Chapter 2214 dead in vain

The Wei army made a comeback and launched an attack on Weirong Village again. Due to the existence of the forward base, the Wei army could directly send the attacking troops to the forefront and launch an attack on the positions of the Shu army from there.

After a few days of silence, the Wei army re-entered the attack. Bu Xie, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, had to regain its momentum and welcome a new battle.

The Wei army's offensive was as fierce as ever, and it was not affected by Chu Xiong's sneak attack on the food road some time ago. Instead, it destroyed Chu Xiong. After a breath of anger, his morale became high and his attack became more sharp.

The Wei army launched an assault at a distance of only one arrow from the frontier positions of the Shu army. Such a short distance made the Shu army extremely difficult to resist. Especially when the Wei army attacked, it not only used heavy armored troops to attack, but also before the people arrived, the rain of crossbow arrows arrived first. The dense crossbow arrows swept across the entire position of the Shu army, and the Shu army could not even lift its head.

Although the Bu Xie was on the front line and stubbornly commanding the Shu army to resist, the Wei army's offensive was too fierce. It broke through several defense lines of the Shu army in a row, forcing the Shu army to retreat again and again. In the end, the Shu army had retreated to the last line of defense of the entire Weirong Village, which was the highest point of Weirong Village. If even this last line of defense could not be defended, then Weirong Village would not be able to defend it completely.

Although there is a nearly 100-mile mountain road from Weirong Village to Qiting, there is no other terrain that is as dangerous as Weirong Village. Moreover, Bu Xie has long regarded Weirong Village as the last line of defense of Huya Mountain. He bets all his troops on Weirong Village. Once Weirong Village is in a loss, Bu Xie will no longer be able to defend this road, and the Wei army will definitely pounce on Qiting without any obstacles.

The existence of the Huya Mountain position is to provide protection for the flanks of the Qiting Pavilion. Once Baihuya Mountain is lost, the Qiting Pavilion, the main throat road leading to Xiling, will be attacked by Wei army's back and forth.

Now the battle in the Qiting is in full swing. Although Sima Lun stubbornly resisted the Wei army's attack, he also tried his best. If the flanks are attacked by the Wei army again, the collapse of the Qiting defense line will be in an instant.

Bu Xie knew the interests of this, so he gritted his teeth and persevered in Weirong Village. Even if it was the last glimmer of hope, he would not dare to give up easily.

But after losing several lines of defense in succession, the pressure on the Infantry Association was particularly great. The Wei army's offensive was too fierce. Almost all the troops they sent to attack were heavy armored infantry. In fact, these heavy armored infantry were not real infantry, but temporary guest appearances after the cavalry abandoned their horses.

Even so, these heavy armored soldiers armed to the teeth also posed a fatal threat to the defense line of the Shu army. They were not afraid of the damage of the Shu army's bows and arrows. Although the speed of advancement was slow, they were sonorous and powerful, and their pace was extremely firm. Only heavy defensive weapons such as rolling wood and rocks could play a slight role.

But the attacks of the Wei army's crossbow soldiers were even more crazy, and the dense arrows fell on the positions of the Shu army. Not to mention throwing rolling stones, the Shu army did not even have the chance to show their heads.

Under the strong cover of the crossbow, the Wei army infantry broke through several positions of the Shu army in succession. During the advancement, the Wei army's engineers did not stop for a moment, and continued to dig forward the fortifications forward. Even though they were approaching the last line of defense, the Wei army still kept digging, which caused great difficulties to the defense of the Shu army.

Just when Bu Xie was overwhelmed, the messenger sent by Jiang Wei suddenly arrived at Weirong Village and conveyed the order to withdraw the troops to Bu Xie.

Xiling is lost?!

After hearing the news, Bu Xie was shocked. How could Xiling be lost?

He clearly had successfully blocked the Wei army here, and there was no news of his loss from the vital pavilion, so why did Xiling actually fall?

This news is too surprising!

Others may not understand Xiling, but how could Bu Xie, the governor of Xiling, not understand Xiling? Bu Xie has been the governor of Xiling for some years. It can even be said that the defense of Xiling was built by Bu Xie. Xiling City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing rivers. The terrain is very dangerous. It has been a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times.

This time, Jiang Wei established a long siege, expanded the scope of defense, and defended the enemy outside the national gate, and was deeply agreed by Bu Xie. After all, Bu Xie also knew the Wei army's ability to attack the city. Once the Wei army attacked the city of Xiling, even the most solid city would be difficult to resist.

The Huya Mountain and Ma'an Mountain outside Xiling formed a natural barrier to Xiling City. As long as the Shu army successfully blocked the Wei army outside the long siege, Xiling could be safe and sound.

When Bu Xie came to Huya Mountain, he volunteered. The terrain of Huya Mountain was complex and most people could not control it. Only Bu Xie was familiar with the geography of Huya Mountain, can he better defend Huya Mountain.

Although the situation is critical now, the Bu Xie has not lost all its chains and has not allowed the Wei army to break through the Weirongzhai defense line. However, the sudden news came that Xiling was actually lost. Such a result is really unacceptable to Bu Xie.

"Why did Xiling fall?" Bu Xie asked the messenger.

The messenger briefly told Bu Xie about the process of Xiling's loss. Bu Xie realized that it was the Wei army who used waterways to launch an attack on Xiling City and used the catapult carts on the warship to attack Xiling City. The defenders could not resist the enemy, so they gave up Xiling City and retreated to Ma'anshan.

Jiang Wei's order to Bu Xie was to give up Huya Mountain immediately and retreat to Ma'anshan as soon as possible.

After Bu Xie understood the whole story, he sighed secretly. He worked so hard in Huya Mountain, but in the end he was useless. So many soldiers died in vain, especially Chu Xiong, who was trapped behind the enemy, but did not surrender to the enemy. Instead, he attacked the enemy's food route, burned the Wei army's food and grass, and slowed down the crisis of Weirong Village. Unfortunately, under the heavy encirclement of the Wei army, Chu Xiong finally died heroically.

I thought Chuxiong had died as much as possible, but now it seems that Xiling was lost, and all Bu Xie's efforts in Huya Mountain were wasted. Of course, Chuxiong died in vain, so all the soldiers who died in Huya Mountain were sacrificed in vain.

Bu Xie was about to give a retreat order to his army, but suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but sweat in cold sweat. He thought about it carefully and shouted secretly: "Not good!"
