Chapter 397: Lian Barbarian Attack Shu

After more than half a year of training in mountain warfare, Wei Yanjun practiced in Zizhong County.

Zizhong is different from the current topography, located on the eastern edge of the Shuzhong Basin, mostly mountainous, densely forested, and there are only a few narrow paths to Zizhong from the east.

Cavalry and mechanized units were completely useless, and this is when the troops of mountain warfare can show their skills.

Wei Yan mobilized the hand crossbow and tung oil altar of the whole army, all of which were handed over to the 30,000-strong mountain combat troops, and at the same time handed over the county seat of Zizhong to them. The rest of the troops had to wait for Zizhong County to take it and then enter the city in batches.

Yan Yan guarded Jiangzhou for almost a year, Wei Yan failed to capture it in the end, the Shu army took it for granted that the Jin army did not have the ability to fight in the mountains, and Zizhong was backed by the rich Shuzhong Basin, and the Jin army wanted to enter Shuzhong, it must take Zizhong, so there was no need to worry about the Jin army cutting off the supply of Zizhong.

But in the end, they were too underestimated, and Wei Yan's mountain division did indeed attack Zizhong.

When the Shu army found countless Jin troops in the city, there was no chance to resist, and the head of the guard was already hanging at the door of the palace.

To the surprise of all the personnel, the capital on the edge of the cliff would be taken down overnight.

Wei Yanjun entered Zizhong County one after another, and after being fully replenished, he began to stride towards Chengdu, because the gate was already open.

Zhao Yun and Cao Chun, who came from Jingzhou, advanced quickly, conquered several county towns and fortresses in succession, and then went north along the river, launched an attack on the eastern part of Fuling, and copied Zhuge Liang's back road.

Zhuge Liang is in Zitong full command to attack Ma Chao's army, never expected Zhao Yun's army to advance so amazingly, thirty percent of the Shu army's strength is in Zitong, half of it is in Chengdu, and then excluding the troops that confront the Nanban, there are not many troops left in Fuling, but Zhao Yun's army is eight times that of the defenders.

Zhuge Liang asked Guan Yu to stay in Zitong and sent Jiang Wei to lead the army to aid Fuling.

Jiang Wei is also Zhuge Liang's protégé, he has some ability, he sent a very small number of troops to bluff, Zhao Yun still adopted the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, seeing that a "large number" of reinforcements were coming, he was overjoyed, and sent the elite to chase and kill, but he fell into Jiang Wei's pocket formation, although he had the advantage of weapons, but he was in a hurry.

Jiang Wei's main force sealed the pocket, and then used a catapult to frantically strangle Zhao Yunjun.

Cao Chun originally responded to Zhao Yunjun from afar, and after the scouts found out that Zhao Yun was surrounded, they immediately reported to Cao Chun, and Cao Chun immediately made a decision, commanded the whole army to smash over, and implemented a counter-encirclement of Jiang Weijun.

This fierce battle, which lasted from morning to evening, was full of casualties, Jiang Wei was already a small soldier, and almost all the troops were wiped out in the case of a large number of kills and wounds to Zhao Yunjun, and Jiang Wei escaped by luck.

Zhao Yunjun has always won more and lost less, and this time Zhongji was unwilling, and without waiting for Zhao Yun to give an order to rest, they first asked for battle.

Zhao Yun knew that they were all holding their breath, so they simply didn't do anything and went directly to fight Fuling.

The defenders of Fuling resisted desperately, but after all, they could not stop the repeated attacks of the Jin army several times, and Fuling fell.

Liu Bei was taken aback when he learned that Zitong and Chengdu had been separated, and asked Li Yan and Deng Zhi to lead an army to meet Zhuge Liang's retreat.

Zhao Yun and Cao Chun found out that Chengdu sent troops to attack, and they were not ambiguous, and quickly withdrew from Fuling after burning the fortifications in the city, and then strode west to kill the northern part of Benshu County.

Zhang He, who was in the northwest, knew Zhao Yun's movements, so he led 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 Qiang warriors to the south to help.

