The Three Kingdoms are invincible

The siege continued for another day, but still failed, and Cao Jun had to retreat again.I saw that under the command of Gao Shun and others, the soldiers were forming a phalanx and retreating neatly and orderly.

Gao Shun looked at the towering city wall of Wancheng in the distance, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.Even though the siege for several days caused heavy losses to the defenders of Wancheng, the pressure on their own side was not small. Not to mention the casualties of many soldiers, even a small half of the siege equipment had been damaged one after another.

In addition, what Gao Shun was worried about was the reinforcements from Xiangyang. How long would it take them to reach Wancheng?

But no matter how long it takes for the reinforcements to enter Wancheng, there is not much time left for Gao Shun.Five days, if Wancheng can't be taken within five days, I'm afraid I have no choice but to retreat.

But to be honest, the five-day deadline is really too tight, and Gao Shun has no confidence that he can break through the gate of Wancheng within five days.If the time limit is doubled, from five days to ten days, Gao Shun will be full of confidence, but unfortunately he can only do his best now...

Gao Shun sighed softly, his heart was in a mess, with mixed feelings.

"As the leader of an army, you must not be anxious." At some point, Yu Jin, who was the deputy general in this battle, came to Gao Shun on horseback and said to Gao Shun, "Wancheng is strong, and there are many defenders. It is reasonable to be unable to attack, Chang Gong needn't worry about it, so that his mind is confused."

"Shun, be taught." Facing Fang Jin's kind persuasion, Gao Shun was also somewhat grateful, so he replied sincerely.

"General, look quickly." Suddenly, Captain Xia Houlan, who was the vanguard, pointed at the gate of Wancheng and shouted loudly.

Looking in the direction Xia Houlan pointed, Gao Shun couldn't help showing a look of extreme surprise, and his eyes widened even more.

The gate of Wancheng was actually opened, just like that before his eyes.

Although Gao Shun is more than [-] steps away from the gate of Wancheng, the specific situation is not very clear, but there is no doubt that the gate of Wancheng has indeed been opened.

"Quick! Invite the military division to come and discuss!" Gao Shun hastily shouted to the messengers beside him.

Naturally, the military advisor was referring to Jia Xu, and not long after, under the leadership of the messengers, Jia Xu also came to Gao Shun's side.

Seeing the opening of the gate of Wancheng, even though Jia Xu was usually as calm as water, she couldn't help showing a hint of disbelief at this time.

"Could it be a fraud?" Jia Xu, who is used to people, subconsciously thought that this was the strategy of the city guards, and that he might set up an ambush inside the city gate and wait for him to get caught.

No matter how scheming Jia Xu was, he would never have expected that all of this was caused by Wei Yan.When he let Wei Yan go back, he didn't think about getting any great benefits from this incident.In Jia Xu's original prediction, if Wei Yan could contact his own army after returning to the city because of his incompatibility with Liu Pan, and become his own army's internal response in the city, this would be the perfect result.As for things like Wei Yan killing Liu Pan in a fit of anger and opening the city gate to surrender, no matter how unfathomable Jia Xu's IQ is, he would never have imagined such a magical development in the plot.

"Wenhe, what should we do now?" If Gao Shun had the mind, he should launch a charge of the whole army now, rushing into the city gate in one fell swoop, and occupy Wancheng with lightning speed.

Of course, Gao Shun was not a reckless man. The gate of Wancheng was opened for no reason, and Gao Shun was naturally a little bit surprised, so he called Jia Xu to ask for advice.

"There may be an ambush in the city." Jia Xu thought for a while, but he didn't want to understand anything, and finally just spit out these six words.

Empty city plan?Hearing what Jia Xu said, Gao Shun couldn't make a decision.

"General, send troops." Xia Houlan on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Gao Shun, "No matter what tricks the Wancheng defenders want to do, they are inferior to our army in terms of numbers and combat power. As long as you take precautions, even if there is fraud, what is there to be afraid of?"

Xia Houlan is a typical militant, how could she give up when she saw an opportunity to make meritorious service in battle, so naturally she tried her best to persuade Gao Shun to attack.

However, what Xia Houlan said may not be entirely correct, but there is some truth to it, at least in terms of the current situation, this is really a godsend opportunity.If I ignore this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be really difficult for me to conquer Wancheng.

The so-called God-given not to take, is to be blamed instead.

Gao Shun then asked the rest of the people, Le Jin and Cao Ang were leading the battle, while Yu Jin said that it is not appropriate to act rashly.

Yu Jin has a calm personality, so he doesn't want to move lightly.Although Le Jin was one of the five good generals with Yu Jin, he fought bravely and dared to take risks, so he advocated taking advantage of this good opportunity to launch an offensive.Cao Ang was appointed by Cao Cao this time to enter the army for training, but due to his limited status, he had no chance to perform well from the beginning to the end. As his first time participating in the war, Cao Ang naturally did not want to return to Xuchang empty-handed, so he also hoped to get a meritorious service Opportunity.

After much consideration, Gao Shun finally made a decision: attack!

"Order the whole army to stop the retreat, change the rear army to the front army, and attack Wancheng!" The plan was established, and Gao Shun would never be vague, and immediately ordered.

Jia Xu did not dissuade Gao Shun from attacking.Although it is unreasonable for Wancheng to suddenly open its gates, but for some reason, Jia Xu has a vague feeling that if Gao Shun goes, he will win a big victory.

The soldiers continued to fight for a day, and at this time they were already exhausted. When the retreat was halfway through, they suddenly heard the order to regroup and attack the city again. Many people could not help complaining.Fortunately, Cao Jun's military discipline was strict, and his orders were issued, but his actions were orderly without any chaos.

The army quickly turned around and marched towards Wancheng again.

It's a pity that I don't have cavalry in this battle, otherwise the speed of the charge will be greatly accelerated, and if the enemy really has any tricks, they can retreat quickly. Gao Shun not only sighed secretly in his heart.However, there was no way around it. Cao Cao hadn't unified the north at this time, and the reserve of war horses was not very sufficient. As for the powerful tiger and leopard cavalry, there was not even a shadow of them now.Under such circumstances, the allocation of war horses is strictly controlled. Gao Shun's trip is a siege battle, so what do you need cavalry for?Cao Cao would never arrange cavalry with him.

Although Gao Shun and other generals have horses to ride, they will never widen the gap between themselves and the infantry behind them.

The distance of more than three hundred steps is not very far, but it still takes some time to run across with two legs.During the march, Gao Shun was afraid that the city gate would be closed suddenly, but fortunately, this was purely unnecessary worry for him. When he was about ten feet away from the city gate, the gate of Wancheng was still open, without any sign of closing.

And the scene near the city gate almost shocked Gao Shun's jaw.

I saw two people, one old and one young, fighting to the death. Upon closer inspection, those two were actually Huang Zhong and Wei Yan!
