    There were heavy troops outside Hongnong City, but inside the city was peaceful, not at all nervous because of the enemy siege.

    Because Liu Cong, the king of Han, was in the city, and Huang Zhong, the first general of the Han Dynasty, was in charge, no one would worry about the city being breached.

    In recent days, the Wei army has not attacked the city. Perhaps because of that battle, Huang Zhong fought alone against three Wei generals, Li Dian, Xu Yi, and Dian Man, and won. The morale of the Wei army dropped sharply, so Xu Huang did not let his soldiers  They attacked the city, and the two sides just faced off.

    If Xu Huang does not attack the city, Liu Cong will naturally not send troops out of the city. He will just let Liu Min and Gong Zhi take turns patrolling to prevent the Wei army from sneak attacks, and at the same time let the soldiers and generals take turns to rest.

    The number of soldiers in Tianwang Camp has expanded to 20,000. Now the speed of transmitting information is very fast, and the information detected is getting more and more detailed.  Details of the progress of the five armies of the Wei-Wu coalition were sent to the commanders and military advisors of the major corps, and also to the study of Liu Cong, King of Han Dynasty, in Hongnong City.  Liu Cong was very satisfied with this.  Liu Cong still admired some counselors during this period, and even said he was a little afraid of them.  However, intelligence work can be done to such an extent that there will no longer be cases of being confused and being attacked without knowing the circumstances.

    Liu Cong and Cheng Gongying are paying attention to all aspects of intelligence every day. However, under normal circumstances, Liu Cong will not participate in the decision-making. The decision-making power on the battlefield lies in the hands of the commander-in-chief.

    "My lord, Taishi Ci was marching very fast, like a sharp sword, piercing Runan. But after arriving in Runan, he found that the whole place was empty. Now he is in the ancient city, and he doesn't know whether to advance or retreat!" Cheng Gongying read it.  Said after the battle report.

    "Actually, Taishi Ci should have thought of this situation. We don't have many soldiers and horses in the entire Yuzhou, and we have to deal with the two armies of Wei and Wu. We don't have any troops to invest in Runan. It's just that Taishi Ci didn't know clearly. He wants to stay in Runan  How long? And in which direction should the troops march? When the food and grass he brought runs out, he should be anxious." Liu Cong looked relaxed.

    "My lord, Cao Cao and Sun Quan dispatched a total of 170,000 troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. It seems that this time they have a big plan!" Cheng Gongying took out some information and compared it with each other, his face full of worry,  "Our Central Plains Corps, Guandong Corps, plus Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's cavalry, total 110,000, which is a lot of troops, but there are too many places to defend!"

    "How can we possibly defend the land of two states, more than twenty counties, and more than a hundred county towns?" Liu Cong shook his head, "If it were a foreign invasion, even if the whole army was wiped out, they would not give up an inch of ground.  If we let them in, our people will be killed or enslaved. But the situation is different when the princes are fighting for hegemony. There is no need to waste the lives of soldiers for one city and one place. I have already sent an order to Wei Yan and Deng Ai, except for Guandu and Baima.  Except for some important ferries and cities that need to be defended, if they want to take the others, let them take them! When they are defeated, we will hunt down and recover them! The lives of the soldiers are much more important than the city.  !¡±

    "My lord is wise!"

    "Actually, I am not worried about Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and there is no need to worry about Jingzhou!" Liu Cong has also been thinking about it carefully these two days. He feels that every place has been carefully arranged, but sometimes there is something in his heart.  Feeling a little panicked and wondering what the problem is?

    "My lord, are you still worried?"

    "Uncle Wen, if you think about it again, where do we still have loopholes?"

    "My lord and his subordinates have thought about it carefully and there should be no loopholes. If the Wei and Wu coalition forces send troops from these five directions, then they will definitely be defeated this time!"

    Liu Cong nodded, it should be absolutely foolproof.  As soon as the Yizhou Corps arrives and the fighting in Jiangdong begins, the Wei and Wu coalition forces will be defeated.

    Outside the city, in Xu Huang's handsome tent, military advisor Liu Ye hurried in.

    "Gongming, I thought we should send troops to attack the city!"

    "Zi Yang, the Han army is heavily defended. If we attack forcefully, we will only lose soldiers in vain. Moreover, it is impossible to capture Hongnong City. Why did Zi Yang say this?" Xu Huang was a little surprised. They stood still and did not move. It was originally agreed upon.  of.

    "Gongming, I have thought about it carefully. The King of Han is very thoughtful. If we stand still, he is very likely to discover our plan! Therefore, we can only attack the city so that he has no time to think about it!"

    "This" Xu Huang thought for a while, "Zi Yang's words are reasonable. When someone comes, beat the drum and gather the generals immediately!"

    "No!"

    Soon after the soldiers went out, the drums of the gathering outside the commander's tent rang.

    Soon, all the generals, including the captain, the army commander, etc. came to the commander's tent in neat clothes.

    "Generals, we have been outside Hongnong City for several days, and now the soldiersIt is a good time to capture Hongnong City.  Liu Cong, the King of Han, is in the city. As long as we attack the city, we can capture the King of Han and achieve immortal feats. I wonder which general is willing to lead his army to attack the city?  "

    "The general is willing to lead his army to attack the city!"

    "The last general is willing to attack the city!"

    After Xu Huang finished speaking, the generals of the Wei army in the commander's tent suddenly became excited. During this period, they were just confronting the city, and they had already suppressed their emotions.  Is the 50,000-strong army coming here just for show?  Now the city is finally about to be attacked, and everyone is rushing to fight.

    Xu Huang looked at the mood of the generals and was very satisfied, and his military morale was available.

    "With Dianman Xu Yi, I order you two to lead 6,000 soldiers and horses, and bring siege equipment to attack Hongnong City immediately."

    "General, you will obey the order!" Dianman and Xu Yi were very excited when they heard it, and their voices were very loud.

    The other generals were a little disappointed, even a little jealous.  But there is no way. Although Dianman and Xu Yi are average in ability, their father is too tough. Even though he is dead, his influence is still there!  How can you compete with others?

    After Dian Man and Xu Yi left the commander's account, they immediately ordered six thousand soldiers and horses, and brought dozens of taels of thunderbolt chariots. They pushed the arrow tower, carried the knocking wood, and carried the ladder, and formed two formations.  Slowly approaching Hongnong City.

    Generals Liu Min and Gongzhi, who were patrolling in Hongnong City, heard the sound of war drums from the Wei army gathering outside the city. He sent people to report to the lord Liu Cong and led his soldiers to the top of the city.

    By the time Liu Cong, Huang Zhong and Cheng Gongying boarded the city tower with several hundred people, the top of the city was already ready.  Various defensive equipment were arranged neatly, the soldiers set up shields at the crenellations of the city wall, and the crossbowmen had their arrows on their strings.

    "My lord, it seems that Xu Huang is going to attack this time!" Looking at the slowly approaching Wei soldiers, the old general Huang Zhong was not worried at all, but was full of excitement.

    After Dianman and Xu Yi led their troops to the city, the thunderbolt chariots were lined up, and the soldiers immediately loaded stones.  There is not much time, everything is ready.  Xu Yi waved the sword in his hand and shouted, "Attack the city!"

    With a whistling sound, the stones flew densely towards the city head.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
