Chapter 873 The Battle of Xiangyang

"Liang knows Cao Cao's intentions. Now we can follow the plan."

When Pan Feng and Zhang Fei heard the words, their expressions changed, they were both startled and suspicious, and asked Zhuge Liang quickly.

"What did the military master say? Could it be that Cao Cao is cheating?"

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, nodded slightly and said.

"Most of the antlers in the southeast corner were destroyed due to previous wars, and the bricks and soil were old. Earlier, some soldiers told Yu Liang that he urged Liang to speed up repairs before Cao Cao's soldiers arrived. Liang deliberately refused to allow it. They will take advantage of the emptiness and attack. Cao Cao has been searching for many days, and he must have found that place. But Cao Cao falsely went to the northwest to accumulate grass. Attack from the southeast corner!!"

Pan Feng heard that the eyes of the phoenix flashed again and again, and quickly asked again.

"It turns out that the military division has a plan. But what can I do!?"

Zhuge Liang smiled again, exuding a forceful aura all over his body, as if everything in the world was within his calculations.

"It's easy. In the coming day, you can gather all the strong soldiers in the city, have enough food and light clothes, and hide them in the houses in the southeast. Then teach the people in the city to pretend to be soldiers and guard the northwest. At night, let Cao's army attack the southeast corner and enter the city. Wait for them to kill When approaching the city, most of the troops in his army were exhausted, and immediately a cannon rang out, and the ambushes rose together, and the other army would definitely be in chaos, and Cao Cao could be captured!"

Pan Feng and Zhang Fei were overjoyed when they heard the plan, and they all lamented that Zhuge Liang's plan was like a god, so they made their own arrangements that night.Pan Feng led Zhuge Liang's military order and ordered all the soldiers and horses to hide in the houses in the southeast, while Zhang Fei ordered the people in the city to pretend to be soldiers and guard the northwest corner.

The arrangement was finalized, and the next day, Cao Cao, who came to report on the horse, said that Zhuge Liang was afraid that the army would attack together, so he withdrew his troops at the northwest corner and shouted to defend the city, but the southeast was very empty.Hearing this, Cao Cao exchanged a glance with Guo Jia and said with a smile.

"Haha, Zhuge Kongming has caught the trick!"

Cao Cao was secretly delighted, so he ordered all the soldiers and horses to attack in unison to the northwest corner, but he secretly ordered a false attack, and he did not need to be tough to attack.All the troops listened to the order and only set up an offensive in the northwest corner.

Gradually at the second watch, when Cao Cao saw that the time was ripe and was about to lead the police to kill at the southeast corner, Guo Jia rushed to report.

"Wait a minute, my lord!!"

Just as Cao Cao was about to give an order, when he saw Guo Jia rushing over, he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

"Guzhengyu sent his troops to the southeast corner, broke through Xiangyang, and captured Zhuge Kongming. Why did Fengxiao stop Gu?"

There was a lot of anxiety in Guo Jia's eyes, and he bowed and said.

"Jia Jin saw the soldiers guarding the city and saw our army approaching. They were panicked and at a loss. What's more, there were many soldiers with messy armor and uneven formation. It is rumored that Zhuge Liang trained his troops well. The soldiers and horses trained are all elite soldiers who strictly abide by discipline. Jia carefully observed for a long time, and the guards in this city are likely to be disguised by ordinary people!!!”

"What happened!!?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and stared suddenly, feeling a coldness in his heart.Then he quickly asked Guo Jia.

"According to Feng Xiao, where are the soldiers and horses in the city?"

Guo Jia's brain was spinning, his eyes were shining brightly, after a while, he had already figured out Zhuge Liang's strategy, and he was eager to talk to Cao Cao.

"According to Jia's opinion. Zhuge Kongming may have discovered Jia's bluffing tactics. Most of them used tricks and hid soldiers and horses in the southeast corner, just waiting for our army to attack the southeast corner of the female wall. Once our army enters the city, all the ambushes will come out." , our army is beyond our expectations, and will definitely be defeated!!!”

