The wind is bitterly cold, and this year's winter has been particularly cold. Since the day before yesterday, it has snowed for three consecutive days, and the dilapidated city of Xiapi is white.

The inner city of Xiapi City

Chen Gong stood on the wall of the inner city, he had already noticed that the number of soldiers of Cao Jun's "unsuitable" seemed to have increased, but Cao Jun strengthened his vigilance because of this, and instead increased his defense, which made Chen Gong feel a little miscalculated, and if it continued like this, the grain and grass would not be able to support it.

Chen Gong couldn't help but be a little anxious, Cao Jun's vigilance increased, then the success rate of their breakthrough would be reduced, and they had to wait for an opportunity, but grain and grass became a fatal factor for them to wait for the opportunity.

Was it a forced breakthrough or a forced raid on the granary?

Chen Gong stroked the goat's whiskers on his chin, and his head ached. Attacking the granary with all his might, he was seventy percent sure that he could succeed, but it was bound to strengthen Cao Jun's vigilance again. However, forcibly breaking through, he only has a three-percent chance of winning, because even if Cao Jun is unsuitable, but with the geographical advantage and Cao Jun's advantage in generals, he can repel them, and if the breakthrough fails, then there is really no next chance. And Chen Gong's personality is very cautious, he never does anything that is less than sixty percent of the chance of winning, and if he wants to do it, he will succeed, so he personally does not agree with the idea of breaking through.

Instead, Tao Qian said on the side, "Gongtai, according to your plan, we have repeatedly attacked out of the city to make Cao Jun take it lightly, thinking that I am raiding the granary and want to defend it, so if we really succeed in attacking the granary this time, wouldn't Cao Jun believe it even more?" And then how many other granaries in the city will be more local? In this way, the number of soldiers defending the four gates will be reduced. ”

Chen Gong suddenly realized, yes, my plan is to make Cao Jun really think that we are just to surprise the granary, and then relax the vigilance of the four gates and take advantage of the situation to break through.

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, he had been entangled in such a simple truth for so long.

After nightfall, a lot of fires lit up in the inner city of Xiapi City, and under the light of the firelight, it was a soldier of the Xuzhou Army in armor.

"Straight, why are these guys standing so straight tonight? Can't eat enough and still have the strength to stand guard? Under the city, a commander of the Cao army looked at the Xuzhou army at the head of the city and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's too quiet tonight, could it be that the Xuzhou army is going to attack at night tonight?" The tun chief looked at the two team leaders beside him, wanting to hear his opinion.

"I don't think it's possible, I was worried just now that he was going to attack at night again, so I roughly counted the number of soldiers at the head of the city, there were almost five or six thousand, could they still rely on the remaining thousands of people to attack at night?" One of the team leaders spoke.

Regarding the remarks of this team leader, the tun commander felt that it was still reliable, but it seemed that General Cao Hong had transferred some of the soldiers away tonight, in fact, they were roughly the same as the strength of the Xuzhou army.

Before he could finish his thoughts, a shout of killing came, and the gate of the inner city of Xiapi City opened, and an army of 15,000 people came out. The real capable soldiers of the Xuzhou Army are actually six or seven thousand, and the rest are the soldiers of various prefectures, responsible for carrying grain and grass.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! Sons and daughters follow me against the enemy! This general reacted quickly, but he didn't know how the Xuzhou army could have so many remaining troops to go out of the city to fight, and their combat effectiveness was far from being comparable to the soldiers who went out of the city to fight in the previous few times.

The Xuzhou army that went out of the city went straight to the granary of the south gate, and the Cao army was caught off guard and was really killed by the Xuzhou army.

"Move them all out!"

The battle lasted for half an hour, and Cao Hong led the army to support, and the two granaries near the south gate were almost emptied by the Xuzhou army, which was 20,000 stone grain and grass! This means that the Xuzhou army can support it for nearly another month!

After Cao Hong learned all this, he didn't blame everyone, and at the same time wondered why the strength of the Xuzhou army suddenly increased so much. Cao Hong stared at the Xuzhou army at the head of the city, and took the longbow in his hand from the hand of the soldier next to him, and the soldier took off one of the arrows in the quiver behind his back and respectfully handed it to Cao Hong. In normal times, Cao Hong would definitely smile at him, saying that your kid is really a talent, but tonight, he is not in the mood to laugh.

Cao Hong pulled the bowstring, this is a stone bow, this soldier's arm strength is not bad. Cao Hong aimed at the Xuzhou army at the head of the city, and bent his bow and shot an arrow, which hit the soldier in the chest. The Cao soldiers on the side just wanted to cheer, but looking at Cao Hong's face, everyone did not coax, and the city was still silent.

"No, why isn't there a scream?"

"Yes, look at these guys, there is no panic!"

"Guard Battalion!" Cao Hong snapped, and everyone stopped muttering, "Focus on the thief I just shot at me, and release the rocket!" ”

Although everyone didn't understand what medicine was sold in Cao Hong's gourd, they still did it.

Woohoo!

A thousand arrows were fired from the 1,000-strong guard, and a fire appeared at the head of the city. The Xuzhou soldiers at the head of the city were as if they were dead, there was no scream, and they were still standing in place, and the flames on their bodies were burning more and more.

At this time, everyone saw clearly that these were not living people at all!

They are a bunch of scarecrows! It's just armor!

Damn it! Fooled!

This is everyone's thoughts, they really didn't expect the Xuzhou army to play such a hand, no wonder the Xuzhou army can still have so many people out of the city to fight.

Cao Hong did not lose his temper, but comforted several captains in charge of defense tonight, and told them to straighten out their troops and horses, treat wounded soldiers, and there would be soldiers to change guards in a while. Then, Cao Hong left.

No one paid attention to Cao Hong in the dark night, his face was full of hideousness.

In fact, Cao Jun deliberately let the grain and grass be taken advantage of by the Xuzhou army, but they did not expect that the Xuzhou army would dispatch so many people, which would cause them a lot of casualties.

This is Xun You's strategy, if the Xuzhou army really breaks through, to be honest, with the current Cao army, it can only win a miserable victory, but how can the Xuzhou army delay the time to break through? This stumped the people. Xun You suggested strengthening the garrison of the outer city of Xiapi City, and it seemed that Cao's army was very vigilant, but he secretly transferred many soldiers guarding the granary to guard the four city gates. If the Xuzhou army had obtained their grain and grass, and at the same time found that the Cao army's vigilance had been strengthened, they would never choose to break through now. Now it seems that Xun You's purpose is at least successful, and the day when the Xuzhou army breaks through will definitely be postponed.

"Old man Tao Qian, wipe your neck clean and wait for my Cao Zilian's war knife!" In Cao Hong's words, he was full of murderous aura and looked at the city head with hatred.
