Sima Yi asked.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "General Man Chong, you can take on this important task."

Full of pets?

Sima Yi knew this person.

According to him, Man Chong is mediocre in civil and martial arts, and has no strategy to defend against the enemy, so he might not be Gan Ning's opponent.

Furthermore, Xu Ding followed.

The elite new army of tens of thousands is not something that any team can resist.

Even if Sima Yi goes there in person, there is no certainty of victory.

"what do you think?"

"I still want to lead the army to meet the enemy." Sima Yi insisted.

"You don't need to say any more. Compared with Fucheng, Chengdu is of course more important. I can rest assured that you stay in Chengdu." Cao Cao said.

"Ok."

Sima Yi said: "Since the lord has made a decision, I will not object any more."

"Yes." Cao Cao invited Man Chong.

Before that, Man Chong had always been a civil servant under Cao Cao's command.After Xu Chu's death, he served as the commander of the Tiger Guards, responsible for protecting Cao Cao's safety.

He never dreamed that it would be his turn to lead the troops on the battlefield and take on such an important task.

"Bo Ning, you are going to Fucheng now. There are [-] elites. I don't need you to destroy the enemy army, nor do I need you to defend Fucheng permanently. Just holding off the enemy army for a month is considered a great achievement. You have confidence ?” Cao Cao asked.

Only stick to it for a month.

This requirement is not high.

There are more than 2 elite elites, so it is not difficult to defend a strong city.

Man Chong plucked up his courage, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, the general will definitely defend Fucheng!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao stood up and said, "I will be in Chengdu, waiting for the news of your victory."

Fucheng.

Gan Ning led a regiment of troops to the outside of the city.

There are [-] troops stationed in the city. Although they are not many, they are capable of defending the city.

Gan Ning's regiment had less than 1000 people.

Against [-] enemy troops, the difference was more than ten times.

But Gan Ning didn't have any fear. He led his army and set up camp not far from the city, close to Fucheng.In this way, the enemy troops in Fucheng could not escape.

Such a short distance is also a big threat to Gan Ning.

If the enemy's combat power is slightly stronger, or if there are bombs or something, Gan Ning will be defeated.Unfortunately, the defenders in Fucheng had no bombs.

Originally, Cao Ren had seized hundreds of guns from Jingzhou, and he was still in Fucheng a few days ago, but now he has been transferred to Chengdu.

"General, when will we attack the city?" Jiang Qin, the navy general who accompanied Gan Ning, asked.

Gan Ning glanced at the tower in front of him and said, "Don't worry, wait for our soldiers to rest overnight, and then attack Fucheng at noon tomorrow. Even Cao's army has no ability to resist. Our army will surely win."

"That's right." Jiang Qin said with a smile: "What's so great about Cao Cao's generals? How can they compare with us?"

The next day.

Sunrise time.

Xu Ding was lying on a couch in the Chuanxiashui military camp, using the satellite detection system to check the battle in Fucheng.

On the city tower of Fucheng, there were hundreds of cauldrons, each of which was filled with kerosene.Next to it stood a soldier, holding a torch in his hand.

On the city tower, timber and Duanmu are piled up everywhere.

These kindlings.

Once they are all put down and the fire oil is ignited again, the situation will be very critical.

Xu Ding was somewhat regretful, why did Gan Ning lead the army to go, if he went in person, casualties would definitely be avoided.

Jia Xu, who was at the side, saw that Xu Ding's face was a little strange, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"How far is it from here to Fucheng?"

Xu Ding opened his eyes and asked eagerly.

Jia Xu didn't know why, but she still replied, "It will take about three hours by water."

"In other words, it will take half a day?"

"Yes."

Xu Ding sighed: "In that case, it will be too late."

"What?" Jia Xu still didn't understand what Xu Ding was talking about.

"go!"

Xu Ding didn't hesitate anymore, got out of bed and said: "Let's not wait for Gan Ning any longer, and order the three armies to march towards Fucheng immediately."

"Yes."

Jia Xu turned around to deliver the order.

Not long

Thirty thousand troops, ready to go.

Xu Ding was so anxious that he rushed to Fucheng by boat first.

But

No matter how fast he was, he couldn't beat Gan Ning.
