"Deng Xian listened to the order, the reeds were dense five or six miles south of the Jinyan Bridge, which was the place of ambush, the general could lead three thousand troops, ambush here, if he saw Wei Yan chasing, he could cut off the enemy army when half of the enemy crossed the bridge. If Wei Yan's army is defeated, he will flee from the hill east of the city, and I will order my soldiers to ambush and capture Wei Yan here. If our army defeats the enemy's vanguard, the enemy's strength will be lost, and the morale will inevitably be low, and it will not be able to attack the city," Zhang Ren said.

Zhang Ren arrived in Luocheng early, and then dispatched troops, only waiting for Liu Cong's vanguard Wei Yan to come. Zhang Ren has always opposed Liu Zhang's invitation to Liu Cong to Shu, but he is not as extreme as Wang Ti, hanging himself upside down at the city gate, and as a result, he sacrificed himself in vain. What Zhang Ren can do as a general in Shuzhong is to train his opponents diligently. At the critical moment, Liu Zhang remembered that Zhang Ren went to Ruocheng to resist Liu Cong, and Zhang Ren even had a heavy responsibility.

The straight-line distance between the city and Chengdu is only about two hundred miles, and even if the mountain road is bent, the infantry march can only be reached in five or six days. Once Liu Cong breaks through the defense of Yucheng and occupies Guanghan, he will inevitably drive straight into Chengdu. At that time, the entire Yizhou will definitely be in turmoil. Therefore, Zhang Ren is also very cautious, and he must stop Liu Cong here.

Zhang Ren is still confident in this, there were originally 10,000 defenders in Luocheng, and this time 30,000 elite soldiers were transferred from Chengdu. Although Liu Cong still has an advantage in numbers, Liu Cong has his back to Hanzhong and may be attacked by Zhang Lu at any time, while Zhang Ren himself has his back to Chengdu and can get a steady stream of replenishment as the battle progresses.

……

"Report to General Wei, the enemy general Leng Bao will lead the troops to meet him," the scout said.

"It's a kind of thing, I thought there was no one in Shu," Wei Yan said to himself. Although Yu Ban and Fa Zheng successfully recruited the defenders of Baishui Pass, in Wei Yan's view, it just reflected the incompetence and cowardice of the Yizhou generals. Yang Huai and Gao Pei are even more defeated under their own hands, they only know that they brag and fart all day long, and they don't have brains if they can't do martial arts. Although Li Hui and the others abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, Wei Yan looked down on them.

However, when the two Liu met, Zhang Ren, who was always unwilling to come out to greet each other at first, made Wei Yan a little admired, especially Zhang Ren's marksmanship was able to tie with Zhao Yun. This time, when he heard that the general Zhang Ren was stationed in Luocheng, Wei Yan naturally did not dare to slack off. However, along the way, all counties along the way are looking at the wind. Although these are the credit of Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Dong Yun and others, Wei Yan feels very boring. This time, someone finally came out, and Wei Yan was refreshed after hearing this!

"Haha, the Jingzhou soldiers dared to come to die, and the general waited for a long time on the orders of General Zhang! Dismount quickly, put down your weapons, and you won't die! This Ling Bao obviously did not forget Zhang Ren's entrustment, and as soon as he stepped forward, he sneered at him, which was bound to anger the enemy.

This Wei Yan has been holding back for almost a year since he entered Shu, and there are few Yizhou generals who can be eye-catching, and he has never heard of this Ling Bao, but he saw Ling Bao less than thirty years ago, a thin body, at first glance, he is not a fierce general, and he dares to speak wildly?

"I am the general of Shuzhong, and I will not kill the nobody. Wait for your name to be called. Seeing that her agitation method was effective, she was even more proud. It is clearly to provoke the enemy army and the enemy general.

