Just to deal with the three fierce generals Jiang Song, Luo Ren, and Luo Cheng, Yang Fan had already sent out 800 archers to prevent them from getting on the city wall.
Jiang Song, Luo Ren, and Luo Cheng were not in a hurry. Anyway, Feng Yi didn't really want to rely on the three of them to break the city when he sent them to fight. The three of them were just to attract the enemy's attention and firepower.
Yang Fan only had a total of 3,000 men in his hands, but just to deal with Jiang Song, Luo Ren, and Luo Cheng, he had already allocated a force of 800 men.
Therefore, when facing Feng Yi's siege, Yang Fan's troops were seriously insufficient, and gradually, the defensive loopholes in it were constantly revealed.
As the number of defenders above Xiaoguan dropped to a certain level, these defense loopholes could no longer be filled, and Jin cavalry began to climb the city wall one after another.
Although these cavalry had separated from their horses and were used as infantry, these Jin cavalry were still brave. Dozens or hundreds of people collectively occupied open spaces on the wall to help subsequent soldiers climb the wall.
Yang Fan possesses unparalleled strength and is a strong general, but in the end, it is difficult for an ordinary man to change the situation. Yang Fan may be able to drive off the Jin troops on a small section of the city wall with his own force, but he cannot use his own force to drive off all the Jin troops on the entire city wall.
Of course, Yang Fan's commanding ability was not bad, but he could not fully display his commanding ability with the troops in his hands.
The house leaked and it snowed all night. As more and more Jin soldiers climbed onto the city wall, the situation faced by Yang Fan continued to deteriorate.
In particular, a group of Jin troops reached the groups of archers sent by Yang Fan to contain the three fierce generals Jiang Song, Luo Ren, and Luo Cheng, so that the archers in those places could no longer specifically target Jiang Song and Luo Cheng. Ren and Luo become the three fierce generals.
The three fierce generals Jiang Song, Luo Ren, and Luo Cheng quickly climbed to the top of the wall through the ladder without being suppressed by the eight hundred archers. From this moment on, it also represents Xiao Guan's complete fall.
Among the three fierce generals Jiang Song, Luo Ren, and Luo Cheng, even the worst Luo Cheng, Yang Fan may not be his opponent. Now these three people climbed onto the city wall together, cutting off any chance Yang Fan had.
Moreover, Yang Fan's luck was not very good. He was the first to encounter Jiang Song, the strongest among the three.
Although Yang Fan was said to have reached a peerless realm, when facing Jiang Song, who was at the level of a god general, he was still like a fragile baby. After just a few moves, his life was already taken away by Jiang Song with one shot.
Yang Fan died in the battle, and the morale of the few remaining Xiaoguan garrison plummeted. Under Feng Yi's intimidation, they all dropped their weapons and prepared to surrender and accept prisoners of the Jin army.
After successfully capturing Xiaoguan, Feng Yi did not move forward easily. Instead, he quietly stayed and stationed himself at Xiaoguan.
After he captured Xiaoguan, Yang Jian's defense in Yongzhou had been completely broken by them. Next, the initiative to attack Yongzhou was completely in their hands.
Therefore, there is no rush to attack Yongzhou at this time. What's more, there are many strong cities in Yongzhou, and Feng Yi is not so arrogant that he wants to conquer Yongzhou when he can't borrow more than 30,000 cavalry.
Feng Yi was waiting. Su Dingfang had been sending troops to Beidi County for some time, and the fight was almost complete now. To the south of Beidi County is Anding County, and to the south of Anding County is Hanyang County where Xiaoguan is located.
As long as Su Lie's 70,000-strong army passed through Anding and reached Xiaoguan, that's when they would really start a full-scale attack on Yongzhou. Before that, Feng Yi only needed to ensure that Xiao Pass was intact and that the gateway from Liangzhou to Yongzhou was still in their hands.
…
Longxi County.
At this time, Fu Jian had given up on Hanyang, and while Bai Qi was free to reorganize his troops and prisoners after a big battle, he moved all the remaining elites here, preparing to fight to the end.
As for the land of Hanyang, Fu Jian and Ma Teng both left loyalists or cronies to guard them everywhere. They adopted a strategy of trading space for time, asking their loyalists or cronies to guard the people of Hanyang. Jingzhuang organized as much as possible and resisted Bai Qi's advance with his life.
In fact, how could Fu Jian and Ma Teng be willing to give up Hanyang County so easily.
However, Feng Yi had previously divided his troops into 30,000 troops and headed east, and his destination was obviously Xiaoguan. If Feng Yi really waits for Feng Yi to capture Xiao Guan, then Hanyang's position will be awkward. They are effectively locked in their retreat, and Bai Qi will fight however he wants.
Therefore, Fu Jian immediately made a decision and actively persuaded Ma Teng. The two used Longxi County and Wudu County as the last places of resistance, preparing to continue the confrontation with Bai Qi.
Fu Jian had carefully considered choosing Longxi County and Wudu County as the last places of resistance. On the one hand, these two places can communicate with Guanzhong, Hanzhong and even Yizhou, and these places can become their retreat.
Don't worry about victory before thinking about defeat. What's more, Fu Jian and Ma Teng are obviously at a disadvantage. Especially Fu Jian and Ma Teng, even if they don't think about themselves, they still have to think about their descendants.
By occupying the two positions of Longxi and Wudu, even if they are ultimately defeated, their sons or young children can find ways to join other princes.
As for them themselves, they have no such idea. As a prince, they are also people who want to save face. How can they use their status as princes to seek refuge with other princes. What's more, as princes, even if they want to seek refuge with others, others may not be willing to accept it.
Of course, if that day comes, among Guanzhong Yang Jian and Yizhou Liu Che, the two Liangzhou princes, Fu Jian and Ma Teng, are more inclined for their sons and their children to go to Yizhou to join Liu Che.
This time, Yang Jian is Li Xiang's ultimate goal, and Fu Jian and Ma Teng see this very clearly. If they lose, Guanzhong will be left alone.
On the other hand, these two places are adjacent to the territory where the Qiang people are located. Although the Qiang people suffered heavy losses at the hands of Su Dingfang, in the end, the skinny camels were bigger than the horses. Fu Jian believes that the Qiang people must still have considerable power.
While preparing to defend Longxi County and Wudu County, Fu Jian had already ordered his advisers Lu Bolou and Zhao Hua to contact the Qiang people.
Lu Polou was from the Qiang ethnic group, while Zhao Hua was outstanding in eloquence. Fu Jian still had great hopes for the two of them this time. As long as they can form an alliance with the Qiang people and gain the support of the Qiang people, they can still fight with Bai Qi's Jin army.
