The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Taishou nodded. He was still very relieved about Liu Rui, so he explained his purpose: "I have recruited a thousand or two thousand people in and outside the city these days. If given a certain amount of time, can I go to the battlefield if I want to come?"

"Oh? Who are these people?"

Liu Rui asked.

"The nursing homes of some refugees and wealthy businessmen, as well as petty criminals in custody." Chen Taishou said.

Someone is a good thing, but what can these people do with them, Liu Rui was speechless and was about to refuse, but Zhuge Liang, who was on the side, said, "Liang has a word."

"Come on." Liu Rui said quickly.

When Chen Taishou saw this, he knew that this person was the think tank of Liu Rui's army, and immediately signaled the latter to continue.

Shaking the feather fan, Zhuge Liang slowly took out an object, which was the remodeled hand crossbow, that is, the Zhuge crossbow.

In an instant, I understood what Zhuge Liang meant. This Zhuge Crossbow is highly accurate and easy to operate. It only takes a few days of training for these recruits to get started.

Chen Taishou naturally didn't know what this Zhuge crossbow was. He just thought it was just an ordinary hand crossbow. After Liu Rui explained it, he suddenly realized, and then he was overjoyed: "Then we can recruit more people."

Looking at Zhuge Liang, Liu Rui nodded slowly, as long as he could defend the city, the more people the better.

"Kong Ming, if the money donated by those wealthy merchants is still left, they will use all their strength to build hand crossbows and crossbow arrows, so be prepared." Liu Rui first commanded Zhuge Liang, and then said to Prefect Chen, "Sir, why don't you have a cup at my house? liquor?"

Zhuge Liang went down to work, and Chen Taishou himself was too busy. He had almost done the work of appeasing people's hearts, so he readily accepted it.

When the two arrived at Liu Rui's house, the food and wine were served, but they could not do without the city defense and war. After all, since the Qin army was attacking the city, it would naturally not send too few troops. As Huaicheng's parental officer and the highest military commander , was very nervous about the arrival of the Qin army.

At this time, the city defense is still being strengthened step by step, but Qin State has made some moves. . ,,.

1118: Qin Jun comes to commit

The next day, Liu Rui and Yue'er had breakfast and went to the military camp.

The swordsmen team that Genie had trained had already been completely run-in, just waiting to be dispatched to the battlefield. While marveling at the efficiency of Genie, he also admired it a little.

Zhuge crossbows have been sent to the new recruits. After some inspections, there is no major problem. At least these people will use crossbows. As for accuracy, even if they shoot randomly, they can always kill a few people, right?

As soon as he walked to Li Guang's side, he was about to exchange a few words when he heard a messenger hurriedly say: "General! The Qin army scout was found outside the city!"

"What?!" Liu Rui and Li Guang were both surprised, Liu Rui said, "Call the prefect, the military division and the others to the shogunate!"

"promise!"

Everyone gathered in the shogunate, and all of them looked heavy. Liu Rui took the lead: "The news is true, it is indeed a team of Qin army scouts, there should be about ten people."

"The Qin army has obviously dispatched a large army. According to the time when the scouts were discovered and the distance between the scouts and the vanguard, the main force of the Qin army will arrive within an hour." Liu Rui continued.

Chen Taishou's face was a little ugly, but he still said: "This battle is inevitable, what should General Liu do?"

Liu Rui glanced at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, shouldn't we take advantage of the fact that the Qin army's main force and vanguard have not yet arrived, to raid its vanguard?"

Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang, he considered it for a while, and shook his head: "No, if this is the case, although the Qin army's vanguard can be severely damaged, its main force is still there, and the city's defenses and the people's emotions are not well prepared, I'm afraid the gain will outweigh the loss. "

Seeing that everyone nodded in approval, Liu Rui made a decisive decision: "Let the soldiers prepare for the battle and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"promise!"

The trumpets and drums suddenly rang out inside and outside Huaicheng, and the people also knew what was going on. All of them retreated into their homes and closed their doors. Some of the brave ones came out to find out what happened.

The soldiers stood on the tower, a gust of wind blew, and a chilling breath permeated the whole city.

Liu Rui stood on the tower, followed by a group of generals and advisors, and fifty black-winged personal soldiers surrounded them like stars and moons.

"Report-"

As soon as the scout's voice sounded, Liu Rui said coldly, "Read!"

When the scout saw Liu Rui, there was a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes: "General, the Qin Kingdom has a total of [-] troops this time, and they have already camped [-] miles outside the city!"

"Is the scout team damaged?" Liu Rui nodded and continued to ask.

The scout warmed his heart, but he didn't expect the general to still think about the lives of the soldiers at such an important juncture, and immediately said with anger: "Eighteen casualties, but their scouts were also killed by us more than a dozen people!"

"Well done!" Liu Rui praised and continued, "It's hard work, go down and rest."

The scout shook his head: "General, the scout team hopes to go to the enemy together!"

Sighing, Liu Rui nodded, his voice heavy: "Yes!"

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden crowd of people outside the city, black shadows covered the ground, and the black armor shone through the cold light in the sun.

Qin people are still black, and even the military flag is dark black, giving people a visual impact.

Looking at Qin Ruishi, who ranks among the top three in history, Liu Rui's face turned cold: "Send the order, prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy—"

"Prepare to meet the enemy—"

The voices of the orders were heard one after another on the tower, and the soldiers held their breaths and looked at the Qin army under the tower. At this time, some people really felt scared, and what they were about to face was the terrifying Qin Ruishi.

Gai Nie walked up to the city tower and looked at the crowded Qin army. He felt a rush of pride in his chest: "General, look at the banner of the Qin army!"

Hearing this, Liu Rui moved his gaze to the banner of the army, and in the vagueness, he saw the big script "Meng" written on it. Seeing this, Liu Rui's heart was also extremely shocked. Could it be Lu Buwei's number one general? One of the four pillars, General Mengwu?

Speaking of Meng Wu, perhaps not many people know about it, but his son is like thunder, that is, Meng Tian who repulsed the Huns and was framed by Zhao Gao.

Although Meng Wu was Lu Buwei's minion, his ability should not be underestimated. Later, after the king of Qin ruled, Meng Wu made a great contribution in sweeping Liuhe.
