Cao Ang led his troops to escape to Ryukyu. Next, Sui and Shu would divide the territory of the Great Wei.

As for how to divide, the two countries have their own ideas and must be the most beneficial to themselves. So if you can't reach an agreement, it's better to fight and divide whoever wins according to whoever is divided.

As the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Shuang was the commander-in-chief of the attack on Wei this time, and could make a decision directly, but Xu Shu and others were not able to do so. They also needed to quickly whip the news back to the capital of Shu Kingdom, and the decision was made by Shu Emperor Liu Bei.

The news was soon delivered to Kyoto, Shu.

Liu Bei was over fifty years old, and his age was older than the Emperor of Sui and his appearance seemed older. After receiving Xu Shu's urgent report, he immediately ordered someone to invite Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was nearly fifty years old, but he was handsome and elegant, so he was worthy of being the prime minister of Shu.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter that I'm urgently summoning me to come?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Liu Bei handed him the expedited military report. When Zhuge Liang saw that it was sent by Xu Shu, he frowned and said, "A battle determines the division of territory, this..."

"Wolong, sit down and chat. When I first saw the content, I was a little surprised like you, but when I thought about it carefully, I was expecting it. Both sides did not give in. The best way was to fight. The Crown Prince of Sui Dynasty, Yang Shuang, agreed to this opinion on the spot, and seemed full of confidence. Xu Shu did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so I wrote to Wolong, do you think this confrontation can be accepted?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "Each person selects 3,000 troops, regardless of the troops, and conducts direct confrontation. Such a battle depends on who is strong and strong. If this confrontation is done, our Shu Kingdom will naturally not be afraid. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong are all brave and powerful, and their soldiers are also brave and good at fighting. The only variable is the gunpowder in the hands of the Great Sui Dynasty. Your Majesty, I have never seen gunpowder, but the intelligence collected makes me very afraid of this kind of thing called gunpowder and have some fear. In the past, whether it was siege, siege, or confrontation, they were stronger and stronger than the soldiers, but gunpowder changed the mode of combat, and I have to be wary!"

Liu Bei nodded and continued, "The ambition of the Sui Dynasty is obvious. It is difficult for the Tang Dynasty to threaten the Sui Dynasty due to civil strife. According to your previous guess, after destroying the Wei Kingdom, the next target of the Sui Kingdom is Tang. They have gunpowder in their hands, which makes them even more wings. Therefore, we must personally understand the power of gunpowder, and it is best to get gunpowder, so that we can know ourselves and our enemies can win in a hundred battles. Otherwise, wait a hundred years later..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei sighed lightly.

Zhuge Liang knew Liu Bei's regret.

Yang Shuang was the crown prince of Sui State. She had the ability and courage to inherit the future of Sui State and led the Sui State to prosperity. But what about him, Liu Bei?

Only Liu Chan, the son, although Liu Chan is very filial, has no bad habits, and is also very kind and filial, is very clumsy and knows nothing about the governance of state affairs. Now he is in his thirties and still looks like a child who never grows up.

If there is a choice, Liu Bei will definitely make another person the crown prince, but there is no other choice.

So Liu Bei was very worried that when he was a hundred years later, if Shu Kingdom fell into the hands of his son, could it stand by the attack of the Great Sui Dynasty?

Zhuge Liang comforted: "Your Majesty is healthy, and His Highness the Crown Prince is wise and foolish. The Shu Kingdom will definitely last forever!"

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "You have learned to comfort me too. Let's talk about this, so let's agree to the competition."

Zhuge Liang nodded.

Liu Bei said again: "Do you want to send a secret letter to Zhao Yun and ask him to find an opportunity to assassinate Yang Shuang? If Yang Shuang can be killed, even if he fights the Sui Kingdom in full swing, he will be willing to do so."

Zhuge thought for a while and said, "Zhao Yun is bold and meticulous, so he can find opportunities!"

Next, a decree and a secret letter were sent out of Kyoto, Shu.

.........

Yang Shuang waited for more than half a month, and Shu Kingdom sent someone to write, saying that he agreed to decide on land division through war.

So Yang Shuang decided to fight five days later.

Then, Yang Shuang summoned Shi Wansui, Han Qinhu and others to discuss the combat plan.

