Great Wei Nengchen

However, Cao Ying has been besieged for six or seven days. There is no rescue outside and no drinking water inside. Where does this confidence come from? A very bad idea popped up in Zhuge Liang's heart...

"Wu Yi and Wu Ban listened to the order: Immediately lead the troops of the headquarters to attack Xiao Xuan's camp and test Cao Jun's reaction!"

"promise!"

"The rest of the ministries followed suit and made a full-scale attack to frighten Cao's army!"

"promise!"

Now that it's useless to guess wildly, Zhuge Liang issued an attack order, even if he sacrifices some soldiers and horses, he will get to the bottom of it!

The generals of the Shu army moved upon hearing the wind, and immediately mobilized their troops to attack Cao Ying. The drums of war were like thunder, shouting to kill and shaking the sky, and the murderous aura rushed straight to Xiaohan...

……

Two hours later, the Shu army retreated to the original place, the attack failed, and the casualties were heavy!

"My lord, the Prime Minister, our troops were shot by the bed crossbow, and the casualties were quite heavy!"

"My lord, the prime minister, our troops broke into the camp with all their might, fought hand-to-hand with Cao Jun, and were driven back again!"

Cao Jun fought bravely, his combat effectiveness remained undiminished, and he even launched a countercharge! "

…………

The disheartened generals of Shu returned to the central army tent one after another, all of them were full of disbelief. Cao Jun was besieged for six or seven days, how could he still have such fighting power?

Zhuge Liang also realized that the situation was wrong, and he didn't know where the problem was. He was so anxious to walk back and forth, and kept looking in the direction of Cao Ying, his eyes were full of panic... Could it be that he made a wrong decision and fell into Cao Jun's trap? In a trap?

"Choo Choo Choo!"

……

While being suspicious, a large flock of flying birds suddenly came from a distance, screaming and falling into the Cao camp, then soared into the sky after a while, and flew towards the Shu army's defense line...

"Quickly, shoot down those flying birds and send them all to the tent of the Chinese army!"

"Huh? -No!"

Although they didn't know the prime minister's intentions, the Shu soldiers faithfully carried out the order. When the birds flew over the line of defense, hundreds of Lianzhu crossbows were fired at the same time, and most of them fell down with a crackling sound, while the rest spread their wings in terror. Goofy.

The Shu soldiers collected the fallen birds and sent them to the tent of the Chinese army. There were magpies, sparrows, swallows, crows, orioles, thrushes... dozens of species, and their stomachs were all bulging, obviously they had just eaten enough. .

"Rip open the belly of all the birds and see what they eat?"

"promise!"

"The Prime Minister is brilliant!"

The generals finally understood that a flock of birds fell into Cao's camp for food, and they only needed to cut open the belly of the bird to know what Cao Jun was eating and whether there was water to drink!

If it is raw rice or something like that, it means that the water in Cao Ying has been cut off, and the previous Jedi counterattack was their last bit of strength. As long as the Shu army continues to attack, they will definitely be able to break through Cao Ying and capture Xiao Xuan alive!

If it is a normal meal, it means that the drinking water in Cao Ying is not exhausted, and at least it can last for a few more days. The Shu army has to think about whether to continue the siege or withdraw the troops as soon as possible!

The supply line of the Shu army has been cut off, and most of the ordnance, food and grass they brought have been consumed. The arrow clusters are especially lacking. At most, they can persist for four or five days.

"Swipe!--Swipe!"

"Ah, how could this be?"

The bird's stomach was completely cut open, and the generals carefully inspected it, and then all of them changed their faces. It turned out that there were leftovers of rice and mung beans inside, which were still very moist and rotten!

This shows that there is not only drinking water in Cao Ying, but also extra water for cooking porridge and mung bean soup to quench the thirst and summer heat of the soldiers!

The question is, Cao Ying has been besieged for six or seven days, where can there be enough drinking water?

