Chapter 712: Zhuge fights Zhou Yu again
In the middle of the night, Cao Chun led three thousand soldiers in the direction of Xiangyang City according to Sima Yi's strategy.
Naturally, after all, it was the siege of Cao Chun, but it was not the tiger and leopard rider under his command.
The 3,000 soldiers, almost all of whom were infantry, took advantage of the darkness of the night to head towards Xiangyang.
Although Cao Chun was unhappy in his heart, but when the army set off, he was also stern, and even if the soldiers had any complaints in their hearts, they were all suppressed.
However, although Cao Chun was very cautious, Cao Chun also knew that this night attack was basically impossible.
Everything was just as Cao Chun thought, their army had just arrived outside Xiangyang City, and they had already been discovered before they launched an attack.
The torches on the head of Xiangyang City were directly lit up again, illuminating the surroundings of the city.
"Cao Chun, you really led the troops here, I really didn't expect that you would dare to lead the troops to die at this time."
At the head of the city, Tai Shici looked at Cao Chun under the city and said with a smile.
I thought that Cao Jun would not send someone to come, but even if he did, I was afraid that it would be Cao Ren.
But even so, Tai Shici naturally won't express it, so as to improve the morale of his soldiers.
"Tai Shici, if you have a kind, you will go out of the city to fight with me."
Cao Chun looked at Tai Shi Ci at the head of the city and shouted.
When he was fighting Zhao Yun, he had already noticed that Tai Shi Ci's martial arts were also extraordinary.
But it is precisely because of this that he is so provocative, hoping that Tai Shici can go out of the city to fight.
Once Tai Shici goes out of the city to fight, even if there are no reinforcements for his 3,000 people, he will naturally kill more Han troops at that time.
After all, when they leave the city, they will lack the favorable protection of Xiangyang City, which is naturally beneficial and harmless for them.
Tai Shi Ci glanced at Cao Chun, and then laughed, "Cao Chun, do you think that with your little provocation, I will fall for your tricks?" ”
This Cao Chun only has about 3,000 people, how can he go out.
He gave up the favorable terrain and went out of the city to fight Cao Chun, how could he do such a stupid act.
Besides, if it is a plan, it is small that he is injured or killed in battle alone, but if he loses Xiangyang, it will be a big deal.
Because of his own recklessness, as a result, Zhuge Junshi's plan failed.
Such a risk, Tai Shi Ci naturally would not take it.
"Give me the arrows." Then Tai Shici directly asked the soldiers at the head of the city to shoot arrows at the Cao army under the city.
For Tai Shici, this is his own answer, and it is also the best answer to Cao Chun.
Although Cao Chun was angry, Cao Chun also knew that this was a very normal thing, if Tai Shi Ci really went out of the city.
Then he will only think that Tai Shi Ci is a reckless man, although he likes such a reckless man, but Tai Shi Ci is not such a reckless man after all.
"Give me a siege." Cao Chun immediately ordered his soldiers and began to head towards Xiangyang in the rain of arrows.
Siege engines and siege ladders have also begun to be erected.
"Just 3,000 men and horses, and they also want to attack the city, brothers, kill them all." Tai Shi Ci saw it at the head of the city and immediately ordered again.
Cao Chun led 3,000 men and horses not to retreat, but to attack the city so actively, thinking that there must be a problem.
But having said that, Tai Shici also knew that now was not the time to pursue this issue.
For himself, the most important task now is to kill the Cao army who are besieging the city.
Cao Chun looked at the soldiers who kept climbing up to Xiangyang, but they were shot down one by one.
He also felt very uncomfortable, although he had already known that this might be the result.
But since he brought people and horses, more than 3,000 people and horses, they didn't come to Xiangyang to go through the motions and visit.
Therefore, it is inevitable to attack, and the same is true of sacrifice, even if Sima Yi really has some strategy.
I'm afraid that tonight's failure will also be part of his plan, and if he withdraws immediately like this, then the gains will outweigh the losses at that time.
In less than two hours, the 3,000 men and horses led by Cao Chun were already few left this time.
