Wei Yan dispatched troops very quickly. After capturing Daling County, he did not rest on the spot, but immediately marched to Jinyang, the seat of Bingzhou.
As soon as the Han army came out of Wenshui, the Wei army in Daling County had already sent people to Jinyang to report the news.
Just——
They did not expect that the Han army would advance so quickly.
September 20, afternoon.
Jinyang City.
When he learned that the Han army had arrived in central Jin, Chen Tai, the governor of Bingzhou, did not panic.
He first sent several groups of scouts to Yanmen, Shangdang, Hedong, and the capital Luoyang to let everyone know that the Han army had arrived in Jinzhong.
Of course, especially let Luoyang know the news.
As long as Luoyang gets the news, it will definitely send more troops to Jinzhong immediately, and at the same time, surrounding counties will send reinforcements in time to support Jinyang.
However, Chen Tai reacts quickly and Wei Yan reacts even faster.
Just as Jinyang's waiters left, the Han army led by Wei Yan had already reached the gates of Jinyang City.
"Report!"
"Report!"
A junior high school student hurriedly came in from outside and said eagerly: "Shu Army, Shu Army is here."
"Why are you panicking?" Chen Tai scolded.
After the principal calmed down, Chen Taicai asked: "How many people from the Shu army came?"
"Countless, there should be tens of thousands of people." The small school responded.
Chen Tai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly led a group of soldiers and ran towards the city.
Outside Jinyang City.
Wei Yan stood in front of the formation. He did not go to set up camp first, but as soon as he arrived at Jinyang City, he took up a posture and intended to launch an attack on Jinyang City.
"General!"
As soon as Chen Tai arrived at the city, a deputy general said: "The leader of the Shu army is former general Wei Yanye."
Hiss——
Chen Tai was naturally a little frightened when he heard that it was Wei Yan.
In these years of chaos in the Three Kingdoms, all the famous generals who have been galloping around the world have either grown old or died. Wei Yan has a place among the famous generals who are still active on the battlefield.
"Chen Taipifu!"
While Chen Tai was talking to the deputy general, Wei Yan at the bottom of the city shouted loudly: "Wei Yan is here, why don't you quickly open the city and surrender?"
Wei Yan's voice was like a loud bell, and he shouted loudly. The Wei troops at the top of the city were shocked and couldn't help but be shocked. After all, this was a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Of course, Chen Tai had also seen Wei Jun's panic.
"Wei Yanpifu!"
Chen Tai also shouted loudly: "Don't be so arrogant. Our Jinyang City has high walls and deep walls, and there are tens of thousands of elites here. If you don't want to die, just dismount and surrender." He said with a deliberate sneer: "A moment
If you hesitate, you will be killed by thousands of arrows piercing your heart."
"Bah!"
Wei Yan spat, unwilling to continue fighting with him for words, and then pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly: "Attack the city!"
In an instant, the shouts of 20,000 Han troops shook the sky, and they all screamed and went straight to Jinyang City to kill.
But!
There is no advantage in cavalry attacking the city. The Han cavalry only charged for a while under the city, and then retreated after hearing the sound of gold from the rear.
In this first charge, Wei Yan only wanted to scare the Jinyang defenders, rather than actually starting to attack the city.
"Wei Aiqing!"
As soon as he returned to the camp, Liu Chan asked anxiously: "If the Wei army holds on to the city, and our army is all cavalry, what strategy should we use to capture the city?"
Liu Chan was really worried, because he could see very clearly in the charge just now that the cavalry attacking the city were full of food.
What to do?
The Wei army has a solid city, while the Han army is all cavalry.
Cavalry is more suitable for fighting in the wild, but not suitable for attacking cities.
He suddenly felt that this decision to send troops to Jinzhong was the next best thing.
But Wei Yan said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised. Wei Jun's move has been anticipated by me." He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Within three days, I will capture Jinyang."
"Oh???" Liu Chan was shocked when he heard this.
Using cavalry to attack the city, Wei Yan seemed confident and not worried at all.
Liu Chan originally wanted to ask how Aiqing planned to attack the city.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
As the saying goes, don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you doubt them.
Since Wei Yan has been chosen as the coach for this battle, even if he is the emperor, it is better not to cause trouble to Wei Yan and let him perform freely.
That night.
Wei Yan then surrounded Jinyang City and did not intend to let any more Jinyang soldiers leave the city.
The next morning.
The Han army did not launch an attack on Jinyang. Except for some soldiers who were on duty and guarding various places in the camp, the remaining soldiers were resting in the camp.
This made Liu Chan even more puzzled.
He had never heard of cavalry attacking a city.
If you want the cavalry to attack the city, you have to ask the cavalry to abandon their horses and change their position, and then use siege equipment to attack the city.
However, this time the Han army did not carry large siege equipment.
If you want to attack a city, don’t you still need to prepare siege equipment?
No——
In the entire camp, there was no sign of building siege equipment, which made Liu Chan a little puzzled.
If Wei Yan is like this, how can Jinyang be captured?
Liu Chan wanted to ask Wei Yan several times, but in order not to mess up Wei Yan's deployment, he had to suppress his inner worry.
Just wait and see.
Wei Yan already said last night that he would capture Jinyang within three days.
After a day of suffering, Liu Chan returned to the camp and could not sleep for a long time.
Because he is really worried. After all, this is a war, not playing house.
