CHAPTER 439 Role Reversal
Looking at Cao Hong and Cao Zhang's cold bodies lying on the ground, Cao Pi's heart was cold.
He touched his arm, feeling that the body temperature was not much higher than Cao Hong and them.
At this time, the Han army outside the city began to shout there again.
Cao Ren fought hard and went to the city wall to urge the army to defend, pretending to be calm and comforting everyone: "The strong walls of Yecheng City are high, and the ordnance and food reserves in the city are enough to support one year. As long as everyone holds on, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, plus Sun Quan's attack on Liu Bei's back road, the situation in the world will change, and we will definitely regain the lost ground again. ”
At this moment, he could only pray that there would be an unexpected turn of events like the previous battle with Guan Yu in Fancheng.
The shouts of the Han army outside the city seemed to be helping him speak: "Your sneak attack last night killed us badly!" You've burned a lot of our catapults! If you rush out and burn it again, we'll have no catapults!" ”
Cao Ren pretended not to hear, these animals, obviously they were in ambush, but they still wanted to say that they suffered a big loss.
You can't be so sarcastic!
They will reproach them: "Why do you hate catapults so much?" If you don't use it yourself, you won't allow others to use it. This was obviously invented by your Wei Wu, right? Do you hate him that much? ”
Cao Ren's head is big, is there such a charge for the family?
Han Jun scolded by name: "Cao Pi, you bastard!" How can you hate your dad so much? You can't even catch up with half of your father! Do you think that if we burn our catapults, we will not be able to attack the city? Don't forget, this is Yecheng! Your dad has already told us how to attack the city! ”
Cao Ren's heart tightened, and he was about to remember the past of Yecheng.
The Han army sent a phalanx of hundreds of people, shouting in unison to remind Cao Pi: "This is Yecheng!" When your father saw the difficulty of attacking the city, he brought in the water of the Zhanghe River and directly trapped the Yuan family's men and horses in the city, and he couldn't rush out if he wanted to! More than half of the people in the city starved to death, and in the end, the nephew who was judged opened the east gate at night and dedicated the city! ”
"Cao Pi, do you understand? Even if our catapults are burned down by you, we don't need to ask the gods for help, and we don't have to forcibly attack the city and damage our own soldiers, as long as we use your father's method to divert water to surround Yecheng, you can only wait to starve to death! ”
"Hahaha! In the way of the other, give back to the other. Use your father's method to starve you to death as an unfilial son, Cao Pi, you must be able to look at it, right? ”
"Cao Ren, please taste the taste of being flooded again!"
Cao Ren's body shook and his head was about to get dizzy, and the taste of being flooded with water was not pleasant.
Han Jun still did not give up: "You can see it, the difference in the color of the soil on this ground is still clearly recognizable." We will dig a ditch to divert water according to your father's position back then, and ensure that it can be exactly the same, and the score is exactly the same! ”
When they shouted, many Han soldiers really came out of the back of the queue, waved hoes and shovels, and began to dig earth and ditches.
And the shouting still kept ringing, this time not naming Cao Pi: "Listen to the Wei army in the city!" Don't have any more illusions about Cao Pi! You're in a worse position now than the defenders were back then! Back then, you could still count on the Yuan brothers to return to the army to save the city, but you won't have any more rescuers now! Xiahou Shang's troops have been wiped out, and many cities in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Jizhou have been taken down by us! Zang Ba has already cooperated with our men in Xuzhou to block Sun Quan together! You can't count on anyone! ”
"Wei soldiers, don't be obsessed anymore! Hurry up and catch Cao Pi and sacrifice the city, and you can also make a great contribution! ”
"Don't hesitate any longer, it's better to start early than late! If you don't do it again, the credit will be snatched away by others! Back then, there was a nephew who was judged to sacrifice the city, and this year, maybe Cao Ren's son is ready to make an internal response and open the city gate in order to survive! ”
Cao Ren's eyes were dark, you beasts, don't bring such slanderers!
