Chapter 724: Siege

After the Shu Han army took control of the southern part of Wancheng, Wei Ba began to command thunderbolts and ballistas to enter the city. With the help of the vanguard troops entering the city, the soldiers of the baggage battalion quickly paved the track into the city, and then the ballista carts advanced into the city, and one by one the thunderbolt cars lowered their poles and entered Wancheng along the track, and lined up in the area clearly identified by Meng Da.

Wei Ba did not enter the city, but Fei Yi entered the city, came to the front of the battle, and asked to see Sima Yi.

He brought Li Yan's words: Isn't the hussar general going to negotiate, I'm here.

If it was said that Li Yan sent people to answer in front of the battle before he was just planning and hitting the morale of the Wei army, then now that Fei Yi appeared in front of the battle, and behind him was a gradually forming position, it was not as simple as psychological warfare.

This is a real negotiation, but it is not that the soldiers are coming to the city, but that the army has entered the city and is forcing Sima Yi to negotiate with a knife.

Sima Yi smiled bitterly, but he didn't move, he asked people to put down the basket and take Fei Yi to the city tower. Fei Yi walked out of the basket, dusted off his body, followed Sima Zhao into the lobby, slowly walked in front of Sima Yi, and bowed.

"The hussar general is well."

Sima Yi waved his hand, with a hint of self-deprecation: "Fei Wenwei, what are you doing here?" ”

"Negotiations." Fei Yi smiled calmly: "I have no power to restrain the chicken, can I still assassinate the hussar general?" ”

Sima Yi looked at Fei Yi, his eyes were a little surprised, and a little bitter. He sent Peng Xiaoyu out of the city, where did he really want to negotiate, but he just wanted to find a reason to delay a little time. But Wei Ba saw through his plan and ignored him at all. On the contrary, he took this opportunity to shake the military spirit of the Wei army. Now that Wei Ba has broken through Wancheng, he sent Fei Yi to negotiate, and the meaning is not the same as the negotiation he said at all.

Fei Yi is so calm, on the one hand, because of his bearing, and on the other hand, because the Shu Han army has the upper hand. When a strong person speaks, he always has to be calm. Now that the initiative has been transferred to Wei Ba's hands, Fei Yi certainly has nothing to fear.

As for the Peng brothers and sisters, who will take them seriously.

"You know, there's no way I'm going to surrender."

"I do know, but since the hussar general has sent an invitation. Pay somebody back in the same coin. We have to have a response, or wouldn't it be rude? Fei Yi said with a smile: "However, I suggest that the general think about it, time is limited." Wait for our army to capture the entire Wancheng. You want to talk about it again. Maybe it's a different story. ”

Sima Zhao raised his eyebrows and said in a choked voice: "Did Wei Ba ask you to come?" ”

Fei Yi put away his smile and frowned slightly: "Who are you?" ”

"I am the second son of a hussar general. Sima Zhao. ”

"That's not right." Fei Yi shook his head suspiciously: "I have heard for a long time that the Sima family in Wen County is a Confucian heirloom, when did such a rude offspring appear?" ”

Sima Zhao's face suddenly turned red. Sima Yi remained silent, and then Sima Zhao asked, "Did General Zhennan ask you to negotiate, or is it a hussar general?" ”

"Of course, it is the hussar general, and the general Zhennan has no interest in negotiating at all." Fei Yi spread his hands and said with a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Do you really think that a servant girl can sway him?" A Peng Heng who almost killed him will make him worry? Hussar General, you are so merciful, no wonder you have been defeated again and again at the hands of General Zhennan. Peng Heng's life and death are not worth worrying about, let's talk about the life and death of your father and son. ”

After Fei Yi finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "It will take a while for General Zhennan's position to be completed, and he will be idle anyway." ”

……

Li Yan walked through the south gate of Wancheng under the hugs of the front and back, and when he passed the hanging gate, he specially stopped to look. The hanging gate hangs intact on the top of the city gate hole, revealing only a swarthy edge, and the little firelight that reveals a golden edge for the hanging door, which looks so beautiful.

"It seems that the Wei army didn't even have time to put down this hanging door, and Ziyu's attack was really lightning fast."

Wei Ba smiled slightly: "It's normal for stone bullets and arrows to run faster, but if there is no general's dispatch, the armies can't enter the city in such an orderly manner, what's the point?" The generals will have millions of soldiers, like the fingers of the arm, which is really breathtaking. ”

Li Yan daxiao and Wei Ba laughed together, and the staff of the Hussar General's Mansion next to them also laughed happily.

Li Yan entered the city, and immediately sat down on the south gate tower, and someone prepared a few seats for the case. The fire in the city was in full bloom, illuminating Li Yan's face with excitement shining in his eyes. Wancheng was about to be conquered, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Although Sima Yi is still resisting stubbornly, the big city has been broken, and how long can a mere tooth city last.

Li Yan saw the second wall built by Sima Yi, but he didn't care about it. The real city walls did not stop him, and what could such makeshift fortifications do.

"Ziyu, how long will it take to break through this line of defense?" Li Yan put one hand behind him, pointed to the city wall with the other, and said to Wei Ba, his tone relaxed and gentle.

