The last three kingdoms

Chapter 468 Taking the West City Lightly
Because there has been no war for too long, Wei State has always been very lax in defense against the three east counties, and even the defense strength of the three east counties is comparable to some counties in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. You must know that Yuzhou and Yanzhou are the core areas ruled by Cao Wei, and The three eastern counties are border crossings.

The history of wars in the three eastern counties can be traced back to 40 years ago. If Sima Yi rushed to 1000 miles in eight days, he would capture Mengda Yu Shangyong in one fell swoop. The downright Meng Da was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Since then, the three eastern counties have spent more than [-] years without incident. The long period of peace gave people an illusion, even numbness. No one believed that the Shu army would launch an attack from here.

Compared with the continuous growth of troops in the Guanlong area, the garrisons of the three eastern counties have been repeatedly reduced. In fact, this is a very normal thing. Naturally, the Wei court cannot maintain a considerable number of standing troops in areas where there is no war. Therefore, they would rather throw their troops into the Guanzhong and Longyou areas than waste money and food in the three eastern counties.

The weak defensive force made Xicheng unable to resist the sudden attack of the Shu army, not to mention that Liu Yin adopted a sneak attack. When the Wei army guarding the city found out that the Shu army was attacking, they wanted to close the city gate again. It was already too late.

Fu Mo led the Hubu Youying Battalion to carry out a sneak attack on Xicheng. Before approaching Xicheng, the Shu army was completely in a state of silence. The city gate was wide open, and a group of Wei soldiers guarding the city were lazily basking in the sun. The spring sun was warm and mild, neither cold nor hot. Bathed in the sun, these soldiers drowsy.

Weixing County is the westernmost county of the Three Eastern Counties, and it is connected to Hanzhong County, but there is no tense atmosphere in the frontier county here. Except for the group of soldiers guarding the city gate, there is not a single soldier on the city wall. Shadow, it is estimated that the defenders in the city are either staying in the barracks or on vacation. The constant readiness that border soldiers should have is simply not seen here.

Although Xicheng is a county town, it is not as large and small as a county town in the Central Plains. From the few passers-by at the gate of the city, it can be seen how remote it is.

Fu Zhao first led a team to the west city to conduct reconnaissance. It was originally the job of the scout soldiers, but Fu Zhao came here himself so that he could grasp the first-hand information.

Quietly approaching to a place only five or six hundred steps away from the city gate, the dense forest provided good protection for Fu Mo and his party, so that the soldiers guarding the city could not find the abnormality here at all.Seeing the situation at the gate of the city, even Fu Zhao couldn't help being a little dazed. The Wei army guarding the city was completely unprepared. Walk.

Fu Zhao ordered people to go back to inform the brigade to come, and at the same time led the team of five or sixty people to rush out.

Wei Bing, who was guarding the city, finally became a little sober. From the gate of the city to the woods, there was at least five or six hundred paces of open land without any obstructions. Let Wei Jun be alert.

"There is an enemy attack! Close the city gate!" A small leader of the Wei army guarding the city gate discovered the Shu army and shouted in panic. Suddenly those sleepy Wei soldiers woke up like a dream, realizing that the catastrophe had already passed. At the end of the day, he hurriedly ran into the city, trying to close the city gate.

But how could Fu Zhao give them this opportunity? Before the people arrived, the arrows arrived first. The shot pierced the throat, and several of the remaining Wei soldiers were also hit by arrows and fell to the side of the road.

Seeing that the remaining Wei soldiers had fled back to the city gate and were pushing hard on the heavy city gate, of course Fu Mo couldn't let them succeed. Picking up the Bailian knife in his hand, he chopped it down directly, cutting off the five fingers of a Wei soldier who had picked up on the city gate.

With five fingers connected to his heart, the Wei soldier was in unbearable pain and screamed loudly. Fu Mou stepped forward, slashed his throat with a knife, and sent him to Huangquan Road.

Wei Bing, who was still trying to close the city gate, was terrified when he saw that Fu Zhao was so brave, and he couldn't care less about closing the city gate anymore, so he turned around and fled.

Naturally, Fu Mu didn't go after him. His purpose was to control the gate of the west city first, so as to create conditions for the follow-up army to rush into the city.

The chaos at the gate of the city quickly spread to the inside of the city. Wei Xing prefect Shen Quan was just about to leave the city at this moment. When he was walking to Ximen Street, he saw the soldiers guarding the city gate fleeing in a hurry. Shen Quan shouted and asked: "What happened?"

"Report to the prefect, the Shu army... The Shu army has entered the city!" The soldiers reported in a panic.

Shen Quan was startled, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. However, Wei Xing prefect was used to Shen Quan for many years. He was obviously inexperienced in dealing with emergencies and was at a loss. He hurriedly ordered Wei Xing in the city The soldiers counterattacked and tried to take back the west gate.

However, the Weixing County soldiers who lacked combat experience had long been dizzy. At this moment, they couldn't even find the north, let alone snatch back the west gate. Only a few sporadic troops began to gather in the direction of the west gate, trying to fight back.

Although Fu Mo didn't have many people, but he was one of ten elite soldiers. Wei Jun's weak counterattack did not pose any threat to them. Come.

The arrival of the Hubu Youying camp was like a flood, and it poured into the city of Xicheng in an instant, like a broken bamboo. In just a moment, the entire Xicheng was already under the control of Hubu Youying.

The Wei army guarding the city had already lost the will to resist. Facing the wolves and tigers of the Shu army, few were stubborn. Most of the soldiers chose to surrender, including Wei Xing, the governor of Shenquan.

This was almost the most suspenseful battle, and the Shu army took Weixing County almost effortlessly.Shen Quan, who was a prisoner, was somewhat frustrated and helpless, and was escorted by Fu Mo to Liu Yin's camp stationed in Anqiao.

Shen Quan was relieved when he saw that the Shu army's camp was dense and well-organized. With the 800 people in Xicheng, it would be a daydream to stop this tiger and wolf army.
