After listening to Wen Yan's words, the green tendons on his forehead skyrocketed, and his two eyes narrowed into a slit. I saw him stretch out his hand and shout to his subordinates: "Old Man Wenyan, don't want to mess with our army's heart!" I have an army of 200,000 to block Wuwei, and I don't believe that he can break out of the encirclement! You're still worried about yourselves than I'm behind! ”

After speaking, Zheng Gu shouted to his subordinates: "They deliberately disturbed the morale of our army, indicating that they are already afraid, and the generals listened to the order and gave me a blow to take the inner capital!" ”

With Zheng Gu's order, 100,000 Zheng Guo's foot soldiers launched an attack on the inner capital. And Sima Xiao's side is also ready to hold on for a long time.

On the other side, Wu Wei and his army had just been stationed next to Sima Xue's military camp, and the scouts came with news.

"Report~! reported to the general that Zheng led an army of 100,000 to besiege the inner capital, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to march in the direction of our army with 200,000 troops. ”

Wu Wei immediately jumped up when he heard this, it was normal for Zheng Gu to send troops to attack him, but how could he attack the inner capital? Could it be that what Sima Xiao said was true, they transferred 50,000 troops just to test Zheng Guo's sincerity, not to collude with Zheng Guo to deal with themselves?

Thinking of this, Wu Wei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: Neidu is the transportation hub in the south of Huaiguo, extending in all directions, once the inner capital falls into the hands of Zheng Guo, I am afraid that other cities in the south will be difficult to hold!

So Wu Wei immediately summoned people to discuss countermeasures, and sent someone to inform Sima Xue of the news.

Sima Xue had already made up his mind here, and before leaving, Sima Xiao told him to calm down, and only wait for the opportunity to move after the Wuwei army moved. So when he received the news from the Wuwei faction, he just gathered people and pretended to be pretended, and he didn't plan to send troops at all.

And Wu Wei's side has already exploded. When everyone learned that Zheng Gu led people to attack the inner capital, they began to condemn Sima Xiao for being stupid, how could he test Zheng Gu so much, didn't he give the inner capital to the other party in vain?

Wu Wang still had some doubts, he couldn't help but say: "Could it be a play performed by Zheng Gu and Sima Xiao together, deliberately letting us send troops to support the inner capital, and then they ambushed us on the way." ”

Sun Xu hurriedly said: "General Wuwang, if Sima Xiao really defects to Zheng Guo, then he directly leads Zheng Gu into the inner capital, and then the sixteen cities in the south of our country are all within the attack range of Zheng Gu, so why do you need to ambush our army in one fell swoop?" ”

Wu Wang wanted to argue, but Wu Wei stopped him.

"Sun Xu is right, if Sima Xiao really wants to take refuge in Zheng Guo, he doesn't need to design to frame our army at all, and directly hand over the inner capital city to the other party, and it will be a hundred! Therefore, we still have to save this inner capital, otherwise the area south of the Qin River will become the target of the enemy's attack. ”

So Wu Wei immediately ordered to gather troops and horses and prepare to gallop to the inner capital.

However, as soon as the order was issued, the scouts came again with news that the 200,000 troops of the Wu Kingdom had blocked the route to support the inner capital, and if they wanted to support the inner capital, they had to fight with the 200,000 Zheng Guo army first.

Wu Wei was helpless at this time, and couldn't help but slam his fist on the table: "This Sima Xiao, is there water in your brain?" It's good to have come up with such a bad idea! Zheng Gu led 100,000 troops to besiege the inner capital, and then sent 200,000 troops to block the route of support, and there were no more than 50,000 people in his inner capital, see how many days he can defend! ”

Everyone also fell silent, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone didn't believe Sima Xiao and chose to retreat with the army, now they wouldn't have given Zheng Gu a chance to block the route to support Neidu.

At this time, Wu Wang suddenly said: "Big brother, there is a way!" Since Zheng Gu's army has all been dispatched, the garrison on the side of Liucheng must be empty, why don't we send the black iron cavalry to attack Liucheng, if they return to defense, then they can relieve the siege of the inner capital, if they don't care, we can take Liucheng and cut off their back road! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a good idea!" What a siege to save Zhao! ”

So Wu Wei immediately sent Hu Gen with 30,000 black iron horsemen, bypassing Zheng Guo's 200,000 army, and went straight to Liucheng.

On the side of the inner capital, Sima Xiao led more than 30,000 soldiers to fight bloodily, and had repelled several waves of Zheng Gu's attacks. Because Sima Xiao had already prepared here, he made many deployments for Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo lacked horses, so the main force was mainly infantry, so Sima Xiao ordered people to widen the moat to prevent Zheng Guo's soldiers from easily approaching the city wall.

So Zheng ordered his soldiers to attack the city without anyone carrying a bag of soil, and even if they couldn't attack, they would throw the soil into the moat, intending to fill the moat directly by the stupidest method.

Therefore, in the early stage of the battle, Zheng Guo's army had been pressed and beaten by Sima Xiao's side. The soldiers of Zheng State could only fill the river and could not create an effective means of attack on the inner capital.

But as time passed, after the third day of the battle, the moat to the south of Neiducheng had been basically filled. Zheng soldiers can push the ladder to attack the city.

This increased the difficulty of defending the city, and Sima Xiao's side also entered a tense situation.

Under the onslaught of Zheng Guo's soldiers, the casualties in the inner capital became heavier and heavier, and Wen Yan couldn't help but sweat. So he couldn't help but say to Sima Xiao: "Why don't we send someone out of the city to find Sima Xuegongzi and let him come to the rescue immediately, otherwise the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it will be to us!" ”

Sima Xiao took a deep breath: "Didn't Mr. say that this strategy is very risky, since I have decided to use this strategy, I have already prepared for the worst!" And I believe that Wuwei and they will not sit idly by, otherwise the inner capital will be lost, and the southern part of Huaiguo will fall into the hands of Zheng Guo! ”

After speaking, Sima Xiao immediately threw himself into the battle, vowing to live and die with the inner capital.

However, Zheng Gu's side gradually became happy, and after many difficulties at first, now his soldiers can finally attack the wall of the inner capital. Although it hasn't been completely defeated, if you continue to survive like this, sooner or later you will take the inner capital for yourself!

The more he thought about it, the more excited Zheng Gu became, and with a wave of his hand again, he divided his soldiers into two groups, one group to attack the city during the day and the other group to attack the city at night.

After such a high-intensity battle, the soldiers in the inner capital city were already exhausted. But the enemy was still attacking, and many soldiers did not even have time to go to the toilet.

Just when Sima Xiao thought that the inner capital city could not be defended, Zheng Gu's side finally stopped. There is no need to think that Sima Xiao can guess that it should be Wuwei's army that attacked Zheng Gu's lair, Liucheng, so they will temporarily retreat. It's just that Sima Xiao didn't know that Zheng Gu had reached a state of madness at this time.
