At this time, Hao Zhao did not know that Xiahou Yuan was dead under Zhao Yun's gun. He was still resolutely implementing Xiahou Yuan's orders before leaving, defending Xicheng, and not sending troops to assist Xu Huang in attacking the Han army camp. However, Hao Zhao also knew that the Prime Minister had ordered the Xicheng army to assist Xu Huang's army in attacking the enemy, so when Xu Huang asked Xicheng to support the stone-casting machine, he agreed.

Hao Zhao ordered twenty catapults to be removed from the city head and fixed them on wooden boards equipped with wheels, and ordered the soldiers to slowly push out the city gate.

Twenty catapults were like a team of giants coming out of the city gate and heading towards the Han army camp. In the dark night, their huge figures moved in line, and from a distance, they looked particularly strange.

In a forest not far east of Xicheng, Wang Ping led a thousand soldiers to wait patiently for the opportunity. Wang Ping and his soldiers changed into Cao's uniforms, but white cloth was wrapped around his right arm and the difference between Cao's army. At this time, a soldier pointed to the catapult slowly coming out of Xicheng and shouted: "Look at General, look at it."

Wang Ping had already seen that huge trenchers lined up from the city, which must be to support Cao's army attacking the camp. Wang Ping knew very well what the trenchers mean to the wall of the camp. Under the heavy blow of the huge rocks, the walls easily collapsed. If the gap was opened, the Cao's army would flock into the camp, and their food and grass might not be able to be kept.

Wang Ping touched the skin on his back. Each soldier carried a skin bag, and each skin bag contained five kilograms of tinder oil. They were originally going to attack Xu Huang's army's logistics food account, but he found that Xu Huang's army did not bring any food at all. It was estimated that they were preparing to obtain supplies from Xicheng. The soldiers carried dry food with them, which made his plan fail, but these twenty catapults became his new target.

"All the garrison leaders come here"

With Wang Ping's order, twenty town chiefs gathered beside him. Wang Ping pointed at the catapult and gave a few instructions to everyone. He immediately got up and ran towards the catapult. The town chiefs also led the soldiers to run with Wang Ping. Soon the army came to the catapult.

At this time, Wang Ping had ordered his soldiers to line up. He led the soldiers to the trench plane quickly and bowed to an officer and said, "After General Xu's order, you can go back."

The soldiers in Xicheng never dreamed that the army in front of him was actually played by Qiao of Han army. They were controlling the catapults slowly downhill, which was very difficult. Since the other party was willing to take over, it would be best. At the command of the Ya General, he handed over twenty catapults to Wang Ping and his men.

Each garrison leader led his soldiers to control a catapult. The catapult walked slowly. Wang Ping turned around and saw that the soldiers in Xicheng had entered the city, so he whispered: "Take it."

They took off flat bags from behind, sprayed turbulent oil on the catapult, then raised the fire to ignite the catapult. The flames suddenly rose and quickly swallowed up one catapult. Wang Ping led the soldiers to take action, overturned all twenty catapults and let the fire burn. They quickly left the fire scene and quickly disappeared into the night.

Cao Jun on the top of the city was stunned. The catapult that had just been sent out of the city was actually burned by the fire in a blink of an eye. What was going on? Everyone whispered. Hao Zhao felt something was wrong in his heart. Perhaps they were fooled.

Soon, Xu Huang led several people to come in a hurry. At this time, the fire had completely swallowed up twenty catapults. Xu Huang was so angry that his eyes were blasting fire. He suddenly turned around and said, "Go and ask them what's going on."

A tooth general ran towards the west city, and he asked loudly under the city: "Where is General Hao?"

"I'm here, what's wrong?" Hao Zhao replied on the top of the city.

Yajiang bowed his fists and said, "General Hao, General Xu, why did he burn out after he left the city gate?"

Hao Zhao was stunned, "Didn't you just handed the catapult to your army to accept the army? You still asked me what I did. You should ask yourself."

"General Xu did not send an accepting army, and was still waiting for you to send a catapult. We don't know what happened."

Hao Zhao secretly complained that they were fooled, and after a while, he said, "This must be the enemy who pretended to be you. They burned the catapult. Please ask General Xu to capture the enemy immediately."

The general was helpless and had to turn around and report. Xu Huang was furious. He ordered his men to go down and investigate the suspicious army everywhere. At the same time, he sent someone to discuss with Hao Zhao whether he could send another thief to him.

Soon after, his subordinates came back to report: "Report to General Hao, General Hao said that there are only ten catapults on the city. Now we have given twenty of them, and there are still tens for defending the city. No matter what, we cannot be demolished, please forgive me."

"Bad"

Xu Huang gritted his teeth and cursed with hatred. The Prime Minister clearly ordered everyone to work together to conquer the Han army camp, but now they have selfish intentions. They are unwilling to send troops and even the catapults are unwilling to support them. They must sue them in front of the Prime Minister.

Helplessly, Xu Huang had to return to the battlefield. At this time, the first attack of Cao's army on the Han army camp ended in failure. Cao's army lost more than 8,000 people, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers were reassembling the whole team to prepare for the second attack on the Han army camp.

Wang Ping had already led his troops back to the forest. At this time, someone suggested sneak attacking the enemy's logistics camp. This was indeed a good idea, but Wang Ping had another idea.

Seeing that the enemy was in chaos, it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us in the dark, he thought to himself that maybe this was an opportunity.

