Cao Ren, who was standing on the top of the city, was standing with his sword, looking down at the Qi army outside the city. Seeing the war elephant forced back by the flames, Cao Ren's originally uneasy face couldn't help but look ecstasy.

"Mr., your strategy of scaring the elephant with fire is really accurate in taking the weakness of the giant elephant. Look, these Qi troops outside the city are all shocked."

When Cao Ren praised Fuwan, his face was full of pride and surprise.

"Yuan Fang, a rebel who usurped the Han Dynasty, thought that he could defeat everything after he had made a few giant elephants of the Southern Barbarians. He was really a delusion. With me, Fu Wan, how could he allow him to be arrogant anymore?" Fu Wan stroked his white beard and proudly mocked Yuan Fang.

Cao Ren sneered again, but couldn't help but say wonderingly: "Best-in-law, how do you know the weakness of this Southern Barbarian War Elephant?"

“It’s actually very simple.”

Fu Wan smiled proudly and said slowly: "The Yuan thief thought that this giant elephant was a beast of the Southern Barbarians. No one in the Central Plains had seen it, but he didn't know that the Southern Barbarians had presented several giant elephants to the late emperor. At that time, I was in Luoyang and had seen it many times. I even heard from the Southern Barbarian Elephant Taming Man that although this giant elephant looked scary, it was afraid of fire like all wild animals. So I thought of scaring away the giant elephant of Yuan thief with this fire plan."

So that's it, Cao Ren suddenly realized.

Looking at the fire outside the city, Cao Ren sneered: "Yuan Thief, Yuan Thief, now I know your weakness of the war elephant. Now, I see how you are still rampant."

A few hundred steps away, Yuan Fang had already opened his far-looking eyes and saw Cao Ren and Fu Wan's proud expressions clearly.

"It turns out that Fu Wan is also in Xinye City. This old thief was an official in Luoyang when he was Ling Emperor. I must have seen the elephant presented to Ling Emperor by the Southern Barbarians, so I realized the weakness of the elephant."

Yuan Fang recognized Fu Wan and immediately guessed the reason.

The remnants of the Han Dynasty, the murderer who killed Hao Zhao, now serves Cao Cao, and blocks Yuan Fang's pace of unification of the world, which makes Yuan Fang even more deeply hate Fu Wan.

"Cao Ren has seen through the weakness of the battle elephant. It seems that this elephant soldier cannot be used for the second time. I think that today is not a good time to break through Xinye City." Fa Zheng's implication is naturally to persuade Yuan Fang to withdraw his troops.

Yuan Fang was not such a reckless person. He immediately raised his whip and ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

The sound of gold sounds came, and the Qi army in the formation slowly retreated and returned toward the camp.

On the top of the city, Cao Ren looked down at the Qi army and retreated, stroked his beard and sneered, "Yuan thief, Yuan thief. Today, you finally broke into the city and were defeated by me, Cao Ren, haha~~"

"Yuan Piece, you a traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty, as long as I live for a day, you can't sit firmly in this world."

Cao Ren laughed proudly. Fu Wan's mouth also raised a dark smile. Cao Jun on the top of the city, as he forced Qi Jun back, was also excited to laugh.

...

Yuan Fang, who was riding his horse back to the camp, listened to the loud ridicule of Cao's army behind him, his sword eyebrows slightly condensed, and his cold murderous intent was flowing in his starry eyes.

"Cao Ren, Fu Wan, you can laugh as much as you want, when you cry."

Yuan Fang returned to the camp with an unhappy mood and immediately recruited all the civil and military officials to discuss strategies to break the city.

Shinno Castle is hard to use, and the Thunder Cart is useless. The weakness of the war elephant is discovered and it is useless. After talking for a long time, the ministers came to a common conclusion. That is, they can only siege the city with a large army and break the city through long siege.

Of course, Yuan Fang could not have delayed it for too long, otherwise he would not have used the strategy of voting east and attacking west, and rushed to launch the southern expedition so quickly.

This is not possible, nor is that. After a long discussion, Yuan Fang had to leave the meeting.

It was already night and all the soldiers were asleep, but Yuan Fang was still tossing and turning, thinking about the strategy of breaking the city.

It was early summer and the weather was a little cooler at night. Yuan Wenwen put on a pot of good wine, listening to the crackling fire and the night wind outside the tent, thinking about the plan to break the city.

The wine on the fire has been boiled and hot. Yuan Fang poured a cup of it himself and drank it all in one drink.

The throat of the hot wine and the thick heating rushes through the whole body in a blink of an eye, making it indescribable warmth and comfortable.

After drinking a few cups in a row, Yuan Fang put the wine pot back on the stove. A few drops of wine stains splashed into the stove, and a large amount of steam immediately rose.

Looking at the white steam in front of the furnace, Yuan Fang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

He stood up, paced into the tent, hitting his fists, and his thoughts rolled, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt.

"It seems that if I want to break through this Xinye City, I can only rely on my own efforts..."

Yuan Fang's eagle eye shot with murderous intent.

...

The next day, at dawn.

Amid the rumbling drums, the elite troops of the Great Qi Empire gathered again. This time, a hundred thousand troops approached the north gate of Xinye.

Cao Ren in the city had just gotten up. He originally thought that Yuan Fang's attack was set yesterday and would not launch another strong attack in the near future, but he did not expect that Yuan Fang would come to attack again today.

When Cao Ren heard the news from the city, he didn't think too much and rushed to the city.

When Fuwan heard that the Qi army was attacking again, he was worried that Yuan Fang had any plans, so Cao Ren couldn't handle it, so he hurried to the north gate.

Cao Ren and Fu Wan rushed to the head of Xinye North Gate at almost the same time.

