Chapter 334: Wancheng Attack and Defense

The heavy rain that had been falling for a month finally stopped, and the sun, hidden behind the dark clouds, finally broke through the envelope and revealed its light. Looking at the long-lost sunshine, Zhao Fei also showed a long-lost smile.

Sunshine seems to have really brought good luck to Zhao Fei, because in the past few days, Jia Xu's physical condition has finally improved a lot. According to the military doctor, although Jia Xu is not awake yet, his physical condition and there is no danger. However, when Jia Xu will wake up, the military doctor does not dare to guarantee.

In addition to Jia Xu's physical condition, Xiahoudun finally led the Cao army to join Zhao Fei. After converging the Cao army, he ordered all the soldiers to make corrections, after all, although the rain had stopped, the flood had not yet receded. Moreover, the heavy rain for nearly a month has made the weather extremely cold, which has made many of Cao's soldiers infected with wind chill.

Since he was sick, how could he fight, so Zhao Fei ordered people to take care of their bodies first, and after the flood receded, Zhao Fei led the Cao army of hundreds of thousands of troops to slowly go towards Wancheng.

In Wancheng, Zhang Xiu looked at a few of Jia Xu's guards with a straight face. At this time, he had already learned that Jia Xu had been captured by Cao Jun, and his life and death were uncertain, which immediately made Zhang Xiu sad. Jia Xu is the most trusted strategist under his command, and he is also the first strategist under his command, so losing Jia Xu is definitely taking half his life, after all, his current situation depends on Jia Xu.

"The military advisor let Er and others tell me that you want me to surrender to Cao's army?" Zhang Xiu asked with a calm face and a slightly low voice. You must know that Zhang Xiu's calm expression is very terrifying, after all, he has also been in a high position for a long time, and he naturally has a temperament that ordinary people do not have.

Several soldiers trembled a little and said: "That's what the military advisor said, the military advisor said, the Cao army is powerful, and the enemy general Zhao Jimin is superior, so the only way out is to surrender the Cao army." ”

After listening to the soldier, Zhang Xiu was silent. Then Zhang Xiu nodded, and let a few soldiers go down to rest, while he began to meditate in the room. Without Jia Xu to give advice next to him, Zhang Xiu looked a little confused. After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu finally made up her mind. If Jia Xu is safe and sound, then he will surrender the city, but if Jia Xu is killed, then he will lead the Wancheng army and people to fight to the death.

At the beginning of the war, Zhang Xiu ordered someone to notify Liu Biao, but although Liu Biao sent troops, it was only a symbolic garrison of Xinye, and then there was no movement. Zhang Xiu also knew that Liu Biao was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and if he failed, he would withdraw his troops, but if Cao's army was defeated, then Liu Biao would definitely not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs. You must know that this Cao army is the main force of the Cao army, and if it can be disabled, the Cao army will not be able to go south.

In this regard, although Zhang Xiu was very angry, he was helpless. After all, he has no way to ask Liu Biao to do anything, although the two forces are allied, but the interests are at the forefront, and the so-called alliance is just a joke.

In this regard, Zhang Xiu urged Liu Biao many times, but Liu Biao's army stationed in Xinye was unmoved, and finally Zhang Xiu also lost confidence in Liu Biao.

In the past few days, the news has been coming, as the Cao army is approaching, Zhang Xiu also began to mobilize the soldiers of the city, before getting the exact news of Jia Xu, he will definitely defend Wancheng, even if he dies, he will rely on Wancheng to consume a large number of soldiers of the Cao army.

On this day, Cao's army finally approached the city. After Zhang Xiu received the news, he took the guards to climb the city wall of Wancheng. Through the city wall, Zhang Xiu looked around, and saw the heads of people covering the sky and the sun in the distance, and the dense Cao army continued to drive towards Wancheng.

In this regard, Zhang Xiu on the city wall was very shocked. Although he himself is also a lord, he has never seen such a spectacular picture. You know, that's an army of more than 100,000 people, which is enough to cover the sky.

After leading his troops to Wancheng, according to the usual practice, Zhao Fei did not rush to attack the city, but ordered the army to surround Wancheng. However, although Zhao Fei has an army of more than 100,000, he is not as persecuted as Wancheng. After all, Zhao Fei didn't want to attack, so he didn't feel too panicked like Zhang Xiu in the city.

Zhao Fei asked Xiahou Yuan to guard one city gate by himself, and he guarded one city gate. Surrounded by three sides and one side, leaving only one side, the reason why Zhao Fei did this was because he didn't want Zhang Xiugou in the city to jump off the wall in a hurry.

But after Zhang Xiu understood Zhao Fei's intentions, he ordered someone to block the city gate that Zhao Fei did not defend with sand and stones, so as to prove that he wanted to defend Wancheng. Of course, Zhao Fei didn't know this news.

Under Wancheng, Zhao Fei was stationed for several days, and he never attacked Wancheng. But I can hold on for a few days, but how can I stand it after a long time. After all, he has an army of more than 100,000 people, and just consuming grain and grass is a headache for Zhao Fei every day. Helpless, after a few days of silence, Zhao Fei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then he ordered all the soldiers and horses to come to the city.

