There were indeed smart people among the thieves, although the losses in the fourth wave were greater than those in the first three waves, but they had already tested the limits of the defenders, so the fifth phalanx that Wei Xuan was worried about quickly rushed up.

However, they were greeted not by the exhausted second team of the defenders, but by the Wei family guards and reserves, and Wei Xuan had no choice but to leave forty archers on the city wall, and Du Peng and Zhao Yun were also replaced. The guests were also very tired, so Wei Xuan didn't let them fight, but just let them stand behind him in case of emergency.

Guo Tai and the others certainly thought about the number of soldiers in Anyi City, otherwise they would not dare to attack Anyi with 10,000 people, according to their plan, there should be at least 25,000 or 6,000 people who arrived at Auntie today, if 2,000 people take turns to attack the city in a phalanx, they can be divided into at least ten teams, each team will attack the city for half an hour, and a day will pass, so that although their own casualties are a little larger, the defenders must be exhausted.

Although there was something wrong in the middle, he still had more than 7,000 people who had not participated in the battle, and he could at least organize three phalanx projects, as long as the defenders of Anyi showed a trace of fatigue, the offensive gap between the three phalanxes would be shortened.

However, after the attack of the first four phalanxes, they thought that the victory or defeat was in this fifth phalanx, if the defenders could not bear it, then everyone behind them would kill in one go, and if the defenders were allowed to breathe, they had to find another way, and the phalanxes that had participated in the battle in front of them must be reorganized, and the number of people was too small to make full use of those ladders.

It's just that they were quickly disappointed, although these thieves who hurried over from Xiangfen seemed to have good morale, but when they encountered the well-trained guards of the Wei family, they stood up and down, and many of the guards of the Wei family put the thieves up very tacitly, and then quickly cut through the mess and quickly killed them, threw the corpses down, and then retreated to rest. Many times it seemed that the thieves had the upper hand, and then they would soon all be thrown off the walls! It's like a wave hitting a few rocks, but it looks like it's raging, but it turns out to be shattered! This was repeated several times, and there were many more corpses next to the ladder than next to it.

This kind of discord with the thieves in the ladder and the edge of the city wall entangled style of play comes from the high self-confidence and strict training of these guards and the absolute strength, whether it is physical strength or individual combat power they are far stronger than the county soldiers, so a long section of the city wall they are responsible for in the middle has become a slaughterhouse, it seems that these two or three hundred steps are the easiest to climb, but often after a while, the ladder is overturned, and the thieves who climbed up are thrown down one by one. This was repeated several times, and the thieves even deliberately avoided this section.

The opportunity for Guo Tai and others to crush the defenders has never appeared, once when they saw that the middle section was easy to break through, they thought that the defenders had finally appeared, but those guys used extra strength to throw corpses, proving that Guo Tai and others' wishes were frustrated. And as more and more corpses were thrown out of the city, the sensory stimulation of the thieves and soldiers became greater and greater, and even later, without waiting for Guo Tai and others to order the troops, some of the fifth wave of thieves gave up the attack and wandered in place, causing the defenders on the city wall to laugh.

Even Moyang, who wrote that the guards were still scholars, and that day Wei Xuan and others went out of the city to raid, retreated and raised their weapons and shouted in unison: Kill, kill, kill!

The fifth wave of the attack, which had been given high hopes by the leaders of the thieves, died down in this way, and because it was carried out relatively late, and now that the sun was setting in the west, Guo Tai and the others temporarily changed their plans to continue the wheel war, and prepared to reorganize the team.

Seeing the tide of thieves retreating, the defenders on the city wall finally couldn't help cheering, some were hysterical, and those who had been sitting under the city to rest also joined in the cheers.

The cheers of the defenders on the walls seriously dampened the morale of the thieves.

However, Wei Xuan did not relax on this, he climbed the city tower to check the enemy formation, Tai Shou Yin De didn't know when he had gone downstairs to go back, this one was still as useless as ever. If Yin De is present at this moment, a few words to the defenders to boost morale will be no less than a shot in the arm. Waste is always waste!

After confirming that the thieves would respond to the collection of troops, Wei Xuan also ordered the second team to go to the city to be on duty, and all the others went down to the city to rest. At the same time, it is also necessary to send people out of the city to move the ladder outside the city in.

Today, although the thieves only attacked for half a day, they left behind more than 1,000 corpses, and the defenders also suffered 1560 casualties, of which 70 or 80 were killed on the spot. In addition, it is estimated that twenty or thirty more people who were seriously injured did not come.

This casualty ratio looks pretty good, but Wei Xuan is not easy, because his own calculations plus all the guards of the Wei family are only 3,500 people, and at this rate, as long as there are less than 2,000 people, the city will not be able to defend it, one is the morale problem, and the other is that the number of people is too small and the physical strength is not enough to look at such a long city wall. As long as a section is broken through by the enemy, the thieves will be listed on the city wall at the county bureau level is the letter of appointment, at that time, the thieves will continue to climb the city wall from outside the city, and then enter the city and open the city gate.

