Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 426: losing streak

While Wei Yan was bombarding the Jingxiang navy, Liu Qi also rushed to Liqiu with Jiangxia's troops, wanting to help Liu Cong.

Although his eldest son was squeezed out of the inner circle after his father's death, Liu Qi also knew that this was the choice of the Jingxiang clan, and his brother did not kill them all, but let himself guard Jiangxia, which was a disguise to let him have a part. Independent military power, can stand in Jiangxia and will not be killed.

Even if you don't mention these, Liu Qi understands the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.

However, as soon as he arrived at Liqiu with 5,000 troops, he was ambushed by Deng Ai who had been waiting here and led 3,000 soldiers.

The crossbow arrows shot out from the mountains and forests. The Jiang Xia army, who had just arrived, didn't understand what was going on, and was smashed by the overwhelming rain of arrows.

Deng Ai asked the soldiers to shoot three crossbow boxes before they rushed out. He was not very old, but he had been trained in the trap camp since he was eleven years old. He was extremely brave in martial arts. Quite brave, at this moment, after a rain of arrows disrupted the enemy's formation, he rushed in without saying a word, and Liu Qi had no choice but to retreat.

Deng Ai did not pursue him far, and after seeing the enemy retreat, he left a group of men and horses to watch. If the enemy army left and returned, he would immediately report, and he would lead his troops and horses back to Fancheng. , Above the river, there are all shipwrecks.

"General, the last general will take people across the river!" After Deng Ai came to Wei Yan's side to return to life, he saw that Deng Ai was eager to try.

"Don't worry, now that the past, the casualties will be heavy, you go and transfer all the stone bullets from Xinye to me, be careful that they cross the river and attack him for three days and three nights, I see how this Xiangyang will be defended! "Wei Yan stopped him and rushed over now, why didn't he just hit Xiangyang directly, what did he do so hard to hit Fancheng?

There is only a water gap between Fancheng and Xiangyang. There are only eight hundred steps in the middle. In the past, this was the perfect defense of Xiangyang. Attacking Xiangyang, Fancheng can also quickly send reinforcements to Xiangyang.

No matter how you fight or which side you fight, you can't completely trap him, you can get support, and the Han River is also the narrowest in this section.

But now this advantage falls in Wei Yan's eyes, but it has become an absolute disadvantage. There is no other reason. The distance between Xiangfan is almost 800 steps. , it is not easy to attack, but for Wei Yan, this Fancheng is not difficult to attack, the Vulcan cannon blasts violently, plus the detonation of thunder and explosion, it is basically broken.

With the equipment and strength of the Nanyang Army, the breach of the city gate means the battle is over. This is why Deng Ai wanted to rush to the other side as soon as he came back. The Nanyang Army has this strength.

"Here!"

Deng Ai agreed, and left with a rush of troops and horses.

Wei Yan immediately ordered the guns to be adjusted and fired at Xiangyang City opposite. At the same time, they prepared a continuous crossbow army and an army with a thunder **** crossbow by the river. As long as the enemy army dared to charge here, they would shoot.

Before Xiangyang County had woken up from the shock of the navy being beaten to pieces, the Vulcan Cannon began to blast towards the city head of Xiangyang.

"Boom boom~"

The continuous sound of cannons continued. As the county seat of Jingzhou, Xiangyang City was naturally much stronger than Fan City, but this was the case, and stone chips were also flying when a stone bullet hit the city wall.

Under the bombardment of the stone bullets, the soldiers who defended the city could only hide behind the parapet and shivered. They wanted to fight back. They could shoot the stone bullets across the Han River, but they couldn't shoot the arrows. If you can be beaten but can't fight back, in this case, where is there any morale to speak of.

It seemed that Cai Mao had climbed the tower and watched for a while, when a stone bullet hit the tower under his feet. Cai Mao was frightened and quickly retreated from the city, returning to the city in dismay.

In Xiangyang City, Kuailiang, Kuaiyue, Cai He, Zhang Yun and others have gathered in the Governor's Mansion. Liu Cong is fine.

"Hey~" Cai Mao looked at everyone's eyes, sat down and shook his head feebly and said, "The Vulcan Cannon is mounted on the head of Fancheng City, and it hits the city wall directly across the Han River. Go down, the enemy army has not crossed the river, and the city of Xiangyang will probably be smashed to pieces by them!"

Everyone has also seen the scene where the navy was bombarded with no power to fight back today. Zhang Yun scratched his head and said, "There are at least eight hundred steps between these two cities. That Vulcan Cannon is really so powerful!?"

Regarding the power of the Vulcan Cannon, they only knew that it was very powerful from the people who escaped from the Central Plains battlefield, but they had no idea how powerful it was. They always felt that it was a bit exaggerated. It doesn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Tonight, I will send someone to cross the river at night to see if we can sneak up on the Vulcan Cannon!" Cai Mao gritted his teeth.

I'm afraid it will be difficult!

Kuai Yue sighed, that Wei Yan is also a good general in battle. Before the two sides fought against each other, the Jingzhou army suffered a lot from Wei Yan's loss.

But Kuaiyue didn't stop him, and there is no other way now. What if Wei Yan underestimated the enemy and careless?

