At the beginning of the siege, Meng Da was still full of confidence.

With 3,500 people to storm a fortified city, it is naturally a fool's dream, but is the western city considered a fortified city?

After Meng Da's careful analysis, he felt that it was obviously not.

Even when the whole army was mobilized, three reasons for victory were cited.

"One! The people in the city are not aligned, this city has been run by the Shen family for many years, even if Liu Chan's people rely on force to suppress it for a while, as long as our army presses, the city will definitely echo!

"Second, the person who presides over the city defense is a nobody, how can he be proficient in the way of defending the city? It must be left and right, and there is no way!

"Third, the King of Wei is powerful, and when the city hears that the King of Wei wants to take the West City, he must have already lost his courage, and our army will win!"

If he just used these words to deceive his brothers before the siege, General Meng Da himself was convinced.

However, things turned out to be completely contrary......

The blood relatives of the Shen family have been uprooted by Liu Chan, and for the small families and small forces that have cooperated with the Shen family in the past, Liu Chan not only does not blame the past, but also temporarily uses a large number of them to fill the vacancies left by the Shen family.

Now facing Cao Wei's common hatred of the three county family tribes, they can be said to have the same hatred in the matter of resisting Cao.

Under their collaborative organization, Xicheng is united.

General Meng Da analyzed the first half correctly, and indeed he reacted as soon as he pressed Xicheng...... A large number of people in the city were organized to carry water and supplies for the defense of the city.

Even if a large number of young people were transferred to the front line, many people still spontaneously participated in defending the city, even including men who did not accept the old and strong women, Shen Zhongquan could not persuade them......

Shen Zhong is indeed a nobody, and because of his special status, all his exploits in the Jiangling City Defense Battle are only known to a few people such as Liu Chan, and they are not widely publicized.

But when it comes to the left and right, there is no way...... Every day, the wounded soldiers whose heads were bleeding and splashed with boiling gold juice were worse than death, and many "cordial greetings" had been silently sent to General Meng Da and his female relatives in their hearts.

As for the king of Wei to take Xicheng, let alone it, it's okay not to shout, every time he scares the defenders with this, it's like giving them chicken blood, his waist is not sore, his back is not painful, and he is strong in archery.

In just a few days, nearly 1,000 casualties had already begun to suspect that the general's "three victories" meant that the enemy army would win.

Soon after the siege began, it was declared a failure.

This number of casualties, coupled with the fact that Xicheng has enough food, there is no hope for a fight.

If Meng Da forcibly attacked the city again, he would bring out these troops who were originally loyal, but he was afraid that he would also mutiny.

It's better to lose people than to lose your life, and Meng Da, who has gained nothing, is ready to withdraw.

However, when people have good things in pairs, they have to have a roof leak that coincides with a rainy day overnight.

It's just that the good thing went to Liu Channa, and the matter of the broken house leaking rain found General Meng.

"General! The enemy forces in the rear are chasing after you! ”

"What?" Meng Da, who was retreating to the dock west of the city, was surprised and delighted, and couldn't believe his ears.

There are so few guards in Xicheng who dare to chase them out, and some cities are not well guarded, so they actually come out to die?

"How many enemy troops are there?"

"At least five thousand."

Haha, there are still 500 people pouring out, that nobody is so arrogant, God really helps me Mengda!

Meng Da waved his hand in high spirits: "Return to the army, go back with me!" ”

Then, he saw the eyes of the lieutenant general and his soldiers as if they had seen ghosts.

"Why, you and the others are all frightened, and five hundred people dare not fight?"

“…… General, it's five thousand. ”

Mengda: "......"

After only being stunned for less than a moment, Meng Da immediately shouted: "Quickly retreat, order the whole army to move quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

General Meng has no way to think about where the Shu army has conjured up the five thousand people, so let's run first.

Fortunately, the water wharf on the west side is not far away, and there are two miles away......

Click, click......

In the direction of the dock, a heavily armed cavalry team was rushing towards them, shaking the word "horse" on the flag to Meng Da's heart.

Meng Da, who wanted to cry without tears, only felt that there were tigers behind him and wolves in front of him.

It's just that there are mountains in the north and south of Xicheng, and there is no way to escape in those two directions, so it is better to fight to the death, or have a glimmer of life.

"Today, only by fighting to the east can there be a glimmer of life! Rush with me! ”

After all, the cavalry in front did not seem to be large, and everyone finally mustered up the last courage to move forward...... Escape.

