Wang Can couldn't get a solution from Jia Xu, so he got up and walked outside the camp.
Jia Xu and others also followed them out of the camp. After they separated, they each went to deal with their own affairs.
Outside the camp, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun directed the soldiers to dig a pit. Each soldier worked hard to dig a tunnel to block Cao Cao's sword cart. Wang Can led Dian Wei forward and saw Guo Jia asking the soldiers to dig out a section of about three feet long.
The tunnel was then opened with a width of seven feet in the middle for soldiers to walk, and then another tunnel was dug three feet long, and so on.
There are many soldiers in the army. It rained heavily yesterday and the soil is soft, making it easy to attack.
Before Cao Cao's army arrived, many tunnels had been dug.
Even if the sword cart made by Cao Cao could pass through one tunnel, there are still many tunnels blocking it. It would be very difficult for the sword cart to get within ten feet of the camp.
As a result, Cao Cao's sword cart was completely useless.
After digging the tunnel, Wang Can ordered the soldiers to rest, and then returned to the camp to wait for Cao Cao to lead the army.
Because the road was muddy and slippery, the wheels of the cart rolled in the mud, making it difficult to move forward and easily fall into the quagmire. Therefore, it took nearly two hours for Cao Ying's soldiers to approach Wang Can's camp. Cao Cao's troops had not yet arrived at Wang Can's camp.
camp, so he didn't know that Wang Can had dug a hole for him.
Cao Cao was full of confidence and ordered his soldiers to blow the horns and beat the war drums.
"Boom! Boom!..."
The sound of the drums was powerful and exciting, making the soldiers on the road excited and excited.
"Woo! Woo!..."
The sound of the horn soared into the sky, echoing constantly on the road. The mixed sounds of war drums and horns kept sounding, causing the birds in the woods on both sides of the road to be frightened, and they spread their wings and flew away.
Cao Cao was riding on his horse, and the horse was carrying Cao Cao forward.
He turned back, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said: "Zhicai, with the sword and chariot charge, we will definitely defeat Wang Can and win this time." Cao Cao was full of confidence, with an excited look on his face and dark eyes.
Excitement flashed in his eyes, he was very happy and looking forward to the moment he arrived at Wang Can's camp.
As for Xi Zhicai, he was not as optimistic as Cao Cao.
The knife-car charge must be unexpected in order to be effective.
Once the sword cart leaves the camp, it will be exposed to Wang Can's sight, and it will be easy to find a way to crack it. However, Xi Zhicai has no other way, because the army's three months of food and grass have been robbed, and the army
With only a few days of food and grass left, they were not even qualified to fight a protracted war. They could only fight quickly and fight Wang Can as soon as possible.
If Wang Can and Cao Cao lead their troops out of camp and engage in a decisive battle on the battlefield, the sword and chariot can have an unexpected effect.
However, they pushed the cart forward slowly, giving Wang Can time to prepare calmly. Therefore, after the food and grass were robbed, Cao Cao's good situation was suddenly broken, and he became very passive and dangerous.
The army continued to advance and stopped outside Wang Can's camp.
When the tunnels outside Cao Cao's camp came into Cao Cao's eyes, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, his eyes burst into flames, and his body kept trembling.
hateful!
hateful!
Cao Cao cursed Wang Can in his heart and greeted Wang Can's ancestors all over. Cao Cao looked at the tunnels and realized that they were temporarily dug by Wang Can to resist the knife and cart. His body kept shaking.
, teeth clenched, eyes widened, staring at Wang Can's camp.
At this time, Wang Can led the people out of the tent with a smile on his face.
Wang Can laughed and said: "Mengde, you led the army here to ask for food? Or to take Cao Ren back? Don't worry, I will treat Cao Ren well and let him eat well and sleep well. As for you
I will also let my soldiers eat the food. Well, if you want to attack the camp, I will be waiting for you at any time. If there is nothing else, just withdraw your troops and go back."
"Hahaha……"
Wang Can laughed loudly, with a joking expression on his face.
When Cao Cao heard this, the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
At this time, I heard Wang Can say again: "Mengde, I heard that your army only has a few days of food and grass. You rushed back all the way and you didn't even have enough food and grass. You have to continue to waste time here. Aren't you afraid of being hungry?"
Belly?"
When the soldiers in Cao's camp heard this, they immediately went crazy. Didn't they say in the morning that there was still a month of food? How come there was only a few days of food? The soldiers whispered in low voices, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Wang Can's words directly hit Cao Cao's weakness.
Since the battle between Cao Cao and Wang Can, Xiahou Dun's left arm was cut off, Cao Ren was captured again, and the army's three months' supply of food and grass was stolen by Wang Can. Each and every one of them made Cao Cao angry.
Looking at the ravine that was three feet long and nearly seven feet wide, Cao Cao felt helpless.
It took nearly eight days to build each knife cart, but in the end it was of no use.
The reason is that the food and grass were robbed, which exposed the sword cart to Wang Can's eyes.
If the army's food and fodder are still there, Cao Cao can fight Wang Can on the battlefield instead of here. When Wang Can is unprepared, the knife and chariot suddenly rushes out and kills Wang Can by surprise. However, the current situation is not
It was Wang Can who gave a gentle order and asked his soldiers to dig a few tunnels and block his sword cart outside.
Cao Cao was silent and suddenly fell silent.
what to do?
At this moment, a difficult problem was placed in front of Cao Cao.
Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Wang Can showed a cheerful smile on his face. It's good to have an old fox like Jia Xu. With a simple plan, Cao Cao's big weapon was turned into scrap metal, which was of no use. Wang Can's face turned solemn.
, shouted: "Mengde, since you don't want to fight, just retreat! Don't worry, no one will laugh at you."
"Hahaha……"
However, even though he said he was not laughing, the soldiers behind Wang Can laughed loudly.
One by one, the soldiers stared at Cao Cao, their fiery gazes making Cao Cao extremely embarrassed and angry.
Since he led the army, even if he was defeated by Dong Zhuo's army, he had never encountered such humiliation. However, when facing Wang Can, Cao Cao was unable to do anything. While Cao Cao was angry, he also felt a sense of unwillingness. His family background was better than that of Wang Can.
Well, his knowledge is better than that of Wang Can, and his official position is not lower than that of Wang Can, so why should he lose to Wang Can?
Unwilling!
Very unwilling!
At this time, Xi Zhicai rode up and said in a low voice: "My lord, when Gou Jian destroyed Wu in the past, he was able to endure hardships while sleeping on his salary. Could it be that my lord can't even bear this humiliation?"
After a pause, Xi Zhicai continued: "Besides, my lord's retreat is not a real retreat, but just to sit on the sidelines. With my lord's current situation, it is no longer possible to confront Wang Can head-on. Instead of facing the abyss, it is better to retreat and settle down."
Net, if the Lord withdraws from this war, he can be a bystander, watch from the outside, and be able to better grasp the situation."
Cao Cao looked uncertain, still hesitant.
Xia Houyuan knew that the situation was not good for Cao Cao, so he also rode up and said: "My lord, the city of Chang'an is strong. Let's follow the commander's instructions and let Wang Can attack and avoid the limelight for the time being."
Cao Cao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed.
He adjusted his mentality, put a smile on his lips, and shouted loudly: "Wang Can, you are really good this time. I will withdraw my troops immediately and leave. I hope you can capture Chang'an City. When the time comes, I will congratulate you again."
'." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers to return and prepare to leave.
However, a sudden change occurred.
Just when Cao Cao was about to withdraw his troops, the sound of war drums sounded all around.
