Chapter 1164: To add insult to injury
And the male doesn't seem to be beautiful, the already terrible rain has become worse, and the cold rain, mixed with snow flakes, makes the air even colder.
The Wei army had made sufficient preparations before this, and since the start of the war had been delayed into winter, the Wei army prepared a large number of warm clothes to prepare for the cold of winter.
However, although Wei Jun's clothes were thickly worn, they did not have the function of rainproof, and after the heavy winter clothes were wet by the rain, they were cold and heavy, and with the heavy iron helmets and iron armor, the weight simply did not know how much it increased, and everyone was overwhelmed, making the action sluggish.
What's even more difficult is that the soaked winter clothes are heavy and wet and cold, and many people are frozen, and they dare not take off their clothes in this cold, so they can only struggle in the cold.
This state made the Wei army's offensive even weaker, the bad atmosphere with the muddy roads, and the tenacious defenders, so that the Wei army who came to attack the city could not see any hope, looking at the misty and rainy Guancheng, one by one hung their heads, shook their heads and sighed.
It's not that they don't do their best, but the current gas and road conditions are too bad, and the war pays attention to the right time, place and people, and they don't occupy any of these three things, and it is indeed difficult to conquer Dongguan and Xiguan.
Every time Han Zong attacked Wu, he showed extra hard work, which is of course related to his background, he was born in Eastern Wu, although he defected to Wei and was reused by Zhuge Dan, but Han Zong can still feel the rejection of him by the generals of the Wei army, after all, he is an outsider to the Wei army, and it is difficult for him to integrate into this circle.
Many people actually don't really believe in Han Zong, so every time he fights with the Wu army, Han Zong works extra hard and kills as many Wu soldiers as he can, just so that others can believe that he has really drawn a clear line with Eastern Wu, and he really has to surrender to Wei with sincerity, even if he offends his former colleagues because of this, and makes the monarchs and ministers of Wu State hate him to the core.
Since Han Zong has betrayed Wu State, then he no longer calls himself a native of Wu State, Wu Guorao has nothing to do with him, and if he wants to gain a foothold in Wei State, he must strive for greater military merit, which is what he needs to do.
However, this attack on Dongguan does not seem to be smooth, Han Zong has done his best, but the city defense of Dongguan is quite strong, attacking three times in a row, and the Wei army has made no progress, which makes Han Zong quite depressed, if he can't take Dongguan as soon as possible, maybe he will be someone with ulterior motives who is not working and deliberately to destroy him.
Han Zong is indeed hard enough, as the vanguard officer of the siege, he has been on the front line for three years, and he hardly closes his eyes, only temporarily resting for three or two hours, and most of the rest of the time, he is on the front line to supervise the battle.
The Wei army was not good at attacking the city, and Han Zong even came to the city in person to boost morale, but Han Zong was too hateful, once he entered the range of the Wu army's bows and arrows, almost all the bows and arrows would pour towards him, making him unable to parry, fortunately, he was very turbulent, otherwise he would probably be shot into a hedgehog by random arrows.
Zhuge Dan has always been very heavy on Han Zong, although Han Zong is a general, but he works extra hard to fight, which is better than his own generals, so every time Han Zong plays the role of charging into battle, and has also made a lot of achievements for Zhuge Dan.
But this attack on Dongguan, but repeatedly frustrated, obviously not Han Zong's attitude, he is indeed hard enough, but the time and place are not on their side, if you want to take Dongguan, it is indeed not easy.
The rain and snow continued all night, and in the midst of this bleak wind and cold rain, although the offensive of the Wei army was still fierce, it gained very little, and even the walls of Dongguan and Xiguan were not touched, but piles of people died under the city.
The corpses had not had time to be cleaned up, and they froze straight into ice corpses, which were covered with ice ballast, as if they had not been stabbed to death by arrows, but as if they had frozen to death.
Wei Jun's greatest wish now is to hope that this cold rain can stop, but it backfired, the rain and snow did not fall, but the goose feather snow fell in the air, and the flying snowflakes seemed to make people feel that they had returned to the north.
It is true that in the Jianghuai area, it is rare to see such heavy snow, and only in the north of the country in the Central Plains will there be such a scenery of thousands of miles of ice and snow.
The sudden heavy snowfall made the air even more cold, the road surface was more slippery and muddy, and the wind and snow blocked the road, Zhuge Dan had to order a suspension of the siege, let the Wei army rest in place, and wait until the snow stopped, and then launch an attack.
Attacking in the snow, the chance of breaking through the city will become even more slim, although Zhuge Dan is also eager to make a profit, but at this moment, he also has to be sympathetic to some soldiers, at this time, the siege of the city, not only in vain, but will cause the Wei army to have greater casualties, in vain loss of soldiers and horses, why bother
Therefore, Zhuge Dan ordered to camp in place, the Wei army reached the embankment through the pontoon bridge, the embankment blocked the wet water, in the north of the embankment, there is an ocean, and in the south of the embankment, there is a flat land. The Wei army was so numerous that it was impossible to gain a foothold on the embankment, so many men and horses were stationed on the south side of the embankment, camped under the embankment, and set up a temporary camp to shelter from the wind and snow.
Sima Zhao and a cadre of soldiers are all northerners, for this heavy snow is naturally nothing uncommon, in the north, they have not seen a snowstorm greater than this, now Sima Zhao only hopes that this kind of wind and snow can be stopped as soon as possible, so that the Wei army can re-devote itself to the attack on Zheng
But look at this gas, it seems that the heavy snow has no signs of stopping, but there is a possibility of getting bigger and bigger, Sima Zhao sighed, it seems that this old man also seems to be against them, as soon as he sent out the troops, he encountered this bad bad atmosphere, if this snow has not stopped, I am afraid that this military operation will be aborted.
You know, this is the first time Sima Zhao has led troops in the real sense of the word, and he originally expected this battle to be able to raise his eyebrows and return to Luoyang infinitely, but looking at the current situation, his face is almost the same.
The Wei army's attack was frustrated, but a bad news came again, the reinforcements of the Wu army had been killed from Jianye and reached Xutang, which was not far from Dongxing.