Yes, of course, they didn't want to launch a counter-charge against the cavalry with two legs, these soldiers just thought that there were fewer cavalry in front, and it was more reliable to flee forward than to go back.

This time, Ma Chao, who led the troops here, jumped, and then he was furious.

He led his troops to fight for many years, and he did not see a single infantry army who dared to charge at the cavalry without forming a formation.

Even if he only has 100 horsemen, the enemy generals will look down on him Ma Chao!

"Little thief, you think so much of me!"

Ma Chao hated Cao Cao the most in his life, and then he was the one who looked down on him, he had Qiang blood, and he had always been very sensitive in terms of self-esteem.

"Raise your gun!" Ma Chao shouted, and carefully calculated each other's marching speed in his heart.

"Throw!"

Buzz——!

The first wave of 100-shot spears flew straight towards Meng Dajun with the sound of whistling through the air.

This time, the hit rate has been improved compared to before.

The futile howl and miserable appearance of the person who was shot once again dealt a heavy blow to the almost collapsed will of Meng Dajun.

After two rounds of throwing guns, the angry Ma Chao led his 100 horsemen into the enemy formation.

Then he realized that the enemy army was not charging at him, but fleeing......

It was he who led people to block the road of Meng Da's army to break and flee, which caused the strange picture of the infantry "charging" the cavalry before.

Ma Chao, who was leading the crowd to continuously create widows, was even more puzzled, even if he couldn't withdraw his troops for a long time, he wouldn't break and flee.

Killed the rout, and was about to turn around to continue the pursuit, but was surprised to find that there were still shouts of killing ahead.

Thousands of friendly troops are rushing to kill with banners waving, waving the banner of "king".

Ma Chao's old doubts were solved, and new ones were added, but he didn't know who was coming.

But at this time, there was no time to elaborate, so he hurriedly led his troops to continue to cover the killing.

Youma Chao led the cavalry to chase all the way, and the speed of Meng Dajun's escape was greatly affected, and he was finally caught up by the pursuers.

In the panic of the escape, the people who were driven into the water did not know how many, and the water was once stained red with blood......

In the end, the main general Meng Da was wounded and captured, and more than 1,000 remnants of the soldiers under his command gave up resistance and surrendered.

After the war, Ma Chaofang found the general, who had black cheeks and red cheeks, and looked like a sturdy farmer more than a general.

"The last general, Wang Ping, meet General Ma." Wang Ping clasped his fists and saluted.

Ma Chao clenched his fists and nodded in return, and at the same time searched in his mind, but he didn't have much impression, and asked, "Are you a reinforcement from Hanzhong?" ”

"Exactly, the last general was ordered by General Wei to lead the army to help the prince."

The real Wei Yan's loyalty is naturally undoubted, but this is a very assertive person, and he will never hesitate to make a decision on the spot.

Since Liu Chan left, for the sake of the overall situation of Hanzhong and even the entire Yizhou, he was indeed stabilized and did not send troops for the time being.

But he didn't let the prince go to the three counties to fight, and he didn't do anything.

If that's the case, he won't be called Wei Yan.

He personally arranged manpower, sent scouts to investigate the movements of Cao's army on the northbound route, and at the same time ordered Wang Ping to point out the military battle, and be ready to go east to the three counties at any time to help the prince.

After receiving Shen Tan's letter of pretending to move the rescue soldiers, Wei Yan sneered and still held back and did not move, in case he fell for Cao Jun's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, as the prince said.

However, after the scouts from all walks of life reported one after another, and there was no change in the Cao army in the north, Wei Yan immediately sent Wang Ping to lead 5,000 soldiers to rush to the aid of the three counties.

Wang Ping had not yet made contact with the defenders in Xicheng, and at this time he asked Ma Chao worriedly: "General Ma, dare to ask where the prince is?" The last general saw that the defenders at the head of Xicheng City did not have the banner of the prince...... The enemy army has already attacked Xicheng, could it be that Shangyong and Fangling have fallen into the hands of the enemy? ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Hu Li on the side, seeing that the other party was also looking at him stupidly, he couldn't help laughing when he looked at each other for a moment.

Wang Ping hurriedly said: "Why is the general laughing? Is the prince okay? ”

"The prince has only suffered a little skin injury, and now he is in the upper class. The city has not fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the general looks, this is Xiahou Shang, the chief general of the Cao army. If the general wants to worry, he might as well worry about Xu Huang, ah? Hahaha......"

“…… Yes? ”
