West of Yiling City.

The earth-shattering sound of killing gradually faded away, and tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of Liu retreated like a receding tide, leaving only corpses lying all over the city.

"Wei Yan! Lu Meng! ”

Liu Bei looked at the two battle flags at the head of Yiling City, disgust flowed between his eyebrows, he snorted coldly, turned his horse and turned away.

A strong attack ended in futility again, and Liu Bei and his army could only retreat to the camp gloomily.

This was the third attack launched by Liu Bei in ten days, but without exception, they were repelled by Wei Yan and Lu Meng.

It's not that Wei Yan and Lu Meng are really strong, but the terrain around Yiling City really makes Liu Bei crazy.

100,000 Liu troops, who can be used to attack the city head-on, the number does not exceed more than 10,000 people, this number is less than the defenders of the Wei army in the city, how to attack Liu Bei.

Bang!

Back in the big tent, Liu Bei threw his helmet on the desk, sat down angrily, and poured a few sips of wine to dissipate his anger.

At this moment, Chen Zhi hurriedly entered, and arched his hand: "Lord Qiqi, the latest news from Huainan is that the Su thief has broken through Hefei, Sun Ce committed suicide, and now the Su thief is leading the army straight to Yiling." ”

Burst!

Liu Bei had just swallowed half of the wine, and he squirted out in one breath, snatching the battle report from Chen Dao's hand, and couldn't wait for Duanxiang.

Hiss Lala –

Liu Bei tore the information in his hand to shreds, and scolded angrily: "Sun Ce, a useless boy, dares to be called the little overlord, and he was defeated so quickly!" ”

In the big tent, all the generals were shocked, and they didn't expect Su Zhe to break Hefei so quickly.

"Lord, Hefei has been lost, Su Zhe will be able to raise a large army to come to Yiling, when the number of his soldiers and horses will exceed our army, the end of this battle will think that it can no longer be consumed, it is time to lead the army to withdraw to Shuzhong."

Zhao Yun stood up for the first time and persuaded Liu Bei to withdraw again.

Liu Bei fell silent.

He was annoyed, but his mind was still sober, knowing that the strength comparison of Yiling's front line was about to undergo upside down.

This is Su Zhe's territory, once Su Zhe's number of soldiers and horses has the upper hand, he will continue to fight, which is tantamount to self-deprecation.

At this time, the soldiers outside came to report, saying that Zhuge Liang had sent a man named Ma Jun to come from Chang'an to ask for a meeting.

"Ma Jun?" Liu Bei was obviously not familiar with this name, so he called him in.

A moment later, a young scholar stepped into the tent and bowed his hand to pay respects.

"Ma Jun, what did Zhuge Junshi send you to do, could it be that there is something to do?" Liu Bei asked uneasily.

Ma Jun hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My lord, there is Zhuge Military Division in Guanzhong, everything is peaceful, and there are two things for his subordinates to come on the orders of the Military Division, and the first thing is to report the good news to the Lord." ”

"Annunciation? What's the joy? Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

"That's right, a few days ago, General Yide sent back the good news that he had defeated Han Sui in Dunhuang, forcing him to escape from Yumen Pass and flee to the Western Regions, and the rebellion in Liangzhou was completely quelled."

When the tent was neutral, it boiled, and all the generals rejoiced, and the haze caused by the failure of the siege had been swept away.

"Okay, good, good, Yide and Zhongda really didn't disappoint me." Liu Bei couldn't hide his joy and praised it.

"Ma Jun, what's the second thing for the military advisor?" Fa Zheng asked.

Ma Jun took out a scroll from his bosom and offered it with both hands: "The military advisor learned that the lord had repeatedly attacked Yiling City, so he and his subordinates worked together to develop a new type of trebuchet, and asked his subordinates to come to Yiling overnight and build it on the spot, so as to help the lord break through Yiling City." ”

A new trebuchet?

Liu Bei was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked Chen Zhi to take the scroll and spread it on the desk.

The scroll is indeed a picture of a trebuchet, but it is quite complex and exquisite, very different from the usual trebuchet, Liu Bei is a layman in terms of machinery, but I can't see where this trebuchet is strong.