Both sides began to select the most elite soldiers and form the most elite troops to prepare for the battle five days later.

Soon, the day of war came.

According to the agreement, the two sides arrived twenty miles west of Fuzhou City. It was a plain, just suitable for confrontation. Both sides led 3,000 troops to face each other, about four or five miles away.

On the Sui State side, Han Qinhu was appointed as the general, Yang Lin and Yang Su were the deputy generals on the left and right. The three thousand soldiers and horses under their command were divided into five hundred cavalry, five hundred shield hands, three hundred archers, and the rest were infantry.

The entire army formed a matrix, with cavalry on both wings, shield hands in front, archers following closely, followed by infantry.

This formation looks average, it is an ordinary structure.

Among the three thousand soldiers and horses of Shu, there were 1,500 cavalry, 500 shield hands and 300 archers, and the rest were infantry. The entire army was an arrow cluster formation, like a sharp sword that was always fired at any time.

Judging from the combat deployment between the two sides, Shu Kingdom still hopes to borrow the powerful mobility of the cavalry to directly divide the Great Sui army and then wipe out one by one. After all, among all the troops, the speed and attack power of the cavalry are second to none.

However, the cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty was only 500, and the function of these 500 was to assist flanking, encirclement, and mainly to look at infantry.

So in the view of Shu, the formation of the Great Sui Dynasty was very problematic.

The problem is not that the generals of the Sui Dynasty did not know how to lead troops, but that they knew that the cavalry had advantages but did not use it, which means that they had other plans, which was the most worrying thing.

The Shu Kingdom led the troops this time with Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, and the irritable Zhang Fei did not come on the field, for fear that he would be angry and would not obey orders to attack randomly.

This duel is not a joke, but a real fight. Only when one side withdraws the troops, it is regarded as surrender and takes the initiative to withdraw the troops will stop the attack. As long as you do not surrender, even if you kill only one soldier and one soldier, it will not be considered the end.

Yang Shuang also guessed that the formation of Shu Kingdom would definitely be dominated by cavalry, so Han Qinhu had already practiced how to annihilate the opponent.

Both sides were eyeing each other and did not say any polite words. They each started beating drums, and the drum sounded and both sides officially began to attack.

When the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer and enters the range of the bow and arrow, the archers on both sides begin to shoot arrows.

The arrows of Shu Kingdom are ordinary bows and arrows, but the bows and arrows of the Great Sui Kingdom are not ordinary bows and arrows. Gunpowder is tied to the feathers used by the Great Sui Kingdom.

Yang Shuang knew the bravery of the soldiers of Shu Kingdom. He might not win when fighting with them with real swords and guns, so he had to use gunpowder.

When the Great Sui soldiers faced the bow and arrow shot from Shu, the shield raised the round shield and formed a barrier to block the arrow feathers shot.

The same is true for Shu Kingdom, but they blocked the arrow feathers, but they could not stop the power of the gunpowder explosion. Although the power of the gunpowder explosion tied to the arrow feathers was not very powerful, it could make a loud noise. The soldiers of Shu Kingdom were startled for the first time when they came into contact with each other, let alone the horses riding by the cavalry.

Although the war horses were all domesticated, they were still panicked in the face of the bursting sound of gunpowder, which directly disrupted the cavalry formation.

Guan Yu was sitting on the Red Rabbit Horse, the best among the horses. Even the Red Rabbit Horse was so scared that he kept moving the horse's hooves, a little impatient.

"Damn it, is this gunpowder?" Guan Yu cursed angrily, and then he could only order to comfort the war horses and at the same time allow the cavalry to accelerate the attack. As long as the distance is closer, the opponent's bow and arrow will not work.

But soon, when the distance was closer, the cavalry led by Guan Yu was still thirty or forty meters away from the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, their nightmare really began.

Han Qinhu ordered the shield hand to pull it into a line of defense in front, and use the shield hand to insert it on the ground as a wall. The infantry behind held the thunderbolt bullet in his hand, and then ignited it and began to throw it towards the attacking cavalry. What does it mean for each of the infantrymen to throw a thunderbolt bullet?

The thunderbolt bounce flew up and flew towards the Shu cavalry. They raised their heads and watched the dense black iron balls fall down. Just when they were surprised what this was, the black iron ball exploded.

