Chapter 923: Zhan Xindu (continued)

However, after years of fierce battles, the Yang'an army did not fear because of the strength of the enemy, on the contrary, it inspired their fighting spirit hidden in the bottom of their hearts, in the face of the Jin army that poured like a tide, all the soldiers of the Yang'an army under the leadership of the protector Zhao Zhuo, united as one, high morale, stuck to the forefront of the city, and launched a desperate battle with the enemy.

The main target of the Jin army is the relatively weak south wall of Xindu City, Wen Yang personally supervised the battle under the city, commanded the Jin army to launch round after round of fierce attacks on the south city wall, Wen Yang personally supervised the battle, the morale of the Jin army was high, and the spirit of the army was high to attack the Xindu City.

The southern city wall is the most dilapidated, and the Jin army has used catapults to carry out a destructive attack on the city wall before launching the offensive, and the entire southern city wall has been damaged in many places, and several places have collapsed to varying degrees, and the entire city defense is in danger.

The Jin army attacked the weakness of the Shu army, and rushed into the gap in the southern city wall. In the face of the Jin army coming like locusts, Zhao Zhuo personally went to the southern city wall to command the battle, temporarily used sandbags to seal the gap, and deployed a large number of crossbowmen to suppress the Jin army that rushed up.

Yuan Rong crossbow at this time played a great role, because the Jin army is too dense, a shot of ten arrows of Yuan Rong crossbow almost became a big killing weapon, hundreds of Yuan Rong crossbow at the same time to fire crossbow arrows, can form a death fan, even if the Jin army uses a shield, can not make a hundred percent defense, crossbow arrows like mercury leaking the ground, pervasive, rushing to the front of the Jin army is one after another to the ground, casualties are many.

The first wave of the Jin army's attack was repulsed, and the Shu army also got some respite, taking advantage of this opportunity, constantly using sandbags to build high gaps to make up for the defensive line of the city wall.

In the battle of being outnumbered, the importance of the city wall is self-evident, it is because of this high wall that the few soldiers have the ability to compete with the more soldiers, and the collapse of the city wall is almost fatal, so the Shu army must repair the city wall, otherwise once the Jin army breaks the defense line, the result will be devastating.

However, the Jin army seemed to be unwilling to be frustrated, and the second wave of attacks followed, Wenyang invested more troops and launched an attack on Xindu City with all his might, and the entire southern city wall line, the Jin army's ranks were densely packed, almost becoming a sea of white.

The battle was carried out very cruelly, the city and the city, the corpses pillowed each other, the heavy smell of blood permeated the air, the ears were always resounding with the rumbling war drums, the drums were as dense as raindrops, urging people to forge ahead, the corpses and blood seemed to have been ignored, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, not giving an inch, fighting to the death, the tragedy of the battle was beyond words.

The Jin army is bound to win the Xindu City, and the Shu army is fighting to the death, such a contest itself is the tip of the needle against Maimang, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, at this time, it is no longer a simple contest of force, more is a contest of willpower between the two sides, who has strong willpower, who is likely to hold on to the end, see the moment of victory.

The Jin army occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and it is overwhelming the Shu army in terms of momentum, but the Shu army is good at fighting in adversity, and under the disadvantage, there is no idea of giving up.

The tenacity of the Shu army made Wen Yang a little surprised, originally thought that the one-sided situation did not appear, but Wen Yang was not too anxious, the siege of the city requires patience, in this era, it is very laborious to attack a city, if you do not have firearms like the Shu army, take a city for as few as dozens of days or months, and more than a few years, Xindu is a state city after all, although it is broken, but the height and thickness of the city wall can not be compared with those small counties, so the first day of the attack was frustrated, Wen Yang didn't care at all, and after resting for a night, the next day, the Jin army's offensive was still like a tide, and there was no sign of weakening at all.

Zhao Zhuo's face was very grim, this was indeed the most disparity and tragedy experienced by the Yang'an army after leaving Shudi, if Xindu City was intact, Zhao Zhuo had enough confidence in holding Xindu, but now Xindu City is like a dilapidated and rotten ship, walking around the wind and leaking water, but it encountered a storm and stormy waves, and it was very difficult not to capsize.

But no matter how difficult it is, Zhao Zhuo must also insist, before getting Liu Yin's order, Zhao Zhuo will never evacuate without authorization, even if the Yang'an army is all over, and only one soldier is left, then it must not be easily given up, this is where the spirit of the Shu army lies.

What's more, Zhao Zhuo and even all the soldiers of the Yang'an Army believed that the large army of the Shu army would not give up on them, and the governor Liu Yin would not give up on them, as long as they persisted, they would definitely get hope.

Gaoyang, the temporary base camp of the Shu army.

The Jin army launched a sudden attack, which was both unexpected and reasonable.

Unexpectedly because the Jin army was obviously not fully prepared before the attack, whether it was soldiers and grain and grass, the Jin army was not in place, and it seemed to be very hasty to launch an attack without being in place, but this also reflected the Jin State's eagerness to eliminate the Shu army and expel the Shu army from Jizhou.

In fact, the opportunities for both sides are equal, and the preparation of the Jin army is not in place, but the Shu army is not the case, and even the Shu army is far more difficult than the Jin army, and the long supply line seriously delays the preparation of the Shu army. If the Jin army is fully prepared before launching an attack, then the Shu army is likely to have made sufficient preparations for the battle, and from this aspect, Sima Jun has the intention of taking the lead.

Liu Yin also received the news of the Jin army's attack at the first time in Gaoyang, and the first attack on Xindu was almost no different from Liu Yin's judgment, but in order to pursue the remnants of the Huns, the Shu army's troop allocation in Jizhou was unbalanced, and most of the main forces were concentrated in the north of Jizhou, and at present, the Jin army attacked the central part of Jizhou, the troop allocation was much weaker, like Xindu only one army of Yang'an Army was stationed, and several counties in Jizhong, such as Changshan, Julu and other places, there was only one army guarded, If troops are transferred from nearby places to rescue Xindu, it is obvious that the troops are insufficient, but if the main force is transferred back from northern Hebei, it will be difficult to quench the thirst of the near water.
