The people in Wancheng, whether they are wang clans or civilians, in the county of Nanyang since Liu Biao's time has changed hands several times, after several wars, they really don't want to experience another city being breached, not to mention that Liu Feng has just granted amnesty to the world in Jingzhou, it is the time when the people in the city are most supportive of it, and the last time he faced the 300,000 army led by Yang Xiu, Liu Feng did not give up Wancheng, but personally sat in the city and finally repelled Yang Xiu, without losing a little territory in Jingzhou, This made the people's expectations for Liu Feng higher than anyone in this era.

Under such circumstances, the task of the two lieutenant generals was completed very smoothly, and almost all the people who learned about it expressed their willingness to contribute their own strength to defend Wancheng, and the easiest way to defend the city was to pick up rolling stones and other objects to greet the enemy's head, and it was even more confusing.

Watching the time pass little by little, and the follow-up troops of the Wei army have not yet arrived, Deng Ai's heart gradually calmed down, as long as the two lieutenants can successfully summon the people who have come to the city by themselves, so that they will not have any panicked actions when the enemy army begins to attack the city, so that Cao Zhang can see that they are not real defenders, then Deng Ai is still confident that he will hold Wancheng for at least two or three hours. And at this speed, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao should also return to the city to rescue.

After another while, seeing that Deng Ai was still standing firmly on the city wall, although the two lieutenants under his command were indeed explaining something to those defenders, but after listening to them, they did not look like they were about to abandon the city and surrender, but still stood firmly at the head of the city to guard, Cao Zhang's heart beat a little drum.

"How about you and the discussion, if it drags on like this, but it can't work, why don't you let me and others enter the city immediately, how about it?"

Cao Zhang took a few steps forward and asked in a loud voice to Deng Ai, who was standing at the head of the city.

"The general doesn't need to be so eager, if he can't persuade all the soldiers in this city, I'm afraid that it will be a little dangerous for the general to enter the city. Don't be anxious, general, wait a little longer, and I'll inform you of the outcome of this matter, how about it? ”

Deng Ai knew that this matter could not be concealed all the time, at this time, the deputy general under his command had already informed the people of what he had asked before, and those people did not have any riots, but were still confronting the Wei army at the head of the city, which made Deng Ai feel at ease, at this time, he was no longer afraid that Cao Zhang would learn that he was just playing on the spot, because Cao Zhang's troops who could really attack the city had not yet arrived.

"I see that you don't know whether you are alive or dead, quickly open the city gate, if not, within an hour, let all the heads of your people hang on the head of this Wan City, heaven or hell, you can choose for yourself!"

Cao Zhang is not a reckless man, seeing that Deng Ai's speech was calm at this time, and there was no previous stammering, he knew that he was most likely deceived by this kid before, so he made a decisive threat.

The matter has come to this, Deng Ai has nothing to hide in his heart, looking at the people behind him who are still very nervous, Deng Ai simply gritted his teeth, and said sharply to the city: "Cao Zhang, you don't have to quibble here, I have just received a secret report from General Zilong in advance, and you have nothing to find in Shangyong, so I came to my Wancheng to try my luck in desperation, but how can my lord Liu Feng be calculated by Sima Yi and others?" If you don't believe it, even if you attack the city, my city has already prepared all kinds of equipment for you, if you don't hurry up, when General Zilong and General Meng Qi lead the army back, then we will attack twice, and if we want to attack the city, we will not even have a chance! ”

Deng Ai's words were half-true, but it was a great encouragement to the people behind him who knew little about the situation at this time, and after they learned that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were on the way back, their eyes showed excitement, and their nervous expressions suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Shaft! Hugh has to be honest, if you go out of the city to fight with me in front of the battle, it will not be in vain for your courage to be blinded by me! ”

Cao Zhang's radical method, if he encounters an ordinary young general, it may still work, but when he encounters Deng Ai, it obviously will not play any role.

After Deng Ai mobilized the enthusiasm of those people, he didn't say anything, and let Cao Zhang send people to insult and threaten under the city, but he didn't say anything anymore.

Without those foot soldiers and ladders, Cao Zhang really couldn't attack the city, and Deng Ai didn't move him, and he had no choice but to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

Finally, less than half an hour later, there were sporadic fires in the distance, Deng Ai still couldn't see it clearly, but he saw that after the scouts under Cao Zhang's command returned and returned, Cao Zhang was deploying those cavalry one by one, and he knew that this time it must be the follow-up troops of the enemy, not Zhao Yun and Ma Chao that he was looking forward to.

Deng Ai and the defenders in the city knew that the real test they had to face since Liu Feng left was finally about to begin......

At this time, Cao Zhang, for Deng Ai in the city, he was actually played by a young man who looked no more than twenty years old, it was really intolerable, Cao Zhang had already made up his mind in his heart, once Wancheng was captured, he must hang the head of this young man who did not know his name on the head of the city, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

After the army arrived, they didn't get a moment of rest, Cao Zhang knew that behind them were Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, but he didn't know how much time would come, so almost at the same time as those foot soldiers arrived here, Cao Zhang ordered him to ride the ladder he carried, and began the attack on Wancheng in the night.

Standing in the first row at the head of the city were the 5,000 elite soldiers left by Liu Feng for Deng Ai, most of them armed with bows and crossbows, and they tried their best to use torches and moonlight to aim at the Wei troops who rushed to the front, and tried their best to shoot them.

But the Wei army climbed to the top of the city, it was a matter of time, those people with rolling stones and other things in their hands, at first there was still a little bit of a hand, after all, as soon as they let go, the solution may be the same as their own fresh life, which makes these people who usually kill poultry and other things at most struggle very fiercely.

But when a Wei soldier climbed up to the top of the city with a steel knife in hand, and the death of a Wancheng people began with a knife, this situation finally changed, when they saw their brothers, villagers and neighbors were killed by the enemy in this way, they finally understood what the real war was, they put down the burden in their hearts, turned the rolling stone in their hands into weapons, and threw it down with all their might.
