Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

After checking the pulse and staring at the old man who wrote a prescription to grab the medicine, Zhou Yu discussed with Zhang Liao how to spread the rumors, and finally decided to start with the Chen family.

Chen Deng has been out of the city for two days and has not returned.Regardless of whether he took advantage of the situation and voted for Liu Bei, betting that Zhou Yu would not dare to slaughter the Chen family to vent his anger, at this moment, there must be someone in the Chen family who can't wait to try to go out of the city to secretly contact Liu Bei, inquire about contact, and "by the way" reveal the news.

After doing this, Zhou Yu suddenly became more relaxed. For several days, she followed Li Mu to the craftsman's shed, watching her write and draw on the ground according to the location of Liu Bei's barracks reported by the soldiers. Fumbled back and forth on the huge crossbows that had been dismantled from the top of the city.

Until she finally said "It's done", all the craftsmen in the whole shed, old and young, cheered loudly. Without waiting for her to order again, they worked hard to move all the bows and crossbows back to the city.

With the creaking and creaking sound of the winch, the three intertwined bowstrings were slowly tightened, and several spear-like giant long arrows were ready to go out in the arrow slots.

The thirteen long-range bed crossbows at the top of the city had all been dismantled, and Li Mu was afraid that the calculation process would be too biased, or that the scouts might have misreported the location of Liu Bei's military tent, and asked people to move the original ones distributed around the city gates. The crossbows defending the city were dismantled and gathered at the north gate, one step at a time.

The accuracy that cannot be achieved is made up with quantity, even if there is an omission in any link, thirteen bed crossbows, thirteen steps of shooting width, that is to say, she can have a margin of error of thirteen steps, regardless of No matter what, that's enough.

No wind, no clouds, the weather was excellent.In Zhou Yu's words, if the clouds are condensed and do not move, it must be a sunny day with no wind, which is most suitable for bows and arrows.Watching the archer make the final adjustments, Li Mu squeezed his sleeves, a little nervous: "What if the shot misses?"

Zhou Yu stood at the entrance of the stairs, changed into a white robe and light armor, and the red tassel on the spear obediently stuck to the tip of the spear, like a bloodstain smeared on the spear.Seeing that Li Mu was nervous, he smiled brightly: "Who made an oath to bet with me? Why is the arrow on the string, but they are going to back down?"

"Who is going to back down!" Li Mu gritted his teeth and turned his head away from him.

Zhou Yu originally wanted to use the news of discord in Xiapi City to lure Liu Bei to take the initiative to send troops to attack the city, but he didn't know whether it was because Chen Deng had not returned from Liu Bei's camp and the Chen family did not dare to act rashly, or whether Liu Bei was captured by them at the gate of the city before. The battle was exhausting, and the news about Li Mu's pulse diagnosis and Zhou Zhang's confrontation with swords was released for five days. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses outside the city, not to mention attacking the city, did not even sound the horns and drums trip.

This kind of siege without fighting will easily distract the people in Xiapi City, especially Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence, and Zhang Liao's original intention to vote for Liu. Make a fake show and do it for real.

But Li Mu secretly rejoiced that the name of benevolence also has its limitations.If Liu Bei wanted to be famous, he would not be able to do the ruthless thing of digging up the Surabaya River, flooding the lower Pi, and hurting the people. Otherwise, it is now the summer flood season, and he will come out of the historical flooding of the lower Pi, which is the real one. The catastrophe.

Therefore, after watching Li Mu and the craftsmen test the crossbow for defending the city, Zhou Yu immediately decided to take the initiative to attack.

He didn't care where the thirteen arrows landed in the end, as long as they all landed in Liu Bei's army according to Li Mu's method.

Liu Bei used to be the shepherd of Xuzhou. He should know best that although the defensive crossbows on the city wall of Xiapi are all ten-stone crossbows, they only have two winches. It is impossible to reach a range of four hundred steps with ten stones.However, he still cautiously stationed the front army two hundred steps away from the city, and with the thickness of the [-] soldiers and horses on display, his central army tent was four to five hundred steps away from the city guard crossbow.

