Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Gu Rubing stood up and looked at Deng Ai in front of him.

"Tell the soldiers to hold on a little longer. Calculate the distance. Our first wave of reinforcements will be arriving soon."

"Yes!"

Deng Ai nodded immediately.

Gu Rubing walked to the city wall and saw countless heads below the wall, which made Gu Rubing feel quite pressured.

"My lord, we counted the number of people. The Wei army has at least 60,000 men. This time, the Wei army has gone all out."

After hearing Zhong Hui's report, everything seemed normal, but Gu Rubing always had a bad feeling in his heart.

The opponent is Jiang Wei. Once this reasonable situation occurs, it becomes the most unreasonable thing.

Gu Rubing had no time to think about it, as the Xiahou brothers had already begun attacking the city.

Looking at the melee, Gu Rubing put aside his doubts. After all, defending the city was the most important thing now.

It didn't take long before the Xiahou brothers personally led the siege team directly onto the city wall.

After seeing the two people appear, Zhang Liao directly raised the Yellow Dragon Sickle Hook Knife and rushed towards them.

Gu Rubing was worried that Zhang Liao was no match for him, so he immediately asked Deng Ai to go and help.

Without Deng Ai, the only commanders now are Zhong Hui and Gu Rubing.

However, in the chaotic situation, it was difficult for the two to convey their orders thoroughly.

In order to ensure a successful siege, Jiang Wei first surrounded all four city gates and then attacked the city from all four gates together.

Soon, the north gate was lost.

After hearing the deputy general's report, Gu Rubing immediately sent Zhong Hui over.

"Everyone, hold on a little longer. Our reinforcements will be here soon."

Gu Rubing knew that as long as the reinforcements from Liangzhou arrived, the situation in the city would be completely reversed.

When they heard that reinforcements were coming, all the soldiers were like chickens with their blood pumped up, and rushed towards the Wei army that was rushing up the city wall without caring about their lives.

However, after hearing what Gu Rubing shouted, the Xiahou brothers forced Zhang Liao back and then burst out laughing.

"Are you still hoping that reinforcements from Liangzhou will reach you?"

Zhang Liao didn't say anything, but looking at their reactions, he already felt that something was wrong.

After the two men finished speaking, they rushed towards Zhang Liao again.

However, at this moment, Deng Ai raised his knife and blocked the attacks of the two men.

The powerful strength of the two men directly knocked Deng Ai away.

After Deng Ai fell to the ground, it took him a long time to get up, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao immediately came to Deng Ai and helped him up.

Afterwards, Zhang Liao told Deng Ai his guess and asked Deng Ai to return to Gu Rubing first.

Deng Ai's strength is far inferior to that of the Xiahou brothers.

Such a Deng Ai could not provide him with any help.

There is even a feeling of being a bit of a drag.

After hearing Zhang Liao's analysis, Deng Ai no longer had any intention of staying here and rushed to Gu Rubing's side.

"My Lord, General Wenyuan feels that Xiahou Dun and his men's purpose this time is to delay us."

"Hold us? What do you mean?"

Gu Rubing looked at the two parties who were still fighting. Now that all the troops of both sides had been displayed, what was the purpose of delaying them?

"My lord, based on what Brother Xiahou said, General Wenyuan deduced that Jiang Wei's target this time is not us, and what we are waiting for is the 30,000 troops from Liangzhou."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing's expression suddenly changed.

Those 30,000 soldiers were the only reinforcements he could rely on now. If these 30,000 men were gone, he wouldn't know how to hold on.

Thinking of this, Gu Rubing immediately ordered Deng Ai to take 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush to support.

The 30,000-strong army was powerful enough in itself, the only problem was that no one could command them to fight against Jiang Wei.

If Deng Ai could arrive in time and cooperate with the 30,000 troops, there would be no problem.

Upon hearing this, Deng Ai immediately led 5,000 soldiers and horses, rushed out of the encirclement, and headed towards the route of the 30,000 soldiers and horses.

The Xiahou brothers had no intention of stopping Deng Ai from leaving.

However, the Xiahou brothers seized the opportunity and, while Deng Ai was away, launched a more fierce siege.

Deng Ai led 5,000 soldiers and quickly headed towards the route of the 30,000 soldiers.

