Eight hundred and fifty Wu Ban surrendered

The battle ended like this.

The 30,000 troops led by Yan Yan, including infantry and 100 warships, were wiped out.

There were only more than 3,000 captured Shu soldiers, and there were probably only hundreds of lucky people who escaped by swimming. All the rest were killed on the battlefield, or were injured and killed by the advance Wei army after being killed.

The generals of the Shu army, Yan Yan, were killed in large numbers in battle. More than one hundred officers were found alone, and the camp was basically burned down and everything was burned to death.

After one battle, the main force of the Shu army was destroyed and the Wei army achieved a brilliant victory, which was a proof of the status that Le Jin had always longed for.

However, when he learned about Yan Yan's last battle reported by Li Dian, Le Jin was silent for a while, and followed Li Dian to Yan Yan's coffin and saluted him.

"Are a real warrior."

Le Jin expressed his respect to Yan Yan and the Shu army soldiers who died in decisively with him, personally presided over the ceremony of burying them, and then led the army forward without looking back.

Brave and unyielding people deserve respect because their integrity is noble.

But the enemy is not worth remembering, and everyone who stands in front of the Wei army will die.

Le Jin's pace will not stop, and the pace of Wei army's progress will not stop.

Their target was Chengdu, Liu Zhang, who destroyed Shu Han, occupied Yizhou, and ended the division.

For this, we will pay no expense.

On the first day of March of the second year of Yande, Le Jin led the main force of the Wei army to cross Wu County and enter the Yufu County area where the Shu army's defense line is located.

The pioneer Li Dian fought a battle with the Shu Han defenders near Yufu County, defeating more than a thousand Shu Han defenders and opening up the road to Yufu.

Before Yufu, the Shu army had no defense line. The Wei army advanced side by side, forming a strong impact on Yufu.

After the main force was destroyed, the Shu army defenders who were left behind Yufu had only 20,000 combat soldiers, and Le Jin's letter of persuasion to surrender had been sent to Yufu in advance.

At this moment, Yu Fu's supreme military commander naturally became Wu Ban.

After learning that Yan Yan died in battle and the destruction of the main force of the Shu army, Wu Ban almost fainted and forced himself to do not fall down. After reading Le Jin's more gentle wording, Wu Ban almost said that he persuaded surrender.

Le Jin said that Yan Yan died unyieldingly and the entire Shu army was wiped out, which was not the situation he wanted to see.

He admired Yan Yan's integrity, but disagreed with his approach. He hoped that Wu Ban would consider the people and soldiers in Shu and not repeat Yan Yan's mistakes.

Yan Yan's main force was wiped out. Can Yu Fu, the defender with less than 20,000 troops, face the main force of the 50,000 Wei army?

Le Jin asked Wu Ban to think carefully. He gave Wu Ban two days to make a decision. When the two days came, he would definitely attack. If he wanted to surrender, it would be too late.

His patience and Emperor Wei's tolerance were limited.

This is Wu Ban's last chance.

When the news reached Yufu, the Shu army had already had a great morale and people were in a state of chaos, because a few defeated troops who fled from Wu County were saying that Yan Yan was defeated and the entire army was wiped out. The battle had already been lost and they were finished.

Originally, Wu Ban treated this news as a disaster for the morale of the army and was about to lead his troops to see the situation, but before he set out, the Wei army's letter of persuasion was delivered.

Now, Wu Ban had to believe it and faced this situation.

In short, it's still those two words - it's over.

Yan Yan lost the main force in one battle, Yu Fu had only nearly 20,000 defensive forces, and only more than 30 naval warships were left.

Although there were more than 50,000 civilians and auxiliary soldiers transporting grain, Wu Ban had no confidence in winning the battle against the main force of the Wei army's 50,000 troops.

Wu Ban still understands the difference between civilians and auxiliary soldiers and regular soldiers. Even if these people are used as cannon fodder, they will not be worthy of it. At most, they will die, blocking the river and preventing Wei army ships from passing through.

There is no other way.

