Chapter 091: Static braking
The Wei army camp, the Chinese military tent.
Sima Yi sat behind the desk and looked at the official document in his hand unhurriedly. His eldest son, Sima Shi, held the sword and stood aside, silent, but the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and he glanced at Sima Yi from time to time.
He was worried about what he had just seen. Since the word "Han" appeared bizarrely in the night sky, he clearly felt the strange atmosphere in the camp, and countless soldiers craned their necks and looked at the word, their eyes full of horror. However, there was a burst of cheers at the head of Fangling City, like a strong wind and a huge wave, which made the atmosphere in the camp even more depressing, and the morale that had gradually declined in the past few days plummeted.
Wen County Sima's family tradition of Confucianism, he doesn't believe too much in these strange things about gods and ghosts, but he doesn't believe it, it doesn't mean that others don't believe it. The army commander drove straight into more than a thousand miles, what he wanted was to make a big move, and now he was attacking the city for more than ten days, and when he was about to see the success, the army of Shu Han came to help, which was really not good news for them.
Once again, he turned his hopeful gaze to his father. He could guess his father's frustration at the moment, but he hoped that his father would stand up and say something, even if it might not be useful.
"Ziyuan, have something to say?" Sima Yi gently closed the official document, twisted his neck slightly, raised his hand and pinched his brows, and asked lightly.
"Yes, father, there is some panic in the camp now, is my father ......"
Sima Yi interrupted Sima Shi's words: "What are you panicking about, just because of what reinforcements?" ”
Sima Shi nodded heavily: "Yes, many people say that the Shu army has arrived, we are suffering from the enemy on our backs, there is a strong city in front of us, and there is a strong enemy in the back, it is not suitable to fight for a long time, we should ......"
"Should we immediately shrink our forces and set up camp for a long-term plan?"
Sima Shi stopped talking. Since my father already knew everything, there was no point in talking about it.
"What a man with a mouse's eye." Sima Yi put down his hand, tilted his head, and looked at Sima Shi: "Ziyuan, what is your own opinion?" ”
Sima Shi thought for a while: "Father, these people came over Zhushan, they must be a strange army, and the number will not be too many. We can completely repel them. ”
"Since there won't be too many people, why bother?" Sima Yi stood up and slowly paced in the tent with his hands behind his back. "They came all the way to help, but they only released news on the mountaintops, not to raid our army. Their intentions are very clear, they just want to give Meng Da courage, but it is impossible for them to take the initiative to attack our army. So our enemies are still Meng Da in the city, not those who dare not show their faces. ”
"But if they are there, Meng Da will think that reinforcements are coming, which is not good for our morale."
"Meng Da is already a fish swimming at the bottom of the kettle, and there is only Zuihou left." Sima Yi waved his sleeves and dismissed: "Seeing the reinforcements coming, his morale may be a little boosted, but this is not much different from the return of light before death." Our army is coming from a long distance, and there is a shortage of food and grass, so we can only fight a quick battle, and every day of delay will be one more day of danger. At this time, dividing our troops to attack those people is meaningless except for wasting time and energy, we should gather all Liliang and completely eliminate Meng Da. ”
He raised his head, looked through the tent door, looked at Fangling City in the distance, and sighed softly. "The only thing I'm worried about is that as soon as these people come, those people in the city who are already excited will change their minds again, hesitate and refuse to attack Meng Da. It would be very disadvantageous for our army to forcibly attack the city. They...... It's really not a good time, I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to have such a general. Ziyuan, who do you think it will be? ”
Sima Shi shook his head: "I can't guess." As far as I know, there are only a few generals in the Shu army who are brave and familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong, but with their identity and status, they should not be Zhuge Qiao's subordinates. And those who are willing to serve Zhuge Qiao as the main general, there seems to be no real talent and hard work. ”
"Yes, that's what worries me the most." Sima Yi slowly retracted his gaze: "The world is divided into three parts, it is a foregone conclusion." I estimate that in less than 20 years, it will be difficult for the world to restore unification, and it is not only national strength but also talent that will determine the outcome in the future. Not only the current talents, but also the future talents. Shu Han has a talent, and the threat to our Great Wei is a big point. ”
Sima Shi was silent.
……
In Fangling City, it is a different scene. Meng Da saw that miraculous ball of light, he was inexplicably excited, and immediately ordered to inform the whole city that reinforcements were coming. In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he also swore that this was an appointment between him and Zhuge Cheng, and that he came to help a main force, which was the best at mountain warfare, and the leader of the troops was Wei Yan, the most famous general in the Han Dynasty.
