"Thisthis" Liu Xie's voice trembled, and his eyes were full of confusion.
He simply could not understand how the so-called "bed crossbow" in Yuan Fang's mouth could be so miraculous that it could shoot an arrow a thousand steps away.
This is too bizarre, too unbelievable, and completely beyond the scope of Liu Xie's thinking and understanding.
"Your Majesty, didn't I tell you earlier not to jump to conclusions before seeing the results?" Yuan Fang glanced at Liu Xie.
Liu Xie closed his mouth and couldn't say a word. He could only look at this incredible scene in amazement, his face becoming more and more gloomy and distressed.
Ma Teng outside the pass, under Yuan Fang's terrifying long-range attack, had to order to break camp and retreat several miles before setting up camp.
In order to prevent Yuan Fang from taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, Ma Teng had to send Ma Chao and more than 20,000 cavalry to line up outside the camp with large shields, risking being shot into skewers by crossbows to cover the retreat of the large group of troops.
Under the bombardment of the crossbows whistling in the sky, the panicked Xiliang people hurriedly packed up their troops. After leaving more than a thousand corpses and an empty camp, they finally escaped from the range of this arrow of death.
Ma Chao, who was responsible for the cover, had hundreds of cavalrymen who were beaten into human skewers by bed crossbows. They finally waited until the army broke camp before they dared to escape in a hurry.
At dusk, under the setting sun, everyone in the Xiliang army was in shock. Many people looked in the direction of Hangu Pass and even shuddered involuntarily.
"This Yuan Fang is really amazing. I don't know where he got the divine crossbow from, but he can shoot an arrow a thousand steps away. It seems that I really underestimated him, underestimated him"
Ma Teng looked at Guan Xing and sighed, a deep fear quietly appeared in his eyebrows.
??Above Guancheng, Yuan Fang has opened his distance vision, admiring the scene of the Xiliang army retreating in fear.
He did not send troops to take advantage of the situation because he saw Ma Chao's troops and knew that Ma Teng was still on guard.
and. The purpose of today's ultra-long-distance "air strike" is only to shock the morale of the Xiliang people. Now is not the time for a full-scale attack.
"I know very well, how does Your Majesty feel now?" Yuan Fang turned his eyes to Liu Xie.
No longer thinking of himself as a minister, Yuan Fang is now completely on an equal footing with the emperor, because Liu Xie tried to kill him first. Yuan Fang has no reason to respect him anymore.
Liu Xie took a few deep breaths, and after a while he calmed down his turbulent mood. Faced with Yuan Fang's "rude" attitude, Liu Xie felt resentful in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger.
? ? ? ? ? Suppress your anger. Liu Xie sneered: "Qi Gong's crossbow is indeed very powerful, which opened my eyes. Unfortunately, although this crossbow is powerful, it only allows the Xiliang army to retreat a few steps. , Qi Gong wants to completely defeat the Xiliang people, but the outcome is still uncertain. "
Until now. Liu Xie still had some regrets for his Qin Wang's teacher.
Yuan Fang was not angry, and just said calmly: "I didn't expect that your majesty is still so confident, so please go back to Luoyang to rest and wait for my good news."
After saying that, with a flick of his hand, Yuan Fang stood with his hands behind his back and never looked at him again.
"Your Majesty, please." Zhuge Liang stepped forward and raised his hand.
Liu Xie's eyes flashed with anger, and he was filled with anger, but he still didn't dare to explode. He could only wave his sleeves angrily and strode down the city.
After that day, Yuan Fang was as calm as a mountain. He did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but continued to stand still and strictly guard the city.
Cao Cao has been defeated in the south, and Sun Ce has stopped at the foot of Hefei City in the east. As for Youzhou, Yan Liang, with Tian Feng's advice, repeatedly defeated Lu Bu's Liaodong Army's attacks.
Now Yuan Fang occupies Hangu Pass City, has the human and material resources of six states to provide support, and has enough strength and patience. If he continues to fight Ma Teng, he will naturally not be in a hurry for a decisive battle.
On the other hand, although Ma Teng is the leader of the Xiliang Army, this army is only an alliance and is not monolithic. Once the situation is unfavorable, differences will easily arise between them.
According to the intelligence, Ma Teng personally was inclined to withdraw his troops and return to Guanzhong, but his eldest son Ma Chao and the mastermind Chen Gong repeatedly persuaded him and strongly opposed the withdrawal.
Among the other generals, Han Sui advocated retreating, but Zhang Xiu strongly opposed it and insisted on deciding the outcome with Yuan Fang.
With such great internal differences, Ma Teng was hesitant and unable to make a decisive decision, so he could only continue to waste time in front of Hangu Pass.
"In fighting a war of attrition, it does not depend on who has the strongest force, but on having enough food and grass.
The Xiliang Allied Forces occupied Long, the land of Xiliang. Guanlong was originally a prosperous land, but under the destruction of the Xiliang princes, the population has dropped sharply, the fields have been barren, and the economy has been severely damaged.
As for Liangzhou, not to mention, although it is an important military state, its economy is poor.Since ancient times, food and grass have needed to be provided from the interior.
Nowadays, the army of 70,000 to 80,000 people consumes so much food and grass every day. The supply of food and grass to the rear of the Xiliang Army soon appeared to be short of supply.
The siege of the city failed, and there was a shortage of food and grass. At the end of winter, the morale of the Xiliang army was close to falling to the bottom.
¡¡
But Yuan Fang still stood still.
"My lord, the morale of the people in Xiliang has almost dropped to the bottom. What are we waiting for? Let's take the opportunity to go out and fight."
In the big tent, Zhang Fei was drinking strong wine, full of pride, but couldn't wait to shout for a fight.
