Because it was blocked by Jianmen Pass for too long.
Not only the generals of the Liangzhou Army felt depressed, but also the soldiers were also very upset.
Seeing that the time is getting longer and longer, it is impossible to break through the sword gate.
We can only wait for Li Chengqian to plan step by step.
Watching the brothers beside him fall one after another.
Seeing the spies exchanging lives with each other...
How could they not feel annoyed?
But now, they finally entered Shu.
But the few small-scale wars in the early stage could not let them vent their depression at all.
But this time it was different.
The Mianzhou City in front of us is a big city in Shu no matter what.
No matter what, there are 10,000 Shu troops in this city.
Today, all the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army have only one thought in mind.
That is to let these rebels know how powerful their Liangzhou Army is.
At this moment, these people were like ferocious beasts that were full of rage, rushing toward the enemy's city with red eyes.
At this time, the Shu soldiers in Mianzhou City finally reacted.
They rushed towards the damaged city wall, hoping to block the enemy's charge.
but……
Can they stop it?
There is no team in the world that can withstand the charge of the Liangzhou Army.
But it is definitely not the Shu army in front of me.
If there is a city defense, they can still rely on the city to fight the Liangzhou Army.
But without city defense, in the eyes of the Liangzhou Army, they were just a group of walking soldiers, a bunch of cattle and sheep that everyone slaughtered.
After all, how can a group of people who have never been on the battlefield compare with veterans like them?
According to Feng Guangyao's own words.
When he was fighting with the barbarians from the Northern Desert and the Western Regions, these little brats were still drinking milk from his mother's arms.
As Han Qilue led 1,500 crossbowmen to suppress the enemy's counterattack momentum.
As Liao Ji led 3,000 people, they rushed to the city wall.
It goes without saying how this war will end.
A total of 4,500 people broke through the Shu army's so-called defensive front of 10,000 people in just an instant.
A group of soldiers from the Liangzhou Army rushed left and right in Mianzhou City as if they were in an uninhabited land.
The gleaming steel knives mercilessly penetrated the enemy's chest and cut off the enemy's head.
Later, the real devil's moment comes.
Li Chengqian is here.
Li Chengqian personally led a thousand-man death squad to rush forward.
This guy's fighting style has long since changed from the original one of subduing others without fighting to one where as long as you are still holding a weapon, I feel that you will fight me to the death.
In just a moment, the Shu army's defense line was completely destroyed by the Liangzhou army.
A group of Shu troops were killed, and their defenses completely collapsed, and they fled towards the city.
At this point in the war, it can no longer be called a war.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
In Mianzhou City, Shu soldiers who were chased by the Liangzhou Army could be seen everywhere.
On this day, Mianzhou City was also littered with corpses.
Of course, the corpses scattered all over the field are talking about Shu soldiers.
And not the people of Mianzhou City.
As the anti-rebellion masters of the Tang Dynasty, they would naturally not take action against their own people.
Even before the siege took place.
Li Chengqian had already issued an explicit order not to do anything excessive to the people of Mianzhou.
Moreover, as long as the Shu soldiers took off their armor and put on civilian clothes, the Liangzhou soldiers would give up their pursuit of him.
It's not because of anything else.
Just because they took off their armor, they were no longer rebels, but ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as they don't go against the court or themselves.
The Liangzhou Army would naturally give them a wide berth.
As for whether the imperial court will settle accounts with them later, that is the imperial court's business and they have no control over it.
Li Chengqian also couldn't care less.
He only focused on attacking the city, suppressing the rebellion, and destroying the rebels.
Leave all the rest to your own emperor.
Who told him not to help him with logistics?
Who told him to leave everything to himself?
Then it's not too much to blame him yourself, right?
…
The news that Mianzhou was broken reached Yizhou the next day.
Li Ke was also furious after hearing the news.
"Ten thousand soldiers and horses are stationed in Mianzhou City."
"But in the end, I only managed to resist for less than two hours..."
Li Ke was almost angry.
"Are they pigs?"
"Even if there are 10,000 pigs, the Liangzhou Army will have to catch them for a few days, right?"
"But they only blocked it for less than two hours???"
Li Ke really didn't understand how Xiao Jiucheng did things.
Could it be that he was thinking about the problem with his toes?
Could it be that he was fighting Li Chengqian with his toes?
Seeing how angry he was, no one among the surrounding generals, lieutenants, and counselors dared to stand up and challenge him.
Who could have known that this war would end up like this?
Originally, when the war began, they all had good intentions.
After all, this is Shu, the legendary land of abundance.
As long as Jianmen Pass on the north line and Qutang Pass on the east line are defended, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to break in.
In this way, no matter what happens, they will be able to establish their own dynasty in Shu.
Even they thought about it.
Even if one of these two gates is breached, they can easily raise an army of more than 100,000 people by guarding a good place like Shu.
And coupled with the 80,000 trump cards of the Shu army in their hands, is it not an understatement to block the imperial court's crusade?
But what's the result?
These two gates have not been breached.
But the Liangzhou Army had already directly attacked its homeland.
And those ace troops that they are proud of are either unable to return from the northern battlefield, or they are blocked on the northern and eastern fronts.
Those miscellaneous troops in his hands, let alone fight head-on with the Liangzhou Army.
Taking Mianzhou City as an example, these teams may not even be able to stop another offensive.
"Can anyone tell me what to do now?"
Li Ke looked at the crowd and said, "Don't we usually talk more cheerfully than the others? Why is no one talking now?"
"Have they all become mute?"
Facing Li Ke's aggressive gaze, everyone lowered their heads.
When they have an advantage, they can also go up and give some advice.
But now that they are in such a disadvantageous situation, how dare they stand up and talk nonsense?
In the end, Zhuge Ying stood up and said: "Your Highness, although our army is currently at a disadvantage, it is by no means in a desperate situation."
"What is this if not a desperate situation?"
Li Ke took a deep breath and said, "They all came to our door."
"It doesn't matter if you call at your door or you can call in."
"After all, we still have soldiers and food in our hands."
"If it doesn't work, we can abandon Yizhou City, retreat to southern Xinjiang, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback."
Zhuge Ying said bluntly: "But this is the last resort. If we can fight, we will definitely fight."
"And I suggest that your Highness shrink your defenses and dispatch all the generals and soldiers from the surrounding cities to Runzhou City."
"No matter how brave the Liangzhou army is, they only have 20,000 troops."
"Could it be that our tens of thousands of troops can't defeat their 20,000 people?"
"What's more, the Liangzhou Army has come all the way, and the pressure on the food and grass supply lines is frightening."
"Even if it's hard work, we can let them eat clean food and go back to their hometown in Liangzhou."
Zhuge Ying looked directly at Li Ke and said: "The more the situation is like this, the more your Highness cannot be chaotic..."
