Chapter 1350: Advance and Retreat
In the cottage, with the last scream falling, it gradually returned to calm, of course, just a general calm.
Yan Yan looked at the figures of Liu Dan and other soldiers who were fleeing far away, revealing a cruel smile.
A bunch of ignorant fools!
Yan Yan just sent people to follow behind and keep driving away, and then when it was dark, he withdrew his troops, and he didn't mean to kill them all at all, because there were many children who would take over the next work.
The reason why Sichuan Shu is called Sichuan Shu is because there are too many insects, big insects, small insects, long insects, long and short, black and white, thick and thin, delicious and undelicious, only unexpected, no Sichuan Shu does not have.
Not to mention those big insects that make people daunting and roaring in the mountains and forests, or those insidious and hidden long insects that kill with one blow, even ordinary insects are extremely terrifying things. If you walk through the wild forest unsuspectingly, you may not know when there will be more than a dozen locusts hanging on your body, and when the locusts are full and then urinate and leave, people may suddenly notice it.
Not to mention those disease-contagious head iron princes, mini bombers, world high jump kings......
Under the warm climate of Sichuan and Shu, there are many mountain woodlands and many shrubs, and the land of Sichuan and Shu is simply a paradise for insects. Therefore, Yan Yan didn't bother to send someone to chase and kill Liu Dan at all, even if Liu Dan had the life to escape back, what could he do?
These soldiers such as Liu Dan, who rushed into the mountains and forests recklessly, simply sent the last luxurious feast to these insects who were about to spend the winter!
Of course, insects don't distinguish between outsiders and locals, but the problem is that the Sichuan and Shu people grow and live on this land, and they already know how to deal with it, and Liu Dan and others, who fled, are actually not much different from stupid Bai Tian in this aspect......
The fire and smoke not only drove away the mosquitoes that coveted the surrounding area, but also made the beasts that came out to hunt at night not dare to approach, but only flashed their green eyes in the grass and bushes, and then turned away. And the baked ground can even lie down and sleep directly, without worrying about millipedes or cuties with cocked tails burrowing into their clothes in the middle of the night......
Yan Yan watched his subordinates pull out some grain from the fire that had not yet been burned into black charcoal, and then found some unburned dried meat, took local materials and put them on top of the knife and gun, and roasted them directly.
After a fight, Yan Yan really felt the exhaustion in his body. It's not like the tiredness of being in your teens and twenties, as long as you sleep for one night, you can live the next day, and the fatigue can disappear without a trace. Now, this feeling of exhaustion seems to penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and no matter how much you drive it, there will be a trace of it left on the bones, and then it will accumulate more and more......
Yan Yan moved his somewhat sore shoulders, his mind was no longer on the scene at all, but running endlessly.
In the land of Sichuan and Shu, the situation is chaotic now, and all parties seem to want to play a game in it, and every move contains a huge bloody atmosphere, just like now he has defeated Liu Dan, but can he stop the pace of General Zhengxi?
Not necessarily.
Needless to say, there must be a big war about to break out, which reminded Yan Yan of ten years ago, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the world, at that time, Sichuan Shu was not too involved in it, and he was lucky and did not suffer much damage, but now this time, can he still have such good luck?
The battle with Liu Dan this time came and went quickly, although it was victorious, but Yan Yan knew in his heart that this was mainly caused by Liu Dan's incompetence, otherwise Yan Yan would not have been so easy.
An unexpected victory.
Originally, Yan Yan's plan was to harass him, with burning Liu Dan's military rations as the main goal, so he would choose to attack at dusk, after all, even if it was unsuccessful, there would be cover of night when retreating, so as not to be chased by others, but Yan Yan didn't expect that Liu Dan was just a kind of goods, and he panicked directly under the oppression, which led to the collapse of the whole army and this big victory.
If only General Zhengxi was so weak......
Although Yan Yan knew that this was completely impossible.
Defeating Liu Dan, for General Zhengxi, may only hurt a little bit of the skin, but once it is eroded by General Zhengxi's troops to Sichuan and Shu, the land of Sichuan and Shu cannot afford the same loss.
This is the gap in strength.
