Meng Da was speechless, and after a while, he said, "Then what do you say?" We can't just sit here and wait! ”

Young Master Zhuge said with a smile: "My General Meng, be patient, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can work slowly and carefully!" Before he finished speaking, on the official road to the east of Wancheng, several fast horses galloped towards Wancheng, raising a road of smoke and dust behind him. Judging from the clothing, it looks like Cao Jun's messenger.

In less than a cup of tea, the fast horse galloped to the east gate of Wancheng. The messenger shouted to the head of the city, and above the city, the soldiers made careful inquiries and checked the customs clearance documents, and then they lowered the drawbridge, opened the gate, and the gate opened, and several fast horses galloped in. Seeing the fast horse entering the city, the corners of Young Master Zhuge unconsciously rose, the essence of his eyes flashed, he patted Meng Da with a smile, and said, "It's done!" ”

Hearing this, Meng Da stretched his neck, and also looked towards the city gate, and asked suspiciously: "You think far, what did you say?" ”

Young Master Zhuge smiled and said, "You wait to see a good show!" ”

Half an hour later, the sky was already completely dark, at this time, in the distance, the Wancheng suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate suddenly opened, and the soldiers held torches, like a fire dragon, along the official road, out of the city gate and quickly drove east.

It wasn't until the soldiers were completely out of the city and the city gate was closed that in the forest, Young Master Zhuge slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Twelve thousand soldiers and horses, good guys, now there are less than a thousand soldiers in the city!" ”

"What? Less than a thousand, great, shall we fight? Meng Da was excited when he heard this.

Young Master Zhuge shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient, now that Cao Jun has not gone far, if we know that Wancheng has been attacked and turn around to rescue, we will be miserable!" I'm waiting for half an hour. ”

After another half an hour, Young Master Zhuge stood up, called Meng Da over, and whispered, Meng Da smiled and nodded.

Young Master Zhuge put on Cao Jun's military uniform, and Xiao Bai and a group of more than a dozen people, rode fast horses, ran to the official road, and pretended to come from the east to report the news.

Fast horses galloped, after a while, to complete the city, above the city, the lights were bright, there was a torch every five meters, tonight the wind was strong, the flames were blown by the wind whirring.

"Who are you?" The soldiers at the head of the city had obviously seen the dozen or so fast horses galloping from a distance, and when they saw the fast horses coming to the city, they asked loudly.

On the fast horse, Young Master Zhuge took out the token from his arms and said, "We came from the Xiangfan camp, and on the orders of the prime minister, we are looking for General Cao Ren to have official business. ”

Above the city, the soldiers frowned when they heard this, and said, "According to the rules, we have to check our identity documents!" ”

Young Master Zhuge took out the identity document from his left sleeve and put it in the hanging basket. The hanging basket was raised, and the night captain on duty at the head of the city took the identity document from the hanging basket, and took a closer look, the big square seal captain recognized, and when he saw the official rank, he was actually a guerrilla general, and he was shocked, and hurriedly went down to the city, ordered his subordinates to open the city gate, and saluted: "The last general does not know that the upper errand has arrived, and he has missed the distance, please forgive the sins!" ”

Young Master Zhuge saw that behind the captain, there were dozens of soldiers guarding the city, nodded and glanced at Xiao Bai beside him, Xiao Bai understood, and his hand tightly grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.

Young Master Zhuge stood tall on his horse and said with a smile: "What about General Cao Ren?" ”

"If you go back to the errand......" Before he finished speaking, the lieutenant's voice stopped abruptly, and suddenly he fell to the ground with an incredible "plop" and a steel nail more than an inch long stuck in his throat.

The soldiers defending the city were all frightened when they encountered this sudden situation, and before they could get out of the panic, they saw that Young Master Zhuge smiled slightly, pulled out a long knife from his waist, and shouted: "Rush!" "Riding a fast horse, one horse took the lead, one charged, left and right, dozens of Cao soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, blood flowed all over the ground.

