Chapter 746 I am Li Cunxiao
Chapter 744: I am Li Cunxiao
In this era, crossbows are one of the rare equipment.
Whether it is attack distance, penetration, or accurate head, crossbows are much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows. It is just because their production cost is too high and the production process is too complicated, so the mainstream long-range attack equipment on the battlefield is still bows and arrows.
Most princes believed that crossbows were far less affordable than bows and arrows, so although they had crossbows in their hands, they were not many. However, Qin Hao, the only one who really improved and built them in large quantities is probably the only one who was there.
The new crossbow exposed this time, both the range and attack power are several times stronger than the old-fashioned crossbow, which also makes Liu Xiu feel a little uneasy. After all, why didn’t Xin Qiji use it before?
"There is definitely not a large number, so I want to use it as a killer weapon."
Liu Xiu comforted himself so much, but when he ordered his full strength to attack the city, he realized how outrageous he was wrong.
Judging from the density of the crossbow arrows alone, there are at least 500 powerful crossbows on each wall on Yicheng, and the total number on all sides will definitely not be less than 2,000.
Two thousand powerful crossbows, and there are also bed crossbows, catapult cars, etc. Yicheng''s city guarding equipment is luxurious.
In this world, Xin Qiji was not exposed at all before. Isn’t it obvious that he knew he was a feint attack, so he deliberately retained his strength.
Liu Xiu was even more uneasy when he learned about this. In order to win Yicheng with minimal losses, he began to contact the aristocratic families in the city.
Originally, the aristocratic family in the city had agreed to not open the city gate from inside, but now there was no movement at all. It was obviously completely suppressed by Xin Qiji.
After the road to break through Yicheng from the inside was completely cut off, Liu Xiu was the only way to attack Yicheng at all costs.
Although Yicheng is a small city, its defense facilities are complete and the city is full of ammunition and food. There are also famous generals like Xin Qiji and Yang Zaixing guarding, and there are no flaws in command.
As soon as the Jingzhou coalition entered the attack range, thousands of arrows and stones were fired in Yicheng, and they didn''t care about the consumption of arrows and stones at all.
The coalition soldiers in charge of siege died on the way to siege the city, and four of them died on the way to climb the ladder. Only 10% of them finally climbed the city tower, and were quickly strangled by Yang Zaixing.
Liu Xiu personally commanded the attack for a long time, and the Jingzhou coalition lost 3,000 troops, but the Yicheng side had less than 300.
If this trend continues, even if the coalition forces can eventually conquer Yicheng, they will definitely suffer tens of thousands of casualties, which is unacceptable to all the princes.
Such huge casualties made everyone silent. In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Liu Xiu decided to put Yicheng aside for the time being.
There are only more than 3,000 defenders in Yicheng, which is irrelevant to the overall situation. The urgent task of the coalition forces is to solve Bai Qi''s reinforcements. At that time, it is easy to break Yicheng with the momentum of victory.
"Wei Wentong, now I ordered you to lead 5,000 troops to surround Yicheng. Before our army defeats Bai Qi''s army, we will never let anyone in Yicheng run away."
As soon as Liu Xiu''s order was released, Wei Wentong immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Oh."
Liu Xiu nodded and continued to order: "Feng Yi, Zhu You."
"The last one will be there."
"Bai Qi must be eager to fight when he comes from afar. You two lead three thousand troops to challenge. Remember to only defeat but not win. Be sure to bring Bai Qi''s army here."
"No."
"Deng Yu, Wu Han."
"The last one will be there."
"There are many dangerous places along the way in Yicheng. You two lead 5,000 troops each and set up an ambush when you look for a dangerous place. When Bai Qi''s leadership is out of date, they will attack each other together."
"No." ?????????After several orders were issued, the tent became empty. Liu Xiu looked at the map in front of him and thought to himself: "Bai Qi, no matter what your plan is, it is useless in the face of absolute strength."
———
Bai Qi''s 31,000 army was less than thirty miles away from Yicheng at this time. When the army reached a valley, it happened to directly collided with Liu Xiu''s vanguard.
"Listen to the miscellaneous Qin army, I am Zhu You, the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao. Who dares to fight me?"
Seeing this, the generals of the Qin army looked at each other. Li Cunxiao couldn''t help but whisper to Bai Qi: "Old Bai, you''re right again. Liu Xiu really sent someone to challenge him."
Bai Qi glanced at him and said lightly: "I am not in the best position and I will punish the army with fifteenth stick."
Li Cunxiao widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Old Bai, are you a dog? You haven''t started the war yet, but you punish me first?"
“Thirty military sticks.”
“…”
"Okay, General, my subordinates know that they are wrong, so I ask the general to let their subordinates make meritorious service."
Bai Qi''s eyes were as plain as water, as cold as ever, and said, "Well, let''s go to the battle. If you win, you will not be defeated. If you win, you will be exempted from the military sticks. If you lose, you will be twice as much as possible."
"General Xie."
Seeing that before he cursed for a while, a general from the Qin army came out. He was overjoyed and rushed over, preparing to fight for a few moves and pretend to lose.
Zhu You ranked eighth among the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai and was also the only general among the twenty-eight people who had been captured. However, Liu Xiu not only cherished his bravery and did not blame him, but also restored Zhu You to his post and gave him a generous gift, and sent him to attack Xinye and everywhere, both of which were won.
"The enemy generals come here to name me, Zhu You, will not kill the nameless people." Zhu You shouted in the Mercedes-Benz.
Li Cunxiao smiled disdainfully and said coldly: "Remember, I am Li Cunxiao, your life is my return."
Zhu You was shocked when he heard this. He just came over to test it. He didn''t know that a great **** would pop up in this round. If he had known it, he would have asked for his name first and then started.
Although Zhu You is very confident in his own martial arts, he was not stupid at all under Dong Zhuo''s command, and knew the gap between him and the top three generals.
There is no turning back when the arrow is drawn. Now the distance between the two is less than ten meters. Zhu You can''t run even if he wants to run, so he can only bite the bullet and go.
Knowing that the other party is much stronger than him, Zhu You used all his strength as soon as he got up.
"Dingdong, Zhu You''s skill "Gun King" is launched, with force +3, basic force 97, and the current force has increased to 100."
After feeling the fluctuation of internal force on the other party, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Cunxiao''s eyes. If it were normal, he might have chosen to capture him alive, but he was so angry that he was just now that Bai Qi was about to vent his anger on Zhu You.
"Dingdong, Li Cunxiao''s ''Heaven'' was launched, with force +6, basic force 109, equipment +2, and the current force has risen to 117."
As soon as the two soldiers touched each other, Zhu You''s slaughtered by Li Cunxiao''s overbearing power, which was shocked by the tiger''s mouth cracking, and the spear in his hand also came out.
"No…"
Zhu You roared unwillingly, but Li Cunxiao didn''t care about that and cut off his head directly.
In just one round, Zhu You, who ranked eighth among the twenty-eight generals, died at the hands of Li Cunxiao for a long time.
