Chapter 31 Fa Zheng Fighting Phoenix Chicks

As soon as Fa Zheng led the army to Jiange Pass, he sent out two large armies to attack Pang Tong and Zhao Yun, who were dividing their troops.

There are indeed many warriors among the Shu Han, and in the mountains and forests, thousands of Shu Han elites are walking on the ground, and they are rushing towards the Zhao Yun army outside Jiameng Pass and Langzhong City.

In less than half a day, the armies of the two places were handed over.

With the shelter of the mountains and forests, whether it is the battle above Jiameng Pass or the battlefield outside Langzhong City, it is not as tragic as the battlefield seen in the past.

Even if there are severed arms and stumps, they all fall into the bushes and cannot be seen for the time being.

At this time, on the city wall of Jiameng Pass, Pang Tong was under the protection of the guards, and looked indifferently at the fight of the soldiers of the two armies on the city wall.

Pang Tong is also a disciple of the family, and the gentleman is naturally proficient in the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. But compared with the elite soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom, Pang Tong's three-legged cat kung fu is not enough.

With the protection of guards, Pang Tong is only in charge of the overall situation.

Looking at Wei Yan, who climbed the city wall and killed vigorously, Pang Tong shook his head helplessly. There is no fierce general like Zhao Yun in the army, and when he encounters a general who is good at fighting the enemy, he can only rely on human life to fill it.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom are all heroic, and their martial arts are not bad, and the casualties are still within the acceptable range of Pang Tong.

Originally, Pang Tong thought that after the Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass were broken, it should be his former friend Zhuge Liang who came to resist him, but he didn't want to be a famous person in Shu who he had never seen.

Since Zhuge Kongming handed over the Sword Pavilion Pass to this person with peace of mind, he thought that this person's plan should also be extraordinary. The doubt is, Zhuge Kongming found a person who targeted me? Pang Tong squinted his eyes and looked at the handsome banner not far from the city, and kept thinking about it in his heart.

Although Fa Zheng's order was a feint, Wei Yan saw that not only was there no Zhao Yun in the big move, but there were no generals who could fight with him, so Wei Yan thought about it and launched a real onslaught on Jia Meng Pass.

Although the generals are not subject to military orders abroad, Fa Zheng is still a scholar, and no matter how arrogant Wei Yan is, he does not dare not inform Fa Zheng.

Fortunately, half a day later, the military order from Fazheng also launched a fierce attack.

Two days later, Wei Yan attacked fiercely, and Pang Tong also defended tightly. Under Wei Yan's crazy attack, Jia Meng Guan was stunned that he did not miss a flaw that could give Wei Yan a chance.

After watching Wei Yan attack the city for a day, Pang Tong was also tired of it, handed over the defense of the city to the deputy general, and returned to the Chinese army tent and opened the information waiting to be sent back.

After reading the information, Pang Tong smiled.

Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Kongming. Do you really think you've got a last resort? Knowing that I am good at scheming, but I sent a strategist who likes to attack and defend in a dignified manner, isn't it planning to fight against me?

Wolong is still the Wolong of the past, but the phoenix chick is no longer the phoenix chick of the day. Since Brother Kong Ming plans to fight with me thousands of miles away, then it is not easy for me to shake off Brother Kong Ming's interest, right? Pang Tong curled the corners of his mouth and laughed weirdly.

Early in the morning of the third day of the siege of the city wall, without waiting for Wei Yan to start an attack on Jiameng Pass, in Wei Yan's stunned gaze, the gate of Jiameng Pass was wide open, and tens of thousands of Yan troops swarmed out and attacked Wei Yan's camp.

The counterattack happened too quickly, and there was no time for Wei Yan to think, and the army of the Yan Kingdom had already appeared on the periphery of Wei Yan's camp.

There were no night raids, and no sneak attacks. Pang Tong sent a large army like this, and collided with Wei Yan's army in a daze.

Could it be that there are more defenders in Jiameng Pass? Pang Tong is not afraid that after failure, he will lose Jia Mengguan? Or does Pang Tong think that his army can't defeat Pang Tong's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses?

With all these doubts, Wei Yan was forced to lead a large army and start a decisive battle in advance before Jiameng Pass.

Although there were no generals under Pang Tong who could fight with Wei Yan, the tigers could not stand up to the wolves.

There were many more middle-level generals under Pang Tong than under Wei Yan. At the beginning of the war, more than a dozen warlike generals, regardless of it, led hundreds of elites to besiege and kill Wei Yan.

Fortunately, Wei Yan's personal guards were not far away and the support was timely, otherwise Wei Yan was likely to be surrounded by accident and die on the battlefield.

