Originally, there were only more than 200,000 arrows stored in Xinye City, and with the continuous consumption in the past three days, there were only less than 20,000 arrows left, and all the rolling stones and sasswoods that had been prepared had been used up. Therefore, it is said that the first battle will inevitably become a fierce battle for the city wall. In the third day of Wenpin, he squandered all the funds for defending the city, although it recalled a lot of morale, but the price was too huge.

The morale that was restored by relying on the city walls and sporadic casualties is actually only a fragile appearance, and the low morale and fighting spirit will rebound even more violently once there are large-scale casualties. Compared with the morale of the other party, the scars left by the fiasco of the Southern Expedition have not healed after all.

But this is also a helpless thing, who called Wen Ping's subordinates are all Jingzhou Nanyang soldiers, first beaten by Guan Yu, and then ran to beat Sun Ce, within six or seven years, this Cao Wei Jingzhou army has never won a battle, it is strange that there is morale.

However, what Wen Ping asked for was just a smokescreen to confuse Lu Xun after all, and he even did not hesitate to use huge sacrifices to paralyze Lu Xun's caution.

In fact, from the time Lu Xun came out of Xiangyang to the east, that caution was enough to make Wen Ping pay attention to it, and he planned this scam early. As long as Ming Yue can withstand a bloody baptism, then he can strike a fatal blow when the enemy is the most relaxed!

Speaking of commanding the army, Wen Ping is one of the strongest generals in this era, so he also has his arrogance, since he can't defeat Sun Ce, he has to use another method to defeat the Wu army under Lu Xun......

If he only relied on the Xinye City Wall to defend, with his talent and the same strength, even if there was a gap in morale, the steep terrain and city walls could make up for these gaps, and Wen Ping had ten layers of certainty that he would be able to repel the attacking enemy army.

However, his gaze was not just to repel it, but intended to bite the opponent's 50,000 soldiers and horses, so Wen Ping threw out such a gamble. Pound was transferred out of the city and waited in ambush for nearly half a month, just to fulfill his shameful opportunity.

Wen Ping's plan is to use all the resources of the 10,000 Wei army and Xinye and the Wu army to spend three days, and when the fourth Wu army does not attack the city, it will be exhausted, and when it collects its troops, Pang De, who has been in ambush for a long time, will be killed from the flank, and then a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry and two thousand Nanyang knights suddenly enter the exhausted Wu army array, what kind of scene will it be?

Lu Xun's reputation is not obvious, and he congenitally makes Wen Ping have a heart to look down on, although because Lu Xun's performance in marching and attacking the city is very good, so that he can barely raise the weight of the other party's land, but after all, it is only raised, Wen Ping never thinks that Lu Xun and Lu Meng can be put on an equal footing, and Wen Zhongye, who can fight with Lu Meng, is still afraid that a scholar will not succeed.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wen Ping thinks so, today's Wu Jun Jingzhou is the chief and deputy governor of Jingzhou, Lu Xun is a Zhu Ran, Lu Xun has been stationed in Hanyang for ten years in Jingzhou, and rarely has the opportunity to fight with the Wei army. The few records are only a tie with Guan Yu in Zhijiang and a sneak attack on Xinye, just a few. And Zhu Ran's battle to defend Xiangyang made him famous, but as for his defensive reputation, Zhu Ran came to Jingzhou for a shorter time than Lu Xun, and Wei Jun didn't know anything about him at all.

In the same way, in the past, Cao Pi's three-way army marched south, and all the famous generals of Cao Wei were defeated, and the generals of the Wu army looked down on this old opponent of the Liu Biao era.

The mutual temptation and suspicion of the two parties is a coincidence that makes the evaluation of each other unfair by the two at the same time. It can be said that both sides underestimated their opponents, especially the self-confident Wenpin.

The profligacy of the three days, Lu Xun's eyes were bright, and the subtleties were all in his eyes, and he seemed to have jumped into the puzzle under Wen Pingbu, thinking that the enemy army had messed up with his own proportions, and the military spirit was gradually lost, and he had no intention of fighting.

I have to say that at this time, the two armies are facing each other, and the measurement of military morale is indeed a top priority. Since ancient times, there has been a strong spirit, and then decline, and the principle of exhausting the three times, defeating the strong with the weak, whether it is with the help of terrain, or cutting off the enemy's food routes, and so on, in the final analysis, it is to hit the opponent's combat morale.

