Chapter 2488 It's all a feint

Huo Yi's military mobilization still had an immediate effect. The situation that Ximen defended the situation was difficult to maintain, after the arrival of reinforcements, the situation quickly stabilized, and the Ximen of Wei County was also turned into danger.

Just when Huo Yi was relieved, he suddenly received an urgent report from the East Gate. The Wei army raided the East Gate. The offensive was extremely fierce, and the defenders at the East Gate could not resist. They urgently asked Huo Yi for help.

Huo Yi suddenly felt cold sweat flowing down the ground, and he secretly shouted "I'm not good, I'm trapped!"

The Wei army's move was clearly to attack the east, and to concentrate its forces to attack the west gate first. When the Shu army was in a tight battle, it would inevitably mobilize its troops to rescue the west gate. As long as the Shu army was mobilized, the Wei army would use a real killer move. Attacking the west gate was a feint attack, while attacking the east gate was a real attack.

But then again, the Wei army's feint attack was even more real than the real attack. If Huo Yi had not transferred the troops from other places, the defenders of the West Gate would have been unable to resist the Wei army's attack.

If the Wei army really attacked the east, it proved that the Wei army still had heavy troops gathered outside the east gate. The west gate was still so tight. Once the east gate was attacked, it would be difficult for the Shu army to deal with it.

But no matter what, Huo Yi would never give up easily. He handed over Ximen's defense to Ximen's guard, and he led a team of men to hurry to the east gate to rescue the ground.

When they arrived at the east gate, they saw that the Wei army under the city was crowded with people. Sure enough, this was the real main attack direction of the Wei army. They set up dozens of ladders and launched a mad attack towards the east gate of Wei County. The Shu army defending the east gate tried their best to resist, but the Wei army's offensive was too fierce. They shot countless arrows and rolled wood and rocks, but they still could not resist the Wei army's offensive. They were about to lose.

At the critical moment, Huo Yi rushed over with his troops, suppressed the momentum of the Wei army, and finally temporarily turned the situation at the East Gate into safety.

However, the Wei army's offensive would not weaken because of the arrival of Huo Yidi. Although this round of attack was repelled by the Shu army, the Wei army still persevered in launching an attack. In the main formation of the Wei army behind, the war drums rumbled, urging people to advance. The Wei army even shouted in unison, rushing upwards with passion, rushing upwards with fear of life. Such an offensive made the Shu army really unbearable.

All the Wei army were elites who fought for a long time. They were very skilled in grasping the rhythm on the battlefield. When it was time to relax, they were careless, but when it was time to exert force, the fierce offensive made the Shu army completely breathless.

Compared to the Wei army's ease, the Shu army seemed much more difficult to deal with. They were completely led by the Wei army, exhausted and difficult to deal with, and the scene was very passive.

Huo Yi had no idea at this moment. Although he knew that it was not a solution to continue like this, the situation was urgent, and he had to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, so he could only take into account the present.

The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and the Wei army's offensive was still continuous, and the Shu army had already transferred all the troops that could be mobilized to the front line to participate in the battle. In this way, the passive situation was still impossible to resolve. Whether it was the East Gate or the West Gate Wei army's attack, it was continuous. If we really fought like this, Wei County would be in danger.

Whether it was Huo Yi or ordinary soldiers of the Shu army, they had a sense of powerlessness at this time, which was almost a desperate aura. According to the Wei army's offensive, Huo Yi had no idea how many days they could defend.

Zhang Tong, who was under the city, was sneering secretly. If the Shu army still fantasized about guarding for a few more days, then they were really wrong. Zhang Tong had been laying the foundation for this Wei County town for several days, so today is the time to decide the outcome.

This war has been delayed for quite a long time for Zhang Tong, and it is time to end today.

For Huo Yi, he first thought that the Wei army attacked the West Gate as the main attack, so he concentrated his troops to defend the West Gate, but then the Wei army's attack direction turned to the East Gate. Huo Yi naturally believed that the Wei army was attacking the East Gate by the west, and the real main attack direction was the East Gate, so he hurriedly drew troops to defend the East Gate, struggling back and forth, exhausted and running.

But for Zhang Tong, whether it was attacking the West Gate or the East Gate, it was actually a feint. When attacking the West Gate, the Wei army invested 4,500 troops. Although there were not many troops, due to the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei army, the defense of the Shu army still under considerable pressure.

Similarly, the troops attacking the East Gate were 4,500. These two attacks have basically attracted more than 80% of the Wei County defenders.

The troops of the Changshui Camp were all responsible for the offensive tasks of these two routes, and the main elite infantry battalion of the real Wei army was lying outside the south gate of Wei County, waiting for the sword to catch their strength, waiting for Zhang Tong's orders at any time.

Zhang Tong was not anxious. In the attack two days ago, Zhang Tong only invested three or two thousand troops to conduct a tentative attack. However, even if the Wei army only dispatched three or two thousand troops, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Therefore, even if it was a tentative attack, it would be impossible to find the north of the Shu army. If Zhang Tong had not ordered that no force was needed, the Wei army would have invested more troops, and two days ago, it might have been a breakthrough in the city wall.

After two days of fighting, Zhang Tong quickly found out the strength of the Shu army. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Shu army in Wei County is probably the weakest of the opponents that the Wei army has ever encountered. After all, they have never experienced large-scale wars before, so in terms of combat experience, they are simply unable to compare with Jiang Wei's troops fighting on the northern front.

Faced with such an opponent, Zhang Tong naturally had no need to worry, so he decided to do his best to win Wei County in one go.

Specifically for tactical arrangements, Zhang Tong decided to use the Changshui camp troops to attack the West Gate and the East Gate first to attract most of the defensive forces of the Shu army, and then the 9,000-man infantry battalion waited for an opportunity to attack and carried out the final fatal blow to the defenders of Wei County.

Therefore, in the first attack, the troops invested were all affiliated with the Changshui Camp, while the infantry camp was ambushed and temporarily stopped moving.

Although Zhang Tong did not expect Changshui Camp to take over Wei County, under Jiang Bin's command, Changshui Camp was indeed well-fighted. The Shu army tried its best to deal with it. The city defense of Wei County was dangerous and there was a possibility of falling at any time.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Tong immediately ordered the infantry battalion to launch an attack from the south gate and give the Shu army a final blow.
