The sun is setting in the west, and the lazy sunshine finally shines on the earth. After a while, night will probably fall.
Both sides tacitly chose a truce and each cleaned up the battlefield.
Just as Wen Zhong thought, after clearing out all the Jin soldiers who had climbed up the city wall, no matter how brave Huang Tianhua was, he had to retreat from the city temporarily.
Just the three of them, no matter how fierce they are, if there are no soldiers around to protect them, they will be drowned in the sea of Chu army in a short time.
After that, although Zheng Huai, Yue Lun, and Li Cunxiao took turns to fight, they never climbed onto the city wall again. Especially when Deng Yu discovered Li Cunxiao's figure on the battlefield, he specially sent Zhang Jie to detach 500 light and heavy crossbowmen.
Staring at Li Cunxiao, even the crossbow was set up on the bed, not even giving Li Cunxiao a chance to get close to the city wall.
On the city wall, Wen Zhong sent people to carry the seriously injured Xin Huan and Deng Zhong down. He couldn't help but sigh softly. The day was over, but he didn't know how long they could hold on.
Under the city wall, Yue Fei sent groups of soldiers to collect the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle. At this time, although the Jin army was still within the shooting range of the Chu army on the city wall, the Chu army did not continue to take action.
This is also an unwritten rule on ancient battlefields.
What's more, so many soldiers from both sides died in the battle. If they are not properly arranged, once a plague occurs, it will be a disaster for both of them.
"No, we can't continue like this, otherwise, Wancheng will be lost sooner or later!" In the hall, Wen Zhong couldn't help but said angrily as he looked at the generals who were dejected and at a loss.
"If General Wen has any ideas, just say so!" Deng Yu said with an equally ugly expression.
After today's battle, they directly lost 1,500 soldiers, although they also caused less than 3,000 casualties to the Jin army. But if they continue to fight like this, they will not be able to sustain it for long.
Wancheng is not a small city. Once the number of soldiers defending the city drops to a certain level, even the most basic defense will not be able to form, and it will be full of flaws. At that time, what can they do to resist the attacks of famous generals like Yue Fei?
.
"We must think of every possible way to burn down the catapults and carts of the Jin army!" Wen Zhong stood up and said firmly.
These days, the firepower of the Jin army is really suppressing them. The Chu army where Wan Zhan is located are the most elite troops in northern Jingbei, and they are sitting in a strong city like Wancheng, but they still can barely inflict damage to the enemy.
The casualty ratio of one to two is inseparable from the enemy's endless siege machinery. Without these siege machinery, Wenzhong is sure to increase the casualty ratio to one to three.
Therefore, only by destroying all the enemy's siege equipment can they find hope of defending Wancheng.
Hearing this, the generals sighed helplessly. The truth is the same, but the actual operation is really troublesome. The Jin army will definitely guard the siege equipment such as catapults and building carts, and they want to take them.
Burning it down is simply harder than climbing to the sky.
"I will lead five thousand soldiers to attack Yue Fei's camp to attract the Jin army's attention. Then I will choose another general and lead three thousand soldiers to attack where the Jin army's siege equipment is. We may succeed." Wen Zhongyun said calmly, afterwards
It's just like talking about trivial things.
"No, Master, just let my disciple lead the troops forward. He will live up to Master's high expectations!" Yu Qing stood up and bowed respectfully to Wen Zhong, and then said solemnly, with a decisive look on his face.
, no one who sees it will doubt his sincerity.
"Master, my disciple is also willing to go on Master's behalf!" Ji Li also prostrated himself in front of Wen Zhong and said with a sad face.
Wen Zhong said that he attracted the attention of the Jin army, but at the same time he was just going to die. Even if Wen Zhong succeeded in the end, he had no hope of coming back alive. He wanted to die in exchange for someone who could defend Wancheng.
Opportunity.
As the commander-in-chief, Yue Fei's camp must be tightly defended. Moreover, where the commander-in-chief is, a series of Jin army generals such as Li Cunxiao, Yue Lun, and Huang Tianhua must be guarding the surrounding area to protect the commander's safety. Wen Zhong went to attack Yue Fei.
The camp is tantamount to sending oneself into the tiger's mouth.
Wen Zhong looked at his two disciples with a pleased expression, stretched out his hand to help them up, and then said firmly, "If you want to attract the attention of the Jin army, you must choose a person with weight."
Okay, in this Wancheng, only General Deng and I have this qualification. As the commander-in-chief of an army, how can General Deng easily take risks? After thinking about it, I can only take this step.
Damn it!"
"General Wen..." On the throne, as the commander-in-chief, Deng Yu stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
Wen Zhong is right. If you want to achieve this, Wen Zhong is the best candidate. It can even be said that Wen Zhong is the only candidate.
This time, Deng Yu himself was absolutely not allowed to go, not because Deng Yu was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because Deng Yu was the commander-in-chief of an army. If he died in battle, it would have a huge impact on the morale of the army.
In fact, it is possible that even if the plan succeeds this time, it will only end up with a loss that outweighs the gain.
"Hahaha, General Wen is so proud!" Fu Kuang stood up and saluted Wen Zhong first. This was a sign of respect for a veteran general in the army who regarded death as home. Then he said to the general Deng Yu, "General, here you go.
I have three thousand talents who dare to die, and if you give me enough fire oil, I will eventually assist General Wen to accomplish this!"
As he said this, Fu Kuang's eyes suddenly showed a desire to die. Wen Zhong dared to fight to the death. Could it be that the rest of them were just afraid of death?
Fukuang, whose courtesy name was Yuanbi, was also a local talent from Jingzhou. He was active from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the middle period of the Shu Kingdom, and was a native of Xiangyang, Nanjun.
He served Liu Biao in the early days. After Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, he defected to Liu Bei. Later, he followed Liu Bei to Shu. After pacifying Yizhou, he served as the prefect of Bajun due to his meritorious service, and his position was prominent. You must know that Bajun is one of the throats that Jingzhou must pass through when entering Shu.
The strategic position is extremely important. Since Liu Bei is willing to hand over such a position to him, it shows his trust in this person.
"General Wen, General Auxiliary..." In the hall, all the generals, big and small, became moved.
At this moment, they are full of confidence in this war. Even if they are temporarily in a state of defeat, they believe that they will definitely win in the end.
Generals are not afraid of death and dare to use their lives. As long as they are united, how can there be any reason for failure?
