King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 471

Looking at Zhao Yun's surprised eyes, Li Lin waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Zilong, to tell you the truth, this is not made by manpower!"

Zhao Yun looked at Li Lin suspiciously, and asked, "It's not a person, it's a beast in the real forest. This forest is located on a plain, so how could there be beasts?"

Li Lin giggled, pointed to the bed crossbow next to Fang Fang and the others and said, "That's the one! It caused the scars on this tree and the tree next to it!"

"Bed crossbow?" Zhao Yun exclaimed. The bed crossbow he saw just now was wrong. It had twice as many bows and arrows than ordinary bed crossbows, and it was also much larger. There are two wheels, which seem neither fish nor fowl, so what does Li Lin do with a bed crossbow in the woods?
Li Lin smiled and said, "That's right, it's this one, and the two loud noises were also caused by him!"

"This..." Zhao Yun was quite stupid. The bed crossbow can indeed make the arrows more powerful, but it can't be like this. Besides, the wound of this big tree is here, but where is the arrow? ah?
Li Lin looked at Zhao Yun's stupid look, smiled, and said: "Hehe, go back, three days later, I will prepare the army to attack the city, this time, I will let you see, your lord, how did I kill you in one day?" Take this Xuchang city!"

"You..." Zhao Yun looked at Li Lin's confident eyes, hesitated for a long time, but finally said to Li Lin, "No!"

Immediately, Li Lin smiled and took Zhao Yun and others back to the camp, and don't cut the bed crossbow to cover it up. A guard battalion personally returned to the Chinese army, and Li Lin knew that his experiment was successful, but how could a bed crossbow be taken down? What about the power of Xuchang?So Li Lin told Zhao Yun to get ready, three days later, the real time to attack Xuchang, and during these three days, Li Lin stepped up to know the bed crossbow and gunpowder arrows.

The soldiers in the Youliao barracks saw the truckloads of well-covered supplies drawing closer to the Chinese army, but they didn't know what was going on, they heard that the lord was researching a new siege weapon, The battalions paid close attention to the movement of Xuchang city, waiting for the day when Li Lin gave the order.

On the third day Li Lin said, Xuchang will be attacked tomorrow. The entire Youliao army camp, including Li Lin, is in a state of fighting to the death. Li Lin really mobilized all the troops to prepare During the siege the next day, the smell of sulfide still echoed in Li Lin's tent, but the generals who were full of fighting spirit were not affected by this smell. Li Lin looked at the people sitting down and said very excitedly: "Soldiers! It has been more than three months since our army came south. It has been fighting from Jizhou to the city of Xuchang. We have been stalemate with Cao Jun here for more than two months. Our army suffered huge casualties. It was I, Li Yuanjie, who started the incident. , the biggest loss for a while, even Beiping, a certain old nest, was attacked by Xianbei people, but everything we wanted was not in vain. Tomorrow is the decisive battle between us and Cao Jun. Tomorrow night, I will definitely be here in Xuchang City, Cao Cao In the palace built for the emperor, reward the soldiers, brothers, are you confident?"

"I must serve with death!" The crowd immediately stood up and shouted in unison. It is nonsense to say that they have confidence. After fighting for more than a month, Xuchang was not defeated, and more than 1 soldiers lost their lives. The barracks were broken, most of the euphorbia soldiers were killed and killed, and the Kidnap Camp had to be rebuilt. If the war in Beiping was included, less than half of the losses in the first camp were left, and even the blood camp lost more than 300 people. The loss really hurt Li Lin's Youliao Army, but the battle will continue, and Li Lin is still the leader in everyone's hearts. He will fight as he says, and Li Lin said he will win today. In Xuchang, all the soldiers will talk about serving their lives with death first, and they are talking about whether they can be taken or not.

Li Lin also saw the appearance of the crowd. After fighting for so many days, he suddenly said that he would win Xuchang within a year. No one would believe it easily. Li Lin smiled and said to the soldiers: "Brothers, Don't worry, everyone, our army has a secret weapon at this moment. I have been tossing around this handsome tent for so many days. Xuchang, and I said one day, you may not believe it, but I want to ask you a question, you believe me, Li Yuanjie!" Li Lin raised his momentum suddenly after speaking.

Everyone immediately said: "Of course I believe in the lord!"

Li Lin nodded and said: "Okay! Since you all believe in me, I will tell you that tomorrow night, you will definitely drink and celebrate in Xuchang City!"

"Okay!" Everyone was also lifted up by Li Lin's aura and shouted.

