The last three kingdoms

Chapter 465 Don't Underestimate Du Yu

Qian Hong couldn't help being horrified. The reason why he moved the line of defense forward to Suoqiao Ridge was because the city walls of Wuguan had not yet been repaired. Hong only needs to hold on to Suoqiao Ridge for four or five days, and the Wuguan can be completed, and then lead Hong to retreat calmly and defend Wuguan closely. Even if Du Yu tried his best to break through the defense of Wuguan , is by no means easy.

But what Qianhong didn't expect was that Du Yu didn't play his cards according to common sense at all. While attacking Suoqiaoling, he sent another group of troops to attack Wuguan from the small road.Even Qianhong didn't understand how Du Yu found another way out of the mountains besides this pass.

Qianhong couldn't help crying secretly, Wuguan hadn't been repaired yet, and the defense ability was the weakest at this time, Du Yu sent troops to attack at this time, it was very difficult to defend Wuguan.And once Wuguan falls, the army stationed at Diaoling led by him will inevitably fall into the predicament of being attacked from both sides, and the situation is critical.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Suoqiao Ridge may no longer be able to hold on.After Qianhong ordered Nie Kai to cut off, the Shu army withdrew from Suoqiao Ridge as a whole and retreated towards Wuguan.

Fortunately, the road in Suoqiao Ridge is narrow, and it belongs to the kind of terrain where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. Nie Kai can seal the whole road with only 500 people. Behind the hall of soldiers, the formation of the archers behind the shield soldiers is mainly defensive, but they also have the power to counterattack during the defense. They retreat slowly to cover the retreat of the brigade.

Seeing that Qianhong retreated without a fight, Du Yu presumably succeeded in the surprise attack on Wuguan. He immediately chased after him and lost the dangerous Shu army in Suoqiaoling. Du Yu naturally ignored it.

However, the narrow roads caused great difficulties for the Wei army's pursuit. If it is a flat road or flat area, the advantage of the speed of the Wei army's cavalry can be fully reflected. The 3000 troops of the Shu army want to escape. No, Wei Jun Jinqi will make dumplings in a short time.

But on the difficult and difficult Wuguan Road, with steep cliffs on one side and deep valleys on the other, the advantages of the Wei army in terms of numbers and speed could not be reflected at all. They could only follow behind the Shu army obediently, step by step. .

The tortoise-like rear guard of the Shu army seems cumbersome and slow, but it is extremely efficient. The arrows shot by the Wei army's pursuit troops are useless under the dense shield defense, but the Wei soldiers who are rushing forward and chasing madly are not doing anything. Constantly being hit by cold arrows from the Shu army, the pace of Wei Bing's pursuit had to be delayed again and again.

Suoqiao Ridge is only more than ten miles away from Wuguan, and with Nie Kai's guards supporting it, Qianhong has no worries at all. He is concerned about the safety of Wuguan, so naturally he led the army and ran all the way, eager to rush back to Wuguan .

Turning around a mountain ridge, Wuguan is just around the corner.Most of the city walls of Wuguan have been repaired. From a distance, only a few places such as the Guanlou city gate have not been completed, and these gaps have become the focus of the Wei army's attack.

According to the principle of wooden barrels, it is not the longest plank but the shortest plank that determines how much water the barrel can hold. Similarly, the defense of a city is not determined by the strongest section of the city wall. It is determined by the weakest part of the city wall, and the unfinished Wuguan city gate became the breakthrough point of the Wei army.

Qianhong took 3000 people to guard Suoqiao Ridge, but Wuguan left a lot of people, a total of 7000 people, but in order to rush to repair the city wall, most of the [-] people put down their weapons, picked up picks, shovels, baskets, and picked soil. Carrying stones is the job of a carpenter.

The Wei army's surprise attack caused chaos to a certain extent to the Shu army. Although the Shu army was superior in numbers, it was as bare-handed at the moment. How could it withstand the Wei army's rapid offensive.

Wei Jun's attack also had a clear purpose. Shao Yuan had already set his sights on the two gaps in the Wuguan city wall, and concentrated his forces to launch a powerful attack on these two gaps, and succeeded quickly, and Wei Jun also attacked from this. In Wuguan City.

After a brief period of confusion, the Shu army reorganized under the command of Deng Zhong, the general of Longxi Camp Zhonglang, and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Wei army who had already entered Wuguan City.

After Qianhong rushed back to Wuguan, he found that Wuguan had already fallen. The Wei army who attacked the city had already broken through the city, and fought with the Shu army defending the city. Although they did not have an advantage in numbers, they attacked fiercely, suppressing Deng Zhong and others in the city, and they were in a precarious situation.

Without further ado, Qianhong immediately swung his army to join the battle group, and the Shu army rushed into Wuguan City together, and started a larger-scale melee with the Wei army.

The joining of Qianhong's army played a certain role in reversing the situation in Wuguan, basically suppressing the mad attack of the Wei army.

However, there were a lot of Wei soldiers pouring into Wuguan City. If you want to take back Wuguan, you must drive out these Wei soldiers. This is almost a goal that cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Qianhong was very worried, the discovery of the battle situation seemed to be very unfavorable to the Shu army, Du Yu's army might come at any time, if Wuguan could not be taken back quickly, the situation would become more serious when Du Yu's army arrived became severe.

Du Yu obviously came much faster than Qian Hong estimated, but when Du Yu's army arrived, the battle situation suddenly deteriorated. Countless Wei troops poured into Wuguan, and the fate of losing the defense was already doomed.

Qianhong had no choice but to lead the remnants of the defeated generals to escape from Wuguan and retreat towards Shangluo.

"Report, report to the general, Wuguan has fallen, and the escort army has withdrawn to Shang County!" The scout rushed to report.

When receiving the news of the fall of Wuguan, Liu Yin was discussing with the generals in Yang'an Pass. Hearing the news, all the generals were shocked.Wuguan is one of the three main points of defense in Guanzhong, and the loss of Wuguan will definitely lead to a sudden turn for the worse in Chang'an.

Liu Yin didn't expect that Wuguan would fall so quickly, he asked the details in a low voice, it turned out that when Qianhong arrived at Wuguan, the city of Guan was broken and dilapidated, and Wuguan had not been repaired After the completion, the Wei army's brigade had already attacked. Qianhong guarded Suoqiao Ridge and tried to keep the enemy out of Wuguan Road, but Wei Jun attacked Wuguan from a small road, causing Wuguan to fall.

"Who is the leader of the Wei army?"

"It's General Annan Du Yu."

All the generals talked a lot, and they seemed to despise Du Yu, who came from nepotism.

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate this Du Yu!"