Looking down at the front, I saw 100,000 Qi troops forming more than ten armies of all sizes, large and small, black and continuous, and sequeling in front of the city.

"Yuan Thief, Yuan Thief, have you not eaten enough of the lessons I learned yesterday?" Cao Ren snorted coldly.

In his opinion, Yuan Fang's attack today was nothing more than a repetition of old tricks, first using thunderbolt chariots to bomb the city, then launching infantry, and finally sending the war elephant up.

Unfortunately, yesterday's battle has proved that the weakness of the war elephant is fear of fire. Today, Yuan Fang's re-use of the same trick was just to humiliate him again.

But Fu Wan's brows frowned slightly and pointed at the outside of the city: "General Zixiao, don't underestimate the enemy. When I observe the enemy's formation, there seems to be no thunder chariot this time, nor does it find the shadow of an elephant. I think that Yuan's attack this time is a bit different from looking for the hall."

Cao Ren raised his eyes and looked carefully. As Fu Wan said, there was no sign of the thunder chariot and the war elephant.

While suspicious, Cao Ren snorted coldly and said proudly: "No matter what tricks he is playing, without the thunder chariot and war elephant, Yuan Zhe only has the infantry, so he can't even think about breaking through my Xinye Jiancheng."

Fu Wan thought about it, and his face dispersed with suspicion.

Cao Ren took a deep breath, with a sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is ready to fight, for the sake of Cao Gong. For the right way in the world, I will defend Xinye to the death!"

More than ten thousand Cao's troops on the top of the city were all holding their swords and guns, ready to fight against the unprecedented fierce attack of the Qi army.

However, the Qi army has been in line for a long time, but has not attacked for a long time.

A few hundred steps away, Yuan Fang immediately stood quietly, staring at Cao Ren on the top of the city with a cold look in the distance.

The army of 100,000 was still standing in line. As time delayed, the soldiers gradually became restless.

The soldiers of the Great Qi were unable to guess what their emperor intended.

"Your Majesty, yesterday's military discussion, we didn't agree to surround Xinye City first and not attack, and not forcibly attack for the time being. Why did Your Majesty suddenly change his mind today?" Fa Zheng beside him couldn't help but say curiously.

Yuan Fang didn't even turn his eyes and said lightly: "I don't have time to drag it on anymore. I must pacify the world as soon as possible. Today, I will conquer Xinye."

Today, break the new world?

Fa Zheng was shocked and didn't know what to say, and looked at Guo Jia on the other side.

Guo Jia then coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to pacify the world as soon as possible, but in the result of yesterday's battle, Your Majesty also saw that the weakness of the war elephant had been seen through by Cao Ren. If you want to conquer Xinye, you may not be able to do it in a day or two. As the saying goes, haste will not be achieved, and you can't be anxious."

Fa Zheng nodded repeatedly and said with the trend: "Besides, Your Majesty has neither dispatched a battle elephant today. He did not even bring a thunderbolt chariot. He only used our infantry to attack Xinye. Not only could he not be able to capture it, but he might also lose his soldiers. So I think..."

"Who said I want to attack Xinye?" Yuan Fang interrupted Fa Zheng with a sentence.

Fa Zheng was stunned and looked at Guo Jia, both of them were suspicious and confused.

If you don’t force your attack on Xinye, what are you doing in front of these tens of thousands of people in the enemy city?

Could it be that if you want to rely solely on your momentum, you scare Cao Ren to leave the city and run away? This is obviously unrealistic.

Just when Fa Zheng and Guo Jia were still confused, suddenly, the wind suddenly rose and blew from behind, heading towards Xinye.

The northwest wind blows.

"Today is indeed my lucky day."

Yuan Fangyingwu's face showed a little joy, and he shouted without hesitation: "The time has come. I'll order all the generals to lead their troops to approach Zhicheng and set off smoke in the wind."

Showing smoke with the wind?

Fa Zheng and Guo Jia looked at each other again, and the faces of the two top counselors were even more confused.

Dongdongdongdongdong~~

The sound of war drums had already sounded, and the emperor ordered the Qi army rushed, and more than a dozen military formations of all sizes slowly began to approach the north gate of Xinye.

Direction of the city.

"Yuan Thief, you really can't stand it and still want to attack."

Cao Ren snorted coldly, with a long sword in his hand, and ordered the entire army to concentrate and prepare to respond to the attack of the Qi army.

In front of everyone, thousands of Qi soldiers held high a shield and quickly approached within more than a hundred steps in front of the city.

With Cao Ren's order, the Cao army crossbowmen on the city, arrows were like rain, and the overwhelming arrows rushed towards the Qi army.

The soldiers of Qi army held high a large shield and approached the moat that had been filled with the moat. This distance was already a rush toward the enemy city and set up a ladder to attack.

However, the Qi army did not break through the formation and charge, but instead stood less than ten steps away from the city wall and stopped moving forward.

Then, suddenly, all kinds of wolf smoke were lit in the various military formations.

Tens of thousands of Qi troops actually lit countless wolf smoke in front of Xinye City.

On the top of the city, Cao Ren and Cao's soldiers were immediately suspicious.

Fa Zheng and others who watched the formation were all shocked.

Just when everyone was shocked, the Qi soldiers in the military formation threw wolf smoke at Xinye City one after another.

Thousands of black smoke, in an instant, completely enveloped the Xinye North Gate, and darkness was like night.

"You are waiting here, I'm leaving." Yuan Fang took his horse and took out the battle and ran straight towards Xinye.

Fa Zheng was shocked and asked anxiously: "What is Your Majesty going to do?"

"Capture the thief and capture the king, shoot people and horses."