With a distance of four to five hundred steps, even if the crossbows defending the city bed had sufficient bow strength, they were already at the end of their strength!There is no need to consider the danger of a sneak attack by the defenders of Xiapi City.

So as long as Li Mu's arrows have enough range to fall from the sky, there will be chaos.At this time, he will lead another army to fight out of the city, and he will definitely be able to take advantage of the wavering morale of the opponent's army and beat Liu Bei to think about whether it is time to return to Pei County!

Seeing that Li Mu summoned the scouts who were investigating the location of Liu Bei's military tent to repeatedly question him, he solemnly ordered the craftsmen to calibrate the bowstring and adjust the angle.Zhou Yu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and stood idle with her hands behind her back, as if whether she could drive Liu Bei away was up to her.

***

Liu Bei was a little uneasy.A few days ago, news came from Xiapi City that Lv Bu's old general Zhang Liao was at odds with Zhou Yu, so he hesitated at that time.

The battle has reached this point, and there is no way out.Returning to Peixian County, not to mention that Peixian County is small and sparsely populated, there is no room for display, even if this trip is for nothing, the loss of food and prestige, he can't afford it.

However, when he thought of the three young generals at the gate of the city who were covered in blood and cut to the bone, rushing to kill the three young generals who seemed to gather all the light from the sky and the earth, he was terrified.I can only comfort myself over and over again, that the other party is just young and vigorous, a newborn calf.

He came here in a hurry, thinking that Chen Deng had paved the way for him, and Zhang Liao was willing to surrender, and he just had to come and take over the city, just like when Tao Qian welcomed him into Xuzhou.A sincere concession, a humble false speech, come and go, the guest and the host enjoy each other, the transition is smooth, the people live in peace, the soldiers are harmonious, and everyone is happy.

Rams, nest carts, ladders, drum towers, these large siege weapons, he thought they would be cumbersome to transport along the way, and he didn't bring any of them to show that he really only wanted the people in the city to be unharmed.

Unexpectedly, the gate of the city changed suddenly, and Xiapi changed hands, blocking him out of the gate.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing again.

At this time, there was a rush of heavy footsteps outside the tent, and the tent was lifted, and Zhang Fei's people rushed in with Hong Ruojinglei's voice: "Brother, brother, the nest car is ready, it's ready!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, the moment when his thoughts were interrupted immediately dissipated: "Really? How many machines are available? How many sets of ladders and rams are there?" After asking several questions in a series, Zhang Fei grabbed them without waiting for an answer. Holding his arm, he walked out, "Come on, let's take a look with Brother Wei."

"Brother!" Zhang Fei suddenly paused, "Are you really going to attack the city?"

His arms were extremely powerful, and with this retreat, Liu Bei who was rushing out excitedly was dragged back.

"Why did Yide ask this question?" The guards at the entrance of the tent had already set up the tent for them, and the sky outside illuminated the small military tent. Liu Bei's strength was far inferior to that of Zhang Fei, and he was dragged He staggered, his face suddenly turned ugly, he shook off Zhang Fei's arm, turned his head and put his hand behind his back, "I'm not sure how to get back to Xuzhou?"

"But……"

To be honest, Zhou Yu is highly skilled, Zhang Liao is brave and Gao Shun is desperate, all of them are rare masters in this world, if they can fight with all their strength, how happy it will be!

But the news of internal discord in Xiapi City at this time is too coincidental!

According to his idea, it might as well set up the ladder first, roll out the nest cart, and let those people in Xiapi City have a look.The lack of troops in the city is just a lie that they did not carry siege equipment. Once they have a nest car ladder, the psychological coercion formed in Xiapi city is indescribable.

It would be the best if the people in the city could take the initiative to open the city and surrender, but once they attacked the city, they would have no room for change.

If the battle is frustrated, morale is low, and people's hearts are fluctuating, Liu Bei will have no other choice but to retreat.

However, just as he opened his mouth, he heard a low "buzzing" sound from outside the tent, as if a wind suddenly blew outside.

