Chapter 702: Digging a pit to bury his own Cao Jun
On top of a high-rise building in the center of Xiangcheng, Yu Ban, Man Chong, Li Dian and others were dumbfounded, wanting to cry without tears.
How can this be? How can this be? Thisβthis is clearly playing tricks......
The generals of Cao Jun really wanted to cry without tears at this time, and there was a depressed feeling of lifting a stone to hit their feet. How can you do that?
People opened the city gate to let your new Han army attack the city, just to let you come in and fight us, but you are coming, people are waiting here. But how can you do that? How can you not come to fight, but do the work of demolishing the city?
Looking at the posture of the New Han Army, it seems that he really has to demolish the entire Xiangcheng before he is willing.
After demolishing all the city houses in the city, why are there any streets and alleys to deal with the New Han Army? Isn't this playing tricks on Rippy or what?
Originally, it was well designed, but first slowly reduced the military horses defending the city, pretending to be afraid of the trebuchets of the New Han Army. Let the Xinhan army bombard for a few days, and then pretend that we really can't stand your Xinhan army like this, let's open the city gate and invite you to come into the city to fight, okay?
Well, the gates have been opened for you, and you don't have to spend so much effort just bombarding us with trebuchets. Isn't your New Han Army known as invincible in the world? Is it strong? Isn't it indispensable? Then come, let's fight to the death in the city, we are waiting for you in the city.
Very good, the Xinhan army does seem to be the whole army dispatched, ready to attack in a big way, and we have sharpened our knives. You're going to kill it.
This killing came in, and a new Han army of men and horses was killed at each city gate. However, it was not as they imagined, the New Han Army did not bird the formation you arranged in the city at all, and we just didn't enter the criss-crossing lanes in the city. It's just that they take the outer walls of yours first.
And the more than 200,000 Cao troops who have been deployed in the whole city, they all received the streets and alleys that each team was responsible for at the beginning. For a moment, they couldn't leave the position where they were preparing to ambush the New Han army. Therefore, if the New Han Army does not come, it will be difficult for them to make corresponding changes. If they emerge from the alleys where they are hiding, it will not be an ambush, but a head-on battle with the New Han army. Fight an encounter, but what is the difference between this and their whole army outside the city and a decisive battle with the New Han army? They don't have much to fight back.
Therefore, they could only hide in the city, watching the army of the New Han Army occupy their Xiangcheng city wall, and watching the army of the New Han Army take stupid measures that none of them thought of or thought of, and actually demolished the houses in the city.
Now, whether it's Yu Ban or Li Dian. Whether it's full of favors or not, they're all blind, and no one knows what to do now.
At this time, even if they wave their troops to kill, there is no meaning, because the New Han army has already arranged a military formation, and they dare to rush out to kill, which is no different from sending them to death.
Of course. It's not too easy to demolish the entire Xiangcheng house, at least. Without ten days and a half of effort, it would have been impossible to really demolish all the houses in Xiangcheng.
But what about ten days and a half later? Their entire army had to have no place to hide, and they all had to be compressed in the central area of Xiangcheng, and then they would be ruthlessly killed by the New Han Army?
The Cao army in the city all fell silent, and they all looked solemn and a little flustered. Waiting for the orders of the generals above.
The Cao soldiers who were captured and hidden in the houses also sneaked away quietly, not daring to take the lead, because as long as they appeared, they would inevitably be attacked by the archers who were oppressed by the New Han Army step by step.
Arguably. Even if the Cao army wanted a chance to resist, the New Han Army would not give them.
"General Yu Ban, this is your plan to fight street battles with the Xinhan army? Hehe, Man has seen that even if the plan fails, there is still room to maneuver with the enemy, at least, it is always okay to die with the enemy, right? But if you look at it now, it is equivalent to giving the outer wall of Xiangcheng to the New Han Army, and then inviting the New Han Army to come and trap us in Xiangcheng. This kind of scheme is really powerful, the trick of digging a pit and burying himself, the old man is really the first time in his life to see it. "Man Chong had disapproved of Yu Ban's plan earlier, and now, in the face of the threat of death, he was so angry that he couldn't help but run the train with his mouth full.
