"It's really hard to deal with......"

Listening to the sound of fighting in his ears, Zhuge Liang frowned and looked at Cao Jun outside the city, shaking his feather fan every time.

"Hey, trickster, you're not our military division A, at this time of such a crisis, you are giving me a word!" It seems that Zhuge Liang is too calm, which caused Zhang Fei to be very dissatisfied and reprimanded.

The battle of the West Gate had just begun, and the Cao army had still not broken through the moat, so in addition to Huang Zhong urging the crossbowmen to meet the battle in the city, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still standing by Zhuge Liang's side.

"I never thought that Cao Jun would have such a siege weapon" Ignoring Zhang Fei's chatter in his ears, Zhuge Liang stared at the thunderbolt in the Cao army outside the city, shook the feather fan lightly, frowned and said secretly, "This thing is very powerful, I must find a way to solve this thing, or ask Cao Jun to abandon this thing...... Otherwise, Gangneung may not be able to protect it! ”

Compared with Zhang Feilai, Guan Yu finally gave Zhuge Liang enough respect on Liu Bei's face, only to see him step forward a few steps, and said sharply, "The last general asks for his life, leads an army to break through the city, and destroys Cao's catapults and wells for Jiangling!" ”

"Guan Zhangjun is a little restless" Zhuge Liang held the right hand of the feather fan on his back, pointed to Cao Jun outside the city with his left hand, and said concentratingly, "The general's intention is good, but Jiang Zhe is obviously guarding against this hand, the general look!" , Looking in the direction pointed by Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu's eyes suddenly became solemn.

I saw the flank of the Cao army outside the city, a cavalry tongue was ready to go, looking at its number, there were no less than 10,000, and the general headed by Guan Yu frowned. "Screwdriver"

"Hmm" Zhuge Liang nodded, and said solemnly, "Even if the general breaks through, I'm afraid that if he can't get close to those catapults, he will be surrounded by the cavalry under Qiyun's command.

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhang Fei beside him said impatiently, "Then according to what you mean, what should I do now?" ”

"In the next meaning" I saw Zhuge Liang leaned over and looked at the Cao army who was trying to cross the moat, and said in a condensed voice, "Let the Cao army cross the moat and go to the city of Jiangling, then General Guan will break out of the city and fight with the Cao army on this road, Jiang Zhe will not dare to use the catapult again, if he is 'recognized, calculated, and ordered the vanguard Cao army to retreat, Guan and Zhang The two generals will take advantage of the situation to kill and destroy the Cao army's catapult and the well, but this trip is ......extremely dangerous" "I'm afraid!" Zhang Fei took the eight snake spears beside him, looked at Zhuge Liang and said viciously, "And listen to you again!" "What's in the plan?" Guan Yu stroked his long beard, thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "That's doable!" "Then it's decided" Looking at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Second brother, I will wait for my brothers to join forces and make Cao Jun look good!" "Yes!" Guan Yu's eyes lit up, he turned to look out of the city, and said secretly in his heart, I am the enemy in everything, but I want to forgive Guan Yu for being presumptuous!

Hui sighed in his heart, Guan Yu suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Zhuge Liang, "Jiang Situ is cautious, if we deliberately show weakness, he will inevitably see through it, so how can we let Cao Jun cross the moat?" ”

"It's easy!" Zhuge Liang chuckled, pointed at the slowly approaching well outside the city with a feather fan in his right hand, smiled faintly, and said in a deep voice, "Pass my order, order General Huang to prepare rockets, and destroy Cao Jun's well first, and Cao Jun under the city...... Ignore it for now! The herald who was waiting not far away was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists and responded, "No! With that, he hurried to Huang Zhong to give the order. I see......" Guan Yu nodded in understanding.

Indeed, compared to the thunderbolt with great power and poor accuracy, although Jing Yan was not as shocking to the Jiangling army as the former, but in terms of its lethality, it was far above the former, especially against the crossbowmen in the city, it was a devastating blow. ......As the sound of the wooden wheel gradually stopped, dozens of wells of Cao Jun were already close to the moat, and they were already within a hundred steps of the city. {Note: There is an estimated open space of three or four zhang within the Gangneung moat and the city wall.} "Archery! With the order of one of the generals of the Cao army, all of a sudden, the crossbowmen of the Cao army on dozens of wells were facing the city, and there was a rain of arrows.

