Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 114 Liu Bei's Struggle

I don't know how long it has passed, Liu Bei suddenly opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything, and there were beast-like panting sounds from all around.This frightened Liu Bei, he got up quickly, fumbled around, and shouted, "Second brother, third brother!"

"Brother!" came a low call from the side.

Liu Bei heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be fine with my brother by his side, so he also whispered, "Where are we?"

"Brother, why did you forget, we are in the pit." Zhang Fei's voice came from the darkness.

Liu Bei slapped his forehead and said, "Hey~, I actually forgot that I was trapped by this guy Qin Zijin, what time is it now, and what's going on outside?"

"Should have just arrived at Chen's hour." Guan Yu said in a low voice, "Brother whispered, the yellow turban bandits have already arrived outside."

Liu Bei was taken aback, and when he listened carefully, he could hear dull footsteps coming from all around...

outside.

Woke up at [-] or [-] o'clock in the morning, the sun was already shining, and more than [-] yellow scarf thieves came to Handan again.This time, the Yellow Turbans pushed fifty large torque trebuchets.

The [-] Yellow Turban soldiers were divided into four groups, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, and Guan Hai each took one route to encircle the west, south and north gates of Handan City.And Zhang Jiao personally led the way to besiege the east gate.

"Hi Yo, Hi Yo~." There were another [-] yellow scarf soldiers, some of whom were pushing thousands of carts filled with big stones, and more soldiers were pulling the stones with ropes made of twisted vines.

The Yellow Turban Army collected tens of thousands of tons of stones and spent too much time.

Outside the east gate of Handan, the yellow scarves lined up, and the trebuchets lined up in three rows at the back.With the soldiers dragging stones in place, the number of Yellow Turbans continued to grow, forming an overwhelming advantage over the officials and troops in the city.

Zhang Jiao said proudly, "This time, the ditch can be filled without a single soldier. My place is full of rocks, and a small city like Handan can be submerged in an instant!"

Zhang Guan said from the side: "Today, the leader will definitely break through Handan and win the victory."

Zhang Jiao flicked the dust fly, "Yes, but we still need to be careful, immediately send someone to look around, Qin Zijin is very cunning, beware of his ambush." ​​He pointed at the woods to the north of the catapult position, "Especially that forest ...,"

At this time, in the woods, fifty steps inward, a gap rose in the ground, revealing three pairs of six red eyes.

A pair of eyes are particularly "shy", looking at the yellow turban trebuchet position outside the forest, showing surprise, "Qin Zijin is really good at calculating, the yellow turban thief really put the catapult in this direction."

The other pair of eyes narrowed, "Brother, should we go out now and destroy these catapults?"

The last pair of eyes are copper bell-shaped, and suddenly startled, "Brother, someone is here!"

Peng, the place that rose up closed down.

"Check here carefully to see if there is an ambush by the officers and soldiers!" A Yellow Turban officer led the centurion to the woods where Liu Bei was.

Liu Bei hid in the pit, like a grave robber trapped in a tomb, he could only keep praying, "I can't be found, I can't be found, I can't be found..."

As the sound of trampling continued to come from above his head, Liu Bei was sweating profusely.

After a while, the yellow turban thief shouted from outside, "Report to the captain, I didn't find..."

"Close the team!"

In the pit, Liu Bei heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Qin Zijin did a good job of covering up here, the yellow scarf thief walked back and forth several times, and he didn't step on it..."

"Brother, let's get ready to act!" Guan Yu's voice came from the darkness.

"Okay!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and led his Imperial Association Army into action.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Vote, cast hard for me, haha!" Zhang Jiao looked at the boulders flying into the sky and kept falling into the ditch of Handan City Wall, laughing up and down, "In less than half an hour, the ditch here will be filled. No After half a day, the ditch outside the four gates can be filled."

