For many days, the Han army launched a stubborn offensive against Xincai City, but the city seemed to be an impregnable fortress, and the Han army paid a huge price for the capture of the city.

On the walls of Xincai City, the flag of the Wei State above the city head fluttered in the wind, and the city walls were full of Wei soldiers, their armor flashing with cold light, holding sharp blades in their hands, waiting for the battle.

The trebuchets in the city continued to fire boulders, and the crossbowmen in the city followed them, shooting a dense rain of arrows, and every Han soldier had to risk their lives as they charged.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The Han siege equipment came, the ladder was erected, the huge catapult kept firing boulders, and the Wei soldiers on the city wall struggled to resist, shielded with shields, and picked up the ladder with spears, stubbornly defending the city.

"Get out of here!"

"Jingzhou traitor, don't you surrender soon?"

The Han soldiers below the city charged bravely, fiercely attacking the enemies on the city walls with spears and spears.

However, the Wei soldiers on the city walls were as well guarded as copper walls, and they worked together tacitly and closely cooperated, using bows and spears to fight back against the Han attack.

Blood gushed from the battlefield, and screams and death cries were intertwined, like the ghosts of the Nine Shadows.

The Han soldiers braved the rain of arrows and the bombardment of boulders to climb the city wall, and the soldiers who fell under the city wall were drenched in blood.

The soldiers of both Han and Wei sides inside and outside the city were killed in the brutal fighting, and the battlefield turned into a sea of blood.

However, it seems that the city of New Cai will never be captured.

Even if the Han army has spared no effort to attack, it is still the same.

The Wei soldiers on the city walls were tenacious and guarded every inch of land, no matter what the cost.

The Han army continued to charge, unwilling to give up, and the soldiers risked their lives in order to capture the city.

"Mingjin!"

Outside the city, Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and said, "It's been three days since I attacked, and if I attack again, Xincai won't be able to defeat it." ”

The Wei army had long been ready to defend the city.

Even though Zhuge Liang performed various moves in turn, he still couldn't take Xincai City, but instead threw thousands of corpses under the city.

Woo woo woo~

The sound of gold sounded, and the Han soldiers who were besieging the city retreated one after another like the sea at low tide.

And the Wei army in the city did not have the slightest intention of going out of the city to pursue.

is so cautious, only guarding and not fighting, so that Zhuge Liang is helpless against them.

Sometimes, the more you do, the more you get wrong.

If you don't do it, you can't go wrong.

is like the current defenders of Xincaicheng, when he comes out, Zhuge Liang can still find a way to ambush and eliminate the Wei army that came out.

But you don't mean to come out at all, how can I use it?

"Can Shenyang and Ancheng send troops to help?"

On Zhuge Liang's side, Huo Yi shook his head and said, "Shenyang and Ancheng are not moving, even if they are in Liyang, none of them have come out. ”

This is really the eighth king of the iron king.

Zhuge Liang really couldn't help them for a while.

Unless you concentrate all your forces and attack a city, it may be possible to capture the city.

But once all the forces are concentrated, will Pingyu, Nanton, and Maoyang still be defended?

It doesn't make any sense to gain one of the three cities and lose the other three.

"It's hard to do it!"

Sometimes it depends on the opponent.

If your opponent is on the same level as you, then resourcefulness is of little use.

Pure national strength.

Obviously, the current national strength of Han China is far inferior to that of Wei.

Especially now that it has been a few months of fighting in Runan City, in addition to the military strength, Jingzhou's logistical pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

Even if His Highness the Business Alliance will open up, it will be difficult to produce 100,000 military rations for a while.

"Perhaps, it's time to withdraw."

Originally, Liu Chan meant to storm the two cities of Shangcai and Xincai, mobilize Shenyang's troops, and thus take Shenyang.

However.

In the past few days, the onslaught of Shangcai and Xincai has not only prevented Shenyang, but also the cities where the rest of the Wei army is located.

