When the time came, the night was like ink, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Above the faint starry sky of Chang'an City, small fires suddenly appeared, these small fires seemed to be shining stars, and they were getting closer and closer, getting brighter and brighter, like meteors about to fall into the city.

"What's that?"

"Firelight?"

"How can there be fire in the sky, is it a ghost fire?"

"What a hell of a fire, that's the Wu Army flying machine!"

"Wu Jun flying machine?"

"Go and beat the drum of the Wu army, the Wu army is going to attack us at night!"

On several towering lookouts set up by the Wei army, some soldiers soon discovered the fire in the sky, and one by one the soldiers looked at each other and immediately warned and beat the drums.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Night Attack!"

"Wu Army's Night Attack!"

The sound of drums and shouts quickly filled the barracks of the Wei army, and the soldiers of the Wei army, who were already all soldiers, immediately woke up, and the soldiers who did not leave their weapons and armor quickly entered the cities and began to guard against their Ali.

"It seems that General Zhang He's prediction is not bad, they really came, or they came from the sky, they wanted to attack us at night, take us by surprise, and dream!"

Cao Xiu stood on the high part of the city wall with his armor and sword, looking at the fire points in the sky that were about to fall, and a cold smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

"General, do you want to release arrows?"

"Wait!"

Cao Xiu raised his head, staring at the little by little firelight above: "It's not yet within the range of the bow and arrow, wait until they get closer, and then shoot me fiercely, don't let go of one!" ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant colonel began to be nervously guarded.

"General, the Wu Army's flying machine has entered the range of the bow and arrow!"

"It's good to come!"

Cao Xiu's eyes suddenly erupted with a thick killing intent, and he shouted: "Sons, prepare to release arrows, three, two, one, release!" ”

"Woohoo!"

"Woohoo!!"

The Wei army's strong crossbow sent out sharp arrows one after another, breaking through the air, and the firelight above the night sky seemed to be a bright target, and the night illuminated by these gas balls was like a target.

Rumble!

The first aircraft fell, and all the dozens of soldiers on it fell to their deaths.

Boom Boom Boom ......

In the face of the dense bow and arrow sniping of the Wei army, one by one the flying machines fell like meteors, some fell into the city wall, some fell outside the city wall, one by one either dead or wounded, fell into the city wall, even if they did not fall to death, they were also prepared by the Wei army for a long time to make up for a few knives.

In less than a quarter of an hour, this regiment suffered heavy casualties.

"Damn it!"

Sha Ye looked at the arrows coming from the sky below, his eyes became a little gloomy, and he immediately made a decision and shouted: "Pass on my military order, all aircraft immediately give up landing, turn around, and return to the barracks!" ”

"No!"

One by one, the soldiers of the Wu army who controlled the gas balloon immediately turned around.

This battle was fought too badly, the Wei army below was prepared, they could not land at all, one photo, had lost thirteen gas balloons, more than 800 soldiers died, if it went on like this, their regiment would be wiped out.

"Commander, the Fifth Army has failed!"

"Withdraw your troops!"

Shamoke, who was outside the gate of Zhangcheng, looked at the Fifth Army that had failed to land, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted a little unwillingly.

A night attack, after a brief confrontation between the two armies, ended in the defeat of the Wu army.

"Retreat!"

"The Wu army has retreated!"

The soldiers of the Wei army at the head of the city shouted excitedly, and the low morale suddenly collided, they had no confidence before, but now they were somewhat looking forward to winning this battle.

"The ability to fly away from the sky is not omnipotent!"

Cao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a sneer in his eyes.

The starry sky of the night gradually passed, the east turned white, a round of sun rose, and under the reflection of the golden rays of the morning sun, Zhang He's slender and upright body stood at the head of the city, with a trace of coldness in his eyes.

He looked at the Wu army company camp outside the city, and said faintly: "Before, I still thought that I was thinking too much, they can surround us, and they will not use troops to attack without authorization, and increase their own damage, but now it seems that besieging but not attacking is actually just their trick, they are even more anxious than us!" ”

"Actually, it makes sense for them to rush through Chang'an City!"

Xun You wore a Confucian robe, stood beside him with his hands behind his back, and smiled slightly wryly: "As long as they can take Chang'an, the soldiers and horses under their command will be indomitable in Guanzhong, and they don't even need to care about the front and back, they can directly come to Luoyang City, in today's situation, the defeat of my Great Wei is imminent, and for the general of the Wu army, it is naturally a unique battle feat to be the first to attack the capital of my Great Wei, can they not be in a hurry?" ”

"A few years ago, we could still compete with them for a victory or defeat, but now, we have become a meal on their plate, fighting for life and death, and in the end it is just a military feat of their generals of the Wu Army, which is really sad!"

Cao Xiu's face was pale, his fists were clenched tightly, and he sighed leisurely: "Since the defeat of Yangping Pass, my Wei army has been defeated and retreated, why does God treat me like this!" ”

"Destiny is so!"

