Great Wei Nengchen

The fact that the [-] Cao troops did not break out of the siege shows that they have the confidence to hold on, that is to say, there are sufficient ordnance, food, grass, and drinking water in the camp. This is impossible, unless...

"Woo!--Woo!"

"Kill!--kill!"

"My lord, the Cao army has broken out, and there are shouts of killing from all directions. It is difficult to judge the direction of the breakout!"

"Okay, order all the soldiers to hold the line of defense firmly. If Cao Jun approaches, just shoot back with a bow and crossbow. Don't fight with them, lest Cao Jun take the opportunity to escape!"

"promise!"

While being suspicious, there was a sudden shout of killing from the defense line. It turned out that Cao Jun had broken through in the middle of the night. Zhuge Liang was not surprised but delighted. He personally stood at a high place to command and watched the situation of the entire battlefield!

It seemed that Cao Jun finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke through with all his strength, and there were also shouts of killing from the direction of Tucheng. It was Deng Ai who sent troops to attack the Wugang chariot formation, trying to drive Xiao Xuan away. When they came out, the two cooperated quite tacitly!

It's a pity, if Xiao Xuan had led his troops to break through on the first day of the siege, there might still be some hope, but now it's too late!

For three days, the Shu army strengthened the defense line day and night, built barriers, dug trenches, and there were many tripping ropes, horse pits, and horse spikes...all over the defense line, and there was no gap left. If you try your best to break through, you will only hit your head and bleed!

Moreover, the Shu army had been prepared for a long time, and all the soldiers stood firm on the defense line. There was a loud cry of killing, and the crossbowmen went there to support them.

…………

"Wan Sheng!... The great man is Wan Sheng!... Prime Minister Zhuge is Wan Sheng!"

At dawn, the shouts of killing gradually stopped. Cao Jun failed to break through the siege, and retreated to the camp. The cheers of the Shu army sounded from the defense line, celebrating another victory for a while!

However, after a night of fierce fighting, the Shu army consumed more than 50 arrows, accounting for more than half of the storage capacity. There is no way, the Zhuge Lianzhu crossbow is powerful, the consumption speed is also very fast, and the demand for logistics is even greater. This is also impossible. One of the reasons for the large-scale equipment of the Shu army!

At dawn, Zhuge Liang personally inspected the line of defense to boost the morale of the soldiers of the Shu army. By the way, he checked the results of the night's fierce battle!

Looking around, there are clusters of arrows everywhere on the battlefield, as well as weapons, shields, and flags discarded by Cao Jun...stained with blood, staining the ground red, it seems that Cao Jun suffered heavy casualties, but there are very few corpses left, that is, more than 1000 They all looked like hedgehogs!

This is not surprising, Cao Jun has always had the habit of "leaving no corpses, and sending the dead back to their hometowns for burial". It is estimated that when Cao Jun retreated, he took most of the corpses back. More than 2 people!

Sure enough, there were fireworks in Cao Ying, and there was a smell of burnt barbecue. It seemed that the corpses of the war dead were being cremated. After all, in the hot summer, so many corpses cannot be preserved, and it is easy to cause plague , cremation is the best choice.

Moreover, after a failed breakout, Cao Jun's spirit was frustrated, and his drinking water was basically exhausted. It was difficult to launch a second breakout.

"Order all the officers and men to continue guarding the line of defense. No one is allowed to underestimate the enemy's carelessness. It must be known that a journey of a hundred miles is half a ninety, so don't fail in the end!"

"promise!"

At this point in the battle, the Shu army has won ninety-nine percent, but Zhuge Liang is still a bit worried. What is worried is not people, but heaven!

Don't forget, the southwestern region is hot and rainy. Although it has not entered the rainy season yet, there is still a possibility of rain. Once God really gives water, the besieged Cao army will survive, and the plan of the Shu army will fail. up!

Zhuge Liang knew astronomy and geography from the top, and he had observed the sky before the decisive battle. There will be no rain for a while, so he decided to implement the encirclement plan. Don't worry until you confirm it again!

After re-strengthening the line of defense, Prince Liang took his attendants to the field to observe the situation in detail. Is there any sign of rain?

Look at the sky, the dragonfly is not flying low!

Look at the ground, the ants are not in the way!

Look at the water, the fish didn't jump out of the water!

Finally, look in the corner, the spiders weave horizontal webs!

…………

There are various indications that in the next seven or eight days, there will be no drop of rain in the Dingjun Mountain area, and it will all be sunny and sunny, and the besieged Cao Jun will not last for three days.

