The night breeze was slightly cool, causing a strand of Mo Bingmei's hair to float in the air, slightly blocking her line of sight. She gently lifted her hand to place that strand of hair behind her ear, and continued to listen to the conversation between Cao Ang and the other two. Her face was covered with a black cloth, and she was hidden in the shadow of the roof ridge. Unless someone climbed up to the roof to search carefully, it was impossible to find her.
He wanted to give up on eavesdropping and quickly go out of the city to report what he had heard, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to act rashly. Tonight, the Cao Army had greatly strengthened her patrols, and the city walls and city gates were even more heavily guarded. Even if she had extremely good skills, she didn't have the confidence to sneak out of the city under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
Cao Ang said in a deep voice, "The courage of the two uncles is something this nephew has always admired. However, this nephew still needs to say one more word.
Dian Wei said in a low voice: "First Young Master, do not worry, there will definitely not be any mistakes!"
"This nephew will take his leave first!" Cao Ang laughed, walking to the door and looking outside.
Not long later, Cao Ang returned with the patrol, causing Cao Ang to quickly open the door and run into the group. After that, they clustered around Cao Ang, turned around and walked forward, and quickly disappeared around the corner.
Mo Bingmei thought for a while, then gave up on the idea of staying here to keep an eye on Dian Wei and his group, and quietly left the rooftop, just like an extremely agile leopard cat, and quietly advanced on the rooftop, quickly catching up to Cao Ang and his group.
When Cao Ang led the group to another street about two thousand steps away, he informed the people around him about it and quickly went to the entrance of a house that was seven to eight acres large. The door then quietly opened, and Cao Ang walked in with a flash, causing the door to close once again.
The patrol team continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
Mo Bingmei waited until the patrolling team had gone far away before he arrived at the rooftop of a three-storey restaurant near the house. Looking down from this angle, he could see that the interior of the house was packed full of people, with a rough estimate of a thousand, they were all wearing black tight clothes, carrying ring head knife s and strong crossbow s.
After Cao Ang entered, these people all cupped their fists and bowed to Cao Ang. No one made a sound, with one glance, one could tell that they were the elites of the Cao Army.
Cao Ang walked all the way in, and very quickly, he passed through the sky well, and then he disappeared from Mo Bingmei's sight.
Mo Bingmei immediately switched to the other side of the roof, and indeed, he once again saw Cao Ang's figure. He quickly walked into the hall where the lamps in the backyard were lit up, and then casually closed the door. There were already a few people waiting inside the hall. They all cupped their fists and bowed towards Cao Ang, and one of them spoke a few words in a low voice. Because he was too far away, Mo Bingmei did not hear what he said. He only saw Cao Ang repeatedly nod his head, then walk over to the main seat and sit down. He lifted the teacup to his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Mo Bingmei frowned, he was a little hesitant in his heart, should he keep an eye on Cao Ang, or go and monitor Xiahou Dun and his group? After thinking about it carefully, she decided to stay and wait. Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun were both extremely brave and courageous people, even if she herself went over to watch over them, it would be difficult to find a chance to deal with them. She decided to watch over Cao Ang here. Cao Ang was Cao Cao Cao's eldest son, if he was able to kill him at the critical moment, these Cao Army would definitely become a mess.
Mo Bingmei turned his head to look in the direction of the west gate. Realizing that it was still quiet there, he lightly stretched his body and changed his comfortable position to lie on the roof, staring at the hall that Cao Ang was in and waited quietly.
On the street dozens of steps away from the city gate, Gao Tie looked at the position of the moon in the night sky and asked the person beside him in a low voice: "What time is it now?"
"It's probably ugly from the beginning to the end!"
"It's about time!" Gao Tie muttered and waved on the city wall.
When Sima Yi saw Gao Tie's gesture, he knew that it was time to make a move. He restrained his agitated emotions and instructed his servants to bring out the bundles of firewood that they had previously hidden away from the city and stacked them neatly on top of the city walls. Sima Yi had his men pour oil on top of the firewood bundles and took down a torch from the top of the city gate. He was prepared to wait for Gao Tie to give the order to kill the fifty Cao Army s at the city gate before igniting the firewood bundles to signal the people outside the city.
"What time is it?" At the same time, Gongsun Xu, who was standing in front of the camp's gate, also asked about the time.
Gongsun Yi bowed and replied: "Reporting to Young Noble, the time is right."
Gongsun Xu looked at the lights on the city walls, and said solemnly: "Get Zhang He's forces to prepare for an attack at any time!"
Gongsun Yi agreed softly and quickly ran into the army camp.
On the empty ground in the army camp, Zhang He and his two thousand five hundred cavalrymen were already fully prepared. After receiving Gongsun Xu's order, Zhang He immediately ordered for the soldiers to prepare for the worst situation. Everyone quickly donned on their war horses and wrapped thick strips of cloth around their hooves. Only then did they get on their horses and follow Zhang He towards the entrance of the army camp.
"Greetings, General!" Zhang He was the first to arrive at the main entrance. When he saw Gongsun Xu, he flipped down his horse and walked over to bow.
"Jun Yi doesn't need to be so courteous, quickly get up!" Gongsun Xu lifted Zhang He, and said solemnly: "If nothing unexpected happens, a signal will be coming out from the city very soon. Jun Yi's goal is the city gate, once inside the city, you must control the city gate! More than half an incense's time later, Zi Long will lead the huge army to reinforce us. Does General have any doubts? "
Zhang He said solemnly, "Reporting to General, this general does not have any doubts! "Please rest assured General, as long as this lowly general and his men rush into the city, I can definitely take control of the city gate!"
Gongsun Xu nodded his head in approval. On the shoulder of the pat, he laughed: "Then I'll be counting on General! I wish you all the best, general. I hope that I can celebrate for the generals and the warriors who have rendered meritorious service in the city tomorrow morning! "
Zhang He said in an extremely confident tone, "At daybreak today, General will definitely step into Henei County!"
"Alright!" Gongsun Xu clapped his hands and called out: "If we can smoothly win this battle, General Jun Yi can be the leader! Please lead the team and quietly approach the city gate. "Speaking to this point, he opened his eyes wide and looked forward, only able to see things a few hundred feet away, so he continued," Tonight, the moonlight is very hazy, General can bring the team and stop 500 to 600 steps away from the city gate. As long as no sound is made, the defending army in the city will not be able to discover it!
"Here!" This general shall take his leave! " Zhang He cupped his fists, turned and jumped onto his warhorse, with a wave of his hand, he led the group forward.
When the soldiers walked past Gongsun Xu, they all cupped their fists and bowed to him respectfully from the bottom of their hearts. In the hearts of these White Horse Camp warriors, Gongsun Xu was not only the general who led them in this battle, he was also their entire family's living parents. Their lives were completely different from before.
Gongsun Xu watched Zhang He's group grow further and further away and quickly disappeared into the hazy night. He rubbed his forehead, then brought Gongsun Yi and the others to turn around and enter the camp, quickly heading towards his own tent.
Guo Jia was walking back and forth in the tent, and upon seeing Gongsun Xu he anxiously asked: "Zi Min, General Zhang He has set off?"
"Yes, they just left." Gongsun Xu nodded, he walked over and sat down, then asked: "How is Zi Long?"
"Zi Long has already made his preparations, once General Zhang He is successful in seizing the city gates, Shan Meng will act as the vanguard and quickly reinforce him, while Zi Long and his army will follow closely behind." Guo Jia laughed a little and said excitedly: "If everything goes well, we can drink tea in the morning at Henei County's prefecture chief mansion!"
"There shouldn't be any unexpected situations," Gongsun Xu said in a low voice. "Bingmei is still in the city, and she didn't send any urgent news. From this, it can be seen that everything on Sima Yi's side is proceeding smoothly. Feng Xiao, do you think there's any other possibility for a loophole to appear? "
Guo Jia thought about it carefully before shaking his head and saying, "Unless Sima Yi's side makes a mistake, there will definitely be no victories in this battle! The only thing we need to pay attention to is that Cao Cao will definitely fight his way out after the city breaks. As the saying goes, we will definitely win if we are not careful. That's why I suggest that walking soldier only care about setting up a formation to block them. If Cao Army were to risk his life and break through the encirclement, he shouldn't stop them with everything he has.
"Feng Xiao's words are very much in my heart! Haha "Gongsun Xu laughed loudly:" Cao Mengde is also an outstanding individual of his generation. If not for my sudden appearance, I'm afraid that he would have quickly become the world's number one duke! But since I, Gongsun Xu, am here, Cao Mengde, you should just hide to the side! In order to show my respect to Cao Mengde, as long as I find out that Cao Mengde is leading an army out of the city, I will personally lead a squad of cavalry to kill him! "
Guo Jia was stunned: "Cao Mengde is only barely able to own a region. Let's not talk about compared to Father-in-law, even if you compare him to Yuan Shao, there is still a huge gap. "Also, does the people who say that they have come to this world have a deeper meaning?"
Gongsun Xu's smile faded. Only then did he realize that he had been too complacent, and quickly changed the subject, claiming that he wanted to see if Zhao Yun was ready. Under Guo Jia's suspicious gaze, he quickly left the big tent.
