Then Cao Pi returned to Liyang, and the Wei army was also operational.

Part of it was arranged to go down and collect grain.

Some of them are a little old and weak, and they go towards Ruyin.

And most of them, under the leadership of Cao Hong and Wu Zhen, stormed towards Pingyu City!

The current situation in the Wei army is indeed not optimistic.

However.

As long as you win Pingyu, everything will be fine!

No matter how much the heir of my prince Liu Gongzi in Hanzhong jumps, he is just a grasshopper after the autumn.

Runan!

It should be Wei's, that's Wei's.

You kid can't take it away.

Of course

The premise of this is that the Wei army must be able to capture Pingyu.

It was early in the morning.

As soon as the sky was bright, the sound of the Wei army's horn had already begun to blow.

Woo woo woo~

Accompanied by the sound of war drums.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Wei army, which was arrayed outside the city of Pingyu, moved.

The siege equipment on the side of the Wei soldier also moved.

The fierce war drums were deafening outside Pingyu City, and the Wei army's offensive was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the momentum was menacing.

Their formations were vast, their flags fluttering, their drums and trumpets sounding, and their weapons flashing with cold light.

The Han army at the head of the city, dressed in iron armor, armed with spears, bows and arrows, swords and guns, looked solemn.

Zhao Yun held his spear high and stood at the forefront of the city wall, awe-inspiring and fearless, his gaze was resolute and firm, like a banner, inspiring the morale of the soldiers.

It's close.

The cannon fodder of the Wei army in the front row began to wade through the pits and traps of Pingyu City.

The pit dug in advance is full of sharpened bamboo tubes, and once you step on the air and fall into the deep pit a little deep, there is no second possibility except for the ending of being pierced through the heart.

But no matter how many traps there are, as long as Wei Jun is willing to fill them with human lives, it will be fine.

Now the Wei army has the most, and it is people.

Ignoring the pitfalls and traps outside Pingyu City, the Wei army stepped forward and charged.

Minfu Xiangyong carried sandbags on his back, rushed forward, and dumped the sand in the sandbags into the moat.

The crossbowmen at the head of the city released arrows like raindrops, and the arrows crossed arcs in the air and landed in the Wei army's formation.

It became a living target for the crossbowmen at the head of the city.

Turned into an animal that fed arrows.

The whizzing arrows were like locusts, and the sound was really asking for life.

All of a sudden, many people were shot by arrows, blood splattered, moaned a few times, and after falling, they never got up.

Their corpses fell in the moat and poured into alternative sand, which accelerated to fill the moat.

In other cases, it will take a long time to storm the city, not to mention filling the moat, but to test the traps outside the city.

It's not uncommon to spend days.

However, under the attack of the Wei army regardless of casualties, the moat was filled in one day.

After filling it in, the Wei army did not rest at all, and attacked Pingyu City that night.

Arrows fly.

The sky is full of golden juice.

Catapults smashed boulders on the city, and ladder trucks put ladders on the city one after another.

Even the scorching temperature of the oil can't stop the Wei army's determination to attack the city!

When the Wei army rushed to the city wall, the Han army engaged in hand-to-hand combat with it.

The clashing of swords, guns, swords, and halberds shook the sky, blood splattered, and the shouts, screams, and roars of soldiers were mixed together.

"Runan is the Runan of my Runan!"

"Wei Dog is dead!"

"Ahh~"

In the shadow of the sword, some soldiers struggled to wield their weapons, some were knocked to the ground, and some were seriously injured, but they still fought desperately.

Under the city, there was a scorching scene.

Zhao Yun confronted the Wei army that rushed up to the city wall.

His spear was like lightning, dancing with countless lines of silver light, piercing the enemy's vital point.

And the generals of the Wei army were not to be outdone, their weapons swished, and they stabbed at Zhao Yun quickly.

On the city walls, the soldiers of the Han army worked together and did their best to resist the onslaught of the Wei army.

Some Han soldiers pressed their hands against the city wall, preventing the enemy from pushing further; Some swung their swords vigorously to repel the enemy one by one; Others kept firing in a rain of arrows to try to weaken the Wei offensive.

However, the Wei army was numerous and morale was high, and the Han army on the city wall was gradually struggling.

For a time, the situation in the city became more and more critical.

The tide-like Wei Jun and the iron-like Zhao Yun both felt the pressure doubled.

Since this day, I don't know how many people have died under his spear, swinging, stabbing, sweeping

Too many times, too many to count.

Even my arms started to ache.

It's the pain of a torn muscle.

Hot blood, wet blood, had soaked into his robes under his armor.

He's a bloody man now.

Hold on to peace.

Hold on to peace!

It seems to have become his obsession, his instinct.

With the sound of shouting and killing, the dim night gradually faded into black clothes, and the sky gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly.

However, the offensive and defensive battles between the Wei and Han armies around Pingyu City intensified in one day and one night.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Take down Pingyu, the first to ascend will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the Marquis of Feng Che!"

