Yecheng, the city walls are towering.

At this time, Cao Cao's three armies had arrived outside the city.

Looking at the Cao army surrounded by flags covering the sun, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun couldn't help but look solemn on the top of the city and behind the walls.

Yecheng stationed a lot of troops, with a total of no less than 30,000 infantry and cavalry. However, Cao Cao came with the whole country and was bound to conquer Nanyang, which had already relieved his worries.

Huang Zhong frowned slightly with a slightly gray brow, and looked at Zhao Yun on the side and said, "Zilong, look at the Cao army's formation, it seems that Cao Cao is sure to win this time."

Zhao Yunning pointed his head and held the sword and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao is really a hero, so he should not be underestimated. But even if he is determined to win, he has to ask me whether the soldiers of Jingzhou agree."

"Now Yecheng is more than three meters tall and more than one meter wide. The city walls are solid. Even if Cao Cao's elite soldiers in Qingzhou are elite, it will be difficult to break the Yecheng at all."

Zhao Yun said confidently.

"Well, send the orders to continue, the three armies are waiting for war. During the war, a nightclub is imposed in the city. Anyone who has not received the order to act without authorization will be killed." Huang Zhong said solemnly.

He is not afraid of attacking him hard, but he is afraid that there are people in the city who are not in the rules. After all, it is not uncommon for those who are betrayal by the Lord. If someone welcomes Cao's army into the city late at night, there may be big problems.

"No!" One side was about to respond.

"How far is the lord?" Huang Zhong turned his head and asked.

"Return to the general, Cao Cao's outpost cavalry came from the city. The lord has now reached the north of Xinye, and it is still more than 300 miles away, and it may take several days to go." The side general replied.

"I understand. I ordered all departments to be on guard. Without my orders, no one is allowed to open the city gate." Huang Zhong finished speaking in a deep voice and went straight down the city wall.

He knew that Cao's army could not attack today.

This is probably the last peace before the storm.

Under the city, at the chariot.

Cao Cao grabbed the water bag and drank a mouthful of clear water. Looking at the towering and majestic city not far away, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ye, a small frontier town, Zhang Xiu built it so tall and sturdy in just two years, which is hateful."

"Cao Ren, how do you compare to Yecheng in Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked sideways.

"Lord, this Yecheng is probably not inferior to Xia Pi. The only thing that is lacking is that Yecheng is surrounded by waterless systems." Cao Ren said after looking carefully.

"Hateful, this is exactly what hateful!"

Cao Cao cursed angrily, then turned his head to look at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, this city has high walls, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Do you have any good ideas to teach me how to break the city?"

On one side, Guo Jia drank a sip of strong wine and couldn't help but cough a few times, with a slightly pale face.

He said warmly: "Lord, it has been a hundred miles south of Yecheng, or even hundreds of miles south of Yecheng, and it is very unwise to walk around and make Huang Zhong and others rob our army's food route."

"The military strategy is about it. If you want to surround it, if you want to attack it, if you want to attack it, if you want to divide it, you will be divided. Now our army is twice as high as Yecheng's defenders. If we forcefully attack our army, it will cause heavy losses, which is also unwise."

"If you want to break the city, you can only lure the enemy out of the city and fight our army in the field."

"And our Qingzhou army is an elite of hundreds of battles, and the reorganized tiger and leopard cavalry has also first seen the edge. As long as the enemy dares to go out of the city to fight, he will inevitably be defeated by the Lord's Iron Cavalry."

"Military advisor, how do you think we should seduce the enemy in the past half day?" On the side, Xu Chu was a little anxious with a big knife. He was so crazy when he heard the literati's trash.

Cao Cao also glared at Xu Chu, and then said sincerely: "Fengxiao thought how to lure the enemy?"

"One is righteous, the other is strange. With righteousness, the odd wins with strangeness." Guo Jia smiled gently, showing a shrewd look.

"What does the military advisor mean?" Cao Ren frowned and thought for three breaths, and couldn't help but ask for instructions respectfully.

After saying that, all the generals of Cao's camp looked at Guo Jia.

"Haha!" Guo Jia looked unruly, drank another drink, and chuckled: "The lord is coming in a big way. I think Zhang Xiu will not sit idly by. I'm afraid that he will arrive in Yecheng some time."

"Haha, Fengxiao means the main soldiers and Ye, and the strange soldiers will intercept Zhang Xiu? Temptation of the enemy out of the city to help?" Cao Cao chuckled and asked instead.

"That's right!" Guo Jia nodded and then said, "As far as I know, there are divine objects under Zhang Xiu's rule that can be passed on from a distance. As long as our army can intercept Zhang Xiu, Huang Zhong will definitely go out of the city to greet him."

"At that time, whether it is to eat Huang Zhong or Zhang Xiu's reinforcements, it will be a great kindness to our army.

"Even if Zhang Xiu runs away, the enemy will inevitably lose its troops and lose its morale, and the morale will plummet. On the contrary, our army is highly motivated, so a big thing can be accomplished."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he showed confidence between his eyebrows and eyes.

"Military advisor, this is a flat horse from Xinye, and there is no ambush. In addition, there are things in Zhang Xiu's army that can be seen from afar. How can you eat Zhang Xiu's reinforcements?"

Cao Ren's eyes were suspicious and asked.

