When Ge Liang arrived at Yecheng with Huang Yue and Deng Bao, Zhang Fei had been stationed there for more than ten days.

Seeing that the enemy just couldn't hold out, Ge Liang consulted with Zhang Fei: "They probably want to wait for reinforcements to come." It shouldn't be boring for you to challenge people here every day, so it's better to take the cavalry out to the north again, and pacify Jizhou and Youzhou first, and by the way, you can go home to see. Although Wei Yan has already gone first, but that guy is disobedient and acts on his own, I don't know what else will happen, you go to discipline him? ”

"When I catch him, I'll kill him!" When Zhang Fei left Bingzhou and returned to Tongguan, he told Wei Yan to go south, but that guy was disobedient, which reminded him that he hadn't whipped anyone for a long time.

But he didn't want to chase Wei Yan now: "I'm here to chase Cao Pi!" Now Cao Pi is inside, and when he takes Yecheng, it is a big deal to catch him and cut him. Besides, if I ignore Yecheng's northward advance, how can I have to fulfill the will of Emperor Ming first, right? ”

Ge Liang shook his head and said: "When we entered Yizhou, we didn't go straight to Chengdu, and we took advantage of the chaos to pacify other places first, cutting off Cao Pi's back way to continue to escape." Then we dig a river channel and bring in the water from the Zhanghe River, so that they can't escape if they want to. Then they spent a year in water prison and then starved to death. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Fei was surprised, "It's going to take another year?" Didn't you ask some kind of knock knock and boom god to help? Me, I want to see how you fly? ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands from side to side and swung them a few times, making a splash up and down.

Ge Liang hurriedly nodded again and again: "That's how to fly." The general's name is really not called in vain, and you can fly with your hands open. ”

Zhang Fei glared at Ge Yi, but turned to Huang Yue with a smile and asked, "You, look at me, can you also go up and fly once?" ”

Huang Yue shook his head again and again in horror: "Then I don't dare." Not to mention that it takes a long time to train to fly, and it depends on talent, and it is very dangerous. DID YOU KNOW? He has been flying for so long, and he fell from the sky in Xuchang a few days ago, and almost fell into meat sauce. If something happens to you, we can't afford to kill us. ”

She said as she pointed at Deng Bao.

Deng Bao didn't care at first, but then cooperated with Huang Yue, his face trembled with horror, and he stroked his chest vigorously: "It's not, I'm scared to death!" If it weren't for the fate, it happened to hang on the tree, and now where would I have the life to stand here with my aunt and husband. ”

Ge Liang also hurriedly dissuaded: "You can't fly." You are so old, too old, where can you withstand this toss? Even I never flew. ”

"Say I'm old?" Zhang Fei was not convinced, and was about to roll up his sleeves, "I still want to say that I am younger than you." Why don't we get into a fight and see whose bones are loosened first? ”

Ge Liang didn't dare to accept this trick, so he could only change the topic: "Since you are not suitable to chase Wei Yan, then let Zhang Wei chase it." In addition, we both repaired a book, reprimanded Wei Yan's guy, and asked Zhang Wei to take out the letter when he was arguing with him. ”

Zhang Fei also wanted to talk about Fei, but Ge Liang took out another letter: "This is a letter written by the emperor to Tian Yuhe and Liang Xi, you can also write another letter to them and send someone over together." ”

More and more Han troops have arrived in Yecheng, and catapults have also arrived. Ge Liang's old trick was repeated, and he began to pile up mountains of earth in the southeast outside the city.

The city has become a mess, seeing that there are more and more enemies, and their own reinforcements are few, not only come less, but also basically outside the city by the people are left behind, the remaining men and horses into Yecheng, can not play a role in the defense of Yecheng, but increase the panic of the original defenders.

Ge Liang and Zhang Fei also often asked people to shout outside the city, or shoot letters into the city to inform the defenders of the outside world. Whoever led the troops to Yecheng, there was a mutiny on the road; Before any of the fortified cities in Jizhou could react, they had already been quickly killed by Wei Yan, Zhang Wei, and Ma Dai with cavalry, and the soldiers occupied the city without blood......

Cao Ren can't stand it!

Seeing that the enemy's dirt and mountains are piling higher and higher, and seeing that the old things in Xuchang are about to be staged again, isn't this intentionally humiliating?

Although he didn't believe that Liu Bei could summon gods, the problem was that he Cao Ren couldn't come up with a convincing statement.

If you have to say that it's not that the enemy can communicate with the gods, it's that he, Cao Ren, is becoming more and more incompetent, and he can't even stop the enemy's wave of siege.

