Peng Xiaoyu sat in the hanging basket, was lowered from the city wall, stood by the moat, and beckoned to the Shu Han army opposite.

The Shu Han army was inexplicable, someone came up to question, and learned that it was the servant of General Zhennan, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took her over the moat and sent her to the big tent where Wei Ba stood on the hillside.

Wei Ba was arranging the task, and when he saw Peng Xiaoyu, he didn't say anything for a long time, and it took a long time before he laughed: "Xiaoyu? As he spoke, he stood up.

"Young master, it's me." Peng Xiaoyu also laughed, walked forward quickly, gently pressed his hand on the shoulder of Wei Ba, who was about to get up to greet her, and shook his head quietly. Ding Feng was taken aback when he saw her walking quickly towards Wei Ba, and was about to draw his sword when he stretched out, but was stopped by Dunwu.

"Why did you get out?" Wei Ba was overjoyed: "I was about to send someone to pick up your brother." ”

"No need, Sima Yi asked me to deliver a letter to you and put my brother in custody." Peng Xiaoyu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Ba. Wei Ba took it in his hand, glanced at Sima Yi's handwriting, and couldn't help laughing. The war is imminent, what does Sima Yi mean by writing this letter, a plan to delay the army? It's not like you want to surrender.

Wei Ba opened the letter, glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile. Sima Yi wanted to negotiate and planned to divide Nanyang with Shu Han. In the letter, he also analyzed the situation in Shu Han. He especially said to Wei Ba, you are a rising star, you are already a general in Zhennan at a young age, you know this truth, so you will not fight for the interests in Nanyang, whether you capture Wancheng or not, it makes no difference to you.

Now that Yizhou is tired, all you can rely on is your Tuntian in Jiangnan. Instead of doing his best to fight for Li Yan's military merits, why not accept it if it is not good and divide Nanyang? You also know that Wancheng is not so easy to fight, and I have made full preparations in the city - you can ask Miss Peng about this - at least for a month, you will not be able to conquer Wancheng. And whether your food can last for a month may be a question. In that case, why not accept it if you don't see it?

After reading the letter, Wei Ba smiled. I have to say. Sima Yi's proposal is very appetizing. Even if he knew that he was delaying the army, he couldn't help but be moved. Seriously, he has indeed reached the end of the crossbow now, can he conquer Wancheng. He wasn't sure. If you can really divide Nanyang with Sima Yi through negotiations. It's a good choice.

But. He didn't believe in Sima Yi at all, and he hated Sima Yi very much, so. He had no chance of accepting Sima Yi's suggestion at all.

He knew very well that Sima Yi's purpose was to be the mainstay, and he wanted to use this war to gain a firm foothold in the Wei court. Because of him, Sima Yi's rise to prominence is much more difficult than in history, but despite this, he is still rising. He does not rely on his military exploits, but on his family background, and behind him are countless families.

Wei Ba didn't like these families, and he didn't like Sima Yi, even if he knew that Sima Yi's father and son would never have the chance to establish the weird Jin Dynasty again, even if he very much hoped that the Wei court would be a little more chaotic, he was not willing to let Sima Yi be proud.

"Xiaoyu, don't go back......"

"No, I'm going back." Peng Xiaoyu shook his head: "My brother is still in the city, and I don't want him to be hurt because of me." ”

"If you go back, you won't be able to help him." Wei Ba smiled slightly: "Or, you will only become a burden to him." Without you by his side, he might have escaped more easily. ”

Peng Xiaoyu smiled: "He said the same too, but I still can't let him go alone." She paused and lowered her head: "I only have one relative to him now, even if we die, we will die together." ”

Wei Ba shrugged: "You are still as stubborn as before, stubborn to the point of being an idiot. Okay, didn't Sima Yi give you three days, you stay here first, if the young master can't break Wancheng within three days, I will agree to his conditions and negotiate with him. ”

Peng Xiaoyu nodded, Wei Ba asked her to lead her to the back tent to see Guan Feng first, sat down and thought about it, and said to the captains and captains who were still waiting for his order: "Don't hesitate, go and prepare, each battalion must be ready, and strive to destroy the city defense of Wancheng within twelve hours." Next, it is necessary to prepare for the transfer of positions. Even the ballista is no problem, the thunderbolt is going to enter the city, and some adjustments may be made, you must prepare in advance, and don't be in a hurry when the time comes, affecting the progress of the army's siege. ”

"Whoa." The generals responded with a bang, turned around and walked out.

……

Wei Ba came to Li Yan's big tent. Li Yanzheng was discussing with Meng Da, Ma Yan and others, and when he saw Wei Ba coming in, he hurriedly beckoned: "Ziyu, sit here." ”

Wei Ba smiled: "No need, these are all elders here, I'll just accompany the last seat." General, Sima Yi has sent a letter, and he wants to negotiate. "The more polite Li Yan is to him, the more attention he will receive. He didn't want to be targeted.

