Chapter Forty-Nine: The Harvest of Troops Falls Short

Turning around and looking back, they met Liu Chan's gaze, and the two watched quietly like this, and after a long time, Liu Chan began to shout:

"General, after I die, you will act on behalf of Hoy's power, and you can do the abolition of the Han Dynasty, and you should assist the king well, I am tired, I don't want to be cowardly anymore!"

After that, Liu Chan desperately broke away from the arms clamped by Wei Bing and stepped onto the battlements at the head of the city.

When Deng Aibing came to the city of Chengdu, he originally thought that the general trend had gone, and Liu Chan didn't want to do any more useless struggles, and he still didn't lose the position of the prince with Lilly.

It's just that he didn't expect his son Liu Yao to successfully escape, and he also pulled up the army and joined Jiang Wei to fight back to Chengdu.

Now that he is the son of heaven of a country, he fell into the hands of Wei Jun like a doll, coupled with the suicide of his son Liu Chan, even if Liu Chan is a thick-skinned person, he can't stand such humiliation, it is better to stop it, and leave a heroic image in the hearts of the soldiers, Liu Chan slowly closed his eyes and jumped down.

Jiang Wei hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, no! ”

Seeing that Liu Chan wanted to jump off the city wall to cut himself off, Deng Ai was scared into a cold sweat, if Liu Chan died in his own hands in the form of suicide, he would face the revenge and anger of the Han army, and he didn't dare to do any hesitation, Deng Ai hurriedly shouted at Tian Xu: "Stop him!" ”

said that it was too late, and Tian Xu, who was standing next to Liu Chan, grabbed Liu Chan's shirt and pulled him back.

Seeing that Liu Chan was pulled back, Deng Ai wiped the cold sweat on his head and hurriedly ordered:

"Tian Xu, take him down!"

"No!" Tian Xu took two sergeants to escort Liu Chan, who was full of sluggish faces, back.

Jiang Wei saw that Liu Chan was pulled back by Wei Jun, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, now he can only go back and think about it in the long run, in his heart, he really doesn't want to give up this opportunity, but he can't watch the Son of Heaven die in front of him, so he had to turn the horse's head again, and said in a deep voice:

"Withdraw!"

No matter how unwilling they were, Luo Xi and Zhang Zun could only carry out Jiang Wei's orders, and each led the soldiers and horses to disperse and let the Wei army outside return to the city.

Jiang Wei commanded to a few sergeants beside him:

"You go to the three city gates in the southeast and north respectively, tell Luo Xian, Liao Hua, Zhuge Xu, and immediately withdraw and stop attacking the city!"

"No!" The Han sergeants dispersed.

Watching the Han army's lineup slowly retreat in a uniform manner, the Wei army, who was still outside the city, cried with joy, just now he was still struggling at the Ghost Gate, and he was out of danger in an instant.

Deng Ai, who was standing at the head of the city, was also in an excellent mental state, although the Wei army suffered heavy losses this time, but it was considered a victory for the Wei army to force Jiang Wei to retreat, and more importantly, Liu Chan's trump card really played a role, as long as it was used properly, the Han army would not want to take advantage of it from its own hands.

The siege of Chengdu's West Gate was lifted, Deng Ai began to order the retreating Wei army to reorganize the formation, and after cutting down a few soldiers who did not obey the order, the Wei army finally began to stop crowding and trampling, and they retreated to the city in an orderly manner.

At the east gate of Chengdu City, although Zhuge Xu led the troops in the Han army for the first time, the soldiers were not used to running in, and the Han army could not accept it for a while, but Zhuge Xu was also a good general who had been guarding the border of Wei for many years, and with the name of Jiang Wei, he could control the soldiers under his command.

He was originally a general of the Wei State, and he knew the battle habits of the Wei army well, and under his command, he effectively attacked the weakness of the Wei army, and the Han army at the east gate of Chengdu had the advantage in the early stage of the siege and gradually controlled the city gate.

It was only later that the Wei army had 500 elite troops to join the battle, and the East City Gate was lost and recovered by the Wei army, but it was also a drop in the bucket, and the Han army once again launched an attack on the East Gate under the command of Zhuge Xu, and the battle situation was one-sided, and it was only a matter of time before the East Gate fell.

Zhuge Xu stroked his beard under the city and paid attention to the battle situation at the head of the city with satisfaction, and asked the captain beside him:

"How's the battle going at the other gates?"

The lieutenant smiled and replied:

"General Luo Xian's brute soldiers and the Wei army have fallen into a stalemate, although General Liao Hua has the upper hand, but General Liao is decent, the progress of the siege is very slow, Zhang Yi and the general at the east gate have successfully strangled and trapped the Wei army outside the city, and they are about to enter the city gate."

At first, the soldiers of the Han army did not buy Zhuge Xu, he was just a general, if it were not for Jiang Wei's prestige, these people might not obey Zhuge Xu, and some people were even hostile to Zhuge Xu.

However, after a command, Zhuge Xu's talent was vividly displayed, and the Han army soldiers gradually recognized him in their hearts, Luo Xian and Liao Hua obviously did not develop as fast as Zhuge Xu's siege progress.

Hearing the captain's answer, Zhuge Xu's face also showed joy, and he said slowly:

"I naturally can't compare the general's talent, but I can win over General Luo and General Liao, and the first great achievement of the Three Route Army to break the city belongs to us!"

"Congratulations to General Zhuge

The captain was also very happy, the Dongmen Han army took the lead in breaking through Chengdu City, and he could also be rewarded.

The two didn't be happy for long, and suddenly a Han sergeant arrived in a hurry on a fast horse, saw Zhuge Xu, and hurriedly dismounted and hugged his fists and saluted:

"The general has an order, let General Zhuge stop the siege and quickly withdraw to the camp?"

"What? Withdrawal? Zhuge Xu's face changed, and he was very puzzled.

"Seeing that the East City Gate is about to be captured, how can we withdraw the army? Is this really the general's order? The lieutenant was also dumbfounded, not knowing how Jiang Wei could give such an order.

Seeing that the two of them were still hesitating, the sergeant of the Han army immediately said again: "The small one is just passing on the general's order, the two generals please obey!" ”

"General Zhuge can't withdraw the troops, at this time the withdrawal of the troops will be in vain!" The lieutenant turned his head to persuade Zhuge Xu, with a look of unwillingness.

Zhuge Xu closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Pass the order, Mingjin retreat!" ”

"Alas!" The lieutenant shook the whip in his hand vigorously, very reluctantly, but still received the military order.

"The last general obeys!"

Not long after, the sound of "oh oh" sounded, and the soldiers of the Han army who had already climbed the city looked at each other, and many soldiers scolded angrily:

"Which bullshit general's order, the battle situation is very good, why did you withdraw the troops!"

But there is a law in the army, and those who do not retreat when they hear the sound of gold will be killed, no matter what the reason, they cannot disobey the law, and the Han army complained while slowly retreating down the ladder to the city.

After the break, the Han army was killed by the Wei army again, and there were many more casualties, and the Han army that retreated was full of complaints, and the good impression of Zhuge Xu just now was swept away.

Zhuge Xu, who was waiting under the city, also heard the voice of the Han army's sneering and insulting to himself, intentionally or unintentionally, so he had to smile bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and sighed:

"Brother Boyo has hurt me!"
