Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 529
The reason why Hua Tuo joined the army this time was, firstly, to supervise and know the newly recruited disciples to serve as army doctors, and secondly, to review Chen Deng and treat the parasitic diseases in his body, because Hua Tuo could not think of a way to eradicate them so far, so he could only try his best to alleviate them. .

Yuan Xi was very interested when he heard Hua Tuo talking about healing Liu Xun's family and said, "Is there anything else?"

"The illness that can be cured by sir doesn't seem to be a minor illness, right?"

Hua Tuo stroked his beard and said happily: "It's really troublesome. It's the girl's leg disease. Her knees have been sore for seven or eight years, and the pain is unbearable, so the girl didn't get married even when she was only seventeen or eighteen years old."

"I spent a lot of effort to cure it, but the girl is old and has missed the best age to get married."

"I heard that she later married a petty official in Lujiang County, and that family was not very kind to her."

Yuan Xi thought of Cai Zhaoji's previous experience in the Wei family and couldn't help but sigh, "When a woman marries, she obeys her husband, and the husband is filial and respectful to his mother. If there is a problem in any of the three aspects, it will be difficult to end. This has been a problem for thousands of years."

Sun Li said: "I think this kind of person is still a minority. My wife said that my mother is very good!"

Jushu next to him chuckled, "Your kid is only at home for only a few days all year round. How do you know what happened when you were away?"

"Even if there are some minor disagreements occasionally, it is a family scandal that should not be spread outside the family. Things like Miss Liu Xun must have made a big fuss before it was spread."

Sun Li was stunned: "Is what you said sir true?"

"My mother and my wife really had a fight?"

When he saw the narrow gazes of everyone, he realized that he had been deceived by Jushou. He rubbed his head angrily and said, "Sir, you are kidding me!"

Jushu laughed and said: "Who told you that you don't read military books and are so easily deceived? Do you really want to be the prince's guard all your life?"

Sun Li muttered: "What's wrong? Doesn't Cao Cao also have a guard named Dian Wei? Sooner or later, I will have to compete with him!"

Taishi Ci smiled and said, "First you can lift an eighty-pound stone lock dozens of times a day."

Sun Li's face fell instantly, everyone laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.

Everyone talked again and didn't pay attention to Liu Xun's trivial matters. After all, the top priority now was how to attack Liyang.

Days and nights passed, and the fleet had already sailed dozens of miles away from Liyang Pier. Yuan Xi ordered people to slow down the ship, and the fleet stopped on the river.

The previous Sun Ce fleet was in a hurry than Yuan Xi's side, and kept moving forward with full sail. At this time, it had already far surpassed Yuan Xi's fleet and disappeared.

However, in Lu Xun's opinion, this was actually the best. When Sun Ce's fleet passed by the Liyang River, it must have caused quite a shock to the city's defenders, who might have temporarily deployed their defenses.

Regardless of the fact that they should soon discover that Sun Ce's fleet is not targeting Liyang, there will be a period of relaxation after Sun Ce's fleet passes by. This is the opportunity Yuan Xijun is waiting for.

The moon was high in the sky, and the fleet took advantage of the darkness and slowly drifted towards the Liyang City Pier. Although it was slow, it had drifted for more than ten miles in two hours. If it had gone a few more miles, I was afraid that it would be caught. The defenders at the top of the city discovered it.

But Liu Beijun, who was previously agreed upon, has not appeared in Yuan Xi's telescope.

Yuan Xi's battle plan is actually not complicated. Liu Bei will go by land and Yuan Xi will go by water. The two of them calculated the time, Liu Bei will go first, Yuan Xi's fleet will follow, and then they will meet outside Liyang City.

But this is only an ideal situation. In reality, there will be countless variables, such as being discovered by the enemy in advance, such as being delayed in marching and getting lost, or even encountering unexpected enemies.

Yuan Xi's journey was smooth, but what about Liu Bei?
You must know that the probability of encountering the enemy on land is many times greater than that on water!
Yuan Xi hesitated whether to drop anchor, but Tai Shici said: "How about we dock first and put down the cavalry?"

"If Liu Yuzhou has not arrived, I will lead the cavalry to pretend to attack the city to attract the enemy's attention, so that you can seize the opportunity to break into the dock."

Yuan Xi thought about it, and now it seems that this is the only way to do it.

It was agreed that the latest time to take action was Chou hour, otherwise Yuan Xi's fleet would be discovered at dawn, and the Liyang defenders would strengthen their defense. By then, Yuan Xi might have to spend several times the price to attack the city.

However, the cost of cavalry siege and harassment is also high. Now these hundreds of cavalry are the key to determining the outcome of the battlefield. If they were all sent here
Yuan Xi looked at the time, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Wait a little longer."

Time passed little by little, and everyone stared at the timepiece, trying not to look at Yuan Xi to avoid adding pressure to him.

Yuan Xi looked up and watched the moon slowly making a round track in the sky. He knew that he could not delay it any longer. He turned around and was about to speak to everyone when he saw a firework rising straight up in the north of Liyang City and exploding in the night sky. open.Yuan Xi was overjoyed and shouted: "Set the sails and attack Liyang Pier at full speed!"

Hundreds of warships pulled their sails together, speeding up suddenly, and like hungry wolves, they rushed towards the dock south of Liyang City!

At this time, the city of Liyang was already in panic. In the Black Mountain, they didn't know how many enemies were attacking from the north gate, but the attack from the opposite side was extremely fierce, and they swarmed under the city gate!

