As expected, the first section of the Liangzhou Army stationed in Jincheng sent reinforcements to the Taoshui River Valley.
Jincheng (Lanzhou) is right next to the northern part of Longxi County. The journey to Didao is much closer, so we will naturally arrive first.
However, the prefecture of Liangzhou, Wuwei County far away in the Hexi Corridor, could not mobilize the main force of the Liangzhou army so quickly, so there were not many soldiers and horses. Only a few people could ride fast horses. For example, Deng Ai, the governor of Liangzhou, rushed to the army.
.
The Jincheng Army went south along the Taoshui River Valley and stopped east of Guguan.
Deng Ai was not wearing armor or a helmet, and his head was covered with a straw hat. He had no plans to fight with the Shu army in the near future. He raised his head, lifted the straw hat slightly, looked at the direction of Guguan, and then let the brim of the straw hat hang down again.
, to block the dazzling sunlight.
He did not speak very fluently and did not speak much. He only said some important words. He briefly stated his judgment to the generals: Jiang Wei's capture of Didao was false, but his intention to eat Wei's reinforcements was true.
Therefore, Deng Ai did not continue southward to approach Didao, but only camped in the north. He did not cross the Tao River. The military camp was located on the west bank of the Tao River, northwest of Didao.
Deng Ai had fewer soldiers, but it would not be easy for Jiang Wei to kill him first.
At this time, Jiang Wei's army was outside Didao City on the east bank of the Tao River and was besieging Didao County. If the Shu army crossed the river and then attacked Deng Ai from the north, they would not be able to win with a small army; but if a heavy army attacked, Deng Ai would not be able to win.
Ai would definitely not stay where he was, so he turned around and headed north. But if the Shu army ignored Deng Ai at all, then Deng Ai might be able to find an opportunity to harass Jiang Wei's food route on the west bank of the Tao River.
Therefore, Deng Ai had no intention of saving Wang Jing. At least for now, he didn't care about Wang Jing's life or death.
Deng Ai also coined a word for himself, called the strong man's arm, which means that if the arm cannot be saved, it is better to cut it off than to watch it fester!
For this current plan, we can only wait until the Guanzhong Army arrives. Only when the Wei Army has sufficient strength can we find more fighters...
But Wang Jing was in Didao City at this time, and he could see through the autumn water.
He had clearly calculated the time and the reinforcements from Jincheng should have arrived, but he didn't see a single soldier! Apart from the enemy troops, he didn't see any other troops outside the city.
Looking out from the city tower of Didao City, there are enemy figures moving in all directions, literally surrounding Didao City. This situation alone makes people feel extremely depressed.
There is little rain in Longxi County in winter and the weather is cold, but it has not yet snowed. There are dense crowds of people and horses on the dry ground, and there is a smoky atmosphere all day long. However, there is obviously no fog in the air, and the nearby scenes are not clear. On the contrary,
It is the shadow of the mountains in the distance that is in front of my eyes.
In the haze of dust, the Shu army's camps and tents were spread out in a patchwork, and the edges could not be seen. As many people gathered in the Taoshui River Valley, Jiang Wei must have spent a lot of money on this Northern Expedition! I am afraid that the entire Shu army that can be mobilized will be almost
All brought out.
Wang Jing paced up and down on the city tower, watching helplessly as the enemy troops built fortifications under his nose. Even Gao Song built several watchtowers.
However, the Shu army had been besieging the city for nearly half a month, but they had not launched a single attack. They had been building various fortifications all day long, and sent people to transport soil to fill the moats in the four cities. They should also be building siege equipment at the same time.
Although Didao City is well-defended and can be considered a fortified city, it is only a small county town after all, and its scale is not large. The moat diverted from the Tao River is not very wide, and there is a lack of water in winter. The depth of the moat is greatly reduced, and the enemy has to fill in the moat.
The project was not big; after the Shu army's efforts, the moat had basically lost its function.
If we wait for the enemy to continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before Didao City is destroyed!
Wang Jing had nothing to do, except asking people to shoot arrows on the city wall. There was no reinforcements outside, and the defenders rushed out just to send away the corpses.
This feeling is like a person knowing that someone is going to kill him, but the other person is reluctant to do it. He watches helplessly as the other person is looking for a knife, sharpening it, and then trying it on his neck... It's like torture. !
Time gradually passed by late November, and it began to snow lightly in the sky.
At this time, the Shu army was basically ready to attack the city. With its superior strength, Wang Jing felt that Didao City was in danger! The key was that as time passed, the food and grass in the city became increasingly scarce.
Reinforcements haven't arrived yet!
Calculating the time, even the Guanzhong Army should be able to reach Longxi County. In the midst of suffering, Wang Jing even wondered if he had been abandoned by everyone?
In such a worried mood, Wang Jing could not sleep well at night.
Of course, it may also be because the armor on his body was not completely removed. He estimated that the enemy would soon launch an siege, and he did not dare to take off his armor at night, so it was indeed uncomfortable to sleep. The same goes for swords and other items. Keep it by the side at any time.
In the middle of the night on November 22nd, Wang Jing woke up again and climbed up from the collapse. After lying down again, he couldn't fall asleep. He then got up, picked up his sword and prepared to go out.
