Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 475 Liu Yan Consolidates Yizhou (2)

"Old thief Yan Yan, you must die!"

When Yong Kai saw the tragic death of his general under the horse, his eyes were cracked, and he wailed.

After Yan Yan beheaded Yu Hui, he didn't order his troops to charge. Instead, he looked at Yong Kai and continued: "A few days ago, I lost a round to you, and today I won a round, but I want to let you You are convinced that you lost, so I want to fight with you, how dare you face the enemy!"

"Old man, I will obey you, I will kill you today!"

Yong Kai was in a fit of anger right now, and just wanted to kill Yan Yan, so no matter what Yan Yan said, he would agree!
"Hey, dog thief, you must die today!"

Seeing that Yong Kai agreed to fight, Yan Yan felt secretly refreshed.

I saw that Yan Yan mobilized [-] soldiers and horses, and formed the most common formation... Crane Wing Formation. (The Crane Wing Formation is a formation specially used for encirclement. In this formation, the main general is in the center, mostly bow infantry, and the lieutenants are on both sides. It is best to use strong troops on both sides. When our troops appear behind the enemy, The two wings can be stretched immediately to meet with our troops and form an immediate encirclement.)

"Hahaha, Crane Wing Formation, you want to beat me with just one Crane Wing Formation?"

After Yan Yan put out the crane wing array, Yong Kai pointed at Yan Yan's crane wing array and laughed.

"It's not about the number, but the essence. The formation is not based on the foundation or not, but on the transformation. I want to see if you can break my big formation!"

Yan Yan was in the middle of the formation, commanding the entire crane wing formation to move forward.

Naturally, Yong Kai couldn't go to break the formation with a kiss, so he turned his attention to the people around him. Suddenly, he saw the two brothers Liu Dan and Liu Mao.So he decided to let these two wastes go to explore the formation, and said to the two of them: "You two go and break this formation for me!"

"Lord Yong, if my two brothers talk about leading troops to fight, they still know a thing or two, but this formation, my two brothers can be said to be completely ignorant!"

Liu Hao hurriedly waved his hands at Yong Kai, unwilling to go, and Liu Dan also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, if my two brothers lose the army, it will be a small matter. But it will be bad for you to lose your face. !"

"Let you go, you go to me! What are you talking about here, go!"

For Gao Ding who doesn't listen to him, Yong Kai can only act behind the scenes, and it's hard to say anything on the surface. After all, Gao Ding is not easy to mess with, but Liu Dan and Liu Mao are not bad. It's okay to disobey him, so Yong Kai reprimanded the two people without a good face.

After the reprimand, Yong Kai said to Liu Dan and Liu Mao, "Don't worry, you two, I won't let you two lose if you two watch me order the flag to act!"

"it is good!"

Although Liu Dan and Liu Hao were reluctant, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the soldiers and horses under their command to move forward.

Seeing Liu Dan and Liu Mao passing by, Yong Kai shouted, "Don't be surrounded by them. You can use the arrow formation to expose your own tail. You can't let them surround you! Let's see if he can do it." What kind of array is there!"

Yong Kai stared at Yan Yan intently, wanting to see what tricks he would play.

But how did he know that Yan Yan didn't want to fight against him at all.

Yan Yan used 1 horses to support Liu Dan and Liu Mao's 2 horses, causing Yong Kai's troops to drop sharply.

And Gao Ding beside Yong Kai was staring at Liu Ba on the opposite Yan Yan's formation. As long as Liu Ba waved the command flag, he would immediately attack Yong Kai.

And Liu Ba and Yan Yan had discussed it long ago, as long as Yan Yan held back the enemy, Liu Ba would immediately give Gao Ding an order.

Gao Ding was so nervous at this moment, his heart was going to his throat, and even sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Boom!"

Yan Yan's army horse collided with Liu Dan and Liu Mao's army horse, and Liu Ba in the battle hastily raised his command flag to signal Gao Ding on the opposite side to do it.

When Gao Ding saw the flag raised on the opposite side, he yelled, "Where is E Huan?"

Gao Ding's roar scared everyone, Yong Kai also turned his head, and reprimanded Gao Ding: "What the hell are you doing, isn't E Huan right beside you?"

Gao Ding ignored Yong Kai at all, but continued to shout at E Huan: "Take this opportunity and kill the traitor!"

"Here!"

There was only a horse's distance between E Huan and Yong Kai. After Gao Ding finished shouting, E Huan picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd, rode his horse forward, and went straight to Yong Kai.