At this time, outside the east gate, countless fires suddenly lit up in the forest, and the shouting of killing suddenly sounded, and the Wei army in the city was suddenly in chaos, and there were few defenders, plus the dragons had no leader, and the huge Wancheng was occupied by the Shu army in less than half an hour. Standing on top of the city, Young Master Zhuge looked down at the whole city with a smile, and said to Meng Da beside him: "Brother Meng, you said that if Cao Hong knew that he had been pitted twice by the same method, would he have a feeling of wanting to die?" ”

When Meng Da heard this, he laughed and said, "If I were him, I would hang myself directly!" ”

On that day, more than a dozen messengers suddenly came to Wancheng, with gray faces and tattered clothes and armor, and came to Wancheng, knelt down on the ground, and burst into tears, saying that Cao Ren was ambushed on the road and was trapped on a small dirt mountain, and was in danger. Cao Hong was shocked when he heard this, and without thinking about it, he ordered his troops and horses, and under the guidance of the messenger, he killed in the direction of Xudu.

Halfway through, Cao Hong suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, his brows were tightly locked, and his heart was irritable. Suddenly, outside the book in front of him, a fire dragon drove west along the official road, Cao Hong was shocked, and said in his heart, it can't be a collision with the Shu army, right?

Thinking like this in his heart, his hand unconsciously clenched the handle of the long knife at his waist, and said loudly: "The whole army stops advancing and prepares to fight!" ”

Cao Hong's army stopped on the official road, and the soldiers drew their short knives from their waists, clenched their spears, drew round bows and arrows, and were nervously guarded.

As the distance got closer and closer, by the light of the fire, the other party became clearer, "General, it seems to be our people!" The captain next to Cao Hong saw that the person who came seemed to be wearing Cao Jun's uniform, and hurriedly pointed and said.

When Cao Hong heard this, he looked at it, but saw that this Biao man was the leader, with a gray face, torn clothes and armor, and a bloody face, but it was Cao Ren, Cao Hong was shocked when he saw this, clamped the horse's belly, galloped forward, and approached, Cao Hong asked in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

When Cao Ren saw Cao Hong, he almost didn't cry, he cried with a face, and said, "Hey, don't mention it, I was ambushed by Zhang Feipifu, and I finally came out!" Hey, why are you here? ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he asked suspiciously, "Didn't my brother send someone to ask me for help?" ”

"What? Not good! Turn the tiger away from the mountain! Cao Ren was shocked when he heard this, "Wancheng is in danger!" ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he realized that the two turned their horses' heads, joined forces, and went to Wancheng to kill, and when they arrived in Wancheng, they saw that the top of the city was already full of Shu army flags, Cao Ren patted his thigh and said: "It's still a step too late!" Damn it! ”

Cao Hong opened his eyes at this time, gritted his teeth and said: "The Shu army bullied me too much, brother, let's have 15,000 or 6,000 troops together, let's attack the city!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Ren nodded, pulled out his long sword from his waist, and said, "Okay, attack the city!" ”

The Cao army was three times larger than the Wancheng Shu army, besieging the city on three sides, the momentum was huge, the fire under the city was soaring, and the shouting and killing could be heard for miles away.

Young Master Zhuge stood on top of the city, and together with Meng Da, he commanded the soldiers to defend the city, and the fire oil, straw, rolling wood, stones, bows, crossbows, spears, and short knives that the Cao army had piled up at the head of the city to defend the city were just used by the army of Young Master Zhuge and caused great losses to the Cao army that was besieging the city. Due to the Cao army out of the city in a hurry, the lack of siege equipment, the siege war was not going well, looking at the soldiers who were constantly smashed down from the ladder, Cao Ren frowned, his heart ached, this kind of siege war is actually the most stupid tactics, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was criticized by Sun Wu, the master of the art of war of Qi, in his work "The Art of War", Sun Wu has a very clear interpretation of the harmfulness of this siege warfare, but siege warfare is thousands of years, the inevitable way of war, it is regrettable!
