Zhang Fei's troops came to the city of Jiangzhou, and Zhang Da and Fan Jiang came forward to challenge them. The two fought at the city gates at the top of their lungs. Yan Yan on the city wall ordered that the gates be guarded and no fighting was allowed.
Zhang Da and Fan Jiang also felt strange. They were obviously the assistant generals in charge of military supplies. Why did the three generals take a fancy to them and sent them forward to clear the way many times in the past two months.
Yan Yan avoided the battle and refused to leave the city. Zhang Fei was a little impatient after stationed outside the city for two days. He called Xi Su and asked, "Do you know the details of this old Yan Yan? Before, all the counties looked at the wind and surrendered, but this person is so unwilling." Knowing the current affairs, there is no news even about Li Yi."
Xi Su answered with clasped fists: "Although Yan Yan is old, he has a very strict command. General Li may not have found the opportunity."
Zhang Fei nodded, "It's not easy for Lan Ziyu to recruit these soldiers. If the damage to Jiangzhou is too great, since there is no news from Li Yi, we have to rely on ourselves. I have to find a way."
"The three generals have a plan?" Xi Su asked curiously.
Zhang Fei shook his head violently: "How can it be so fast? I can't compare to the military advisor and Lan Ziyu..."
From the morning to noon of the next day, Zhang Da and Fan Jiang were scolded until their mouths were dry. Not far away, Zhang Fei had been "drinking" from morning to now. These situations were all seen by Yan Yan on the city gate. , but he remained unmoved out of caution, while Li Yi beside him was waiting for the opportunity.
Not long after, the soldiers arrayed outside the city suddenly gathered. Zhang Fei's entourage brought his mount Wu Zui. Zhang Fei got on the horse in a drunken state. He shook his snake spear and pointed to the northwest. It was possible to bypass Jiangzhou and enter directly. Shu means.
Zhang Fei and the cavalry opened the way in front, followed by thousands of main infantry. The baggage and grain team was at the rear, and was only guarded by two hundred cavalry.
Yan Yan on the tower looked curious. Even if Zhang Fei circumvented Jiangzhou, this formation was really dangerous. The cavalry and infantry were out of touch. Not only were the baggage and grain and grass at the end, but there were too few soldiers and horses to protect him. If they were cut off and destroyed, Zhang Fei's troops would probably starve to death.
When Yan Yan was confused, a general named Zhao beside him shook his head: "I have heard that Zhang Fei has a bad temper and is addicted to alcohol. He was unable to fight in Jiangzhou City today, and he actually ran away like this. However, this formation is really yes..."
Another general named He teased: "Zhang Fei has been drinking since morning. No matter how good he is, he will be drunk. How can he restrain the team?"
Li Yi didn't know what Zhang Fei meant. He thought that he would give up Jiangzhou and go to Shu? How to solve the subsequent food and grass problem? If Jiangzhou is not captured, Jingzhou will have no food supplies at all.
"General, why don't you take advantage of Zhang Fei's drunkenness and let us go out of the city to attack him? If we can burn down the grain, grass and baggage, his army will be in chaos. I am willing to go out of the city to pursue him." Li Yi volunteered.
Yan Yan stroked his white beard and said hesitantly: "Zhang Fei is not an unknown person. I suspect that such behavior is fraudulent. There are not many defenders in Jiangzhou. Once they fall into the trap, it will be in danger..."
After hearing this, General Zhao surnamed Pi added: "Old general, Zhang Fei is a famously reckless man. He is invincible when charging into battle. If it is about strategy and tactics, it has nothing to do with him. I think it is quite true."
Li Yi often complained about Liu Zhang. Now that Yizhou was facing an invasion, and he was very passive during the previous water battle, Yan Yan did not dare to use him seriously.
Seeing that Yan Yan was still hesitant, Li Yi did not raise the issue of troops again, but instead talked about the situation in Yizhou, "If Zhang Fei is allowed to enter Shu now, Liu Bei's reinforcements will reach more than 30,000 people. If Jingzhou continues to increase its troops behind, , what’s the point of us defending Jiangzhou? I heard that Liu Bei defeated the five armies of Liu Huang, Leng Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, and Wu Yi in Fucheng, and is now preparing to counterattack Mianzhu..."
