The last three kingdoms

Chapter 433

The bright moon was in the sky, and the silver light all over the sky evenly sprinkled on Chang'an City, and the entire Chang'an City was shrouded in the moonlight.

Except for Changle Palace, the battles in other places have gradually subsided. Chang'an City, surrounded by silver, looks so quiet and tranquil, as if it has always been so peaceful.

Except for the troops stationed at various city gates and patrolling the streets, the rest of the Shu army is gathering in the direction of Changle Palace. Although the moon is as white as a bright moon, the Shu army still lit the torches, and there were long lines of torches. Winding through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, the scene is spectacular.

Most of the entire Chang'an city has been taken down, and now there is only Changle Palace that Sima Wang insisted on. It's just hope that the beast is still fighting, the general trend of the Wei army is gone, what's the point of guarding a Changle Palace?
Although someone suggested that Liu Yin take a break from the army temporarily, and it would not be too late to take care of Sima Wang tomorrow, after all, it was getting late, and the palace city of Changle was very strong, so there were many uncertainties in attacking at night.

But Liu Yin is going to take down Changle Palace in one go. The centipede is dead but not stiff. Keeping Sima Wang and more than 1 people in Chang'an City is always a disaster. Decided to get rid of Sima Wang overnight.

There are more and more Shu troops surrounding Changle Palace, and they have surrounded Changle Palace with three floors and three floors outside. Needles can't be inserted, and water can't be poured through. Looking from the palace wall of Changle Palace, there are densely packed The crowd is gathering.

Hu Shi secretly took a deep breath, the big city of Chang'an was lost, and the hope of defending Changle Palace was almost negligible. Hu Shi had no choice but to retreat to Changle Palace. It is impossible to defeat the Shu army, and Changle Palace has high palace walls anyway, which can be resisted temporarily.

However, this is also Hu Shi’s expedient measure. After all, although Changle has tall palace walls, it is not equipped with any defensive fortifications at all, such as rolling wooden stones and arrow tower ballistas, which are necessary for defending the city. There is nothing but bows and arrows, and these bows and arrows were brought by the retreating Wei soldiers, and they were consumed in the battle of defending the city. Each archer has only a few arrows on his body .

Although there are at least 2000 defenders in Changle Palace, Hu Shi knows very well that if the Shu army attacks with all its strength, Changle Palace will not be able to defend for long. The most optimistic estimate is If you can persist for three to five days, the most pessimistic estimate is that you may not be able to persist even today.

The morale of the current Shu army is high and the fighting spirit is high. On the other hand, the Wei army is sluggish and morale is low. With this state, how can we fight this life-and-death battle well.

"Captain, I'm afraid the city of Chang'an can't be defended. It's better to break out of the siege as soon as possible while it's dark. I'm afraid it will be difficult to even break out of the siege by dawn." Hu Shi said to Sima Wang.

Why didn't Sima Wang understand this point? To be honest, he was very unwilling, but what can he do if he is unwilling? From the defeat of Jieting, to the defeat of Wuzhangyuan, and to the defeat of Chang'an, Sima Wang, from complacency to desperation, only fought It was just three defeats, and these three defeats made Sima Wang's all-powerful military life end sadly.

If we say that when he left Luoyang at the end of last year, Sima Wang, who was just over sixty years old, marched into Guanzhong boldly with an aura of disobedience, but in just a few months, Sima Wang understood what is the Yangtze River. , getting old, he felt that he was really old, and at this stage, he really wanted to refuse to accept his old age.

At this moment, the Shu army that had been surrounded outside the palace gate suddenly flashed to both sides, made way from the middle, and dozens of people on fast horses came to the palace gate surrounded by dozens of people. Under the light, Sima Looking at it clearly, this man is white robed and silver armored, his face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like bright stars, and he is very handsome, but he saw the visitor smiling slightly at the palace gate, and said loudly: "General Sima, Chang'an is now gone. How can a mere Changle Palace be guarded for a long time? Why don’t the general surrender early, so that the subordinates who follow the general will not suffer from the sword.”

Sima Wang saw that this man was extraordinary, he was like a star in the Shu army, and said: "Your Excellency is Liu Yin, the Great General of Zhenbei?"

Liu Yin clasped his fist slightly and said, "I'm not talented, I'm here."

Sima Wang had long heard that Liu Yin was only a 27-year-old young man. He didn't expect to meet him today, and he looked younger than 27-[-]. He couldn't help but secretly sighed, and said: "I have received the kindness of the King of Jin, and I can only swear to die to repay ten thousand. One, if we are destined to meet General Liu today, I will have no regrets about my death."

Liu Yindao: "Knowing the current affairs is a hero. Now that the general trend is gone, why do you insist on it? With the general's reputation, even if you are ranked in the Han court, you will not lose the position of Hussar General!"

Sima Wang secretly gave a wry smile, how could he not know the current situation, it would be a dead end, but Sima Wang had no choice, since he was a member of the Sima family, many things he couldn't help himself,

"I am very grateful for General Liu's love, but the Sima family only has heroes who died in battle, and there are no bastards who bowed their knees. Here is the head of a certain person. If you have the ability, just come and get it." Sima Wang said proudly.

Liu Yin knew that even if the end of the road, Sima Wang would not be able to surrender. As the highest commander of the Wei State in the Yongliang area and a member of the Sima family, Sima Wang would never betray even if he died in battle.

Since the persuasion failed, there will be a strong attack. Liu Yin believes that with a small Changle Palace, it is impossible to stop the advance of the Shu army. long time.

Countless arrows formed a dense rain of arrows. Under the moonlight and firelight, the Shu army set up a ladder on the palace wall and launched a final strong attack on Changle Palace.

The Wei army resisted desperately, but the arrow rain of the Shu army was so powerful that it almost leaked mercury, and countless Wei soldiers fell on the palace wall.Now Wei Bing was already at an absolute disadvantage. The pitiful few bows and arrows could not form the scale of counterattack at all. Without heavy equipment and rolling wood and rocks, it was quite difficult to defend the palace wall of Changle Palace.

The Shu army even dispatched bed crossbows and continuous crossbow vehicles to provide powerful fire support for the dense arrow rain. The Shu army completely gained the upper hand. The number of casualties of the Wei army continued to increase, and the entire defense line had become acrid. Dangerous.