Wei Yan over there was furious when he heard this, and urged him to come forward to fight Leng Bao, and the two fought more than 20 times, and Leng Bud couldn't resist the defeat and retreated. When Wei Yan was about to rush forward to capture Leng Bao, the enemy army pressed up on the whole line, and Wei Yan had to retreat and wave his army to fight. The two armies fought a melee, and the Leng Bao army's formation was loose and could not resist, so they retreated to the east of the city, and Wei Yan led his troops to cover up and kill in the rear, and chased to Jinyan Bridge.

"Chase me across the bridge, I want to capture Leng Bud alive" Wei Yan finished shouting, and led the soldiers across the bridge to chase and kill. Although Wei Yan had also thought that there might be an ambush at the bridgehead, but the enemy general was so vulnerable, and his vanguard was four or five thousand more than the enemy's army, and the artist was bold, Wei Yan rushed across the Jinyan Bridge after a little hesitation.

"Wei Yanxiu is presumptuous, and the general Deng Xian is here" Suddenly, a shout came along with the flying arrows in the sky, which made Wei Yan's army chaotic. Seeing that the ambush soldiers were coming, Ling Bao also led the troops to kill back, and trapped Wei Yan's army with two pincer attacks.

Although Wei Yan was brave and fierce, his soldiers were frightened a lot because they were ambushed, and their combat effectiveness dropped sharply. For a while, Wei Yan couldn't help Ling Bao and Deng Xian, and was afraid that there would be more ambushes, so Wei Yan just wanted to break through the siege as soon as possible and regroup and fight again.

"Kill me out" After Wei Yan saw the ambush, he led the soldiers to charge and rushed out with a bloody path. Thanks to Jingzhou's heroic fighting, although it was surrounded on three sides, most of the soldiers still struggled to break out of the encirclement under the leadership of Wei Yan.

However, Ling Bao and Deng Xian are not good at stubble, seeing Wei Yan's defeat and retreat, the leading troops covered up in the back for a while, and Wei Yan's subordinates suffered countless casualties.

Finally gathered the troops, but found that he couldn't find the way he came, Wei Yan hurriedly shouted to the scout: "Where can I go back to the way I came?" "Since the enemy army was prepared, and his forward troops were ambushed again, Wei Yan naturally wanted to go back to the original and wait for Liu Cong's army to arrive and go to Ruocheng together.

"General, go over the mountain in front of you and walk another five or six miles to reach it." Although the scout is a temporary reconnaissance, it is better than Wei Yan to cover his head and run around. After listening to the scout's words, Wei Yan also regretted it, he didn't expect that his mind was hot, and he actually chased out five or six places? Careless, careless! Wei Yan calmed down, and then led his subordinates to prepare to return to the original way.

As I walked, I suddenly saw a small bird hovering in the sky on the mountain in the distance, chirping non-stop.

"If the bird doesn't fall into the forest, there will be an ambush, retreat quickly, there is an ambush ahead" Wei Yan said in shock. This time, Wei Yan reacted quite quickly, but it was still too late, and the ambush soldiers on the mountain were willing to let Wei Yan retreat.

When the ambush soldiers on the mountain saw that the enemy was almost at their destination, they suddenly turned around and withdrew, knowing that the enemy general had found out, so they had to show up and chase and kill. Jingzhou, which was ambushed, was still in the mood to fight at this moment, and scattered and fled. Thanks to Wei Yan's bravery, sometimes a charge, sometimes a break, to resist the enemy troops who came to chase and kill, many of his subordinates were able to escape. By the time Wei Yan broke through, there were no more than a thousand people left around him. The rest either left the bodies at the scene or scattered and fled.

"What should the general do now?" The remaining soldiers asked Wei Yan.

"It's getting late, our army will find a place to hold on first, and evacuate after dark," Wei Yan said. Wei Yan also had no choice, the terrain here was unfamiliar, and he didn't know how many ambushes Zhang Ren had prepared next, he now felt that the more feasible way was to find a place to hold on first, and then send scouts to explore the way, and then find a way to evacuate after dark.

