Chapter 1673 Racing

It seems that Sima Lun has really withdrawn his troops. Although this army that was cut off is tenacious, the combat force is limited and it is difficult to support such a huge defense line. As long as the Wei army's offensive strength is greater, it is only a matter of time to destroy this army.

After Yang Hu had cleared the situation, he no longer had any reservations, but instead launched an attack with all his might, requiring the troops of each battalion to seize Linjin Pass in the shortest time and destroy the last resistance of the Jin army.

The Xiaoqi Camp and the Guoqi Camp gathered on the east bank of the Yellow River were already lined up. They just waited for the infantry troops to complete the breakthrough, and immediately crossed the Yellow River and entered the pursuit.

Now the trenches on the west bank of the Yellow River have not been filled yet, and the red-rejected antlers set up by the Jin army have not been cleared yet, and there is no room for cavalry to perform there, so no matter how anxious they are and eager to make contributions, they still have to wait patiently.

The infantry battalion, Changshui battalion and Zhongjian battalion had already divided into three groups, crossed the Yellow River, and launched a comprehensive attack on the Jin army's positions. The battle situation was extremely fierce.

If the Jin army's descendants were really blocking the attack, then their number would not be too large. Many Wei soldiers believed that this battle might be without any suspense. As long as they work harder, they can quickly take down Linjin Pass.

However, the real battle still made the Wei army difficult. Although the Jin army had insufficient troops to defend, they cleverly avoided some unimportant areas and even allowed the Wei army to conquer these places without caring about them. However, some positions related to the key defense were invincible and could not give in. This also made the Wei army spend a lot of effort and pay a considerable price of casualties when attacking.

The real backbone of the Jin army's defense line was Ya goalkeeper Su Kang. He braved the arrows to supervise the battle on the defense line, and ordered all the soldiers of the Jin army to retreat. Everyone had to take the blood and courage to fight to the death. They had to defend Linjin Pass with all their strength and strength.

Su Kang even set up a law enforcement team of hundreds of people behind the position, holding ring-headed swords. Anyone who retreated and fled would be killed, which was merciless.

Not all Jin soldiers had the courage to fight to the death. Many soldiers would have the idea of ​​being cowardly when they saw the situation of the war was unfavorable and wanted to escape. However, Su Kang's move completely blocked their retreat, because once they retreated and crossed the line, the executioners would ruthlessly slash them, and even gave them a chance to defend themselves.

Therefore, even if these soldiers are unwilling to do so, they can only turn into helplessness. If they don’t want to fight to the death, they will fight to the death. They will not be able to escape from death. It is better to fight to the death with the Wei army. Perhaps there will be a chance of life. Even if they die in battle, they can bring a cushion to the death.

Due to Su Kang's tenacious blockade, the Wei army's attack was repeatedly blocked. As long as Su Kang could hold on for a longer period of time, he could give Sima Lun's army some time to escape.

……………………………………………………………………

At this time, Simalun's army traveled from the road, and had already moved away from Linjin Pass, and headed rapidly towards Chang'an along the north bank of the Wei River.

Although Zhong Hui tends to switch to Liangzhou, Sima Lun decided to go back to Chang'an first to see the situation. After all, there are people in Chang'an City that Sima Lun is concerned about Sima Lun. Sima Lun is now indifferent to Sima Zhao's life and death, but he cannot give up his mother no matter what. As long as there is a glimmer of hope for rescue, Sima Lun will not give up easily.

Along the way, Sima Lun also contacted Fengyi's governor Hu Lie, Beidi governor Hu Fen and Anding's governor Zhou Tai. Chen said it was very good and asked them to give up the three counties in Beidi immediately and lead their troops to return to Chang'an with them.

After hearing the news of Tongguan's loss, the three generals knew that there was no meaning to defend the North, so they unanimously expressed to Simalun that they were willing to obey Simalun's orders, unite with Simalun's troops, and save Chang'an together.

But the closer we went west, the closer we were to Chang'an, the more frightened Sima Lun was, because he had discovered signs of large-scale activities of the Wei army on the south bank of the Wei River, and groups of cavalry were whistling by and heading towards Chang'an.

Even across the Wei River, Sima Lun could feel the strong hostility emitted by the Wei cavalry team. However, due to the Wei River, the Wei cavalry could not attack them across the river. At most, the Wei cavalry only gave a cold glance at the Jin army on the north bank, then quickly whipped forward, as if they were competing with the Jin army to see who could arrive in Chang'an City first.

In terms of speed, the Jin army was obviously unable to compare with the Wei army. The Wei army's cavalry was running at lightning speed, and when they were running at high speed, they were like lightning. In just a blink of an eye, they were already gone, making the Jin army soldiers far behind and desperate.

The Wei army on the south bank of the Wei River was obviously not the Central Army led by Yang Hu, but the Left Army of Deng Ai who had conquered Tongguan. Although they had strong hostility to the Jin army on the north bank, without the floating bridge, the north bank and the south bank would not be able to connect, so the two armies moved forward, but there was a wonderful situation of peace and stability.

After Deng Ai knew that the North Bank was Simalun's army, he still ordered the army to continue moving forward and aimed directly at Chang'an City.

If Deng Ai wanted to deal with Sima Lun, he could have built a floating bridge and after crossing the Wei River, he could have attacked the Jin army.

But there are some uncertain reasons here. After all, the Jin army evacuated very quickly, and the Wei army wanted to build a floating bridge, but it was really impossible to have no time. When their bridge was successfully built and crossed the Wei River, Sima Lun would have escaped long ago.

So Deng Ai simply gave up the idea of ​​crossing the river and attacking Chang'an. Anyway, judging by Sima Lun's march route, his army also returned to Chang'an. If Deng Ai's left army quickly arrived at the city of Chang'an and launched an attack on Chang'an, after Sima Lun's troops returned to Chang'an, I was afraid that the situation in Chang'an had changed drastically. Deng Ai also saw what Sima Lun's expression was like when he returned to Chang'an. Should he cry or laugh?

It is estimated that even if Sima Lun arrives in the north of Chang'an, he will have to worry about crossing the river. After all, Chang'an is on the south bank of the Wei River. If the Jin army wants to escape into Chang'an City, they must build a floating bridge on the Wei River. At this moment, the Wei army has already arrived at Chang'an City. How could they complete the crossing of the Wei River?

In the end, Sima Lun could only sigh at the river and look at Chang'an City from afar but could do nothing.