"Haha, the Empress Dowager protects you, this time the Northern Expedition wins, and I, a big man, will be able to rejuvenate!"

"Those who work hard will live up to the sky, and those who have aspirations can achieve things...haha!"

The hanging heart was finally let go, Zhuge Chang knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing thanks to the empress, tears of joy flowed out, he had put in all kinds of hard work, and now he would finally be rewarded.

However, I was still a little worried, not worried about the battle situation in front of me, but worried about whether Xiao Xuan would be shot to death by Lianzhu arrows during the fierce battle last night, then he would not be able to capture him alive!

But looking at the direction of Cao Ying, there was no large-scale commotion, which meant that Xiao Xuan was still alive and well, otherwise the three armies lost command, and people's hearts would have been in turmoil long ago.

After capturing Xiao Xuan alive, what kind of etiquette should he be treated with, and what should he exchange this living treasure with his father?

Ask for 100 cities, [-] million dendrobium grain and grass, or the entire land of Hanzhong... It is not easy for Xiao Yi to raise an heir, he must pay a lot of money, right?

Ever since the war between the two armies started, Zhuge Liang had worked day and night on military affairs and hadn't slept at all. Now that he was in a good mood, he felt drowsy, so he hurried back to his tent to rest and had a sweet dream!

I dreamed that I commanded an army and captured Hanzhong and Guanzhong... Swept across the Central Plains, captured Cao Pi and Sun Quan alive, and welcomed Liu Chan to Luoyang City, revived the Han Dynasty again, and solemnly paid homage to the ancestors of the Han family... …until awakened by a wolf howl!

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the time for a decisive battle was ripe, but before sending troops for a decisive battle, Zhuge Liang wanted to persuade him to surrender, and it was best to deal with Cao Jun in the encirclement without bloodshed!

"Whizzing!"

Thousands of letters of persuasion written long ago were shot into Cao Yingzhong with crossbow arrows. There are roughly two types of content:

One is to advise Xiao Xuan, as long as he is willing to come out and surrender, he will let others live. I hope he will not kill tens of thousands of Cao Jun soldiers for his own selfishness!

Zhuge Liang also guaranteed in his capacity as Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty that after Xiao Xuan surrendered, he would not be insulted verbally or physically.

The purpose of doing this is to prevent Xiao Xuan from slaying himself with a horizontal sword, so that there will be no hostages available.

The second is to tell Cao Jun in the encirclement that whoever can capture Xiao Xuan alive and offer it to Prime Minister Zhuge will be promoted to three ranks, rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels, and given the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!

When people are in a desperate situation, they are most likely to commit betrayal. With a little temptation, the possibility will expand infinitely. Who doesn't want to get promoted and get rich?

Logically speaking, Cao Jun suffered heavy casualties, was thirsty for several days, and was already on the verge of collapse. As long as he saw these letters, it would be like dry wood touching a raging fire, and a fire would ignite in an instant!

Either Xiao Xuan bound his arms and came out to surrender voluntarily, or he was tied up by the rebellious subordinates and offered to the tent!

But most of the day passed, and there was no movement in Cao Jun's camp. There was no civil strife, no one came out to surrender, and there was not even a little commotion. What's going on?

Only in the afternoon, Cao Yingzhong finally shot a crossbow arrow, with a reply letter tied on it, which read, "Private Prime Minister Zhuge, please send me yours!" '

The soldiers of Shu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly sent them to the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhuge Liang opened it to watch, and there was only one line on it:

'Thanks to the great love, dare not obey orders, if the prime minister surrenders, treat each other with courtesy! '

Chapter 1674 Decisive Battle at Dingjun Mountain! (Nine)

Xiao Xuan wrote back and refused to surrender. This was expected. After all, it is the seed of the 'No. [-] God of Killing in the World'. It is not surprising that it has a bit of staunchness. It would be strange if it was a soft bone. In the first ten months, did Mrs. Cao Jie often go out with excuses?

But Xiao Xuan's rejection was too straightforward and confident, as if everything was under his control, which made the generals of the Shu army doubt whether Xiao Xuan was putting on airs, or was he really confident?

It is said that words are born from the heart, Zhuge Liang held the letter in his hand, read it more than ten times, and felt the charm between the lines, but the more he read it, the more frightened he was!

Vigorous and powerful, with a penetrating charm, there is also a sense of pride, joy, and teasing. People with guilty consciences will never be able to write such characters!
