"The Wei army retreated...?"

The defenders on the city wall looked confused.

Why would you withdraw at this time?

How many troops did the Wei army invest? The attack on the city should have been done in one go.

But Yu Wenxiong was very calm.

"Give me the order and leave three thousand people to clean the battlefield. The rest should seize the time to rest. If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will launch an attack in the afternoon."

"Wagon war?"

"That's right."

"Really?"

Meng Ziang didn't know why, but he still obeyed the order.

The guards on the city wall quickly cleaned the battlefield, and the bodies of the Wei soldiers were thrown under the city, and then quickly replenished the city's defense supplies...

Yu Wenxiong's guess was correct. By the end of the afternoon, the Wei army launched another attack.

The tactics were the same as the first time, there were still two phalanxes of 5,000 men, one for the main attack and one for the preparation.

It is almost a replica of the first siege battle. The archers at the rear are shooting to interfere, while the front is attacking the city.

Their attack was still fierce. Yu Wenxiong personally supervised the battle on the city wall, and the Daning defenders also had a strong fighting spirit.

Both sides suffered losses, but in comparison, the siege side naturally suffered greater losses.

What is surprising is that when the siege lasted for more than half an hour, the Wei army once again called for gold and retreated.

By this time, they all understood that the enemy was going to engage in wheel warfare.

But this doesn't make sense either.

Since it is a wheel battle, it should be a non-stop siege, but this leaves time for rest.

The second siege ended hastily.

In this way, when it was idle until Youshi, which was almost dark, the Wei army launched another siege. The pattern was exactly the same as the previous two times.

The duration of the siege was roughly the same, and the troops were called back again.

It's already dark.

"How many casualties?"

"Nearly four thousand people."

"Back off."

Fan Rong waved his hand, turned to Zhu Zhen and said: "If I don't win over Yu Wenxiong, I will suffer a big loss."

"Your Highness, you cannot go back on your previous promises."

"That's natural."

Zhu Zhen knew what Fan Rong was talking about.

After Yu Wenxiong surrendered, the intelligence information provided was shared.

He knows it very well.

Fan Rong's original intention was not to attack the city, but to constantly put pressure on the Huncheng defenders. Faced with what was almost a wheel battle, the number of troops continued to decrease and casualties gradually increased.

This will make their morale lower and lower. In this case, if they still can't get rescue, what will they think?

It must be a desperate mentality!

In order to force Yu Wenxiong to surrender, it can be said that he took great pains!

Early the next morning.

The Wei army began to attack the city again, which still lasted about half an hour, but the interval was shorter.

They were given almost no time to rest today.

Yu Wenxiong only had more than 8,000 troops. Even with alternate rests, he was quite tired, and there were also casualties.

On this day, the Wei army attacked four times!

On the fourth day, a new round of siege began.

The Wei army attacked six times today.

The pace has obviously accelerated, and the casualties on the Huncheng side are also greater.

The intensive attacks gave them no chance to breathe, and they were simply exhausted physically and mentally.

County government office, meeting hall.

The atmosphere is even more depressing.

"Reinforcements are not coming."

Dou Jianchang said: "If there are reinforcements, they will come the next day, but after three days, I haven't even seen a shadow!"

"yes!"

"In the past three days, our army has suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, and its strength is only half. The most important thing is that the morale of the soldiers is completely lost. I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on for another day, and we will be abandoned!"

"Damn it! Who gave them the courage to do nothing to save them?"

"Wimpy and aggrieved!"

"Why are we fighting so hard against the enemy here?"

The generals are filled with resentment!

"General, what do you think we should do?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Wenxiong.

I saw that the general's face was slightly pale and his body was stained with blood. Others could rest, but he couldn't!

Since the enemy's attack on the city, Yu Wenxiong has been on the city wall so that every soldier can see him.

They couldn't help but sigh, they all remembered the deeds of this general.

During the Dakang period of the previous dynasty, he was replaced and abandoned twice, and this was still the case in the new dynasty.

How unfair is fate?

"Dou Jianchang!"

"The end will be here."

Yu Wenxiong said: "Find a way to send scouts out of the city tonight to send a message to Zhang Xun's tribe for rescue."

"General!"

"Zhang Xun will not come at all! Guo Lesheng will not come either!"

"yes!"

Others were very dissatisfied, but Dou Jianchang readily agreed.

He understood the implication of Yu Wenxiong's words.

The scouts were sent not to contact Zhang Xun's troops, but to contact the enemy.

The general is surrendering!

yes!

We are all desperate, there is no place for us in Daning, so why should we be loyal to the end?

"That's it, everyone stand down!"

Yu Wenxiong waved his hand.

Silence late at night.

A scout was quietly sent out of the city. He was Dou Jianchang's man and was arranged to get in touch with the Wei army.

He cautiously approached the Wei army's camp, but because he did not deliberately hide it, he was quickly discovered by Wei army scouts.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"I want to see Vice General Qu."

Qu Ying, a lieutenant in the Wei army's scouts, Dou Jianchang had sent someone to contact this person before, but nothing was confirmed.

"I have been ordered by my lord to come here to talk about my surrender."

"surrender?"

"Yes, but I want to see your general!"

Qu Ying knew that this matter was important and did not dare to neglect it. After reporting it at all levels, he arrived at Fan Rong's place.

“The wait is finally here!”
