Chapter 1035: Liu Bei is deflated
Although Cao's artillery fire was sharp, Liu Bei came with tens of thousands of troops. He could not go back after a walk, so he would lose the price so much.
Liu Bei learned from his mistakes, but finally chose to continue attacking, retreated several miles away to build siege equipment, rested for a night, and rushed to the city early the next morning and launched an attack directly at the city.
As the war drums sounded, countless Liu soldiers carried the ladders, pushed the siege hammers and other siege equipment, and rushed towards Luyang City without fear of death.
On the city, Yu Jin looked at Liu Jun like an ant below and sneered: "Liu Bei is really ignorant of life and death. Since that's the case, give him some strength, prepare for artillery fire, and fire a round of volleys."
Hundreds of artillery fires were fired at the same time, rumbling down toward the city. After landing, a large pit was immediately exploded. Some people, some unlucky people were unfortunately hit by shells and flew into the sky in an instant. When they fell again, they were already broken into pieces, and they looked miserable.
When did Liu Jun see such a situation? He was frightened on the spot. His charge stopped and hesitated.
Not only them, but even Liu, Guan and Zhang were shocked.
The ears are weak and the eyes are true. In the past, the secret spies of the embroidered guards reported how powerful the artillery fire of the Cao army was, but they didn't believe it very much. Now it seems that what they said is true. If the artillery fire of the Cao army is so powerful, they will just surrender.
Despite this, Liu Bei was still a little unwilling to give up and shouted loudly: "Transfer my order. The first one to rush to the city is 10,000 bounties, and you will be promoted to level 10. Rush me, move the position forward, and I will supervise the battle myself."
Guan Yu's face changed slightly, and he quickly advised: "Brother, you can't. You have seen the power of the artillery fire of the Cao army just now. If you are hit..." Liu Bei said: "It is precisely because the artillery fire of the Cao army is sharp that we have to attack even more. Taking this opportunity to test the reality of the Cao army, there are so many cannons on the city, and I don't expect to capture Luyang, but the soldiers must be familiar with the sound of the cannons, understand the performance of the cannons, and know the power of the cannons, otherwise they will suffer a great loss when facing Cao army in the future."
After saying that, he ignored Guan Zhang's dissuasion and moved the position forward half a mile.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they came to a crooked tree.
Above the city, Yu Jin kept watching the four directions with a telescope. Seeing Liu Bei seeking death and entering the cannon range, he was immediately excited and shouted: "Hurry, all the artillery fire is aimed at me. If we can kill Liu Bei, we will make great contributions."
This time, Xun You did not stop him, but actively cooperated and went to the scene to command.
When Zhang Fei died, Liu Bei took revenge. When Liu Bei died, his son was not as old as Cao Sheng. Who would avenge him?
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as Liu Bei died, Jiangdong and Jingxiang, which had just been unified, immediately fell apart and returned to a state of war.
For Cao's army, the war-torn Jiangnan was much better than the unified Jiangnan. At least there was no need to worry about the Southern Army going north at any time and capturing Cao Cao's retreat.
More than twenty red cannons were fired at the same time at the same time. Sadly, they did not hit one shot, and all of them were 108,000 miles away. The nearest one was still half a foot away from Liu Bei.
Xun You stomped his feet in anger and said, "Damn, this group of artillery soldiers need to train well when they turn back."
He was wailing and unwilling to accept it, but Liu Bei felt a different feeling.
Finally, he used heavy rewards to awaken the soldiers' fighting spirit. He was watching the soldiers charge. A shell exploded around him, and the hot air waves rushed the three brothers and their horses. Liu Bei was the most unlucky. He died when he landed on the ground and was stuck in the crooked tree next to him.
"Brother, brother..." Guan and Zhang, who were hit on the ground, changed their faces. They hurriedly got up to rescue without caring about their physical pain. As soon as they stood up, a shell flew into the trunk, and the tree fell to one side with a crooked neck.
Poor Liu Bei also fell to the ground with the big tree and plunged into the land.
Guan and Zhang stepped forward, pulled him out of the ground like a carrot, lifted it away. The power of the cannon was too terrifying and could not be resisted by personal force. Unless they could shoot arrows several miles away, it would be better to stay away.
They ran all the way, ran out of the cannon range and stopped, and put Liu Bei on the ground to check his injuries.
Liu Bei coughed violently and struggled, "I'm fine, I'm ordering the withdrawal of troops and returning to Jiangling. This battle cannot be fought."
Guan Yu frowned and said, "If we retreat, Yuan Shao will be in danger. How can I explain to him?"
"Tell me a lot."
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "He asked for help and we sent troops. I can't defeat Cao's army. What can I do if we can do? Our top priority now is to go back to study artillery, rather than fight with Cao's army here."
"When Cao Yuan confronts each other, you must study the artillery, otherwise when Cao Cao frees up his hands, we will sweep away like destroying Yuan Shao."
"Here."
The Guan and Zhang brothers did not say anything again and nodded in agreement.
Why do they care so much about Yuan Shao?
The sound of gold was withdrawing, and the sound of gongs came out. Liu's army, who were attacking, retreated one after another and ran out of the cannon range at a faster speed than the charge.
The war stopped, and after another quarter of an hour, Liu Bei pulled a piece of white cloth from somewhere, fixed it on the branch and ordered people to shake it to the city.
Everyone who fought the war knew that shaking the white flag meant surrender. Seeing this, Yu Jin ordered people to stop attacking and let him go.
The Liu army soldiers carrying the white flag came to the city and raised their heads and shouted: "General Yu, Military Advisor Xun, the artillery fire of your army is sharp, our army cannot resist. My lord specially ordered me to come and tell General Yu that he did not plan to attack Luyang and prepare to go back. Can General Yu be kind to let us take back the remains of the injured soldiers and the fallen soldiers?"
Yu Jin and Xun You looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and then shouted to the city: "Liu Situ loves soldiers as much as his son. Yu admires it. Since Liu Situ is ready to return, Yu is not convenient to be this evil person. I agree. But one thing is, if you want to take the opportunity to collect the bodies of soldiers and attack Luyang, it is best to think clearly about the consequences."
"I dare not, I dare not."
The Liu Jun soldiers carrying the white flag quickly laughed and turned back.
Not long after, thousands of Liu Jun and a group of medical soldiers came to the city, gathered the bodies to treat the wounded, and became busy quickly.
Yu Jin looked at the scene below the city and smiled bitterly: "It's so good to fight a battle that is crushing strength and doesn't use your brain. Unfortunately, the big-eared thief was hard and was not killed."
Xun You smiled and said, "It's great. After this battle, the big-eared thief will never dare to invade us easily. Without him making trouble, the lord can free up his hands and do his best to deal with Yuan Shao."
"When the lord takes over Bingzhou and Guanzhong, and cultivates for two or three years, then go south to fight against Liu Bei and unify the world."
Yu Jin showed a rare smile on his face and said, "Yes, the world is destined to be the lord."
During the attack just now, Liu Bei's army suffered not much casualties, only one or two thousand people.
Despite this, the medical soldiers were still busy for nearly half an hour before they carried all the wounded away.
Liu Bei didn't stay for too long, and led the army to return to Wancheng in shame along the official road.
I can only be beaten but not fight back. I feel depressed when I think about it.
Yu Jin waved his hand on the city with great enthusiasm: "Liu Situ walks slowly, come often when you have time."
