"Jin Ni is coming again!"

"Brothers, draw the sword. Melee!"

It is the third day of April, and it has been ten days since the West City was attacked in full swing.

As time goes by, the Jin army soldiers attacked the city wall more and more times, and stayed in the chassis longer and longer. The Han army soldiers had to pay more and more to push them back.

However, Luo Xian, who had been frowning, had his expression becoming more and more relaxed.

"Take three hundred people from the reserve team in the city to support the brothers of the Western Wall."

"promise!"

"Transfer two hundred people from the north wall to support the east wall!"

"promise!"

At this time, Luo Xian was standing on a high observation deck in the center of the city, covering four gates in the east, south, west and north. He promptly allocated manpower according to changes in the battlefield, and used the limited troops in the city to the extreme.

"General Wei, you pulled out people from the north wall again. If Xiao Wang remembered correctly, there would be less than five hundred defenders in the north wall at this time. If Jin deviated from the north wall at this time..."

"Haha, don't worry, the attack from the North Wall is just a feint. Leaving five hundred people is enough."

"Why is this?"

"Because the enemy's troops are starting to lack them."

Looking at the King of Wei with a blank look, Luo Xian smiled slightly: "King, although this siege and defending the city has new trenchers and new defensive bastions, to win, it is ultimately necessary to rely on soldiers. That is, people. Do the king agree with this?"

“Yes.”

"When the attack and defense of Xicheng, ten days ago, when the Jin rebels first attacked, they dispatched about 40,000 to 50,000 troops and four gates to attack together. Our side had 7,000 defenders and 4,000 civilians to deal with it. So although the attack was the most powerful, our side did not struggle to defend."

"General Wei, please continue."

"Later, Jin Ni took advantage of the advantage of more troops and allowed the troops to attack the city in batches. Because Jin Ni had more troops, even if they attacked the city in batches, our army had to arrange most of the troops to fight. After a few days, our soldiers were exhausted and gradually felt difficult to defend the city wall. However, in any case, the attack and defense of the city walls were often the ones who suffered heavy casualties. So in ten days, although our army gradually reduced more than 2,000 people, and the civilians were also lost nearly half. However, the soldiers of Jin Ni were killed and injured, probably not less than 20,000. In this way, the remaining troops of Jin Ni could no longer maintain the previous four gates and attack at a high intensity at the same time."

"So when Jin Ni attacks the city now, he has to use a few sections of the city wall to feint attacks and restrain some of our troops. Create opportunities for the main section of the city wall?"

"The king clearly saw Wanli. In fact, before coming to this Xicheng, the foreign ministers were still entrusted to my grand sage. A city like Xicheng that can be attacked at any time can be defended by seven thousand people. If Jin Ni had a 100,000 army to attack the city this time, I am afraid that the foreign ministers could only defend for five or six days at most."

"Uh... General Wei, Xiao Wang, how can you tell which way is a feint attack and which way is the main attack?"

"Haha, king, this is the magic of using troops. It is often an intuitive question. Foreign ministers cannot give the king a detailed answer to this question. When the king experiences more wars in the future, he will continue to learn and summarize. Sooner or later he will develop such a feeling."

The people in the city are getting more and more relaxed, but the people in the city are getting worse and worse.

"King, as of today, the total casualties of the entire army have exceeded 23,000. The remaining soldiers are also showing signs of illness."

"What?!The disease begins?"

"Yes, the king. Following the military medical officer, spring has arrived, and the uniforms of our soldiers are still in winter clothes. Therefore, those who wear winter clothes often sweat profusely when they move. Without suitable spring clothes, they are prone to catch a cold after taking off the winter clothes. Therefore..."

"Bastard! The Yang Xiao who is in charge of the arsenal does not want to live, right? Aren't he afraid that the king will return to Luoyang to kill his three tribes?"

"Uh... King. You can't blame the arsenal for this matter. Spring outfits or something. The metropolitan general had already informed Luoyang two months ago for the arsenal to send it. However, on the way, most of the ships in spring outfits were burned down by the thief. The metropolitan general general general general had already written to Luoyang again, but the new spring outfit had not arrived yet."

"Hey~~~ I will write to Your Majesty myself later. Let Luoyang transport the seasonal clothing as soon as possible. In addition, the court will send additional medical officers and medicines."

"The king is polite and blessed by the soldiers."

"Don't talk about those useless ones. Although I don't know the war, I can see it. Although the traitor is at the end of his strength, our army is gradually feeling powerless."

"That's right, the king. Our army paid such a price and finally forced the thief to the end. It depends on who will not be able to hold on first. Therefore, the last general suggested that the king write a letter to the court and ask for reinforcements! Don't have too many, as long as there are 20,000 reinforcements, the west city will be destroyed!"

"...The country now has only 200,000 permanent troops. Will it take 80,000 people to attack the West City? Well, if there is no increase in troops, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Come and serve you, I will write a letter now."

"Report~~~~King! Generals! Report to Cao urgently!"