Therefore, Lu Xun's understanding is not wrong to even use the morale of the two armies as a bargaining chip. His inference was not wrong, the fortification materials in Xinye City had indeed been scarce, and it was destined to be a tragic battle of attack and defense of the city wall, which made Lu Xunyue feel that victory was closer.

, Lu Xun knew that the first battle of Ming was the most important prelude to the siege, so he naturally did not dare to slack off. In such cases, the same caution is exercised. After successively issuing military orders to carefully guard against the enemy's sneak attack, the army was allowed to recuperate. At the same time, he rode a fast horse and drove out of the Wu military camp and headed towards the military camp where the veteran Ling Ying was, and Ling Ying's subordinates were three thousand horse idle knights?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

After checking the inventory, the captain of the guard, who checked the military quartermasters, counted the inventory, and said that the city could be used for defense, but it was only 30,000 arrows, and the rolling stone and wood were long gone.

In other words, the bows and arrows thrown at the three thousand archers in the first battle were divided among the three columns of archers, and there were only thirty salvos. Under normal circumstances, the archer's shooting should consider the defender's ability to swing on the spot, and use the minimum consumption to pinch the timing and give the opponent the maximum damage. Obviously, Wen Ping didn't have such an idea at all, and he had to cover the entire city with a rain of arrows in a few days, so that his own casualties could be weak.

However, if the opponent's shield hand comes forward, the lethality will inevitably be greatly reduced, not to mention, the opponent's enemy commander clearly intends to consume Xinye's reserves.

And now that it is wartime, it is obvious that the enemy army will not give the city time to deploy again, even if it can dismantle the houses in the city and take wood and stones, if Lu Xun sees the clues, it will inevitably ignite the war in advance. And since Lu Xun set fire to Xinye, Xinye City has become a purely military fortress, there are no people living in it at all, and how many houses in the city can be demolished!

However, Wen Ping did not think that he could continue to maintain the current morale, but he just intended to save it with three days, and he could squander it in this day. As long as he can keep this day and let Lu Xun unconsciously fall into the psychological puzzle he has laid, it is enough.

After all, Wenpin's killer feature is not not in the city, but outside the city!

In the middle of the night, Wen Ping's expression was solemn, and he asked his cronies and guards to sneak out of the city overnight and take them to the ambush place of Pang Dedi. At the same time, he also sent his newly appointed general Deng Ai to Pang De's army staff officer, this Deng Ai is a native of Xinye, familiar with the terrain and quick mind, I believe that it can be of great help to Pang De. The time for the general attack is already in the morning.

Compared with the psychological pressure of the defenders in the city in the face of a strong enemy, which has been well dredged by Wen Ping, the three thousand volts outside the city are under the leadership of Pang Dedi. Hidden, recuperating, and these 3,000 cavalry Zhongxi Liang Iron Cavalry never knew what to be afraid of, and the Nanyang knights did not participate in the southern expedition, they had no psychological pressure in the face of the Wu army, and some were just majestic fighting spirit and determination to make meritorious contributions at a moment.

It's just that the land has been hidden for nearly half a month, but it has really made these guys who have enough strength to do a big job more and more unable to hold their breath. Especially when he learned that the battle for the city wall was becoming fiercer in the third day, the belligerent heart became more and more impatient.

Pound was restless every day and couldn't sleep at night. I was looking forward to Wen Ping being able to send a signal from the city as soon as possible so that he could kill a big fight, but there was no movement for a long time.

Now, after all, the messenger in the city smuggled the signal to the contact point, which made Pound's blood surge.

"When the Wu army retreats, it is the opportunity for our army to attack?" In the darkness of the night, Pound held the letter in one hand and read it softly in the white moonlight.

Deng Ai was dressed in brand-new armor, revealing an unusual temperament. "Yes?? Be!! Checkmate! ”

"Do you stutter?" Pound looked up, his dark face full of surprise. In his mind, he was sent by Wenpin to join the army, how could he be a talented and agile person, but he had never heard of a talented and agile stutter.

Deng Ai lowered his head in shame when he heard this. "Yes!!"

"Remember! Never bow your head, this is the law of our Xiliang people, even if you die in battle, you will not bow your head! When Pang De saw Deng Ai bowing his head, he helped him up: "Say how we will fight tomorrow!?" (To be continued.) )