Cao Cao heard the words and hurriedly drove his horse to explore the city.Sure enough, as Guo Jia said, there were many soldiers defending the city, and their armor was uneven and their formation was chaotic.Cao Cao immediately asked someone to fetch a bow. Cao Cao looked at a general in the city, picked up the bow and shot an arrow, and the arrow was sent out.As soon as the arrow flew up, the general in the city saw an arrow coming, but before the arrow approached, he screamed in fright and ran away, very embarrassed.Cao Cao watched with eager eyes, his face was gloomy, and he turned to Guo Jia and said.

"It seems that as Feng Xiao expected, most of the soldiers and horses in this city are disguised by ordinary people. If Feng Xiao hadn't reminded him, Gu would suffer a disastrous defeat! So what should Gu do now?"

Guo Jia was hailed as a ghost, and his intelligence was so profound that it was not for nothing.Guo Jia thought for a while, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a wild and unrestrained smile.

"Zhuge Liang said that he is extraordinary. If he wants to use his strategy, he will use it to ambush our army. Why don't you use your strategy and take advantage of Zhuge Liang's retreat to the southeast corner to attack the west gate. However, in order to gain the opportunity, your king can immediately send a police force first." , and carefully prepared shovels and gongs to climb the city, climbed up the city, and lured all the ambush troops in the city to come out. When the fighting sounded in the southeast corner, our army immediately launched a fierce attack.

The west gate is guarded by common people. If we see our army attacking suddenly, they must retreat. The west gate can be broken by an attack! "

When Cao Cao heard the words, he showed an extremely bright smile and said.

"Haha!! Feng Xiao's plan is very good!!"

Cao Cao then followed Guo Jia's order to shill the army to retreat a few miles away, and then sent a police force of thousands of people to the southeast corner.

Two hours later, the night became even darker.The general who led the team of elite soldiers was named Chen Heng, who was born as a tiger guard. Because he used himself to resist arrows for Cao Cao, Cao Cao reused him and named him Yamen General.Chen Heng led the deployment to the southeast corner, his eyes sparkled brilliantly, and he recalled the conversation between Cao Cao and him just now.

"Chen Heng, you used to be Gu's personal guard. In the battle of Hebei in the past, you used yourself as an orphan to block an arrow. Gu has never forgotten this kindness. You are extremely capable and have made great achievements. You are worthy of promotion. You are a captain, but you come from a humble background, if you are promoted too quickly, you will be envied by many people.

Right now, Guzheng has an opportunity for you to seize. Tonight, Gu's attack on Ximen is a vain force.In fact, they want to attack the east corner.However, Zhuge Kongming was resourceful, so he had to be cautious.Therefore, Yu first sent a team of elite soldiers as a pioneer to investigate first.I don't know if you are willing to take the order? "

"Your Majesty is very kind, Chen Hengwan will not hesitate to die!!"

"Okay! If the East Gate is empty, you will order people to beat the drums. Gu will lead the army to attack! After the matter is completed, Gu will live up to you!"

Chen Heng was in deep thought for a while, as if he had already seen the time when he would rise to the top.Chen Heng gave up his heart, left hundreds of soldiers under the city, and quickly ordered the rest of the soldiers to follow him to climb across the trench on the southeast corner, and cut off the antlers.

The Jingzhou soldiers and horses buried in the houses in the southeast of the city became tense when they saw the heads of the city leaders shaking.

At the same time, half an hour ago, Zhuge Liang saw that the night was getting darker and darker, thinking that Cao Cao was about to move soon, so he rushed to Ximen to visit the city.

Zhuge Liang squinted his bright eyes and looked away, although he couldn't see the distant scene clearly.But in his ears, he could vaguely hear the sounds of horseshoes scrambling and armored weapons turbulent.

Zhuge Liang's complexion changed, and he called the people pretending to be guards to ask if Cao Jun had any special measures just now.The people told that two hours ago, Cao Cao rushed to the city and shot arrows himself, almost killing him.The commoner spoke very truthfully, and the lingering fear on his face was still lingering.Zhuge Liang's complexion changed drastically, he hurriedly taught the left and right soldiers, hurried to the southeast of the city, and told Pan Feng and Zhang Fei to call in troops to help immediately!

The two generals heard that Zhuge Liang had a rare look of panic on his face, they all knew that the matter was urgent, so they immediately went down to the city and rode their horses to the southeast.At the same time, Zhuge Liang asked the people in the city to prepare arrows and roll wood and stones immediately to prevent Cao Jun from attacking.The people in the city were all horrified, Zhuge Liang shouted anxiously.