For a time, the mourning on the city of Jiangling was everywhere, and the governor Huang Zhong held a knife in his right hand, and shot the arrows that shot at him away, and when he turned around, he saw that the soldiers beside him had already fallen a lot, and his heart was angry, and he took a man-high battle 5 from behind him, and drew the arrow to ...... "That...... What is that? "A Cao soldier archer on a frame outside the city looked at the enemy general on the city wall with a suspicious look on his face, and his expression became more and more frightened." Rumble! "A well slammed into a slanted one, and the Cao soldiers on it fell down one after another with screams, and were trampled to death by the rebels." Hold on! Hold on to the well! The general of the Cao army shouted as hard as he could, and then glanced at the 'arrows' nailed to the well in amazement, and muttered, "This...... Is this an arrow? "Woo woo" "Huh" took a deep breath, and the general of the Cao army pointed to the head of the city and shouted, "Everyone listen to the order and suppress the crossbow arrows in the city!" "Drink!"

As the Cao army here responded, as if a flood poured in, arrows were shot intensively into the city, not stopping, making the Jiangling soldiers in the city panic. "Fight back! Counterattack! Huang Zhong in the city abandoned his bow, dodged the dense bow and arrows, and shouted with all his might, "The shield soldiers stepped forward to cover, and the crossbowmen counterattacked!" Hold a rocket and destroy Cao Junjing! "Drink!" With the issuance of General Huang Zhong's order, the Chen soldiers of Jiangshang in the city stopped the riot, and there were rules and regulations to counterattack. After all, the Jiangling soldiers had the city wall as a cover, but the Cao army outside the city did not......

In just one round of rapid shooting, thousands of rockets ignited ten wells, and I saw black smoke rising, so that Cao Bing, who was above the well, couldn't open his eyes. "Extinguish the fire! Fire suppression! "The countless Cao troops next to the well were in a hurry, and finally extinguished the fire on the well.

"Tsk, so, you can't destroy Cao Junjing as soon as possible, you really still have to go out of the city......" Seeing that a round of rockets had almost no results, Huang Zhong, who was ashamed of being heavy, couldn't help but complain, sighed slightly, Huang Zhong gathered his mind, pointed to the city and shouted, "Keep shooting!" Don't stop! "Drink!" The Jiangling soldiers in the city shouted in unison, and the rockets were fired indiscriminately. A ...... It's good to have one! Looking at the Cao soldiers under the city, they had half crossed the moat, but the enemy army had not been destroyed by one of them, and seeing that the morale of the city generals was getting weaker and weaker, Huang Zhong was very impatient. Suddenly

"It's burning! It's burning! The Jiangling soldiers in the city cheered, Huang Zhong looked at it, but saw a raging fire in one of the wells of the Cao army, and the fire immediately swallowed the Cao army above the well, but when he heard a wail, the Cao soldiers on it fell to the ground one after another.

"Firefighting! Fire! "With the shouting of the lieutenant generals of the Cao army, all the Cao soldiers took off their armor and tried their best to fight the raging fire above the well." Now, how can I make you jealous?! I saw Huang Zhong's tiger eyes in the city, and he went to the giant bow and arrow, and aimed at "Boom!" "The well fell into a pupa with a bang, and the broken wood burning with flames burst out in all directions and fell into the Cao army formation below, causing the Cao soldiers below to panic." Hum! Huang Zhong snorted coldly in the city, but heard a soldier beside him exclaim, "General, #39; 1！ ”

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, a warning flashed in his heart, and he suddenly raised his head, only to see a boulder the size of a millstone falling from the sky...... "Honor Army!" "Boom!" The boulder hit the city wall straight at the wall, and there was a single thud, and the rubble was scattered everywhere.

Huang Zhong, who was pushed away at the last moment, sat aside, stretched out his hand to caress his face, but felt a little moist, slightly viscous, and then looked at the boulder, but saw that under the boulder, a Jiangling soldier was pressed in it, blood stained a large piece of the ground, the right hand exposed outside, still pumping more than "......" and got up silently, Huang Zhong stared at the boulder for a long time, braved the rain of arrows to the city wall, and shouted angrily, "All the soldiers use their lives to protect Jiangling, and fight to the death without retreating!" Shoot the arrows! "Drink! Protect Gangneung, fight to the death and never retreat! ”

"This soldier of Gangneung should not be underestimated!"