"Haha, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, which absorbed Lu Bu, has grown a lot, no less than five thousand, and they are all people who dare to fight."

"And there are many dense forests in Nanyang. I can send iron cavalry to hide in the dense forests and bring Zhang Xiu to the scene. The troops and horses of various units will be killed. The iron cavalry can defeat the enemy."

Guo Jia explained with a chuckling.

"Very good!" Cao Cao smiled, turned to Xu Chu and said, "Xu Chu, Xu Huang, the tiger and leopard cavalry are temporarily supervised by you on the Day of the Two, and let the cavalry defeat Zhang Xiu."

"I won't go, I'll be in charge of infantry."

Xu Chu turned his head and his eyes rolled around.

"Ha, why don't you go?" Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and asked.

"Lord, it's not that I don't want to lead the cavalry, but that guy Zhang Xiu has a demon fire and keeps blowing. Although the damage is not great, the war horses are difficult to approach."

"In my opinion, the military advisor is a bad idea. It is better to let the infantry go to attack Zhang Xiu with cavalry." Xu Chu pursed his lips and looked very annoyed.

"I don't care. Whoever loves to go, I won't go anyway."

He was scared of being bombed and was bombed twice.

Although it is not very harmful, it is extremely insulting. Moreover, when the war horses see these fireworks and sounds, they cannot control them at all. He will not lead the cavalry no matter what he says.

"Haha," Guo Jia smiled and said immediately: "General Xu, don't worry, how could I do such a stupid thing? But according to my careful study, Zhang Xiu has already used up all such strange things."

"Did the general forget that he deceived us with fake things last time?"

"Take it seriously?" Xu Chu looked at Guo Jia suspiciously with eyes like a cow.

"Of course, take it seriously. How could Jia be a joke in such a war?" Guo Jia replied solemnly.

Xu Chu's eyes turned, thought for a moment, and immediately said, "Since that's the case, I want Zhang Xiu to know the power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

Xu Chu raised his sword and said viciously.

"But military advisor, how do we know where Zhang Xiu came from?" Cao Ren frowned.

"Haha, Zhang Xiu will lead reinforcements this time. As the saying goes, soldiers are more important than speed, and they must walk on the official road. But there are only two official roads that can be feasible from Bowang to Yecheng."

"First, go out to Bowang, go to Duyang, and then to Yecheng."

"The second is to go out to Bowang, run to Zhi County, and then go to Yecheng."

"With Zhang Xiu's character, it is unlikely that he will leave the near and go far to go to Zhixian County. However, these two necessary roads can be set up, and two thousand cavalry and Zhixian County can be divided into two thousand cavalry."

"At the same time, we will gather heavy troops to rush to Yecheng on our way. At that time, we will take advantage of the enemy's foothold and attack it in one fell swoop, and it will be not difficult to defeat the enemy."

"But before this, we must first hide our eyes and hide from Huang Zhong, otherwise Zhang Xiu will be vigilant." Guo Jia explained with a serious expression.

Cao Cao nodded and said in a deep voice: "The victory of a surprise is to win by surprise. It is important to make Huang Zhong not alert to our army to divide the troops, otherwise he will definitely inform Zhang Xiu."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said in a deep voice: "Wang Xiao thought how should we cover up our eyes and ears?"

"Lord, there are only a few methods of siege in ancient and modern times. You can ask General Cao Ren to supervise the three armies, camp on the earth and climb high and shoot to cover up the enemy's vision."

"In addition, you can also dig up the soil, use the earth mountains to cover your vision, and dig tunnels into the city."

"At the same time, the lord must also order the three armies and the battalions to build various siege equipment and make a fierce attack to confuse the enemy and launch a surprise attack."

Guo Jia was meticulous and talked broadly.

"Great charity, this plan is very wonderful." Cao Cao laughed and said loudly: "In this way, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun will definitely think that our army will attack Yecheng and seek help from Zhang Xiu."

At this point, Cao Cao looked at the generals beside him and said, "Cao Ren, you will lead 30,000 infantrymen, build soil and dig the way, and take the initiative to attack Yecheng as the military advisor said."

"No!" Cao Ren responded with his fists.

"Li Dian, Le Jin, Zhuji Ru assisted him." Cao Cao looked at everyone again and said.

"No!" The three of them responded.

"Xu Huang, Yu Jin, you two lead two cavalry and six thousand infantry. You are on the way to Zhi County. If Zhang Xiu leaves the distance and seeks far away, you must intercept and kill them."

Cao Cao swept his eyes over and said coldly.

"No!" The two clasped their fists.

"The other generals will follow me to Yecheng and Duyang official road to kill Zhang Xiu." Cao Cao shouted with a strong voice.

After saying that, Cao Cao ordered the coachman to turn back and said at the same time: "Cao Ren, after the besieged city, he asked someone to make a scramble to make land and climb high."

"No!" Cao Ren bowed his head and responded.

......

The next day, on the city wall.

Looking at the earthen mountains built outside the city, Huang Zhong looked solemn and his eyes narrowed slightly.

On the side, Zhao Yun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Hansheng, Cao's army wants to climb high and shoot. Why don't I lead the iron cavalry to rush out and destroy the enemy's earthen mountain?"

"Otherwise, waiting for the enemy's earth to set up well will be detrimental to our army."

Huang Zhong did not answer, but murmured to himself: "Cao Cao actually wants to attack Ye Cheng?"