The Wei army continued to pound the walls of Pingyu City like a tidal wave, their war drums reverberated through the air like thunder, and the shouts of the soldiers were deafening.

The Han soldiers on the city walls withstood the fierce onslaught of the Wei army, armed with spears and bows, and swore to defend the city to the death.

The fierce fighting between the two sides made the city drenched in blood.

The warriors of the Wei army charged into battle and desperately climbed the city walls, but the persistence of the Han guards kept them repulsed again and again.

The crossbowmen at the head of the city kept unleashing deadly arrows, shooting at the Wei troops who climbed the city walls, causing them to fall under the city, gold juice, fire oil, and rolling wood.

All kinds of city defense equipment, take turns.

The battle scene on the city wall was extremely fierce, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the fight to the death was made.

The iron armor of the soldiers made a dull sound under the impact of swords, guns and halberds, and the ground was already stained red with blood, forming a scene of a river of blood.

In this fierce battle, bloodthirsty crows and vultures hover in the sky.

Yayaa~

The terrible screams made people feel worried.

They were attracted by the wreckage and corpses of the battlefield, and from time to time they swooped down and snatched the corpses of the warriors.

This scene made the whole battlefield even more eerie.

Pingyu meat grinder, now, is worthy of this title.

On this day and night, at least thousands of people were completely laid to rest here.

And the number of casualties is still increasing.

The next day.

Outside the city of Pingyu, behind the Wei army's formation.

Wu Zhen's face was distorted at the moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of anxiety. His brow was deeply furrowed, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, his muscles were tense, and his expression was solemn and uneasy. His eyes flickered like beasts, constantly scanning the battlefield, trying to find the slightest opportunity to turn the tide.

Siege for a day and a night.

The number of casualties was shocking, but the city was still standing in front of him, and there was no sign of being breached.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't seem to feel pain, and his whole body was focused on the battlefield. His lips were chapped and he was constantly muttering to himself, trying to find flaws and countermeasures in the battle situation.

"How can I get down to Pingyu City quickly?"

The Art of War?

Or something else?

Wu Zhen's mood was extremely heavy, and he knew that if the Wei army could not capture Pingyu City, the consequences would be unimaginable. His mind raced as he tried to find a surprising plan to win, but time passed quickly before his eyes, making him feel extremely anxious.

"Wu Qian, Wu Zhen, aren't you the chief strategist of King Wei? How come there is no plan now? Rubbish! You're a piece of waste! ”

Wu Zhen kept cursing himself in his heart, in this situation, he should be able to provide better advice and a more sensible strategy.

However.

He racked his brains, and there was no good way.

Wu Zhen is full of contradictions in his heart, on the one hand, he is worried and anxious about the battle situation, and on the other hand, he doubts and blames himself for his own ability.

"Sir."

Cao Hong looked at Wu Zhen on his side who was about to collapse, and said: "It's better to let the soldiers retreat, today, I'm afraid I won't be able to capture Pingyu." ”

Even if there was a warlord with a sharp sword in his hand, he was guarding the back, but under the huge casualties, the morale of the Wei soldiers who were attacking the city in front of him fell to the bottom.

The Wei army's impact on Pingyu City was much worse than at the beginning.

If I continue to fight, I am afraid that there will be no result.

We should retreat, regroup, and take down the peace again.

Withdraw?

Wu Zhen shook his head heavily.

"Pingyu City has not been captured, and the besieging soldiers have not died, why should they retreat?"

Call~

Wu Zhen spewed turbid air from his nostrils, and he said: "Our army can't stand it, and Zhao Zilong of Changshan will definitely not be able to stand it either. ”

Cao Hong looked at Wu Zhen's somewhat crazy appearance, and comforted: "The siege of the city needs a method, at least it must be divided into several parts, and take turns to play, although this siege force is not a descendant, but it can't let them die like this, the rest of the soldiers in the army are not chilled when they hear it?" ”

"Humph!"

Wu Zhen snorted coldly and said: "There is not enough food and grass in the army, and if a few more people die, the grain and grass will be enough." ”

Hearing Wu Qian's words, Cao Hong's brows suddenly furrowed.

He looked at Wu Zhen's eyes, and he also became unkind.

"These soldiers who joined the army are all good men who come to beg for a bite to eat, but they are not sent to death."

After speaking, he directly crossed over to Wu Zhen and said to the herald beside him: "Mingjin! ”

Mingjin?

Wu Zhen immediately roared angrily: "Mingjin is not allowed to collect troops, this siege, the king is entrusted to me to be responsible, and you are just here to assist me." ”

Cao Hong glanced at Wu Zhen coldly and said, "The king wants you to attack the city, not to give away the lives of the soldiers." ”

After speaking, he pulled out the sword at his waist, stood in front of the herald, and said in a cold voice: "Obey or die?" ”

The herald was trembling, how dare he disobey his orders?

He immediately showed a wry smile and said, "My subordinates will go to herald Mingjin." ”

"Cao Zilian, you!"

Wu Zhi was so angry that those eyes were about to breathe fire.

"When it comes to leading troops to fight, you are not as good as me, even when you go to the king, I have something to say."

