This is the result of Jiang Wei's repeated weighing. If Xiling City needs to strengthen its defense, Jiang Wei will definitely not dare to arrange the main force to the periphery of Xiling. Otherwise, if the Wei army attacks, Xiling City will face a situation where there is no soldiers to defend.

Therefore, Jiang Wei was quite attentive in this regard and was very careful. He and Bu Xie, who were familiar with Xiling geography, repeatedly studied it. Bu Xie had swear to tell him that there was absolutely no foothold in the area of ​​Xiling City that the Wei army needed to land. Although the Wei army's warships could roam the river surface of Xiling unscrupulously, the Shu army had no choice but to do it, but in the same way, they had no choice but to do it from Xiling City. Only the navy fleet could not threaten the city defense of Xiling.

Despite this, Jiang Wei arranged 10,000 people to guard Xiling City for caution. In Jiang Wei's opinion, even if the Wei army has the ability to attack the city, it would be completely impossible to win the strong Xiling City.

Moreover, Ning Sui also led more than 10,000 people to station in Sifeng Mountain on the east side of Xiling. It is only fifty or sixty miles away from Xiling and only thirty or forty miles away from the pavilion.

Jiang Wei arranged for Ning Sui to be in Sifeng Mountain, but actually used him as a reserve team. If there was a critical moment in the defense line of the Pavilion, Ning Sui could provide reinforcements at any time. At the same time, when there was a danger in Xiling, Ning Sui could also return to the rescue in time.

It is precisely because of this kind of arrangement that Jiang Wei is naturally full of confidence in the defense of Xiling City. Even if the Wei army really could attack Xiling City, Jiang Wei was not afraid.

Now that Jiang Wei’s army is good and food is sufficient, the entire Xiling defense system has begun to take shape. Jiang Wei’s original ideas have now been realized and has achieved good results.

Sima Lun was in the Qiting Pavilion and Bu Xie was in Huya Mountain, and they all successfully resisted the attack of the Wei army. Judging from the current situation, Jiang Wei's plan for long-siege was quite successful, which greatly encouraged the confidence of the soldiers from all over the Shu army.

Originally, when fighting against the Wei army, the Shu army had been defeated in a row and was defeated thousands of miles away. Under such circumstances, how can the morale of the Shu army be improved? They have a sense of fear of the Wei army. This mentality of being timid before the battle is extremely unfavorable to the subsequent battle.

The two battles between Qiting and Huya Mountain made the soldiers of the Shu army feel that the Wei army is not a god or an invincible one. As long as all the Shu army can work together and unite to defeat the Wei army and defend Xiling, it is not an out of reach.

Nowadays, the morale of the Shu army is high and fighting spirit is high. Needless to say, the Shu army participating in the battle between Qiting and Huyashan, even the Shu army stationed in other places and did not participate in the battle can also feel the passionate excitement, which is of great benefit to enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Shu army, and at the same time it has further strengthened Jiang Wei's belief in sticking to Xiling.

The key to defending Xiling is the Qingting Pavilion. The Qingting Pavilion is the gateway to the east of Xiling. If the Qingting Pavilion is lost, the Wei army will advance and go straight to Xiling.

Although Xiling's defense is also known as solid, once the Wei army is allowed to come to the city, there will be no room for Shu army to turn around. Under the attack of the powerful catapult of the Wei army, it will be very difficult to defend Xiling City.

But now it is different. Jiang Wei adopted the practice of defending the enemy outside the national gates and used the favorable terrain of the Qiting and Huya Mountain to successfully block the Wei army. In this way, Xiling City was as stable as a mountain.

Lu Kang was also very pleased. Since Jianye fell, Lu Kang has been under great pressure, especially after the Wei army advanced westward, Lu Kang suffered a severe blow in Chaisang Pass, and the Jingzhou naval army was almost destroyed, which completely lost Lu Kang's capital to confront the Wei army.

Giving up Wuchang became the most painful thing for Lu Kang. Wuchang was the affair of Jingzhou and the capital of Wu. Sun Quan was here to proclaim himself emperor and establish the foundation of Eastern Wu. However, after the defeat of the navy, Lu Kang's attempt to defend Wuchang became a luxury.

Even if Wuchang is important, Lu Kang has to give up. Otherwise, once he is surrounded by the Wei army, Lu Kang will be in danger of his entire army being destroyed.

At that time, Lu Kang had only one thought, that was, to lead his army to Jiangling, and to establish a counterattack base with Jiangling as the center, including within Xiling. First of all, he could ensure that this basic structure was not lost and he would plan to counterattack in the future.

However, the evolution of the war situation is often beyond Lu Kang's control. During the retreat to the west, the Wu army was blocked on the south bank of the Yangtze River and its journey to Jiangling became a long time ago.

Moreover, Lu Kang was chased by the Wei army endlessly and was almost buried beside Dongting.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei took action at the critical moment, which completely saved Lu Kang.

Moreover, the Xiling defense system built by Jiang Wei is quite successful, which is equivalent to keeping a place for Lu Kang to breathe in Jingzhou. As long as they can persevere to the end, the Wei army will not withdraw. As long as Lu Kang can gain a foothold in Xiling, even a salted fish can turn over. Lu Kang may not have no possibility of turning against the wind in the future.

Lu Kang was once again glad that he chose. He rejected the opposition and surrendered to Shu Kingdom, which suffered quite strong opposition. The second-ranked Wu army, Mu Shi Ji, even turned against Lu Kang and left Jiaozhou, which led to a great loss of the Wu army's strength.

At that time, Lu Kang was under considerable pressure. If he took this wrong step, he would have become a sinner for the ages.

Lu Kang faced the pressure and faced difficulties. The facts proved that Lu Kang's choice was extremely correct. If Jiang Wei did not send troops, the survival of the Wu army would be a big problem, let alone have the opportunity to arrive in Xiling.

Now Xiling's defense requires the unity of Wu and Shu. The strength of one side alone is not enough to compete with the Wei army.

Nowadays, Lu Kang and Jiang Wei are completely interdependent. They have a cold lips and teeth. Only by holding together to keep warm can they have a chance to survive the cold winter.

Jiang Wei's performance in the Battle of Xiling was beyond Lu Kang's expectations. Jiang Wei did not passively and lazy to fight because Xiling was not the homeland of Shu. Instead, he showed extremely positive performance. For the defense of Xiling, he worked hard and slept day and night, and seemed to be more attentive than guarding the border of Shu. Now on the defense line of the Qiting, Sima Lun of the Shu army was responsible for the blocking task. Bu Xie was at Huya Mountain, and at best he was also a fight support.

Therefore, in this battle, Jiang Wei showed a selfless attitude, and the most urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks were all undertaken by the people of the Shu army, which made Lu Kang admire him.
