Sima Yi in Xudu City did not know that Liu He had already possessed powerful skills at this time, but he deeply understood that since the last time he planned to attack Liu He's camp, Cao Cao was even more afraid of him. Once Liu He's army retreated, Cao Cao would definitely abandon him. Therefore, the longer the war, the more his status would be increased. Once the war ended early, he would definitely be left behind.

So although Cao Cao repeatedly proposed that Sima Yi plan his next attack as soon as possible, Sima Yi always refuses because Liu He is definitely prepared.

After nearly a month of this, Xudu's food and supplies were in a hurry and he couldn't hold on anymore, so Cao Cao once again found Sima Yi and asked him to find a way to launch a sneak attack in the near future, preferably directly attacking Liu He's tent, defeating the main force of Liu He's army in one fell swoop, and completing his contributions in one battle.

"Oh, it seems that Cao Cao is too impatient, so don't think about it. If things were so easy, Liu He would have perished long ago, but now his strength is getting stronger and stronger, which proves that he is definitely not that easy to deal with. However, this does not mean that there is no certain chance of winning, but it always has to pay a certain price. Now it is a chance to weaken Cao Cao's strength."

Sima Yi thought silently, and then said to Cao Cao: "If the lord wants to win a complete victory, this battle requires mobilizing the main force of our army to fight the opponent. The subordinate's plan includes three parts. First, the lord leads the army to attack the enemy's camps in the south of the city at night and the east of the city to make a feint attack to attract the attention of the enemy; second, the lord personally leads the army to attack Liu He's central army tent in order to completely defeat Liu He; third, the lord also needs to lead the army to chase the enemy in order to expand the results of the battle and restore his hometown. In this battle, I believe that Liu He was defeated miserably, and our army can also take the opportunity to recover the lost large areas of land, and even take the opportunity to seize Liu He's Guanzhong land. This is the foundation of our establishment. Once we get Guanzhong, Youjiqing and other states are at your fingertips."

"Okay, Zhongda is indeed a clever plan." Cao Cao was amazed when he heard this, and at the same time he felt excited, because he believed that under Sima Yi's plan, he would definitely be able to defeat Liu He in this battle, regain his hometown, and then annex the world.

Therefore, Cao Cao ordered Qianzhao to lead 5,000 troops to attack the camp of Zhoucang outside the North City Gate, and Liang Xi to lead 5,000 troops to attack the camp of Zhang Xiu outside the South City Gate, but he led the generals Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Zhu Ling and others to lead 100,000 troops to attack the camp of Liu He's Central Army outside the West City Gate.

The scale of this battle is so large that it is not a sneak attack. It is simply a prestigious attack, but it is just launched under the cover of night.

In fact, it is not wrong to say that it is under the cover of night, but the time Sima Yi determined was at the fourth update, and the purpose was to launch an attack when Liu He was absolutely unprepared.

At the fourth update, the three gates in the west, south and north of Xudu City were quietly opened, and soldiers from all walks of life were clamped and even covered their horses' hooves. They quietly left the gate of Xudu City and rushed towards Liu He's army.

This is the darkest time before dawn, and generally the time when the defense is most relaxed, because it is dawn soon, and no one would have expected someone to launch a sneak attack at this time.

Cao Cao led a 100,000 army, and had already completed the encirclement of Liu He's central camps before dawn. When he saw the first shimmer of light in the morning, he launched a signal of attack. He could only hear the sound of snare drums and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. The 100,000 army surrounded Liu He's camp from three sides and launched a crazy attack.

"Kill!" Cao Hong won the last time he attacked Zhou Cang's camp and was unanimously praised by civil and military officials. He thought he was the reincarnation of the military god. Sun Wu came down to earth and relied on his bravery. He led his army to break through the gate of the village and first killed him.

However, he had just rushed in five or six feet away and suddenly felt the horse sitting down and suddenly fell. He quickly looked down and found that he had fallen into a trap and was still falling rapidly.

"Oh no, the bandits must be prepared." Cao Hong was shocked and poked the spear in his hand down in panic. After a while, he finally felt that the spear touched the realm. He quickly stabbed the spear down hard, and then leveraged the force to jump up and actually jumped out of the trap.

However, as soon as he stepped onto the flat ground, he heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air in front of him. When he opened his eyes, he saw thousands of crossbows in the middle of the camp firing at the same time.

At this time, Cao Hong had no weapons in his hand and could not block the crossbow arrows. Even if he had weapons, he could not block the crossbow arrows. In desperation, he had to lie down on the ground and rolled on the ground. Although he was embarrassed, he finally avoided the feather arrows shot. Then he took the opportunity to grab a spear from the soldiers beside him, and then stood up again. Then he rode on the war horse given to him by a cavalry. Then he said loudly: "Although the enemy is ambushed, right in the middle of the camp, our army now has an absolute advantage. As long as we rush forward, we will definitely win. The soldiers, kill, the Prime Minister has an order. Those who capture Liu He are ranked as the third duke, the Marquis of Wanhu, and the Marquis of Guannei!"

"Kill!" When they heard that Liu He was able to be the chief minister, all the soldiers were furious and rushed forward desperately, because high-ranking officials like Gongqiu were not something that anyone could do. Some families have been nobles for generations, but they were unable to be such high-ranking officials. What's more, many of them were from poor families, and even ten or even ten generations of people had never even been a county magistrate. Now there is an opportunity to be a noble in front of them. Even if they have fought for this life, it would be worth it. Even if they were just posthumous, they would probably be able to show their own family for several lifetimes.

However, these soldiers had no idea that what was waiting for them was not the opportunity to get the ministers, but the gates of hell. The faster they rushed, the closer they were to death.

In fact, when he learned about Sima Yi's plan, even Liu He couldn't help but exclaim that Cao Cao was crazy enough, and at the same time, he was amazed that Sima Yi was vicious and used this to weaken Cao Cao's power and strengthen his influence in the court.

However, Liu He also made sufficient preparations for this. During the few months of setting up camp, Liu He created tens of thousands of crossbows transformed by Ma Jun in the camp. Each crossbow can shoot twenty crossbow arrows at the same time. However, without the skill bonus, plus Ma Jun's skill bonus, each crossbow can shoot thirty crossbow arrows, and tens of thousands of crossbows continuously fire crossbow arrows. This wave will be more than 300,000 crossbow arrows. Even if it is scattered in all directions, the total damage caused is very terrifying.

Under a round of crossbow arrows, almost all of the soldiers under Cao Cao were injured, and tens of thousands of people were shot dead and more than ten thousand were seriously injured.

Just one round of crossbow arrows caused Cao Cao to reduce his troops by 20%. Such a record has never appeared in history. Even when Cao Cao saw this scene, he could hardly sit on the horse and almost fell off the horse.