In the two cities of Shangcai and Xincai, the Wei army simply operated it into an impregnable wall, and if you want to attack it, in addition to spending a huge price, it will take a lot of time.

It's hard!

"The matter has come to this point, first reply to the letter, I want to personally say a few words to His Highness."

Zang Ba was in civil strife, Jiangdong attacked Wei, and Cao Pi marched south.

This is indeed a good time to plan for Runan.

Even in order to achieve his goal, His Royal Highness also managed to make Cao Zhang rebel and seek to seize the throne of Wei, which once plunged the Wei State into decline.

Cao Pi even left Runan with the large army of Wei.

It seems that the Han army is about to win.

But that's just what it seems.

Cao Pi took away 100,000 troops, but in Runan, the number of Wei troops still numbered tens of thousands.

Compared with the Han army, it is indeed a little less people,

But if there are few people who don't want to win the battle, they only want to defend the city, and if they are turtles with shrunken heads, this layer of turtle shells is really difficult for the Han army to break.

If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid there will be no variables.

Jia Xu, Sima Yi

These two people will be my henchmen in the future!

"The military advisor wants to persuade His Highness to withdraw the army?"

Zhuge Liang nodded.

"This time through Runan, it is not without harvest, south of Nanrushui, several cities, plus Xinxi, are already under our control, Pingyu, Maoyang, Nanton The people of the three cities, there are as many as 10,000 households, if you can move to Jingzhou, it will be a kind of harvest."

Anyway, there is a shortage of people in Jingzhou now, even if Runan is taken, as a front line, it will be difficult to build Runan.

More people will go to Jingzhou and build Jingzhou into a land of fish and rice, and then there will be grain and grass, and there will be soldiers, and it will not be too late to attack Runan!

The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the steps are too big, and it is easy to pull the eggs.

This attack on Wei has gained enough benefits, and it is time to stop.

New Rest City.

Lobby.

Liu Chan looked at the military report from the front, his brows furrowed more and more, but in the end, he laughed out loud.

"Hehehe."

"Your Highness?"

Fei Yi looked at Liu Chan with some concern on the side, thinking that his Royal Highness had changed his mood greatly because of the bad situation on the front line!

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Liu Chan shook his head with a wry smile, but soon, the color of this wry smile also turned into relief.

"Perhaps, it's time to withdraw from Runan."

Fei Yi thought he had heard it wrong.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

"The words of His Highness are the heart of Liang."

Outside the hall, Zhuge Liang strode into the lobby.

Zhuge Liang's face was full of dust, and it was obvious that he was coming on a hurried march.

This hairstyle is messed up.

"Why did the military advisor come back?"

"That Jia Xu and Sima Yi are all the best advisers in the world, and they only defend the city, we have nothing to do with them, and I came here today to persuade His Highness to withdraw his troops."

If you don't go to Maoyang and Nanton before, you may be able to fight with them.

Huoyang Nanton took it down, but it became a shackle that restrained the Han army.

"Withdraw the troops, get a few cities, get more than 100,000 people, get tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and win the hearts of the Runan Shi people.

It's a big win!

But it's a pity .

It's not a complete victory.

"If that's the case, then withdraw the troops, but."

Liu Chan is not a mother-in-law, and the current situation is that it will not benefit the Han army if it lasts for a long time, so it will be withdrawn.

But if there is a glimmer of hope, he will fight for it!

"Maybe you can use a plan in the end, if this plan can lead the Wei army out of the city, there is still hope for passing through Runan."

The last resort?

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Liu Chan meant.

"Your Highness means"

Liu Chan nodded heavily.

"That's right, that's what the military advisor thinks!"

ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a happy family, good health, and all the best.

Number one should be able to be added.

The three more that are owed will be paid back quickly.

The bright moon hangs high like a jade plate, and tomorrow will be a sunny day!

No amount of trouble can be stopped, tomorrow

The sun rises as usual!

Gentlemen.

Share.
