Wang Lang is uncomfortable, and there are extenuating circumstances.

How to talk about the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou army, with this number of troops, on the first day of the Liangzhou army's arrival in the city, it was enough to make Wang Lang like a great enemy.

There were 20,000 people outside the city, and only 5,000 of them themselves, and there was a serious shortage of food and grass. Wang Lang felt that Huayin County could hold on for ten days, and it was because of his Wang Lang's super performance.

And Sue was uncomfortable. It's also because of the Liangzhou Army.

Su is really unlucky, there is such a group of bastards from Liangzhou.

Of course, the Liangzhou Army is still a regular army in the end, no matter how unlucky Su Ze is, he is not as unlucky as Chen Yi, and the Liangzhou Army is much higher in terms of combat effectiveness than the things put together by the family grain transportation team.

But the problem is that the military discipline of this Liangzhou army is really not much better than that of the family grain transportation team.

On the way, why Su Ze didn't arrive at Linjin at the appointed time was to restrain these Liangzhou soldiers and prevent them from causing trouble along the way, so the journey was slowed down for about half a day.

Su is a person with persistence and principles, since he agreed to Liu Bei Group, Su Ze never thought of living like this.

At the beginning, Su Ze was valued by Cao Pi and sent to Liangzhou to be the captain of Huqiang, in addition to his ability, the most important point is that Su Ze is principled and responsible.

Liangzhou is a shabby place, it has been a mess for nearly a hundred years, and the duty of protecting the Qiang captain is not only to deal with the Qiang people, but also to deal with the local indigenous families in Liangzhou.

Therefore, Su Ze was valued by Cao Pi, and was appointed as the captain of Huqiang and went to Liangzhou to take office.

But Su Ze didn't expect that less than half a year after he took office, the Shu thieves went out of Qishan, broke off the battle of Long, and completely cut off the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong.

What Su didn't expect was that in the process of holding Liangzhou, he was also captured by Shu thieves.

And then bar. Well, that's how it is now, Su Ze became the general of the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, leading the Liangzhou foot soldiers to enter the customs to "beg for thieves".

Although it is difficult to predict the world, Su Ze's principle and sense of responsibility have not been let go, since he has brought this group of Liangzhou soldiers, he must control them.

Whether it was their daily march or logistical supplies, the Soviet Union must make corresponding preparations, and most importantly, they must be disciplined.

There are some behaviors that Liangzhou soldiers do in Liangzhou, which is normal, because everyone is used to it, and they all do it like this.

But in Guanzhong, that is an act that will corrupt military discipline.

This will not only lead to a deterioration in the reputation of Liangzhou's military style, but also affect the reputation of the Han court.

Let's take the simplest example.

Zhao Yun's order to the Liangzhou Infantry Regiment was to let Su Ze send 5,000 men to contain the Wei army in Huayin County and prevent them from launching an attack on the logistics supply convoy.

It's not a good job, it's not a good job, and if you don't do it well, it will affect the supply of food and grass for the army.

But just such a job, several generals of the Liangzhou Army are about to fight.

There's no way, I'm in a hurry along the way, and God knows if there's any credit to take after that. Now I finally encountered a task that looked a bit like merit, and no one would let it go.

And Su Ze also knows what these bastards are thinking.

These things didn't take the so-called "containment" order to heart, and Su Ze dared to bet that he would leave on his front foot and stay to serve as the "containment" task of the Liangzhou general, and he would dare to order the siege of the city the next moment.

Anyway, as long as the city is captured, there is no question of whether to contain or not, of course, taking a step back, taking the initiative to attack, is also a means of containment.

But the problem is that this kind of soft confrontation with the military orders of the higher authorities has naturally become a matter of no one, and if it fails, it will be a big trouble.

This kind of practice doesn't matter in Liangzhou, anyway, with Zhao Yun or Pang De protecting him, Xu Miao is not easy to pursue.

But now it is a battle to enter the customs, in case it annoys Zhang Xi, the assassin of Yongzhou, or if it goes further, it directly annoys the Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang I heard that he is known for his strict law enforcement and never favoritism.

So, it doesn't matter who is left to contain Huayin's Wei army, the key is to let the people who stay obey the military orders, and don't play that in Liangzhou again.

Su Ze was tired, so he chose a person who looked more loyal from the three generals, and asked him to lead 5,000 people to stay behind and contain him, while he led the remaining 15,000 people to the east, striving to join Zhao Yun and Zhang Xi's main forces as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Su Ze repeatedly warned the remaining general that he only needed to contain the Wei army and protect his own grain route, and not to take the initiative to attack the city.

And the one who stayed behind smiled innocently and nodded in agreement.

Su Ze was a little relieved.

But before Su Ze could lead his troops to leave the distance of ten miles, the left-behind general was unusual, and directly ordered the whole army to reorganize, cut down trees to build hook ladders, and prepare to attack the city.

As for the order, what is the order?! Our family is from Liangzhou, and Chinese is not good for us.

