Xu Huang used a trick to trick the defenders out of the pass, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to enter the pass, but Wei Yan and Fu Wei fought to the death and fell short.

After suffering a loss, Wei Yan couldn't hold out, so he had no choice but to attack, but Wuguan was tall and strong, and it was limited by the terrain, so it had little effect and was depressed.

In the past few days, the snow has fallen heavily, and the sky is overcast, and there is no sign of a clear day, and the soldiers are shivering in the tent, and many of them have swollen hands and feet, and they are miserable.

Xu Huang retired early, let the soldiers rest, sent someone to report to Chang'an, and sent more wine and meat to reward the soldiers, so as to maintain morale.

In the dead of night, the northwest wind howled, blowing through the canyon like a beast roaring.

Suddenly, the drums in the direction of Wuguan were loud, and they were heard far away in the wind.

Cao Jun, who was hiding in the corner to avoid the wind, suddenly woke up and came to the gate of the camp to watch, and the soldiers in the camp were also awakened and stood up one after another.

Xu Huang sat up in the tent and shouted: "Wear and wait!" ”

The soldiers entered the tent and lit the lamp, hurriedly put on their armor, and carried the cold axe out of the tent, and the generals of each battalion were already waiting at the camp gate.

The torches were rattling, the snowflakes were still falling, and the cold wind blew through the valley, scraping on the face like a knife, cold to the bone.

Xu Huang was so cold that his nose hurt, and he stood in the wind for a long time, the drumming had long since disappeared, but there was no movement.

Xu Shangyan said: "Wei Yan has suffered a defeat, and he may not dare to come again, is it a bluff?" ”

Xu Huang stood for a moment, ordered Xu Shang and Lu Jian'er to take turns patrolling the camp, and ordered the two to be on guard.

When he returned to the tent, he did not dare to sleep again, and lay on his side and pretended to sleep, when he was drowsy, suddenly hundreds of paces away there was a sound of drums, torches were bright, and the sound of killing was approaching.

Cao Jun was shocked, Xu Shang ordered the front camp to defend against the enemy, beat drums to warn, and waited for Xu Huang to brave the wind, but there was no movement, and the torches disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye, leaving only the cold wind.

Xu Shang was furious and ordered: "Wei Yan deceived people too much, the men and horses must not have gone far yet, and they will go to clean them up." ”

"No!" Xu Huang frowned, looked at the dark night sky, and said slowly: "The night is deep, and the enemy army is unknown, so you must not move." I expected his bluff, if it were not for the strategy of the tired soldiers, they would have come to rob the camp tonight, but they could set up more ambushes at the camp gate, and when the enemy army arrived, the defenders retreated into the camp and ambushed them in two ways. ”

"If Wei Yan dares to come again, he will definitely be told not to leave a piece of armor." Xu Shang clenched his fists and took orders, and transferred another 2,000 soldiers to ambush around the camp gate.

Xu Huang returned to the tent and sat for a while, no longer sleepy, and did not see any movement outside the camp, personally patrolling the camp, and saw that most of the soldiers were frozen, and there was the sound of cold air everywhere.

Nearly five o'clock, Cao Jun accumulated a thin layer of snow on his body, his hands and feet were numb, and he heard the sound of drums and horses' hooves, so he hurriedly got up, stumbling one by one, and the queue was chaotic.

Xu Shang was so anxious that he stomped his feet and roared angrily: "Array!" ”

Cao's army was busy for a while, but he never saw the enemy killed, and the night was like ink, and he didn't know what the situation outside the camp was.

The third time he didn't come to rob the camp, Xu Huang became more and more vigilant in the tent, the enemy attacked three times and twice, it must have made them relax their vigilance, and after a few temptations, they would launch a thunderous blow.

The cold wind howled all night, Cao Jun was on full alert, and when the east turned white, the heavy snow stopped at some point, the wind became tighter, the armor was frozen by ice and snow, and everyone was like ice sculptures, unable to move.

Except for the sound of the wind, there was no movement, and it was tossed for most of the night, and it was a false alarm.

