Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"After the city wall is raised, our archers will shoot down from a higher place, and they can just avoid those crossbow arrows. As long as Cao Ang and the others dare to approach the city, we will fight back immediately."

Zhang Fei added: "I think the distance of the weapons they throw the boulders cannot be too far to be effective. The same is true for bows and crossbows. As long as they exceed this range, they will not be able to hit us. If they want to attack, they must Come within range of our attack."

Liu Bei thought about it seriously for a while, then nodded and said, "immediately raise the city wall!"

It is not easy at all to formally raise the city wall with bricks and stones.

However, there is no shortage of wood in the city. You can build a wooden wall first to block the top of the tower. Although it is not as hard as brick and stone, it can also be used.

Cao Ang succeeded in counterattacking for the first time, so he withdrew his troops and did not continue to attack the city.

This small-scale attack is to test Liu Bei's strength, and Cao Ang probably understands it now.

the next morning.

"My lord, they raised the city wall overnight!"

A soldier walked up to Cao Ang anxiously, then raised his finger to the side of the city wall.

When Cao Ang walked out of the barracks, he saw a wooden wall above the tower.

The soldiers on Liu Bei's side all stood behind the wooden wall, bowed their bows and set arrows, as if waiting for Cao Ang to launch an attack, and they were ready to wait for work.

"I don't know if it's because Liu Bei's brain is bad, or Xu Shu has a false name." Chen Yang laughed, "It's kind of useless to use wood to heighten the city wall."

Cao Ang was full of self-confidence: "In the face of our absolute strength, it is really useless. I think Zi'an will break the city today and win the battle quickly."

Although Chen Yang repeatedly assured that Sun Ce did not need to pay attention, Cao Ang still wanted to solve Liu Bei as soon as possible to prevent Sun Ce.

"Let's break it, Liu Bei's strength is too weak, it's easy to break the city, but I have to prepare, Yun Chang, come with me..."

Chen Yang beckoned, called Guan Yu aside, and ordered a few things.

Cao Ang simply led thousands of people, gathered under the city tower, and prepared to break the city again.

"Cao Ang, I never thought you would dare to come!"

Liu Bei was in a happy mood, he squinted his eyes, and said in an extremely disdainful tone: "Come on, I'll wait for you to break the city!"

After failing so many times, and finally succeeding once, Liu Bei felt that his heart was already drifting, and he was still drifting high and far away, so he dismissed Cao Ang.

If Cao Cao came, or saw Chen Yang appear in Cao Jun, he might still have some scruples.

In the past two days, he only saw Cao Ang appearing in front of his eyes, but not Chen Yang. He still didn't know what fear was.

"It seems that Cao Ang is nothing more than that!"

Xu Shu put down his worries, and said, "But he can defeat Yuan Shao's former subordinate Zhu Ling with fewer victories and more, so he should still have some strength, so we still have to be careful."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "It should be that Zhu Ling is too weak, brave but not resourceful. I have Yuan Zhi here, why should I be afraid of mere Cao Ang? If Cao Cao came to the city personally, I might not dare to fight them here!"

"That's what my lord said!"

Xu Shu sighed, "Cao Cao can be considered a hero, but his son is so useless."

The two looked at each other, then laughed at each other.

"My lord, look quickly, what's that below?"

Zhao Yun's exclamation interrupted their complacency.

The two looked down and saw a three-bow bed crossbow pushed out from behind Cao Ang. Several soldiers immediately adjusted their angles and aimed at the wooden wall of the tower.

Liu Bei had never seen the three-bow bed crossbow. Back in Runan, the day Chen Yang broke the city, he had already escaped from the tunnel.

Vaguely, there was a bad feeling telling him that the thing under the city was absolutely threatening.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Perhaps it was the instinct to escape many times, telling Liu Bei that something bad happened this time, and there was danger.

He ignored the others, turned around and jumped off the wooden wall.

The next moment, an even harsher piercing sound rushed towards their position like the wind roaring.

The long arrow shot out from the bed crossbow.

Made of wood, after passing through the heightened city wall, it looked like paper, and was brutally torn open by a long arrow.

Several archers standing on it died on the spot. The strength of the long arrows did not decrease, and they continued to rush forward for a long time before falling into the city.

rumbling...

The crumbling wooden walls all collapsed, taking advantage of the situation and knocking over many people.

Fortunately, Liu Bei and the others reacted quickly and escaped the catastrophe.

boom!

Suddenly, there was another loud noise.

A long arrow from the bed crossbow fiercely fell on the edge of the city wall, and a large piece of masonry was smashed just like that. In an instant, the stone flew and hit the body very painfully.

This scene, if you want to say how shocking it is, it will be as shocking as it is.

Liu Bei and the others were stunned.

"how can that be!"

Xu Shu was the first to react, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Cao Jun actually has this kind of weapon. Yuan Shao, who is sitting in the four northern states, is not wronged!"

If it wasn't like this, how could Yuan Shao have been suppressed and beaten by Cao Cao from the very beginning?

His exclamation also woke up Liu Bei, and he said anxiously: "Yuan Zhi, what should we do now?"

"run!"

Xu Shu looked ahead deeply.

"Huh? What?"

Liu Bei felt that he had heard it wrong. Is this something a military division can say casually?

"It should be said that we must abandon the city and flee as soon as possible. As long as Cao Jun breaks through Wancheng, we must not be opponents, and the end will be death!"

Xu Shu said that he had already stood up, walked towards the bottom of the tower, and said even more urgently: "Yuan Shao can't beat Cao Jun, let alone us!"

When it comes to escaping, Liu Bei is definitely an expert.

Hearing what Xu Shu said, he didn't dare to linger, so he ran down the tower and left through the gate on the other side, leaving only a few people standing guard on the tower to delay the time.

"Continue to siege the city!"

Cao Ang commanded the soldiers and pointed the crossbow on the bed to the city gate.

There was another loud noise, and the city gate was easily pierced by the bombardment.

Cao Jun rushed in and fought with the guarding soldiers.

-

"Run, run!"

Liu Bei had already escaped from Wancheng, he turned his head and looked towards the tower, with lingering fear in his heart.

"Why can't a genius like Chen Yang be used by me?"

The more he thought about it, the more regretful Liu Bei felt, and his resentment towards Chen Yang deepened.

He also began to regret that at the beginning, he should not have listened to Sima Yi's nonsense and insisted on killing Chen Yang.

"Fortunately, I escaped quickly!" Liu Bei thought again.

They stayed away from Wancheng and fled towards the south at full speed.

After a long time, they reached one of the tributaries of the Han River. As long as they crossed this river, they could return to Xinye in no time.

Now they had no choice but to go back to Xinye. Even if they were flooded, they could only go back to defend Cao Ang.

Liu Bei ordered the whole army to cut down trees and build floating bridges and rafts to cross the river as soon as possible.

He was busy until this afternoon, when everything was ready, Liu Bei first left on a raft.

They had just set foot on the river bank, before they had time to catch their breath, they saw a group of soldiers and horses rushing out ahead.

"Xuande, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
