"Lord, the enemy's troops raided the Youcheng City and had captured the Xicheng Gate of Youcheng."

"Report to the lord, the enemy is expanding north and south along the city wall and occupying the building positions inside the west city gate!"

Cao Cao was silent and stared at the map for a while without saying a word!

Fang Zhiwen was really too cunning. Fang Zhiwen attacked Youcheng, which was undoubtedly the only way to Cao Cao's thoughts. The script was just a good start, and then it developed in a direction that was getting worse and worse.

Cao Cao was also very embarrassed now. Around the city lord's mansion in Youcheng, there were indeed ambushing the most elite 50,000 heavy infantry of the Cao army. Cao Cao's command was also located here. Cao Cao was waiting for Fang Zhiwen to come to the door. At that time, the reinforcements in the Zuocheng were dispatched to cooperate with the heavy infantry commanded by Cao Cao, and use the complex terrain in the city to limit the power of Fang Zhiwen's cavalry, and then attacked internally and externally. Even if Fang Zhiwen could not be wiped out completely in the city, he could severely damage Fang Zhiwen and lay the foundation for future battles.

Unfortunately, Fang Zhiwen was not in a hurry to attack the city, but established a solid position near the city gate and slowly advanced into the city. Once Fang Zhiwen discovered the ambush hiding near the city lord, Fang Zhiwen chose to retreat voluntarily, or turn to attack Zuocheng, or occupy favorable terrain to fight Cao Cao's position, which is possible, while Cao Cao would be much more passive. The last trump card was lifted, and Cao Cao deliberately arranged a very scattered army, which might be eaten by Fang Zhiwen.

However, Cao Cao could not do anything now. At this point, Cao Cao realized that he was too smart to do everything, and the last stone finally hit him in the foot.

Cao Cao finally chose to defend himself. He mobilized the heavy infantry ambushing around the city lord's mansion, confronted Fang Zhiwen across the barricade, and then ordered the attacking troops to withdraw in the direction of the city. He attempted to drive Fang Zhiwen away.

However, Fang Zhiwen immediately divided his troops and left a small number of troops to restrain Cao's army. The main force suddenly launched an attack on Zuocheng. Although Zuocheng's defending troops had nearly 60,000, the cavalry attacked the city at night, and the city walls on all sides needed defense, which put the defense's defense pressure on them very high.

Moreover, the trump cards of both sides have been opened. Cao Cao no longer has the possibility of continuing to play tricks. The Zhexin, which Fang Zhiwen chose as the trump cards of his personal army, can be played at this time.

Under Fang Zhiwen and Guo Jia personally led the capture of the east gate of Zuocheng. Then the battle of Zuocheng concentrated towards the east gate. Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao had to lead the defenders of Youcheng to help, but was attacked by Li Yuanzhi halfway. Cao Cao had no high-level generals around him. The heavy infantry in the marching were not armed. Although he was not completely wiped out, he could no longer provide effective support to Zuocheng.

Finally, before the Cao army's troops returned to the rescue arrived, Fang Zhiwen successfully captured Zuocheng City Lord's Mansion and completed the mission of breaking through the level.

Cao Cao's defeat was due to his strategy. It is good to win by surprise, but if he doesn't win, he will definitely lose miserably. Of course, Cao Cao's choice may not be wrong. Even if he chooses a steady style of play, he may still fail in the end. After all, this is just a copy, and it will not be impossible to complete, and there will be too many variables.

At the end of the copy, Fang Zhiwen looked at Cao Cao and the generals under his command, but there was no pleasure in winning the battle. Even if the opposite side was the real Cao Cao, Fang Zhiwen would not feel very proud. Cao Cao did not win under Fang Zhiwen. In Fang Zhiwen's opinion, it was just a matter of course to defeat Cao Cao.

"Congratulations, you can pass the test, but you don't seem to be in a high mood!"

"You're showing up again? Why not join the battle in person?"

"Haha, you're too confident. If I join the battle myself, do you think you can win?"

"I don't know, how could I know if I haven't fought!"

"I know what you think, how could you win?"

"Do you really know what I think?"

Fang Zhiwen looked at Cao Cao with interest. Of course, that was just a shell of Cao Cao.

"What do you think?"

"I thought you definitely didn't know, because that would be very boring. Don't you think that interesting is the most important thing!"

'Cao Cao' sighed and nodded with a smile: "You are very smart. You are right. I really don't know what you are thinking or even what everyone is thinking. I don't know. This rule is necessary. Do you know why?"

"If that's the case, I'll probably be very tired!"

"Haha... Not bad, not bad, that would make you exhausted! That would be too boring. Okay, I'm very happy to chat with you, but don't worry, it's better to complete the task first!"

After saying that, the expression on Cao Cao's face quickly faded away. Fang Zhiwen saw it very interesting. These acquaintances standing in front of him are all empty shells. So whether a person is himself or not does not depend on the outer shell at all. In the end, it depends on the soul. The soul is the essence of the human being!

Fang Zhiwen shook his head, ignored these empty shells, and continued to climb up along the long ladder, and was also guessing in his heart that his next opponent was Liu Bei or Sima Fang?

....................................

