Chapter 716: Sima Catches a Big Fish

"What kind of fame is this Sima Yi doing?" At the head of Xiangyang City, Gan Ning and Tai Shici both said puzzled.

For several days in a row, Cao's army attacked Xiangyang day and night.

Now in this city, whether it is Gan Ning or Tai Shici, they are all guarding for a day, alternating with each other.

In this night attack, Sima Yi sometimes only sent hundreds of people there to scold.

But even so, whether it was Tai Shici or Gan Ning, the two of them did not dare to slack off.

False and real, if Sima Yi is given a chance because of slackness, then it will be a big matter.

So whether it is Gan Ning or Tai Shici, the two of them choose to rather work hard by themselves.

"No matter what Sima Yi does, we just need to stick to the city."

Tai Shici looked at Gan Ning and said with a smile, "General Gan should go and rest early, and leave it to me here." ”

Gan Ning glanced at Tai Shici and then didn't continue to say anything, answered and left.

I didn't rest this night, and naturally I was a little tired, although I could still persevere, but I haven't reached that point yet.

"Zhongda, it's been a few days now, and we are attacking day and night, although it is said to be a combination of virtual and real, but this Gan Ning and Tai Shici alternately guard, it is not good for us."

Early in the morning, seeing Cao Ren leading hundreds of people back, Cao Chun finally couldn't help but look at Sima Yi again and said.

Although he and Cao Chun also alternately went to harass at night, such a thing was useless in his opinion, and there were still a lot of losses in the people.

"In that case, then I'll solve the confusion of Zihe." Sima Yi glanced at Cao Chun and said.

Cao Ren and Cao Chun have been asking alternately in the past few days, so he knows that if he doesn't give an explanation, he is afraid that he will not be able to say it.

At that time, the morale of the army will be unstable, and that will be a big problem.

"Let me ask, Xiangyang is in an emergency, will Liu Wei send troops to support Xiangyang?" Sima Yi looked at Cao Chun and asked rhetorically.

"That's natural, Xiangyang is the foundation of the Han army's involvement in Jingzhou, if Xiangyang is lost, the previous Xinye battle will become meaningless." Cao Chun replied almost without thinking about it.

"But what does this have to do with us, even if the military advisor wants to take Xiangyang before the reinforcements arrive, we should think of a better way."

"With such a constant attack, they will definitely be able to survive until the reinforcements arrive, so I am afraid that it will be even more difficult." Cao Chun said puzzled, he still didn't understand Sima Yi's thoughts.

"It's normal for Cao Jun to think like this, but now at this time, we can't use common sense." Sima Yi glanced at Cao Chun and said, it seemed that he was not surprised that Cao Chun would think like this.

"Now that Tai Shici and Gan Ning are holding Xiangyang and refusing to leave the city, then we can only lure the enemy out of the city."

After Cao Chun heard Sima Yi say this, he also understood, how could he not know what Sima Yi said so obviously.

"Zhong Da wants to lure Gan Ning and Tai Shici out of the city with reinforcements?"

Now that Gan Ning and Tai Shici are defending Xiangyang, they have no way to attack it for a while, and they can't take it for a while.

And luring the enemy out of the city, this is too cautious for Shi Ci and Gan Ning, and they are not willing to go out of the city for half a step at all.

"Yes, as long as we encircle the point and send reinforcements, when the reinforcements are urgent, how can the defenders of Xiangyang sit idly by."

"The person who can lead the army to come to support must be the person who is valued by Liu Wei." Sima Yi nodded and said.

This is his strategy, and this is the only way to get Gan Ning and Tai Shici to take the initiative to open the city gate.

The night attack is just to send a few people to affect the combat effectiveness of Gan Ning and Tai Shici, and only by attacking day and night can he show that he is eager to take Xiangyang and speed up the reinforcements.

At that time, the gate of Xiangyang was wide open, and it was the only chance to seize Xiangyang.

It is precisely because of this, so he needs Zhou Yu to delay the time and delay until the moment when the reinforcements arrive.

