As Wu Yi expected, the second group of Wei troops soon arrived and launched an attack before they could gain a firm foothold, not giving themselves a chance to breathe, nor giving the Shu army a chance to breathe, and launched an attack completely in the posture of an outlaw.

Another fierce sound of war drums sounded, and the morale of the defenders of Fancheng was once again greatly boosted, and although Fancheng was crumbling, it was still in the hands of the Wei army.

Meng Da was a little angry, and attacked for two days in a row, and the casualties of his subordinates alone were close to 3,000. Fortunately, so far, Wu Yi's position is still impregnable, without any signs of wavering, and he is not in danger of being flanked.

Meng Da somewhat experienced Guan Yu's embarrassment at this time. The city is right in front of you, and it seems that you can take it with one more breath, but if you exert all your strength, you are always a little bit close, and you just can't succeed.

Success is just a stone's throw away, but it seems like the end of the world, what a painful scene. However, I am much luckier than Guan Yu, I now have Wu Yi's 10,000 army behind me, I don't have to worry about someone copying my back, and I won't end up in the tragic situation of Guan Yu's defeat.

Thinking of Guan Yu, Meng Da was a little ashamed, if he hadn't had an awkward relationship with Liu Feng at that time, but sent troops from Fangling to help Guan Yu, maybe Fancheng would have been taken, and there would have been no later incidents.

The past is unbearable, and it is useless to think about it, so let's focus on the present, take Fancheng, establish meritorious achievements, and consolidate our foundation.

Meng Da sighed secretly and ordered the attack again. Meanwhile. He sent someone to ask Wu Yi how much time he had left. Wu Yi waved his hand very easily: "Let Mencius rest assured, as soon as Sima Yi's army arrives, I can also protect his back." If Sima Yi wants to kill him, he must step on my Wu Yi's corpse and rush over.

Hearing the return, Meng Daxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Yi said it easily, but in fact, his heart was not easy at all. In just half a day, Sima Yi's army reached more than half of it, almost every half an hour. Two or three thousand people will arrive. Plunged into battle as soon as they arrived. With the arrival of Sima Yi himself, the morale of the Wei army reached a climax, and the 20,000 Wei troops launched a tidal wave of attacks, one wave after another. kept hitting the positions of the Shu army.

Even though there are well-prepared positions. Even with the help of strong ordnance. However, in the face of the desperate attack of the Wei army, which was twice as large as it was, Wu Yi was still under tremendous pressure. At this time, I saw Wu Yi's intention to arrange the task, and he was the main general. But he handed over the task of attacking the city to Meng Da, and he took on the task of blocking reinforcements. At that time, many of his subordinates didn't understand, including Wei Ba, who couldn't figure it out, but now, all this is obvious.

If it was Meng Da who was blocking the aid, when the casualties reached half, would Meng Da still hold on? Definitely not, he would not hesitate to retreat. Being able to notify your comrades before retreating is already the end of benevolence. It is simply impossible for him to fight all the men and horses, just to block the reinforcements and fight for others to break through Fancheng.

But Wu Yineng. What he wants is meritorious service, and he doesn't care about casualties. The horses he led were not his private soldiers, but the soldiers of the imperial court. As long as he has merit, even if he folds all these more than 10,000 people here, he can still be promoted to the rank of knight.

Only he can not talk about casualties and fight Sima Yi to the end. If Meng Da had been replaced, he would have fled a long time ago.

The sky gradually darkened, and piles of bonfires lit on the battlefield five miles apart, and the two sides invariably chose to continue fighting. One will not give up until Fancheng is captured, and the other will not withdraw troops if he does not solve the siege of Fancheng. Both sides gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength to strive for Zuihou's victory.

The warriors are still fighting.

The Wei army marched thirty miles in half a day, and then immediately went into battle, they were already extremely tired, and they were only fighting with one breath. The Shu army was physically better than the Wei army, but they faced an enemy three times their size, and after a hard day, they were equally exhausted. The battlefield has been full of blood, the corpses are in disarray, the soil under the feet is soaked with blood, one foot down, squeaking, the wet mud is like the hands of the soul, dragging the soles of each soldier's feet, it takes more effort to move the body.

For the already exhausted fighters, this is undoubtedly another test, a double test of psychology and physiology.

With a roar, many of the thunderbolts could not support such a dense attack, and finally they were overwhelmed and became a pile of tattered wood. Many of the ballistas lost their original vigor and began to jam constantly, and the craftsmen of the baggage battalion were so busy sweating that they still couldn't recover.

The loss of ordnance further weakened the advantage of the Shu army, and the situation of the Shu army became more difficult, and the Wei army began to push the front forward step by step, and it was getting closer and closer to Wu Yi's command platform. However, the Shu army did not give up, and they continued to launch counterattacks, hoping to drive the Wei army out. Every time the Wei army took a step forward, it had to pay a heavy price.

