Chapter 406: The Tripartite War (6)

When Chengdu is facing a huge crisis, Mianzhu City is also launching an offensive and defensive battle.

However, compared to the precariousness of Chengdu City, Mianzhu is as stable as Mount Tai.

Because the force attacking Mianzhu was reduced by half overnight, the pressure on the Cao army in the city was reduced a lot, Gao Shun's trapped camp and Zhao Yun's charging battalion gathered together to defend the city, Zhang Ren led the army to attack for a long time, but no one was able to capture the city.

The 4,000 soldiers led by Zhang Ren have lost six or seven hundred people since the siege began, and what they have exchanged is only to leave some traces of swords and guns on the city wall, and no besieging soldier has ever left his footprints on the head of Mianzhu City.

Zhang Ren's face was serious, and the hand holding the spear was clenched so tightly that his fingernails pierced the skin near the tiger's mouth.

"Withdraw your troops!" After another period of time, when Zhang Ren's army was less than three thousand men, he finally gave the order to retreat.

If he continues to fight like this, his losses will become greater and greater, and the end he will only face will be the death and wounding of his 3,000 people. Mianzhu City was still under the control of Cao Jun and his own side was completely destroyed, which was a result that Zhang Ren could never accept.

"Whew, it's finally over." Seeing Zhang Ren leading the army to retreat, Gao Shun let out a long breath.

Zhang Ren withdrew his troops this time, and Mianzhu City can be said to have no threat of changing hands.

At this time, Zhang Ren's troops were not much, adding up to less than 3,000 people, while the combined strength of the trapped camp and the assault battalion was almost 2,000. These two thousand soldiers are all the 'elite' of Cao Ying, and if they fight face-to-face with Zhang Ren's 3,000 people, they also have a nine-in-ten chance of winning.

Gao Shun looked at the scene of Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses retreating in an orderly manner, and wondered if he would simply let Cao Jun go out of the city and swallow Zhang Ren's 3,000 people in one go.

Yesterday was pressed and beaten by the Yizhou army, which also made Gao Shun have some fire in his heart, anyway, at this time, going out of the city to attack Zhang Ren can be said to be a victory, why not do it?

Just when Gao Shun was tickled by his own thoughts, there was a sudden report that Chengdu City was attacked by the Jiangdong army, and the city 'gate' had been breached.

Although Gao Shun had an army, he also sent a scout to pay attention to the movements in Chengdu City.

When Gao Shun learned the news, he was extremely surprised, he didn't expect that Sun Jian would take advantage of the entanglement between the Cao army and the Yizhou army to send troops to raid, and even hit the city of Chengdu in one go!

After calming down, Gao Shun dispelled the idea of attacking Zhang Ren on the spot. The most important thing now is Chengdu! Whether Liu Zhang defended Chengdu in the end, or the Jiangdong Army occupied Chengdu, it was not the most favorable outcome for Gao Shun.

The snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, and the capture of Chengdu in the 'chaos' may be able to get unexpected results.

"The whole army, leave Mianzhu, attack Chengdu!" Gao Shun quickly issued a military order. Now that the 'gate' of Chengdu City has just been breached, it may not be able to be controlled by the Jiangdong Army immediately. In any case, what Gao Shun has to do now is to lead the Cao army to rush in the direction of Chengdu, if Chengdu City has not completely fallen into the hands of the Jiangdong Army, he will take advantage of the 'chaos' to launch an attack, if Chengdu City has been firmly controlled by the Jiangdong Army, he will try to make other plans.

In order not to attract Zhang Ren's attention, under the leadership of Gao Shun, Cao Jun quietly left from the Mianzhu South 'Gate'.

Gao Shun no longer let the original Mianzhu troops stay in the city this time, but let them be arranged at the forefront of the army as the vanguard. Although it is cruel to use a pawn as cannon fodder, it is better than sacrificing one's own brothers. And now that Chengdu City has been attacked by the Jiangdong Army, Gao Shun doesn't have to worry that these Yizhou soldiers will turn against each other in front of the Jiangdong Army, and when the situation is roughly settled, it is estimated that these vanguard troops are almost dead.

Of course, Gao Shun also left a hundred Cao troops to pretend on the city, although it is expected that Zhang Ren will not attack the city again within today, but once he sees that the city is empty, he will immediately realize that something is wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army had all rushed into Chengdu City, and Lu Meng, as the main general, also showed a confident smile on his face at this time. The battle went extremely smoothly, and it is estimated that in another half an hour, the entire city of Chengdu will be completely occupied by the Jiangdong army.

From the siege of the city to the present, although the Jiangdong Army has suffered a lot of losses, and now there are only about 6,000 people left, but LĂź 'Meng' is sure that the defenders in Chengdu City will definitely not have more than 1,000 people left.

Compared with Lu Meng's relaxed complexion, Yan Yan in Chengdu was in a heavy mood and almost desperate.

From the 'gate' of the city, they fought and retreated, and now they were about to retreat to the governor's mansion, and the defenders in the city were almost completely killed and wounded, and only the last 1,000 men were still resisting.

However, the last 1,000 people were annihilated in a blink of an eye, the Jiangdong Army has all entered the city of Chengdu, and the advantage of six to one troops in flat ground is indescribable, not to mention that the combat power of the Jiangdong Army is superior to that of the Yizhou Army.

Yan Yan has lost all hopes, but he no longer has any hope, and there is the state pastor's mansion behind him, and he has reached the point where he has no way to retreat. What Yan Yan can hope now is that after the last thousand people are wiped out, he can also die on the battlefield with these Yizhou martyrs.
