"Brother Chong, Zhuge Liang asked for a truce before the war, and you agreed?" Under the city of the plains, in Cao Chong's military camp, Cao Zhang had just returned from his inspection under the city, and Zhuge Liang's deployment in the south of the city was a good opportunity for an assault.

"Zhuge Liang's formation is indeed strange, but most of it has been thoroughly studied by me. This time Zhuge Liang will take half a month to set up the formation, it must be a big array, I want to see it, the third brother rest assured, our army now has absolute strength, and Zhuge Liang will not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes. Cao Chong smiled slightly, no matter what strategy Zhuge Liang had, Cao Chong had enough confidence to deal with it.

"Since Brother Chong has confidence, I won't say much for my brother. Brother Chong, Brother Rui warned us to be careful of Zhuge Liang before going on the expedition. Cao Zhang glanced at Cao Chong, he always felt that something was wrong with Cao Chong, but he couldn't say it.

"Zhuge Liang is indeed a powerful opponent, Brother Rui's reminder is not wrong, but we can't be afraid of the enemy, Zhuge Liang proposed a half-moon period, we can also prepare, no matter what Zhuge Liang's big array is after half a month, I will attack Plain City!" Cao Chong is talented and smart, and he has already made preparations with both hands, and he has already ordered the army to dig tunnels near Pingyuan City, in case he can't break Zhuge Liang's formation, he can also attack the city with tunnels.

"Brother Chong has a plan?" Cao Chang glanced at Cao Chong in surprise, no wonder Cao Chong insisted on letting Zhuge Liang set up the formation, it turned out that he had already planned.

"Yes, third brother, this is our new tunnel!" Cao Chong took out a drawing and handed it to Cao Zhang.

Since Cao Chong ruled Qingzhou, Cao Chong began to recruit tomb robbers under Cao Cao's rule, especially some of the people who originally touched the Jin Army were recruited by Cao Chong. Cao Chong reorganized an army. Name: The Army of the Diggers.

This army took advantage of its ability to rob tombs. Trained. A new type of tunnel has been developed, which is deeper than ordinary tunnels, and has a higher load-bearing force and air exchange function, allowing more soldiers to march in the tunnel. What's more, this army is another method of digging the city, which can quickly dig up the bricks of the city, and Cao Chong believes that once this team has dug the tunnel, as long as he wants to attack the plain. A single order can cause the walls of the plains to collapse and lose their defense.

Cao Chong had already sent troops to dig tunnels from the first day of the siege of the plain. Cao Chong set up a formation for Zhuge Liang, firstly to see Zhuge Liang's wonderful formation, and secondly, to hide his true purpose.

"Brother Chong, you are even more treacherous than Brother Rui, with these fifty tunnels, Pingyuan City will definitely have no power to fight back, and when the city wall is destroyed, our cavalry will be able to rush into the city." Cao Zhang admired Cao Chong very much at this time, this younger brother's head is really good.

The crossing of the Yellow River, among Cao Zhen's military camps.

"Brother Rui. What are you doing here? Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Rui who suddenly appeared in the barracks. Lu Rui shouldn't have been in charge of the military affairs of the four states in Xudu, how could he come here.

"Zidan, I don't have time to explain to Zidan, now the situation has changed, our army's Xu Du's grain storage was destroyed by Liu Beijun, and now I want to go to the plain. There is a military order, and now Zidan is going to carry it out. When Lu Rui saw Cao Zhen, he didn't want to explain more, so he directly gave a military order.

"Yes, the last general will obey the order!" Seeing that Lu Rui was so anxious, Cao Zhen was not polite, and hugged his fists and obeyed.

"Zidan, your 50,000 army will be withdrawn immediately, there is no point here, Liu Bei estimates that he has withdrawn to Hebei in Xu Tu through the territory of Daofan County. Rui knew that the wheat fields in the area of Pingyuan County had been destroyed by Brother Chong, and the people did not have much food, so our army took this opportunity to move all the people of Pingyuan County south to the rule of our army, and Zidan was responsible for this matter. Lu Rui thought a lot along the way, that is, Cao Chong suffered a big loss in the plains, and Lu Rui also wanted to save some face and move all the population under Cao Cao's rule.

"Brother Rui, there are a lot of people in Pingyuan County, especially in the Nanpi area, which has a large population, and it is probably a little difficult to move to the rule of our army?"

"Zidan, Rui means that no matter whether the people want to move the people south, those who are not convinced will use the strong, as for the family, you can do what you want, isn't there a family to raise in Zidan's mansion? Now that there are not many garrisons in the Nanpi area of the plain, is Zidan's 50,000 army just an ornament? Lu Rui glanced at Cao Zhen, how did Lao Cao get started, you don't know.

"Brother Rui, don't worry, you really know how to do it."

"Okay, Zidan go quickly, as long as the people are in hand, within ten years, our army can return to Hebei!"

"No!"

After Lu Rui finished ordering Cao Zhen, he rushed to Pingyuan County with 3,000 cavalry.

In the Plains City, Zhuge Liang was making pre-war deployments in the council hall, and tomorrow would be the date of the appointment between Zhuge Liang and Cao Chong.

