Guo Jia saw Cao Cao laughing out loud, and hurriedly persuaded: "The lord is soft! Such laughter may frighten Yuan Jun! ”

Cao Cao still laughed and said: "It's okay, it's a few miles away from Yuan Jun here, and they may not be able to hear it no matter how loud they laugh." And even if you hear it, what can you do? They are already frightened birds, do they dare to raise troops to attack them? ”

"It's already a frightened bird? Don't dare to raise troops to attack? ”

These two sentences made Guo Jia thoughtful, and immediately took out his binoculars to look at Yuan Junjun's formation for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, scare them to death!" Lord, please order 500 people to sneak into the shadows and laugh and curse Yuan Jun non-stop, and it is best to transfer another military band over. Since Yuan Jun is already a frightened bird, then simply scare them! ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Clever plan, wonderful plan!" Where is Xia Houen? Quickly follow the plan of filial piety to do! Remember to be frightened, not to attack! ”

Xia Houen under the well fence obeyed the order and left, and after a while, bursts of laughter and scolding spread to the Yuan army's formation. In the dark night, Yuan Jun didn't dare to make a move, but his eyes widened more and more. However, everyone is getting more and more tired, and even a few bold ones just lie on the ground and are lazy.

Half an hour passed, Guo Jia looked at it for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Lord, it's the fourth watch of the night, it's time!" ”

Cao Cao had been closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Guo Jia's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes flashed in the dark night: "Okay!" Pass the order! The three armies beat the drums and attack! ”

The shouts of killing were everywhere, and Cao Jun, who had been recuperating all night, pressed towards the gate of Yecheng. On the other hand, Yuan Jun almost didn't even have the strength to hold his weapons tightly, and it seemed that there was no need to talk about the outcome of this battle......

――――――――――――――――――――

The periphery of the east gate of Yecheng is now in chaos, and there are shouts of killing and screams everywhere. The light of the Hokage's sword was intertwined in one place, blood and yellow sand mixed together. From a distance, it seems that this is not a battlefield on earth, but a purgatory of blood and fire. No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it in terms of the Shura realm.

Although Yuan Shang's men and horses were exhausted, they were frightened by Cao Jun all night. Morale and combat ability have greatly declined, but it must be Yuan Shang's old book at the bottom of the box, and he doesn't even have the strength to fight at the moment.

In fact, Yuan Shang seemed to have learned something from Yuan Shao's defeat after the Battle of Guandu, and after Yuan Shao's death, he had reduced the army on a small scale, and at the same time transferred the reduced troops to follow Cao Cao's Tuntian, and the remaining army strengthened its daily training. Compared with Cao Cao's army, it is naturally still worse, but it has achieved great results in several encounters with Yuan Tan, at least he has not suffered any defeats. It's a pity that Cao Cao won't give Yuan Shang any time to recuperate, otherwise Yuan Shang might have done better.

Now Cao Bing is taking advantage of the night to raid, which can be described as overwhelming at first. It's just that Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses outside the city were frightened, but they also reorganized their formations under the organization of school officials at all levels. The defense gradually became tighter. Maybe people are like this, if you keep being scared, it will make him nervous to the extreme, and even collapse eventually, but after being scared, it is likely to be inappropriate. Moreover, behind Yuan Shang's army is Yecheng, and having a strong city as a support can always give people some confidence.

In this way, Cao Bing intended to break the enemy and win, while Yuan Jun was trying to survive, and the battlefield had slowly fallen into a stalemate. Suddenly, Cao's army retreated for several miles. It didn't take long to change the formation, and after dividing into several teams, under the leadership of various generals, clashing back and forth from the outside of the Yuan army, it was like several sharp knives cutting off the tofu piece by piece, and the troops who followed behind the Yuan army from outside the Yuan army formation ate a piece. Soon the Yuan army was wiped out, numbering about several thousand. And Yuan Jun also hurriedly shrank the formation backwards. The slowly dense formation made Cao Jun unable to cut anything again, and could only turn to eliminate the "tofu blocks" that had been cut but not completely eliminated on the periphery.

Yuan Shang was already shouting hoarsely on the city gate tower at this time, and the trial who supported him on the side was also tired and sweaty. Yuan Shang looked at the teams of soldiers and horses outside the city that were divided by the Cao army and then eaten like wolves and tigers, and his heart felt as if he was dripping blood. But he did not have the courage to open the city gates and let the soldiers into the city or send another troops to rescue them. He feared that as soon as the gates opened, the soldiers outside the city would rush in, and he would lose the ability to defend effectively. I am even more afraid that Cao Cao will seize this opportunity to storm the city gate and enter Yecheng. In that case, he really has no chance of returning, and may even lose his own little life.

