Adou who can afford it

In the military camp outside the city, a young man opened his bow and arrows, bent down and stretched his bow to the sky, a bird slipped through the sky, the arrow string sounded softly, the arrow suddenly rushed into the air, an arrow pierced the bird, and then the arrow flew higher in the sky with the bird.

However, it only rose a few feet, and the bird with the arrow in its body fell from the sky and smashed on the dry hard ground of the school ground.

Immediately, a soldier picked up the bird's carcass.

"How's it going? I'll just say I'm well. It's still easy to pull this two-stone bow. Huang Xu came to Liu Chan with the corpse of the flying bird and said happily to Liu Chan.

"This archery is really powerful, I think I'm not as good as you, but you definitely can't compare to martial arts, boy, quickly pierce armor and then choose a weapon, let's compare.

Huang Xu said with a smile: "You admit that archery is not as good as me, let's talk about martial arts later."

"It's better now. "

It's too tiring to pull a two-stone bow once. Huang Xu said, making up his mind anyway, he is not compared with Guan Ping.

Huang Xu came to the barracks from Changsha last night, according to Huang Zhong's words, it will take half a year for Huang Xu to recover, but Huang Xu's mind became active when he got better, and Jing Ji thought about it and ran to Jiangling alone despite Huang Zhong's instructions, wanting to participate in this war.

I don't know why, Huang Xu and Guan Ping became more energetic as soon as they met, and the two quarreled endlessly in Liu Chan's camp, one wanted to compete in martial arts, and the other wanted to compete in archery, Liu Chan simply said that they were all comparable, and then pulled the two to the school field.

"This is a carrier pigeon...... Liu Chan said as he stared at the bird Huang Xu was holding in his hand.

Guan Ping originally saw Huang Xu playing tricks and wanted to come forward to teach this kid a lesson, but when he heard Liu Chan say that Huang Xu shot a carrier pigeon, Guan Ping looked at Huang Xu with a malicious face: "Innocent shooting a carrier pigeon in the army will be dealt with by military regulations."

Liu Chan took the carrier pigeon in Huang Xu's hand, saw that there was a silk tied to his feet, and hurriedly took it down and opened it, and after reading it, Liu Chan said: "This is a carrier pigeon that flew out of the city, and someone in the city passed on a message to us."

Guan Ping hurriedly asked, "What message is sending?"

Liu Chan handed Guan Ping a silk two finger widths and said: "The plague has risen in the city, and there are righteous people to help burn down the granary of the Cao army in the city. "

This is a good thing, we can attack the city!" Guan Ping said excitedly.

However, when he looked up and saw Liu Chan's face aching, Guan Ping asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you constipated?"

Liu Chan looked at the smoke and dust that rushed through the sky, and said to Guan Ping: "The grain and grass in there should be ours, and now all the fire has been burned."

Guan Pingle said: "Are you so confident that you can break through Jiangling City? Now that this grain and grass has been burned, Cao Ren should directly withdraw his troops."

"For the time being, the army will not be withdrawn, Cao Ren will not be stupid enough to pile up all the grain and grass in one place, the city should be able to hold out for a while, and Cao Ren will withdraw because of the plague in the city. Wait. Liu Chan said.

"This is a great opportunity, why don't you organize soldiers to attack the city?" Guan Ping puzzled.

"We must preserve our strength to the maximum and take Gangneung. Liu Chan said.

"It's just a pity for the few righteous men who burned food for us, they should think that after burning the grain and grass, we will choose to attack the city. Guan Ping said.

Liu Chan ignored Guan Ping, took the letter sent from the city, and came to Liu Bei's military camp.

After reading it, Liu Bei said to Liu Chan: "This time is indeed the best time to attack the city. I don't know when the earthquake you're talking about will come.

Liu Chan affirmed: "The earthquake will definitely come, just wait." And the best time to siege a city is when there is a massive outbreak of plague in the city. "

It is not difficult for Liu Bei to calm down, and he should be calm in this situation.

"How long will it take for the plague to break out completely?"

Liu Chan thought for a moment: "In about four or five days, the population of the city will be halved. "

......

Ma Shun was covered in blood and the remaining two brothers ran wildly, the three of them picked remote and uninhabited streets and alleys, the streets were filthy and full of stench, the three of them ran past, and countless wild cats and mice also scattered and fled.

Stepping on the dirty stinky ditch, Ma Shun stretched out his hand to grope in the ditch, lifted a piece of curtain cloth for camping tents, the black ditch water was instantly stirred and flowed downward, a hole that could accommodate one person to enter appeared, three mermaids penetrated, and the last person entered the cave after re-arranging the hole with a curtain, and then put a wooden board on top of the curtain to prevent the curtain from collapsing due to too much water in the ditch.

However, there is still black stinky ditch water flowing into the hole of the ground, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the water that flows into this ditch.

As the curtain covered the hole, the bottomed ditch flowed in with the current, and after a quarter of an hour it was restored to its original state, without any sign of it.

A group of searching soldiers ran by, not noticing the foul-smelling ditch.

