Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

() Liu Qi easily dealt with Ma Teng and Xiahou Dun in an understatement.It also made Liu Biao feel at ease.At the same time, please fight and fight against Cao Cao in Nanyang.Liu Biao agreed and will not interfere with Liu Qi.

It has only been three or four months since the war between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and the strength is far from being restored.But Cao Cao didn't feel well either, and reluctantly played.After the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the food and grass had not been restored, and the food and grass of the 20 army were also pieced together.This time, Cao Cao and Liu Qi were really exhausted, and the two sides did not have the ability to annex each other.

Liu Qi's situation is also difficult. Jingzhou's grain and grass have to support Jiangdong, which is even more stretched.Fortunately, Jiaozhou was relatively prosperous after being governed by Shi Xie, and it was not as destructive as Jiangdong.Zhuge Jin hurriedly led [-] troops and came to support him with food and grass from Jiaozhou.

Cao Cao's road is the core of the three roads.As long as Cao Cao can be defeated, the other two parties will retreat if they fail to attack for a long time.On the contrary, if Liu Qi is defeated, the other two groups will take advantage of the situation and step up their attacks.Then Jingzhou is really in danger.

In order to defeat Cao Cao in the first battle, Liu Qi has been preparing since he got the news.Food, grass, ordnance, and soldiers are also ready after a month.

In May of the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's army arrived first and reached Yecheng, Qiaotou Town, Jingzhou.According to Liu Qi's policy, the defense line should be tightened in the first stage.Therefore, there were not many defenders in Yecheng. Seeing Cao Cao's army approaching, they immediately surrendered.

At this time, the 8 army led by Liu Qi also arrived in Wancheng, plus the original Wancheng defenders had about 1 troops.Among them are 5000 soldiers from Li Yan and Huang Xu stationed in Lujiang; 8 Jiaozhou soldiers from Zhuge Jin; [-] cavalry from Zhang Xiu, [-] elephant cavalry from Hu Cheer; A total of [-] people.

Among them, Liu Qi brought all the generals who can fight.Generals Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Wei Yan, Zhuge Jin, Li Yan, Huang Zu, Huo Jun; Deputy Generals Liu Pan, Hu Che'er, Su Fei, Xu Sheng, Zhu Ran, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Liao Hua, Liu Pi, etc.Follow Liu Qi to fight against Cao Cao.

Liu Qi, the general who conquered the south, was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Pang Tong, the governor of Jingzhou, was the deputy commander. Hong is a counselor.Zhao Lei, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass. The Minister ordered Kuai Liang to stay in Xiangyang to supervise the rear matters, and Zhongshu ordered Liu Xian to be responsible for assisting.Veteran Wang Wei led five thousand troops to guard Xiangyang strictly to prevent fire in the rear.

Cao Cao's vanguard, Xu Chu and Gao Lan, even reached Bowang City.Xu Chu was eager for revenge. Several years ago when Liu Qi repelled Cao Cao, Xu Chu hid his hatred, and today he was finally able to defeat Liu Qi in a single battle.Raise my eyebrows and exhale to vent the hatred in my heart.Xu Churu thought that anyone who dares to oppose my lord will die.If you see the lord leading an army of 30, breaking through Jingzhou is as easy as crushing an ant to death.

Xu Chu led a vanguard army of [-] to discuss with his lieutenant general Li Tong. It was Xu Chu's decision to capture Bowang before Cao Cao arrived.Li Tong's objection was invalid, but was overruled by Xu Chu.

"If you see the Lord's hectares of soldiers and horses, there are thousands of generals. Now the first meritorious service is in front of you. If you don't go, when I take Bowang, you can't compete with me in front of the Lord." Xu Chu He said with a dissatisfied face, he is not a fool, Bowang garrison only has 2000 people, that small town can be destroyed in a day with [-] elites.

Li Tong was helpless, and even more afraid that Xu Chu would make a mistake.If Cao Cao, the confidant in front of the account, is dissatisfied, it will be difficult to be a man in the future.I had no choice but to go with Xu Chu.At this time Xu Chu smiled like a child, and then turned his anger into joy.

Bowang is the only way to Nanyang Wancheng.However, due to the small size of the city, few people are stationed here.Liu Qi did the opposite and stationed [-] troops here in order to resist Cao Cao for a while and prepare for Liu Qi's integration of troops in the rear.

Bowang City.

However, it is indeed troublesome to defend a city that is two battles high.The guard Huo Jun is not well-known among the generals in Jingzhou, so Xu Chu is not afraid of him.But Xu Chu did hit a hard nail.

Cao Cao's army is still three days away from here.So Xu Chu had plenty of time, and the five thousand pioneers took a short rest, and then carried the siege ladder that had just been erected, and started the siege battle with the sound of heavy horns.

"Archers get ready." Seeing that Xu Chujun was gradually entering the shooting process, Huo Jun drew his sword and signaled.

Three hundred steps.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred steps.

Ninety steps.

Fifty steps.

In fact, the Jingzhou standard bow and arrow is one stone, and the shooting distance is 120 steps; the Liannu invented by Zhuge Liang is [-] steps.However, in Huo Jun's experience, only when the enemy has entered fifty steps, the power of the rain of arrows at this time can penetrate the leather armor and kill the enemy.So at this time, Huo Jun shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired, and arrows rained down from the sky like drizzle, but it was not rain but deadly arrows.Xu Chujun fell down one piece after another.

Seeing this, Xu Chu shouted: "Come on, as long as you can climb the city wall, archers are useless." He beat the drums himself to cheer.Xu Chu's soldiers charged against the city wall desperately.There are only fifty steps. According to the usual practice, the defenders can shoot twice at most. Xu Chu's soldiers and horses are all veterans and very experienced.

But this time they were destined to be disappointed.Facing them were not only three hundred archers, but also three hundred crossbowmen.When he was with Liu Qi, Zhuge Liang made a continuous crossbow called Yuanrong Crossbow, which can fire ten arrows at a time, and the firepower is very strong. By firing ten iron crossbow arrows with a length of eight inches at a time, the damage of the strong crossbow is improved. It is effective, but it also has the disadvantage of large size and weight, which cannot be used by individual soldiers. It is mainly used to defend cities and camps.Later, it was widely produced by Liu Qi, and Huo Jun brought [-] of them.When attacking Jiangdong, most of them were field battles, or they were not used by the siege side, so they are not known.It was used today, but Xu Chujun, who was the target, didn't feel so good.

Fifty short steps, a distance that can be reached in three breaths, has now become Xu Chujun's road to death.Fifty steps, three waves of bow and arrow rain, and ten waves of crossbow arrow rain, Xu Chujun who 'falled' suffered countless casualties.About four thousand arrows were fired in just three breaths.Xu Chu's [-] vanguard troops were depleted when they reached the city wall.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Chu's eyes cracked, and he said angrily: "How dare you be a thief?" He had already lost one-tenth of his troops before they could reach the city wall.You know, this is a small city without a moat.It doesn't take human life to fill the river.

Afterwards, Xu Chuzhong's army rushed to see such casualties, but they were a little palpitated and not too disturbed. This is the advantage of being an elite in all battles.If the recruits had seen such a tragic situation, they would have turned around and fled away.