Several guards on duty were wrapping themselves in blankets and taking a nap. They stood up when they heard the noise. Wang Jing glanced at them and said, "Let's go and inspect various places."
The guards shrank their necks and glanced at the snow outside, looking a little reluctant, but they could only respond: "Here."
Amidst the light snowflakes, it was eerily quiet. It didn't look like a place with tens of thousands of people inside and outside. On a freezing night, everyone huddled in their houses. Only some soldiers on duty would occasionally come out. Appear on the city wall and patrol around.
Wang Jing walked around the west city, and after coming down, he remounted his horse and walked north along the city wall, preparing to wander around for a while before returning to the palace.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the distance. It seemed to be shouting "Qian Shi" vaguely, but I couldn't hear it clearly.
Wang Jingxun looked sideways, and when he listened again, the shouting from the north sounded again, this time more than one person shouted.
"Hurry over!" Wang Jing called to the people around him. Without thinking too much, he immediately grabbed the horse's belly and ran out.
The surrounding light was very dim, with only the faint torches on the city wall emitting a faint light. Fortunately, horses had much better eyesight than humans at night, so they could still run along the road.
After a while, Wang Jing rushed to the north city gate. The dim scene in front of him surprised him. He saw that a group of people had gathered here, and they were actually fighting!
Several people were dead on the ground, and one person who was still alive was crawling slowly in the snow. The remaining ten or twenty people were fighting with swords and guns, all of them were Wei soldiers. The light in the middle of the night was already weak, and for a while Wang Jing couldn't tell the difference. Not sure who is who!
On the sloped stone steps not far away, there were also some people fighting. It seemed that the people on duty in the city wanted to rush down, but were temporarily blocked.
At this time, the voice of Longxi County Governor Hu Fen came, shouting: "The rebels are going to open the city gate!" Wang Jing immediately noticed the most important thing from the chaotic scene. Sure enough, there were two people at the city gate, carrying The giant wooden bolt inside the city gate!
"Drive!" Wang Jing kicked the horse's belly fiercely, pulled out the Han sword at the same time, threw away the scabbard, and rushed towards the city gate. Two of the guards around him reacted quickly and followed immediately. There were people on the road.
Two armored soldiers who did not know whether they were friends or foes blocked the way, but the two men subconsciously dodged away from the shock of the sound of horse hooves.
Wang Jing, who was newly added to the melee, was able to rush to the city gate quickly. Seeing that he was about to hit the gate, he quickly reined in his horse. However, his mount found the obstacle earlier than Wang Jing. After an emergency stop, he raised his front hooves and shouted.
"Hiss..." he neighed.
Wang Jing said nothing, and when his mount turned, he turned sideways and struck with his sword! In the hazy light of the torch, the figure swayed, and a painful cry of "Ah!" came from Wang Jing. Wang Jing probably hit someone in the arm.
"Clang!" One end of a large piece of wood hit the ground, making a heavy sound.
Hu Fen's voice came from behind again: "Where is Dai Jue? General, please stay alive!"
Wang Jing was actually not familiar with who Dai Jue was, but he seemed to have some impression of the name. However, since Hu Fen reminded him, Wang Jing did not continue to kill. He jumped off the horse, and the accompanying guards also dismounted and rushed towards him together.
The one who was not injured was left.
After a while, the soldiers who rushed from the slope also came to cover them up. The rebels could no longer hold on, and it seemed that some of them wanted to surrender. But the light was not very clear, and the angry Wei soldiers did not care so much. They were cursing and going crazy.
The ground was chopped and poked, and the fishy smell in the cold air was nauseating... The smell was like the smell of fishing in the pond near the Chinese New Year, cold and fishy.
The battle soon came to an end. A general was pinned to the ground by several people. It was probably
Dai Jue as claimed by Hu Fen.
Wang Jing came to his senses and immediately climbed up the city wall along the slope. He stood behind the female wall and looked out into the dark night.
There were no torches in the area near the North City Gate, but after Wang Jing stared carefully for a while, he could already see vague figures moving in the darkness.
"Huh!" Wang Jing let out a long breath and immediately understood what was going on.
He was in a hurry to fight, but he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until this moment that he felt afraid. Thanks to his good luck tonight, otherwise the rebels would have opened the city gate, and the Shu troops who had been prepared outside rushed in. Then
The consequences are simply unimaginable!
At this time, most of the defenders are still sleeping, but the city is broken. What the Wei army will encounter is probably a massacre! If so, Wang Jing must not want to live anymore. After the battle is like this, how can he have the dignity to survive?
"Dong dong dong..." The heartbeat sounded in the chest, like a drum.
Wang Jing's mind suddenly sobered up. Despite his fear, he gradually felt a wave of anger welling up in his heart. Jiang Wei, who is like a dog, has so many troops, but he still uses this kind of female tactic against him!
Wang Jing was leaning on the female wall, completely disregarding his own image and demeanor, and yelled into the dark night: "Jiang Wei, I'm sorry for you!"
After a while, the enemy troops outside the city seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the female cadre's plan. The torches were lit one after another, and one group of lights lit up one after another. The enemy troops were no longer hiding, and the voices of people slowly became noisy.
Many people shouted insults at the city.
The outside of the city is still full of enemies, with no sign of reinforcements.