On the trebuchet position of the Yellow Turban Thieves, fifty trebuchets squeaked and kept making throws. Every time they threw, each trebuchet could throw dozens of catties of stones.The launch distance of the trebuchet is far away, so the officials and troops in the city are unable to stop the Yellow Turban Army from filling the trenches remotely.

Suddenly, a group of Yellow Turban soldiers ran out of the woods to the north of the trebuchet position.

Qu Jiang, who was in charge of the safety of the trebuchet on the Yellow Turban side, saw it and yelled loudly, "Which part do you belong to?"

The yellow turban soldiers who arrived were naturally the troops disguised by the three Liu Bei brothers. Liu Bei slapped his ears and shouted, "We are from the patrol team!"

General Qu put down his vigilance just now, but raised it immediately, his face changed, and he shouted: "No, it's the officers and soldiers, come here, form an formation against the enemy, and kill these officers and soldiers pretending to be our army!"

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Hey~, how did you see that?"

Qu Jiang couldn't help showing contempt, "One of the officers and soldiers has long ears, a big red face, and a leopard head. They are so distinctive. I remember them most clearly! Come on, destroy them!"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a look of annoyance, and said to himself that the three brothers of us are so unique that we are always the focus of attention wherever we go.So, Liu Bei didn't pretend anymore, he swung his double-strand swords wildly with his cloak, and shouted: "Second brother, third brother, charge, charge!"

Guan Yu, what kind of person is Zhang Fei? Although he was discovered, he still broke through the yellow scarf's defense line immediately.Guan Erye Qinglong waved his spring and autumn, and beheaded him when he went up, and everyone rushed into the trebuchet position.

After successfully entering the position, the Yellow Turban Army's rear began to be chaotic. Seeing an opportunity, Liu Bei began to pretend again, shouting, "My own people!" But he destroyed the trebuchets along the way.He couldn't help thinking that Qin Feng always yelled "one of his own" among the enemies because he couldn't help it.

On the other hand, on the east gate of Handan City.

Qin Feng watched as the enemy began to use trebuchets. Although he had some trebuchets, he couldn't drive them outside the city. If he was inside the city, he wouldn't be able to threaten the enemy's trebuchets at all.Although they haven't really fought face to face, the tense atmosphere has already permeated the city.Especially seeing the enemy's stones constantly filling up their own trenches, the hearts of the soldiers and civilians sank to the bottom of the valley.

Whether he can withstand the offensive of the yellow turban thieves now depends on whether Liu Bei can successfully attack the enemy's catapult.

"Why hasn't Liu Xuande started to act yet?" Qin Feng also became anxious.

"Look, my lord, it's out, it's out!" Dian Wei shouted, pointing at the woods next to the enemy's catapult position with sharp eyes.

Qin Feng set up the awning, and saw Liu Bei's ambush appear, and quickly broke through the defense line behind the Yellow Turban side, and entered the enemy's trebuchet position.Immediately afterwards, puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, and each puff of black smoke represented the damage of a trebuchet.

Qin Feng was overjoyed, clapped his hands on the battlements, and said with relief: "Great, Liu Xuande has succeeded!"

Yellow turban side.

Zhang Jiao was furious, "What, there is a sneak attack. Come on, surround the trebuchet position, surround the enemy, kill them all, kill them all!"

Following his order, the [-] Yellow Turban soldiers outside the East Gate who were waiting to charge Handan City began to retreat, forming a fan shape again, encircling Liu Bei's sneak attack.
Qin Feng was on the top of the city, and saw that the yellow scarf bandits quickly entered the third floor, and the outer three floors surrounded the trebuchet positions, but he was still relieved, because he could see clearly that the enemy's last trebuchet appeared Black smoke, apparently also destroyed.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "The enemy's catapults have been completely destroyed, so I have no worries."

Xu Chu Shiwei puffed his waist and reminded: "My lord, the three brothers Liu Bei seem to be surrounded. Shall we go out to rescue them?"

