Chapter 544: A Bad News
Wai three missing one is to deliberately let the enemy army defending the city have a way out, Liu Meng does have a little meaning, what he wants is Jinyang City, and it doesn't mean much to him if the Wei army escapes.
If the Wei army was willing to abandon the city and flee, it would be in Liu Meng's arms and left the high walls of Jinyang City, Liu Meng did not believe that the Wei army could run far, as long as the cavalry was dispatched, they would be wiped out.
Now the Huns are besieging the city with a three-way army, and the momentum is monstrous, but as for when they will be able to capture Jinyang City, there is really no bottom at all.
According to the original agreement in Yangyi, which one wins Jinyang first, then he will become the new Shan Yu, which is not limited to Liu Meng and Liu Bao.
Although Liu Meng and Liu Bao are the two most powerful of the five Xiongnu departments, whoever enters Jinyang first wins, not only for the two of them, but also for the other three.
However, Liu Yue of the Southern Xiongnu has withdrawn from the competition because of the defeat, and the remaining four have formed an alliance in pairs, and even they have planned, if Liu Meng (Liu Bao) is promoted to Shan Yu, then the seat of the right (left) Xianwang will be sat by Liu Jiao (Liu Teng).
But then the situation changed very quickly, and Liu Bao rushed to fight the fire because of the fire in his nest, which was equivalent to withdrawing from the competition.
On the surface, it is indeed the right Huns who stand out, and other tribes really can't compare with him.
But the pre-agreed who will take Jinyang City first will be Shan Yu, not to say that whoever is strong will be Shan Yu, although the stronger the strength should be the more hopeful, but this does not rule out the possibility that the weaker tribes have the possibility of picking up the leaks.
The news of Liu Meng's frustration in the attack made Liu Teng secretly happy, as long as Liu Meng did not take Jinyang now, then it was possible for anyone to be this Shan Yu next.
Not only Liu Teng has this idea, but even Liu Jiao, who secretly formed a gang with Liu Meng, may not have this thought, if there is a chance to be this Shan Yu, who will go to the rare right Xian King.
Liu Meng's loss of troops did not really gain the sympathy of others, but secretly rejoiced, and immediately Chen Pu's army launched an attack on Jinyang City.
If it is only a group of Xiongnu on Liu Meng's right, the defenders of Jinyang can still deal with it with ease, but now the Huns are attacking from three directions at the same time, then the city defense of Jinyang City immediately raised an alarm, and the situation has become dangerous.
However, Tian Yu did not surrender easily because of the three-way siege of the Huns, on the contrary, even if the Huns besieged the city in four ways, Tian Yu would not be intimidated, he was ready to fight to a soldier, as long as he Tian Yu still lived, then he would definitely not give up Jinyang easily.
Tian Yu is already old, how old is it, others calculate life expectancy in years, but Tian Yu is already calculated by breath, exhale this breath, I don't know if there is a next breath.
Living to this age, he has long been out of the equation of life and death, so in Tian Yu's dictionary, there is no such thing as surrender at all, and when he lives to this age, at least he should consider his reputation after death, does it mean that he still has to bear a spurned infamy when he is old?
It's a big joke!
This offensive and defensive battle lasted for many days, and the battle situation never relaxed, and it has been in a stalemate and fierce level, and the Huns continued to launch attacks, like three machines that never stop, running at high speed.
Because it is a matter of fighting for the position, so the three Huns have been in a state of secret fighting, no one dares to relax, if their side just stopped, the other side of the city broke through Jinyang City, wouldn't it be even the intestines to regret it.
Therefore, the three Xiongnu have always been fully loaded into the attack, maybe in their subconscious, the next breath of Jinyang City will be breached, as long as they continue to work hard and hard, Shan Yu's position will beckon to them.
However, this was destined to be a battle without victory, and the army defending the city seemed to be tenacious to the extreme, and did not give the Huns any chance, even if it was a fierce attack, and the city was finally abruptly stopped, and sometimes, they were only a few feet away from the city, but in the end they still returned in vain.
Despite this, the Huns' attack showed no signs of stopping, and they had to work hard to gnaw at the hard bone of Jinyang City.
The attack of the Huns is still the way of attacking the city, after all, the Huns have a limited number of weapons at their disposal, and weapons such as catapults and heavy ballistas are out of reach for them.
Therefore, when the Huns attacked, they could only pay attention to the tactics of crowds to destroy the opponent's defenses.
This kind of attack may be effective for ordinary county towns, after all, the strength of Wei is limited, it is impossible to do everything, and the defense force of each city is limited.
But Jinyang is different, it is the state city of the state, in terms of the configuration of defensive equipment, it is far superior to those county towns, and the height and thickness of the city also determine the final direction of this battle.
Will it be a triumphant song or a triumphant return?
This question has always plagued the minds of the Xiongnu tribes, and they have tried their best to try to attack, but Jinyang City is like an insurmountable barrier, always in front of them.
Liu Meng, who wanted to fight quickly, had to slow down the momentum of the offensive with the passage of time, and it seemed that it was a luxury to take Jinyang in a short period of time, and all the Xiongnu troops had to be prepared for a protracted battle.
It is impossible for Liu Meng to return to the state, he is determined to win, whether this siege battle is fought for a day or a year, Liu Meng has no intention of retreating, even if it takes a year, he must take Jinyang City.
In the early morning of this day, when the sun shone on the earth, a new day of attack by the Hun army began, but before Liu Meng could give the order to attack, a news quickly reached his ears, that is, Liu Bao's army returned to Jiaoyang.
Liu Bao's return was originally reasonable, according to the normal situation, Liu Bao should quickly return to the front line of Jinyang after relieving the siege of the Zi clan and defeating the Wei army, after all, no one would easily give up the plan to attack Jinyang.
But the news brought at the same time as Liu Bao's return was bad news.
Liu Bao did not solve the siege of the Zi clan, but suffered a defeat, lost more than half of the men and horses, and fled back, and the old nest of the Xiongnu on the left, the Zi clan, also fell.
