Chapter 1040: Fierce Battle (20)

Thinking of such a defense, Cao Wen saw it for the first time. Cao Wen also knew that this kind of defense was to guard against shells that ran away.

This is obvious.

Cao Wen was pacing back and forth in the big tent, and the two lieutenants were watching from the sidelines, and Cao Wen had nothing to do. Not to mention the two lieutenants, Cao Wen is not allowed to talk about it! Therefore, they did not speak, but watched silently.

Cao Wen walked back and forth a few times, then returned to the table and sat down.

"General, is there any way to attack the city?" One of the lieutenants couldn't help but ask.

Cao Wen shook his head and said, "No, it seems that the deployment of this Tatar army is to prevent our artillery." ”

"Then we don't need artillery, okay?" One of the lieutenants asked.

"How can you attack without artillery?" Cao Wen asked rhetorically.

The lieutenant general said: "Normal attack! ”

Cao Wen said: "In this way, we will lose a lot. ”

At this time, another lieutenant general said: "That's right, these are two city walls, and we plan to attack the city with 10,000 people, even if we attack the city, I'm afraid there will be only 2,000 people left in the end." Such a victory can be regarded as a pyrrhic victory."

Cao Wen nodded and said, "Well, you're right, such a victory is definitely a miserable victory." Your Majesty and the Great General will not like it. ”

The lieutenant said, "But we have no other way but this, don't we?" ”

Cao Wen also nodded and said, "You're right, there is indeed no other better way." However, there is always a way, but I can't think of it for the time being. ”

"So what do we do? Just waiting? The lieutenant asked.

Cao Wen nodded a little helplessly and said, "Yes, we can only wait, wait for us to have a good attack strategy before we can act." ”

"When will that be?" The lieutenant seemed to be anxious, and couldn't help but ask in a hurry.

Cao Wen was a little angry, and said with a straight face: "What are you panicking about? All give me a sigh of relief. ”

"Yes, General." The two lieutenants arched their hands together and said.

Cao Wen continued: "You two go down first to inform the soldiers, and you will rest in place tonight." ”

"It's the general." The two of them arched their hands together and said.

"Go ahead, when you can't sleep, don't forget to think about the siege plan." Cao Wen reminded him.

"It's the general." The movements of the two remained unchanged, and they answered again.

"Go ahead."

Cao Wen waved his hand and asked the two lieutenants to retreat. Then continue to meditate on your own. Little by little, time passed. Cao Wen never came up with a solution.

The next day, the two lieutenants came to meet Cao Wen.

Cao Wen asked, "Have you two come up with a plan?" ”

The two lieutenants looked at each other and then shook their heads together.

Cao Wen nodded, which was not surprising to him. He couldn't even think of it, let alone be too busy.

"General Ben didn't come up with it either!" Cao Wen sighed and said.

"What then?" One of them, who was more anxious, said with a long beard.

Cao Wen shook his head, saying that there was nothing he could do.

For a moment, there was silence in the tent. Cao Wen lowered his head and pondered, and the two lieutenants looked at each other.

After a while, the impatient adjutant general said: "General, if you really can't do it, report it to General Gao Tang!" ”

Cao Wen was silent for a moment and said, "I want to too, but even if I report to General Gao Tang, will there be a way?" ”

The adjutant general said: "General, at least there are more people studying together, and I am afraid that there will be a way if there are more people." ”

Cao Wen listened to the words of the impatient lieutenant general, was silent for a moment, and said: "What you said is also right, but I really can't think of how you should attack in the face of such a defense." Will someone else have a way? ”

The adjutant of this anxious son glanced at the other adjutant.

Another adjutant general said: "General, the last general has listened to the book, then General Chen Cheng's wisdom is very powerful, it is better for the general to ask for advice in person, maybe he can get a good plan, it is also possible!" ”

Listening to the words of this lieutenant general, Cao Wen was still silent. In fact, he had already thought of Chen Cheng. He also knew that Chen Cheng's resourcefulness was not under him, and he might be able to find a way. However, he still wants to come up with his own strategy, so that the merit he has made is also great.

Speaking of which, this Cao Wen is still a little selfish. Especially when Liu Yong came, he was naturally eager to make meritorious contributions and wanted to perform well in front of Liu Yong.

Cao Wen didn't speak, and the deputy general didn't dare to speak anymore.

In the end, Cao Wen still said: "In this way, if I am given a day, I don't believe that I can't come up with a plan." Let's eat first, and after eating, the two of you will accompany General Ben to investigate. Look for loopholes in these two walls.

"It's the general." The two of them quickly replied together.

Cao Wen continued: "You two will eat with General Ben!" ”

"It's the general." The two of them didn't move, and then continued.

"Then ask the soldiers to pass the food!" Cao Wen said.

The two lieutenants went to arrange. Breakfast is porridge, pork head meat and steamed buns. And, of course, pickles. There is no wine. Cao Wen has a rule when he fights, that is, during the war, he will never drink. Drinking is also done after a victory.

It's not that Cao Wen doesn't like to drink, it's just that he thinks that drinking will make a mistake, this is a war, not a joke. Therefore, Cao Wen never drank alcohol when he was fighting.

As a soldier, meals are very fast, and it takes about a cup of tea to eat.

Cao Wen was also an anxious man, so after eating, he put on his armor, rode on a war horse, and went towards the city wall of Zhangzhou City with only two lieutenant generals.

The reason why he didn't bring too many people was because he was afraid that the target would be too big.

It is the late autumn season, the sky is still a little dark, and the surrounding area is a sad yellow, which looks very desolate. The cold wind blew, and my body felt cold.

The three of them rode war horses and walked slowly, while Cao Wen looked at the surrounding environment. The terrain here is relatively flat, full of reeds and shrubs, and if you hide some people, you will not be found.

However, they had come to attack the city, not to ambush it, and there was no need for Tibetans in the reeds and bushes.

Cao Wen is just a natural material for fighting, and what kind of battles and strategies he thinks of when he sees the environment. However, what he was thinking about now had no effect on the siege.

Since it has no effect, Cao Wen doesn't think about it.

Three or four feet away from the moat, Cao Wen stopped, and if he walked forward, he was afraid that there would be danger. The Tatar soldiers on the walls of the city will shoot bows and arrows.
