When Chengdu is facing a huge crisis, Mianzhu City is also launching an offensive and defensive battle.
However, compared to the precarious situation in Chengdu, Mianzhu is as stable as Mount Tai.
Since the troops attacking Mianzhu were reduced by half overnight, the pressure on Cao's army in the city was greatly reduced. Gao Shun's trap camp and Zhao Yun's charge camp gathered together to defend the city. Zhang Ren led his army to attack for a long time, but no one was able to attack.
One person can attack the city.
The 4,000 soldiers led by Zhang Ren have lost 600 to 700 people since the beginning of the siege. All they got in exchange was to leave some traces of swords and spears on the city wall. There has never been a single siege soldier.
You can leave your own footprints on the top of Mianzhu City.
Zhang Ren's face was serious, and the hand holding the spear was held so tightly that his nails pierced the skin near the tiger's mouth.
"Withdraw troops!" After some time, when Zhang Ren's troops were reduced to less than 3,000 men, he finally gave the order to withdraw.
If you continue to fight like this, your losses will become greater and greater, and the only outcome you will face is that all three thousand of your men will be killed or injured. Mianzhu City is still under the control of Cao Jun and his own side will be completely destroyed. That is Zhang Renjue's fate.
Unacceptable results.
"Huh, it's finally over." Seeing Zhang Ren leading his army to retreat, Gao Shun let out a long sigh.
Zhang Ren withdrew his troops this time, and there was no longer a threat of Mianzhu City changing hands.
At this time, Zhang Ren had very few troops left, less than 3,000 in total, while the combined strength of the trapped camp and the charging camp was almost 2,000. These two thousand soldiers were all elites of Cao's camp. If compared with Zhang Ren's
If three thousand people fight face to face, there is a ninety-nine percent chance of winning.
Gao Shun looked at the scene of Zhang Ren's troops retreating in an orderly manner, and wondered whether he should simply let Cao's army leave the city and devour Zhang Ren's three thousand men in one go.
Being suppressed and beaten by the Yizhou Army yesterday made Gao Shun a little angry. Anyway, it was a sure win to go out to attack Zhang Ren at this time, so why not do it?
Just when Gao Shun was aroused by his idea, someone suddenly came to report that Chengdu was attacked by Jiangdong's army and the city gate had been breached.
Although Gao Shun stationed troops in Mianzhu, he also sent out scouting horses to pay attention to the movements in Chengdu City.
When Gao Shun heard the news, he was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Sun Jian would take advantage of the entanglement between Cao Jun and Yizhou Army to send troops to raid and attack the city of Chengdu in one go!
After calming down, Gao Shun gave up the idea of attacking Zhang Ren on the spot. The most important thing now is Chengdu! No matter whether Liu Zhang defends Chengdu or Jiangdong's army captures Chengdu, it is not the best for Gao Shun.
ending.
The snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fisherman benefited. Taking Chengdu in chaos may produce unexpected results.
"All the troops, leave Mianzhu and attack Chengdu!" Gao Shun quickly issued a military order. Now that the city gate of Chengdu has just been breached, it may not be possible for Jiangdong's army to take control of the situation immediately. In any case, what Gao Shun has to do now
The thing is to lead Cao's army towards Chengdu. If the city of Chengdu has not completely fallen into the hands of Jiangdong's army, he will take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack. If the city of Chengdu has been firmly controlled by Jiangdong's army, he will make other plans.
In order not to attract Zhang Ren's attention, Cao Jun, led by Gao Shun, quietly left from the south gate of Mianzhu.
Gao Shun no longer allowed the original Mianzhu soldiers to stay in the city this time, but asked them to be at the forefront of the army as the vanguard. Although it is cruel to use the soldiers as cannon fodder, it is better than sacrificing their own brothers. Now Chengdu
When the city was attacked by Jiangdong Army, Gao Shun did not have to worry that these Yizhou sergeants would defect to Jiangdong Army. By the time the situation was roughly settled, most of these vanguard troops would probably be dead.
Of course, Gao Shun also left a hundred Cao soldiers on the city to show off. Although Zhang Ren was not expected to attack the city again today, once he saw that there was no one on the city, he would immediately realize that something was wrong.
———————————————————————————————— All soldiers of the Jiangdong Army have rushed into Chengdu City, and as the commander-in-chief, Lu Meng, this time
A confident smile appeared on his face. The battle was going extremely smoothly. It was estimated that in half an hour, the entire city of Chengdu would be completely occupied by Jiangdong's army.
Although Jiangdong's army suffered a lot of losses from the siege to the present, with only about 6,000 men left, Lu Meng was certain that there were definitely less than 1,000 defenders left in Chengdu.
Compared with Lu Meng's relaxed expression, Yan Yan in Chengdu had a heavy heart, almost desperate.
They fought and retreated from the city gate, and now they have almost retreated to the Prefecture Mufu. The defenders in the city have almost been killed and wounded, and only the last thousand people are still resisting.
However, the last thousand people were probably wiped out in the blink of an eye. Jiangdong's army had all entered Chengdu City. With a strength of six to one, the advantage they had in a flat ground battle was indescribable, not to mention Jiangdong's army.
The combat effectiveness of the army is inherently better than that of the Yizhou Army.
Yan Yan was despairing, but no longer had any hope. Behind him was the Prefecture Mufu, and he had reached the point of no return. Now all Yan Yan could hope for was that the last thousand people would be wiped out.
After that, he could die on the battlefield together with these Yizhou heroes.