Xu Shang looked depressed, and came to the tent to pray: "The soldiers have not stopped all night, their hands and feet are numb, and I am afraid that they will not be able to attack the city today." ”

It was freezing cold, and it was already very sinful to camp outside, and in and out several times in the coldest half of the night, everyone was depressed, and the morale of the camp was low.

Xu Huang held two black circles on his head and sighed: "This is Wei Yan's plan to exhaust his troops, he will come to steal the camp tonight, and order all the battalions to rest, and today Lu Jian will lead the rear army to attack the city, and he will kill Wei Yan tonight." ”

On this day, Cao's army came to attack the city again, but the offensive was obviously not as good as before, and Xu Huang was not seen to supervise the army.

Wei Yan inspected the circle and ordered the soldiers to patrol and defend step by step, but Pang Tong hid in the attic and drank, which was Liu Qi's special permission, and he was helpless.

When night fell, the night wind became tighter, and the atmosphere of Cao Camp became solemn, Xu Huang, Xu Shang and others were fully armed, and the men and horses were all hidden in the camp tents, and the lights were turned off and waiting for the enemy to come and rob the camp.

There was no movement that night, and Cao's army became more and more demoralized, and there was no rotation of men and horses the next day, so they had to suspend the siege and prepare to rest for a day before attacking.

Who knew that that night, there was another drum sound, and the fire outside the camp was approaching, or people were shouting and neighing, but they didn't come to rush the camp, and the Cao army was anxious and their morale became more and more low.

Xu Huang was also a little irritable, afraid that Wei Yan would come, but also afraid that he would not come!

is so false and real, maybe the next time it really kills, it will catch them off guard.

Before I knew it, another night had passed, the sky was bright, Cao Jun was on the verge of collapse, and Xu Shang and Lu Jian scolded Wei Yan for being despicable.

Xu Huang's expression was solemn, he always felt that the crisis was coming, and he couldn't sweat every night to ambush and be on guard, and in the long run, even if Wei Yan killed him during the day, he would not be able to fight the enemy.

Xu Shangyan said: "The soldiers are tired and the army has no fighting spirit, it is better to temporarily retreat to Shang County, rest for a few days and come again, prepare more weapons, food and grass, attack day and night, and do not give the defenders a chance to breathe, Wei Yan will have nothing to do." ”

Xu Huang was also at a loss at this time, and ordered the men and horses to temporarily retreat to Shang County, and wait for the grain and grass to be heavy, and then come to the army.

Seeing Cao Jun pulling out of the camp and leaving, Wei Yanxi couldn't help but come to Pang Tong immediately: "The military division is really clever, only three days, Cao Jun retreated without a fight." ”

Pang Tong poured a glass of wine: "In the past few days, the general has been guarding the city alone, and he has worked a lot, so he might as well eat and drink to relieve his fatigue." ”

"There is a military order in person, and he doesn't dare to drink!" Wei Yan hugged his fists and said: "Cao Jun has retreated, what should I do next?" ”

Pang Tong took a drink to himself, and said with a smile: "Cao Jun was disrupted by me, morale was low, Xu Huang had to temporarily retreat, three days later, General Wubao sat back and sat back in the pass, drinking for fun!" ”

Wei Yan was puzzled: "The military advisor said that he could build a three-zhang high wall in three days, is it really feasible?" ”

"General, please come with me!" Pang Tong laughed, took Wei Yan out of the door, pointed to the courtyard and said, "This is my masterpiece for a few days, how about it?" ”。

I saw that in an open space behind the building, I don't know when an ice wall was built with sand and gravel clods, which was enough to be one person high.

"This ......" Wei Yan couldn't believe that with Pang Tong's thinness, he could build a wall alone, and then he suddenly realized, slapped his forehead with his hand, and shouted: "Ice wall?!" ”

"Yes!" Pang Tong nodded and smiled: "Actually, the general has already used this method to pour water to close the door, but he has not been so bold." ”

Wei Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, nodded and said, "The military advisor has a wonderful idea, and the true god is also!" ”

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "This is the plan of the eldest prince!" ”

"The eldest prince really strategized and won thousands of miles away!"

Wei Yan was greatly impressed, said goodbye to Pang Tong, rushed to the barracks, and ordered the whole army to take tools out of the customs and build a wall at the mouth of the cliff overnight.
