Chapter 323 Sima urgently set up the city defense, and Zhuge attacked the city in a row

Sima Yi found that Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu were surveying the terrain nearby, and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing Sima Yi's anxious look, Cao Xiu said, "Zhongda, why are you so nervous? ”

"The soldiers came to report and found Zhuge Kongming and Guan Yunchang on the nearby mountain. So he took the child to watch, but saw the two of them pointing at our city defense on the hill outside the city. Wen Lie, you should know that that hill can overlook our entire city defense! Sima Yi said eagerly and worriedly.

Hearing this, Cao Xiu also gasped and said in surprise: "They actually found it!" But it's not good! ”

"Zhuge Kongming is treacherous and scheming. I am worried that he will take action, so I invite you to come and discuss. After Sima Yi finished speaking, his deep gaze swept over everyone.

Cao Xiu glanced at Sima Yi and asked, "Zhongda, the enemy army is less than 100,000 horses, and our army also has 50,000 or 60,000, why be afraid?" ”

"If they face a siege, they will not be afraid of him! I'm afraid that they will attack at night, and our army will rush to the battle and lose the opportunity! Sima Yi said.

Indeed, the high cities are strong, and the walls are thick!

Therefore, Cao Xiu thought that he could use this city to stop the advance of Guan Yu's army.

However, Sima Yi's worries are indeed what Cao Zhen and others are worried about.

Hearing this, Cao Zhen asked, "Does Zhongda have a good plan?" ”

"A good idea? For today's plan, the only way to strengthen the night city defense is to strengthen it! Sima Yi said with a worried face.

Yes!

Strengthen the night defense, so that Zhuge Liang has nothing to do!

And the supply inside the city is continuous, why be afraid of the 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the city?

"In that case, we are all willing to listen to the public." Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and others said in unison.

Seeing that everyone looked united, Sima Yi said loudly: "I am very grateful to have the approval of everyone!" Since I am a prime minister, my Sima Yi will definitely live and die with this city! ”

After saying that, he told everyone about the plan to defend the city.

What kind of work did he assign?

Tung oil, he asked Cao Xiu to prepare a hundred barrels of tung oil overnight and transport it to the city.

Rolling Wood Thunder Stone, these conventional defensive weapons, he handed them over to Cao Zhen.

The arrangement of Gaoling City, he personally came to the city, arranged for each department to take turns in turn, and within half an hour, there were three soldiers and horses stationed at the same time, and two soldiers and horses patrolled. One hour is the value, and it is rotated in turn.

He also made his eldest son, Sima Shi, the supervisor of the army, responsible for the inspection of the city's defenses.

After getting the news from the city, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said to Guan Yu: "Sima Zhongda has been in a mess!" Why didn't the general attack the city at night? ”

This Zhuge Liang, which one is this singing?

As soon as they strengthened their defenses, he was going to send troops to fight! Wouldn't it be in vain for the soldiers to be sent to their deaths?

Guan Yu didn't know what kind of medicine Zhuge Liang bought in the gourd, and asked with a worried face: "The enemy army has just been defended, why does the military division want to send generals to attack the city?" ”

"The general doesn't need to worry too much! I expected that Sima Zhongda was preparing the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone, and if the general attacked the city at this time, they would definitely drop the only Rolling Wood Thunder Stone! Our soldiers are swarming up, and they must be in a hurry! One of the few Rolling Wood Thunder Stones, I am afraid that the lethality at this night is ......" Zhuge Liang said, pulled a long tone, and looked at Guan Yu.

Guan Gong was originally smart, and he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so he naturally understood what Zhuge Liang said, and then nodded and said: "Thanks to the military advisor's reminder, otherwise the military plane will be delayed!" So-and-so will arrange sword and shield soldiers to attack the city! ”

Guan Yu immediately sent people to find Zhao Fu, Zang Hong, Chen Huan, Zhu Han and other four old generals of the state.

The four of them are all high-ranking generals, and they have been serving in the army since they assisted Lei Bo on his expedition.

The reason why Guan Yu came to them was because the soldiers in their subordinate generals were all Tuntian soldiers, not the standing elite soldiers brought by Guan Yu. These soldiers are the main force of the siege, that is, what we commonly call cannon fodder troops!

"You and others lead the troops to attack the city in turn, remember that once the soldiers throw the earth under the city, retreat quickly without delay!" Guan Yu instructed the four of them.

"No!" Zhao Fu, Zang Hong, Chen Huan, and Zhu Han responded in unison.

At night, it is brightly lit, will anyone see clearly?

This is Zhuge Liang's strategy.

In the darkness, the soldiers hid under the shield in one hand, shouting and cursing and rushed towards the city wall. Running under the walls, they threw the dirt bags wrapped in cloth under the walls and quickly evacuated!

In the rear, Zhao Fu and Zang Hong each rushed their horses, holding a three-foot flag, dispatching the soldiers back and forth.

The sound of the drums was like thunder, which had already alarmed Sima Yi.

Sima Yi, who had just returned to the mansion, was pulled out of the mansion by the rapid sound of drums before he had time to drink saliva.

He hurried to the city, only to see countless crowds of people outside the city bustling under the misty moonlight.

Sure enough, it came!

Looking at the tide of soldiers, Sima Yi thought to himself.