It didn't take long for Deng Ai to realize that something was wrong.

It was so quiet along the way, without any sound of chaos. Could it be that these 30,000 people had been defeated by Jiang Wei?
Thinking of this, Deng Ai couldn't help but speed up.

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly rang out.

Deng Ai saw a tripwire appear in front of him, and the cavalry in front of him was thrown to the ground.

Deng Ai immediately stopped his horse.

The people around also stopped immediately.

At this moment, a rain of arrows fell directly.

Deng Ai suffered numerous casualties among his 5,000 soldiers and horses in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ren rushed out from the surrounding area with five thousand men.

"Cao Ren? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Jiang Wei?"

"Haha, do you think Bo Yue's plan is that simple? You guys are careless. I want to see what you are going to do this time. Everyone, work together and catch him."

After hearing this, everyone immediately shouted and rushed towards Deng Ai and his men.

at the same time.

Jiang Wei was leading the troops that Liu Zhang had left behind in Jiangzhou City, and he launched an encirclement and attack against the 30,000 troops from Liang Province who came to support him.

Without the command of a commander-in-chief, but only the command of a few deputy generals, the formation of 30,000 soldiers was in great chaos.

Jiang Wei seized this opportunity and quickly divided the battlefield, splitting the battlefield of tens of thousands of people into several areas.

It didn't take long for these 30,000 soldiers to be defeated.

Jiang Wei immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, determined to surround and kill all 30,000 people here.

The moment the knife in Deng Ai's hand collided with the knife in Cao Ren's hand, Deng Ai suddenly felt his hands numb.

If he hadn't retracted the knife in time, his knuckles would have been broken.

Cao Ren took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Deng Ai.

Deng Ai retreated quickly.

These five thousand soldiers are not elite, but rather ordinary soldiers.

But the 5,000 soldiers led by Cao Ren were Cao Cao's elite troops, including the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Grave Diggers and the Lieutenant General Fa Qiu.

They are entirely composed of special troops under Cao Cao's command.

With such a lineup, Deng Ai's side suffered a lot of casualties when the two sides first came into contact. Coupled with the previous wave of rain of arrows, just one charge put Deng Ai's army on the verge of collapse.

Deng Ai struggled with Cao Ren for a while, but soon realized that the situation was causing him a lot of trouble. The best way now was to retreat immediately.

Thinking of this, Deng Ai immediately gave an order for everyone to retreat.

However, Cao Ren did not stop Deng Ai's evacuation and just watched Deng Ai leave their encirclement.

By the time Deng Ai and his men returned, the battle on the city wall had ended.

Everyone was cleaning up the battlefield on the city wall.

When Gu Rubing saw Deng Ai coming back, his face suddenly changed.

Because he saw that there were only about a thousand people behind Deng Ai, and each of them was injured.

It was obvious that they were ambushed. Deng Ai only had the thousand soldiers he had taken with him, and not the thirty thousand reinforcements he had brought back. "My lord, I am incompetent. I was ambushed by Cao Ren halfway, which led to the failure of the operation. Please punish me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing fell silent for a moment.

Deng Ai’s failure meant that his 30,000 reinforcements were also gone.

This time his losses can be said to be extremely heavy.

There has never been a more tragic situation than this one.

Thirty thousand reinforcements were gone before he even saw them.

"Forget it, let's prepare for their siege. We still have 100,000 troops coming from Xudu."

One day after this operation.

The Xiahou brothers had no intention of attacking the city.

Gu Rubing began to strengthen the city's defenses.

Now the 30,000 reinforcements must be gone. The reinforcements from Xudu will take at least ten days to arrive, and the total number of soldiers and horses in the city is less than 30,000.

This situation is small, and the only thing they can rely on is a sufficiently high city defense.

But there was only one day, and even if 30,000 people attacked together, there was no way to increase the city's defenses much.

After a whole day of hard work, Gu Rubing was a little disappointed when he saw that the city wall had not been extended much.

He even had the idea of ​​giving up Yufu City.

at this time.

Deng Ai found Gu Rubing.

"My lord, Cao Ren is coming with a group of people outside the city wall. In their hands..."

Deng Ai didn't say anything else.

"What happened to their hands?"

"My Lord, please come with me to take a look."

Gu Rubing walked up to the city wall with a puzzled look on his face.

