"Whoa."

It was night, and the night was deep and dark. Only the sound of the majestic rain pouring down kept ringing.

"Da-da-da-da."

Even in such weather, there were still many soldiers of Chen Shengjun patrolling the city wall, wearing robes, facing the wind and rain, and carefully guarded.

Wu Xiang is such a soldier, he is a veteran of Xiliang. In the era of Dong Zhuo, he followed Zhang Ji, then followed Zhang Xiu, and now follows Chen Sheng.

As a veteran, he has a lot of experience. Similarly, because Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Chen Sheng are in the same lineage, he is also very loyal to Chen Sheng.

Therefore, even in this kind of ghost weather, Wu Xiang did not complain about anything in his heart, not only did he not complain, but he was particularly vigilant and careful.

"General Chen is lenient and benevolent, and he is eloquent in martial arts. The real me Xiliang husband also. It is hoped that this battle will allow the general to survive safely and grow stronger. ”

Wu Xiang said secretly in his heart as he walked.

"Bang la la blah." At this point, the rain falls faster, as if the sky is falling, dumping the rainwater. Wu Xiang tightened the clothes on his body to prevent more rain from penetrating the clothes and wetting his body.

Even so, the rain still flowed through the cracks in his coat, making him feel cold.

But Wu Xiang's not only did not speed up his pace and hurriedly completed the patrol task, but he was more cautious. Because in this ghost weather, it's also a good time for a sneak attack. You can't leave the city behind because of the arduous task.

"Boom."

At this moment, a loud roar rang out.

"What's going on?" Wu Xiang was dazed for a moment and asked. The soldiers in the surrounding team were also at a loss. And at this moment, a loud roar rang out.

"The walls are falling, the walls are falling."

"Boom."

Immediately after, another loud bang rang out.

Suddenly, the faces of Wu Xiang and the nearby soldiers suddenly lost their blood, and they were extremely pale.

The walls have collapsed, how is that possible? Wancheng is very strong, even if the rain is heavy, it will not be like this. How did it collapse?

But the two loud bangs just now are still in my ears, could it be that the city wall really collapsed?

So what's next? Cao's army had a large number of troops, including forty or fifty thousand people. And the number of troops in the city is only 120,000 at most.

If you lose the city, how can you resist?

Wu Xiang, as an old pawn, can also distinguish the strength and weakness of the two sides to some extent. He contrasted in his heart, and his hands and feet suddenly became cold.

Could it be that God is going to destroy our Xiliang forces?

Heavy rain and the collapse of the city walls. It was not only Wu Xiang who was frightened, but almost the entire Wancheng was shocked.

General Chen Sheng's mansion, Chen Sheng's bedroom in the backyard.

Chen Sheng is now a general, not to mention his high position, and he needs personal protection. Let's just say that there is something temporary, and someone needs to report it. Therefore, outside Chen Sheng's bedroom, there was always a team of ten soldiers guarding it.

These guards also heard the collapse of the city wall and the panicked voices of the soldiers, and for a moment they were also panicked, and they looked at each other.

At that moment, there was a "squeak", and Ben's tightly closed door was opened. Chen Sheng put on thin clothes and walked out.

"General." Seeing this, the guards hurriedly hid the panic in their hearts and saluted.

"What's going on?" Chen Sheng naturally knew what was going on, but he pretended not to know, frowned and asked.

"General Hui, there was a loud bang just now, and it seems that the city wall has collapsed."

The chief of the guards replied with his mouth open.

"What?" Chen Sheng's complexion changed, and his breathing suddenly became short. However, Chen Sheng quickly calmed down again, waved his hand and shouted: "Order Wei Yan to lead the soldiers and simply repair the city wall with wood." He also sent soldiers to be stationed near the collapsed city wall to prevent Cao's army from rushing through the gap. ”

"No." Shi Chang was panicked, but after hearing Chen Sheng's order, he quickly picked up his confidence, promised him, and sent a guard to deliver the order.

Immediately, Wei Yan led his soldiers to rush to the collapsed city wall overnight, using wood to repair it temporarily, and leaving the soldiers on guard.

Liao Hua, Fang Gu, Zhou Cang, Wei Yan, Hu Che'er, Jia Xu and other civil and military officers entered Chen Sheng's general's mansion to "discuss" this matter.

Much like what happened after the collapse of the city walls.

After this, Liao Hua ran away from the south of the city without anyone knowing, only slacking off three or five followers with him, and went to Xiangyang to ask for reinforcements.

And Chen Sheng used Jia Xu's best strategy, the ultimate goal was to attract Cao Ying to attack, use Liao Hua as an envoy, attract Liu Biao to come to reinforcements, and finally kill the sky in the dark. All three parties bear a little loss.

Of course, if you see the right opportunity, you can also reap the benefits.

However, the ultimate goal of this is to ask Cao Ying to withdraw his troops early and go back to the north. In this way, Chen Sheng can have spare time to develop his forces and encroach on Jingzhou.

And now Liao Hua has gone to ask for reinforcements, on the other hand, if Cao Ying is not fooled, everything will be in vain.