Guo Jia stood proudly on the well fence a few miles away from the battlefield, dangling back and forth with one hand holding the hemp rope that tied the wine gourd, and holding a telescope in the other hand to watch the situation on the battlefield carefully. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes showed a little disdain, and he snorted coldly: "Yuan Shang, judge, you two did a good job!" was able to hold the horns under the sudden attack of the night. But that's fine, the provincial lord should put some water to show weakness, and leave some 'tofu cubes' for you...... Judge, you are very good at defending Ye City, but when it comes to battle strategy, you are still a little worse. ”

Cao Cao, who was still standing with his hands in his hands on the side, closed his eyes and cultivated his gods, heard Guo Jia's cold snort, and asked in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, how is the battle going?" ”

Guo Jia still carefully observed the battlefield and did not answer immediately. After another quarter of an hour, Guo Jia took back his binoculars and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, it's okay now, Mingjin should withdraw his troops." The sky is about to dawn, and if they continue to fight, they are afraid that Yuan Shang and them will see something. ”

Cao Cao nodded, and ordered to the bottom of the well railing: "Mingjin retreats!" Team 2 Get ready! ”

The gong of the retreating troops sounded loudly, and Cao Jun outside the east gate of Yecheng decisively threw down some "tofu blocks" that had not been eaten and retreated. Looking at the corpses lying in pools of blood everywhere on the battlefield, the surviving "tofu blocks" were also a little relieved, and they leaned nervously towards the east city gate, for fear that Cao Jun would suddenly launch another attack.

Yuan Shang and the trial were worried about fraud, so they didn't dare to open the city gate immediately. In this way, the stalemate lasted for another hour, until the sky was completely bright, Yuan Shang asked the remaining soldiers outside the city to probe the sentry post, and after making sure that Cao's army had gone away, he quickly opened the city gate and brought the remaining troops into the city. Yuan Jun, who retreated into the city, saw that the city gate was slowly closed, and they could no longer support it, so they fell to the ground and gasped for breath to rest, and many people fell asleep after only a while.

Yuan Shang on the upper floor of the city gate was also tired enough, and after handing over the defense to the trial, he walked into the gatehouse to take a nap. Naturally, he didn't dare to be careless, and dispatched the soldiers left behind in Yecheng itself to go to the city wall to be vigilant.

"Oh! I'm finally willing to go to sleep! I thought you Yuan Shang was an iron man. ”

Guo Jia put away the binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and handed the binoculars back to Cao Cao, who was sitting on the side.

Cao Cao took it and put it aside, looked at Guo Jia's bloodshot eyes, and sighed lightly: "Fengxiao, you are tired after standing all night, just sit here for a while." ”

Although Guo Jia's eyes were bloodshot, he was full of energy. After kneeling down in front of Cao Cao, he smiled and said, "My lord, in half an hour, you can start attacking the city...... It's a bit boring to wait for an hour, is the lord willing to deign to play a game with Jia Xiaoyi? ”

Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "It's rare for Fengxiao to have such a Yaxing, how can there be a reason for loneliness not to obey?" Command someone to fetch chess. ”

Guo Jia said: "There is no need, Go is too time-consuming, but I am afraid that I have to start attacking the city before I finish a game of chess." Jia has a chess game with thirty-two pieces, and the time to finish a game is about the same. ”

Cao Cao said: "Okay, good, Lone will accompany Feng Xiaoyi for a game." Do you want some luck? ”

Guo Jia shook the wine gourd that was almost empty in his hand, and said with a smile: "If Jia is lucky to win, the lord may wish to give me some of the remaining wine in Yuan Shao's mansion after the city of Yecheng is broken." ”

"What if you win alone?"

"If the lord wins, Jia has no choice but to cut his love and lose the remaining three gourd wine in the account to the lord."

"A gentleman's word."

"Whip the horse!"

The chess pieces on the chessboard moved frequently, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were also constantly moving. In addition to the men and horses who fought at night and returned to the camp to rest, the real main force was divided into two teams, one team was less assembled at the west gate of Yecheng, and the other team with more people was all concentrated thirty miles outside the east gate where Cao Cao and Guo Jia were on standby.

Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's intentional on the part of Cao and Guo, the chessboard also shows a situation where Guo Jia's bicycle breaks the phase on one side, and the rook and horse artillery on the other side can drive into the general's dead chess at any time, but the most important thing is that there is a pawn on the side of the car and horse artillery that is firmly stuck in Xiangxin, so that Cao Cao's side is unable to mobilize back to defense.

Cao Cao looked at the chess game carefully for a long time, then suddenly abandoned the chess pieces in his hand and laughed: "Providence? The chess game is like a battle, and this time Yecheng will be broken! Feng Xiao, this game was lost. ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "The lord has agreed." ”

Cao Cao stood up and looked at the gate of Yecheng, and asked in a deep voice, "All the centaurs who were connected to Yecheng should be asleep at this time, right?" ”

Guo Jia said: "How can you be tireless when you travel day and night for several days, and then fight fiercely all night? ”

Cao Cao looked back at the chessboard, suddenly moved Guo Jia's car a step, and said with a smile: "General!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The trial on the tower of the city gate also didn't sleep all night, and at this moment he opened his eyes vigilantly and looked out of the city. Looking at the situation of the surrounding defenders, the situation is not much better, and many people are yawning.

Seeing that there seemed to be no movement outside the city, the judge said secretly in his heart: "Didn't Cao Cao come to take advantage of the situation to attack the city today?" Could it be that his soldiers were tired of fighting last night? If that's the case, then I'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief today. ”

After watching for a while and seeing no movement, the judge finally relaxed, leaning against the city wall and wanting to rest for a while. Just when he closed his eyes, there was a sudden earth-shattering shouting from the direction of the West Gate, and the judge was suddenly startled and shouted: "It's not good, it's a trick!" Cao thieves took advantage of the night to rob and kill, but did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city until dawn, and its meaning was really Ximen! (To be continued.) )
