The last three kingdoms

Chapter 432

"What? Nancheng has fallen?" Sima Wang's face was full of shock.

He was commanding the army to carry out defensive operations, and there was a shocking explosion sound from the south city. Sima Wang was greatly surprised, and immediately sent scouts to investigate the details.

Soon the scout soldiers reported up, and Sima Wang was shocked by the result.The scout soldiers reported: "Report to the governor, the Shu people did not know where to get a secret weapon, buried it under the city wall, and there was a loud bang, at least the section of the city wall between Anmen and Xi'anmen collapsed." Nearly thirty zhang, the Shu army entered through the gap, General Hu Shi could not resist the enemy, and Nancheng had already fallen."

"Secret weapon?" Sima Wang couldn't help feeling a bit of unspeakable bitterness in his heart. This is no longer the time for him to suffer from Liu Yin's new weapon. In the battle of Jieting, Sima Wang was defeated by Liu Yin's new saddle Under the stirrups, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is doubled, making them invincible.

This time Liu Yin did an even better job, directly blowing down the city wall. You must know how strong the city wall of Chang'an City is. Among all the cities in the world, Chang'an City also ranks first in terms of its strength. It is estimated that there is a fight with Luoyang, the capital city, but such an extremely strong city has completely fallen within three days of the war.

In the letter to Sima Zhao, Sima Wang once vowed that Chang'an city soldiers have sufficient food and food, which is as solid as gold soup, and there is no problem in guarding it for three to five years.

But this became a joke in the end. In the so-called three to five years, the Shu army had already broken through the city wall of Chang'an and entered the city after only holding on for three to five days.

Sima Wang couldn't understand what method Liu Yin used to blow down the southern city wall, but the result made him feel desperate. Once he lost the barrier of the city wall, it would be impossible to keep Chang'an City.

It seems that they have already heard the news that the Shu army in the south of the city has succeeded. The right army and the rear army of the Shu army in the north of the city became extremely excited, and the offensive became more violent. Many Shu soldiers bravely climbed the city wall, trying to pass this Way to conquer this city.

Sima Wang had full confidence in repelling the attack of the Shu army in the north of the city, but at this moment, everything became meaningless. A city is a whole. No matter in which direction there is a problem, the defense of the city will be announced. It failed, and now the south of the city has been breached by the Shu army. Even if Sima Wang fought vigorously in the north of the city, he would not be able to recover from the defeat. Now the Shu army is continuously entering Chang'an City. Except for the north gate of Chang'an City, most of the other areas will fall.

"Where is Hu Shi?" Sima Wang asked in a deep voice.

"General Hu knows that the general situation is over, and has retreated to Changle Palace." The scout soldier replied.

Sima Wang couldn't help but nodded secretly. Hu Shi's handling was very appropriate. After the southern city wall was breached, it was meaningless to defend the southern city. Changle Palace is the largest palace in Chang'an City, with a towering and independent palace wall Therefore, it is very wise for Hu Shi to choose to retreat to Changle Palace.The only plan for now is to retreat to Changle and rely on the walls of Changle Palace to resist temporarily. As for how to deal with it next, Sima Wang is in a state of confusion at this moment and has no idea what to do for a while.

"Pass down the order to retreat to Changle Palace!" Sima Wang ordered the officer in the army.

The military officer looked at the Shu soldiers who were like ants and locusts below the city, hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, is the Luocheng gate not guarding? If you retreat now, the Luocheng gate will be lost."

Sima Wang took a deep breath, with a determined look in his eyes, and said: "Beicheng can't take care of it anymore. Now that most of Chang'an has fallen, the only way to stay safe is to retreat to Changle Palace."

The Chinese army bowed their hands and promised, and immediately went down to deliver the order.

Wei Jun quickly withdrew from the north city wall and retreated in the direction of Yongle Palace.

At that time, it was nearly sunset, and the entire sky was reflected by the setting sun into a blood-red color. At this moment, Chang'an City was bathed in the baptism of blood and fire. There were fighting and melee everywhere. The entire Chang'an Street In the alley, corpses were lying in disorder.

The common people in Chang'an were so frightened that they were so frightened that they all closed their doors and hid in their homes, not even daring to breathe.Occasionally, there is a bold one who only dares to stand in the crack of the door and peek out.

With the fall of the Luocheng Gate in the northern city, [-] Shu troops joined the street fighting team. Almost all of the Shu troops were invested in Chang'an City. The Wei army, which had lost its advantage in city defense, was clearly at a disadvantage at the moment. The terrain is well known, but relying on this alone is still far from enough. The defeat of the Wei army is already irreversible.

Sima Wang almost took the road and rushed towards Changle Palace. Although he encountered several Shu troops on the road, but fortunately the scale was not large. Sima Wang led 1 horses to kill the Shu soldiers who blocked the road. Even though they were scattered, they didn't dare to fight, rushed out a bloody road, and rushed to the Changle Palace before the night fell.

At this time, Hu Shi was leading an army to guard the palace wall of Changle Palace, and was shooting at the Shu army who came to attack. Chang'an City was really too big. Occupation, resistance is still going on everywhere, and occasionally fireworks can be seen rising.

Changle Palace was only besieged by a part of the Shu army, but before the main force of the Shu army arrived, Sima Wang led his troops to quickly break through the siege of these Shu troops, and went straight to the palace wall of Changle Palace.

When Hu Shi saw Sima Wang leading the troops to kill him, he couldn't help being shocked, and ordered Wei soldiers to open the palace gate to welcome Sima Wang inside.

Sima Wang rode his horse into the palace and met Hu Shi. Hu Shi reported what happened in the south of the city. Although Hu Shi said that he experienced it himself, he couldn't figure out what happened under the city wall that would lead to the collapse of the south city wall.

In fact, there is not much difference between what Hu Shi described and what Sima Wang learned, but what Sima Wang heard, he couldn't help sighing and feeling deeply.

As night fell gradually, the fighting in Chang'an City gradually subsided, and the Shu army was already cleaning up the battlefield.Streets and alleys are different from field battles. It is very difficult to clean up. After many Wei soldiers are defeated, they will choose to take off their military uniforms and change into civilian clothes in an attempt to escape.The Shu army searched door to door to catch these fish that slipped through the net.

Liu Yin had already entered the city. When he received the news that Sima Wang Hu Shi and others were guarding the Changle Palace, he immediately ordered all the troops to gather at the Changle Palace and besieged the Changle Palace. Flocked to Changle Palace.
