Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 170 Three Points Must Win, But It Belongs to the Han Army
At the beginning of the siege, Meng Da was still full of confidence.

Attacking a strong city with 500 people is of course a dream, but is Xicheng considered a strong city?
After Meng Da's serious analysis, he felt that it was obviously not counted.

Even when the whole army was mobilized, three reasons were cited for the victory.

"One! People in the city are not in harmony. The city has been run by the Shen family for many years. Even if Liu Chan's people are suppressed by force for a while, as long as our army exerts pressure, the city will definitely respond!
"Secondly, the person in charge of defending the city is an unknown person, how can he be proficient in the way of defending the city? He must be outstretched and unable to do what he wants!
"Thirdly, the king of Wei is very powerful. It is heard in the city that the king of Wei wants to take the west city. He must have lost his nerve. Our army will surely win!"

It would be fine if he just used these words to deceive his brothers before the siege, but General Meng Da himself believed it.

However, the development of things is completely opposite to it...

The blood relatives of the Shen family have been uprooted by Liu Chan, and for the small families and small forces that have cooperated closely with the Shen family in the past, Liu Chan not only ignores the past, but also temporarily uses a large number of them to fill the vacancy left by the Shen family.

Now facing Cao Wei's three-county family and tribe with the same hatred, they can be described as the same hatred in the fight against Cao Wei.

Under their synergistic organization, Xicheng is united as one.

General Meng Da was right in the first half of his analysis. Indeed, as soon as he put pressure on the West City, there was a reaction... A large number of people in the city were organized to deliver water and defense supplies.

Even though a large number of young and strong people were transferred to the front line, many people still spontaneously participated in the defense of the city, even including men who refused to accept their old age and strong women, Shen Zhong couldn't persuade them...

Shen Zhong was indeed an unknown soldier. Because of his special status in the defense of Jiangling, only a few people such as Liu Chan knew of his full achievements, and he did not publicize it.

But when it comes to the left and the right, there is no way to do it... Every day, the wounded soldiers whose heads are broken and the boiled golden juice is splashed on their heads are worse than death. Many words of "kind greetings" have been silently sent to General Meng Da and his female relatives.

As for the king of Wei wanting to take Xicheng, let alone, it’s okay not to yell, every time he uses this to scare the defenders, it’s like giving them chicken blood, the back is no longer sore, the back is no longer painful, and the archery is strong.

In just a few days, Meng Dabuqu, who had suffered nearly a thousand casualties, had begun to suspect that the general's "three must wins" meant that the enemy would surely win.

Not long after the siege began, it was declared a failure.

With this number of casualties, coupled with the fact that there is enough food in Xicheng, there is no hope of defeating them at all.

If Meng Da ordered the siege of the city again, these parts that he had single-handedly brought out, which were considered loyal, might cause a mutiny.

Losing face is better than losing life, and Meng Da, who got nothing, was about to withdraw.

However, when people have good things in pairs and are in good spirits, they have to have house leaks and rainy nights.

It's just that the good thing went to Liu Chana, and the leak in the broken house went to General Meng.

"General! The enemy army is chasing us from behind!"

"What?" Meng Da, who was retreating to the west pier of the city, was surprised and delighted, and couldn't believe his ears.

There are so few guards in the west city and they dare to chase them out. Some cities are not well guarded, and they come out to die?

"How many people are there in the enemy army?"

"At least five thousand."

Haha, there are still 500 people coming out in full force, that unknown person is so arrogant, God help me, Meng Da!

Meng Da waved his hand vigorously: "Return to the army, follow me to fight back!"

Afterwards, he saw the eyes of the lieutenant general and his soldiers as if they had seen a ghost.

"Why, you are all scared out of your wits, 500 people dare not fight?"

"...General, it's five thousand."

Meng Da: "..."

Just stunned for less than a breath, Meng Da immediately shouted: "Quick retreat, order the whole army to move quickly!"

"Yes!"

General Meng couldn't think about where the 5000 people from the Shu army came from, so let's run first.

Fortunately, the Mianshui Wharf on the west side is not far away, just two miles away...

咵 da da, 咵 da da...

In the direction of the pier, a heavily armed cavalry team was running towards them, shaking the word "horse" on the flag so that Meng Da's heart skipped a beat.

Meng Da wanted to cry but felt that there was a tiger behind him and a pack of wolves in front of him.

It's just that there are mountains in the north and south of the west city, and there is no way to escape in those two directions. It's better to fight to the death, or have a chance.

"The only way to survive is to fight to the east! Follow me!"

