"It seems that there was a battle here?" When Wei Yan arrived at the city father, he came all the way from Qian County, and the city father city had already been retaken by the Wei army, looking at the vigilant looks of the Wei army in the direction of the city wall, Wei Yan frowned and said.

"General, according to the latest news from the right minister, the city father should be the place where the Wei army stores grain, could it be that it has been seen through by General Liu and already attacked?" The accompanying general asked.

"Send people to investigate around, where is the main force of the Wei army?" Wei Yan didn't make a judgment immediately, although he also had this thought, but when he marched to fight, he believed what he saw, and now just a city that had just passed through the flames of war not long ago couldn't explain anything, and it might be a trick of the Wei army.

"Whoa!" Immediately, some soldiers went to investigate, and at the same time, Wei Yan sent a large number of scouts to explore the surroundings of the horse realm.

The terrain in this area is flat, and it is generally difficult to encounter ambushes, but it cannot be taken lightly, and the terrain of Neihuang is not complicated.

The water network in this area is vertical and horizontal, although it is not deep, but it is also in line with the old saying, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, Wei Yan after seeing the nearby terrain clearly, the first thing he did was to send scouts along the rivers to investigate upstream, to see if there were traces of ambush or manual excavation.

As for the defenders in the city, as long as they didn't come out to provoke, Wei Yan was not prepared to attack the city immediately, but after initially determining the safety, he ordered to set up camp.

"General~" When it was almost evening, I saw several sentries and scouts returning and returning to Wei Yan.

"How?" Wei Yan hurriedly asked.

"It has been found out that a few days ago, a Han army attacked the city father, if it were not for a heavy snowfall, the city father had been burned down at the moment, and the Wei army general Xiahou Xuan died in the city father, the fire burned for a long time, and then the Wei army came here and pulled away a large amount of grain and grass." The scout team responsible for integrating information bowed to Wei Yan.

"Where is the main force of the Wei army now?" Wei Yan hurriedly asked.

It seems that it has succeeded, and the city father has no food now, and there is no value in attacking.

"It has not been discovered, it is said that a few days ago, the army went west, and when he led people to investigate, he saw wolf smoke in the southwest direction, which should be the wolf smoke in our army." The team led the bow.

"Let's go to the southwest ......" Wei Yan took out the map and followed the map to see: "Song County, Xinyang and ...... Mounds? ”

Qiutou is where Liu Cheng is stationed, that is to say, this wolf smoke is likely to be released by Liu Cheng, but Qiutou is more than a hundred miles away from here, and there is wolf smoke over there, how can you see it from such a distance?

"Look closely, where is the wolf smoke coming out? If it's a lieutenant general in our army, bring it! Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" The team leader agreed, and immediately went to arrange for another team of scouts to find it in the direction of the wolf smoke.

"General, it's getting dark at night, let's go rest." Seeing that it was dark, the deputy general came to Wei Yan's side and bowed.

"Cao Shuang's army must be pouring into the nest to attack Zixin, pass on my military order, set off overnight, and go to the direction of Qiutou!" Wei Yan shook his head, regardless of whether this wolf smoke was released by Liu Cheng or not, but Cao Shuang's army went to attack Liu Cheng, which can be guessed, and even Wei Yan can understand why Cao Shuang is doing this, the grain and grass are burned, at this time, he is desperate, obviously wants to open a gap, this gap does not refer to the encirclement of troops, in fact, in the Central Plains, there is basically no dangerous checkpoint to defend, the terrain is open, although Liu Cheng, Pang Tong, and Wei Yan are surrounded in three directions, but Cao Shuang wants to go, there is no way to stop it, unless the two sides gather their soldiers and horses in one place to fight, But it can be seen from the fact that Liu Cheng and Pang Tong set up camp fifty or sixty miles away from Cao Shuang's camp that Liu Cheng and Pang Tong did not mean to kill Cao Shuang at all, but forced Cao Shuang to retreat by himself.

Cao Shuang obviously understands this truth, so after the grain and grass were burned and there was no way to continue, he chose to break the road first to reduce the pressure of the next battle, and in addition, he would not lose the reputation of a defeated general, even if he was defeated, in this Central Plains, he could quickly re-recruit soldiers and horses, but if he ran away, it would be difficult to quickly recruit soldiers and horses with the current situation between the two sides.

Changing places, Wei Yan thought to himself that if he were to change to himself, he would make the same choice, defeat Liu Cheng at any cost, and he didn't even need to defeat him, he only needed to repel it.

Since it is nearby, how could Wei Yan let Cao Shuang get his wish, the only thing that is uncertain now is how the battle on the front line will be fought.

Around the clock, the scouts returned with a few Han soldiers.

"Are you ......" Wei Yan looked at these people and asked quietly.

"General, the lowly position is a general under General Liu, and he is ordered to be in charge of communications here!" The general bowed and showed his token.

"Oh?" Wei Yan took the token, but he didn't relax completely, just frowned and said, "How to communicate?" ”

"On that day, General Liu calculated that the thief army would attack with all his might, and he was ordered to lead people to leave the city to the east first, hiding every twenty miles, and if General Liu released wolf smoke and beacon fire, he would immediately respond with beacon fire and wolf smoke to guide reinforcements from all sides!" Tun Jiang said in a deep voice.

