The siege continued for another day, but it was still unsuccessful, and Cao's army had to retreat again. I saw that under the command of Gao Shun and others, the soldiers were forming a phalanx, retreating neatly and orderly.

Gao Shun looked at the towering Wancheng city wall in the distance, and his eyes showed a trace of sorrow. Although the siege of the city for several days in a row caused heavy losses to the defenders of Wancheng, the pressure on their own side was not small, not to mention the many casualties among the soldiers, and even the siege equipment had been damaged by a small half.

In addition, what Gao Shun is worried about is the reinforcements from Xiangyang, how much time will it take them to rush to Wancheng?

But no matter how long it will take for reinforcements to enter Wancheng, there is not much time left for Gao Shun. In five days, if you can't take Wancheng within five days, I'm afraid you will have to retreat.

But to be honest, the five-day deadline was too tight, and Gao Shun was not sure that he would be able to break through the gates of Wancheng in five days. If the deadline is doubled again, from five days to ten days, Gao Shun will probably be full of confidence, but unfortunately now he can only do his best......

Gao Shun sighed lightly, his heart was like numbness, and he had mixed tastes.

"As the commander of an army, you must not be impatient." I don't know when, Yu Ban Zema, who was the deputy general in this battle, came to Gao Shun's side and said, "Wancheng City is strong, and the number of defenders is also quite large, and it is reasonable that it cannot be attacked for a long time. ”

"Shun, teachable." In the face of the forbidden's kind persuasion, Gao Shun was also a little grateful, so he replied sincerely.

"General, look." Suddenly, Commander Xiahou Lan, who was the forward, suddenly pointed to the gate of Wancheng and shouted loudly.

Looking in the direction that Xiahou Lan was pointing, Gao Shun couldn't help but show a look of extreme surprise, and his eyes widened.

The gate of Wancheng was opened, and it was opened in front of his eyes.

Although Gao Shun is more than 300 steps away from the gate of Wancheng, the specific situation is not very real, but there is no doubt that the gate of Wancheng has indeed been opened.

"Quick! Hurry up and invite the military advisor to come and discuss! Gao Shun hurriedly shouted to the heralds beside him.

The military advisor naturally referred to Jia Xu, and not long after, under the leadership of the herald, Jia Xu also came to Gao Shun's side.

Seeing the opening of the gate of Wancheng, Rao is Jia Xu was usually as calm as water, and at this time he couldn't help but show a hint of incredulity.

"Could it be a fraud?" Jia Xu, who was accustomed to people, subconsciously thought that this was the strategy of the guards in the city, and he was afraid that he was setting up an ambush inside the city gate and waiting for him to enter.

No matter how scheming Jia Xu was, he would never have expected that all this was caused by Wei Yan. When he let Wei Yan go back, he didn't think about getting any big benefits from this matter. In Jia Xu's original expectation, if Wei Yan could contact his own army because of his incompatibility with Liu Pan after returning to the city, and become the internal response of his army in the city, this would already be the most perfect result. As for Wei Yan killing Liu Pan in a fit of rage, opening the city gate and surrendering to Cheng, no matter how unfathomable Jia Xu's IQ is, he would never have imagined that the plot would unfold like this.

"Wenhe, what should I do now?" If you take Gao Shun's mind, you should launch a charge of the whole army now, rush into the city gate in one fell swoop, and occupy Wancheng with lightning speed.

Of course, Gao Shun is not a reckless man, the gate of Wancheng was opened for no reason, and Gao Shun naturally had a little doubt in his heart, so he called Jia Xu over for advice.

"There may be ambushes in the city." Jia Xu thought for a while, but he didn't understand anything, and finally just spit out these six words.

Is it empty? Hearing Jia Xu say this, Gao Shun was also difficult to decide.

"General, let's send troops." And Xiahou Lan on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Gao Shunjin, "No matter what tricks the defenders of Wancheng want to do, but they are inferior to our army in terms of numbers and combat power, as long as our army is prepared, even if it is deceitful, what is there to fear?" ”

Xiahoulan was a typical militant, how could he give up when he saw the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in battle, so he naturally tried his best to persuade Gao Shun to attack at this time.

However, what Xia Houlan said may not be entirely true, but there is some truth in it, at least in the current situation, this is really a godsend. If you ignore this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be really difficult for you to conquer Wancheng.

The so-called God's endowment is not taken, but it is also to blame.

Gao Shun asked the rest of the people that Le Jin and Cao Ang were the main battle, while Yu Ban said that it was not appropriate to act rashly.

Yu Ban has a calm personality, so he is reluctant to move lightly. Although Le Jin and Yu Ban were listed as the five good generals, they were brave in battle and dared to take risks, so they advocated taking advantage of this opportunity to launch an offensive. Cao Ang was appointed by Cao Cao this time to enter the army for training, but due to the limitation of his identity, he had no opportunity to perform from beginning to end, as his first time participating in the war, Cao Ang naturally did not want to return to Xuchang empty-handed, so he also hoped to get a chance to make meritorious contributions.

After much consideration, Gao Shun finally made a decision: attack!

"Order the whole army, stop the retreat, change the rear army to the front army, and attack Wancheng!" The plan was established, and Gao Shun would never be ambiguous, so he immediately ordered.

Regarding Gao Shun's offensive order, Jia Xu did not persuade him. Although there must be a demon when things go wrong, it is really unreasonable for Wancheng to suddenly open the city gate, but for some reason, Jia Xu just has a vague feeling that Gao Shun will win a big victory if he goes.

The soldiers continued to fight for a day, and at this time they were already exhausted, and when they had already retreated halfway, they suddenly heard the order to reorganize and attack the city again, and many people could not help but complain. Fortunately, Cao Jun's military discipline was strict, and the orders were issued, but they also acted in an orderly manner without any chaos.

The army quickly turned around and headed towards Wancheng again.

It's a pity that he doesn't have cavalry in this battle, otherwise the speed of the charge can be greatly accelerated, and if the enemy really has any tricks, he can quickly retreat, Gao Shun not only sighed secretly in his heart. However, this is also a helpless thing, Cao Cao has not unified the north at this time, and the reserve of war horses is not very sufficient, and as for the tiger and leopard rider with strong combat power, there is not even a shadow now. In this case, the distribution of war horses is strictly controlled, and Gao Shun's trip is a siege battle, so what do you need cavalry to do? Cao Cao would not have arranged cavalry with him.

Although Gao Shun and other generals had horses to ride, they would never make the gap between themselves and the infantry formation behind them too large.

It's not a long distance of more than 300 steps, but it will take some time to run through it on both legs. In the process of marching, Gao Shun was afraid that the city gate would be closed suddenly, but fortunately, it was purely his senseless worry, and when he was about ten zhang away from the city gate, the city gate of Wancheng was still open, and there was no sign of closing.

And the scene near the city gate almost shocked Gao Shun's jaw.

I saw that an old man and a young man were fighting to the death, and after a closer look, those two were Huang Zhong and Wei Yan!