What did General Su say just now, don't take the initiative to attack the city?!

Well, from today on, Lao Tzu has changed his name, and his name is Mo Mo to take the initiative to attack the city, General Su wants me to take the initiative to attack the city.

Okay, understood, follow the military orders!!

Su Ze is really tired of setting up such a group of things.

Sometimes, Su Ze didn't know what he was leading, but now that the military situation was urgent, Su Ze had no good way, so he could only go all the way to see all the way, and the most important thing was to take the main foot soldiers to join Zhang Xi as soon as possible and encircle and suppress the main force of the Wei army in retreat.

So. In fact, Su Zezhen knew it in his heart, but as long as these Liangzhou things don't delay the business and affect the transportation of grain and grass for the army, the rest, Su Zezhen can only open one eye and close one eye, and he doesn't know.

In this way, Su Ze continued to lead the troops on the road, bypassed Huayin County, and began to march towards Tongguan.

At this time, on the front line of Tongguan, Wei Yan had already entered the most dangerous moment of holding Tongguan.

On the front, Cao Zhen had already led his troops to the front line of Tongguan, and the strength of the Wei army in front of Tongguan had increased from 10,000 to 45,000, in addition to 8,000 cavalry.

On the back of Tongguan, after Xiahou Shang urgently cut down trees, he also built three cloud ladders and countless hook ladders, preparing to start the ant siege.

In the Guannai, after seven days of perseverance and fighting, Wei Yan had only about 2,200 soldiers left who could still fight, including more than 400 soldiers who were slightly injured.

Today's Tongguan has reached the point where everyone needs to go to the wall to defend if they are not lying down and can't move.

Wei Yan originally expected to hold on for ten days, but in fact, he was telling the truth, and with the current strength and morale of the army, Wei Yan estimated that he could hold on for three days at most. Stick to it for fifteen days, purely depending on the destiny of heaven.

But since he had already boasted about Haikou in front of Zhang Xi, Wei Yan Wei Yan felt that he had no way out, even if he died, he would die in Tongguan.

However, Wei Yan has this awareness, it does not mean that the soldiers he brought also have this awareness.

3,000 cavalry, 800 men lost in battle, not counting the lightly wounded. The battle damage was close to three.

The worst thing is that the enemy's fiercest offensive has not yet arrived, and the next few days are the most critical moment to defend the city. If you want to say how high the morale of the soldiers can be, that's also nonsense.

There is no way, Wei Yan must find a way to improve the morale of the defenders, but Wei Yan is not the kind of general who is good at words to motivate Wei Yan, he has only one choice.

Every battle must be the first, as long as the enemy attacks, Wei Yan will always be the one who rushes to the front line of the fight, and he does not regard himself as a general, but as a super soldier in this way Wei Yan wants to tell the Han army defending the city that he, the general, is always with them.

Each general has a different way of motivating morale, and Wei Yan uses this way to motivate soldiers, which is actually a very common but effective method.

The soldiers of this year will eat this set.

Looking back on Wu Qi sucking gangrene, and getting closer to say that there are Li Guangai soldiers like sons in this year, there are really not many soldiers, as long as there is respect.

The Lord will be willing to honor me, and I will have to repay me with death. Huo Quzhi's "clear reward and punishment" way of leading troops is not the mainstream in this era.

Therefore, when the soldiers saw that Wei Yan was the general of Zhenxi, he was able to eat in the same pot with them and kill the enemy on the city wall together. The generals are not afraid of death, what right do we have to complain about it.

In this way, with the momentary courage of Wei Yan, on the first day of the most arduous defense of the city, the defenders of Tongguan repelled the Wei army's two-sided attack on Tongguan at the cost of more than 500 casualties.

But this battle loss also made Wei Yan a little unbearable.

There were more than 500 casualties, of which less than 80 were lightly wounded who could continue to fight. In this battle, everyone is desperate.

As a result, the number of combatable soldiers in the Tongguan garrison has been sharply reduced from 2,200 to more than 1,700, and the battle losses are nearly half.

If he continued to hold on like this, even if he didn't consider the morale of the army, the question of whether the soldiers would collapse, and if he held out for two more days, Wei Yan would have no troops available.

Sure enough, holding on for ten days is the limit, and holding on for fifteen days is simply impossible.

Just when Wei Yan was lamenting helplessly in his heart, the next day, the army of Allah Cao on the front did not devote all its forces to attack Tongguan.

And the reason, Wei Yan also saw very clearly, just behind the flank of Cao Zhen's main army, a cavalry of thousands of people appeared, and Cao Zhen had to divide his troops to block the attack of this cavalry team on his main army.

Obviously, Zhang Xi and Zhao Yun, who followed behind Cao Zhen, finally appeared on the battlefield of Tongguan at a critical moment.

This made Wei Yan breathe a sigh of relief, but only slightly.

After all, behind Tongguan, the Praetorian Guard led by Xiahou Shang began to attack the city again.
