Han Fei wrote a few more letters one after another and sent people away, and then he called Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Zhang He and others to the lobby.

After everyone arrived, Han Fei slowly spoke: "This time, the Cao army came in a big way, and we can be sure that they are not only here to take back Shanyang City, but also to capture me alive. Speaking of this, Han Fei paused, he looked around, and then continued: "Now that Jiulishan Dazhai has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, the road to Xuzhou has been cut off, and I believe that Guo Jia must have buried heavy troops on the way to Qingzhou, just waiting for us to die!" Since it is not safe to retreat to Qingzhou, I decided to defend this Shanyang City, and I hope that the generals will help me! ”

After Han Fei finished speaking, Zhang He opened his mouth and said: "Since the military advisor has already decided, I, Zhang He, naturally have nothing to say, the death of my husband Ma Ge Shroud on the battlefield is a great joy in life!" Rest assured, even if the city is broken, I will be able to protect you from the encirclement! If you want to catch you, you must step over my corpse! After Zhang He finished speaking, there was a burst of disdain in everyone's hearts, this sycophant shot simply said everything we wanted to say!

Han Fei nodded and said, "Thank you so much General Zhang, but I am confident that we will be able to defend this Shanyang City before the arrival of the lord's army." ”

At this time, Ma Chao also spoke: "The military advisor actually decided to defend the city, can you give me a group of men and horses I will attack Cao Ying and kill Cao Cao's old thief, so as to avenge my father!" ”

"Big brother, I'll go with you!" Ma Dai said hurriedly.

Han Fei smiled bitterly after hearing this: "General Ma Chao, I know that you are brave, but this time the Cao army camp is heavily guarded, and if you venture forward, not only will you not be able to succeed, but you will also put yourself in it." It's better to stay and defend the city with me! ”

After Han Fei finished speaking, Ma Chao was about to speak again, when Han Fei waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I know that most of the generals are cavalry, so I don't need you to defend the city for the time being, and I will send you out of the city to fight against Cao's army when the time is right." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Chao knew that his request was impossible to be granted, so he immediately said: "So everything is subject to the arrangement of the military advisor." After saying that, he returned to his place. In this way, under Han Fei's arrangement, everyone in the city began to actively prepare for the siege battle that was coming.

Cao Cao's army camp, Cao Cao sat in the big tent and listened to the scout's report. After Zhang He returned to the city, there was no movement in the city. This is much worse than his prediction and Guo Jia's. So Cao Cao moved his gaze to Guo Jia and found that Guo Jia's face was calm at this time. So Cao Cao spoke: "Fengxiao, what should I do next?" ”

"Lord, Han Fei is afraid that he knows our true purpose, you can recall the 20,000 troops led by General Xiahoudun and come and besiege the city with us!" Guo Jia looked up and said.

"This ...... Don't you have to wait any longer? Maybe tomorrow Han Fei will lead his army to retreat! Cao Cao hesitated.

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this, and said, "No, then since Han Fei already knows that our purpose is him, I'm afraid that he is already arranging to defend the city at this time." He will definitely use himself as bait to drop our army here, and wait for Liu Bei to return from Jiangnan and then fight with us! ”

Cao Cao was a little incredulous and said, "How can there be such a person in the world who does not care about his own safety? Isn't he afraid that we will break the city? At that time, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to! Guo Jia listened to Cao Cao's words, smiled bitterly and did not answer! In his heart, he very much approved of Han Fei's actions, and he would definitely act in the same way when he was in a different position.

Cao Cao saw Guo Jia bowing his head and was silent, so he stopped talking. At this time, Sima Yi came in from outside the tent to report, but it was Cao Hong who escorted the grain and grass to arrive. When Cao Cao saw Sima Yi coming in, he stopped him and asked for his advice.

Sima Yi was also taken aback when he was suddenly asked, but then he calmed down and said, "If the lord wants to capture that Han Fei alive, he can send someone to search for the people nearby." Then drive them to the siege! Thinking that Liu Bei prides himself on benevolence and righteousness, if his soldiers do not care about the life and death of the people, Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness will definitely be greatly damaged, and his subordinates will also deviate from morality! On the contrary, if he takes care of the people, then our army can take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and this Shanyang city can be destroyed. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to use the strategy given by Sima Yi, but Guo Jia frowned after hearing it and said: "The lord is slow, although this place was occupied by Liu Beijun before, it is still under the rule of my Yanzhou. If the lord drives the people to attack the city, then the reputation of the lord will be damaged! Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's objection, and immediately sneered: "Zhongda's plan is really not suitable for here!" Think about what else you have to do, just tell me! ”

After hearing this, Sima Yi retreated, and after he left, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "Then according to the words of filial piety, I will transfer back to Xiahoudun, and then besiege this Shanyang City!" Guo Jia nodded yes, so Cao Cao immediately gave an order.

In the next day, Xiahoudun's 20,000-strong army arrived here, and then the garrison was in the east of Shanyang City. Then Cao Cao sent men and horses to set up large camps in the north and south of the city, and in this way, Cao's army was divided into four sides and completely surrounded the mountain and river city.

After the siege of the city, Cao Jun began to cut down wood to build a ladder for siege, and Han Fei looked at the busy Cao Jun from a distance, and he felt a lot of pressure. At this moment, there were no less than 80,000 Cao troops outside the city, and more than 10,000 in the city. Although it is guarded by a city wall, such a large gap in numbers cannot be made up by Rongyuan. It looks like a bitter battle is coming!

It really made Han Fei guess correctly, at this time, it was really a poor dagger, and Cao Jun launched a fierce attack on Shanyang City, and it was launched at the east and west city walls together. Zhang He was injured, so Han Fei asked Ma Chao and Ma Dai to guard a city wall.

It was Xu Huang who attacked the city in the west, and this time he led his troops to vow to break Shanyang City. Facing the frantically attacking Cao Jun, Ma Chao couldn't stop sneering at the head of the city. Xu Huang is just a defeated general, I can defeat you once and defeat you a second time! At this time, the besieging soldiers had already come to the moat, and Ma Chao immediately ordered the archers to release their arrows.

The Cao army under the city was shot down like a rain of arrows, but more soldiers immediately rushed up behind him. Braving the rain of arrows, they approached the walls step by step, and finally leaned the ladder against the wall. Then Cao's soldiers climbed up the ladder to the city wall! The bow and arrows at the head of the city could not stop the pace of Cao Jun's advance at this time, Ma Chao immediately ordered the rolling logs to be put on, and smashed them down the city with the rolling logs one by one, but all the Cao troops were emptied wherever the rolling logs passed, and each rolling log could kill dozens or even hundreds of Cao troops. Under the rolling logs, Cao's offensive finally slowed down.

One more, ask for a monthly pass. Ask for a referral ticket. Ask for collections. Ask for a tip. There will be a chapter in a moment, dear friends.