You are indeed a celebrity and confidant around the king.

But I, Cao Hong, is still a clansman!

Who's afraid of whom?

"That being the case, the matter of attacking Pingyu will be handed over to the general!"

Wu Zhen stared at Cao Hong with a cold face, and immediately waved his sleeves and left.

really said it to Sima Zhongda.

Judging from yesterday's siege progress, this Pingyu City may not be able to be defeated within five days.

Since he can't beat it, he won't carry this pot anymore.

You're amazing, aren't you?

Then you have to carry this black cauldron!

Watching Wu Zhi wave his sleeves angrily and leave, Cao Hong's face also showed disdain.

"It's just a flattery of kings and is reused, what can you do?"

When my Wei soldier's life is not valuable?

"Rectify the whole army, divide it into three divisions, and after three hours, take turns to attack the city, and within three days, attack Pingyu!"

Blindly attacking to the death, how can you capture the fortified city?

besiege

It needs a way!

However.

Two days later.

Cao Hong was also anxious.

"This Pingyu City is really a turtle shell, and it can't be attacked no matter what?"

Fire attack, earth attack!

Cao Hong used it all.

He even mobilized the villagers to go to the mound to pile up the soil, to flood the mound of soil and turn the city wall into a thoroughfare.

However, the Han army in the city was strictly defended and could not capture the city.

Even last night, Zhao Zilong of Changshan opened the city gate and led the elite cavalry to sweep the battlefield, directly defeating a Wei army.

The soil that had been piled up with great difficulty was also thrown aside.

The siege of the city has not been carried out for several days, and there have been heavy casualties in the past few days, even if it has been rested again, the morale of the besieging Wei army is still not high.

"Damn, pass down the military order, if you can't attack it today, I will personally lead the army to attack the city tomorrow!"

He didn't believe it, the little Pingyu could really stop the main force of the Wei army!

And on the other side.

In the city of Kuiyang.

The government in the city was temporarily requisitioned as the platform of the King of Wei.

In the lobby.

Cao Pi's complexion was like a black pot that had been used for several years, and it was really difficult to see the extreme.

His wife was robbed, and his face was not so scary.

"Are you saying that Ruyin is occupied by Zhuge Liang?"

Cao Xiu was responsible for leading the first army to Ruyin to rest, but when he arrived in Ruyin, he learned that Ruyin was already the city gate to change the king's banner.

Most of the troops he led were old and weak, so they naturally did not dare to attack the city, so they had to return to Liyang in a huff.

Along the way, he was still worried about whether Zhuge Kongming would chase after him, which really made him uneasy and frightened.

Fortunately, there was no danger on the last road, and everyone was brought back.

Of course

Maybe in the eyes of Cao Pi and Sima Yi, these old and weak might as well die.

After all, to live is to consume food and grass.

"That Ruyin is indeed occupied by Zhuge Kongming, but the last general sees that the city is not damaged, and there is no trace of siege outside the city, obviously either there is an internal response in the city, or Zhuge Liang sneaks up at night."

The murderous aura in Cao Pi's eyes was about to overflow.

"Ruyin is occupied by Zhuge Liang, what can I do about it?"

Sima Yi's face was also cloudy and uncertain at the moment.

The prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei and Zhuge Liang, were really scheming, but they were still ahead of him step by step.

The limelight directly covered him Sima Yi.

And

In contrast, it seems that he is very stupid.

"As Your Majesty said, there must be nothing in the city of New Rest that day, but unfortunately we have missed the best chance to win."

Sima Yi said as if sighing, but let Wu Zhi's face on his side alternate blue and red, but he couldn't refute it with a word.

When Zhuge Liang went to Ruyin, he would definitely take away many Han troops.

On that day, there may have been only a few thousand people.

"What's the use of talking about it now?"

Cao Pi clenched his fists.

"It's been three days, and Pingyu hasn't been beaten down yet, even if it's the grain for Runan, the grain and grass are only enough for ten days in the army."

In other words, within five days, if Pingyu cannot be captured, then the Wei army has to retreat to Nandun and Xiangxian, which is almost giving up half of Runan!

This is definitely something that Cao Pi can't accept.

"Does Zhongda have a plan?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said: "It is the safest way to retreat to Nandun and Xiang County, otherwise, you will have to break the cauldron and move the army to Xinxi, seeking a decisive battle with the Han army!" ”

The victory of the first battle is decided, and the Wei army can still be saved!

But.

It was Cao Pi, who also smiled bitterly.

The prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, is very cunning, and when he knows that the Wei army is short of food, he will take the initiative to fight with it?

Just defend the city.

I went to Xinxi before, and the city of Xinxi may be empty, but at this moment

Is there really no one in the city of New Rest?

It's numb.

Cao Pi is really numb now.

When he hadn't fought with Liu Chan before, he wanted to trample Liu Chan under his feet and ravage him, but after fighting with him.

He finally knew why Wei had so many generals and why he was defeated by him.

It's so tough.

How can this battle be fought?
