Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Chapter 697 Don't give them a rest

Chen Yang's order to shoot and kill the enemy had just been handed down, and another Shu army came to harass him, but it was not a direct attack.

Zhuge Liang wanted to play psychological warfare with Chen Yang, just like when he was in Badong, he captured Guo Huan, and then he was swayed by Chen Yang, exhausting all the energy of the whole army, and finally was defeated by one blow.

The current role was reversed, and Zhuge Liang was consuming Chen Yang's energy.

Cao Ying's guards saw the enemy's torches approaching, so they raised their bows and crossbows to shoot.

The Shu army didn't expect Cao Jun to counterattack. They just thought they couldn't sleep well, so they were caught off guard, let out screams, and then left hundreds of corpses and ran away.

"Military division, Cao Jun's camp seems to have been prepared a long time ago."

Zhang Zhu was the person in charge who went to harass Cao Jun tonight. He came back and said, "Just now we were counterattacked and more than 300 people died. Those crossbow arrows are too powerful."

Zhuge Liang personally went outside the city to supervise their actions. He looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Cao Jun didn't sleep last night and was attacked by us during the day. He must not be able to sleep well tonight. Chen Yang and the others can't last much longer." After a long time, you should be exhausted, so you can fight back with bows and crossbows to drive you away so that you can sleep."

He pondered for a while, and then decided: "Take 2000 people to test it out. I want to know what is Cao Jun's current state."

I still remember that during the battle between the two armies during the day, Cao Jun's soldiers were all depressed, with haggard faces, as if they hadn't slept for several days.

Zhang Zhu took the lead and ordered 2000 people to leave.

Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Yi to bring 5000 men to follow behind Zhang Zhu. If Cao Jun really had a flaw, they would be able to rush in and break the camp today.

If Cao Jun can still persist, Zhang Yi's 5000 people will go to support Zhang Zhu's 2000 people, connecting end to end, killing two birds with one stone.

Inside Cao Ying.

"General, our scouts found out that 2000 people are coming towards us."

Cao Fan ran in and said nervously.

"It should be Zhuge Liang's temptation to us. If only 2000 people dare to come to test us, there must be someone to respond later."

Chen Yang planned in his mind for a while, and said: "We can't go directly to the battle, shoot with bows and crossbows, force the enemy to be within [-] steps of the camp. If the enemy can get close, first show weakness and retreat, and then the whole camp Come out and scare them off."

Using bows and crossbows to shoot at a long distance, so that the enemy can't test their reality, which makes Zhuge Liang suspicious.

If the bow and crossbow can't stop the enemy, Cao Jun can show weakness to show that he is not in good condition, and then the whole army will leave the camp to send wrong information to Zhuge Liang.

The enemy attacked again, and the entire barracks was alarmed at this moment. All the soldiers who could not rest on duty took up weapons and gathered on the school field.

"Come on, shoot, don't let the enemy get closer to two hundred steps!"

Cao Fan first picked up a continuous crossbow, and then suppressed it back with continuous crossbow arrows.

The Shu army knew the power of bows and crossbows, and the soldiers walking in the front all carried a shield, but the power of bows and crossbows was so powerful that they could not be blocked by ordinary shields, and were directly shot through.

After the shields were disabled, the Shu army approached within two hundred paces.

According to Chen Yang's plan, Cao Fan showed weakness first, and then the whole army left the camp.

Zhang Zhu saw Cao Jun coming out in full force, and there were only more than 2000 of the 1000 people around him in the blink of an eye. He didn't dare to confront head-on, turned around and ran away. .

"Military commander, Cao Jun could only fight back with bows and crossbows at first, and they didn't leave the camp until we were close. They looked very weak and couldn't stop us at all. If Cao Jun hadn't all left the camp, we wouldn't have escaped back." Zhang Then he briefly said what happened just now.

"In other words, Cao Jun's mental and physical strength is getting worse and worse."

Zhuge Liang smiled complacently. He did this in a way that he could use to suppress Chen Yang in a similar way to Chen Yang. There is nothing more exciting than this.

"They still have the ability to resist, which means that the plan is still a little bit off. Don't stop the harassment tonight."

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "During the day, we can't give them time to rest."

After all, he went back to the city.

Leave the rest to Zhang Zhu and Zhang Yi to arrange.

The soldiers they harassed were only part of the Shu army and had little impact on the Shu army as a whole.

"General, the enemy has retreated, but they are still harassing."

Cao Fan came back and said.

Through the rotation, they have a similar rest during the day, and can adjust their sleep time in batches at night without being too sleepy.

"It's almost enough, they won't attack again."

Chen Yang made a rough guess about Zhuge Liang's plan, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Find me some courageous people, give them a little promise, and then..."

He whispered in Cao Fan's ear for quite a while.

Cao Fan's eyes lit up, this plan is really amazing.

This evening, the harassment outside continued, but nothing else happened.

Soon after dawn, Chen Yang ordered Cao Fan to continue digging, the more the better.

As soon as Cao Fan left the barracks, the Shu army outside came to attack again, and Chen Yang had to counterattack.

The two armies held each other for almost a whole day, Zhang Zhu and Zhang Yi only attacked harassingly, but did not try their best, continuing to consume Chen Yang.

In the evening, the people who went to Jiameng Pass finally rushed back. They returned more than ten fast horses and brought back tens of thousands of bags, all of which they asked for from the people in the city.

After a while, the people from Wakou Pass also came back, and there were only more than 5000 cloth bags.

"Almost enough."

Chen Yang said excitedly: "Cao Fan, fill it up as soon as possible, and then dump all the soil in that remote place in the north of the city."

"Yes!"

Cao Fan nodded.

Meanwhile, near the city walls of Hanzhong.

"Military division, we have captured more than 50 Cao soldiers."

Zhang Yi waved his hand and asked people to chase up all the captured Cao soldiers.

These Cao soldiers had dark circles around their eyes, and their spirits couldn't be worse, as if they would fall down at any time.

"Where did you catch it?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

"On the dirt slope near the East Gate."

Zhang Yi said: "They said that there was no way to rest in Cao Ying. They hadn't slept in almost two days. They couldn't help it. They had to go out of the city and hide to find a place to sleep."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, has Cao Jun's condition reached this level?

If so, they are not far from victory.

"In Cao Ying, is everyone in the same state as you?"

Zhuge Liang looked at one of them and asked.

They were trembling with fear, not knowing whether to answer this question.

"The military division asked you something!"

Zhang Yi picked up the horsewhip and slapped a person hard.

"I said, I say everything, don't hit me!"

The beaten soldier said in panic.
