Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 442 Storming Tianshui

Liu Bei nodded, and just as he asked his servants to take Liu Chan down to sleep and rest, the messengers ran in to deliver the battle report from the Xinye front.

Liu Bei frowned after reading it for the first time, and handed the battle report to Zhuge Liang for review.

Zhuge Liang read it carefully, as if he had been prepared for a long time, but he didn't expect a small change in it.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although Xinye has lost its defense, Han Wu's current force is not enough to conquer Jingzhou in one fell swoop. The minister is also going to the front line. This time the Jin army is coming so fiercely that even General Guan can't single-handedly defeat Zhao Yun. , This matter still needs to be prepared. It’s just that the Jin army will send troops again so soon, why is their food and grass so abundant?” Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled. According to the art of war, Han Wu should not send troops so soon.And basically the Jin army dispatched troops in spring, which is even more inconsistent with the art of war.

Sending troops in spring will seriously affect the spring seeds in Guantun, and Zhuge Liang also found that Jingzhou, which was originally rich, could not withstand such expendable warfare.

"Well! This time the Jin army is coming fiercely. I asked the third brother and Wei Yan to listen to the prime minister's orders. Chen Dao is enough to guard Jingzhou, and Kong Ming will let him do it." Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang great trust, because he knew that he could not do without Zhuge Liang and him. Xu Shu's full help.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion! The minister and Da Sima will definitely retreat from the enemy and repel the Jin army." Zhuge Liang has already thought of a way, and he wants to join Cao Cao to join the Kangjin army.

Cao Cao established himself as King of Qin. Although such behavior is the same as Han Wu's disobedience to the great man, the current situation in the world has to be like this.The emperor of the Han Dynasty was assassinated, and only by becoming king can Cao Cao and the Jin army have the power to fight.

Exiting the palace, Zhuge Liang was going to go down to think about the strategy of retreating the enemy, and at the same time asked the soldiers to inquire about the Yongliang war.

It is absolutely impossible for Han Wu to send troops to deal with Jingzhou only. With his temperament, he must send troops with Yongliang Jingzhou and Hongnong.It is Han Wu's combat style to fight a war of attrition in all aspects and wear down the enemy faster.

"Ma Di, can you find out about Qin Jun's movements?" In his prime minister's mansion, Zhuge Liang asked Ma Di, wondering if he had gotten any news.

Ma Di bowed in his heart, and replied respectfully: "Teacher, the Jin army sent Wenpin to the west, as if to recover Tianshui County. Tianshui County is the foundation for the Qin army to attack Yongliang. Only by defeating Yongliang can the Qin army send troops to the Central Plains. Wen Pin is the general under Liu Biao's command, Xu Rong is the general guarding Yongliang of the Jin army, and Cao Ren is the guarding general of the Qin army in Tianshui."

"Cao Ren?" After hearing this name, Zhuge Liang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.But I can immediately understand that this is normal, after all, Tianshui is a lifeline behind the Qin army.

"Cao Ren used to be stationed in Shangyong and Baishui areas, but he was transferred to Yongliang Tianshui in the past two years. This man is the best guard under Cao Cao's command. It seems that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Tianshui!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, looking at Yongliang topographical map, constantly thinking.

"Even if Cao Ren is good at defending, he can't resist the army of Jin. Cao Cao must send soldiers to reinforce him. Tell me which son was sent out?" Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes. He wanted to know Cao Cao's attitude towards the crown prince.

Ma Su had inquired about this information long ago, and hurriedly reported: "Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian lead the army, and Cao Zhang and Cao Ziwen are the deputy."

Hearing that Cao Pi, who was the most able to fight for the next throne, was not sent to send troops, Zhuge Liang understood that Cao Cao didn't want his son Cao Pi to be too easy.

In the early morning of the next day, under the city of Tianshui County in Yongliang, Wenpin led his troops to rush for a few days and arrived here.After learning about Cao Ren's combat style from Xu Rong, Wen Pin first wanted to test this general who is good at supporting the "King Kong Iron Arm".