The weather has been fine recently, not a single drop of rain has fallen, the corridor has been cut off, not a single drop of water can be sent in, and the terrain of Cao Ying is extremely high, it is almost impossible to dig the ground to fetch water!

The Dingjun Mountain area is short of water. It is very difficult for the Shu army to camp in the plain area, and it is very difficult to get water. It is barely enough to supply 10 horses. They eat dry rice that saves water every day. Count on it.

I didn't expect that Cao Jun, who was heavily besieged, would eat porridge and drink mung bean soup all day long. Is there any reason for this?

"Could it be that Xiao Xuan had expected to be surrounded a long time ago and stored a lot of drinking water in the camp in advance?"

"Not long after the tunnel was built, it was cut off by our army. Even if he wanted to store water, it was too late!"

"Could it be that Xiao Xuan's luck was against the sky, and he dug out a sufficient water vein in the camp?"

"That's impossible. We sent someone to look at it. Caoying is a land with no water. Even if you dig a hundred feet, it's hard to see a drop of water!"

…………

"Don't make wild guesses. It is true that water cannot be dug out of the ground, but water can be transported. The truth is really clever, and you are confused for a while!"

"what?"

It was Zhuge Liang who was resourceful, the first to come up with the answer, and stomped on the ground fiercely, his face full of remorse, because the answer came too late!

After being reminded, all the generals came to understand one after another, either dumbfounded, or stomping their feet and beating their chests, it is really a single trick and all the games are lost!

In fact, it's very simple, and everyone has ignored it. There is a Digger Army in Cao's army that is extremely poor in combat effectiveness, but very good at drilling holes in mountains!

When Cao Jun built the tunnel, he must have dug one or several tunnels secretly to communicate with Tucheng and Daying!

The Shu army did not know the truth, thinking that as long as the tunnel was cut off, Cao Ying would lose supplies, but they did not know that military equipment, food, grass, drinking water, etc. were continuously sent to the camp through the tunnel, so Cao Jun had boiled porridge and mung bean soup. drink!

Calculated in this way, the breakout in the middle of the night three days ago was most likely caused by Xiao Xuan's mystification, in order to confuse the Shu army's sight, what a cunning little fox!

The book secretly confesses that Zhuge Liang’s speculation is correct at all. Xiao Xuan and Deng Ai deliberately exposed the flaw of the tunnel to attract the main force of the Shu army to attack. I have made mung bean soup, and there is no problem taking a bath!

As for the breakout three days ago, it was also a show for the Shu army. The drums were like thunder, and the screams shook the sky. In fact, Cao Jun did not charge out at all, but hung out a lot of straw men and 'borrowed' a lot of arrows. The corpse is not Wei Jun, but Shu Jun!

It turned out that in the previous two confrontations, the Wei army captured more than a thousand prisoners and imprisoned them in the camp. When they broke through, these people were put in the front, and the Lianzhu crossbow of the Shu army turned into hedgehogs. In fact, they were killing each other!

Some cattle and sheep were killed in the camp, and the blood, armor, weapons, and flags were still on the battlefield together, making a look of heavy casualties to confuse the Shu army's sight. In fact, after a night of fierce fighting, only a few One unlucky ghost was injured by Liu Ya, but none of them died!

Next, Wei Jun grilled beef and mutton in the big camp, deliberately making fireworks soaring into the sky, and then roasted the meat a bit older. The Shu army outside didn't know it, and thought Cao Wei was burning the corpses. This is all that happened.

"Send people immediately to find the location of Cao Jun's tunnels and destroy them all!"

"It's too late to make up for it. Cao Jun has already stored sufficient supplies. There is no point in destroying the tunnel now. They can last at least a month, and we can't last five or six days!"

"Then attack on all fronts tonight, and fight Cao Jun to the death, otherwise this useless gas will not be swallowed!"

"We are already exhausted, and we don't have an advantage in terms of military strength. We are all exhausted. Who will guard Bashu, and who will rejuvenate the big men?"

"Let's listen to the prime minister!"
