Sima Ting led the army to retreat down the mountain, and came to the big tent of the Chinese army in Zhou, and saw that all the generals were in the tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Sima Ting shouted: "General Zhou, that Qi Wannian is really not a fucking thing, his own son is shot with his own hands without blinking an eye." ”

Zhou Chu smiled and said: "In Qi Wannian's eyes, what is flesh and blood affection?" ”

Sima Ting shook his head and said, "However, Qi Wannian ordered to shoot women and children, and the Diqiang army must be in a big mood now!" That's a good thing for us! ”

Zhou Chu nodded and said, "Generals, tell me how to fight this Zhongting City, right?" ”

Xiao Zhengteng, the chief general of the Yongzhou Army, first stood up and said: "General Zhou, Zhongting City is built on Zhongting Mountain, and the west and south sides are unattainable, but the east and north sides are relatively flat. Now there are only about 20,000 horses in Zhongting City, and our army has more than 100,000 troops. The last general suggested that our army could be divided into four divisions, rotated every two hours, and attack the city day and night, and we would definitely be able to break the middle pavilion! ”

Zhou Chu listened and nodded, Xiao Zhengteng took over as the chief general of the Yongzhou Army after the death of the dissolution system, and this remark is also the first to say, compared to the original dissolution, but it is much stronger.

After hearing this, Sima Ting disagreed, and said: "What General Xiao said is not unreasonable, but now Qi Wannian has become a trapped beast, and our army is too hasty, I am afraid that it will backfire." Although Qi Wannian gave up Wugong City, he brought the defenders of Wugong City and the ordnance, bows, arrows and food that could be taken away into Zhongting City. If we attack, let alone whether we can take it or not, we will surely suffer heavy casualties. Now the defenders in the city have moved, we might as well surround but not fight, after a few months, the grain and grass in Zhongting City will run out, and the Diqiang army will be self-defeating. ”

"No!" Xiao Zhengteng immediately said: "Although what the cavalry general said is also a good plan, but now there is a big drought in Guanzhong, there is a shortage of grain and grass, and our hundreds of thousands of troops are surrounded here, and the grain and grass consumed every day are unimaginably large." And if there is enough grain and grass in Zhongting City, and we can keep it for a year or two, will we surround it here for a year or two? We can afford to drag it out, but the people in Guanzhong can't afford it. ”

Xiao Zhengteng is a person from Guanzhong, so he naturally hopes to end the war as soon as possible and free up more food to help the people of Guanzhong.

Sima Ting sighed and said: "General Xiao is for the country and the people, and his heart can be expressed!" It's just that Zhongting City is so dangerous, and the large siege equipment can't be pushed up, and if it is attacked, our army is only afraid that if it wants to break Zhongting City, it will need to pay twice the price of the Diqiang army. Although the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if we can hold the life of one more soldier, it is one more merit. ”

Xiao Zhengteng's face changed several times, but he thought about it and arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to lead the Yongzhou army to fight a dozen to see if Zhongting City is really unbreakable!" ”

Sima Ting shook his head, knowing that Xiao Zhengteng would not give up if he didn't try, so he said: "General Xiao, I will make a bet with you: as long as someone can rush to the city before sunset of the Yongzhou army, I will be willing to bring the Xiao cavalry army to accompany General Xiao to play with him." But if not, please don't mention it again General Xiao, let's think about it in the long run. ”

Xiao Zhengteng gritted his teeth and said: "A word is a certainty!" ”

"It's a deal!"

Xiao Zhengteng also nodded when he saw Zhou Chu, and immediately walked out of the big tent, gathered the Yongzhou army in front of the camp, and went to Zhongting Mountain.

Xiao Zhengteng gave an order, the war drums sounded excitedly, and countless Yongzhou troops rushed to Zhongting City with shouts and killing.

Sima Ting and other generals gathered together and watched the Yongzhou army attack the city.

Wei Qi asked, "Sima Ting, are you so sure that the Yongzhou army can't rush to the top of the city?" ”

Sima Ting shook his head and said, "It's even more difficult!" Although Qi Wannian only has 20,000 people, which of the people who can survive is not the elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, and the Yongzhou army has no siege equipment, so it simply rushes up with flesh and blood. ”

Wei Qi nodded, and suddenly asked Sima Ting: "Sima Ting, in the past few months, I feel that there has been a breakthrough in martial arts, let's find a chance to learn again?" ”

Sima Ting nodded expressionlessly, and he should be done. But he was secretly laughing in his heart, if he can use the "Great Shura Magic Codex" with all his might, I don't know how many rounds you Wei Qi can take over?

Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Zhengteng had no choice but to withdraw his troops. The resistance of the Diqiang army far exceeded their expectations, and not a single soldier of the Yongzhou army was able to climb to the top of the city, and more than a thousand corpses were left under the city! The battle situation is worse than the beginning of Pingcheng, and the tragedy is even worse!

Sima Ting was stubborn and stubborn, and took Liu You and others to stroll through the barracks, watching the daily drills of the Jin army.

They have besieged Zhongting City for three months, but Zhongting City still shows no sign of running out of food. Sima Ting couldn't help but think that if the food in Zhongting City was really eaten for several years, then his army of hundreds of thousands of people would not really be dragged down by Qi Wannian.

Liu You tightened the robe on his body and said bitterly: "My lord, it has been around for three months, and it is already winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it will be the New Year again in more than two months." ”

Sima Ting sighed in his heart, yes. It's going to be the New Year soon, and it's not a way to just consume it like this. It seems that it is necessary to go into the city and have a look.

Sima Ting suddenly stopped and thought: If he can burn all the grain in Zhongting City, how long can Qi Wannian last? Thinking of this, Sima Ting suddenly quickened his pace and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army around him.

When I entered the tent of Zhou, I saw that Zhouzhi was reading a book with a leisurely expression.

Seeing Sima Ting coming, Zhou put down the book and said with a smile: "Your Highness is down?" ”

Sima Ting stepped forward and said, "Hello Lord Zhou!" "There are no outsiders, and the two are no longer commensurate with their military positions.

Zhou invited Sima Ting to sit down and said, "What does Your Highness want to learn today?" ”

It turned out that the army had besieged the city for three months, but Sima Ting was not idle, and he followed the surroundings to learn the art of war, and he had already achieved a little success. Sima Ting arched his hand and said, "Lord Zhou, I don't want to learn anything today, but I want to talk to Lord Zhou about Zhongting City." ”

Zhou Chu put away his smile when he heard this, and asked, "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Sima Ting thought for a while and said, "Lord Zhou, we have been besieging the city for three months, but Zhongting City seems to have extremely sufficient grain and grass, and there is no sign of running out of food at all. I'm here today to discuss with Lord Zhou and see if I can go into the city to inspect the situation in the city. If possible, I hope to burn the grain and grass in Zhongting City! ”

Zhou was silent for a while, flipped out a drawing on the table, beckoned Sima Ting to step forward and said, "Your Highness, this is the topographical map of Zhongting City." Look. ”

Sima Ting looked at it carefully and said, "Lord Zhou, look at this topographic map, the granary of Zhongting City is in the southwest. ”

Zhou nodded and said, "Yes." If Your Highness wants to go into the city to inspect it, then go with Wei Qi. The two of you have successfully cooperated many times, and both of you are congenital masters, in case you are discovered, it is also convenient to escape, and if there are too many people, it will drag you back. Well, let's take a storm tomorrow evening, and the two of you will disguise yourself as the Qiang army and sneak into the city. ”

Sima Ting nodded, and then lowered his head and discussed some details with Zhou Chu.
