Zhang Ren pointed to the map and said analytically: "The east is Hanzhong. Hanzhong is also the core of Wujiang. We can't go. There is only one road. To the west. How did we come and how do we go back? We retreated from the Qiang tribe to the west. cold!"
"General, what about Wudu?"
"Wudu County will definitely not be able to defend it. Even if the Wu army retreats, after they have prepared enough food, there will be a second and third siege. Sima Yi and I have already made up our minds, no matter whether I succeed in this battle or not , Ten days of siege, he will retreat to argue!"
Zhang Rendao: "We just need to ensure that our soldiers and horses can return to Xiliang safely!"
"Zhang Lie!"
"Now, you immediately lead [-] vanguard troops, set off overnight, open the way all the way, and wait for the main force to go west to meet us!"
"Yes!"
"Dianman!"
"exist!"
"This general will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you lead three thousand soldiers and horses, if you can escape the Wu army's attack and return to Xiliang, your merits and demerits will be equal!"
"No!" Dianman nodded heavily.
"Now pass on my military order. All the soldiers in the army will have a good rest tonight, recharge their batteries, and retreat immediately tomorrow morning!" Zhang Ren said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The generals nodded their heads and began to prepare for the retreat.
"Zhang Lin!"
Zhang Ren thought for a while, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes.
"General!"
The military guards of the personal guards came up.
"Go and prepare, and burn Baima Pass to me!" Zhang Ren raised his head, looking at the majestic Baima Pass coldly: "I want to turn this pass into a ruin, without the transit of Baima Pass, in the Strategically, we can greatly delay the Wu army's campaign against Xiliang!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Lin nodded and led Zhang Ren's personal guards to complete the task. (To be continued.)
[Chapter 140 of the main text, Dragon and Tiger Fighting 22]
Just when the Guancheng of Baimaguan was engulfed in flames, the offensive and defensive battle in Xiabiancheng, Wudu County had reached its worst point.
What Wu Jun used was the strategy of surrounding three and missing one.
The three city gates in the southeast and west are all in a fierce attack, but relatively speaking, the north is quiet. This is a gap left by the Wu army to the Wei army.
The West City Gate battlefield is the most ruthless battlefield.
The No.14 army was determined to fight this battle. In order to win the first victory in this battle, Meng Huo, the king of the Nanman, had already given up his all. of the city.
"Boys, kill them!"
"Ladder, go up the ladder!"
"Catapult, smash it for me, smash it to make a gap!"
"Break into the city car, smash into the city gate!"
"Your son of the Nanman tribe, we have no cowards, kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Go forward, go forward!"
The soldiers of the No.14 army are basically the tribesmen of the Nanman tribe. They were all people who were killed from the mountains in the past. They fought against the sky and the earth. In order to survive, they were born with a fierceness in their bones.
So there is also an unprecedented momentum when fighting.
Known as the most powerful army of the two legions of Bashu and Zhanxiang, it is by no means a false name.
"Damn it, I was almost able to open that gap, but I was still blasted down!"
General Meng Huo stood in the command tent under the city, raised his head, and looked at the offensive and defensive battle on the city wall through the lens of the telescope. His face sank, his arms tensed tightly, and blood burst from the wound wrapped in white gauze.
During the storming battles in the past few days, as an army commander, he has taken the lead in the charge three times in a row, but he was bombed down and injured, which made him feel manic.
It's not that the defenders are strong, but the general who defends the city is too tenacious.
At this point, the Wei army suffered a lot of casualties, and he still defended it.
Now that this battle continues like this, I am afraid that it will become a war of attrition for both sides. If the tenacity of the opponent's general cannot be defeated, they will not be able to enter even if they charge violently.
In fact, the strength of the Wei army is not strong, but their combat effectiveness is very tenacious.
"Wu Han, you take the only part left beside me, and dispatch the gap on the left. Be sure to block this gap, and prevent Wu Jun from entering!"
"Yes!"
"Also, relax the city wall on the right wing, wait until the attack comes up and draw the bow and shoot arrows, we don't have many arrows!"
"Yes!"
"..."
Wu Lan, the defender of the Wei army, is also considered a mighty general. As the number one general under Zhang Ren's command, Zhang Ren is good at attacking, but he is naturally good at defending. He can be regarded as Zhang Ren's powerful arm. The strategy complements the shortcomings of insufficient troops.
Let the Wu army under the city continue to attack for five consecutive days without any progress.
under the city.
Meng Huo stared at the top of the wall: "No, I have to charge again!"
"Husband, don't be in a hurry to break the city. The soldiers are actually very tired from our continuous assault on the city wall these days. Why don't we retreat first and take a rest!" Mrs. Zhu Rong suggested.
"Ma'am, you must not withdraw at this time!"
Meng Huo shook his head resolutely when he heard the words: "Now we are fighting with the Wei army. If we withdraw our troops at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to build up the scale of today's attack even within half a month!"
Sometimes in war, you have to bite your breath to fight hard. Once the spirit is relaxed, it will take a long time to slow down before you can recover your morale.
At this time, he absolutely cannot retreat.
"Ma'am, you are at the headquarters to command and coordinate the attacks of several divisions. I will go into battle in person and organize a violent attack and defense. A gap was opened in the left city wall by our trebuchet yesterday. This is the easiest way to get in!"
Meng Huo put on his helmet, picked up the thick-backed sword, walked out of the command tent, personally led the death squad, and charged fiercely towards the front wall.
