Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 439
"It's just that with our current strength and morale, leaving the customs is no different from death. If we want to change from active to passive, I'm afraid there is no such condition."

Yan Yan also wanted to lead his troops into Cao Jun's camp, but the reason why they are still able to persist is because they firmly occupy the unique and huge geographical advantage of Jianmen Pass.

Once they gave up such natural danger, they had no way to fight Cao Jun head-on.

"It's impossible to fight, and it's not easy to defend, old general, we don't have much time left."

Zhang Ren's face turned red when he heard this, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

After holding on for so many days, he just wanted to rush out and fight Cao Jun. Even if he died in battle, he would have no regrets. He just didn't want to wait so anxiously.

"I know, but we may have overlooked a problem. In any case, as long as we firmly guard the Jianmen pass, even if Cao Cao mobilizes thousands of troops, he can only slowly accumulate corpses at the pass. There is no other way. It can threaten us. Therefore, Cao Cao’s holding back now is more likely to be suspicious, and they have no other plans at all. Cao Cao must be trying to let the soldiers recharge their batteries. Launch a one-hit kill attack."

Yan Yan suddenly changed the subject and said sharply.

He was also inspired by Zhang Ren's words just now, "We don't need Cao thief to do anything, we will fall first."

"What does the old general mean?"

Zhang Ren had some understanding, but he still didn't dare to completely let go.

"Rectify the soldiers and horses, let's take a good rest, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry and command the soldiers and horses to attack Jianmen Pass."

Yan Yan gave a rare smile and felt relieved looking at the green mountains.

At noon, inside the Jianmen Pass, smoke curls up from cooking stoves and the aroma of rice lingers.

Although there are still soldiers and horses guarding the Guanlou closely, under the flags fluttering in the wind, compared with the breathless a few days ago, the expressions of the Yizhou Army officers and soldiers are much more relaxed now.

Cao Jun's camp was also full of smoke.

The situation of Cao Jun was just as Yan Yan expected, no additional training was carried out, and everyone was hurrying to recuperate and restore their physical strength, only the sound of chopping and sawing wood frequently sounded from time to time in the depths of the camp.

In Cao Cao's tent, Cheng Yu's beard was gray, and his brows were furrowed into deep grooves. He couldn't help sighing, "Yan Yan is very experienced, and most of the lord's suspicious tactics have been seen through by him. Now the Yizhou soldiers are all like me. The soldiers are also recovering their physical strength. It is not easy to make them make mistakes in the pressure. After all, they also know that as long as we firmly guard the Jianmen Pass, it will be difficult for us to threaten them in a short time. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao looked at the disappointed and depressed looks of the generals, but laughed three times, and said: "Why are you so sleepy? How can my strategy be so easily defeated by a mountain of people?" The old man can see through."

Seeing everyone looking at him suspiciously, Cao Cao said with a sneer: "Yan Yan can be regarded as a top-ranking general in the world, especially because of his stable personality and seasoned experience. It is indeed very suitable for Fazheng to let him station at Jianmen Pass." But because of this, it is easier to be tricked by me. Now he has entered my trap step by step. You don't have to worry, rectify the troops and go out to fight at any time!"

"My lord is as resourceful as the sea, so the old man Yan Yan is naturally no match."

The generals next to him quickly complimented that they really believed that what Cao Cao just said was the truth, and he didn't know that Yan Yan had been tricked.

Only Cheng Yu forced a smile. After all the generals retreated, he wanted to ask Cao Cao several times, but he hesitated to speak out.

"Zhongde feels that what I just said is just to stabilize the morale of the army."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes into a thin slit, still knelt in his seat, looked up at Cheng Yu who was still hesitating and asked.

"My lord's strategy is beyond my reach. Forgive me for being stupid. I don't know the lord's trick yet."

Although Cheng Yu didn't admit it directly, that's what he thought in his heart.

He knew that Cao Jun's soldiers and horses did not have any mobilization and deployment, so it could be concluded that Cao Cao did not seem to be prepared at all.

"Break this barrier, today."

Cao Cao got up abruptly, went to the side and grabbed the lying sword, and then the sword came out of its sheath with a "swoosh", looked back at Cheng Yu and said decisively.

Cao Cao didn't wait for Cheng Yu's reaction or inquiry, and ordered all the generals to dispatch troops and horses immediately to attack Jianmen Pass as soon as they left the camp.

"Report! Cao's army suddenly attacked. The offensive is very urgent. Please invite two generals to supervise the battle!"

Inside Jianmen Pass, Yan Yan and Zhang Rencai had just stepped down from the city wall to eat the lunch they had already made. They never thought that when they picked up their chopsticks, they were shocked by the news of the frightened guard.

"Quick, everyone, bring your weapons and follow me!"

Without any hesitation, Yan Yan led the hungry and exhausted soldiers back to the city wall.

"No, is it true that Cao Cao really wants to fight us to the death, and use soldiers and horses to fill up the natural danger of Jianmen Pass?"

Seeing Cao Jun's whole army attacking fiercely, it was not an ordinary fight at all, Yan Yan's palms were sweating, and he was holding the sword tightly around his waist, it was hard to figure it out.

"Old general, the Cao bandits really came prepared. They just lengthened all the ladders in just a few days, and they can already threaten our closed building."

Next to him, Zhang Ren drew his bow and shot arrows without missing a beat. Looking at the rows of ladders that had obviously been lengthened, he said with some surprise.

Yan Yan had long seen these ladders that could reach their tower, but the sadness on his face disappeared. He smiled slightly and said: "Hahaha, I also wondered what the thief Cao was planning after being quiet for so many days. It turned out to be nothing more than this. .Did Cao Cao think that if the ladder was lengthened, they would be able to climb up directly? Hmph, how naive!"

The unknown is terrifying. Now that I know Cao Cao's secret plans, although these ladders really pose a great threat to them, and even many Cao soldiers are about to climb to the Guanlou, Yan Yan Relaxed, all the worries of these days disappeared immediately.

"Let them climb up, I want them to know what it means to climb higher and fall harder!"

Yan Yan couldn't help but laugh loudly when he saw the crowds of people crowded together in the pass.

Zhang Ren next to him immediately understood and led the surrounding soldiers back. He put down his weapon at such a juncture and picked up the extremely inconspicuous long bamboo piled beside him.

These bamboos are all cut from mature Moso bamboo, thick and strong, long and heavy, one section is shaved soft and smooth for easy handling, and the other section has a long sharp fork.

Cao Jun's shouts of killing shook the sky, but Yan Yan remained calm and kept directing the soldiers to throw rolling stones and logs. Although Cao Jun had large shields for defense, many people were still killed when they were thrown from such a high height.

Seeing that countless soldiers of Cao Jun were hanging on the ladder, Yan Yan's eyes lit up, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "Poke!"
