The last three kingdoms

Chapter 221 Return to Qi City
With desperation and unwillingness, Yan Yu fell on his back to the ground, blood stained his chest, the breath of life flowed away quickly, and his pupils began to dilate, but he was unwilling to close his eyes and tried hard Looking up at the blue sky.But everything in front of him became blurred, his consciousness disappeared, and everything went away from him...

Liu Yin drew out his sword, looked at Yan Yu who was dying, sneered, and ordered his body to be restrained.

The culprit was killed, and the army cheered thunderously. Yan Yu's rebellion finally came to an end.

Before Liu Yin could purge the army, a fast horse galloped towards the right army. The officers and soldiers guarding the camp had just stopped him, when the leader yelled loudly and loudly: "You bloody hell! If you don't have eyes, you dare to block Lao Tzu's lead, and you miss the military situation, and you are the only one who asks."

The voice was so loud that Zhang Le's loud voice could be heard even from a long distance away. Liu Yin immediately sent an order to let him go. Zhang Le rushed in. When he saw Liu Yin, he didn't care to elaborate on other things, and said in a rough voice: "Brother, it's not a big deal. Well, Wu Gou's pursuers are already ten miles away, and they will soon be chasing them."

Liu Yin made a decisive decision and immediately ordered all the troops of the Shu army to enter the city immediately. Zhang Le took the lead and rushed to the city to call for the door.

Zhang Zun suspected that Yan Yu had ulterior motives and refused him to enter the city. He kept a close watch on the movement outside the city from the top of the city tower. Naturally, he could clearly see the large-scale melee in the right barracks. However, there were few soldiers in the city and the situation outside the city was unknown. Zhang Zun Zun didn't dare to send troops rashly, and kept guarding the city gate.

When Zhang Le rushed to the city and explained the situation, Zhang Zun opened the city gate with confidence. The right army entered the city first, followed by the central army and Liu Yin's left army.

Naturally, Liu Yin also entered the city following the last group of Shu troops. The moment the city gate closed, Liu Yin could not help but see that Wu Jun's brigade had appeared in his field of vision, and the sound of shouting and killing could be heard endlessly.

Liu Yin heaved a sigh of relief, and finally brought the team back to Qicheng before Wu Jun arrived. Although the result seemed to be safe and sound, only Liu Yin could understand the danger in the process. If there is a slight mistake or delay, the entire Shu army may be caught in the predicament of being attacked by the enemy.

But fortunately, everything went smoothly and perfectly, not only got rid of the traitor Yan Yu and brought the Shu army into Qicheng safely, but more importantly, Liu Yin pulled back the team of nearly [-] soldiers from the right army. The Shu army suffered heavy losses in the battle. If the right army was lost again, more than half of its strength would be lost. For the Shu army that is facing difficulties now, it will undoubtedly make things worse. A good thing to celebrate.

After entering the city, Zhang Zun greeted him at the first time. He already knew the news of Zhuge Zhan's death and Yan Yu's rebellion. Now the supreme commander of the three armies is Anxi General Liu Yin. After the army entered the city, Zhang Zun took Qicheng The command of the defense was handed over to Liu Yin.

"This time, if Zhang Shangshu hadn't seen through Yan Yu's trick to defraud the city and refused him to enter the city, the consequences would have been disastrous." Liu Yin was full of praise for Zhang Zun's unique insight.

Zhang Zun was a little ashamed. At the beginning when he refused Yan Yu to enter the city, Zhang Zun was a little bit difficult, but he never thought that Yan Yu would really rebel and join the enemy, so Zhang Zun accidentally saved the city of Qi.Of course, Zhang Zun was embarrassed to say that, he said: "The fierce battle at Qingyangpu was in full swing, but Yan Yu led his troops back to Qi County suddenly, which made me suspicious, and I asked him for the military order of Zhuge Duhu. Since I couldn't get it out, I concluded that there must be fraud in it, and as expected, Yan Yu betrayed the country and turned to the enemy, this traitor really deserves death."

Regardless of the chatter, the vanguard of the Wu army has already reached the city of Qixian County. The leader of the army is Buchan, the younger brother of the Buxie.

Liu Yin immediately went to the city tower in person and commanded the Shu army to guard the city.Now the Shu army still has 5000 troops. Relying on the strong city, there is no pressure to defend, and the whole situation has turned the corner.

Lu Kang was quite depressed. Yan Yu's defeat was indeed beyond Lu Kang's expectations. The Battle of Qingyangpu went smoothly, which made Lu Kang very proud for a while, although Liu led most of the Shu army out of the encirclement. , but Lu Kang believed that with Yan Yu, a chess piece he had already laid out, he used it to go down to Qicheng and encircle the remnants of the Shu army under Qicheng. Play the triumphant song and take the defensively empty Chengdu.

But never expected that Yan Yu, who commanded 1 troops, lost his chain at a critical moment, and even failed to take down a Qixian County that was empty of defenses. More than 1 people were recruited by Liu Yin again, which made Lu Kang wonder what happened.

Now the Wu army is facing a dilemma. Although the Shu army was defeated in the Battle of Qingyangpu, it only lost a part of its troops. Most of the army was huddled in the city of Qi. Obviously, it would be more difficult to eat them. big.Qixian County is an important pass in front of the Wu army. If you want to go west to Chengdu, Qixian County is the place you must pass through. If you can't take Qixian County, attacking Chengdu is just a fantasy.And now that the Wu army has advanced thousands of miles, and there are many difficulties with heavy food and supplies, Lu Kang will not be reconciled if he withdraws from Yong'an.

No way, Lu Kang could only gather heavy troops and launch a fierce offensive against Qicheng.

However, the defense of Qicheng is very complete. As the county governor of Dongguanghan County and guarding the east gate of Chengdu, this county has a tall wall, complete defense facilities, and enough troops, it can be used as impenetrable as gold. describe.The Wu army marched lightly and lacked heavy siege equipment. It is almost unimaginable to conquer a fortified city like Qixian only by relying on the siege method of ants.

The most difficult battle in the cold weapon era is siege warfare. In many cases, it is very difficult to win a well-guarded city under the situation of a five-to-one or even ten-to-one ratio of forces. Many sieges A fight lasted for months or even years, and the only way to spend time was to slowly exhaust the food, grass, weapons, and morale of the defenders in the city before they had a chance to break through the city.

But what Lu Kang lacks most now is time. This time he attacked the Shu Kingdom, he fought a blitzkrieg, with light troops advancing long distances, and using surprise attacks to attack the city and the village. It really worked quite well in the early stage, winning the important towns of Yong'an and Jiangzhou , and once it turns into a tough battle, the lack of food and grass, the changes in the situation, and everything is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Wu.