And Cao Ying was not fooled?

At that moment, Cao Ying's heart was really pounding.

In the dark night, Cao's army camp was very quiet. Except for the soldiers of Cao who had to patrol and stand guard, the rest of the soldiers went to bed early.

No soldier wants to stay outside in this hellish weather, not only the huge rain, but also the muddy road, which is not suitable.

Therefore, the Cao army camp was quiet. However, this silence was shattered.

"It's not good, the city is collapsing, the city is collapsing." The city wall collapsed violently, and in the shouts of Chen Sheng's soldiers, almost panicked.

The entire Cao army camp was a sensation. The ordinary Cao soldiers woke up, braved the rain, rushed out of the camp, stepped on the muddy ground, and looked in the direction of Wancheng.

In this dark night, there is a violent storm, and it is naturally impossible to see clearly. However, this did not prevent the mood swings of Cao's soldiers.

"Wancheng really collapsed?" Sergeant Cao was still skeptical and asked.

"It should be true. As the saying goes, this really can't be fake, and it can't be fake. It's night, and it's still raining, but if you wait for daylight, you can see clearly. Therefore, there is no need for Chen Sheng to fake, then it proves that the collapse of the city wall is real. ”

Sergeant Cao analyzed.

"That's great. Wancheng Zhang Xiu and Chen Sheng, the two cousins, are all hard bones. In addition to the strength of the Xiliang soldiers, the city of Wancheng is strong. Now that Wancheng has collapsed, it is about to perish. This time, we can go back to the Central Plains early. ”

Suddenly, Sergeant Cao said happily.

The soldiers are also human beings, and they also have wives and children, so they are naturally happy to be able to return home early. As the soldier's happy voice sounded, many Cao soldiers suddenly fell into joy.

The soldiers rejoiced and rejoiced. And the generals were not idle, one by one, the generals, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin, Man Chong, Wenchen Xun You, and Cheng Yu all woke up, they hurriedly washed up, resisted the rain, stepped on the mud, and went to the big tent of the Chinese army.

At the same time, Cao Ying also woke up. In the big tent of the Chinese army, the lights are bright. Cao Ying was wearing a thin shirt and knelt on the handsome seat very casually.

However, Cao Ying's face is not casual and unpredictable, one moment is heartbeat, and the other is suspicious and hesitant.

Exciting. Cao Ying's pounding heart is completely normal.

Regardless of this battle, Cao Ying responded to the opinions of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and slowly tried to do it. Strive to face Chen Sheng's army alone, without involving Liu Biao.

The purpose is just to eliminate Chen Sheng.

In this waiting that does not give Liu Biao a chance to join, he seeks an opportunity to eliminate Chen Sheng, divide the corpse of the five horses, and scatter the ashes.

Since it is waiting for an opportunity, and if the wall collapses, isn't this an opportunity?

He had 40,000 or 50,000 troops, all of whom were brave and good soldiers. And Chen Sheng only has 120,000 soldiers and horses, some of them are indeed real gold-like Xiliang soldiers, but the remaining group is Jiang Guang's remnants of the defeated generals, although after the battle of Cao Hong, this part of the remnants of the defeated generals has grown, but the combat effectiveness is still unknown.

Even among Chen Sheng's army, there are still some troops surrendered by Cao's army.

According to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, if they are put on the plain to fight, it can be said that the three Chen Sheng, Cao Ying does not pay much attention to it. If Chen Shengzhen loses the protection of the city wall, wouldn't this be like a lamb to be slaughtered?

Thinking of Chen Sheng like a lamb to be slaughtered, waiting for his own knife. Thinking about it again, how Dian Wei, Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, and Cao Hong died tragically under Chen Sheng's knife.

Can Cao Yingyan not be excited?

Therefore, Cao Ying at this moment was heartbeat. However, another concern made Cao Ying suspicious. For Chen Sheng, Cao Ying's evaluation is very high.

There is wisdom and strategy, there is bravery, it can be said that it is clear and courageous, and it can be matched by Zhang Xiu. In addition, Cao Ying has another impression of Chen Sheng, and it is also the most important impression.

That's Chen Sheng, very cunning. Like a fox, a cunning person cannot be trusted.

It is possible that it was really raining heavily, causing the walls to collapse. It may also be a trap set by Chen Sheng to let him quickly enter Wancheng, the purpose of which is to have a reason and pressure to ask for Liu Biao's reinforcements.

Therefore, Cao Ying at this time is both excited and suspicious. The look is unpredictable.

"Da-da-da-da."

At this moment, Cao Ying's savior came. Xun You, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin, Man Pet and other civil and military forces have arrived. Because Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are Wenchen, they are the closest to Cao Ying, so they arrived first.

As soon as the two of them entered the big tent, their bodies were wet with rain, and there was mud under their feet. I feel uncomfortable. I heard Cao Ying's surprised voice.

"Gongda, Zhongde came just in time, quickly help Gu Mou to decide a big deal."

At the critical moment, since you can't make a decision, then it is natural to ask others. And with these two world's top wise men around, it is even more important to ask for advice.
