The siege battle entered a white-hot level from the beginning, and Zhong Hui barely made any tentative attacks, and directly invested in the heavy army and launched a fierce offensive against Fucheng.

Because Zhong Hui can't wait, he doesn't have time to play the siege war slowly, he must fight quickly, lest it will change later. Now that the capital of Shu has not yet been taken Chengdu, Jiang Wei's main force has gone to Langzhong, although it has deviated from the main battlefield, it is still a force to be reckoned with, Zhong Hui must capture Fucheng in the shortest possible time and open up the road to Chengdu.

The siege battle is the most difficult of all battles, but Zhong Hui is not too worried, after all, Wei and Wu are all away battles in Yizhou, and there is no popular support available, not to compare, the Wu people who reneged on the alliance and abandoned the covenant and fell into the well are more likely to be hated by the Shu people than the Wei people, Lu Kang wants to hold Fucheng, the only thing he can count on is the troops he brought, and he definitely can't count on the strength of the Shu people in the city.

And Zhong Hui's troops are more than the Wu army, Zhong Hui had 120,000 troops under his command before the Shu invasion, after the annexation of Zhuge Xu's army, his strength was expanded to 150,000, this time to Fucheng, in addition to Hanzhong left 20,000 horses and 10,000 horses, and then throw away the number of casualties, Zhong Hui also has 110,000 troops in his hands, more than twice as many as the 50,000 or 60,000 people of Lu Kang, and captured Fucheng, Zhong Hui is still full of confidence.

From the beginning of the attack, Zhonghui has adopted a continuous attack method, although the troops invested at one time are not too much, but after each wave of attack, no matter how many casualties there are, they will retreat and be attacked by the next wave of teams, and the attack echelon discharged by Zhonghui has even reached as many as ten waves.

Zhong Hui wanted to use this kind of high-intensity attacks to break the will of the Wu army defending the city, and constantly put pressure on the Wu army in the continuous attack, and the repeated attacks could also ensure the physical strength of the Wei soldiers. Keep them in a scrappy state at all times. Siege warfare is a difficult battle of blocking and seeking, and as a commander, Zhong Hui is naturally prepared to fight a tough battle and fight a protracted battle. The battle in turn can give full play to the numerical advantage of the Wei army, and if the battle continues, the Wu army defending the city will naturally be exhausted, so that it can win more opportunities for the Wei army.

Lu Kang did feel the pressure. The Wei army was like the tide of the Yangtze River, flowing endlessly, repelling a wave of Wei attack, and the next wave of Wei army pounced fiercely, and the momentum of the offensive not only did not fade, but became more and more courageous, and the momentum became more and more fierce.

The entire city was almost caught in a rain of arrows and a sea of fire, and the Wu army used all the weapons it could use. Bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones, boiling water, fire oil, and even stones, bricks, and tiles, as long as they took the weapons used, they were thrown without hesitation, countless ladders were burned in the flames, and countless Wei soldiers wailed and struggled in the sea of fire.

War is always the most cruel, how fragile life is on the battlefield, the whole Fucheng city is full of the corpses of Wei soldiers and Wu soldiers. The casualties of the siege were obviously greater than those of the defenders, and the number of casualties suffered by the Wei state under the city. Naturally, there are more than Wu Jun.

But the Wei soldiers turned a blind eye to the death of Paoze, and attacked one after another stronger than one wave, under the cover of bows and crossbows, using all the siege resources that could be used, ladders, arrows, ropes, as long as they could step on the city. Do everything, everyone is afraid of death, and they don't care about their lives.

Hu Lie personally supervised the battle outside the land under the city walls, and although ordinary bows and arrows could not hurt him, the powerful catapults and bed crossbows could easily blast him into powder. The Chinese army tried to persuade him to retreat to safety, but Hu Lie did not move. Although catapults and bed crossbows are incredibly destructive, their accuracy and accuracy are not flattering, and they can only be compensated for by a large amount of diffuse fire.

Hu Lie didn't believe that his life would be carried to the extreme, those bed crossbows and catapults came specifically to find his bad luck, standing in the position of the front line, it could better motivate morale, if it wasn't for Zhong Youling's first, Hu Lie might even personally participate in the siege battle.

The fighting continued like this, and the two sides fought from the beginning of the red sun to the waning West Mountain, up and down Fucheng, and there were many corpses.

Zhong Hui is still impressed by the will of Wu Bing, Zhong Hui participated in the Battle of Shouchun, Wu Bing's performance in that battle can be described as bad, not only Huainan did not belong to Eastern Wu, even Zhuge Dan, who surrendered to Wu, was also killed, and Wu Bing took the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in vain. And now that the times have changed, the team of Wu people has shown a very high fighting spirit under the training of Lu Kang, which is indeed commendable.

Zhong Hui didn't expect to take Xia Fu City in one day, this big battle, to the end, must be a big contest of will and perseverance, to see who can't resist first, to see who collapses first. Seeing the red sun sinking in the west, Zhong Hui ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and prepare to fight again in the coming day.

The Wei army retreated like a tidal wave, and Lu Kang was secretly relieved above the city, the first day of the battle was so fierce, it was obvious that the next battle would be unusually difficult.

But Lu Kang didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, Fucheng was already in the bag of Wu State, how could he allow others to get involved, and the dishes he ate were eaten, Lu Kang really didn't have the habit of spitting it out, even if the Wei soldiers were fierce, Lu Kang would fight for every inch of land and fight against each other.

The most important thing is that Fucheng is still related to the gains and losses of Chengdu, and if you can defend Fucheng, you will have the opportunity to block the Wei soldiers and calmly eat the remnants of Shu Han, and once Fucheng is lost, Wu will lose the opportunity to fight for Chengdu.

What's more, Fucheng is the terminal of Wu Army's water transportation, and all grain and grass baggage must be transported to Fucheng first, and then transferred to other places by land, so that the transportation center is not allowed to break, otherwise, the 100,000 army will be in a state of no food, and it will not be finished.

Looking at the back of the Wei army in the distance, Lu Kang was already thinking about the battle situation the next day.

"Qi Yu Governor, the person under the city, claims to be a messenger sent by the Zhong Society, and there is a letter to present to the Governor." China Junyu reports.

Lu Kang was slightly surprised, both sides have hit this part, Zhong Hui wrote at this time, what is the purpose? Lu Kang was curious and said, "Bring it up!" ”

The envoy of Wei quickly came to Lu Kang, gave a deep salute, handed over Zhong Hui's letter, and said, "My family has asked General Lu to read it. ”

Lu Kang received the letter in his hand and dismantled it. (To be continued......)
