Chapter 417: Marching into Chang'an

Since Liu Yin had already calculated that after the reinforcements were raised, he would inevitably alarm the defenders of Chencang, then he would never let the Wei army that broke through from Chencang flee back to Chang'an.

Sure enough, after Wei general Su Yu heard the news of the fiasco of Sima Wang in Wuzhangyuan, he broke through the siege and fled desperately, Fu Yu was ordered by Liu Yin to open the net to Su Yu and did not forcibly intercept it, but Su Yu still paid a relatively large price when breaking through the defense line of the Shu army, and lost more than 2,000 people.

Su Yu led the remnants of 5,000 people to leave Chencang and fled along the trail like a frightened bird in the direction of Chang'an.

Fu Tong did not send troops to pursue, but was ordered to attack Chen Cang with all his might.

If Chen Cang's original troop configuration was based on 3,000 people to defend it, even if the Shu army had ten times the strength, it would not be possible to easily break through the city.

But often the factor that determines the success or failure of a battle is not the number of troops, the solidity of the city, and the morale of the army at this time show a very high role, the news of the defeat of Wuzhangyuan has made the military heart of the Chen Cang defenders shaken, at this time Su Yu's choice to leave, it is undoubtedly worse, even if Wang Hun continues to inspire morale, inspire the army, and call on the Wei army soldiers to fight to the death, but pessimism and despair spread among the Wei army, and morale has fallen to the extreme.

Fu Yi seized this opportunity, and did not divide his troops to pursue Su Yu, who had fled, but went all out to concentrate his superior forces and launch a final attack on Chen Cang.

On the one hand, the fighting spirit is high, and the soldiers are strong. Take advantage of the victory. Swallow mountains and rivers. On the other hand, the army was weakened, morale was sluggish, the morale of the army was weakened, and the fighting spirit was completely lost, and even the strongest city walls could not save the defeat of the Wei army.

Wang Hun knew that the general trend had gone, and it was impossible to redeem the fate of defeat with his personal efforts alone, and retreating to the inner city was just a remnant of life. It's just a dying struggle.

But Wang Hun is a strong-willed person, even if his generals saw that the general trend had gone, they surrendered one after another, Wang Hun did not choose to surrender, when he was ordered by Sima Wang to guard Chen Cang, he secretly swore that the city is in the people, the city is dead, if Wang Hun is greedy for life and afraid of death, he would have followed Su Yu to break through. The reason why he knew that he couldn't do anything and still stuck to Chen Cang was because of a promise that day. He was deeply favored by Sima Wang, and he should repay him with death.

Wang Hun finally ended his own life in the most tragic way - indiscriminate arrows piercing his body - and defended his name of loyalty and bravery, and the miracle of 38 years ago was not repeated again, and Wang Hun was one step behind his Taiyuan countryman Hao Zhao after all.

Just when the fierce battle in Chen Cangcheng was raging, Su Yu led his five thousand deserters to the encirclement of the Shu army.

Liu Yin calculated that Su Yu would not dare to take Guanlong Avenue at all, so he sent the Hubu Left Battalion and the Hubu Right Battalion to the Wugong Mountain Road to ambush.

After another night of fierce fighting, when he walked to Wugong Mountain, Su Yu's men and horses were already sleepy and lacking, and Su Yu was about to order the army to take a short rest, eat some dry food, drink some water, and plan to march overnight to escape from the encirclement and interception of tens of thousands of Shu troops.

Before he could get off the horse, the Shu army had already killed from all sides, trapping Su Yu's men and horses in the core.

Losing the blessing of the Chencang city wall, the so-called elite division of the Wei army became scum at this moment, and this was almost the most suspenseless battle, and after a little symbolic resistance, most of the Wei soldiers surrendered.

Su Yu didn't want to surrender, he relied on his horse to rush out. But the Yuanrong crossbow is not a vegetarian, Su Yu wanted to escape, but it didn't agree, and under the rain of arrows, Su Yu was shot into a hedgehog in an instant.

On the issue of breaking through and staying behind, Su Yu and Wang Hun both insisted on their own opinions, and both believed that the path they chose was the right one, but in the end, they went to the same end and died under the arrows.

When Liu Yin arrived at Wugong Mountain, the battle had already ended, Gao Yuan and Fu Zhao were already cleaning up the battlefield, and groups of Wei soldiers were escorted and left Wugong Mountain dejectedly.

Liao Liao, who had many prisoners of war and died in battle, reflected from one side that the morale of the Wei army had dropped to the freezing point, and it was about to collapse at the first touch, and even the most basic resistance was gone. Such a situation can be said to be that Wei and Shu have been fighting for decades, and there has never been such a situation, and it also shows that Liu Yin's successive victories in the land of Guanlong have indeed beaten the Wei army to the point of losing fear.

Liu Yin ordered Su Yu to be buried, it stands to reason that Su Yu is also a wise and brave general, but it is a pity that his will is not very firm, and he panicked in the face of major setbacks, thinking of taking the road and escaping, but in the end, it was difficult to escape.

On the contrary, it was Su Yu's self-chaos that gave the Shu army an opportunity to take advantage of, if the merit of beating Chen Cang is counted, Su Yu can be called the first merit, without Su Yu dividing his troops and leaving, the Shu army wants to take Chen Cang, at least it has to pay a long time and a heavy price.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Yin led the army back to Chencang.

At this moment, Fu He and Huang Chong have all taken Chencang, and are organizing the military and civilians to extinguish the fire, in order to quickly take the inner city of Chencang, Fu He used a large number of rockets, and the fire caused by it almost razed the inner city of Chencang to ruins.

Wang Hun fought to the last moment and swore not to surrender, but Liu Yin is extremely admirable, although the positions of the two sides are different, but Wang Hun's integrity of swearing to fight to the death is admirable, no matter in what sense, Wang Hun can also be regarded as a hero.

Liu Yin instructed the people below to bury Wang Hun according to the ceremony.

Taking Chencang meant opening the gate to Guanzhong, and the Shu army could go east along Weishui and take Chang'an. Liu Yin did not dare to delay in the slightest, even if he won the battle between Chen Cang and Wuzhangyuan, the situation in front of him was still not optimistic.

The battle of Chencang was at best only an outpost battle to attack Chang'an, and Chang'an, as the core of Guanzhong's three auxiliaries, was the hub of Guanzhong, and only by really capturing Chang'an could it be regarded as taking the entire Guanzhong.

Sima Wang is now estimated to have become a frightened bird, and after this battle, he will definitely retreat in Chang'an City, put on a rigid posture, and no longer dare to act rashly.

After the two valley roads leading to Hanzhong were cut off, Chen Cang Road and Xiegu were cut off, which was equivalent to forcing Zhong Hui into a desperate situation, and Zhong Hui would get accurate news ten days later at the latest.

Therefore, Liu Yin did not dare to hesitate, and left Chencang on the same day and marched into Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
