Chapter 247
Zhuge Ke was overjoyed when he heard this and asked quickly: "Will the plan come out?"
Quan Cong chuckled and said, "The one who killed the general was Cao Liang, the Wei army's senator. If Yuan Xun got this person, he could avenge the general. It would be insignificant to attack Anfeng City."
Zhuge Ke nodded and said, "What General Quan said is that Cao Liang was the only one who asked for it. He could not capture Anfeng City, and fell secondly. However, Cao Liang was a Wei army joining the army. If Anfeng is not defeated, how could he capture Cao Liang?"
Quan Cong said: "Anfeng City was surrounded by our army and was out of water. I believe the city knew nothing about the arrival of two reinforcements from the Wei army, so we can take this opportunity to siege the city without fighting. Just shout to the city and ask it to hand over Cao Liang, and we will withdraw immediately. In order to survive, the troops in the city may hand over Cao Liang. In this way, Yuan Xun can kill his enemies and avenge his father. Our army can also quickly evacuate to avoid enemy wars."
Bu Zhi slapped his thigh and shouted, "A good idea. We didn't expect in advance to save one person and save tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Anfeng City. This deal is too cost-effective. I guess the Wei people will agree to it with ease."
Zhuge Ke was still frowning. If it was so simple, why did he struggle to attack Anfeng City? Zhuge Ke had sent someone to investigate. Although Cao Liang was just a member of the army, he was a royal family member and son of Gaoling Hou. He had a prominent position and was obviously impossible for the Wei army to give up such an important figure easily.
However, Zhuge Ke has no good idea now. If the Wu army does not retreat, he will suffer even heavier losses. If the news reaches Sun Quan, who has always cherished his troops, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Therefore, Zhuge Ke was a slaughter of his horse and decided to adopt Quan Cong's suggestion and force the Wei army to hand over the people.
In the previous siege, Zhuge Ke was divided into troops. Each battalion and division took turns to fight, and did not put all in one fell swoop, because if you want to maintain a sustainable offensive ability, you had to properly distribute troops, otherwise it would be easy to experience weakness in succession.
Of course, this action was different from the past. When the Wu army was about to withdraw its troops, there was no need to preserve its strength. Therefore, Zhuge Ke also decided to devote all his strength to attack again. If it was best to attack, it would be better if it could not be captured. If it could not be captured, it would use this power to force the people in the city to kill two birds with one stone.
Zhuge Ke planned for a while and immediately put it into practice. The three armies of Wu army came out in full swing and headed straight to Anfeng City. At the same time, they launched a fierce attack on the four gates of Anfeng City.
In the past, the Wu army's attacks often focused on one direction, either east, west, south or north. Even if they attacked several city gates at the same time, there must be a division between the main and the secondary. Among them, the main attack was the same route, and the others were auxiliary attacks.
Today, the Wu army suddenly changed the way of attack, and tried their best to attack the four gates of Anfeng City. The pressure on the defenders was extremely huge.
Wang Ji did not dare to take it lightly, so he discussed with Cao Liang, and immediately transferred the reserve team to defend the four gates respectively to deal with the sudden full-scale attack of the Wu army.
The Wu army rushed over to the sky and the entire Anfeng City, no matter which direction it looked, was boundless, like a black cloud, vast and terrifying. Even if the Wei army's guards were determined and had never experienced such a battle, they would inevitably feel uneasy.
Could it be that Wu is going crazy?
Wang Ji was a little confused. In fact, the Wu army's siege equipment was limited. No matter how many troops it sent, it would be impossible for them to participate in the siege. They could only continue to do so. Only when the soldiers in front were injured and broke, the ones behind had the chance to take turns to fight.
The Wu army came out in full swing and the entire army was begging, which was more of a power, which had a psychological impact on the defenders. Therefore, Wang Ji ordered the troops to hold on to the city and fight hard, and not be scared by the enemy's power.
In fact, Zhuge Ke was just bluffing. If this method was effective, he would have adopted it long ago. Siege combat is different from field combat. Sometimes too many troops cannot be used. Only by continuously attacking and maintaining a high-pressure state can we put pressure on the defenders, and then find the flaws of the defenders and conquer the city.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost done, Zhuge Ke immediately ordered the Wu army to suspend the attack.
After the Wu army received the order, they retreated a little and retreated outside the original moat, but they did not withdraw completely, and they still maintained the power of black clouds over the city.
Zhuge Ke rode his horse forward, stopped the war horse outside the ground with an arrow, and surrounded by the generals, shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Where is Zhuge Ke, I wonder which one is the prefect of Wang Ji?"
The generals of the Wei army were deeply puzzled. They didn't know what it was to sell Zhuge Ke's gourd. After fighting for so many days, they came out to shout at this time. Could it be that they were going to negotiate?
Wang Ji sneered, Zhuge Ke came forward in person, just to recruit surrender. As a result, the Wu army had many soldiers, but they never got any advantage in the siege. It was a joke that if they put so many people on the battlefield, they could scare the Wei army's guards!
However, since the other party shouted, Wang Ji naturally couldn't be afraid. He poked out half of his body from the top of the city and said loudly: "I'm Wang Ji below. I wonder what General Zhuge is doing?"
Zhuge Ke said: "I have no grudges with the prefect of Wang in the past and no grudges recently. I have come to besiege the city these days and make your army suffer more casualties. I am deeply sorry."
Wang Ji sneered secretly and said, "Why do you apologize when the two countries are fighting? You and I will be the master of their own affairs and should do their best. General Zhuge is a hero in Jiangdong, and he is also often known. If you have the fate to be an opponent of the general, it is also a pleasure for life. In today's battle, you and I will rely on your abilities, and each will be determined to win or lose. If General Zhuge wants to persuade him to surrender, he will persuade the general to avoid opening his mouth. You and I will still be able to distinguish between the superiors and the inferiors on the battlefield!"
Zhuge Ke shook his head and said, "The King of Prefect Wang is steadfast and unyielding, and has always had a reputation. I don't know how I didn't intend to destroy the King of Prefect Wang's reputation. It was just that the army confronted me, but it affected the people. The King of Prefect Wang has been in charge of Anfeng for many years. Could it be that he would not succeed in thinking about how to avoid the disaster of swords and weapons?"
Wang Ji laughed and said, "It is not difficult for General Zhuge to be such a kind-hearted gentleman. He only needs a military order and retreat. Why do you need to say too much?"
Zhuge Ke said in a deep voice: "It is not impossible to withdraw a certain army. As long as the prefect Wang handed over one person, the prefect Wang immediately withdrew his troops and never violated him from now on. I wonder what the prefect Wang wanted?"
