Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 365 Restoring Pingyuan soldiers encircling Nanpi

Xue Rengui had already prepared cavalry outside the city, waiting for the moment when Cao Ren retreated!Although he didn't know whether Cao Ren would retreat, he had kept his cavalry preparing for more than ten days.As soon as Cao Ren retreated, Xue Rengui immediately chased after him.

Seeing Xue Rengui chasing after him, Cao Ren was very tired.Xue Rengui's tactics are not new, but they are very practical.Cao Ren was helpless. His army was too large to take care of him. He could only keep the most elite troops and retreat slowly.But he can't care about those people anymore, he can only watch Xue Rengui disperse them, and then hunt them down.After retreating to Neihuang, Cao Ren had only [-] soldiers.

Cao Ren knew that Neihuang would not be able to defend for long, so he sent Guo Huai to gather soldiers around and return to Yecheng first.

Sure enough, Xue Rengui led an army to attack Neihuang in less than three days.

Fortunately, Cao Ren also made some preparations in Neihuang, so he would not be captured by Xue Rengui in a hurry.

Zhang Yi had just finished working on Huang'er's engagement in Shouchun when he received the happy news from Xue Rengui.

"Congratulations to the host's power for killing historical celebrities Qubei and Cao Xiu, and summoning historical celebrities Dugu Xin and Li Daozong."

"Duguxin, force: 92, tactics: 89, strategy: 83, internal affairs: 79, education: 85, diplomacy: 83. Characteristics: handsome."

"Li Daozong, force: 94, strategy: 93, strategy: 87, internal affairs: 85, education: 78, diplomacy: 80. Characteristics: General."

After Tang He crossed the river in Gaotang, he first recovered the counties of Pingyuan County.Zhang Liao did not send people to garrison these counties because they were too far away from Nanpi.

Tang He himself walked across the plains and attacked the Kingdom of Li.Send Yue Fei away from Ande County and attack Pingchang, Yanci, Leling and Ban counties in the east.Then they attacked Bohai County. Tang He went to Dongguang and Yue Fei went to Zhonghe. The two joined forces to attack Nanpi.

Zhang Liao did not defend Nanpi, but led his troops to set up a camp in the north of the city.To the west of Nanpi is the Zhang River. If the camp is located to the east, it will not be able to get water. If it is located to the south, it will be attacked by Tang He first, so it can only be located in the north.Zhang Liao himself garrisoned the camp, and Nanpi City was temporarily handed over to Man Chong and Hu Zhi.

Zhang Liao has an army of 1, including [-] cavalry, including more than [-] Wuhuan cavalry.These Wuhuan cavalry were all conscripted by Cao Pi. Since Cao Cao raided the royal court, Wuhuan has been under the control of Cao Wei.The people of Wuhuan dare not speak out because they are afraid that if Cao Pi kills them again, Wuhuan will be left alone.

When Wuhuan was at its strongest, it could carry 20 men with armor. Now it can only form [-] to [-] cavalry, and many of the young men who have just grown up are no longer as strong as before.However, they can also work without exerting any effort. They have been stationed here for five years. They roamed their horses all day long and occasionally robbed in Bohai and other places.Zhang Liao had no choice but to punish the Wuhuan people, but Cao Pi refused, fearing that the Wuhuan people would rebel and lose their military strength before fighting.

After Tang He's army reached Nanpi, Zhang Liao immediately led the cavalry to attack while its foothold was not stable.Zhang Liao sent the Wuhuan people as the vanguard to directly attack Tang He's army.

Tang He asked the soldiers in front to form a spear formation, and set up a crossbow formation behind the spear formation. After waiting for Wuhuan to rush over, arrows rained down immediately, and the arrows continued to sprinkle among the Wuhuan people.The Wuhuan cavalry immediately fell on their backs. Many of them fell off their horses and were trampled to death by their companions.

Wuhuan had never experienced such an attack. Even when Cao Cao attacked Wang Ting more than ten years ago, he had never encountered such a violent attack.The overwhelming amount of arrows frightened them all, and the arrows continued to flow like rain.

Halfway through the rush, more than 1 Wuhuan people fell down, and four or five thousand people fell, and the Wuhuan people immediately turned around and ran away!
Zhang Liao was also stunned. The arrows on Tang He's side were really scary. The arrows kept coming at him, and he was scared when he saw them.Outside the range of Tanghe's arrows, Zhang Liao restrained his horse. If he rushed in, he would definitely die.

"Why does Tang He have so many crossbows?" Zhang Liao looked at these arrows suspiciously. There are not many people who shoot arrows in Tang He!How could there be so many arrows?

"By the way! Isn't this the legendary Liannu?" Zhang Liao recalled that there was a Liannu in the Yongliang area, which was used by Zhang Yijun.

Yes, this is a repeating crossbow, and it is an upgraded version.The person who upgraded the Liannu was Ma Jun, a young man from Fufeng.

"Ma Jun, force: 68, tactics: 70, strategy: 72, internal affairs: 82, education: 70, diplomacy: 62. Characteristics: invention."

Ma Jun was one of the most famous inventors during the Three Kingdoms period. His talent for invention was similar to Zhuge Liang's.However, unlike Zhuge Liang who was reused, Ma Jun's talents were not reused.

In the original history, Ma Jun was only a minor official in Luoyang.He invented a new machine for weaving damask, and the damask is the damask of silk and satin.Silk and satin is the general name of ancient noble cloth, and it is also a basic classification. The value of this silk weaving machine can be imagined, and it surpasses the loom in improving people's livelihood.

Ma Jun also restored the compass car and invented the keel rollover based on the rollover car.They even invented a toy that uses water to perform various tricks, which is very ornamental.

In the military, Ma Jun improved the trebuchet, turning the trebuchet pulled by manpower into a trebuchet that relied on gravity.He also improved the Zhuge Liannu. The Zhuge Liannu could fire ten arrows in a row. After Ma Jun's improvement, it could fire fifty arrows in a row.

Zhang Yi had already asked people to equip his troops with repeating crossbows. After Ma Jun improved them, he immediately asked craftsmen to build a batch and send them to the front line.The first batch Tang He got here, after all, Tang He was a senior figure. He was older than Xue Rengui, not to mention Su Lie and Wei Rui.

Five thousand new-style continuous crossbows quickly defeated the Wuhuan people.Tang He's confidence in these new-style Liannu increased greatly. He ordered the army to move towards Zhang Liao's cavalry, scaring Zhang Liao to retreat quickly.

Zhang Liao returned to the camp, only to find that the Wuhuan people had not returned to the camp and were missing.

Zhang Liao quickly sent people to search for him. At night, someone came to report, "The Wuhuan people have fled north and seem to be returning to the outside of the Great Wall."

"I knew these guys were unreliable!" Zhang Liao said helplessly.

At the beginning of the war, there were more than 1 cavalry missing, and Zhang Liao was also very injured.It doesn't matter that they ran away. The morale in the camp is now low and they need to rest before fighting again.What a mistake!unwise!Zhang Liao also regretted it. If he had known better, he would not have attacked and would have just defended Nanpi.But he was also thankful. Fortunately, the Wuhuan people obviously took the lead. If he had taken the lead, he might have died.
