Sima Zhao held the edict of Cao Pi's abdication as if he had found a treasure, and immediately ordered his most trusted person to be sent to Yanjin to hand it over to his father. At this time, the anger in Sima Zhao's chest finally calmed down a lot, and he spoke calmly.
Many people addressed Cao Pi as Your Majesty. If he were not called Your Majesty, then Cao Pi would not be qualified to write an edict to abdicate. Sima Zhao was very clear about this.
Liu Ye saw the wind and immediately congratulated Sima Zhao. In full view of everyone, he abandoned Cao Pi and followed Sima Zhao away chatting and laughing. Those who were still loyal to Wei really wanted to kill Liu Ye when they saw this scene.
Damn it. Now that Cao Pi has made a promise, it can be said that Yecheng belongs to his family, and of course he has to take back his family's things.
Sima Zhao gave the order, and the army set up camp outside Yecheng. They put away their underestimation and showoff during the day, and put on a stern face. Liu Ye said flatteringly: "There are only more than 10,000 Longjun in the city, and among them there are
There are seven to eight thousand surrendered soldiers. According to calculations, the real dragon army will not exceed two thousand at most."
Sima Zhao nodded: "I have sent people to investigate. Long Fei sent three teams of soldiers and horses to burn our food and grass. This Huang Xu was the one who burned the wild food and grass. When he stole the Yellow River, his number was about a thousand. With a thousand people
Just wanting to defend Yecheng is simply a fool’s errand!”
"General, are you ready to attack the city?" Liu Ye said hurriedly: "But our army has no siege equipment. The walls of Ye city are high and the trenches are deep. I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack. Even if we climb the city, we will suffer heavy casualties. There is no way to capture Ye city."
Sima Zhao curled up his lips and sneered: "Master Sikong, don't you know that there is a trick in the art of war called counterattack? Since Lu Xun has come up with a way for us to capture Ye City, why don't we use it?" Sima Zhao
He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was dark outside, with dark clouds covering the sky, and the stars did not dare to show their heads. Sima Zhao continued: "The Dragon Army has not rested for several days. They should have a good dream tonight."
As Sima Zhao expected, the soldiers of the Dragon Army basically did not have a good rest after crossing the river. Especially after entering Yecheng, just as they had established a foothold, Sima Zhao's people arrived. They were busy again, sorting out weapons and reinforcements.
The soldiers of the city defense regiment kept silent and worked hard. The soldiers who surrendered could not bear it, and many people complained.
Lu Xun sighed: "Okay, let everyone rest! Send the two hundred personal guards to keep watch tonight!"
Du Yu said: "Sima Zhao was taught by Sima Yi and knows the art of war well. In my opinion, Sima Zhao will definitely attack the city tonight, and it will be difficult to resist with just these two hundred people!"
Huang Xu also said: "Yes! There are four city gates. There are only 50 people who can't get through the 200 people. There are 20,000 soldiers and horses below. If Sima Zhao attacks the city tonight, we will be defeated. Let these guys hold on and pass.
It’s not too late to rest tonight and tomorrow!”
Lu Xun shook his head: "The soldiers are tired. If we use them, there are two major problems. One is to leave the post without permission, which is more dangerous. The other is, what is the difference between our Long Army and the Wei Army? They are originally Wei people. If they are dissatisfied, the consequences will be
I won’t tell you what it is, you all should know.”
Huang Xu and Du Yu looked at each other, and Lu Xun made sense. The surrendered soldiers were not his troops, and the center of his heart might be gone at any time. Instead of letting these people control life and death, it was better to use his own people to rest assured. Lu Xun
After repeated insistence, there were only 200 men deployed in Yecheng at night, and the other soldiers rested on the city. If there was an emergency, these 200 men could serve as a warning or as a vanguard to block the attack.
It was a pitch-black night, and it was hard to see anything. In order to prevent Sima Zhao from seeing clearly the situation at the top of the city, Lu Xun ordered no bonfires to be lit at the top of the city, not even an oil lamp. Huang Xu couldn't sleep, and walked back and forth with a knife in his hand.
Walking around the city, he looked at the movements of the Wei army camp on the ground from time to time. With two hundred people guarding the city, he still felt uneasy. Even though he was extremely sleepy, he still tried to hold on.
Lu Xun and Du Yu couldn't sleep either. Lu Xun studied the map carefully and calculated how long it would take for Long Fei to reach Yecheng after receiving his letter and sending troops. If everything goes well or not very well, he also estimated the time for Sima Yi's army to arrive.
, imagine what method can be used to block the tidal wave of Wei troops. Although Du Yu was lying down, his heart was complicated. This strategy was his own, and he would be the biggest contributor if he succeeded. If he was defeated, it would be a small matter, and the Du family's family members would still be there.
In the hands of Long Fei. Although Long Fei is not a cruel and easy-to-kill master, no one can say what will happen in the future! If Wei is undefeated, he will be an eternal traitor.
"Dang, dang, dang..." The rapid sound made everyone tremble. Lu Xun and Du Yu quickly stood up, drew out their swords, and rushed out of the door. There was a fire under the city wall, and the Wei army had already rushed to the city. I don't know what happened.
The wood and stones obtained from the local area were just thrown into the moat, while the archers behind them kept firing arrows upwards.
"Do you want to board the city?" Lu Xun grabbed a soldier who was running wildly. The soldier was at a loss and shook his head repeatedly. Lu Xun shouted: "Tighten your defense, be careful of a sneak attack by the Wei army!"
