Chapter 225: No Entry
The Wu army's attack on Anfeng City for many days made Wang Ji dare not relax at all, even if it was like a rain of arrows, Wang Ji stuck to the city and never left half a step.
The bravery of the Danyang soldiers left a deep impression on Wang Ji, these guys are like outlaws, they are not afraid of death, and the fierceness of the siege charge is as if they are crazy.
They brought great challenges to the defense of Anfeng City, and every impact of the Danyang soldiers would double the defensive pressure of the defenders, and the entire defense line was dangerous.
The Wu army attacked for several days in a row, and the city of Anfeng City was damaged in many places, and the defense system was also greatly damaged.
The reinforcements could not wait for a long time, the defenders were getting tired day by day, and even Wang Ji felt that it was difficult to hold on, but the Wu army suddenly withdrew.
This made Wang Ji very surprised, it stands to reason that he also feels that he can't hold it anymore, and it is impossible for Zhuge Ke, the commander of the Wu army, not to notice that the sudden withdrawal of troops at this time is not Zhuge Ke's trick.
Regardless of whether Zhuge Ke has tricks or not, Wang Ji will never open the city gate, let you be cunning and wise, I will not move.
Now that the Wu army has retreated, Wang Ji will be able to relax a little, and in the past few days, people have been fighting continuously without removing their armor, and the iron man will not be able to hold it.
But even if he went down the city wall, Wang Ji was too busy, the wounded needed to visit, although the grain and grass equipment were checked, the people in the city needed to be appeased, and Wang Ji was so busy that he was overwhelmed.
Finally, he was busy, and Wang Ji was about to take a nap, when a sergeant suddenly came to report, saying that Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan, had arrived outside the city.
Wang Ji's first reaction after hearing this was that he was deeply surprised, An Feng was on the border between Wei and Wu, and this time he was surrounded by the Wu army for many days, and the news was closed to reason, so he didn't know about the imperial court sending Sima Yi, the governor of Pingnan, and Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan, to come to Huainan.
However, he was surprised, but Wang Ji still rushed to the city tower as soon as possible, if it was really the reinforcements from the imperial court that arrived, then Wang Ji would really be at ease.
However, the moment he stepped on the tower, his heart was still sinking, although it was already dark, but vaguely, he could still see the size of this army, probably more than 10,000 people.
Since the imperial court has sent reinforcements, it is impossible to have only more than 10,000 people, compared to the more than 100,000 horses of the Wu army, this more than 10,000 people is simply a drop in the bucket.
And looking at the appearance of the other party's broken banner and untidy army, Wang Ji suddenly felt a trace of doubt in his heart, is this really a reinforcement sent by the imperial court, no matter how you look at it, isn't it sent by the Wu people to cheat the city?
The sudden withdrawal of the Wu army originally made Wang Ji full of suspicions, the Wu army could not be attacked, and it was likely to hold back the big move, but he didn't expect such a situation to appear as soon as it was dark.
If it is really the reinforcements of the imperial court, this time is too coincidental, it is too early to come, it is not late, but it appears at dusk when the sun sets, and it is really difficult to distinguish it from a distance at this time.
Wang Ji secretly sneered, it seems that this Zhuge Ke is really a thief, and trying to send someone to pretend to be reinforcements from the Wei army to open the city gate is simply wishful thinking.
Ren Ran waited under the city for a while, a little anxious, seeing that the pursuers of the Wu army behind him were getting closer and closer, but the city gate had not yet opened, this was the rhythm of forcing people to death.
"Is the king too guarded? The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay, so please pass it on as soon as possible. Ren Ran shouted.
Wang Ji said unhurriedly in the city: "Our Wang Ji is here, and you are said to be the imperial court reinforcements, so where is General Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan?" ”
Ren Ran said truthfully: "General Xiahou was seriously injured in the battle of Anfengdu, and he is recuperating in the army at the moment, so it is inconvenient to come. ”
Wang Ji smiled, he had basically concluded that the army under the city was pretended by the Wu people, since Xiahou Xuan led the troops to come, how could he not show up?
Xiahou Xuan is injured? Can there be a more outrageous excuse than that? As for the seal ribbon or something, Wang Ji didn't bother to look at it at all, the so-called seal ribbon was just a small seal and a belt. According to the level of General Zhengnan, it should be a silver seal and a blue ribbon, a silver seal and a cyan ribbon, this thing is too easy to counterfeit, just find a craftsman, you can carve it.
So I want to fool myself with the ribbon, but there is no door.
Wang Ji sneered at the city: "Go back and tell Zhuge Yuanxun, you don't need to take out this little skill of carving insects, you don't have to take it out and fiddle with it, if you have the ability, let's see a real chapter with a real knife and a real gun, Wang is waiting here." ”
Anyone is confused, where is this?
Cao Liang understood it, and whispered to Ren Lan: "People regard us as spies of the Wu Kingdom." ”
Ren Ran suddenly realized, it was not that he had a bad brain, but he didn't think about it at all, he originally wanted to hand over Xiahou Xuan's seal to prove his identity, but he didn't expect Wang Ji to ignore it at all, which was really a headache.
"Wang Taishou, you misunderstood, we are not a spy of Wu State, in the next office, the long history of General Zhengnan, here is the seal of General Xiahou as a basis, Wang Taishou will know the truth at a glance."
Wang Ji sneered: "I can have as many such seals as I want, why do I need to see them?" If you want to prove that you are not a spy of the Wu State, you will come up with a more reliable certificate, Ben Taishou is responsible for the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers and people in the city, don't think that you can open the city gate by wearing a few clothes of the Wei army and playing two broken flags. ”
Ren Ran couldn't help but be speechless, except for the seal ribbon, he really couldn't take out anything that could prove his identity, what could he do?
Cao Liang was also speechless, in fact, there was nothing wrong with what Wang Ji did, as a city guard, he had to at least consider the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, once the city was broken, it would be a disaster for the people. Caution at this time is justified, if you rashly open the door without being convinced that this army is really a reinforcement from the imperial court, the consequences will be really serious.
But I really can't wait on my side, the pursuers of the Wu army are behind them, and they are coming in an instant, once they are blocked by the Wu army under the city and cannot enter, the consequences will be extremely bad.
How can I show my identity to Wang Ji and prove that he is indeed a Wei person and not a Wu person, Cao Liang is really worried, among the people around him, there is no one Wang Ji knows, is it possible that he really wants to carry the seriously injured Xiahou Xuan here and let Wang Ji see it clearly?
But with this light, even if Xiahou Xuan and Wang Ji know each other, they can't recognize it!