Zhang Xiu received the news as soon as possible, and immediately put on his armor and walked to the city. Zhang Xiu has also been very anxious these days, to know how he can sleep well with hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding him. So when Zhang Xiu got Zhao Fei to lead his troops, he hurriedly came to the city wall.

On the city wall, Zhang Xiu looked at Cao Jun under the city, worried in his heart. The Cao army under the city wall was majestic and extraordinary. On the other hand, the soldiers on the city wall do not have much momentum.

The two soldiers fought each other, relying on the momentum on their bodies, and their own soldiers were all imposing, which made them how to fight.

Under the city wall, Zhao Fei was also distressed. Jia Xu has not sobered up until now, and he can't continue to drag on, so in desperation, Zhao Fei can only lead his troops to attack the city.

"It seems that my arrival will still have some butterfly effect." Looking at the tall walls of Wancheng, Zhao Fei couldn't help but mutter.

"Pengju, what are you talking about?" Dian Wei, who was next to Zhao Fei, didn't hear Zhao Fei's words, and suddenly asked.

"Ignore it, just talk to yourself." Zhao Fei shook his head and replied, then looked towards Wancheng again. Then Zhao Fei waved his hand and motioned for Dian Wei to step forward.

Dian Wei pulled the reins and stopped not far from the wall of Wancheng, and then heard Dian Wei shouting at the top of his voice: "Listen to the people in the city, if you are surrounded by my 200,000 army and there is absolutely no room for survival, why don't you go down to the city and surrender quickly, my family can still hold your life." ”

Don't look at Dian Wei, who usually doesn't talk much, but his roar is definitely full of confidence, so that people who are far away can hear Dian Wei's roar.

Hearing Dian Wei's roar, the soldiers on the city wall all moved a little. Although Dian Wei is a little fake, the hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun have seen it with his own eyes. Moreover, the first military general and the first adviser in the city were all injured by Cao Jun. Therefore, all the soldiers have no momentum.

Zhang Xiu also listened to Dian Wei's roar, and was silent for a long time without speaking. Zhang Xiu has the heart to resist to the end, but whether anyone under his command can really think the same as himself, after all, everyone wants to live, and no one is willing to sacrifice for no reason.

After looking left and right, Zhang Xiu shouted at the top of his voice: "It's okay if you want me to surrender, I heard that your Cao army captured my army division Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, if Lord Taiwei can release my army division, I will raise the city and surrender." ”

Hearing someone on the city wall reply, Zhao Fei was a little helpless. It's not that Zhao Fei doesn't want to let it go, the problem is that Jia Xu is still in a coma, and he doesn't know when he will wake up, so how can Zhao Fei let it go, even if he releases Jia Xu who is in a coma, what's the use.

Dian Wei came to Zhao Fei's side and asked Zhao Fei in a low voice what to do, Zhao Fei also whispered a few words in Dian Wei's ear, and Dian Wei stepped forward and shouted: "It's not difficult to let Jia Xu go, but how can I know that if Jia Xu is released, the city will surrender." ”

Seeing that Cao Jun under the city actually questioned himself, Zhang Xiu's mood was a little unhappy. The old man is the most trustworthy person, if he spreads his treachery, then his reputation will be stinky, so Zhang Xiu is naturally very annoyed that Cao Jun does not believe that he has credit. Subsequently, Zhang Xiu shouted loudly: "Since Lord Taiwei can't believe me, then I have nothing to say, Lord Taiwei can attack the city, and I swear to live and die with Wancheng." After speaking, Zhang Xiu turned around and walked down.

Since Cao's army was attacking the city on the first day, Zhang Xiu did not take this matter to heart. Although there are not many defenders in Wancheng, and there is not much momentum, with the tall walls of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu still has this confidence in holding on for ten days and half a month.

Seeing Zhang Xiu turn around and walk down the city wall, Dian Wei could only return to Zhao Fei's side in a gloomy manner. Zhao Fei shook his head helplessly, and then ordered people to start attacking the city.

The siege was just a warm-up for the war, so it was just a mutual test between the two sides. Therefore, Zhao Fei did not exclude elite soldiers in this battle, but cannon fodder although not. Although this matter is very cruel, war is like this, and Zhao Fei, who has experienced so many wars, has adapted to this rhythm.

The siege lasted for a whole day, and it was not until sunset that Zhao Fei ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Seeing that Cao's army finally retreated, the soldiers on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this was just a temptation by Cao Jun, it also put a lot of pressure on Zhang Xiu's soldiers on the city wall. Cao Jun came in a surge, but they were all high-spirited, and they all looked a little fearless of life and death.

I have long heard that Cao Jun is brave, and today's fight really confirmed that Cao Jun is really brave and abnormal.

After Mingjin, Zhao Fei took Dian Wei to Jia Xu's tent. At this time, Jia Xu was lying motionless on the bed, and Jia Xu was always guarding this military camp beside him.

Looking at Jia Xu, Zhao Fei shook his head helplessly, Jia Xu didn't wake up, and he didn't have the bargaining chips to decide this battle.
