The last three kingdoms

Chapter 322

To the east of Longxi County, along the Wei River, there are three counties lined up: Nan'an County, Tianshui County and Guangwei County.Among them, Nan'an County bears the brunt, and its county seat, Bindao County, is only [-] miles away from Xiangwu.

However, Deng Ai suggested that Liu Yin does not need to attack Nan'an County first, and only need to send a small number of soldiers to surround Nan'an County without fighting, and concentrate superior forces to directly capture Tianshui.Among the counties in Longxi, Tianshui has the largest garrison troops, but only 3000 now, and Nan'an is even smaller, only 1000.If we attack Nan'an first, it will definitely make Wang Qi of Tianshui fearful and abandon the city. What Deng Ai is most worried about is that when Wang Qi retreats, Tianshui's granary may be burned, so Deng Ai proposed to take advantage of the news that Longxi was lost. Rumors spread that when Wang Qi was still hesitating, he rushed directly to the city of Jixian County in a lightning-fast manner. He first took down the Tianshui granary on the ground, and then surrounded Jixian County, forcing Wang Qi to surrender.

Deng Aijiu was in Longyou, so he naturally knew the importance of taking that city first. Tianshui is the center of Longyou. Only by controlling Tianshui can the overall situation be revitalized. As for Nan'an County, it is just a small county, sandwiched between the two big counties of Longxi and Tianshui. For a while, as long as the Shu army captured Tianshui, Nan'an would be destroyed without attack.

Liu Yin appreciated Deng Ai's strategy very much, and it was quite in line with the strategist's idea of ​​choosing the key points and attacking them without having to seize them one by one. Now the overall situation in Longyou is actually in the city of Tianshui. As long as Tianshui is taken, the entire Longyou The situation on the right is completely alive.

Liu Yin immediately sent his troops to the east, except for the Yong'an battalion that ordered Luo Xi to besiege Nan'an, he personally led the other five battalions and led Hong's [-] Longxi soldiers to go straight to Tianshui County.

The Shu army's surprise attack on Longxi County was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and a stone hit a thousand waves. Among the counties of Longyou, it was no less than a magnitude [-] earthquake.

The prefect of Nan'an County was surnamed Qiao Mingpu, a native of Dongping in Yanzhou. The prefect of Nan'an was just transferred last autumn. When he took office, it was the time when Zhong Hui led an army to attack Shu. As a rear county, Nan'an finally truly deserved It's all right.Qiaopu was really not used to being transferred from the prosperous and prosperous Henan land to the desolate and remote Xiliang land. As a civil servant who had never fought a war, Qiaopu was transferred to the Longyou area where the people were violent and barbarians were rampant. , gave him a real headache.

But fortunately, for more than a year, Jiang Wei, the general of Shu, no longer disturbed Longyou. Occasionally, some Hu Yi looted on a small scale. All in all, the situation in Nan'an was generally stable. Although there is no merit or fault, it can be regarded as an account of the first year of his term of office.

What Qiaopu dislikes the most is the weather in Longyou. In spring, there are often windy and sandstorms, and in winter, it is terribly cold. It is already freezing in Longyou in October. Can freeze people to death.Qiaopu was roasting in the hall, thinking about whether to spend some money next year, to do activities in the court, and try to find a way to transfer back to the Central Plains. He has had enough of this damn place.

The news of the fall of Longxi made Qiaopu dumbfounded. Longxi and Nan'an were adjacent, and a sense of crisis suddenly hit Qiaopu's heart. Before he could make any reaction, Qiaopu had already accepted The news of the siege of the Shu army came.

The brigade of the Shu army rushed eastward, leaving only the Yong'an camp to besiege Nan'an.

Liu Yin's instructions to Luo Xi were to encircle Nan'an City and not fight. The Yong'an camp only needs to set up camp outside the four gates of Nan'an to besiege. If the enemy of Nan'an tries to escape, they will be wiped out on the spot. city.Although there are not many defenders in Nan'an, only a thousand people, Nan'an is still a county city, and the city's defenses are strong. After the settlement of the county, Nan'an was an isolated city, which would collapse without a fight.

However, Luo Xi is young and energetic, and he has not fought in a real sense since he was in charge of the Yong'an camp as the general of Zhonglang. This attack on Nan'an can be regarded as his maiden battle. , Shout out.

Qiaopu was already in a panic and didn't know what to do. Nan'an Captain Cheng Yang stepped forward and said: "Nan'an has few generals, and it is not a good strategy to stick to it. Since the enemy has come to call for battle, the last general should lead a team to fight. If you can behead him, it will surely dampen the morale of the people in Shu."

Cheng Yang was nine feet tall, with big arms and a round waist. He thought he was brave and brave, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight.Qiao Pu agreed, Cheng Yang led more than a hundred people, opened the city gate, and killed them.

Luo Xi rode a blue horse. His original mount was slaughtered when he crossed the grassland. After arriving in Longxi, Liu Yin got hundreds of horses. Although it was not enough to form an organized cavalry, it was enough for all the generals to ride. Still more than enough.He is dressed in silver armor, holding a silver gun, heroic, handsome and elegant.

Cheng Yang saw that the leading general of the Shu army was actually a childish young man, so he couldn't help laughing, and said, "You dare to come here to die!"

Luo Xi was furious, stepped forward with a spear, and stabbed Cheng Yang.Cheng Yang had extraordinary physical strength and was good at wielding a big axe. He didn't pay attention to Luo Xi at all.

The ax was powerful and heavy, Luo Xi didn't dare to catch it head-on, he sideways dodged it, Luo Xi relied on his strength to fight, he was definitely not Cheng Yang's opponent, but Luo Xi saw that although Cheng Yang was powerful, but his ax skills were chaotic, Judging that he is just a person who can only use brute force, he used cleverness to break through thousands of catties, and used various marksmanship to find his flaws.Before the end of the battle, Luo Xi found an opening, and the silver spear was as fast as lightning, and directly stabbed Cheng Yang's throat.

As soon as Cheng Yang died, the rest fled in all directions, and Luo Xi pulled his horse and rushed towards Nan'an.

Qiaopu watched Cheng Yang die in battle from the top of the city, and his ghosts came out. Seeing Luo Xi charging up with a murderous look, he was so frightened that he quickly closed the city gate and ordered the archers to shoot him.

Luo Xi rushed to the bottom of the city, and arrows rained down on the city, so he had to turn his horse back and curse again.

At this time, because of Cheng Yang's death, Qiaopu had long regretted it. Despite the insults from the Shu army in the city, he refused to fight and acted like a turtle behind closed doors.

Wei Bing did not dare to fight, Luo Xi was helpless, Liu Yin had an order first, Luo Xi did not dare to resist the order to attack the city, so he had to lead the army back one mile, camped under the city, and besieged Qiaopu in the city.

Shu soldiers numbered 5000, while Wei soldiers in the city were less than [-]. Qiaopu had already lost his fighting spirit and dared not abandon the city to break through. He could only hope that Tianshui prefect Wang Qi might send troops to rescue him.

But he didn't know that Wang Qi was under much more pressure than him at this time, and he had already taken care of himself, so there was still room for him to break the siege of Nan'an.
