Ma Di's "ingenious plan" is actually not complicated, and can even be described as simple.

When setting up camp, Ma Di took people around Xiajun, but unexpectedly found that there was a rather hidden mountain in the northeast of Xiajun East Pass, that is, on Fengcheng Ridge.Its height is a little higher than that of Dongguan City Head. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can have a bird's-eye view of every move at Dongguan City Head.Moreover, this mountain is located in a blind spot in Dongguan, so it is difficult to detect.

"Su led 800 people into the mountain overnight and waited for Fengcheng Ridge.

You only need to carry ten catapults and five hundred strong archers to suppress the enemies in Dongguan.When the time comes, the Junhou will lead his troops to attack from the front, and will eventually use trebuchets and crossbowmen to suppress it on Fengcheng Ridge. Wouldn't Xia Jun be able to get it without any effort? "

Guan Yu was overjoyed and praised again and again.

At that moment, he dispatched a thousand soldiers and Ma Di, and ordered him to set off overnight, sneak into Fengcheng Ridge, climb to the top and wait for the time to come.Afterwards, Guan Yu felt relieved and ordered people to put Guan Ping's coffin in the back camp.When Xiajun City is broken tomorrow, it will be properly resettled.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +
All night long!
The next day, Guan Yu led his troops to line up outside Xiajun City.

And Cao Peng had already made preparations. Hearing Guan Yu's call for battle, he immediately took Wenwu to Dongguan to observe the situation of Jiang Xia's soldiers.It can be seen that after a night of rest, Jiang Xiabing has recovered his vitality.Coupled with Guan Yu's pre-war agitation, everyone is aware of the situation they are currently facing.If they can't break through Xia Jun, they will only have a dead end.Guan Yu even distributed all the gold, silver, money and silk brought from Xiling County to these Jiangxia soldiers.It is said that under a heavy reward there must be a dead husband, Jiang Xia's soldier's aura can be described as extreme.

Guan Yu rode forward and came to Xiajun City.

"Little thief Cao Peng, how dare you fight against a certain family."

To be honest, Cao Peng really wanted to fight Guan Yu.

But he knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.His purpose is to prevent Guan Yu from entering Changsha. Under this premise, he will never act rashly.

Therefore, Cao Peng sneered at the gate of Dongguan City, "Does the Second General think this is a game?
If the second general has the ability, just attack.If there is any means, a certain family will follow up, don't play any childish tricks. "

Guan Yu sat upright on his horse, his eyes slightly closed.

After a while, he suddenly laughed and pointed at Cao Peng, "Son of the Cao family, today I will let you know how powerful your second general is."

After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to the main formation.

Seeing Guan Yu's relaxed expression, Cao Peng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.This guy doesn't look like a person at the end of the road, he seems to be full of wisdom and confidence.Could it be that Guan Yun, at this point in time, can turn defeat into victory?However, Cao Peng was still a little more careful, and hurriedly ordered civil and military orders to let the soldiers in the city pay attention to the movements of Jiang Xia's soldiers and be careful of Guan Yu's tricks.

Rumble!
The drums of war roared.

Guan Yu ordered the arrow array to attack and suppress the top of the city.

The sword and shield soldiers marched forward in formation, slowly approaching the downward critical moment.Locusts are all over the sky, buzzing.Countless sharp arrows flew over and shot at the sandbags that had fallen on the city wall. The sandbags burst, and the sand slanted down from the breach and sprinkled on the corner of the city gate.Cao Peng frowned, observing the opponent's movements.It's just that he didn't understand... Guan Yu's attack couldn't pose any threat to Xia Jun, so why did he act like this?

Just when he was about to give the order to fight back, he suddenly heard a roar from above his head.

Cao Peng looked up and saw more than ten stones falling from the sky and falling towards the top of the city.One of the stones went straight to Cao Peng.

Wen Wu yelled: "Governor, be careful."

As he spoke, he leaped forward with his shield in hand, raised his shield to meet him, and wanted to protect Cao Peng.

However, that piece of rock was extremely heavy, coupled with the inertia of the throw, it slammed fiercely on the shield in Wenwu's hands.The thick shield was cracked with a snap.Wen Wu was knocked back again and again by the huge impact force, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and sat down on the ground.

"Where did you get the stone?"

On the top of the city, Cao Jun panicked for a while.

Just now, a round of rock breaking caused three casualties in Cao Jun's army.

Although the number of people is not too many, the impact on Cao Jun is extremely huge.

