If this is true, Zhong Hui had nothing to worry about. Although Dazhong is not a dangerous place, the surrounding terrain can completely protect Dazhong. Even if the Wei army wants to attack, they must first occupy the outer position of Dazhong first.

Relying on the dangerous situation and solid defensive positions on the periphery, Zhong Youyou will be sure to fight at least two or three times the Wei army. Even if he can't resist, Zhong Youyou still has a way out. After all, the Wei army has only a little force. It is almost impossible to form a tight encirclement around Dazhong. The Shu army can break out of this encirclement at any time.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend, this is the capital that Zhong Zhi is not panicked when facing a strong enemy. There are several retreat paths in Dazhong. Even if the Wei army wants to blockade, it is not easy. After all, they do not have enough troops to block the encirclement, and Zhong Hui has great confidence in this.

So Zhong Hui ordered that if the enemy does not move, we will not move, the troops of various units of the Shu army are ready to defend and enter the battle at any time. If the Wei army does not come to attack, then they will waste it like this, to see who can consume it.

It is impossible to lure the Shu army into battle. This is not the first time Zhong Hui has fought with the Wei army. He has already experienced the power of the Wei cavalry. Giving up his strong defensive position and seeking field battle with the Wei cavalry is simply a moth to the fire and seeking death. Such a stupid thing is not something Zhong Hui can do.

Although the Wei army attacked very suddenly, this battle was inevitable. Zhong Hui had already been mentally prepared. Zhong Hui was ready to fight in Dazhong. So although the incident happened suddenly, Zhong Hui was prepared and would not have lost his position because of this.

However, the deployment of the Wei army was a bit unexpected this time. It only marched to the periphery of Dazhong and did not directly launch an attack on Dazhong. It is unknown whether the Wei army had any other means to succeed him.

If the Wei army did not come to attack, although Zhong Hui would not take the initiative to counterattack, he would not blindly carry out **. He immediately sent people to Wudu and Hanzhong to find out the situation there and see if they were also attacked by the Wei army.

As a result, the sent out quickly returned and reported an extremely important news to Zhong Hui. A group of Wei troops advanced from the Qishan Road, but they did not directly attack the adjacent Wujie, but detoured to the southwest and headed south along the Baishui River, with an unknown purpose.

When Zhong Hui heard this, he was shocked. If the Wei army went south along Baishui, there was only one purpose, which was to go to Yinping Bridge to plagiarize Zhong Hui's retreat and block him completely in Yinping.

The Yinping Bridgehead is a key throat connecting Yinping and Jiange, and it is also a guarantee for Zhong Hui to advance and attack and defend. Once the bridgehead is lost, the consequences are unimaginable. Zhong Hui will not only lose its connection with Shuzhong, but also fall into the three sides of the Wei army.

Obviously, this is the encirclement tailored by the Wei army for Zhong Hui. After the Wei army arrived at Gansong and Qiang Road, it was delayed in launching an attack because the troops rushing to Yinping Bridgehead were not in place, so they were on the periphery. After another Wei army captured the Bridgehead, the Wei army's attack might start.

Zhong Hui immediately looked serious, and the importance of Yinping Bridgehead was naturally self-evident. Zhong Hui certainly knew this, but the Yinping Bridgehead was located on the south side of Yinping, far away from the front line. At least in Zhong Hui's view, Shu Kingdom had Dazhong and Wu Street on its first line of defense against Wei, so this place would be the target of the Wei army's attack. The other side of Yinping Bridgehead was naturally farther away, and it should be safe and sound for the time being.

Therefore, although Zhong Hui was stationed some soldiers and horses on the Yinping Bridgehead, the scale was not large. If the Wei army's left guard camp went to attack the bridgehead, the bridgehead would definitely not be able to defend it.

Once the bridgehead is lost, the entire Dazhong and even Yinping Shu army will be completely isolated and helpless. Once there is no way out, the morale of the Shu army will be in chaos, and Dazhong will not be able to defend it for a long time.

Zhong would have the determination to stick to Dazhong because he had a way out. If he really lost, he could retreat from Yinping Bridge to Jiange and retreat without worries. The entire Dazhong army had an extremely relaxed mentality. If he really couldn't beat it, he could still run away.

But now that the rear road is cut off, there is no way to escape if you want to run away. This long-distance attack by the Wei army was a heavy blow to the Shu army in Dazhong, which was equivalent to extinguishing all their vitality.

There is no way out and no reinforcements, and the situation on earth is worrying when there are more than the number of Wei troops on the three sides.

When he thought of this, Zhong Hui felt a chill on his back. He had already smelled the danger. This was a dead end. If Zhong Hui continued to stick to the slap, it would inevitably lead to the destruction of the entire army.

Never sit and wait for death!

After realizing the current situation, Zhong Hui made a quick decision and made the decision to withdraw his troops. Since Dazhong has become a dead land, there is no point in continuing to stay here. He must find a way to bring these 25,000 people out of the desperate situation.

But the biggest problem now is the Ruiqi battalion stationed in Gansong and Qiang Road. They attacked the Shu army in Dazhong from both sides. The Shu army was defending with danger, so the Ruiqi battalion did not dare to attack easily. However, if the Shu army withdrew from Dazhong, the Wei army would definitely not be indifferent.

The speed of the cavalry is several times that of the infantry. Once the Wei army's Rui cavalry battalion discovers that the Shu army evacuates from Dazhong, it will definitely pursue it in large numbers. If both sides compete for speed, the Shu army will have no chance to escape from the Wei army's horse hooves.

Therefore, retreating also requires a plan. If you want to escape from the Wei army's double-team, Zhong Hui must make some plans.

And more importantly, the Wei army took action one step earlier than the Shu army. When the scouts of the Shu army discovered that the Wei army was heading south along Baishui, they were not far from the Yinping Bridgehead. The Shu army was a back-attack, so they would definitely not be able to compete with the Wei army.

I am afraid that when the Shu army arrived at the Yinping Bridgehead, the Wei army had already captured the bridgehead in advance and blocked the only passage.

Yinping Bridge is a suspended suspension bridge built in Baishui Canyon. Below is a deep abyss. Not to mention that the Wei army sent more than 10,000 people to attack Yinping Bridge, the Wei army only needed to send a few suicide squads to destroy Yinping Bridge, which was equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the Shu army.

It would be very difficult to build a bridge between this mountain canyon.
