Chapter 927: Variables
readx; Wen Yang is under pressure in three directions, it is indeed a little overwhelmed, in the comparison of troops, it is also the Shu army that occupies an obvious advantage, Wen Yang's idea is to take a defensive position as much as possible, not to let the Shu army break through the outer defense line of the Jin army, and wait until Sima Jun's army returns to help, and then launch a counterattack on the Shu army.

However, the offensive of the Shu army was more fierce than imagined, although the Jin army tried its best to defend, it could not resist the crazy offensive of the Shu army, and the defense lines in the northwest and south were frequently urgent.
And Wen Yang's biggest difficulty now is the lack of troops in his hands, and dealing with three fronts at the same time is indeed overstretched and unsustainable.
The Shu army was the first to break through the Jin army's defense line, or the first to enter the battle of the tiger cavalry army, the tiger cavalry army is like a sharp knife, relying on the most ferocious impact force, forcibly tore through the Jin army's defense line, in the direction of Fuliu, the first to complete the breakthrough.
After hearing this information, Wen Yang's face changed greatly, now the Jin army has done its best to defend on the outside line, and on the inside line, there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, if this defense line is broken through by the Shu army, it means that the entire defense line will completely collapse.
Sure enough, after the breakthrough of the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Tiger Bu Army and the Yongan Army also completed the breakthrough one after another, the entire western defense line of the Jin Army collapsed, and the Fuliu defenders collapsed under the fierce attack of the Shu Army, with heavy casualties, and the rest were unable to resist and fled one after another.
The loss of the western front made the battle situation of the entire Xindu suddenly difficult, and also put the entire Jin army's defense line at risk of being cut off.
"Withdraw!" Wen Yang reluctantly gave the order to retreat, and all he could do at present was to withdraw all the defenders on the western and northern fronts, and converge with the defenders on the southern front, so as to avoid the risk of being divided and annihilated by the Shu army.
Although the Shu army has an advantage in strength, but in one breath want to eat more than 70,000 Jin troops, it is by no means so easy, Wen Yang will Fuliu and Wuyi defenders withdraw, but did not completely give up Xindu, now the Jin army's camp, is stationed in the south of Xindu, north of Nangong, here, the Jin army has long been a deep trench and high trench, the barrier is heavily set up camp, ready to fight to the death with the Shu army.
Liu Yin didn't expect that Wen Yang could still organize an effective defensive camp when the outer defense line had collapsed, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, this Wen Yang really lived up to his reputation, he was not afraid of danger, and he stuck to the camp, and he couldn't completely defeat it in such a predicament, which was indeed amazing.
All the generals were killed on the head of Xing, and they all asked Liu Yin for his life, willing to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the camp of the Jin army and fight to the death with Wenyang.
Fu Zhu, Luo Xi, and Zhang Le were the three most intense in their pursuit of war, and the Jin army withdrew quite quickly, and they had already withdrawn to the south without too much entanglement with the Shu army, which made Fu Zhu, Luo Xi, and Zhang Le have nowhere to vent their breath.
Wenyang evacuated to the south, but did not withdraw from the surroundings of Xindu, and still used the original camp of the Jin army south of Xindu to resist again. This is exactly the cleverness of Wenyang, now that the defense line of the Jin army has been broken through, the armies have fled, if there is no strong commander to collect this army, it is likely to be surrounded by the Shu army, surrounded and annihilated.
If Wen Yang led the army to flee south, the situation can only be worse, now the south of Nangong, is the cavalry of the Shu army, the Jin army such a mixed cavalry army wants to break through the position of the cavalry of the Shu army, its difficulties can be imagined, there is a blockade in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, the Jin army can be said to be called every day, called the ground is not spiritual, and the terrain around Xindu is low, a horse and a flat river, there is no danger to follow, such a combat environment, is extremely unfavorable to the infantry.
What's more, escaping is a shame and an unacceptable behavior for Wen Yang, so Wen Yang just let the Jin army withdraw from the outer defense line and concentrate all of them in the Jin army camp south of Xindu.
More importantly, the Jin army camp was very close to the three defense lines, and after the Jin troops withdrew from the front line, they could quickly get the protection of the camp to avoid being hunted by the Shu army.
In the face of the generals' requests for battle, Liu Yin shook his head gently, this battle was only to relieve the siege of Xindu, and wanted to eat Wenyang's tens of thousands of troops in one go, the Shu army did not have such a big appetite now, breaking through the defense line of the Jin army had already hit Wenyang hard, and the goal of relieving Xindu had been achieved.
Now on the surface, it seems that the situation of the Shu army is very good, but in fact, the situation in Xindu is still very delicate, Wenyang sticks to the camp in the south of Xindu and does not retreat, and Sima Jun's men and horses are at the moment in the starry night, killing back non-stop, fast for one day, slow for two days, you can approach Xindu again.
Of course, if it was just Sima Jun's people, Liu Yin would not be afraid, but in addition to Sima Jun, Ma Long, who came from Qingzhou, heard that the military situation in Xindu was urgent, and he also accelerated the speed of his march, almost on a par with Sima Jun's people, and it is estimated that the time when he led the army to arrive will not be later than the time when Sima Jun arrived.
Ma Long's 100,000 horses are what Liu Yin is really afraid of, if there is no Ma Long's entry, the two sides of Jin and Shu are almost evenly matched, and even the Shu army has a slight advantage, after all, Liu Yin used a little trick to make Sima Jun is exhausted, in the previous battle, it has also hit Wen Yang's army hard, in the next battle, as long as Liu Yin maintains this advantage and wins the battle of Xindu, there is still great hope.
However, Ma Long's sudden arrival added a lot of variables to the battle of Xindu, and in the face of the siege of the Jin army, the situation of the Shu army suddenly became unoptimistic, and even crisis-ridden.
At this time, if the Shu army is still chasing and beating Wen Yang fiercely, it will be dragged by the Jin army, and after a day or two, the Jin army's two-way army will be killed, and the situation will be reversed immediately, and the Shu army will be outflanked and encircled.
The battle situation is so sinister, if you are not careful, you will never recover, and unlike the attitude of the generals who are eager to try, Liu Yin has been frowning, thinking about how to deal with the enemy.
This battle is very important, and it will even determine the direction of the battle of Jizhou in the future, Liu Yin naturally has to be cautious, and he must come up with a foolproof strategy.
But apparently there is not much time left for Liu Yin...... (To be continued.) )
