Hu Zun was bleeding from his left arm, but he just bandaged it casually and said to Sima Yi: "Taiwei, it is difficult to block the gap in the earth slope, so why not withdraw from the outside of the city. Since the city wall has been broken, the enemy's troops have slightly surpassed ours and have no advantage."

Sima Yi's face was as gloomy as water. Looking at the gap in the earth slope, he said coldly: "Defend the earth slope with all his strength. If you keep it here, there is still a danger to defend the Liao Tunnel, so there is no need to worry about the Yan army's attack. If you withdraw your troops at this moment and the enemy chases us for escape, how many feather arrows do you think the soldiers can be covered with the backs?"

Hu Zun smiled bitterly. It was the first time he encountered such a situation, but he also knew that the withdrawal of troops at this time would definitely lead to the Yan army chasing the formation, and an orderly retreat would also turn into a disorderly defeat.

Nearly 5,000 people were killed or injured on both sides, of which two-thirds of the Wei army's corpses accounted for. They used the dead bodies to pile up the earth slope more than two feet high. Yan and Wei soldiers did not care about their fallen companions and rushed up the body.

Sima Yi saw that the sky was gloomy and it seemed that it was about to rain heavily. He immediately had an idea and said happily: "Come out the loess, mix the red soil, push it up with a cart, and fill the slope."

Hu Zun was stunned for a while without understanding his intentions.

Sima Yi said coldly: "It will rain heavily in a blink of an eye. Look at the sky is capricious. Today is heavy rain, and there will be a great heat in the next few days. Loess and red soil can stick the bodies accumulated on the slopes and temporarily make it a corner of the city wall."

Hu Zun immediately understood and mobilized the Wei army to push the loess and the silt up with a cart, from low to high. Many of the injured and undead Wei soldiers were covered by the loess, and their appearance was extremely tragic.

The loess was insufficient, so stones filled the paving road. The injured Wei army stretched out his arms and poked out from the soil. Sima Yi was too lazy to care about it, and continued to pile up the earth and rammed it, and asked the soldiers to use their feet to make it back and forth.

The loess and the dead bodies piled up the slopes, and people stepped on horses, which made a lot of solidification.

Gongsun Xiu saw that the earth slope had risen unknowingly, and couldn't help but think: "Sima Yi is indeed amazing. In this situation, using living people and dead people as materials to repair the wall, he almost filled the gap."

The sky turned dark and dark clouds were covering the city. First, a few drops fell, and then a "Kara" lightning fell, causing a drizzle.

"The city cannot be captured for the time being, let Sima Yi fill the city wall. Let us retreat ten miles and surround it without attacking."

He didn't expect that Sima Yi was extremely cruel. He just built a stronghold in the city that was higher than the earth slope, and used it as a stepping stone. He was worthy of being the most ruthless person in the Three Kingdoms.

Yang Zuo was covered in rain on his face and said in surprise: "Your Highness, you are about to attack the city with one kick. How can you - how can you give up such an opportunity?"

Gongsun shook his head and said, "Don't attack anymore. Sima Yi has built a barrier with his body. Let him guard the empty city of Liao Tunnel. At the latest, he will be guarded for ten days. The food and grass in the city will be over. Let's see him again."

Yang Zuo was helpless and sighed, but he knew that the city's food and grass could not last for a few days.

The Yan army yelled the gold and withdrew one after another.

Sima Yi in the city sighed, looked at the wall of people with piles of corpses, and felt a little proud: "The boy finally withdrew his troops, and he could barely win a game."

Liao Tun City was saved, but the Wei army paid a huge price, with nearly 7,000 casualties, most of which were stuck in the human wall. Most of them were injured and could not afford to fall to the ground. Now they are killed in battle, filling the human wall with their only lives.

The next day, the weather was sunny and the heat was hard. The human wall was dry and hard. Sima Yi ordered people to fill it with mud and water to reinforce it. Although it was not as strong as the original city wall, it was enough to withstand the attack of the Yan army.

Sima Yi suddenly realized a difficult problem, and his thoughts flashed and said in surprise: "I've suffered, granary!"

