"Zhang Bao?"
"I heard a while ago that he was busy fighting the Japanese in Dongzhou, and he was also building ships and so on."
"There has been no news from Zhang Bao for a while."
"But you shouldn't have to worry, right?"
"Even if Zhang Bao comes, he doesn't have enough troops. It would be good to have tens of thousands of troops. What can they be used for at this time?"
Cao De shook his head.
"Um……"
"Indeed, there are no troops in Dongzhou or Huizhou that Zhang Bao can directly use. After all, they just captured them there, so they are no match at all."
Cao Kang nodded.
"so be it."
"Tell the soldiers guarding the city not to be careless tonight. Fan Hanzhong has always been crafty. He may have deliberately paralyzed us, and then brought his troops to sneak attack in advance."
"At this time, we must not be careless!"
Cao Kang said to Cao De.
Cao De nodded, stood up and walked out.
In fact, there is no need for Cao Kang to say that Cao De has been on the city wall recently. Originally, he was the great Sima of Dawei, and it was natural for him to lead the generals.
Secondly, for Cao De.
If the capital city is lost, there may be some hope for other people, but for him, it will definitely not survive.
At this time, you have to fight hard no matter what.
at the same time.
Cao De personally watched on the city wall, and he could also tell those troops that they were always with him, so that they would not defect before the battle.
And this time, maybe it's the last time.
If they can be blocked, then their big counterattack will follow, and there may not be any more threats from Zhang Bao and the others in the future.
If it can't be stopped, there probably won't be a future.
Cao De stood on the tall city wall and looked outside.
Since their establishment, their great empire has had a really bad life.
Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have already faced two attacks on the city!
I wonder which country's capital has ever suffered such a shameful humiliation?
Maybe the choice I made back then was wrong?
But that’s right!
At that time, for them, it had always happened naturally and was forced by the situation, but they had no idea that the good Dawei would become like this in just one year.
Their great towers are like duckweeds built on water, with no foundation.
It is destined to suffer wind and rain.
After this incident is over, we must develop people's livelihood well.
Even if a country has sufficient military strength, without the support and composition of the people, it is indeed too difficult.
From this aspect, Zhang Bao can develop rapidly only because he has the foundation of Hezhou. No matter what he does, he has the support from Hezhou. This may be the difference.
Cao De shook his head and sighed softly.
Walk towards the gate tower next to it.
…
Early the next morning.
After a night's rest, Fan Hanzhong led his troops into four groups and headed toward the capital.
After the four groups of people met in the capital, they blocked the four city gates.
For Fan Hanzhong now, the best way is to concentrate his superior forces and launch a fierce attack on a city gate.
But Fan Hanzhong still took measures to encircle him.
The purpose is to put maximum pressure on the garrison in the capital.
And now, they don't need to buy time like Ma Yaohan did before.
Fan Hanzhong is not in a hurry now.
Even if it can be captured without attacking, it would be the best way for them.
"Where's Cao Kang?"
"Please come out and speak!"
Fan Hanzhong, one man and one horse, came to a place a stone's throw away and stood there, shouting at the city gate.
"General Fan, what is our emperor's status?"
"You want to talk to our emperor, but your identity is not enough!"
"Go and call Zhang Bao!"
Cao De shouted to Fan Hanzhong from the city gate.
For Cao De.
He knew that talking useless nonsense at this time would be beneficial to Fan Hanzhong and the others.
So he didn't save any face for Fan Hanzhong.
In front of everyone, he just said that Fan Hanzhong was Zhang Bao's general.
Even if Fan Hanzhong now has 300,000 troops, he still has to surrender under the hands of a young man.
"Hahaha!"
"I actually want to ask where Cao Kang wants his body to be buried after the city is destroyed."
"But it seems that Cao Kang doesn't care much about his body, so so be it."
"Everyone, follow the order and attack!"
Fan Hanzhong stepped back with a smile.
He ordered to his men.
No matter what, a tentative attack must be carried out to take a look at the current defensive situation in the city.
Fan Hanzhong and the others only conducted reconnaissance a hundred miles away from the capital and did not find any other ambushes, but there was no guarantee that they would be hiding a hundred miles away.
After a snare drum.
Fan Hanzhong's men and horses divided into four directions and surged up towards the city wall like a tide.
But there was no response from the city wall.
Fan Hanzhong frowned and looked at it.
It stands to reason that at this time, the defenders on the city wall should have fired arrows, but they did not, which was weird.
"Order!"
"Stop, be on guard!"
Fan Hanzhong sniffed the smell in the air and said quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the drums immediately changed.
The soldiers who were rushing forward stopped one after another.
The soldiers who were originally sandwiched in the middle, carrying the siege ladder, all retreated towards the back.
Those in the middle holding shields squeezed to the front, forming a defense in front.
The rest of the people pointed their bows and arrows at the city wall.
In this way, a circle of encirclement was formed outside the city wall.
"broken!"
"Why did they stop!"
"Sir, what should we do?"
"This stuff is already cooked."
A general guarding the city said to Cao De.
"Asshole!"
"We are about to reach the bottom of the city tower. If they don't get close, this kind of thing will have no effect at all!"
Cao De looked at the pots of golden juice boiling down below and was very upset.
Fan Hanzhong's side.
"General!"
"Now that our troops are within their shooting range, should we withdraw first?"
One of the generals also asked Fan Hanzhong nervously.
The situation on the field now is very strange.
It was clear that Fan Hanzhong's troops were about to rush to the city wall.
But stopped.
However, there were no defensive soldiers on the city wall.
"No!"
"Just wait!"
"Our bows and arrows are currently facing the city wall. Although we are in their shooting range, they are also in our shooting range!"
"I want to see what they do next!"
Fan Hanzhong looked in the direction of the city wall and said slowly.