The Sword Pavilion Pass and the Jiameng Pass were less than a hundred miles apart, and Pang Tong's counterattack had not been two hours before it was known by the Fa Zheng on the Sword Pavilion Pass.

"That's what the phoenix chick is all about?" Fa Zheng looked at the information in his hand in disbelief, frowned and said to himself: "Before setting out on the expedition, the prime minister told him that Pang Tong is good at plotting, and it is best for him to use tricks to deal with it. But now Pang Tong is doing the opposite and directly starting a decisive battle, how to deal with it? ”

Fa Zheng was stunned for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration.

"That's not right! Since Feng Xiao Pang Tong is good at scheming, he will definitely not simply send troops to fight back. After the counterattack, there will definitely be a scheme. ”

"And around Jiameng Pass, there are no other soldiers and horses, so Pang Tong's conspiracy must be above Jiameng Pass!" Fa Zheng thought about it, suddenly realized, and then chuckled confidently: "Since Pang Shiyuan wants to lure me into the customs, then the general will enter the customs, and he will plan for it!" ”

On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and the appearance of fighters is likely to be fleeting. Fa Zheng didn't dare to delay time, and immediately led 10,000 recruits and the Sword Pavilion to close the original remaining 3,000 elites, sent troops to the Sword Pavilion, and killed Jia Meng Pass. As for the thousands of recruits left behind in the Sword Pavilion Gate, Fa Zheng thought that he should be able to deal with sudden battles.

After all, his army is not far away, and outside the Sword Pavilion, the only enemy army is also on the Jiameng Pass.

More than 10,000 troops marched in a hurry, and it took nearly two hours to rush to the outside of Jiameng Pass before the time was over.

After arriving at Jiameng Pass, Fa Zheng did not let the army stop at all, and directly attacked Jiameng Pass.

The defenders who rushed out of Jiameng Pass were dragged by Wei Yan's army, and after Fa Zheng's army came out, they rushed under the wall of Jiameng Pass without the slightest hindrance.

Looking at Jia Meng Pass, where the city gate was closed, Fa Zheng grinned, ordered loudly, and launched a fierce attack on Jia Meng Pass.

"Strategist, it's not good!" An anxious cry suddenly came from outside the tent, and Pang Tong, who was still studying the topography of Shu, jumped.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Ignoring etiquette, the guards opened the curtain and rushed into the tent, knelt down on one knee towards Pang Tong, and said in a panic: "According to the orders of the military advisor, the army was originally recalled in Shenshi. But before the time of Shen, an army of more than 10,000 Shu Han suddenly rushed out from the rear. ”

"More than 10,000 Shu Han troops?" Pang Tongyi was stunned, then frowned, and asked anxiously, "Have the traps in the pass been arranged?" ”

"The military division, most of the arrangements are made, but..."

"But what!" Seeing the guards spitting, Pang Tong roared angrily.

The guards were frightened, knelt on their knees, and said in a trembling voice: "But there are more than 10,000 enemy troops, and the traps in the pass are probably not enough!" ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he was stunned at first, and then stunned.

Pang Tong originally planned to feign a head-on decisive battle, and 10,000 elites fought against the enemy. Wei Yan was forced to fight, and coupled with the elite armor of the Yan Army, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on Wei Yan. Although Wei Yan had more soldiers and horses than himself, after the battle, Pang Tong believed that Wei Yan's soldiers and horses must be less than 5,000 left.

At that time, he will feign a big defeat and retreat to the Guannai. Wei Yan will definitely chase after him, wanting to take the opportunity to break through. Pang Tong sent people to lay a trap in the pass, which would inevitably wipe out Wei Yan's army of more than 20,000 people.

However, there were only traps for an army of about 5,000, and now more than 10,000 suddenly appeared. And the original 20,000 troops in the city, thousands of dead and wounded, sent to raid the enemy 10,000, now there are less than 3,000 left, how to fight with the enemy?

Pang Tong's face turned pale and he was at a loss.

The anxious Pang Tong kept pacing back and forth, and countless strategies flashed in his mind, but in the face of the predicament at this time, it seemed that it was not enough.

What to do! What to do! Pang Tong broke out in a cold sweat.

"Army... Strategist, yes... Do you want to retire? ”

It was almost half a stick of incense, and Pang Tong was unable to make a decision, so the guards had to interrupt Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was awakened by the shouts of the guards, only to find that he had lost his mind.

Pang Tong took a few breaths and tried to calm himself.

"The scouts before, can you find out the remnants of Li Yan and the number of reinforcements from Fa Zheng?"

The guard was also anxious at this time, lowered his head, and tried to remember.

"Panic what, calm down!"

