Chapter 460: Across the ocean, a clever plan to see you
Chapter 460: Across the ocean, I came to see you with my clever tips
As Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang expected, Cao Cao couldn't wait any longer, so in the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao's army assembled nearly 100,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on the north, southeast and three sides of Xinye.
Xiahou Dun took the lead and was invincible, and Xiahou Yuan also made perfect shots. With the cooperation of the two of them, it seemed that the gods were unstoppable, and the east gate of Xinye looked shaky.
But just at this moment, a red-faced and long-bearded general appeared. Under his command, the city wall that had almost been captured was quickly recaptured by Liu Bei's army. Xiahou Dun, who was fighting fiercely with Liu Bei's army on the city, saw the situation. He wanted to confront him head-on, but was forced to pull down the city wall by Xia Houyuan.
"Brother! What are you doing! If you kill Guan Yu, there will be no one in this new country who can stop our army!"
Yes, the red-faced and long-bearded general was Guan Yu, but it was obvious that Xiahou Dun was overwhelmed by the previous humiliation. If he really wanted to fight, he would probably be beheaded by Guan Yu first.
Xia Houyuan didn't say anything, and pointed directly at the scene below the city.
The city gate opened. It was not their army that broke through the city gate, but the other side took the initiative to attack. A burly man with a face as black as carbon rushed out waving a spear. Cao Cao's soldiers rushed to stop him. , but was thrown away by the man with a spear.
"Wow, wow, wow! I am Zhang Fei from Yan! Who dares to fight with me! Ahhhhh!"
Zhang Fei came out. At this critical juncture, in the short interval when the thunderbolt chariot attack did not take effect, Zhang Fei led a cavalry army to rush around like a wolf charging into a herd of sheep. .
"They dare to go out of the city to fight!"
Xiahou Dun was shocked. He said he was brave, but found that his army's momentum was actually suppressed.
Suddenly news came from around me:
"Report! General, the two generals Yu Jin and Xu Huang from the north and south of the city are blocked from attacking the city. I'm afraid they won't be able to support us!"
Xiahou Dun felt a little dizzy after hearing the bad news one after another.
The other party seemed to know all their arrangements, whether it was a thunderbolt chariot, a ladder siege, or...
It's as if the opponent has been predicting their actions, and this battle cannot be fought head-on!
"It's weird, weird..."
Just when Xiahou Dun once again chopped down a defending soldier who rushed up to attack the city, at three o'clock in the morning, from the west and north of the city wall, a message suddenly came from the city wall to withdraw troops.
Dang Dang Dang——
——
Leaving the helmet on his head, Xiahou Dun was covered in sweat, but his body was really exhausted. What made Xiahou Dun even more unhappy was that the battle was really frustrating.
They were not defeated, but there was no progress in the battle during the day. The city wall was fought over and over again, and finally returned to Liu Bei's hands.
"Hey... I'm so angry..."
Xiahou Dun was breathing heavily, and Yu Jin, Xu Huang and others also arrived slowly. The fatigue on their faces showed the strangeness of today's battle.
After hearing the news, Cao Cao and a group of counselors and generals came to the tent. They saw the people who were fighting today and said nothing.
As the commander-in-chief, Xiahou Dun immediately appealed to Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister! If you give me just one more day, I will definitely be able to lead my soldiers to capture this new territory! Today... Liu Bei got lucky today. He is always like a prophet, anticipating our actions... "
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he said, and Xiahou Dun felt that he was a fool.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao shook his head:
"Yuan Rang, thank you for your hard work."
"Today...Liu Bei's army is indeed a bit strange. Although we are watching the battle, we can see that the other party has changed from its previous looseness. This orderly fighting method cannot be commanded by Liu Bei-"
Cao Cao frowned and said.
Jia Xu simply told Xiahou Dun and others not to blame themselves too much.
"General Xiahou, we suspect that there is an expert in the opponent's formation to give guidance."
"The other party knows the configuration of our army well, whether it is a thunderbolt chariot or a tiger and leopard cavalry..."
"this…!"
Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what he heard from Jia Xu.
After watching for a week, he found that Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others also had solemn faces, and he realized that Jia Xu was not joking at all.
"I feel the same way. My eldest brother and I have fought against Liu Bei's army several times, but we have never felt the pressure like today. The other side seems to be a different army. I guess someone must be guiding them from behind."
"No wonder...no wonder Liu Bei, a shy turtle, dared to go out of the city to fight. I thought that with the 300,000 troops pressing down on the border, Liu Bei would definitely flee. But if the opponent is determined to defend the city, what should we do?"
Cao Ren did not participate in the battle, but he was also very anxious.
Cao Ren and Cao Chun had always led the tiger and leopard cavalry, and they had to fight on the plains. When cavalry attacked a city, there was no difference at all from infantry.
Not to mention the Qingzhou soldiers led by Zhang Liao, which is their ace infantry. As long as the new field is not left, they cavalry generals will have no chance to display their skills. Thinking about it, their heads are getting big.
——
Three days passed by in a flash.
The attack organized by Cao Cao in the past three days must have been fierce, but this little Xinye just couldn't be taken.
Finally, on the night of the third day, when Cao Cao was suffering from a splitting headache, a very long military call came from far away from the camp to the commander's tent.
"Prime Minister!!!"
This roar was like thunder, which made many people in Cao Cao's army miss him very much.
Xu Chu arrived. After nearly ten days, he galloped all the way south from Yecheng. During this period, three good horses were exhausted. Xu Chu finally arrived.
"Prime Minister!!"
There was another loud roar, and many soldiers in the camp leaned out of the tent to see what happened.
Cao Cao already had a headache, but he was shocked by the sound and almost fainted.
However, upon hearing Xu Chu's voice, Cao Cao cheered up, put on a fur coat, and walked out of the tent.
Xu Chu was still honest and honest. When he saw Cao Cao, he got off his horse and his fat body trembled three times due to the impact. Everyone who looked at him pursed their lips and laughed.
"Prime Minister, I can finally see you!"
"Haha, you Xu Chu, why don't you stay in Yecheng and guard the villa for Brother Yi? What are you doing in Xinye?"
Cao Cao patted Xu Chu's increasingly strong arm, but there was no hint of blame in his words.
Xu Chu was his beloved general. Seeing Xu Chu at this time really made him feel a lot better.
"Prime Minister, I was assigned by Mr. Yi to come here specifically to give you that ingenious plan. You can't blame me for leaving my post without permission, right?"
"What! A brilliant idea?"
Cao Cao couldn't control his voice. It was probably the first time he lost his voice in the past few days.
But it happened so suddenly.
Just when Cao Cao was at his wits' end, Yi Xiaotian's ingenious plan finally came to Cao Cao, thousands of miles away.
Cao Cao suddenly felt a little relieved.
"As expected, we still have to rely on Brother Yi in the end."