Now the news that Yan Yan died in battle and the main force was wiped out. The whole army was panicked and everyone was in danger. They had no courage or preparation to fight at all. The defense also stagnated. The Wei army, facing the embarrassment of the army, Wu Ban was as ignorant as an ant on a hot pan.

Two days passed, and Wu Ban still did not make a decision. Le Jin shook his head and decided not to wait anymore. He ordered the Wei army to attack Yu Fu.

The main force of the Wei army was dispatched to attack the Shu army's camp separately. The navy and infantry advanced together, and used stone catapults and land battles to defeat the Shu army's army formation and the Dazhai, and destroyed the seventeen Shu army's camps in a row, and sang a high song.

The Shu army had no intention of fighting. From officers to soldiers, people were panicked and their morale was low. Once they were contacted, they were defeated like a mountain. It didn't take much effort from the Wei army to push them all the way. Moreover, the number of Wei soldiers was far greater than the number of Shu army soldiers, so it was not difficult to push them all the way.

In this way, the surrounding areas of Yufu County were almost punished and seized by the Wei army. Yan Yan's Yufu defense line was basically destroyed. The Shu army suffered countless losses and lost generals. The captured soldiers and civilians had more than 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, and a large amount of food, grass and supplies were seized.

Basically, all the things Yan Yan didn't have time to use were captured by the Wei army.

The last remaining defeated generals of the Shu army retreated to Baidi City and Qutang Pass, and defended the city in seclusion to resist the Wei army's attack.

After that, the Wei Navy wiped out the Shu Navy and seized control of the water. The infantry advanced to the Qutang Pass, attacked Qutang Pass fiercely, and prepared to further capture Baidi City and open the road to Shu.

The famous name of Baidi City is not weaker than that of later generations at this moment, but the point of paying attention to Baidi City is different from that of later generations.

Later generations paid attention to Baidi City because Liu Bei died here. People at this moment paid attention to Baidi City because it was built by Gongsun Shu.

During the Xinmang period, Gongsun Shu seizures the central part of Shu. Because he discovered "white Qi" here, he regarded it as auspicious for the "Baidi Revival" and called himself "Baidi Son", trying to retake Liu Bang's "Chin Emperor's Son", so he built a city here, called Baidi City.

Of course, this Bai Emperor's son is not as good as the Chi Emperor's son, and it is difficult for the copycat to surpass the original ones.

So he lost.

But Baidi City has remained, and Qutang Pass still exists.

On the south of Baidi City, the Yangtze River cuts across Qiyao Mountain to form Qutang Gorge. There is a Qutang Pass at the entrance of Qutang Gorge. The two mountains confront each other and run through the river. The danger of Qutang Pass is as famous as Jiange Pass and is a must-fight place for military strategists.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu State carried out many military operations here. Qutang Pass also appeared at that time and has been used to this day.

Guo Jia first discussed when analyzing the battle with Le Jin, saying that the Shu army could not place its main force in these places and not pull it out, otherwise it would be too difficult for them to attack these dangerous areas.

Fortunately, Yan Yan did not disappoint Guo Jia, and he attacked bravely.

Now Wu Ban has led a group of fearless defeated generals to defend Qutang Pass against the attack of the Wei army, and his resistance is no longer comparable to the previous 50,000 troops.

The Wei army often set up stone catapults to attack Qutang Pass with thunder and fierce ignition tanks. The Qutang Pass defenders had long lost their fighting will and could not insist on resisting the Wei army's fierce attack. Qutang Pass was then seized by the Wei army.

When Qutang Pass was lost, Baidi City faced the attack of the Wei army, and the throat that was guarding the road into Shu lost all the barriers and was acquired by the Wei army. Wu Ban trapped the lonely city and stationed in Baidi City with two thousand remaining soldiers, looking at the Wei army all over the mountains in despair.

"General, will we die here?"

Wu Ban's personal soldiers couldn't help but ask Wu Ban questions.

Wu Ban looked at the battle flags of the Wei army and the Wei army all over the mountains, looked up at the sky, and sighed.

"What's the point of the country if it's going to perish?