After knowing Sima Yi's thoughts, Cao Chun didn't doubt it, and I have to say that Sima Yi's move was very dangerous.

But as Sima Yi said, this risk also contains great opportunities.

Cao Chun also admired Sima Yi again at this time, this Sima Yi must have been waiting for this opportunity the moment he sent troops again.

Sure enough, it was a military strategy, and if you think of other ways, it is more of a strong attack.

And this time, if you plan properly, you can not only take Xiangyang, but also have a chance to swallow the defenders of Xiangyang and Liu Wei's reinforcements together.

Among them, there are at least three generals, and for Liu Wei's strength, it is a great loss.

It can even be said that this value has exceeded one Xiangyang.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on every soldier who fought as usual.

It seems to want to do its best to give some warmth to those who might fall to the ground in the next moment.

War is like a meat grinder, whether it is a war of cold weapons or a war of hot weapons.

The surrounding air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood, which was disgusting, but it was also exciting, and every soldier in the city and under the city was already red-eyed.

Tai Shi Ci is even more rushing back and forth, as long as someone dares to climb the city, he has no intention of sparing.

Not only that, if there were Cao troops in other cities, he would definitely go to support.

Until ten o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Jun still did not have any intention of retreating.

Since Cao Jun did not retreat, Tai Shici naturally did not have time to rest, even for a moment.

Because they all know that a moment of negligence, such a rest, a careless, is likely to become a long sleep.

It lasted for more than an hour, so that Cao's army began to retreat, and the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle could be seen on the city and under the city walls.

Some of them are already the wreckage of broken walls, and they do not distinguish between friend and foe.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Tai Shici breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the soldiers at the head of the city, many of them were already wounded.

Tai Shici couldn't help but sigh, but this is war.

"Ziyi, it's hard work, I'm here for you." Gan Ning came to the city at this time, looked at Tai Shici and said.

At the same time, the soldiers under Gan Ning also began to take over the defense of the city.

"Why don't you take a break?" Tai Shi Ci glanced at Gan Ning, if it wasn't dark today, it was usually dark to change the guard.

Because this also prevents Cao Jun from seizing this opportunity to make a fuss.

"In today's battle, Cao Jun is so brave, you are already tired, so I naturally want to come earlier." Gan Ning also looked at the wounded soldiers on the city.

Tai Shi Ci glanced at Gan Ning, and had no choice but to nod, although he could still hold on, but in this way, he could also let those soldiers rest earlier and bandage better.

"Xingba, you said that we have been holding on for so long, more than half a month, maybe this reinforcement is coming soon."

After Tai Shi Ci took two steps, he said as if he had thought of something.

"It should be soon, but I'm afraid it will take two or three days, I'm afraid that Cao Jun also knows, so he is so desperate and wants to take Xiangyang before the reinforcements come."

Gan Ning thought about it and said, Zhuge Liang said at the beginning, I'm afraid it will take more than 20 days to arrive.

"What, Ziyi, are you worried that if the reinforcements don't come, we won't be able to hold it?" After a while, Gan Ning looked at Tai Shi Ci and said with a smile.

"That's not it, since I'm Tai Shici entrusted by His Majesty and the military advisor to guard this city, what are I afraid of, I'm just worried that if the reinforcements don't come, something will happen."

Tai Shi Ci looked at Gan Ning and said, afraid, it is impossible for him Tai Shi Ci to be afraid, how can the eldest husband be greedy for life and fear of death.

"No, no matter where the troops are sent from, Your Majesty's reinforcements and the people who lead the army are not comparable to those Cao troops." Gan Ning smiled, and then motioned to Tai Shici to rest earlier.

Tai Shi Ci saw it and went down to the city tower, and didn't think much about it.

On the other side, in Sima Yi's big tent, the spies had already returned at this time.

"Strategist, it has been ascertained that this reinforcement is led by Zhao Yun."

Sima Yi nodded after hearing this, "This is really a big fish." ”
