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 now less than 20,000 arrows left, and all the rolling stones and sassalwoods that were prepared had been used up. Therefore, if you say that the battle of tomorrow will inevitably become a fierce battle for the city wall. In the three days of Wenpin, he squandered all the funds for defending the city, although it regained 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 he can withstand a bloody baptism tomorrow, then he can strike a fatal blow when the enemy is at its 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 number of troops, even if there was a gap in morale, the steep terrain and city walls were enough to make up for these gaps, and Wen Ping had ten layers of certainty. Able to repel incoming enemy forces.

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 to spend three days with the Wu army, and on the fourth day, the Wu army will be exhausted if the city is not attacked, and when it collects the army, Pang De, who has been in ambush for a long time, will be killed from the flank, and then 1,000 Xiliang iron cavalry and 2,000 Nanyang knights will suddenly enter the tired Wu army array, what kind of scene will it be?

Lu Xun's reputation is not obvious, and he congenitally makes Wenpin have a heart to underestimate. Although Lu Xun's performance in marching and attacking the city was very good, he reluctantly raised the weight of the other party, but after all, it was only raised, Wen Ping never thought that Lu Xun and Lu Meng could be put on an equal footing, and Wen Zhongye, who could fight with Lu Meng, was afraid that a scholar would not succeed.

In fact, it's no wonder that Wenpin thinks so. Today's Wu Army, the chief and deputy governors of Jingzhou, one Lu Xun and one 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. There are 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 Wu army was against this old opponent of the Liu Biao era. It can be said that it is very light.

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.

After three days of profligacy, Lu Xun's eyes were bright. The subtleties are all in his eyes, and he seems to have jumped into the puzzle laid by Wen Pingbu, thinking that the enemy army has messed up with his own proportions, and the military spirit is gradually lost, and he has no will to fight.

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 materials for defending the city in Xinye City were indeed scarce, and tomorrow was destined to be a tragic battle of the city wall, which made Lu Xunyue feel that victory was already close.

, Lu Xun knew that tomorrow's battle was the most important prelude to the siege, so he naturally didn't 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 Cao was, and Ling Cao's subordinates were three thousand horsemen and idle knights.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

In the past three days, Wen Ping has indeed spent extravagantly, almost exhausted the materials for defending the city, and after the captain of the guard who checked the military quartermaster counted the inventory, he reported that the city could be used for defense, but it was only 30,000 arrows, and the rolling stone and sasswood were long gone.

In other words, the bows and arrows thrown at the 3,000 archers in today's battle were divided among the three columns of archers, and there were only 30 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 in the past few days, he has covered the entire city with a rain of arrows, so that his own casualties are 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 have a delusional hope that he would be able to maintain the current morale, but he just intended to save it in three days, and he could squander it on 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 offensive is already tomorrow.

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 I learned that the battle for the city wall had become increasingly fierce in the past three days, my belligerent heart became more and more unbearable.

Pound was restless every day and couldn't sleep at night. I was looking forward to Wenpin 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.

And today, 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 tomorrow, it will be 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......)
