The Huainan army suddenly had a feeling of confusion, it stands to reason that the enemy will arrange sentries to keep an eye on it under any circumstances, and once it finds any abnormal actions of the other party, it will notify the resting army as soon as possible.

Under normal circumstances, there will definitely be a time lag in between, and it will take at least a certain amount of time for the sleeping army to be put into battle.

Judging from the actual situation, it seems that these armies have already been ambushed there, waiting for the Huainan army to enter the range of bows and arrows, and then immediately fire their bows and arrows.

In this way, these Sima Army archers did not go to sleep at all, but stayed on the trenches day and night, and went into battle at any time, not giving the Huainan army any opportunity to take advantage of.

Wang Feixiao couldn't help but be puzzled, the Huainan Army's breakthrough operation this time was not a long-planned action, but a temporary decision, from the time it was set to the attack, it was only about half a day, for the sake of secrecy, during this period, Wang Feixiao also deliberately blocked the city gate and city wall, prohibiting anyone from leaving the city, including the displaced people who wanted to defect to Sima Jun, in order to prevent the news from leaking.

Just looking at the dense rain of arrows in the Sima army, we know that the Sima army has invested a lot of troops, if it is not known in advance, it is impossible for the Sima army to send such a large number of archers to guard here.

Wang Feixiao suspected that there was a traitor in the Huainan army, and deliberately leaked the news of the breakthrough to Sima Jun, but he still had a little doubt, even if there was really a traitor, how did he break through the defense of Shouchun City and pass the news to Sima Jun?

In fact, Wang Feixiao's speculation is a bit outrageous, this time Sima Jun ambushed the archers here, and it really has nothing to do with the leakage of the traitor.

Sima Jun got the news of Cao Liang's withdrawal earlier than the Huainan Army, so after getting this news, Sima Division, who was in charge of siege operations, immediately adjusted the defense plan and arranged a large number of archers to ambush behind the trenches, keeping an eye on the defense day and night to prevent the Huainan Army from breaking through.

The Bingzhou Army is probably Wang Ling's last hope, once the Bingzhou Army can't count on it, Wang Ling's last hope of sticking to Shouchun will also be extinguished, so if nothing else, the Huainan Army will definitely break through in the near future, and the siege tactics of the Sima Army will be adjusted accordingly to the anti-breakout operation.

Arranging a large number of archers to defend the trenches was naturally Sima Shi's handiwork, and even Sima Yi did not intervene, but let Sima Shi do it.

Although Sima Yi is still the leading coach, he is no longer responsible for the specific tactical arrangements, and many things have been handed over to Sima Shi to deal with, perhaps Sima Yi is also deliberately cultivating Sima Shi's leadership and command ability to prepare for succession.

Sima Shi also seemed to understand Sima Yi's good intentions, so in this battle of Shouchun, he was more proactive than anyone else, and only in this way could he win Sima Yi's trust and hand over the great cause of the Sima family to him with confidence.

Although Sima Shi is the eldest son of the Sima family, and in terms of ability, Sima Shi is also the most prominent among the sons, but Sima Shi knows that Sima Yi is very strict about the matter of the heir, and if he does not show some achievements, it will be difficult to get Sima Yi's favor.

In this battle of Huainan, Sima Shi has become the commander of specific military affairs, and whether he can achieve a victory will become the ultimate test for Sima Yi, and Sima Shi certainly does not dare to slack off.

In order to grasp the movements of the Huainan army, Sima Shi sent a large number of scouts to reconnoitre, although Wang Feixiao blocked the city gate and forbade anyone to enter and leave Shouchun City, which seemed to block the source of information for Sima Jun, but this also seemed to give Sima Shi a wake-up call, the Huainan army was so careful and guarded that it was likely to be launched soon.

Later, the scouts who approached the city came back to report that they smelled the smell of stewed horse meat that spread throughout Shouchun City, and Sima Shi knew even more.

The lack of food in the Huainan army is already an indisputable fact, it is estimated that the soldiers have not smelled the smell of meat for a few months, and at this time they suddenly killed horses and sacrificed their teeth, obviously the Huainan army is ready to fight to the death.

After grasping this information, Sima Shi ordered the whole army to immediately put into battle preparations, the first to deploy these archers, as the main force to guard the trenches, the archers were ready for the first time, seeing the Huainan army frantically pounced, the archers of the Sima army were calm, the bow in the hand, the arrows were in the string, and when the Huainan army entered the range of the bow and arrows, it was immediately ten thousand arrows in unison, and the enemy was hit hard.

Wang Feixiao was still annoyed that the news of the breakthrough had leaked out, but the whole operation was already like an arrow from the string and had to be sent, so even if he suffered a blow from Sima Jun, the Huainan Army's forward steps could not be stopped because of this.

Wang Feixiao immediately changed the strategy of the attack, sent archers to cover the rear troops facing the attack, and added shield soldiers to protect the attacking troops.

The archers of the Sima army hid behind the trenches, and with the cover of the bunkers, they could shoot unscrupulously, although the bows and arrows of the Huainan army were very strong, but the effect was unsatisfactory, and they could not shoot a few people at all.

The Huainan army was in an open field, unobstructed, so they undoubtedly became the target of the Sima army's archers, and the road of just two or three miles was full of the corpses of the Huainan soldiers, and many of them had fallen before they had a chance to get close to the trench.

And the closer they got to the trench, the more dense the rain of arrows from Sima Jun's became, and many Huainan soldiers who had finally rushed to the front of the trench found that this trench was wider and deeper than they imagined, and this was simply an insurmountable moat.

A sandbag was thrown down, and it was as small as a grain of sand thrown into the ravine, disappearing without a trace, and the unchanged trench made these Huainan soldiers almost despair.

It was not only the sandbags that fell into the trench, but also the corpses of the Huainan soldiers, and after throwing the sandbags, they no longer had a chance to dodge Sima Jun's arrows, and they fell into the trench with sandbags.

Wang Feixiao seemed to have a sudden inspiration because of this, yes, sandbags can be used to fill the trenches, and the corpses can also be used, and compared with the sandbags, the corpses are larger, so Wang Feixiao ordered the Huainan army to carry the corpses of the robes that died on the way and throw them into the trenches, which greatly accelerated the speed of filling the trenches.