After Ma Shun and the three of them entered the cave, they walked along the tunnel all the way, walked out of dozens of meters, and suddenly opened up, and after lighting the candles, the scene in the cave was clear at a glance, there were several water tanks, which stored drinking water, and many of the food were put aside, enough for the three of them to eat for a month.

"Rest well, don't make a big fuss. Ma sat down on the floor, panting and preaching to the two.

Can he and Ma Shun go to burn grain and grass with a few people in this city, which one is not a bold man who is afraid of death? Hearing this, he didn't say much, he killed and then ran for his life, he was really tired, and the two of them lay directly on the ground.

One of them still muttered: "Die and die, and die and sleep well before dying."

But after a while, the three of them were snoring like thunder.

This hole was accidentally discovered by a brother under Ma Shun, it was originally a cellar, it was not so big at first, several people spent more than half a year before and after, secretly digging this cellar, and the total time of its labor was only one or two days, mainly because the guards were too strict to guard them.

After enlarging the cellar, several people placed the water and food they needed for survival in case of need, and this time the burning of grain and grass was just in time. It's just that there are only three brothers left.

It was already dark, and Cao Ren was furious that the three people who had escaped had not been searched.

Roars continued to be heard from the county office that had been set up as a command post.

"General, it is imperative to put out the fire immediately, as soon as the fire spreads, the whole city will be burned down. Chen Jiao was still in bed to recuperate, and he could hear such a big thing, so he immediately came over to discuss the aftermath with Cao Ren.

Cao Ren calmed down a lot after venting, and said to Niu Jin: "Arrange someone to put out the fire, don't let the fire spread." "

I'll arrange it right away.

Cao Ren looked at Chen Jiao: "How much grain do we have?"

"Only the people in the city eat half a month's grain and grass." Chen Jiao said.

Cao Ren fell into silence, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Let the lord find a way to send grain and grass in, as long as there is grain and grass, Jiangling City can be defended."

Chen Jiaoyan wanted to persuade Cao Ren to give up Jiangling, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to defend Jiangling, but he did not send any reinforcements over, and even let Guan Yu block outside Xiangyang City, which was already an indication of his attitude, shouting in his mouth to let Cao Ren defend to death, in fact, all arrangements have the meaning of giving up Jiangling.

Of course, Chen Jiao would not think that Cao Cao was going to trap Cao Ren to death, it was impossible. Cao Ren and Cao Cao are brothers of the same clan, if Cao Ren is killed in this way, the entire Cao family and the Xiahou family are afraid that they will be separated from Cao Cao, and without the support of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, Cao Cao's foundation will collapse instantly.

It's not to pit Cao Ren, that is, there is a second meaning behind this order, Chen Jiao really wants to ask Cao Ren, general, don't you understand.

"General, the plague in the city is ......

" "Let Man Favor give me a dead hand, and all those who are infected will be beheaded!" Cao Ren said coldly.

Chen Jiao's hands and feet were cold, and he was also sick.

"Changshi, don't panic, naturally I won't kill you. Sensing Chen Jiao's strange appearance, Cao Ren hurriedly comforted.

Thousands of servants were gathered, and they were surrounded by thousands of soldiers, the flames flickering, and these servants were silent in the face of the soldiers whose swords were unsheathed and slaughtered, and they all seemed to have guessed their next fate.

"Shoot the arrows. Full Pet had no emotional fluctuations, and after an order, thousands of arrows flew towards the dense crowd at the same time.

This scene may not be recorded in history, and even if it is recorded, it is just a cold sentence, but if you watch it or are one of them, then you can deeply experience that kind of despair.

I don't know where the arrows come from in the dark, constantly harvesting human lives, many laborers want to hide, but there is nowhere to hide, and there are constantly companions falling around, this kind of despair, I am afraid that as a viewer of reading history, I will never be able to understand.

The screams of despair were still desolate in the darkness, and Manzhong's face was pale, and he did not order the firing of bows and arrows to stop because of these screams.

Blood and water flowed, and Man Zhong glanced at the blood-soaked soil under his feet, and raised his head to look resolute again: "Kill." "

Those laborers who were not killed by bows and arrows did not escape the raised knives of the Cao soldiers.

The blood was so strong that it smelled of blood, and the soldiers loaded the corpses into wagons, which were to be transported to the wasteland of the city to be burned.

In the face of these servants, Man Zhong could give orders, but when faced with the Cao soldiers who had been gathered together for nearly two thousand, Man Zhong burst into tears, and he was no longer as calm as he had been in the previous massacre and labor.

"Kill. After spitting out the word with difficulty, Man Pet collapsed directly to the ground.

The endless roars and screams made the full pet cry bitterly.

These soldiers were deceived by Man Favor in the name of curing diseases, they scolded Man Favor angrily, scolded Cao Cao angrily, scolded Cao Ren angrily, they looked up to the sky and roared, shouting that heaven was unfair.

They also tried to resist, but without weapons, they were powerless to resist in the face of the heavily armed Cao army.

The mournful roar gradually replaced the wail, the arrows stopped, and countless soldiers drew their knives and came to the pile of corpses, and began to mend the soldiers who were not yet dead.

This was supposed to be the way to deal with the enemy, but it was used against his comrades.

Facing more than a thousand corpses, Man Pet knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