Cao Chun knew that there was really no way to attack now, and it was impossible for him to climb up the ladder himself as the main general now.
If that's the case, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to go back alive at that time.
"Retreat." Cao Chun immediately ordered the army to retreat, and then led the men and horses in the direction of the camp.
Seeing Cao Chun's army retreating, Tai Shi Ci at the head of Xiangyang City naturally wouldn't chase after him.
On the contrary, Tai Shici still had a feeling of relief, this Cao Chun's attack this time was clearly like sending him to death.
He wasn't worried about Cao Chun's 3,000 men, but Zhuge Liang once said that this Sima Yi was also good at strategy.
Therefore, Tai Shici was naturally more worried about whether this would be Sima Yi's strategy, so that he would have some backhand.
But now that Cao Chun has retreated, he naturally doesn't need to worry.
Besides, two hours have passed, and it is almost dawn, even if Sima Yi really has any plans, he is afraid that there will be no time.
Cao Chun was defeated, and there were almost a few hundred people left of the three thousand people, and Sima Yi was not surprised by this result.
So Sima Yi naturally didn't say anything to punish Cao Chun, even if it was just a posture.
On the contrary, after Cao Chun came back, he also said a lot of words of encouragement and comfort to Cao Chun.
This made Cao Chun even more confused, he asked Sima Yi what his plan was, but Sima Yi didn't say anything.
Cao Chun can now see that Sima Yi must have his own plan, but this time it was a bit unexpected.
This Sima Yi didn't even tell himself, Sima Yi used to say even if he had any strategy.
Could it be that Sima Yi doesn't trust himself anymore?
Soon Cao Chun shook his head, although it was said that Sima Yi was in charge now, but everyone was in charge of Cao Gong.
What qualifications does he have to trust and distrust, if he really doesn't trust himself, I'm afraid that he will find ways to take away the command of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
It wasn't until the next day that the sky was already lit up, and Tai Shi Ci officially took off the guard of the city.
"Ziyi, you really worked hard last night, so leave it to me today." Gan Ning looked at Tai Shici and said.
Tai Shici nodded, yesterday, he didn't dare to relax after staying in the city for a day and a night, so he was naturally tired.
On the other hand, after Zhuge Liang took over the remaining 8,000 people, he didn't do anything except let those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers strengthen the city defense.
Huang You suddenly couldn't sit still, "What does Zhuge Liang want to do, he has already obtained the military power, but he doesn't do anything." ”
Huang You knew for a long time, Zhuge Liang had been letting those old, weak, sick and disabled people strengthen the city defense, so this is no different from doing it or not.
"Huang Taishou don't be anxious, now this Yufa County has also been lost, this Jiuzhen County, only this Xupu County is left, this Zhuge Liang is afraid that he will not be able to play tricks."
Cheng Bing looked at Huang You and opened his mouth to admonish.
In Cheng Bing's opinion, now that Zhuge Liang has taken over this burden, there is naturally nothing to worry about.
"Lord Taishou, instead of worrying about what Zhuge Liang is going to do, it is better to think about how to escape when the time comes, this Xupu is lost." Cheng Bing still half-squinted his eyes, and said with some sinister eyes.
"Look, Lord Cheng is looking forward to it, Ben Taishou has lost his fiefdom." Although Huang You knew that what Cheng Bing said was the truth.
But looking at Cheng Bing like that, he was also very unhappy in his heart, after all, this Jiuzhen County was his territory no matter what.
"Don't dare, Huang Taishou misunderstood, but now we are all people with one position, Cheng Bing naturally wants to think about Lord Taishou."
Cheng Bing looked at Huang You and said with a smile.
Just as they were still discussing, someone had already come, "Mr. Zhuge has already gone up to the city tower, and Zhou Yu's army has also arrived." ”
As soon as Huang You and Cheng Bing heard this, they immediately went to the city.
However, when they arrived, they saw that Zhou Yu's army was retreating.
The two immediately looked at each other, and then looked at Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Zhuge , what's going on?" ”