After a fight, his arms were already sore, his legs were numb, his voice was hoarse, and the shouting was no longer so intense, but a little more miserable. The drums of war still sounded, like the remnants of a hollow valley, and like a wandering ghost, echoing over the battlefield.

"Set all the damaged ordnance on fire and throw it in front of the battle." Wu Yi's face was pale, but it was still cold, like a piece of ice that would not melt for thousands of years. There was no panic in his eyes, only determination, no intention to retreat, only the determination to fight to the end.

This battle, so far, he can be said to have completed half of the task. For most of the day, Sima Yi lost at least tens of thousands of soldiers here, and the strength of the Jingxiang War Zone was greatly damaged, and the next battle situation was very favorable to Shu Han.

However, this does not mean that Wu Yi is very relaxed, on the contrary, he is very nervous now.

Wei Ba was also very nervous.

Sima Yi's abnormal behavior made them smell danger.

When the two armies fought each other, there was never a situation in which they did not leave a trail behind. As a last resort, the first general will keep a man in his hand, ready to go into battle if necessary to win in one fell swoop, or when the main force withdraws from the battlefield, to prevent being pursued by the enemy. Today, Sima Yi went all out, leaving no reserves, his personal guard battalion was the first to enter the battle, and the losses were the greatest, fighting hard for half a day, almost lost everything, and he was unable to fight again. The rest of the troops also went into battle as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, without exception.

What does this mean? Sima Yi doesn't know the art of war? Apparently impossible. Whether it is Wu Yi or Wei Ba, they will not make such a simple judgment. The situation is tense, Sima Yi can only go all out? This can't be explained, even if Fancheng is lost, it doesn't mean that the dust on the Jingxiang battlefield has settled, and Sima Yi doesn't have to be so nervous.

Then there is only one other possibility, Sima Yi still has a hidden hand, or rather, he still has Liliang who can act as a backhand and is about to rush to the battlefield.

What could it be?

Wei Ba and Wu Yi invariably thought of the Wei army's iron cavalry. As far as the information received so far is concerned, there are no other Wei troops within thirty miles, and even if other main Wei forces are coming, they cannot act as Sima Yi's followers. The only one who can take on this important task is the iron cavalry of the Wei army.

The iron cavalry has strong combat power and sufficient speed, and thirty miles is just a matter of hours. Once they are launched, they have very limited time left for scouts, and they can play the role of surprise soldiers and decide the victory or defeat in one fell swoop.

So far, this has been just a conjecture, but as the battle progresses, it is more and more likely to become a reality. Wu Yi had to guard against it, if there was really an iron cavalry, he didn't have time to react at all, this attack on Fancheng was bound to be a fiasco, and the 20,000 troops who had fought hard for two days were likely to be wiped out.

Wu Yi decided to shrink the defensive line and prepare to retreat. As long as they can retreat to the naval division's warship in time, the Wei army's iron cavalry will not be able to take them when they come.

But Wei Ba didn't agree to do so. Now that the two sides are in a stalemate, they are holding on to each other, and any move may cause the entire morale to be shaken and the situation on the battlefield may be changed. After all, the Wei army's iron cavalry was just guessing, it was already dark, and even if they arrived, it would be difficult for them to attack like during the day, and the most likely thing was to rest for the night and attack tomorrow morning. There is still time for their side, and with this night, they still have a chance to take Fancheng and win the game before the Iron Cavalry arrives.

Wu Yi was also a little hesitant, how could he be willing to give up this opportunity, but as the commander of the first army, he had to be prepared for potential dangers.

"General, don't forget, Sima Yi may have a backhand, and we also have a backhand." Wei Ba comforted: "My brother is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Ma is resourceful in joining the army, in case the Wei army iron horse appears, they will not sit idly by." Since they haven't dispatched yet, it means that we are safe for the time being. ”

"Then what do you think Sima Yi is doing? He's cheating? ”

"It can't be said that there is no such possibility." Although Wei Ba didn't know the bottom in his heart, he still said with certainty: "I can hear from Xiahou Xuan's words that Sima Yi had fought in Dunsai before, and there was a possibility of asking Cao Rui for military power. If Cao Rui really gave him the military power, he had enough advantages, and weishenme was in such a hurry to attack? It doesn't take much, 10,000 iron horses in hand, and he can make us tired and stumbling. He is attacking now, which just shows that he has no iron cavalry in his hands. ”

Wu Yi was silent.

Seeing Wu Yi's hesitation, Wei Ba further packed the ticket: "Even if he has it, I think the six thousand people of my brother and Ma join the army can block it for a while, and there won't even be time for buffering." When we receive the news, it's not too late for us to retreat, Sima Yi can't stop us. ”

Wu Yi's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a long time: "Ziyu, you are gambling." If we lose, we don't have a chance to turn around. ”

"So does the general gamble or not?" Wei Ba said with a smile.

Wu Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "You dare to bet, how can I retreat." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
