Adou who can afford it

Seventy catapults began to coil their winches at the sound of an order, until the lever arm was level with the waist of the soldier who placed the barrel.

After the soldier placed the barrel, which weighed about twenty pounds, into the sac, the captain in charge of the trebuchet, shouted, "Ready." "

Seventy catapults were ready, the gong sounded, and next to each trebuchet, a soldier with a large mallet, brandished the mallet and smashed the latch down, the winch was instantly loosened, and the rope contracted and twitched to make a sound of breaking through the air.

Hearing the piercing sound of breaking the air, Cao Ren and Niu Jin hurriedly hid their heads behind the female wall.

Several decomposing corpses fell on the racetrack on the city wall, and became a piece of mud, and the splashed minced flesh covered a radius of two or three feet, and the faces of the few soldiers who had been hiding were splashed on their bodies by the minced flesh and the foul-smelling viscous liquid.

There was also an unlucky ghost who was stuck to his face with some minced meat of unknown parts, and the soldier was horrified to peel off the rotten flesh on his face, and spit it out directly on the ground.

These corpses include animal corpses and human corpses, among which human corpses are the majority, these corpses are the corpses of Cao Jun who were transported from Dangyang, and there are also Cao Jun who died in battle who were buried in the ground because they need to be dug out of the soil.

Most of the animal carcasses were hunted beasts, most of which were crocodiles, dolphins, hippos and other large, medium and small animals shot by Japanese soldiers from the river in the two days.

Pulling corpses is a thing that cannot be put on the table, but in this world, Cao Cao, who eats human flesh and makes dried meat, is 'Zhuyu in front', Liu Bei is kind enough to return the corpses of Cao Jun's brothers who died in battle to them, which is better than Cao Cao, right?

There are no pure good people in this era, Liu Bei Rende also depends on what kind of benevolence and virtue law, if he is benevolent to the enemy, then Liu Bei will die in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Just as Song Xianggong couldn't gain a foothold in troubled times, Liu Bei has a reputation for benevolence, but he can gain a foothold in this troubled times, and finally divide the world, and he is also far more ruthless and vicious than ordinary people.

There is no doubt about this, and it is not to slander Liu Bei, as a hero, Liu Bei has done many things, but this does not affect Liu Bei's reputation and his glory in history.

"The big-eared thief is hateful, and this thief is so scheming that he actually came up with such a method to disgust us. Cao Ren said angrily.

With a loud "bang", the sealed wooden barrel was thrown onto the city wall, landing a foot away from Cao Ren and Niu Jin, and the wooden barrel exploded instantly, and the feces and urine in the wooden barrel were scattered everywhere.

Cao Ren and Niu Jin were stunned, Cao Ren wiped the feces off his face, Niu Jin spat vigorously, and just as he was about to speak, the wooden barrel exploded.

The armor of the two men was also covered with a lot of feces, and some liquid was dripping from the armor.

"I swear to kill the big-eared thief!" Cao Ren's angry roar spread out to Xu Yuan.

However, Liu Bei under the city wall did not hear Cao Ren's roar that almost penetrated the sky.

Liu Bei was wearing armor and riding on the white Lu, in his arms, sitting on the horse was Liu Chan, Guan Ping and Deng Ai were on the left and right, and behind were the knights with white feathers on the left side of the helmet, there were about two hundred people, all wearing iron armor, all of them were mighty and heroic.

"Let the other soldiers step back ten feet, and any soldier involved in carrying and projectile will be quarantined for three days. Liu Chan reminded Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded, and a knight immediately conveyed the order to Zhang Fei, the former army commander.

The front line of the army of 4,000 people changed to the rear team, turned around and walked forward in a neat manner, stopped, and then turned around again to face Gangneung City.

"The effect may be good, Dad, what we have to guard against is that Cao Ren sent cavalry out to destroy the catapult. Liu Chan said with satisfaction.

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Guan Ping, then at Deng Ai, and asked, "If you defend the city, what should you do in such a situation?"

"Ignore this catapult, attack our phalanx with cavalry, and then cover up and kill the infantry soldiers, and the army formation of 4,000 infantry soldiers will definitely be scattered." Naturally, this catapult was ineffective, and our army was crushed and failed to capture Gangneung. This is Guan Ping's answer, with a full desire to attack.

"With cavalry mobility, destroy catapults, and then continue to hold the city, fight a war of attrition with our army, drag us down, and let us retreat without a fight. This was Deng Ai's answer, stammering, and it took a lot of time, but Liu Bei listened very carefully, did not interrupt or show impatience.

"Both methods can be done theoretically, and once they are done, our army will definitely be defeated. Then you two will talk about it, if Cao Ren does what you say, how will our army break the situation?" Liu Bei continued to ask.

These two juniors are all Puyu in Liu Bei's eyes, especially Deng Ai. Liu Bei and Deng Ai have had a conversation for a while, and after most of their lives, Liu Bei, who has seen most of the heroes in the world, feels that Deng Ai is a piece of jade and a material that can be made.

Not to mention Guan Ping, he is talented, and he grew up in the army since he was a child, and he has already experienced a lot of battles when he is more than ten years old.

