To the east of Longxi County, along Weishui, there are three counties: Nan'an County, Tianshui County and Guangwei County. Among them, Nan'an County bore the brunt, and its county Zhidao County was only 30 miles away from Xiangwu.

However, Deng Ai suggested that Liu Yin did not need to attack Nan'an County first, and only needed to send a small number of soldiers and horses to surround Nan'an County without fighting, concentrate superior forces, and take Tianshui directly. Among the counties of Longxi, Tianshui has the most garrisons, but now there are only 3,000 people, and Nan'an is even less, only 1,000 people. If you attack Nan'an first, it will definitely make Wang Qi of Tianshui frightened, abandon the city and leave, Deng Ai is most worried that when Wang Ji evacuates, it is likely that the Tianshui granary will be burned, so Deng Ai proposed, while the news of the loss of Longxi has just spread, Wang Qi is still hesitating, in a thunderous way, go straight to the city of Ji County, first take the location of the Tianshui granary, and then surround Ji County, forcing Wang Qi to surrender.

Deng Aijiu is in Longyou, naturally knows the importance of taking that city first, Tianshui is the center of Longyou, only by controlling Tianshui, can the overall situation be revitalized, as for Nan'an County, it is just a small county, sandwiched between the two big counties of Longxi and Tianshui, as long as the Shu army captures Tianshui, Nan'an will not attack itself.

Liu Yin is very appreciative of Deng Ai's strategy, which is quite in line with the soldiers' proposal to choose the key points and attack them, and there is no need to seize them one by one.

Liu Yin immediately waved his army eastward, in addition to ordering Luo's Yong'an battalion to besiege Nan'an, he personally led the remaining five battalions and a thousand Longxi soldiers of Zhan Hong to attack Tianshui County.

The Shu army raided Longxi County, just like a stone thrown into the calm lake, a stone hit a thousand waves, in the Longyou counties, no less than an eight-magnitude earthquake.

The Taishou surname of Nan'an County is Qiao Mingpu, and the name of Dongping in Yanzhou. Nan'an Taishou, who had just been transferred last autumn, took office when Zhong Hui led a large army to attack Shu, and Nan'an, as a rear county, was finally truly safe and sound. Transferred from the populous and prosperous land of Henan to the desolate and remote land of Xiliang, Qiao Pu is really a little unaccustomed. As a civilian official who had never fought a war, Qiao Pu was transferred to the Longyou area, where the people were rampant, which gave him a real headache.

But fortunately, for more than a year, the nuisance of Shu general Jiang Wei to Longyou no longer occurs, and occasionally some of the looting of Hu Yi is also small-scale, all in all, the situation in Nan'an is generally stable, and Qiao Pu is not merit in office. It's mediocre to give an account of the first year of his tenure.

Qiao Pu's least favorite is the weather in Longyou, often windy sandstorms in spring, and cold in winter, just into October Longyou is already cold, not to mention the number nine weather, dripping into ice, can freeze people to death. Chope was on fire in the hall, wondering if he would come up with some money next year. Activities in the imperial court, find a way to transfer back to the Central Plains. He's fed up with this damn place.

The news of the fall of Longxi came, which made Qiao Pu stunned, Longxi and Nan'an were next to each other, and a sense of crisis suddenly hit Qiao Pu's heart, and he didn't have time to make any reaction. Qiao Pu had already received the news of the siege of the Shu army.

The Shu army brigade roared eastward, leaving only the Yong'an battalion to besiege Nan'an.

Liu Yin's instructions to Luo Xi were to besiege the city of Nan'an without fighting, and the Yong'an battalion only needed to camp outside the four gates of Nan'an to besiege it, and if the enemy of Nan'an tried to escape, they would be annihilated on the spot. If you can't defend it, you don't need to attack the city. Although there are not many defenders in Nan'an, only a thousand people, but Nan'an is also a county town, the city defense is strong, if you attack it, the cost of casualties is not small, not to mention that Nan'an is not an important city, now it is surrounded but not fought, and after Tianshui and other counties are solved, Nan'an is a lonely city, and it will collapse without a fight.

However, Luo Raid is young and vigorous, and since he was in charge of the Yong'an Battalion as Zhonglang General, he has not fought in the real sense, and this attack on Nan'an can be regarded as his maiden battle.

Qiao Pu was already panicking, and he didn't know what to do, Nan'an Captain Cheng Yang stepped forward and said: "Nan'an has few soldiers, and it is not a good strategy to defend to the death, since the enemy has come to call for battle, the last general should lead a group of men and horses to meet the battle, if he can behead him, he will definitely be able to frustrate the morale of the Shu people." ”

Cheng Yang is nine feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and he is brave and brave, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to fight. Qiao Pu Yunzhi, Cheng Yang took more than 100 people, opened the city gate, and killed them.

Luo Xi rode a cyan horse, his original mount had been slaughtered when crossing the meadow, after arriving in Longxi, Liu Yin had hundreds of horses, although it was not enough to form a cavalry, but it was more than enough to meet the riding of all the generals. He was dressed in silver armor and held a silver spear, heroic and handsome.

Cheng Yang saw that the general of the Shu army was actually a childish teenager, and he couldn't help laughing, and said: "The doll that smells of milk and has not dried up dares to come to die!" ”

Luo Xi was furious, stepped forward with a spear, and stabbed Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang was very powerful, good at using the big axe, and did not put Luo Xi in his eyes at all, swung the axe to take the frame, and split the past.

This axe is powerful and heavy, Luo Raid did not dare to take it hard, and dodged sideways, Luo Raid fought with his own strength, and was definitely not Cheng Yang's opponent, but Luo Raid saw that although Cheng Yang was infinitely powerful, the axe was chaotic, and he concluded that he was just a person who only used brute force, so he broke a thousand catties with skill, and looked for his flaws with a variety of marksmanship. Before the battle was over, Luo Xun found a vacancy, and the silver spear was as fast as lightning, and it directly stabbed Cheng Yang's throat.

As soon as Cheng Yang died, the rest fled in all directions, and Luo raided his horse and rushed towards Nan'an.

Qiao Pu saw that Cheng Yang was killed in battle at the top of the city, and saw that Luo Xun had already rushed up murderously, so frightened that he hurriedly closed the city gate and ordered the archers to shoot it.

Luo attacked and rushed to the city, and the arrows on the city rained down, so he had to turn his horse back and scold again.

At this time, Qiao Pu was already remorseful because of Cheng Yang's death, and even though the Shu army was insulted in the city, he refused to fight, and became a turtle with a shrunken head behind closed doors.

The Wei soldiers did not dare to fight, Luo Raid was helpless, Liu Yin had an order first, and Luo Raid did not dare to disobey the order to attack the city, so he had to lead the army back a mile, camp under the city, and besiege Qiao Pu in the city.

There were four or five thousand Shu soldiers, and the Wei soldiers in the city were less than a thousand, Qiao Pu had already lost his fighting spirit, and he did not dare to abandon the city to break through, so he could only hope that Tianshui Taishou Wang Qi might send troops to rescue him.

But he didn't know that Wang Qi was under more pressure than him at this time, and he was already taking care of himself, and there was still room for strength to relieve the siege of Nan'an. (To be continued.) )