Wei Ba said as he handed over Sima Yi's letter. Li Yan glanced at Wei Ba in surprise, took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and then pondered for a moment: "Ziyu, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

"Sima Yi is an old fox with a keen sense of smell, he wants to negotiate, and he obviously smells something." Wei Ba smiled: "We might as well take advantage of his vigilance to hit the morale of the Wei army." ”

Ma Yan also finished reading Sima Yi's letter, listened to Wei Ba's words, and also echoed: "Ziyu is right, this is a good opportunity. Back then, Sima Yi used Sun Quan's letter to strengthen the morale of the Wei army in Fancheng, and today, we use his letter to break down the morale of the Wei army. ”

Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and nodded slowly.

Li Yan immediately sent an envoy to the city gate to shout, saying with great fanfare that he would come to negotiate in response to Sima Yi's invitation. As soon as the envoy shouted under the city, the Wei soldiers in the city knew about it, some were shocked, and some were secretly happy in their hearts. When Sima Yi heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Not only that, Li Yan also sent someone to Ye County with Sima Yi's letter and told Lu Xun about the incident. Lu Xun understood, sent someone to Kunyang, and said to Zhang He, look, the hussar general is going to negotiate, do you also sit down and talk? You give us Kunyang, and we will let you retreat safely.

Of course, Zhang He would not believe these nonsense, but Sima Yi wanted to negotiate with the Shu Han people and divide Nanyang, which was good news. He immediately sent someone to send the news to Luoyang.

While operating this, the battle to attack Wancheng began.

In the southwest corner of Wancheng, thousands of soldiers climbed the mound, waving their flags, and were ready to fight, and one after another crossbow cars were ready to go. Behind the mound of earth, the counterweight boxes of the thunderbolt positions were hoisted high, the wooden tips were taut, and the stone bullets lay quietly in the net baskets, waiting for the attack to begin. Next to each thunderbolt car is a track made of two logs, and a large cart full of stone bullets and pottery bombs is quietly parked on the track.

Although it was a cold winter wax moon, the gunners and upper gunners were bare-chested, revealing their strong muscles. They kept moving their arms, because they knew that when the battle began, they wouldn't have time to relax.

Wei Ba stood on the hillside, looking at the thunderbolts and ballistae lined up under the hillside, as if he had seen the artillery positions in the firearms age, and his heart was full of pride. Sima Yi, three days? It doesn't take me three days to break through Wancheng.

A herald ran up the hillside, ran in front of Wei Ba, knelt on one leg, and said loudly: "General Zhennan, General Hussar gave the order to start attacking!" ”

"Got it." Wei Ba responded and waved his hand: "Beat the drum and start attacking!" ”

The herald waved the bunting and gave the order.

Twenty drummers raised their thick arms and beat a man-high cowhide drum.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock! "The sound of majestic war drums echoed over the battlefield, and although the rhythm was soothing, it heralded the coming storm.

A loud shout came: "Thunderbolt Battalion, prepare—"

"Camp B, prepare—"

“……”

All the gunners crouched slightly, their wooden hammers raised high, gritted their teeth, stared at the locks, pricked up their ears, and waited for the order to attack.

When the news of the completion of the preparations of the battalions reached the Chinese army, Wei Ba raised his hand and pointed forward gently. In an instant, the originally low and gentle sound of war drums changed, and all the drummers waved their arms with all their might, beating the war drums like a torrential rain, and the drums were like a frenzy, like a huge wave, surging towards Wancheng.

More than a thousand thunderbolts began to roar.

"Boom!" The wooden hammer in the operator's hand made an arc and struck hard against the latch. The lock was loosened, the heavy weight box sank, and the thick wooden tips suddenly spun around, dragging the long basket into the sky. The stone bullets in the net basket roared away, piercing the sky and rushing towards Wancheng.

"Whoosh!" The sound of breaking the air is endless.

Hundreds of stone projectiles converged in the air into an arrow-shaped black shadow and flew towards the enemy tower in the southwest corner of Wancheng.

The Wei soldiers on the enemy tower were stunned when they looked at the stone bullets that flew quickly.

"Boom!" A stone bullet struck the wall of the enemy tower, and the wall made a loud noise, shook violently, and dust fell.

"Boom!" A stone bullet grazed the eaves of the enemy building, and half of the roof flew into the sky.

"Boom!" A stone bullet struck a pillar, and with a crunch, the pillar snapped and the roof tiles crackled and fell.

"Boom, boom!" Countless stone projectiles flew towards the enemy tower, bombarding the city walls, battlements, roofs, and wooden pillars of the enemy tower one after another.

In a moment, hundreds of stone bullets smashed on the enemy tower, under the terrified gaze of the Wei army, the enemy tower was trembling, groaning, shaking, collapsing, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was beaten into a pile of ruins by the continuous stone bullets, and countless wood and tiles were splashed up and flew down the city wall. The Wei soldiers hiding in the enemy tower were panicked, some cried out from the rubble, some rushed out from inside, ran wildly along the city wall, and then were hit by the speeding stone bullets and fell off the city wall.

Blood splattered in the air, screams echoed in the air, and in a moment, Wancheng became a hell on earth...... (To be continued......)