This was originally just Meng Da's nonsense, but he didn't expect that soon he found that the light cluster in the sky had turned in a different direction, and the word "Wei" was revealed, which made Meng Da startled, and he was secretly happy. Although he didn't believe that Wei Yan would really come to save him, he hoped that the soldiers under him would believe this statement. After all, Wei Yan is a rare heavy general in the Shu Han army, and if he comes to the rescue in person, it will definitely be the main force.
Although Meng Da didn't want this to become a reality at all, at this moment, he first had to calm people's hearts and ensure that Fangling was not broken by Sima Yi, so that all considerations would have practical significance.
Without any hesitation, Meng Da immediately summoned the generals and told them the good news that "Wei Yan" had come to help, and asked them to hurry up and reorganize their defenses. He said excitedly: "Sima Yi doesn't know the military plane, the light army is deep, and now he has been fighting for many days, and he can't help it." The grain and grass are approaching, and the reinforcements are coming, can he still conquer my Fangling? ”
He strode with his head held high, and his recent depression was swept away. He waved his hand vigorously: "I dare to assert that in less than three or five days, Sima Yi will definitely retreat in embarrassment." You must not only seize the time to strengthen the city defenses, but also prepare Liliang for counterattack. Sima Yi is menacing, and he has been pressing us for so long, can't we get one or two back? ”
General Li Fu stood up and said loudly: "The general is right. If we don't come and be rude, we have to give Sima Yi some benefits and disadvantages, let him know that our Dongzhou soldiers are not vegetarians, and let Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun take a look, lest he underestimate us and have any evil intentions towards Xincheng in the future. ”
Meng Da smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Li Fu's thoughtfulness. He coughed, and then said: "Zikuang is right, we can't rely on reinforcements, we have to show our own housekeeping skills. Otherwise, Xincheng County will become a piece of fat, and I don't know how many people will stare at us and drool. ”
He paused, changed his words, and said: "Of course, at this moment, let them do something to let us take a breath, otherwise, if we beat away Sima Yi's vicious dog, where will we have the strength to deal with those two hungry wolves." You say don't you? ”
The generals daxiao. They are all old subordinates who have followed Meng Da for many years, followed him to surrender to Liu Bei, followed him to surrender to Cao Pi, and now they want to follow him to betray Cao Wei. They didn't know who to regard as the real master for a long time, they only had Meng Da in their eyes, Meng Da dared to say such rampant things here, and naturally he was convinced that they would not betray themselves and buy people's hearts, so that they could dominate one side with this liliang in the future.
Li Fu's eyes flashed, he raised his arms, and shouted loudly: "The general is wise, swear to follow the general." ”
The generals stood up one after another, shouting slogans.
Meng da daxiao.
……
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, Sima Yi only sent 3,000 men to monitor the hill in the rear, and launched another onslaught on Fangling. The Wei army braved the rain of arrows poured from the city, crossed the Zhushui, attacked the city, and after a hard battle, completely destroyed the wooden fence set up by Meng Da outside the city, killed the city, and the ants attached to the city.
Sima Yi came too quickly, he didn't bring large siege equipment, in order to grab time, he has been attacking the city continuously these days, and there is no time to build siege equipment. After more than ten days of continuous attacks, the defensive facilities outside Fangling City have basically lost their effect, and the people in the city are also panicking.
Sima Yi did not blindly attack, his onslaught at any cost, just like he rushed all the way to the foot of Fangling City, not only has a sudden practical purpose of tactics, but also a psychological tactic. He wanted to use unexpected moves, continuous attacks that made Meng Da and his subordinates unable to react, and then wavered.
Only if their psychology is shaken, he has a chance to take advantage of the situation. Not long ago, someone in the city had come out to contact him, with the intention of asking for surrender. In order to gain the upper hand in the negotiations, he did not agree in time, originally thinking that it would be better to talk about it by staying up for two days. But I never expected that Shu Han's reinforcements actually arrived.
Although it was only a small group of troops who did not dare to show their faces, it had a very big impact on the psychology of both sides, especially the character "Han" that floated in the night sky all night yesterday, which made people begin to think of the so-called providence.
What worries Sima Yi even more is that the people who were originally anxious to surrender are now no news, and the counterattack at the head of Fangling City is even more tenacious, and the Wei army has paid a huge price in casualties, but has not been able to achieve the expected results.
Sima Yi looked at the battlefield where the shouts of killing shook the sky, pondered for a long time, and ordered to stop the attack.
"Rest for an hour and prepare for the night battle!" ―――――― ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
