The Wei army's attack did not stop all night. The reason why Wang Jun did this was to drag down the exhaustion of the Shu army.

When fighting during the day, the Shu army was already exhausted and exhausted. If the Wei army continued to add a little more pressure to them, wouldn't the Shu army collapse?

So Wang Jun arranged a battleship and kept using fire bombs and stone bombs to launch attacks on Xiling City in turn. Anyway, the Wei army had already reserved enough fire bombs and stone bombs before, so there was no need to worry about inventory.

Fire bombs were continuously shot to the city of Xiling one after another. The lighting effect of these fire bombs was much stronger than ordinary torches. The fire was blazing and shining like daylight. Even when it was ignited, the light was even more dazzling and could not be seen directly.

The Wei army's fire bomb attack at this time was not as covered as it was during the day. Countless fire bombs directly turned the city of Xiling City into a sea of ​​fire. The fire bombs at night were more of a lighting condition, providing assistance to the Pingjiang Camp's attack.

Pingjiang Camp did not do its best to siege the city. Wang Jun only arranged a portion of the soldiers to siege the city. Most of the soldiers returned to the warships to rest, raise their livestock and prepare for the next day's attack.

Wang Jun arranged for Pingjiang Camp to launch a continuous attack at night, which was more of a nuisance, which made the Shu army unable to get a moment of peace and rest.

This attack method of the Wei army did cause considerable trouble to the Shu army. Jiang Wei knew that this was a harassment tactic of the Wei army, but he did not dare to take it lightly. If the Wei army suddenly exerted force during the feint attack, the Shu army would probably be unable to resist.

Therefore, although the Wei army's attack was much less intense than during the day, the Shu army had to take advantage of the twelve points and defend with all their might, and dared not give the Wei army any opportunity to take advantage of.

This sudden attack by the Wei army on Xiling completely caught Jiang Wei off guard. Originally, in Jiang Wei's defense system, he arranged all the elite troops to the periphery of Xiling, so that he could successfully intercept the main force of the Wei army on the periphery, and Jiang Wei and Lu Kang were in Xiling, so he could rest assured.

But he did not expect that the Wei army could send so many troops through water to launch a surprise attack on Xiling City, which was considered to be the fate of Jiang Wei and Lu Kang. Otherwise, they would have been buried in the fire in the first round of attacks by the Wei army.

Thinking about the danger at that time, Jiang Wei was still a little scared. He was in a military life and fought countless times. Although he had experienced many life and death scenes, it was the first time that he had experienced such a scene that had passed by death like this. Even though he was as calm as a mountain, he was shocked and sweated all over this time. Now that he thought about it, he was still very scared.

This surprise attack by the Wei army completely overturned people's perception. The Wei army completely elevated amphibious operations to a new level. In the past, the Wu navy was powerful and did not have the ability to amphibious operations. Now the Wei army's attack has completely changed its three views.

In Jiang Wei's defense system, Xiling City has the guarding of the outer fortress, which is completely safe and sound. Therefore, he had never been worried about the defense issues of Xiling before, so there was such a strong city, leaving only 10,000 people to guard it.

Five thousand soldiers were the Yizhou soldiers led by Jiang Wei, and five thousand soldiers led by Lu Kang. These soldiers were all the personal guards of Jiang Wei and Lu Kang, and there was no ambiguity in combat effectiveness.

But the key problem is that ten thousand men came to defend Xiling, and the troops were slightly weak. Moreover, when the Wei army attacked the city, the first thing they used was a killer weapon such as a chain of stone casting cars, and used fierce oil fire bombs and stone bombs to bombard them in turn. Faced with this magical operation of the Wei army, the Shu army's combat power was useless, and it was only passive to be beaten.

Judging from the current Wei army's offensive, the loss of the South City Gate is a foregone conclusion. No one can withstand such a intensive bombardment!

But Jiang Wei was not willing to give up Xiling easily. Xiling City is the core of the entire Xiling defense line now and the goal of the Shu army doing its best to protect it. Once Xiling is lost, it is equivalent to the heart of the entire defense line being cut off by the enemy. So what is the meaning of the external defense line?

So Jiang Wei was still preparing to fight, even if the South City Gate was lost, the Shu army still occupied most of the city and could launch street fighting with the Wei army.

If both sides really enter street fighting, the advantage of the Wei army's catapults will no longer exist. These catapults are all equipped on warships, and their closest distance can only be close to the shore, with the largest distance of one thousand steps.

A distance of one thousand steps is impossible to cover the entire Xiling City anyway. As long as Jiang Wei deploys his troops outside the range of the catapult, the Shu army can be protected from the catapult.

Only in this way can the fighting spirit of the Shu army be rekindled. In the previous battle, the catapulting cart destroyed the will of the Shu army by destroying the will of the Shu army was too cruel and could be called a devastating blow. Not to mention a counterattack, even the power to resist was gone.

If the Shu army's defense line could retreat, the Shu army would be protected from the attack of the Wei army's catapult. In this way, the battle between the two sides would enter a normal mode. The Shu army could also seize the advantage of geographical advantages in Xiling City, so that they would not be at a disadvantage in street fighting.

However, the city's defense war is based on the city wall. Once the city wall is lost, it will also have a great impact on the psychology of the defenders. It is not easy to fight a good street battle.

The biggest problem now is still the lack of troops. If the Shu army can gain an overwhelming advantage in military strength, then even if it enters street fighting, it can fight with ease.

So what Jiang Wei is most anxious now is probably waiting for Ning Sui's reserve team. Although Jiang Wei also knew that Ning Sui's reserve team had shortcomings in combat effectiveness, if 10,000 people could rush to Xiling in time, they would still have the opportunity to turn the situation around.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei sent a quick horse to inform Ning Sui shortly after the battle, and asked him to rush to Xiling to help him urgently. According to time, Ning Sui should have received the order long ago, and it is almost time to arrive in Xiling at this moment.

But until now, Jiang Wei has not received any news from Ning Sui, which undoubtedly shrouded Jiang Wei's heart with a layer of haze and gave Jiang Wei an ominous premonition.

It is very likely that Ning Sui encountered a blockade from the Wei army. This method of besieging the city and fighting aid was a tactic used by the Wei army, and this time it is probably no exception.
