The last three kingdoms

Chapter 377 The Battle of the Street Pavilion ([-])

To be precise, Jietingai Valley was originally a huge river valley. During the Ice Age, the Longxi area was covered by huge glaciers. The gap formed today's Jieting ancient road, and only the power of nature can shape this unique topography.

Today's Jieting can no longer see the surging torrent. There is only a shallow river coming from the top of Longshan Mountain, like a thin jade belt, surrounding the earth mountain, and coming from the abandoned ancient city of Jieting. Flowing through, flowing eastward.

This small river is the only source of water for Jieting. Sima Wang has sent someone to check carefully. The earth mountain that the Shu army is facing does not have any springs and streams. If the Shu army wants to get water, they must come down the mountain. .

Sima Wang wasn't worried about any other water sources on the mountain. If there were, Ma Di wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.Water is the source of all things. People cannot live without water, and neither can livestock. As long as the water supply on the mountain is cut off, Sima Wang believes that within a few days, the Shu army will completely collapse.

Sima Wang did not send troops to guard the small river, but ordered Hu Shi to lead five thousand elite soldiers to lie in ambush one mile away from the river. Situation ventured down the mountain to fetch water. As long as they dared to come, there would be no return.

"Governor, your skill is indeed high. Within three days, the Shu army will be defeated!" Hu Shi said to Sima Wang flatteringly.

Sima Wang smiled slightly, regardless of the impenetrable defense on the earth hill, as long as the water source is cut off, the Wei army will be able to secure victory.On this point, Sima Wang is confident. Of course, there are successful precedents for this. Back then, Zhang Xi relied on this method to nail Ma Di to the pillar of shame in history, and it also made Zhuge Liang's hope of restoring the Central Plains and revitalizing the Han Dynasty come to naught. Similarly, Sima Wang is standing here today, and he is also confident that he will become a legend in history, recovering Longxi, and completely annihilating the Shu people on the land of Yongliang.

"Jumping beam clown!" Sima Wang snorted softly in his nostrils, and looked contemptuously at the top of the Tushan Mountain. The older generation, clowns who play tricks, are completely vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. My own army of [-] will definitely be able to crush them all the way, and clean them out of Longyou like sweeping garbage.

An opponent who doesn't even have the most basic military knowledge and military accomplishment is not worthy of Sima Wang's respect. In Shu, the only opponent who can be called an opponent is Jiang Wei. Sima Wang misses fighting Jiang Wei. In those days, you will meet good talents, and you will meet your opponents. This kind of battle can be regarded as a good fight.But the current opponent was simply too weak. Sima Wang turned his attention to the west. He could already start thinking about recovering the Longyou counties.

At most three days, only three more days of delay in Jieting can completely solve the problem of Jieting. At that time, the Shu soldiers will definitely not be able to hold on, and going down the mountain to break through will become their only way out.

There is no need for the Wei army to attack the mountain anymore, it needs to set up a formation on the only way the Shu army must pass down the mountain, and wait for them to throw themselves into the trap. Daydreaming.

Sima Wang ordered Tang Bin's generals to guard all intersections and stand ready, and they must not let the Shu army leave Jieting alive alone.

Tang Bin and the others took orders generously. Although the first wave of attacks ended in a dismal situation, it did not seem to shake the confidence of the generals of the Wei Army. Seeing that Sima Wang's confidence still infected the generals of the Wei Army, everyone was full of energy. Each performs his own duties, preparing to wipe out the Shu army.

Sima Wang, on the other hand, walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, walked past the tent of the Chinese Army, and left Chang'an. Sima Wang doesn't seem to feel tired, but time is not forgiving. Sima Wang, who has passed his sixtieth birthday this year, really feels a little powerless.

Old, really old!It really doesn't work if you don't accept your old age.Originally thought that after being returned to Luoyang this time, Sima Wang would be able to spend his life in the position of Hussar General, but things were unpredictable, and the Shu people took advantage of the emptiness to attack Longxi. Set foot on this familiar land.

This night, Sima Wang slept soundly. Originally he had a problem of urgency to urinate, and would wake up two or three times every night, but he slept soundly tonight, and it was already dawn when he woke up.

The personal servants brought him water to wash his face, and the shiny brass basin was full of stream water, so clear that there was no trace of impurities.Probably at this time, not only did the Shu soldiers on the mountain have no water to wash their faces and mouths, but they might even have difficulty drinking water, right?Sima Wang secretly thought, the daily water consumption of tens of thousands of troops is quite astonishing. Even if the Shu army would store a little water before going up the mountain, it would definitely not be able to last for a few days.

After Sima Wang finished washing, Tang Bin, the vanguard officer, hurried into the tent.

"How is it? How's the situation on the mountain?" Sima Wang asked very calmly.Last night, Tang Bin was in charge of patrolling.

Tang Bin reported with a slightly worried look: "As usual, the Shu people seem to have no movement."

Sima Wang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this is the first day. As long as the siege continues, there will always be a time when they can't resist. Order the whole army to be on alert, guard their positions strictly, and guard against sneak attacks by the Shu people. Especially Even at night, you must cheer me up, this rabbit will bite people even when it is in a hurry, and drive the people of Shu to the point of desperation, it's no wonder they don't work hard with you."

"No." Tang Bin clapped his hands and said yes, and retreated.

As soon as Tang Bin left, Hu Shi came in. He guarded the water source all night, but he didn't even see half a person.

Sima Wang looked calm, smiled lightly, and told Hu Shi to guard the water source.

The Shu people on the top of the mountain did not move at all, and the Wei soldiers at the foot of the mountain also ended the first day of the siege in boredom.On the second day, there was still nothing to do, and Wei Jun couldn't help being a little slack, as if he felt that the sun had set for a long time.

On the third day, there was still a dead silence on the top of Tushan Mountain, as if no one could be seen. Many soldiers of the Wei Army could no longer hold their breath, and they were all whispering and discussing there. Even Sima Wang, who had always been confident and calm, was a little I can't sit still.