He immediately removed the white cloth from his arm, summoned the garrison leaders, and said to them: "Many brothers suggested sneak attacking the enemy's camp, but I think it's better to attack the enemy than to attack the enemy. Now that the enemy is in chaos, we can mix in the enemy's army and spread unfavorable news and panic the enemy. This will have a better effect, you think."

Wang Ping is the leader, and he made a decision, so everyone will naturally not object. A garrison asked: "What news can we spread?"

Wang Ping thought for a while and said, "Two news can be spread. The first is that the Han army went to Chencang Road to attack Guanzhong, and Chang'an has been lost; the second is that the Di people sent troops to attack Cao's army, and Cao's army was attacked from front and back, and Cao Cao was unfortunately killed due to serious injuries. I think these two news will definitely shake their morale."

...........

The Han army camp took advantage of the Cao army's short retreat time to quickly repair a section of the captured wall, redeployed the defense, checked the belts of the catapults, and the soldiers moved bundles of arrows and buckets of turbulent oil to the wall, and transported a large number of huge rocks to supplement the shortcomings of the catapults.

Across the camp wall, a crossbowman was deployed every other step. They held military crossbows in their hands, crossbow arrow pots on their backs, and spears beside them, staring at the gathering of enemies in the distance with all their concentration.

Zhang Ren stood on the wall of the camp and stared at Cao's army from afar. His brows gradually frowned. Deng Xian, the general next to him, whispered: "It's strange that Cao's army has already been assembled, but he has been reluctant to attack. Why is this?"

Zhang Ren looked up at the sky. It was already Mao hour. The sky turned white. Seeing that the night was about to pass and it was dawn, he didn't know why Cao's army stopped attacking. Could it be that they wanted to wait for dawn to attack again? But the daytime attack was more beneficial to defense. Xu Huang was fighting, so it was impossible for him not to know this, otherwise he would not have attacked in the middle of the night.

Zhang Rensi was puzzled and said to Deng Xian: "You keep an eye on the enemy and I'll discuss it with Military Advisor Pang."

Zhang Ren turned around and walked down the wall, quickly towards the big tent...

In the big tent, Pang Tong looked at the sand table for a long time and lowered his head to ponder. He needed to sort out a few key thoughts so that he could make the right decision. At this time, Zhang Ren hurried into the big tent. When he saw Pang Tong thinking, he couldn't help but hesitate and slowed down.

But Pang Tong felt his arrival and turned around and smiled, "It just so happened that I would send someone to invite General Zhang."

Zhang Ren walked forward and said, "Can the military advisor ask me to talk about it first?"

"Please speak with General Zhang"

Zhang Ren's tone was a little confused, "It's strange that the enemy's troops have gathered, but have not launched an attack for a long time. I don't know what's going on."

Pang Tong's heart moved and said carefully: "Is there any news from General Zhao?"

Zhang Ren was also stunned. He quickly walked to the sand table and found Chen Yuangu. He pondered for a moment: "Now it's almost dawn, and the war in Chen Yuangu should end. It's only twenty miles away from us there. If we run for only half an hour, we can return. It is very likely that as the military advisor's guess, the news about Chen Yuangu has already arrived."

Pang Tong thought about it and said, "Maybe there is another possibility, that is, my concern, Xu Huang wants to change his tactics and no longer attack the camp, but instead use the tactic of blocking the grain to block the grain to go north."

Zhang Ren's expression suddenly became solemn. He understood what Pang Tong meant. The purpose of Cao's army attacking the camp was to destroy the stored food in the camp. However, if the North Shangdao was blocked, the grain could be cut off and the north. Perhaps Cao's army did not realize this at first, but after a night of failure in the attack on the camp, Cao's army probably had already thought about this key.

"What should we do now?"

Pang Tong walked a few steps behind his hands: "Whether it is the first possibility or the second possibility, it will cause the Cao army to stop attacking the camp. If so, it will seem passive if we are still trapped in the camp. I am considering whether we can take the initiative and turn passive into active, but... there is still a condition here."

"What conditions?" Zhang Ren asked anxiously.

"We also need to get the exact news from General Zhao."

Pang Tong sighed slightly and said to Zhang Ren: "So I suggest that you should not act rashly for the time being and wait and see what happens."

Zhang Ren nodded, "I understand."

.........

The Cao army had already assembled, but Xu Huang had not launched an attack for a long time. Not long ago, Xu Huang received news that Xiahou Yuan was ambushed by the Han army halfway, and Xiahou Yuan was unfortunately killed. Ten thousand northbound troops were killed and almost wiped out. Now the defeated army is fleeing to the south, and the enemy is pursuing him reluctantly.

This news shocked Xu Huang. Xiahou Yuan was killed and the situation began to be a little bad. How many enemy troops ambushed Xiahou Yuan's troops Some people said five thousand, some people said ten thousand, and some people said it was commander of the general Zhao Yun.

If it was Zhao Yun, then there would be no shortage of troops under him. If he killed him from the north and attacked him from the Han army in the enemy camp, could they withstand it?

Xu Huang was worried. He was about to dawn and they could not capture the enemy camp for a long time, and the catapult was burned by the enemy in the chaos. The enemy's catapult was extremely sharp and could attack from far and near. This attack was probably in danger.

At this time, Zhang He stepped forward and whispered: "General, there is something wrong."

"What's the situation?"

"The deserters have appeared in the army"

"What"

Xu Huang was shocked. The situation he was most worried about finally happened. He hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
