Before dawn, Xiangyang City still exudes the majesty of a majestic city.
Bluestone bricks, green moss, ancient paths leading to tranquility... If it weren't for the war, Xiangyang at this moment would probably be spending its new day in tranquility and peace.
However, Cao Cao and the ministers behind him, who were ascending the tower at this moment, did not have such a state of mind——
For two days, because Cao Cao and others had been pretending to be depressed in the city, Ma Liang, who saw this, did not think that their plan had been discovered at all.
In the past two days, Yi Xiaotian, led the craftsmen in the workshop, and the county soldiers who had always been "useless" built a fortification that could truly withstand thousands of troops.
To the west of Xiangyang City...the dark cloth covered all the scenery for miles around.
Covered like a curtain, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, who were hiding in the mountains in the distance, suddenly felt a little panicked.
"Then...what is that? Did it just appear last night?"
Zhao Yun looked at Xiangyang City's protruding "arm" in shock - the miles-long curtain, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Is it possible that the military advisor's plan has been exposed?"
"It shouldn't be..."
Zhao Yun couldn't figure it out. They had obviously rushed to Xiangyang as quickly as possible. The lightly-armed light cavalry could travel three hundred miles a day and two hundred miles night. In two days and one night, no matter how quick the opponent's reaction was, they would not be able to defeat him.
No one can catch up with their speed.
"Are there spies in the army?"
Zhang Fei punched the tree, no matter what... Xiangyang City seemed to have responded... and it was impossible for them to ride their horses across Fanshui in the east of the city...
"I don't know...but now we seem to have no choice but to bite the bullet!"
Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and said this to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei thought for a moment and nodded heavily...
"There is nothing to be afraid of. There are a total of five thousand soldiers and horses in their city. There is absolutely no reason for them to go out to fight with us. The black cloth must be just a cover-up!"
"No matter what it is, just run over it!"
Zhang Fei suddenly roared, holding a Zhangba snake spear in one hand and raising it high in the other hand - if there was anyone else who could compete with Xu Chu in terms of voice, in the entire late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was Zhang Fei who could take the top spot.
"The whole army listens to the order! The victory or defeat depends on today's battle. Follow me to kill the generals! Break through the blockade!"
Zhao Yun led the way with his spear and horse, followed by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of light cavalry, suddenly surged out of the mountain.
If the number of people exceeds 10,000, the mountains and fields are endless. Viewed from the top of the tower, the scene of tens of thousands of riders suddenly rushing out of the Xian Mountains in the distance is really a bit shaky.
only…
"Brother Yi... there is only Le Jin in the city, is it really okay?"
Cao Cao frowned. At this moment, he was absolutely convinced that Yi Xiaotian could lead them to victory... But he still couldn't figure out how far Yi Xiaotian had armed those county soldiers in two days -
—
Yi Xiaotian chuckled lightly. If he still had the feather fan in his hand at this time, Yi Xiaotian would definitely be more Crouching Dragon than Zhuge Liang.
However, Yi Xiaotian doesn't care about these so-called mysteries. The only reason why he stands in the tower instead of going to the battlefield in person is because he has full confidence, that's all.
"General Le is still resentful of Prime Minister Cao for leaving him in Xiangyang... No matter whether Chibi wins or loses, General Le is feeling depressed now. This battle... let's just watch his performance."
As Yi Xiaotian said this, the generals around him lowered their heads...
Because they knew that Le Jin originally wanted to go to Chibi with them to "earn military glory", but in the end he was named by Cao Cao and left behind.
However...the Battle of Chibi, where they thought they could easily gain military merit, ended in their defeat.
This time, no matter what, the opportunity will be given to Le Jin.
Although Yi Xiaotian has comforted them time and time again, saying that it was not their fault that the kit was lost, they always feel that Yi Xiaotian just pointed at their noses and said:
"I gave you a chance but you didn't use it!"
——
"So, Brother Yi's Moon-Chasing Repeating Crossbow has been arranged in the formation?"
"That's natural, Chaiyue Liannu is my trump card...but it's not just that..."
Yi Xiaotian smiled and pointed to the west of the city. There, the light cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were coming over to kill them.
Seeing this, everyone clenched their fists and sweated for Le Jin and the two thousand county soldiers below the city.
——The real art of deception is to deceive even one's own people. So far, even Cao Cao and the others don't know what terrifying fortifications there are in the west of the city, let alone Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and the others who are coming to kill them.
"kill!!"
The scenes of being chased by Cao's army and fleeing in the past flashed before the eyes of many veterans, and now they all turned into the killing intent in their hearts.
The cavalry fights hard, and if they are strong enough, they will rush to the end. No matter what enemies are in front, they will all become dead souls under the iron hoof. To be a cavalry, you must have such momentum...
However…
This point has already been clearly calculated by Yi Xiaotian.
It was these Qingqi that Yi Xiaotian was fighting that were gaining momentum!
Standing on the tower, Yi Xiaotian silently counted the distance and estimated the best range in his mind, and then...
"Let your enemies see what real firepower is!"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, and the messengers under the city immediately ordered——
Wow——
At this moment, the black curtain that stretched for miles suddenly fell.
What appeared in front of Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and the tens of thousands of cavalry were all iron caltrops and iron horses...
As the vanguard, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei had already expected that the enemy would use this method. Zhang Fei was indeed an enemy of ten thousand people. In the flash of lightning, Zhang Fei roared:
"Keep charging! I'll clear the obstacles!"
He pinched the horse's ribs with both legs, and the horse was greatly stimulated, and it neighed and ran away.
In the midst of the billowing smoke and dust, Zhang Fei's eyes widened in anger. Under the galloping horses, Zhang Fei jumped up and drew a dazzling cold light with his eight-foot-long snake spear. With a bang, he was directly inserted into the yellow sand...
It wasn't over yet. I saw Zhang Fei's foot on the stirrup, and his body was strangely hanging under the horse's belly. He held up a Zhangba snake spear in one hand and used a huge amount of force. With a roar, Zhang Fei directly shot the spear.
It flew away dozens of feet of caltrops.
Zhao Yun was not idle when he saw this. He followed Zhang Fei's example and quickly cleared a large open space for his cavalry to move forward.
When Cao Cao saw this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It's not like he doesn't have such fierce men under his command, but Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are indeed fierce generals that make him envious whenever they see them.
Many people exclaimed in surprise, but Yi Xiaotian was the only one in the room, watching this scene quietly with a faint smile on his lips.
