The last three kingdoms

Chapter 398
Fifty miles to the west of Chencang, there is a small town called Kuaicheng.Kuaicheng is located at the foot of Wushan Mountain, a branch of Longshan Mountain, close to Weishui River, and is the only way to Chencang.

Since there were no Wei troops stationed in Kuaicheng, the advancing Shu army easily captured Kuaicheng.

Liu Yinsheng's strategy of attacking the west is progressing very smoothly. Judging from the information he has, Wei General Hu Shi has led [-] troops to aid Xinping, and Wei Shuai Sima Wang has also stationed in Chiyang. Obviously, Wei Jun has been settled by Wang Qi Bewildered by his actions, he believed that the main attack direction of the Shu army was the Jing River in the North Road, and the main force of the Wei army was frequently mobilized to the north, which undoubtedly created favorable conditions for the surprise attack on Chencang.

So Liu Yin immediately marched eastward from Jieting, and came straight to Chen Cang.

Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, has a vast territory. Even if Sima Wang is willing, he is unable to defend all the cities. Without using troops to guard, we can only gather heavy troops to guard important places such as Chencang, Wugong, Huaili, etc. A city like Kuaicheng is completely abandoned.

The Shu army's attack on Chencang this time dispatched four of the five armies, eleven battalions, plus 5000 Qiang cavalry, and the force reached [-]. For Kuaicheng, it is equivalent to an isolated island falling into the vast ocean, and it is submerged in an instant without a trace. It is meaningless for the soldiers stationed in Kuaicheng to resist or not.

After the Pioneer Yang'an Camp captured Kuaicheng, Liu Yin also followed into Kuaicheng. He didn't even ask Zhang Le about the battle situation, because Liu Yin's eyes were all focused on the city fifty miles away. Chen Cang above.

The gain or loss of a small Kuai City will not have any impact on the overall situation of Guanlong, and only Chen Cang is really important.

Zhang Le was not complacent because he won Kuaicheng, this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the pioneer, and his goal was to keep an eye on Chen Cang.

"Brother, is Chen Cang fighting like this? We at Yanganying are waiting for a word from you."

Looking at Zhang Le who was eager to fight, Liu Yin smiled slightly, and said: "Chencang is an important pass in Guanlong, and the previous governors of Yongliang in Wei State have all valued it very much. Just wait and see."

Zhang Leman said indifferently: "Chencang's defenders are only 3000 people. No matter how strong the city is, once my army arrives, it will be wiped out. Don't worry, big brother. Within three days, our Yang'an camp will take Chencang first and kill the king." Head-to-toe level."

Liu Yin shook his head and said: "Back then, Prime Minister Zhuge had a strong army and besieged Chen Cang with tens of thousands of people. It took more than [-] days and he failed to capture it. It shows that Chen Cang City is dangerous. North, but the defensive strength of Chencang City should not be underestimated, if Chencang cannot be captured in a short time, Sima Wang will definitely go south to rescue, our army is trapped under Chencang City, the situation is bound to be difficult."

While the two were talking, a scout soldier galloped over, jumped off his horse, and bowed to Liu Yin, "I want to report to the general, I just found out that the Wei army participated in the western army, and Su Yu led [-] troops to Chen Cang." , together with Wang Hun's soldiers stationed at Chencang."

Hearing the news, the generals around Liu Yin were obviously startled, and Chen Cang's defenders suddenly increased to 1 people. It is obvious that the difficulty of conquering Chen Cang has doubled.Although it is said that the [-] defenders are still at a clear disadvantage compared to the more than [-] men of the Shu army, the generals of the Shu army are very clear that it is almost impossible to take them to Chencang in a short time.And once he learned of the real movement of the Shu army, Sima Wang would definitely transfer the troops that had already gone to Xinping to turn to Chen Cang.

I am afraid that no one would want to face such a situation. All the generals of the Shu army looked heavy. Obviously, this plan of attacking east and west was not very perfect. deployment.

"Wenxuan, it seems that the plan has changed. It may not be so easy to win Chen Cang. What should be the next step?" Fu Qian said with a slightly worried expression.

Originally, it was almost a sure thing to attack Chen Cang, which was stationed by [-] people, with [-] people, but the sudden increase of Wei Jun's troops made the battle of Chen Cang full of variables, and Fu Chen couldn't help feeling worried.

Liu Yin kept his composure and asked the scout: "You just said that the leader of the army is Su Yu who joined the army in the west?"

"That's right, it's Su Yu." The scout reported.

"Su Yu? A soldier who joins the army can actually lead the army to fight. Does Sima Wang have no generals to send?" Liu Yin muttered. As a member of the army, he led troops to guard the street pavilion, but the result was a crushing defeat. In people's impressions, most of the soldiers who joined the army were behind-the-scenes personnel. Liu Yin was a little surprised to join the army and reinforce Chen Cang.

Qian Hong knew Su Yu a little bit, and said immediately: "General, don't underestimate this Su Yu, this man is well versed in culture and martial arts, loyal and wise, he is a rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs, He is highly valued by Sima Wang, and it must be his strategy to send troops to reinforce Chen Cang this time."

Liu Yin nodded slightly. It is an indisputable fact that Wei has a lot of talents. Compared with the lack of talents in Shu, Wei has too many talents.

Zhang Leman said nonchalantly: "What's so great about that Su Yu? In my opinion, there are only 1 troops guarding Chencang in Wei State. Could it be that our 8-odd army is afraid of him, and [-] will not be able to do it. Someone is willing to be the vanguard. If you can't beat Chen Cang, you will never give up."

Fu Qian frowned and said: "Everyone knows the danger of Chen Cang. Although the tactics of war are twice as powerful, we can attack them, and if we are ten times, we can surround them. Our army is eight times larger than the enemy. It stands to reason that we have an absolute advantage, but Chen Cang can't escape it with common sense. , even with ten times as many soldiers, it is not easy to take down Chen Cang in a very short period of time. Once the attack starts, our army is likely to fall into a situation where the enemy is on the front and back, and the situation is bound to be unfavorable."

Zhang Le was a little discouraged and said: "Could it be that we have to retreat back to Longxi?"

Now that the Shu army is on the verge of attacking, it has no choice but to retreat. If it retreats at this moment, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the army. If this opportunity is lost, it will become more difficult to attack Guanzhong.

Everyone's gazes were all focused on Liu Yin's body. It was up to Liu Yin to decide whether to retreat or advance.