No matter how stupid Yong Kai was, he knew what was going on when he saw E Huan rushing towards him, and hurriedly wanted to order the soldiers to resist, but E Huan was too fast. A halberd pierced Yong Kai's lower abdomen.

"Why are you?"

Yong Kai clutched his stomach and looked at Gao Ding suspiciously.

"Hehe, you are a traitor, and I am a loyal minister. Do you think I want to conspire with you? I am just lurking by your side!"

Gao Ding looked at Yong Kai and said disdainfully.

"I'm not reconciled!"

Yong Kai let out a scream and fell to his death from his horse.

When Yong Kai fell off the horse, the soldiers around him realized that they all roared and killed E Huan and Gao Ding, wanting to avenge Yong Kai.

"Get out of here!"

E Huan and Fang Tian waved his halberd, and Yong Kai's soldiers fell from their horses one after another.The rest of the people also fled in all directions, and all the soldiers who insisted on avenging Yong Kai were killed by E Huan.

After E Huan killed Yong Kai's soldiers, Gao Ding got off his horse and cut off Yong Kai's head himself.Then he got on his horse again, raised Yong Kai's head high, and shouted loudly: "Yong Kai, the traitor, has caused rebellion, and I have already killed him. The rest of the bandits will not be killed!"

When Yong Kai's soldiers and horses saw Yong Kai's head, they immediately became confused.Some dropped their weapons and hid their heads and surrendered, some dropped their weapons and ran around, and some clamored to avenge Yong Kai.

"E Huan! Lead the troops and kill those who do not surrender!"

Gao Ding saw that someone was swearing not to surrender and was still rushing to his side, so he gave E Huan an order.

"Here!"

E Huan didn't say much, and with his subordinates, he rushed to kill those soldiers who didn't surrender.

And Zhu Bao fled away with his subordinates.

As for the good-for-nothing brothers Liu Dan and Liu Mao, they thought they had Yong Kai as their backing, but they didn't expect Yong Kai to be dead. When they fought against Yan Yan, Yan Yan changed his formation a little bit, and the two were confused. Circled.In Yan Yan's large formation, he reloaded indiscriminately, and couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north.After a while, these two people were also captured by Yan Yan.

After Yan Yan won the victory, he went all the way south and regained all the lost land. Because Yan Yan was powerful, Zhu Bao did not dare to confront him, so he went south to Shamoke.

Yan Yan took Gao Ding Ehuan back to the court with Liu Dan and Liu Mao as escorts.

Brother 480 Chapter [-] Artillery is not omnipotent

It is said that since Liu Xie was assassinated, the princes of the world have claimed their own kings and hegemony, and even Liu Zhang has inherited Liu Yan's throne.

Let's talk about our protagonist, Liu Wei, the king of Liaozhou in Liaozhou. Li Yan, who was an official in Yizhou, and Huo Jun in Jingzhou, both of them were important generals in the late Shu Han period in official history, especially Huo Jun, who was known for his good defense.

In terms of military strength, Liu Wei expanded the number of soldiers and horses in Liaozhou to nearly 50. There are 10 permanent troops stationed in Liaozhou, 15 soldiers and horses defending northern Youzhou, and the remaining 25 people are all available. Use military horses.

"My lord, our army is now strong and strong. It is a good time to send troops. Yuan Benchu ​​in Jizhou has always been our worry, so the last general thinks that we should send troops to attack Yuan Shao in Jizhou. After defeating Yuan Shao, we can unify It's north of the Yellow River, and by then, the lord will be the real king of Hebei, and he will have enough capital to stand out from the world!"

In the Prince's Mansion of Liaozhou, Xu Shu pointed to Yuan Shao's territory on the map hanging on the wall.

Looking at Liu Wei again, Liu Wei smiled and said nothing. After glancing at Guo Jia who seemed to be dozing there, he looked at Li Yan and Huo Jun who had defected to him recently, and said, "Zhengfang, Zhongmiao, Although the two of you are new to Liaozhou, you should know something about the situation in Liaozhou, what do you two think?"

Huo Jun was very careful, frowning tightly, and did not speak for a long time, while Li Yan said after a moment of contemplation: "My lord, what the military advisor said is very reasonable. If my lord wants to accomplish great things, I must first pacify the north, and then divide my troops to go south." , put down the princes from all walks of life, and the great cause can be accomplished!"

Liu Wei nodded, as the so-called hero sees the same thing, what Li Yan said was no different from what many of his subordinates said.

