The Three Kingdoms are invincible

When Liu Zhang learned that an army had passed through Yinping and successfully attacked the two cities of Jiangyou and Fucheng one after another, he was also very surprised and panicked.

Cao Jun might steal Yinping, Zhang Ren mentioned it to him, and Liu Zhang also knew that Zhang Ren set up an ambush at the exit of Yinping Road, just in case.

But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Ren's deployment seemed to be useless. After the enemy passed through Yinping, they captured two cities in a row, and their troops were approaching Chengdu.

Liu Zhang didn't need to think about the fate of that ambush soldier. The whole army must have been wiped out.

Most of the troops in Chengdu were dispatched to the Jiange, and there were no more than a thousand soldiers left behind. If they were beaten to the bottom of the city by the enemy, it would be difficult for Chengdu to hold on!

Of course, Liu Zhang doesn't know now that the number of Cao's troops who survived Yinping is now less than 1000. Chengdu City, as the capital of Yizhou, has a strong city wall. He is an elite teacher in the world, and it is difficult for him to lead an army to capture Chengdu.

But Liu Zhang didn't know the battle situation on the front line. Zhang Ren once told him that even if Cao Jun wanted to steal Yinping, the number would never be large, and it would never exceed 5000.

But the current number of 5000 people is definitely not too small for Liu Zhang.Even if Cao Jun, who was in charge of the sneak attack, broke through the city from the exit of Yinping Road and suffered casualties after arriving in Chengdu, Liu Zhang estimated that the opponent would still have about 3000 troops left. The number of 3000 people is probably nothing at all in normal times, but it is a great threat to Chengdu, which lacks soldiers to guard today.

Liu Zhang has a weak character, and now that the enemy is about to attack the city of Chengdu, he suddenly wants to surrender.

It is said that Cao Cao still gave preferential treatment to those who voluntarily surrendered. If you surrender now, you can at least be a prince of peace, which is much better than being caught in Xuchang after the city of Chengdu was broken.

However, before Liu Zhang expressed his desire to surrender to the officials, he immediately encountered a lot of opposition.

"My lord, why should you be afraid? Yinping Road is dangerous, and everyone in Sichuan knows it. It is not easy for Cao Jun to survive Yinping. Even if he still has the strength to wipe out the ambush he set up in advance, he will definitely suffer a lot of losses. Afterwards, he attacked Jiangyou and Fu. Even if there is a shortage of major generals in Chengdu, the situation of Cao's army will not be much better. It may be at the end of its battle now. What's more, Mianzhu has not yet fallen, and there are still a thousand defenders in Mianzhu city. At the end of the day, I will take another [-] soldiers to Mianzhu, and I will not allow Cao Jun to make any progress!" General Li Yan of Yizhou asked Liu Zhang to fight.

Li Yan was originally under Liu Biao's command and served as the county magistrate of Zigui. When Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, he went into exile in Shu.Li Yan is capable of both literature and military affairs, and is good at running the army as well as the government. He is quite trusted by Liu Zhang, and his status is now comparable to that of Zhang Ren.

What Li Yan said is actually quite correct. Gao Shun and his camp are indeed in a bad situation now. If Li Yan said that they stick to Mianzhu, they can even trap Gao Shun in Fucheng and lose ground.

However, Liu Zhang was still afraid. Li Yan said that he would send 500 people to Mianzhu. In that case, if Mianzhu couldn't hold it, Chengdu would really have to rely on 500 people to resist Cao's offensive.

Seeing that Liu Zhang was still hesitating, Li Yan said further: "If my lord still has concerns, you might as well inform General Zhang Ren and ask him to withdraw some of his troops and return to Chengdu to garrison."

Since Cao Jun divided his troops to sneak across Yinping, the strength of troops outside the Jiange will inevitably decrease, and it will not hurt to ask Zhang Ren to send a small group of soldiers back to Chengdu.

It doesn't take many troops to call back, even if only 2000 people come back, it is estimated that Chengdu City will be as strong as gold.

Hearing that Li Yan proposed to let Zhang Ren return to the army, Liu Zhang's heart calmed down a little.

In the end, Liu Zhang agreed to Li Yan's request and asked him to take 500 people away and garrison Mianzhu.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————— When Gao Shun led his troops to the outside of Mianzhu City, Li Yan had already brought reinforcements Been in town for a long time.

Gao Shun frowned. Although he didn't know the exact number of troops in Mianzhu City, based on the deployment on the city wall, it was estimated that there were more than 1000 troops.

The city defense of Mianzhu City is better than that of Jiangyou City and Fucheng, and the number of defenders in the city is no less than his own. It is really difficult for him to conquer Mianzhu City.

Although he captured Fucheng by force, firstly, the defenders of Fucheng were pitifully small, and secondly, the defense of Fucheng was also weak, but even so, Gao Shun took some effort to capture Fucheng.

For this reason, Gao Shun also sacrificed the lives of more than [-] soldiers.

It is true that a siege battle is no better than a field battle. Gao Shun captured a city at the cost of more than [-] casualties, which can be regarded as perfect.But you must know that the number of people trapped in the camp is not large, and if one dies, there will be one less. With the lone army outside, it is even more nonsense to try to replenish the troops.

But now, the Mianzhu City in front of him has higher and stronger walls than Fu City, and more soldiers guarding the city than Fu City. What should he do to take down this city?

Gao Shun was thinking hard about the method of attacking the city, and his frown did not go away for a long time.