The land of Sichuan and Shu is always more self-preservation than enterprising, and the Han Emperor Liu Bang won the world, in fact, he did not rely entirely on the locals of Sichuan and Shu, he was just named the king of Shu at that time.
Now the Central Plains is surging, and Sichuan and Shu are ......
Not much else, just looking at the trade between General Zhengxi and Sanfu and various places, the momentum of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, and then turning his head to look at Liu Zhang, who was so young that he seemed to be a cabbage, Yan Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
It's not on the same level at all, how can you compare?
Since the merger of the north, he has moved to the north and south, cashed in Xianbei Xiqiang, and even played against the older generation of famous Han generals Huangfu and others......
Yan Yan is also a leader of the army, of course he knows how difficult it is for General Zhengxi to do this, and how strong the strength of the tricolor flag is, so although he beat Liu Dan away this time, it didn't bring him much joy.
Liu Dan is not terrible, what is terrible is the general Zhengxi who is standing behind Liu Dan and waiting quietly in the land of Sanfu, if there is really one day General Zhengxi takes his subordinate army south, what kind of combat effectiveness will he have, and can he still resist with the children of Sichuan and Shu?
Yan Yan didn't know, and he didn't even dare to think about it in detail, he was afraid that if he thought too much, he would lose his fighting spirit.
Since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.
In this world, it has changed so much that he can't understand it......
………………………………
Also at this point in time, there is also Ma Heng who feels a little worried.
Stone Ridge was undoubtedly taken, and most of the defenders were killed, a few escaped, and of course three or four were captured, and the soldier who was the first to be kicked by Wei Yan and fainted to death was one of them.
According to the interrogation of Huokou, as early as two days ago, a Sichuan and Shu troops went north, but Ma Heng did not encounter it when he led the troops south......
This means that either they are telling lies alive, or this one unit is hiding in the mountains.
The answer is that one, obviously.
So what are the hidden troops going to do?
Naturally, it is not purely a trip to the mountains and rivers to take out the farmhouse.
"I've seen Zhizhong......" Wei Yan walked over and saluted.
"Wei Sima, come, sit." Ma Heng beckoned and said.
Wei Yan turned out to be just a military marquis, this time Ma Heng led the army alone, Wei Yan took the initiative to ask for orders to follow, and Ma Heng simply sealed Wei Yan's position as a fake Sima.
Ma Heng was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Sima inspected the surroundings, did he see anything?" ”
Wei Yan also lowered his voice like Ma Heng and said, "It's really a little weird...... A certain walked around the perimeter, the people in the village have been emptied, except for the grain and grass in the military village, in the other houses, not only there is no grain and grass, but all the items that can be moved have been removed...... It's certainly not improvised...... Also, in the field outside the village, a certain dug this ......"
"This is ......" Ma Heng took it, came to the front of him, took a look at it by the light of the bonfire in the military village, and said, "This is a reed?" ”
"It's all gouged up...... It's all buried in the ground......" Wei Yan said in a deep voice.
Ma Heng's gaze couldn't help but froze.
"No...... If you continue to move forward, it will definitely be a trap......" Ma Heng pinched the reed in his hand and finally came to a conclusion. Originally, he was still a little hesitant whether to continue to move forward or wait for Liu Dan's follow-up movements, but after obtaining a live confession and seeing such a decisive method, Ma Heng understood that Hanchang was actually ready to break the boat.
If Ma Heng has all the troops, Ma Heng doesn't mind a direct frontal wave, but the problem is that Ma Heng only has this thousand people in his hands, and there is naturally no problem in conquering a small military village like Shiling, but to overcome the situation that he is well prepared, and there is a hidden Sichuan and Shu army behind him, it is undoubtedly a self-defeating way to advance the army.
"What Zhizhong said is very ......" Wei Yan arched his hand, his eyes flashed under the reflection of the bonfire, and it seemed that there was also a flame called ambition burning, "But even if we retreat from the army, we will inevitably be followed and pursued by the Sichuan army...... It's better to count ......."
"Will it be calculated?" Ma Heng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Let's hear about it......"
………………………………
Wei Yan finally persuaded Ma Heng, and Ma Heng led most of the soldiers to pretend to move forward, but in fact, the troops were divided into three parts, one part was suspicious soldiers, pretending to be a large army to continue to move forward, and the other part of the soldiers were ambushed under the hillside in front.
