In Juyi Village, as a black eagle flew down, the armory not far from the village gate opened its heavy door, and a row of crossbows were pushed out, along a winding slide behind the city wall directly to the top of the city.

The soldier of Qu Yi who was on guard near the city gate discovered something unusual and reported it to the general in charge immediately. The general then organized the soldiers to form a battle formation in front of the camp as quickly as possible.

A row of long vertical shields, each one as tall as a person, stood in the front. Behind each shield stood two soldiers, with spears sticking out from the gaps between the shields, like a hedgehog with its spines exploded. Behind them stood rows of archers, their bodies slightly leaning back, their bows tilted forty-five degrees toward the sky. No matter whether the enemy was cavalry or infantry, as soon as the people inside came out, they would be shot like hedgehogs in an instant.

The defensive formation left by Qu Yi was perfect. In the narrow aisle in front of the village, two thousand men could easily defend against five thousand soldiers. However, what neither Qu Yi nor Xu You had expected was that Juyi Village had a three-bow crossbow whose power far exceeded that of the crossbows of this era.

Guan Hai walked up to the top of the city wall, took a quick glance below, and then ordered the formation to be broken.

The bowstring of the crossbow was pulled tight, and as the command flag was waved, dozens of treadle arrows tore through the air, whistling out with the northwest wind. The sharp arrowheads pierced into the shields, and the huge impact force directly pushed the soldiers behind to the ground.

The general was dumbfounded. They started fighting without saying a word and won the battle right from the start?

The place where Qu Yi's army was lined up was only about two hundred steps away from the city gate. The power of the treadle arrows could be imagined when shooting at such a close distance. Some arrows even penetrated the heavy shields directly and pierced the shields together.

After five consecutive rounds of arrows, the enemy's formation was completely disrupted, the gate of Juyi Village was wide open, and 1,500 Golden Eagle Guards rushed out like a flood and a beast.

The result was no surprise. The army formation that was shot down by the crossbows had no ability to resist under the iron hooves of the Golden Eagle Guards. The key was that these soldiers had no mounts and could not even escape. When Xu You vaguely heard screams and ran over breathlessly from the classroom, he only saw corpses left on the ground outside the city, and the second in command had already led 1,500 elite cavalry to gallop towards Jinyang.

Have you been fooled?

This was Xu You’s first reaction. After a moment, he seemed to understand something, turned around and ran towards the city.

Li Gui was outside directing the soldiers to clear the bodies. Xu You was stopped inside the door and could not leave. He waved and shouted into the distance, "Third Master, Third Master, I have many questions. Can you help me solve them?"

Li Gui waved his hand, and the gatekeeper let Xu You out. Xu You strode to Li Gui's side and asked urgently, "Third Master, could you please tell me if the true owner of this village is Lü Fengxian of Bingzhou?"

Li Gui smiled and shook his head.

"Impossible! Even if it's not Lu Fengxian himself, it must be one of his men. Who is that mysterious boss?"

Xu You looked at Li Gui anxiously. He urgently needed to know whether his guess was correct. This was related to whether Qu Yi and even his lord could escape from Bingzhou this time.

That’s right, it’s about escaping, not winning!

If this group of bandits were Lu Bu's men, then they had deliberately shown weakness before. They must have set up a tight net in Jinyang, waiting for Qu Yi to fall into it.

Li Gui said, "Since you will never be able to return to Yuan Shao in this lifetime, it's okay to tell you that the head of my family is Madam Lu Fengxian!"

boom!

Xu You was stunned on the spot. Is there any difference between Lü Fengxian and his wife? Is there any difference?

Of course there is a difference. One kills people visibly, while the other kills people invisibly!

Outside Jinyang City, Qu Yi spent several days to figure out the terrain around the city and the defenses on the city walls.

The terrain in the western half of the south of the city and outside the west of the city is the most open and flat, which is conducive to the deployment of the army. However, these two places also have the most city defense equipment. Although it is difficult to see what equipment they are, it is clear that the city defense is nothing more than crossbows.

There are lakes and moats in the north of the city, which cannot accommodate a large number of troops. The east of the city is completely surrounded by a moat, so troops can be assembled, but it is not easy to cross the river which is several meters wide.

Qu Yi also inquired about the situation when Zhang Yan attacked the city. He was first shot by a crossbow, then burned by coal, and then the Feixiong Army plundered the rear formation. Finally, he was splashed with feces when he retreated.

Although he only knew the general process, Qu Yi was a veteran of hundreds of battles, so he could infer that Zhang Yan was mainly defeated by the Feixiong Army. Zhang Yan's bandits had almost no protective gear, and their organization and discipline were not strict. They were attacked by this group of wolf-like cavalry. It would be strange if they did not collapse!

In the past few days, in addition to understanding Jinyang City, Qu Yi also sent scouts to explore other places around it, but did not find any garrisons, which means that all the troops in Jinyang are in the city.

Qu Yi has always been very arrogant, especially after he knew that the person guarding the city was actually a woman, he looked down on her even more. He decided to play a game of cat and mouse with Lu Bu's woman, first luring out her cavalry and destroying them, and then slowly teasing her.

"General, Madam Lu Bu would like to see you outside the East Gate."

Qu Yi was in his tent thinking about how to lure and kill the cavalry in the city when a soldier came in to report.

"Meeting?" Qu Yi smiled mischievously, "Is that woman asking for surrender?"

He stood up and said, "Well, since Cao Mengde is so obsessed with this woman, she must be quite pretty. It would be worthwhile to go and see her!"

Qu Yi brought a group of guards to the outside of the moat at the east gate. Across the moat, which was several feet wide, he saw a woman standing on the opposite bank, guarded by several soldiers.

"Little doctor?"

Qu Yi, who was originally planning to tease the other party, was stunned after seeing her face. The outline and facial features of the face opposite were exactly the same as those of the young doctor.

"Is he really a young doctor?"

Qu Heng, who was standing by, was also stunned. After a long moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Qu Yi and warned him seriously, "This must be her twin brother in disguise, trying to use a beauty trap on you. Master, please don't be fooled."

Qu Yi came to his senses and looked her over from head to toe with his hawk-like sharp eyes.

Qu Yi has slept with many women in his life, and he can still tell the difference between men and women. This is a woman, and her belly is slightly protruding, and she is pregnant.

"General Qu, long time no see. I hope you are well!" Zhang Mo looked at him with a smile, completely unconcerned about his unscrupulous gaze on her.

"Little doctor!" Qu Yi narrowed his eyes. As soon as he heard her voice, he could confirm that the woman in front of him, who was as beautiful as if carved out of white jade, was the little doctor.

"General Qu, you still remember me, but I wonder if you still remember that I was your benefactor. Is this how you repay me for saving your life?"

Qu Yi yelled, "You woman, you deceived me so badly. How did you get this look on your face? If I had known you looked like this, I would have taken you away by force."

After he finished yelling, he asked again, "Are you a wife or a concubine now?"
