Yan Yan led three thousand Jingqian troops to Mianzhu.
Mianzhu is the "leader of ancient Shu and an important town in Yizhou". Mianzhu County was established in the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. It was originally the prefecture of Liu Yan. Later, due to the fire in Mianzhu City, the prefecture was moved to Chengdu, but the remaining Mianzhu City was also The city has high walls and thick walls, and it will not be easy to conquer.
In order to prevent the Jing army from invading Mianzhu, Liu Dun sent Li Yan as the vanguard officer, leading 10,000 troops and horses to go ahead and sit in the center.
At that time, Yan Yan led the Jingqian army to Mianzhu City.
Li Yan stood on the top of the city and saw that the person under the city turned out to be Yan Yan, a veteran general from Central Sichuan. With a bit of unbelievable anger: "Yan Yan! I have always respected your loyalty and courage, but I didn't expect that you would surrender to the Jing army and become Zhang Xiu's minions. Does the old general want to lose his security at night?"
Yan Yan said: "Zhengfang (Li Yan's word), you are also a person who knows the Spring and Autumn Period. Don't you know that Liu Zhang is a mediocre leader? He broke the contract and attacked Longxi without faith. I thought that I had a lot of money with the general, so I advised you to surrender the city early and stand together. Merit."
"Yan Yan!"
Li Yanyao pointed his finger and cursed angrily: "You shameless man, how dare you talk in front of me? When I come down, I will capture you alive and offer you to the King of Shu." After drinking, he turned around angrily and came down.
The city gate is open.
Li Yan was wearing battle armor and riding a war horse, coming with murderous intent.
Yan Yan picked up the knife and patted the horse and drove away.
Facing their former colleagues, both of them were merciless in their attacks, even if they took their own lives. With swords and spears flashing and war horses neighing, the two men fought extremely fiercely.
Forty or fifty rounds, no winner or loser.
Li Yan wanted to behead or even capture the enemy's vanguard before Liu Dun arrived, to dampen his spirit and improve the morale of the Shu army.
Yan Yan's battle was his first battle to surrender.
For him, this battle is very crucial. If he loses, even if he is alive, he will not be able to live up to the importance Zhang Xiu places on him, so he has to fight hard.
The two of them were gnashing their teeth, the veins in their necks were bulging, their muscles were strong, and they were killing each other.
After a hundred rounds of fighting, both of them had consumed most of their energy.
Li Yan was also shocked in his heart: "Old General Yan is nearly seventy years old, but he still has such terrifying combat power. He is truly a tiger general in the world!"
Yan Yan was equally surprised.
I had heard that Li Yan was very powerful before, but he had never fought against him before. After today's battle, Fang's reputation lived up to his reputation.
The two men were fighting in full swing.
In Jingqian's army, Chen Da saw that the two men were fighting in a stalemate. He was afraid that Yan Yan would lose his strength, so he raised his hand and ordered the whole army to prepare.
Seeing Chen Da's military order, the well-trained Jingqian army moved neatly, holding the reins with one hand, straightening their horses forward, and getting ready to charge into the formation with full fighting spirit.
With one movement, an astonishing murderous aura emerged.
Yan Yan and Li Yan were both shocked.
I had only heard that the Jingqian Army was an elite force secretly created by Zhang Xiu, the elite among the elite, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
"Jing Qianjun?"
Li Yan turned his surprised gaze to Yan Yan's face, "How dare Zhang Xiu hand over the Jingqian Army to your new general who surrendered to Shu?"
Yan Yan said: "Fangzheng, Prince Jing is the wise master of the world. In today's troubled times, only those who understand the current affairs are outstanding. Liu Zhang is mediocre and incompetent and will surely be defeated!"
"Don't teach nonsense!"
Li Yan's heart moved, and his expression changed instantly. He opened Yan Yan's knife and turned back to the city. Looking at Li Yan's back, Yan Yan was planning in her mind how to capture him alive.
In Shu, Li Yan is a rare loyal and brave general besides Zhang Ren. If he can surrender to King Jing and be reused, his future will be limitless.
"Old General Yan is really the most honest man in the world! He fought with Shu General Li Yan for more than a hundred rounds and yet he didn't show signs of weakness. He is really a tiger general!" Chen Da came over and saw that although Yan Yan was a little out of breath, he was still in high spirits and disappeared. Vain, sincere admiration.