And he didn't dare to just besiege here without attacking. After all, Cao Wei's military strength was superior to that of the Han Dynasty. If Cao Wei's reinforcements arrived, their 30,000 cavalry would not be beaten.
There is a more important reason. In order to speed up the march, they did not carry a baggage team. Instead, each soldier brought half a month's worth of compressed biscuits as military rations.
In other words, they must capture Jinyang within half a month, otherwise they will have to retreat to the Hetao area, otherwise they will collapse without a fight.
Torture!
Throughout the night, Liu Chan kept tossing and turning, thinking about how to resolve the current situation. He kept tossing and turning until late at night before he fell into a deep sleep.
But not long after he fell asleep, Liu Chan was suddenly awakened from his dream by a cry of death.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Hearing the deafening shouts of killing outside, Liu Chan got up and rushed out of the camp. As soon as he left the camp, he was so frightened that his face turned livid.

Behind the camp, a raging fire has been lit.
The soldiers in the camp fled in all directions, shouting and running.
"Your Majesty!"
Nuoqi, who was also awakened by the shouts of killing, hurried over and shouted at the same time: "Escort, escort, protect your majesty!"
Hearing Nuoqi's voice, Liu Chan, who was originally nervous, suddenly became heartbroken. He picked up a spear, pulled Nuoqi and rushed out.
Liu Chan never dreamed that the Wei army's reinforcements would come so quickly. From a distance, he could see that the rear camp had been surrounded by the Wei army, and at the same time, shouts of killing could also be heard from the rear camp.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The camp with more than 20,000 people still covers a wide area, so Liu Chan, who is located in the middle of the camp, can only see the fire in the back camp, and can only hear the noisy shouts of killing and the clash of weapons.
As for the middle camp and the front camp, except for some soldiers who were rushing to support the rear camp, although the remaining soldiers looked a little panicked, they did not run around.
"Quick!"
Liu Chan glanced at the soldiers who were standing there, and said somewhat speechlessly: "Why are you so stunned? Go and support the rear camp."
"No!"
The nearby soldiers immediately agreed and ran to the rear camp.
Just as the rear camp was enjoying the killing spree, lights suddenly brightened up at the top of Jinyang City not far away. Chen Tai, who hurried over, was also a little surprised to see a sea of fire in the distance.
"General!"
A junior high school student said excitedly: "The reinforcements are coming."
Isn’t this nonsense?
The rear camp of the Shu army was blazing with fire, and the shouts of killing could be heard clearly. This was naturally the arrival of reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty.
But Chen Tai asked: "When did the reinforcements arrive?"
The little schoolmaster said: "Half an hour ago."
At this time, Lieutenant General Pan Ying stepped forward and asked: "General, why don't we go out of the city and attack the Shu army from front to back with the reinforcements?"
Pan Ying also watched for a while. The rear camp of the Shu army had been burned like this, and the shouts of killing and the sound of swords clashing made him extremely excited.
"Wait!" Chen Tai waved his hand and said: "It's dark and windy at the moment, so I don't know the situation yet, so I'd better take a look first before talking."
It was late at night, and reinforcements suddenly arrived.
Logically speaking, he could take the opportunity to rush out of Jinyang City, cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside, and completely defeat the Shu army.
But——
He always felt that something was not right there.
But Pan Ying said anxiously: "General, the reinforcements have arrived, and our army is attacking the Shu army from a flank, making it difficult for the Shu army to finish."
As a military general, Pan Ying only knew the fighter planes on the battlefield, which were fleeting.
At this moment, the Shu army's rear camp is in chaos. If they fight out from Jinyang at this time, the Shu army will immediately be in chaos.
"General!"
Pan Ying continued to urge: "This is the time to conquer Shu. How can the general waste it?"
"If the Shu army stabilizes its position," Pan Ying said anxiously: "Wouldn't the advantage that the reinforcements finally established collapse in an instant?"
Urged by Pan Ying, Chen Tai still stared at the battlefield outside the city.
"Wait!" Chen Tai suddenly raised his hand to signal his generals to be quiet.
"Escort!"
"Escort!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Chen Tai was immediately overjoyed. He heard clearly that although the Shu army camp was some distance away from Jinyang City, he could hear the shouts very clearly.
"Liu Chan is here?"
Chen Tai asked in surprise: "Did you hear it?"
When the generals heard the words, they all nodded in confirmation. The voice was very clear, and they naturally heard it very clearly.
Protect Your Majesty!
It turns out that the Emperor of Shu, Liu Chan, came to Jinyang.
This made Chen Tai extremely happy. Compared with defeating the invading Shu army, it was definitely not as tempting as capturing Liu Chan, the Emperor of Shu.
"Send the order!"
Chen Tai immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and said loudly: "Open the city immediately and follow me to capture Liu Adou, the Emperor of Shu."
"No!"
The generals immediately agreed upon hearing the words.
After a while, the gates of Jinyang City were opened, and Chen Tai led more than ten thousand Wei troops to fight out of Jinyang City. The Wei soldiers knew that there was a person they cared about in the Shu army camp ahead - the Emperor of Shu, Liu Chan.
Therefore, the morale of this Wei army is very strong.
After all, being able to capture the emperor of an enemy country is not something that happens often.
"Kill!"
Chen Tai took the lead, charging towards the Shu camp while shouting loudly: "Capture Liu Adou alive! Capture Liu Adou alive!"
In an instant, the sound of capturing Liu Adou alive rang through the night sky.