Although the thieves have lost a thousand people, there are still at least 15,000, at least Ha can form seven offensive queues like today to take turns on the field.

Seven teams play once a day, and their three teams have to deal with it twice, and the calculation formula is attrition according to the same exchange ratio, and after three days, the defenders don't even have reserves, if it is less than two thousand, divided into three teams, six hundred and eight hundred people seem to be less, but the length of the city wall will not be shortened, and the number of thieves attacking will not decrease, according to today's intensity calculation, it is very likely that they will be broken through when they rotate to the second round.

So recruits must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible! Since he sent the cavalry out, and now that Daddy Wei Su has sent the last remaining guards of the Wei family, then the Wei family's plan to hold on or flee after the city is broken will be shelved, and the Wei family chooses to break the cauldron and sink the boat all in order to defend Anyi City.

Wei Xuan decided that in addition to the more than 100 knights who were closest to him, he would select another 300 guards, along with the guards who were training recruits with Cypress, to join the new barracks.

The losses and benefits of this kind of grouping are very obvious, not to mention the disadvantages, just talking about the benefits, the time for the recruits to form combat effectiveness will be greatly shortened, and the control of the recruits by the private guards will be greatly strengthened.

It was for the last point that Wei Xuan had to go to the Taishou Mansion to meet Taishou Yinde. Originally, if Taishou Yin De could hold on to the thief soldier Mingjin, he would have to run a lot less.

However, whoever makes the Wei family the first family in Hedong, the Wei family all lives in Anyi City, anyone can not defend Anyi, the Wei family must do their best, Yin De may have seen this and chose to do the showcase.

When it got dark, Wei Xuan took a moment to come to the Taishou Mansion and made a simple report on today's battle situation, and Taishou Yinde also symbolically encouraged a few words, and then Wei Xuan went straight to the point and told about his worries and countermeasures, Yinde did not object, maybe I felt that the future Hedong was none of his business even if the Wei family covered the sky with one hand, so I nodded and agreed. And let Wei Xuan decide for himself that the generals of the new barracks will be notified after they are settled, and there is no need to ask for instructions back and forth. At Wei Xuan's insistence, Yin De still issued an order on giving Wei Xuan carte blanche to rent recruits.

With this order, Wei Xuan consulted with Bai Shu, Zheng Teng, Xue Li and others overnight, although the military soldier Sima is not as formal as the imperial court, but after all, he needs to manage many people, so there will be only one in Wei Xuan's new barracks, and that is Xu Huang. Bai Shu, Zheng Teng and Xue Li are military marquis, and then they need to be promoted to two and three people as military marquis according to the scale of the team expansion.

After the guards of the Wei family joined the new barracks, most of them became tun commanders and team leaders, and a few were fire captains. In short, no matter what the combat effectiveness is, this new battalion is controlled by the Wei family.

After arranging all this, Wei Xuan came to the private house by the city wall to house the wounded soldiers.

This is in accordance with Wei Xuan's previous requirements, specially cleaned up, and then built a roof in the courtyard of the house, the wounded barracks are of course different from the ordinary wounded barracks, this is Wei Xuan's advantage as a traverser, he formulated detailed regulations for the wounded barracks, and appointed a trusted person of the Wei family to personally supervise, including from treatment to medication to daily gauze replacement and other health requirements have specific rules.

Most of these wounded soldiers are county soldiers, they have fought before, some have been injured or have seen others injured, compared to the past, these wounded soldiers are lucky, except for the medicine is sufficient, the sanitary conditions and life care are completely different.

In the past, the wounded battalions basically relied on themselves to fight against the wounded, including infection and something, it all depended on the body, and even if the poor were in poor health, even if they survived the battlefield, they were waiting for death.

When these veterans saw Wei Xuan's arrival, they all got up from the hospital bed and bowed down to Wei Xuan, without him, now Wei Xuan is the actual supreme commander of the Anyi garrison, the most important thing is to pay attention to Wei Xuan's wounded barracks, they are cared for by many doctors, and there are also Banggong to help them change clothes and gauze, the beds and the ground are clean, and the waste will be cleaned up by someone as soon as possible, and there are a few people who have burned their feet with the help of helpers just now. Most of them contributed money and sincerely thanked Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan originally wanted to learn from Wu Qi to suck the rotten wounds on the body for the wounded soldiers, but these were all newly injured, because they were defending the city and had not marched for a long time, so there were no foot blisters under their feet. Therefore, I can only encourage the business institute and tell the helpers to take good care of the wounded and have the opportunity to show off again in the future.

Of course, the rich pensions for those who died in battle will be issued today no matter what, this is a matter of the morale of the whole army, no one dares to slack off, the Lord Bo Pei Sheng because he also received an order from Taishou Yinde before, and fully cooperated with Wei Xuan, so this part of the money has already been prepared.
