Chapter 258
"King!"
"Please lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack, and the minister will step on the enemy camp and capture Liu Bei alive!"
A young and heroic military general asked for battle.
Cao Cao glanced at it, and the young military general was Ma Chao.
When Guanzhong was pacified, Ma Teng led the Ma family army to surrender to the Han court, and the sons of the Ma family also surrendered to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao soon discovered that Ma Teng, the eldest son, had the courage of Lu Bu!
Cao Cao, who loves talent like life, naturally likes Ma Chao very much, and he is promoted and reused.
Ma Chao also lived up to Cao Cao's trust, and made great contributions in the war to pacify Liangzhou and capture Hanzhong later.
"Meng Qi, this king knows that you are brave, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under your command is also brave and good at fighting. "
"But the big-eared thief has an army of 300,000, and there is a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, and now we need to be patient. "
"There's a chance for you to play early in the evening. "
Cao Cao gently pacified and suppressed Ma Chao's desire to fight.
Ma Chao reluctantly retreated.
"The king's concern is that I am in Weikou City, but I am afraid that I will not be able to resist Liu Bei's Xiangyang cannon. "
Guo Jia's face was also clouded.
For a while, anxiety permeated the Qin State's ministers and generals.
"The king, the minister has a plan, maybe he will make the big-eared thief's Xiangyang cannon useless!"
A confident voice interrupted everyone's worries.
The person who spoke was none other than Sima Yi.
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Zhongda's good plan?"
"It's the middle of winter, and we can..."
Sima Yi's face was confident, unhurried, and he told his good plan.
Cao Cao's spirits were greatly lifted, and he praised: "Zhongda's plan is really imaginative, comparable to that Xiao Yuan, it is really a wonderful plan!"
"Zhongda's plan is indeed feasible. "
Guo Jia also praised.
The clouds on Cao Cao's face dissipated, and he shouted: "Xu Huang listens to the order!"
"The minister is here!"
Xu Huang stepped forward.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and act according to Zhongda's plan, and this king must do it tonight!"
"Obey orders!"
Xu Huang was ordered to retire.
Cao Cao's eyes looked at the Xiangyang cannons rising from the ground in the Han camp again, and a sneer hooked the corner of his mouth.
"Liu Bei, don't think that there is no one in our army."
"If you want to break my Weikou City with Xiangyang cannons, I will let you see the methods of this king!"
...
Next.
The wind is cold and the clouds are thick.
The door of the Han camp was wide open, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers left the camp in an orderly manner and assembled in the east of Weikou City.
Under the banner of the king.
Liu Bei and Xiao Yuan stood side by side, looking at Weikou City from afar.
Liu Bei seemed to be able to feel the nervousness of the Qin army at the head of the city trembling at the moment.
"Herald!"
Liu Bei raised his horse whip and shouted: "Drag the Xiangyang cannon to the front of the battle and bombard Weikou!"
The flag waved, and the scouts galloped.
More than 100 Xiangyang cannons were dragged to the front of the battle by thousands of soldiers.
The drums of war rang out.
100 Xiangyang cannons, launched at the same time.
Hundreds of boulders rose into the air and roared towards the city like meteors.
Thousands of soldiers of the Han army were all wide-eyed and excited, waiting to see the grand occasion of Weikou City being razed to the ground.
In the next moment, the stone rain fell to the ground.
"Boom, boom!"
The heavens and the earth cracked, and the earth shook and the mountains shook.
More than 100 white dust mist rose into the sky, enveloping Weikou City.
The bombardment ended, and the dust and mist gradually fell to the ground.
When the soldiers of the Han army saw the whole picture of Weikou City again, there was an uproar in the army.
Liu Bei's body was also shocked, and surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Weikou City was unscathed!
Not only was the city wall not collapsed, but the buildings on it were not damaged much, and there were only a dozen or so insignificant cracks in the walls.