Gazing intently at the battle situation, Cao Cao said with a little solemnity, after that, he turned to look at the dozens of thunderbolts behind him, and said with a wry smile, "If you can be more accurate, capturing Jiangling is just a snap of your fingers" Yes" Jiang Zhe nodded, looked at the Jiangling city wall, and sighed slightly and said, "Who called the technical strength not up to standard......"

"Oh?" Cao Cao didn't seem to understand, chuckled, looked in the direction of Jiangling and said indifferently, "Jiangling seems to be too close to our army's wells, and ignore the soldiers who forcibly crossed the moat...... Put the cart before the horse, even if Jing Yan doubles again, how to capture Gangneung? The capture of Gangneung was made by relying on our soldiers, not equipment! Gangneung guards, but mediocre ears! "Dao, Zhuge Liang, how can he be a mediocre talent?

"Not necessarily?" Cao Cao laughed, pointed in the direction of Jiangling and sneered, "When our army crosses the river and puts down the drawbridge, what can Liu Bei and the others do?" Pass my order and order Li Dian to come forward to supervise the battle, and Le Jin will drive a thunderbolt car to smash the city gate for me! "Yes, my lord!" Two guards immediately left beside him. What exactly are you going to do? Zhuge Liang?

Seeing that Jiangling closed the city gate tightly, ignoring the Cao army who forcibly crossed the moat under the city, but hurriedly used rockets to destroy the well, Jiang Zhe felt slightly that something was wrong in his heart. Suddenly, Cao Cao's eyes were happy, and he said with relief, "Okay!" Drop the drawbridge...... Hey? ”

"How?" Jiang Zhe saw that Cao Cao's expression beside him was different, and when he looked at it, he saw that the gate of Jiangling City was slowly opened, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed into the outside of the city, and fought with the Cao army who forcibly landed under Jiangling City. "Hold the drawbridge!" Cao Cao drank heavily. Now the company is out of the city to fight? Jiang Zhe muttered, but heard Cao Cao beside him shout heavily, "Pass my order, order Li Dian to guard the suspension bridge, and all the soldiers of the army will cross the river on the bridge and storm Jiangling!" "Yes!" He didn't go to war earlier, but now he sends troops to fight...... What was Zhuge Liang's idea?

Jiang Zhe became more and more puzzled in his heart, and suddenly his heart moved, remembering something, looking back left and right, and asked in surprise, "Why don't you drop bombs?" ”

I saw that the guards beside Jiang Zhe went to the back to ask Le Jin, and just one step later, he suddenly saw a person hurrying over, and said with his fists clenched. "Qi Qi Situ, at the moment, our army and Jiangling soldiers and horses are fighting under the city, General Le Jin is afraid that he will accidentally injure the soldiers of our army, and the special general will ask Situ what he means!" "......" Jiang Zhe was stunned, looked back at the direction of Jiangling, and muttered, "It's been put on the table!" "Because of the situation, Zhuge Kongming is really not simple! Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly.

"Alas!" Cao Cao sighed lightly, frowned at the gate of Jiangling, and said hatefully, "I saw that the Jiangling army did not go out of the city, and I still wanted to attack the city, but I didn't expect that when it was critical, he would go out of the city...... There is not enough open space under the city, and the Rong army can't have enough soldiers and horses to attack...... Besides, the suspension bridge is too small...... It's better to tell Li Dian to retreat temporarily, first use a thunderbolt to collapse the city gate, and then I will retake the city. Jiang Zheshen was silent, 0 Zhuge Liang's move must have a deep meaning, think about it...... Think about it......

That's right!

"Then......" Seeing that Jiang Zhe was not {6), Cao Cao was about to raise his hand to give an order, but saw Jiang Zhe hurriedly said, "The Lord must not order the withdrawal of the army!" Now our army and the Jiangling army are fighting under the city, if General Li Dian is ordered to withdraw the army, the officers and men under his command do not know what to do, and it is also said that our army is defeated and will fall for thousands of miles; At this time, Gangneung only needs a soldier and horse to pursue behind, and our army will inevitably be in chaos, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Putting down his raised right hand and looking solemnly at the battle situation under the city, Cao Cao frowned and said, "But if you don't withdraw the army, it will be really unfavorable to Li Dian...... Do you want the soldiers to cross the moat again? ”

"Nope! There's a better way! "Look at the front line. : The flame of the well, Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly, raised his hand and ordered, "Pass my order, let the Yue line, the burning well be pushed into the river, use the well as a bridge, forcibly cross the moat, clear the customs, :!" In addition, the cloud echelon stepped forward and stormed Gangneung! "No!" The guards beside him hurriedly went down to give orders.

