The catapult brought endless pressure to the Shu army. Almost every Shu soldier who climbed the southern city wall had a large area of ​​shadow in his heart. Under such circumstances, sticking to the city has almost become a luxury.

Therefore, Jiang Wei and Lu Kang finally decided to give up the South Gate, retract their existing troops, and prepare to fight street battles with the Wei army.

It either means that the Wei army took the South Gate or Xiling City. As long as the Shu army does not give up, the next battle will be a fight.

Just when the battle to defend the city was in a stalemate, Jiang Wei had already begun to prepare for street fighting. Because the Wei army used a catapult car to bomb Xiling City, Jiang Wei clearly realized that it was almost impossible to defend the South Gate. After all, in the face of such destructive forces, the Shu army really had no capital to compete with, and the loss of the South Gate would be a matter of time sooner or later.

Even the loss of the South City Gate would not shake Jiang Wei's determination to hold on to Xiling. After all, the only one with the strongest combat power of this Wei army is the catapult. If the catapult can be useless, Jiang Wei believes that the combat power of the Shu army is not inferior to that of the Wei army.

Moreover, even if it is street fighting, the Shu army will have a natural advantage. After all, as the defense side, many buildings and facilities in the city can become their blocking positions. Jiang Wei was ready for street fighting in advance, blocked the main streets, piled up a large number of sandbags and horse-resisting, and built defense fortifications.

In many cities, once the city gates are broken, the defenders collapse and the city will soon be lost. The most important thing is the psychological problems of the defenders. They placed almost all their strength on the city wall. Once the city wall is lost, the psychological defense line of the defenders will also collapse. In addition, they were not prepared for street fighting, so the rapid loss of the city will become inevitable.

But the situation in Xiling is completely different now. Jiang Wei was ready to give up the city wall and fight street battles in advance, so the loss of the southern city gate was not beyond Jiang Wei's expectations. The Shu army retreated in a planned manner, which was also preparing for the final street battle.

Not giving up or giving up is Jiang Wei's life creed. Jiang Wei has never won a real victory in his entire life, and it has become commonplace for Jiang Wei. Therefore, any failure is not a setback for Jiang Wei. Even if there is still a glimmer of hope, Jiang Wei will persevere.

After the Wei army climbed the southern city wall and captured the southern city gate, the attack of the catapult completely stopped. The Shu army's team had escaped beyond the range of the catapult. If the catapult was launched again at this time, it would only accidentally hurt more of its own people.

In order to maximize the attack on the Shu army, the catapult cart threw almost at the extreme distance. When the Pingjiang Camp launched an attack, the stone bullets flew past their heads, but occasionally there would be individual mistakes, and it would be helpless to hurt their own people.

But it is worth paying these sacrifices and prices to win Xiling City.

However, now that the Wei army has broken into the city, the catapult car has completed its mission. In the next battle, it will no longer provide any assistance to the Pingjiang Camp. If Pingjiang Camp wants to achieve the final victory, it can only rely on itself.

For Pingjiang Camp, the real battle has just begun. Pingjiang Camp has experienced only exercises and exercises before. Even if the exercises are realistic, they are completely different from actual combat. Pingjiang Camp, which has no practical experience, was at a disadvantage in this bloody street battle.

Fortunately, Pingjiang Camp is at a time when morale is strong, which can completely make up for the lack of combat experience. After opening the city gate, all the personnel of Pingjiang Camp rushed into the city with shouts and launched a final attack on the Shu army.

However, the battle was far from as smooth as expected. While advancing forward, the Pingjiang Camp encountered the most tenacious resistance of the Shu army. The two sides fought fiercely, and the battle was in a state of intense heat.

The crossbows played a great role in street fighting. The Shu army and the Wei army were equipped with crossbows as their main combat weapons. Every time the Wei army attacked a fortress, they would be attacked by the crossbows. Of course, the Wei army was not willing to be outdone and immediately used crossbows to fight back. At the beginning of street fighting, both sides were purely competing for crossbows to see whose crossbows were more powerful and who could suppress whom.

This battle was related to whether Lei Ding could be promoted to general. So after Lei Ding entered the city, he took an active offensive attitude, launched an attack on many targets in the city, and launched an annihilation battle with the Shu army.

The Shu army was also united. Although the city gate of Xiling had been broken by the Wei army, the Shu army did not completely collapse in terms of momentum. This is an army that came out of adversity. Although it was defeated repeatedly, it had to fight again and again. The Shu army, which had suffered setbacks, would not be defeated by difficulties at all. They stubbornly blocked, making the Wei army's attack difficult to move forward.

Every street and every house are extremely fierce. In the entire Xiling City, the sound of killing sounds shook the sky and blood flowed into a river. Many targets even changed hands several times. The most intense place of the battle was full of the corpses of soldiers on both sides. So when the subsequent troops advanced, they were completely walking on the corpses, and there was no chance to step on the air. The corpses all over the ground solidified into black and purple blood. Stepping into Xiling City was like stepping into hell on earth, which was so terrifying.

Just when the two sides were in a difficult situation to separate, Pinghu Camp suddenly appeared in the east of Xiling.

After solving the problem of prisoners of war, Pinghu Camp advanced to Xiling City at full speed without resting. After more than an hour of rapid march, Pinghu Camp rushed to the east gate of Xiling.

At this time, the street battle between Pingjiang Camp and Shu Army was in full swing. The two sides were evenly matched and the battle was in a stalemate.

Qian Jin immediately ordered Pinghu Camp to launch an attack without saying a word. At this moment, the Shu army in Xiling City was restrained by Pingjiang Camp, and most of the troops were invested in street fighting. Pinghu Camp launched an attack from the east gate, and the defenders there were quite weak. After the Shu army discovered that another group of Wei's troops appeared at the east gate, it was too late to draw troops to defend. Qian Jin led Pinghu Camp and captured the east gate without spending much effort.

The sudden attack of Pinghu Camp completely changed the pattern of street fighting in Xiling. It was originally a situation of even power, but the situation suddenly changed drastically, and the Wei army regained its dominant position.
