When you hear the drums, you must advance, and when you hear the gold, you must retreat, this is the minimum discipline of the army, and those who violate the order can be punished without forgiveness.

Yanghu heard the sound of Mingjin, and was slightly taken aback, although the battle situation was stalemate, but the morale of the Wei army was still there, and withdrawing at this time would not be equivalent to giving up all the previous achievements? So many Wei soldiers, didn't they die in vain?

Yanghu was very unwilling, but the military order was like a mountain, but he had to obey it, so he had to order to stop the siege and the whole army retreated collectively.

"Captain Cao, it's still early, why is Mingjin withdrawing troops at this time?" After Yanghu returned to the camp, he saw Cao Liang, and he was a little angry.

In front of everyone, it is natural to be official and commensurate with official positions.

Cao Liang said lightly: "Then in your opinion, before dark, will you definitely be able to take the Golden Wai?" ”

Yanghu was speechless for a moment, and said sneeringly: "But even if you can't take it, you can't give it up." ”

Cao Liang said: "Who said I was going to give up? The strong attack is only to increase the casualties, so it is better to collect the troops earlier and make another calculation. ”

"Then Captain Cao has a better way to break the city?" Du asked pre-asked.

Cao Liang shook his head lightly and said, "Not for the time being, but if we follow this strong attack method, we may not be able to win the Golden Siege in ten days and a half months, so we have to find another way." You've been tired all day, so go back to the camp and rest while I'm looking around. ”

"Yui." Yang Hu and Du pre-surrendered.

Cao Liang took Fang Bu and a team of personal soldiers and walked around the Golden Circle, since the strong attack failed, Cao Liang thought about it to see if he could find a breakthrough from elsewhere.

After watching for a long time, Cao Liang ordered his subordinates to summon Deng Ai, Deng Ai is an expert in military geography, and has ideas that ordinary people can't reach, he is a master of doing strange things, Cao Liang wants to hear his ideas.

Deng Ai quickly rushed over, and Cao Liang said: "Shizai, our army can't attack head-on, do you see if there is a way to bypass from behind, attack back and forth, and take the Golden Siege?" ”

Deng Ai carefully checked the terrain around the gold, and then said to Cao Liang: "I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid not. ”

"Why?"

"The surroundings of the Golden Gorge are ...... They are all lofty mountains and cliffs...... wall, several ...... There is almost no way out, even if there is ...... There are a few athletic soldiers who can ...... It is possible to climb over the past, but the east ...... of the Golden Wai To the east, there is also a fortified city with high walls, and I want to ...... Thinking that the Shu people are also well-prepared, and the soldiers who have passed lightly have ...... There is not even a ladder for the siege, such as ...... How can you take the city? ”

Deng Ai rarely spoke at length like this, and he stammered, his face flushed, for fear that Cao Liang would not understand.

Cao Liang understood, but he was disappointed, Huang Jinwei was a pass stuck on the main road to the east, if it didn't work, Zhang Lu would not have set up a checkpoint here.

Liu Yin is an old and serious general, it is impossible to ignore his head, presumably in the east of Guancheng, it is also heavily guarded, the mountain road is steep, even if a few skilled soldiers climb over, it is useless, unless you can find a road for a large army to pass, bypass the Golden Siege, but this is completely unrealistic.

Cao Liang looked at the cliff next to the Golden Fence and served as a wall of the Golden Fence, and said to Fang Bu behind him: "Fang Bu, can you climb that cliff?" ”

This cliff is almost straight and steep, hundreds of feet high, and ordinary people naturally can't climb it, but for the master of rock climbing, this is nothing.

Fang Bu took a closer look and gave Cao Liang an affirmative answer: "Yes!" ”

"Then you take a rope up and tie it to the top of the mountain." Cao Liang had a whim, find a master of rock climbing, climb to the top of the mountain with bare hands, and lay out a ropeway, as long as there is a ropeway, there can be more agile good hands to climb to the top of the mountain.

"No...... Inappropriate. Deng Ai shook his head in disagreement, "Captain Cao, this ...... It's completely useless, and this mountain is top-notch...... And steep, simply stand...... Unable to stand a few people, he rappelled from the top of the mountain to ...... To the Golden Enclosure, it is like ...... Is the sheep into the wolves, and ...... It's no different from sending you to death. ”

Deng Ai saw through Cao Liang's plan at a glance, that is, to send a vigorous team to climb the top of the cliff and then descend from the cliff.

But there are definitely not many people who can climb the cliff, and such a small army, even if it descends into the Golden Enclosure, it will not play a role, but will be sent to death in vain.

may be because of the fact that the special forces blockbusters in later generations have watched too much, Cao Liang is indeed very fascinated by the combat method of volleying vertically, taking an AK47 to volley down, and then sweeping in all directions.

It's a pity that in this era of cold weapons, this kind of Hollywood blockbuster is impossible to stage, even if it is a master of martial arts like Fang Bu, it is impossible to kill all sides in the chaotic army, like Zhao Zilong single-handedly killed seven in and seven out in Cao Ying, that is a completely fictional story, even if the knife and gun can't hurt you, can't the random arrows kill you? If you can defend the front, can you still guard against the back?

Deng Ai's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing some of Cao Liang's remaining illusions, yes, in this era, how can there be so many divine dramas to be staged, if it is replaced by the next generation, as long as it can occupy the commanding heights, just throwing down a bunch of grenades is enough to solve the problem.

Wait, Cao Liang seems to realize something, although there are no grenades in this era, there are also weapons similar to grenades, that is, fierce oil fire cans.

The production of the fierce oil fire pot is actually very simple, the badger oil is poured into the clay pot, and a strip of cloth similar to a wick can be put on fire like an oil lamp, and after ignition, it can be thrown to the enemy camp, and after the crockpot is broken, the fire oil is splashed, which can cause a raging fire in the enemy camp.

This is even better if there are flammable materials in the enemy camp.

Although the fierce oil fire tank is quite powerful, it is not easy to throw, and although it is often used in actual combat, it is only an auxiliary means, and is not used as the main attack.

Cao Liang had an idea, if Fang Bu and others could climb the cliff, but they could store a large number of fierce oil fire cans on it, and when the Wei army attacked the city, Fang Bu threw these fierce oil fire canisters one by one and burned the city, which could completely disrupt the city defense of the Shu army and give the Wei army besieging the city an opportunity to take advantage of.

Thinking of this, Cao Liang immediately ordered to go down and raise as much oil as possible, if there is really no one, find other oil instead, fill the crockpot, the more the merrier.
