Seoul's original name was Mianyang, and it was just a small county town adjacent to the Han River. However, after Zhuge Liang determined the defense system of Hanzhong, Seoul also jumped from an unknown small city to Hanzhong's top fortress city, Hele City (Chenggu).

Together, they became one of the twin constellations in the Han army's defense chain.

On the contrary, Nanzheng, the original seat of Hanzhong County, was finally defeated. In the defense system of the two cities of Hanle, Nanzheng no longer existed. After Wang Ping withdrew from Xingshi this time, he only defended Hancheng.

Hele City.

Wang Ping handed over the defense of Lecheng to Liu Min, and he led more than 10,000 Wei troops to retreat to Seoul.

This was the last defense system of the Shu army in Hanzhong. If Hanzhong fell, it would be equivalent to the complete fall of Hanzhong. Therefore, no matter how difficult the situation was, Wang Ping gritted his teeth and persisted.

The fall of Xingshi made Wang Ping unable to sleep and eat well. At this time, he retreated to Seoul. He knew his responsibilities clearly, so even if the Wei army surrounded the city, Wang Ping did not waver. He was determined to fight for the victory in Seoul.

Life or death, even if the battle is down to one soldier, as long as there is half a breath, the Wei army will not be allowed to easily enter the city.

These are not Wang Ping's heroic words, but what he warned himself from the bottom of his heart, no matter what, he will fight to the end.

The Wei army also regarded this place as the main battlefield. General Cao Shuang and General Xiahou Xuandu were both here. The Wei army set up a camp in the south of Seoul, facing Seoul across the Han River.

From the first day of the siege, the siege operations have not stopped. However, since the defense of Seoul has been carried out for more than 20 years, it is definitely not easy to conquer. With Wang Ping's iron will, the defenders who are united, and the

With sufficient food and supplies, any army that wants to attack Seoul will be unable to do so without paying a price of blood.

Cao Shuang also understood that Hancheng and Lecheng were two tough bones. To capture these two rock-solid cities, the Wei army used many siege equipment such as catapults, but the results were also very effective.

micro.

The general idea of ​​the Battle of Hanzhong is to hold the outer positions of Hanzhong to block the reinforcements of the Shu army, while the two cities of Hanle inside Hanzhong are planned slowly.

But first, the perimeter must be defended. With Xiahou Ba and Cao Liang on the other side of Yangping Pass, there is no problem in holding on, but the newly emerged Dingjun Mountain has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Sima Zhao and Guo Huai failed to defend Dingjun Mountain, causing Jiang Wei's reinforcements to rush into the Hanzhong Plain in an instant, completely disrupting Cao Shuang's deployment. The situation in Hanzhong had completely collapsed and was out of control.

.

After Jiang Wei entered Hanzhong, he did not rush to send troops to the second city of Hanle. Instead, he wandered outside the second city and nibbled at the small and scattered troops of the Wei army. Moreover, his movements were extremely fast, basically shooting with one shot.

In another place, some of the small units of the Wei army were surrounded by Jiang Wei's army without even reacting.

There is almost no suspense in such a battle, and even the resistance time is very short. This is completely a one-sided massacre.

Some Wei army troops realized that the situation was not good and wanted to escape from the station and join the main force. However, Jiang Wei was faster than them and basically made predictions in advance and sent troops to intercept the Wei army's escape route.

, As a result, those Wei troops who were trapped in the encirclement were basically unable to fly and were slaughtered by the Shu army.

Jiang Wei pursued the tactic of defeating each other, and the dispersion of the Wei army undoubtedly provided Jiang Wei with an excellent opportunity. The small groups of troops sent out became Jiang Wei's favor. Jiang Wei rushed back and forth to attack, only using

In one or two days, four or five small units of the Wei army were killed. The number ranged from a thousand to three or four thousand, but the total number exceeded 10,000. The Wei army suffered heavy losses.

The main reason why Jiang Wei has not moved the Wei army's camp in Seoul for the time being is his own lack of troops. Although Wang Ping's army serves as internal support, if he wants to shake the main force of the Wei army, he will at least have to spend a lot of time to arrive.

OK.

Jiang Wei still had a clear understanding of this. After the Dingjunshan defense line was breached, the Wei army's defeat was already doomed. The difference was how many Wei troops the Shu army would eat.

If the Wei army reacts quickly and shrinks its forces together in time, without giving the Shu army a chance to defeat them individually, then the casualties of the Shu army will be minimized, and at the worst, the whole division can be guaranteed to retreat.

However, the Wei army's troops in Hanzhong were too scattered before, so after encountering this unexpected situation, they were a little slow in responding, and Jiang Wei had already killed more than 10,000 people.

Both Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan are military generals. They have been familiar with military literature since childhood, but lack practical combat experience. Such people are naturally good at fighting against the wind, but the situation is not so good when fighting against the wind.

Urgent documents came from everywhere like snowflakes. Cao Shuang was overwhelmed and at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Although Xia Houxuan is stronger than Cao Shuang, it is difficult for him to make a decision in this chaotic situation.

The Wei army has been besieging Seoul for a long time. Although they have not been able to break the city, they have already consumed a lot of the defensive power in the city. If they can attack Seoul a few more times, it will be easy to capture Seoul.

But now that the city has not been broken, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and the Wei army will be faced with the crisis of being attacked from both sides. If not handled properly, the entire army may be destroyed.

So Yang Wei, who joined the army, proposed to immediately withdraw from the siege of Hancheng and join the Wei army in the Lecheng camp to the east to avoid being defeated by the Shu army one by one.

Cao Shuang was now at his wits end and had no choice but to follow Yang Wei's suggestion and retreat the Wei army's camp to the east, heading to Lecheng to join up with another Wei army.

As for the Xiahou Overlords at Yangping Pass, they were beyond reach due to the long distance. Xiahou Xuan sent people to inform them to evacuate, but the men sent out were intercepted by the Wei army on the way.

Jiang Wei was extremely interested in this letter. Jiang Wei did not stop Cao Shuang's army from withdrawing. With his current strength alone, it would be difficult for Cao Shuang to stay.

However, the Wei army that withdrew from Yangping Pass became the target of Jiang Wei's prey. Since they were rushing to Seoul, Jiang Wei was going to hold a welcome feast for them in Seoul to entertain these "distinguished guests"

.

During the Battle of Yang'an Pass, the Wei army relied on the strategic location of the city and made Jiang Wei suffer a lot. They were not rude to each other. This time Jiang Wei finally took advantage of the opportunity. He discussed with Wang Ping and decided to
