Above the sky, the hot air balloon followed the direction of the wind and quickly traveled towards Guan Yu's advancing army.

The scenery under their feet unfolded in front of Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying, and Xu Shu. What also unfolded was the ambush that could be seen from a bird's eye view.

There are ambushes everywhere outside the entire joint camp.

It is foreseeable that as long as Guan Yu falls into it, what awaits him will be endless siege... When a sheep enters the tiger's mouth, life or death is unpredictable.

Guan Yu must be stopped.

But... how can they tell him in heaven?

For a moment, Huang Chengyan and Xu Shu's cheeks didn't look good, but Huang Yueying suddenly thought of something and quickly opened her mouth, "You can try the machine bird."

The machine bird is a wooden "kite" made by both Lu Ban and Mozi during the Warring States Period. This wooden kite usually has its wings retracted and relies on its legs to walk on the ground. The legs are thick and long, which can provide strong support and can travel in swamps. If you encounter an emergency, you can also fly into the sky and stay in the air for three days.

Huang Yueying and Huang Chengyan are both descendants of the Mohist mechanism technique, and are no strangers to this "organ bird".

But if the large machine bird has been lost for a long time, Huang Yueying only made a small one, which can be guided by a thin wire and controlled to fly... If the angle is correct, it can land on the ground accurately and contact Guan Yu's army. .

Of course, this is all theory.

It is extremely difficult to make the machine bird walk in front of Guan Yu.

For example, a hot air balloon must further lower its height, such as precise operation...

really…

Huang Yueying pursed her lips slightly, "I'm not sure whether the machine bird can fly...but, there is always more hope."

"Just a trap alone won't do it." Xu Shu quickly interrupted, "Yun Chang's temperament...he won't withdraw his troops until he sees the ambush with his own eyes, so..."

"I'll draw..." Huang Yueying reacted immediately, "I'll draw the enemy's defense map, and then borrow a mechanical bird to bring it to General Guan and ask him to send people to investigate. Once detected, he will realize that we are ourselves People...will listen to us, which is more useful than anything else!"

As she spoke, Huang Yueying recalled the locations of the campfires she had written down while flying over the camp last night... combined with the ambush in sight, she quickly drew a sketch in the rattan basket.

Xu Shu opened his arms to block the strong wind for Huang Yueying.

When Huang Yueying was about to finish drawing, Xu Shu stood up and looked at the entire battlefield again.

Looking again at this time, Guan Yu's army has once again shortened the distance from your Guan family camp.

Because of the fear of an ambush, this army did not move very fast and was even a little cautious.

The hot air balloon is slightly faster than them.

Of course, these distances are clearly visible in the sky, but it will take a long time to catch up.

At this moment, Xu Shu could no longer care about his "fear of heights". He looked at the red cubes that were still moving on the ground, let out a long breath, and said with emotion: "Yun Chang, you must be slower. Bar!"

——"Boom, boom."

The sound of the hooves of the cavalry team of more than 10,000 people led by Huang Zhong became more and more roaring, resounding like thunder.

There is an ambush ahead that needs to be avoided.

There are pursuers behind who need to be shaken off.

Under this extreme rush, each knight faced the strong wind with a solemn and resolute face. They were the most elite team drawn from the original troops of Lu Jiajun, Nanyang Army, and Guan Lin.

They formed this cavalry team not long ago.

But cavalry... is always a symbol of glory.

Some of them are crossbowmen, and they carry crossbows on their backs...

Their hearts were pounding and their armor was soaked with sweat.

But every knight dared not stop his horse or slow down. They knew that their rescue operation could only be achieved if they were extremely fast!

"General, we intercepted a letter from the enemy heading towards Xinye City."

Along the way, a detective caught up with Huang Zhong and reported the contents of the letter.

"not good--"

Huang Zhong's expression changed suddenly, and the soldiers around him didn't even dare to take a breath when they saw Old General Huang's appearance.

At this time, Huang Zhong just chanted loudly: "They actually want to attack Xinye City..."

The sudden change in Wei Jun's actions cast a thick layer of haze on Huang Zhong's heart.

"Pass my military order, hurry up... we must arrive at Xinye City before dusk!"

"Here...here..."

Pang De stood outside the north gate of Xinye City.

