The big tent of the Shule coalition army, the general of the coalition army and Ting listened to the complaints of the leading general of the Shache country, and just wanted to get angry, but before he could speak, the leading general of the Pishan country said: "As far as your Shache country is damaged, our Pishan country's losses are not less than yours, the general, I checked yesterday, the enemy cavalry is not much, at most 10,000 horsemen, I think, you can send cavalry to pursue and annihilate them!" ”

He Ting was even more annoyed when he heard this, and said with an unkind face: "What is the system of noisy and noisy people, I have summoned you here today to understand the losses of various departments; The second is to discuss with the generals how to march into the army, if it is so noisy, it is better to go home early! ”

Seeing that He Ting was angry, the generals of all countries quieted down one by one, this time the coalition army, Shule sent the most troops, as many as 30,000 troops, of which 20,000 were well-trained veterans, and 10,000 new troops were young and strong who had just been recruited recently, and there were 5,000 new troops left in Shule to defend the city! The other countries are similar, except for the original veterans, all of them have recruited some young people!

Therefore, in this campaign, the generals of various countries did not believe that their side would lose at all, and the spit of a hundred thousand troops alone could drown Liu Bei's 30,000 troops!

The generals reported the losses of various countries one by one, and Ting Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart!

In the sneak attack of an hour last night, Liu Bei actually killed less than 20,000 soldiers, although half of the county is young and strong, but there should not be such a big loss! Simply enough, there was no loss of grain and grass materials, but the loss of so many soldiers this time was a great blow to morale!

After thinking about it, He Ting decided that the army would rest for three days, and all the soldiers would have meat for three days, and everyone would be fed, the main purpose of which was to improve morale.

At the same time, He Ting also understood that this attack on Khotan was afraid that it would be a vicious battle. So he actively sent a large number of scouts, and closed the door to thank customers, thinking about a strategy to break the enemy!

Three days later, the Shule coalition army started as scheduled, and Liu Bei did not sneak attack the Shule coalition army in these three days, mainly because Liu Bei did not find a chance! For three whole days, there was no hole in the defense of the Shule coalition battalion. And no matter day or night, the camp is full of all kinds of scouts!

And after thinking hard for three days, he finally found helplessly that if he wanted to defeat Xicheng this time, there were only two ways, first, to lure the enemy's main force out of the city for a decisive battle, but He Ting was not confident, and the enemy commander was not stupid. 2. Lead the army to surround the West City, and after the onslaught has no gain, you can only rely on the main West City, and when its food and grass are exhausted, you can win the victory. However, if you want to implement the second set of plans, you need to worry about your own food and grass. Therefore, before leaving, He Ting arranged 20,000 cavalry to guard his grain route when he convened the generals, and the grain and grass of the coalition army were transported from various countries to the Pishan camp in batches, and then from Pishan to the front line, so at this time, the coalition army only had half a month's worth of grain and grass!

Now that he had made up his mind, He Ting led the army to set off, and this time He Ting learned the previous lesson, and the entire marching team was compact and orderly. And He Ting also sent a large number of scouts to find the traces of Liu Bei's 10,000 cavalry, and the scouts had just come to report that Liu Bei's army had entered Xicheng at noon recently.

He Ting ordered the army to maintain formation, speed up the march, and strive to reach the outside of Xicheng before noon tomorrow and surround Xicheng!

…………………………………………………………

After Liu Bei attacked the Shule coalition army, he has been stationed not far from the Shule coalition army to observe the Shule coalition army, expecting to have a sneak attack, but it backfired, the commander of the coalition army was quite smart, and Liu Bei never had a chance to take advantage of it. After waiting for two days, Liu Bei led the army back to Xicheng, mainly to replenish grain and grass, and by the way to check how the preparations for defending the city were!

When Liu Bei led the army into Xicheng, Jia Xu hurriedly informed Liu Bei of the progress of the preparations for defending the city in the past few days, and all matters were well prepared, the most important thing is that Yan Liang had already led four thousand personal guards to set off before, and would arrive in Xicheng in three days!

Hearing this news, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and also informed Jia Xu of the sneak attack on the coalition army, Jia Xu was quite excited when he learned about it, and immediately said: "Lord, we are one step closer to a big victory!" ”

At this time, the pro-soldiers came to report that the Hundred Battles Army and the Black Flag Army had already replenished their food and grass!

