It's still summer, but the strong wind blowing at the mouth of the valley doesn't make people feel the slightest heat, but brings a trace of coolness, even the thick armor can't cover it, but this greatly reduces the heat and dryness of the soldiers, like a special blessing from God.

At the mouth of this valley is the famous big fortress in Shuofang County.

Located in the north of Aeshiro County in the southern part of Sokata County, the Great Fortress is an important pass in Sofang County and even in the northern part of the entire state, but in fact, the Great Fortress is a gate building built on a narrow valley on the road to Ayutthaya County, and it is only separated by a wall from the outside to the inside, although this wall is indeed very thick.

Of course, the city has always been guarded by special personnel, and it was naturally guarded by the Southern Huns who occupied it before, but at that time, because the entire Shuofang County was in the hands of the Southern Huns, and the Qiang people of Shangjun adjacent to the south did not violate the river water with their well water, and there were not many defense forces here, and Lu Bu began to use his knife on the Dacheng Fortress as soon as he took over the defense of Dacheng County, and the Hun guards here were very obedient and disarmed themselves without the slightest resistance because they had the order of Hu Chuquan- In fact, even if they didn't have a few people, they couldn't resist at all, and then they were all replaced by the soldiers of Bingzhou under Lu Bu.

There is always a disadvantage for the cavalry to defend the city, even if the big city fortress is very difficult, so the soldiers sent to defend the city are all composed of former Black Mountain thieves, and the main general is Cao Xing, who invited Ying.

In the last time, Lu Bu entered Hebei Cao Xing's task of defending the city very well, and he was also one of the few people who could make Lu Bu completely feel at ease, after all, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were not here. And Wang Cheng and Ji Zhao also have their own missions.

However, in view of the trauma that Cao Xing suffered when he was in Yanmen last time, Lu Bu was somewhat afraid, this time he also sent Dian Wei to his side to protect him, of course, Dian Wei also had to take on other heavy responsibilities when necessary, for example, if Cao Xing still can't retire from injury and needs someone to take over, then he is the best candidate.

This time, the handling of Dacheng County has made Lu Bu begin to believe that Dian Wei can be alone, of course, he also needs to be given more opportunities to exercise, and I believe that Dian Wei himself will also have his own desire to lead an army alone, which is probably the common wish of most martial arts men in the world in this era.

The valley in which the Great City Fortress is located is narrow, and the walls that block it are more than thick. It's still high. It is difficult to erect ordinary ladders, and this is also a place where it is difficult to break through the Great City Fortress.

However, no matter how strong the city defense is, it is impossible to be without loopholes, and no one is perfect without gold, and the big city fortress is just a defense facility built by the Han people according to the danger of heaven and location. There will also be shortcomings. One of the biggest drawbacks is that the slope of the cliff near the castle tower is very gentle. There was even a flat area on one of the gentle slopes.

It was naturally impossible for Cao Xing to turn a blind eye to this obvious defensive hole, and he sent people to build a simple defense tower here early on, which can be used as an observation and lookout in normal times. It can predict the surrounding military situation and danger in advance with a high degree of superiority, and once a battle breaks out, it can also be used as a commanding height, especially when the enemy is about to attack the tower, they will be able to surprise the enemy by surprise from the side of the arrow rain.

Lu Bu had already instructed him when he sent Cao Xing away that if he wanted to take Dacheng County, Dachengsai was almost the only way to go, and most of the borders between Dachengxian and the rest of northern Shuofang were mountainous, and there was only Dachengcheng Fortress as a smooth road and shortcut, so he must always be ready to be attacked by the enemy.

Cao Xing did not dare to take it lightly, and after doing a good job of regular defense, he began to use his brain to imagine where the enemy would attack from.

"Even if I don't know, there must be someone in his army who is a native of Shuofang County, so he should know about the big city fortress, and he should also know the conventional defense of the city fortress, and even what loopholes can be drill......ed" The one who spoke was Cao Xing's deputy general on this trip, a general named Dou Yun, it is said that his ancestors were relatives of the emperor, that is, the descendants of the Dou clan, who were quite prosperous during the period of Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing and even Emperor Wu, but he belonged to the side branch and moved to Bingzhou because of the avoidance of trouble. He was also discovered in that order, and there was a merger and a local talent in Jiuyuan County, at least the potential was very good, and he was humble and willing to learn, and he was also appreciated by Cao Xing, so he simply summoned him with him this time.

Cao Xuan nodded in recognition of what Dou Yun said, turned to Dian Wei again, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Junming thinks about this?" ”

Although he has known Dian Wei for a long time, the two have really not had much contact, and Cao Xing is still more curious about him, especially this time Lu Bu won Dacheng County, he can be said to be the first to take the lead.

However, in the past few days in Dachengsai, Dian Wei has always been very low-key, not showing the mountains and waters, and he can't see that he is the "culprit" who directed the great changes in Dacheng County, and Cao Xing is also doing everything possible to make him speak, the purpose is just to satisfy his curiosity.

To his disappointment, Dian Wei didn't seem to have the slightest desire to express himself, and was asked directly by Cao Xuan in front of the generals, and he was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "Wei is not very familiar with this place, so I'm afraid I can't say any good opinions." ”

Cao Xing sneered, didn't dwell on it more, but said: "If you want to talk about sex, the biggest leakage of the big city fortress may be the safest place that we have always thought is the safest. ”

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with bewildered faces.

Dian Wei's heart moved, but his face was silent.

Cao Xuan glanced at everyone, and continued: "Before the arrival of this general, Wen Hou had secretly instructed that you must be careful of the defense and security of all parts of the Great City Fortress, and make sure that there are no obvious loopholes, especially in those places that have already been noticed. Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, but changed the topic and said: "After coming to the big city fortress, a certain was a little unimpressed by what Wen Hou said at first, but when he turned around a few times, especially deliberately wandering around a few whistles, guess what you found?" ”

Everyone naturally didn't know, and continued to look at him with that puzzled look, Cao Xing coughed lightly, and then revealed the mystery and said: "I found that our defense seems to be strong and unbreakable, but there is one place that everyone has ignored, and a certain has also ignored it before, that is, on the cliffs on both sides of the city tower." ”

The more Cao Xing said, the more confused everyone became, naturally they couldn't all stay in Sene and not go anywhere, walking around was inevitable, why didn't there be what Cao Xing said, especially on the cliffs on both sides, it had long been classified as a key inspection scope, what else could I say?

But Cao Xing suddenly sneered and said: "These Huns are calculating and think they have succeeded, but since they have been discovered by someone, they are waiting to sit on the turtle in the urn." ”

At this point, everyone still doesn't know what Cao Xing meant, at this time, there was a sudden sound of reporting outside the door, and then after Cao Xing announced his advance, he saw a soldier hurriedly come in, and immediately said after saluting closely: "General Qiyu, the military marquis found that there was a change, and his subordinates came to ......report it."

Cao Xuan immediately stood up when he heard this, then smiled mysteriously at everyone, and said hesitantly: "Tonight, I will take you to see a good show!" (To be continued......)