Under the attack from the north to the south, sixty percent of the territory of Shu County was successfully taken, at this time Zhao Yun's army was sleepy and lacking horses, and it was the end of the crossbow, so he stopped marching and stopped to rest.

Wei Yan's soldiers and horses marched all the way north, approaching Guangdu, the acropolis in the east of Chengdu.

Li Yan had just opened up the connection between Zitong and Chengdu, and was about to go north with Zhuge Liang to attack Ma Chao, when he learned that Wei Yan's army had approached Chengdu and had to retreat south.

At this time, Jiang Sheng's military order reached Wei Yan's army, and Jiang Sheng demanded that the battle should not be divided, but to drive the Shu army south.

Wei Yan was puzzled, it was easiest to break the Shu army by dividing the defense, if they would join together, it would be really troublesome to eat them, but he was not good at disobeying orders, so he stopped in the north of Guangdu and stood by.

Ma Chao knew the situation of the troops from all walks of life, and when Zhuge Liang's army retreated south, he took the initiative to attack, pursued Zhuge Liang's rear team, and started a guerrilla war.

Zhao Yunjun rested for more than ten days, and he was not far behind, leading the army to squeeze in the direction of Chengdu.

The main forces of the Shu army have withdrawn to Chengdu, holding Mianzhu Pass, Guangdu, Xindu and other places, while the three main forces of the Jin army have been stationed in the east, west and north of Chengdu.

The Shu army nervously arranged defenses to prevent the Jin army from attacking Chengdu, and the Jin army was also building defensive positions, but they wanted to seal Chengdu on three sides and force the Shu army to go south.

The three main forces all received Jiang Sheng's military order, and they couldn't understand it, but they could only follow the military order, and they couldn't figure out what medicine Jiang Sheng's gourd was selling, so they waited for further arrangements.

It is said that Jiang Sheng did this for a reason, Pang Tong, who was known as the "phoenix chick", volunteered to make a great contribution to solving the Shu State when he defected, Jiang Sheng knew that Pang Tong's wisdom was no less than Zhuge Liang, so he agreed to let him do it.

Pang Tong took only three retinues and traveled thousands of miles to Yongchang County, which was later known as Yunnan Burma, where there were brave and warlike Nanban tribes.

In order to make Pang Tong a great achievement, Jiang Sheng issued a military order, asking the three main forces of Yizhou to let Zhuge Liang return to Chengdu, and then unite with the Nanban to conspire with Shu.

Zhen Yan had already looked for a lot of fine works in Nanban before, and specially said that Jiang Sheng was invincible.

The strongest man in the Southern Barbarians, the leader Meng Huo, is also a talent, and he admires Jiang Sheng very much, and he can't wait to fight Jiang Sheng in person to see if the hero he admires can defeat him in a few rounds.

Hearing that someone from the Jin Dynasty was coming, Meng was overjoyed, thinking that it was a famous general under Jiang Sheng, and when he saw that the person who came was an ugly-looking sour scholar, he was disappointed, and scolded and scolded Pang Tong to leave.

Pang Tong had long expected that Meng Huo would behave like this, so he said to Meng Huo: "The emperor has admired the king of the barbarians for a long time, and he has long wanted to come in person, but he is entangled in government affairs, and it is difficult to make the trip for a while, so he sent me to represent him to make a front stop, if the barbarian king drives me away, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”

Meng Shu said: "I don't care if he is an emperor or not, if you have the ability, come and fight with me." ”

Mrs. Zhurong reprimanded: "The barbarian king is so unreasonable! That man is in charge of the world, how can he fight with you as a martial artist? I don't think this gentleman is an idle man, so let him give us some pointers. ”

Meng Shu was reprimanded by the woman in public, and he couldn't hold his face a little, but he really couldn't beat Zhu Rong, so he could only get angry.

Pang Tong said: "Madam, please listen to me, now the barbarians have a great opportunity to go down in history, if the barbarian king and his wife believe me, the southern barbarians will be even more prosperous!" ”