"Once Xiangyang is lost, Jingzhou is in danger! Uncle Liu Huang's foundation will not be guaranteed, and he will be murdered by robbers sooner or later!!! You are all good people, and I don't want you to be in danger. All the folks and elders, help Liang, and Liang will be rewarded in the future!!!”

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the people of Xiangyang remembered that since Liu Bei became the real power in Jingzhou, he implemented more benevolent policies and reduced taxes, and the people were able to breathe. Although their lives were not rich, they could still be self-sufficient.The people of Xiangyang all admire Liu Bei's virtue, and the reason why they are willing to guard the city for Zhuge Liang today is also to repay Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.

"Don't worry sir! As long as it's for the emperor's uncle, I'm willing to go through fire and water!!!"

"That's right! Uncle Huang is a benevolent and righteous king, and he loves me and the common people especially. If I were to be ruled by Cao Bandits, I would rather die in battle!!!"

"Why do you have to be afraid of death! As long as Uncle Liu Huang stays in Jingzhou for a day, I can live a happy life waiting for my wife and children. I am willing to defend Xiangyang City to the death!!!"

The people came one after another, and gradually the fear in the hearts of the people seemed to disappear.The people in the city began to scramble to prepare supplies for the defense of the city. The original anxiety on Zhuge Liang's face disappeared for a while, and he looked up to the west, sighing secretly in his heart.

"My lord, although you are not by Liang's side. But at this moment, Liang feels that he is fighting side by side with my lord. Don't worry, my lord, Jingzhou is here, and Liang is here! When Jingzhou dies, Liang dies!"

On the other hand, it was said that Chen Heng climbed to the top of the city, but there was no movement in the city.When Chen Heng saw this, his heart was full of joy, and he quickly shouted to the soldiers in the city.

"There is no ambush in the city, beat the drums quickly!!!!"

As soon as Chen Heng's order fell, the drums were beating loudly in an instant, as if thousands of troops were about to rush over.The Jingzhou soldiers and horses buried in the houses in the southeast of Xiangyang City all thought that Cao Bing's army was coming, Pan Feng quickly ordered the soldiers to send out a signal, only to hear a cannon fire, and ambushes everywhere.Zhang Fei was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and he drove bravely to kill him.All of a sudden, soldiers and horses were everywhere in the originally dead and silent city.Chen Heng was frightened like a ghost, and saw Zhang Fei rushing towards him viciously.Chen Heng quickly ordered the soldiers to resist.

"Hold on, hold on!!! Your Majesty's reinforcements will be here soon!!!"

Chen Heng hissed and roared, commanding the soldiers to resist bravely, he had no doubt in his heart that Cao Cao would definitely lead the army to rescue.Zhang Fei stared round and round his eyes, Zhang Ba Snake Spear waved like the wind, rushed into Cao Bing's crowd, dashed from left to right, as if entering no one's land, and rushed straight away, Cao Bing was unstoppable, and was killed by Zhang Fei We have to retreat steadily.

Pan Feng was about to lead his troops to kill at the bottom of the city, when suddenly a Kuaiqi rushed to report.

"The military division has an order! Cao Jun will attack Ximen together, and the general will quickly lead the army to help Ximen, there must be no mistakes!!!"

Pan Feng's complexion changed drastically when he heard it, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked up the city, only to see that apart from the thousands of Cao soldiers at the front, only the beating of drums could be heard outside the southeast city, and there was no rushing army shouting to kill at all. Voice.

"No, I fell into Cao Cao's trap!!"

Pan Feng exclaimed, and hastily ordered all the generals and schools to lead the army to the west gate for help.At the same time, Zhang Fei charged wildly with his gun, seeing that he was about to kill Chen Heng.Chen Heng was so anxious that his heart was on fire, and his eyes kept looking out of the city, but he didn't see a single soldier from his own army!

At this moment, in the west of Xiangyang City, there was a sudden eruption, like a huge shout of killing that could shake the sky and the earth.Wave after wave of sound waves that swept the sky continued to stir up, shaking the entire Xiangyang City.
