At this time, inside the barracks of the siege army.

Ma Teng, Han Sui, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others were sitting together, all of them were happy.

Although the siege failed on the first day and a lot of troops were lost, the battle losses were lower than expected.

You must know that siege is not so easy, and although Xuchang's terrain is not as advantageous as Jiangxia, it is also a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the morale of the defenders is high, it is really difficult to attack in one day.

"Sure enough, as Mr. Kong Ming said, I waited nearly a day for the siege, but no reinforcements arrived yet."

Ma Teng laughed.

Han Sui touched his beard and said happily:

"This Cao thief is too ambitious. Jiangdong is so far away from here, and he dares to fight even when his foundation is unstable."

"You can't chew too much!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said:

"Generals, we only need to besiege the city like this. Judging from the current situation, within three days, Xuchang will be destroyed."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Cao Pi would dare to stand on the city wall as a soldier. If not, how would those soldiers have any morale in Xuchang's current form?"

"Today, after our army recharges its batteries, continue the siege. This battle will surely be won!"

Hearing this sentence, Ma Teng immediately slapped the table:

"Okay! Listen to what the military adviser says!"

After all, several people toasted and drank together.

Just as everyone drank the wine in their hands, a burst of hurried footsteps came over in an instant.

"A secret agent is here to report!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang and others quickly put down their wine glasses, and the soldier delivered the secret report to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes to examine carefully, then widened his eyes, and murmured:

"Impossible?! When did he know that I was going to attack Xuchang?"

Ma Teng and the others were suddenly quite puzzled, and they came forward and asked:

"Military division, could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, and Han Sui hurriedly said:

"Approximately how many people are there?"

"As I expected, there are about five thousand people."

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, and said coldly.

Ma Teng suddenly laughed and said:

"There are only 5,000 reinforcements, why is the military commander so flustered? Seeing the military commander's expression just now, I thought there were tens of thousands of people coming."

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, looked at Ma Teng and said:

"Don't underestimate the 5,000 people in this area. These 5,000 people should have come all the way from Jingzhou. They are all elite tiger and leopard cavalry. Although our army is large in number, the leader of these tiger and leopard cavalry is Bai Feng. .”

"Bai Feng?"

Before Ma Teng and others could speak, Liu Bei stood up directly.

Why is he here? !

Ma Teng and Han Sui were puzzled when they saw the eyes of the two as if seeing a plague god.

Who is this Bai Feng, who actually made Wolong and Liu Xuande like this?

Zhuge Liang said in a low voice:

"The plan has changed now. Since the tiger and leopard riders are coming this way, they must save Xu Chang. I will fight quickly and take control of Xu Chang as soon as possible!"

Although I don't know why Zhuge Liang is so anxious, but obviously this is not a joke.

Ma Teng also seemed to feel the seriousness of the matter, and quickly stood up and walked towards the door, gathering troops and horses to prepare for the second wave of attacking the city.

At the same time, Xuchang city head.

Although Cao Pi, who didn't know Bai Feng's arrival, had a bitter expression on his face, he gritted his teeth, changed into new clothes, and ordered several people to bring several buckets of water to distribute to the soldiers.

"You guys have worked hard. Today's bandit army is bound to be fierce. For the sake of the family behind us, we must not take half a step back!"

Cao Pi said impassionedly while pouring water for the sergeant himself.

"My lord is righteous! We will swear to defend the city to the death!"

"Young master was also injured yesterday, it's better to rest early, leave this place to us!"

"That's right, son, your life is more important than ours. If you make a mistake, how can we fight the enemy bravely?"

"..."

Hearing what the sergeants said, Cao Pi was quite moved, but he still said:

"If I can't fight with the soldiers, I will feel uneasy! Xuchang is the place where I was born and where my father made his fortune. Without Xuchang, I would not be who I am today, not even Prime Minister Cao."

"For the sake of my homeland, I also want to lead the way and keep the bandits away thousands of miles away!"

When the morale of the soldiers was high, Xun You who was on the side came over and called Cao Pi in a low voice.

"Mr. Xun, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, Cao Pi followed Xun You to a secluded corner and asked.

"Hey, son, the spies have just been reported, and now the bandit army has already started to prepare for the second round of attack, and at this time, they are using the whole force to attack the north gate, and no longer besiege the city!"

"What?"

Cao Pi was shocked.

If there is no siege, it can only explain one thing.

Liu Bei is in a hurry!

If you only focus on one siege, you can indeed break through the city faster, but it is not like a siege. If soldiers from other four places come to fight in the streets, it is definitely not as good as the siege for the besiegers.

Unless someone is putting pressure on Liu Bei!

But there were no reinforcements at all at this time. What made Liu Bei choose this strategy?

Cao Pi really can't figure it out, but the situation is urgent now, I'm afraid the north gate can't be defended.

"My lord, you should go back first. The enemy army is coming fiercely and is about to destroy the city. If your lord dies here, how should I explain to the prime minister!"

Speaking of this, Xun You was really anxious.

The spies brought only these and nothing else, that is to say, there was probably no reinforcements, but Liu Bei wanted to enter the city first because he was afraid that Cheng would come at night.

"Could it be that Liu Bei wants to massacre the city?"

Cao Pi thought for a long time, narrowed his eyes and said.

Xun You shook his head:

"Liu Bei has always put the people first, and he also used this name of benevolence and righteousness to attract the masses of the world. I'm afraid it was Ma Teng's intention."

"Liu Bei has only 30,000 sergeants, while the Xiliang army has more than 100,000 soldiers. From this point of view, it seems that Ma Teng, Han Sui and others can't wait."

Speaking of this, a voice suddenly came from the top of the city wall:

"The enemy army is coming, prepare, prepare, defend the enemy!"

Cao Pi was startled, and hurried to the top of the city wall.

Xun You wanted to hold Cao Pi back, but he couldn't keep up.

"Mr. Xun doesn't need to say much. Right now we will defend the city with all our might. You go and gather the other three guards to come to the north gate."

"If the north gate is breached, we must try our best to ensure the safety of the people, evacuate the people first, and prepare for street fighting!"

After all, Cao Pi left quickly.

Xun You looked at the back of Cao Pi leaving, and for some reason, he still thought of the time when the prime minister was fighting Yuan Shao.

"My lord, be careful!"

After Xun You cupped his hands, he quickly turned around and walked towards the city:

"Wait, go and inform the other three soldiers and horses! Evacuate the people!"
