"Jin Rebellion is coming up again!"

"Brothers, draw your knife. Melee! ”

The time came to the third day of the fourth month, and it had been ten days since Xicheng was fully attacked.

As time passed, the Jin soldiers attacked the city wall more and more often, and spent more and more time at the battlements. The Han soldiers had to pay more and more to push it back.

However, Luo Xian, who had been frowning all the time, had a more and more relaxed expression.

"Send 300 men from the reserves in the city to support the brothers at the Western Wall."

"No!"

"Send two hundred men from the north wall to support the east wall!"

"No!"

At this time, Luo Xian sat on a new high observation tower in the center of the city, and his vision included the four gates of the southeast, west, and northwest. He constantly deployed manpower according to the changes in the battlefield in a timely manner, and used the limited forces in the city to the extreme.

"General Wei, you have drawn people from the north wall again. If Xiao Wang is not mistaken, the defenders of the north wall at this time are less than five hundred. If it is the attack of the Jin rebellion on the north wall at this time......"

"Hehehe, don't worry, the attack on the north wall is just a feint. Five hundred people are enough. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because the enemy's forces are starting to run low."

Looking at the dazed King of Wei, Luo Xian smiled slightly: "King, this siege and defense of the city, although there are new trebuchets and new defensive fortresses. But to win, in the final analysis, it is up to the soldiers. That is, people, this point, does the king think so? ”

"Yes, yes."

"Xicheng attacked and defended, and when the Jin rebel attacked for the first time ten days ago, about 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the four gates attacked together. We have 7,000 defenders and 4,000 men to deal with. Therefore, although the attack was the most powerful, it was not difficult for our side to defend it. ”

"General Wei, please continue."

Later, the Jin rebel gave full play to the advantage of having more troops and let the troops attack the city in batches. Because of the large number of Jin rebel troops, even if the city is attacked in batches, our army guards the four gates, and we have to arrange most of the troops into battle. After a few days, our soldiers were exhausted, and they gradually felt tired of defending the walls. However, in any case, the siege of the city is often the side that suffers heavy casualties. Therefore, in the past ten days, although our army has successively lost more than 2,000 people, the people have also lost nearly half. But the number of soldiers who rebelled in Jin was killed and wounded was no less than 20,000. As a result, the remaining forces of the Jin Rebellion could no longer maintain the previous high-intensity attack of the four gates at the same time. ”

"Therefore, Jin rebels are attacking the city now, and they have no choice but to feint with a few sections of the city wall to contain some of our troops. Create an opportunity for the main attack on that section of the wall? ”

"The king sees thousands of miles. In fact, before coming to this Xicheng, the foreign minister still held up in front of my family's big Sima. For example, in a city like Xicheng, which is located on the plain and the four gates can be attacked at any time, it is not enough to defend it with 7,000 men. If the Jin rebellion has an army of 100,000 to attack the city this time, I am afraid that the foreign ministers can only defend it for five or six days at most. ”

"Uh...... General Wei, Xiao Wang, excuse me. How can you tell which is a feint and which is the main one? ”

"Hehehe, my lord, this is the magic of using soldiers. A lot of times it's a matter of intuition. This is a question that the ministers could not give the king a detailed answer. After waiting for the king, he experienced more wars, and continued to learn and summarize. Sooner or later, such a feeling will be cultivated. ”

The people in the city are getting more and more relaxed, but the mood of the people in the city is getting worse and worse.

"Your Majesty, as of today, the cumulative casualties of the entire army have exceeded 23,000. Most of the remaining soldiers also showed signs of illness. ”

"What?! Onset? ”

"Yes, King. The military medical officer said that spring has arrived, and the military uniforms of our soldiers are still winter clothes. Therefore, people in winter clothes often sweat profusely when they move. And without suitable spring clothes, it is easy to catch a cold after taking off winter clothes. Therefore......"

"Bastard! The Yang Huan who manages the arsenal doesn't want to live, right? Isn't he afraid that this king will return to Luoyang and destroy his three clans? ”

"Uh...... King. You really can't blame the arsenal for this. Spring clothes or something, the last general has already notified Luoyang two months ago to send the arsenal. But on the way, it happened that the ships in spring clothes were mostly burned by the thieves. The last general has already written Luoyang again, but the new spring clothes have not yet arrived. ”

"Hey~~~ Later, the king will write to His Majesty in person. Let Luoyang ship the seasonal clothes as soon as possible. In addition, the imperial court also had to send more medical officers and medicines. ”

"The king's compassion is the blessing of the soldiers."

"Don't talk about useless ones. Now in this battle situation, although the king does not know the soldiers, he can see it. Although the traitors are already at the end of their crossbows, our army has gradually felt powerless. ”

"Exactly, my lord. Our army paid such a price and finally forced the rebels to the end. At this time, it depends on who will not be able to hold it first. Therefore, the last general suggested that the king should write a letter to the imperial court and ask for reinforcements! Not too much, as long as there are 20,000 more reinforcements, Xicheng will be broken! ”

“…… The country now has only 200,000 standing troops. Do you have to invest 80,000 people to fight Xicheng? Anyway, if you don't increase the troops, all the previous efforts will be in vain. Come on, pen and ink are waiting, this king will write now. ”

"Report ~~~ King! Generals! Forward march Cao urgent! ”

"What?"