When the Wei army withdrew from Xinye City, they gave an empty city to Guan Ping and Guan Xing.

There are also crumbling city gates. The three gates of Xinye City are almost completely defenseless and will collapse upon impact.

Counting it all together, today...is the fifth day since this sudden change occurred.

There is no food in Xinye City, and the entire situation is developing towards an increasingly unfavorable situation.

In fact, Pang De's heart also cast a shadow, especially when he thought of his four sons who died tragically in the military camp under the firing of thousands of crossbows. This... always made him feel sad.

Pang De is not young anymore, and he may not be able to have another son at such an age.

From this point of view, the death of four sons in one fell swoop has destroyed the roots of his old Pang family!

On the side, Qin Lang, Pound's deputy general and the son of Qin Yilu, the number one cuckold in the Three Kingdoms, quickly returned to Pound's side after seeing a messenger and said: "General Pang, this is General Wenyuan's military order to attack the city. "

Hearing this order to "attack the city"...

Pang De was startled and asked doubtfully: "Isn't it a siege of the city for reinforcements? Why is it suddenly allowed to siege the city again?"

Qin Lang said: "What the messenger said is also weird. He said that Guan Lin sent an army, which somehow bypassed the ambush in the Han River, and galloped towards Xinye along the Baihe River. There were more than 10,000 people, all cavalry..."

"Cavalry?" Pound was a little surprised, "When did that evil thief Guan Lin have so many cavalry?"

"What's even more mysterious is that this cavalry not only avoided the ambush in the Han River, but also avoided all the ambush along the Baihe River. This is even more unbelievable and evil."

As Qin Lang spoke, he felt that his words were quite unreliable and unbelievable.

Pang De pondered for a moment, and because he mentioned Guan Lin, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and said bitterly: "Are there not many incredible things that have happened to the evil thief Guan Lin?"

For a moment, Pang De thought of millions of crossbow bolts falling from the sky in an hour.

this…

Qin Lang didn't expect Pang De to become so angry all of a sudden.

Speaking of which, Qin Lang's father Qin Yilu was only cheated by his lord Cao Cao, not killed. Now Qin Lang's mother, Mrs. Du, gave birth to Qin Lang's two half-brothers, Cao Lin and Cao Gun.

Therefore…

Qin Lang could feel the pain of his biological father being raped, but he could not feel the pain of losing a loved one like Pang De.

He could only ask tentatively: "General... should we still attack the city? It seems... there are still more than 4,000 Guan family remnant troops in Xinye City. Although they have run out of food,... they still have enough arrows from the previous test. I think... It’s a tough guy.”

Qin Lang didn't want to attack the city because he thought that if it took another two days, these Guan family soldiers would starve to death!

However, at this moment, Pang De's eyes narrowed and his tone was cold.

"Attack? Why not attack?"

"Isn't it just a tough bone?"

As he pondered, he thought of the pain of losing his son. Pang De's heart skipped a beat, and a vicious plan emerged out of extreme hatred. "Come here, drive over the thousand wounded soldiers of the Guan family who were captured during this period!"

At this moment, Pang De's eyes were full of fierceness, "Isn't the Jingzhou Army good at bows and crossbows? I want to see, General, whether this Guan family army will shoot arrows at their comrades?"

"Huh, haha...Huh! Hahahaha!"

Pound's laughter was mixed with a strong "cold snort", and he looked like a devil falling into the abyss.

The wall of Xinye City is nearly three feet tall. Guan Ping has checked the condition of the city gate and it is not reliable at all.

So, Guan Ping and his sergeants piled many heavy objects at the city gate, barely supporting the crumbling city gate.

Today, on the city tower, thousands of Guan family soldiers are readying their bows and arrows... hammering wood and stones, ready to fend off the enemy's attack.

As early as three days ago, Guan Ping ordered Xiaohu to distribute rations. The consequence of this was that the soldiers would not have enough to eat, but...if not, the rations that he had carried with him for three days would not have lasted until the reinforcements arrived.

certainly…

In today's situation? Will there be support?

It's a mystery!

"well…"

Guan Ping looked at the enemy troops surrounding Xinye City, and at the extremely bright banner with the word "Pang" in the enemy's tent.

