The next day, near noon, Cai Mao was still in a drunken and drowsy state. Suddenly, a loud fighting noise woke him up from his sleep.

He was very impatient to open his eyes, rubbed and rubbed his head, still a little dizzy: "come on..."

Two soldiers quickly ran in: "general, are you awake?"

Cai Mao said, "what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy that this general's dream is disturbed?"

"The general Hui is the enemy in the city. Seeing that our army has not been out for a morning, he goes out of the city and tries to rob the camp."

"What? Robbing the camp? " Cai Mao instantly all sober up, the whole person from the bed.

"Such a big event, why not the morning post? Come on, get my armor. "

However, the soldier said, "the general does not have to worry. The other side only sent out about 10000 people. General wenpin said that this was just a test. He led his army to resist."

Cai Mao a listen, this just relaxed again: "so good, so good."

All of a sudden, he seemed to think of something, and the whole person was tense again: "what did you just say? All morning? What time is it now

"Back to general, it's a quarter in the morning."

"A moment in the afternoon?" Cai Mao's whole body was excited: "where are Pang Degang now?"

"Pang Degong and his four disciples got up this morning. Seeing that the general was still in a coma, they said that the general was busy in military affairs, and they could not disturb them too much. He said that he would visit again when the general won the victory and returned to Xiangyang with the general."

On hearing this, Cai Mao's face again showed a proud smile: "well, it seems that Pang Degong has really returned to our army. Wonderful, wonderful. When I captured the city, I had two contributions. By then, I would be equal with XiahouDun and XiaHouYuan. Our military strength in Jingzhou should not be weaker than those in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. "

As he spoke, the fighting outside gradually stopped. Shortly after, Wen pin lifted the curtain and walked in.

"I will see the general at the end of the day."

Cai Mao hastily beckons him to take his seat. After Wen pin thanks him, he sits aside.

"How is general Wen injured?"

Wen pin was stunned, but soon realized what he was asking: "general Hui, only a few dozen military sticks. It's a common meal. It's nothing. Thank you very much."

"Well, that's fine. General Wen is the pillar of our Jingzhou army. You can't do anything. "

Cai Mao's flattery made wenpin very uncomfortable. He quickly changed the topic.

"General, the enemy troops have just come to explore the camp. They have been killed and retreated to report to the general."

Cai Mao was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit: "good, good, general Wen, Cai is naturally at ease. Later, I will order a credit for the general. "

"Thank you, general." Although Wen pin was curious about CAI Mao's sudden change of attitude, he would not refuse the credit.

"The last general dares to ask the general whether our army will continue to attack the city today?"

Cai Mao listened to his question and thought about it a little. Then he asked, "Zhang Yong, is there any movement?"

Wen pin shook his head: "Zhang Yong is still stationed in the Rushui river. He only practices as usual every day. There is no sign of coming to fight with our army."

"Oh It's amazing. What kind of medicine is sold in this brave gourd... "

Cai Mao was very puzzled: "if he doesn't come, will not all the means carefully planned by the general fail?"

"Will..." Wen pin tried to guess: "can Zhang Yong already see that general you will be prepared, so that he stays at the same place and does nothing to avoid being caught in a trap?"

Cai Mao nodded slightly: "well, it is possible."

"The last general thought that since Zhang Yong did not come, our army would attack the city with all its strength, take down Shangcai County, and then turn to deal with Zhang Yong. With our troops, there is still a great chance of winning."

Cai Mao thought for a moment, then nodded his head and said, "general Wen is right. Let's go down and gather the whole army. After half an hour, we will attack the city again."

"Yes, I will go and prepare for it."

Wen pin turns to leave, but is stopped by Cai Mao.

Cai Mao looked at him kindly, which made wenpin get goose bumps all over.

"Zhongye, think carefully. You and I have known each other for more than ten years."

Wen pin didn't know how he suddenly mentioned this, but he still replied, "yes, twelve years ago, he was promoted to Xiangyang by the then governor of Jingzhou. At that time, general CAI was already a captain. Soon after Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, he transferred me to your command. "

"Well, how has general Ben treated you these years?"

Wen pin was puzzled. He always felt that Cai Mao was a little strange today. However, he still said, "we will be able to have this day in the end, thanks to the promotion of the general and his great kindness. We will never forget it."

