Shu Chen

Chapter 522 Ten Days
Sima Yi would not agree to Qian Hong and Zhou Dang's invitation to fight.

The lessons learned from the Battle of Mudwater River Valley can not be used as a guide for the future!

Moreover, when he agreed to Qianhong's invitation to fight, he had already had the idea of ​​trying it out.Since it has been found out that the Han army's strength in Longdong is not large, there is no possibility of attacking Qi County, and the purpose is already there, so why come back to ask for orders?

Furthermore, he is going to send troops to rescue Chen Cangcheng in advance.

There is no need for a war to break out in Anding County, so as to avoid complications.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, he wrote a letter to Qi County.

To be precise, it is a transfer order.

As Wang Sheng's headquarters continued to guard Qi County as before, Bie Ling Qianhong, Zhou Dang, and Wang Qi each led their headquarters to Qishui to go south to Yong County, and joined forces with Sun Li's Department of the Conquering Shu Army.

Its intention is to guard against Zheng Pu's troops.

He was worried that when he led a large army to fight fiercely with Wei Yan's troops who were besieged for reinforcements, Zheng Pu would quietly transfer troops from Longdong to defeat Sun Li's troops and attack him southward.

In the same way, the army originally stationed in Chang'an also began to march to the west of Beiyuan to encircle.

This kind of scheduling can be regarded as a deliberate achievement.

The only shortcoming is that Qian Hong and Zhou Dang's troops have been dispatched for a long time, and it will take two or three days to rest when they transfer to Yong County. Eight days later.

It's just that it's only an extra three days. Guo Huai's department should be free from worries, right?

Sima Yi gently put his pen down on the case, dried the ink on the letter, and let the courier quickly take it away, then slowly walked out of the Chinese army's tent, and looked up in the direction of Chen Cangcheng.

"Ten days at most, the governor will come to rescue the soldiers! All the soldiers will work hard and honor the family with their dedication!"

On top of Chen Cangcheng, Guo Huai encouraged the soldiers to fight to the death.

Yes, he felt that he could still hold the outer city for ten days without losing it.

Although many crenels outside the city are now damaged, making it easier for the Han army to climb up, and the more than [-] defenders in the city have already suffered more than [-] casualties. Equipment such as thunderbolt chariots, bed crossbows, and wooden cities have all been damaged, and ointment and wood have also been consumed. Exhausted, even the arrows and crossbows are about to run out, but he still has such confidence.

The reason is that the Han army suffered more casualties and could no longer continue to attack day and night.

The soldiers have had time to rest and have survived the initial difficulties. With the expectation that a large army will come to rescue, why is it difficult to stay for ten more days?

In fact, his judgment was sound.

In the Han army camp outside the west city gate, the prime minister in white clothes like snow watched the soldiers of the Han army return to the camp in the afterglow of the setting sun, and did not get off the nest cart for a long time.

Even after watching the battle for a day, he was already hungry, and his legs ached after standing for too long.

Chen Cang's difficult attack was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Han army, who did not spare any casualties, continued to attack for more than ten days, leaving the corpses under the city lying in Yingye, but the dawn of breaking the city still did not usher in.

Yes, not at all.

The soldiers of the Han army were able to attack the city wall every day, but they were still unable to gain a firm foothold.

Before the follow-up soldiers surged up, they were driven off the city wall.

In other words, Guo Huai will be slightly too good.

Having served in Yongliang for many years, he is very capable of winning the deadly force of the soldiers. When defending the city, he reserved a centurion every [-] steps on each section of the city wall. Once the Han army climbed the city wall, they would rush to support it. .Let the seemingly precarious persistence always maintain the situation of outnumbering the few, making countless soldiers of the Han army hate, and stop in the melancholy of being about to break but not being able to break.

"Prime Minister, it's time to use evening food."

After an unknown amount of time, Guan Xing, who was promoted to the governor of the city, came under the nest car, raised his head and called out loudly.

"it is good."

The prime minister, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned his head to signal the soldiers beside him to lower the nest cart.

As soon as he landed, Guan Xing came to help him carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister, if you don't attack the city the next day, I will personally lead the trilogy to ascend first."

Ok?
As a general, you should use the center to dispatch as your ability, how can you have the thought of being attached to someone by yourself!
With a slight pause in his footsteps, the Prime Minister frowned and turned his head sideways. After seeing the intertwined guilt and hope in Guan Xing's eyes, he eased his expression and continued to move forward.

He knew Guan Xing's difficulties.

This time, Guan Xing and Wu Ban each supervised [-] soldiers to attack the west and north city walls.

It has been nearly a month since the clearing of the obstacles outside the city, and the soldiers of the Han army have also suffered more than [-] casualties, but there is still no hope of breaking the city.

In this way, the vigor of the soldiers inevitably became sluggish.

In other words, this is also the reason why Sima Yi, the governor of Wei Yongliang, who has an army of more than [-], has troops on his side, but has not come to rescue for a long time.

Wait for work with ease, and wait for the Han army to be exhausted before fighting again.

Guan Xing, who was promoted to the governor of the city, blamed this situation on his own failure to supervise the battle.

That's why he thought about using his own hands to take stones and arrows to motivate the soldiers and fight with all their strength to see if they could break the deadlock.

But the prime minister didn't want to grant his request.There are too few great generals, and there are very few such as Guan Xingzhi, how can he be allowed to kiss Mao Shiya!

"Prime Minister, I'm not trying to be brave, but thinking like this."

Seeing that the Prime Minister was noncommittal, Guan Xinglue hesitated, and then said softly, "Our army has not attacked at night for four days. Presumably, the defenders against Wei thought that our army could not continue. Therefore, I think that after the daytime attack the next day, three nights Geng Shi personally supervised the attack again, and attracted all the defenders to the west wall, and then asked Jiang Boyue to send thousands of soldiers and horses to sneak in from the south wall with ropes, to see if there is a chance of success."

Hit east and west.
After listening, the prime minister knew it in his heart.

Three days ago, Gein sent a letter to Jiang Wei, who was encamped on the south bank of the Wei River with more than ten thousand tiger infantry troops, on the grounds that there was no Wei army attacking there, asking if he needed to send half of his troops to the west gate. Or allow him to try to steal the city with a rope at night.

At that time, the prime minister rejected it.

Because Guo Huai felt that Guo Huai, who had been in the army for a long time, could not prevent the Han army from stealing the city at night.

But now Guan Xing mentioned it again, and planned to personally lead the trilogy to create opportunities for Jiang Weibu, but he felt that it would be better to fight to the death than to continue to consume the lives of the soldiers.

As for whether it will be successful~~
Anyway, if you fail to steal the city, the casualties of the soldiers will not be less than when you attacked the fortifications.

"inappropriate."

However, the prime minister didn't think so, "An Guo has thought about it. If the stealing of the city fails, our army's morale may be completely lost, and it will be difficult to attack the fortress! How about this, I will ask Bo Yue to send four thousand soldiers to come to you to dispatch. Although the defenders against Wei Resist tenaciously in the corner, but if our army attacks ten days more, we will be able to defeat it! Don't be in a hurry and waste all your previous efforts."

After saying that, before Guan Xing could speak, the Prime Minister hastily added, "There is no need to worry about Ni Wei Sima Yi's soldiers coming to rescue. You Wenchang and Zijin are mutually repelling each other, Ni Wei cannot cross the river."

Guan Xing could not refute this.

He opened his mouth and finally said, "No."
