At the end of March, when Sima Yi surrounded Xiangping City, preparing to break through Xiangping City in one fell swoop and completely wipe out Gongsun Yuan's lair, there was a sudden lightning and thunder that night, and heavy rain poured in.

The torrential rain made it impossible for Sima Yi to attack the city, so he had to choose to set up camp and wait for the rain to clear before attacking.

The heavy rain continued to fall, making the official road leading from Xiangping to Youzhou muddy and difficult to walk, which greatly slowed down the process of Beiyan's reinforcements, although Beiyan wanted to rush back to Xiangping immediately for reinforcements, but was bitten by Hu Zun along the way, and he couldn't get away at all, and he could only travel ten miles a day.

However, although this rain blocked Beiyan, it also blocked Sima Yi, thus giving Gongsun Yuan a chance to breathe in Xiangping City.

Originally, Gongsun Yuan had planned to flood Sima Yi in the Liao River. Unexpectedly, the embankment of the Liao River did not come in handy, but the water under Xiangping City made Sima Yi unable to attack.

The continuous heavy rain actually fell for seven days and seven nights in one breath, causing the Liao River to swell and the water depth of the flat ground to nine feet. The Wei army's grain convoy could reach the city from Liaokou.

The Wei soldiers were very frightened and wanted to move the camp to the high ground to prevent the rising water from eroding the camp.

However, Sima Yi ordered the army: "If you dare to say that you will move the camp, behead!"

When the enemies in the city saw that the Wei army was surrounded by water, they let the people out of the city to cut wood and graze their cattle as before. The Wei generals demanded that those who leave the city be arrested, but Sima Yi did not allow it. As a result, more and more people went out of the city to cut firewood and graze cattle.

Sima Chenqi, who came with the army, didn't know what medicine was in Sima Yi's gourd, so he asked Sima Yi:

"When Captain Sima attacked Shangyong, eight armies set off at the same time, day and night, and it only took a few days to capture Shangyong and behead Meng Da. This time we came from afar, and it was only because of a rain that we were so relaxed, I don't understand the reason. ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly: "That time, Keri beheaded Meng Da because Meng Da had few soldiers and horses, but the grain and grass could last for a year. We have four times as many soldiers and horses as Mengda, but we can't support the grain and grass for even a month, so can we not fight quickly?"

Chen Qi nodded and said: "Now our army is far more than Gongsun Yuan of Xiangping in terms of strength and grain and grass, so does the Taiwei want to outwit Xiangping without bloodshed?" ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "Now that it has been raining heavily for several days, there is water everywhere outside Xiangping City, so that our army's encirclement network has not been completed, what I am worried about is that Gongsun Yuan has seized the loophole and escaped, and it will be difficult to escape into the white mountains and black waters." If you plunder their cattle and horses and attack the woodcutters, will you not force them to flee?"

Chen Jue had a feeling of sudden realization: "So the Taiwei deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, just to let them stay with peace of mind." The more they defend, the more unfavorable the situation is for them. ”

Sima Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Han Yu really knows my heart. There will always be an end to this rain, and the day the heavy rain stops is when Xiangping City is broken. ”

On the eighth day, the heavy rain finally stopped. The sky is clear, the blue sky is like a wash, and the sun is becoming extraordinarily bright.

Sima Yi immediately ordered the encirclement to be closed, completely besieged Xiangping City, and prepared siege equipment such as building cars, ladders, and rushing cars, and was about to launch a general attack on Xiangping City.

Humble reinforcements finally rushed back. Facing the Wei army, which was several times larger than himself outside Xiangping City, Bei Yan immediately ordered the army to launch an attack on the Wei army, wanting to attract the defenders in Xiangping City to attack by attacking Sima Yi, so as to achieve the effect of pincerizing the Wei army.

Bei Yan used all his methods, whether it was mobilizing the wizards to cast a spell on the Wei army, or applying blessings to his own soldiers, Bei Yan used all the methods that could be used.

But the Wei army was too many, and Beiyan launched several charges, but they were never able to break through Sima Yi's military formation, and even worse, Hu Zun's cavalry also arrived, and to some extent, Beiyan's troops were also surrounded by the Wei army.

And the most desperate thing for Bei Yan is that the killing outside the city has been shocking, but Gongsun Yuan in the city has never gone out of the city to fight with the Wei army, which makes Bei Yan feel extremely depressed, he bears the fate of the Wu clan, and chooses to take refuge in Gongsun Yuan, which is to bind the fate of the Wu clan and the Gongsun lineage together.

Since he took refuge in Gongsun Yuan, he has always wholeheartedly assisted Gongsun Yuan, although Gongsun Yuan repeatedly jumped sideways in front of the two behemoths of Wei and Wu, and always did things so unreliable, but Beiyan never gave up Gongsun Yuan.

Unexpectedly, he was now given up by Gongsun Yuan, who almost sat back and watched more than 20,000 soldiers under his command being surrounded by the Wei army.

Bei Yan suddenly fell into deep despair, and he said to his lieutenant Yang Zuo with grief and indignation:

"King Yan wants to sit back and watch us fend for ourselves, but as King Yan's courtiers, I can't help but rescue King Yan! It seems that only that trick can be used. ”

When Yang Zuo heard this, he was immediately shocked, "Great wizard, you ...... Which trick do you mean? ”

Beiyan nodded helplessly.

"Yes...... But if you use that trick, you will surely die. ”

Bei Yan said with a smile: "King Yan can't die, my wizard clan can't be destroyed, if you sacrifice me, you can exchange for King Yan's victory, and if you can repel the Wei army, I will die without regrets!" ”

Yang Zuo hurriedly stopped: "Great wizard, we haven't reached that point yet, we still have the strength to fight, let's concentrate our forces and charge again." ”

Bei Yan shook his head: "It's useless, our troops are far inferior to the Wei army, unless we use that move." ”

In the wizard's system, it is divided into two branches, one is the curse series, and the other is the Zhuyou series. Ordinary wizards can often only practice one of the branches, and only a very small number of geniuses can practice both lines.

And the highest level of the wizard system's cultivation is a secret technique that cannot tell whether it is a curse or a blessing, which is the 'Dance of Death'. This sorcery requires mastery of both curse and blessing sorcery, and after this sorcery is cast, the person who is blessed by the sorcery will become invincible in a short period of time with a stick of incense.

In a short period of time, the potential of the body is stimulated, so that the blessed person can double the hearing, vision, strength, agility, and reflexes, and can feel no pain in a short period of time, unless the head is cut off or the heart is pierced, it is almost invincible.

And the backlash effect of this witchcraft is extremely severe, and the caster often has to pay with his life.

Therefore, Yang Zuo did not want to see Bei Yan use this trick, but Bei Yan was obviously unwilling to listen to Yang Zuo's opinion, only to see Bei Yan take off his armor, put on a wizard's costume, put on a wizard's mask, and hold the wizard's staff in his hand, and began to dance like a madman, chanting incantations in his mouth.

His voice became more and more dense, his dance steps became more and more frenzied, and gradually, his body seemed to begin to swell, and faintly, a bright red humble figure began to grow larger, and a huge bright red figure began to appear in the center of the battlefield. Some have noticed the change in the battlefield and seen this vision.

Four zhang, five zhang, the body is getting taller and bigger, this red figure has been as tall as a giant tower, on the battlefield, everyone is clearly visible, the red light is reflected on the earth, the huge body is still getting taller and bigger, like a giant descending.