"It's hard to say that you and I are both Jingzhou people, that is, fellow countrymen and fellow countrymen, so we should help each other. Don't worry. After my general is promoted, I will promote you and other old Jingzhou troops. I will never forget my origin. "Cai Mao made a promise. Even if Wen pin was stupid, he should understand the meaning of this.

Although he had never been very fond of CAI Mao, the other party was his Shangguan after all, and the civil servant was not such a person who could not understand the current situation, so he still gave him a fist in return.

"In that case, I will thank the general first."

"Good, good, you go down and prepare for the war." Cai Mao waved his hand and Wen pin bowed out.

Cai Mao looked at his back, and a smile appeared in his mouth: "although wenpin is not popular, he has extraordinary skills. I have to draw him in. There are many generals and men in the army. I should bring them under my command. Otherwise, I am weak. How can we compete with the generals of Xiahou family and Cao family? Well, it should be carefully planned... "

More than 100000 Jingzhou troops stormed the four gates of Shangcai County.

Such a small town, in the face of such a fierce offensive, has been a bit shaky yesterday, but now it is more difficult to support.

A team of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, climbing up the wall, began to defend, fierce fighting.

Although the general in the city is also a general who has experienced many years in the army, and has gradually gone from a pawn to a present-day position, how can he withstand such a battle scene?

Of course, Cai Mao's ability of unifying troops was not comparable to that of Xia Houdun, XiaHouYuan and Cao Ren, but he was not a general one.

Under his personal command, more than 100000 troops were divided into three groups, and they stormed the city walls and gates one after the other.

"Hold on Hold on... "

"Come on, crossbow man, go to the south to support, go to..."

"Where's the rolling stone? There are also rolling logs. It's a big deal to tear down the county government. Let's resist this wave of attack first and then... "

The general was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and was very tired. But even so, he saw more and more enemies climbing up the wall.

Cai Mao was not in a hurry. He had a huge military advantage. Even though he was dry, he also consumed the garrison in the dead city.

"Well Almost. Let the second team replace it, and the first team will come down and have a rest for half an hour. "

At his command, a group of soldiers resting in the rear rushed to the wall. The soldiers who were climbing the wall and hitting the gate were quickly replaced by them, and they ran back to the rear, eating dry food and drinking water.

The war from the afternoon, has been fighting until the night is near, the sun tilted to the West.

At this time, the city wall of Shangcai County was dilapidated and covered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides. It can be said that there is a river of blood and bones like mountains.

The tens of thousands of garrisons on the city wall are exhausted at the moment. Although they are much better than the enemy in terms of physical strength and fighting spirit, they may not be able to sustain the fierce attacks for several consecutive hours even if they are as strong as Zhu Ye.

"Hoo Hoo Huhoo... "

"Cough, cough..."

The soldiers gasped one by one, but the enemy's attack did not weaken at all.

When the general was in great anxiety, a soldier from the South came running in a hurry.

"General No, it's not good... "

When the general heard this, his face changed: "what happened to the south gate?"

The soldier "puffed" and knelt down directly, his face full of tears and tears: "general, South Gate The south gate is lost... "

"What?" The guard general was shocked, reeled and almost fell.

"General Be careful. " The soldiers nearby quickly helped him.

The guard general's face was pale, his eyes looked at the sky, and he wanted to cry without tears.

"General Zhang Your majesty, in the end I'm sorry for you... "

After saying that, he stood up, wiped the blood on his face, and put a spear in his hand to the ground.

"Brothers, this city will not be able to hold fast to today's war. We are all promoted by your majesty and general Zhang. Only then can we have the present day. Otherwise, we would have died in the wilderness. How could we have the glory of today? Now that the war has been defeated and no city remains, we can only serve our country with death. "

"Follow the general and serve the country with death!"

"Follow the general and serve the country with death!"

Many generals and soldiers cried out in unison. This magnificent power shocked Cao soldiers, who were just about to climb the wall, to be timid.

A military general said with a smile to Cai Mao: "general, the south gate has been broken, and the capture of Shangcai city is just within the fingertips. The general is really incomparable in power."

"Ha ha, all depends on the officers and men's life. How dare Mao be greedy?" Cai Mao said so, but his expression was very proud. His eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

"Dada Da..."

