Xun Yu was called "the most talented person among kings", how could he be considered an ordinary person?
When Jing's army rushed to Ye Jing, they did not rush to attack, but stalled for time under the city. This is a bit abnormal. The Jing army is far away and cannot last long, and there are reinforcements from Youzhou on the way. Logically, they should attack fiercely to seize the city. Xun Yu expected that there would be an ambush outside, waiting for his dispatch.
He decisively ordered the army to get ready and wait for orders before dispatching.
Zhu Ling said with some confusion: "Now that Jing's army is approaching the city and is in danger, why haven't our troops moved out yet? If Jing's army uses sky-blasting cannons to break through the city, it will be too late!"
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Don't increase their ambition and destroy your own prestige. Although the Jing army has a sky-blasting cannon, it only has one. Behind the high walls of Ye Jing City, it is impossible to defeat them in a single battle. We pose a danger to them outside. They dare not attack the city with all their strength, so as to delay the time and wait for reinforcements. At this moment, the Jing army is encircling Wei and not attacking. This is a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, forcing us to move out, and then intercept and kill us halfway. If we are completely wiped out, the Jing army can use all its strength Attack the city. By then, Ye Jing will be in danger!"
Zhu Ling suddenly realized: "Congratulations, Prime Minister!"
Lu Zhao asked: "Then when will we send troops?"
"No hurry!" Xun Yu said, "We can only send troops after Jing's army attacks the city in a large scale. If Jing's army doesn't move, we won't move."
"Here!" they both said in unison.
…
When Xun Yu didn't appear, Zhang Liao asked Zhuge Liang, "Commander, what should we do if Xun Yu doesn't move?"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "If Wen Ruo has the talent of being a king's assistant, he is indeed worthy of his reputation. He must have seen my plan. But what can he do if he sees it? General, order the Che Barracks and the Kecheng Heavy Crossbow to go out together and borrow sharp weapons. We have the potential to launch a fierce attack. The walls of Yejing City are high and thick, so we cut off the shell layer by layer, forcing Xun Yu to send troops. This is a conspiracy. What can Xun Yu do if he knows it is a plan?"
Zhang Ren said: "What if Xun Yu can't insist?"
Zhuge Liang confidently said: "Xun Yu could calm down and not send troops, but Cao Pi could not."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
So Zhang Liao ordered the chariot camp and the heavy crossbow camp to prepare.
Twenty trebuchets and thirty Kecheng heavy crossbows were lined up in two rows at the north gate of Yejing City. Just the huge body posture of the trebuchet made the Wei army at the top of the city take a breath of cold air.
Cao Ren squinted at this big guy, feeling chilled in his heart.
The soldiers standing at the main north gate were all trembling. They were like ants in front of flying stones. Standing here was tantamount to committing suicide by waiting for death. The nobles secretly looked at Cao Ren with longing eyes, hoping that he would order the withdrawal of the city. Order.
How could Cao Ren not know what they were thinking?
But how dare they withdraw their soldiers at the top of the city? If the Wei army invades the city, they will have no time to react. Knowing that waiting at the top of the city would lead to death, they had no choice but to let them hold on.
"put--!"
After receiving Zhang Liao's order, Qian Chun waved the flag without hesitation.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The earth made a heavy sound, and the boulders were thrown up and smashed towards the city head with a terrifying roar.
The terrifying rain of arrows also roared towards the city.
A moment later, there was a terrifying crash sound on the city top of Ye Jing, with gravel flying and dust flying. The high and thick city wall was exploded by the terrifying power of flying rocks, and shocking large pieces were blasted out of the city wall. pit.
At the same time, it also reflects the thickness of Ye Jing City.
Huge deep pits appeared on the wall, and all the surrounding areas were cracked, but the city wall still stood solidly, but in the cracks in the huge pits, blood slowly flowed out, dyeing the city wall red.
"Prepare for the second round!"
Qian Chun shouted so loudly that the people on the top of the city could hear him.
This is the psychological pressure exerted.
When Cao Ren heard the preparations for the second round, his heart sank suddenly. He glanced at the soldiers who had just defended the Zhengbei Gate. Almost none of them were alive. He wanted to order the next wave of soldiers to defend, but his throat was so hoarse that he could not speak. .
He looked toward Xun Yu's camp, but he saw no soldiers and horses coming out to rescue him.
Far away in the imperial city.
When Cao Pi heard the earth-shattering noise outside, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and ordered his men to go to the top of the city to inquire about the situation. After learning about the tragic fighting situation in the north of the city, he hurriedly asked: "Has the Prime Minister's army been dispatched?"
The servant shook his head: "The gate of the village is tightly closed, and not a single soldier has been dispatched."
Cao Pi was anxious: "Jing's army has begun to attack the city. Why hasn't the Prime Minister's army been dispatched? What is he waiting for?"
The servant hurriedly knelt down.
Cao Pi kicked the servant angrily and said, "Go, send someone out of the city and send an order to the prime minister to lead the army out as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
The man went down in a hurry.
Xun Yu had long known that the Jing army had begun to use long-range equipment to attack the city on a large scale, but he did not use troops and horses. He only used advanced equipment to attack from a distance. Under such circumstances, he did not dare to send troops.
But there is no way to persist like this. No matter how thick the walls of Ye Jing City are, they cannot withstand such a ferocious attack.
"Prime Minister!"
Zhu Ling hurried over and handed over the secret message in his hand: "His Royal Highness's handwritten message."
Xun Yu frowned: "Urge us to send troops?"
Zhu Ling: "Yes."
"What's going on with Jingjun?"
Zhu Ling's expression was ugly: "The soldiers and horses are still stationary, using the trebuchets to attack from a distance. However, the trebuchets in the city have also begun to fight back. However, our range cannot reach them."
Xun Yu's face was tense, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched inadvertently.
The only thing is to get beaten!
If we continue to fight so passively, the city of Ye Jing will be breached before reinforcements arrive. Xun Yu looked in the direction of Ye Jing City. The earth-shattering sound resounded through the sky. His heart sank as well, and he quickly thought about countermeasures.
Jingjun's weapons are too powerful. The only thing that can be done to break this situation is to destroy these weapons of Jingjun. Only in this way can the gap between the two sides be narrowed and the current situation be stabilized and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and planned carefully.
After a while, Xun Yu half-raised his hand and said to Zhu Ling: "General Zhu! I will reply to His Highness the Crown Prince now and tell him that I have a plan in mind. Please don't be anxious."
"Here!" Zhu Ling took the order.
"Lu Zhao!" Xun Yu continued to order, "I order you to select three hundred elites from the army. I want the elites among the elites. I will first give each of them a hundred taels of silver and many times the amount of kerosene. I have a lot of money." use."
"One...one hundred taels?" Lu Zhao thought he heard wrongly.
"Yes! One hundred taels."
Xun Yu emphasized his tone, stared at Lu Zhao and said, "Tell them that these one hundred taels are just a reward before taking action. When the task is completed, I will give each of them another four hundred taels!"
Lu Zhao took a breath.
This treatment is too good. In total, each person can get five hundred taels of silver. This is like earning the rest of his life's money in one night.