When Cao Ren saw Gu Rubing appear, he immediately burst into laughter.

"Liu Bei, aren't you waiting for your reinforcements? Your reinforcements are here."

As soon as the voice fell, Cao Ren waved his hand.

All the soldiers behind Cao Ren threw what they had in their hands directly at the city gate.

In the dark night, Gu Rubing couldn't see clearly what it was, but people like Deng Ai seemed to have already known it.

"Liu Bei, I told you that we fought you because Liu Zhang forced us to do so. We had no other choice. Now that Liu Zhang has retreated, we will not fight you again. I hope you won't cause trouble for us in the future. Otherwise, this will be your fate."

After saying this, Cao Ren turned around and left.

Gu Rubing opened the city gate only after he saw Cao Ren and his men leave.

However, when Gu Rubing saw clearly what it was, his face instantly turned gloomy.

These are all human heads.

They were all the heads of the 30,000 reinforcements from Liangzhou.

It was obvious that Jiang Wei had killed all the reinforcements that came to support him.

"Bury everyone properly."

"Yes!"

Gu Rubing said this in a low voice, then turned and left.

Jiang Wei led the army and slowly walked into the camp and left.

As soon as he entered the camp, Jiang Wei asked Cao Ren where the captives he had sent back earlier were.
When he heard that Cao Ren had chopped off the heads of all the prisoners and sent them to Liu Bei, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Who told you to do this? Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. Don't you know that? Do you want Liu Bei to treat our soldiers the same way?"

Everyone present, including Cao Ren, looked indifferent to Jiang Wei's anger.

In troubled times, human life is the least valuable thing.

Even the lives of tens of thousands of people are not as important as dealing a blow to Gu Rubing's morale.

After realizing that Cao Ren and the others didn't care, Jiang Wei sighed helplessly.

The current Wei army seems to have Cao Ren as the commander-in-chief, but in fact he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Wei army.

But as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he can only command during battles. Once he leaves the battlefield, no one will listen to his orders.

He was just a pawn in the Wei army.

A chess piece used only in war.

Jiang Wei had no choice but to write a letter and send it to Gu Rubing overnight. The letter was full of apologies to the 30,000 people. It also stated that they had only surrendered and he only asked them to send the people back. They had no idea that Cao Ren had killed them.

However, this letter did not reach Gu Rubing's hands, but was intercepted by Deng Ai.

Because of those heads, Gu Rubing has locked himself in the room and has never come out.

Deng Ai didn't want to disturb Gu Rubing because of Jiang Wei's affairs, so he didn't disturb him.

Although Deng Ai was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Wei's letter, since he had killed their people and now came to apologize, it was a bit infuriating no matter how you look at it.

However, Deng Ai soon thought of a good idea, which could be regarded as a punishment for Jiang Wei's previous plot against them.

After Jiang Wei heard from the messenger that he had not met Gu Rubing, he nodded helplessly and let the messenger leave without thinking much about it.

late at night.

Inside the Wei army camp.

Several people gathered together and looked at each other.

Then, these people suddenly shouted together.

"The commander-in-chief is not General Cao, but Jiang Wei."

It was originally a very simple sentence and there weren't many problems with it.

However, this sound exploded directly in the military camp in the dark night like a bomb.

All the soldiers rushed out of the tents and gathered together.

However, the people who were shouting had already disappeared.

When soldiers with nothing to do get together, it is natural that they will make noise.

If there is too much talk, fighting is inevitable.

Under the suppression of years of war, the emotions of all the soldiers were tense.

At this moment, all the soldiers went crazy.

They drew out their weapons and attacked their former teammates frantically.

Jiang Wei was still looking at the battle report in his hand and looking for a strategy to break the city.

Now he holds an absolute advantage in his hands. No matter in terms of numbers or lineup of generals, they are all extremely powerful. It will only take a few minutes to eliminate Gu Rubing.

However, at this moment, a soldier covered in blood rushed in.

"General, it's bad, the camp has been blown up..."

"what?"

Jiang Wei stood up suddenly and rushed out immediately.

Soon, he saw that there was no trace of the enemy in the entire camp, but the entire camp was in chaos.

All the same people are killing each other.

These soldiers were even more brutal to their own people than to their enemies. (End of this chapter)