"What's the matter?"

"The Shu bandits sent troops from Hanzhong. On March 29, about 2,000 Sichuan bandits advanced east from Huangjin City. Judging from their banner, they were Zhang Yi, the fake chariot general!"

"Is it finally here? Well? March 29th? But now it's the third day of April!"

"The king forgives the crime. The mountain road is rugged. In addition, the scouts of the Sichuan thieves, Si Wen Cao is intercepting us, so the news is delivered a little slower."

Sima Jun waved his hand irritably, and asked the scout to retreat and said to everyone: "The war has reached such a critical moment, and the thieves of Shu are indeed coming to make a fuss. What can you do if you do this?"

After everyone under his command looked at each other, Liu Hong bowed and said, "King, this thief chief Zhang Yi, the general of the Mo has always been more cautious in his use of troops, but his opportunity has not been enough. So I think the enemy is still at least two or three days away from our camp. But because of such a cautious general, the general of the general thought that the reinforcements of the Shu bandits would not be only two thousand."

"Uncle He thought, how many soldiers and horses would be there for the Shu thieves this time?"

How do I know this?

But he soon didn't need to worry about this issue. Because at this moment, the southwest and northwest sides of the Jin army camp sounded at the same time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for war!"

Hearing such a voice, the people who were discussing the Central Army quickly walked out of the tent. Looking at the distance, they saw the basin where the army was stationed, and the mountains near its edge were waving and people were shaking. Even if the enemy was bluffing, if they wanted to create such a large formation, no matter what, the number of enemy troops was at least more than 10,000!

Not only that, the banner raised by the enemies on the mountain was not the General Zhang of the Carriage, but the General Jiang of Han!

"It was Jiang Boyou who came in person! It was Jiang Boyou who came in person..."

Now that the Jin army is attacking, the situation is very bad. The reason is that the Jin army has been in the city of Xicheng for too long. In more than three months, the only direction of attack of the Jin army here is Xicheng. Therefore, the defense of the Jin army camp has always been tight inside and loose outside: the arrow towers are densely distributed on the side of the Xicheng, and the village walls are simply reinforced with rammed earth. On the other side, facing the direction of the mountains behind the basin, it simply tied up wooden railings, and even the antlers and horse-resisting things are not installed.

Moreover, since the Jin army stationed here for several months has always taken the initiative to attack, except for Luo Xian who once brought his men out to attack the camp, there has been no attack in other directions. As the recent gradual shortage of troops, the commanders of the Jin army concentrated almost all of their troops to the front camp, which was close to the west city. The back camp was almost all accompanied by military, civilians and supplies.

"How is it possible? How could it be? How could Jiang Boyue lead so many people to silently approach our camp so close?!"

Having said that, the situation in Jiang Wei's team is actually very bad now: in order to secretly travel to the spies who were rushing to Cao, the Han army divided into dozens of small teams and came forward separately. The early detachment had already eaten up all the food carried by the detachment, and the subsequent troops' grain bags were already shriveled. In order to speed up, the last two thousand people abandoned all the supplies and advanced lightly. After marching for five days, they arrived here. The entire army had no food for a day!

If it weren't just that, the Han army's organization was completely in chaos at this time. Although everyone's momentum seemed amazing when they rushed down from the mountain, as long as the Jin army's back camp could withstand the last one or two hours, they would not be disrupted by the Han army. Then, it would be very simple to fight without organization.

The light army raided, disrupting the situation in chaos, and risked the entire army being wiped out in order to win. This kind of battle was indeed Jiang Wei's usual style.

"Don't be in chaos in the entire army! There are not too many thief troops!"

"All the back camp personnel retreated from the edge of the camp to the central army, and the central army soldiers organized on the spot and formed a formation!"

"The first to eighth schools of the front army will be transferred back!"

Although Sima Jun's face was already as bright as earth at this time and was worried and unaware of the reason, other officers of the Jin army responded quickly.

Unfortunately, the reaction was quick and the relevant instructions were correct. But the problem was execution.

At this time, the Jin army, the Jingzhou army, the Yangzhou army, and the Luoyang central army did not work together for too long. Especially the Luoyang central army, there were too many new recruits from all over the place, which often led to the disconnection of languages ​​in the team (in the past, when the Luoyang central army was in an orderly manner, the majority of veterans who knew Luoyang Mandarin accounted for, and a few new recruits only needed to follow the veterans to act). Such a team initially surrounded the enemy city and organized it slowly before acting. But now?

Soon, the army under Jiang Wei's army broke through the back camp and approached the central army in chaos. At this time, a large number of civilians and some new recruits in the back camp of the Jin army were in chaos.

"Bastard! They all entered the central army from both sides of the camp. Come on, send an order! Those who dare to rush into our central army array will shoot and kill them no matter whether they are enemies or not!"

However, before the messengers here could agree, there were noisy shouts in the other direction of the Jin army camp.

Luo Xian, who had been besieged for several months, led his army to rush out at the first time!
