Under the strict defense of the Cao army, the first day of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's attack on Mianzhu was finally over, and the Yizhou army left a total of nearly 2,000 corpses in the north and south of Mianzhu City, and the condition of the Cao army was also not ideal, whether it was trapped in the camp or the assault battalion, it paid more than one-third of the casualties.

If it weren't for the two 'elites' of Cao Jun guarding the city wall, I'm afraid that Mianzhu City, which was the work of the day, would have changed hands again. But even so, the number of troops defending the city is now less than 2,000, and the situation can be described as very embarrassing.

If there is no turnaround, if we continue to fight like today, it is estimated that it will only last for two more days at most. Two days later, Mianzhu City will be broken.

However, even if they knew that Mianzhu could not hold it, Gao Shun and Zhao Yun were both killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and they had already been mentally prepared for the horse leather shroud.

However, just as Cao Jun was struggling to support himself in Mianzhu City, a battle report came to Chengdu, which almost frightened Liu Zhang to vomit blood.

A few days ago, Bajun City was breached by the Jiangdong Army. After the Jiangdong Army broke the city, it went up along the Tuojiang River, and now it is less than 100 miles away from Chengdu!

Wait until tomorrow, this Jiangdong army will appear outside Chengdu and launch a fierce attack on Chengdu!

It was already night, but Liu Zhang still immediately sent people to the mansions of the important ministers in Chengdu and asked them to immediately enter the state minister's mansion to discuss matters.

At this moment, the ministers were already asleep, and when they were urgently summoned by Liu Zhang, almost all of them appeared in front of Liu Zhang with sleepy eyes. However, when the ministers heard the news that the Jiangdong army could be killed in Chengdu on the same day, everyone suddenly woke up, and their sleepy eyes disappeared suddenly, replaced by blue and white 'colored' faces.

I didn't expect that Sun Jian would 'plug' at such a time! Yizhou is now focusing all his attention on Cao Jun, and he is unaware of the arrival of the Jiangdong Army! It wasn't until he killed a hundred miles away from Chengdu City that he was shocked.

Yizhou, it's really dangerous!

"In today's situation, we should quickly summon General Yan back to Chengdu to deploy defense!" Huang Quan was the first to make a decision, and took the lead in stepping forward and said to Liu Zhang. The situation was critical, and the annihilation of Cao's army was no longer the first priority. At present, it is inevitable to transfer Yan Yan's army back to Chengdu City for defense, and as for the Cao army in Mianzhu City, it can only be 'handed over' to Zhang Ren to deal with.

However, Huang Quan also trusts Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren is a famous general in Yizhou, and Huang Quan believes that even if he is allowed to face Cao Jun alone, he can win the game.

When Yan Yan received the military order and heard that the Jiangdong Army had attacked not far from Chengdu, he was also shocked.

"I knew this was the case, I should not have left Ba County, but let General Zhang Ren return to Chengdu alone!" Yan Yan was heartbroken, and shouted after taking the case.

If he led 5,000 'elite' soldiers to sit in Ba County, unless Jiangdong sent more than 20,000 men and horses to attack, Yan Yan would be confident that he would keep the other party out. However, Jiangdong wants to confront Cao 'Cao' on the one hand, and suppress Shanyue on the other, how can there be so many troops sent. Even Cao Cao's attack on Shu this time only sent 15,000 people, and he was deceived in the name of the Yizhou allies in advance to be able to capture the city in Yizhou.

It's just that everything can't be done again, Yan Yan can only pack up his mood and lead the army back to Chengdu.

Yan Yan withdrew his troops, although he had suppressed the sound, but he was still noticed by the Cao army in the city, but Gao Shun did not order the pursuit, who knows if it was Yan Yan's plan to 'lure' the enemy, not to mention that there was Zhang Ren in the north, once he launched an attack when he was pursuing, it was really dangerous.

Attacking the city during the day, Yan Yan's losses were almost about 1,000 people, and now he led 3,000 people back to the city, plus the original army in the city, the number of defenders was around 5,500 people. The Jiangdong army is reported to be at least 9,000 people.

The situation is slightly unfavorable for Chengdu, but if it is held to the city, it should be able to hold it.

This night, whether it was Liu Zhang and others in Chengdu City, or Gao Shun and others in Mianzhu City, they were all so anxious that this night felt so long.

But even the longest night is the moment when dawn comes.

After dawn, Gao Shun was able to determine that Yan Yan's troops in the south of the city had indeed retreated cleanly.

"Isn't there a change in Chengdu?" Aside from this reason, Gao Shun really couldn't think of any other reason that could make Yan Yan withdraw from the army in a hurry overnight.

But as for what happened in Chengdu, it is not something that Gao Shun can guess.

But no matter what, without Yan Yan's containment, if Zhang Ren is dealt with alone, the situation will not be one-sided. Cao's 2,000 troops against the Yizhou army's 4,000 people were not without a chance of victory.

Therefore, Gao Shun and Zhao Yun gathered all the troops of the trapping camp and the assault battalion in the north of the city, leaving only a small number of sentries to stay in the south of the city to observe the movements outside the city, in case Yan Yan killed a horse gun.

Zhang Ren looked at the number of Cao soldiers on the city wall who had not decreased but increased compared with yesterday, and his brows were also deeply furrowed.

Yan Yan also sent messengers yesterday to quickly bypass the entire Mianzhu City to Zhang Ren's military camp and inform Zhang Ren that Chengdu City had been attacked and that Yan Yan's troops were about to return to the city to set up defenses.

Although he had long been mentally prepared for a hard battle, when he led the army to line up under the city, Zhang Ren still felt the difficulty of attacking Mianzhu City alone.