No one knows where the stone came from.Cao Peng helped Wenwu up, squatted down against the female wall, and shouted loudly: "Archer, fight back."

Following Cao Peng's order, the archers stepped forward.

Outside the city, Jiang Xia's soldiers roared over and launched a fierce attack on Xia Jun.

Cloud ladders are densely covered, leaning against the city wall one after another.Just when Cao Jun was about to fight back, he heard a whistling sound, and dozens of stones flew towards him again, causing panic in the city.Cao Peng observed carefully, this time, he finally discovered the source of the stone.It turned out to be flying from Fengcheng Ridge, which surprised Cao Peng.He raised his eyes to observe, but he couldn't see the enemy's trace... This shows that the opponent's hiding place must be very hidden, and it can just suppress Jundongguan.Damn it, is this Guan Yu's method?

But it has to be said that the rock that fell from the sky brought great troubles to Cao Peng.

The archers could not effectively suppress the enemy, but instead were afraid and difficult to use.Moreover, the other party's hiding place is extremely hidden, and it can only be confirmed that it is on Fengcheng Ridge.If it is in normal times, Cao Peng can send people to look for the enemy's traces.But now, Guan Yu is attacking head-on, so he has no time to take care of the enemy troops on Fengcheng Ridge.However, this damned enemy army stubbornly suppressed its own actions.It is impossible for the catapult trucks in the city to hit Fengcheng Ridge.As long as there is any change on the top of the city, it will be hit by Fengcheng Ridge.

"Hold on, hold on!"

Cao Peng shouted loudly to stabilize his position.

Wen Wu suddenly said: "Great Governor, if this goes on like this, I can't hold it at all."

"What should I do?"

"Let Jiangxia's soldiers go to the city."

"Oh?"

"They use this method to cover Jiang Xia's soldiers from entering the city. As long as we let them up, their sneak attack will no longer be effective. Besides, although there are many enemy troops, there is only so much room. , is our advantage.

Didn't the military division say that?
Let's hold on for at least one day.

Now, we can only use our lives to hold back the opponent's footsteps.

As long as today passes, even if they break through the East Pass, it will be difficult to capture Xiajun. "

Cao Peng thought about it and found it quite reasonable.Guan Yu arranged such an army, obviously to suppress the archers on the top of the city.

But if it is difficult to distinguish the enemy from the city, then the usefulness of that surprise soldier will be reduced accordingly.

"Wang Shuang."

"Here!"

Cao Peng braved the flying stones and called Wang Shuang over.

He grabbed Wang Shuang's lapel and said in a deep voice: "Gather all the dark soldiers immediately, go out from Xiguan, and go deep into Fengcheng Ridge. Do you see that there must be an enemy army hiding in that position. Kill them for me." , At noon tomorrow at the latest, you must take down that soldier and horse for me. If you succeed, you will be the first to do it... Remember, after entering the mountain, you must be careful, and don't be noticed by the other party."

"Young master, don't worry."

Without saying a word, Wang Shuang rushed down the East Gate with ten dark men.

The advantage of the assassin lies in assassination and special warfare in the jungle.This kind of head-on confrontation is not the director of the dark fighters. It can even be said that letting the dark fighters participate in this kind of battle is like shooting mosquitoes with cannons, which is overkill.Now Guan Yu has created a strange army, but it just gives the dark soldiers a place to use their skills.However, Cao Peng also believes that the other party will definitely take strict precautions, and it will not be easy to eliminate the other party.

On the side of Fazheng, it will take another day to arrange.

Therefore, no matter what method is used, Cao Peng must survive this day...

After Wang Shuang left, Cao Peng immediately ordered that all bows and arrows be discarded, and everyone held swords and shields, ready to fight.And Cao Peng himself, also holding two swords, hid behind the female wall.Although Wen Wu wanted to stay and continue fighting, but the sharp stone just now really hurt his internal organs, making it difficult for him to continue.So, Cao Peng asked Wenwu to be sent to Fazheng's side, and he led his men to look outside through the parapet to observe the movements of Jiang Xia's soldiers.

Thanks to Ma Di's strong support, Jiang Xiabing was obviously much more relaxed.

Cao Jun in Dongguan couldn't give Jiang Xia's soldiers a strong counterattack, so soon, Jiang Xia's soldiers rushed to Xiajun City holding a ladder.

The Dongguan city wall is not too high, and the ladder can be easily buckled on the city wall.

Armed with knives and guns, Jiang Xia's soldiers swarmed towards the top of the city with deafening shouts.

