Guo Huai was analyzed by Deng Ai like this, and suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"This Deng Ai is really thoughtful, and he has a good understanding of the situation, if Xiahou Xuan was deliberately put in by Jiang Wei, someone really needs to stand up and fight him, it is better if all the military power is taken away, and if there is a good one in Tianshui City, it will be terrible."

So Guo Huai said to Deng Ai: "Shizai, you can be regarded as having retained the military power now, and the official doesn't know what the talent of Xiahou Xuan's battle array is, but he is always worried that he is not Jiang Wei's opponent, and now only Shizai can prevent Xiahou Xuan from coming in chaos." ”

Deng Ai said: "Why did Lord Assassin Shi say this, the soldiers of Yongzhou all admired Lord Assassin Shi, if you don't obey his orders, your soldiers will definitely follow, and then he can command only the five thousand forest guards under his command, so he is not afraid of him messing around." ”

Guo Huai shook his head: "Xiahou Xuan was sent by His Majesty to Governor Yongliang, Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, naturally he will not send people to Yongliang indiscriminately, and it is naturally well thought out, thinking that Xiahou Xuan is definitely not a mediocre talent, besides, there is Her Royal Highness Princess Dongxiang in Tianshui City, there should be no big problems, Shizai, you still have to cooperate more with Xiahou Governor." ”

Deng Ai saw Guo Huai say this, and sighed in his heart: "Guo Tingshi is really a kind person, but it's a pity that a kind person is easy to be taken advantage of by villains, and he actually gave up his military power so easily, and I don't know why His Majesty will make such a layout, isn't this causing chaos in Yongzhou?" ”

Deng Ai only dared to slander a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to really say it, so he had to nod and say to Guo Huai:

"Don't worry, Lord Thorn Shi, the lower officials will definitely take a close look at that Xiahou Xuan and don't let him do anything out of the ordinary."

Deng Ai's analysis was correct, Xiahou Xuan, who had won all the way, was soon slapped in the face by the ruthless reality, and he soon found that since the moment he entered Tianshui City, he had been surrounded by the Shu Legion in Tianshui City.

Now if it weren't for the card of Jiang Mu in his hand, I am afraid that the Shu army would have begun to attack the city on a large scale.

Xiahou Xuan took Yu Linwei to inspect the entire Tianshui City's defenses, and looked at the layout of the Shu army through the arrow tower on the city wall, and sighed in his heart: "It's not a way to be besieged like this, we must break the deadlock and take the initiative to attack, especially the Shu army camp standing in the north of Tianshui City, which must be destroyed." ”

He carefully observed the camp of the Shu army and found that this camp was very poorly built, that is, a temporary fortress built of wood, which was extremely easy to break. And the garrison of the Shu army in this camp does not seem to be too much, he has observed it himself during the day, and he has also found Yu Linwei's sentinel to investigate, there should be only about 5,000 people.

As long as you arrange it properly and lead a large army to attack suddenly, you will definitely be able to achieve results.

As for the time of the attack, it is best to choose it at night, most of the Shu army fell asleep in the middle of the night, and a sudden attack at this time will definitely reap miraculous results.

Xiahou Xuan was familiar with the art of war and deeply understood that marching and fighting a war required surprise victory. There is a cloud in the art of war: "All those who fight, with the right match, with the odd victory." Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers. ”

He didn't plan to use Deng Ai's troops, because Deng Ai was a thorn, and it wouldn't take so many troops to attack the small walled fort, and Deng Ai might ruin his good deeds.

He also did not plan to discuss with Guo Huai and Cao Aya, the princess of Dongxiang, because he needed to demonstrate his superior military ability through a great victory, so that the Wei army in Tianshui City would be full of respect for him.

So he only quietly told a few of Yu Linwei's henchmen about the plan, asking them to prepare for a night attack on the Shu camp. At the same time, Yu Linwei was also strictly ordered not to leak the news to anyone in advance, otherwise military law would be involved.

That night, in the middle of the night, in the tent of the Wei army, many Wei soldiers were still asleep, but unexpectedly, Yu Linwei under the command of Xiahou Xuan suddenly walked into the Wei army camp of Guo Huai's department, and shouted loudly:

"Urgent gathering, urgent gathering!"

The Wei army was suddenly woken up, thinking that the Shu army was attacking the city, so they got up from their beds one after another, and then began to assemble in the camp and stand by. Emergency assembly at night was one of the subjects that the army often practiced, so it was not surprising that the Wei soldiers were not surprised.

Soon 20,000 troops were assembled, these 20,000 troops had infantry, archers, and sword and shield soldiers, and after the army was gathered, Xiahou Xuan ordered all troops to assemble towards the north gate.

The soldiers didn't know what to do at the north gate, but they had already received military orders, and now they were all under the direct command of the governor Xiahou Xuan, so they could only follow the queue to the north gate.

At first, they thought that Xiahou Xuan was going to conduct an emergency drill to rehearse the sneak attack of the Shu army.

Who would have thought that Xiahou Xuan would order the opening of the north gate, at this time, some soldiers began to feel strange, thinking that Xiahou Xuan's drill was too real, and he actually ordered the city gate to be opened, aren't they afraid that the Shu army will come in?

Immediately after that, Yu Linwei took the lead in marching out of the city, and then the officers began to order the soldiers to march out of the city. These soldiers are even more frightened, there are so many cavalry of the Shu army outside the city, and their own infantry go out of the city to practice, what if they encounter the cavalry of the Shu army?

However, the orders of the officers, the soldiers had to follow, and some of the soldiers began to panic, hoping that this exercise would end soon, and the field battle outside the city, the infantry was not the opponent of the cavalry of the Shu army.

But soon some people began to suspect that this was not an exercise at all, and a Wei soldier said:

"I don't think this posture is right, it seems that this is not the new Yongzhou Governor Xiahou Xuan is going to lead us to attack Shu Village at night."

Another Wei army said: "No, isn't this not the time before General Wen Yuan and General Xiahou Ba went to attack the Shu army at night?" That time, the four thousand elite cavalry were wiped out, didn't the governor of Xiahou know about this? Where is Shuzhai so easy to rob? ”

The soldiers began to chatter and talk to each other, and people inquired about each other in suspicious tones, and the noise gradually became louder and louder.

Night attacks need to be hidden, but the voice of the Wei army is getting louder and louder, Xiahou Xuan is very angry, feeling that this is Guo Huai's usual pampered soldiers, so that this group of soldiers is so unruly, and the elite of Yulinwei under his command can line up outside without saying a word.

So he shouted the order: "Don't make a noise, those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

But when he gave this order, he couldn't stop the noise below at all, but the voices of doubt were higher and higher.

The noisy sound soon woke up the soldiers of the Shu army patrolling the night, and the Shu army began to throw torches at the Wei army on the arrow tower of the walled fort, and the firelight soon illuminated the Wei army.

The soldiers of the Shu army on the arrow tower were frightened, and outside the walled fort, thousands of Wei troops were lined up in formation, making a posture of attacking the walled fort.

The soldiers of the Shu army hurriedly rang the gong of the warning, and the sound of "dangdangdang" was endless, and the Shu army shouted loudly on the arrow tower,

"The Wei army attacked at night, the Wei army attacked at night!"

Seeing that his side had been exposed, Xiahou Xuan immediately ordered:

"Gentlemen, lead the governor of Bendu to attack the Shu army camp together, tonight, our army must pull out this camp, let the world see the Tianwei of my Great Wei!"

Immediately, he pulled out his long sword, pointed directly at the Shu army camp, and shouted at the Wei army of 25,000 people:

"All the troops are attacking!"
