So although Ma Chao is still helpless to withdraw his troops at this time, what he thinks in his heart is not the same as before, this is "this time, that time".

And after Mingjin withdrew his troops, Wu Anguo still came to ask for guilt, he thought that this time it was his own mistake, because he didn't expect Ling Bud to be so cunning, so that his soldiers lost. Ma Chao looked at it and said in his heart, this kid Wu'an is here again.

As a result, Ma Chao still shook his head at him, and said to Wu Anguo: "Wu An doesn't have to be like this, the so-called battlefield is changing rapidly, and everything is unpredictable. It's actually good that you led the soldiers to climb the Jiameng Pass today, but who would have predicted that Lingbud had already had an ambush at the Pass? But you can make a decision on the spot and let the soldiers retreat, it is not easy, there is no need to mention this matter again, Hugh will say more! ”

When Wu Anguo heard it, he didn't say anything, his lord's words still made sense, but he felt that he still had a mistake.

In fact, Ma Chao thinks that this matter is really not a big deal, so it can be big or small, and it may not be a good thing for Wu Anguo. After all, it is "not to eat a trench, not to grow a wisdom", for him, this is a lesson. Although he has more experience than Ma Dai, after all, he has only led troops to tackle key problems for a few days, and he has no experience in guarding the city and guarding the pass, and he has not done this, so he naturally won't know too much, so in fact, it is understandable, Ma Chao will naturally not punish him for anything.

"Thank you for not being responsible!"

Ma Chao smiled and shook his head, and said in his heart that you Wu Anguo is like this, but he didn't say much, just said: "Okay, let's go back to the camp together, and we have to see how our army is doing today!" ”

Of course, Wu Anguo knew what his lord meant by what his lord said, so he went back to the camp with his lord.

Ma Chao also listened to Jia Xu's strategy before. Digging tunnels in the camp, preparing to go directly from the tunnels to Jiameng Pass, and this is what Jia Xu thought of, and Guo Jia's tired strategy was used together. As for the camp, it is not particularly far from the gate of Jiameng Pass, so Ma Chao feels that there is no problem in digging tunnels at this distance. So since last night, Ma Chao has ordered the soldiers to take turns digging tunnels.

After all, there are nearly 50,000 soldiers, so Ma Chao's intention is to dig five tunnels in the five big tents to lead to the Jiameng Pass. And of course, the sound has been reduced to a minimum, don't look at the distance between the camp and Jia Mengguan, which is nearly 100 meters, but in front of so many soldiers of the Liangzhou army. This distance is actually not too far, and no matter how far it is, it can't support many people. So within a few days, there will be basically no problem.

But for Jia Xu's plan, how well Ling Bao took precautions, Ma Chao's side is unknown. So Jia Xu had to use Guo Jia's tired tactics to cooperate. Because it was quiet at night, the sound naturally sounded much clearer than during the day. Therefore, I am afraid that the guards in Jia Meng Pass will notice. After all, those who defend the city and guard the pass have a way to prevent the attack of this siege party digging tunnels, because there is a thing called ground listening, also called urn listening, which is specially designed to monitor this.

Speaking of this, Ma Chao also has to admire the wisdom of the ancients. Listen to what this thing is, in fact, it is a brand new tank. And when it comes to it. All it was necessary to dig a well under the inner city wall, and then put this new tank in it, and then cover the mouth of the tank with a thin layer of cowhide, and the most important soldiers only had to listen on it. And that's what Ground Listening and what it's used for. Maybe the ancients didn't quite understand what the principle made this thing have the ability to monitor the direction of the besieger's tunnel, but it didn't prevent this thing from being made by the ancients very early.

However, now Ma Chao and they are not too close to Jia Meng Pass, so listening to the ground actually doesn't play a big role. And Ma Chao's precautions were when the tunnel was dug very close to Jiameng Pass, and at that time, they had to use the cooperation of tired soldiers, and then they had to make more noises under Jiameng Pass to disturb the guards of Jiameng Pass, so that they would not notice the movement of the ground.

Ma Chao and Wu Anguo led the troops back to the camp, and at this time, he and Chen Zhi were inspecting the progress of tunnels in several large tents, and Ma Chao was quite satisfied with this. And in order to break the Jiameng Pass as soon as possible, the Liangzhou soldiers are holding their breath, at this time, Zhilu Dao may be successful, so everyone is working hard.

Ma Chao and the others looked quite satisfied, and their own soldiers at least knew that they worked hard, so this is very good, there is nothing lazy in work, and this is also very good. If it goes on like this, why worry about not breaking the Jiameng Pass.

At this time, Ma Chao said to Chen Zhi and a few people: "Continue to let the soldiers dig, and then every day we still have to attack Jiameng Pass, and we can't let Ling Bud notice it!" ”

Chen Zhi and the others hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then Ma Chao continued to say to them: "Secondly, the strategy of exhausting soldiers every night is changed to come once every half an hour, I want to see what Ling Bao can do to me!" ”

"Haha......"