"The Shu thieves have sent troops from Hanzhong. On March 29, about 2,000 Shu thieves marched east from the Golden City. Looking at its banner, it is the pseudo-car cavalry general Zhang Yi! ”

"Is it finally here? Well? March 29th? But now it's the third day of April! ”

"The king forgives the sin, the mountain road is rugged, and the scouts of the Shu thieves and Si Wencao are intercepting us, so this news is sent slowly."

Sima Jun waved his hand irritably, asked the scout to retreat, and then said to everyone: "The war has reached such a critical moment, and the Shu thieves are really coming to intervene. Ladies and gentlemen, what can I do? ”

After everyone under his command looked at each other, Liu Hong arched his hand and said: "King, this thief chief Zhang Yi, the last general will watch his use of troops, he has always been more cautious, and the opportunity is insufficient. Therefore, I think that the enemy army is at least two or three days away from our camp. But it was precisely because he was such a cautious general leading the troops that the last general thought that this time the reinforcements of the Shu thieves would not be only 2,000 people. ”

"Then Uncle He thinks that how many soldiers and horses does the Shu thief have this time?"

This one? How do I know?

But he won't need to dwell on this question soon. Because at this time, the southwest and northwest sides of the Jin army camp sounded the copper cymbals at the same time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for battle! ”

Hearing such a voice, everyone who was discussing in the big tent of the Chinese army quickly walked out of the tent. Looking into the distance, I saw the basin where the army was stationed, and on the mountains near its edge, flags were waving, and people were looking forward to it. Even if the enemy is bluffing, but to make such a big battle, in any case, the number of enemy troops is at least 10,000 or more!

Not only that, the banner raised by the enemy on the mountain was not the chariot general Zhang at all, but the Han general Jiang!

"It's actually Jiang Boyu who is here! It's actually Jiang Boyu who is close to ......"

Now that the Jin army has been attacked, its situation is very bad. The reason is that the Jin army has been under Xicheng for too long. For more than three months, the only direction of attack of the Jin army here was Xicheng. Therefore, the defense of the Jin army camp has always been tight inside and loose outside: the arrow towers on the side of the west city are dense, and the walls are simply reinforced with rammed earth. On the other side, facing the direction of the mountains behind the basin, there is only a simple wooden fence, and there is no antlers to resist horses or anything.

And because the Jin army stationed here has always taken the initiative to attack in the past few months, except for Luo Xian who once brought people out to attack the camp, there was no attack in other directions. With the recent shortage of troops, the commanders of the Jin army concentrated almost all their troops in the Qianzhai adjacent to Xicheng. And the back village is almost all with the military and civilian husbands and baggage.

"How is that possible? How so? Then how could Jiang Boyao lead so many people to get so close to our camp so silently?! ”

That being said, in fact, Jiang Wei's current situation is also very bad: in order to hide his whereabouts from the spies of Jin Cao Cao. The Han army was divided into dozens of squads and advanced separately, and the detachments that arrived early had already eaten up the food they carried, and the food bags of the follow-up troops had dried up. In order to catch up with the speed, the last 2,000 men even abandoned all their baggage and light equipment, and arrived here after five days of rapid marching, and the whole army had no food for a day!

Not only that, but the establishment of the Han army was completely chaotic at this time. At this time, although everyone rushed down from the mountain, the momentum looked amazing. But as long as the Jin army's rear village can withstand it for an hour or two, he will not be disrupted by the Han army. So organized and unorganized, victory or defeat is actually a very simple matter.

The light army raided to disrupt and risk the annihilation of the entire army in order to win. This kind of battle is really Jiang Wei's usual style.

"Don't mess with the whole army! There aren't too many thieves! ”

"All the personnel in the back village withdrew from the edge of the camp to the Chinese army, and the Chinese soldiers organized and formed a formation on the spot!"

"The first to eighth colonels of the former army are turned back!"

Although Sima Jun was already as pale as earth at this time, he didn't know why. But the other officers of the Jin army reacted quickly.

Unfortunately, the response was swift and the instructions were correct. But the problem is execution.

At this time, in the Jin army, the Jingzhou army, the Yangzhou army, and the Luoyang Chinese army did not run in with each other for too long. Especially in the Luoyang Chinese Army, there are too many recruits from all over the country, resulting in many times the language in the team is not the same (in the past, when the Luoyang Chinese Army was inherited in an orderly manner, the veterans who could speak Luoyang official dialect accounted for the vast majority, and a few recruits only needed to follow the veterans). With such a team, it is no problem to surround the enemy city at first, and then slowly organize it before acting. But now?

Soon, the army under Jiang Wei was chaotic, and had broken through the back village and advanced towards the Chinese army. At this time, a large number of people and some recruits in the back village of the Jin army were in a chaotic attack.

"Bastard! Let them enter the Chinese army from both sides of the camp, come on, give orders! Those who dare to collide with the array of our Chinese army, whether they are friends or enemies, will be shot and killed! ”

However, before the herald here could answer, there were noisy shouts from the other direction of the Jin army's camp.

Luo Xian, who had been besieged for several months, actually led the army to rush out at the first time!
