After coming out of Liu Yi's house and saying goodbye to Meng Da, Zhou Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Liu Yi approached him just now, his mind was a little confused. He struggled wildly between taking action and not taking action. In the end, he still didn't choose to take action. Even he couldn't explain why.

What should I do in the future? Just follow Liu Beijun like this? What should I do in Nanyang’s family?

There were a lot of thoughts in my mind, but I couldn't think of a way for a while. With Liu Yi's personality, after seeing him this time, I would probably have to wait until the war is over.

When he returned to the military camp, he saw someone packing his own things. When he saw Zhou Tonglai, he quickly got up and saluted: "Mr. Marquis!"

"Why pack up?" Zhou Tong looked at his current subordinate in confusion.

The general said, "General Meng just sent an order to come over, saying that sir, the Junhou was seriously injured and asked Junhou to return to Fangling to recuperate."

I vaguely remembered that Liu Yi said this, but Zhou Tong was a little confused at that time and didn't pay attention. It was Meng Da who kicked him and thanked Liu Yi. Now that his subordinates talked about this, Zhou Tong only had some impression.

Go back to Fangling?

Zhou Tong shook his head, not understanding why he had to say it back?

However, leaving here may be a good choice. Since he was unable to kill Liu Yi, he no longer wanted to point the weapons in his hand at the robe in the past. In fact, he had secretly shot the robe in the Cao army in the form of an arrow book, hoping to cooperate inside and outside to help Cao Ren break through this pass. Unfortunately, Cao's army obviously did not receive it. Now, he does not want to kill the robe in the past, and also makes him deal with Liu Yi in the opposite direction. Although he is a bit escaping, he does not want to choose between the two sides.

With a little melancholy and confusion, Zhou Tong silently began to organize his luggage.

Under the same night, there was no peace in the city in the Cao army camp.

In order to protect the wounded, Cao Ren sent the wounded soldiers to the camps in the rear to recuperate. The actual force he brought was 50,000. Most of the troops in Nanyang and Luoyang were here. With sufficient troops, Cao Ren could afford this kind of attack of both sides. Moreover, sending the wounded soldiers to the rear camps can also prevent the wounded soldiers from affecting the emotions of other soldiers.

However, Cao Ren couldn't stand it anymore after a month of fighting.

"General, you can't fight like this again!" Several generals came to the tent and advised Cao Ren: "In the past month, our army has lost nearly 20,000 people, and there are countless minor and serious wounded soldiers. If we continue to fight like this, even if we can capture Fangling, it will be difficult to go further!"

This is also the biggest disadvantage of siege wars. If a city is captured at all costs, there are more cities waiting behind it. The casualties of the siege are much greater than those of the defending city. If it is not necessary, general generals are unwilling to attack the city easily.

Cao Ren naturally knew how many casualties they had in the past month, and he didn't know how many soldiers there were in Fangling. Whenever he thought he was about to break through this damn Guancheng, the other party could always replenish his troops in time.

If he continued to consume so hard, although he brought many soldiers this time, he could not withstand this method of consumption. Although Cao Hong's death made Cao Ren feel uncomfortable, after a month of venting, he could control this anger.

Listening silently as the generals complained, Cao Ren began to think about the pros and cons of continuing to attack. After all, Fang Ling didn't know the truth and reality, as if the opponent's troops were endless. In this case, his judgment on Cao Ren obviously caused great interference. I don't know how long the other party can last.

A general suddenly said, "Some time ago, when cleaning up the battlefield, he found an arrow book, but someone from our army had sneaked into the city. He asked us to attack the city at night, and he would help us open the door."

Cao Ren was slightly stunned, then frowned and said, "Why not say this earlier if there is such a thing?"

"This..." The general smiled bitterly and looked at Cao Ren. At that time, Cao Ren was desperate and the generals dissuaded him and refused to listen. He wanted to say what he wanted to say to Cao Ren, but he was bombarded by Cao Ren before he could speak. What could he do if he did? But he didn't dare to say this, so he could only lower his head helplessly and prepare to accept Cao Ren's scolding like a storm.

Cao Ren looked at the general's aggrieved look, thinking of his performance over the years, sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "If you don't live this matter, you don't have to blame yourself."

"Can you still contact that person?" After thinking for a while, Cao Ren asked, if he could really cooperate inside and outside, as long as the city gate was opened, there would be only a few hundred troops in this city. Now he could call 30,000 troops and kill in one go, and even squeeze the other party to death.

Shaking his head, the general said, "A few days ago, that person would occasionally shoot arrows, but he has not been able to search these days. I'm afraid there is a lot of danger."

