Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Contrary to Xia Houyuan's own expectations, his sleep was not peaceful.

In the dream, he returned to the small courtyard in Chang'an City, and returned to the time when he and Zhang Junyi spent their days playing chess.

At the end of the chess game, when he looked up, Zhang He was smiling at him:

"The dates are ripe in the court, when will the wonderful talent return?"

Xia Houyuan woke up panting.

So before the war started, Xia Houyuan went to inspect Li Dian's troops again, and then he felt a little calmer.

Even compared with Liu Bei's personal guards he had seen in Chang'an, or compared with the tiger and leopard cavalry, these more than 3,000 tribesmen were brave. No wonder Li Dian took the initiative to move his entire family into Wei. Only the county dares to use it.

Li Dian's plan was to hide his troops in the camp. He took the initiative to provoke Huang Zhong to fight and then retreat, and then the best soldiers came out with an army.

There was nothing wrong with this strategy, but Xia Houyuan always felt that the uneasiness in his heart was getting more and more serious.

But there was no time for him to think about it in detail.

"General, the bandits are coming, let's retreat quickly!"

Vaguely, Xia Houyuan felt as if he had returned to those winter nights in the Wei River Valley.

At that time, Liu Bei's army was even less effective than the Guanzhong Army he led. However, the cold weather and scarce supplies allowed Liu Bei to complete a bloodless victory.

The heating medicine soup that everyone had, the burning coal cakes, and the simple greetings simply defeated his army. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan often sighed with Zhang Junyi, saying that the defeat in Guanzhong was not a crime of war. The fault lies with Heaven.

At that time, Zhang Junyi always seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he was impatient at that time, but now Xia Houyuan felt that he seemed to understand Zhang He's hesitation at that time.

"General? General!"

The irritable tinnitus subsided a little, and Xia Houyuan vaguely heard the soldiers shaking his body and calling him. Only then did he focus again. Those old scenes disappeared immediately, and what happened just now He was suddenly reminded of it.

Li Dian tried his best to plan, but he didn't expect Liu Bei's army to take the lead in forming an attack, and the offensive was like mercury pouring down the ground.

The exquisite and strong iron armor covers the athlete's body, which does not affect the movement and can withstand weapons.

Such armor covered hundreds of people, and they advanced like a wall, making Liu Bei's offensive in an orderly manner.

The smoking pottery pot was thrown out in a swirl by the skilled soldiers, and it landed in the crowd of Cao Jun and exploded like thunder.

This also made Cao's army unable to form a battleable formation at the beginning, and then the powerful crossbows fired like rain, causing Cao's army's formation to collapse even more.

Xia Houyuan caught a glimpse of the outcome of those elite tribesmen. Most of them ran blindly like livestock frightened by thunder, roaring at each other, and then fell straight down with crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies.

In this chaos, Xia Houyuan also saw that Li Dian still tenaciously united hundreds of people and launched an attack on the group of iron men despite the rain of crossbows.

But courage could not break through the iron armor. Li Dian coordinated with five or six men to avoid the sharp blade held by the iron man. Three or four people risked their lives to rush forward and restrict the movement of an iron man. Then Li Dian surrendered his weapon and turned back from his face. He inserted it into the gap in the armor and stabbed it several times before the iron man stopped moving.

There was another wave of crossbow arrows, and all these tribes were killed. Li Dian, who was hiding behind the iron man's body, was lucky enough to be shot in the arm, but in an instant, four or five iron men surrounded him, so yesterday The fierce general was still confident and threw away the sharp blade in his hand.

Xia Houyuan patted his ears and felt the blood all over his face. Then he realized that the pottery pot exploded five or six steps away from him, and his face was probably scratched by pottery fragments.

"General, run away!" Someone urged beside him.

Xia Houyuan felt that the uncomfortable tinnitus finally dissipated, but he pointed to the back of the military camp and shook his head at this suggestion.

The soldiers looked back and realized that Liu Beijun was riding a bunch of weird-looking boats that were only one person in size and had come around from the river to the rear. They were already ashore in formation.

