Cao Cao frowned and said, "Tancha has made the Luo Fortress too dangerous, and it is difficult to break it in a short time!" ”

"The most troublesome thing is that the Dawan people are also making trouble, which makes our rear very unstable!" Cao Hong frowned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao glanced at the situation along Luojia Mountain, and then at the Tianshan fortress, which was currently in a stalemate, and had an idea in his heart, and immediately called the herald to give an order.

Cao Cao returned to the top and sat down, "Although there is no progress in today's battle, the Guishan army is obviously very tired!" I believe that as long as you add a little more force, you can break through the Tancha Envoy! The crowd nodded.

"Is there anything going on with the Bo Fu?" Cao Cao asked.

One of the generals replied: "There is still a stalemate!" The other party's new general of the Xizhen Army is obviously not an easy person! ”

Cao Hong sneered, with a look of contempt on his face.

The Wei army continued to storm the fortress of Tancha and Luo in the following days, but still made little progress.

At this moment, Cao Cao unexpectedly received good news.

"Your Majesty, let's grab a slender!" Dian Wei hugged his fists.

Cao Cao was stunned, "Spies? Bring it in! ”

"No!"

Dian Wei raised his voice outside the tent: "Bring it in!" ”

Immediately, a young man in ragged clothes was escorted in by several royal guards, this man was disheveled, obviously a Kushan, and looked very frightened.

Cao Cao glanced at the other party, "What's your name?" ”

The man swallowed, looking dazed.

Cao Cao said to Dian Wei: "Go and call someone who understands Guishan!" ”

"No!" Pawn Wei immediately ordered a Royal Forester to go down.

A moment later, a man who looked like a scribe came to the big tent and bowed respectfully to Cao Cao.

This scribe was a clerk of the army and was proficient in the Kushan language.

Cao Cao pointed to the Guishan man who was caught, "You ask him, who is he?" Why did it appear in the barracks of our army? ”

The scribe answered, and asked the man in Kushan.

The man hesitated.

Cao Cao frowned, "Someone!" Push it out and cut it! ”

The scribes also translated this phrase.

The man was startled, and when he saw that several fierce guards were about to drag him outside, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The man spoke quickly. The scribe immediately translated to Cao Cao, "He said that he was a soldier of the Tancha Envoy Luo Fortress, responsible for defending the western section of the city wall!" ”

"Why is he here, you ask?"

The scribe asked the man accordingly.

The man quickly replied. The scribe said: "He said that he sneaked out, not to sneak into the barracks, but just to go home!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "It turned out to be a deserter!" ”

Then his heart moved, "That's not right! The whole fortress was like an iron bucket, how could he escape! You're lying! ”

The scribe immediately asked the deserter.

The deserter hurriedly explained.

The scribe said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, it turns out that he escaped through the sewers!" ”

"Sewers?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and hurriedly walked to the sand table and beckoned to the deserter, "Come here!" ”

Pawn Wei immediately escorted the deserter to the sand table.

Cao Cao pointed to the model of the fortress on the sand table and asked, "Where is the location of the sewer?" ”

The deserter hesitated.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "As long as you say it, I will let you go home!" ”

The deserter couldn't help but ask with a look of hope, "Do you count what you say?" ”

"Of course!"

The deserter hesitated, showed a resolute look, and pointed to a corner on the west side of the fortress and said, "The sewer is here!" ”

Cao Cao looked at the location he was pointing at, "What about the specific situation of this sewer?" ”

"The sewer is not big, the smallest place can barely pass through one person, and the exit is a small pond!"

"Are there any defenders at the exit?"

The deserter shook his head, "Everyone doesn't know that place!" I also found out by chance! ”

Cao Cao nodded, asked a few more questions, and felt that he couldn't ask any more valuable information, so he asked the Imperial Forest Army to escort him down. The deserter was startled and said urgently: "Your Majesty, you promised me!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Of course!" But only after I take the fortress! If you lie, I'll send your head back home! ”

With a wave of their hand, several of the guards escorted the shouting and frightened deserters down.

Cao Cao looked at the sand table in front of him and thought for a moment, and asked, "Dian Wei, do you think what he said is true?" ”

Dian Wei habitually touched his bald head, "Your Majesty, I don't know!" But I don't think his scared look is fake! ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, thought for a while, and ordered Dian Wei to gather the generals.

Cao Cao glanced at the generals, recounted the information he had just obtained, and finally asked, "What do you think?" Do you think this information is true or false? ”

The generals whispered, and Xiahou Yuan said: "Whether it's true or not, we can give it a try!" Even if it's fake, the loss won't be big! ”

The crowd nodded.