That is the flag of Wei general Pang De.

Guan Ping knew that the Guan family army and Pang De had a son-killing feud, and this battle was probably going to end badly.

"Brother, it's all my fault... It's because of me that the entire Guan family army suffered such losses. Brother, you can punish me, you can even kill me."

The speaker is Guan Xing...

He lowered his head, looking very annoyed. He was also... also greedy for success, or in other words, he... he was envious and jealous of his fourth brother.

No matter what, he shouldn't... shouldn't act on his own, causing the entire Guan Family Army's defense to collapse overnight.

only…

Guan Xing's voice just came out, and with a "pop", Guan Ping slapped him in the face.

"What's the use of talking about this now?" Guan Ping said coldly: "You are guilty of disobeying military discipline, and I am also guilty of condoning it. How many comrades of the Guan family army have died due to your negligence? How many of these comrades have died due to your negligence? How many separated families are behind me? I...I...well...if it weren't for those around me, because of these comrades in Xinye City who are implicated by you and me, I would have already apologized with my life...huh...huh..."

Even though this was Guan Xing's countless apology, Guan Ping's attitude remained the same.

They are both sinners!

Guan Ping has slapped Guan Xing countless times...

But, do you want to punish him?

How did Guan Ping feel down?

How does one sinner punish another sinner?

"Sigh... don't say these things during this period. You can think about how to break out when you have the time..." Guan Ping sighed again, "When we break out, you and I will plead guilty in front of my father. If you want to kill or behead me, , it all depends on father!”

this…

Guan Ping's words made Guan Xing feel even more ashamed. He seemed to have foreseen that no matter... no matter what, he would not be able to escape this guilt or die as an apology!

After Guan Ping's words, the entire tower fell into a deathly silence.

In fact, during this period, how could they not break through?

But the enemy general is Pound!

The enemy's strength was several times theirs, and they were ambushed in the woods outside the city. When those arrows were fired... the Guan army could only be forced back again and again.

There were originally 6,000 soldiers, but after two breakthroughs, only 4,000 were left, half of whom were injured.

Comrades fall every day...

This made Guan Ping feel very uncomfortable. He looked at the sky that had turned dark again and sighed deeply. Now, there are not many cards in his hand that he can play.

The sky is getting dark and everything is silent.

Suddenly, a few hundred meters away from the city gate, a black shadow the size of an ant appeared, running quickly towards Xinye City.

They cried and shouted, and their wails resounded throughout the land!

"It's from Guan Jiajun——"

"It's those people from Guan's army who were captured by Cao's army——"

Suddenly, someone on the tower exclaimed.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall all looked around. Through the weak torches on the city tower, everyone could see nearly a thousand soldiers of the Guan family in tattered clothes, running towards the city gate as if they were dying.

It is not accurate to say that he is...a sergeant of the Guan family.

Because no matter which army you are in, in addition to soldiers, there will also be a group of people who are responsible for washing, cooking, cleaning, and cleaning. These people are responsible for transporting grain and grass...responsible for repairing military camps.

According to historical records, when Liu Bei fought in the Battle of Hanzhong, "men fought and women lucked" throughout Bashu. The "luck" here refers to the entire logistics...

Now, those who appear under the city tower are the logistics personnel of the Guan family army. To be precise, they are not soldiers, they are just laborers and coolies in the military camp...

They are personnel serving the entire Guan Family Army...

And they, who were helpless, were the most cowardly and weakest people on the entire battlefield. They were originally captured in Pound's hands...but inexplicably, Pound actually chose to let them go.

They ran towards Xinye City like crazy...

As they got closer, Guan Ping could see that their expressions were full of fear and pain, mixed with a hint of joy of escaping. At least...if they entered Xinye City, then...then they would be safe.

"General Guan, we are the laborers of the Guan family army, don't shoot the arrows... don't shoot the arrows..."

"Let us go in, open the city gate, let us go in!"

"Brother..."

Guan Xing looked at Guan Ping, and all the soldiers also looked at Guan Ping.

But Guan Ping looked solemn, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot straight towards a dark corner.

This arrow stopped all the logistical work.

The entire charging team stood still for an instant.

"This Young Master Guan is quite alert..."

