Chapter 373
Both sides have begun to make preparations, which means that the surprise attack has no effect, and the next step is the real planning part.

It looks like a street fight, and the competition is about the cooperation and experience of both parties.

There are actually so many obstacles blocking the situation that the situation between the enemy and ourselves becomes very blurry.

For example, there are thousands of people on the other side, but when you look closer, you can see that there are only a few thousand people on the outside, and there is no one inside.

It is also possible that there may not be many people there, but when you enter, hundreds or even thousands of people are waiting for you...

It is impossible to accurately judge the situation of both sides. This part is no longer a simple competition of force and command, but a battle!

"General, there are many wealthy families around the government office now. Cao Cao has been operating here for a long time, and these wealthy families are inextricably related to him..." Jia Xu added.

"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it!" Guan Yu knew that Jia Xu was going to use tricks, but he just had some scruples.

"Like Luoyang in the past, set up a fire break zone, and then attack with fire!" Jia Xu added.

Anyway, we have surrounded this place, so use fire to attack and burn all the thousands of enemy troops to death in one breath, and it will be over.

It is said that water and fire are ruthless, but water and fire are also the most efficient way to kill enemies.

Even if the opponent has thousands of strategies, they can't display them in front of the blazing fire.

"Yes!" Guan Yu looked at the other side and nodded in agreement.

This will burn many people to death, but it doesn't matter, they are just enemies!

There may be innocent people. If Big Brother is blamed in the future, I will bear the responsibility.

He is like spring to his own people and like winter to his enemies. I have to say that I learned this from Zhang He.

After all, Cao Cao had burned them once before at a village gathering outside Juancheng.

If Zhang He had not come to the rescue in time, he would have either been burned to death, or would have been ambushed and killed by the ambush there when he fled to Puyang later.

Guan Yu could agree, and Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the command, a large number of fire starters were piled up, and the fire breakers began to be constructed. Just as they were about to light the fire, it turned out that it rained.

Jia Xu calculated the time, but it was not right. The first rain of autumn should not fall now.

There can't be anyone in Cao's army who can call the wind and rain?

Of course, Cao Cao is not the one who can call the wind and rain, but this year's climate is much warmer than last year. To put it another way, this year is a little bit dry.

There was almost no rain throughout the summer. It rained abnormally soon after autumn, which was much more normal.

That is to say, it didn't rain all summer, so Zhao Yun, who had been chasing the Xiongnu all the way, was so hot that he couldn't stand it.

As for the Southern Xiongnu, Yu Fuluo suffered from heatstroke and was still very sick in autumn.

It rains instead in autumn. The grain production that was originally reduced and cut off is now watered by the rain. Fortunately, the grain production that has been cut off can be said to have sprouted.

Now there is no way to save seeds, and storage is a problem.

In fact, there is a more serious problem that no one is aware of, and that is that the temperature is still a bit high in autumn this year.

If this continues, it will definitely be a warm winter this year.

Back to the topic, no matter how incredible this thing is, the rain is coming after all, and there is nothing the fire attack can do.

Even if the rain was just a shower and it gradually stopped soon, everything around was wet and it would not be easy to catch fire.

Relying on gunpowder, fish oil, etc., it can be ignited, but it is not that easy to spread quickly.

"What now?" The rain was still falling at this stage, but the battle had to continue. Guan Yu looked at Jia Xu.

"We have to wait until the rain stops..." Jia Xu said helplessly.

The rain extinguished all the torches, and I couldn't see anything in the dark.

If the other party surprises you at this time, the scene will not be an ordinary mess.

Fortunately, everyone is guarding a crossing. If you come over, I will attack you. Anyway, you only need to defeat the enemy directly opposite.

If he really accidentally killed one of his own, there was really nothing he could do at this time.

"This damn rain won't stop for a while!" Guan Yu was dissatisfied. God, why didn't it rain earlier and later? Now it's raining.

As soon as I finished speaking, the rain began to decrease.