Yuan Fang smiled and said nothing, just drank a cup of hot wine.
Guo Jia laughed from the side and said, "Yide, don't be anxious. It's not that the Lord is not going to fight, but is he waiting for something?"
Waiting for something?
Zhang Fei was stunned, Monk Zhang Er was confused, and the other generals were also suspicious and speculative, none of them could figure out what Yuan Fang was thinking.
"Did Your Majesty make a sharp weapon like the bed crossbow? But I don't think it is of any use. Apart from scaring the Xiliang people, if you really want to defeat them, you have to use a real sword or a real gun." Zhang Fei rubbed his head and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Fang's eyes, as calm as water, suddenly flashed with a trace of fluctuation, as if he suddenly noticed something.
He put down his wine glass abruptly, raised his head and glanced around the military tent, a trace of excitement gradually emerged on his heroic face.
The cloth military tent swayed, which must be due to the sudden strong wind outside the tent.
Guo Jia¡¯s eyes also flashed with joy
Yuan Fang didn't say anything, he jumped up and strode out of the tent.
There were flying dust in the sky above our heads, the cold wind was howling, and a sudden northeast wind roared into Guancheng.
"The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing, haha¡ª¡ª"
Yuan Fang raised his hand to grasp the strong wind. Laughing loudly, so excited.
Zhang Fei and other generals who followed him saw their master laughing at the sudden strong wind, and they were all at a loss for a moment.
But Guo Jia laughed at Zhang Fei and said: "Yide, what the Lord is waiting for has arrived, you can finally fight to the fullest!"
Zhang Fei looked up at the strong wind above his head. Still confused.
The laughter suddenly stopped, Yuan Fang suddenly looked back, strode back to the big tent, and sat high on it.
The suspicious generals hurriedly followed him back, and everyone noticed it. Yuan Fang, who had a calm aura, was now full of murderous intent, threatening the sky.
In the big tent, the atmosphere immediately became solemn.
Yuan Fanghuan glanced at the generals and said loudly: "The Xiliang people are arrogant and arrogant. I know that you are all holding back your anger. Tonight is the time for us to fully counterattack and let you kill them and vent your anger to your heart's content."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A rolling chill of murder bursts out of the blade-like eyes.
"If the Lord says we will fight, we will fight. I can't bear it, Lao Zhang."
"Wen Chou is willing to be a pioneer, and he will make those Xiliang beasts know the consequences of invading us."
Zhang Fei, Wen Chou and other generals were in the tent. Everyone was infected by Yuan Fang's fighting spirit, and they all asked for a fight in anger. For a moment, the tent was filled with blood and murderous intent.
"good!"
Yuan Fang's blood was boiling, and he stood up with a bang and said heroically: "Tonight, I will mobilize an army of 150,000 people and attack in nine directions. I will use the power of the fire to burn the enemy camp. I will defeat the Xiliang bandits in one fell swoop!"
Nine routes attack together and burn the enemy camp! ?
Hearing Yuan Fang's order, Zhang Fei and other generals suddenly realized why Yuan Fang had been standing still. When the northeast wind blew up, he became so excited and immediately ordered a counterattack.
It turns out that Yuan Fang and other counselors at Guo Jia Jushou had already discussed the strategy of destroying the enemy with fire. If he wanted to attack with fire, how could he not take advantage of the wind?
This northeastern strong wind is exactly what Yuan Fang is waiting for to defeat the enemy.
After understanding the reason, murderous intent as fierce as fire rose into the sky in the big tent.
¡¡
The sun is setting in the west, and it¡¯s night before you know it.
Hangu Pass was completely silent at night, but the enemies outside the city were completely unaware of the turbulent undercurrent surging in this silent city.
Late at night, the cold wind becomes stronger.
In Guancheng, nearly 150,000 soldiers of the Qi army were all well fed.
In order to boost morale, Yuan Fang has used all the wine and meat so that every soldier can have a full meal of meat.
The soldiers, who were well fed and drunk, were waiting quietly in Guancheng, sharpening their swords, and all of them were excited and ready to kill.
Yuan Fangjing stood at the top of the city and looked into the distance.? and night vision pupil, monitoring every move of the enemy camp inside and outside.
The Xiliang army, whose military morale was low, was not aware of anything.
Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was already late at night.
The enemy camp was as quiet as a sleeping baby. Except for the soldiers on patrol, Yuan Fang could not see any signs of precaution.
Yuan Fang raised his head, glanced at the flying dust above his head, took a deep breath, and said sternly: "The time has come. Send an order to the generals, and all armies will act according to their plans."
A group of cavalry scouts galloped away, reaching all the armies in Guancheng.
After the order was given, Yuan Fang held Fang Tian's painted halberd in hand, turned over and stepped onto the red rabbit, and headed straight for closing the door.
The spirits of the Qi army officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately became tense, and every young face was filled with boiling fighting spirit.
The door is slowly opened, the suspension bridge is slowly lowered, and outside Guancheng, there is an endless expanse of night.
Yuan Fang stood in front of the city gate, pointed his halberd, and thousands of soldiers passed by him like a tide and rushed out of the pass.
Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, Gao Shun, and Ju Yi, each of these eight generals commanded more than ten thousand troops. Many of the soldiers held torches and carried firewood and kerosene on their backs. They came out from the gate and were divided into eight armies. , rushing towards the enemy camp to the west.
The Eighth Route Army went out first, and Yuan Fang led a middle army of 30,000 to 40,000 men to follow them and take the middle route.
The Nine Route Army, 150,000 soldiers of the Qi Army, Yuan Fang has already come out in full force in this battle!
