When Sima Zhao and Wang Ping were fighting for control of the city gate at the West Gate, Sima Yi was not idle.

There was a fire near the granary and armory in the northwest corner of the city, and Sima Yi didn't have to think about it to know that this must still be the ghost of the "meticulous" army that infiltrated the city.

To be honest, Sima Yi was not worried about the actions of this group of "meticulous" troops.

These "meticulous" troops who infiltrated the city, based on the standards of meticulous work, are indeed too many, but based on the standards of the army, the number is too small.

They may be able to create a certain amount of chaos and contain some of their own troops, but as long as they prepare properly in advance, there is not much room for these "meticulous" troops to play.

In the direction of the granary and the armory, Sima Yi had already deployed thousands of people to garrison in advance, and at the same time formulated a series of investigation methods.

In this way, there were fifteen or six hundred people defending the granary and armory, and Sima Yi did not believe that the Shu thieves could lurk in the city enough to break through the defense of more than 1,000 people.

What really worried Sima Yi was that the fire near the granary in the northwest corner was just a ploy to attack the west, and the real plan of the Shu thieves was to attract the Wei army to gather and rescue in the northwest corner, resulting in the emptiness of the defenses of the various gates.

In other places, Sima Yi is not too worried, and what Sima Yi is most worried about is whether the Shu thieves outside the south gate will launch a strong attack on Wancheng during this time period.

Last time, there were more than 30 fires in the city, although it looked quite scary, but the actual damage was not large, and it only affected the morale of the army for a while, and it will soon be able to adjust back.

But this time, the fire in the area of the granary and armory in the northwest corner was not enough to calm the morale of the army in a few words.

The whole city defenders knew that the granary was in this location, and that there was a fire in this place, in case it burned down. Eating is a problem, who still has the heart to defend the city.

This was a much bigger blow to the morale of the army than the last time there was a fire in the city.

Therefore, Sima Yi must organize the reserves in his hands as soon as possible, and then rush to the south gate tower as soon as possible to calm the army's mind.

If he, the main general, is not in the city tower, the morale of the army will be turbulent again, and the Shu thieves outside the city will seize the opportunity to suddenly attack the consequences.

One thing to say, although Sima Yi's prediction this time is reasonable, it seems to be a little too worried.

In fact, outside the south gate at this time, inside the Han army camp, it was just beginning to gather troops.

Compared with the defenders in the city, the Han army outside the city is more numerous, and the camp stretches more extensively, and it is not so easy to gather the whole army in case of emergencies.

And Du Yo launched a riot and raid in the city, obviously it was impossible to notify the Han army outside the south gate in advance, so the Han army outside the south gate even found that the situation was a little later than Wang Ping.

There is no way, the fire is burning in the northwest corner of Wancheng, and the distance from the south gate is almost across the entire Wancheng, and the fire cannot reach a certain extent, and it cannot be observed outside the south gate at all.

In addition, it is early in the morning, the sky is not completely bright, and the black smoke from the fire is not real, and the possibility of a fire in the city can only be judged by the light in the northwest corner of Wancheng that is slightly brighter than the surroundings.

The soldiers on night duty in the Han army discovered this abnormality and reported to the captain on duty tonight, and the captain did not dare to slack off, and directly reported to his immediate superior.

Fortunately, the general in charge of the night patrol tonight is Deng Ai.

Deng Ai Denggao looked at it for a while, thought about it carefully, and felt that there was a great possibility of a fire in the city.

After all, Deng Ai had directly seen the Wudang Fei Army envoy, and he also knew that now two or three hundred Wudang Fei soldiers had infiltrated Wancheng, ready to wait for an opportunity to create turmoil and assist the main force in attacking the city.

Although Deng Ai didn't understand why these Wudang Flying Army chose to create an incident before it was fully dawn in the early morning, but. If according to Guan Yu's strategic deployment, at this time, the South Gate army should take the initiative to launch an attack on Wancheng, contain the main defensive force of the Wei army, and at the same time look for offensive flaws.

But. It's early in the morning, it's not completely dawn, and the soldiers are still sleeping.

Now go and call all your own soldiers to attack the city, not to mention the unreasonable question, what if your own soldiers bomb the camp first?!

It's not impossible.

Deng Aisi thought about it, but there was no way, so he could only ask Xu Junshi and Wang Tingshi with this question.

What?! Own father-in-law?!

According to his wife's description to himself, before going to bed last night, his father-in-law had a low-grade fever again, and his wife took care of it in the camp, so it was better not to disturb.

So, Deng Ai still decided to ask Xu Shu and Wang Ji what to do.

In fact, Deng Ai also has an idea, he can mobilize on a small scale, call up the 10,000 people under the command of his headquarters first, and launch an attack on Wancheng with the remaining siege equipment from yesterday.

In this way, it can not only create pressure on Wancheng, so that the defenders of Wancheng dare not take it lightly, but also delay time, so that the battalions and villages can gather soldiers under relatively stable conditions, so as not to cause the bombing of the camp.

Then you can come to your aid.

This is the countermeasure that Deng Ai came up with in a short period of time, although it is not brilliant, but it is safe enough. Unfortunately, he couldn't act immediately.

