From the ambush site of the infantry battalion to the south gate of Wei County, the closest distance is only more than three miles away. The Wei army shouted and walked as fast as flying. The more than three miles away was only a matter of time. In just half a stick of incense, they had already rushed to the bottom of Wei County.

The infantry battalion was prepared for siege in advance, including siege weapons such as cloud ladder flying claw ropes, which had been prepared long ago. After attacking, these weapons did not fall down, and they appeared in the first echelon at the city of Wei County.

The moat had been filled by the Wei army long ago, so it would not cause any obstacles to the infantry battalion's siege. The Wei army rushed to the city of Wei County in one breath and directly set up the ladder. The movements were skillful, neat and orderly, like flowing clouds.

The defenders on the city were stunned when they saw the Wei army coming in a dark scene. Didn’t it mean that the main force of the Wei army was attacking the East Gate and the West Gate at this moment? An army emerged in such an empty space, and judging from the number of people, there were eight thousand, and there were eight thousand. How could the defenders on the South Gate resist?

Due to the tight war at the West Gate, a group of defenders at the South Gate were transferred, and then the East Gate was in a hurry and another group of transferred. Originally, Huo Yi was not sure which direction the Wei army would launch an attack, so the defensive forces of the four gates were roughly equal.

However, as the Wei army began to attack the city, the city defense in Wei County was in a hurry. Huo Yi had no choice but to demolish the east wall and repair the west wall, and to draw out some of the defenders from the south gate and the north gate that were not yet attacked to reinforce the east gate.

As a result, the defenders at the South Gate became much weaker, but since the Wei army's main siege directions were the West Gate and the East Gate, and the South Gate was not threatened, the remaining troops were relatively relaxed.

But who would have thought that an army of nearly 10,000 people suddenly emerged from the Wei army. What else could it be possible to not make the defenders of the South Gate stunned?

The infantry battalion's attack was like mercury draining the ground. Hundreds of cloud ladders stood up in one go, and they were lined up in a row. The Wei army on the cloud ladders were densely packed, like locusts and ants. Their movements were very fast, and in just a few blinks, they had already climbed the cloud ladders.

The Shu army guarding the city wanted to block the Wei army with bows and arrows and rolling wooden stones, but the dense rain of arrows shot from the city made them unable to even lift their heads, so they could only hide behind the battlements. Once they showed up, they would be at risk of being shot.

The Wei army not only moved quickly, but also had a very tacit understanding in the cooperation between various troops. They even dared to use bows and arrows to cover the Wei army's infantry before climbing to the top of the city, without worrying about accidentally hurting the robes.

The suppressed shooting of the Wei army's crossbowmen provided strong fire cover for the siege troops. Under such a dense rain of arrows, the Shu army was hard to find even the opportunity to raise their heads.

It is said that it is difficult to attack the city but easy to defend the city, but in the face of absolute strength, the gods are all floating clouds. Thousands of archers and crossbowmen fire at the same time. Although they are attacking from the top, such a terrifying rain of arrows still leaves the Shu army guarding the city without any resistance.

When the arrow rain stopped and the Shu army was able to stand up straight, the Wei soldiers were already holding shields and jumping to the top of the city with a bright ring-headed sword. The Shu army could only respond hastily and fought with the Wei army on the top of the city.

At first, the Shu army had the advantage in terms of number of people, but they had not yet woken up from the terrifying nightmare of the Wei army's arrow rain. Most of them were still in a daze and fought hand-to-hand combat with the Wei army in this state, and they were not even prepared for this.

After the Wei army entered the city, it did not launch a powerful attack on the Shu army. Instead, it quickly formed an arc-shaped formation, with several or more Wei soldiers standing side by side with shields facing outwards to resist the attacks of the Shu army, and at the same time left enough space behind it to facilitate the Wei army that would subsequently climb the city.

Therefore, although the Wei soldiers who climbed the city in advance did not have any advantage in terms of numbers, their defensive position made the Shu army, which had obvious advantage in numbers, have no choice.

In general siege operations, the defending party is not particularly afraid of enemy soldiers attacking the upper city. Usually they are prepared for this. Once enemy soldiers come to the city, there will be a defender who will counterattack vigorously, killing the enemy troops in the upper city on the top of the city or driving them down. Only when the movement is fast enough, the enemy troops in the upper city do not have the advantage of the number of people, and the initiative is still in the defender.

But this opportunity is also fleeting. Since some enemy troops climbed the city, it will be difficult for the defenders to stop the enemy troops who climbed the city one after another on this city wall. They must kill the enemy troops who climbed the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, more and more enemy troops will be able to climb the city one after another. Once the enemy troops climbed the city have the advantage, the city will be declared lost.

At this moment, the Shu army wanted to counterattack and strangle the Wei army on the top of the city, but the Wei army was all shield soldiers, with tight defenses, and the Shu army could not find any flaws.

Time passes by minute by minute, and almost every two or three breaths, a Wei army will climb the city. They will enter one after another and join the ranks of hand-to-hand combat.

As more and more Wei troops climbed the city, the Shu army was completely unable to resist. Not to mention counterattacking, under the attack of the Wei army, they soon became defeated and the South Gate naturally fell.

The news of the attack on the South Gate reached Huo Yi at the first time. When Huo Yi heard this, his head buzzed and exploded. This time he was completely confused. Which was the main attack direction of the Wei army?

West Gate, East Gate, or South Gate?

Judging from the previous battle situation, the Wei army's attacks were full of firepower, and there seemed to be no such thing as a feint. Whether it was the battle between the West Gate or the East Gate, if Huo Yi had not personally commanded and fought hard to resist, Wei County would have been lost long ago.

Just when Huo Yi thought that the Wei army had already invested all its troops in the battle between the East and West Gate, another Wei army came out from the South Gate, and the number seemed to be more. The guards of the South Gate had urgently asked Huo Yi for help. If Huo Yi did not dispatch reinforcements to him, the South Gate would definitely not be able to defend.

What the guards of the South Gate said was true. After two draws, there were only a small half-man left. With the current troops at the South Gate, the troops at the South Gate were not enough to resist the strong attack of the Wei army. Without reinforcements, they could not last long.

But Huo Yi had no rich troops in his hands at this moment. Faced with the fierce attack of the Wei army, Huo Yi had already put all the troops he could invest in the battle and had no more energy.
