The guards at the South Gate could not stand it at all. There were originally not many defenders at the South Gate. In order to deal with the attacks from the north by the Bingzhou army, they also drew two thousand troops from the south Gate.

This draw made the already thin defense line even thinner. Although the defenders were fighting, a large group of new recruits under their command had never been on the battlefield. When encountering such a large-scale attack by the enemy, they were already confused and were at a loss, and they had no ability to take the initiative to fight.

The guards could only let the law enforcement team stand behind and cut off the head of anyone who dared to retreat, so that they could barely force the guards to fight.

But if the Bingzhou Army's offensive could be alleviated, the Sima Army might be able to handle it, but Wang Jun did not plan to test it at the beginning, but instead mobilized all the forces of the Changshui Camp and launched a desperate attack.

This kind of attack method brings great pressure to the defenders. In the panic, the defenders are ignorant of one thing and are unable to resist the attack of the Bingzhou army.

When the defender saw that the situation was not good, he immediately sent someone to ask Sima Yichang for help and repeatedly stated that the South Gate was the main target of the Bingzhou Army and asked Sima Yichang to send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise the South Gate would soon be lost.

This is not because the guard generals are exaggerating, but because the situation at the South Gate is indeed dangerous. With their current combat effectiveness, they can't hold on for long.

The commander ran to the north gate in one breath and reported the news from the south gate to Sima Yichang.

The attack of the Right Guard Camp continued to continue. Although it was a feint, Liu Jing was in full even if he was a play. The attack of the Right Guard Camp showed no sign of weakening. It was still a big army, attacking the walls of Yecheng again and again.

Fortunately, six thousand defenders were transferred, and finally, relying on the power of the large population, the offensive of the Bingzhou Army was suppressed, and the battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate.

But before Sima Yichang could come in a sigh of relief, the South Gate reported to him and was attacked by the Bingzhou army again. Moreover, the offensive was more urgent and fierce. The defenders at the South Gate could not resist at all, so they could only come to Sima Yichang for help.

Sima Yiqiang's head was as big as a chicken cage, and his head was buzzing. The Bingzhou Army indeed used the strategy of vocalizing east and attacking west. It was fake to attack the north gate, but the real target was the south gate.

But this is too fake. If Sima Yichang didn't transfer the defenders from other places, the North Gate would not be able to defend it at all. Now the situation at the North Gate is still serious, and Sima Yichang would not dare to take away the North Gate's troops. Otherwise, even if the South Gate is kept, the North Gate will not be able to defend it!

As for the defenders at the East Gate and West Gate, Sima Yichang did not dare to mobilize them easily. Two thousand people had been drawn from everywhere, and if they were even drawn, the troops would be even weaker. God knows if the Bingzhou Army has a next move. If both the North Gate and the South Gate were attacking in an empty way, there would be no troops to defend the East Gate and West Gate, and they would be lost in a moment.

Now Sima Yichang could not judge the true intention of the Bingzhou Army to attack, and he could not figure out how much troops the Bingzhou Army had invested in the attack of Yecheng. If they were only able to deal with it and were exhausted, it would probably be a matter of time before the fall of Yecheng would be.

But the South Gate is in danger, so you can't stand by death and refuse to save it. Sima Yichang is really in a dilemma and hesitate to make a decision.

At this time, a counselor Shao Zhen, who was beside him, advised Sima Yi: "The third young master, if he goes to rescue the South Gate at this time, it will probably be too late. Even if he has time, he can only take care of one and another and it is difficult to deal with it. He is humble and thinks that it is better to give up the outer wall and all the troops retreat to the inner wall. At least there is no need to worry about the Bingzhou army hiding in the dark and not knowing its true direction of attack. As long as our army can hold on until tomorrow, there will inevitably be a large number of troops returning to the rescue, and the inside and outside will be able to repel the Bingzhou army."

Sima Yi thought for a while and felt that this method was good. Although retreating to the inner city wall seemed to be a sign of showing weakness on the surface, it was a trick to retreat and advance.

What Sima Yichang is the most difficult to grasp now is where the main attack direction of the Bingzhou Army. At first, the Bingzhou Army first attacked the North Gate, but now it suddenly attacked the South Gate. Next, it is really an unknown whether the Bingzhou Army will attack the East Gate and West Gate. The Sima Army is exhausted from going back and forth, and is completely at a disadvantage in the situation. If a mistake in judgment occurs, it may lead to the loss of the city.

Retreat to the inner city, but this problem can be effectively solved. The inner city wall and the outer city wall are only a distance of one arrow, and there is no building between the two city walls, and it is empty. No matter how the Bingzhou Army dispatches troops, the Sima Army can see clearly and make corresponding countermeasures.

In order to ensure security, some troops were always left on the inner city wall. If you retreat at this time, most of the troops on the outer city wall can also be withdrawn and enriched to the defense of the inner city wall.

In fact, the meaning of defending the inner city wall is the same as the outer city wall. As long as the inner city wall is not lost, Yecheng will not be lost. As long as you can survive this most difficult time, I believe that the reinforcements nearby will do their best to rescue after receiving the news of Yecheng's critical moment.

As soon as reinforcements from all over the country arrived, Sima Yichang believed that the Bingzhou army would flee without fighting, and the crisis in Yecheng would soon pass.

Sima Yi pondered for a moment and made up his mind and ordered all the defenders stationed on the city walls to retreat from the outer city wall to the inner city wall. He required that the troops in various places must retreat in time and not delay. For the Bingzhou army that followed and pursued, a sufficient number of troops must be left to cut off the rear, and the enemy must not take the opportunity to seize the inner city wall.

Sima Yiqiang first arranged the defenders of the city gates on both sides to retreat first. They were not attacked by the Bingzhou army and were the easiest to escape. The troops at the North Gate and South Gate were relatively lagging behind. They would gradually retreat after the defenders of the East Gate and West Gate retreated.

This order also reflects that Sima Yiqiang has a certain ability to govern the army. If he retreats in a swarm, he will inevitably fall into chaos. If the Bingzhou Army pursues behind him, the Sima Army will suffer heavy casualties.
