Chapter 471 Suicide
While Liu Xie was talking to Jia Xu, Han Shaoying, Lu Xiaohuan and the hundred female knights under their leadership couldn't resist the onslaught of the student knights and began to break through.

At the same time, the knights who were killed according to the rules withdrew from the battlefield, watching with regret.The student knight who shot too hard just now was busy asking the female knights to accompany him, but the female knights ignored them and walked away.

Judging from the number of people alone, the casualties of the female knight were a bit high, with a loss of nearly [-]%, which was not far from the standard of losing.Jiang Jiong, the commander of the student knights, also realized this, and ordered his subordinates to chase after him fiercely, striving for the final victory.

The horn sounded, and the student knights chased after him.

But the pursuit was not smooth. The female knights rode their horses and ran away while turning around and shooting. Although the chasing student knights also shot with bows and arrows, the speed difference between the two sides caused them trouble, and the casualties continued to increase.

Realizing the danger, Jiang Jiong ordered the knights to separate and outflank the two areas. The left wing was relatively small, only one-third of the remaining troops, and the remaining two-thirds were deployed on the right wing.

No matter whether it is bow and arrow or crossbow shooting, the right rear is a dead angle, no matter how soft the waist of the female knight is, it is difficult to turn her body to that angle.But for the pursuers, this is the most favorable position to play.

There is no such problem with crossbow shooting, but the female knight's arm strength is limited, and holding it with one hand cannot guarantee the hit rate.Once the hit rate drops, the disadvantage of slow crossbow shooting speed will be magnified.

Jiang Jiong obviously made careful preparations, carefully analyzed the pros and cons of both sides' martial arts, and planned to win with one blow.

Jiang Jiong felt that he had the winning ticket, so he glanced at Ma Yunlu proudly, but found that the corners of Ma Yunlu's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

Jiang Jiong's heart tightened, with an ominous premonition.He had seen Ma Yunlu's smile before, usually when he delivered a fatal blow.

He turned his head to look at the battlefield, but saw Han Shaoying and Lu Xiaohuan taking the lead, leaping forward with their spears, and pounced on the knight on the left flank.The number of student knights was limited, and they were caught off guard, and the casualties instantly exceeded the penalty standard.

Compared with crossbows, spears do double the damage.Especially with spears, if you stab the chest and abdomen, you will be killed in battle.

"Beauty!" Liu Xie could see clearly and couldn't help cheering loudly.

Ma Yunlu at the foot of the hill could hear clearly, turned around and stroked his chest, and saluted Liu Xie.

Liu Xie raised his thumb and shook it.

"Playing hard to get, luring the enemy to divide up, and then delivering a fatal blow, this tactic is indeed good." Liu Xie said.

"Women are weak, and many people will have the heart to underestimate the enemy. Using this mentality to induce the opponent to make mistakes is a feasible method, especially for opponents who meet for the first time."

"What if the other party is fully prepared and not fooled?"

Jia Xu raised her chin. "Your Majesty, please see that the horses of these female knights are strong and good horses, but their weight is much lighter than that of men. Even if the opponent is not caught, as long as you have enough patience and control the rhythm, it will be difficult for the opponent to catch up." If you go to them, you will only be shot and killed by crossbows."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "It seems that both parties are very attentive."

"Only by using your heart can you maximize your strengths and circumvent weaknesses, and strive for victory." Jia Xu said, "I heard that Yunlu intends to offer a huge reward, hoping to build a crossbow that has a long range but is light enough to be held with one hand."

Liu Xie nodded. "Technological progress is the best way to solve women's lack of physical fitness. Not only can we work hard on crossbows, but also armor and weapons can be improved."

Jia Xu deeply agrees.

Lu Bu, who served as the referee, announced the result.The female knights rejoiced, talking and laughing around Ma Yunlu.Jiang Jiong was a little frustrated, his well-designed tactics turned into flaws, which really hurt his self-esteem.

A knight rode his horse past the battlefield, came to the foot of the hill, ran to Liu Xie, and presented the document he had just received.Liu Xie glanced at the label on the outside and found that it was a military newspaper sent by Xun You, so he couldn't help exchanging glances with Jia Xu.

Xun You went to war again before the previous military exploits were rewarded?

After checking the seal, he opened the document, and first saw a map, with large circles within small circles, overlapping, which seemed familiar.After thinking about it, he vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the legendary ten-fold city of Atlantis.

After reading a few lines of documents, Liu Xie realized that this was not a ten-fold city, but Gongsun Zan's Yi Jing.

Liu Xie's first reaction was that he was very surprised. Yi Jing was very famous, but it was the first time he saw what it looked like.

The second reaction is that this kind of fortress is extremely difficult to conquer. No wonder Yuan Shao in history wasted so much time, watching Cao Cao grow up.

The third reaction is how to complete this amount of work. Does Youzhou have such a large population?
After he finished reading Xun You's papers, he knew the answer to the question, and he was immediately angry, sweeping away the little favor he had for Gongsun Zan.

It turned out that the bones of tens of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turban captives were piled up.

Gongsun Zan's defeat was really his own fault.He is too cruel, and there is no possibility of correction.Although his starting point was not low, he failed quickly, far inferior to his classmate Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei had a starting point like Gongsun Zan, he might not have to waste most of his life before finally gaining a firm foothold in Yizhou.

Liu Xie glanced at Zhao Yun at the foot of the hill, and somewhat understood why Zhao Yun would rather choose Liu Bei, and even join Yuan Shao again, rather than follow Gongsun Zan.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that Gongsun Zan cannot have the last laugh.

"Liu He refuses to draw a clear line with Yuan Shao, I'm afraid he still has illusions." Liu Xie handed Xun You's military report to Jia Xu, and said softly. "It's really strange to say that the clan's loyalty to the big man is not as good as that of other people."

"This dynasty suppresses the clan too much. It is not uncommon for eunuchs to frame the clan. It is indeed difficult to make the clan loyal. As for Liu He himself, it may not be disloyal. He should be tired of the obsession with revenge. by yourself."

General Jia Xu put away the newspaper and handed it to Cai Yan who was beside him. "Xun You doesn't have enough infantry to conquer Yi Jing, and needs to contain Yuan Shao from other directions."

Liu Xie was silent.

He understood Xun You's intentions, but he didn't feel that now was the time to restrain Yuan Shao.Judging from Yi Jing's layout, it is difficult for Yuan Shao to win easily.Furthermore, he didn't have to react before the Youzhou people expressed their attitude.

Yuan Shao was able to lead the main force to go north, so it was impossible not to be prepared.The troops in Shangdang and Taiyuan are limited, they have more than enough self-preservation, and they are not enough to attack. Even if they send troops, they will only harass and have no real meaning.

Unless Han Sui is ordered to leave the customs.

This is planned, but not yet, the time is not yet ripe.

"Wait a little longer." Liu Xie said: "It took Yuan Shao a year to attack Dongwuyang, and I'm afraid it will be slower to attack Yijing. If the people of Youzhou break with him, it will be a question of whether he can conquer Yijing. At this opportunity, it is justified to make an emergency landing in Wuhuan and Xianbei in the east, and clip their wings."
