Chapter 2480 fill the moat

Zhang Tong looked at them and snorted coldly with expressionless expression, "The two generals are here. I have just checked the defense situation of Wei County today. Without further ado, I will go to attack the city tomorrow. Are you ready?"

Huangfu Kai and Jiang Bin said in unison: "Report to Deputy Governor Zhang, the infantry battalion (Changshui Battalion) is ready to stop and can go to war at any time."

Zhang Tong nodded and said, "No."

Immediately ordered the Central Army to open the military map. Zhang Tong, Huangfu Kai and Jiang Bin surrounded the map and negotiated on Zhuang, and conducted a detailed discussion on tomorrow's siege. Until the third update, the Central Army's tent was brightly lit.

At five o'clock the next morning, the civil war drums sounded at the Wei army camp. The soldiers of each battalion quickly stood up and gathered as usual. After a full meal, they lined out of the camp and set out for Wei County.

When we arrived at the city of Wei County, it was exactly the third hour of Mao and the sun was rising. The Wei army had a uniform lineup, with strong steps, and shouted slogans in unison: "I am invincible! There is an enemy but no one! Attack will win! In battle, we will win! We will win!..."

The slogan was loud and powerful, and millions of people shouted in unison, shaking the sky and rushing into the sky, which shocked the early birds to fly high. They could already feel the murderous aura and fly away quickly, for fear that they would affect their birds.

The appearance of the Wei army naturally attracted the attention of the Shu army. Seeing the huge lineup of the Wei army reaching the city in a mighty manner, the Shu soldiers couldn't help but tremble. They usually only deal with some small scenes of barbarian rebellion. They had once seen such a large formation. Seeing the Wei army coming with murderous aura, many Shu soldiers were so scared that their faces turned pale and their calves were weak. They grabbed the bows and arrows and swords and guns in their hands, but they still could not stop the trembling of their hands.

Seeing this, Huo Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although he became the prefect of Jianning and was still in charge of the Southern Central, Huo Yi had never experienced the real situation. After all, he either worked in the court or worked in the Southern Central, and had not participated in Zhuge Liang or Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, and had never really fought with the Wei army.

If you talk about martial arts and strategies, Huo Yi will not lose to anyone, but he also knows his shortcomings, that is, he has not experienced much baptism in practice.

Huo Yi has been in Nanzhong for some time. He once served as Yan Yu's army and participated in and commanded the rebellion of the Yi tribe in Nanzhong. However, they were all small battles, which were essentially different from the battle of thousands of troops.

However, as the commander, Huo Yi's psychological quality is naturally much stronger than those soldiers. He was shocked and shouted in a deep voice: "What a panic! We have a strong city wall and a wide moat. No matter how powerful the Wei army is, we should not break into the city! Following a certain order, all the crossbowmen are ready. Before a certain order, no one is allowed to shoot randomly, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Now the Wei army has just arrived outside the city, and is still a distance from the moat, which is still outside the range of bows and arrows. If you shoot arrows early at this time, ordinary soldiers will not have Huo Yi's mental strength and can only waste arrows in vain.

Although Huo Yi used the three-stone strong bow to shoot further, facing the Wei army's thousands of troops, even if Huo Yi broke his arms, he could not kill many people. Therefore, although Huo Yi had strong bow in his hand, he still couldn't trigger it.

If Huo Yi wants to shoot, he will still shoot Zhang Tong as the leader as he did yesterday. However, after yesterday's profound lessons, Zhang Tong must have learned his lesson and will never dare to enter the range again.

It is actually meaningless to shoot a small soldier, so Huo Yi holds the bow in his hand. He needs to wait patiently for an important figure from the enemy to enter his vision before Huo Yi will take action.

Unfortunately, today's scene is full of flags and crowds. If Huo Yi really wants to lock in the target among the troops, it will be extremely difficult.

After the Wei army arrived at the city, it soon launched an attack. Under the cover of the shield soldiers, each of the Wei army carried a sandbag that had been prepared and rushed towards the moat.

If the Wei army wanted to attack the city, the first thing was to fill the moat. If the moat could not be filled, then the ladder would not be able to use the cloud ladder to attack the city in the future. Therefore, under the arrangement of Zhang Tong, the Wei army prepared tens of thousands of sandbags overnight to prepare for the river filling operation.

Although the moat in Wei County is wide and deep, it cannot withstand the Wei army used tens of thousands of sandbags to fill it.

Moreover, the Wei army did not need to fill all the landfills. It only needed to fill a distance of more than a hundred feet in the direction of the main attack. A bag of sand and soil would have at least one stone. Tens of thousands of bags of sand and soil would have tens of thousands of stones of soil. They would all be thrown into the moat and a passage for siege could be filled out soon.

Almost all the Wei army was dispatched, and the blackness of locusts and ants rushed towards the moat. The crowds were surging like floods, and the ocean was endless.

Of course, Huo Yi would not allow the Wei army to destroy the moat. You should know that the moat is the first barrier in Wei County. Although Huo Yi did not expect that the moat could block the Wei army alone, at least the moat must also form a certain obstacle to the Wei army, delay the Wei army's attack time and increase the cost of the Wei army's casualties, so that he can win the initiative in the subsequent battles.

Seeing that the Wei army had already attacked, Huo Yi took the lead in pulling his bow and shooting an arrow. Huo Yi's first arrow was powerful and shot through the shield of a sword and shield soldier of the Wei army with one arrow. The entire arrow passed through his body, and the Wei army's shield soldier died.

Hiss! The Wei army around couldn't help but take a breath. No one could have thought that the first arrow shot by the Shu army was so fierce that it shot through the shield directly. The force was so terrifying!

If all Shu troops were such Hercules shooters, the Wei army's shield would probably not work at all. As long as they entered the range of Shu troops' bows and arrows, they would not be able to escape death!

However, it is obvious that this arrow still cannot stop the Wei army's advance. No matter how powerful it is, it is only one person who can shoot to death. Can the Wei army's thousands of troops still be scared by his arrow?

The Wei army's offensive was like a tide and was not affected at all. They still rushed towards the moat as quickly as possible.

Huo Yi's arrow was a signal. As soon as he shot it, many crossbowmen from the Shu army began to shoot arrows. For a moment, the arrows fell like rain, covering the entire moat inside and outside the moat in a rain of arrows.