Qin Feng thought about it, and then he looked like he had to make a decision in his heart, and said: "Although I have the heart, but I don't have enough strength... Defending the city is the top priority of our army. Being loyal to the country is indeed our role model!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu also knew the situation on their side, and it was very difficult to defend the city, let alone leave the city.The two watched the circle of yellow scarves surrounding Liu Bei outside the city getting smaller and smaller, and sighed for a while.

In the encirclement of the Yellow Turban, Liu Bei is struggling to survive and die.

"My own people, my own people!" Only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were left beside Liu Bei. As soon as he had an idea, he walked around in the thick fog generated by the burning of the catapult, and whenever he emerged from the fog, he would shout to himself. people.

Often at this time, the Yellow Turban soldiers would be stunned for a moment, and Liu Bei's opportunity came because of this.

However, not long after, the Yellow Turban soldiers started shouting, "Don't be fooled, those with big ears are not our own!"

"The one with the red face is not one of us!"

"The one with the leopard's head and eyes is not one of our own!"

Liu Bei's liver and gallbladder are broken. In the past, he was always proud of his big ears, but now, he can't wait to return to the furnace.Seeing that there was no way to go, he suddenly looked up to the sky and mourned, "Could it be that the sky wants to destroy me, Liu Bei, and die here today!"

Half an hour later, Qin Feng on the top of the city saw the encirclement of the yellow scarf spread out. It seemed that no one ran out, "Could it be that Liu Bei is dead?" Suddenly he really sighed. So dead, my heart suddenly felt empty.

At this time, Zhang Jiao rode his horse and came to the city. He looked dispirited and pointed at the top of the city with the whisk in his hand, and shouted: "Qin Zijin, you are despicable, and sent someone to burn the trebuchet of the leader. If you have the guts, come out with real swords and guns." Let's fight, don't be a coward in the city."

Although Qin Feng didn't want to see Liu Bei, but Liu Bei died in Zhang Jiao's hands like this. The feeling that his lifelong opponent was gone just like that made Qin Feng want to avenge Liu Bei.He put down his nostalgia for the time being, and said with a sneer, "Zhang Jiao, in a few days, my reinforcements will arrive. At that time, we will have equal forces, and Qin will definitely leave the city to fight you to the death!"

Zhang Jiao was startled when he heard the words, only then did he realize that the time left for him was running out.Seeing that the morale of his soldiers was low due to the complete destruction of the trebuchets, today was not a good opportunity to attack with all his strength, and he did not waste time, so he immediately issued an order for the entire army to retreat.

Another half an hour later, the 13 Yellow Turban Army assembled and retreated in an orderly manner.

In the formation, when Zhang Jiao rode his horse back, he said: "There is still time, go back and make the trebuchet as soon as possible. Next time, we must strictly guard it, and don't give Qin Zijin any opportunity to take advantage of it!"

His brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, as well as General Guan Hai, assured him: "Master, don't worry, next time, we must attack the city!"

Zhang Jiao shook the dust and said angrily: "Guan Hai, after entering the city, Qin Zijin must be killed. What else is Cao Mengde? By the way, there is... and Yuan Benchu. In short, kill them all. Keep!"

"The last general takes orders!"

At this point, the Yellow Turban's trebuchet was destroyed by the three Liu Bei brothers, and they were forced to retreat temporarily.

Handan city.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao came over with great joy, and when they saw Qin Feng, they said in unison: "Liu Zhanduo has made a great contribution this time, we must give him a good celebration, what about the others?"

"Hey~." Qin Feng sighed, his face full of disappointment.

"Could it be dead!" Cao Cao and Yuan Shao suddenly began to feel lost. Although they felt that they and the white Liu Bei were people on two levels, after getting along for a long time, suddenly this person was so different, just like Qin Feng, full of emotions. lost.

　The first day on the shelves, thanks to all brothers for their support.People say that a confidant is enough, and Xiaoyi has so many brothers, which is really a life-long comfort.
