"Lueyang has been lost. Ma Di, who was stationed at the street pavilion, went to rescue him. He encountered thieves on the way and was defeated. Now only Liu Yin's two thousand men guard the street pavilion, so I must lead the troops to rescue as soon as possible."
Looking at Wang Ping's puzzled eyes, Feng Yong explained, "The food reserves in Guancheng can only last for half a month at most. If General Wang can hold on for half a month, that is considered as his best effort."
At this point, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I just hope that the general can really guard Long Pass for half a month. After half a month, the general can guard it. If he can't guard it, please feel free to do so."
Half a month later, the battle situation in Longyou must have been decided.
Now Li Sheng and Ma Di's mistakes have cost the Han Dynasty's 10,000 soldiers.
If the Northern Expedition army will eventually return to Hanzhong, then there is no need for the soldiers of Longguan Pass to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Wang Ping clasped his fists heavily and said, "General Feng, please feel free to return to Jieting to help. The general will know what to do."
Feng Yong bowed deeply and said, "Then Long Pass will be entrusted to General Wang."
Although Cao's thief never came, the soldiers at Longguan Pass were always in a state of nervous preparation. Zhang Ni singled out his men and quickly assembled them.
"Woo..."
The trumpet sounded, and the huge commander's flag with the word "Feng" began to move down the mountain. Five thousand soldiers led by Feng Yong personally surrounded the commander's flag and surged down the mountain.
"boom!"
"Kakaka..."
The car made of sharpened tree trunks slammed into the gate of the camp. The wooden gate made a tooth-aching sound, shook a few times, and was on the verge of collapse.
"careful!"
Someone at the back was staring at the wall, and when he saw the wood starting to smash down again, he shouted loudly.
Cao's army had already experienced this and immediately dispersed.
This time, there were only a few Liao Liao trees, which were not as dense as before. Even the arrow feathers falling from above were becoming scarcer, posing less and less threat to Cao's soldiers attacking the wall.
The village wall was no better than the city wall. No matter how strong it was, it was made of temporary wood and could not withstand the enemy's continuous impact of charging and ramming cars.
After Cao Jun paid the price of nearly 3,000 men to fill in the trenches, bulldoze the horses and demolish the small barrier city, the wall began to be damaged.
With a "crash", a hole was finally knocked out of a wall of the village. Cao Jun cheered and rushed in.
Before the Cao soldiers who were the first to step into the Han army's camp could see clearly what was going on inside, the Han soldiers who had been waiting inside came at him with halberds and spears. They lifted him up high and sprinkled a burst of blood mist in the air. .
The first batch of Cao's troops who entered were too crowded and could not move at once, and they were all knocked to the ground by surprise.
Seeing that there were still Han troops inside, Cao's soldiers outside quickly stood guard with guns.
Although the entrance to the cave was temporarily blocked, Cao's army relied on its large number of people to quickly break through a large hole elsewhere.
The Han army defended the stronghold for several days and suffered more than half of its casualties. As the number of cave entrances gradually increased, there were no longer enough manpower to intercept them.
"General, the Walled City is broken."
In Jieting City, the generals covered in blood rushed in and said to Liu Yin.
Liu Yin's left shoulder was stripped naked and wrapped in a white cloth with faint blood oozing from it. He was sitting on the ground sleeping soundly.
Even so, he still held the long knife in his right hand and refused to let go.
He was injured by a stray arrow this morning, and because he hadn't had a good sleep for several days and nights, he took the opportunity to wrap up the wound and rest for a while. When he heard the general's words, he suddenly woke up from his sleep.
He subconsciously clenched the long knife with his right hand and stood up, "Has the Cao thieves invaded the stronghold?"
"Now that the wall has been damaged in many places, we can no longer block it!"
The general replied with an anxious look on his face.
Liu Yin hurriedly ran out of the city, only to find that the camp was already in chaos, and the soldiers on both sides had been killed until their eyes turned red.
People kept falling off the wall, and the highest point was already occupied by Cao's army.
I can't hold it any longer!
Seeing all this, Liu Yin's face turned miserable.
Seeing that the army finally invaded the camp, Zhang He, who was standing behind and watching, finally breathed a sigh of relief: If the reinforcements from Qingshui County had not arrived on time, he would not have dared to attack the camp regardless of casualties.
Eight thousand elite soldiers attacked the camp guarded by these two thousand men. In just a few days, no less than 3,000 were killed or injured.
If the defenders of the street pavilion heading to Lueyang were not defeated by themselves on the way, but instead defended the street pavilion, I am afraid that this street pavilion would also have to allow me to take a detour.
Thinking of this, Zhang He said to his left and right, "Give me the order. If you can capture Liu Yin alive, it's best to capture him alive."
"promise!"
After a while, the messenger rushed back from the camp and said, "General, the camp of the Shu captives is set up around Jieting City. Now that they have retreated to the city, the army will not be able to attack it for a while."
"Huh? Is there another city?" Zhang He asked in surprise, "How can this Shu captive be able to defend it?"
After that, he personally drove his horse into the camp and saw that there was indeed a dilapidated small town inside, and the Han army was still defending the dilapidated city.
Although the city wall was dilapidated, it was still difficult to climb over for Cao's army who had left their siege equipment outside the camp.
Seeing this, Zhang He ordered, "Stop attacking the city."
With the sound of gold ringing, Cao Jun slowly retreated.
On the ground of the camp, the land could not absorb so much blood for a while, and it had become a bit muddy under the constant trampling.
At the same time, Cao Jun continued to sort out the wounded soldiers who were groaning on the ground.
The wounded soldiers of the Han army were mended by Cao Jun without mercy and stabbed to death directly.
"General Liu, now that the camp has been destroyed and the situation has been decided, even if you defend this city, it will only be a temporary breather. Why waste the lives of your soldiers?"
To show his sincerity, Zhang He went to the front of the formation and shouted.
Several figures appeared on the city, and the one being protected in the middle was Liu Yin.
He could only hear him laughing loudly and saying, "If the city is destroyed, Yin can only serve the country with his death, and he will still be a lofty ideal of the Han; if the city is not destroyed, Yin will be a hero of the Han, and he will become famous without losing his merits. How can he say that he will surrender to the thieves?" "
The setting sun is like blood, shining on a few people in the small town, as tall as a mountain.
I saw many people emerging from the top of the city one after another, shouting loudly: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
Most of them have wounds on their bodies, their eyes are determined, and some even have broken limbs and feet, standing with weapons on their hands.
Zhang He sighed and ordered, "Destroy the surrounding camps before sunset so that we can attack the city tomorrow."
Anyway, this camp has been almost destroyed. After capturing this small town, a new one will have to be rebuilt. It is no pity.
The next day, Liu Yin stood at the top of the city and looked around, only to see that the surrounding area had become empty. Cao Jun had demolished the camp and was using the wood to make siege equipment.
He looked to the north and sighed, "General Feng, I have tried my best, but there are too few soldiers and too many thieves, and the city is not strong. I really can't wait for you to come."