After listening to Li Yan, Liu Wei looked at Huo Jun again, and said, "Zhong Miao, what do you think, you might as well tell me what you think!"

Huo Jun held back for a long time, and then said: "My lord, the general is good at defense, but not good at attacking, but if the lord asks me what should I do with Yuan Shao, I also think that Yuan Shao should be taken down. After all, we are not afraid of Yuan Shao." , on the contrary, it was Yuan Shao who was repeatedly defeated by the lord. Now the soldiers and horses under the lord's command have been drilled for a long time, but they have never really seen blood. Sharpen your blade, and this Yuan Shao is our whetstone!"

"Hahahaha!"

After hearing Huo Jun's words, Liu Wei clapped his hands and laughed, looked at Huo Jun and said, "Zhong Miao, what you said is not wrong at all. This Yuan Shao is the sharpening stone of our army!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Wei looked at the people in front of him again and said: "As Zhong Miao said, our army lacks tempering now, so I decided to send troops to attack Yuan Shao, but this time the expedition is different from the previous ones. This time we Let the soldiers experience the baptism of blood and make them a real elite soldier. Therefore, all the artillery will be left in Liaozhou for this expedition. Is this because the transportation of the artillery is inconvenient? Second, if there are artillery , Yuan Jun will be easily defeated!"

As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, Zhao Yun, who was on the right side of Liu Wei, stood up, clasped his fists at Liu Wei, and said, "My lord, it's really inappropriate not to bring cannons for this expedition!"

"Nothing? What's wrong?"

Liu Wei asked back.

"My lord, everyone knows how important this artillery is when we siege the city, and the artillery has repeatedly made great achievements in our Liaozhou. If we don't have artillery, the siege will be much more difficult! So the subordinates think that we It’s better to bring artillery with you on this expedition!”

Zhao Yun persuaded Liu Wei.

After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Liu Wei didn't pay attention to Zhao Yun. Instead, he smiled sternly, and then said, "Hehe, the thing I was most worried about happened. When the Yong artillery attacked the city, I was worried that you would have trouble with the artillery. Dependency! From the standpoint, it really is!"

Speaking of which, Liu Wei glanced at Zhao Yun, because Liu Wei was very surprised that Zhao Yun, a victorious general, also became dependent on artillery.

As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, Yuexi also stood up and persuaded Liu Wei: "My lord, I think what Zilong said is not unreasonable. After all, the power of artillery is obvious to all, and with artillery attacking the city, it is impossible to attack the city." It’s much easier, and the soldiers don’t need to climb the top of the wall themselves, which can also reduce the death of soldiers!”

After Yue Xi finished speaking, everyone present also nodded, expressing their agreement with Yue Xi's statement.

"Hehe, is it easy to attack the city? Reduce the death of soldiers?"

Liu Wei smiled disdainfully. If this was the cannon of later generations, Liu Wei would still agree. However, in the backward era of the Three Kingdoms, crude cannons with insufficient airtightness, solid cannonballs, and the most primitive gunpowder, Liu Wei Vick dared to think so.

"Yuexi, let me ask you, how many days does it take to take down a city with cannons?"

Liu Wei asked.

"What about this? If there is no thousand-jin gate, it can be taken in a day. If there is a thousand-jin gate, it will take a few days! But after all, most of the city walls do not have thousand-jin gates, so ordinary cities can be taken in one day. !"

Yue Xi answered confidently.

"Well, one day? Five or six days?"

Liu Wei stood up and smiled, then stood up, pointed at the location of Yecheng on the map, and said, "I will give you ten cannons, and you go to Yecheng and bombard me for five days. Let me see if you can bombard the city." Open the walls of Ye City!"

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Yue Xi lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Liu Wei.

Seeing that Yuexi was silent, Liu Wei picked up a piece of white paper, nailed it to the wall, picked up a brush, drew a square on the paper, and then drew a small square on one side of the square. x, said: "For example, this is the city wall of Ye City. It took me ten days to blast a small opening!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Wei drew three more sides at the place where the x was facing, forming a concave shape. Liu Wei said again: "In this day's time, they can completely build such a wall again, such a wall. what's the result?"

Liu Wei looked at the generals present and asked.

All these people fell silent and lowered their heads.

Seeing that they did not speak, Liu Wei said calmly: "The result is that we wasted ten days of hard work and ten days of food and grass! But we got nothing!"

After a pause, Liu Wei said again: "Do you still think that artillery is a weapon for siege? Luoyang, Chang'an, Xiangyang and many other cities are stronger than the city walls of Yecheng!"