"Strategist, everything in the city has been arranged, tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle of our army, what is the strategy of the strategist to break the enemy?" Liu Feng asked Zhuge Liang in the conference hall, he was only strengthening the city defense and the street battle defense in the city in the past few days, and he didn't see Zhuge Liang any new deployment at all, could it be that Zhuge Liang finally wanted to fight with Cao Chong in the plain city? Although some of Liu Bei's defeated army returned to the plains, they only added up to 20,000 people, and they could defeat Cao Chong by fighting in the streets? Liu Feng was a little unconvinced.

"Feng Gongzi, have you dug the underground corridor?" Zhuge Liang ignored Liu Feng, but asked Liu Feng if he had dug the tunnel.

"Back to the military division, everything has been dug according to the requirements of the military division, and the corridor leads directly to the woods in the north of the city."

"Okay, this military division will go with Gongzi to see Yongdao." Under the leadership of Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang was very satisfied after checking the excavation of Yongdao, and then told Liu Feng to guard Yongdao well, and he returned to Taishou Mansion.

Early in the morning, Cao Chong came to the plain city as promised.

"Mr. Zhuge rushed to come according to the appointment, I don't know what kind of big array Mr. has? I want to see it. ”

"Chong Gongzi, the formation is in the city, if Gongzi wants to see it, it will be good to attack the city." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and looked at Cao Chong playfully.

"Zhuge Liang, are you cheating?"

"What Chong Gongzi said is right, if Chong Gongzi wants to attack the city, please attack the city, but Liang calculates that Tiangong will not be beautiful!" Zhuge Liang pointed to the sky, then laughed and went down the city.

"Sky?" Cao Zhang looked up. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Black clouds crush the city.

"Brother Chong. This is? ”

Cao Chong looked at the sky, with a disdainful expression in his eyes, isn't it just that he can predict celestial phenomena, thinking that heavy rain can stop our army's attack? Zhuge Liang, you underestimate the Central Plains Iron Rider!

"Third brother don't need to panic, this is just a natural celestial phenomenon, Zhuge Liang thinks that he can stop our army with some sky-watching techniques? It's a joke, in the heavy rain our army is not good, and the enemy army is not good. The conditions are all the same. Zhuge Liang, today I will let you see how powerful my Cao Chong is! Cao Chong smiled slightly, isn't it raining, hmph, just raid in the rain, see how you Zhuge Liang resists!

"Third brother, let's withdraw our troops first, and then attack the city after an hour." Cao Chong rode his horse back to the barracks.

An hour later, it rained heavily in Plains City. It was pitch dark, and from time to time a few bolts of lightning streaked by. Heavy rain. A rain like never before! It hasn't stopped for an hour.

"Brother, do you think Cao Jun will attack the city today?"

"Little brother. Are you crazy, it's raining like this, brother, I haven't seen it a few times in my life, and the Cao army will attack the city? They must have rested in the barracks, and according to this rain, it is estimated that Cao Jun's barracks will be flooded. A veteran looked at the city tower, where was Cao Jun's figure, and there was not a single ghost.

Boom! Suddenly, the veteran felt a shake on his feet, and his body was unstable, and the young soldier hurriedly helped the veteran up.

"Brother, the city wall? The walls are falling! The young soldier looked incredulously at a nearby wall, which had collapsed.

"Kill!" Suddenly, shouts of killing sounded under the city tower, and Cao Jun came out of the tunnel and attacked Pingyuan City.

Outside the city, Cao Chong saw the city wall collapse, smiled slightly, and finally succeeded.

"Brother Chong, Zhuge Liang is really powerful, he can predict this heavy rain, and in just one hour, there will be water in our military camp." Cao Zhang looked around from the side, the rain was pouring down, he had never seen such a heavy rain.

"Zhuge Liang's celestial technique is indeed unexpected, if my guess is right, Zhuge Liang wants to use this heavy rain to stop our army's attack, and finally achieve the goal of winning without a fight, but Zhuge Liang underestimates me too much, you count me, I will also calculate you!" Cao Chong had already estimated Zhuge Liang's plan at this time, the heavy rain was not suitable for attacking the city, and the plain city was on a high slope, surrounded by depressions, Zhuge Liang wanted to use the heavy rain to form a flood and force himself to retreat.

"Brother Chong, what should we do now?"

"Third brother, now that we have broken the wall of Pingyuan City, Zhuge Liang must be surprised, I estimate that Zhuge Liang's character will definitely leave a way to retreat, the third brother will lead 10,000 cavalry outside to block the surroundings of Pingyuan City, as long as he sees the enemy army out of the city, kill him on the spot. Little brother, I led the army into the city and captured Zhuge Liang! "Cao Chong was played by someone, of course he wants to take revenge.

"Brother Chong, let the third brother go to the charge, you can stay in the barracks and guard it."

"Third brother, Chong has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and there will be no big problem with tigers and leopards riding by his side, Chong is the commander of the three armies, and he has just reached the crown, if he is the first soldier, he will definitely be able to inspire the three armies, the third brother can rest assured, Chong will not be reckless, the siege is still by Chong, this is a military order!" Cao Chong pressed Cao Zhang's hand, indicating that he had made up his mind.

