Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 673 Siege
After occupying Seleucus, Cao Peng asked the army to put on a defensive posture and did not intend to continue to attack. This situation immediately made people a little puzzled.

Guan Yu asked, "Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Next, let them go crazy!" Cao Peng said with a light smile.

He wanted to see how far this Persian could develop!
Jiang Wei has already arrived in Anxi, and he will lead a lone army to raid a city first.

The news of Seleucus' surrender reached the Second Persian Empire, and the emperor was furious immediately.

"Just relying on Seleucus, he dared to fight against us!" The Persian emperor was stunned, and a sense of absurdity of being turned back arose in his mind.

Originally, they wanted to take down Seleucus, so as to frighten the surrounding area and achieve the goal of dominating, but they didn't expect that Cao Peng would take the lead.

The Persian army also continued to support the front line, but it only achieved a drop in the bucket.

"It's all a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!"

The Persian emperor was really angry. He didn't expect that the Second Persian Empire, which once ruled the west, would be so decadent.

"Your Majesty, at our border, an army suddenly appeared, and it came in mighty force!"

After hearing the spies' report, the Persian emperor became even more angry. Why did the army appear for no reason?

"Cao Peng! You are really deceiving people!"

Not long ago, he issued the letter of credence. Unexpectedly, Cao Peng didn't take it seriously at all. He heard from the messenger that he tore the letter of credence into pieces and threw it into the fire.

The west wind hunts, and the war horse neighs.

The [-] cavalry troops led by Jiang Wei have already arrived in Persia.

All he had to do was harass and blitz. He ordered the city in front of him, but the defense of this city was very dense with arrows.

"General, the city cannot be attacked for a long time, and the casualties of brothers will be too great if this continues!"

Jiang Wei can't ignore the life and death of the clan, such words are easy to be unpopular, so he hastily ordered to withdraw and make a long-term plan.

Before sending troops, he boasted that he was walking on the ground in the territory of the Persian Empire, but now he didn't even win the first city.

"This city must be captured, otherwise we will lose face!" Jiang Wei said unwillingly.

None of the generals under his command dared to say a word, they all knew Jiang Wei, but Cao Peng's favorite general, if he lost here, he would definitely be compared by Guan Yu.

"General, I have a car here, why not dig a tunnel and sneak into the city!"

At this time, it was Deng Ai who made the suggestion. Regardless of his young age, this kid has quite a lot of tricks.

"Okay, I think this plan works!"

Since they thought it was feasible, everyone would do what they said, and Jiang Wei immediately arranged for manpower to start digging the tunnel.

As soon as he started digging tunnels, he naturally let go of the offensive, which immediately made the Persian generals in the city a little puzzled.

"What kind of medicine do you think Jiang Wei sells in the gourd? Why did he stop all of a sudden?"

Among the Persians, although most of them are simple-minded and well-developed, there are also very few intelligent people.

"General, I think there must be something strange about this matter. I heard that this general is good at surprise attacks. Back then, he attacked a mountain road by surprise, rushed over the mountains, and unexpectedly arrived at the royal city of Rome, which led to the fall of Rome."

After hearing the counselor's words, the Persian general Bakia was shocked.

"In your opinion, the reason why this general will not move is because he is planning to attack us by surprise?" Bakia asked.

"I think that this is indeed a very likely thing that we have to guard against!" said the counselor, clasping his hands.

Bakia nodded, and said coldly: "You are right. If we don't take precautions, how will we explain to His Majesty if he succeeds in a sneak attack?"

"But what is the other party's plan, you might as well let the spies investigate and report again!"

Bakia sent countless spies to Jiang Wei's position, trying to find out any news.

Not long after, the spies came back to report.

"Cavalry General Jiang Wei's winners are sure to be fraudulent. They seem to be digging the ground..."

Digging the ground? !

This news shocked Bakia, and even the counselor beside him was shocked.

"General, as expected, they really want to make a change!"

"The reason why they are digging the ground must be to make a secret passage and go directly to our city to carry out a surprise attack!"

After hearing this, Bakia immediately ordered, "In that case, send troops immediately!"

The Persian army attacked immediately, and there were 3 Persians in the city. Jiang Wei was overwhelmed, and the formation was broken immediately, so he had to keep retreating.

"Damn it, this Persia has always become a genius, and he was able to see through my scheme!"

After Jiang Wei retreated, he still couldn't figure out why the opponent suddenly became so powerful.

Deng Ai beside the night was a little helpless, maybe they underestimated the opponent's IQ too much.

After all, the strategy of tunnel warfare surprise attack is not a strange strategy.

"General, I have a plan to dig a tunnel and break into it from another direction without anyone noticing!"

Hearing that Deng Ai still had a strategy, Jiang Wei hurriedly asked him to speak up.

"I think the general can be divided into two troops. One army will perform a feint attack. The war dogs will be blown and the drums will be beaten to attract the opponent's attention. However, I will lead an army to attack from the rear!"

Jiang Weiyi felt that this strategy made sense, so he immediately adopted it, and immediately asked Deng Ai to lead an army to the rear of the city, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.

The sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of war drums made the Persian generals in the city wonder again.

"What the hell is Wei's army doing? What are they trying to do?"

Persians are arrogant by nature, and even if the counselors on the side have a bit of wisdom, they can't escape.

"It must be that we have seen through their schemes, so they can only insist on it. They all say that the Wei people are wise, but now it seems that they are just a group of frustrated guys."

Hearing this, Bakia laughed wildly: "It seems that they can afford it. If so, then we will stop attacking and just defend the city. They must be the ones who will lose in the end."

After drawing up the strategy, the city entered the defensive mode, no matter what kind of correction it would be, the more fierce it was, the more arrogant Bakia was, while Deng Ai on the other side desperately started to ask people to dig tunnels.

Time is efficiency. If you want to win, you must open this tunnel before the opponent notices it.

Deng Ai, as a rookie general, if he can assist the General to win a big victory in this battle, his status will also rise with the tide.
