Just when the Guancheng of Baima Pass was in a sea of fire, an offensive and defensive battle in Xiabiancheng, Wudu County, had reached the most tragic point.
The Wu army used the strategy of encircling three and missing one.
The three city gates in the south, east and west were all a fierce attack, while relatively speaking, the north was quiet, which was a gap left by the Wu army to the Wei army.
The battlefield of the West City Gate is one of the most ruthless battlefields.
The 14th Army was ruthless in this battle, in order to seize the first merit of this battle, Meng Huo, the king of the Southern Barbarians, was completely out of the way at this time, and personally went into battle, commanding the soldiers to go forward one after another, like waves to impact the city in front of him.
"Sons, kill it" "Ladder, ladder up" "Trebuchet, smash it for me, smash it open a gap" "Crash the car, crash open the gates" "The sons of the Nanban tribe, we don't have a bad seed, kill and kill" "Forward, Forward" The soldiers of the 14th Army are basically the clansmen of the Nanban tribe, they were all killed from the mountains in the past, fighting with the sky and the earth, in order to survive, they were born with a ruthless spirit in their bones.
So there is also a momentum of 10,000 indomitable in the fight.
It is known as the most powerful army in the two legions of Bashu and War Elephant, and it is by no means in vain.
"Damn, I almost opened that gap, but it still got knocked down" The main general, Meng Shu, stood in the command tent under the city, raised his head, looked at the offensive and defensive battles on the city wall from the lens of the telescope, his face sank, his arms tightened hard, and the wound wrapped in the white gauze burst into blood.
In the past few days of strong offensive battles, as a military commander, he has taken the lead in charging three times in a row, but he was bombarded down and injured, which made him feel manic.
It's not that the defenders of the city are strong, it's that the main generals defending the city are too tenacious.
At this point, the casualties of the Wei army were not small, and he actually held on.
Now that this battle continues like this, I am afraid that it will become a war of attrition between the two sides, and they will not be able to break the tenacity of the opposing general, even if they charge fiercely, they will not be able to enter.
In fact, the Wei army was not strong, but the combat effectiveness they showed was very tenacious.
"Wu Han, you take the only remaining troops around me and dispatch the gap on the left, be sure to plug this gap, and don't let the Wu army enter" "Yes" "Also, relax the wall on the right flank a little, and wait until the attack comes up to draw the bow and shoot arrows, we don't have many arrows" "Yes" “” Wu Lan, the defender of the Wei army, is also a fierce general, as the first general under Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren is good at attacking, but he is naturally good at defending, and he is Zhang Ren's right-hand man.
Let the Wu army under the city really attack for five consecutive days, and there is no progress.
Under the city.
Meng Shu stared at the city: "No, I have to charge again" "Husband, we must not be in a hurry about the destruction of the city, under our continuous attack on the city wall in the past few days, the soldiers are actually very tired, it is better for us to withdraw and rest first," Mrs.
Zhu Rong suggested.
"Madam, you must not withdraw at this time" When Meng heard this, he shook his head firmly: "Now that we are fighting with the Wei army, if we withdraw our troops at this time, I am afraid that even within half a month, we will not be able to form the current scale of the attack."
Fighting a war is sometimes a matter of biting a breath to force the fight to continue, and once the spirit is relaxed, it will take a long time to slow down and not be able to breathe down in order to restore morale.
At this time, he must not retreat.
"Madam, you are in command at the command headquarters, coordinating the attacks of several divisions, and I will personally go into battle and organize a fierce attack and defense, the left wall was opened a gap by our trebuchets yesterday, and this is the easiest place to kill" Meng Shu put on his helmet, directly picked up the thick-backed broadsword, walked out of the command tent, personally led the death squad, and charged fiercely towards the city wall in front.
The west city gate is the most hated, the ground shakes the mountains, but the battle between the east and south city gates is also very fierce, the Wu army in order to break the city, go forward to attack one after another, and do not hesitate to die under this city wall one by one.
East City Gate.
Chen Zhi's face was a little tired, they had maintained a high-intensity attack that had not lasted for a day and a night, but they were still blocked.
His eyes were gloomy, staring at the strong city gate in front of him, there was a trace of indifference in his expression, and he was full of awe: "It seems that they want to defend to the death, come here, and prepare to send the Twelfth Army from the north back."
"Commander, if the Twelfth Army is sent back, will it allow the Wei army to escape?"
asked a staff officer.
"Leave the cavalry division of the 33rd Division in Qishan" Chen Zhi thought for a while and said: "The rest of the soldiers and horses, all for me to throw into this bloody battle, I must break the city" The Twelfth Army remained in the north to deal with the gap in the encirclement.
"Report" At this time, a herald came on horseback.
"Say," Chen Zhi looked at this person and frowned slightly.
"Commander, this is an urgent battle report from Baima Pass" The herald handed over a sealed battle report with both hands.
"Gu Shi, you come to read it, and say the content directly" "Yes" A staff officer of the headquarters walked out, picked up the letter, looked at it, and his face changed greatly: "Commander, it said that three days ago, Zhang Renbing came to Baima Pass, and in the early morning of this day, Baima Pass has been lost, most of the materials in the pass have been burned, and only forty percent of the grain remains, which is not enough to support us to complete the offensive and defend and kill the logistics of Sima Yi's department.
"Wai" When Chen Zhi heard this, his heart trembled, and his eyes were awe-inspiring.
A few days ago, when he felt that Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses were going to attack Baima Pass, he was ready to do so, and Baima Pass was burned to the ground, which was also counted as his expectation, after all, if Zhang Ren attacked Baima Pass, it would be impossible to hold it.
