Chapter 1595: Fallen into a trap

Cai Cheng was not unfamiliar with Shanling Pass. When he was young, he even stationed there for a period of time and fought fiercely with the people of Heishui Kingdom near Shanling Pass. Of course, he was not part of the Shanling Pass garrison at that time, but just went there to support, so he was only an ally with the Shanling Pass garrison, but he knew the combat methods of these allies very well in those few months.

After that, although Cai Cheng did not fight in Shanling Pass again, he always attached great importance to Shanling Pass, especially after becoming the Minister of War, he focused on cultivating his own direct lineage in Shanling Pass.

Therefore, Cai Cheng was really familiar with Shanling Pass, and he knew more about the combat methods of the garrison there.

And the combat methods of those people who appeared in the field of vision were very similar to those of the garrison of Shanling Pass!

But how could the garrison of Shanling Pass appear here? Shanling Pass is far away from Fengyu City, and it is close to the border of Heishui State. It takes a long time to march from Shanling Pass to here. Moreover, after the attack and defense of Fengyu City broke out, Cai Cheng specially sent people to keep an eye on the direction of Shanling Pass, because he knew that the army of Shanling Pass was very powerful. After all, it was a border army, and this army was not under his control.

And the people he sent to keep an eye on the direction of Shanling Pass did not report to him that the defenders of Shanling Pass had any unusual movements. In theory, the defenders in Shanling Pass should still be in Shanling Pass. How could they appear here?

Cai Cheng's mind was a little confused now. Reason told him that the army of Shanling Pass could not appear here, but the combat method of this army in front of him was so similar to that of the defenders of Shanling Pass.

"Oh no!" Cai Cheng seemed to realize something, and suddenly shouted in shock: "Notify the army to retreat immediately, quickly!"

Regardless of whether the army in front of him was the army of Shanling Pass, one thing was certain, that is, this army was not the defenders of Fengyu City at all! Whether from their clothes, their fighting methods, or their combat effectiveness, this army cannot be the original army in Fengyu City!

Fengyu City has been besieged for some time. Cai Cheng's people have been fighting with the army in Fengyu City every day these days. They are already very familiar with the army in Fengyu City. Even if their combat effectiveness is improving every day, it is a process, and Cai Cheng's people are also familiar with their changes.

And the army in front of them is obviously different from the Fengyu City defenders they have fought during this period. Cai Cheng can be sure that this army is definitely not the defenders of Fengyu City! In other words, in Fengyu City at this time, in addition to the previous defenders, there are other armies!

If this is true, everything before makes sense.

Why did the defenders at the city gate suddenly change their defenses? Why did the defenders in the city smash down boulders to block the city gate after their people entered the city? All this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against them!

Obviously, the defenders in the city just want to trick them into the city, but "close" the city gate to trap them!

Unfortunately, Cai Cheng had not discovered this before, and his men had not discovered it either. They had fallen into the enemy's trap!

It was obvious that there must be a fierce battle in Fengyu City at this moment. The people in the city tricked them in and blocked the door to prevent them from coming out. It was impossible that they did it to hand over the city!

Cai Cheng did not know which troops were in the city, where they came from, and how many people they had! The less clear he was, the more panicked Cai Cheng became, and his body even trembled a little.

We must leave here!

We must let the people who entered the city withdraw!

Otherwise, they might be wiped out!

Cai Cheng's heart was gradually covered by fear.

"My Lord..." The general next to him said with an ugly face: "I just received news that another city gate was also blocked. We... We have lost contact with the army entering the city now."

The generals next to Cai Cheng all looked very ugly. They were not stupid. They just thought they knew the situation in the city very well before, so they were so confident.

But now, from all the signs, they have realized that their previous judgment was wrong, they were fooled, and this change of defense was a conspiracy from beginning to end!

However, it is too late to understand these now. Most of their troops have entered the city, and the remaining part is being encircled and suppressed by the troops who took the initiative to leave the city. The development of all things is extremely unfavorable to them!

Cai Cheng's face tightened, his body shook slightly, and his two fists clenched unconsciously.

"Sir, let's withdraw first. It's not safe here... It's not safe here." Zhao Qiushan said to Cai Cheng.

Unconsciously, Zhao Qiushan changed his name to Cai Cheng again. At this time, Zhao Qiushan was more panicked than anyone else. He did not belong to the sequence of military generals, and he did not understand the war as thoroughly as other generals. He still didn't know why things turned out like this. They were obviously the dominant party before, why did they become disadvantaged now, or even in a desperate situation?

Zhao Qiushan couldn't figure this out, but he was sure of one thing, they were in danger now. It was obvious that the people in the city would not let them go. After defeating those armies, they would naturally attack them. Therefore, they were in danger now. If they wanted to save their lives, they had to leave here as soon as possible.

"Yes, sir, let's leave here first."

"Is it too early to leave now? Are we just giving up? The situation in the city is still unclear. Perhaps our people can win?"

"Yes, many of our people have gone in. Even if they have other troops in the city, we may win!"

"Since the people in the city have set up this trap, they must be very confident. The number of troops in the city may exceed our imagination, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not low."

"Anyway, I don't agree to leave now. What's the difference between leaving now and being a deserter? Our soldiers could still fight. Knowing that we have given up on them, they will lose the courage to continue fighting. At that time, we really have no chance of winning!"

......

After Zhao Qiushan finished speaking, the generals next to Cai Cheng also spoke up one after another. However, everyone's opinions were not unified. Some agreed to withdraw now to retain their own strength, while others felt that they could not give up so early. Once they fled now, the war here would have no room for maneuver. This time, they completely lost the Fengyu City attack and defense.
