The first day of the attack was over, and the camp of Sima's army was dejected, with constant wailing and demoralization to the extreme.

Chen Qian inspected a circle, and also shook his head secretly, the morale of the army, not that you can raise it if you say a few passionate words and stir up it emotionally, originally in the battle of Lingshi Pass, Sima Jun suffered a heavy blow, and the division was unfavorable, this time regrouped the men and horses, and fought again, but the process of the battle was not ideal, and it was even said that it was a fiasco.

Such a defeat has obviously affected the morale of the army, and it has a great impact on the re-battle tomorrow, although Chen Qian also feels that it is very difficult to take Jiexiu City in a short time, but with the current state of Sima Jun, I am afraid that the more he fights, the less confidence he will have.

After returning to the Chinese military tent, Chen Qian said to Sima Shi: "The eldest prince, the situation is a little not optimistic, it seems that today's battle situation has a great impact on the morale of the army, and the armies obviously do not have much confidence in capturing Jiexiu." ”

Sima Shi personally experienced this battle, so everything that happened on the battlefield was his purpose, and now Sima Jun's morale is low, which is also reasonable, and the setback in the first battle will definitely affect the morale of the army.

And in today's first battle, the casualties of the Sima army are indeed relatively large, just the Zhongji was trapped in the urn city and the whole army was destroyed, there were as many as 1,000 people, plus the casualties during the siege, this day, the Sima army lost at least 3,000 people, if according to this casualty rate, within half a month, the Sima army will not have to fight all the men and horses?

What's more, the siege equipment is damaged, needless to say, the catapult is destroyed, none of them survived, the siege vehicle is almost destroyed, and the remaining one is almost half disabled, as for the most important ladder for the siege, the loss is more than half, if the siege continues tomorrow, the number is definitely insufficient.

Sima Shi said: "Today's battle can already be seen, Jiexiu will definitely be a hard bone to gnaw, and it will not be easy to take it down." Morale is not the most important thing, in today's battle, the equipment is seriously damaged, and the number of ladders to attack the city is insufficient, this is the problem that needs to be solved urgently, otherwise why will the city be attacked tomorrow? ”

Chen Qian said: "It can be built by craftsmen overnight, and it may be able to solve some urgent needs." ”

Sima Shi shook his head and said: "Although there are some craftsmen in the baggage camp, they are specialized in repairing and maintaining equipment, and building hundreds of ladders overnight must be beyond their strength. ”

Chen Qian frowned and said, "What should I do?" ”

Sima Shi said: "I went back to the Chinese army camp overnight to take a look, and met my father, maybe he would have a better way, as for the ladder and other things, they will also be raised, and they will definitely be able to come back before the end of tomorrow morning." As for the matter of the military camp, I will leave it to Brother Xiu Yuan, and I must be careful to prevent a sneak attack by the state army in the middle of the night. ”

Chen Qian smiled reluctantly and said, "This eldest prince, please rest assured, if the state army doesn't come, I hope they can come in the middle of the night." ”

Obviously, Chen Qian made arrangements in the anti-robbery camp, this does not need Sima Shi to worry about, Sima Shi decided to go back to the Chinese army camp overnight to meet Sima Yi, today's battle, the fight was terrible, Sima Shi wanted to listen to his father's advice, to see if there is any good way to reverse the current passive situation, at least in terms of experience, Sima Yi is unmatched.

Sima Yi's Chinese army camp was stationed at Lingshi Pass, thirty miles away, Sima Shi galloped quickly, and it didn't take long to arrive, and the affairs of the forward battalion were handed over to Chen Qian, and there was nothing to worry about.

Sima Shi led his personal cavalry team to Lingshi Pass in a hurry, and when he arrived at the Lingshi Pass camp, he found that the camp was brightly lit and Sima Yi had not yet slept, so he hurried to the Chinese military tent to meet Sima Yi.

"Father!" After Sima Shi entered the account, he found that Sima Yi was concentrating on reading the official documents, and there were thick piles of cases on top of several cases.

In fact, there is no need for Sima Shi to come to report, Sima Yi has been paying attention to the battle report of Jiexiu, anyway, Jiexiu is not far from Lingshi Pass, and Sima Yi can get the latest battle report every hour, so everything that happened today is under Sima Yi's control.

They fought so badly, Sima Shi was worried that Sima Yi would be angry, so when he saw Sima Yi reading the official document, he felt a little uneasy.

Sima Yimu was expressionless, just raised his head slightly, and said, "Sit." Sima Shi didn't dare to disturb, so he had to carefully kneel on the edge of a few cases, waiting for Sima Yi to finish his official business.

After a while, Sima Yi finally stopped writing, glanced at Sima Yi, and said lightly: "Shi'er, what do you think of today's battle, tell me about it?" ”

Sima Shi said with a guilty face: "The child has failed his father's expectations, today's battle, the loss is indeed the child's fault, please punish the father." ”

Sima Yi said calmly: "The siege battle, for example, is not easy to fight, and it is reasonable that you did not take Jiexiu." If there is any shortcoming, it is that you have not prepared enough to merge the state army, and in terms of intelligence, there are serious deficiencies, and you have not even figured out the defensive situation of Jiexiu City, and if you act rashly, you will inevitably suffer defeat. But I believe that you have learned a lesson, and if you fight again tomorrow, you will not make the same mistake again, and it is the most important thing to take Jiexiu as soon as possible and open the passage to Jinyang in the north. ”

Sima Shi bowed his head and said: "What the father said is very true, the child should remember it, but the child has a few things that are not clear, and I ask the father to see it." ”

Sima Yi glanced at him and said, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

Sima Shi immediately said: "Yes, this is what the child is trying to say, in today's battle, the child originally planned to let the catapult serve as the first attack, destroy the arrow tower built by Bingzhou, and frustrate the enemy's spirit, but he never thought that the catapult was hit by the catapult in the city before it could be fired, and the whole army was exhausted, and the original plan was all disrupted, so that it was difficult to maintain the situation later." The child was a little puzzled, why could the catapults of the state army come first? I heard that Cao Liang had a close relationship with Ma Jun in the previous matter, could it be that he relied on Ma Junzhi's ability to remake the catapult, so this situation occurred? ”

Sima Yi nodded lightly and said: "This is indeed very possible, Ma Jun is a man of genius, and he once went to the imperial court to improve the method of catapults, but at that time, Cao Shuang was in power and ignored it, and no one paid attention to it in the future, but I didn't expect Cao Liang to pick up this cheap, which is also a negligence for his father."
