Sima Yi and Sima Shi arrived at Jiexiu City around the time of Mao, but Sima Yi wore a wide cloak and a hat that could cover half of his face, and even the vehicle he rode in was not the chaser he always rode in, but an ordinary carriage, so no one except Sima Shi knew that Sima Yi was already on the front line.

When Sima Yi arrived at the pioneer camp, a large number of equipment had already arrived at the foot of Jiexiu City from the spirit stone, including the cloud ladder that the pioneer camp urgently needed.

In yesterday's battle, the pioneer battalion lost several thousand people, but for the vanguard battalion with a total strength of 50,000 troops, this loss is nothing at all, and it will be necessary to regroup and fight again in the coming day.

But the lack of siege equipment made him a little worried, there was no ladder, could it be difficult for Sima Bing to climb the city wall with his bare hands?

The craftsmen of the pioneer battalion have been working all night long, but there are too many ladders damaged in the First World War yesterday, and most of them have been burned, and there is no repair value at all, and they can only be remanufactured.

However, with the manpower of the pioneer battalion alone, tinkering may be possible, but the large-scale construction of these ladders is completely inadequate.

If there is no sufficient number of ladders, then no matter how many men and horses Sima Jun has, yesterday's battle, Sima Yi suffered a big defeat, if he can't achieve substantial results today, then what is questioned is probably his Chen Qian's ability.

Fortunately, Sima Shi did not break his promise, and transferred countless ladders and other equipment from the Chinese army camp, which finally solved the urgent need of the pioneer battalion.

Seeing Sima Shi riding back, Chen Qian laughed and was about to step forward to say hello, but found that after Sima Shi jumped off the horse, he turned around and went to a car behind him to help one person get out of the car.

Because of Sima Shi's extremely respectful attitude, Chen Qian was greatly puzzled, and after a closer look, isn't this Taifu Sima Yi? Chen Qian immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "Humble Chen Qian welcomes the ......."

Before Sima Shi could finish speaking, he stretched out his hand to interrupt him and whispered in his ear: "My father doesn't want too many people to know his whereabouts, so Brother Xiu Yuan doesn't need to be polite." ”

Chen Qian immediately understood what Sima Yi meant, after all, the vanguard battalion is the front line of the enemy, and the situation on the battlefield is complicated, if Sima Yi exposes his whereabouts, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of the state army, and if the enemy sends assassins, it is really impossible to prevent it.

Therefore, Sima Yi's cautiousness Chen Qian could understand very well, he did not salute again, but lowered his voice and said to Sima Shi: "Then please ask Sima Taifu to rest in the tent." ”

Sima Yi said in a low voice: "There is no need to rest, the pioneer battalion is already lined up and ready to fight, let's go to the front of the army to watch the battle." ”

At this time, just after midnight, the pioneer camp was already lined up and was preparing to attack the city, although Sima Yi was in a hurry overnight, there was no fatigue on his face, not to mention that he came to the pioneer camp to inspect the situation, rest or something, there was no need at all.

Chen Qian hurriedly surrendered his promise, and immediately ordered that all the vanguard battalions should go out to fight, and the sword pointed at Jiexiucheng.

After yesterday's battle, if you fight again, you will be familiar with the road, but because Sima Yi came to the front line to watch the battle, Chen Qian was still a little nervous, and even his palms were a little sweaty.

This is to command the battle under Sima Yi's nose, if he wins the battle and takes Jiexiu City, then it is good to say, if he does not take Jiexiu City, I am afraid that Sima Yi can find out a bunch of faults, originally Sima Yi put him in this position, which has already caused the generals to be dissatisfied, if he lives up to this trust, then his Chen Qian's future will be really bleak.

At this moment, Chen Qian really has a feeling of great pressure.

According to yesterday's offensive routine, the first thing is to use long-range weapons to attack, but yesterday's battle, hundreds of catapults were destroyed, although enough catapults were abandoned today, but Chen Qian was a little hesitant, if he continued to use the catapult to fight first, would it be the same as yesterday's end, and was beaten by the catapult of the state army to the point that there was no scum left.

So what to arrange for the battle first, Chen Qian was a little hesitant, but at this time, Sima Yi spoke: "This way of attacking the city, or take long-range attacks first, destroy the enemy's defense, and help my morale, first of all, let the catapult fight this first battle." ”

Sima Shi was a little embarrassed, and said to Sima Shi: "Father, the child thinks the same way, but the catapult of the state army is really powerful, and before our army can arrange the position, a round of flying stones, the catapult will be destroyed, and this battle cannot be fought." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Sima Yi whispered a few words to Sima Shi, and Sima Shi suddenly realized, and immediately went down to arrange manpower, prepared a large amount of firewood, grass, shabby clothes, camp tents, flags and other discarded things, and piled them up in front of the army.

Soon, piles of fires were lit, thick smoke billowed out, and in order to increase the effect of the smoke, Sima Jun also deliberately wet the firewood and grass.

At this moment, the weather was windless, the smoke and clouds were shrouded, and the entire battlefield was plunged into a fog.

Yanghu has already led the army to wait in the city, after yesterday's battle, Sima Jun returned with a feather, today they must be unwilling to fail, will definitely make a comeback, so today's battle, will definitely be more fierce than yesterday, Yanghu is also psychologically prepared for this.

However, after seeing the Sima army on the opposite side, they did not launch an attack for a long time, which couldn't help but make the Bingzhou army in the city a little puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Sima Jun could sell in this gourd.

Before that, Sima Jun really didn't play his cards according to common sense, and piled up countless firewood and grass and all kinds of fire-causing things in front of the battle, and then set the fire, making it full of smoke, and within a hundred steps, it was difficult to distinguish people.

Could it be that Sima Jun wanted to use poisonous smoke to attack?

The poisonous smoke attack is not a new trick, and it can be regarded as the most primitive chemical weapon mixed with some highly toxic materials among the things that cause fire.

However, there are extremely harsh conditions for the use of poisonous smoke, that is, the wind and wind direction, the wind direction is not good, the wind is too strong or too small, and now this windless condition, the use of poisonous smoke will not poison the defenders, but it is easy to poison themselves.

Yanghu was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood that Sima Jun was not preparing to use any poisonous smoke to attack, but to build a smoke barrier to arrange catapults, and Yanghu immediately ordered that all the catapults in the city were ready to fight at any time.

When Chen Qian saw this scene, he couldn't help but pat his thigh, ouch, why can't I think of it? Using the smoke barrier, Sima Jun can calmly arrange the catapult without worrying about being damaged, or Taifu's clever means!