Yan Yan felt ashamed and said: "If we cannot capture Li Yan alive, we will fail the king's expectations!"
Chen laughed and said: "The general thought wrong. As long as you don't make mistakes automatically, defeat is not a shame. The king said that victory and defeat are common affairs for military strategists. Even the Qin general Bai Qi and the military immortal Han Xin also suffered defeats."
Yan Yan laughed, turned around and saw a small valley on the left. Suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he said, "General Chen, Li Yan is a loyal and loyal general in Shu. If he can surrender, his achievements will not be small."
Chen Daxi said: "General, does he have any good ideas?"
Yan Yan nodded: "There is a valley on the left. The general will ambush his troops in the valley tonight and use them as a stumbling block. If we fight again tomorrow, I can fake defeat and lead him into the valley, and I can capture him with a surprise attack."
Chen Da looked towards the valley to the left and nodded.
The next day.
Yan Yan led the army to fight, and Li Yan went to fight.
Standing on the horse, Yan Yan looked at Li Yan: "Fangzheng, what I said yesterday, how about Sidu?"
Li Yan pointed his gun at Yan Yan: "Rebellious general Yan Yan, don't even think about disrupting the morale of our army. If you come here today, I will fight with you to see the gun!" He said and shot him.
Yan Yan also held a knife to greet him.
The two fought for fifty rounds, but it was still hard to decide the outcome, so they found a flaw, pretended to be defeated, and fled to the valley. How could Li Yan let him go? He immediately rode after him.
He led his army into the valley, but Yan Yan was nowhere to be seen. Looking around, he suddenly realized.
He hurriedly turned around and retreated. In front of him, Chen Da led the Jingqian Army to block the way.
On the top of the mountain, Yan Yan shouted: "Fangzheng, strong crossbows are already waiting on both sides of the valley. If we don't drop them early, we will be pierced by random arrows and die."
Li Yanshen raised his gun and pointed it at Yan Yan: "I'm a living person, Yan Yan! Take your life!" He shouted, riding his horse, he was about to rush over and fight Yan Yan.
At this time, a tripping rope bounced up from the ground.
The horse lost its front hoof and sent Li Yan flying. The ambush troops had already rushed forward, suppressed Li Yan, and bound him tightly.
Yan Yan laughed and said, "Fang Zheng, you fell into my trap!"
Li Yan's face turned red and his neck became thick with anger.
Capturing the enemy's vanguard Li Yan alive, Yan Yan completed the task perfectly. Five days later, Zhang Xiu came with 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.
At the same time, Liu Dun also led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to Mianzhu in a mighty manner.
Inside and outside Mianzhu, people were shouting and weapons were floating. From a distance, the huge momentum seemed to have suppressed everything. Since this 100,000-strong army was formed by gentry tribes, they were arranged according to each family when setting up camp.
This resulted in the military accounts among the various tribes being scattered and disorganized.
Liu Dun's Chinese army tent was pitched in the middle, and outside was the Shu army in Liu Zhang's hands to protect his own safety. The news that Pioneer Officer Li Yan had been captured alive had spread throughout the military camp. Everyone's faces were ugly and they were sullen and did not dare to speak.
"It's really unlucky to kill a general before we go on an expedition!" A disciple of the noble family sat in the middle tent and complained, "I heard that Li Yan was quite powerful before, but I didn't expect that he could not even defeat a seventy-year-old man because of his reputation. .”
Fei Guan, Li Yan's friend and colleague, said angrily: "What you say is easy. Who doesn't know that Yan Yan is getting stronger and stronger? If he has the courage, will he dare to fight in front of the battle tomorrow?"
The disciple was so young and energetic that he stood up and glared at Fei Guan: "How old is Dang Yizhuang? No matter how old Dang Yizhuang is, he is still seventy years old. I will learn from him tomorrow."
"Debo!" When Liu Dun saw that this person was the descendant of the Yang family of a large family in Sichuan, Yang Zhong, whose nickname was Deborah, he persuaded him, "Since we are fighting against the enemy together, we must work together and don't act out of anger!"
"Humph!" Yang Zhong snorted coldly and said nothing.
Liu Dun was so angry that he gritted his teeth and held back.
