Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start - Chapter 487
Chapter 497 Who Is The Hunter? Who Is The Prey?
The night wind blows rustling in the mountains and forests.
Yuwen Chengdu and Qu Yi stood in the dark and looked at Cao Cao’s camp with a hint of worry on their faces.
Five or six days have passed, but Cao Cao’s food supply has still not been found. It seems that the food and grass they brought this time are enough to support them to finish the battle.
“General Yuwen, we can’t sit still and continue to look for food supplies, otherwise the city doesn’t know if we can hold on? Why should we make some trouble for Cao Cao and say hello.
“Let them know that Yanyun’s Eighteen Cavalry and Xian Dengbing are not vegetarians.
Seeing the fire in Cao Ying, Qu Yi opened his mouth and suggested.
But just after he finished speaking, Yuwen Chengcheng shook his head directly: “No, Cao Cao doesn’t know where we are now, and he doesn’t even know if we are in Jiangling City. Taking the initiative to attack is not exposing our hiding place. ?
“If he knew about us, he would hide by his side. Even if he really needed to transport food and grass, he would send heavy troops to guard him. We would waste more time if we wanted to rob him.
“We are now like hunters hiding in the dark, we need to be patient with the prey, and only when we beat the prey can we catch it better.
I have to say that the metaphor of Yuwen Chengdu is very appropriate, and even Qu Yi agreed in his heart.
But remembering the current predicament of Jiangling City, he said again: “But when will we wait? If Jiangling City is broken ahead of schedule, what’s the point of us doing this?
Yu Wencheng was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of confidence appeared on his face: “Don’t worry, General Wenpin will not be defeated so easily, we will never be able to take action until the last moment.
“You can get more information by hiding in the dark!”
Kou Yi nodded helplessly, and did not speak too much.
The two looked at Cao Jun’s camp before turning around and entering the forest after a while.
vertical day.
When the sky is white with fish belly and the sun dyes the earth golden.
Cao Cao’s camp was once again lively.
They were divided into batches and conducted an offensive and defensive drill for Gangneung City again.
More than 10,000 people charged at a very fast speed, and they moved forward bravely like an overwhelmed sea.
When Huang Zhong on the city wall saw this scene, he became even more nervous.
Every time Cao Jun’s attack made him feel a strong threat, but they kept turning back, not even a tentative attack.
Is this a trial again?
Not only did Huang Zhong think this way, but the soldiers behind him were also not soldiers.
Yesterday’s day of being tricked made the vigilance in the hearts of all the soldiers to the lowest level.
Holding the same thought, they also believed that today’s Cao Cao was still bluffing and did not dare to attack at all.
Therefore, many soldiers did not even pick up bows and arrows.
Suddenly swept across the faces of these soldiers, seeing their relaxed appearance, Huang Zhong secretly said that it was not good.
If Cao Cao really launched an attack in this state, wouldn’t he be beaten all at once and rub his hands together?
“Everyone listen, take up arms, call up your partners, and the enemy’s attack will be when you are the most relaxed.”
Perhaps in order to verify Huang Zhong’s words, after reaching outside the attack range of the bow and arrow this time, those Cao soldiers did not turn away, but ran towards the root of the city wall more quickly.
Huang Zhong’s face was shocked by such a change, and the soldiers behind him never expected that the city walls would become a pot of porridge for a while, and the tacit cooperation of the previous days had also disappeared.
Huang Zhong hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow in his hand and shouted loudly: “Don’t panic, don’t mess up!
“The archers aim and shoot, and the rest take down the stones and smash them down in batches, don’t repeat!! 99
Huang Zhong’s huge roar made the hearts of these defenders move.
The guards who were still in a panic the next moment also calmed down.
They seemed to have regained their former vigour, the archers were shooting arrows, and the rest were attacking the approaching ladders.
Under the interlaced, Cao’s casualties are naturally not small.
Regardless of Cao Jun’s several days of training, his physical fitness and execution have also improved a lot.
Therefore, although they were damaged, they did not give up and still tried to attack the city wall.
After only a quarter of an hour, the sound of gold ringing behind him sounded again.
Without any hesitation, Cao Jun retreated directly to the back.
Huang Zhong, who had been worried all the time, finally lost his breath at this moment.
He had a feeling that this attack was nothing but a tentative attack, and everything seemed to be as Wenpin had expected last night. The soldiers’ vigilance was completely disappearing, which was a very bad result for him.
Because these things are not under his control, as the attacking side, there is no pressure, and he can attack at any time and retreat at any time, but as the defending side, no matter which attack, he needs to play 12 points of spirit.
In the long run, this vigilance will definitely weaken a lot.
In the distance, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai also watched this attack.
If it was according to Cao Cao’s intention, this time he would definitely continue to attack and decide the winner, but at the critical moment, Xi Zhicai had to stop it.
It seemed that he could also sense Cao Cao’s doubtful state of mind, and Xi Zhicai said softly: “々 Duke Ming, have you forgotten the primary purpose of our coming out this time?”
“That will kill the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun. If this Jiangling City is taken down at this moment, then the Eighteenth Horsemen of Yanyun will be like fish into the sea (with Qian Zhao), who will be able to catch them? 99
“What’s more, if you want to take Jiangling City at this moment, the casualties are too great, so it is completely unnecessary.
After Cao Cao heard this, his face was suddenly enlightened. Just now, he was a little seduced by Jiangling City!
“Sir is very true, what he said is very true!”
He said both sides with one face, it seemed to be sighing, and it seemed to have other flavors.
Xi Zhicai glanced at the distant horizon and said slowly: “Ming Gong, the food and grass can be delivered!”
“kindness?”
When Cao Cao heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face: “It’s finally time to start!”
Both sides are taking each other as their prey, but in the end, who will have the upper hand and who will become the prey in the battle, no one can know.
In short, a hunter and prey hunting game also kicked off at this moment!!!.
