It is a blessing, not a curse, but it is a curse that cannot be avoided. No matter what, this battle is inevitable. No matter what, Wang Ji will not allow Anfeng City to suffer any loss. This is not only related to his own wealth and life, but also to the people in Anfeng City.

The safety of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians is in danger.

As a prefect in a border county bordering Wu State, you have to be prepared for war at all times. Wars between Wu and Wei are frequent, with small fights every three years and big fights every five years. Wars are commonplace, so no matter where the Wu army goes,

Wang Ji won't be surprised if an attack comes. All he needs to do is fulfill his duties, defend the city, and protect the people.

It was already late at night. Logically speaking, the Wu army would not attack again at this time. However, Wang Ji still ordered the soldiers guarding the city to stay where they were and rest in shifts. At least one third of the soldiers remained awake and kept a close eye on them.

They stayed under the city to guard against a sneak attack by the Wu army.

Cao Liang saw everything and nodded secretly. Although Wang Ji was not as famous as Deng Ai, Yang Hu, and Du Yu in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he was still a rare and famous general. He was rigorous in running the army and extremely knowledgeable.

There is a strategy, and when I saw it today, it really lived up to its name.

Although it is said that Wang Ji became a powerful general under the Sima family after the Sima family came to power. He made extraordinary contributions to quelling the three rebellions in Huainan, but at this moment he is not a direct descendant of the Sima family. Wang Ji was first influenced by Wang Ji.

Ling Tibo became the governor of Qingzhou. After Cao Shuang came to power, he appreciated his talent and was appointed as the governor of Anfeng.

It can be said that Wang Ji has not yet established any relationship with the Sima family. Cao Liang couldn't help but secretly calculate that such a general could not be poached by the Sima family. It seemed that he had to find other ways to win him over.

Come to your own camp, this will undoubtedly give you another boost.

However, it seems a bit difficult to recruit Wang Ji now, because he is not like the lowly Deng Ai Shibao, nor like the Yanghu Du Yu who has not yet served as an official. The current Wang Ji has already become the prefect of two thousand stones, and

He will be promoted soon. It is not difficult to become a governor or a governor. However, his official position is much lower than that of him. It is not easy to win over him.

Therefore, Cao Liang was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he established a good relationship with Wang Ji, built up their feelings, and waited until he had the opportunity to take action in the future.

At least Cao Liang left a good first impression on Wang Ji. He was calm in the face of danger and not soft-handed at critical moments. He defeated the vanguard of the Wu army in one fell swoop and killed Zhuge Jin. Wang Ji was also impressed. Although

There is some luck involved, but taking the head of a general among thousands of troops is really something worthy of special mention.

Heroes cherish heroes. Wang Ji and Cao Liang felt like old friends at first sight. They chatted happily and seemed to regret meeting each other late. It was a pity that there was no wine tonight, otherwise the two of them could have stayed drunk without returning.

Unconsciously, it was already the third watch. Wang Ji quickly said: "It's getting late. Cao Canjun should rest early. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow. How about we join hands to kill the enemy?"

"Only." Cao Liang agreed.

Wang Ji has already arranged Cao Liang's residence for him. Cao Liang can sleep peacefully, but Wang Ji does not take off his armor and sticks to the front line of the city.

All I could do was lean against the wall and take a nap.

Before the fifth watch, Cao Liang was awakened by the rumbling drums. He quickly got up and asked, only to learn that there was an enemy attack and the Wu army had already begun to attack the city.

Cao Liang turned back to the house and woke up Ren Lan, who was sleeping soundly: "Ren Changshi, the Wu army has begun to attack the city. Please summon the army to fight immediately!"

Ren Lan was sleepy and tired, and he slept very deeply. When Cao Liang told him that there was an enemy attack, his sleepiness disappeared immediately. He quickly got up, dressed neatly, and sent an order to summon all the troops of the Southern Army.

Ready to fight.

Wu Jun's attack was indeed earlier than expected. At dawn, they launched an attack on Anfeng City.

The main reason was that Zhuge Ke stayed up all night. The revenge for killing his father was like a maggot attached to his bones, gnawing at his soul and making him suffer terribly. If this revenge is not avenged for a day, the enemy will not be decapitated for a day.

He couldn't have any peace for a day.

So when all the Wu soldiers in the camp fell asleep, Zhuge Ke was sitting in the camp, looking at the dark Anfeng City in trance.

It is an indisputable fact that Wu's army lacked the ability to attack fortresses. Cao's army was defeated so miserably in Chibi that everyone thought Jingzhou was within easy reach. However, Jiangdong's army fought for a full year before they captured Nanjun, and Xiangyang County has not yet been conquered.

It is also impossible to get involved. Wu Jun's ability to attack difficult situations is indeed evident.

Anfeng is an important fortress in Huainan. The Wei army has worked hard for many years. A few days ago, Zhuge Ke wanted to rely on the bravery and fierceness of the Danyang soldiers to capture Anfeng City in one fell swoop.

After several days, they were unable to break through Anfeng City's defenses, and could only look at the city and sigh.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Zhuge Ke's failure to do his best. The siege of Anfeng City was originally just a bait. The purpose was to attract reinforcements from the Wei army to cross the river. The real main battlefield of the Wu army was at Anfengdu. At that time, Anfeng was conquered.

The city is the best, and it doesn't matter if it can't be conquered. As long as the Wei army's reinforcements take the bait, that's enough.

Attacking Anfeng again this time, Zhuge Ke's thoughts and mood changed drastically. This time he was determined to win Anfeng City, and he would win Anfeng City at all costs.

Not only did he want to pull Cao Liang out of the Wei army, peel off his skin and cramps, crush his bones and raise ashes, but everyone in Anfeng City must die. Zhuge Ke wanted to chop off everyone's head to pay homage to his late father's spirit in heaven.

This will be Zhuge Ke's revenge. Since the Wei people have done so absolutely, not even sparing Zhuge Jin's body, then they must bear the fire of Zhuge Ke's revenge. Zhuge Ke wants to kill all the people in Anfeng City.

Everyone's head, tooth for tooth, blood for blood.

This night, Zhuge Ke felt that it was longer than a hundred years. As soon as the dawn showed, he ordered everyone to assemble. The rumbling drums woke up all the Wu soldiers from their sleep, and they hurriedly gathered together.

With a gloomy look on his face, Zhuge Ke issued the order to attack and at the same time reiterated the reward.

This time the reward was announced to the whole army, instead of being only known to the generals and officers like last time. Tang Ziliu praised that it would be impossible for them to deceive others.

As soon as they heard about the reward, the soldiers of Wu Army suddenly became excited and their drowsiness disappeared. It was hard not to be tempted by such a generous reward. Wu soldiers were all yelling, and the shouts of killing were deafening. Soon, Wu Army came to the city and attacked.
