Chapter 398: Besieging Chen Cang
"General Wang, you and I are working together in Chencang this time, and we should share the same hatred for the enemy, unite sincerely, and resist the strong enemy together." Su Yu was the first to mention.
Wang Hun just said coldly: "Su joined the army too much, this time the Shu people have gone north to settle down, attacked Xinping, and walked all the way to Jingshui, Chen Cang is only afraid that it will be difficult to have a war, and the Su army has brought 7,000 men and horses, and I feel a bit wasted." ”
Su Yu was unmoved, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of cheating, Liu Yin is a person with many tricks, according to a certain opinion, he marched from Anding with great fanfare, and there is a lot to do here." Chen Cang is a key pass on Guanlong Avenue, and it is only tied to the traffic in Hanzhong, which affects the whole body, and cannot be guarded against. ”
Wang Hun sneered and said: "Is Su joining the army because of the roundworm in Liu Yin's stomach?" According to a certain opinion, Chen Cang is solid, if Liu Yin sends troops to come, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, does Su Senjun really think that Liu Yin is an unwise person? ”
As if in response to Wang Hun's words, the Chinese officer hurried to the banquet and said with a slightly panicked expression: "General Qiyu, the Shu army has attacked the city. ”
Wang Hun's face was blue and white for a while, and he was really slapped in the face in seconds, and before his words fell, the men and horses of the Shu army had already attacked the city. Wang Hun stood up and said to Su Yu: "Su joined the army, since the enemy has come to attack, you and I will be destroyed!" ”
Su Yu smiled slightly, it seems that everything is under his control, Su Yu is quite complacent, but at present, the enemy is indeed the Wei army soldiers who need to defend the city to share the same hatred for the enemy, as for who has the highest merit, it still needs to be talked about after repelling the enemy's attack.
When Wang Hun and Su Yu rushed to the top of the city, they looked down, and their faces changed greatly. The Shu army is fierce. It was really unexpected. Under the entire Chencang City, there are a sea of people, and there is a vast and mighty city.
Once upon a time, such a huge army was only possessed by Cao Wei's side, and now the offensive and defensive situation of the entire Guanlong has changed, and the strength of the Shu army has grown unusually, and it has formed an absolute advantage in local areas, just like Chen Cangcheng at this moment. The Wei army only had the part of defense, and the initiative of attack was firmly held by others.
The brigade of the Shu army has just arrived under the city of Chencang, and did not immediately put into the attack, the siege of Chencang, is the front army and the five battalions of the left army, Fu Tong and Huang Chong jointly commanded, Chencang City is just a small city, a radius of only ten miles, 25,000 Shu troops rushed here, and soon surrounded the city of Chencang.
Originally, the plan of the Shu army was to go all out to capture Chencang. But since Liu Yin changed his strategy, Chen Cang is no longer the first target. And as a bait, it can't be attacked at this moment, if the Shu army takes Chencang as quickly as possible, then Wei's reinforcements are likely to no longer rescue Chencang, and Liu Yin's plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements will fall through.
Of course, if you don't fight against Chencang, there is no sense of urgency, and the reinforcements of the Wei army will not be in place in a very short time, so after the Shu army arrived at Chencang, they camped and went to the village, and after a little rest, Fu Yan immediately ordered to put into the attack on Chencang.
Although the city of Chencang is small, the solidity of the city wall is comparable to that of the first-class county city and the state city, and the periphery of the entire city wall is no longer made of ordinary rammed earth but is made of stone, and the large section of the city wall is made of stone, and the degree of solidity is incomparable.
In the shouting and killing, the infantry of the Shu army had already rushed up bravely, and under the cover of a feather arrow, the Shu soldiers pushed siege vehicles and carried ladders to attack the towering Chencang city wall.
Wang Hun glanced at it contemptuously, he was full of confidence in Chen Cang's defensive strength, not to mention that the Shu army had more than 20,000 men and horses, even if it was an army of 100,000, if he wanted to break through Chen Cang, it would be a pipe dream. He immediately ordered to mobilize all the defenders, including the men and horses brought by Su Yu just now, to devote themselves to the defensive battle. The morale of the entire Wei army was high and full of enthusiasm, and Wang Hun personally commanded the front line, which undoubtedly raised the morale of the Wei army to an unprecedented height.
The arrows on the city were like rain, and the rolling wood and stones were rolling down from the city in countless numbers, as if these weapons were cheap things, and the cost was negligible, and the arrows and stones were intertwined to form an unbreakable line of defense, suppressing the Shu army under the city.
I have to say that Chencang's garrison is extremely perverted, a small city can accumulate such a strong army and countless defensive weapons, and now Chencang's garrison has increased from 3,000 to 10,000. Although more than 10,000 people is not such a terrible number, compared to the rock-solid Chen Cangcheng, it is completely like a tiger, and Chen Cangcheng clearly saw the strength of the defense force after obtaining this new force.
The first wave of attacks of the Shu army was somewhat tentative, just to see how strong the defense force of Chencang, which was known as the first fortified city in Guanlong, was. Under the dense barrage of arrows, the first wave of the attack quickly ended in failure, and the Shu army retreated in disarray after abandoning countless corpses.
"It seems that the general's concern is not unreasonable, with the solidity of Chen Cangcheng, it is not easy to take it down easily." Huang Chong sighed, the strength of Chen Cangcheng's defense did indeed leave a deep impression on the Shu people.
Fu Yan's face was cold, although Liu Yin ordered not to break through Chen Cang, but at the same time, he also ordered to maintain a certain amount of pressure on Chen Cang, and this degree needs to be mastered by Fu Yan.
Fu Yan did not put all his troops up at one time, but sent several waves of death squads to attack in turn, although the scale of the attack was not large, but the continuous intensity was not low at all, so that the entire battle of Chencang must be a protracted result.
Chen Cangcheng's weapons are very sufficient, whether it is bows and crossbows, or rolling wood and stones, they seem to be inexhaustible, inexhaustible, the Shu army has taken turns to attack, has invested more than ten waves of attacks, but even Chen Cangcheng did not touch the city, in Wang Hun's eyes, this is the defeat of the Shu people, seeing that the sky is gradually darkening, the first day of the war is already nearing the end. Such a result made Wang Hun very excited, it seems that the Shu army is not invincible, Chen Cangcheng is impregnable, and it is not easy to shake it. Wang Hun looked at the retreating Shu army, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This kind of result is also what Liu Yin needs, he believes that Sima Wang will definitely not sit idly by and watch Chen Cang being besieged and indifferent, he will definitely send a large army to come to the rescue, his plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements, is going on in an orderly manner, everything is in place, just waiting for the fish to bite the hook.
