Chapter 493: Cracking the Conspiracy
Seeing this situation, Pang Tong knew that he could no longer hesitate, once the Wei army really wanted to be unfavorable to Wei Yan, it would be too late for them to implement it.
"General Zidu, according to what I said to you before, go quickly, and then inform General Wei Yan of this matter before the battle, and bring him back." As soon as he thought of this, Pang Tong immediately said to Meng Da.
Meng Da naturally knew that this matter was urgent, combined with Zhang Liao touched the bow and arrow on his back, and then thought of the possibility that Pang Tong said to him just now, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly rode out of the front of the battle, and directly killed Wei Yan and Cao Zhang.
As soon as Wei Yan saw Meng Da actually come out of the formation, he showed a look of incomprehension on his face, he and Cao Zhang fought for more than 20 rounds, although he still did not win or lose, but he had already gained the upper hand, Cao Zhang only had the ability to parry under his sword technique, if Meng Da came to help at this time, it was really a little unreasonable.
When Cao Zhang saw Meng Da coming out of the formation, his face also changed, this time, but he never expected it before.
Just when the two of them were fighting with each other, they hesitated slightly, only to see Meng Da directly riding his horse to bypass the two, and when he arrived close to the Wei army, he was separated between the two and Zhang Liao, and directly pointed to Zhang Liao and shouted: "I have heard for a long time that General Wenyuan is in the middle of the day in the Wei State, Hefei Xiaoer, I heard the name of General Wenyuan and didn't dare to cry at night, I don't know if General Wenyuan can come forward to teach me today?" ”
At this moment, whether it was the defenders or the Wei army, all eyes were focused on Zhang Liao's body, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at Sima Yi, obviously such a change was out of their previous plan.
"General Wen Yuan, isn't he afraid of being defeated by me? Why cowering? Without waiting for Sima Yi's expression, Meng Da's words came one after another.
All the attention was attracted by Meng Da, disrupting Cao Zhang's previous rhythm, Cao Zhang's heart was very annoyed, so after blocking Wei Yan's knife, he also rode back to the side close to the Wei army, and temporarily truce.
"Zidu, why are you doing this? I am fighting with Cao Zhang, and I may not be able to distinguish the victory or defeat in a hundred rounds, wouldn't it be good to delay the time, you don't say if you can beat Zhang Liao, Cao Zhang returned to the formation, and I am afraid that this battle will be unsustainable. ”
Wei Yan saw that Cao Zhang had returned to his main formation, rode his horse to Meng Da's side, and asked in a low voice.
"This move was taught by Mr. Shi Yuan, before I waited in the formation to observe secretly, Cao Zhang intended to introduce you to the side of the Wei army, Zhang Liao probably wanted to secretly kill people in the formation, Mr. Shi Yuan sent me to disrupt his plan and bring you back to the formation."
Meng Da was afraid that Wei Yan would make some outrageous moves in front of the battle, so he hurriedly took advantage of the gap between Wei Yan and Cao Zhang to explain the matter to Wei Yan.
Now, Wei Yan recalled Cao Zhang's move from offense to defense after ten moves and the process of gradually luring him in the direction where the Wei army was, and nodded with palpitations.
Meng Da saw that Zhang Liao was still hesitating in the formation, so he shouted again: "Since the generals of the Wei State are all cowardly people, it is better not to try to capture my Shangyong again, and return to Yecheng quickly!" ”
After saying that, before waiting for any response from the Wei army, Meng Da and Wei Yan made a look, and the two directly rode their horses and turned back to the formation.
In the formation of the defenders of Jingzhou, Pang Tong had already made preparations, and when Wei Yan and Meng Da crossed the moat, he ordered everyone to retreat quickly towards the city gate.
And Cao Zhang, who failed in his strategy, was full of anger in his eyes at this time, he obviously couldn't understand why the Shangyong defenders would see through his intentions and retreat, at this time seeing that the defenders had retreated, he waved his hand and signaled the army to pursue directly.
But the Wei army had just arrived next to the moat, only to see that the defenders on the Shangyong city wall had already been prepared, a rain of arrows directly beckoned, and the dozens of Wei troops who rushed in front were shot to the ground in an instant, the Wei army was stunned, the Shangyong defenders had already withdrawn to the city, and the city gate was tightly closed.
Seeing this, Cao Zhang knew that he could no longer force forward like this, so he had to order all the soldiers to retreat beyond the moat and wait for the redeployment of the formation before attacking the city.
Under this battle, more than an hour has passed, the Wei army not only lost time, but also lost three Wuhuan warriors under Cao Zhang, while the defenders not only succeeded in delaying time, but also did not cause any losses.
"General Ziwen don't be angry, this Pang Tong is a famous adviser in the Central Plains, not the barbarians faced by General Ziwen in Wuhuan, before Yang Xiu, it was because of several carelessness that he suffered defeat, but this time it was only delayed for more than an hour, it is not an unacceptable thing, according to Yi's opinion, this time I will not think about tricks anymore, just attack wildly, if Shangyong can be broken within a day or two, even if the loss of tens of thousands of troops, it is worth it, without Shangyong, Liu Feng is not only difficult to protect Jingzhou, Yizhou will also become something in our pocket! ”
Now, Cao Chang naturally can't refute Sima Yi's words, Pang Tong's caution and strategy have been fully felt by him through the previous battle, and at this time Cao Zhang understands that this battle is not as simple as he thought before, the reason why Liu Feng can really pose a threat to Wei is not only because of his own ability, but also because of these good generals under his command.
"Okay, according to Zhongda's words, immediately start attacking Shangyong!"
These two sentences of Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, after two sticks of incense, turned into the Wei army that crossed the moat like a tide and poured into the gate and city wall of Shangyong.
Sima Yi divided his soldiers into two parts, one part took the lead in attacking the city, and the other part rested, hoping to ensure the continuity of the siege to the greatest extent in this way, and then consume the number and physical strength of the Shangyong defenders.
When the Wei army began to attack, Pang Tong and Wei Yan and others had returned to their previous positions, such a scene was already expected by Pang Tong, and now he was able to delay it for nearly two hours, he was already very relieved in his heart, and Meng Da successively killed the Wuhuan warriors sent by the Wei army in front of the formation, which really greatly encouraged the momentum of the defenders.
The offensive and defensive battle is boring, but even more tragic, waves of Wei troops fell under the city gate, but this time the Wei army brought small catapults and other objects also caused some casualties to the defenders, shouts, cries, roars are intertwined under the city, I don't know how long it will last......
