Chapter 867: Heavy Rain
The Huainan army retreated in frustration, and Sima Shi did not send troops to pursue, but just smiled coldly and watched the Huainan army flee back to Shouchun City.
Poor Kou Mo chases, Sima Shi will not give the Huainan Army any chance to counterattack, not to mention, if Sima Jun wants to cross this trench, it will not be easy.
Anyway, the besieged Huainan Army is already a turtle in the urn, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated, and Sima Shi will not fight for this time.
Sima Shi fought strictly according to Sima Yi's strategy, while Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu acted according to Wang Ling's will.
The breakthrough failed, so that Wang Ling was in a dead end, and now there is not much time left for Wang Ling, if there is no other way, he can only sit and wait for death.
In this breakthrough operation, Wang Ling's role as the queen of the palace was deployed according to the original plan, and after Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu opened the way to break through, Wang Ling would lead the rear team to leave Shouchun City.
But Wang Ling didn't wait for the news of Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu's successful breakthrough after all, so he naturally didn't be able to leave Shouchun City.
After Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu fled back to the city with the remnants of the defeated army, they immediately went to see Wang Ling.
At this moment, Wang Ling had already received a report that the breakthrough had failed, and he did not reprimand his two sons, because he knew very well that the battle for the breakthrough would be the most difficult battle, and the cunning Sima Yi was willing to spend a year and a half patiently besieging Shouchun, how could he let them calmly complete the breakthrough.
Thinking about it from this aspect, in fact, Wang Ling was still mentally prepared for the failure of this breakthrough, but seeing his two sons come back with a bloody face, Wang Ling couldn't help but sigh.
Could it be that their Wang family's luck really had to stop at Shouchun City?
Of course, Wang Feixiao was unwilling, and he told Wang Ling that the main reason for the failure of this breakthrough was due to intelligence errors, and he had not been fully prepared in advance, so he was not able to break through Sima Jun's defense line.
After returning from this withdrawal, Wang Feixiao was ready to raise troops and horses again, appropriately adjust the way of breaking through the encirclement according to the new situation, and strive to launch the battle of breakthrough again in the shortest possible time.
Because everyone knows very well that with the current grain and grass situation in Shouchun City, it really can't last long, if the Huainan army can't complete the breakthrough as soon as possible, once the food is exhausted, then what awaits them is only to fall apart and die.
Although it is said that this breakthrough failed, Wang Feixiao thinks that this tuition is not in vain, at least he has figured out the deployment of Sima Jun's defensive line, so in the next breakthrough battle, he can effectively rearrange and deploy, at least he will not make today's mistakes again.
Wang Ling looked serious, he was not as optimistic as Wang Feixiao, what kind of person Sima Yi was, Wang Ling naturally knew best, he didn't give you a chance the first time, and he wouldn't give it the second time, although Wang Feixiao swore that he had figured out Sima Jun's routine, but Sima Yi was full of tricks, and the Huainan Army would make adjustments, but how could you know that Sima Yi's defense line would remain unchanged?
However, Wang Ling couldn't bear to hit Wang Feixiao's self-confidence, and now that the Huainan Army was at the critical juncture of life and death, the only confidants Wang Ling could rely on were probably his two sons.
Although in the matter of breaking through, Wang Ling knew that with Sima Yi's methods, he would never give them any more chances, if he didn't succeed the first time, and then he wanted to succeed, the possibility would become very small.
But now at the most critical juncture, the Huainan army has no other way to choose except to break through, Wang Ling is not old, he can't ride a horse or lift a knife, otherwise Wang Ling will be the first soldier, and he will lead the army to the front.
But now he can't accept the old age, and the charge can only be handed over to his two sons to do, although there is little hope, but after all, it is better than no hope.
The failure of the breakout, so that the morale of the Huainan army fell to the freezing point, compared to the breakthrough before, the army heart is more scattered, this breakthrough, the Huainan army lost a lot of people, and in the process of retreat, those soldiers who originally had the intention of surrender are even more deserted, did not follow the army back to the city, but took the initiative to break away from the army, looking for an appropriate opportunity to surrender to the Sima army.
Due to the strict military discipline of Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu, many soldiers who tried to escape were captured by them and sentenced to death.
This method of killing chickens and monkeys did deter many people who tried to go out of the city and surrender, so that they had to dispel this idea, after all, no one dared to joke about their heads.
But this breakthrough failed, and in the process of evacuation, Wang Feixiao could no longer care about those who surrendered, they broke away from the ranks of the Huainan army in groups, and took the initiative to surrender to Sima Jun, so that Wang Feixiao would arrest them back to the Fa.
Therefore, the heavy losses in Huainan this time were not only casualties, but also a large number of fleeing people, so that the attrition this time was very serious, and the Huainan army lost almost one-third of its troops.
The huge loss of troops made Wang Feixiao's next preparation for breaking through again become overstretched, and there were not enough troops to guarantee it, and it was difficult to break through Sima Jun's defensive line.
First of all, in order to break through the trench defense line of the Sima army, at least a sufficient number of sandbags must be prepared to fill the trenches of the Sima army. This time he suffered a loss because he did not prepare enough sandbags and broke through the first line of defense on the periphery, Wang Feixiao thought that he was a horse and a flat river, but in fact, Sima Jun's defense line was much stronger than he imagined, and the number was by no means more than one or two, to prepare sandbags, it must be as many as possible, and it must not appear to hit the back, and even the sandbags to fill the enemy's trenches are gone.
Secondly, it is necessary to solve the problem of the morale of the Huainan army, after the failure of the first breakthrough, the morale of the Huainan army has become much lower, if you go to attack in this state, it is difficult to play the momentum of the first breakthrough.
Wang Feixiao is not ready to push the second breakthrough back, he is ready to strike while the iron is hot, prepare for the attack in the shortest possible time, and in two days, he will be put into the attack again.
But the weather was not beautiful, and on the third day, it was a sudden heavy rain, and the bad weather made Wang Feixiao have to suspend his action, and he could only wait until the rain stopped to attack again.
But this rain seems to be against Wang Feixiao, and for several days, the rain is pouring down, and there is no sign of stopping.
