The Three Kingdoms

"I'm not asking the Tenth Army to borrow troops, but to borrow siege equipment from the French Chief of Staff!" Mrs. Zhu Rong said.

"Siege equipment?"

Fazheng thought for a while: "You want to borrow siege equipment from our Tenth Army? Your No.14 Army's siege equipment is not weaker than our Tenth Army's. Why do you want to borrow it from us!"

"Chief of Staff, when we marched northward in a hurry, our army's siege equipment was basically not transported up, and they were all made temporarily. It is a little insufficient for a strong city like Xiabian!" Mrs. Zhu Rong explained.

"That's it!"

When Fazheng heard this, he thought about it for a while. For siege warfare, siege equipment is more important than soldiers.He thought for a while and said, "My Tenth Army is much more generous in this regard. I can allocate a batch to you, but they are all light!"

"I want trebuchets and siege engines!"

"Tabuchet?"

Fazheng gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will give you ten, I don't have any more. As for the siege engine, I can give you twenty!"

"Thank you, Chief of Staff Fa, for your generous donation!" Mrs. Zhu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and bowed to salute: "Our No.14 Army has recorded this favor!"

"you are welcome!"

Fazheng quickly said: "We are all fighting for Great Wu, as friendly forces, we must cooperate with each other!"

"One more thing, I want to ask the French chief of staff, when will the siege be launched from the east!" Zhu Rong thought for a while and said.

"Don't worry, the No. 14 Army is the main combat force of the Bashu Army. We will never let the No. 14 Army bear the pressure of Xiabiancheng alone. Commander Chen Dao will arrive at Pingling Mountain this evening. Tomorrow morning, the troops of our Bashu Army All soldiers and horses will launch a strong attack on Xiabian, and strive to win Xiabian within five days!"

With a serious face, Fazheng spoke directly.

……

The next day.

One day after the battle at the West City Gate started, the city's offensive and defensive battle officially broke out. The main force of the Wu army, led by Chen Dao, pressed directly from the southeast two directions.

"Order all the troops to beat the commander severely. The main purpose is not to attack Xiabian, but to kill and injure the Wei army and destroy his new force. If there is one, kill the other. If you don't surrender, kill!"

Chen Dao issued a military order from the headquarters, with murderous intent.

"kill!"

"Boys, form a death-death team for me and break through the city gate!"

"Ladder, go up the ladder!"

"Where are our archers, cover, cover quickly!"

The battles at the south gate and the east broke out at the same time, and the entire Xiabian City was in full swing, and the sky was dark.

"General, there is an emergency at the south gate. Captain Sima Kui has requested reinforcements three times!"

"General, the Wu army is attacking fiercely in the east, and Colonel Yang Xuan is also asking for reinforcements!"

The Wu army's offensive was too strong, and the battle lasted for two days, and the Wei army in the city couldn't bear it, and was in a hurry everywhere.

"Wu Lan can defend the west gate, where the Wu army is most aggressively attacking. Can't they defend it?"

However, Sima Yi, who sat firmly in the city and commanded the camp, was very calm: "Pass down my military order, and the guards of all ministries must support the city for ten days no matter what. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

A personal guard went down to convey his steadfast military orders.

"General, the east city and the south city are in critical condition. I'll go and have a look and cheer up the soldiers!" Yang Xiu said.

"Alright!"

Sima Yi nodded: "You can properly remind them that we don't necessarily have to defend Xiabian City to the death, but we must stick to it for at least ten days, and then consider the strategy of retreating!"

"I see!"

Yang Xiu nodded, and then walked out of the camp.

"Zhang Ren, now I've done everything I can, and it's up to you!" Sima Yi silently raised his head, his eyes staring at the blue sky with a hint of hope in his expression.

He pinned this battle on Zhang Ren.To be continued.

[Text 130 Chapter Four Dragon Tiger Fight Fifteen]

Wudu County, in the southwest direction, after leaving Xiabian City, the terrain is undulating, sparsely populated, and relatively barren. There is a small-scale town at the intersection of Bashu Guanghan County and Cizhi Hequ.

This small town is called Xidang Town.

On this day, on the outskirts of Xidang Town, a troop of soldiers and horses came from the west of the Zizhi River bend.

Banner: No.14 Army No.40 Fifth Division of the War Elephant Legion.

This is the army of the No.14 army that entered the Baima Qiang tribe. After breaking through seven Baima Qiang tribe camps in a row, it suddenly turned around and returned to Wudu instead of going straight to the Baima Qiang tribe.

The army marched to a hillside five miles outside the town. The division commander brought the cave master to rein in the horse. He raised his binoculars, looked at the small town in front of him, and then issued a military order: "Send my military order, and the whole division will be on the spot." Camp!"

"Yes!" The generals took orders and set up camp on the spot.

"Kang Lin, you immediately send a company of scout cavalry to go around Xidang Town first, and find out for me the movements of the Wei army in the town. I want to know the number of their troops and their deployment directions!"

Bring the cave master to think for a while, then looked at one of his generals and said.

"promise!"

After the battalion commander of the scout battalion took the order, he immediately dispatched one of his best company commanders, and asked him to lead hundreds of scout cavalry to grope forward.

"Master, are you afraid of an ambush ahead?"

Chief of Staff Ce came immediately and asked in a low voice.

This chief of staff is called Tanyue. Tanyue was born in the Shanyue tribe back then. He was in his early 30s. He once served under the Huangzhong Blood Wolf Army. He performed well and fought bravely. With his military exploits, he went from a small company commander to a regiment step by step long.

He just didn’t have much cultural knowledge. He was delayed twice by military planes, and was dismissed by Huang Zhong. Later, Huang Zhong saw that he was indeed a talent, and then recommended him to enter the military officer class of Jinling Lecture Hall for further studies.

After coming out, he was assigned to the War Elephant Corps.

Xu Sheng was very optimistic about him. In addition, he had the experience of the Shanyue tribe and was very familiar with the customs of these southern barbarians, so he was appointed as the chief of staff of the deputy general under the command of the cave master.

Although the No.14 Army is all soldiers from the Southern Barbarians, the basic chiefs of staff of the divisions are basically appointed from above.

After all, an army with tens of thousands of soldiers cannot be left under the control of Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong.

"We'd better be careful!"