The defenders at the top of the city couldn't see clearly the people below, so they just tried their best to fire arrows at the bottom of the city. However, the enemy appeared to be well prepared. The skinned flat cars blocked the surroundings of the city gate tightly, and then poured kerosene on the center of the city gate. , the flames burned.

The wood of the city gate was burned soft, and a huge unknown iron tool was hammering the city gate violently. The Liyang city defenders behind the gate were horrified to find that what seemed to be a huge circular saw on the opposite side was rotating and cutting the city gate. The door latch kept making harsh sounds!

The city of Liyang was originally not large in size, and it was located behind Yuan Shu. Across the river was still Sun Ce, a subordinate of Yuan Shu's army, so the defense was not as tight as the big city on the front line. Now that there was a surprise attack, the soldiers inside the city gate were all panicked. On the one hand, they desperately found something to block the opening of the city gate, and on the other hand, they sent people to ask for help.

The city guard Wan Yan immediately mobilized soldiers from the east and west gates for reinforcements, and at the same time urgently sent a message to the city guard Liu Xiang.

Under Yuan Shu, there are dozens of descendants of the clan surnamed Liu who serve him, ranging from celebrities to generals. There are famous scholars Liu Xun and Liu Ye, and there are also unknown people like Liu Xiang. But even Liu Xiang, among the clan surnamed Liu, His position is even higher than that of Liu Bei.

This is also the confidence that Yuan Shu dares to stand on his own. After all, there are almost no scholars in the world who do not believe in prophecies, and many alchemists and witches believe that the prophecy that the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao was fulfilled in Yuan Shu, so many noble families in the world have joined him. Yuan Shu.

Wan Yan felt relieved when he saw the soldiers in the city gradually coming to reinforce him. He took advantage of the darkness to attack the city. They did not attack the city but only attacked the city gate. This meant that the number of troops must not be large. Even if the city gate was broken, it did not matter. As long as the gate was guarded, If you hold on until dawn, the other side will definitely return without success!

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu stood behind the saw truck outside the city. They saw the soldiers pulling the thick hemp rope together, driving the huge sawtooth disc through which the hemp rope passed through to rotate rapidly back and forth, sawing the wooden door that had been burnt black and brittle little by little. open.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but said angrily: "That boy from Youzhou thinks about some crooked things all day long!"

Guan Yu said solemnly: "As long as it works, the speed of breaking the door is many times faster. When the city gate opens, you and I will lead the people in immediately."

Zhang Fei raised his snake spear, which was eight feet long, and shouted: "Okay! My spear is already hungry and thirsty!"

Wan Yan saw the circular saws below the city cutting through the two-foot-thick latch of the city gate bit by bit, and quickly ordered the soldiers to set up a formation at the door. But at this moment, several loud noises were heard in the distance.

He immediately turned his head in surprise. That was the direction of the South Gate Pier!

Not long after, a spy rushed over and shouted to him: "General, many ships have arrived at the South Gate Pier, and countless soldiers have disembarked from the ships. They have occupied the pier and are attacking the South Gate!"

Yuan Xi looked at the ships transporting baggage and pushed carts of siege equipment, thinking that this was the time to test his idea.

Although he has not found a skilled craftsman like Ma Jun yet, under the series of measures to reward craftsmen, the craftsmen in Youzhou and Xuzhou burst out with great enthusiasm, and actively tried their best to realize various ideas proposed by Yuan Xi.

Liu Beijun used a saw truck designed by Yuan Xi. Although it still had many shortcomings, under the new steel-filled forging method, its strength was quite good. With the help of pulley power, it could exert considerable effect on wooden city gates. Great destructive power.

At this time, Yuan Xijun also pushed out the saw cart and other objects and violently attacked the city gate. The defenders at the south gate saw this and quickly sent people to the city to ask for help.

As a result, after waiting for a while, the gate order of the south gate was sent. There were also people attacking the city from the north. The defenders of the east and west gates were mobilized. Now the south gate can only find a way to block it by itself!

The city gate commander had no choice but to order people to fire arrows at the top of the city in an attempt to delay the opponent's offensive. However, because the car below was well protected, it had little effect.

He stood on the top of the city and ordered the soldiers to release arrows in the dark, but he saw dozens of large lamps being set off below. They were red and bright inside and floated straight to the top of the city, illuminating the top of the city at once.

At this moment, the figure of the city guard, who had been hidden by the night, was exposed. The city gate commander immediately reacted and asked the soldiers to shoot the lights. However, an arrow had been shot from below, but it was five or six positions away from him. I don’t know where I flew to.

The city gate commander was shocked and quickly dodged. As a result, another arrow flew towards him like lightning and hit him right in the face. The city gate commander was killed immediately. His body rolled and fell down the city wall. The defenders at the top of the city were in chaos.

Yuan Xi put down the bow in his hand in embarrassment, endured Lu Lingqi's ridicule, and looked at Taishi Ci, who was holding a big bow and shooting continuously, and thought to himself that he hadn't done much archery in the past few months, and he had regressed so much. Compared with Taishi Ci, He looks like a clown.

After Taishi Ci shot the city gate order to death, he fired out a barrage of bows and arrows, and the defenders at the top of the city were shot to death one after another. In the end, no one dared to stand up.

At this time, the siege sergeant under the city was greatly relieved, and he put on a saw again. Finally, there was a loud noise, and the door latch was cut off.

Yuan Xijun used a scratching hook to open the city gate, and saw hundreds of soldiers behind the city gate. Although they were slightly panicked, they were already in formation.

Gao Shun gave an order, and hundreds of trapped troops rushed in row by row, holding knives in both hands!