Yu Ban's face was pale, but he couldn't find anything to refute Manzhong, even Li Dian had nothing to say, but these sarcastic remarks that were not full of favoritism, stared at him hatefully.
"Glare? How dare you stare at me? You Li Dian is so powerful, now that the New Han Army is in the city, you led the army to destroy them? Bah! A bunch of horsemen! This time, the old man was also miserable. Full of pets and fearless, he glared back at Li Dian and reprimanded.
"Enough! Mr. Man, we are rough people, you are the military advisor of the army, when you plan to fight with the Xinhan army in the streets, if you have any opinions, why don't you mention them? In the face of the kind of attack of the New Han Army, why don't you want to come up with a way to crack it? As long as you have a way, I will wait for 200,000 soldiers, even if they are broken to pieces, they will still fight according to Mr. Man's strategy. Now that it's all about that, what's the point? Yu Ban was also a little angry, and responded angrily.
"Haha, now I remember that the old man is a military advisor with the army? Didn't you say that if you have a different opinion, you are betraying the prime minister? Do you want to be cut off without forgiveness? You, the general of the unified army, have spoken, what else does the old man have to say? Man Pet laughed twice, mocking the forbidden road.
Yu Ban was speechless, and could only turn his head sideways depressedly.
"Manchu military division, now is not the time to talk about this, I don't know what other good strategies the military division has now that allows us to deal with the New Han army to the end?" Some of the Cao generals will stand up and play the round.
At this moment, if there is a discord between the high-level generals, then there is no need to fight this battle.
Seeing this, Man Zhong also grabbed his beard and said: "That's it, if the generals can listen to Man's words, then, in the current situation, we may not be a dead end." β
"Oh?" Yu Ban and Li Dian were both attracted by Manzhong's words, and they all turned their heads to look at Manzhong, hoping that these literati strategists, who were usually full of wisdom, could find a way to solve their current predicament.
Man Chong also ignored the two generals Yu Ban and Li Dian, and seemed to say to the other Cao Jun generals: "The way is not to say that there is none, but Man Mou doesn't dare to say it." β
"Mr. Manzhong, it was wrong with Yu before. If Mr. Man has a good plan, I hope to give him advice! For the sake of our relationship with the prime minister's ministers, we should trust each other, live in harmony, and deal with difficulties together, right? Yu Ban held back the anger in his heart. whispered to the full pet.
"Well, this makes sense, in other words, we are indeed in the same heat nest now, one is prosperous and the other is lost." Man Zhong swaggered at this time, pretending to be confident: "Speaking of which, if you say that you will fight to the death with the New Han Army, the old man really doesn't have any good strategy." Because the situation has been laid out, no matter what, we have no chance. Under such circumstances, who of you would dare to say that you can fight to the death with the New Han Army? Who would dare? β
Man Chonghuan glanced at the generals, and then fell on Li Dian and said: "General Li Dian is the most courageous, I don't know if General Li Dian still wants to fight to the death with the New Han Army now?" If you really dare, then Man Mou won't say much, let's just catch the chicken. I can only bite the bullet and follow you. β
"Ugh. The Manchu military division laughed. Li Dian's face darkened, and he squeezed out a hint of a smile and said.
"That is to say, our Cao army can't fight with the New Han Army anymore?" Shi Shiran asked, "Really?" Tell me! β
"How do we fight this? Now, the New Han Army has arranged their fierce bow and arrow array in the city, and as long as our soldiers show their figures, they will shoot thousands of arrows. Our army simply can't break out of the streets. It's a bit difficult to get close to the New Han Army. A general said with a pained look on his face.
"That is to say, all the generals think that this battle is unfought, do they? Case? The battle that can't be fought anymore, knowing that it will be fought again, and everyone I wait for will have to die, what should we do? Man Pang drank again and said, "Tell me everything!" β
The generals look your eyes on me. But they all shrank their heads and brains, and they didn't dare to answer.
