The next day, in the street pavilion camp, he began to be busy withdrawing troops.

Now that the city has been established, the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Wei Yanchen has arrived can also free up.

Since the camp was not far from Jieting City, Liu Chan first asked Wei Yanchen to escort the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the two to transport grain, grass and baggage, and after the things in the camp were emptied, he led 30,000 soldiers and horses to leave lightly and go to Jieting City.

The actions of the Han army camp were naturally hidden from the Wei army scouts, and soon the Wei army conveyed the news to Cao Pi.

"Your Majesty, the Shu army is packing up and is suspected of retreating!"

"Retirement?" Cao Pi frowned: "What the hell are they doing?" Retire at this time? Isn't there another conspiracy brewing? ”

Cao Pi clearly remembered that the reason why Zhang He's whole army was wiped out and he was defeated and died last time was because the Han army pretended to withdraw its troops, so that Zhang He took the enemy lightly and ventured into an ambush.

Cao Pi couldn't figure it out, and looked at everyone.

Jiang Ji groaned: "If you want to say that you will repeat the same trick as last time? That should be impossible, we have suffered a loss once, and it is impossible to eat a second time.

Now the Shu army can only get Longyou by holding the street pavilion, and withdrawing troops means giving up Longyou, why do you do this? Could it be that something happened to them behind them? Therefore, it is only possible to withdraw from the army? ”

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi again.

Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "Weichen doesn't dare to speculate, but there must be a reason for the retreat of the Shu army, Your Majesty can reorganize the troops and horses, be ready to pursue at any time, and send scouts to inquire about the news, so that there will be no ambush, if there is really anything wrong with the rear of the Shu army, Your Majesty can also lead the troops to pursue and recapture Longyou." ”

Cao Pi nodded and ordered, "Hmm! Send an order to go down, let the soldiers and horses prepare for battle, Zidan, send scouts to closely explore the movements of the Shu army, and if there is the slightest disturbance, report immediately. ”

"No!"

By noon, all the grain and grass in the Han army camp arrived at Jieting City, and then, Liu Chan did his best, leaving an empty camp to Cao Pi, and the army marched lightly and rushed to Jieting City.

Wei army camp!

"Your Majesty, the Shu army has withdrawn from the camp, and there is nothing in the camp, only a four-sided fence, and there are no tents."

Cao Zhen listened to the scout's words, and couldn't understand the intention of the Shu army: "What the hell is the Shu army doing?" If it is an ambush, our army will not be fooled at all, and if it really retreats, it will take everything with it, won't it become a burden? ”

Cao Pi said in a deep voice: "Don't care why he withdrew his troops, the scouts along the way have already explored, there is no ambush, our army is slowly following to see what tricks he plays." Pass the order down and raise troops to keep up with the Shu army! The 50,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two groups, advancing alternately, and the scouts must be made to find out the situation along the way! ”

"No!"

Soon Cao Pi led the army to the camp of the original Han army.

This was originally the Wei army with 50,000 soldiers did not capture the camp, but now it was actually abandoned by the Han army, the camp is empty, only fences on all sides, there is not a single wood on the ground, if it is not for the war with Cao Pi, the Han army is eager to take away the fence as firewood.

The Wei army, both civil and military, did not get the joy of the Han army's camp in their hearts, on the contrary, they were all puzzled in their hearts, why did the Han army withdraw?

At this moment, a scout Pegasus came, only to see that his face was full of stunned and panicked, turned over his horse, and reported to Cao Piyu: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Shu army has established a city at the Longshan Road Crossing, and they have all withdrawn into the city, and the reason why they retreated is because they built a city, Your Majesty!" ”

At this moment, the doubts that plagued the Wei State were finally solved.

Even ordinary scouts understood that the Han army abandoned the camp because it built a city, and it was obvious that the city was much easier to defend than the camp.

Cao Pi's face was full of astonishment: "Chengchi, how is it possible?" How could the Shu army have time to build a city? How much manpower and material resources do it take to build a city, and where can the Shu army have the ability to build a city when they first arrive?

When Deng Ai guarded the camp, there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of the dead and wounded, if there were more soldiers and horses, it was impossible not to come to the rescue, so this city was built after Liu Chan arrived, it was just a little more than a month, how could a city be built? ”

Cao Pi was a little panicked in his heart, if the Han army really built a city stuck at the Longshan crossing, then west of Liupan Mountain, there would be no hope of regaining it.

The scout said: "It's really Your Majesty, it's at the Longshan Road Pass, less than twenty miles away from here!" ”

Jiang Ji saw that Cao Pi's face was wrong, and hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, building a city consumes a lot, and during this time, the Shu army practiced every day, and the momentum was huge, so it can be seen that there are not many soldiers used to build the city."

Weichen guessed that the Shu army should only build the surrounding city walls, even so, there is not much time, it is also shoddy, but a rammed earth to build a low city, now our army has built a hundred return guns, a small city, what is the way? ”

When Cao Pi heard this, his face gradually relaxed, and he nodded and said, "Go over and see, I want Liu Chan to build a city in a month!" ”

The cavalry of the Wei army quickly whipped their horses and soon arrived at the Longshan crossing, and the Jieting City was standing in front of the crossing, its city wall stretched out, connected with the high mountains on both sides, and under the city gate, there was only a square square in front of the crossing.

Attacking the camp, the radius is enough, you can attack the city, this kind of terrain is relatively narrow, the enemy army is condescending, if you want to attack, you need to use rushing cars, ladders, cave houses and other siege things, but this kind of terrain can not be used at all.

Looking at the street pavilion city, everyone's faces became solemn.

Street Pavilion City is not big, and it is not small enough, but it is high enough! It's very difficult to attack at this height.

Jiang Ji previously said that Jieting City was a low city made of rammed earth, but now this city is gray-black, and it is obviously not made of rammed earth.

"What kind of material is this city, why have I never seen it!" Cao Pi looked at the street pavilion city in front of him and muttered: "If it is brick, there should be gaps, if it is soil, it should be without edges and corners." And this city has edges and corners, but there are no gaps and are integrated, like bricks and not bricks, like soil and not soil, when the real evil door is tight. ”

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "To build the city, it is generally better to use blue bricks and stones, followed by rammed earth, although this city wall can not be distinguished from what materials are built, but it only took a month to build this city in Shu, it should not be very solid, Your Majesty does not have to worry, Wei Chenwei will transfer back the cannon and try it." ”

Cao Pi nodded: "Go quickly!" ”

Liu Chan stood at the head of the city, looked at Cao Pi at the crossing, not only smiled, but shouted loudly: "Cao Zijian, do you want to go and bring back the cannon, this city is as strong as Mount Tai, I advise you not to waste your efforts."

I heard that you have always been in poor health, so you should retreat quickly, lest the return cannon will not work later, and it will not be good if you vomit blood and die in anger. ”
