The main camp of the Wei army and the tent of the Chinese army.
Sima Yi sat behind the case, looking through the official documents in his hand leisurely. His eldest son, Sima Shi, stood aside holding his sword, silent, but the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and glanced at Sima Yi from time to time.
He was worried about the scene he just saw. Ever since the word "汉" appeared strangely in the night sky, he could clearly feel the strange atmosphere permeating the camp. Countless soldiers raised their necks and looked at that word with eyes filled with tears.
They were all terrified. But there was a burst of cheers from the top of Fangling City, like a strong wind or a huge wave, making the atmosphere in the camp even more depressing, and the morale that had been declining in the past few days plummeted even further.
The Sima family in Wen County has Confucianism and does not believe in these strange things. But he does not believe it, which does not mean that others do not believe it. The army has marched for more than a thousand miles, and what they want is to go all out. Now they have been attacking the city for more than ten days.
When they were successful, the Shu Han army came to help, which was really not good news for them.
He once again cast his hopeful gaze on his father. He could also guess his father's frustration at the moment, but he hoped that his father would stand up and say something, even if these words may not be useful.
"Zi Yuan, do you have something to say?" Sima Yi gently closed the document, twisted his neck slightly, raised his hand and pinched his brow, and asked calmly.
"Yes, father, there is a bit of panic in the camp now. Is father..."
Sima Yi interrupted Sima Shi: "Why are you panicking, just because of reinforcements?"
Master Sima nodded heavily: "Yes, many people said that when the Shu army arrived, we were attacked from both sides. There is a strong city in front and a strong enemy behind us. It is not suitable to fight for a long time. We should..."
"Should we immediately shrink our troops and set up camp for a long-term plan?"
Master Sima stopped talking. Since his father already knew everything, there was no point in talking anymore.
"What's wrong with a short-sighted person?" Sima Yi put down his hand, tilted his head, and looked at Master Sima: "Ziyuan, what do you think?"
Master Sima thought for a while: "Father, these people came over the Zhushan Mountain. They must be a strange force. There won't be too many of them. We can definitely repel them."
"Since there won't be too many people, why bother?" Sima Yi stood up and paced slowly in the tent with his hands behind his back. "They came all the way to help, but they only released the news on the top of the mountain instead of raiding our army.
Their intention is very clear, they just want to embolden Meng Da, but they cannot take the initiative to attack our army. Therefore, our enemy is still Meng Da in the city, not those young people who dare not show up."
"But if they are there, Mengda will think that reinforcements are coming, which is bad for our morale."
"Meng Da is already a fish at the bottom of the cauldron and only has his last breath left." Sima Yi waved his sleeves and dismissed it: "Seeing the reinforcements coming, his morale may be slightly boosted, but this is nothing like the reflection of the light before death.
There is not much difference. Our army has traveled a long distance and is short of food and fodder, so we can only fight quickly. If we delay for one more day, we will be in danger for another day. At this time, dividing our troops to attack those people has no meaning except to waste time and energy.
, we should gather all our strength to completely eliminate Mengda."
He raised his head, looked through the tent door, towards Fangling City in the distance, and sighed softly. "The only thing I'm worried about is that once these people come, those people in the city who are already interested will change their minds and hesitate.
They are undecided and unwilling to attack Mengda. If they want to attack the city by force, it will be very detrimental to our army. They... came at the wrong time. I didn’t expect Zhuge Liang to have such a general. Ziyuan, who do you think it could be?
?”
Master Sima shook his head: "I can't guess. As far as I know, there are only a few generals in the Shu army who are courageous and familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong. However, based on their identity and status, they should not be Zhuge Qiao's subordinates.
Next. And among those who are willing to serve Zhuge Qiao as their main general, it seems that none of them are truly talented and practical."
"Yes, this is what I am most worried about." Sima Yi slowly withdrew his gaze: "It is a foregone conclusion that the world will be divided into three parts. I estimate that in less than twenty years, it will be difficult for the world to regain unity. The future victory or defeat will be determined not only by
It’s not just national strength, it’s also talent. It’s not just the talent now, but also the talent in the future. A talent from Shu Han will be a bigger threat to our Wei Dynasty.”
Master Sima remained silent.
…
Inside Fangling City, it was a different scene. When Mengda saw the miraculous ball of light, he was so excited that he immediately ordered to notify the whole city that reinforcements were coming. In order to enhance his persuasion, he also swore that it was his
It was agreed with Prime Minister Zhuge that the reinforcements would be a main force, which was best at fighting in the mountains. The leader of the troops would be Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang, the most famous general in Hanzhong.