"Report ...... Report to the lord, General Wei Yan is 30 miles outside the city, the road met the enemy general Lingbao, the first battle won and defeated the enemy, and now he is leading troops to chase after him," said the herald. Liu Cong was not surprised by such a result as Yue, with Wei Yan's skills and 10,000 elite soldiers, unless Zhang Ren personally went to fight, he would definitely not be able to stop Wei Yan. Wrong! Zhang Ren? Why is it Lingbud, not Zhang Ren?

Liu Cong reacted and felt bad, Luocheng used to be the seat of Yizhou, and now it is also the office of Guanghan, an important town in the north of Yizhou, the wall must be high and the water is deep, of course Zhang Ren does not need to send troops to meet it, unless ...... Unless it's an ambush!

Thinking of this, Liu Cong hurriedly summoned everyone: "Zhang Rennai is a famous general in Shuzhong, how can he easily send troops to fight, there must be an ambush, Wen Ze, you quickly take 3,000 soldiers to pick up Wen Chang back to the camp." "Liu Cong is a little regretful now, one of the two think tanks Pang Tong and Fa Zheng should stay by Wei Yan's side. It's just that in order to smooth the grain route, he left Zhang Song and Fa Zheng along the way to appease the people and escort the grain and grass.

As expected, it didn't take long to see Yu Ban come back with his troops, and said, "Lord, the last general met General Wei's defeated soldiers on the road, saying that General Wei was surrounded by enemy regiments and had died in battle. Yu Ban reported with a serious face.

"What, Bun Chang! Impossible, impossible! Wen Chang is familiar with military books and excels in martial arts...... Zhang Ren Xiao'er...... Wow......" Liu Cong spat out a mouthful of blood. This blow is too big for him, who is Wei Yan, the pillar of his carefully cultivated talents, the pillar of Jingzhou. Although Liu Cong didn't go on many expeditions, he liked to take Wei Yan with him every time and let him be a pioneer.

In Liu Cong's eyes, Wei Yan's ability to command troops is far better than Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and it is incomparable to Cai Mao, Huang Zu and others. There is even a vague momentum beyond the clerical recruitment. Wei Yan is only thirty-seven this year, and he is the peak moment of a general, why did he die in battle? Liu Cong couldn't believe it, he couldn't imagine that there were many capable people in Yizhou, otherwise Wei Yan would not be easily fooled, and Wei Yan's courage was by no means under Zhang Ren, who was Ling Bao, how could he keep Wei Yan?

"Lord, lord!" Yu Ban saw Liu Cong's anxious vomiting blood, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Cong: "Lord, the last general just listened to what the defeated soldiers said, Wen Chang is brave and brave, and he will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement." Yu Ban didn't dare to stimulate Liu Cong anymore, he and Wei Yan had been by Liu Cong's side for more than a year, so he naturally knew Wei Yan's status in the heart of the lord, so he hurriedly changed his tone and comforted.

Liu Cong calmed down a little, but still felt a faint pain in his chest, so he sat down in the big tent in the camp to rest with the support of Yu Ban, no wonder Liu Cong was so anxious, in addition to the need to guard Jingzhou, Liu Cong's western expedition only brought Wei Yan, Yu Ban, and Zhao Yun three generals, and the rest were Pang Tong and the newly subdued Fa Zheng, Zhang Song and Dong Yun, and the original grain and grass official Huang Jian stayed in Shangyong.

This has not yet arrived in Ruocheng, and he has not fought with Zhang Ren and folded Wei Yan first, can he not be anxious?

"Yes, lord, General Wei Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, and the death has not yet been confirmed, so the lord should not be too careful." Pang Tong saw that Liu Cong was a little distracted, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

"Hey, I was careless! I hope to borrow the good words of the military teacher. If Wen Chang can return safely, even if I am asked to withdraw my troops back to Jingzhou immediately, I will not hesitate! "Liu Cong is talking in his heart, there is only one Wei Yan, people can't be resurrected after death, and Yizhou can't take it, so he can come back next time, compared with the two, of course he chooses a living Wei Yan.