At that time, it was too late to help, even if you wanted to.
So in the past few days, he has been attacking the city impatiently, just to attack it, before Zhang Ren takes the White Horse Pass, he will take down the lower defense and eat the Wei army in the city, however, he failed.
However, under this situation, Zhuge Liang not only saved his life, but also saved forty percent of the grain stored in the city, which can be regarded as a stable situation, and will not collapse for thousands of miles.
But what does Zhuge Liang mean by circumference "What else does the Zhuge Overseer have to say?"
asked Chen Zhi.
"Zhuge Overseer also instructed a little, since we can't keep them anymore, let them go" "Let them go" Chen Zhi understood that now this battle has changed from consuming the new strength of the Wei army to forcing them to leave Wudu and occupy Wudu for the purpose.
But he was a little unwilling in his heart.
The previous strategic goal was to annihilate the defenders in the city.
As long as this force is taken, the Wei army will not be able to keep Xiliang.

He knew that he had this ability, with the troops he led from Chen to now, under the siege of three sides, the Wei army in the city would not be able to bear it sooner or later, and he only invested in the eleventh army in this battle, and he also had a twelfth army.
It is possible to annihilate them so that none of them can escape.
But now because Baima Pass has been burned down, he can't keep his logistics.
Without logistics, the war could not last long.
If the Wei army in the city dragged it, he couldn't do anything.
"Pass on my military orders" Chen Zhi was silent for a long time, although he was unwilling, but he always focused on the overall situation: "The Fourteenth Army at the West City Gate, the Tenth Army and the Eleventh Army at the South City Gate, and the Ninth Army that was attacking in front of them, all stopped attacking, retreated for three miles, and set up camp, as for the Twelfth Army in the north, stay in the north, as long as the Wei army appears, ambush them" "No" Several staff officers of the headquarters took the military order issued by Chen Zhi, turned over their horses, and immediately went to the various city gates to pass it.
"At this time, give up the attack on the city of Lower Defense" Fa Zheng received the order, his eyes narrowed slightly, he knew the reason somewhat, it seemed that Baima Pass was not saved, he sighed, a little helpless to go helpless: "Pass the order, the whole army will immediately retreat three miles" "Yes" The offensive and defensive battle at the South City Gate stopped with a military order from Fazheng.
"What, retreat" Meng Shu of the West City Gate looked at the military order of the headquarters, and his teeth were about to be crushed: "We will be able to take the West City Gate soon, retreat at this time, why, you give me a reason" "Commander Meng, a military order is a military order, there is no reason" "Could it be that the soldiers under my command died in vain," Meng Shu was indignant.
"Commander Meng, it's not just your 14th, 9th, 10th, and 11th armies that have withdrawn, and from now on, the siege strategy has changed from a strong attack to a siege."
"What" Meng was taken aback: "How is this possible?"
"Commander Meng, there is a choice, the commander is not willing to withdraw the troops, let me tell you the reason, the Baima Pass in our rear was burned by Zhang Ren of the Wei army, if you don't withdraw the troops, do you plan to let your soldiers starve to death here" The staff officer said coldly.
"Husband" Mrs.
Zhurong persuaded: "At this time, we must withdraw from the army" "Yinhuan Hara, immediately pass on my military order" Meng Shu closed his eyes, his cold face was hideous, and he said word by word: "All the officers and men of the Fourteenth Army, suspend the offensive, retreat three miles, and set up camp."
"Yes" The guards nodded and went to pass the military order.
Soon, the soldiers of the Wu army at the West City Gate receded like a tide.
"The Wu army has retreated" At the head of the west city gate, Wu Lan, the commander of the Wei army, watched the black tide reced, and the whole person was a little prostration: "Send someone to summon General Sima immediately" "Yes" A soldier nodded in agreement.
Sima Yi, who was in the big camp in the city to discuss the battle situation, was also relieved an hour after receiving the news that the Wu army had suddenly retreated three miles and gave up the strong attack.
"General, what do you mean when Wu Jun retreats at this time" Yang Xiu strode in and asked puzzled.
"Zhang Ren should have succeeded" Sima Yi said affirmatively.
"In this way, Baima Pass has been taken by us," Yang Xiu was happy.
"I don't know what the specific battle situation is, but the current situation, the military capital can't be saved" Sima Yi said: "Fortunately, we have received the holy decree of His Majesty, and we can withdraw our troops, otherwise I am afraid that we will be outside and the military order will not be accepted."
He had already predicted that he would withdraw his troops from Xiliang, but he never received the imperial decree, which made him feel a little upset in his heart.
Now that the decree is made, he can withdraw his troops at will.
"What about General Zhang Ren?"
"He should have prepared himself, but now he can only rely on them to come out on their own" Sima Yi said lightly: "Dezu, you go and prepare, let the soldiers recuperate, and tomorrow night, we will withdraw our troops to debate" "Where to withdraw" "Nature is the North City" "The siege is missing one, the north city is a gap, although the Wu army did not attack, but there must be defenses outside the city" "Their defense is at most in the direction of Qishan, but they will not be on guard in Guanzhong in the northeast, we will not go to Xiliang this time, we will retreat from Guanzhong, and then enter Xiliang from Guanzhong" Sima Yi was prepared.
"No" Yang Xiu nodded and took the order.
"This is just the beginning, Zhuge Kongming, I'm waiting for you in Xiliang" Sima Yi raised his head and looked at the blue sky, with a strong sense of war in his eyes.
In this battle, he kept the main force and won half of the battle. t1706231537:
