The Wei army defending the city on the city of Wuyang was not easy compared to the Liang army besieging the city under the city. Although in siege warfare, the defending side is condescending and occupies a geographical advantage, the attacking side often has to pay several times the casualties; However, once the attacker climbs the city wall or breaks through the gates, the defender's soldiers will be the target of slaughter.

Therefore, the Wei army defending the city was not careless at all, and there was plenty of time to prepare for defending the city before, and in the face of the Liang army that was densely packed like ants towards the city, the Wei army soldiers defended the city to the death under the command of the military general entrusted by Taishou Wang Wei.

The Liang army relied on cloud ladders and bamboo ladders to climb up the city wall, and the Wei army responded with bows and crossbows, rolling stones, and rolling wood.

The Liang army fired arrows at the Wei army on the wells, and the Wei army threw oil cans at them and fired rockets, and soon thick smoke billowed and flames engulfed the wells, as well as the Liang soldiers above.

For the ladder car of the Liang army, the Wei army used the same means, pouring oil and igniting the fire......

And the rushing car that was about to hit the city gate was also not spared.

Although the soldiers of the Liang army were not afraid of death and wounded and attacked bravely, the Wei army also refused to give up an inch of land and strictly defended it.

Behind the Liang army, Chen Qingzhi, Wei Fang and others were also paying attention to this battle.

"Cao Zhongzong's tactics of frontal assault really don't mean anything except to increase casualties." There was intense anger in Wei Fang's tone.

"The key is to delay the fighter." Chen Qingzhi responded, "After wasting so many days, the Wei army must have made sufficient preparations to defend the city, and maybe the reinforcements have also made contact with the defenders of Voryang City, which will undoubtedly greatly strengthen their determination to defend the city." ”

"Cao Zhongzong is stubborn and self-serving, I don't think he can attack Vortex Yang, do you dare to be proud?" Wei Fang said indignantly.

"If we can't capture Vortex Yang, the reinforcements of the Wei army will come again, and our original advantage will be gone......" Chen Qingzhi looked up to the sky and sighed, his tone was full of melancholy, "Brother Yuan, get ready, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out easily this time......"

"Ziyun, what do you mean by that?" Wei Fang was a little surprised.

"Under this Vortex Yang City, there is destined to be a tragic bloody battle," Chen Qingzhi's eyes looked into the distance blankly, "I'm afraid the intensity of this battle will be far beyond our imagination......"

"I'll go back to the camp first," Chen Qingzhi withdrew his eyes and said to Wei Fang, "Cao Zhongzong can't attack Vortex Yang, and I can't bear to watch Daliang's children waste their lives here......"

In the evening, Cao Zhongzong finally collected his troops and returned to the camp.

In addition to adding more than 10,000 casualties, the Liang army found nothing, and even the siege equipment that Chen Qingzhi had built before was all depleted.

Cao Zhongzong was furious, and as soon as he returned to the big tent, he slammed his helmet on the ground, "Why did this Wei army of Vortex Yang suddenly become so tenacious? Didn't the Wei army before all collapse at the touch of a button? ”

His generals were all buried in their heads at the moment, looking at each other, and none of them answered.

Wei Fang sighed and said softly, "General Cao, Vortex Yang Jiancheng is already difficult to capture, how can it be taken after one or two attacks." ”

"Wei Fang, are you trying to make fun of Ben Shuai?" Cao Zhongzong squinted at Wei Fang, gritted his teeth and said.

When Wei Fang heard Cao Zhongzong's words, his anger also came up, so he no longer cared about his face, and said loudly, "Cao Zhongzong, I respect you as the boss, and I was kind and relieved, but you have the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman." If you don't listen to your advice, and you lose your soldiers, I really make fun of you, so what? ”

"Wei Fang! You are so arrogant, you have no military law, you contradict your boss, but you still have me as the boss in your eyes? Cao Zhongzong's face was flushed, and the green tendons on his neck jumped violently.

At this moment, those generals hurriedly began to persuade the two of them to become peacemakers. Under the persuasion of everyone, the two of them slowly calmed down.

At this time, Chen Qingzhi suddenly walked in quickly, and as he walked, he arched his hand and said to Cao Zhongzong, "General Cao, I just received news from the sentry and found the traces of the Wei army!" ”

The news that sooner or later would come did not seem to have come as much surprise to those present.

"Where is Wei Jun?" Cao Zhongzong picked up the shelf again and asked unhurriedly.

"It is reported that the Wei army has already set up camp in the camel stream, and the army behind will follow."

"Well, it's finally here, how many centaurs are there?" Cao Zhongzong continued to ask unhurriedly.

"The sentry said that there are about 10,000 people in the front, and the army behind is said to be in sight, and it is estimated that there are at least 100,000 people!"

"A hundred thousand?!" Hearing this number, Cao Zhongzong couldn't stay calm, he looked a little angry, and shouted loudly, "How is it possible? How could the Northern Wei Dynasty still have such military strength today? They are embattled in the east, west, north and south, how can they still organize troops of this size? ”

"There are still three catties of nails in the broken ship." Wei Fang said coldly on the side, "Not to mention the Northern Wei Dynasty, which has always had a strong military. Although they need troops everywhere now, if they really want to use their family funds to fight against my Daliang, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can still be drawn. ”

"Even if they have so many soldiers and horses, it is estimated that they are improvised, and no matter the morale or training, they will definitely be far inferior to my elite division of the Great Liang!" Said one of the generals.

"It's better not to make this kind of unfounded estimate." Chen Qingzhi retorted, "Before the official engagement, and even before we see the appearance of the Wei army with our own eyes, the strength of the other party should not be judged in vain. ”

"How far is the camel stream from the vortex sun?" Wei Fang asked.

"It's only forty miles, and it's really close at hand." Chen Qingzhi replied.

"Then we must be ready, tomorrow will definitely be the arrival of the two armies!" Wei Fang said as he looked at coach Cao Zhongzong.

"Ahh Cao Zhongzong suddenly came back to his senses under Wei Fang's gaze, "Get ready, get ready for battle!" ”

When those generals heard the words of the boss, they all looked at me, and I looked at you, staring at each other and at a loss. Wei Fang sighed, and said to Cao Zhongzong, "General Cao, how to prepare, as the commander-in-chief, you have to arrange it so that the generals can act according to the order." ”

"That'...... That...... That ......" Cao Zhongzong stammered for a long time, but did not make any substantive arrangements.

"General Cao, I have some suggestions." Seeing Cao Zhongzong's six gods without a master, Chen Qingzhi shook his head and said to him.

"Imperial Envoy Chen, say it quickly, say it quickly!" Cao Zhongzong couldn't wait to raise his hand.

"Even if the Wei army really has 100,000 people, our army is not inferior to the Wei army. The Wei army came from the direction of the camel stream, and we could have our back to the city of Wuyang, form a joint formation, and confront the Wei army, or we could cut off the connection between the Wei army inside and outside the city. ”

"Alright, alright, that's it!" Cao Zhongzong was like a life-saving straw.

"Don't storm Vortex City anymore, our first task now is to defeat the reinforcements; As long as the reinforcements are defeated, Dingwuyang will inevitably surrender without a fight. ”

"Okay, no more siege, okay!" Cao Zhongzong nodded vigorously.

"The Wei army has just arrived, and it is necessary to explore their reality and reality." Chen Qingzhi said with a serious expression, "Since their vanguard is camped in the camel stream, I think that we can attack this army at night!" ”