"Knowing that it is death and can't fight, then you can only surrender or escape......" The generals did not respond, Yu Ban, the main general, had to respond, he said a little helplessly: "It is impossible to surrender, but if you escape, now the New Han army has occupied the outer fortified city of Xiangcheng and blocked all our retreats." How can we escape? Could it be that Mr. Man wants to say surrender? β
"Down...... It's not impossible...... But! Man Zhong has always paid attention to Yu Ban's expression, and when he saw the cold light flashing in Yu Ban's eyes, he hurriedly said solemnly: "The prime minister treats me well, how can we descend?" Even if it is death, it is absolutely impossible to surrender to the New Han Army! Therefore, we have no choice but to escape. β
At this time of the ban, he was indeed loyal to Cao Cao, and if Man Chong really wanted to surrender and stir them to surrender to the New Han Army, he might immediately rise up and kill or take down Man Chong. If the words of surrender come out from the mouth of the military advisor Manzhong, then it will immediately affect the morale of the Cao army, and it will directly make the Cao army, who is still determined for the time being, immediately disperse.
"Seeing that the Manchu army division seems to have a good plan, then please don't sell it anymore, under the current situation, how can our army let the whole army evacuate Xiangcheng safely?" Yu Ban is not a really stupid general, and at this time, he naturally saw that Man Chong should have a plan to let his army escape from Xiangcheng and jump out of the encirclement of the New Han Army.
"Okay, since that's the case, the old man will make it clear." Man Zhong said: "Dissatisfied with everyone, when you were preparing to arrange a street battle with the Xinhan army, Man felt that this plan might not be successful, so he and some other generals combined to open a secret road outside the city in our city. β
Man Chong raised his hand to block some generals who wanted to speak, and said: "There is some common sense, I don't know if you have noticed, in some areas where there are not dense rivers, there will be some secret passages for escape in ordinary cities, especially in cities in mountainous areas like Xiangcheng, there will generally be secret passages." The old man just found a secret passage, and now he has let people open it up and lead to the outside of the city. β
"Great!"
A group of Cao generals heard that there was a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, and they were all overjoyed, and now they were surrounded by the New Han army, compressing their living space step by step, at this critical juncture, who doesn't want to have a way to live?
"Stop!" Man Pet said in a low voice: "Don't be happy too early, there is a secret way, but, think about it, we now have more than 200,000 military horses, a secret road, a secret road that can only be used by one person at most, when will these 200,000 people and horses be able to withdraw from the city?" β
Full of favor's words, the generals fell silent again.
In fact, Man Chong didn't plan to tell the secret passage in the city in front of the generals, he wanted to use it as his own escape route in a critical situation. It's just that he thought that if he just escaped back, then Cao Cao would definitely not let him go, and Yu Ban, Li Dian and others must leave together, so that he could explain to Cao Cao that guarding Xiangcheng is not a crime of war, and they have done their best. If he was just greedy and escaped with his life, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to tolerate him.
In this way, there is no way, and the full pet has to tell this secret.
In order to be able to escape from Xiangcheng safely, and in the end, Cao Cao will not be condemned, and he may even be able to get a credit, and he can marry Yu Ban, Li Dian and other generals, and Man Zhong already has a comprehensive plan.
Up to now, full favor is equivalent to grasping the initiative and the right to speak in front of Yu Ban, Li Dian and other generals. He saw that the generals' expressions were uncertain, and he said calmly: "Everyone, do you have the intention of letting me and other generals escape for their lives first, leaving behind the 200,000 military horses in our Xiangcheng to flee for their lives?" If you think so, you're wrong. β
"Oh? Isn't that so? Yu Ban asked puzzledly.
"Humph! Do you think that with the secret passage, we can escape safely? To tell you the truth, that's impossible, and if you want to escape, you have to have foreign help. Otherwise, the area outside the city within a radius of more than ten or twenty miles is under the ear and eye monitoring of the New Han Army, and as soon as we show up, we will immediately be attacked by Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Which of you is sure that you can escape with your life under the iron hooves of the Xiliang Iron Horse? β
"So, what should I do?"
"Hehe, if all the generals are willing to listen to Man's orders, then Manchu has a plan, and he is somewhat sure that everyone can escape from Xiangcheng, and it is even possible to take most of the Cao soldiers out." Man Zhong pretended to be relaxed and said: "Because as soon as the secret passage was opened, Man immediately sent someone out to ask for reinforcements." Within three days, our reinforcements may reach outside Xiangcheng to meet our breakthrough. (To be continued.) )