"Brother Chong is the boss, so listen to Brother Chong." Cao Chong is always the commander, if Cao Zhang does not receive the order, he will not give Cao Chong face, and the discord between the generals is a taboo in the army.

"Okay, third brother, let's do what we do!"

"Military division, military division is not good, not good, Cao's army has invaded the city." A personal soldier hurriedly reported to Zhuge Liang.

"What? Did Cao's army invade the city? Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and it was still pouring rain outside, so why did Cao Chong attack the city.

"Strategist, that's right." Later, his own soldiers reported to Zhuge Liang that Cao Chong attacked the city, the city wall collapsed, and a large number of Cao troops poured out of the ground.

"Dozens of tunnels? Cao Chong, Liang is really convinced! Zhuge Liang shook his head, he didn't expect Cao Chong to be so powerful, he had calculated Cao Chong many times, but he didn't expect that he would be countercalculated now. Dozens of tunnels, Cao Chong must have started digging as soon as he surrounded Pingyuan City, otherwise there would be no such result.

I thought that it was the formation that attracted Cao Chong and made my procrastination plan successful, but I didn't expect that Cao Chong had already discovered his procrastination plan, deceived all his formations, and also carried out this surprise attack that people had to admire.

"If Cao Chong is not eliminated, our army will never be at peace!" Zhuge Liang let out a long breath, Cao Chong's performance was too amazing, if he didn't get rid of him when he was not mature, I am afraid that he would not have to fight in the future, and he would surrender to Cao Cao directly. This person is a rare talent!

"Order the whole army, resist to the death, and fight with Cao Jun in the streets!" Zhuge Liang lost again, and now he can only hope for the final blow, as long as it drags on, the more likely Cao Chong is to be fooled.

"No!"

The plain street battle was carried out in the heavy rain, and the Cao army suddenly attacked, which caught the defenders of the plain off guard, but the plain city was all the army trained by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang personally, and it was a young new force. The battle continued from early morning until after noon, and the defenders of the city gradually lost their resistance, and the city was littered with corpses. Zhuge Liang commanded on the arrow tower of the Taishou Mansion and confronted Cao Chong in the street battle.

"Kill!" Cao Chong finally attacked the Taishou Mansion, and Zhuge Liang's figure gradually disappeared.

At this time, Lu Rui's cavalry was galloping towards the plain. Looking at the black clouds in the sky and the lightning flashing from time to time, Lu Rui had an ominous premonition. When I found the first bamboo slip of the Taigong Art of War, I didn't care much about it after seeing the four changes in the celestial phenomena of the Zhuge clan. But since Bowangpo, Lu Rui has changed his opinion of Zhuge Liang, and this Zhuge Liang is indeed a little weird.

"Four changes in the sky?" Could it be that Zhuge Liang is going to make a move? Thinking of this, Lu Rui ordered people to speed up the march, and they must rush to Pingyuan City as soon as possible.

"Report, Childe, I found a tunnel, Zhuge Liang may have run away from the tunnel." A personal soldier found a tunnel in the study of the Taishou Mansion.

"Oh? It seems that Zhuge Liang escaped temporarily, okay, order the guards to follow me down the tunnel to pursue! Order General Li Dian to lead a cavalry into the woods north of the city to search! "Cao Chong is chasing Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang must have just gotten off the tunnel, Cao Chong followed at this time, Zhuge Liang definitely didn't dare to touch the tunnel mechanism, otherwise everyone would die.

"No!"

Cao Chong entered the tunnel with his guards and pursued all the way to the woods outside the city.

"Childe, there are no traps in the tunnel?" Cao Chong rode to the ground with the tiger and leopard, and there were no traps in the tunnel.

"Hmph, it seems that Zhuge Liang is already at the end of the crossbow, and he didn't even set traps in the tunnel, so he must have fled in a hurry." Cao Chong showed a smug smile, Zhuge Liang where do you run?

Cao Chong led people into the woods, and soon Cao Chong discovered that this was a formation, a simple Five Elements Maze Formation. Cao Chong learned the Qimen formation from Xun You in his early years, and this kind of small formation was a piece of cake for Cao Chong.

Under the leadership of Cao Chong, the tiger and leopard rode to the heart of the woods.

"Chong Gongzi, look!" One of the guards pointed ahead, and there was a large tombstone in front of him! ”

"Tombstones?" Cao Chong looked at the hand of his own soldier.

A large tombstone reads: Cao Chong's tomb four big characters. There is something strange about this tombstone, it is not made of stone, but rather a huge piece of pure iron.

Suddenly, two long arrows shot out of the tombstone.

"Childe be careful!" Shoot down the arrows with their own soldiers. At the same time, the trap was triggered, and after a roar, Cao Chong's army was actually in a formation.

"Childe, at your feet?"

Cao Chong looked at the soles of his feet, and there were neat lines of iron wires under the muddy soil.

Suddenly, a huge lightning bolt swept through the sky, and Cao Chong was struck by lightning before he could react, and none of the soldiers around him were spared. (To be continued......)