"This trebuchet looks a little weird, can it really blast through Yiling City?" Liu Bei's tone was a little questioning.

Ma Jun smiled confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, our new trebuchet is equipped with a counterweight box, which can fire stone projectiles ten times heavier than ordinary trebuchets, which is enough to collapse the ordinary city wall." ”

"Ten times as many stone bullets?" Liu Bei gasped, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"That's right, and the subordinates and military advisors have built one in advance and tested it, please rest assured." Ma Jun said confidently.

The gloom on Liu Bei's face dissipated, closed the scroll, and said happily: "Since this is the case, then what are you waiting for, Ma Jun, you immediately gather all the craftsmen in the camp and make this new trebuchet for me overnight." ”

"Whoa!" Ma Jun received the military order and retreated.

In the big tent, the generals were reinvigorated, and they all rejoiced at the thought that they would soon be able to blast through Yiling City.

At this time, Fa Zheng said: "Don't be happy too early, although this trebuchet is powerful, it is too complicated, and it must take a lot of time to build, and now the thief is already on the way to Yiling, I'm afraid he won't give us so much time to build this new type of trebuchet." ”

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

Liu Bei's face immediately became gloomy, and he nodded and said, "Filial piety is reasonable, but I didn't expect it." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I have a plan to delay the thief for a few more days." The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth raised a confident smirk.

Liu Bei perked up and hurriedly asked Fa Zheng what his plan was.

Fa Zheng was unhurried and explained his clever plan.

The more Liu Bei listened, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but say: "Filial piety is a very good plan, so I will act according to your plan." ”

"This matter is not only to be bought with a lot of money, but also to be able to speak well." Fa Zheng reminded again.

Liu Bei thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Come on, quickly send Deng Zhi to see me." ”

……

Port of Bachu.

As night fell, the last ships docked, and thousands of soldiers disembarked one after another into the harbor.

Since leaving Hefei, Su Zhe's army marched west of the Yangtze River, all the way non-stop, and finally arrived at Baqiu Port, and then less than two days to the west, you can reach the Yiling line.

In order to ensure that the soldiers were in good spirits, Su Zhe decided to settle down in Baqiu Harbor to rest first, and then continue to hurry after a slight adjustment.

In the king's tent, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and the sound of music is beautiful.

Su Zhe sipped a little wine, shook his head and listened to Da Qiao Fuqin, and admired Xiao Qiao dancing in front of the tent.

After the fleet arrived at the Lujiang River that day, the two sisters, Xiao Qiao, didn't know for some reason, and as soon as the two of them combined, they proposed to follow Su Zhe to the front line, so as to serve Su Zhe's diet and daily life on the way, which could be regarded as a reward for Su Zhe.

With such two beauties serving, Su Zhe of course couldn't ask for it, so he agreed to their invitation and brought them to the front line together.

Now Su Zhe found out that these two beauties can not only take care of his life, but also sing and dance, which can make him enjoy himself in his spare time.

After a dance, Xiao Qiao ended with a difficult move, and his legs were almost cocked to the sky.

"Wonderful, good jump!" Su Zhe clapped his hands and applauded.

Before the words fell, Xiao Qiao said "ouch", and fell to the ground softly while holding *.

"Little sister!" Da Qiao was taken aback, put down the guqin and pounced.

Su Zhe also hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support her, and asked with a concerned face, "What's wrong, is it hurt?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little twisted waist, I haven't skipped it for a long time, I didn't expect my old arms and legs to be bad." Xiao Qiao grinned and embarrassed again.

The sentence "old arms and old legs" amused Su Zhe, so he laughed at himself: "If you, a young Ji Ji, call old arms and old legs, then at this old age, have you already asked one leg to step into the coffin." ”

"Oh, King Wei, if you want to say that, it doesn't seem impossible for you......"

"Little sister, what are you talking about!" Da Qiao hurriedly twisted her arm, "King Wei is in his prime, what one leg stepped into the coffin, nonsense!" ”

Looking at the two bickering sisters, Su Zhe's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but have an urge to do it on the spot.

Just when the desire was gradually ignited, Xu Chu hurriedly entered and arched his hand: "King Wei, something happened to Jingnan." ”
