Chapter 343: I Can't Beat Ma Jian Without Me?
At this moment, if Wang Ling wants to fight quickly, then dividing his troops to besiege the Shu army is the best choice. After all, the Wei army had five times as many soldiers and horses as the Shu army, and it was very easy to encircle on all sides.
However, obviously, unless Wang Ling wanted to take a look at the heroic posture of Ma Jian and the cavalry to break the Wei army, he would never dare to choose this.
Ma Tan dared to divide the troops, it was he who divided the troops and really beat you. If you, Wang Ling, divide your troops again...... Are the 3,000 light cavalry of the Dang Ma Tan vegetarian?
Since he did not dare to divide his troops, Wang Ling could only dispatch the whole army and storm Dingying with superior forces. It seems that there are only 2,000 people defending the city, and there is basically no big threat except for 2,000 Shu troops on the mountain a few miles away.
"Quickly build siege equipment, and besiege Dingying City in a few days!" Wang Ling pondered for a while and made the same choice as when Zhang He besieged the street pavilion.
Although the opponent divided his troops and surrounded him, he did not have many troops. As long as the army breaks Dingying City, everything will be fine.
Now Wang Ling can only comfort himself like this......
In a few days, Wang Ling quickly built siege equipment, and then the 40,000 army pressed up. Thousands of soldiers and horses were divided to resist the 2,000 Shu army on the West Mountain, and thousands of soldiers and horses were divided to protect the baggage, and then 30,000 soldiers and horses were fully pressed.
Of course, Wang Ling was still wary of the cavalry of the Shu army, and built a lot of chariots and antlers early to prepare. Once the cavalry of the Han army appeared, Wang Ling immediately reined in his troops and horses, relying on antlers and chariots to resist them.
Everything was ready, Wang Ling felt almost safe, so he cautiously went up.
The 30,000 Wei army surrounded the city on all sides and began to storm the city. A large number of siege equipment was carried up and began to attack the city.
Dingying is responsible for guarding Jufu, a good seedling discovered and promoted by Zhuge Liang. This time, I followed Ma Jian and was also entrusted with an important task by Ma Tan.
In the face of the offensive launched by Wang Ling's side, Jufu was not in a hurry, and ordered all the soldiers to lie in wait at the head of the city, and did not order anyone not to take the lead.
The siege soldiers and horses of the Wei army cautiously approached the city all the way, but they were not counterattacked by the Shu army. As a result, some people began to become emboldened, and the various Wei soldiers marched much faster.
It wasn't until the ladder was almost about to reach the top of the city that the soldiers and horses of the Han army stood up and launched a surprise attack on the Wei army under the order of Jufu.
Relying on the power of the repeating crossbow, countless arrows and crossbow arrows poured out, falling into the Wei army's array like flying locusts. The Wei army, which was caught off guard, was shot and killed, and the charging formation briefly caused a riot.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ju Fu quickly commanded the Han army to change, and countless rockets and oil were brought out, and the siege equipment of the Wei army began to set fire.
The fiery oil quickly poured down, landed under the city, and quickly ignited a raging fire. The wooden siege equipment leaning against the edge of the city was immediately overwhelmed by the flames, and burned along with the nearby soldiers.
"Help me!"
"Fire! Put out the fire! The ladder is going to be burned! ”
"Fine sand! Who carries fine sand! Put out the fire! ”
The Wei army's formation was chaotic by the flames in an instant, and the front and back connections were immediately chaotic.
For the oil oil, the Wei army had a means of prevention, that is, throwing fine sand to cover the flames.
However, because of the rain of arrows at close range of the Shu army, the Wei army's formation was a little chaotic for a while, and the fire was not extinguished in time. And the siege equipment has been transported, although it has not yet been erected on the head of the city, but it is already very close.
As a result, before the Wei army could prepare, a large number of siege equipment was drowned in the fire.
Lacking siege equipment, the Wei army began to want to withdraw, and at this time, Ju Fu ordered the Han army to shoot with all their might. A large number of Wei soldiers were shot and killed in the chaos of the retreat, and the losses were extremely huge.
"What's the situation? There are still masters in Xishu? Could it be that Wang Ping is also here? Wang Ling couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he saw such embarrassment.
Zhuge Liang is not here, Ma Jian is not here, and even Wang Ping, who is known as the best at defense in Xishu, is not here, why haven't I fought yet?
Isn't it said that Xishu burned the talent clean with a fire in Yiling? Why do you feel that it is my Dawei who really lacks talents?
Jufu's performance gave Wang Ling a surprise, making him find that there seemed to be no Ma Yan, and the Shu army was not so easy to gnaw.
"Envoy, we should ...... next"
"Keep attacking!" Wang Ling frowned, and after a deep groan, he quickly gave an order.
"I don't believe it, I can't beat it without Ma Jian in the city?"
After I became a Taiyuan Wang, did I have no face like this!!
The first round of attacks was repelled by the operation of Jufu Banshao, and the Wei army retreated and regrouped, and launched a second round of attacks again.
Siege warfare is generally a battle for endurance, and there are still few people like Ma Tan who desperately try to take the lead in a few rounds of attacks like Ma Tan.
In the face of the Wei army's repeated alternating offensives, Jufu calmly commanded two thousand Shu troops to resist.
As a descendant of a non-Ma Yan, Jufu basically relied on his own little hard work to climb to his current position. His ability is absolutely excellent, and with him in charge, the Wei army's idea of quickly taking down Dingying is basically in vain.
The Wei army took turns to storm the head of Dingying, but was repulsed by the Shu army again and again. Wang Ling watched as his 30,000 soldiers and horses attacked in turn, but they were blocked again and again by 2,000 Shu troops in a small city.
This made Wang Ling more and more unacceptable, why is a random unknown young general in Xishu so powerful? And I, Dawei, is so big in the world and rich in the Central Plains that I have fallen to the top of the old man in his sixties?
Who is the great power?
At this moment, Wang Ling couldn't understand all this, and he didn't know that from the moment Cao Wei's Jiupin Zhongzheng system was launched, the withering of talents was inevitable.
In fact, the more famous generals on the Shu Han side, such as Jiang Wei, Zhang Wei, Liu Yin and others, cannot be in a high position in Cao Wei's life. This is also the reason why although Cao Wei's family is big, there are fewer and fewer capable talents.
However, Wang Ling didn't know much about it, he just felt a little unconvinced.
Then the Wei army began to greet Dingying City in turn, and a large number of siege equipment poured out. The two sides besieged Dingying for two days, but Wang Ling still couldn't help Dingying.
On the third day of the fight, Wang Ling personally rushed to the front army to command the soldiers and horses, encouraging the soldiers to move forward bravely.
However, it seems that it is not easy to do, not only did it not encourage the morale of the soldiers, but also let the Shu army discover that the Wei army was on top.
The two sides rushed to fight until the afternoon, Wang Ling still failed to make any achievements, and when he planned to withdraw his troops again, he suddenly burst out.
"Envoy! Suddenly there was a lot of smoke and dust in the rear of our army! The cavalry of Xishu is here! A scout rushed back and reported to Wang Ling.
"What?" Wang Ling's heart jumped, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a lot of smoke and dust behind his house.
Ma Jian led the headquarters of 3,000 cavalry to kill!
"Damn! Ma Tan, this bastard is really good at picking the time! The whole army withdrew to the main camp and was held with chariot antlers as a barrier! ”
