Chapter 909: New Goals
Sima Yi was in a good mood, but Cao Hong was a little angry when he asked him.
If it weren't for Cao Hong losing this summoning tomb, how could it be like this now.
"Increase the intensity of the attack on Xuchang." Sima Yi glanced at Cao Hong and then spoke.
"Continue to attack Xuchang?" Although Cao Hong didn't have any idea in his heart, when he heard Sima Yi say that he would continue to attack Xuchang, he felt that it was not feasible.
"Zhongda, now that Xuzhou is impossible to take, this Guo Jia led the army towards Yanzhou again."
"Our army is now fighting everywhere, once Yanzhou is lost, we will be cut off from the back road and end up in the nest."
Although Cao Hong also felt that it was a little inappropriate to say such things, there were some things he couldn't help but say.
Sima Yi glanced at Cao Hong after listening to Cao Hong's words, but he was a little disdainful in his heart.
If you don't have a certain degree of certainty, how can you just let this Yanzhou go unattended.
Even what you Cao Hong's reckless brain can think of, how could I, Sima Yi, not think of it.
If you say that you don't have a certain amount of preparation in Yanzhou, how dare you send troops like this.
As the saying goes, take precautions, even if you take every step on the battlefield, you may not be able to calculate everything.
But this worst-case scenario still needs to be considered, and what is the worst-case scenario, which is defeat.
So how could Yanzhou not have any defenses, once defeated, it would be possible to keep Yanzhou.
"Okay, let's do as I say." Sima Yi glanced at Cao Hong and then spoke.
He still believes in Yanzhou's defense, even if Guo Jia goes in person, it is impossible to take this Yanzhou so quickly.
And according to his understanding of Guo Jia, he will definitely calculate that he will have a defensive arrangement in Yanzhou.
Therefore, this Guo Jia will inevitably not be so fast, and all the men and horses will attack Yanzhou.
Guo Jia will stop a little because he will observe his reaction.
"Yes." Cao Hong saw that Sima Yi was so confident, so Cao Hong must not be saying anything.
Cao Hong himself was originally defeated in Zhaoling, and he made meritorious service here, so Cao Hong could only obey orders.
Sima Yi's army attacked Xuchang, but this time there was still no mercy, and all the men and horses attacked Xuchang again.
"Why is this Sima Yi's army like crazy, it hasn't attacked for so many days, why is it like fighting chicken blood today."
Some soldiers at the head of the city watched Sima Yi's army rushing over so desperately, and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, not only ordinary soldiers, but also this Dian Wei also had such thoughts this time.
Dian Wei couldn't hide his doubts or words, so he quickly looked at Xun You on the side and asked.
"Master Xun, you see what's going on, this Sima Yi's army is a little abnormal, could it be that they have some plan?"
Xun You frowned when he looked at the city, and then looked at this Dian Wei, and he naturally knew about Dian Wei's inquiry.
"No, I think it should be Fengxiao's strategy that has worked, Sima Yi wants to take Xuchang before Fengxiao."
Of course, Xun You knew that Guo Jia was leading his men and horses towards Yanzhou, so Sima Yi was going to attack Xuchang in advance.
If Sima Yi takes Xuchang down, then the most restless people should be them.
Sima Yi, if you want to take Xuchang this time, then you have to ask me if I agree.
Even if I lose this life, I will defend Xuchang.
"Don't worry, the military advisor will definitely not let Xuchang have anything to do with it." Dian Wei said after listening to Xun You's words.
After hearing this, Xun You also smiled and nodded, very pleased.
After all, he is still not good at killing the enemy in battle, and he still needs to rely on Dian Wei and the thousands of soldiers in this city.
The sound of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield, both inside and outside the city.
Cao Hong led the army to attack Xuchang, and all the siege materials were also used.
The Han army at the head of the city was also not to be outdone, and if they were defeated at this time, then it was also related to their lives.
So at this time, they are also very desperate.
The rain of arrows in the city continued to shoot towards Sima Yi's army under the city.
However, Sima Yi's army was at the forefront with shield soldiers, so with the resistance of shield soldiers, the defensive ability was naturally much stronger.
Moreover, the bows and arrows in the city, although Liu Wei had already told all the generals and military advisors that taking three-stage shooting could exert the greatest power.
But even so, the power of the bow and arrow still has certain limitations.
The soldiers who climbed up the siege ladder to the head of the city also began to fight at the head of the city.
Dian Wei saw someone climb up, and immediately picked up the iron halberd in his hand and cut it directly.
How could Dian Wei's strength be comparable to ordinary people, and the iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand was extremely sharp.
Therefore, as soon as the iron halberd came out, the soldier's head was directly cut off, and blood spurted out like a pillar.
And I don't know if Dian Wei's speed was too fast, even if the soldier's body was cut off, he didn't fall down for a while.
Even those soldiers who have been fighting for many years at this scene feel a little shocked and frightened.
But this is just a very small episode in the brutal war.
The battle lasted until the afternoon, and then Sima Yi's army was allowed to retreat.
At this time, there were already a lot of corpses of Sima Yi's army in the city.
It can be seen how fierce this battle is, and Cao Jun has many times with a lot of men and horses who have already attacked the head of this tower.
Cao Hong was in the heart of attribution, and Cao Hong led his men and horses to attack, of course, it was very desperate.
"Defeated?"
After Cao Hong returned to the camp, Sima Yi glanced at Cao Hong and didn't seem to be surprised, but just asked lightly.
"Although our army has attacked the city of Xuchang several times, the Han army on the city is also difficult to deal with and has been defeated."
Cao Hong looked at Sima Yi and said with some guilt.
Although it is said that it has been attacked several times, but so what, the final result is still defeated.
still didn't take down Xuchang City smoothly.
"Well, the army rests and continues tomorrow." Sima Yi nodded and said.
He was not surprised that Cao Hong could not take Xuchang at one time, all this was not an unusual thing.
If he could take Xuchang at one time, he wouldn't be so worried.
"Yes." Cao Hong really wanted to ask, it was difficult to take Xuchang in a short time, why did he attack like this.
In the end, Cao Hong still couldn't help but didn't ask, he was defeated, and if he asked, it would be unpleasant to find himself.
Sima Yi looked at Cao Hong, although Sima Yi had already seen what Cao Hong was thinking at this time.
However, Cao Hong didn't ask, and Sima Yi didn't plan to say.
Anyway, since he did this, he must have his own ideas, and there is no need to explain so much to Cao Hong.
Besides, even if he told Cao Hong, what could he do?
With Cao Hong's ability, knowing it is just that.
This time, he let Cao Hong attack Xuchang frantically.
Although Xuchang Xunyou can hold on for a while, Sima Yi believes that Xuchang will be his own one day sooner or later.
Besides, this time he let Cao Hong attack Xuchang at any cost, the purpose is not just a Xuchang.
Although Xuchang is part of his own calculations, as long as this siege can meet the requirements, then everything is enough.
Now that he is attacking Xuchang, how can Liu Wei ignore it.
Now that Liu Wei has taken Zhaoling back, then he already has a place to stop Cao Cao's attack from Changshe.
In this way, Liu Wei has even more opportunities to return to Xuchang.
In the battle between Changshe and Zhaoling, Liu Wei also suffered heavy losses, and to defend Zhaoling, Liu Wei definitely did not bring back many people.
So this time, you can directly target Liu Wei.
