The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 387 Counterattack of West City ([-])
"Jin Ni is coming up again!"

"Brothers, draw the knife. Melee!"

The time came to the third day of April, and ten days had passed since the west city was fully attacked.

As time went by, soldiers of the Jin army attacked the city wall more and more times, and stayed longer and longer at the crenel.The Han soldiers had to pay an increasing price to push it back.

However, Luo Xian, who had been frowning all the time, became more and more relaxed.

"Drop 300 people from the reserve team in the city to support the brothers on the Western Wall."

"promise!"

"Deploy 200 people from the north wall to support the east wall!"

"promise!"

At this time, Luo Xian was sitting on a new high watchtower in the center of the city, and his vision covered the four gates in the south, east, north, and west.He constantly deployed manpower according to changes in the battlefield in a timely manner, and used the limited troops in the city to the extreme.

"General Wei, you have drawn people from the north wall again. If Xiao Wang remembers correctly, there are less than [-] defenders on the north wall at this time. If Jin Ni attacks on the north wall at this time..."

"Hehehe, don't worry, the king, the attack on the north wall is just a feint. It is enough to keep 500 people."

"Why is this?"

"Because the enemy's troops are starting to run short."

Looking at the blank-eyed King Wei, Luo Xian smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, although there are new catapults and new defensive bastions for the siege of the city, in the final analysis, we must rely on soldiers to win. Man, does Your Majesty agree with this point?"

"Of course."

"In the attack and defense of the western city, when the Jinni attacked for the first time ten days ago, about [-] to [-] soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the four gates attacked together. We had [-] defenders and [-] civilians to deal with it. So that attack, although the momentum The most massive, but our defense is not difficult."

"General Wei, please continue."

"Later Jinni took advantage of the large number of troops and ordered the troops to attack the city in batches. Because the Jinni army had a large number of troops, even if they attacked the city in batches, our army had to deploy most of the troops to battle. A few days After coming down, the soldiers of our army were exhausted, and gradually felt strenuous in defending the city wall. However, in any case, when the city wall attacked and defended, the one who suffered heavy casualties was often the side that attacked the city. Therefore, after ten days, although our army has gradually reduced more than 2000 people, Nearly half of the civilian husbands were also lost. However, Jin Ni's soldiers were killed or injured, probably no less than [-]. In this way, the remaining troops of Jin Ni can no longer maintain the previous four simultaneous high-intensity attacks. "

"So Jinni's current attack on the city has to feint with a few sections of the city wall to contain part of our troops. Create opportunities for the section of the city wall that is the main attack?"

"Your Majesty sees thousands of miles away. In fact, before coming to this West City, the foreign ministers had a hard time in front of my family's chief Sima. Like Xicheng, which is located on a plain and can be attacked at any time with four gates, it is defended by 7000 people. It is not enough. If Jin Ni has an army of [-] to attack the city this time, I am afraid that the foreign ministers can only defend it for five or six days at most."

"Uh...General Wei, please ask me, Xiao Wang. How can you tell which is a feint and which is the main attack?"

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, this is the magic of using troops. Many times, it is a question of intuition. Foreign ministers cannot give the King a detailed answer to this question. After the King has experienced many battles in the future, he will continue to learn and summarize. Sooner or later It will develop that feeling."

The people in the city are getting more and more relaxed, but the mood of the people in the city is getting worse and worse.

"My lord, as of today, the cumulative casualties of the entire army have exceeded 3000. The remaining soldiers also show signs of illness."

"What?! Onset?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The military medical officer said that spring has come, and the uniforms of our soldiers are still winter clothes. Therefore, those who wear winter clothes often sweat profusely when they move. But without suitable spring clothes, it is easy to catch cold after taking off the winter clothes. Therefore ..."

"Bastard! That Yang Xiao who is in charge of the arsenal doesn't want to live, does he? Isn't he afraid that the king will return to Luoyang and destroy his three clans?"

"Uh... Your Majesty. I really can't blame the arsenal for this matter. For spring clothes, the general had notified Luoyang two months ago for the arsenal to send them. But on the way, most of the boats with spring clothes happened to be burned down by thieves. .The final general has written about Luoyang again, but the new spring clothes have not yet arrived."

"Hey~~~ I will personally write a letter to His Majesty later. Ask Luoyang to bring in the seasonal clothes as soon as possible. In addition, the imperial court will send more medical officers and medicines."

"The king is sympathetic, and the soldiers are blessed."

"Don't talk about those useless things. Although I don't know about the current battle situation, I can see it. Although the rebels are already at the end of their strength, our army is gradually feeling powerless."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Our army has paid such a price, and finally pushed the rebels to the end. At this time, it depends on who will be unable to hold on first. Therefore, the last general suggested that Your Majesty should write a letter to the court, and then ask for reinforcements." Not too many, as long as there are another [-] reinforcements, the west city will be destroyed!"

"...The country only has a total of 20 standing troops now. Will 8 people be invested in the west city? Well, if there is no increase in troops, all the previous efforts will be in vain. Come on, I will serve you with pen and ink, and I will write now. letter."