Pang Tong shouted again, startling the guards. Perhaps it was Pang Tong's composure that affected the guards, and after drinking, the guards slowly calmed down.

"Commander." The guard thought hard about it, and said with some uncertainty: "Li Yan's remnants can be determined, about eight thousand. Although there are not many, they are all brave people. As for Fazheng's reinforcements... Twenty thousand? Oh no, thirty thousand..."

"How much?"

There was another shout, and the guards were so loud that cold sweat flowed down.

"Oh, the villain remembered!" The guard was suddenly overjoyed: "It should be 30,000 recruits, 5,000 Liu Bei's central elite." ”

"Are there any soldiers wearing white blankets?"

The guard frowned and thought for a moment, and said surely, "No! ”

"30,000 recruits, 5,000 elites, and Li Yan's 8,000 remnants!"

Pang Tong muttered to himself, as if he was calculating something.

There are nearly 20,000 recruits and 5,000 elites outside Jiameng Pass. General Zhao Yun has more than 10,000 troops threatening Langzhong at this time, and with his correct and stable character, he will definitely send thousands of people to investigate. Pang Tong thought, his eyes getting brighter and brighter!

"So, when the Sword Pavilion is closed, there are only thousands of recruits guarding it?!" Pang Tong muttered to himself excitedly, then turned to the guards and ordered: "You can sound the horn, notify the soldiers outside the pass, and break through to the west!" ”

"To the west?!" The guards were stunned, isn't the Sword Pavilion Pass in the west, and it won't be destroyed by Shu Han if it breaks through the past.

"Also, take out all the tung oil in the customs and spread it all over the customs." Pang Tong quickly ordered, and said fiercely: "Burn the pass!" ”

"Ahh The guards didn't understand what Pang Tong was going to do, and they were shocked and confused at the same time.

"Ahhh to order! Pang Tong shouted loudly and ordered the whole army: "Those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

"No!" The guards were yelled at by Pang Tong, and then stood up and rushed out of the tent.

"Someone!"

"What do you command?" Outside the tent another guard walked in.

"Is there a reed pipe in the army that is commonly used in the army of peacetime?"

"Yes!"

"How much?"

"All armies are standing on stand, five thousand."

When Pang Tong heard this, he let out a long breath and put his mind at ease.

"Order the defenders in the city, after laying the tung oil, set it on fire! Then they all rushed to the Kannai water's edge. ”

Between Jiameng Pass and Jiange Pass, there is the Han River and its tributaries connected, although it cannot support the water battle of warships, but it is not shallow.

Above Jia Meng Pass, the speed at which the Yan army retreated was faster than Fa Zheng expected. Although Fa Zheng was not worried about Pang Tong's conspiracy, the more the Yan army was like this, the more cautious Fa Zheng was to attack Jiameng Pass.

Fa Zheng paid too much attention to Jia Meng Pass, and after the horn sounded, Fa Zheng didn't notice at all that the battle circle of the two armies behind him was getting farther and farther away from Jia Meng Pass. Moreover, the two armies have inadvertently begun to switch positions, and most of the officers and men of the Yan army are already in the west.

The war was still going on, and when Fa Zheng suddenly found that the shouts and killings outside the pass were getting smaller and smaller, Fa Zheng's army had already rushed into the Jiameng Pass with two or three thousand.

Fa Zheng felt more and more uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to speed up again, as if he was going to dig three feet into the ground, and found that there was something wrong with Jia Meng Pass.

The 'conspiracy' that Fa Zheng feared had finally emerged. There was a loud bang in Jia Mengguan, and a monstrous flame ignited.

"Humph! Ben Shangshu guessed that it was a fire attack! Fa Zheng snorted disdainfully, and then ordered the army to temporarily withdraw from Jiameng Pass.

Fazheng was prepared, and the strategy of burning the pass did not have much impact on Fazheng's army, and the casualties did not exceed 100.

"Lord Shangshu!" Wei Yan led the remaining six or seven thousand soldiers and horses to the place where Fazheng was located under Jiameng Pass.

"How's it going?"

"Yu Shangshu, kill 2,000 enemies, and flee at least 5,000." Wei Yan gave up his position so that Fa Zheng could see the captives behind him, and said excitedly: "There are more than 3,000 captives here. ”

Fa Zheng looked at the three thousand captives who had been unloaded from their armor, and said with a light smile: "It is rumored that the armor of the Yan Kingdom is very elite, so bring it to Ben Shangshu to see." ”

After handing over the armor sample to Fa Zheng, Wei Yan led the army and began to clean up the battlefield. Fa Zheng, on the other hand, was admiring the armor and waiting for the fire to be extinguished.