The two fell silent, and Liu Bei quietly waited for the two to answer this question.

It was still Guan Ping who replied first: "If the enemy cavalry comes out, the formation shrinks, the forward is firm, and the archers in the rear send their bows with all their strength to frustrate the sharpness of their cavalry, and there is no threat after a wave of cavalry charges, and then break the enemy's foot soldiers." "

It's decent, if you want to win, it's all up to our soldiers to dare to serve their lives." Liu Bei commented.

Guan Ping bowed his head and was silent, Liu Bei's current military strength is weaker than Cao's army, the most important of which is that there is no cavalry, and the cavalry in the city is at least 3,000 people.

If the 3,000 cavalry rushed out at the same time, Liu Bei's 4,000-strong lineup was likely to be scattered in one wave, and then it would be reduced to a situation of being slaughtered.

Liu Bei looked at Deng Ai, and Deng Ai stammered: "The cavalry is out, the foot soldiers are retreating, and the archers are shooting at the back."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "If our army has the ability to shoot the enemy cavalry with archers while retreating, then in Guan Ping's words, our soldiers are enough to resist the cavalry with foot soldiers."

Deng Ai also lowered his head in shame.

The catapults continued ahead, but no cavalry had appeared in the city to destroy them.

Liu Bei said to the two: "You can't say why, this is normal." Guan Ping, you follow Yun Chang left and right, and like to attack, this is because the troops led by Yun Chang are all elite, and in the ten months of the North Dao, they constantly attacked the Cao army, and often won. The bravery of the soldiers and the longevity of the clouds will lead to high morale, so there is no way to go against it. Then you feel in your heart that offense is the most effective means of warfare.

"And Deng Ai, you haven't really participated in the wars you have experienced, right? A person who has not experienced wars, relying only on what you have learned in the war books, let you play in battle to defeat the enemy, you can't do it.

"From ancient times to the present, the existence of the enemy who can defeat the enemy without experiencing war has never been seen in history.

With Liu Bei's comfort, the two did not have the previous frustration, Guan Ping asked: "Uncle, what will Cao Ren do in the face of such a scene?"

"I won't do anything." Liu Chan replied casually.

Liu Bei glanced down at Liu Chan and agreed: "Cao Ren really won't do anything.

Guan Ping was surprised: "Why? We are attacking

the city, and Cao Ren is just letting us attack?" Liu Chan explained: "Our attack is not a threat to Cao Ren at all, it must be to smash a few unlucky ghosts to death, and this can only disgust Cao Ren, although Cao Ren will be extremely angry, but he is a battlefield general, and he will not send soldiers out of the city to fight with us because we are angry with such methods." Sending cavalry out, the casualties will be greater, and Cao Ren will feel that the gains outweigh the losses. So Cao Ren won't do anything, he will only scold us angrily in the city.

Guan Ping and Deng Ai both suddenly realized, and Liu Chan continued: "Otherwise, we wouldn't have only brought four thousand people to line up outside the city. Moreover, 4,000 people are placed here, Cao Ren may still feel that we are cheating, and deliberately use disgusting means to provoke him out of the city for a decisive battle, if he thinks like this, he will not send people out of the city. "

But we're creating a plague," Deng Ai said.

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Cao Ren will know that letting these corpses stay in the city will cause diseases and bury people, but there are nearly 20,000 people in the city, and there are countless injuries, and the sanitary conditions are extremely poor, and the corpses and feces we threw into the city are just a fuse, so that the possibility of causing a plague in the city is extremely great." "

What's the fuse?" Guan Ping asked.

"Fire folds. Cao

Ren was extremely angry, he was splashed with feces, he hurried down the city under the cover of his personal guards, and Cao Ren was almost smashed several times on the way down from the city tower, but he was lucky to dodge, but it was inevitable that his body was splashed with some disgusting liquid.

Back at his residence, Cao Ren asked the soldiers to fetch cold water from the well, and poured several buckets of water on himself before he felt that his body was not so smelly.

Niu Jin came in a hurry, Cao Ren looked at the dirty things that were still stained on Niu Jin's body, and hurriedly said, "Stand aside and stay away from me." "

Fetch water, and give me a shower, too." Niu Jin said to the soldier next to him.

Cao Ren took a few steps back, he didn't want to be splashed by the water poured on Niu Jin's body.

Niu Jin looked angry: "General, let the last general lead 3,000 horsemen out of the city, and the big-eared thieves who can definitely kill will not be able to defeat the army." A

bucket of cold water poured down from Niu Jin's head did not extinguish Niu Jin's anger.

Cao Ren was doused with a few buckets of cold water, but he calmed down a lot: "No, the big-eared thief is cheating again, he used such a means to lure us out of the city, there must be an ambush."

"Ambush? We can see outside Gangneung City, but there is no ambush.

Cao Ren thought: "Then why did Liu Bei only take 4,000 people to fight, and the thunderbolt cart did not throw stones, but threw such disgusting things?"

Niu Jin pondered: "Could it be that Liu Bei also has cavalry? He wants to lure our cavalry out, thus swallowing our 3,000 cavalry?"

The more the two of them thought about it, the more likely this became, so Niu Jin also extinguished the idea of going out of the city to fight.
