The last three kingdoms

Chapter 925 Returning to Ye City
"Your Highness, the defenders of Xindu are at the end of their strength. If we continue to attack Xindu for a few more days, we will definitely be able to take Xindu down. If we withdraw our troops at this time, we will lose all previous efforts." Wen Yang did not agree to withdraw the siege of Xindu. , The Jin army has already paid a considerable price. Once the siege is withdrawn, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Sima Jun snorted coldly, and said: "Do you think this king is willing, but Yecheng is more important than a letter, if the Shu people attack Yecheng by surprise, we will have no way out, how can we do it?" Abandoning it and ignoring it, isn't it clear at a glance which is more important?"

To be honest, Sima Jun still held hatred towards Wenyang. After all, his elder brother Sima Shi died because of Wenyang. To face it calmly, so this time Sima Jun was appointed as the governor of the rebellion. He really found Wen Yang under his command to be displeasing to the eye, and his words were always cold and indifferent.

Wen Yang doesn't know what Sima Jun is thinking, but what he has received the most in Luoyang these years is cold eyes, and he has long been accustomed to it. This time he was appointed and valued, Wen Yang still cherishes this opportunity very much, and he will go to the battle every time he fights. In his opinion, as long as he works hard, he still has a chance to be reused.

"Your Highness, the general thinks that Liu Yin is only using a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao this time. His real intention is to undo the siege of Xindu. If our army withdraws to Yecheng, wouldn't it be the right plan?" The action is anticlimactic, Wen Yang still insists on his own ideas.

Sima Jun said coldly: "General Wen, this king has also read the art of war and knows what it means to encircle Wei and save Zhao. You don't need to teach this at all. Although it is a trick, if we ignore it, Liu Yin may not be true." If you want to attack Yecheng, once Yecheng falls, it will really be a fake."

Wen Yang said: "The city of Yecheng is well-defended, far from being comparable to ordinary cities. What's more, there are still [-] defenders in Yecheng, and the Shu army marched lightly. There are no large-scale siege equipment. It is not easy to take Yecheng. , as long as the defenders of Yecheng can persist for three to five days, after our army breaks through Xindu, we can march westward, cut off the return route of the Shu army, and make them unable to look at each other from head to tail, and Jizhou can be pacified in one battle."

Sima Jun sneered and said: "General Wen doesn't know the power of the Shu army's firearms. Chang'an City was so strong back then, and the walls collapsed at the flick of a finger. Can Yecheng stop the Shu army's firearms? If Yecheng falls, the consequences will be disastrous! "

Sima Jun has personal experience with the firearms of the Shu army, and the earth-shattering power makes Sima Jun still have lingering fears, so Sima Jun has no doubt that once the Shu army uses firearms, the fall of Yecheng will only happen in an instant .To keep Yecheng, it is simply unrealistic to count on the more than 1 defenders. Sima Jun must lead a large army back to help, and obtain an overwhelming majority in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, so as to ensure the safety of Yecheng.

On the contrary, the Shu army in Shouxin Capital has only more than 1 people, but it can withstand the enemy's more than [-] Jin army. Why is the gap so big for the same army?
Wen Yang has only heard about the power of firearms, but has never seen it with his own eyes. Hearing is delusion, seeing is believing. Sima Jun has seen it with his own eyes, so he naturally knows the power of it. The importance of Yecheng is self-evident, no matter what There is no room for loss, so Sima Jun did not adopt Wen Yang's suggestion, and withdrew [-] troops from the front line of Xindu, led them personally, and returned to aid Yecheng.

Leaving Wenyang to continue to besiege Xindu, only half of the army was left. The sharp drop in numbers made the momentum of the Jin army much weaker, and the offensive was naturally not as good as before. The Shu army, which was almost at the end of its strength, also won some respite. This opportunity made it impossible for Wenyang to win Xinducheng, which Wenyang had hoped to win within a few days.

Wenyang is also particularly helpless at this point. Originally in his plan, as long as he took down Xindu in one go and annihilated the Yang'an army of the Shu army, he would definitely deal a heavy blow to the Shu army. It would be better to cut off his ten fingers. One point, no matter whether the Shu army besieges Wei and saves Zhao, it doesn't matter whether it is going east or west, as long as one army of the Shu army can be wiped out, it is a decisive victory. Now the Jin army has an advantage in the number of troops. Turn advantage into victory.

But Sima Jun, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, naturally has the highest decision-making power. It is understandable for him to fear that Yecheng will lose, but it seems that the real gain outweighs the loss by missing the opportunity to wipe out an army of the Shu army.

But the matter has come to this point, and Wen Yang is irreparable, but he still did not give up, and continued to lead the army to attack Xindu City, hoping that with his last efforts, he could win Xindu City and not give up all his previous efforts.

However, the Jin army only left half of its troops, and the attack power naturally dropped a lot. Zhao Zhuo could clearly feel the Jin army's weak attack in Xindu City. Obviously, something must have happened to the Jin army. This will lead to such a situation, but this is undoubtedly good news for the Shu army defending the city. It was already very difficult for the Shu army, but at the moment the Jin army's offensive is weak, which has created an opportunity for the Shu army. Zhao Zhuo encouraged the soldiers to fight to the death, persistence means victory.

Under the defense of the Shu Army's Zhongzhi City, the Jin Army's attack was blocked again. The city wall, which looked dilapidated until now, was as solid as a rock. Wen Yang couldn't help sighing, fighting the Shu Army, It is difficult to go to the blue sky.

After Sima Jun returned to aid Yecheng, the plan of the Shu army to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao was successful. After Luo Xian arrived in Xiangguo, he received Liu Yin's order to stop marching towards Yecheng, and turned eastward, bypassing Dalu Ze , launched an attack on Nangongcheng, the frontline stronghold of the Jin army.

The other two groups of troops, one led by Fu Qian, crossed the Zhanghe River from Hejian County and pointed directly at Wuyi, and the other was led by Liu Yin, and pointed directly at Fucheng and Fuliu from Xiaquyang. The momentum is like a rainbow, and they all come to Xindu.

After hearing the news, Wenyang's face changed drastically. Obviously, this is the real intention of the Shu army. The purpose is to break the siege of Xindu. Now the Jin army has been hit by Liu Yin's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and half of the troops return to Ye There are only more than 7 people in the city and Xindu area. Compared with the Shu army that fought with all their strength, the advantage in strength has disappeared.

What's more difficult is that the Jin army is now in a state of besieging Xindu. Before taking Xindu, the Jin army had no city to rely on, almost no danger to defend, and its troops were relatively scattered. , The three-way siege is naturally stretched.Wen Yang was deeply in crisis.