At the same time, the scouts also came to tell him that the coalition forces had been drawn out of camp and were expected to arrive the next evening.

Hearing this, Liu Bei continued to lead the army out of the city, and became a horn with Xicheng, but Jia Xu suggested: "Lord, let the army rest in the city for a while, stay until the second half of the night, and then quietly go out of the city, so as not to let the enemy scouts find out, so that the enemy army can relax their vigilance!" ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard the reason, he ordered the troops to rest well.

That night, Liu Bei and his army quietly went out of the city, and set up camp in the woods fifty miles east of the city, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts!

………………………………………………………

At noon the next day, the coalition army marched quickly to the west city without any danger or danger! At the same time, he sent an envoy to the city to make an appointment with Liu Bei, but Jia Xu didn't even see the face of the envoy, and directly shot arrows.

After that, He Ting led the army to surround the surrounding cities and prepare to attack the west city!

The army of Heting arrived in Xicheng at noon, rested for an afternoon, and in the evening, began to attack Xicheng. He Ting adopted the strategy of encircling three and attacking one, that is, a small number of soldiers on three sides surrounded it, only to prevent the enemy from going out of the city to attack the camp, but not attacking the city. At the beginning, Jia Xu was besieging against the four-way army, so he suffered a small loss, and then adjusted the defending army and slowly recovered the decline.

This attack was a temptation on both sides, so the casualties on both sides were not large!

The next day, he used the same method, but attacked a different city wall, causing Jia Xu to suffer again. Because this kind of siege cannot be guarded against, it can only be adjusted according to the time when the enemy army is attacking the city! Also, with a few fierce generals stationed, the Heting army basically can't go up to the city wall!

It's just that since the beginning of the next day, He Ting has not stopped the onslaught, and Ting has not taken pity on the soldiers, a whole afternoon of strong attack, and Ting's coalition army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and Xicheng also suffered more than 4,000 casualties, this siege is the largest casualty since Liu Bei's army!

At night, He Ting did not plan to fight at night, arranged the night vigil army and a large number of scouts, and let the other soldiers rest, but asked the soldiers of each battalion not to leave their bodies and soldiers!

Of course, neither Jia Xu nor Liu Bei thought of attacking the camp of the coalition army, the commander of the first army, had just suffered a big loss in the night attack a few days ago, so he would not suffer a loss in this place again!

The next morning, the sky was still bright, and Ting began to storm the city wall again, this time and stormed the north city, and the number of troops and the proportion of veterans were much more than the previous day, a whole day, and Ting's coalition army lost 8,000 troops in a one-day attack, and the Erjia Xu army suffered more than 4,000 casualties here! In the two whole days, the casualties of the attack on Xicheng were less than 9,000! Although there is a young man among them, the young man is a minority! Among them, there are 7,000 veterans, and after this battle, there are only 8,000 veterans left in Xicheng, and 8,000 young and strong!

Jia Xu has a headache! In this case, Xicheng can't hold on for a few days, and Liu Bei outside the city has no other way for the time being!

In the evening, after the coalition army withdrew, Jia Xu sent an envoy to the coalition camp, wanting to truce the two sides for a day so as to collect the corpses above, otherwise he was afraid that the scorching sun would cause a plague, but he didn't expect that He Ting would directly send the envoy's head back!

Jia Xu knew that this calculation of delaying the army had failed! Tomorrow may still be a one-day onslaught!

At this time, Liu Bei also joined Wen Chou, and the total armies of the two sides reached 15,000 cavalry.

"In the past two days, the scouts have reported that the Shule coalition army is even fierce in attacking Xicheng! However, after two days of attack, the Shule coalition army left no less than 15,000 troops outside the city. According to some estimates, the damage in the city is also quite serious. We need to do something to relieve the pressure in the city! ”

"Xuande, I see that the coalition army has not entered the camp in the past few days, and I think that the grain and grass of the coalition army will definitely be transported out in these days, but we don't know where to transport it. Xuande can send scouts to find the food and grass of the coalition army, and then we will surprise the grain and grass of the coalition army, and then weaken the morale of the coalition army, which will definitely relieve the pressure in the city of the military division! ”

"That's a great deal."

After that, Liu Bei sent scouts to the direction of Pishan and Shache to find the enemy's grain and grass