Cao Peng hid behind the parapet and remained motionless. From time to time, he sent orders to Cao Jun's soldiers to hold on.When the first Jiang Xia soldier climbed up the city wall, Cao Peng suddenly stood up, wiped the steel knife horizontally in his hand, and cut the Jiang Xia soldier off the city wall at once.However, more and more Jiangxia soldiers climbed onto the city wall, and Cao Peng roared, "Boys, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. Today is the time for us to build our achievements. Let me beat these rebels!" go down..."

While speaking, two Jiang Xia soldiers rushed forward.

But Cao Peng made a wrong move, his body suddenly turned around, and he held two steel knives, one for horizontal wiping and the other for flying stabs.After hearing two screams, the two Jiang Xia soldiers fell into a pool of blood.Cao Peng succeeded again and again, which also made Cao Jun on the top of the city suddenly refreshed.

As Wen Wu said just now, when Jiang Xia's soldiers climbed to the top of the city, the enemy troops on Fengcheng Ridge immediately stopped attacking.

Without the threat of sharp stones and arrows, Cao Jun seemed to be a lot more relaxed even though he was facing a bloody battle.

These Cao troops are all fierce soldiers selected by Cao Peng from the army.Everyone has participated in at least two battles and has extremely rich experience.Although Jiang Xia's soldiers were fierce, they couldn't resist Cao Jun's crazy counterattack.Cao Peng was even more courageous and took the lead, with two steel knives flying up and down, killing Jiang Xia's soldiers everywhere they passed, blood flowed into rivers, their limbs and arms were broken, and they sprinkled all over the city...

The terrain of Dongguan is destined to be difficult for Guan Yu to deploy all his troops.

Only a few hundred people can come up the narrow pass, but there are more than a thousand soldiers of Cao Jun guarding the city.

Soon, Jiang Xia's soldiers couldn't resist and began to flee to the city.Cao Peng kicked a Jiang Xia soldier down from the top of the wall. Before he could catch his breath, he heard the whistle of the stone and flew towards the top of the wall.

Nima, the stone bombing, the infantry rushed, the infantry rushed to the stone bomb...

Could it be that the Japanese's charge tactics were learned from here?

Cao Peng was so frightened that he dodged to dodge, and a boulder fell viciously, hitting the place where Cao Peng was standing just now.He wiped off his cold sweat, and quickly shouted: "Everyone, hide, hide... The enemy is bombarded with rocks, everyone, be careful and hide your whereabouts."

From the initial panic, Cao Jun gradually became accustomed to this attack method.

Every time Jiang Xia's soldiers were driven down, the enemy troops on Fengcheng Ridge would definitely bombard them with rocks.After the bombardment of the rocks, Jiang Xia's soldiers will charge again.Repeatedly, five or six times in a row.When the enemy troops on Fengcheng Ridge bombarded them with rocks again, the generals of Cao Jun no longer panicked, and some people even sang folk songs on the top of the city, which attracted everyone to laugh happily.

Guan Yu held two sabers and stared at Xia Jun angrily.

Ma Di's strategy was not bad, but unexpectedly, Cao Jun came up with such a countermeasure.

Every time he charged, Buqu was about to attack Xiajun, but he was finally driven down from the top of the city by Cao Jun.This city, which is not particularly strong, is like a hard rock at this moment, resisting its own attack like a tide.However, the terrain of Juan now made it impossible for Guan Yu to deploy his troops.Xia Xinfan was originally a very strange shape, and Fengcheng Ridge was its flank, which made Guan Yu helpless for a while.In the current situation, he had no choice but to repeatedly attack the Dongguan City Wall.

Guan Yu believed that it would be difficult for Xiajun's city defense to persist for too long.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
When the sun is setting, the sunset glows with Xiajun.

The original gray city wall had now turned dark red, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the whole city was shrouded in a bloody halo.

The blood flowed down the cracks in the city walls built with rammed earth, and in many places, the phenomenon of solidification had already appeared.

On the top of the city, gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Under the city wall, corpses are everywhere...

In just one day, Jiang Xia's soldiers paid hundreds of people's lives, but Xiajundongguan still stands majestically.

Cao Peng stood on the top of the city like a blood man, looking out with a knife.Of his pair of steel knives, one was curled up and could no longer be used.

His body was covered in blood.

There is also a small piece of intestines hanging from someone's shoulder, which looks particularly terrifying.

