Chapter 452: Trapped Beast

Compared with the eastern battlefield, the battle of the southern siege of the city was more tragic.

Both Sima Fu and Wang Ji knew exactly what this battle meant.

If the blockade of Chang'an is not broken, this city will be trapped to death sooner or later.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, this trend has emerged in Chang'an.

Food is scarce and people's hearts are unstable.

The swaggering plundering of the Liangzhou army again and again greatly shook the hearts of the army and the people in the city.

If you dare not go out of the city, you cannot farm.

For the hundreds of thousands in Chang'an City, it is absolutely fatal.

The soldiers will eat, the young and strong will eat, and the people will eat.

It was all thanks to Sima Fu's respect for the ether lieutenant and the countless promises that Chang'an City was stabilized.

In fact, Wang Ji did not advocate launching a Meng's attack now, trying to use Chang'an City to consume the Liangzhou army for a few months, wait for it to be exhausted, and then in one go, the 40,000 Chinese army and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Chang'an City were young and strong, and they were able to fight in one battle!

But after the city was erected, there was a panic in Chang'an City.

The common people and soldiers could not see the general trend of the world, nor could they see Wang Ji's 40,000 army, but they only saw the endless Liangzhou army showing off their might, and the three-sided "Yang" character on the high earth mountain outside the city.

Morale has been repeatedly low.

After such a long period of contact, the defenders' fear of the Liangzhou army became greater and greater.

Sima Fu knew that Chang'an City would not last for a few months.

That's why I had to contact Wang Ji and launch an attack in advance.

It's just that the Liangzhou Army was obviously transferred to the eastern battlefield by Wang Ji's clever plan, but the southern siege with empty troops is still impregnable.

On the earthen ramparts, dozens of bed crossbows gave the Wei army a huge impact.

The shield and armor were useless, and when they missed, they could pin two soldiers to the ground.

This is just the first blow.

The second is the antlers, half buried in the earth, with the tip outward like fangs.

The third is the ravines on both sides of the earthen ramparts, and the drop between the earthen fortress and the earthen fortress is close to one zhang, as long as the Wei army rushes into it, the earthen fortress falls rocks, arrows rain, and fire oil roll down.

Zhang Te turned this place into a flesh millstone.

Since ancient times, the siege of the city has been surrounded by three que.

Of course, Wang Ji could not attack Nanwei, but chose to cross the river and go around to the west of Chang'an.

But this is exactly what Yang Zheng intended.

It's easy to get around, but it's hard to get around.

To the north, Weishui runs from west to east, and if the grain from the Kanto region wants to be transported in, it is a boat against the current, and it needs to be pulled by slender men on both sides of the strait.

These grains will only become a new target for the Liangzhou cavalry.

As long as the sandwich city on the southeast side exists, Chang'an's dilemma will be insoluble.

Therefore, even if they knew that there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, Wang Ji and Sima Fu had to level it.

There has been a river of blood under the city.

Sima Fu in the north moved first, knocking down the antlers and filling the ravines with human lives.

In the south, Wang Ji attacked, and the soldiers cut down trees for the bridge and pounced on the ravine, and the casualties were smaller than those in the north.

It's just that they tried their best, but in vain after all.

Zhang Teshou's water is not leaky, although the government soldiers are slightly weaker than the pro-army, they are also warriors selected from various ethnic groups, and they have also experienced many tragic battles.

Spear and short crossbow, leather armor ring knife.

A few Qiang pawns habitually cut off their buns, and their messy hair flew in blood.

There were also a few Han soldiers who ripped off their leather armor and sweated like water with strong muscles.

Fierce and wild, bloody and brave.

In the face of the twelve military exploits, there is no distinction between government soldiers and pro-army.

"Defend the city and break Chang'an!" Xuanyi constantly boosts morale among the crowd.

Changan!

It was Chang'an, the imperial capital that countless people looked up to.

In Yongliang, there is no city more brilliant than it.

Like the Northern Expedition of the Shu Army, Chang'an gradually became the spiritual belief of the Liangzhou Army.

Many people vaguely know that if they take Chang'an, their princes may not be just princes.

Even if they die in battle, they can win a lot of substantial things for their families.

Sima Fu and Wang Ji's attacks were blocked again and again, and they paid heavy casualties.

The yellowish-brown earthen walls were dyed blood-red.

The ravines that the corpses have long filled in.

Corpses hung from the tips of the antlers that stretched out like dogs' teeth, and crows hovering in the sky fell, pecked at an eyeball, and then flew into the sky to be disturbed by the sound of fighting.

Corpses were constantly nailed to the ground by spear-like crossbow arrows, and the corpses struggled with various extreme twists and struggles, and finally dried up their blood and died in an extremely strange position......

Zhang Te pressed his sword to patrol the city, as if there was no battlefield in his eyes, he only looked at his soldiers, "Today's battle, let the world know the benefits of our army!" ”

One sentence entered the hearts of the soldiers.

How can a soldier not be competitive and competitive?

This sentence is not only an affirmation of the soldiers, but also a boost to their confidence.

If this battle is won, the benefits of the government soldiers are not under the pro-army!

The soldiers were even more excited......

Under the sandwich city, Wang Ji's brows furrowed, "Zhang Te? ”

Those who are good at fighting have no great feats.

The more infamous people are, the more dangerous they are.

The enemy knows me and I don't know the enemy!

That's how Liu Xuande was burned by the fledgling Lu Boyan for 800 miles.

This year's Wang Ji has nine out of sixty, how similar is it to Liu Bei back then?

Liangzhou can become today's trend, of course, Yang Zheng will not be the only one!

He tried his best to attract the main force of the Liangzhou Army to the eastern battlefield at the cost of 10,000 Chinese troops, but he didn't expect that this clamping city would still not be able to be captured.

The tragic battlefield shook his heart.

This situation reminded him of the siege of Shouchun a few months ago.

Wen Qin and Zhu Yi also attacked the southern siege from the north and south, and suffered heavy casualties.

It's just that feng shui takes turns.

Although today's battle is not as large as the Battle of Shouchun, it is more tragic.

He knew very well that his subordinates had reached their limit, and the defenders on the city walls seemed to be at ease!

Several Qiang people with hair laughed wildly on the Tucheng, while those soldiers who took off their armor directly insulted Sima Yi and Sima Shi......

Wang Ji sighed secretly in his heart, the general still underestimated the western thief!

"Report to the general, the north has suffered heavy casualties and has retreated, and the captain ordered the general to rest for a day and raid together tomorrow night." The scouts came to report.

"Tomorrow night?" Wang Ji's face changed.

If this garrison army is not the main force of Liangzhou, then you can imagine how strong the main force of the Liang army is.

It is quite possible that 10,000 of his horses were eaten!

Years of battlefield intuition made him break out in a cold sweat.

If the battlefield in the east collapses, he will not be able to support it in the south, and he will not even be able to retreat.

There is water in the west, Bashui in the east, Jiacheng in the north, and Qinling in the south.

What's even more terrifying is that most of the main force of the Liang army is cavalry!

How do you run on two legs over four legs?

Wang Ji's face sank, there was only one chance for him, and he would decline again and again.

I can't take Nanwei now, and it's even more impossible tomorrow night.

And it is likely that if you can't wait for tomorrow night, the main cavalry of the Liang army will copy behind you......

"Order the troops, cross the water, and withdraw into Chang'an!" Wang Ji was unusually decisive.

What battles can be fought and what battles cannot be fought, he is more sober than anyone else.

"What?"

The generals around him all looked at him in surprise.

Immediately relieved, he arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”
