Although the Jing army did not carry out a siege battle, the feeling of oppression made Cao Hong almost suffocated, and the trapped beast was still fighting - yes, Cao Hong felt like a beast in a cage, full of strength, but there was nowhere to vent, he would rather the Jing army come to attack the city and fight to the death with the enemy in the city, rather than wait for such a long time, this depressing taste can make him crazy.

The Jing army did not attempt to attack the city, but surrounded the city of Chang'an like an iron barrel, around the city of Chang'an, the army dug three trenches, more than a zhang wide, up to several zhang deep, completely cut off the internal and external traffic of Chang'an City. Obviously, the Jing army wanted to trap Cao Hong to death in Chang'an City by means of siege.

The original grain and grass reserves in Chang'an City are sufficient, but no matter how sufficient they are, it is impossible to meet the long-term supply of 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of residents.

But Cao Hong and others were eager to penetrate, and there was never a shadow of Cao Wei's reinforcements on the eastern horizon, and at this time, there were a lot of rumors in Chang'an City, saying that the King of Wei had given up Chang'an and would not send reinforcements at all. Now the defenders of Chang'an can only fend for themselves.

Cao Hong was originally impatient and irritable, although he didn't believe that Cao Cao would not miss the brotherhood, even if he didn't take into account the brotherhood, at least the important town of Chang'an was extremely important to Cao Wei's forces, how could Cao Cao give up? But months passed, and there was no news of reinforcements from the east. made Cao Hong's originally firm mind shaken.

Several groups of men and horses were sent in succession to try to break through the blockade of the Jing army and listen to the news from the east, but under the strict precautions of the Jing army, they could not get through the blockade trenches at all, and they all turned back without exception.

Cao Hong was extremely depressed and borrowed wine all day to drown his sorrows. On this day, when Cao Hong was getting drunk, the sergeant under his door suddenly came to report: "Governor Qiqi." The big thing is not good, the granary in the north of the city is on fire! ”

Cao Hong hit a spirit, most of the wine woke up, the granary in the north of the city is the largest grain storage place of the Wei army, and the heavy troops are very strict in peacetime, even if the air is dry and dry, it should not cause a fire, and now Chang'an is besieged. Cao Hong is all counting on these grains and grasses, once the grains and grasses are burned. It's like falling into a desperate situation.

"Quick, order the soldiers everywhere to go and extinguish the fire, and keep the granary at any cost!" Cao Hong ordered loudly with all his might. He stood up and hurried out the door, staggering as he walked, before he had fully awakened.

Just out of the house. Another soldier came in a panic to report, and there were more than one call.

"Governor Qiyu, the granary in the south of the city is on fire!"

"Governor Qiyu, the armory in the east of the city is on fire!"

"Governor Qiyu, there is a fire in the forage field in the west of the city!"

“……”

Cao Hong is now fully awake. He really felt a chill in his backbone, and when he looked around, sure enough, there were fires in many places in Chang'an City, and thick smoke was billowing out, this was by no means an accidental fire incident, it must be a spy sent by the Jing Army, wantonly setting fire to Chang'an City, intending to create chaos.

But what Cao Hong couldn't figure out was that Chang'an City had been very well guarded in the past few months, the city gate was closed, and no one had been allowed to enter the city at all.

Cao Hong's face is all green, the granary armory forage field, but it is only the key to his defense of the city, once it is burned, the army will have no food and the army's heart will be chaotic, and Chang'an City will not be able to defend it no matter what. Cao Hong ordered all the officers and soldiers defending the city to put out the fire, and searched for the arsonists throughout the city.

The fierce northwest wind brought great trouble to the fire extinguishing action of the Wei army, until the evening, the fire was all extinguished, Chang'an City was a mess, the initial inspection loss, nearly eighty percent of the grain and grass were burned, the fire borrowed the wind, the fire spread, and also caused thousands of houses in Chang'an City to be burned, the loss was quite heavy.