The two assistant generals Zhao and He echoed in unison: "Old General, what Deputy General Li said makes sense. Why not take this opportunity to defeat Zhang Fei, so as to reduce the pressure on the Lord."
"The last general is willing to lead the army." Li Yi saw that the time had come and asked for help again.
Yan Yan frowned and said to himself: "Although Zhang Fei was drunk, his troops were not drunk. He sent too few troops and suffered the consequences. It seems that we need to mobilize as many guards in the city as possible, except for the navy. All the troops are sent out of the city." ."
"Are we going to set off now?" Li Yi asked.
Yan Yan shook his head and said: "The navy is subordinate to Vice General Li. It is up to you to guard Jiangzhou. I will personally lead the army to pursue it, and General He will also stay behind to defend."
"Wei." Li Yi and others said in unison.
Not long after, Yan Yan led his army out of the city, and Li Yi stood on the city wall with his eyes blurred. Since the old guy is so wary of himself, I will help you never come back.
After Yan Yan left the city, he immediately sent out multiple spies to monitor every move of Zhang Fei's troops.
Zhang Fei's brigade marched along the official road in the direction of Dianjiang. On the left was the rapid river and on the right was the green willow tree. The catkins were blown all over the sky by the breeze.
Before the sun set in the west, Yan Yan had already caught up with Zhang Fei's rear team through a rapid march. At this time, the grain and grass army was resting in a mountain col, with only two hundred cavalry guarding it.
Yan Yan decisively ordered the concession cavalry to attack. As long as the food and baggage could be destroyed, Zhang Fei's army of ten thousand people would lose supplies. In addition to starving to death, he would have no choice but to plunder counties and villages. However, Bajun is located in the Daba Mountains. The distance between them is very long. Even if you want to grab something, you have to go hungry for several days, so there won't be much fighting power left.
When the shouts started, the cavalrymen in the rear quickly formed a formation. The general in the middle was Zhang Fei, the leader of this team.
As soon as the Jiangzhou Army arrived, Zhang Fei raised his voice and shouted loudly. Countless flags were raised behind the mountain col, and his ambushed soldiers and horses surged down.
Yan Yan's Jiangzhou soldiers originally wanted to bully the grain and grass team, but in the end, not only were the two hundred cavalry unable to stop them from charging into the formation, but the ambush troops all over the mountains and plains behind them were no less than their own.
The captains in Jiangzhou were dumbfounded. The news discovered by the scouts was completely false. Zhang Fei's main force had not gone far at all. This grain and grass team was used as bait for fishing.
Before several of the generals could react, Zhang Fei had already led his cavalry to fight in front of them. The eight-foot-long snake spear was like a skewer of candied haws, piercing back and forth in the crowd crazily. Finally, Yan Yan recognized Zhang Fei.
Although the clothes and horses were different from before, the black face was really easy to recognize, and he didn't look drunk at all.
Yan Yan saw Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei also saw the white-bearded veteran. He shouted excitedly: "Old Yan Yan, come and fight with me for three hundred rounds."
At this time, the Jingzhou soldiers had suppressed the Jiangzhou soldiers, and they were superior in terms of combat effectiveness and total strength. Yan Yan heard that he was still interested in fighting, so he turned his horse around and ordered an emergency withdrawal to Jiangzhou.
Some battle losses are better than being wiped out. After returning to the city, you will never come out again.
Yan Yan led his army to flee in the front, while Zhang Fei's army was behind to cover up the enemy. At this time, the cavalry and infantry were killing each other indiscriminately, while Zhang Fei kept a close eye on Yan Yan and pursued him.
The sun sets to dusk, and from dusk to night.
In the end, Yan Yan only had thirty riders left, and he arrived at the gate of Jiangzhou City in a panic in the dark night.
"Open the city gate."
