"No, I will definitely fall into Wang Baoyu's trap." Cao Zhen tried his best to stop him.

"With the Crouching Tiger on its side, how can you sleep peacefully?" Xu Huang asked.

"Our army of 400,000 can not be afraid of the hundreds of thousands of troops around us, the soldiers can not sleep without removing their armor and weapons on their sides. Whether it's a combined attack or a sneak attack, it's not enough! Cao Zhen insisted.

"Wang Baoyu has a lot of tricks, Zidan is reasonable, just strengthen precautions at night, and rest well after capturing Maicheng." Cao Ei agrees with Cao Zhen.

"Saint, Wang Baoyu has many unexpected moves in the use of soldiers, presumably the ancestors also mentioned it to the saint when he was alive. There is no shortage of elite divisions in those tens of thousands of troops, and they have the ability to be ten of them, and they must not be underestimated! Xu Huang said sincerely.

"That's why the general can't be allowed to take risks." Cao Rong found a pretty good reason, and boasted that Wang Baoyu was so powerful, it was difficult for an army of 400,000 to defeat him, could it be that you could win by distributing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?

Xu Huang withdrew from the account sullenly, as if he had already felt that this battle would be lost, at this time he missed Sima Yi the most, if Sima Yi led the troops, there would definitely be a lot of schemes, instead of letting a Cao Zhen dictate.

The next day, Cao Zhen once again advanced the army under the city of Maicheng, and pushed out the giant wood that hit the city gate, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to be fully armed and prepare sand, and once the liquid was poured down, bury it immediately to extinguish the fire.

Sure enough, just as the soldiers risked their lives to hit the city gate, a large amount of oil fell from above, accompanied by rockets.

Cao Zhen immediately ordered to bury it with sand, which did have some effect, extinguishing the fire and saving the giant tree. Cao Zhen was complacent about this, and felt that he had transformed into a resourceful general.

However, the problem arose, and the giant wood with sand attached to it was still very hot, and the soldiers could not move forward. When the giant tree cooled down a little, oil poured down above the city gate, as if it had been tossed several times, but it was impossible to move. On the contrary, while waiting for the cooldown, the Wei army was shot by many archers from above.

The second siege failed again, Cao Rong was a little impatient, and if it continued to be consumed like this, the 400,000 army was indeed not enough to waste. Cao Zhen reassured Cao Rong that he would definitely come up with a good way to take the city.

This lasted for nearly ten days, the Wei soldiers did not dare to take off their clothes and sleep because of the day and night to prevent sneak attacks, everyone was exhausted, Cao Rong thought hard about the plan to break the enemy, but his IQ was limited after all, and he was so anxious that his mouth was foaming.

Just staring at the gate of Maicheng, Cao Zhen watched for more than thirty hours, and really realized a way, he connected the iron shield used to defend against the gun and crossbow, and made a huge iron umbrella to protect the giant wood and the soldiers of the cart, so that the oil above could no longer be poured on the giant tree.

Seeing this, Fan Jinqiang sneered and immediately changed his strategy, no longer dumping oil, but throwing stones downward, until the giant umbrella swayed, and almost fell down several times.

Cao Zhen commanded the soldiers, holding a giant umbrella very tenaciously, and began to hit the city gate, and kept cheering up the soldiers. Stones of different sizes kept falling from above, and Wei Bing gritted his teeth and persevered, from the morning until dark, and finally, the iron gate was smashed.

Cao Zhen was so excited that he was about to cry, but the broken city gate hung in the air, but it did not fall. It turned out that the back of the city gate was actually blocked by stones!

Cao Zhen was annoyed, but he didn't want to give up the brilliant idea he had come up with, so he ordered his soldiers to continue to hit the boulder behind the city gate.

Ding Ding Dong tossed for a night, when the city gate was completely opened, Cao Zhen was dumbfounded, at this time the wheat city had completely become an empty city, Fan Jinqiang and the soldiers stationed there, there was no trace, not even a single person could not be seen.

Cao Rong finally entered Maicheng, his face was pale, and after fighting for more than ten days, he captured such an empty city, and did not hurt many soldiers and horses of the other party, there was nothing to show off.

"Our army is trapped around, where did Fan Jinqiang's soldiers and horses go?" Cao Rong asked with a cold face.

"Back to the saint, I have just found out, there is a tunnel dug in the city, but the entrance has been buried." Cao Zhen replied tremblingly.

"What a trick for the golden cicada to come out of its shell!" Cao Rong said, and then asked very puzzled: "Since Wang Baoyu is willing to give up this city, why did he resist for more than ten days?" ”

There was silence, and Cao Rong scolded Cao Zhen dissatisfiedly: "Ask you!" ”

Cao Zhen was so frightened that he was so frightened that his legs were weak, he fell to his knees, and said with a sad face: "Return, return to the saint, the minister, the minister doesn't know." ”

Xu Huang has rarely spoken recently, obviously not in high spirits, Cao Rong asked Xu Huang again: "General Gongming, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Shengshang, the last general thinks that Wang Baoyu deliberately stubbornly defended the wheat city, and surrounded the soldiers and horses from three roads without fighting, which is really a plan to exhaust the army." Xu Huang said.

Cao Rong had never fought before, so he didn't understand what it meant, so he asked again: "Please tell the general carefully!" ”

"In the past ten days, our army has been unable to undress and sleep, the exhaustion can be imagined, the combat effectiveness has decreased sharply, as expected, Wang Baoyu's army is about to attack." Xu Huang frowned.

"W-how's this good?" Cao Rong was a little panicked, and finally felt that Xu Huang was right, not to mention the soldiers who had been fighting, it was himself, and he hadn't slept well these nights, lest the three-way soldiers and horses launch a night attack.

"Don't worry, the saint, our army is based in Maicheng today, so it is naturally not afraid of Wang Baoyu's soldiers and horses." Cao Zhen said again.

"How can such a small city accommodate an army of 400,000?" Xu Huang asked rhetorically.

"Although it can't accommodate all the soldiers and horses, it can echo inside and outside the city." Cao Zhen argued with annoyance.

At this moment, I only heard the Malay report, Wang Baoyu had three soldiers and horses, each with 50,000 troops, and was already rushing towards Maicheng.

The city gate was broken, and it was too late to repair it at this time, if it was blocked, the connection between the inside and outside of the city was lost, and although it had the wheat city, the Wei army was already in the point of not being defended.

"How, how is this good?" Cao Rong was so shocked that his head sweated, and he finally knew that he might not be able to achieve the final victory just by relying on a large number of people, and that it was better to rely on the reality of the situation and his rich combat experience.

"Holy Lord, and listen to the last general's words, quickly evacuate Maicheng, go to the vast land by the river, advance can be attacked, retreat can be returned, in this way, there may be a chance of victory." Xu Huang hurriedly said.

"Although our army is tired, but there are many people, isn't retreating tantamount to being afraid of Wang Baoyu?" Cao Zhen shouted unconvinced.

"So stay here!" Xu Huang replied coldly, and said eagerly to Cao Rong: "Holy Lord, you should continue to suffer from its chaos!" ”

"The army retreats, leaving the city of Wheat City." Cao Rong ordered.

The 400,000 tired Wei army immediately retreated towards the Han River, and Wang Baoyu and Mo Qianxun were waiting for this time, and the three-way army rushed all the way and began to pursue Cao Ei's army at the fastest speed.
