Chapter 436: The government and the opposition are shaken
Under the city of Jinyang.
At this moment, the flames of war are raging, and there are countless corpses lying horizontally and vertically, which can be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and blood can be seen everywhere.
The Han army outside the city was still attacking the city defenses of Jinyang in groups.
Swordsmen and shieldmen, crossbowmen, and those who control the chariots and wells are slowly moving towards the city gates.
With the fierce attack of the Han army, the situation in Jinyang was trapped, and the situation became more and more critical!
"Newspaper. General Qiyu, the outer defense line of our army in Jinyang has been completely lost. ”
"Newspaper. General, the offensive of the Shu army outside the city is like a tide, and it is difficult for our army to resist. ”
For a time, the Wei general Xiahoudun was dressed in a fiery red drape, fully armed with a sword, standing at the head of Jinyang City, looking down on the battle situation, commanding and resisting the attack of the Han army.
But the continuous bad news came like snowflakes, making the already unfavorable situation even worse!
Because after the general Xiahoudun led the crowd to the front line of Bingzhou, in order to cooperate with the main force of Yongzhou on the western front to design the total annihilation of the Shu army, all the departments under his command have been sent south to contain each other's Wei Yan's troops, and now Wei Yan is suddenly a dangerous recruit to drive straight into Jinyang.
This strategy was not expected by anyone in the Wei Kingdom!
Xiahoudun didn't expect it, and naturally he didn't have time to shrink the defense line, causing Wei Yanchang to drive straight in, and easily pulled out the defense line of the stronghold other than Jinyang, and approached the city.
And there are only thousands of military horses in the city, and Jinyang is a big city, Wei Yan sent all the troops to attack at the same time in the south and west of the city, and the situation that the Wei army was overstretched suddenly appeared.
At this moment, the Wei army could not even improve the defense of five steps, and even there were serious gaps in many city walls, how could the defense system with so many flaws withstand the wolf-like Han soldiers?
However, in just a few hours, when the rest of the Wei army was rushing to Jinyang, the outer defense line of Jinyang had gradually collapsed.
More than 10,000 people of the Han army were struggling to attack the last human wall defense line formed by the Wei army, and the two sides were fighting hand-to-hand with knives, and the battle was extremely tragic.
Full of blood sprinkled in all directions, layers of corpses piled up.
Even the sergeants on both sides were killed in almost every minute and every second.
Seeing that his own troops were seriously insufficient, and hand-to-hand combat had continued to fall into the upper hand, Xiahou raised his eyebrows, his face showed a solemn expression, and he shouted without hesitation: "The armies slowly retreated, retreated into the city and fought street battles with the damned Shu thieves. ”
An order was issued, and the heralds immediately rushed over to convey the military orders to the generals of the various ministries.
After receiving the military order, the various units of the Wei army began to fight and retreat, and gradually converged in the city.
With the retreat of the Wei army, the various units of the Han army also pressed forward step by step, taking the opportunity to occupy the Jinyang city defense, and planted the banner of "Han" on the head of the city, and raised the prestige of the Quartet.
Outside the city.
In the middle of the army formation, the main general Wei Yan held his knife and stared at the retreating movement of the Wei army, his face couldn't help but be serious, and he muttered: "The Wei army has begun to converge towards the center of the city, it seems that Xiahoudun is ready to shrink his army and organize street battles to delay time, and he is still fighting for reinforcements from various departments." ”
As soon as these words fell, he also looked anxious.
Wei Yan knew very well that if he did not completely eliminate the remnants of Jinyang before the reinforcements of the Wei army arrived, he would inevitably be surrounded by the enemy and forced to fight him in the wilderness.
He planned to attack Jinyang by surprise, which was a risk......
Thinking of these things in a row, Wei Yan suddenly ordered sharply: "After ordering Dong Ba to attack the city, quickly control the arsenal and granary, and do not delay for a second." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Yan gave an order eagerly, and the herald immediately rushed into the herald.
"Newspaper. General Qiyu found a large number of stubborn Wei soldiers on the Yangqu line north of Jinyang, and looked at the banner to lead the troops stationed in Yanmen County, the border pass. ”
"Yangqu?"
Hearing this, Wei Yan's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "How did it come so quickly?" ”
Yangqu is located in the north of Jinyang, it is the city of the foot of the remaining veins in the south of Taihang Mountain, and it is the defense line of the north of Jinyang, and this place is only dozens of miles away from Jinyang.
If the Wei army came like a gallop, I am afraid that it would only take an hour to rush here.
At this moment, Wei Yan's concept of time became clearer and clearer, but at the same time, his heart suddenly became manic.
