Chapter 455
Yang Hu kept staring at the city from the top. The shouts of killing came one after another in the distance, and the flags of the Shu army could be seen from a distance.
Cao Liang ordered the city gates to be closed, and all Wei troops boarded the city to prepare to fight the Shu army.
Yang Hu said anxiously: "My father-in-law hasn't come back yet, why don't we wait?"
Cao Liang said in a deep voice: "We can't wait any longer. The Shu army is about to arrive in a moment. If we don't close the city gate, it is very likely that the Shu army will seize the city. Uncle, life and death are determined by fate. Something unexpected may happen to Mount Tai. I'm sorry!"
The Shu army was about to attack, and the chance of Xiahou Ba's survival was already very small. Cao Liang had no choice but to comfort Yang Hu in this way.
Yang Hu also knew that the current situation was urgent, but he still couldn't let go and lowered his head silently.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed Wei soldier pointed to the outside of the city and said to Yang Hu: "Yang joins the army, isn't that General Xiahou?"
Yang Hu quickly looked down, and sure enough, outside the city gate, he saw more than a dozen riders, all wearing Wei army uniforms. One of them, wearing black armor, wasn't it Xiahou Ba?
Yang Hu was overjoyed and was about to call Xiahou Ba to enter the city quickly, but saw Xiahou Ba swaying on his horse. Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell off the horse.
The people around Xiahou Ba quickly jumped off the horse and helped Xiahou Ba up from the ground, but at this moment Xiahou Ba was unconscious.
The pursuers of the Shu army behind them had already approached within a few hundred steps. Seeing that the city gate of Huangjinwei was not closed, and there was still a crack left, the Shu army became excited and ran towards the city.
They came from the gate and tried to seize the city gate.
Yang Hu shouted: "I'm going to save people!" He turned around and ran down the city. He took three steps and then jumped down the steps.
Cao Liang sighed softly. Since Xiahou Ba had already arrived outside the city, it was impossible for him to ignore him anyway. What's more, Xiahou Ba was Yang Hu's father-in-law. Even if the situation was critical, he had to rescue him first.
Yang Hu had already gone down to rescue people. Cao Liang immediately ordered the archers to prepare. Once the Shu army came within the range of the bow and arrow, they would immediately open their bows and release arrows to block the Shu army trying to attack the city.
Yang Hu almost ran all the way out of the city gate, but Xiahou Ba was not far outside the city gate. He quickly rushed forward and said eagerly: "Father-in-law"
Xiahou Ba had just been helped up by the deputy general beside him. He was still in a coma, but he was still breathing. The Shu army was about to rush forward. At this time, it was already too late to help Xiahou Ba back on his horse. Yang Hu Gu
Not wanting anything else, he carried Xiahou Ba on his back and ran towards the city.
You must know that Xiahou Ba is a tall and strong man, and the armor he wears is quite heavy. Yang Hu didn't even think about carrying it on his back. He gritted his teeth and ran back in one breath.
In the city.
The few Wei soldiers and Xiahou Ba's entourage who followed Yang Hu out of the city were guarding the left and right sides with swords and guns, guarding against the Shu soldiers who were about to pounce.
The Shu army had been chasing Xiahou Ba and his party for a long time. How could they easily let them enter the city? They pursued them desperately.
Cao Liang immediately ordered the arrows to be fired, and the arrows flew over the heads of Yang Hu and others, hitting the Shu soldiers who were rushing at the front. The Shu soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground one after another.
This undoubtedly bought Yang Hu and the others a lot of time. Yang Hu was so tired that he was out of breath, but he gritted his teeth and rushed into the city gate. Other Wei soldiers also entered the city one after another.
The Wei soldiers guarding the gate quickly closed the city gate, while the Shu soldiers who arrived later could only look at the gate and sigh.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Yang Hu seemed to have collapsed and could no longer take another step. He gently put Xiahou Ba down. At this time, Xiahou Ba also woke up, but his head was groggy.
When I arrived at Yanghu, I was still very puzzled: "Uncle... why are you here too?"
Seeing Xiahou Ba wake up, Yang Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Father-in-law, you have arrived in the golden siege. You don't have to worry about the pursuit of the Shu army anymore."
Seeing that Xiahou Ba was still very weak, Yang Hu ordered his soldiers to help him go to the camp to rest, and he immediately went to the city to assist Cao Liang in defending the city.
After all, the Shu army's pursuers were coming fiercely. If they took advantage of the situation and attacked the city, the Wei army would have to fight.
However, it was obvious that the Shu army was not ready to attack the city. They chased all the way and entered lightly. Naturally, they did not bring any siege equipment. They had been attacking desperately before, but they saw that the gate of Jinwei was not closed yet and wanted to rush forward.
They just robbed the city gate. Now that the city gate is closed and arrows are raining down on the city, they can only retreat to a stone's throw away and wait for the follow-up army to arrive.
Jiang Wei quickly arrived at the gates of Huangjinwei.
In fact, Jiang Wei chased Xiahou Ba all the way from the watershed. In order to annihilate as many Wei troops as possible, Jiang Wei pursued him all the way. Xiahou Ba retreated day and night, and Jiang Wei pursued him day and night.
, no matter how fast Xiahou Ba ran, Jiang Wei would always bite him behind him and would not let go at all.
Along the way, Jiang Wei did not know how many Wei soldiers he killed. But almost all the Wei soldiers who stayed behind did not escape the pursuit of the Shu army. Over the course of hundreds of miles, there were corpses all the way.
All over the fields.
However, Jiang Wei was somewhat regretful that he had not been able to capture the big fish Xiahou Ba, let alone allowing Cao Shuang to escape.
The biggest reason why the encirclement and annihilation of the Wei army failed was that the Golden Siege could not be defended. Although the Shu army was victorious, it also showed some flaws. However, Liu Yin, the guard of the Golden Siege, had already sacrificed his life for the country, so no one had this responsibility.
If he loses again, Jiang Wei will only sigh secretly.
After chasing the golden siege, the battle of Hanzhong has come to an end. The main force of the Wei army has fled eastward from Weixing County. Jiang Wei is beyond reach. The golden siege cannot accommodate many troops due to the small size of the city. Jiang Wei is already very tired of attacking the city.
Enthusiasm waned.
After all, Jiang Wei knows the defensive capabilities of Golden Siege better than anyone else. If the Shu army wants to attack by force, it will definitely pay a lot of casualties. Even if Golden Siege is captured, the number of enemies annihilated is not worth the number of casualties.
, Jiang Wei is definitely not willing to do such a lose-lose thing.
The Shu army won a complete victory in this battle, because attacking Golden Siege and paying a heavy price of casualties seemed to be superfluous.
No wise general would do such a thankless job again.
Jiang Wei glanced at Huang Jinwei for a few times, waved his hand, and loudly ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws his troops and retreats thirty miles."
Zhao Guang said with some reluctance: "Golden Siege is our Jihan territory. How can we retreat without taking it back?"