Because according to the information provided by Huokou, the vanished Sichuan and Shu troops must have known that the people who were originally in Shiling had been evacuated, so even if there were scouts who came to check, it was very likely that they would just go to the military village to take a look, and there would not be this leisure to turn Shiling upside down.
Wei Yan's target was the hidden Sichuan and Shu troops. Although Wei Yan is not like some children of the family, who open his mouth and close his mouth to the art of war, Wei Yan knows that even if he retreats, he must first solve the hidden dangers on the road of retreat, otherwise it will be very difficult even if he retreats.
Wei Yan didn't know whether Liu Dan would be attacked by this Sichuan and Shu troops, but whether it would be or not, the probability of this Sichuan and Shu troops returning here was at least seventy percent, because no matter what, if Hanchang really fortified and cleared the wilderness, then sooner or later this army would have to return to Hanchang to obtain food and grass and other supplements.
Of course, this Sichuan and Shu troops may also take other routes, climb a mountain road and take a shortcut or something, but with seventy percent certainty, it is worth betting, isn't it?
Wei Yan thinks that his martial arts are still very good, and his riding skills are also good, on the whole, he is better than most of the generals in Hanzhong, and even compared to General Huang Chenghuang who is in Shangyong, but he is still a little uncle, if it weren't for this southern expedition to Sichuan and Shu, even this fake Sima may not be able to be a ......
The most important thing in the army is martial arts and bravery, and the other is meritorious service.
No matter how fast the knife skills are and how good the riding skills are, it is not a problem to let go of five or six robes in one breath on the school field, but when those veterans who have participated in the bloody battle in the north wear mink hats to inspect the city, even if Wei Yan is arrogant, he must stand aside respectfully, if nothing else, that is, respect for this meritorious service in the army.
Five hundred people entered Pingyang, fought Baibo, galloped and chased the Xianbei Zuoxian King in the north, rushed thousands of miles to recover Yinshan, and suppressed the rebellion in the north in one fell swoop.
Wei Yan, who is arrogant, can only write a big word in front of these people.
If you don't respect these veterans who have made meritorious deeds, who will respect you in the future?
Wei Yan still understands this very clearly.
Therefore, this time when he went south to Sichuan and Shu, Wei Yan was full of energy, and he couldn't wait to establish countless meritorious deeds immediately, but he didn't expect that at the beginning, he just asked him to supervise the transportation of grain and grass!
This can suffocate Wei Yan.
So when Ma Heng wanted to lead the troops forward, Wei Yan simply took the initiative to find Ma Heng, saying that he would follow this pioneer officer, if it weren't for Wei Yan himself knowing that he looked average, and he didn't understand any cute magic skills, he would have to wear rabbit ears and open big watery eyes.
Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to hide in the house, prepare bows and arrows, if they saw ordinary scouts, they would not be exposed if they could not be exposed, and when they saw the Sichuan and Shu soldiers entering the ambush circle, they could let go of the attack.
Waiting is always the most painful, but the effort has finally paid off, I don't know if it's because of the carelessness of the Sichuan and Shu army this time, or I didn't expect that someone would hide in the empty house of the house, the leading Sichuan army scout checked the empty and dilapidated military village, and after seeing the corpses of the defenders, they hurriedly returned.
Through the cracks in the house, he saw from a distance that there seemed to be some smoke and dust rising from the distance of the mountain road, Wei Yan's breathing inevitably became a little heavier, and his whole body trembled slightly, only to feel that the blood was about to gush on the top of his head, and he didn't know how many times he scolded these Sichuan and Shu soldiers in his heart......
Fuck, how can these dwarf mules climb so slowly?
The waiting process seemed to exhaust all the patience of Wei Yan in his life, and finally waited for these Sichuan and Shu soldiers to approach, and saw that one of the leading Sichuan generals entered the range of the attack, Wei Yan suddenly roared, and took the lead in shooting the bow and arrow in his hand, and then without waiting for the first round of feather arrows to land, he threw the longbow to the ground, roared, kicked open the door, and led the soldiers to kill the Sichuan general!