"Soldiers, charge! Siege the city!" Wen Pin raised his saber and ordered the elite soldiers to storm the city of Tianshui County. The ladders and chariots were ready.Moreover, this time Wenpin was besieging Tianshui from all sides, and Cao Ren was not given time to breathe.

"Brothers, kill!"

"Kill all these Xishu thieves!"

"Kill Cao Jun!"...

There are [-] elite soldiers under Wenpin's command, and these were the elite soldiers Liu Biao relied on most at the beginning.

Now Wenpin has gradually adapted to being an official in Jin, so he must show bravery and loyalty in combat.

Liu Ya and Fei Shi continued to smash down the soldiers who raided the city tower, but Wen Pin didn't feel sorry for him at all, but decided to compare the casualties with Cao Ren!
"General, if you fight like this, I'm afraid you will lose thousands of soldiers today! Our army is brave. Although it can suppress the enemy's momentum, the Qin army's casualties are probably less than five hundred." The deputy general clenched his teeth and persuaded Wenpin.

Wenpin snorted coldly, squinted his eyes, and said, "One more hour of strong attack! After an hour, the troops will be withdrawn, and the doctors accompanying the army at Jizhou College will treat the wounded immediately."

Without any intention of retreating, Wenpin wanted to test how good this Cao Ren was.

On Tianshui City, Cao Ren yelled angrily, and with one shot, the two Jin soldiers retreated from the tower.

The surrounding soldiers were all fighting in disorder, and there were soldiers from the state of Jin filling the towers, but they were cut down one by one.

"Brothers, don't be afraid! I am with you, let's drive the enemy army down!" Cao Ren shouted angrily, becoming more violent, just to boost morale.

Seeing how brave General Cao Ren was, all the soldiers rose excitedly and continued to kill the elite soldiers of Jin.

"General! The North City Gate is in an emergency. Please come to the North City Gate for support!" The deputy general guarding the North City came running to report the situation to Cao Ren.

Although Cao Ren's eyes were reddened, he remained awake and shouted, "I'm going to Beicheng now!"

After beheading five or six enemy generals around him, Cao Ren let go of his hair and galloped towards the North City, followed by only a dozen or so guards.

In Beicheng, Cao Ren once again devoted himself to the bloody battle as soon as he arrived, stimulating the morale of the soldiers!
Both Xicheng and Nancheng were in a hurry, and Cao Ren fought at the four city gates within an hour, and he was exhausted physically and mentally.

Wenpin squinted his eyes, feeling that the time was almost up, so he called for gold to withdraw.

The Jin army retreated, but no one in Tianshui City was happy, because they didn't know whether there would be such a vicious defense battle tomorrow.

In the afternoon, after the Qin army cleaned up the battlefield, the lieutenant bit the bullet and came to report the situation to Cao Ren.

"General, according to the statistics of the corpses, the Jin army lost more than 200 soldiers, and our army lost more than [-] people. More than [-] people were seriously injured, and more than [-] people were slightly injured." Ugly.

Originally defending the city, taking advantage of the favorable location, it turned out that the number of people lost was almost one to one.It stands to reason that the attacking side does not have four times the loss of the defenders, and it is impossible to conquer the city at all.Now the Jin army has reduced the loss to almost one to one, which is not a good thing.

Cao Ren narrowed his eyes, he had already been mentally prepared, as long as the number of casualties was less than that of the Jin army.

"I know! Pass down the order to block the four city gates with sandbags and defend Tianshui! The two young masters will arrive in two days, and then we can fight back!" Cao Ren smiled at the deputy general, letting He is at ease.

The lieutenant is at ease, the soldiers below will be able to stabilize the morale of the army, and defending the city will naturally be much easier.

As for when Cao Zhi will arrive, Cao Ren has no idea.