"Pushing the well into the river?" Cao Cao was stunned in his heart, frowned and shook his head, and said, "In this way, our army will not be able to suppress the enemy army in the city...... Still, it's a clever idea...... I was overlooked, I was too anxious, and I was taken advantage of by the enemy! "Is it the fault of Meng De alone?" Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "Zhe is also guilty!" ”

"Haha!" Cao Cao Langlang smiled, patted the armrest of the chariot, and said loudly, "In this way, we can only rely on the courage of our soldiers, pass on my order, and those who are the first to climb the Jiangling city wall will be rewarded with 100 gold and promoted to the third level!" Ding, "Drink!" The morale of Cao's army under his command has soared.

"Knock down the fire and cross the river?" Hearing Jiang Zhe's order, Li Dian hesitated and glanced at the city, and said with a wry smile, "In this way, I'm afraid it will be a hard battle!" After saying that, his face was straight, and he shouted sharply, "Pass my order, push the well into the river, and in addition, call the archers to gather on the opposite bank, throw and suppress the head of the city, and the shield soldiers cover it, and cover the bows and crossbows on the city...... You go back and tell the lord and Situ that if you want to attack, the cloud ladder is not enough......" "General Qiyu" Before Li Dian finished speaking, Jiang Zhe's guards clasped their fists and said respectfully, "Situ has sent General Lejin to drive the cloud echelon up."

Before, help the general "Oh! Li Dian showed a little joy on his face, and said with a sneer, "It's worthy of Situ......" After that, he glanced at the soldiers beside him, and shouted angrily, "What are you still doing in a daze, go quickly!" "No!

In just a moment, Li Dian's general had already passed to the well team next to the moat, but when he heard a hiss, dozens of fiery wells were pushed into the river, and then bound by Cao Bing's ropes, like a pontoon bridge.

The Jiangling moat was originally only four or five zhang, which was not a few points more than the year, but listening to the shouts of the generals of the Cao army, countless Cao soldiers suddenly stepped on the well to cross the river, which made Guan Yu who was fighting under the city stunned.

Oops! Guan Yu secretly said in his heart, and slapped his horse forward, but wherever he passed, Cao Jun retreated again and again. "Hold this place and destroy Cao Jun's ladder!" Seeing that the situation seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with what his own military advisor said, Guan Yu immediately changed the plan in his heart and changed the glue battle to fight hard to resist the enemy!

The only remaining dozen or so intact wells are obviously unable to suppress the bows and crossbows on Gangneung City. Seeing this, Li Dian shouted angrily, "The shield soldiers cover, the crossbowmen shoot back, and support until General Lejin arrives!" "Drink!" However, the following royal lord seems to be a little difficult...... "Mancheng! With a quick shout, Le Jin finally arrived with the cloud echelon. Good! Li Dian's face was overjoyed, and he shouted again, "All the soldiers listened to the order, set up a ladder, and attacked the city!" "Drink!" "How can I make you wait for your wish!" After a loud shout, Guan Yu came over. "Hugh will take care of him! Besiege! Le Jin exhaled urgently, glanced at Li Dian, and the two worked together to meet Guan Gong.

Looking at the increasing chaos under the city, Zhuge Liang looked melancholy, but when he saw countless Cao soldiers stepping on the well, he stayed at the end of the well, and with a single leap, he was able to barely cross the moat, and his face smiled bitterly. "This Jiang Zhe ......," Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, and Zhang Fei beside him shouted angrily, "Didn't you say that Cao Bing would withdraw his troops?" "Heh" Zhuge Liang laughed at himself, sighed slightly and said, "It seems that I underestimated Jiang:"

"You!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened, he was furious, and he was about to scold, but he felt that a person put on his shoulder, and said softly, "Yide can't be rude, the military advisor can design a rat thrower for Cao Jun, and dare not use a catapult to attack the city, which is already a great achievement, don't be too demanding!" Zhang Feiwang, seeing that it was Liu Bei, muttered, muttered, and was silent. Why is the lord-duke here? Zhuge Liang stepped forward and asked.