Li Lin asked someone to put up the map. If you want to talk about attacking the city, why do you still use the map? Li Lin took it. Of course the map is not meant to talk about the siege. Li Lin pointed at the one in front of him and bowed his head: "Look , our army is now mainly attacking the North Gate of Xuchang, and the suspension bridge at the North Gate has been smashed by our trebuchets. , is Chen Guo, and Ju Yi has ten thousand elites besieging Cao Jun there, Cao Cao will definitely not choose to escape there, so, in this way, Cao Jun can only leave the city from the west and south, and in the west, Xuchang, Ying Sichuan will also fall into my hands quickly, so even if Cao Cao fled from the west, he would pass Yingchuan and enter Songshan Mountain directly, then turn south or west, and enter Nanyang Maojie where there are still [-] people The army resisted Liu Biao, and left the city from the south gate of Xuchang, heading directly south, crossing the Yingshui River, and heading straight to Runan, where there were also Cao Cao's soldiers from more than ten thousand counties, but Cao Cao should also understand that if I take Xuchang, I will directly attack Runan , His little county soldiers have no combat power at all, and I have all of Runan under my control!"

On the one hand, Zhang Yun said: "So, this is Cao Cao's chance to walk from the west gate of Xuchang to Nanyang?"

Li Lin smiled and said: "No way, if Cao Cao still wants to stay with me in Henan Zhouxuan, he will definitely cross Yingshui from the south gate and go to Runan!"

Zhang He asked puzzledly, "Oh? Why is that? Didn't my lord say that the soldiers from Runan's county are no match for our army?"

Li Lindao: "Hehe! That's right, there are indeed no elite generals of Cao Jun in Runan, but if Cao Cao doesn't go to Runan, then Cao Jun will be defeated faster. You see, now our army is coming down from the Yellow River, it seems to be the answer. Under the city of Xuchang, but in fact, Cao Cao’s prefectures and counties are not many, because we have to take down Xuchang, Cao Cao’s governorship, to destroy the morale of his army, and then attack the city aggressively, so our army is more like a nail. Straight into Cao Cao's heart, and if Cao Cao retreats to Xuchang and wants to go southwest to Nanyang, we will take advantage of the situation and go south to Runan, which borders Liu Biao's Jingzhou. You see, in this way, we are already Cao Cao The territory of our army is divided into two. The west of our army, Nanyang, Luoyang, and the three auxiliary lands of Chang'an belong to Cao Cao, while the east of our army, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and half of Yangzhou also belong to Cao Cao. Cao Cao went to Nanyang. Our army won and captured Runan. At that time, I will turn from a nail into a baffle, so that Cao Cao will not be able to take care of both the east and the west. At that time, our army will be the master of the three eastern states, and Cao Cao and Liu Biao are big in Nanyang. Hidden danger, how can he still have the energy and strength to manage the vast territory of the three states, wouldn't it mean that Cao Cao went to Nanyang and directly gave the three states to me and Sun Quan to take them?"

After listening to Li Lin's words, everyone in the tent fell into deep thought. After a while, Zhao Yun suddenly said quietly: "Cao Cao is very scheming, and it is very likely that he went to Nanyang, and let me put Sun Quan in Xuzhou to fight Yangzhou. Cao Cao is waiting for me." Our side has a bad relationship with Sun Quan, and he is sitting back and reaping the rewards!"

Li Lin smiled and said: "Zilong is right, I have thought about this too, but would Cao Cao have thought that in fact, just after Ziyi attacked Qingzhou, so and so sent a letter to Sun Quan, planning to fight with Sun Quan Let's attack Cao Cao together!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Zhao Yun said, "This... my lord! Although Sun Quan is not as brave as his father and brother, the Jiangdong disciples under his command are also masters of tigers and wolves, and our army wasted a lot in Henan. How can we allow Sun Quan to go north to take advantage of me? !"

Li Lin waved his hand and said: "I know what you mean, when did our Youliao army let others take advantage of it, then Cao Cao was seriously ill in Yangzhou and Xuzhou, Che Zhou and Chen Deng are not easy to provoke , and the two are from aristocratic families, as long as we don't touch their brows and let Sun Quan compete with them, even if we have already won Qingzhou and Yanzhou, it is estimated that Sun Quan will not make much progress! "

Xu Miao said: "My lord, Qingzhou Ziyi also encountered Lu Qian, Wang Xiu and others are also very difficult to deal with. It will take time for Ziyi to win quickly, but the lord and Sun Quan have agreed at that time. Now The princes of the world want to share a piece of Cao Cao's fat meat. The victory or defeat of our army under the city of Xuchang is also closely watched by the world. If it is true as what the Lord said, we can take it tomorrow. Xuchang, so dependent, the princes of the world will definitely do something. Although Ma Teng had conflicts with Han Sui again under Cao Cao's countermeasures, and Liu Biao also became suspicious of Liu Bei under Mao Jie's scheme. There are so many problems in taking over Jiangdong by hand, but as long as Cao Cao is defeated and the elites are lost to Xuchang, their strengths will quickly regroup. The lord once said that there are no permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests. In the face of interests, even the revenge of killing the father can be tolerated. At that time, all the problems that existed in Yongliang, Jingxiang, and Jiangdong will no longer be problems, and they will all attack the Central Plains together, but if the lord seems to want to monopolize In the Central Plains, after Cao Cao’s death, the lord will become the target of public criticism. With the relationship between the lord and Liu He, Liu He will definitely fall into trouble, and if the lord destroys Cao Cao, he will become the next Cao Cao..."
