Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

At the same time, in Jingzhou, Cao Cao had won four counties and cities in consecutive battles.

The entire Jingbei has been completely occupied.

Liu Bei, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others suffered extremely heavy casualties. Although not as serious as losing more than half, they still lost more than 100,000 soldiers.

As for the generals, they also suffered a lot.

At this time, Jingzhou only had three counties left to defend.

And because Jingbei has been lost, Jiangdong has also lost its barrier, and it is only separated from Cao Cao's soldiers by the Yangtze River.

Sun Quan knew that if it had been before, Cao Cao might not have been able to cross the Yangtze River.

But it’s different now!

Not only did Cao Cao have better warships, he also trained his navy for so long during this period, and most of them were proficient in water skills.

The Yangtze River natural chasm is no longer an insurmountable gap for Cao Cao.

Therefore, Cao Cao had no choice but to mobilize 150,000 troops back to defend Jiangdong. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Ling Tong also transferred back to Jiangdong.

Sun Quan was afraid that Cao Cao would take advantage of this period to directly attack Jiangdong.

If that happens, then Jiangdong will really be doomed.

However, at this time, Cao Cao suddenly stopped and stopped in the four counties of Jingbei and stopped sending troops.

This can be regarded as giving the Sun and Liu coalition forces a chance to breathe.

But they always feel that this matter is not that simple!

At this moment, Liu Bei was in the camp.

Basically all the soldiers are here.

Even Lu Meng and Lu Xun were among them.

After all, there are only three counties and cities left in the entire Jingzhou, so they simply defended the frontline city.

The entire camp was lifeless.

This period of losing streak has made them see the reality clearly.

Nowadays, they have no way to fight against Cao Cao!

Although Cao Cao did not take out grenades during this period, the combat effectiveness of their current soldiers is terrifying enough!

Arrows are difficult to penetrate, and swords, axes, and axes may not be able to break through their armor.

The soldiers under Cao Cao's command seemed to be a group of indestructible people, not afraid of any attack at all.

However, their weapons are exceptionally sharp.

In contrast, it didn't take long for the weapons of the Sun-Liu coalition soldiers to be scrapped.

In this case, how to fight them?

Moreover, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were even more ferocious than before. There were only five thousand people, but they could chase an army of one hundred thousand!

This is simply disheartening.

This battle is impossible to fight!

Zhuge Liang was also worried at this time.

Although Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan had sent many spies, trying to steal a few grenades for research.

However, more than ten spies failed, and they were all discovered and killed by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's defensiveness was simply outrageous!

Moreover, Cao Cao didn't use it himself and asked Jia Xu to hide it, which made it harder to find and steal.

Therefore, this plan had to fail.

However, no matter how much Zhuge Liang thought, he could not imagine how this grenade was made.

How on earth can such a small thing cause such a huge explosion?

Although Zhuge Liang is also very proficient in mechanisms and creation methods, he is really powerless against grenades.

After all, he didn't know that this grenade would not appear until at least a thousand years later.

If it could be easily seen at this time, would that be a big deal?

"Brother, this thief Cao is simply not a human being!"

"He kept chattering, is he deliberately teasing us?"

"If you ask me to send troops now, I will poke hundreds of transparent holes in his body!"

In this moment of silence, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and cursed.

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.

Everyone was silent.

They all knew that Zhang Fei was just addicted to talking.

Zhang Fei's weapons may not be able to penetrate Cao Cao's armor.

"What kind of material is this armor made of? Is it so hard?"

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly spoke and looked at Zhuge Liang and Pang Tongdao.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and said with a slight frown:

"For your information, my lord, I have brought the armor of Cao Jun who died in battle for inspection."

"If I'm not mistaken, these armors should all be made of hundred-forged steel."

"And the armor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is more sophisticated, maybe..."

At this point, Zhuge Liang hesitated.

Pang Tong on the side suddenly said:

"Maybe it's very possible, it's Thousand Forged Steel!"

When they heard this, everyone was shocked!

Thousand forged steel?

Thousand-forged steel that only exists in legends?

Why does Cao Cao possess Thousand Forged Steel?

Moreover, although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry only has 5,000 men, these five thousand pairs of thousand-forged steel armor also require a lot of thousand-forged steel!

How did Cao Cao do it?

Not to mention the thousand-forged steel, but the hundred-forged steel alone. The half-million-strong army is all equipped with armor made of hundred-forged steel...

No one dared to even think about it.

Liu Bei's face also became extremely gloomy.

It's not like Liu Bei didn't have hundreds of forged steel.

However, manufacturing is extremely slow and consumes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

Therefore, Liu Bei's only Baijie soldiers and Wudang Feijun were equipped with weapons made of hundred-forged steel.

As for ordinary soldiers, they can only wear ordinary armor and do not enjoy this kind of treatment at all.

"Damn it! What kind of bad luck did this thief get?"

"You actually know how to forge Thousand Forged Steel?!"

"No wonder our soldiers' arrows can't penetrate the armor of that tiger and leopard rider!"

Zhang Fei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with a solemn expression:

"I wonder if the military advisor has any idea how to make these thousand forged steels?"

"Then since Cao Cao was able to make Thousand Forged Steel, he must have used certain methods."

"If our army can also be equipped with such weapons, it will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

However, Zhuge Liang shook his head gently:

"My lord, I apologize for my incompetence. Although I understand that this object may be Thousand Forged Steel, there is no shortcut to Thousand Forged Steel."

"If you want to make thousand-forged steel, you have to hammer the iron material repeatedly."

"After reaching hundred-forged steel, it will take a long time to make it. Otherwise, there will be no such precision."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei already knew.

In desperation, Liu Bei slowly stood up and looked at the still clear sky outside the camp:

"Unexpectedly, the great man's luck has declined and he may not be able to recover!"

"I'm not willing to let a traitor like Cao Cao succeed!"

Lu Xun, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and whispered:

"Uncle Emperor, I have a plan."

"Maybe we can break the current situation."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes lit up:

"Bo Yan? Please tell me!"

Lu Xun looked solemn and spat out two words one by one:

"Fire attack!"