After all, the cavalry in front seemed small in size, and everyone finally mustered up the last courage to move forward...to escape.

Yes, of course they didn't want to countercharge the cavalry with two legs. These soldiers just thought that there were fewer cavalry ahead, and it was more reliable to flee forward than to go back.

This time, Ma Chao, who had led his troops here, jumped up, and was furious.

He has led the army for many years, and he has never seen any infantry who dared to charge against the cavalry without forming a formation.

Even if he only has a hundred cavalry, the enemy general will look down on him, Ma Chao!

"Little thief, you look down on me so much!"

Ma Chao hated Cao Cao the most in his life, and people who looked down on him. He has Qiang blood, and he has always been very sensitive in terms of self-esteem.

"Raise the gun!" Ma Chao shouted, calculating each other's speed silently in his heart.

"Throw!"

Om-!
The first wave of [-]-shot spears flew straight towards Meng Da's army with the sound of roaring through the air.

The hit rate this time has improved compared to before.

The vain howling and miserable appearance of the shot man once again dealt a heavy blow to Meng Dajun's nearly collapsed will.

After two rounds of shooting, the angry Ma Chao led his hundred cavalry into the enemy's formation.

Then he discovered that the enemy army was not charging at him, but was fleeing...

It was he who led people to block the way of Meng Da's army fleeing, which caused the weird scene of the infantry "charging" the cavalry before.

Ma Chao, who was leading the crowd to keep making widows, was even more puzzled. Even if he was unable to attack for a long time and withdraw his troops, he would not flee.

After killing the rout soldiers, Ma Chao, who was about to turn around and continue to chase, was surprised to find that there were still shouts ahead.

Thousands of friendly troops are rushing forward with banners unfurled, playing the banner of "King".

Ma Chao's old doubts were only solved, and new doubts were added, but he didn't know who he was coming.

But at this time, there is no time to elaborate, so he hurriedly led his troops to continue to cover up and kill.

You Ma Chao led the cavalry all the way to chase and suppress, the speed of Meng Da's army's escape was greatly affected, and they were finally overtaken by the pursuers.

While fleeing, they panicked and did not choose their way, and the number of people who were driven into Mianshui was unknown, and Mianshui was once stained red with blood...

In the end, the main general Meng Da was wounded and captured, and more than a thousand remnants under his command gave up resistance and surrendered.

After the war, Ma Chao had just found his general. His cheeks were dark and rosy, and he looked more like a strong farmer than a general.

"The last general, Wang Ping, pays homage to General Ma." Wang Ping saluted with cupped fists.

Ma Chao clasped his fists and nodded in return. At the same time, he searched in his mind, but couldn't remember much, and asked, "Are you a Hanzhong reinforcement?"

"Exactly, the last general was ordered by General Wei to lead the army to help the prince."

The real Wei Yan's loyalty is naturally beyond doubt, but this is a very assertive person who never hesitates to make decisions when the opportunity arises.

Since Liu Chan left, for the overall situation of Hanzhong and even Yizhou, he was indeed stabilized and did not send troops for the time being.

But it's not like letting the prince go to fight in the three counties, and he doesn't move.

If that's the case, he wouldn't be called Wei Yan anymore.

He personally arranged the manpower, and sent scouts to inquire about the movements of Cao's army on the northward route. At the same time, he ordered Wang Ping to prepare for the war, and was ready to go east to the three counties at any time to help the prince.

After receiving Shen Dan's letter of pretending to rescue the soldiers, Wei Yan sneered and still held back, in case he fell into Cao Jun's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain as the prince said.

But scouts from all walks of life reported back one after another, and after Cao Jun in the north had no change, Wei Yan immediately sent Wang Ping to lead [-] soldiers to help the three counties.

Wang Ping hadn't made contact with the defenders in the west city yet, so he asked Ma Chao worriedly, "General Ma, how dare you ask where the prince is? The last general just saw that the defenders at the head of the west city didn't have a prince's banner... The enemy has already attacked the west city. Could it be that both Shangyong and Fangling have fallen into the enemy's hands?"

Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Hu Li at the side, seeing that the other was also looking at him with a stupid face, and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Wang Ping asked anxiously: "Why is the general laughing? Is the prince safe?"

"The crown prince just suffered a little skin trauma, and now he is in Shangyong. The city has not fallen into the hands of the enemy. General, this is Xia Houshang, the commander of the Cao army. If the general wants to worry, you might as well worry about Xu Huang, ah? Hahaha..."

"……what?"