Although he was clearly on the battlefield, the uneasiness in Xia Houyuan's heart had completely dissipated at this moment, and he even took the initiative to tell his soldiers:

"I surrender, I surrender. This defeat is not the crime of war, but the crime..."

These words were so familiar that Xia Houyuan actually laughed and said to himself:

"I wonder how those dates taste?"

The soldiers' faces were full of panic and confusion, but Xia Houyuan shouted loudly towards the approaching iron man as if he was quite familiar with it:

"General Runa Huang Zhong wants to kill someone, please order me to go find him!"

By the time Guan Ping Liu Min finished cleaning the battlefield and brought Xia Houyuan's words over, Huang Zhong and Wu Yi had already approached Wuyang City.

Huang Zhong waved his hands at this, his face full of regret:

"It would have been fine if I had beheaded him in the formation just now. If I behead him again now, I'm afraid Yide will be unhappy."

Of course, it doesn't stop there. Killing and surrendering has always been taboo in the battlefield, and the same is true for surrendering generals. It is even more impossible to attack a general who surrenders, releases, and surrenders again.

Therefore, Huang Zhong originally planned to wave his hand and ask Liu Min to find a good place to eat and drink for Xia Houyuan, but when he glanced at Wu Yi beside him, he suddenly changed his mind:

"General Wu, does the Great Breaking Pill you mentioned really have such miraculous effects?"

Wu Yi nodded, as if he was afraid that Huang Zhong wouldn't believe it, so he explained additionally:

"This elixir was ordered by Zhuge's military advisor."

That's definitely no problem. Huang Zhong nodded in relief, then turned to Liu Min and told Liu Min:

"In that case, let's invite Xiahou Miaocai to come over..."

As Huang Zhong spoke, he looked back at Wu Yi and smiled:

"Watch General Wu break the city."

The troops led by Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian were scattered too quickly, so Wuyang City was still a little confused. So for the sake of caution, they planned to rely on the strong city defense to see the situation.

This was also the most impeccable approach. After all, if Wuyang City was broken, there would be no obstacles for the Jingzhou bandit army to enter Yuzhou. With such a serious concern, Cao Ren did not intend to take any risks.

Wuyang City had been reinforced several times, and the grain stored was enough for ten months. There were also strong armor and sharp soldiers in the city, which was enough to accomplish the task.

Moreover, Cao Ren had also made efforts to investigate. The bandit army broke through Yangping Pass and occupied Hanzhong, relying on something called a well siege. For this purpose, they even prepared kerosene to counteract it.

But at this moment, the bandit army did not seem to want to set up a well siege?

Seeing that there were powerful crossbows gathering in front of the city, shooting at the top of the city wall, suppressing the Cao army from raising their heads.

And through the gaps in the wall, Cao Ren could see teams of soldiers holding shields and working at the foot of the city wall. He could not understand it at all.

If you don't understand, you can envy the enemy's crossbow. Cao Ren casually estimated that the range of this crossbow should be about 200 steps. Compared with the 100-step crossbow currently used by Cao's army, this is undoubtedly a magical weapon. If you can get the method to make it...

Cao Ren didn't think about it for too long while holding the city wall. He felt a shock under his feet and his whole body was about to fall down, and the soil under his feet seemed to become soft.

Beside Huang Zhong, Xiahou Yuan, who was stunned, saw it more clearly.

With several explosions and flames, he saw the city gate of Wuyang City, which had been reinforced several times, tore into pieces and scattered everywhere in the smoke and dust.

And the foot of the city wall embedded with the city gate also had several large gaps, and finally the arch-shaped part above the city gate with the city name embedded began to collapse.

Xiahou Yuan turned his head with his mouth open, just in time to see Huang Zhong looking at him in shock.

Huang Zhong swallowed his saliva and tried to calm down and said:

"General Wu and I are willing to release General Miaocai. We only hope that the general will talk to Cao Cao... No, talk to Prime Minister Cao..."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhong saw Xiahou Yuan shaking his head:

"I won't leave."