There were also a group of people who appeared at the fourth level, Sima Fang and his generals and counselors. Looking at this group of relatively unfamiliar people, Fang Zhiwen paid more attention to the youngest scholar. Although Sima Yi looked more mature, his familiar expression immediately attracted Fang Zhiwen's attention.

"This level of mission is to capture Chang'an, a giant city that our army defends. Our army has 500,000 infantry and cavalry guarding the city. You can choose 22,000 cavalry or 52,000 infantry on your own. The time is not limited, the supply is required, and the physical energy will be automatically restored at midnight."

Since it was pointed out that it was Chang'an City, the map would no longer be completely black like the previous level. Except for a few areas, the map was almost completely open. From the map, Sima Fang did not arrange defenders in Chang'an City except for a few acropolis, and there were no friendly troops around.

Fang Zhiwen's troops were located not far west of Tongguan. Although there were no enemy troops around, Sima Fang also acted as if he was defending the city. However, for security reasons, Fang Zhiwen still stopped moving and sent a large number of scouts to investigate the details of the entire battlefield.

Sima Fang did adhere to his usual character, that is, to be cautious. On the periphery of Chang'an, Sima Fang did not arrange ambush. It seemed that he was preparing to rely on the city to fight a serious defensive battle. However, Fang Zhiwen knew that Sima Fang would not defend the enemy. After all, he still had at least 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in his hands. If he was not careful, he might be flooded by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

This time, Fang Zhiwen selected Li Ru as his military advisor. The army used the strongest infantry Gao Shun's camp and Wenpin's infantry battalion. He also specially selected Tian Yu, Huang Zhong, Murong Fang, and Yuwen Boyan, who were both capable of infantry and cavalry, as deputy generals, forming the strongest infantry legion in his hands.

The battle began. Fang Zhiwen, who had figured out the battlefield, approached Chang'an slowly and quickly, and set up camp early on about twenty miles outside Chang'an City. Then Fang Zhiwen began to build a camp in a big way. It seemed that he was not here to attack the city, but to build the city!

This is actually easy to understand. Before Fang Zhiwen considers how to attack Chang'an, he must first solve the problem of being attacked by the enemy's large cavalry. If Sima Fang concentrates 100,000 cavalry to launch an attack while Fang Zhiwen is unprepared, it will be a very bad situation!

When he learned that Fang Zhiwen had set up camp twenty miles away, Sima Fang couldn't help but shake his head. He had planned to carry out a large-scale cavalry assault at about ten miles, but he didn't expect that Fang Zhiwen was so cunning that he actually set up camp early and used cavalry to attack the enemy's camp. Moreover, Fang Zhiwen, who was the title of defense master, was guarded by Fang Zhiwen, who was indeed a defense master. Sima Fang really had no confidence.

"Father, the child thought the cavalry should be allowed to attack, at least he had to look at Fang Zhiwen and be able to respond at any time!"

"Well...how many cavalry soldiers are appropriate?"

"Forty thousand, this will allow the three armies to rotate and have enough combat power!"

"It's feasible, let's arrange it like this. The first army is led by Zhang Xiu, Li Jue of the Second Army, and Guo Si of the Third Army."

"promise!"

"Wait," Sima Fang called Sima Yi who turned around and was about to leave: "Tell them that they are not allowed to make decisions on their own in everything!"

"But my father will not accept foreign military orders, and the battlefield changes rapidly. If you ask for instructions in everything, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity?"

"Fighter jets? We don't need any fighter jets. What we need is that we cannot let Fang Zhiwen catch the fighter jets. The purpose of the cavalry is to restrain, not attack. With the giant city of Chang'an and 500,000 defenders, I don't believe that Fang Zhiwen can break through Chang'an with the 50,000 infantry in his hands."

"But no matter how many soldiers there are, they will die if they are just unilateral slaughter."

"One-sided massacre? This is a giant city. The height of the city wall and the bonus of the city are enough to offset Fang Zhiwen's advantage. One-sided massacre is simply impossible."

"This... obey the order!"

Although Sima Yi had some different opinions, without emotional interference, Sima Yi strictly adhered to his cautious personality and respect for his father, and did not continue to argue.

Fang Zhiwen naturally didn't know that Sima Fang had issued an order to the cavalry that he could only view from afar and restrain, but could not attack, so he was still very careful to guard against Sima Fang's cavalry. After all, those were not decorations, but the extremely vicious Xiliang cavalry.

Fang Zhiwen's method is to roll the camp forward. Anyway, the supply can be replenished in the middle of the night. Fang Zhiwen pushes the camp forward every day and demolishes the abandoned camp. The materials are used in the camp in front. As a result, the camp is becoming stronger and stronger. When the camp is far away from Chang'an, Fang Zhiwen's camp has become as solid as a city.

Sima Yi, who was watching on the city, didn't know what to say. Fang Zhiwen's camp seemed to have life, not only would he leave, but would also grow up. This situation was really strange. If we continue to implement Sima's defense policy and wait for Fang Zhiwen to attack, I really don't know if Fang Zhiwen will build the camp directly to the edge of Chang'an City. At that time, the city walls will be close to each other, which would be fun. (To be continued...)