Cao Cao said: "First select a few soldiers who are good at water and take advantage of the night to explore!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" The generals hugged their fists.

A few moments later, a few elite Wei soldiers with the necessary tools quietly sneaked under a corner of the western wall of the fortress, where there was a small puddle of water one meter square, and the water overflowed from the puddle and flowed down the mountain, although this was the exit of the sewer, but the water was not muddy.

Several Wei soldiers vigilantly observed the city head, the city was brightly lit, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, but due to the angle, there was no scene near the puddle at all.

Several Wei soldiers crept into the watering hole, fearing that the sound of the water would alarm the Kushan army on the city walls.

At this time, the Wei army's tent was brightly lit, and Cao Cao was pacing back and forth.

Dian Wei and Xu Chuer stood on one side in military uniforms with knives, their eyes moving as Cao Cao moved.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Hong suddenly rushed in.

"How?" Cao Cao asked urgently.

"They're back!"

"Let them in!"

"No!" Immediately, Cao Hong called out of the tent.

Several soldiers with pale lips came in and bowed together, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Don't be polite! How's it going? Cao Cao asked impatiently.

Several soldiers nodded excitedly, and one said, "The sewers can indeed lead to the city!" However, the sewer is relatively small, and only one person can pass through at a time! ”

Cao Cao nodded, pondered for a moment, and said to a few soldiers: "You have worked hard! Go down and rest! ”

Several soldiers couldn't help but be excited, clasped their fists, and withdrew from the big tent.

"Your Majesty, is it time to act?" Cao Hong asked excitedly.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, frowning: "This is an opportunity, but it's hard to say whether it can succeed!" ”

"Dian Wei, immediately gather the generals!"

"No!"

As the night darkened, countless black shadows crept into the walls of the fortress under the cover of night, while hundreds of carefully selected soldiers sneaked to the entrance of the sewers.

There is a light on the city wall, looking like a fire dragon from a distance, and the figures under the firelight are longing, even in the middle of the night, the Guishan people still dare not be careless.

Time passed gradually, and Cao Hong, who was lurking in the rocks, couldn't help but become anxious.

Pei Yuanshao, the general on the side, couldn't help but ask softly: "General, will there be a problem?" ”

Cao Hong shook his head, "Don't worry! Wait! ”

"No!"

Inside the fortress.

A squad of soldiers is receiving a patrol on the spot.

The fortress in the middle of the night was silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. The patrol came to the entrance of an alley, and the leader of the team asked everyone to stop, turned his head to look into the dark alley, waved his hand behind him, and led the way into the alley.

This alley leads to the pond.

At this time, hundreds of black-clothed people who were still dripping water were gathering at the edge of the pond.

"Are you all coming up?" A man in black asked in a low voice.

One of the people next to him nodded, "It's all up!" ”

"Commander, someone's coming this way! It's a patrol! A man in black ran over and said in a low voice.

"How many are there?"

"About two dozen people!"

"Let everyone lurk on all sides, and do it as soon as they come in! Remember not to make a sound! The crowd nodded.

When the patrol was about to reach the exit of the alley, the captain stopped the patrol, and he glanced at the darkness ahead, and a bad feeling rose in his heart for no apparent reason.

"Boom!" A sudden sound sounded not far ahead.

Everyone couldn't help but be startled, and involuntarily drew their scimitars, only to see a black cat jump from a wooden box and run into a dog hole on the side.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The captain raised his voice: "Go back!" "The patrol went back the way it came.

A moment later, hundreds of men in black sneaked to an alley near the city gate. The lights at the city gate were bright, and hundreds of soldiers of the Kushan army were guarding under the city gate, and the city gate was also densely covered with the Kushan army.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows roared towards the Kushan army under the city gate, and dozens of Kushan soldiers fell in a pool of blood before they could figure out what was going on.

Before the others could react, hundreds of men in black rushed out of the night, some of them shooting with crossbows, arrows like flying locusts; The other group of men in black threw their lit canisters at each other, crackling and crackling, and the Kushan soldiers were burned to ashes like leaves in a storm.

At the same time, a fire broke out in the place where grain and grass were stored in the city.

"Smack!" With a soft sound, a huge fireball rose from the city, where the Kushan army had hoarded fire oil.

Yue Kefeng, who was about to rest, was taken aback, and hurriedly ran out of the hall of the office, only to see that the place where the fire oil was hoarded was already a fire, and the place where the grain and grass were hoarded was also blazing.

Yue Kefeng couldn't help but turn pale.

A subordinate general rushed to Yue Kefeng with a worried face.

"General, no, no! The fire oil depot and the grain and grass depot were burned! The gates of the city have also been breached! (To be continued.) )
