It turned out that Guo Ming had long expected that Yang Feng and Han Xian would lay an ambush here, so he made arrangements in advance to ambush his three thousand dead soldiers on the outside. Therefore, Li Dian's reaction was so real. As for Guo Ming, it was all It depends on my acting skills.
When Yang Feng and Han Xian saw that they were not inferior to the enemy, they immediately withdrew into Liang County with their men. Seeing the two retreating into Liang County, Guo Ming stopped pursuing them.
"Sir, why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it? While our morale is high."
Li Dian asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Guo Ming smiled and said: "General Li Dian, don't be anxious now. You will understand in a few days."
For half a month, Guo Ming did not attack. Yang Feng was very puzzled as to why Guo Ming did not attack the city for a long time and only surrounded them.
However, the encirclement was not that tight. The people he sent out to ask for help from Yuan Shu a few days ago were easily killed, and Guo Ming did not choose to cut off water and food, which made Yang Feng very confused.
"The city wall in Liang County is not strong. I guess this kid still doesn't know what bad things he is holding back. In short, just be careful." Han Xian said helplessly, because their situation at this moment was like catching a turtle in an urn.
But suddenly, the birds in the forest not far away were frightened and fled in all directions, and billowing dust also rose up. Yang Feng looked at this scene and ordered him to go down and prepare for battle.
As the dust got closer and closer, dozens of yellow strange things appeared, with a big shovel in front and something rolling like a ribbon.
Yang and Feng looked curiously at this strange thing under the city. Yang Feng was the first to ask: "Han Xian, have you ever seen such a thing?"
"I have never seen such a thing before. This must be a new type of siege equipment." After saying that, Han Xian immediately ordered the room, but how could the sharp arrows penetrate the steel?
Thousands of arrows were fired in several rounds, but the steel monster remained unscathed. The soldiers defending the city trembled in fear. When Yang Feng and Han Xian were about to retreat, the ground began to shake violently. The two of them were left standing unsteadily.
Yang and Feng walked to the edge of the city and looked down, only to see the steel monster hitting the city wall with a big shovel.
In front of them, the city wall was as fragile as paper, and rubble kept popping out.
But suddenly, a black shadow blocked their sight. Yang Feng was still wondering: "Han Xian, why did it get dark so quickly today?"
Han Xian looked up in confusion and saw a smaller shovel falling from the sky. Fortunately, Han Xian reacted first and pushed Yang Feng away who was still in a daze, so the two of them escaped.
As for the place where the two of them were just now, it was directly smashed into a pothole. Yang Feng was also surprised and murmured to himself: "These things are too scary. No wonder Lu Bu lost to this guy. It was really not unfair to lose." .
"Yang Feng! Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige! Is there anything you can do now?" Han Xian shouted.
Yang Feng also said helplessly: "There is no other way but to retreat."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a huge noise from the city wall not far away, and a huge hole was directly breached in the city wall.
The reason why Guo Ming did not attack the city before was firstly because he did not want to increase casualties, and secondly because the city wall in Liang County was not very tall, so Guo Ming wanted to see if the excavator and forklift he had just obtained could be used as weapons for attacking the city. .
Now it seems that it is indeed much more effective than a catapult or something, and Liang County was completely defeated under this fierce offensive.
Yang Feng and Han Xian took the remaining defeated generals and fled in embarrassment, heading east to join Yuan Shu.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission (defeating Yang Feng) and receiving the mission reward: 2000 points, 20 force points, and 10 strategy points.
After Guo Ming entered the city, he quickly pacified the people in the city and returned to the court victorious.
Yuan Shu's reinforcements had not yet reached Liang County. News came that Yang Feng and Han Xian were defeated and had taken refuge. Yuan Shu was also shocked. Only one day after he received the letter asking for help, Liang County was actually captured.
Later, Yuan Shu learned from Yang Feng and Han Xian that Cao Cao's army had a powerful siege weapon. Only then did Yuan Shu understand that Cao Cao's power was at its peak. If it was not stopped, it would be a disaster.
Just when Yuan Shu was about to attack Cao Cao, Yang Hong stood up and said: "My lord, you must not act rashly now. Liu Bei is watching in the north, and Sun Ce is occupying Jiangdong in the east. He seems to be self-reliant. Cao Cao has many soldiers and generals, and even more so now. As the sun rises in the sky, we should avoid the sharp edge for the time being."
After hearing this, Yuan Shu said with disdain: "I am the queen of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes. Cao Cao is just a eunuch. Liu Bei is a mat weaver and shoe seller. As for Sun Ce, he is just a common man."
The generals also agreed at this time. Seeing the arrogance of Yuan Shu and the generals, Yang Hong secretly sighed helplessly.
At this time, Tan Ma suddenly came to report that Liu Bei had sent troops to attack Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was very angry and said: "This mountain villager who weaves mats and sells shoes! I just don't attack his Xuzhou, but now he dares to attack me! He is looking for death!"
Immediately, Yuan Shu ordered the entire army to prepare to meet the enemy.
As for the reason why Liu Bei did this, he was forced to do so. When the emperor's edict reached Liu Bei's hands, Liu Bei was also extremely embarrassed.
Because it was an edict from the emperor, he, who usually lived as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, had to obey it. However, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this edict was Cao Cao's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Guan Yu said: "Brother, we can pretend to be sick and not go away, so that we can preserve our strength."
"Yes, brother, if we go, wouldn't we be taking orders from Cao Cao?"
"I say, brother, let's just proclaim ourselves emperor, so that we don't have to take orders from that court." Zhang Fei said bluffingly.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei angrily scolded, while Zhang Fei lowered his head in aggrievedness.
Just when Liu Bei felt helpless, Chen Deng and his son arrived. As if Liu Bei had grasped a life-saving straw, he hurried to greet them and asked for their opinions.
Chen Deng said: "My lord, in my opinion, we should attack Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu has coveted Xuzhou for a long time, and we have deep grudges with him. Attacking Yuan Shu will not only preserve Xuzhou, but also gain a reputation of loyalty and obedience to the emperor's edict. "
Chen Deng's words were like a reassurance, allowing Liu Bei to start gathering troops and made up his mind to attack Yuan Shu who occupied Huainan.