It's a military camp, and what is important is an order to prohibit it.

Although Deng Ai had an idea, he also needed to get Wang Ji's permission before he could send troops When Guan Yu was unable to make a decision due to illness, Wang Ji, as the second-highest ranking general in the army, naturally had to take over the right to make decisions.

And Wang Ji was not ambiguous, after listening to Deng Ai's report, he also felt that Deng Ai's judgment and response were not a big problem, even if there was a problem, it would not be a big deal to let Deng Ai lead 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to test it a little.

After all, it's Deng Ai, who is smart, and he is a teacher of Zhang Yuanchang. Even if there is really something wrong, it will not be easy to make this kid suffer.

Wang Ji immediately gave the general order to let Deng Ai attack with his whole army and attack Wancheng.

After sending Deng Ai away, Wang Ji immediately ordered the whole army to assemble and prepare, and at the same time notified Guan Ping, Kou Feng, and Liao Hua to prepare the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as soon as possible, and be ready to go out of the camp to fight at any time to rescue Deng Ai's department.

It can be said that there was no problem with Deng Ai's request and response, and Wang Ji did not make any mistakes of hesitation and entanglement, and immediately ordered the whole army to concentrate on preparation, but the problem is that the Han army still has 70,000 people.

70,000 people, what kind of concept is the camp stretching out for four or five miles.

Not to mention the centralized preparation of the whole army, that is, after Deng Ai returned to the camp, he woke up all the soldiers in his headquarters, then distributed ordnance, prepared siege equipment, and finally went out of the camp to fight, which took a quarter and a half of an hour.

At this time, Wang Pingdu had been slashing with Sima Zhao at the West Gate for a while.

It's a pity that Deng Ai didn't know the specific battle situation of Ximen, he still led his own troops and horses to Wancheng City according to his own leading rhythm, and took the initiative to attack Wancheng.

Then, Deng Ai found that something seemed to be wrong.

Why didn't you see Sima Yi's banner?!

Today's sky is slowly getting brighter, the visibility is getting higher and higher, and the flags on the city tower can gradually be seen clearly, there is no Sima Yi's flag?!

What's going on?!

With Sima Yi's strategic IQ, it is impossible not to guess that his side will take the initiative to attack the city, right?!

Or is there some trap waiting for Sima Yi?!

For this reason, Deng Ai kept an eye on it, and did not attack directly as soon as he came up, but sent a team of 3,000 people to carry out a tentative attack on the city.

Well. How do you feel, it seems to be easier to fight than before?!

Although the attack of 3,000 people was finally repulsed and did not climb the tower, it was originally a tentative attack, and Deng Ai did not want the soldiers to fight hard, so most of the soldiers withdrew safely.

Even the casualties were less than two hundred.

This number of casualties made Deng Ai even more suspicious that Sima Yi really had some conspiracy, why did the Wei army defending the city suddenly become so easy to fight?!

One thing to say, Deng Ai was still affected by his unlucky master, and at this time, he actually began to suffer from gains and losses.

However, Deng Ai is not his cheap master in the end, Deng Ai's adventurous spirit in his bones has only been suppressed by the master's perennial teachings, which does not mean that it has disappeared.

In the current situation, no matter what conspiracy you Sima Yi has, Deng Ai feels that he can't retreat.

Originally, he was here to carry out the vanguard attack, not to mention that he had to make any achievements, but he couldn't retreat after a tentative attack.

Just, attack.

Even if you Sima Yi really have any conspiracy, Deng Ai is not without backup to take over the troops.

Besides, if you Sima Yi are playing some kind of bluffing scheme, then if I fall for the scheme, wouldn't it be a big shame to be embarrassed?!

Therefore, in the second attack, Deng Ai chose to attack, and in the process of this strong attack, the Han army climbed the tower of Wancheng in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is not a great thing, in the previous month's attack, the Han army did not climb the wall of Wancheng, and even occupied part of the city wall for a time, but in the end it was driven down by Sima Yi by adjusting the command.

As for why he didn't go down and open the city gate immediately after occupying part of the city wall, and welcome the large army into the city, it was not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.

Different from the west gate of Wancheng, the south gate of Wancheng here, Sima Yi specially built the urn city.

The south gate has two gates.

It is pointless to open the gates of the urn city, and without occupying the city walls of the urn city, the army outside the city enters the urn city, which is nothing more than a mobile target for the Wei army.

There will be nothing to gain except heavy casualties.

Therefore, what Deng Ai has to do now is to find a way to attack the city wall, establish a landing point as soon as possible, take his own soldiers to fight on the city wall, and first compete with the Wei army for control of the city wall of the urn city.

The soldiers were able to attack the city wall in one battle, Deng Ai was not surprised, what made Deng Ai really surprised was . After climbing the city wall, his soldiers easily established a landing point, and began to spread the landing range to the left and right flanks.

Isn't this right, the Wei army defending the city actually did not make any adjustments to its forces, and allowed itself to expand the landing area?!

This can't be a conspiracy. How can there be a conspiracy to voluntarily give up control of Urn City?!

Sima Yi, this old fox, what the hell is he doing?!
