Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

In the Huai Li, Wei Yan showed a smile at this time.

"General Bo Dao, this defense is really meticulous."

Today they are defending the city, and only 20,000 soldiers have stopped the 120,000 army from attacking.

Everyone trusts Hao Zhao's ability more and more, and today's battle has made everyone believe what he said before.

However, He Zhao waved his hand and said.

"It's just a small path. If you really want to fight the enemy, you still need the generals."

Huang Zhong on the side also showed a smile.

"General Hao is quite modest.

Although they won a victory, they did not make any celebrations, because the soldiers of Xiliang were only temporarily retreating.

The guards on the city defense did not have to be short during the day, and obviously they were still vigilant about whether the Xiliang army would attack at night.

Everyone just gathered here to chat for a while, and they also discussed some points about the follow-up attack of Xiliang.

However, just when everyone felt that the discussion was about the same, one person suddenly walked out.

This is the dark guard in the city!

Huang Zhong showed a very curious look.

"I just asked, did the lord have any orders?"

Now that the Prime Minister is delegating power, he is basically ignorant of foreign affairs. At this time, only Cao Yang can pass the news, it can't be anyone else.

I saw the dark guard nodded and said indifferently in the face of the crowd.

"He Zhao is here, the military commander urgently orders!

There was a hint of strangeness in He Zhao's eyes, and he stepped forward and said with a bow.

"The end is here!"

The dark guard nodded slightly and said loudly. .

"The military commander has ordered to take wet hay and spread it on the houses in the city, and water the horse manure, and act immediately without error.

After speaking, the dark guard put the secret letter in his hand on the table, and then left calmly.

At this time, He Zhao slowly raised his head and looked at each other with Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and Wei Yan around him, showing a curious look.

"Why did the military adviser suddenly send a secret letter at this time?

"With such an act, did the strategist expect that Xiliang might be attacked by fire? 55

They have absolutely no idea why the news of the city being closed is still being passed on normally to the dark guards, and they also don't understand why the lord judges that the enemy's 940th Army will attack with fire.

"I don't know, since it's what the lord said, let's do it."

Everyone shook their heads, but thinking that the lord had previously served as the chief counselor, how could they be suspicious.

But now that the order has arrived, it is impossible for them to violate the military order. Although there are some doubts, they still do it.

At dusk that day, all the houses in the city were covered with wet haystacks, and everything was as arranged by the military advisor.

It's just that after watering the horse manure, the city looks a little ugly. Although the soldiers and soldiers complained, they didn't say much.

Soon, night fell.

The inner city does not know the plans of the outer city, and the outer city also does not know the actions of the inner city.

At this moment, outside the city, five thousand longbowmen marched in the dark.

There was a hint of excitement in Ma Chao's eyes, he didn't expect that he would be able to break through the city today.

This made him a little impatient. The five thousand longbowmen were all wearing night clothes, perfectly blending into the night.

Looking at the soldiers above and the soldiers who were still walking back and forth, Ma Chao showed a strange look.

"I didn't expect that these soldiers are still guarding."

On the patrol of the city defense, there are special people who are on duty overnight and guarding all night. To be able to be so rigorous, they have to make Ma Chao and others more vigilant.

Countless people moved forward slowly, without disturbing the soldiers on the city defense in the slightest.

Just relying on the dim yellow lights on the city gate, it was impossible to notice that the five thousand archers had already touched the city in the dark at this moment.

In addition to the dark night, it seemed to them that it was pitch black outside the city, and nothing could be seen.

"Then the Xiliang army is coming back tonight?"

"I don't know. Today, the army of 100,000 troops was guarded by the general. Now that they are defeated, they shouldn't attack so quickly."

Luo

The soldiers patrolling the city defense also chatted boredly.

However, at this time, the five thousand archers had already reached the best archery position.

The corner of Ma Chao's mouth slightly raised an arc.

He looked back at the five thousand longbowmen behind him, stretched out a hand and made a gesture.