It was a risky thing, but I had never responded, so I might be discovered. Moreover, Cao Ren has been attacking Guancheng fiercely over the years, and the defenders at the city were replaced one after another, and they might die in the war. The most important thing is that the contact between the two sides is entirely based on the other's arch books, and there is no possibility of contacting the other party at all.

Cao Ren was a little regretful. Even if the other party could not help open the door, it would be good to send Fang Ling’s information back. Now it seems that this line is no longer possible.

After thinking for a while, Cao Ren said to the generals: "Have you ever discovered that this city seems solid, but the city wall is hollow?"

When the generals heard this, they nodded. In recent days, many soldiers accidentally entered it, some died directly inside, and some crawled out.

A general suddenly said, "It's better to send someone to carry a heavy hammer in tomorrow and open a gap at the other end of the city wall. We can send troops to rush into the sand!"

Since the city wall is not as strong as imagined, the city gate is difficult to break open, so it is better to attack the city wall directly. Anyway, it is hollow. As long as people enter, the other party can't attack. They can fight to bombard the city wall. As long as there is a gap, it is equivalent to opening a door for Cao's army to rush in.

Another general smiled and said, "More than that, we can set the thunder chariot farther away without attacking the enemy on the city wall, just keep bombarding the gap in the city wall!"

In this way, the gap in the city wall can be continuously enlarged so that people can easily rush in. As long as the city wall can be drilled through, the army can enter at any time.

"Good!" Cao Ren nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "Transfer to me to mobilize three hundred heavy hammer soldiers tomorrow, and order the shield hands to protect the heavy hammer soldiers and rush into the enemy wall!"

The plan was decided, and the generals of Cao's army began to leave, and they would not mention it when they went down.

The next morning, Meng Da, who was about to welcome Cao's army to attack again, found that Cao's army seemed to have regained its rationality today, and did not go crazy like before, so he rushed up. The opponent's catapult cart began to slowly push forward under the protection of the shield soldiers. The rows of Cao's soldiers did not rush up directly, but arranged troops under the pass.

I felt relieved silently. If Cao's army resumed its previous routine, this Guancheng should be able to defend Shangyong's troops to come to provide assistance.

"General, this distance is wrong!" A general suddenly said to Meng Da: "According to the location of the enemy's catapult cart, I'm afraid I can't hit this place, and at most it can hit the city wall."

Meng Da was also a little confused. What does this mean? Cao Ren should not make such a low-level mistake.

As he was talking, the other party's catapult car had already begun to rush towards the city wall.

"Boom boom boom boom~"

The continuous bombardment hit the city wall. The city wall under her feet was shaking, but none of them hit.

Meng Da lay down beside the female wall and looked down, understanding the other party's plan. He saw that the city wall was hollow, so he wanted to collapse the city wall directly?

only……

Looking back at the solid city wall newly built by Liu Yi in the rear, somehow Meng Da began to observe silently for these Cao troops.

Originally, when Liu Yi started to build a solid city wall, Meng Da felt that it was unnecessary and it was not necessary. But now it seems that Liu Yi's cautious approach has undoubtedly saved the city again. In Liu Yi's words, the more comprehensive the preparation and the more considerate the consideration, the greater the chance of victory. It seems that there is still some truth.

Cao's army's catapult continued to bombard the city wall, and the broken cement pieces were whizzing down. However, although it was a hollow city wall, it also had extremely strong attributes. Cao's thunderbolt chariots continued to bombard for a day before barely connecting the gaps together, but it was impossible to continue the attack.

Meng Da took the defenders to watch this for a day without stopping, nor was he able to stop it. There were only so many soldiers in the city. If he really fought out, he would be swallowed by Cao's army in a minute. So he had no intention of stopping it and was powerless to stop anything, just pretending to be a show.

Cao Ren was also helpless and left a team of men to monitor him, so that the defenders would not have the opportunity to repair overnight. He withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, preparing to use a rushing car to escort the heavy hammer soldiers into the gap tomorrow and destroy the city wall.

"Sir, can this city wall be used?" After Cao's army withdrew, Meng Da found Liu Yi, told him about Cao's army today, and asked Liu Yi.

"If you want to attack from inside, it is impossible." Liu Yi shook his head when he heard this. The cement had not dried yet, but the new solid city wall was made close to the original hollow city wall. It was 1 meter wide. The city wall in front was so broken. That was because the wall completely bears all the strength. But here, there is a new city wall behind it. Unless the other party uses a pickaxe or something to dig out a path and get heavy hammers... wash and go to bed.

"Then the people entering the city wall don't have to worry about it?" Meng Da said with a gaze.
