After filling the river, the Wei army did not continue to attack the city, but took the initiative to retreat. After all, the sky was getting dark, so it would be out of place to attack the city at this time.

In order to prevent the Shu army from leaving the city at night to destroy the "results" of the Wei army's hard work for a day, Zhang Tong still left some people under the city of Wei County.

Seeing that Zhang Tong had only left more than a thousand people under the city, Huangfu Kai couldn't help but worry: "Deputy Governor Zhang, is it too few that only a thousand people left? What if the Shu army left the city to attack, can they resist?"

Zhang Tong laughed and said, "Don't worry, with the ten courage of Hogo, he wouldn't dare to go out of the city to attack the camp. You go back and sleep well, and there will be more important tasks tomorrow."

Although Huangfu Kai was a little worried, Zhang Tong said so, so he naturally didn't want to say anything else. He immediately ordered the Mingjin to withdraw his troops and retreat to the camp.

Zhang Tong did not stay behind the city, and the main reason was that the people who stayed here would definitely not be able to sleep. They should always be prepared for battle. If there were too many people left behind, it would inevitably affect the actions of the Wei army tomorrow.

In order to fill this moat, the Wei army still had a lot of effort, so the Wei army needed to withdraw from its base camp to rest and accumulate strength so that we could fight again tomorrow.

Of course, Zhang Tong was sure that Huo Yi would not send troops out of the city. In fact, this was a psychological war between the two sides. Zhang Tong deliberately sent only a small number of troops to stay at the city, just like bait. Any general with a little brain would think that this was a trap and trap of the Wei army and would not be easily deceived.

Huo Yijiu Zhen Nanzhong, among the generals of Shu Kingdom, was also considered the most important figure. The more strategic the general he was, he would have to consider it more carefully. Even though he knew that the Wei army had a strong field ability, it was probably a trick to lure the enemy, he would never send troops rashly.

Unless Huo Yi is a rough man with a poor IQ, he will go out of the city to attack the Wei army without considering anything else.

However, the thousand people left by Zhang Tong were all elites among the Wei army. The long-distance and melee troops were properly matched, and they were in a highly alert state of fighting all night, so there was no possibility of being sneak attacked at all.

Even if the Shu army really wanted to eat these thousand people, they would have to send at least ten times the force, which would only make it possible for the Shu army to be dispatched in Wei County. Even if it was even more stunned, it would be impossible for the defenders of Wei County to come out in full swing.

Although the Wei army had only one thousand people, it was not too difficult to protect themselves even without support, let alone the Wei army's large teams were several miles away and could be reinforced at any time. Therefore, no matter what the situation occurred, the Wei army would not be in danger of the entire army being destroyed.

As for the sandbags that were thrown into the moat, it was impossible for the Shu army to fish out all the sandbags overnight. If they were to survive, they would just move one or two floors above, which would not pose too much threat to the "work results" of the Wei army.

However, in Zhang Tong's opinion, this worst case will not happen at all. When Huo Yi saw the Wei army's deployment, he would definitely worry whether the Wei army was ambushed, so he would definitely not dare to act rashly.

So Zhang Tong asked Huangfu Jian and Jiang Bin to take the troops from each battalion back for a good rest, have a full meal first, then have a good night's sleep, and come to the battle with great energy tomorrow.

As for other things, they don’t have to think about them or care about them.

Zhang Tonggui was quite clear. Huo Yishen was afraid that the Wei army would be ambushed, so he had no intention of sending troops. Instead, he ordered the troops everywhere to strengthen vigilance to prevent the Wei army from coming to attack in the middle of the night.

After the Wei army filled the moat, they could launch a siege directly at any time. Now it was getting darker and the Wei army did not attack the city, but it did not mean that the city could not be attacked at night. Throughout history, there were countless night attacks. If the Shu army was unprepared, the Wei army came to attack in the middle of the night, which would have a big problem.

Therefore, the Wei army never left under the city. Although there were not many soldiers, the threat to Wei County was not reduced as a result. Of course, Huo Yi did not dare to take it lightly.

As for the sneak attack on the Wei army from the city, Huo Yi was not so stupid. The total number of troops from the Wei army to Wei County was more than 20,000, and in the end, only one thousand people were left under the Wei County city. Isn’t it a pit?

Taking a step back, even if the Wei army has no trap, it is not easy for the Shu army to eat these thousand people, unless Huo Yi dares to transfer all the troops from Wei County to fight a siege and annihilation battle, so there may be a chance to eat the other party.

If all the troops in Wei County are mobilized, taking such risks when the Wei army is on the city and is eyeing it, I am afraid that anyone with a little brain will not do this.

Besides, even if the Shu army can win a battle and eat up all the thousands of Wei soldiers, this loss is not much for the Wei army, and it will not hurt the bones at all, and it will not play any role in the defensive battles of Wei County.

When the risks and benefits are not proportional, such attacks are meaningless, so even if the generals under his command can't help but eager to try, Huo Yi sternly refused and ordered anyone to prohibit leaving the city, and those who violate the orders were killed.

Huo Yi thought it clearly. It was not that he dared not take risks, but that it was not worth taking risks. He used the gains and losses of Wei County to exchange for the record of annihilation of one thousand enemies. This deal was not cost-effective in any case. Now Huo Yi's top priority is whether to defend Wei County. He would not consider anything else.

Whether it was the old doubt formation or the bait set up by the Wei army, as long as Huo Yi acted firmly according to his own ideas and allowed him to make all kinds of tricks, it would be useless.

Huo Yi was determined to defend Wei County. Now that the barrier of the moat has disappeared, the situation suddenly became severe for the Shu army, so Huo Yi ordered all the elite forces to be mobilized to the west of the city to prepare to fight to the death with the Wei army's siege troops.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, the Wei army has filled the moat west of Wei County, and the Wei army's attack direction will undoubtedly be concentrated in the west. It is natural that Huo Yi mobilized the army to strengthen the defense of the West City Wall.

But beyond everyone's expectations, the direction of the Wei army's attack the next day was not in the west of Wei County, but in the south of Wei County.

Of course, the moat in the south of the city still exists, and the Wei army has no possibility of directly attacking the city, so the attack the next day still continued to fill the moat, but it only changed in another direction.
