The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Chapter 397 Soldiers Arrive in Chengdu

Li Yan always thought that he was not afraid of death. If someone threatened him with death when he was defeated, he would definitely be able to remain unmoved and die generously.

However, when Hao Zhao's spear landed on his throat, Li Yan realized that he was also afraid of death.

He wanted to speak, telling the soldiers not to care about their own lives and continue to fight the enemy bravely, but after opening his mouth, no sound could come out.

Although Hao Zhao's spear was pointed at Li Yan's throat, it didn't stick to his skin. If Li Yan wanted to yell, he could still do it.

However, Li Yan just couldn't say the words to make the soldiers ignore their lives and continue fighting.

Li Yan feels very ashamed now, ashamed of his cowardice.In the past, Li Yan always despised those who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but he never imagined that he himself would not be able to cross the barrier of life and death.

Although Li Yan is feeling very uncomfortable, he still wants to live.

"Even if I die now, Mianzhu City can't be defended. Fighting to the death is nothing more than adding casualties. If I surrender, the lives of many soldiers can be saved." Li Yan persuaded in his heart For yourself, find an excuse for your fear of death.

"I am willing to surrender, everyone put down their weapons and surrender!" Li Yan finally shouted, and at the same time as he shouted, a drop of clear tears flowed from the corner of Li Yan's eyes.

Cao Jun finally occupied Mianzhu, and what Cao Jun saw at this moment was Chengdu, the capital of Yizhou.Standing on the city wall and overlooking the southern city of Chengdu, both Gao Shun and Zhao Yun had gratified smiles on their faces.

Cao Jun now has about 3000 people left, including 200 people in the trapped camp and 800 people in the assault camp.

The defenders in Chengdu numbered 500.

Although after Li Yan surrendered, the Mianzhu garrison also followed Li Yan to surrender, and there were still 800 of these surrendered troops.However, these soldiers are all Yizhou natives. If they are asked to attack Chengdu, who knows if someone will have other thoughts or even cause some riots. Gao Shun is not at ease about this, so Gao Shun did not Count them in the ranks of attacking Chengdu.

The advantage of a mere 500 people is difficult to reflect in a siege battle, not to mention that Chengdu, as the capital of Yizhou, must have a stronger city wall than Mianzhu.If Gao Shun led the Cao army to attack Chengdu, even if the three thousand Cao troops were all elites, they would end up with more defeats and fewer victories.

After driving all the way down, after going through untold hardships, they finally got close to the final goal, Chengdu. It would be a pity if they were defeated outside Chengdu at the last moment.

Fortunately, Li Yan surrendered.With the help of this all-rounder in civil and military affairs, the difficulty of attacking Chengdu should be greatly reduced.

Li Yan was very clear about the situation in Chengdu, and he had a good grasp of Liu Zhang's character. If he had a suggestion from his staff, Gao Shun believed that he would eventually be able to successfully capture Chengdu and complete the task of attacking Shu.

According to Li Yan, Liu Zhang is extremely cowardly. As early as when Gao Shun led a small number of troops to take Fucheng, Liu Zhang had already expressed his intention to surrender. Now that Mianzhu has fallen, he must be even more afraid.

Knowing this, Gao Shun decided to send a letter to Liu Zhang, using both soft and hard words in the letter, urging him to surrender.

—————————————————————————————————————————— When it was learned that Mianzhu had fallen, even Li Yan, the guard of Mianzhu, brought seven or eight hundred When the defenders surrendered, Liu Zhang's face turned pale, his hands and feet became limp, and he collapsed on the couch.

"Everyone, the matter has come to this, why not come down?" Liu Zhang asked the civil and military people in front of him with distracted eyes.Cao Jun was about to approach the city of Chengdu, but Liu Zhang lost the courage to fight at this time.

"My lord, there are [-] soldiers in the city of Chengdu, and they still have the strength to fight a battle, so why surrender so easily?" counselor Huang Quan said to Liu Zhang.

"There are soldiers defending the city, but no generals defending the city. How can we fight?" Liu Zhang has no confidence in the upcoming battle.

"My lord, let General Zhang Ren return to help quickly, and the enemy army will be destroyed." Wang Leijin, the counselor, said.

"Outside the Jiange pass, there are also enemy troops. What's the use of Zhang Ren's return to aid and the loss of the Jiange pass?" Liu Zhang was obviously in a state of confusion. There are many guards in the Jiange pass. As long as Zhang Ren returns to help thousands of troops, it will be enough. Baocheng is safe, but Cao Jun outside the Jiange is still unable to advance an inch.But Liu Zhang couldn't think of such a simple truth. Even if Wang Lei explained the key point to him, he just refused to follow it.

"My lord, there is still a place where I can ask for help." When everyone was helpless towards Liu Zhang's attitude, the counselor Pang Xi said.

"Where?" Liu Zhang asked feebly, obviously not expecting much from Pang Xi's proposal.

"Yan Yan, the prefect of Berkshire, has good military skills. Although he is getting old, he is also brave. In Berkshire, there are still 1000 troops in the garrison. General Yan can keep 4000 people to garrison, and he can take the remaining [-]. People come back to help Chengdu, so that the city of Chengdu can be preserved." Pang Xi said firmly.
