Chapter 1842 Admit it
This new city defense war lasted for about a month and a half. Although the Wu army's attack was very hard, the defense strength of the new city was not blown out. For decades of swords and swords, drums and horns, this battlefield has long been soaked in blood. If all the former dead people were piled up under the city, it would at least be as high as the city wall.
The Wu army paid such a heavy casualties and attacked Hefei New City no less than ten times, but never really conquered the New City. Although they were able to enter the New City last time, it was just the reason why Zhuge Dan gave in. If Wu army really wanted to fight by himself, they would not succeed.
Although Wu Jun was more determined by the remnant power of winning the new city last time, they were helpless in the face of the strong defense of the new city and the bad weather.
Zhuge Liang, the guard of Xincheng, hated the Wu people to the core. It was the Wu people's betrayal that led to the fall of Zhuge Dan. Zhuge Liang naturally hated the Wu people to the core. If this hatred is not avenged, it will be irreconcilable.
Zhuge Liang not only tore Sun Chi's letter to pieces, but also beat the messenger sent by Sun Chi to cut his nose and stick, which also gave Sun Chi a warning. At the same time, he also told Sun Chi that he had cut off the idea of surrendering, and Zhuge Liang and Wu were swearing to be incompatible.
In this offensive and defensive battle, Zhuge Liang did respond to his determination to be incompatible with his actions. Now, many of the defenders under Zhuge Liang were once Zhuge Dan's old subordinates. They were deeply favored by Zhuge Dan and hated the enemies of Wu. In this battle, these Zhuge Liang's old subordinates shared the same hatred of the enemy and fought bravely to kill the enemy. They showed great courage and retreated from the Wu army's attacks again and again.
Of course, the most affected by the Wu army was the weather. It didn't even open for the moon and was raining. Although it was under the same world, the Wei army had a city as its support, at least it had a place to shelter from the rain. Creating a fire could dry the wet clothes on its body.
But Wu Jun in the wilderness could not enjoy the treatment of burning fire. The heavy rain wet all the firewood that could be ignited, and Wu Jun's body was even more wet, it was damp and cold, and it was extremely miserable. It would be strange if such an environment could fight a good war.
The Wu army's consecutive attacks were frustrated. Sun Feng was furious and killed the vanguard Zhu Yi and re-appointed Sima Yi to lead the army to attack the city.
When Zhuge Liang heard that it was Sima Yijun who came to attack the city, Zhuge Liang was even more jealous. If the Wu people were just accomplices who killed their father, then the Sima family was the real enemy of killing their father. Zhuge Dan eventually died at the hands of Sima Lun, while Sima Lun and Sima Yijun were brothers. All the Sima family members were just as good as Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, although Sima Yiqiang brought 30,000 troops, Zhuge Liang was not afraid at all. Instead, he was full of expensive fighting spirit and could not kill the enemy himself. Zhuge Liang refused to give up.
Even though Sima Yichang's army participated in the siege, and even if the weather turned clear, it became more beneficial to the Wu army, the Wei army defending the city fought very tenaciously, and the Wu army attacked for more than ten days in a row, and it was difficult to achieve results.
The main reason for this is that the Wu army is not good at fighting tough battles. The tall and sturdy city walls in the new city are a nightmare existence for Wu army, who lacks large-scale siege equipment and can only rely on human sea tactics.
In fact, Sima Yichang was quite embarrassed. His troops were all from the Central Plains, but on his way from Wuguan to escape from Wu, he almost lost all his equipment and equipment. If it were not for the help of the Wu army, Sima Yichang's men would have starved to death.
Therefore, although Sima Yichang's army did not belong to the original battle sequence of the Wu army, it seemed to have been assimilated since joining the Wu army, which made Sima Yichang, who boasted about Haikou in front of Sun Jing, suffer a sharp loss of face.
There was no choice but to launch an attack without caring about casualties and desperately swearing to take down the new city.
Maybe it was God's favor, maybe it was because of the long battle that I finally saw the dawn. After more than ten days of fierce battle, Sima Yiqiang continued to attack as usual, but found that the city of the new city was unguarded.
At first, Sima Yichang thought he was dazzled, perhaps because of the trap set by the Wei army on purpose. Then, Sima Yichang sent a small group of troops to the city and found that Hefei had become an empty city, and the Wei army guarding the city had disappeared overnight.
When the Wu army attacked the new city, it did not use the method of surrounding the city on all sides, but adopted the tactic of surrounding the three quads and one that is commonly used in military tactics. In essence, it was to give the enemy guarding the city a way out and let them give up the idea of resistance. If the city on all sides was surrounded and was out of touch, the enemy had no way out and would only fight to trap beasts, allowing the siege side to bear the cost of casualties.
If you are not prepared to kill the defenders just to seize the city, then surrounding the Three Ques and One is indeed a good way, which can maximize the defensive fighting spirit.
However, Sima Yichang always felt that such a move did not seem to have any effect on Zhuge Liang. From Zhuge Liang's attitude of fighting to the death, it should be seen that Zhuge Liang was preparing to live and die with Hefei New City. Without facing a desperate situation, he would never give up on the New City easily.
But to Sima Yiqiang's surprise, just when the attack and defense of Xincheng was still in a stalemate, Zhuge Liang led his troops to escape overnight without warning, and he escaped cleanly. It was not until Sima Yiqiang entered the city that he found that there were no Wei soldiers in Hefei New City.
The promised fight to the death, who will fight to the end, but in the end, it will be a terrible end. Zhuge Liang, who originally thought that a ruthless person, was also a terrifying person in the end.
Sima Yiqiang looked at the empty new city and showed contempt.
But this result was no matter how good it was for Sima Yichang. Being able to win the new city today is definitely a celebration. Sima Yichang entered the city first before Ding Feng, and the first achievement of winning the new city was naturally his.
Sima Yichang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had not won the victory for more than half a month. He was under great pressure. He took the new city today and the pressure was finally released.
Although Sima Yi held a high position after surrendering to Wu, he also knew that this was just a more polite way for the Wu people. They still despise these surrenderers in their hearts. If they want to gain a foothold in Eastern Wu, they must have excellent results. The Battle of Xincheng is the opportunity for him to prove himself. Now he has finally got what he wants, and he can finally be proud.