Wei Yan nodded, he didn't doubt that Liu Cheng could accurately figure out Cao Shuang's plan, after all, Liu Yi's son was a bit wicked in terms of resourcefulness.

"How's the war going?" After asking a few more questions, Wei Yanfang let go of his suspicions and looked at the general.

"The Wei army's 200,000 troops besieged Qiutou, the outer city set by the general has been breached, and now the enemy army is fighting to the death in the inner city, the specific situation, the scouts under the command of the last general do not dare to approach the battlefield, those Cao troops are crazy, cutting their own people is more fierce than killing the enemy!" General Tun said in a deep voice, in addition to contacting all parties to come to the reinforcements, they also have a task to probe the enemy's situation and tell the enemy's intelligence to the reinforcements.

"Kill yourself?" Wei Yan frowned when he heard this, and then reacted, Cao Shuang is trying to defeat Liu Cheng in the shortest possible time at all costs.

However, such an army has been killed for three days in a row, I'm afraid that the morale has reached the verge of collapse, right?

Wei Yan sat on horseback, looked at the lieutenant general beside him and said, "How far is it from Qiutou now?" ”

"Back to the general, there should be about a hundred miles!" The lieutenant bowed.

"Walk another fifty miles, then set up camp to rest, continue to hurry tomorrow night, rush to Qiutou before dawn the day after tomorrow, and immediately enter the battlefield!" Wei Yan said with a cold expression.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if Cao Shuang can suppress the army's heart and not collapse, but this Wei army is probably on the verge of collapse, if he suddenly kills, I am afraid that the Wei army will be completely defeated immediately!

If this is the case, whether the Central Plains can be captured as soon as possible depends on this battle!

After figuring this out, Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the three armies to step up their march, and when the sun was three in the morning of the next day, Wei Yan ordered the officers and men of the three armies to find a place to rest and recuperate, until they marched again at night.

……

"Brother Anguo!" Qiutou, Liu Cheng looked at the Wei army who was still fighting one after another, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Guan Xing looked at Liu Cheng and said in a muffled voice: "The end will be!" ”

Yesterday, he was forcibly knocked out and fell asleep by Liu Cheng, and he didn't wake up until this afternoon, which made Guan Xing feel very faceless, this little fart boy grew up by himself, and now he is so self-conscious, he doesn't miss the old feelings at all, which makes him want to hammer Liu Cheng.

However, this sleep also made Guan Xing's mental state extremely restored, and after calming down, he also understood that Liu Cheng's approach was right, but this method was unacceptable.

"The Wei army is about to collapse!" Liu Cheng looked at the tide of Wei troops under the city, and the most important thing was the overseer team in the rear.

The team is also a human being, and they continue to kill their own robes, many of which may be familiar to them or even relatives and friends, even if the danger is small, but the psychological suffering is not small, and it can be pressed all the time without breaking out, it is Cao Shuang who does have some ability, but no matter how big the ability, it is almost exhausted now, today's Wei army is extremely chaotic, this kind of thing, decoration can not deceive Liu Cheng, it can be sure that the Wei army is really to the limit, now as long as there is the slightest external force, can detonate this Wei army, which has been filled with negative emotions, and bombing the camp is only the best result, and it may be worse.

"Oh?" Guan Xing couldn't care about complaining about Liu Cheng in his heart, and his spirit was shocked when he heard the words, since he started to fight on the battlefield, this battle was definitely his most aggrieved battle, and now it seems that he is finally going to take the initiative? looked at Liu Cheng at the moment and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Order five thousand elite soldiers, eat and drink enough, sleep well, when the time comes, open the city to counterattack, remember ......" Liu Cheng pointed to the direction of the supervising team: "Those who are fighting on the front line can ignore it for the time being, and first gather troops to attack the Nadu brigade directly." ”

"Whoa!" Guan Xing did not hide his excitement when he heard this, agreed, turned around and left.

"I'm going to work hard tonight, and you're guarding the city with you!" Liu Cheng looked at everyone again and intervened.

"General rest assured!" Liao Hua and Zhang Yi laughed when they heard Yan Lang and said: "It's just one night, I can hold it, and the general will go to rest." ”

"No!" Liu Cheng silently straightened his helmet and said: "This victory is out, I want to stay here and spend tonight with the generals!" ”

The Wei army's attack slowed down significantly during the night, and Liu Cheng was not in a hurry, waiting until the hour of the hour.

Before dawn, the consensus of the Wei army was once again the Han army, just as the Wei army soldiers were preparing for the next attack, the gate that had been closed suddenly opened, the heavy suspension bridge fell, Guan Xing led five thousand cavalry to kill and run out, many people did not even react, they were killed and rushed to the Han army to tear a huge gap, Guan Xing did not fight with these people, led the soldiers and horses to kill the Wei army directly, and went straight to the rear of the warlord.

These Wei troops have been suffering for a long time, and when they saw the Han army kill at this moment, their first reaction was not to fight, but to scatter and flee, allowing the Han army to drive straight in, giving Guan Xing the feeling that today's Wei army is surprisingly weak!