This fierce battle was much more dangerous than the Quyang battle back then.The bravery of Jiang Xia's soldiers is almost comparable to that of Lu Bu's soldiers back then.Since the end of the Battle of Quyang, Cao Peng has hardly encountered such a dangerous situation again.Even if he was sitting on the white horse back then, he still had a huge room for maneuver.But in Xiajun, he has no room for maneuver, he can only fight to the death with the opponent.

Fortunately, this day is finally over.

Dongguan is still in the hands of Cao Peng...

He took a breath of air that filled the sky with a strong smell of blood.

Cao Peng turned around to check, and saw Cao Jun on the top of the city, exhausted one by one.Many people even sat directly on the corpse, in a pool of blood, but didn't seem to notice it.Some soldiers lifted up the corpse of Jiang Xia soldiers on the top of the city, threw them down from the city, and gasped for breath.

This battle is really too bitter!

In just one day, Cao Jun had more than [-] casualties, which is definitely an astonishing number.

But there is no way, due to the suppression of the enemy's stones and bows and arrows on Fengcheng Ridge, Cao Jun could not resist the enemy outside the city.You can only use this kind of hand-to-hand combat to fight fiercely with the opponent.If it weren't for the constraints of the terrain, maybe at this moment, Dongguan had already been breached by Guan Yu.

I don't know whether Wang Shuang can kill that strange soldier in time.

Cao Peng was very curious in his heart, who exactly proposed this strategy?

For so many days in Xiajun, he didn't notice such a hiding place.In other words, he never thought that there would be such a place.However, Guan Yu's people discovered such a good place overnight, which made Cao Peng completely passive.

Talent, this is definitely a talent!
Cao Peng can be sure that this is definitely not Guan Yu's idea.

Based on what Cao Peng knew about Guan Yu, it was impossible for him to come up with such a trick.

That is an extremely proud guy who disdains to use intrigue.He likes head-to-head confrontation, which can be seen from Zhuge Liang's conversation with Guan Yu before he entered Sichuan in history.

When Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan, he asked Guan Yu: "If Cao Cao invades Jingzhou, how should he resist the enemy?"

Guan Yu's answer was: "Fight with all your strength."

"Then if Cao Cao and Sun Quan join forces, how should we deal with it?"

According to Zhuge Liang's idea, it is natural to unite Wu against Cao.But Guan Yu's answer was extremely firm and tough, "Divide up and refuse."

Therefore, Cao Peng believed that this extraordinary strategy was definitely not done by Guan Yu.

However, if he fails today, he will inevitably launch a more ferocious attack tomorrow.And the defenders of the East Gate have suffered heavy casualties.Most importantly, this day's fierce battle has brought tremendous pressure to everyone.It is a miracle to be able to persevere today...

But what about tomorrow?

Can you continue to hold on tomorrow?
Cao Peng began to miss Cao Cao...

Old guy, you've been resting in Xiling for long enough, shouldn't it be time to make a move?
He regretted that he didn't bring more soldiers and horses, so that now, he was a little stretched.But think about it carefully, if he brings too many soldiers and horses, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Bei will notice.Therefore, this kind of thing has advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.

I hope that Cao Jun will not procrastinate too long in E County, otherwise he will be in real trouble!
Guan Yu is a trivial matter, the important thing is Liu Bei of Changsha County.

If he realizes that the situation is not good, he will definitely send troops to rescue.It is even possible that Tai Shici from Luo County sent troops to come!After all, the existence of Liu Bei is conducive to the development of Jiangdong.If Liu Bei's restraint is lost, I believe Jiangdong will also be very painful.

At this moment, a group of people hurried up from the city.

The leader is none other than Cao Peng's deputy, Luo Meng.

This Luo Meng is from Xiangyang, and he took refuge in Xichuan with his family in his early years.However, when Zhang Song was on his mission to Xiangyang, Luo Meng returned to Xiangyang with Zhang Song.Seeing the tranquility of Jingzhou, Luo Meng decided to stay in his hometown.Later, on the recommendation of Zhang Song, Cao Peng enlisted Luo Meng as the commander of the army, and followed the army to obey orders.

Romon climbed to the top of the wall and quickly came to Cao Peng.

"Governor, the military adviser asked me to inform you that the Dongguan Bridge has been properly arranged, and you can abandon the Dongguan Bridge at any time and withdraw to the Dongguan Bridge."

"Ready?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Peng was overjoyed, and slapped hard on the female wall with his palm.

Now that Fazheng has made arrangements, the pressure he will have to bear next will also be greatly reduced...

Guan Yu, the day when you confer the head is not far away!