The soldiers and horses filling the river were in the south of the city, right on the side of the Wei army's camp. The loud noise alarmed the Dragon Army. The patrolling soldiers discovered it first and then alerted the soldiers. The soldiers who were still sleeping tried to get up. When almost all the Dragon Army
When everyone was in a state of tension, the Wei army who filled the river left a dozen corpses and withdrew. Huang Xu laughed: "Cowards! They only do these sneaky things! It's okay, continue to rest!"
When everyone just lay down and seemed to be sleeping, there was another "dang, dang, dang" alarm sound. This time it was at the east gate. The sound was so loud that it was impossible to sleep. The soldiers were in panic again, waiting for everyone
Gathering at the east gate, the Wei army retreated quietly. One after another, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, sometimes in the north, sometimes in the south. As long as the Dragon Army had just rested, someone would inevitably attack.
Lu Xun was tortured several times and finally understood: "Sima Zhao is trying to make us exhausted, and the soldiers will not be able to rest at all if this continues!"
Du Yu said: "We can send people to hold on. If it's filling the river, we can leave it alone. If it's an attack on the city, it's not too late to call the police!"
"No!" Huang Xu said: "Sima Zhao is just filling the river to attack the city. If we don't stop him, he will fall into the trap. I will take a pair of soldiers out of the city to ambush the Wei camp and let them have a taste of being harassed."
After Huang Xu finished speaking, he turned around and left, completely ignoring the shouts of Lu Xun and Du Yu.
Looking at Huang Xu's back, Du Yu shook his head: "We have really fallen into Sima Zhao's plan!"
Lu Xun was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Du Yu said: "Among our army, General Huang Xu is the main force. The generals are courageous. The courage is no longer in the army. The Wei army is attacking in a large scale. Who can not make the soldiers afraid?"
Lu Xun was not worried at all. Instead, he smiled and patted Du Yu on the shoulder: "It seems that you still don't know the tradition of our Dragon Army. If Sima Zhao dares to come now, I guarantee that he will never get any benefits."
Sima Zhao is what Du Yu guessed. After staying with Long Jun on the bank of the Yellow River for many days, Sima Zhao specialized in studying Long Fei's men, especially these budding young generals. Huang Xu was brave and Lu Xun was wise.
Within the calculation, the dragon army was exhausted in the hope that Huang Xu could leave the city and then send an army to hold him back, so that he could attack the city with confidence.
Siege warfare is different from field warfare, and resourcefulness plays a limited role in it. Military strength is the key. Without the "courage" of the Long Army, he does not believe that he can defeat the 20,000 elite Wei troops. When Huang, the scout who was ambushing at the gate,
When Sima Zhao received the news from the city, he laughed loudly: "It's done! You all act according to the plan!"
The Wei army moved, and Lu Xun, who was standing on the city wall, could see it clearly. The Wei camp, which was originally dark, was suddenly brightly lit. Through the light, he could clearly see that the Wei army's troops were gathering quickly. Lu Xun bit his lip.
, brows solemn. The real battle has only begun now, and the victory or defeat depends on tonight.
"Command the three armies to prepare for the project! Whoever enters the city first will be crowned a marquis!" Sima Zhao ordered loudly. The morale of the Wei army was suddenly lifted, and the entire camp roared.
The first ones to leave the camp were the sword and shield bearers. As bait, the sword and shield bearers were the candidates to induce the archers to fire their arrows, and also to protect the troops who climbed the city behind them. Next came the troops who climbed the city carrying the ladder. There were many of these people. They had just been built
The good simple city climbing ladder has been wobbling for a few times, and it feels like it is about to fall apart. Apart from these simple climbing ladders and a simple crash car, Wei Jun really doesn't have anything else.
The last ones walking at the end were the archers, who, like the artillery, were engaged in fire suppression. As soon as they entered the shooting range, the archers began to fire arrows continuously. However, the Wei army shot from bottom to top, and they could not shoot as far as the Long army from top to bottom.
The archery skills on both sides were about the same, because the archers of the Dragon Army were also surrendered soldiers of the Wei Army. Although the moat was not filled, it was not too deep. The water was only up to the knees when wading, and the Wei Army rushed over with shouts.
Lu Xun drew his sword: "Meet the enemy!"
The Dragon Army moved. The Guards Regiment led the soldiers and began to resist. Long Fei's Guards Regiment were all veterans of the war. Unlike Wei's Forbidden Army, the Guards Regiment was also considered a Forbidden Army, but they participated in the war.
.Continuously participating in battles is still the most powerful unit in the entire Dragon Army. Just because there is a personal guard soldier and a soldier following behind them, they don't feel the slightest fear. Wherever their captain goes, they follow!
As the Wei army arrived at the city, all kinds of defensive equipment on the city began to pour down. The dragon army's archers started, and the contest between the two sides entered a fierce stage from the beginning. Screams, shouts, the collision of swords,
The pounding of stones and various sounds mixed together. At this time, people are no longer human. The primitive wildness emerges from the hiding place, and it turns people into beasts in an instant.
Although Lu Xun was not as brave as Huang Xu and could not even catch up with Dian Man and Xu Yi, he still charged with swords and constantly directed his soldiers to where they were needed most. Only then did Du Yu understand why Lu Xun was not worried about Huang
Xu left. Huang Xu left. The original captain was the commander. The captain killed hundreds of generals in the battle. The Dragon Army will never need a military god, because they are all military gods.