The five thousand archers moved uniformly, took out an arrow from behind and placed it on the bow.

At the same time, when Ma Chao moved his right hand, all the soldiers immediately understood.

The arrows of countless bows and arrows were set on fire.

"ATA..."

Countless bow-drawing sounds sounded.

The sudden burst of fire immediately attracted the attention of the guards patrolling the city defense.

"What's down there!"

One person exclaimed, everyone came to the edge of the city and looked out of the city, because the flames reflected the blurred faces of five thousand people, who were wearing night clothes and carrying quivers behind them.

There was no response to the defenders at all, and the arrows in the hands of these archers had already left the strings.

Secret Ma Ma's bow and arrow have already flown into the air.

"Call for reinforcements!!

"It was an enemy attack, and Xiliang brought troops here! 99

Many people on the city defense began to act.

When the defender had already found a bunker to avoid it, he found that something was not right.

The countless arrows in the sky did not seem to be coming towards them.

They looked up as countless arrows shot into the city from the walls on both sides.

The expressions of all the defenders changed one after another. The purpose of these Xiliang troops is to be in the city!

Countless flaming arrows tried to burn Huaili!

"Everyone is ready to put out the fire!!"

With a loud roar from the defenders, countless people began to act, but soon they were stunned in place.

Those arrows shot on the wet withered grass and horse dung, and immediately went out, and the countless arrows seemed to sink into the sea.

Tens of thousands of arrows did not play any role at all.

A few arrows hit the ground and went out in just a moment.

The defenders hesitated for a moment before laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"My lord is simply divine!"

When they received this order during the day, they resisted a little, but now everyone is laughing.

Some even shouted loudly.

"I love horse manure!

After seeing the countless rockets all extinguished, the guards, who were originally panicked, also showed a smile on the corners of their mouths, and a heart finally fell to the ground.

The guards looked at the guards below, yawned, and said lightly.

"When are you guys coming?""

Another responded.

"Coming now!"

The Xiliang army below seemed to have planned for a long time. After shooting several rounds of arrows, they began to withdraw without turning their heads.

Ma Chao looked back at Huailicheng and smiled.

"No accident, this city will turn into a sea of ​​fire in an hour.

In the distance, Ma Teng and Sima Yi had long been here to meet him.

Ma Chao said with a light smile.

"Tens of thousands of arrows were shot into the city.

"The fire in Huaili is only a matter of time. You should be able to see the fire in the city in less than a quarter of an hour."3

Sima Yi also nodded slightly, showing a hint of a smile, in a mere city, as long as he goes out, is he afraid that he won't be able to take it down?

"In that case, let's enjoy the next beautiful scenery with me. 99

It is late autumn now, and the night is still a little cool.

However, at this time, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Sima Yi all quietly looked at Huaili City with (babd) smiles.

It seems that the huge fire will appear in the next second, and everyone waited here for a full quarter of an hour.

Sima Yi's face finally turned ugly, slightly embarrassed,

Why is there no fire in the city yet?

It is impossible for tens of thousands of arrows to not start the fire, and even if it is to put out the fire, it is impossible for so many rockets to be able to put out.

It's not raining now, how could the fire go out!

He turned to look at Ma Chao who was on the side and couldn't help asking.

"General, those arrows should have fallen into the city?"

Ma Chao's face was also not good-looking, and he said lightly, didn't you see it from behind?

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi's expression became even more embarrassing, and he said with a somewhat ugly expression.

"There must be a problem in this city, otherwise tens of thousands of arrows will not be able to start the fire!"

Ma Teng on the side also showed an extremely puzzled look, how could so many rockets have no effect in the city.

He let out a breath and glanced at Sima Yi on the side.

"Withdraw!"

Countless soldiers evacuated directly towards the base of the Xiliang Army, and Sima Yi looked at Huaili with a complicated expression.

Unless it was predicted in advance that he was going to attack, how could Mi have any reaction?

