Walking closer, Liu Yin clenched his fist, punched Zhang Le's thick chest heavily, and said with a smile: "I usually look at your appearance, this time it's really good, you played very well!" ”

Zhang Le grinned and said, "Of course, if you lose this battle, you won't lose your face, big brother." Hey, big brother, my brothers have worked so hard, why do you have to be promoted this time, how can you be a protector general, right? ”

"Yours are indispensable," Liu Yin said with a smile, "One day you sharpened your head and thought about getting promoted and made a fortune, are you tired?" ”

Zhang Le said disapplausively: "If people don't pursue it, what's the difference between it and salted fish, not to mention that even if it's a salted fish, it also has a time to turn over." ”

"If you are less poor, go to sleep, look at your eyes are about to become giant pandas." Liu Yin patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him to rest.

Zhang Le really fought hard enough, he didn't close his eyes for a few nights, so he gave up his hand and retreated and found a place to sleep.

Since the start of the war, Yanghu has slept less than two hours a day, and most of the rest of the time, he insists on staying on the front line to personally supervise the battle.

The successive attacks made the Jin army quite tired, but Yanghu knew that the Shu army was more tired than them, this was a battle to the death, and it was the ultimate test of the willpower of both sides.

According to the situation of the battle, Yanghu judged that the Shu army was already at the end of the crossbow, and now it was almost the last blow, so Yanghu decided to mobilize all the reserves, give it a go, and give Fu Yu the final blow.

But soon Yanghu found that the defense of the Shu army suddenly became much stronger, and the crossbow arrows shot were all strong and powerful, and the strength and density were greatly increased compared to before, and this strong attack of the Jin army was quickly repulsed.

Yanghu was shocked, it stands to reason that the defenders' defensive capabilities are constantly weakening, why did it increase suddenly, and it was not an ordinary increase, the increase was almost doubled, this abnormal phenomenon made Yanghu's heart sink suddenly, could it be that the reinforcements of the Shu army came?

However, Yanghu was very skeptical of this idea, the reserves of the Shu army in Chang'an had long been empty, otherwise it would be impossible to sit back and watch the emergency situation in Tongguan and not come to the rescue, the only possibility is that Liu Yin, who was in Liangzhou, would return to help Tongguan. However, this is obviously impossible, Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from Tongguan, and in such a short period of time, Liu Yin will not be able to fly back even if he has wings.

Just when Yanghu was thinking wildly, on the Tongguan city wall a stone's throw away, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes, and Yanghu couldn't help but be shocked, wasn't that his nephew and son-in-law Wenchuan who escaped in Luoyang City that day? No, later Yanghu also knew that Wenchuan's true identity was Liu Yin.

When he knew the news, Yang Hu had mixed feelings in his heart, he let it go, but he was the most wanted criminal in the Jin Kingdom and the most threatening enemy in the Jin Kingdom, but looking at the sad and compassionate eyes of his niece Qing'er, even if he knew Liu Yin's true identity at the beginning, he might not be able to be ruthless.

Liu Yin saw it clearly at the top of the city, and said loudly: "General Yang, don't come to harm, right?" ”

The facts couldn't be clearer, Liu Yin had already returned from Liangzhou, regardless of how Liu Yin did it, but the reinforcements arrived, making Yanghu fall short, and all the offensive plans were in vain. Just one Fu Tong made Yanghu's plan to conquer Tongguan delay again and again, and now that the reinforcements of the Shu army have arrived in a big way, the hope of taking Tongguan is almost zero.

Yanghu sighed softly, waved his hand dejectedly, signaled the Jin army to stop the attack, retreat to the east and camp to the east of the forbidden water, and prepare to defend the counterattack of the Shu army.

Zhang Shangxin said unwillingly: "Governor, are we giving up like this?" ”

Yanghu sighed: "Heaven's will is like this, what can I do? ”

"But we still have at least eighty or ninety thousand capable warriors, and a small Tongguan really can't be defeated?" Zhang Shang asked.

Yanghu shook his head and said: "Liu Yin's thousands of miles back to help, bringing must be an elite division, just one Fu Yan, has blocked us for more than ten days, not an inch of progress, and now add strong reinforcements, the morale of the people of Shu is high, and Tongguan is already indestructible." ”

The generals of the Jin army all sighed, seeing that Tongguan was already within reach, but they never expected that the Shu army would rush back from Liangzhou, thousands of miles away, and the last hope of breaking the city was also extinguished, and the Jin army paid a great price for casualties but gained nothing, which could not help but make people feel melancholy.

It is a helpless move to retreat to the east of the forbidden water, Tongguan is not only the defense pass in the pass, but also the strategic bridgehead of Qinchuan to the east, if the Jin army can not take Tongguan, it means that the capital Luoyang is also under the threat of the Shu army, Hangu is a valley road, about one or two hundred miles long, the east is the world-famous Hangu Pass, and the west pass is now Tongguan, but Tongguan is the pass on the Hangu Road, Hangu Pass is also abandoned, that is to say, now from Tongguan all the way east, until Luoyang City, It's almost risk-free.

Therefore, after Yanghu knew that he could not conquer Tongguan, he did not immediately return to Luoyang, but camped on the east side of the forbidden water to deal with the possible counterattack of the Shu army. Now Yanghu also figured out how many reinforcements Liu Yin had brought, and whether it would pose a fatal threat to his legion, and retreating was the most ideal strategy that Yanghu could adopt now.

And judging from the current situation, in order to ensure the safety of the capital Luoyang, it is imperative to rebuild Hangu Pass, in the current Hangu Pass has been abandoned for many years, dilapidated, want to rebuild, it almost has to spend a lot of money, and the time required will not be too short, during this period of time, there must be an army in front of Hangu Pass, to win some time for the rebuilding of Hangu Pass.

This did make Yanghu very helpless, 100,000 troops came to take advantage of the excitement, but they were trapped under the city of Tongguan, and finally had to retreat obscenely to ban Shuidong, which made Yanghu, who was originally counting on a war to become famous, depressed to the extreme, which probably also disappointed Sima Yan, who was waiting for good news in the Luoyang Palace.

The development of the battle situation is so unexpected, Yanghu is powerless at the moment, he can only hope that the two roads of Wuguan and Pubanjin can make a breakthrough. (To be continued.) )