As for the search for the arsonists, but nothing was found, after these arsonists set fire, they fled quickly, and before the Wei army arrived, they had already fled, their familiarity with the terrain of Chang'an was breathtaking, and the Wei army patrol also intercepted a few people, but they were all extraordinary, the patrols were not opponents at all, and they were all killed, but the patrols were killed and wounded, and the patrols suffered many casualties, and they fled over the wall with those masked people in sight.

This fire, so that the Wei army suffered a heavy blow, now the Jing army will be Chang'an City like an iron barrel, wings are difficult to fly, reinforcements are long gone, internal and external difficulties, Chang'an City people are panicked, morale is low.

Can't sit back any longer! Cao Hong discussed with his subordinates, and thought that if they held on, there was only a dead end waiting for them, and the only way to survive was to break through at the risk of death.

So Cao Hong led his army out of the city, trying to fight a bloody way to flee east. But Cao Hong obviously underestimated Liu Ze's determination to besiege Chang'an, and in the past half a year, Liu Ze did not shoot an arrow at Chang'an City, did not send a single soldier, but concentrated on building an encirclement against Chang'an, and the three blockade trenches were Liu Ze's masterpieces.

With about 150,000 troops to besiege Chang'an, which is guarded by 100,000 troops, this seems to be unworkable in the art of war, if you want to encircle the enemy, you must have at least five times the strength of the army, and now the total number of troops of the Jing army is only fifty percent more than that of the Wei army, if you rely on these troops to besiege Chang'an City to death, it is indeed very reluctant.

However, Liu Ze had another clever plan, digging a trench outside Chang'an, using the blockade trench to deal with the Wei army who wanted to break through, at the beginning, Cao Hong still wanted to hold Chang'an, so he ignored the matter of digging trenches outside the city, and when he ran out of food in the city and wanted to break through, he found that it was too late.

The crossbowmen of the Jing army were hidden behind the trenches, Cao Hong led the army to launch a surprise attack, as soon as he approached the deep trenches, ten thousand arrows were fired at all, and the Wei army was not given the opportunity to fill the trenches at all, the Wei army suffered heavy losses outside Chang'an City, and the seemingly not too wide trenches became the moat of the Wei army at the moment, and several strong attacks in a row were never able to complete the breakthrough, which made Cao Hong also desperate.

In the next few days, Cao Hong took turns to launch a strong attack, although he was able to break through one or two blockade trenches by luck, but the reaction of the Jing army was quite fast, as long as the Wei army launched an attack in a certain direction, a large number of Jing troops could quickly be put into the first line of blockade, and the last trench became a nightmare for the Wei army, Cao Hong tried his best, and could not cross it. In the end, Cao Hong had to choose to retreat to Chang'an City and prepare for a decisive battle.

The Jing army is still only encircling and not fighting, but the encirclement is shrinking, and the space left for Cao Hong is getting smaller and smaller.

"Governor Qiyu, Zhu Ling led the army out of the city." The sergeant hurriedly reported. Zhu Ling is Cao Hong's deputy general, several times failed to break through, the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, in this situation, more and more soldiers escaped, but Zhu Ling took the lead and fled to Cao Hong was surprised.

"The rebellion and the separation...... Let's go...... Let's go, ......" Cao Hong was drunk and relaxed, unable to return to the sky, this is the true portrayal of his heart now.

"Qiyu Governor, the Xuanping Gate guards will surrender the city, and the Jing army has entered the city." There was another urgent report from the door.

Cao Hong sat there indifferently, pouring himself a drink, as if the news of the destruction of the city had nothing to do with him, perhaps his mind was numb.

"Governor go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late." The soldiers anxiously urged Cao Hongdao.

Cao Hong looked up to the sky and laughed, without the slightest intention of leaving the house, picked up the whole jar of wine, and sprinkled it everywhere, laughing maniably, so that the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but wonder if Cao Dudu was crazy.

Cao Hong is not crazy, but he is desperate, and vows to live and die with Chang'an City, this is his promise to Cao Cao, but today, coexistence is impossible, only co-death remains.

The flames engulfed the Governor's Mansion, and in the light of the fire, a person could be seen looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, which was terrifying. (To be continued......)
