"Your Highness, the defenders of Xindu are already at the end of their crossbows, if they attack for a few more days, they will definitely be able to take Xindu, and if they withdraw their troops at this time, they will inevitably lose their previous achievements. "Wen Yang did not agree to withdraw the siege of Xindu, in order to take Xindu, the Jin army has already paid a lot of price, once the siege is withdrawn, all previous efforts will inevitably be in vain.www.biquge.info

Sima Jun snorted coldly and said: "Do you think this king is willing, but Yecheng is much more important than Xindu, the Shu people sneak attack Yecheng, if it is successful, our back road will be gone, how can we abandon it, which is more important, it is not clear at a glance?" ”

To tell the truth, Sima Jun still has a hatred for Wen Yang, after all, his brother Sima Shi died because of Wen Yang, although Sima Zhao later pardoned Wen Yang's crimes, but for the people of the Sima family, they still can't face it calmly, so this time Sima Jun took office as the governor of the rebellious capital, and it really looked like the Wen Yang under his command was not pleasing to the eye, and his words were always cold and indifferent.

Wen Yang didn't know Sima Jun's thoughts, but what he has suffered most in Luoyang over the years is cold eyes, and he has long been accustomed to it, this time he has been used and valued, Wen Yang still cherishes this opportunity very much, every time he fights, he will come to the battle in person, take the lead, in his opinion, as long as he works hard, he still has the opportunity to be reused.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that Liu Yin is just using a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao this time, his real intention is to relieve the siege of Xindu, if our army withdraws to Yecheng, wouldn't it be the right one?" In order not to let this action be anticlimactic, Wen Yang still insisted on his own ideas.

Sima Jun said coldly: "General Wen, this king has also read the art of war and knows what it is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and I don't need you to teach you at all." Although it is a plan, if we abandon it, Liu Yin may not really attack Yecheng, once Yecheng is lost, it will really be a fake. ”

Wen Yang said: "Yecheng city defense is strong, far from the general city can be compared, not to mention that there are still 10,000 defenders in Yecheng, the Shu army is light cavalry, and there is no large siege equipment, it is not easy to take Yecheng, as long as the Yecheng defenders can hold on for three or five days, and after our army breaks through Xindu, we can wave our division to the west, cut off the return route of the Shu army, so that it can not care about each other, and a war can level Jizhou." ”

Sima Jun sneered: "General Wen doesn't know the power of the Shu army's firearms, how strong Chang'an City was back then, the wall collapsed in a snap of a finger, can Yecheng block the firearms of the Shu army?" If Yecheng is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Sima Jun has a personal experience of the firearms of the Shu army, and the earth-shattering power makes Sima Jun still have lingering palpitations, so Sima Jun has no doubt that once the Shu army uses firearms, the loss of Yecheng will only be in a moment. If you want to keep Yecheng, it is unrealistic to count on the more than 10,000 defenders, Sima Jun must lead a large army to come back and obtain an overwhelming majority in the number of soldiers and horses, so as to ensure the safety of Yecheng.

On the contrary, the Shu army of Shouxindu only has more than 10,000 people, but it can withstand the army of more than 100,000 of the Jin army, why is the gap so big for the same army?

Wen Yang has only heard of the power of firearms, but has not seen it with his own eyes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, Sima Jun himself has seen it with his own eyes, and naturally knows how powerful it is, the importance of Yecheng is self-evident, and there is no room for loss in any case, so Sima Jun did not take Wen Yang's suggestion, withdrew 70,000 troops from the front line of Xindu, personally led, and returned to Yecheng.

Left to Wen Yang to continue to besiege Xindu, only half of the army remained, and the sharp reduction in the number made the momentum of the Jin army much weaker, and the offensive was naturally not as good as before, and the Shu army, which was already close to the end of the crossbow, also won some respite, so that Wen Yang originally hoped to be able to take the Xindu City within a few days became far away.

This point Wen Yang is also particularly helpless, originally in his plan, as long as he takes Xindu in one go, annihilating the Yang'an army of the Shu army, it is bound to cause a heavy blow to the Shu army, injuring its ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of its fingers, regardless of the Shu army to encircle Wei to save Zhao, the sound of the east and west, as long as the Shu army can be destroyed an army, it is a decisive victory, now the Jin army occupies the advantage in the number of troops, only by constantly encroaching on the Shu army, eliminating the Shu army, can the advantage be transformed into victory.

But Sima Jun, as the commander of the three armies, naturally has the highest decision-making power, and it is understandable that he is afraid that Yecheng will lose, but it seems that the real gain outweighs the loss by missing the opportunity to annihilate the Shu army.

But the matter has come to this point, and Wen Yang is irretrievable, but he still did not give up, and continued to lead the army to attack Xindu City, hoping that with his last efforts, he could take Xindu City and not give up his previous achievements.

However, the Jin army only left half of the men and horses, the attack power naturally decreased a lot, Zhao Zhuo in the city of Xindu can clearly feel the lack of strength of the Jin army's attack, it is obvious that something must be wrong with the Jin army, which will lead to such a situation, but this is undoubtedly a good news for the Shu army defending the city, the original Shu army is already very difficult, but at this moment the Jin army's offensive is weak, and it has created an opportunity for the Shu army, Zhao Zhuo inspired the soldiers to fight to the death, persistence is victory.

Under the defense of the Shu army's Zhongzhi City, the Jin army's attack was blocked again, and the city wall, which originally looked dilapidated, was as solid as a rock at this time, which made Wen Yang sigh and fight with the Shu army, and it was difficult to go to the sky.

After Sima Jun returned to Yecheng, the Shu army's plan to besiege Wei and rescue Zhao was successful, and after Luo Xian arrived in Xiangguo, he received an order from Liu Yin to stop the march to Yecheng, and instead turned eastward, bypassing the mainland Ze, and launched an attack on Nangongcheng, the frontline stronghold of the Jin army.

The other two roads of people, one led by Fu Tong, crossed the Zhanghe River from Hejian County to Wuyi, and the other route was led by Liu Yin, from Xiaquyang to Fucheng and Fuliu, the three-way army, mighty and imposing, all to Xindu.

After Wen Yang heard the news, his face suddenly changed, obviously, this is the real intention of the Shu army, the purpose is to relieve the siege of Xindu, now the Jin army has been in Liu Yin's siege of Wei to save Zhao's plan, half of the troops returned to aid Yecheng, Xindu area, there are only more than 70,000 people, compared with the Shu army that poured the main force to kill, the advantage in strength has been gone.

What's more difficult is that now the Jin army belongs to the state of besieging Xindu, before taking Xindu, the Jin army has no city to rely on, almost no danger to defend, and the troops are relatively scattered. Wen Yang was deeply caught in a crisis. (To be continued.) )