Liu Bei apparently also heard the movement, and looked out of the tent strangely, but didn't realize the real danger.When he saw a black spot suddenly appearing in the clear sky outside the tent, and the black spot was getting bigger and bigger, he only heard Zhang Fei's hissing roar: "Come here! Guards—"

The well-trained personal guards rushed in quickly, skillfully raised the cowhide shield, and firmly blocked Liu Bei behind the shield.However, when they saw that there was only Zhang Fei in the tent besides Liu Bei, they couldn't help but feel confused.

It wasn't an assassination or an attack on the camp, so what was it to protect?

Liu Bei was startled by Zhang Fei's roar at first, and then he was tightly guarded by more than a dozen personal guards, and he panicked for a while.Just as he, along with those personal guards, was puzzled and was about to ask questions, he saw Zhang Fei's black spear sweeping out from his chest half a step away. With an arc, a pair of round eyes stared, and another loud shout.

"Crack!"

The entire military tent shook suddenly, and a huge spear-like arrow fell from the sky, landing on Zhang Fei's spear!

Zhang Fei had already concentrated his attention, all the strength of his body was concentrated on his hands, and the spear was raised in front of his forehead, forcibly resisting the huge momentum from top to bottom.When the arrows and spears collided, there was a series of rubbing sounds that made the teeth sour. The arrow was frustrated, tilted sideways, flew out, and hit the wooden stake nailed to the corner of the tent with a loud sound, and sawdust flew , the flat wooden arrow tails without feathers trembled endlessly, and the buzzing sound was endless.

Almost as soon as that huge arrow landed, the second huge arrow brushed past Zhang Fei's spear, and a series of loud tearing noises suddenly came out in the air. Before they could react, the first to bear the brunt, stood The leather shield in the hands of the front guard shattered into pieces!The guard holding the shield didn't even have time to let out a scream before being pierced by a huge arrow that still hadn't dissipated.

The tail of the arrow trembled, making a series of high-pitched trembling sounds. The guard was directly nailed to the ground by the giant arrow. With every tremor of the arrow tail, a puddle of blood spurted from his chest, splashing everyone around him.

The whole military tent instantly filled with this disgusting smell of blood.

The two giant arrows were only half a step away from each other in the blink of an eye, and Liu Bei, who was only half a step away from the two giant arrows, was stunned. The giant arrow from the military tent missed a few points, and hit the newly built nest car.

The galloping giant arrow pierced down from the roof of the huge nest car more than three feet high, and pierced a hole in the supporting plate carrying the soldiers. On the ground, a series of cracks quickly began to spread outward from the hole.In the blink of an eye, the supporting board, which can carry hundreds of people, couldn't bear it anymore and broke into pieces.The tall nest car lost the support of the supporting board and made a creaking sound. Before Liu Bei, who was full of expectations, came out of the tent to take a look, he fell down with a bang.

In the space of two breaths, thirteen giant arrows descended from the top of Liu Bei's army, like divine soldiers from the sky, with a force of destruction, and half of them landed within a radius of one step around his central army tent.

The nail posts of Liu Bei's Chinese army tent collapsed in an instant, and the wooden frame hanging the map in the tent turned into sawdust and scattered.The other half of the giant arrows flew in all directions, knocking down two battle drum racks outside the barracks, and also knocked down the newly built siege nest vehicles.

Although there were no casualties other than the personal guards who were protecting Liu Bei at the beginning, the power of the thirteen giant arrows falling from the sky was enough to make all the soldiers panic and lose their souls.

***

At the head of Xiapi City, the bed crossbow, which had exhausted all ten stones for the first time, could not withstand such a huge force. After only one arrow was shot, the bowstring broke, the body of the crossbow broke, and they fell apart.

However, Li Mu had no time to feel sorry for it. He leaned on the pillars on the top of the city wall and watched Zhou Yu leading [-] infantrymen rushing out of the city gate and rushing towards Liu Bei's former army. Duo stood on tiptoe and gazed into the distance: "Did you hit the target?"
