Even Gao Pei, who was covered in armor, was shot to death by arrows, and the other soldiers who had no armor or had only simple light armor and leather armor could not escape.

They were shot indiscriminately by dense rain of arrows and died one by one.

The officers were at a loss and the soldiers were panicked. When the rain of arrows came, they could not react at all, so they died in large numbers, dying with their eyes open.

While he was still fighting with the Wei army in front, he was inserted into his back by an arrow shot from behind and died.

More than a thousand Shu troops were killed in a blink of an eye, and the number continued to increase because the rain of arrows never stopped.

The Wei army was naturally attacked by dense arrows.

However, the Wei army was covered in armor and protected by shield soldiers. Under the blow of arrow rain, only at the beginning, many soldiers were shot because they broke out from the protection of the large shield too far. They were shot on the face or forehead and died if they were unlucky. They were lucky but were injured.

They quickly reacted and got tired of the big shield to resist the arrows.

Zhang He and Cao Xiu were protected by their personal soldiers as soon as possible.

They were very surprised.

"Their own people are still fighting with us here, so they are shooting arrows? Are they not afraid of hurting their own people?"

"How could this happen? The Shu people in the city don't want these soldiers?"

Cao Xiu and Zhang He said this to their personal soldiers respectively.

Since its establishment, the Wei army group, which has always been committed to not abandoning or giving up, naturally cannot accept such facts.

The battle here has not been decided by the winner and the defeat, and your own people are still fighting with us. You start killing your own people and shooting indiscriminately. What is this?

Is this a war?

Too sinful?

To put it another way, someone is fighting bloody battles, and you, the general, are taking action behind your back. It is indeed killing the enemy and protecting the city, but you also make all the soldiers feel sad that the rabbit dies and foxes are no longer trusting you.

Who else will be willing to fight for you in the future?

Can your order be implemented?

Who else will obey your order?

It is precisely because of this that when Fa Zheng raised the only question in this action before the war, neither Guan Yu nor Xun You thought that Wu Yi could do such a decisive thing, and believed that such a thing was unlikely to happen.

But he actually did it.

The Shu army was still fighting bloody battles with the Wei army and gritted their teeth and persevered. As a result, you shot indiscriminately from behind, shooting many Wei soldiers, blocking the Wei army's military front, but more were Shu soldiers with very low armor rates.

They rarely wear armor, and they are not as good as the Wei army. They are shot into sieves from behind and almost all of them die on the spot. They can be said to have killed one hundred enemies and hurt themselves a thousand!

The entire Shu army did not escape, and of course Lei Tong did not escape, and died with his personal guards.

Cao Xiu and Zhang He were lucky and were protected as soon as possible, but the Wei army was quickly shot by the fierce rain of arrows and could not raise their heads and was severely suppressed. They lost a lot of people and had to group back and avoid the rain of arrows.

The main force brought by Guan Yu was obviously useless. Before he arrived at the battlefield, he looked at the closed Guancheng and the raindrop-like arrows.

Guan Yu was unable to give the order to attack the general, swallowed his anger and ordered to retreat with a look of bad luck.

Afterwards, the Wei army died in battle and injured more than 300 people. Cao Xiu and Zhang He were unable to move forward and were repelled by the rain of arrows. Basically, this military operation was considered a failure.

Of course, the Shu army suffered greater losses.

Since the night attack, more than 1,500 Shu troops were corpses all over the country, none of which survived, and a considerable number of them died at their own hands.

The last generals Gao Pei and Lei Tong died outside the city, and no one even took away the bodies, which was quite miserable.

But it was precisely because of this that Jiange was kept by Wu Yi, and the action plan that Wei Jun originally thought would win failed.

This operation was designed by Xun You, leading the entire staff team, with the purpose of pushing the Shu army to counterattack into Guancheng, seize the city gate, and then advancing Guancheng, capturing Jiange, destroying the Shu army defenders, breaking into the Chengdu plain in one fell swoop, laying the victory.

As a result, the strategy of winning failed under Wu Yi's determination. The Wei army also paid a considerable price for this and had to retreat and give up the results they had already achieved.

This made Guan Yu very angry and Xun You blamed himself very much.

"It's my fault. Xiaozhi has clearly raised this possibility, but I have not taken it seriously. This is my fault. I will submit a letter to your Majesty for your guilt and ask your Majesty to punish me for your sins."

Xun You planned to take responsibility for the failure of this assault battle himself, but was stopped by Guan Yu.

"I am the commander of the army. I gave the order to advance. I cannot refuse to blame the failure of the operation. Gongda does not have to bear it alone."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "The plan itself is not a problem, but we underestimated Wu Yi's determination. Only Fa Zheng pointed out this, but we didn't care. This is our problem, Fa Zheng."

Guan Yu named Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng went out of the line to marching.

"General."

"You have made great contributions to your advice, and we are all responsible for this time. However, if you have made great contributions, I will state in the seal to Your Majesty that you do not have to worry about being implicated."

"The subordinates dare not, this is the matter of their subordinates, and they dare not take credit for it."

Fazheng worships again.

"My merit is merit, and mistakes are merits. You have done the right thing, so if you have merit, you should be rewarded. You don't have to be humble."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said slowly: "But the most important thing now is that Wu Yi is so determined. I guess I won't have the next chance. He will never open the city to fight again. Even if he goes to fight, I won't get the same chance as before. So, don't mention this plan anymore. What should I do in the future? Everyone will talk about it."

Guan Yu let everyone speak freely.

Everyone looked at Fazheng.

Obviously, before, only Fa Zheng reminded Wu Yi from the perspective of the human heart, but everyone didn't care. As a result, he suffered a loss. Now everyone wants to know what other ideas Fa Zheng has, even Xun You is like this.

Fa Zheng was a little excited and felt that this was a good opportunity to show his abilities, so he took a step forward and spoke slowly.

"Wu Ziyuan unexpectedly closed the city gate and abandoned all the Shu people who were fighting to the death. Although he saved Jiange and repelled our army, he also lost his morale for this. What is certain is that the soldiers of the Shu army no longer trusted Wu Ziyuan.

His military orders will no longer be so easy, and no one will be willing to go out of the city to fight. If this hole is opened, it will be difficult to put it away. His troubles have just begun. Our army can continue to use catapults to attack the city, waiting for him to make mistakes."

Fa Zheng looked at this war from another perspective, believing that Wu Yi faced greater internal pressure than the external pressure like the Wei army. The Wei army only needed to maintain regular siege, and Wu Yi's troubles would be continuous one after another and he would make mistakes.

That was the opportunity for the Wei army.

Xun You nodded and recognized Fazheng's view.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and thought for a while, and nodded slowly. The generals had no other opinions, so the matter was decided.

The forced attack on Guancheng was not successful, but only increased casualties. Guan Yu realized that he had to be careful and not advance again, otherwise the army would suffer greater losses, and he would not only be ineffective, but also be guilty.

The next battle situation is to use fierce ignition tanks continuously, thunder and huge rocks to attack, and uninterrupted bombardment of Jiange Pass City without giving them any chance to breathe.

On the ninth day of the third month of the second year of Yande, the Battle of Jiange is about to enter the next stage.

At this moment, the war in Badong County is also in full swing.