Zhang He's expression was very calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and said lightly: "Now we can only wait for Your Majesty's holy decree, before Your Majesty's decree arrives, Cao Xiu, you must strengthen your vigilance, do not relax, Wu Jun will not give up if he can't make a plan, they must still have tricks!" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Xiu took a deep breath, nodded his head, and looked at Wu Jun's gaze outside the city with an unusually cold gaze: "I want to see what tricks they can play now, if they want to win Chang'an, I will at least break their big teeth!" ”

————————————————————

Outside the city.

Under the flying of the highest battle flag, the Chinese army has a big tent.

Syllable!

Ju Yi was furious, directly crushed the teacup in his hand, and shouted: "Damn Wei people, I didn't expect them to use long-range arrows to cause such a big loss to our Fifth Army, so ruthless, with awe-inspiring killing intent, it seems that they are going to fight us to the death!" ”

"What about the casualties?"

Zhuge Liang's face was calm and asked indifferently.

"A regiment of the Fifth Army suffered nearly one-third casualties, thirteen flying machines were destroyed, and more than 400 people were killed on the spot, while the rest were either captured or fell outside the city and became crippled, with more than 800 casualties!"

Ju Yi said: "The Fifth Army is space, an army established by His Majesty personally, a technical arm, and it is the first time that there have been such heavy casualties!" ”

"Commander Zhuge Liang, Commander Ju Yi, give me another chance, I will use all the forces of the Fifth Army to make a successful landing!" Shano stood up suddenly, his pupils as if a flame burst out.

"Now that you have been defeated, you must not fight again!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"Commander Zhuge ?" Shaye was not reconciled.

"We took it for granted!"

Zhuge Liang reviewed: "Since the Air Force became an army, there have been fewer victories and more defeats, and there are few defeats, even if it was a battle in Ruyin back then, it was just impossible to attack, and it did not suffer losses, so we always have the ability to fly to the sky and no one can stop it, but the same method is used too much, and the enemy will always find a way to crack it!" ”

"That's right!"

Ju Yi's heart sank, and he became vigilant: "It seems that you can't get carried away too much!" ”

"Sha Ye, you go and appease the military heart first!" Zhuge Liang said.

"Yes!"

Sha Ye reluctantly left the Chinese army to fight.

"Commander Ju Yi, I plan to postpone the mobilization of troops in Chang'an City, and from today onwards, continue to maintain the strategy of besieging but not attacking!" Zhuge Liang said: "I have another way to break the city!" ”

"What's the solution?"

When Ju Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and didn't answer, just smiled: "Fighting from the outside, no matter what the method, you will pay a heavy price, and this fortified city can only be broken from the inside!" ”

"Inside?"

Ju Yi was puzzled, but he didn't get to the bottom of it, he was just a little worried: "But is it too late?" ”

"It shouldn't be our turn to be the first to come to Yang City!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, he took out a secret letter from his sleeve, and said, "This is a secret letter written by Your Majesty last night!" ”

"Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition?"

Ju Yi looked at it and was taken aback.

"Hmm!"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Maybe it's because I suddenly sent troops to capture Hongnong, which affected all of Your Majesty's deployments to Cao Wei, and Your Majesty now has no choice but to give up the northern tour mission, concentrate all your forces, and destroy Wei by chance!" ”

The capture of Hongnong County is not wrong in terms of the strategy of capturing Guanzhong, but now from the perspective of this overall situation, it is somewhat reckless.

And at first glance, this thing looks like a forced palace.

He didn't want to give Sun Quan, nor did he want to leave such an impression in the hearts of the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, after all, this would affect his future prospects, and sometimes the future is an impression.

Zhuge Liang had to admit that he was still a little anxious to take this step.

"So Your Majesty is ready to entangle the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Front and the Northern Front, go all out to encircle Cao Wei, and settle the country in a battle?" Ju Yi's eyes became hot, and he shouted: "Then we have to fight even more and close the city as soon as possible!" ”

"Do you still want to compete with Your Majesty?"

Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.

"Commander Zhuge , what do you mean?"

"Since Your Majesty is personally on the expedition, this first soldier is coming to the city, it must be Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Those who have high merit and cover the master will not die well!" ”

"Huh?"

Ju Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "Yes, a certain family is a little confused, any of us can grab this merit of destroying Wei, if we fight with Your Majesty, it will be too reckless!" ”

Since ancient times, Ming Jun has been accompanied by merit, and since Sun Quan has personally conquered, the merit of destroying Wei must be his.

It's not that Sun Quan is stingy, this is righteousness.

The righteousness of the imperial court.

A monarch of the court must be unique, and in order to maintain the majesty that he can suppress the people of the world, no one can surpass his merits.

"Forget about Luoyang, let's find a way now, we didn't use the minimum cost to take Chang'an, and kill them step by step!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Xu Sheng and Xu Shu of Wuzhangyuan will soon lead their troops to converge, Chen Zhi's injuries have also recovered well, it is estimated that they will meet us from Xiliang soon, we have enough soldiers and horses and time to spend on them!" ”

"Then have you thought of a way to break the city?" Ju Yi sighed and asked.

"There is a way, but there is a little loss!"

Zhuge Liang squinted slightly, and a touch of apology crossed his eyes, which was his apology to his younger brother Zhuge Jun: "But now it's about the safety of our soldiers, and the damage is a little bit of damage, and we have to use it!" (To be continued.) )
