Chapter 237: Bloody Battle (5)
To be honest, Cao Liang still really admires Wang Ji, the enemy army is so powerful, if it were someone else, he would have been panicked for a long time, but he is calm, calm, and has no sense of fear, with five or six thousand men and horses, he can hardly shake nearly ten times the enemy army, and he really can't do it without a little fearless courage.
In fact, what Cao Liang didn't know was that Wang Ji was holding the belief of co-existence with the city to defend Anfeng City, and he didn't know how strong the enemy army was, but Wang Ji had no way out.
Although Wang Ji was born in a poor family, he was also familiar with the scriptures since he was a child, learned to be honest, and knew the etiquette, righteousness and moderation, the kind of greed for life and fear of death and surrender of the city, absolutely unavoidable, people are in the city, people are dead in the city, it is Wang Ji's belief that he adheres to.
With the support of this belief in seeing death as home, Wang Ji is naturally fearless, even if there are many enemies, he will stick to the city and never give up easily, but as long as there is a breath, he will definitely stick to the last moment.
The offensive of the Wu army has become more and more fierce, and the battle has entered a white-hot level.
Danyang soldiers are known as the world's sharpest, and they really live up to their name, and the siege war is also the most difficult kind of battle to fight.
But the Danyang soldiers are like a never-ending machine, the soldiers in front are killed, and the soldiers behind will immediately go up, and it seems to be a matter of course for them to follow each other, even if the corpses in front are piled up like mountains and rivers of blood, it will not have any impact on them.
This has a great relationship with the Shanyue people who have been in the harsh natural conditions for a long time, the Shanyue people have lived in the poor mountains for a long time, life is extremely difficult, life and death are often between the first line, not to mention irrelevant outsiders, even if they are close relatives, they may leave at any time, and they have seen more life and death, so that they are extremely indifferent to the death of the people around them, and they will not have any fear.
In their eyes, there is only a huge bounty that can change their fate, and in order to grab that bounty, they will not hesitate to pay the price of their lives.
Therefore, when charging, Danyang soldiers are always indomitable and fearless.
The most rudimentary siege equipment, the most primitive offensive weapons, the Danyang soldiers were burning their blood, launching one impact after another, using their flesh and blood to forcibly shake the strong city defense of Anfeng City.
Zhuge Ke stared at the battle ahead with an expressionless face, the large number of casualties of the Wu army did not make him frown, in fact, all he wanted was a result, as for the process, it didn't matter to him.
Even if there are many people who die, it doesn't matter much, as long as he can avenge his father and kill the enemy, he can bear any price.
The Wu army's tireless and rotational attack style of play did bring great pressure to the Anfeng defenders, such an intensity of war, they had never endured before, seeing that the sun was in the west, and the sky was getting late, but the Wu army's offensive did not show the slightest sign of stopping, and it was still extremely violent.
But the physical strength of the Wei army defenders was almost exhausted, and after such a day of bloody fighting, even the iron man would be exhausted.
There are many Wu soldiers, and they can take turns to attack, but there are few defenders, so they must go all out together.
After a whole day of fierce fighting, Wang Ji's face finally showed a look of exhaustion, but looking at the Wu soldiers who were killing endlessly, Wang Ji still didn't dare to slack off, and continued to grit his teeth and persist.
Cao Liang could see that Wang Ji was already at the end of the crossbow, not only Wang Ji, but also the county soldiers under him, who had indeed fought to the limit, and if they continued to fight, they would have to collapse.
At this moment, the offensive of the Wu army has not slowed down or stopped because the time has passed, and it is likely that the Wu army will continue to attack and fight at night.
Obviously, Zhuge Ke also knows the tenacity of the defenders, but no matter how tenacious the defenders are, he has to eat and sleep, the siege war is a protracted war, better than whose patience is better, stronger than whose will, there are many soldiers and horses in Wu, and they can be fought in rotation, Zhuge Ke does not believe that he cannot drag down the Wei army.
Cao Liang grabbed Wang Ji and said: "Wang Taishou, there is no way to fight like this, the Wu army is likely to fight at night, we must be prepared for night battles, and now is the time to transfer the southern army." ”
Wang Ji was silent, he was extremely clear about the current battle situation, maybe he could hold on to the Wei army defenders a little longer, but if the Wu army really fought at night, the defenders would not be able to survive this night no matter what.
If Wang Ji really wants to take the initiative to speak, then at least he must hold on to the point where he can no longer defend, maybe Wang Ji will be able to ask for the southern army to attack.
However, at this time, Cao Liang had already opened his mouth, Wang Ji didn't seem to have any reason to refuse, and if he continued to fight, the soldiers of Anfeng County were indeed unable to persevere.
With five or six thousand men to deal with ten times the enemy, the reason why Wang Ji held on was because of this drum and did not leak, but the commander of the Wu army seemed to have eaten through the plans of the defenders, and kept dragging down the Wei army with the strongest attack.
The Wei army must go all out to resist the enemy, Zhuge Ke, who has already fought An Feng once, is naturally very clear, how can he be willing to give the Wei army a chance to rest, since the strong attack can't be attacked, then fight a war of attrition to exhaust them.
Anyway, Zhuge Ke is waiting for the moment when the city is broken, the process, he doesn't care, what the fight is arranged by Lu Ju, all in all, what he wants is a result, he must see the enemy's head with his own eyes before he is willing to give up.
Seeing that Wang Ji was still hesitating, Cao Liang hurriedly said: "It is also difficult for the country to be appeased, so why does Wang Taishou need to divide each other, and how to keep Anfeng City is the most important thing." ”
Wang Ji finally nodded and said, "Okay, then Lao Cao will join the army." ”
Hearing Wang Ji's promise, Cao Liang was overjoyed, he also knew that the Zhengnan Army had been waiting under the city for a day, I am afraid that it was the real hundred claws scratching his heart, obviously the battle was happening around him, but they did not have the opportunity to participate, for these hot-blooded soldiers, it was indeed a relatively uncomfortable thing.
But the most important thing in the army is discipline, without the consent of the commander, it is impossible for any army to act without authorization, and Wang Ji as the supreme commander of the Anfeng guard, the supreme commander of the Anfeng garrison, he has the power to command, and the southern army as a reserve, all he can do is to wait for orders.
Cao Liang ordered Ren Lan to be notified immediately and led his army to the city to fight.
