I saw that on the city wall facing Cao Zhang, a row of defenders held their bows and crossbows tightly in their hands, obviously ready to wait for them here, and his surprise attack failed.

What made Cao Zhang feel even more depressed was that behind the team of sergeants standing in front with bows and crossbows, all the shadows were Jingzhou defenders, almost standing on the city wall, such a scale, such preparation, and such morale, so that Cao Zhang had to suspect that he had probably fallen for Liu Feng's strategy again.

For a while, Cao Zhang, who led the army to stand outside the moat of Wancheng, was in a dilemma, in order to pursue speed, all the cavalry he brought over this time was cavalry, and there was no necessary equipment for attacking the city, this time it was discovered by the defenders, it was really a bit unexpected to him, if he waited here for the infantry who followed behind, it would take at least an hour, but that would undoubtedly make the defenders in the city more prepared.

In any case, Cao Zhang's at this time is a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, if there are really only three or five thousand old and weak soldiers in the city, Cao Zhang will naturally not have any fear, and will even lead these 20,000 tigers and leopards to ride around the side of Wancheng to seek opportunities, but the situation at this time is obviously not like that, the four walls of Wancheng are all covered with torches and defenders, which makes Cao Zhang dare not get too close to the city gate no matter where he is.

Cao Zhang thought for a moment, he really didn't want to give up, he fixed his eyes and saw that the main general standing in the middle of the city was a very young general under the light of the fire, and his heart suddenly moved, although Liu Feng was likely to leave heavy troops in this Wancheng, but the well-known generals were all brought to Shangyong to rescue, and Zhou Yu and Lu Xun in Jiangxia Cao Zhang also knew, so this young general, in Cao Zhang's heart, is likely to become a breakthrough in this battle.

After thinking about it in his heart, Cao Zhang made a ruthless look, and then opened his mouth.

"I am the brother of the King of Wei Cao Zhang, although Liu Feng led the army to Shangyong rescue, but has been intercepted and killed outside Shangyong by me and Sima Yi after breaking Shangyong, at this time Liu Feng and Zhao Yun and others are afraid that they are already more auspicious, I came here first to persuade you to surrender, if you and others surrender to my Wei country, you can also show your strength under my command in the future, you are a young general, don't know how to lift, once stubborn, wait until the army behind me arrives to break through this Wancheng, you don't have such a chance!"

Cao Zhang's rhetoric, if he faced an experienced general, it would naturally not play a role, but at this time, when he couldn't attack left and right, he wanted to cheat this young general first, once he could use this method to guide him out of the city, then this would almost be an action that played a major role in the battle situation.

At the beginning, Deng Ai on the head of the city was not moved, Deng Ai knew in his heart that what Cao Zhang said would not be the truth, if it was really as he said, he would not be so eager to use cavalry to sneak in to capture Wancheng, he could lead a large group of men and horses to slowly come to Wancheng City to attack, and the reason why Cao Zhang did this time was nothing more than because he could not guarantee whether there were Jingzhou people and horses behind him who were also rushing here, through this, Deng Ai had already judged in his heart that Liu Feng would definitely complete their plan in Shangyong, In that case, I don't know how long later, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao will definitely rush back to Wancheng to rescue, so Deng Ai only needs to spend as much time as possible with Cao Zhang.

In fact, if you only rely on the five thousand defenders in the city, not to mention the hundreds of wounded soldiers, Deng Ai knows that after the enemy arrives at the city, he will definitely see the emptiness of the guards in the city, so during the day, Deng Ai is busy with the matter of confusing the enemy army, he visited the famous families in Wancheng one by one, knew about it, and informed him of the serious consequences that would be caused by the destruction of Wancheng, and soon, These Wang clans, who had already admired Liu Feng very much, rushed to recruit all the strong men in their own mansion and the strong men in the families related to them in the city.

Under such a recruitment, Deng Ai suddenly got the prime of life with the number of 10,000 people, he dressed up these people, ordered them to put on armor and pick up weapons, pretending to be defenders and standing behind the real defenders, so as to give Cao Zhang the illusion that there were at least 20,000 defenders in Wancheng.

Although Cao Zhang was temporarily stabilized, Deng Ai also knew that once he talked to Cao Zhang, he saw any flaws because of his lack of experience, in case Cao Zhang used these 20,000 tigers and leopards to ride around the side of the city to raid the city gate, Wancheng would not be far from breaking the city. You must know that almost all the so-called soldiers on the side walls are disguised by the people in the city, and even if the enemy army reaches the city, they don't know what to do.

Seeing that Deng Ai was unmoved, Cao Zhang did not give up, he secretly thought that with Deng Ai's age, what he said just now would definitely have a great impact on his confidence, as long as he could make Deng Ai's mood unstable, then when the infantry arrived, it was still possible to capture Wancheng in a very short time.

After speaking several times, Deng Ai's figure at the head of the city loosened slightly, and finally opened his mouth, and what he said did add a little confidence to Cao Zhang's heart.

I saw Deng Ai take a step forward slightly and said in a loud voice: "You...... How can you prove it...... Confirm that what you say is true? ”

Cao Zhang naturally didn't know that Deng Ai had this stuttering problem since he was a child, in his mind, Deng Ai must have been frightened by what he said before, so he couldn't even speak, such a young general in front of Cao Zhang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he naturally had the confidence to deceive him.

"As long as you open the city gate, I will naturally not embarrass you as I said before, I am the brother of the lord of Wei, what is the point of deceiving you in this public?"

Cao Zhang's words were full of anger, and he did have a bit of momentum without anger, but what he didn't know was that the person he was talking to was not an ordinary young general, but Deng Ai, whose mind was almost as good as a middle-aged general.

"Both...... Since you are so high-standing, let me ...... I'll wait for some deliberation before making a decision! Deng Ai said such a sentence hesitantly, and while speaking, he turned back and looked at the deputy general beside him, making a hesitant look.