This was originally just nonsense made by Meng Da. Unexpectedly, he soon discovered that the light group in the sky turned in a different direction and actually revealed the word "Wei". When Meng Da was startled, he was also secretly grateful. He
Although he did not believe that Wei Yan would really come to rescue him, he hoped that his soldiers would believe this statement. After all, Wei Yan was a rare important general in the Shu Han army. If he came to the rescue in person, he would definitely be the main force.
Although Meng Da did not want this to become a reality at all, at this moment, he first had to calm people's hearts and ensure that Fangling would not be attacked by Sima Yi, so that all considerations would have practical significance.
Without any hesitation, Meng Da immediately summoned the generals and told them the good news of "Wei Yan"'s reinforcements in a serious manner, asking them to hurry up and reorganize the defense line. He said excitedly: "Sima Yi doesn't know the tactics of the enemy, and the light army is deep. Now,
After many days of fierce fighting, nothing can be done. Food and grass are approaching, and reinforcements are arriving. Can he still conquer my Fangling?"
He walked with his head held high and in high spirits, and the depression he felt not long ago was gone. He waved his hand vigorously: "I dare to say that in less than three to five days, Sima Yi will retreat in embarrassment. You must not only seize the time to strengthen the city defense, but also prepare
He has the power to counterattack. Sima Yi is coming fiercely and has been suppressing us for so long. Why can't we get one or two back?"
General Li Fu stood up and said loudly: "The general is right. It is disrespectful to come and not return. We have to show Sima Yi some advantages and let him know that our Dongzhou soldiers are not vegetarians. We should also show it to Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun.
, lest he underestimate us and have any evil intentions towards Xincheng in the future."
Meng Da smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Li Fu's thoughtfulness. He coughed, and then said: "Zi Kuang is right. We can't rely on reinforcements, we have to use our own skills. Otherwise, Xincheng County will become
Just a piece of fat, I don’t know how many people are going to stare at us and drool.”
He paused, changed the topic, and said: "Of course, at this moment, let them put in some effort, so that we can take a breath, otherwise, how can we still have the strength after beating away Sima Yi, the evil dog?
Deal with those two hungry wolves. Don’t you think so?”
The generals laughed. They were all old men who had followed Mengda for many years. They followed him to surrender to Liu Bei, followed him to surrender to Cao Pi, and now they want to follow him to betray Cao Wei. They have long since not known who to regard as the real master. In their eyes
Only Meng Da dared to say such arrogant words here, and naturally he was convinced that they would not betray themselves and win people's hearts, so that they could use this power to dominate in the future.
Li Fu's eyes flashed, he raised his arms and shouted loudly: "The general is wise and will follow the general to the death."
All the generals stood up one after another and shouted slogans.
Mengda laughed.
…
Nothing happened all night.
Early the next morning, Sima Yi only sent 3,000 men to monitor the mountains in the rear, and launched another fierce attack on Fangling. The Wei army braved the rain of arrows from the top of the city, crossed the Zhushui River, and attacked the city.
After a hard fight, Mengda completely destroyed the wooden fence set up outside the city, fought to the bottom of the city, and ants invaded the city.
Sima Yi arrived in a hurry and did not bring any large-scale siege equipment. In order to gain time, he continued to attack the city these days and had no time to build siege equipment. He only relied on the simple ladder ants to climb the city, and the casualties he paid were staggering.
The effect was also very gratifying. After more than ten days of continuous attacks, the defensive facilities outside Fangling City had basically lost their effectiveness, and the people in the city were also panicked.
Sima Yi did not just attack blindly. He attacked fiercely at all costs, just like he rushed all the way to Fangling City. It not only had the sudden practical purpose of the tactic, but was more of a psychological tactic. He had to use unexpected moves and continuous attacks.
The attack left Mengda and his men unable to react, and they were shaken.
As long as their mentality was shaken, he would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Not long ago, someone in the city had come out to contact him and wanted to surrender. In order to gain the upper hand in the negotiations, he did not agree in time. He originally wanted to
I thought that if we stayed up for two days, we would be able to talk better. But we never expected that reinforcements from Shu Han would actually arrive.
Although it was just a small group of troops who dared not show up, it had a huge impact on the psychology of both sides. Especially the word "汉" that floated in the night sky all night yesterday reminded people of the so-called providence.
What made Sima Yi even more worried was that there was no news about the people who were originally eager to surrender, but the counterattack at the top of Fangling City was even more tenacious. The Wei army paid a huge price in casualties, but failed to achieve the expected results.
Sima Yi looked at the battlefield where the shouts of killing were loud, thought for a long time, and ordered to stop the attack.