Boom boom boom boom...

The thunder bullet was mixed with iron pieces. After being hit by the impact of gunpowder, it was even more powerful than a hidden weapon. When shot on horses, it was a bloody hole, which made the war horses run around in pain. If shot on cavalry, it would be a nightmare for these light armored cavalry! Some were shot to death directly!

If the thunderbolt bomb explodes under the hoof of a war horse, it will be like a war horse being knocked down and lose its combat effectiveness, and the cavalry above are seriously injured, and perhaps before they get up, they will be trampled to death by other panicked war horses.

As the leader of the army, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also tasted the bitter taste.

However, these three people should be glad because they were wearing heavy armor and the iron piece shot on them did not hurt them, but the thunder bomb exploded beside them, and the impact also hurt their war horses.

Huang Zhong's war horse was blown to the ground and dying.

Zhao Yun's Zhaoye Yu Lion was also seriously injured and blood flowed.

Before they could confront the Sui army, they were killed and injured by gunpowder. On the other hand, the wall made of shields on the Great Sui side did not almost attack after the explosion of the Thunderbolt bomb, and there were basically no casualties.

"attack!"

Seeing that the time was right, Han Qinhu raised his arms and shouted loudly.

The shield hands immediately retreated to both sides, and the infantry who had been waiting in the middle began to move forward. They held spears and rushed towards the cavalry of Shu.

At this moment, the chaotic cavalry of Shu Kingdom could not restore its orderly formation at all, so that the advantages of the cavalry were gone.

"Kill!" Guan Yu roared, and the Yanyue Sword in his hand learned about a Sui soldier directly. His eyes were red when he was angry. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu was invincible for most of his life and was defeated here, and he was defeated so miserably!

So he can only relieve his inner hatred through killing.

The same is true for Zhao Yun.

But even if the three of them have the courage to be inappropriate, how many people can they kill?

Under the attack of the Sui soldiers, the Shu soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Moreover, the troops of Shu Kingdom were in chaos, but the Great Sui side was not in chaos. The 500 cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty had already surrounded the two wings and had to surround the Shu army so that they could be trapped in the jar.

In the rear of Shu Kingdom, Xu Shu watched with his own eyes as his side went from being confident to falling into a disadvantage. The situation changed so quickly that it made Xu Shu dumbfounded.

Moreover, Xu Shu was frightened.

Gunpowder...so scary!

Zhang Fei, who was standing beside him, was furious and was about to rush into the battlefield with a snake spear, but was stopped by Xu Shu in time.

"Mingjin will withdraw your troops, let's admit defeat!" Xu Shu's mouth was full of bitterness.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Absent? We haven't lost yet, we can still fight back. Lao Xu, aren't you known as resourceful? It's not inferior to the Prime Minister and Pang Tong at all, how can we admit defeat?"

Xu Shu didn't want to admit defeat, but in the face of absolute power, no matter how many strategies you have, it's empty talk. No matter what formation you use or how to arrange troops, they will arrange them directly, and they will blow you up, and you will even fart them. This is not a level of battle at all.

With the body, you can't beat gunpowder.

Xu Shu glared at Zhang Fei and shouted, "Zhang Fei, the more you obstruct, the more soldiers of Shu Kingdom are sacrificed! Mingjin will withdraw his troops! If you lose, you will lose. Can't our Shu Kingdom afford to lose?"

Zhang Fei was furious and finally ordered people to withdraw their troops.

As soon as the signal to withdraw the troops sounded, the only remaining combat morale of the Shu soldiers disappeared, and they immediately withdrew their troops.

Guan Yu was fighting with Han Qinhu, and the two fought each other, fighting hard.

At this time, Guan Yu was very angry that not only his troops were defeated, but even he could not defeat the enemy general for a long time, which made him feel great surrender.

Han Qinhu became more and more courageous as he fought.

Guan Yu is fierce, but Han Qinhu is not a vegetarian. Han Qinhu cannot defeat him, but it is easy to drag him down with defense.

Zhao Yunze and Yang Lin confronted each other.

Zhao Yun's shooting skills were fast and sharp, and Yang Lin's Qiulong stick was also very strong, and the two fought hard.
