The last three kingdoms

Chapter 669 Helpless Yang Hu

Walking closer, Liu Yin clenched his fist and punched Zhang Le's thick chest heavily, and said with a smile, "I usually see you acting like a fool, but this time it's really good, you played very well!"

Zhang Le grinned and said, "Of course, if you lose this battle, you won't be ashamed of your brother. Hey, brother, brothers have worked so hard, this time we have to be promoted Well, how can you be a general in the army, right?"

"I can't do without you," Liu Yin said with a chuckle, "I sharpened my head one day thinking about getting promoted and getting rich, are you tired?"

Zhang Le said disapprovingly: "If a person doesn't have any pursuits, then what's the difference between him and a salted fish, not to mention that even a salted fish, it will turn over sometimes."

"You're poor, go to sleep, your eye circles are almost like giant pandas." Liu Yin patted him on the shoulder, persuading him to go to rest.

Zhang Le did fight hard enough, he didn't close his eyes for several nights, so he handed over his hands and retired, and went to sleep in a place.

Yang Hu also had deep dark circles under his eyes. Since the start of the war, Yang Hu had slept less than two hours a day. For most of the rest of the time, he insisted on staying on the front line to personally supervise the battle.

The continuous attacks made the Jin army quite tired, but Yang Hu knew that the Shu army was even more tired than them. This was a desperate contest and the ultimate test of the willpower of both sides. On this stage of wrestling, relying on Blood and will, although it is extremely difficult now, as long as you grit your teeth and persevere, you may win the final victory.

Judging from the battle situation, Yang Hu judged that the Shu army was at the end of its battle, and now it was short of the final blow. Yang Hu decided to mobilize all the reserve teams to give Fu Qian a final blow.

But soon Yang Hu discovered that the defense of the Shu army suddenly became much stronger. The crossbow arrows fired were all powerful, and their strength and density had increased significantly compared with before. This time the Jin army's strong attack was quickly defeated. Return.

Yang Hu was shocked. It stands to reason that the defensive capabilities of the defenders are constantly weakening. Why did they suddenly increase, and it was not a normal increase? The increase almost doubled. This abnormal phenomenon made Yang Hu feel suddenly Shen, could it be that reinforcements from the Shu army have arrived?
But Yang Hu is very skeptical about this idea. The reserve team of the Shu army in Chang'an has long been empty. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sit back and watch the emergency situation in Tongguan without coming to rescue. The only possibility is that Liu Yin, who is in Liangzhou, returned to aid Tongguan. .But this is obviously impossible, Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from Tongguan, in such a short period of time, Liu Yin will not be able to fly back even if he has two wings.

Just when Yang Hu was thinking wildly, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes on the Tongguan city wall a stone's throw away, and Yang Hu couldn't help being startled. It was Wen Chuan, the nephew and son-in-law who escaped in Luoyang City that day. what?No, later Yang Hu also found out that Wen Chuan's real identity was Liu Yin.

When he heard the news, Yang Hu had mixed feelings in his heart. He let go, but he was the most wanted criminal in Jin State and the most threatening enemy of Jin State. He knew Liu Yin's true identity, so he might not be able to calm down.

Liu Yin saw it clearly from the top of the city, and said loudly: "General Yang, are you here all right?"

The facts couldn't be more clear, Liu Yin had already returned from Liangzhou, regardless of how Liu Yin did it, but the arrival of reinforcements made Yang Hu fall short, and all his offensive plans were in vain.Only one Fu Qian made Yanghu's plan to conquer Tongguan postponed again and again. Now that the Shu army has arrived in large numbers, the hope of winning Tongguan is almost zero.

Yang Hu sighed softly, waved his hand dejectedly, signaled the Jin army to stop attacking, retreated eastward to the east of Jinshui to set up camp, and prepared to defend against the Shu army's counterattack.

Zhang Shang said unwillingly: "Captain, do we just give up like this?"

Yang Hu sighed, "It's God's will, what's wrong with it?"

"But we still have at least [-] to [-] capable fighters. Is it really impossible to defeat a small Tongguan?" Zhang Shang asked.

Yang Hu shook his head and said: "Liu Yin's return of aid from thousands of miles away must bring elite teachers. A single Fu Qian has blocked us for more than ten days, and we have not made any progress. Now that more reinforcements are added, the morale of the Shu people is high. , Tongguan is already indestructible."

All the generals of the Jin army sighed, seeing that Tongguan was already within reach, but they never expected that the Shu army would rush back from Liangzhou thousands of miles away, and the last hope of breaking the city was wiped out. The army paid a huge price of casualties but got nothing, which makes people feel melancholy.

It is a helpless move to retreat to the east of the forbidden water. Tongguan is not only a defensive pass in Guanzhong, but also a strategic bridgehead for Qinchuan to the east. If the Jin army cannot take Tongguan, it means that the capital Luoyang is under constant threat from the Shu army. , Hangu is a valley road, about one or two hundred miles long. The east end is the famous Hangu Pass, and the west pass is the current Tongguan. However, after Tongguan was used as a pass on the Hangu Road, Hangu Pass was abandoned. , that is to say, if you go east from Tongguan all the way to the city of Luoyang, there is almost no danger.

Therefore, after knowing that Tongguan could not be conquered, Yang Hu did not immediately return to Luoyang, but set up camp in the east of Jinshui on the spot to deal with possible counterattacks by the Shu army.Now Yang Hu is still figuring out how many reinforcements Liu Yin has brought and whether they will pose a fatal threat to his army. Retreating as an advance is the most ideal strategy Yang Hu can adopt now.

And judging from the current situation, in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, the capital city, it is imperative to rebuild Hangu Pass. Now Hangu Pass has been abandoned for many years and is dilapidated. If you want to rebuild it, it will almost take a lot of effort. The price will not be too short, and the time required will not be too short. During this period, there must be troops in front of Hangu Pass to buy some time for rebuilding Hangu Pass.

This really made Yang Hu very helpless. The [-] troops came in a hurry, but they were trapped under the city of Tongguan. In the end, they had to withdraw their troops to ban Shuidong, which made Yang Hu, who had been counting on World War I to become famous, extremely depressed. This probably disappointed Sima Yan who was waiting for good news in the Luoyang Palace.

The development of the battle situation is so unexpected, Yang Hu is powerless at the moment, he can only pin his hopes on the troops of Wuguan and Pubanjin, and hope that they can make a breakthrough there.