"Report~~~ Your Majesty! Generals! Go forward and report to Cao Ji!"

"What's the matter?"

"The Shu thieves sent troops from Hanzhong. On March 29, about 2000 Shu thieves marched eastward from the Golden City. Judging by its banner, it is the pseudo chariot general Zhang Yi!"

"Is it finally here? Huh? March 29th? But now it's the third day of April!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. The mountain road is rough. In addition, the scouts of the Shu thieves and Si Wencao are intercepting us, so the news is a bit slow."

Sima Jun waved his hand irritably, told the scouts to retreat, and said to the crowd: "At such a critical moment in the war, the Shu thieves are really going to intervene. Everyone, what can I do?"

After everyone under his command looked at each other, Liu Hong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yi, the chieftain of the bandits, has always been more than cautious in his use of troops in the end, and has always been more than cautious. Therefore, the enemy's army is at least two or three away from our camp. But it is also because of such a cautious general leading the army, so the last general thought that the reinforcements from the Shu thieves this time would not be only 2000 people."

"What does Uncle He think, how many soldiers and horses does the Shu thief have this time?"

this?How do I know?
But he didn't need to worry about this problem soon.Because at this time, the southwest and northwest sides of the Jin army camp rang the copper gong at the same time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

Hearing such a voice, the people who were discussing in the big tent of the Chinese army quickly walked out of the tent.Looking up from a distance, I saw the basin where our army was stationed, and on the mountains near the edge, banners and banners were flying, and people were everywhere.Even if the enemy is bluffing, but to make such a big battle, no matter what, the number of enemy troops must be at least 1 or more!

Not only that, the banner played by the enemy on the mountain was not General Zhang, but General Jiang of the Han Dynasty!
"It was actually Jiang Boyue who came in person! It was Jiang Boyue who came in person..."

Now the Jin army is under attack, and its situation is very bad.The reason is that it took too long for the Jin army to come to Xicheng.For more than three months, the only attack direction of the Jin army here was the west city.Therefore, the defense of the Jin army camp has always been tight inside and loose outside: the side facing the west city is densely covered with arrow towers, and the walls of the camp are simply reinforced with rammed earth.On the other side, facing the mountains behind the basin, a wooden fence was simply erected, and no antlers or horses were installed.

And because the Jin army stationed here for several months has always been actively attacking, except for Luo Xian who once led people out to attack the camp, there was no attack from other directions.With the gradual shortage of troops in the near future, the commanders of the Jin army concentrated almost all their troops in Qianzhai next to Xicheng.And Houzhai is almost all military and civilian husbands and luggage.

"How is it possible? How could this be? Then how could Jiang Boyue lead so many people so close to our camp without a sound?!"

Having said that, Jiang Wei's team is actually in a very bad situation now: in order to hide their whereabouts from Jinzuo's spies.The Han army was divided into dozens of small teams and came forward separately. The food that the detachment arrived early had already eaten up, and the food bags of the follow-up troops had also dried up.In order to hurry up, the last 2000 people abandoned all their supplies and marched lightly. They arrived here after five days of hasty marching. The whole army had no food for a day!
Not only that, at this time the establishment of the Han army was completely messed up.At this time, although everyone rushed down from the mountain, the momentum looked amazing.But as long as the back village of the Jin army can resist for an hour or two, he will not be disturbed by the Han army.So organized versus unorganized, victory or defeat is actually a very simple matter.

The light army raided, disrupted by chaos, and risked annihilation of the entire army in order to win.This kind of battle was indeed Jiang Wei's usual style.

"The whole army should not be chaotic! The bandits are not too many!"

"All the personnel in Houzhai withdrew from the edge of the camp to the Chinese army, and the soldiers of the Chinese army organized and formed formations on the spot!"

"The first to eighth schools of the former army will be transferred!"

Although Sima Jun's face was ashen at this time, he was panicked and didn't know why.But other officers of the Jin army responded quickly.

Unfortunately, the response was quick and the relevant instructions were correct.But the problem is execution.

In the Jin Army at this time, the Jingzhou Army, Yangzhou Army, and Luoyang Central Army did not spend too much time working with each other.Especially in the Luoyang Central Army, there are too many recruits from all over the country, resulting in many times the language in the team does not communicate You need to follow the veterans to act).With such a team, it is no problem to surround the enemy's city at the beginning, and then slowly organize and then act.but now?
Soon, Jiang Wei's army broke through the back stronghold in chaos and approached the central army.At this time, a large number of civilian husbands and some recruits in the back village of the Jin army rushed in chaos.

"Bastard! Let them enter the central army from both sides of the camp, come here, send an order! Anyone who dares to charge into our central army array, regardless of the enemy or us, will be shot!"

But before the messenger here had time to agree, there were bursts of noisy shouts from the other direction of the Jin army camp.

Luo Xian, who had been under siege for several months, led his army to charge out immediately!