They pin their hopes of victory or defeat on the enemy general's underestimation of the enemy. From this point of view, they have no hope.

That night, Cai Mao ordered Wen Pin and Wang Wei to lead the army to cross the river at night, but the boat crossing the river had just reached the shore, and suddenly countless rockets were fired from the opposite city, followed by two men and horses rushing out from the city. The Thunder God's Crossbow didn't even go ashore, and the two men and horses killed countless casualties. Wen Pin and Wang Wei could only retreat to the West Bank in embarrassment after leaving hundreds of corpses. This last road seems to be blocked. died.

Cai Mao was a little desperate.

"Maybe we can try to cross the river to attack Xinye, and Gao Shun takes the main force of Nanyang to attack the Central Plains. Nanyang should be quite empty at this time. After Wei Yan brings out these troops, Nanyang may not have many defenders at this moment." Counting, there are always a number of enemy troops. If there are heavy troops here, the defense at the rear is empty, and they have to make use of the advantages of the navy.

Cai Mao had lost his confidence after being beaten, but it was better than sitting and waiting to die. The next day, he ordered Liu Pan to lead the army across the river, trying to capture Xinye, and cut off Wei Yan's way back.

This time, there was no interception, and Wen Ping came to Xinye smoothly. However, although there were not many defenders in Xinye, only 800, they were all elite. In addition, they were on the defensive. He failed to break through Xinye several times, but instead damaged a lot of troops, and in the end had no choice but to withdraw.

On the third day, Xinye's stone bombs were sent to Fancheng, and Wei Yan began to uncontrollably shoot at Xiangyang. The barrels even exploded two. Wei Yan could only have people pour water on the barrels to cool down.

After three days and three nights of continuous bombardment, the walls of Xiangyang City were devastated and collapsed in many places.

Even the city wall of the county, although the exterior is made of masonry, the interior is still a rammed earth structure. Facing this continuous bombardment, the city wall began to crumble.

Deng Ai once again asked Wei Yan to cross the river to attack the city.

This time, Wei Yan did not refuse. Under the cover of stone bullets, Deng Ai led 3,000 soldiers to cross the river and blasted the crumbling city gate with detonating mines. The soldiers on both sides fought desperately under the city gate.

Although there are many soldiers in Xiangyang, the Nanyang Army is well-equipped, not to mention the continuous crossbow shooting. Just in close combat with armor and weapons, the Xiangyang Army cannot split other people's armor, but the Nanyang Army can easily kill the enemy with a single knife. The soldiers of the Nanyang Army The armor he wears is at the level of generals in Xiangyang. Lu Bu already has equipment for making armor. It is not easy to make such fine armor, but the two armors can be manufactured in batches. This gap Next, how to fight?

The Xiangyang defenders resisted for less than half an hour and then began to collapse across the board. Cai Mao and others saw that they were invincible, so they took Liu Cong out of Xiangyang in advance and retreated to Jiangling.

Jingzhou County governs Xiangyang, and it was under such circumstances that Wei Yan was attacked. After capturing Xiangyang, Wei Yan had no intention of stopping at all. After making some repairs, he sent his troops south to pursue Cai Mao and others.

When Cai Mao and others fled to Jiangling, they were already quite embarrassed. Many Jingzhou troops saw that they could not fight, and they had already begun to surrender in large numbers.

However, this is not the worst. The worst thing is that while they were fully resisting Wei Yan, Zhang Liao had successfully broken through the defense of the Jingzhou army and entered the territory of Jingzhou.

Compared with Wei Yan, Zhang Liao's side had enough manpower, but it was always blocked by the terrain, and now he successfully broke through the defense of the Jingzhou army.

The Jingzhou Army sent troops to stop it several times, but they were beaten and lost their helmets and armor.

"How can this be good!?" Jiangling City~www.readwn.com~ Cai Mao was shocked when he learned that Zhang Liao had entered Jingzhou. It was so miserable, when Lu Bu released his hand, how could he still be able to stop Lu Bu?

"Withdraw the troops!" At this moment, Kuai Yue was quite calm.

"Withdrawing the army?" Cai Mao looked at Kuaiyue: "I still have Jiangling City to defend. Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to withdraw at this time?"

"Xiangyang was unable to stop Wei Yan. Now that Zhang Liao has more Vulcan cannons and more troops, how can a Jiangling city be able to stop it?" Kuaiyue asked back.

"This..." Cai Mao was a little speechless, the truth is true, but he was a little unwilling!

"At this time, if you take the initiative to retreat to Jingnan, you can still transport the population and cargo here to Jingnan. If you stick to Jiangling, you will not only lose your troops and lose your generals, but when you are forced to retreat to Jingnan, you will be empty!" Kuai Yue Shen sound.

Jiangling is an important town in Jingxiang, and the materials stored here are extremely rich. If you stay, it will be cheaper for the enemy. It is better to withdraw as soon as possible. Although the Nanyang Army is powerful, but there is no navy, the Vulcan can not be carried on the ship. Go, it is impossible to hit the other side across the general.

Cai Mao hesitated again and again, but decided to agree to Kuaiyue's plan. At the moment, it was just to delay Wei Yan and Zhang Liao and buy time for them to withdraw...
