Sima Yi would not agree to Qian Hong and Zhou Dang's invitation to fight.
The lessons learned from the Battle of Nishui River Valley cannot be used as a guide for future events!
Moreover, when he agreed to Qian Hong's request for war, he had always thought of giving it a try. If he could be disturbed, he would disturb him, and if he could not be disturbed, he would stop his troops. Since he had tested out that the Han army did not have many troops in Longdong, there was no way for him to attack Qian.
The possibility of the county, the purpose is already there, why bother to ask for orders again?
Furthermore, he was going to send troops to rescue Chencang City in advance.
There is no need for a war to break out in Anding County to avoid causing complications.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, he wrote a letter to Qixian County.
To be precise, it is an order.
Wang Sheng's headquarters continued to guard Qixian County as before, and he ordered Qianhong to leave. Zhou Dang and Wang Qi each led their headquarters to Yongxian County via Qishui, and joined forces with Sun Li's army to conquer Shu.
Its intention is to guard against Zheng Pu's tribe.
He was worried that when he would lead a large army into a fierce battle with Wei Yan's tribe who was encircling the area for reinforcements, Zheng Pu would quietly mobilize troops from Longdong to defeat Sun Li's tribe and attack him southward.
Likewise, the army originally stationed in Chang'an also began to move out and came to the west of Beiyuan to garrison.
This kind of arrangement can be regarded as a deliberate effort to accomplish all the results in one battle.
The only shortcoming is that Qianhong and Zhou Dang's troops have been deployed for quite some time. They need two or three days to rest and recuperate when they return to Yong County. This also makes his original plan to lead the army to break the siege of Chencang in five days.
Eight days later.
However, it is only delayed for three more days, so the Guo Huai Department should have nothing to worry about, right?
Sima Yi gently put the pen on the case, dried the ink on the letter, and asked the messenger to carry it away quickly. He slowly walked out of the Chinese army tent and looked up in the direction of Chencang City.
.....................
"In ten days at most, the Commander-in-Chief's reinforcements will arrive! All the soldiers will work hard and honor their families by defending to the death!"
On top of Chencang City, Guo Huai encouraged his soldiers to fight to the death.
Yes, he felt that he could still defend the outer city for ten days.
Although many crenellations outside the city are now damaged, making it easier for the Han army to board, and the more than 10,000 defenders in the city have suffered more than 4,000 casualties, equipment such as thunder carts, bed crossbows and wooden castles are all damaged, and anointing oil and wood are also consumed
Even the arrows and crossbows were running out, but he still had such confidence.
The reason is that the Han army suffered more casualties and could no longer continue to attack day and night.
The soldiers had time to rest and had already overcome the initial hardship. With the expectation that a large army would come to rescue them, what was the difficulty in holding on for ten more days?
In fact, his judgment is very reasonable.
In the Han military camp outside the west city gate, the prime minister, dressed in white as snow, watched the Han soldiers returning to camp in the afterglow of the setting sun, and did not get off the chariot for a long time.
Even after watching the battle for a day, he was already hungry and his legs ached unbearably from standing there for too long.
The difficulty of attacking Chencang was beyond everyone's expectations.
The Han army continued to attack for more than ten days without hesitation, leaving corpses lying everywhere under the city, but there was still no sign of the city's destruction.
Yes, not at all.
During the daily strong attacks, Han soldiers were able to scale the city walls, but they were never able to gain a foothold.
Before the follow-up soldiers surged up, they were driven off the city wall.
In other words, Guo Huai's general strategy is too good.
Having served in the land of Yongliang for many years, he was very good at gaining the strength of the soldiers. When defending the city, hundreds of troops were reserved fifty steps apart for each section of the city wall. Once the Han army climbed onto the city wall, they would rush to support them.
.Let the seemingly precarious defense always maintain the situation of defeating the few with the masses, which made countless Han soldiers hate and stop in the melancholy that they were about to be defeated but could not be defeated.
"Prime Minister, it's time to use the evening meal."
I don't know how long it took, but Guan Xing, who was promoted to the city governor, came under the chariot, raised his head and called loudly.
"good."
The prime minister, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned his head and motioned to the soldier beside him to lower the chariot.
As soon as he landed, Guan Xing came over to help him very carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister, if we don't attack the city the next day, I will lead my troops to get there first."
Um?
As a general, you should be able to control the situation from the center. How can you have the thought of risking the stone arrows and ants?
After a slight pause in his steps, the Prime Minister frowned and looked sideways. When he saw guilt and hope intertwined in Guan Xing's eyes, he calmed down and continued to move forward.
He knew Guan Xing's difficulties.
In this attack, Guan Xing and Wu Ban each commanded 20,000 soldiers to attack the west and north city walls.
It has been nearly a month since the clearing of obstacles outside the city began. Han soldiers have suffered more than 15,000 casualties, but there is still no hope of breaking the city.
In this way, the vigor of the soldiers inevitably waned.
In other words, this was also the reason why Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang in Wei Dynasty, who had an army of more than 100,000, stationed troops on the side, but never came to rescue him.
It will be decided to wait for work and wait for the Han army to be tired before fighting again.
Guan Xing, who was promoted to city governor, attributed this situation to his own inability to supervise the war.
Therefore, I decided to use my own personal risk to inspire the soldiers to be more energetic and try their best to see if they could break the deadlock.
But the prime minister didn't want to grant his request. There were too few generals in the Han Dynasty, and there were even fewer talents like Guan Xing. How could he be allowed to risk his own life?
"Prime Minister, I am not trying to show off my courage, but this is what I think."
Seeing that the Prime Minister was noncommittal, Guan Xing hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Our army has not attacked the fortress at night for four days. The defenders of the Wei Dynasty must have thought that it was difficult for our army to continue. Therefore, I think that after the attack during the day the next day, we will attack the fortress three times at night."
During the watch, I will personally supervise the troops to attack again, attract all the defenders to the west wall, and then ask Jiang Boyue to send thousands of soldiers and horses to sneak in from the south wall with ropes to see if there is a chance of success."
Making noises in the east and attacking in the west...
After listening, the prime minister understood clearly.
Three days ago, Jiang Wei, who had more than ten thousand tiger infantry troops camped on the south bank of the Wei River, wrote a letter to ask for instructions on the pretext that there was no Wei army attacking there, asking if he needed half of his troops to come to the west gate.
Or allow him to try to steal the city with a rope at night.
At that time, the prime minister rejected it.
Because he felt that Guo Huai, who had been in the army for a long time, could not help but guard against the Han army stealing the city at night.
But now Guan Xing mentioned it again and planned to personally lead the troops to create opportunities for Jiang Wei's troops. He felt that instead of continuing to waste the lives of the soldiers like this, it was better to fight to the death.
As for whether it can be successful~~
In any case, if the attempt to steal the city fails, the casualties of the soldiers will not be less than during the attack.
"inappropriate."
However, the Prime Minister did not think so, "An Guo has thought that if he fails to steal the city, our army's morale may be completely lost and it will be difficult to attack the city again! Let's do this. I will ask Bo Yue to send four thousand soldiers to your control. Although the defenders against Wei
We will resist stubbornly, but if our army continues to attack for ten more days, we will be able to break it! Don't be hasty and waste all your previous efforts."
After saying this, without waiting for Guan Xing to say anything, the Prime Minister added quickly, "There is no need to worry about Sima Yi's troops coming to rescue us. Wen Chang and Zijin are the horns of each other and refuse to fight. If we go against Wei, we will not be able to cross the Lishui River."
Guan Xing could not refute this.
He opened his mouth and finally said, "No."
