Cao Ren led an army of 30,000, but he was one step too late, and he didn't stop Ma Yunlu and others, but the current situation did not allow Cao Ren to continue to chase.

So, Cao Ren hurriedly returned to Xiangyang with Xiahoudun, and before he arrived in Xiangyang City, Xiahoudun had already woken up, his hands danced wildly, and he scolded Ma Yunlu endlessly, this kind of vicious woman is not worthy of being a maid for Lao Tzu, she should be cut with a thousand knives!

"General Xiahou, don't be angry, wait to take out the arrows, and it's not too late to take revenge." Cao Ren hurriedly comforted.

"Can you save my right eye?" Xiahoudun asked unwillingly tentatively, but no one answered him.

At this point, Xiahoudun was blind in both eyes, inferior to ordinary people, how to talk about revenge, depressed to death, but this time he did not be strong, so with an arrow in his eyes, he entered Xiangyang.

The eyes can't be saved, but fortunately, his life is worry-free, and Xiahoudun has become a completely blind man, no different from a wasted person. Because he couldn't see things, like a bird losing its wings and the pillars decaying, Xiahou was desperate in his heart, and his temper became more and more irritable, hitting when he stretched out his hand, and scolding when he opened his mouth, which made the servants complain endlessly.

Cao Ren had no choice but to send someone to send him back to Yecheng.

Whether it is Xiahoudun or Cao Ren, their judgment is problematic, Niu Jin, who stayed in Maicheng due to injury, is a tenacious guy, the army is besieging the city, but he resolutely refuses to surrender, lame commanded the army, and carried out a tenacious defense of the city.

It is conceivable that if Xiahoudun returned to the army in advance to save Maicheng, or Cao Ren went all the way to Maicheng, it was very likely that he would rescue the 30,000 troops besieging it.

Wang Baoyu saw that he had failed to attack Maicheng several times, and couldn't help but say angrily: "This brute bull is really hateful!" ”

"Baoyu doesn't have to worry, Niu Jin is already in the bag, and his person is extremely brave, and he can be accepted as a general." Mo Qianxun said.

"Looking at his current posture, can he surrender?" Wang Baoyu was incredulous.

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

"Okay, listen to the military advisor." Wang Baoyu arched his hand, and then the two of them let out a burst of laughter.

Mo Qianxun sent someone to transfer a band from Yiling, Diao Chan also followed, in the middle of the night, around the city to play a mournful homesick song, especially Diao Chan's Yin Feng Xiao, the tune of deep resentment, so that the soldiers in the city of Maicheng shed tears, rose a strong sense of homesickness.

"Strategist, I know your tricks, embattled!" Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

"Using the rhythm of music to kill his will is only one thing, there is not enough food and grass in Maicheng, and I will lure his army to escape." Mo Qianxun said.

After three nights of homesickness, on the fourth day, Mo Qianxun set up several cauldrons in front of the city gate, stewed with large pieces of fragrant beef, accompanied by the moving sound of bubbling, the aroma of beef was even more wanton.

Mo Qianxun was looking for those soldiers who had a sweet and sweet appetite, and they ate meat and drank wine in a big bowl before the battle.

The Cao soldiers in Maicheng looked out one after another, not to mention the meat, even the dry food was not enough every day, and the soldiers who ate meat around the steaming cauldron were full of oil, satisfied, regardless of the hot, kept stuffing their mouths, and drank a mouthful of hot broth from time to time.

Cao Bing's saliva was so hungry that Niu Jin was also mortal, and the sound of swallowing saliva was louder than anyone else's, but he knew that this was a trick to lure the enemy, and why the city wall could not be defended by no one, so he had to let the soldiers cover their mouths and noses and not smell it.

How can it be! Especially the soldiers' hearts that are ready to move can't be stopped, the army is besieging the city, the main general is injured, Xiahoudun is gone, and after listening to the homesickness song for several days, the army has long lost its fighting spirit.

At night, Mo Qianxun ordered to leave the pots with meat, and the army retreated back for five miles, and in the middle of the night, the Cao soldiers who defended the city finally opened the city gate after some deliberation, and quietly came to compete for cooked beef.

The soldiers who grabbed the meat quickly retreated to the city and stuffed it into their mouths, and the rest of the soldiers couldn't help but have the courage to go out and grab the meat to eat.

After several times like this, the soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that there were no ambushes, and there was no problem with eating the meat in their stomachs, and they felt more and more that Wang Baoyu's army was benevolent and righteous enough.

Everyone talked about it in private, and heard that Wang Baoyu is not bad-hearted, his hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he will definitely make a big difference in the future, and everyone echoed it, and then there was silence.

Later, I don't know who shouted to take refuge in the Ming Lord, and everyone immediately responded.

Chain reaction, other soldiers in the city saw this situation, and ran out of the city one after another, and by the time Niu Jin found out, the 30,000 army had already run 20,000.

Niu Jin had no choice but to block the door and slash several defecting soldiers, glaring at Niu Yan and saying angrily: "If someone has this heart again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Although it seems that the remaining 10,000 soldiers have been suppressed, everyone's dissatisfaction is growing day by day, and there is a way to eat, drink and live when they go out, and there is only a dead end left. You Niu Jin is righteous and angry, and you want to fight to the death, should we accompany you to martyrdom? It is clear that he does not regard the lives of the brothers in his eyes!

Wang Baoyu happily accepted these soldiers, all of them were rewarded, and his power immediately grew. Immediately, the army rushed over again without stopping, and once again surrounded the city of Mai.

Niu Jin was so worried that his mouth was foaming, and the size of the bubble was several times larger than that of ordinary people, just 10,000 soldiers and horses, how could he fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops outside, not to mention that these 10,000 people were also discouraged, had no combat effectiveness, and were waiting for the opportunity to escape.

In this case, Niu Jin had no other choice but to abandon the city and escape desperately.

After two days of careful investigation, Niu Jin finally found that the troops in the west were a little weak, led by a female general, who was very beautiful, a woman! Combat effectiveness may not be feasible.

When night came, Niu Jin secretly ordered to go down, purge the army, and prepare to rush out of Maicheng to seek refuge with the old lord Cao Ren.

This night, Wang Baoyu's garrison camp was unusually quiet, and at the third watch, Niu Jin rode on a horse, holding three steel forks, and carefully opened the city gate, and the army quietly came out.

After traveling for two miles, he didn't find anything, Niu Jin was secretly happy, and immediately commanded the army and rushed over shouting at Ma Yunlu's camp. As long as he can conflict with this layer of obstacle, he can reach Xiangyang along the way.

After Niu Jin led the crowd into the camp, he was immediately dumbfounded, there were no soldiers at all, he finally realized that he had been hit, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to speed up the march and immediately return to the city to hold on.

Maicheng is not from Niu Jin's family, how can he just say that he can leave, and he can go back if he wants?

At this time, only to hear the rumbling of drums, the surrounding fires lit up, with the shout of "capture Niu Jin alive", Wang Baoyu's army suddenly appeared, surrounded from all directions.