When he kicked open the door of the granary and ordered people to take stock of the food and grass. Sure enough, he saw that except for the 180,000 kilograms of food and grass that were pressed on it, the sack underneath was full of soil.

Sima Yi's face changed color and he did not answer.

Hu Zun sat down to the ground tremblingly, his mouth trembling constantly: "This - there are only 180,000 kilograms of food and grass."

"Before you captured Liao Tunnel, you didn't count the food and grass in time and you were guilty of dereliction of duty, and even today."

Sima Yi's face was gloomy and terrifying. Looking at Hu Zun who was lying on the ground, he said calmly: "Now is not the time to punish you. When the battle in Liaodong is over, you will be rewarded and punished. Give you a chance to redeem your sins. I will lead your army to break through immediately and let Wang Chang and Liu Zhi's food and grass be sent in. Otherwise, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag first, and then break through on your own."

Hu Zun was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic. He didn't dare to make a sound, and said tremblingly: "Thank you, Taiwei, for giving the villain a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service..."

Sima Yi left with a sleeve.

After leaving the granary, he looked even more worried. At this time, after deducting the 7,000 people killed in the battle, there were still 13,000 people in the city, and 180,000 kilograms of grain and grass can only be used for ten days.

This means that if there is no food or grass to solve the urgent problem in ten days, the tragic situation of military and people celebrating each other will soon begin.

He looked at the city frowningly, thinking that he had suffered consecutive setbacks since entering Liaodong, which made him very upset, and thought to himself: "There is only one way to do it now. I was unwilling to do it, but Gongsun Xiu was extremely cunning and restrained everywhere. Now the main force of the Yan army in Liaodong is in the Liao Tunnel. I can use the strategy of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" to lead the King of Goguryeo to attack Xiangping. Gongsun Yuan is in the danger of being captured. Even if Gongsun Xiu has the courage, he will return to his army to save Xiangping."

Outside the city.

The Yan army finally surrounded Sima Yi with its superior forces. The situation on the entire battlefield was completely overturned, from passive to active.

Yang Zuo looked happy and sighed: "Your Highness, we have finally trapped the Wei army. This is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. Just wait for the city to have enough food, and Sima Yi will definitely die."

Bei Yan echoed: "At present, the whole city is under our surveillance. Sima Yi has no food to eat and will definitely break through. As long as we keep it, the old thief will die."

Gongsun Xiu shook his head and smiled: "The Wei army in the city still has 13,000 troops, so we should not be underestimated. Not only that, Wang Chang, who was stationed in Wei in Liaokou, also had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and the navy. If Sima Yi led Wang Chang to rescue him, our siege would not be unbreakable."

Yang Zuo calmed down: "What does the prince mean?"

Gongsun Xiudao: "I don't have enough ships in Liaodong and am not a match for the Wei Navy. In addition, the Wei infantry and cavalry are extremely brave. After this past month of observation, I found that the Wei infantry and cavalry coordination, combat and momentum are far better than our army."

"This - our army has not maintained a 30,000 army on weekdays. Two-thirds of the soldiers in their troops are forced to recruit. It is common for the soldiers to be greedy for life and fear of death."

Yang Zuo and others couldn't help but blush. The Yan army was trained by them. The military discipline in daily life was loose and the soldiers became lazy. Most of the 30,000 soldiers who could fight were composed of people who were catching strong men and serving labor service, and their core combat power was not strong.

Gongsun Xiu also discovered this fatal point. Since ancient times, according to the quality of the army, the rate of failure is the rate of defeat. Even if half of the well-trained army is defeated, the other half will have the courage to fight again. This requires years of hard work to achieve.

Sima Yi was rigorous in his military use. In the formation of the soldiers of Wei State, even the left and right would be beheaded according to the rules without making any minor mistakes, not to mention deserters, surrendered soldiers, etc. This is also the key factor that the Wei army was annihilated since his entry into Liaodong, and the will of his soldiers has not yet declined.

If the Yan army had changed places and the Yan army annihilated 15,000 troops for the Wei State, the Yan army might have dispersed like birds and beasts, and even Yang Zuo and Bei Yan surrendered to Wei. In the historical trajectory, these two people could not see the hope of Liaodong and took the initiative to surrender.