The hundred boulders of the Xiangyang cannon seem to have just scratched the itch of Weikou City.
"Weird!"
Liu Bei raised his whip again and shouted: "Keep bombarding!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)
The order is given again.
Next, the Xiangyang cannon kept firing, and the stone bullets continued to roar towards Weikou City.
The loud bang shook everyone's scalps.
After seven rounds of bombardment in one breath, the heavens and the earth returned to calm.
The dust and fog settled, and Weikou City was clear again.
The soldiers of the Han army were in an uproar again.
Weikou City is still standing!
Seven rounds of bombardment, nearly a thousand stone bullets, failed to shake Weikou City in the slightest!
"Didn't I claim that Weikou City was only built temporarily, not a fortified city?"
"Why can't I hurt it in the slightest bit with my Xiangyang cannon?"
Liu Bei looked incredulous.
The generals on the left and right were all amazed and puzzled, and they talked endlessly for a while.
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Weikou City from afar, a sneer in his eyes.
"My lord, the dust and mist raised by the stone bullet are all white. "
"If Ruchen's guess is correct, Cao Cao should have splashed the city with water overnight, freezing the city wall with a layer of ice armor!"
"He's taking advantage of the cold winter to resist our Xiangyang cannon. "
Xiao Yuan's horse whip pointed at the distance, and the mystery was broken.
Splashing the city with water?
Freeze the walls?
Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and he was anxious to take a closer look at Weikou City.
Sure enough.
The surface of the city wall is very different from yesterday, changing from earth to grayish white.
Moreover, it also reflects the cold light in the morning light.
It's not covered with a layer of ice armor, what else could it be!
"'~ I didn't expect that Cao Cao could come up with such a clever plan to resist our Xiangyang cannon. "
"It seems that under Cao Cao's command, there is still no shortage of wise and resourceful people. "
Liu Bei, who wanted to understand, couldn't help but sigh.
Weicheng East Gate Tower.
Cao Cao has re-ascended to the top of the city.
Looking at the unscathed city wall, and then looking down at the Han army outside the city, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked a sneer.
"Zhongda, your plan is really a stroke of God. "
"Liu Bei has Xiao Yuan, and this king has you Sima Zhongda, which is enough to match!"
Cao Cao laughed and praised Sima Yi very much.
Sima Yi was naturally modest on the surface, but when he looked at Han Jun's eyes, a touch of conceit quietly flashed.
Han army array.
Xiao Yuan said lightly: "Cao Cao has built an ice city, and my Xiangyang cannon is useless, king, let's collect the troops and return to the camp first." "
Liu Bei sighed softly, and had to order the troops to be withdrawn.
The Han army retreated in an orderly manner, and then retreated to the camp in a blink of an eye.
The soldiers of the Qin army in the city, seeing that the Han army was forced to retreat, suddenly boosted their morale, and they raised their arms excitedly.
Cao Cao Da (Qian Nuo's) smiled and said: "Pass the order, quickly set up a banquet, and force back the big-eared thieves today, it is worth having a good drink!"
The ministers and generals of the Qin State all laughed.
...
Han Ying, King Tent.
When Cao Cao was in Weikou City, he drank with the generals to celebrate this victory.
Liu Bei discussed with the military generals how to crack Cao Cao's plan to freeze Weicheng.
After deliberating for a long time, they unanimously came to the following conclusion:
If you want to break Weikou City, you can only wait until the temperature rises in spring and the ice wall melts.
"By the time spring begins, there will be at least two months left. "
"Do you think Cao Cao will be so stupid as not to take advantage of these two months to thicken the city wall and wait for the spring to be broken by us?"
Xiao Yuan's rhetorical question made the ministers speechless for a moment.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Prime Minister is reasonable, so it seems that even if we wait until the beginning of spring, we may not be able to break through this Weikou City." "
"Do you remember the king, but the minister once said that fortresses are often breached from the inside. "
Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with a strange color.
