Seeing that the Wei army was already ready to move, Jiang Wei certainly did not dare to take it lightly and immediately ordered the Shu army to rush to the city in a fire and to block the Wei army's attack at all costs.

Xiling City must not be lost!

The sudden attack on Xiling City by the Wei army at this moment caught Jiang Wei off guard.

This is not Jiang Weito, but when Jiang Wei formulated the Xiling defense plan, there were still some deviations. Jiang Wei placed the focus of Xiling defense on the dangerous passes such as Huya Mountain and Ma'anshan, and was a little careless about the defense of waterways.

The main reason is that Jiang Wei instinctively believed that the Wei army could not cross the river in Xiling. In addition to being able to control the Yangtze River waterway, their hands could not reach the shore at all, so Jiang Wei always disagreed with the defense of the Xiling waterway.

He believed that as long as a certain number of troops were left behind, it was enough to ensure the safety of Xiling. No matter how powerful the Wei navy was, it could only be able to show off on the river and the water. No matter how long their hands were, could they reach the shore?

Now it seems that Jiang Wei still miscalculated. Wei Jun really stretched out his hand, and he stretched out his hand from the waterway he ignored the most. At this moment, Jiang Wei had already aired the main force of Xiling City, and the defenders of Xiling City were less than 10,000.

The number of Xiling defenders has never been so low. It turns out that when Bu Xie was the governor of Xiling, the Xiling garrison was at least 20,000. At the most, Xiling had 30,000 to 40,000 troops stationed in Xiling, which was the first important town of the Wu army on the Western Front.

Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, Xiling's defensive forces will be so weak, which shows that Jiang Wei has made a major misjudgment.

In fact, the core of the Xiling defense line is Xiling. No matter how strong the defense Jiang Wei deployed in the Qingting, the core is to guard Xiling City. If Xiling is lost, then no matter how well the Qingting defense line is fighting, it will be useless.

Lu Kang seemed worried at this moment. This time, the Wei army suddenly launched an attack on Xiling City. This was something that no one expected. Not only did Jiang Wei not expect, but Lu Kang also did not expect it.

If we talk about the familiarity with the navy, Lu Kang would definitely be much stronger than Jiang Wei. After all, the navy of Shu Kingdom was very small, and Jiang Wei had been fighting in the Guanlong area of ​​Hanzhong for many years. He was best at mountain warfare, and he didn't know much about navy and water warfare.

Lu Kang felt that in this regard, he should take the initiative to take the initiative to take on more responsibilities. After all, Jiang Wei is not familiar with the navy and is often at a level of knowledge of the offensive routines of the navy. Moreover, Jiang Wei has too many things to worry about. If he needs to do everything himself, even if Jiang Wei has three heads and six arms, he will still lack skills.

Of course, the retreat of the army is not necessarily a trivial matter, and it is enough to move the whole body. Now that the Wei army suddenly appeared under Xiling City, Lu Kang was really surprised.

As the name suggests, the navy is the army that is active in the water. They can control the waterway and control the waters, but their targets on land are often beyond reach.

Lu Kang also had a deep understanding of this point. After all, the naval army of Wu was also an invincible army that was famous all over the world. Lu Kang was in charge of Wuchang and held heavy troops, so he was naturally familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the navy.

But the navy of Wei State is not the same as the navy of Wu State. Just a new type of warship, such as a series of stone-catted ships, is something that Lu Kang has never heard of.

To be honest, Lu Kang has never seen this kind of combat method of sending infantry from a distance.

The conditions required for crossing the river to land on the battlefield are still relatively harsh. Logically speaking, Xiling is not afraid of the Wei army's crossing the river to landing attacks. Because the terrain on Xiling does not have the conditions for crossing the river to land, so in Lu Kang's view, the possibility of Wei army landing here is zero.

But the Wei army went up against the wind and dispatched a large number of troops from the water to attack Xiling. It seems that if we want to defend Xiling, the Shu army needs to work harder in this regard.

Lu Kang suggested that Ning Sui from Sifeng Mountain be transferred back to strengthen the defense of Xiling City.

Sifeng Mountain is located in the southeast of Xiling, just between Xiling City and the Qingting Pavilion, and is only about thirty or forty miles away from Xiling. Whether it is the East-supporting the Qingting Pavilion or the West-supporting the Xiling City, it is better to do it anytime.

Jiang Wei arranged Ning Sui in Sifeng Mountain, so he had the intention to make him a reserve team, and asked him to put out the fire and respond to danger. Wherever there was danger, Ning could reinforce wherever there was a chance, so that he could be prepared for any eventuality.

Of course, Jiang Wei did not consider the issue of Xiling at the beginning. He placed Ning Sui's army in Sifeng Mountain. The main purpose was to strengthen the thickness of the defense of the Qiting Pavilion.

The defense line of the 王官网 is the top priority of the battle in Xiling. Jiang Wei not only arranged for Bu Xie to station Huya Mountain to protect the wing safety of the 王官网, but also arranged Ningsui behind the hall in Sifeng Mountain to ensure the safety of the 王官网.

If Sima Lun really couldn't stand the sacrificial pavilion, he would rather go up to reinforce at any time to ensure that the sacrificial pavilion is foolproof.

But unexpectedly, there was no problem with the Qiting side. Instead, there was trouble in Xiling in the rear. Lu Kang proposed to transfer Ning Sui's troops back to Xiling at this time, and Jiang Wei immediately agreed.

Xiling is the core of the entire Xiling defense line. Once Xiling is lost, it means that the entire defense line has been completely penetrated by the Wei army. Now the troops in the Qiting cannot move, and the soldiers and horses in Huya Mountain cannot move. As for Ma'anshan, it is for the Wei army to attack from Shangyong. Although the Wei army has not made any noise on the northern line for the time being, the defenders in Ma'anshan cannot move lightly, leaving a gap for the Wei army's attack.

Although the Shu army concentrated 110,000 troops in the Xiling area, most of the troops had tasks, and the tasks were very difficult. It was because they had no skills and could not be drawn out.

The only reserve team that could be mobilized was Ning Sui's, so Jiang Wei immediately ordered a quick horse to notify Ning Sui and asked him to come quickly to help Xiling.

This sudden attack by the Wei army did catch Jiang Wei off guard, but with many years of rich combat experience, Jiang Wei quickly stabilized his position. In addition to mobilizing Ning Sui Hui's assistance, Jiang Wei also concentrated all the defensive forces of Xiling City and tried his best to fight this battle well, so that the Wei army would never step into Xiling City.