I saw Liu Bei take a few steps forward, leaning on the city wall and looking at the battle situation below, frowning, and said bitterly, "Cao's army stormed Jiangling, how can I sit in the city peacefully and watch the success or failure?" Strategist, can you find me? "It's enough for the lord to come here in person!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook the feather fan lightly, and said with a positive color, "Cao Jun, it seems that he wants to attack!" "Hmm" Looking at the situation outside the city, Liu Bei nodded and said solemnly, "It seems that Jiangling can't be preserved."

"Yes" Zhuge Liang sighed and said with a wry smile, "Even if Cao Jun is defeated today, Cao Cao still has 200,000 soldiers and horses and 100,000 sailors, plus that strange siege weapon, let's call it a catapult, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to defend Jiangling!" ”

"I went to the other three gates in the city just now, outside the north gate and the south gate, there are Cao army besieging the city, but looking at the situation, it is just a feint, and the east gate, but there is no trace of Cao soldiers, but I am afraid that it is a strategy to encircle the three missing one, outside the east gate, there must be an ambush!"

"What the lord said is very true" Zhuge Liang nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "Cao's army is powerful, if you want to compete with it, the only way to unite with Jiangdong is to avoid that the lord will be despised by Jiangdong at that time, and today we must not wait for too many casualties, otherwise, it will be difficult to deal ......with ourselves in the future."

"Humph! Don't suffer too many casualties, to put it lightly! Zhang Fei beside him sneered and said mockingly, "Now that the Cao army is surrounded on three sides, outside the east gate, there are also ambushes, how to break through?" "In that case," Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said mysteriously, "Since this is the case, it is better to discuss it with Cao Cao......"

"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and said puzzledly, "How to discuss?" How could Cao Cao tell me to get away? ”

"Don't worry, wait for Liang to say in detail, although Cao Cao has 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and now gathers 400,000 troops, but the army in his army is not happy, so Cao Cao wants to fight Jiangling, in order to promote its prestige, deter Xiaoxiao, otherwise, the Cao army here is the elite under Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is not far from this elite in the siege war, this person's mind is still in Jiangdong! The lord is second at the moment, Cao Cao's great enemy is Jiangdong...... "This ......" Liu Bei hesitated, and said suspiciously, "How do you want to persuade Cao Cao?" "Huh!" With a chuckle, Zhuge Liang said confidently, "Let Cao Cao withdraw his troops for twenty miles."

"Haha, ridiculous!" Before Zhuge Liang's words fell, Zhang Fei laughed and said mockingly, "Do you think Cao Cao will agree?" ”

"How not?" Zhuge Liang sneered, and said indifferently, "Jiangling still has sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao only has one hundred thousand, if he loses too much in Jiangling, it will inevitably cause the conspiracy of people with intentions in Jingzhou. "......" Zhang Fei Zhang Di was speechless D, "The words of the military advisor are also feasible, but even if Cao Cao agrees, Jiang Situ is afraid that he will ......

"The lord is worried a lot" Zhuge Liang shook his head, and Zhengse said, "Guanjiang Zhe's use of troops" is mostly for rapid attacks, surprise attacks, and strong attacks, he has never taken it, and now Cao's army is attacking Jiangling, Liang thinks that if he can withdraw his troops safely, Jiang Zhe has already ordered Mingjin, but he is just entangled by General Guan......" "En" Liu Bei nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "When the military adviser meant, how to inform Cao Cao of the boycott of the army?" Right now, Cao's army is fighting a fierce battle with our army...... "Not now!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said in a tight voice, "First of all, we must repel Cao Jun's battle to prevent Cao Cao from being lucky, otherwise, he will definitely not allow it!" "What the military advisor said is extremely true!" Liu Bei clenched his fists and said solemnly, "In this case, I can't lag behind, and I'm willing to fight with Cao Jun!" "If the eldest brother fights, how can I fall behind!" Zhang Fei laughed and begged. Looking at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, who were smiling, Zhuge Liang turned his head to look out of the city, and his heart was slightly "mouthful."

For the sake of the future, I have to give up Gangneung today......