Wei Ba pondered for a moment: "If Fei Yi can successfully disturb Sima Yi's state of mind, the generals will be attentive, I think one day is enough." ”

Li Yan nodded. Wei Ba set up a formation outside the city, and Sima Yi of course had to make corresponding adjustments in the city, and a large number of thunderbolts and even ballistas of the Wei army were placed in the southwest of the city. Standing on the city wall, he could clearly see the blazing fire on the left, which were the Wei army's thunderbolts, ballistae and other combat equipment burning.

It can be said that in the first round of the battle, Sima Yi's biggest loss was not the thousands of soldiers, but these thunderbolts and crossbow cars. In this regard, the Wei army did not have an advantage in the first place, and now it has suffered such a big loss, and in the point of long-range strikes, the Shu Han army has already occupied an absolute advantage. Even if the city is not as open as the outside of the city, it is impossible to attack with more than a thousand thunderbolts, it is enough to have an overwhelming advantage.

The day Wei Ba said already included the time to transport the thunderbolt and crossbow carts into the city and line up. Although he had already made the best plan, it would still take a lot of time to transport these large weapons through several city gates.

Before he could get ready, Li Yan needed to use a large number of troops to form a defensive line to buy time for Wei Ba. He sent Fei Yi into the city to "negotiate" with Sima Yi, which was also a strategy to gain time.

Li Yan patted the slightly hot city wall, looked at the soldiers who were shouting for a battle, and showed an unconcealed smile on his face. As long as Wei Ba is deployed in the city, he can launch another offensive and occupy the entire Wancheng.

In the distance, Meng Da commanded a group of soldiers to form a defensive formation, and the Wei army was fighting to the death with the Wei army that was trying to counterattack.

At their feet, the soldiers pushed chariots into the city and converged into the positions ahead.

Li Yan looked at all this, but his mind drifted into the distance. Prime Minister, I have already entered Wancheng, have you also entered Ji County?

Wei Ba stood beside Li Yan, looking at the soldiers who were fighting bloodily in front of him, but his heart was a little worried. There are still more than 20,000 Wei troops in the city, if Fei Yi can't shake Sima Yi's will, approach Sima Yi to abandon the city and leave, and can only storm Yacheng, then the casualties of the Shu Han army will be very amazing. After supporting a batch of stone bullets and pottery bombs for the Wu army, the remaining reserves were not enough to launch a third attack, and the stone bombs could also be recycled and reused, but the pottery bombs were disposable and could not be replenished in time. In the absence of an overwhelming long-range strike on Liliang, storming Tooth City will be a tough battle to win or lose.

If the casualties of the Shu Han army are too large, even if Wancheng is conquered, it is also a question whether it can hold it in the future. It is impossible for Cao Rui to sit idly by and watch Wancheng fall, he will definitely concentrate Liliang to counterattack, just like after the loss of Guanzhong. Only with sufficient strength can Cao Rui not dare to act rashly, and Shu Han can get a chance to breathe.

And if you want to preserve your strength, you can only hope that Fei Yi will succeed. If Fei Yi wants to succeed, he must first show Liliang who is strong enough to make Sima Yi frightened.

This is a contradiction, and the contest is which is more tenacious, he or Sima Yi. As for Li Yan, he won't care about this, as long as he takes Wancheng, his exploits will be in hand, as for whether Wancheng can be defended next, that's not his problem.

Because it is impossible for him to guard Wancheng in person.

He didn't think about it, but Wei Ba couldn't help but think about it.

……

Sima Shi couldn't cry or laugh, Sima Zhao's face turned purple with anger, Sima Yi looked at Fei Yi, silent, but his heart was heavy. The more relaxed Fei Yi was, the more uneasy he became. Because this can only show that Wei Ba is not interested in negotiating at all, and he is very sure of conquering Wancheng.

In fact, Wei Ba has already proven his strength, breaking through the city in less than half a day, which is a fact that everyone can see.

Surrender is impossible, the Sima family in Hanoi cannot afford such a humiliation, he can die, but he cannot disgrace the Sima family. You must know that although the Sima family is not their father and son as officials in the court, he is the pillar of the Sima family in the Cao Wei court, if he surrenders to Cao Wei, then the entire Sima family will be implicated.

What about negotiations? is obviously not reliable, Fei Yi is not so much here to negotiate as to persuade him to surrender.

Sima Yi sat motionless, but his vest was in a cold sweat. The situation in front of him was something he didn't expect, and in a moment, he couldn't find any way to solve it.

It seems that there is only one way left for him to do now: abandon Wancheng and break through.

As soon as this thought popped up, Sima Yi was startled, and looked at Fei Yi with a sharp gaze. Fei Yi was looking at the scenery outside complacently, a row of tall guards blocked his gaze, and he couldn't see the defense of the Wei army outside. But his mind doesn't seem to be there, he's just looking at the scenery.

As for whether he was really looking at the scenery, only he knew.

Sima Yi took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, he found himself a little panicked, and he actually came up with such a ridiculous idea as leaving without a fight, which was really unforgivable. The more dangerous it is, the more calm the commander's mind is, how can he be forced by the current battle situation to have such an idea?

Could it be that Fei Yi came here for this purpose?

Sima Yi rolled his eyes and laughed. "Fei Jun, in that case, why don't we talk about it?"