Several people laughed loudly, and the generals naturally laughed, but as for a scribe like Jia Xu and Guo Jia, of course they wouldn't do this, they just smiled. And everyone knows the way, look at today's guards of Jiameng Pass to know the way, yesterday's tired plan did play a big role. So much so that when they saw Ling Bud today, although everyone couldn't see his face clearly, it was definitely dark when they thought about it. At this time, everyone let the Buddha see the situation when their army entered Jiameng Pass, of course, they will not be careless, anyway, if they fail, they will not lose too much, but they will not be able to take Jiameng Pass later.

To say that everyone still has a lot of confidence now, especially the arrival of Guo Jia, which can be regarded as increasing everyone's confidence. After all, there was Mr. Wenhe alone before, and everyone thought it was already very powerful. So now there is another Mr. Fengxiao, although he is very young, but everyone does not dare to underestimate him -

Just when Ma Chao was digging a tunnel here and preparing to enter the Jiameng Pass to break the enemy, Zhao Yun had already led his troops to Langzhong City, and this was actually the second day that his army had arrived here.

On the first day, like Ma Chao, he let his soldiers rest first, and then talk about the war. It is indeed difficult to Shu Road, not to come is not to know the road, there are simply too many mountains in this place, although from Nanzheng to Langzhong, there is no need to go over the mountains and mountains, to go over the mountains and cross the big river or something, but there are indeed a lot of small mountain roads, so after the soldiers arrived in Langzhong, they were indeed exhausted.

But don't look at Zhao Yun, he immediately decided to let the soldiers go to rest, but the precautions did not relax at all. The guards who had been guarding against Langzhong took advantage of the fact that their army was coming from afar, and their foothold was not stable, and they came to rob the camp.

But it turned out that Zhao Yun obviously overestimated the other party, because Sergeant Lang didn't move at all. But even so, Zhao Yun didn't care about him because the other party was like this, and he still strictly guarded against the enemy's attack, so he didn't slack off at all.

The military general defending the city in Langzhong is named Zhi Fei, but not Zhang Fei. And to say that his skills are indeed not very good, but he is a relatively loyal person, and there are no talents in Langzhong, so he became this military general who guards the city.

As for the courage and courage, he naturally doesn't have much, and he is also a more cautious person, of course, this is actually a good thing to say. If you really want to describe Zhi Fei himself, it is not good to say, that is, he is a little timid. So let him go to steal the camp and rob the village, you don't have to think about it, he doesn't have the courage to do this.

Because for him at this time, it is better for him to guard Langzhong with 20,000 guards than anything else. As for victory, he didn't even think about it, as long as the city was not broken, anyway, "don't seek merit, but seek no fault". So with his kind of heart, can he still go to rob the camp? Obviously impossible.

At this time, Zhao Yun ordered, "The whole army will attack and take Langzhong!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

……

Zhao Yun obviously thinks more than Ma Chao, because he has already ordered someone to build a ladder car, although there are also simple ladders, but they are mainly to cross the moat, and the ladder car is a sharp weapon used to attack the city. From this point, it can be seen that what Ma Chao did not take into account, Zhao Yun had already thought of. This is not to say that Zhao Yun is necessarily stronger than Ma Chao, but that Zhao Yun has considered things, and I have to say that he is more comprehensive than Ma Chao.

This time, Zhao Yun asked Liao Hua to lead the troops to attack, in fact, it seems that there is no one else, only Liao Hua is the most suitable.

First, Zhao Yun, as the commander, is definitely not good at leading troops to attack the city. Because when the boss will go up to attack the city, generally speaking, there is really no one left, and the city can't be broken. It's not impossible for the coach to go early, but he must ensure that he can succeed and then break the city. Otherwise, the boss will be repulsed, and the impact on the morale of his soldiers will be too great, so the boss will not easily attack the city.

But it's not absolute, it doesn't rule out that some people like to take soldiers to siege the city, but how many people like that?

The second Zhang Fei is impossible, or in fact, he just doesn't like to siege cities. Like Cui An, he is superb in martial arts, but he doesn't like to lead troops to attack the city. If you really want Zhang Fei to go up, it will be similar to the front, and success can be guaranteed at once, and if you break the city, he can go up. Either he was forced to provoke him, so that he really had no choice, so he could go up helplessly. At that time, he had to go up if he wanted to, and he had to go up if he didn't want to.

Third, in fact, Zang Ba is not very suitable, not that Zang Ba can't be on, he is naturally more suitable than Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, but compared to Liao Hua, Zhao Yun feels that Liao Hua is more suitable.

And there is one most important point, that is, the instructions of his lord. Before leaving, Ma Chao made it clear and clearly told Zhao Yun that if there was a chance, he would let Liao Hua participate in the war, and it would be better if he could make some contributions. And Zhao Yun firmly remembered this, Ma Chao's idea is simple, Liao Hua may have defected to him for many years, but he has not used him much because of the previous incident, so Ma Chao felt that it must be bad to go on like this, so he asked Zhao Yun to use Liao Hua on his behalf.