The Han sergeants shouted loudly and full of confidence, and even Zhang Fei believed it: "Really? ”
Ge Liang laughed: "What is really fake, anyway, I want to shout until Cao Ren collapses, and Cao Pi wants to die." ”
Cao Ren is really about to collapse, this, this is a bloody mouth!
He went down the city wall, called his son over, and went with him to meet Cao Pi, and reported the cries of the enemy outside the city truthfully.
Cao Pi naturally didn't believe the enemy's words, so he asked Cao Ren to take his son to the city wall to inspect it, and let Cao Taixing also go and yell a few times to expose the enemy's nonsense.
Although he didn't believe it, it was hard to guarantee that those soldiers didn't believe it, if his own soldiers were suspicious, how could they defend the city wholeheartedly?
What really chilled Cao Pi's heart was not the enemy's deceptive nonsense, but those big truths!
What people said is not wrong at all, was this Yecheng besieged by the Zhanghe River attracted by his father, Yuan Shang came to rescue but was defeated, and finally fell due to internal rebellion?
And now, the water of the Zhanghe River is still flowing outside the city, what about the reinforcements? Cao Pi didn't know who else to count on now.
When my father besieged Yecheng, in addition to the Yuan brothers, there were also various separatist forces in the world, and they could be forced to withdraw at any time because of the attack on the rear, and now, Sun Quan can no longer count on it, and Liu Bei has no worries!
And if it really floods Yecheng again, the enemy outside the city can even withdraw some of its troops without any pressure!
Oh my daddy! You are really, you know that Yecheng can be surrounded by water, why did you still use Yecheng as the capital of Wei in the first place? Is it just to anger the dead Yuan Shao?
The flaws of Yecheng's city defense are now known to almost everyone in the defenders, how do you expect me to expect them to believe that perseverance will lead to victory?
Outside the city, the Han army rolled up their sleeves and dug the soil busily, really operating exactly according to the traces left back then, and even when the ditch was not dug for a long time, they began to lead the water of the Zhanghe River, as if they were afraid that the defenders in the city would not believe it.
The panic quickly spread through the city, and after only a day, Cao Pi felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and that he would stretch his neck and wait for someone to cut off his head.
He gathered everyone and decided to abandon Yecheng and flee north again.
This Yecheng is too far away from Luoyang, and it is an important place in the Central Plains, Liu Bei will definitely do his best to take it, it is better to go farther away, find a place a little more for the time being, or stretch Liu Bei's battle line, so as to have a chance to fight back.
"At the beginning, Liu Bei retreated from Fancheng to the place where he joined Sun Quan, and then united with Sun Quan to defeat us. Now, why don't we retreat a little further and retreat to a place where reinforcements can be found. He also found a plausible excuse.
This is Yecheng, all the family members and important materials are here, and they have been surrounded by the enemy, is it so easy to retreat? However, Cao Ren naturally knew that staying in Yecheng would end sooner or later, so he had to ask where to retreat and how to rush out.
Cao Pi had already thought about it: "Retreat to Youzhou." Although Zhuojun is Liu Bei's hometown, we have retreated to Yuyang and Youbeiping, no, let's retreat to Liaoxi or Changli. When we got there, it was impossible for Liu Bei to send a large number of troops to chase after him for a while, and Gongsun Gong of Liaodong might be afraid that Liu Bei would seize his territory, so he might send troops to fight with us. In addition, you can also unite the forces of Xianbei and Karasuma Huqi to fight Liu Bei together. ”
Then, he paused for a moment before he said slowly: "When Yecheng was besieged, there was still a person named Li Fu who came and went...... Liu Bei has always claimed to love the people, and he ......"
Alas, Liu Bei fled with the people back then, could it be that now that the two sides of the chase and escape are switched, Cao Pi has to learn exactly the same?