A voice came out, it was Qin Lang's voice, and this voice also made the faces of the soldiers on the city wall change.

It turned out that behind the logistical work of the Guan army, thousands of Wei troops had already reached a place less than a hundred meters away from the city wall under the cover of night. If...they were allowed to advance, then...these hidden Wei troops would most likely rush into the city. Go to the city, break open the crumbling city gate, and escape the arrows from Guan Jiajun.

"Fire arrows..." Guan Ping looked at the distance and ordered to fire arrows. Thousands of arrows were fired at once, and a large number of arrows fell in front of these teams, which were mixed with the Guan Jiajun's logistics workers and the Wei army.

Guan Ping's voice was like a tiger's roar, "Whoever it is? If you dare to take a step forward again, the arrow will have no eyes."

At this moment, Guan Ping's eyes were slightly glaring, and there were veins popping out on his forehead. He was obviously very angry. He had followed his father Guan Yu in fighting for many years, and this little trick of Wei Jun could not escape his eyes.

Over the years, Cao Cao lamented the suffering of the people, chanting "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles", while he asked the Wei army to rush the captured people and prisoners to the battlefield...

If the enemy fires arrows, the people and prisoners will die first. These people and prisoners can bring the Wei army closer to the city.

If the soldiers in the city go out to rescue them, they will easily be ambushed and the city will be captured by the enemy.

Such a method is in line with Cao Cao's saying "I would rather teach me to betray the world than let the world betray me"...

certainly…

If the soldiers in the city stay behind closed doors, they may continue to fire arrows.

That's easy to do. Cao Jun will whip these civilians and prisoners in front of the soldiers guarding the city, and let them continue to come forward to act as human shields, or torture these prisoners outside the city in front of the soldiers guarding the city...

The behavior is so outrageous that it is difficult to describe.

It was precisely with this in mind that despite blocking the first wave of prisoners, Guan Ping's face remained as ugly as ever.

"Pass my military order, no matter who reaches the shooting range, shoot to death!"

Guan Ping said coldly.

"What?" Guan Xing...and some other generals were confused, not understanding the meaning of this military order.

Although the people under the city are not the sergeants of the Guan Family Army, but the logistics workers are doing the same thing as the Guan Family Army, and both are prospering and losing, right?

But before they question...

Soon, the situation changed again.

More than a hundred Wei cavalry began to charge towards these prisoners angrily...

"Run away!"

Accompanied by panic and screams.

The prisoners dispersed in a hurry and ran in the opposite direction as hard as they could. However...how could they outrun the war horses with only two legs?

How could Pang De let them go so easily? Cao Cao was cruel, and Pang De, who lived in Guanzhong, had a heart of steel.

"Go on, drive away—"

After hearing his faint instructions, the sound of the drums changed, and a group of Wei cavalry formed a wild goose feather formation, surrounded these people, and drove them towards Xinye City...

They waved their long whips on horseback, and when they saw anyone trying to escape, they would lash out with the whip, causing their skin and flesh to be torn open, and screams to come.

These logistics prisoners of the Guan Army... they don't want to rush towards Xinye City.

They know... what it means to rush forward.

Shoot the arrows and they die!

If you don't fire arrows, the city will be destroyed and the Guan family's army will die!

This is a dilemma...

But... there was no mercy in the eyes of those Wei riders. If anyone was disobedient, they would just put a rope around their necks, then clamp the horse's belly hard and drag it forward.

A prisoner fell to the ground like this, and then was dragged backwards, stirring up dust all over the sky. The screams of screams stimulated everyone, and also stimulated every soldier of the Guan family on the tower.

These... are also colleagues!

"These beasts!"

Guan Xing couldn't bear it... he wished he could grab the Qinglong Sword and go out to rescue these comrades.

"How many more times will you be impulsive?" Guan Ping said bitterly: "Have you forgotten that this time... is it because of your impulsiveness that they became prisoners and were tortured by the enemy?"

For a moment, all the Guan family soldiers who were eager to try fell silent...

Without Guan Ping's order, no one dared to act rashly.

Because they know that being soft-hearted at this time will only make them prisoners of the enemy.

Then on the next battlefield, they will be the ones tortured under the city tower!

--"This this…"

——"This is...what a despairing battlefield?" 』
