The last three kingdoms

Chapter 399
Retreat back to Longxi?Liu Yin never thought of this at all. He has experienced such difficulties as climbing snow mountains and crossing grasslands. How could such a small accident in front of him shake Liu Yin's determination?
Wei Jun sent more troops to Chen Cang, although it was a little unexpected, but it is common sense, Chen Cang is the first barrier of defense in Guanzhong, and it is an indispensable link in the entire defense system. It is also normal for Wei Jun to increase Chen Cang's defense. one thing.

Even so, the difficulty for the Shu army to attack Chencang has increased a lot, but Liu Yin has a deeper consideration.

Since Sima Wang attaches so much importance to Chen Cang, it proves that he will never allow Chen Cang to make any mistakes. If Chen Cang is surrounded, Sima Wang will definitely do his best to rescue him.If you can't win Chencang in a short period of time, although the Shu army will suffer from the enemy's predicament, but thinking about it in another way, it is undoubtedly the biggest opportunity for the Shu army.

In the comparison of power between Shu and Wei in the past, the Wei army had a clear advantage in field battles, especially when fighting on the plains of the large regiments.

But after the Battle of Jieting, this advantage of the Wei army disappeared. The cavalry of the Shu army had a clear upper hand, and began to occupy an overwhelming advantage in plain warfare. Instead, the Wei army could only rely on strong cities and thick villages for defense. Combat, this change of situation surprised many people, but everyone understood that the history of Wei Guojin riding to dominate Pingchuan was gone forever.

If Chencang is besieged, Sima Wang will definitely send a large army to rescue, and the Wei army, who is not good at fighting on the plains, left the cover of the city and the stronghold, which undoubtedly provided Liu Yin with a chance to besiege the city and fight for aid.

In Liu Yin's plan, the main force of the Wei army was transferred to the north line with the strategy of attacking the west. In this way, the defense around Chencang was empty, laying the foundation for taking Chencang as quickly as possible, and the first step of the eastward march to Guanzhong was won.

But the current situation forced Liu Yin to revise his original plan, that is, to give up the attack on Chencang and focus on besieging the city and fighting for aid.

To be a general, you need to judge the situation and make changes when the opportunity arises, so that you can be called a famous general.Although there are sayings in Sun Tzu's Art of War that "the one who attacks the enemy must be rescued", the focus of his siege and aid is still to besiege the city. The main direction of attack is still on the siege of the city.

Liu Yin's latest strategy is to use the siege as a bait to lure the Wei army to come to help, and set up an ambush halfway to attack them. With the current combat strength of the Shu army, they have a clear advantage in fighting in the plains, and they can just annihilate the Wei army to come to aid. soldier.

When the eyes of all the generals were all focused on Liu Yin, Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "It's a good thing that Sima Wang dared to send reinforcements, I'm afraid he didn't send many reinforcements. It wasn't a good fight."

The generals couldn't help but wonder, what is the most feared thing in war, isn't it the situation of being attacked by the enemy?The fortified city in front was not captured, and the enemy's reinforcements came from behind. I am afraid that such a situation is something that no one would like to encounter, but at this moment Liu Yin said that he was afraid that the Wei army would not have many reinforcements. What do you mean?
But from Liu Yin's confident and calm demeanor, everyone seemed to feel that Liu Yin was not joking.

"Wenxuan, you mean..." Fu Qian said.

Liu Yin said calmly and leisurely: "Since Chencang can't be taken in a short time, why should we stick to the gains and losses of one city and one place? Sima Wang sent troops to rescue Chencang, which is exactly in our favor. The battle of Chencang is not about encircling the enemy. , while fighting for aid, as long as Sima Wang's vital forces are wiped out and Guanzhong is taken, it will be just around the corner."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Ganqing Liu Yin did not focus all his attention on Chen Cangcheng, but that he had a bigger appetite and was going to eat up the soldiers that Wei Jun came to help.

Liu Yin immediately made deployments and divided his troops into two groups, one led by Fu Qian and Huang Chong, with 5000 troops, pointing directly at Chen Cang and launching a feint attack on Chen Cang. It may make Wei Jun urgently ask Sima in Chang'an for help.

And Liu Yin personally led the Hubu Battalion, the Huqi Battalion with 2 horses, and Yao Yikang's [-] Qiang Cavalry, detoured to the east of Chencang, set up an ambush on the only way to pass through Guanlong Avenue, and waited for Wei Guo's reinforcements come.

The guard of Chen Cang, Wang Hun, hosted a banquet in person to clean up Su Yu.

This is not because Wang Hun and Su Yu's grades are good, but because Wang Hun has to do it.To be honest, Wang Hun was not too impressed with Su Yu's arrival. Wang Hun believed that with the 3000 troops in his hands alone, it was more than enough to keep Chencang.

Since Wang Hun took office as the guard of Chencang, he has been rushing to repair Chencang City day and night, making the impenetrable Chencang City look more secure.Although Wang Hun only had 3000 troops in his hands, Wang Hun had never been timid at all. The dangerous terrain of Chencang City undoubtedly gave Wang Hun great confidence.

One of the people Wang Hun admired the most was Hao Zhao. With a mere thousand troops, he blocked the invasion of the Shu army ten times larger than himself. The famous Zhuge Liang.Hao Zhao made Zhuge Liang lose face under Chencang City, and paid a huge price, but he still failed to win Chencang.

But now Wang Hun just sat in the position that Hao Zhao once sat in the past, which undoubtedly made Wang Hun's blood even more excited. He secretly vowed that he would follow Hao Zhao's example and defend Chen Cangcheng to the death.

Just when Wang Hun was complacent, the news of Su Yu's reinforcements came suddenly, which made Wang Hun frown greatly. It is true that Su Yu's arrival has strengthened the defense of Chencang City, but no matter the official rank or rank In terms of the number of soldiers, Su Yu was ahead of Wang Hun. Although Wang Hun was still the number one defender of Chen Cangcheng under Sima Wang's order, Wang Hun knew that Su Yu's arrival in the army would surely break his previous status. In the situation where Chen Cang's family dominates, even if Chen Cang's battle has made great achievements, he will have no chance to be monopolized again.

For Wang Hun, who was eager to make contributions and win a wife and son, it was indeed a big blow. The reception banquet was held in a dull and boring place.

But for Su Yu, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. After all, it is very rare for him to be able to command a soldier.