There were not many wooden buildings in Jiameng Pass, and the fire lasted only an hour before it was extinguished. Although there are many shrubs and forests around Jiameng Pass, Pang Tong has also made a defense and dug a wide isolation zone, which did not cause a forest fire.

Regarding Pang Tong's consideration of the people's practices, Fa Zheng nodded admiringly.

"The last general has already sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort the captives back to the Sword Pavilion according to Lord Shangshu's arrangement." Wei Yan excitedly said to Fa Zheng: "When the prisoners and booty are escorted to the capital city, the king will definitely be happy." ”

Fa Zheng smiled lightly, noncommittal.

"By the way, what direction did the four or five thousand Yan troops who fled go? I'm afraid I'll have to trouble General Wenchang to pursue it. ”

In Fa Zheng's view, the four or five thousand troops broke and fled, and the direction was definitely different. If you flee south and enter the territory of Yizhou, it will be troublesome to disturb the peace of the people.

Wei Yan thought for a while, and said indifferently: "Most of them fled to the west, and there are also those who went south and north, and there are a few. ”

"Hmmm! General Nawen Chang arranged to pursue the Yan army. ”

"No!"

Wei Yan took the order and left, Fa Zheng stepped into the burned gray and black Jia Meng Pass, sighed slightly, and then froze in place, his face changed greatly.

"Not good! The three armies listened to the order, in the direction of Sword Pavilion Pass, marched at full speed! ”

Fa Zheng's shouts resounded throughout Jia Mengguan.

Jia Meng temporarily had another result, and at this time, Li Yan, who touched the Langzhong area, also had friction with Zhao Yun's army.

Li Yan only has thousands of troops, fighting Zhao Yun in the mountains and wilderness, Li Yan will not be stupid enough to give Zhao Yun a head. However, the harassment of Zhao Yun's army is necessary.

Zhao Yun's army has been stationed in Langzhong City and is motionless for hundreds of miles, as if a long thorn has been pierced between Jiange Pass and Langzhong, if it can't be removed, Fa Zheng doesn't want to recover Jiameng and Baishui Pass with peace of mind.

If you want to enter Ba County from Jiameng Pass, there is no other way than to climb over the mountains and mountains, or go south along the Han River.

But even so, Zhao Yun still led more than 10,000 troops to appear in the Langzhong area. Although Langzhong is not a military location, if Langzhong is occupied by Zhao Yun, then as long as the Yan army holds Baishui and Jiameng Pass, the army of Yanguo can continue to be transported from Wuwei and Hanzhong to Ba County.

If the hinterland of Ba County is lost, in cooperation with the Yanguo army in Nanjun, then Yizhou will really be exposed to the tiger teeth of the Yanguo army, and there will be no chance of survival.

"Zhao Zilong! Can you dare to fight? ”

In the mountains, Li Yan used his familiarity with Bajun to constantly shout and provoke Zhao Yun, wanting Zhao Yun to mess with himself, and also wanting to force Zhao Yun to show his intentions.

"It is rumored that Changshan Zhao Zilong is comparable to the god of war of Lu Bu, the first person in the world in the past, and it seems that this is nothing more than the case today."

"Zhao Zilong, what is the use of you except for huddling in the camp?"

Although there were no dirty words, Li Yan's provocation made the soldiers of Zhao Yun's army angry.

"General, send troops, destroy that guy, it's too infuriating."

In Zhao Yunjun's tent, two people rushed in angrily, looking very angry.

These two people are the subordinates of Wang Teng, the king of Xiliang.

One is Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Xiu; One is Ma Chao's brother, Ma Dai.

Tiger brother has no dog brother, Ma Chao's two younger brothers have their own brother's bravery. Especially Ma Dai, in terms of strength, is even stronger than Ma Chao.

Zhao Yun looked at the two people in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "What's the hurry?" If a wild dog that only knows barking comes to your brother's door, do you want to go out and bite it? ”

Ma Xiu and Ma Dai were slightly stunned, then looked at Zhao Yun with admiration, and said in unison: "The general is really a general, and his heart is so broad-minded, my brothers admire it." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head, and then summoned the two of them over and said, "Since you have already come, let's discuss the matter of sending troops." ”

"Sending troops?" Ma Dai, who looked like a reckless man, was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "The general is saying that you don't need to stay here anymore when the bird doesn't?" ”

"If General Ma Dai likes it, stay here!" Zhao Yun said in a rare laughing tone, which made Ma Dai embarrassed for a while.

"General, how to send troops?" Matthew was a lot more steady, took a step forward, and asked with a straight face.

"Naturally, it's into Shu!"

Zhao Yun said, making Ma Xiu and Ma Dai's eyes light up, and their expressions were excited.
