The last three kingdoms

Chapter 416
The results of the Battle of Wuzhangyuan soon spread to Chencang City.

Hearing the news of Sima Wang's defeat, the hopeful Chencang defenders were like a bucket of cold water poured on them, pouring a chill from head to toe.

Although Chencang City is extremely strong, if any strong city loses reinforcements, it will become a dead city, and sooner or later it will be difficult to escape the fate of breaking the city.

Chen Cangcheng currently has only [-] defenders, but the Shu army besieging it has several times the strength. Everyone knows that relying on the strength of the city wall, there is no problem in holding on for a short period of time, but once the reinforcements are lost, Chen Cangcheng will never stop. There is no hope, morale will only drop, and in the end there is only one result of destruction.

Of course, during Zhuge Liang’s Northern Expedition, the Battle of Chencang was very fierce. Zhuge Liang’s troops attacked continuously for more than [-] days, which brought great casualties to the defenders. It may be lost, but despite this, the guard Hao Zhao, who was seriously injured, died of illness shortly after the battle. It can be said that the Battle of Chen Cang was extremely tragic.

This time Liu Yin attacked Chencang, but he was much smarter than Zhuge Liang. He adopted the method of besieging the city to fight for reinforcements, and set up an ambush on the only way for the reinforcements of the Wei army to destroy Sima Wang's reinforcements in one fell swoop, making the Wei army no longer able to rescue. Chen Cang,

Wang Hun's expression was stern, and as soon as he got the news, he ordered someone to recall Su Yu to discuss important matters together.

Now facing the defenders of Chencang, it seems that there are only two options to choose, continue to hold on or abandon the city to break through.

Wang Hun was more inclined to defend to the death. Since Sima Wang handed over the entire defense of Chencang to him, he had absolutely no intention of abandoning the city and fleeing. Hun is determined, and wants to live and die with Chen Cang.

Su Yu believes that under the current situation, it is meaningless to defend Chencang to death. The reinforcements are cut off, which is tantamount to putting Chencangcheng in a dead end. Even if you stick to it for a few more days, it will only take a few more days in the end .

Therefore, Su Yu believes that taking advantage of the fact that the battle of Wuzhangyuan has just ended and the main force of the Shu army has not yet returned to Chen Cang, this is undoubtedly the last chance for the Wei army to defend. They will not come again.

Unlike Wang Hun, Su Yu was sent to Chencang as a member of the army this time to assist Wang Hun in defending the city. In his opinion, this would be a battle that would change his future and destiny, so Su Yu was full of ambition and determined to fight A beautiful battle is coming, let Wei Guo's colleagues also see that the staff can also fight a good battle.

But all prerequisites are based on the fact that Chen Cang is not lost and his own life is fully guaranteed. Once Chen Cang is likely to fall, Su Yu does not have the slightest belief in living with the enemy. All he is thinking about now is How to break out.

Hearing Wang Hun express his determination as if death was at home, Su Yu's face was very ugly. He coughed heavily and said, "General Wang, it is meaningless to stick to Chencang. Now the Sima Governor's troops were defeated by Liu Yin in Wuzhangyuan. It is impossible to send reinforcements to Chencang again, the enemy is strong and we are weak, if we do not look for an opportunity to break through, the whole army is likely to be wiped out, which is more important, I believe General Wang will definitely consider it."

Wang Hun glanced at Su Yu contemptuously, and sneered secretly in his heart, a literati is just a literati, a person who is really greedy for life and afraid of death.Wang Hun said proudly: "I was ordered by Governor Sima to guard Chen Cang. If there are people, Chen Cang will be there. Even if you are the last one in the battle, you will never take half a step back!"

Su Yu's face suddenly changed. You must know that Su Yu was above Wang Hun in terms of rank and the number of troops in command. The rank is higher, but Chen Cang's main general is still Wang Hun.

This undoubtedly made Su Yu secretly slander, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Sima Wang's decision could not be changed for the time being, and he could only accept such an arrangement.

On the surface, the Wei army camp is a group of harmony. In the face of resisting the successive attacks of the Shu army, no matter whether it is the defenders who first stationed in Chencang or the Wei army who later assisted in the defense, everyone is united and united, vowing to defend Chencang city to the death.

However, there are always certain cracks between the first come and the later come. Under the current situation of the enemy, the cracks have not developed much, but now the situation has changed suddenly, and the cracks in the Wei army camp have become bigger and bigger. irreparable state.

"It's not that Su is afraid of death, but Su has to be responsible for the more than 1 soldiers in Chencang City. They all have parents, wives, children, relatives and family members. If they know that they can't do it, that's what fools do. There is no hope of long-term defense, and Sima Dudu has already retreated to Chang'an. Compared with Chen Cang, Chang'an is the real central point of Guanzhong, and there is more need for soldiers and horses to defend it. You must be overjoyed. Su believes that it is better to break through."

Now Su Yu and Wang Hun are sticking to their own opinions, Wang Hun insists on defending the city, Su Yu insists on breaking out, no matter who they are, they can't convince anyone, it's almost to the point of incompatibility.

In the end, the two decided to divide their forces and go their own way. Wang Hun led the 3000 people stationed at Chencang to continue to defend the city, while Su Yu led the 7000 people he brought earlier to break through.

Such a result is obviously acceptable to both sides. Wang Hun originally had a hostile attitude towards Su Yu who came for reinforcements. Deep in his heart, with his current 3000 troops, it is enough to hold Chen Cang , Sending another 7000 people is simply superfluous, without any practical significance.

At this moment, Su Yu insisted on leading the army to break out of the siege, so Wang Hun agreed to his request and each led his troops to do their own thing, which also happened to Wang Hun's mind.

"This guy, he shouldn't have come!" Wang Hun cursed secretly.

Dividing the troops is the best result Su Yu can achieve. As the chief general of the Chencang garrison, Wang Hun should have the highest decision-making power. If the army breaks through, the next best thing is to lead the troops of the headquarters to break through, so Su Yu can still accept it.In his opinion, this is undoubtedly the best choice, each going his own way, going his own way, without interfering with each other.

"You man, wait to die in Chencang City!" Su Yu also cursed secretly, and immediately Su Yu immediately ordered 7000 men and horses under his command, opened the city gate, and rushed to the outside of Chencang City, trying to get rid of the heavy forces of the Shu army. Cut a bloody path in the siege.
