Chapter 232: Soldiers are coming to the city
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, no matter what, this battle is inevitable, no matter what, Wang Ji can't tolerate the loss of Anfeng City, which is not only related to his own net worth, but also related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Anfeng City.
In the border counties bordering Wu, you have to be ready to fight all the time, the wars between Wu and Wei are frequent, a small fight in three years, a big fight in five years, war is commonplace, so no matter when the Wu army comes to attack, Wang Ji will not be surprised, all he needs is to fulfill his duties, defend the city, and protect the people.
It was late at night, and it stands to reason that the Wu army would not attack again at this time, but Wang Ji still ordered the soldiers defending the city to stay in place and rest in shifts, and at least one-third of the soldiers remained awake and kept an eye on the city at all times to prevent the Wu army's sneak attack.
Cao Liang saw everything in his eyes and nodded secretly, although Wang Ji was not as famous as Deng Ai Yanghu Du Pre in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but he was also a rare famous general, he was rigorous in governing the army, and very strategic.
Although Wang Ji became a powerful general under the command of Sima after the Sima clan took power, he made miraculous contributions to quell the three rebellions in Huainan before and after the saddle, but at this moment he is not a descendant of the Sima family.
It can be said that the current Wang Ji and the Sima family have not yet had any relationship, Cao Liang couldn't help but secretly calculate, such a general could not be poached by the Sima family, it seems that he has to find another way to win him into his camp, which will undoubtedly be another help.
However, if you want to recruit Wang Ji now, it seems to be a bit difficult, because he is not like Deng Ai Shibud, who has a low status, nor is he like Yanghu Du Pre, who has not yet become a leader, the current Wang Ji has achieved the Taishou of 2,000 stones, and he will be promoted soon, it is not difficult to be a thorn or a governor, and his official position is much lower than him, and it is not easy to win him over.
So Cao Liang didn't rush to start, but built a good relationship with Wang Ji, wrapped up his feelings, and waited for the opportunity to make another move in the future.
At least Cao Liang's first impression on Wang Ji was very good, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, he was not soft at the critical time, he defeated the vanguard of the Wu army in one fell swoop, and the killing of Zhuge Jin made Wang Ji also impressed, although there is some luck in this, but taking the head of the general among thousands of troops is really a thing that can be worth writing about.
Heroes cherish heroes, Wang Ji and Cao Liang have a sense of familiarity at first sight, talking eloquently, and hating each other, but it's a pity that there is no wine tonight, otherwise the two of them can not get drunk and not return.
Unconsciously it was already the third watch, Wang Ji hurriedly said: "It's not too early, Cao joins the army or rest early, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, how about we join hands to kill the enemy?" ”
"Yui." Cao Liang agreed.
Cao Liang's residence, Wang Ji has already arranged it for him, Cao Liang can sleep peacefully, but Wang Ji is a person who does not take off his armor, sticks to the front line of the city, and at most can only take a nap against the wall.
Before the fifth watch, Cao Liang was awakened by the rumbling drums, he hurriedly got up, and when he asked, he knew that there was an enemy attack, and the Wu army had begun to attack the city.
Cao Liang turned back to the house and woke up Ren Lan, who was sleeping soundly: "Ren Changshi, the Wu army has begun to attack the city, immediately gather the army to meet the battle!" ”
When Cao Liang told him that there was an enemy attack, he suddenly lost his sleep, quickly got up, dressed neatly, and ordered all the horses of the southern army to be summoned and prepare for battle.
The Wu army's attack was indeed earlier than expected, and as soon as it was dawn, they launched an attack on Anfeng City.
The main reason is that Zhuge Ke stayed awake all night, the revenge of killing his father is like a maggot attached to the bone, gnawing at his soul and making him miserable.
So when the Wu soldiers in the camp were all asleep, Zhuge Ke was sitting in the camp, looking at the dark and gloomy Anfeng City.
Wu army lacked the ability to attack fortifications, this is an indisputable fact, when the Cao army Chibi was defeated so badly, everyone thought that Jingzhou was within reach, but at that time, the Jiangdong army fought for a whole year before taking Nanjun, and Xiangyang County, so far can not be touched, Wu Jun's ability to attack fortifications is indeed visible.
A few days ago, Zhuge Ke wanted to rely on the courage and fierceness of the Danyang soldiers to take Anfeng City in one fell swoop, but it was a nose of ash, and even attacked for a few days, but he could not break through the defense of Anfeng City, and he could only sigh at the city.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Zhuge Ke's failure to do his best, the siege of Anfeng City was originally just a bait, the purpose was to attract reinforcements from the Wei army to cross the river, the real main battlefield of the Wu army was in Anfengdu, at that time it was best to break through Anfeng City, and it didn't matter if it was not broken, as long as the Wei army reinforcements took the bait, it would be enough.
This time to attack Anfeng again, Zhuge Ke's thoughts and mood have changed greatly, this time he is determined to win Anfeng City, he wants to take Anfeng City at all costs.
Not only did he want to pull Cao Liang out of the Wei army, peel off his skin and cramp, crush his bones and scatter ashes, but everyone in Anfeng City must die, and Zhuge Ke wanted to cut off everyone's head to pay tribute to his deceased father's soul in the sky.
This will be Zhuge Ke's revenge, since the Wei people have done so desperately, and they will not even let go of Zhuge Jin's corpse, then they must bear the fire of Zhuge Ke's revenge, Zhuge Ke will behead all the heads of everyone in Anfeng City, tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
This night, Zhuge Ke felt that it was longer than a hundred years, and as soon as the dawn dawned, he ordered all the people to assemble, and the rumbling war drums woke up all the Wu soldiers in their sleep, and they gathered in a hurry.
Zhuge Ke's face was gloomy, and he issued the order to attack, and at the same time reiterated the bounty again.
This time, the reward was announced by the officers and men of the whole army, not only among the generals and officers like the last time, and it was impossible for Tang Zhiliuzan to try to deceive the superiors and subordinates.
As soon as they heard the reward, the soldiers of the Wu army suddenly became excited, and their sleepiness disappeared, such a rich reward, it is difficult not to make people moved, the Wu soldiers all yelled and screamed, and the shouting of killing was deafening, and the Wu army soon came to the city and surrounded Anfeng City.
