At the gate of the city, the soldiers outside wanted to attack, and the soldiers inside wanted to stop the enemy. They fought fiercely in this small area. Soldiers fell every moment. After a while, There were piles of corpses as high as one person, making it increasingly difficult to attack.
The fighting on the other side of the city wall was equally fierce. Some soldiers finally climbed up the city wall, but were wiped out by the defenders. In this round of attrition wars, soldiers on both sides suffered heavy losses.
Not far from the city wall, several generals were very busy. They directed the army to launch attacks one after another. Dianyi and the generals were obviously red-eyed. If Wang Qizhi hadn't dissuaded them, they might have Roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.
Fighting from dawn to dusk, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.
Seeing this situation, Wang Qizhi said to Su Wu: "Let Dianyi and Huang Wenxuan's troops withdraw, and let your and An Yi's troops go up. I don't believe it. Wei Meng's army is an iron man."
Dian Yi and Huang Wenxuan were obviously dissatisfied and wanted to charge forward again, but Wang Qizhi scolded them, "Now is not the time to show off. You should ask them to withdraw quickly. There are many battles for you to fight."
They had ten thousand reluctances in their hearts, but they still allowed the army to withdraw and rest, while the troops of Wu Anyi and Su Wu pushed forward.
According to statistics, they suffered more than 20,000 casualties in this attack. They fought for only one day. If the time was delayed further, I don't know how many casualties there would be.
The troops on Wang Qizhi's side could take turns to rest, but Wei and Meng's side could not. Those soldiers had to drag their exhausted bodies to fight until they lasted four days.
Wang Qizhi and Wei Meng negotiated a two-day truce. This was not because the former was kind-hearted, but to treat the wounded and dispose of corpses to prevent the outbreak of plague. During this period, no one could launch an attack, otherwise they would be hated by everyone in the world. , and will even lose the support of the people.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Wang Qizhi had not slept for several days. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of exhaustion.
He called all the generals together for a short meeting to formulate the next step.
In just a few days, Wang Qizhi lost 50,000 troops, and Wei Meng also lost 10,000 troops. It seems to be similar to what he had expected. If he captures this place, he will lose at least 100,000 troops. This is This was hard for Wang Qizhi to accept.
During this period, Pang Tong continuously transported grain and grass to this place, so that the soldiers could eat and drink enough, otherwise they would have mutinied long ago.
After everyone dispersed, Wang Qizhi leaned on his chair and fell asleep. Many generals stopped when they saw this scene and couldn't bear to disturb him.
The next day, the two sides were still in a truce, so Wang Qizhi rode his horse to the city wall again and shouted to Wei Meng: "You'd better surrender! We will treat all soldiers preferentially."
Wei Meng was very angry when he saw this kid spreading rumors again. If it weren't for the truce period, he would have really wanted to go down and compete with this kid.
"Hurry up and be a bastard for me. We won't accept your tricks."
Wang Qizhi ignored this guy's words and continued: "Soldiers on the top of the city, if you continue like this, you will only die. Rather than follow Wei Meng and die, it is better to surrender and still have a way to survive."
Those are soldiers and not fools, so they naturally understand that surrender is their only chance to survive now, but their families are all under Wei Meng's control. If they really surrender, their whole family will not survive, and they will have to fight to the death. .
Wei Meng stood up straight, glared at Wang Qizhi angrily, and said: "Boy, don't push yourself too far. We are in the truce period now, and you can't do anything about the war. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world if you come here to surrender like this? ?”
What he said was indeed reasonable. Wang Qizhi was speechless. He pondered for a long time before speaking: "I just want to give the soldiers a chance to die. I didn't expect you to be so careless about their life and death. In this case , I took my leave."
After saying that, he left here on his horse.
The next day, all the corpses had been disposed of, and the city gate became extremely tidy.
It's not that Wei Meng didn't want to pile up these corpses to block the enemy's attack, but doing so was really unethical and would be disgusted by everyone in the world.
When the time came, Wang Qizhi immediately issued an order for the army to launch an attack. Just as the fighting was fierce, more than 20,000 people suddenly appeared from behind Wang Qi. The leader was Lu Qingchuan. They went straight to the rear of the army. If If they succeed, Wang Qi's army will definitely be in chaos.
Fortunately, Wang Qizhi had already made full preparations, letting Jiang Chong's 40,000 people lie in ambush behind, waiting for the fish to take the bait. As for the Yue Tiansi people, Wang Qizhi naturally had another use.
The masters of both sides immediately strangled each other, and Wang Qizhi also flashed to the battlefield at the rear. As Wei Meng's henchman, Lu Qingchuan would continue to attack them if he was not wiped out.
Wang Qizhi and Jiang Chong were floating in the air, confronting Lu Qingchuan from a distance. He looked at the two of them, with no fear in his eyes, and said:
"Both of you are at the fourth level of Zhongtian. If you two attack together, won't you be afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
Wang Qizhi sneered and said: "When the two armies are fighting, there is no moral justice in the world. As long as we can win, it doesn't matter if we bully the minority."
Jiang Chong said: "Lord, don't talk nonsense with this guy, just do it!"
Wang Qizhi and Jiang Chong glanced at each other, then took action together and started fighting with Lu Qingchuan.
Although Lu Qingchuan was at the same level of martial arts as the two, he was alone and weak, so how could he be their opponent? After hundreds of fights, he was injured by the two of them. If he continued like this, he would definitely die here. Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away. Wang Qizhi gave him no chance to escape, so he chased after him on the dragon. , was eventually swallowed by him, and ended up dead without any body parts.
The battle circle below was coming to an end. Most of the enemies had been killed, and only a few hundred people were left gathered together. Jiang Chong wanted his men to eradicate all these people, but was stopped by Wang Qizhi's look. Dare to make opinions.
Wang Qizhi came to the trapped masters and was about to say something when they all raised their weapons and committed suicide.
Wang Qizhi sighed softly and said regretfully: "Why are you doing this?"
Jiang Chong was not surprised and said: "My lord, Lu Qingchuan and Wei Meng tried every means to control these black-gold people in order to make them listen to their words. Now that Lu Qingchuan is dead, they will naturally go with him." .”
Wang Qizhi looked at Jiang Chong with suspicious eyes and said, "I wonder, Commander, have you used these methods to control your subordinates?"