A quick sound of horse's hooves suddenly came to his ears. Although Cai Mao felt a little surprised, there were only a few thousand cavalry in his army, all of whom were his personal guards. Where did the sound come from?

But he was in a good mood at the moment and didn't care too much.

But soon, the general, who had just flattered him, pulled the lapel of his armor: "general Cai, you see, that man is..."Cai Mao was impatient: "who is it? What's so good to see? I'm busy directing the war? "

The general was a little anxious: "no, you see, that man The horse the man rode on and the armor he wore seemed to be It's the personal cavalry of the Lord. "

Cai Mao was so surprised that he almost fell off his horse: "my Lord, are you a bodyguard? Where, where? "

The general held him in a hurry and pointed to a certain direction. Cai Mao looked at him. Sure enough, he saw one of them, dressed in special armor, with a flag of "Cao" on his back.

"It's the Lord's own cavalry. How could he get here?"

Cai Mao was puzzled, but he couldn't bear to think too much. On the battlefield, Cao Cao suddenly sent his own personal cavalry. It was absolutely an important order to convey. How dare he ignore it?

Cai Mao hastened to move forward and took the initiative to meet him.

He clasped his fists to the guard cavalry. Just as he was about to say hello, the other side said in a cold voice, "who is Cai Mao?"

Cai Mao was not happy at all. He was also a commander in chief. Although the other side was Cao Cao's personal guard, he was only a soldier. He dared to call his own name.

But even though he thought so, Cai Mao didn't dare to show it on his face. He was still full of smiles and said to the man, "I'm Cai Mao. Dare you ask if you're here, but the Lord wants important military orders?"

"It's natural."

The guard, with a cold face, took the flag on his back and put it upright on his chest: "Cai Mao, listen to the order."

Cai Mao hastily corrected his color and said, "at the end of the day, Cai Mao will obey his orders."

"At present, gaoshun troops besiege an Cheng, and the battle in an Cheng is urgent. After receiving the order, Cai Mao personally leads 50000 soldiers and comes to Ancheng to assist in the battle. After defeating Gao Shun, he will give a reward."

"Ah?" Cai Mao was stunned for a moment.

"But But Shangcai County is about to be attacked Is it not to give up all my previous achievements if I am to lead the troops away at this time? "

A total of 150000 troops were killed by Zhang Yong. In the past two days, Zhang Yong killed a lot of them. Now, more than 30000 people are still dead and wounded. Now, seeing that victory is in sight, he suddenly stops fighting. He takes 50000 people away at one time, and the remaining 70000 troops are impossible to invade the city again.

"This general, can you allow Cai Mou to take Shangcai County and leave for Ancheng early tomorrow morning?"

"No way." The man rebuffed: "is the life of the Lord important, or your War Merit important, the priority is not clear, how to be a general?"

"You..." Cai Mao was so angry that he almost smoked: "you are just..."

He wanted to refute a few words, but the other party shook the flag three times. Cai Mao lost his temper and could only suppress his anger.

"The Lord is wise and powerful, and gaoshun has only thirty or forty thousand troops. How could he break through an Cheng so quickly? It's not easy to break the gate of Shangcai County and give up like this, isn't it... "

He still wanted to fight for it, but the cavalry did not intend to continue to listen: "well, you immediately go to order the troops and horses, hand over the military power of this place to Wen pin. After a quarter of an hour, follow me to an Cheng, without delay, or it will be regarded as treason."

"You..." Cai Mao was angry again, but he was stopped by the general.

"General Cai, don't be angry. Since my Lord asked us to help us, it must be that the war is really critical. It is also a great achievement to save the Lord and relieve the danger of an Cheng. You can't contradict this personal guard for this, otherwise he will go back and say some bad words to you, and you can..."

After listening to the general's warning, Cai Mao woke up a little.

He forced out a smile: "since the Lord has a destiny, Cai dare not refuse, so he will call on the soldiers, and then go to..."

After that, he turned around and took the general away a few steps: "you stay in the army and watch every move of wenpin for me."

"The general means

"Hum, I'm afraid that the Lord has the right to engage a traitor. I'm afraid that Wen Gong has the right to do something about it."

"Yes, general. Don't worry."

In CAI Mao's eyes, the fine light flashed: "wenpin Hum, if it's you who are playing a trick, then it's no wonder that general Ben doesn't read the old love... "