In the darkness of the night, the enemy soldiers were already in range. He immediately made a decision and gave the order: "Release the arrows!" ”

The locust-like feathered arrows pierced the night sky, flashing with a cold glow and pounced on Liu Bei's soldiers who were charging.

The rain of arrows seems to have only hindered the other party's progress, how lethal is it?

He didn't hear the screams of the man who had been hit by the arrow, so he suddenly became nervous.

"Quickly prepare the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone!" He shouted eagerly.

Cao Zhen had just sent someone to send a part of the rolling logs, which had already been distributed on the defense of the entire city.

A military commander stepped forward and asked, "Dudu, it seems that the enemy army is only attacking in this direction, can you bring the other rolling logs?" ”

Sima Yi hurriedly said, "Send someone to transport it immediately!" ”

Soon, Liu Bei's soldiers who were in the lead had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

"Drop the wood!" Sima Yi gave an order.

More than a dozen people roared down from the city with thick and thin rolling logs.

Liu Bei's soldiers below suddenly dropped some things, dodged far away, and turned back.

More than a dozen rolling logs have no success, and they don't even bother to do the rolling action!

What the?

What's going on?

What are they going to do?

Sima Yi looked at the city in disbelief and muttered to himself: "Strange thing! What kind of medicine is sold in Zhuge Liang's gourd? Tonight's attack on the city came suddenly, could it be a deception? ”

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, stopped the soldier from throwing the log, called his son Sima Shi, and ordered: "The rolling wood just fell, and the voice of the father was a little strange. Hurry up and send someone down to check it out! ”

"No!" Sima Shi immediately sent someone to make a hanging basket and go down.

The man slipped down the city wall from a place where no one was attacking the city, and quietly blended in with Liu Bei's soldiers who were besieging the city.

What are they taking?

Why do you leave it and run back?

He stealthily picked one up from the ground and slipped back in.

Seeing the dirt bag that the soldier had brought up, Sima Yi pinched the loess inside with his hand, sighed and said, "Hey! Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Kongming, really has a talent! If this person is not removed, it will be difficult to live a certain life! Shi'er, quickly spread the news, and all the rolling wood and tung oil were transported here. Send more people to prepare pine oil! Within an hour, it must be ready! ”

Sima Shi asked puzzledly, "Father, what is the use of this bag?" ”

"This is Zhuge Liang's plan to fill the ditch with soil! Before dawn, they will surely fill a passage under the city, so that their cavalry can kill all the way to the city! Sima Yi's face was full of worry, and he instructed Sima Shi to arrange it as soon as possible, "You should arrange it quickly, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"No!" Sima Shi hurriedly led his subordinates to tell separately.

In less than a stick of incense, the figure below looked much closer.

Sima Yi knew that it was definitely not a way to go on like this, so he immediately ordered: "Quickly carry that tung oil here." ”

"No!" The adjutant general agreed, and led the soldiers to carry the tung oil on the side.

"Down!" Sima Yi ordered decisively.

With a "bang", a large pot ......of tung oil poured down from the city.

Sima Yi took a torch and threw it down.

With the sound of "beetle", the tung oil Huo Ran burned, like a goddess scattering flowers, a big fireball was dotted with countless fire rains......

Those Liu Bei soldiers who didn't have time to run were stained with a lot, and they screamed "wow" in pain......

Seeing the fire rising at first glance, Zhao Fu and Zang Hong didn't know why, they glanced at each other, and were about to step forward to ask, but a voice came from beside them: "It's okay, it's just the tung oil thrown by Sima Zhongda!" Suspend the frequency of the soldiers' attacks, and let everyone be careful not to get burned by the fire! ”

It was Zhuge Liang's voice.

"Strategist!" The two turned around and saw Zhuge Liang sitting in a wheelchair car, and hurriedly saluted.

"It's been half an hour, and it should be three or five feet high. You can take a break and pay attention to everyone's casualties! Zhuge Liang told the two again.

"No!" The two agreed.

"In half an hour, you will retreat with your soldiers! Next, I'll hand it over to Chen Huan and Zhu Han! After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he turned around and went back accompanied by the second child of Qin Jian.

Besides, everyone in Gaoling City took advantage of the firelight to see it, and they were all shocked!

I saw that a mound of earth had been erected under the city, and the position against the city wall was more than four feet above the ground.

Not far away, there are enemy soldiers who are constantly throwing baggage here.

The flaming flames were like dancing clowns, as if mocking the city's generals.

And the soldiers who threw the burden ran one by one unscrupulously, pressing the packages against the burning flames.

The linen cloth stained with tung oil burned very happily, and all the soldiers were reflected in the castle.

Sima Yi shouted: "Ah! Archers release arrows! ”

Yes!

What an opportunity!

These Liu Bei soldiers were completely illuminated by the firelight, and the archers were no longer blind!

Following Sima Yi's order, the archers in the city drew their bows and arrows and shot at the soldiers under the city.

The soldiers in the front row who threw dirt bags were defenseless, and dozens of them fell to the ground with arrows.

The soldiers behind hurriedly raised their shields to protect them, and they were able to avoid this round of attacks.

They raised their shields in groups of ten, put them on top of their heads, formed a mobile protection, walked forward step by step, and then made a gap, and one person threw out the dirt bags one by one, and then walked back step by step, and rescued the comrades who were hit by arrows halfway.
