The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1261 Zhang Wang Waiting
King Meichuan never thought that the Han army would come so quickly. Hearing the news of the defeat of the Goguryeo army and the death of his beloved general Suodu, King Meichuan was shocked and saddened. Murong Xun has been punished, but under everyone's forgiveness, King Meichuan weighed the pros and cons, so he no longer pursued Murong Xun's responsibility.

Originally, I wanted to discuss the strategy to deal with the enemy, but I didn't expect that the Han army would move so fast, and they would not be given any breathing room at all. He came in hot pursuit and surrounded Xiangping City.

King Meichuan was dumbfounded when he heard the news, and his head grew big in an instant. Originally, when the Han army was in the west of the Liaohe River, King Meichuan didn't feel threatened, and he still had fun when he should, but now that the Han army was approaching the city, he This time, he was really panicked, at a loss, and didn't know what to do.

In fact, for the Goguryeo people, they are a group of speculators who are only good at hiding cats and cats in the mountains. If the enemy is strong, we will retreat, and if the enemy is weak, we will advance. The battle undoubtedly proved this point. The Goguryeo and Xianbei coalition forces, which have the superiority in military strength, will be defeated. This makes it difficult for King Meichuan to have confidence in the next Xiangping battle.

If possible, King Meichuan would have fled Xiangping City immediately. Although Xiangping City has fine wine and women, you must have your life to enjoy all of this. King Meichuan knows this very well.

It's a pity that the Han army didn't give King Meichuan time to escape. When King Meichuan reacted, the Han army had already surrounded Xiangping City, and it was too late to escape.

King Meichuan was frowning. Fighting city defense is not the strong point of the Goguryeo people. Their greatest skill is to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, relying on the protection of primeval forests to fight guerrilla warfare.Even the fact that Marutu Castle fell twice in history proved this point.

King Meichuan led people up to the tower. The Han army was busy setting up camp at the moment and did not launch an attack on Xiangping City. This made King Meichuan feel a little more at ease. Prepare for a long-term siege plan, Xiangping is an isolated city, if it is really besieged, once the food is exhausted, then they will die.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, we can only send people to sneak out of the city and summon the warriors in our country to rescue him and defeat the Han army." Prime Minister Zuo of Goguryeo said.

King Meichuan looked at the iron barrel-like formation of the Han army, and said with some concern: "The Han people are so tightly surrounded, can the people sent out break through?"

Prime Minister Zuo said: "I have carefully looked at the defense of the Han people. Although it looks extremely tight, there are some small gaps in each camp. We can send people out at night, and send a few more. There is always a chance to stand out." go."

King Meichuan nodded. What he is worried about now is not casualties, but if the information cannot be sent out, it will be a bad thing. Since Prime Minister Zuo suggested sending more messengers to try, King Meichuan has no objection. Anyway, it can only be death now. The horse is a living horse doctor.

Seeing that it was getting late and the mood of King Meichuan was waning, he ordered the generals guarding the city to be alert to prevent the Han army from sneaking at night. As for sending messengers, he left it to Prime Minister Zuo.King Mei Chuan returned to the palace, but that night he didn't call any more beauties to sleep with him, nor did he sleep soundly. In the midst of tossing and turning, another dawn dawned.

Murongxin, Duan Qizhen, and Yuwen Pubo also stayed up all night. They have been sticking to the city wall. Now their fate is tied to the Goguryeo people. , so their mood is no different from that of King Meichuan, they are both extremely heavy, and the solid city wall can't give them any comfort.

Fortunately, the Han army did not take any action except to reinforce the camp outside the city. Xiangping City had a difficult night after being besieged.In the morning, many people greeted each other with a pair of dark circles under their eyes, with panicked and uneasy expressions.

Prime Minister Zuo reported to King Meichuan about the dispatch of the messengers. Although most of the messengers were intercepted and captured by the Han army, a few of the messengers escaped by luck and were rushing on their way to Marudu. Within two days, they could take urgent letters to Marutsu.

King Meichuan could finally feel at ease and heaved a long sigh of relief, but he didn't know that this was just the messengers deliberately let go by the Han army. The line of defense, how can a few messengers stand out.

Knowing that Goguryeo has sent a messenger to Wandu, Liu Yin nodded slightly. Everything so far is under his control. I believe that after the Goguryeo messenger returns to Wandu, they will send troops soon. Rescue King Meichuan who was trapped in Xiangping City.

Goguryeo people are born with an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is why they have been attacked repeatedly for more than [-] years, but they have never been subjugated. When they feel that the enemy is strong, they will not go head-on. Take the initiative to avoid war, the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy retreats and advances, roundabout, take advantage of the situation to rise again.

But this time Liu Yin had already been on guard against their move. After the Battle of Shuangliudu, Liu Yin ignored other things and first sent cavalry to surround Xiangping City, not giving King Meichuan any chance to escape. So he took King Meichuan as a hostage, and it was impossible for the troops who stayed in Goguryeo to see their king in distress and not rescue them.

And once they send troops, they will completely fall into Liu Yin's trap.

After receiving the news that the Goguryeo messenger was going east, Liu Yin also immediately dispatched troops from Yunnan and Guizhou. The Zhuque Army and Qilin Army who were arranged in Yiwulu Mountain had no worries at the moment, and were quickly transferred to the front line. This time Liu Yin ordered The White Tiger Army, the Yang'an Army, and the Tiger Infantry Army form the siege army, and continue to besiege Xiangping City. Marching in, an ambush was set up in the Baiya Mountain area east of Xiangping, and a net was laid, waiting for the reinforcements of the Goguryeo people to drill inside.
