, so he might as well be more relaxed.

But since Guo Jia mentioned it, he had to guard against it.

That's why the scene in front of me happened.

The two of them did not lead their troops, it was late at night, and they could not see more than ten steps, so the guards at the top of the city did not notice their presence.

Ah sneeze! ~

Guo Jia sneezed again, rubbed his nose, and muttered in a low voice: "You don't naively think that a hero like Liu Bei will really be killed at the neck, right? If he was really that free and easy, he wouldn't have blocked the surrounding city. Gate, we have mobilized civilians to defend the city."

Guo Jia never believed what he saw on the surface.

When he infers human nature, he never looks at what others say or do. Instead, he observes the details shown in the person's subconscious, then analyzes them, and then draws a conclusion.

Zhang Wu yawned: "Okay, if Liu Bei escapes tonight, I will give you half of the credit. Otherwise, just stay here and have fun with me."

He really wasn't afraid of freezing Guo Jia.

The counselors of Cao Wei seem to be weak and elegant, but they have basically taken health-enhancing pills. Why do they get cold when the wind blows? Then Zhang Wu will have to go to the system to settle the score.

Creak! ~Creak! ~

The two waited for another half an hour when a subtle digging sound suddenly came from behind the doorway.

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but stand up straight.

After another cup of tea, Zhang Fei was seen holding a snake spear, breaking open a huge boulder, and appeared in front of him!