Listening to the myths of the enemies in the city, he must not sit idly by!

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Cao Pi for instructions to go out of the city to fight, destroy the enemy's catapult used to throw earth and stones, and kill the enemy's arrogance and increase the confidence of the defenders in the city.

Cao Pi didn't know what to do, so he only hesitated and asked, "This, can it work?" ”

Cao Hong stood up and gave Cao Ren a help: "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to give it a go!" ”

He was previously punished by Cao Pi's revenge and has been idle in Yecheng, but now at a critical moment, he has been activated again.

Cao Pi lost that confidence: "Don't fall for the enemy's tricks again." ”

Now there are so many people in the city, if they rush out to fight a defeat again, won't everyone's confidence collapse even more?

Cao Hong can speak loudly now: "Seeing that the enemy is attacking the city and plundering the land elsewhere, and there is no way to defend here, everyone in the world must think that the Cao family will die." What's the use of guarding this lonely city all the time? It is better to give it a go, inflict heavy losses on the enemy, in order to strengthen the will of the defenders in the city, and at the same time give the Great Wei Guards all over the world confidence, share the same hatred of the enemy, and jointly resist the enemy. ”

Everyone agreed, and it was decided that Cao Hong would lead 3,000 tigers out of the city at night, touch the vicinity of the enemy's Tushan, set fire to the enemy's catapults, and then Cao Ren and Cao Zhang took the fire as the signal to lead the army out of the east gate and the south gate, attack the enemy, and receive Cao Hong back to the city.

At the second watch of the night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, Cao Hong led everyone to carry oil and firearms, quietly lowered the rope from the city, and touched it near Tushan.

He had the army walk around from both sides, heading straight for the enemy's catapult behind the dirt mountain, while he himself took a dozen guards and stepped on the soft soil to climb to the top of the dirt hill to see the whole situation and direct the movement of the army.

When I got to the top, I saw that the lights in the enemy camp behind me were dim, and it was quiet, only the long throwing rods of the dozen or so trebuchets were shining in the firelight, throwing long shadows in all directions, like giant monsters with teeth and claws.

Cao Hong gritted his teeth with hatred, these enemies were so rampant that they actually set their positions so close to the city!

Estimating that the army had already reached the corresponding position, he ordered his entourage to take out the fire sickle oil and light the fire!

"Kill!" When the Wei army saw the signal, they pulled out the camp fence together and rushed in, lighting torches and throwing them around.

"Kill!" Cao Ren, who was at the south gate of the city, saw the light of the fire and hurriedly led his army out of the city.

"Kill!" Cao Zhang, who was at the east gate of the city, also saw the firelight and shouted to kill it.

Cao Zhang shouted too hard, and the sergeants also shouted too loudly, so they didn't hear clearly, and there were several heavy crashing sounds in the darkness.

A rain of stones fell, and the Wei army, which was rushing hard, was smashed to the ground.

Cao Zhang was more unlucky, and a boulder smashed on top of his head impartially.

He fell from his horse and could no longer shout to kill.

Cao Ren's luck at the south gate was better, those stones fell, they all fell far behind him, and knocked down a large number of sergeants who were rushing out of the city gate.

Hearing the screams coming from behind, Cao Ren immediately felt that something was wrong, and then he heard the terrifying impact sound, and quickly turned around: "Quick!" Fall back! The enemy is ready! ”

He's played catapults!

It's just that he couldn't understand how these enemies knew that they would go out of the city tonight to sneak attack, and they quietly set up catapults so close outside the city.

Cao Hong was on the dirt mountain, watching his sergeant rush into the enemy camp with torches in hand, but found that more torches were lit up outside the camp at the same time, and they were rushing towards this side.

Not good, the enemy is in ambush! Cao Hong hurriedly waved his torch and shouted "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”

Then, he himself hastened down from the dirt mountain.

The earth and mountains were all piled up with floating soil, and as soon as he walked in a hurry, his feet sank in, and Cao Hong rolled down from them as soon as he stepped on the air.

It's okay! Since the soil is soft, it will not kill people. Cao Hong got up and continued to run.

But the enemy was coming from both sides, and there was no gate for him to get into, and he had roped down from the wall.

When he stumbled under the city wall, he had just grabbed the rope and climbed two steps, when the Han army behind him chased after him.

In the dark, a random arrow was fired, and he could neither see nor dodge in the air, so he was hit by several arrows in an instant, and his hands were released and fell to the ground.

Several sharp arrows in the back immediately pierced through the chest!
