Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 717: Bed crossbows are complicated to make. Our army doesn’t have them at all, not even Xili

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. Wancheng was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Liu Bei had no one except a few fierce generals under his command.

If they attack Wancheng rashly, the entire army may be wiped out.

Cao Ang continued: "I will not only give you these armors, but I will also help you train your troops and train a strong army."

Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, this was simply a temptation for him.

Wancheng is a very important strategic location. With strong soldiers and horses, if Wancheng can be captured.

It will benefit him a lot. It will not only solve the current predicament, but also enhance his strength and kill two birds with one stone.

"This." Liu Bei muttered: "This is a great temptation for someone, and I must consider it carefully."

"Brother Xuande, please think about it, I'll give you three days." Cao Ang said calmly, as if he was confident.

Liu Bei thought hard and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Mr. Cao, I will give you an answer in three days."

"Come on, then I'll wait for the good news." Cao Ang said with a smile: "By the way, I still have a few paintings here, I might as well sell them out.

I believe I can earn several thousand gold coins. If Brother Xuande feels it's not enough, you can come back to me. "

Liu Bei nodded, then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Liu Bei's retreating back, Cao Ang's face turned cold and he murmured: "Liu Bei, just wait to die."

"Lord, Liu Bei will definitely take the bait." The counselor said, "Now we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"Yes." Cao Ang nodded and said, "But this time we need to prepare more food, grass and medicine."

"I obey," the counselor said, "But my lord, what should I do if Liu Bei doesn't want to?"

"Hehe, then we can't be blamed." Cao Ang said sinisterly.

Liu Bei walked out of the camp and saw Xu Sheng standing at the door. He wondered: "What is Mr. Xu doing?"

Xu Sheng cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I am here to congratulate you."

"This." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the counselor in front of him about the matter, and said, "Just now Cao Ang asked me to send elite troops to attack Wancheng."

Xu Sheng became anxious and said: "My lord, you cannot be deceived by Cao Ang. Cao Ang is ambitious and will never be willing to be inferior to others.

If he is given a chance, he will definitely rebel and join forces with Yuan Shao to carve up the North Sea. If the lord agrees to Cao Ang's request now, it will give Cao Ang an excuse to rebel. "

"This." Liu Bei hesitated.

Cao Ang put so much pressure on him that he simply couldn't refuse.

"My lord, Cao Ang is so ambitious and must not be left here." Xu Sheng continued to advise: "If you don't take action now, wait until Cao Ang calms down. Then it will be too late to take action."

Liu Bei took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "But I have no choice for the time being. Send me an order and send troops tomorrow."

The next day, under Wancheng.

Liu Bei stood on the chariot and commanded the army to charge.

"kill!"

Above Wancheng, Lu Bu looked at the densely packed Liu Bei army below, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips and said: "A mere fifty or sixty thousand people dare to attack my Wancheng. I am really not afraid of death."

Wen Chou smiled and said, "Leave it to me this time."

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "You are the commander-in-chief, and your task is even more difficult. You can't rush in. Let Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao come on."

Wen Chou had no choice but to do as Lu Bu ordered.

"Lord, Lu Bu can't shrink back, what should we do?" Xu Sheng asked.

Liu Bei frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Don't worry, Lu Bu is nothing to be afraid of. Lu Bu is so brave that he only dominates in one corner. The other princes regard him as a chicken and a dog. If it weren't for Lu Bu's good luck, he would have been killed long ago. Went out."

"But if that's the case, wouldn't we be able to capture Wancheng?" Xu Sheng asked.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No, if Lu Bu doesn't come out, we won't fight either. We can just wait for reinforcements."

"But if our army runs out of food and grass, we may not be able to defeat Lu Bu." Xu Sheng said.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "We can cut off their supply of food and grass. So what if Lu Bu captures Wancheng? Without food supplements, Lu Bu will not be able to survive for long."

"Haha, that's it, my lord is really powerful." Xu Sheng suddenly realized, and then said excitedly: "I will make arrangements immediately."

Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "Give me the order to retreat to Wancheng and defend it to the death."

"Here."

On the wall of Wancheng, Lu Bu began to become anxious.

Liu Bei suddenly led his troops southward, which broke the balance of Wancheng and forced him to attack Liu Bei. However, he did not have many troops now and could not stop Liu Bei's progress.

"Report!"

"General Qi, Liu Bei's reinforcements have arrived. They number in the thousands and are heading towards Wancheng." The scout came to report.

"Huh!" Lu Bu roared angrily: "Damn Liu Bei, he is so cunning, he even brought food and grass."

"General, what should we do?" asked the adjutant.

Lu Bu said: "Immediately send out sentries to detect the whereabouts of Liu Bei's army, and then notify General Wen Chou to prepare to fight against Liu Bei's army."

Although Lu Bu was angry, he still remained calm. Since Liu Bei dared to attack Wancheng, he must have his own trump card.

But he’s not that easy to bully!

"promise!"

"Lord, Cao Ang's reinforcements are here." Chen Gong said standing next to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sighed softly and said, "Cao Ang's reinforcements are coming, and we must go to war. How should we deal with them now?"

Although Liu Bei was resourceful, he was ultimately weak and controlled by others. Faced with such a situation, he was still panicked.

"Don't worry, my lord, I have a way to solve this matter." Chen Gong said confidently.

"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

Chen Gong said: "Cao Ang wants to capture Wancheng unless he has strong crossbows and sharp arrows to help him, so I think it is best for my lord to get a batch of bed crossbows."

"Bed crossbow?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Bed crossbows are complicated to make. Our army doesn't have any at all, not even Xiliang Ma Teng."

"Although I don't have a bed crossbow, I do know the formula and production method of the bed crossbow." Chen Gong said.

"What? You have the formula and production method of the bed crossbow in your hands?" Liu Bei said in shock.

Chen Gong smiled and said: "Yes, my lord."

"Take it out quickly and show it to me." Liu Bei said excitedly.

The bed crossbow is a weapon for siege. If he can get the formula and production method, his army can increase its combat effectiveness several times in a short period of time, causing huge casualties to the enemy.

Chen Gong took out a drawing and handed it to Liu Bei and said: "My lord, this is the configuration drawing of the bed crossbow, but this configuration drawing is incomplete."

Liu Bei took the configuration drawing and was stunned. This was a big pie for him. (End of chapter)