With unwilling Sima Yi also had to return to the station.

In the city, He Zhao and others who heard the news all woke up and looked at the scene in the city.

Countless arrows landed on the roof of the house, with a trace of charred black on the arrowheads. These were obviously rockets that were shot into the city one after another.

The roof of the house was already covered with wet withered grass, and countless arrows fell on it to trigger anything.

Many people are even unaware of what they have just discovered.

He Zhao, who witnessed all this, was extremely shocked in his heart.

"If it wasn't for the emergency order issued by the lord during the day, there would have been a fire in Huaili City at this moment.

Huang Zhong and others also looked at this safe and sound city and fell into silence.

he said with a sigh.

"How can we see through such a great talent like the lord.

Their hearts were also extremely shocked, and they were not even able to detect the movements of the enemy troops without being on the battlefield at all.

With this ability, they are simply speechless.

Can't help it, the soldiers in the city also felt the charm of their lord once again.

"Thanks to my lord this time!"

Countless people couldn't help but sigh.

Chang'an, a man came up in a hurry, he was dressed as a literati but moved very quickly, and there was a hint of joy at the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, Huaili is safe! 35

"Sima Yi designed 5,000 archers to shoot tens of thousands of arrows near the city without success!""

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Yang, who came, showed a smile.

"Of course, nothing can happen to Huaili."

Since Sima Yi was by Ma Teng's side, Cao Yang always remembered this person, how could he not be on guard.

Because of Sima Yi's treacherousness, he will do whatever it takes to set fire to the people in the city at night.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Yang with admiration.

"Thanks to the lord's unpredictable prophet, this made Xiliang's achievements fall short, and countless arrows were wasted in vain.

The fact that he joined Cao Cao's camp at the beginning was moved by Cao Yang's talent, and he wanted to learn by his side, but now it seems that there is still a lot of distance.

Now that Cao Yang is the king of Wei, it stands to reason that their advisors and staff should also share their worries, but there is still a gap in their abilities.

At the most critical time, it is still up to Cao Yang to take the shot himself.

Cao Yang has long been accustomed to Guo Jia's expression and waved his hand.

These compliments, his ears were already cocooned, he looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"How is the situation of the 30,000 Iron Cavalry now?"

Now he is most concerned about this iron cavalry. As long as Qiangdi is successfully captured, Xiliang will inevitably cause chaos, and the winning rate of this battle can at least increase by more than 30%.

This is what he cares most about, resisting the invasion of the Liangzhou army is only expected.

Guo Jia showed a smile.

"The 30,000 iron cavalry made a detour from the north and was not noticed by Xiliang in the slightest, so the lord can rest assured.

"It is estimated that it will take only three days to reach Qiangdi."

Only then did Cao Yang nodded, there was a glint in his eyes, as if he was thinking of something.

"By the way, Feng Xiao helped me stare at the Soochow side recently.

"Now that we are fighting against Xiliang, it is very likely that they can't help but make some small moves."

"For example, the raid on Jingzhou should not be taken lightly."

Guo Jia nodded with a hint of strangeness.

"Heh, Soochow? Last time the lord didn't get angry with them with a letter, and this time he won't have a long memory!

"I will definitely mention that the lord is optimistic about Soochow!

Then Cao Yang waved his hand.

"Go back, it's alright."

At this time, an iron cavalry force of 30,000 people in the north of Sizhou was heading for the position of Qiang Di.

The 30,000-strong iron cavalry has even left the area of ​​Sizhou.

Qiang Di has always been on good terms with Xiliang, and their territories are adjacent to each other, and Qiang Di is the most powerful backing of Xiliang, but at this moment they are completely unaware of the approaching danger.

The 30,000 cavalry was on the road overnight, and it only took three days to reach Qiangdi.

At that time, Qiang Di will have no power to tie the chicken!

It will only be a matter of time before the Western Liang is recaptured!