After all, it is a shower, just like a middle-aged man who has been quiet for half a year and suddenly wants to prove himself.

It looked very exciting, but after a minute or two, it completely stopped.It's useless, but it only lasts for a minute or two. It's been dry for more than half a year, but I'm just looking forward to a little rain.

For a moment, people around him looked at Guan Yu. As soon as the general complained, the rain stopped. Could it be that the general can communicate with ghosts and gods?
Guan Yu didn't know what to say, and this was indeed a bit too coincidental.

His face turned red from holding back for a while, and thanks to his blushing, others really couldn't see anything.

"Military advisor, the rain has stopped." He finally recovered and looked at Jia Xu to ask.

"Then just push forward slowly." Jia Xu replied, since you can't attack with fire, then use a conservative approach.

The torch was lit again, and everything was no longer pitch black.

A large number of fireballs were thrown out, illuminating everything in front.

When fighting at night, lighting is the key.

But during those two minutes of darkness, the other party didn't know what had happened.

The biggest change was that their crossbowmen were missing.

This makes Jia Xu somewhat regretful. Although the other party is condescending, there is no protection.

How many people can be allowed to stand on the high places of those houses?
When the time comes, the bows and crossbows will be concentrated and fired, and there will be as many as there are, and no one can survive!

"No, they are too quiet over there!" Jia Xu saw that the army was advancing, but the other party was still refusing to confront them head-on, so he felt something was wrong.

"What's going on behind the scenes?" Guan Yu asked.

1000 people have been left to guard the torches. It rained and the torches were extinguished, but now they are lit again.

Throughout Juancheng, there is a torch at some distance to ensure that every place is brightly illuminated.

There are also patrols everywhere at night to ensure that there will be no problems in the rear.

But here's the problem, for a minute or two, the whole Juancheng was pitch black...

I was holding the torch high, but suddenly it went out. Before my eyes adapted to the darkness again, I couldn't see very clearly for a while.

So at this moment, a group of soldiers came out of the tunnel one after another and gathered from all directions.

Outside Juancheng, tunnel warfare had already been effective once before.

After such a long time, a lot of tunnels have naturally been dug in Juancheng.

These tunnels are spread everywhere, forming criss-crossing passages underground.

Normally, no one would be arranged to go in, but now that the city is being defended, for insurance purposes, Cao Cao ordered 2000 people to be sent in regularly to be on standby.

I really didn't expect that the enemy army suddenly came to kill tonight, and it really caught Cao Cao off guard.

Fortunately, he immediately thought of the two thousand soldiers under the tunnel, so he immediately ordered to shrink the defense line.

One of the purposes is to avoid chaos in the army and allow the army to take advantage of it.

Another reason is to force the enemy troops to gather.

"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed, "You think we are the ones being surrounded? Wrong, you are the ones being surrounded!"

"What is Cao Cao laughing at?" Guan Yu waved, and naturally some soldiers shot several loud arrows into the sky.

In the night sky, the sound of the arrow was so sharp that it could be heard within a radius of three or four miles.

So the reserve soldiers guarding the outside immediately entered the city, and Cao Jun became the one surrounded again.

It's just that the scene is a bit messy. The layers one after another are almost like Big Macs...

"Tsk..." Guo Jia, who was beside Cao Cao, felt uninterested. The competition had entered into a strategic battle, and it would depend on who could gain the upper hand first.

The short-term battle of wits is all about quick wits.

But the two sides are equally powerful. Without the help of Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia would be in trouble.

Fortunately, the situation is still under control, the tunnel can be activated at any time, and the thousands of soldiers around the government office can reach various parts of the city in the blink of an eye.

As long as everything moves, it's hard to say whether this conspiracy will be won or not!
 If it rains at this time, it is not my intention, but this year in history is indeed dry, and the weather is very abnormal. It is still very warm in winter, so a large number of locusts appeared the next year, and there was a locust plague in 195.Historically, Cao Cao had to temporarily break off the war with Lu Bu because of this.