He felt that if he received the news of his own attack on Jinyang, it would be at least a day or two later, and by that time, the overall situation would have already been decided when he heard the news.
But he didn't expect that the trick would come so quickly!
In fact, it was Wei Yan who underestimated himself too much, and he didn't expect that after Cao Zhen learned the news of his surprise attack on Jinyang, the goal of the plan was to directly take Jinyang and kill him.
And Cao Zhen also sent people to lead the way to Jinyang as soon as possible.
After a while, the sentry cavalry reported again: "There is a Wei army in the direction of Taihang Mountain south of Jinyang, which is the headquarters of Hao Zhao, who is stationed in the party. ”
In addition, Zhu Ling, Sun Li and Xiahou Nan all followed.
One by one, the military reports swept in, and the Han army was suddenly out of breath.
"Soldiers, now the Wei army has surrounded our army on all sides, and life and death are in this battle!"
"If our army can seize Jinyang before the Wei army reinforces the army, we can rely on the advantage of the fortified city to deal with the Wei people and wait for Your Majesty's main reinforcements."
"If we can't take it, then our army will be forced to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army, which is several times its size, in the wilderness, and it will be in danger of overturning at any time."
With an earth-shattering shout, Wei Yan encouraged the morale of the army and shouted angrily: "The soldiers and the generals will personally rush into the city to clear the remnants of the enemy." ”
"Fight to save your life."
"Fight to defend the power of the Great Han."
"Tremble, tremble."
Under the encouragement of the seats, the morale and fighting spirit of the Han soldiers suddenly increased greatly, and a strong oppressive aura inexplicably rose around them, as if it was a suffocating breath.
This is a murderous aura, a thirst for killing and an invincible aura emanating from the bodies of many Han soldiers.
As Wei Yan threw in all the guards under his command and stormed the city, he made a final desperate fight.
The street fighting began instantly.
The battle situation was several times more tragic than when it was attacked before.
The two armies fought in small squads, but whenever they met in the alleys, a brutal battle ensued.
Bows, short-bladed ...... This seems to have become a weapon of lethality in street fighting.
And right on the periphery.
At this moment, the recruitment department that had already crossed Yangqu was galloping towards Jinyang with all its might, and the sentry cavalry was scattered around Jinyang, always paying attention to the situation, and now it was the unfavorable military situation that Jinyang was holding onto.
Therefore, although he led his troops across Yangqu, which was only a stone's throw away from Jinyang, he still did not order the whole army to rest and recuperate to replenish his physical strength, and he was also in a hurry to travel at the same time.
He had to rush here before his Jinyang fell, otherwise he would lose the overall situation.
During the march, he whipped his horse and encouraged him sharply: "Soldiers, continue to gallop forward, as long as we protect Jinyang this time, I will promise to personally enter Beijing to meet Your Majesty, and ask for credit for you." ”
"The general is mighty!"
Suddenly, bursts of roars erupted in the military formation, making the land within a radius of several miles seem to be filled with echoes that reverberate from the heart.
For the protection of Jinyang, in fact, I hope that Xiahoudun can survive this time!
If Jinyang is lost this time, Xiahoudun is beheaded or captured, which will cause an extremely unfavorable situation.
Just think about it, the generals who are the No. 1 person in the Great Wei military have all died on the battlefield, isn't that a great blow to the morale and cohesion of the soldiers across the country?
The people of the world will once again feel that the Shu army will have the potential to win the world, and the Wei state is just a dynasty that has run out of energy.
It is precisely with these things in mind that the heart of the lead is so eager at this moment, and the horse leads the crowd to gallop forward.
He knew that the current Great Wei could no longer withstand the slightest twists and turns, and now the Han Emperor Liu Bei's Northern Expedition had captured the counties of Longyou and cut off his connection with Liangzhou.
If it cannot be recaptured in the future, Yongzhou will suffer an extremely serious threat.
……
An hour later.
A panting and exhausted Wei army soldiers were standing under Jinyang City in formation, quietly observing the movements in the city, and the army was silent for a while, extremely silent.
For a while, the atmosphere reached its lowest point.
Groaning for a while, he stood on the war horse with a whip, his eyes stared at the high and mighty "Han" banner on the city, his face was sometimes in a trance, sometimes low, and he muttered: "Is it a step too late after all?" ”
Half an hour earlier, the sentinel had reported that the general Xiahoudun had been broken through in the street fighting, and he himself had lost Jinyang and did not want to be captured by the Han army and humiliated by it, so he set himself on fire to death.
Jinyang has fallen!
A few days later, this military situation spread all over the Wei capital, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
