Chapter 423: "Reinforcements"?
Under Mianzhu City, the Youzhou Army, which had already gotten the news, has been continuously harassing for several days! Wei Yan was helpless against this tired plan.
"Hehe, French Division, when will the siege begin?" Zhang Fei asked Fa Zheng beside him with a wicked smile.
"If the general wants to attack, he will attack, if he can't retreat as soon as possible, it's still the same sentence, harassment is the main thing!" Fa Zheng said rhetorically.
These days, Mianzhu City's defense has been panicked but not chaotic, allowing Fa Zheng to have a better understanding of Wei Yan. This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also quite intelligent.
Although he was defeated for a while a while ago, it had a great impact on the morale of the soldiers, but it did not affect his fighting spirit at all. At this time, Wei Yan was wearing armor and holding a steel sword, commanding the listless Yizhou soldiers to rearrange at the head of the city.
With a burst of war drums, Wei Yan opened his eyes violently, and issued an order by the faint light of the fire. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Youzhou army slowly retreated, and returned again in vain!
The Youzhou army relied on the strength of the crowd, took turns to attack the city, and harassed the army defending the city day and night.
Wei Yan knew this very well in his heart, so he didn't dare to relax at all. Reinforcements are coming, and no matter how hard and tired you are, you must persevere.
Zhang Fei looked at the soldiers who had once again rebelled helplessly and shook his head helplessly, if he didn't count the casualties, he was afraid that he would have already attacked Mianzhu City at this moment.
But then again, this Wei Yan still has two brushes!
"Strategist, it looks like we're going to take the next step!" Zhang Fei said helplessly to Fa Zheng.
"That's all there is to it! General Yan and General Zhang, the two of them worked hard to shoot the written letter into the city! ”
"No!"
Although Wei Yan will not surrender, this plan is to shake the morale of the army, after all, the morale of the Yizhou soldiers has dropped to the freezing point, and only an introduction is needed.
While everyone was talking, a scout rushed in!
"Report, Dark Feather Guard urgently!"
Taking the information sent by the Dark Feather Guard, Zhang Fei quickly skimmed through it.
Then he handed it to Fa Zheng on the side: "The 50,000 reinforcements from the direction of Chengdu will arrive tomorrow, and the victory or defeat is here!" ”
After speaking, everyone laughed
"General Zhang, French Division, why are you so happy?" Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, who had just returned from sending many persuasion letters into the city, asked immediately after they returned.
"Reinforcements from the direction of Chengdu are coming!"
I see! The two suddenly realized that the time had come to capture Mianzhu.
Half a day ago, Ma Chao cooperated with Ma Dai and led 2,000 cavalry to quietly evacuate from the rear of the camp, along the path, bypassing Mianzhu and heading towards Chengdu.
The two had only one purpose, and that was to receive the 50,000 reinforcements.
For Pang Le and Li Yi, Fa Zheng knows very well. In terms of the ability to command the army, the two of them said so-so in the past, if it weren't for Wei Yan sitting in Mianzhu, Fa Zheng would not have arranged it like this.
The next day, the Youzhou army continued to harass during the day, but returned to the camp early at night.
The night was deep, and at this time in Mianzhu City, there was already a sound of snoring.
At the head of Mianzhu City, a team of Yizhou soldiers leaned against the city wall, occasionally patrolling back and forth on the city wall. At this moment, a sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the distance outside the city and shouted, "There is someone over there, Commander!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the leading Wu Chang hurriedly led his subordinates to watch for a while.
Wu Chang pressed his arms on the battlements, and half of his body was stretched out of the city, hoping to see a little clearer. After a pause, he turned his head and said to himself: "The formation is not neat, and the number of people is not large, unlike the night attack of the Youzhou army!" Wait until you defend the city first, and I'll go and tell the general!" ”
After this Wu Chang finished speaking, he rushed down to the city in a hurry and ran towards Wei Yan's big tent!
Mianzhu was surrounded, the Youzhou army pressed the border, Wei Yan had just finished inspecting the city defense, and not long after lying down, he heard someone outside the tent tell that an unidentified army had come from outside the city, numbering tens of thousands.
Hearing this, Wei Yan was excited, hurriedly dressed neatly, and came out with the steel knife in his hand.
At this time, the army outside the city has come to the city, and the black pressure is slamming the door!
"Who's the door?" A loud shout came from the city, and the soldiers under the city were stunned.
"General, we are reinforcements!" A soldier replied hurriedly.
Wei Yan listened, leaned out to check, and then quickly retracted it. There is no problem with the flags and costumes, it is true that the soldiers of Yizhou are not fake.
It's just that the morale of the soldiers is not high and they are very decadent, so what's going on?
"Who is the main general under the city?" To be on the safe side, Wei Yan asked.
Hearing someone in the city asking a question, a person who looked like a general was squeezed out of the crowd, and the sky was too dark to see his face.
"General Wei, when we returned from quelling the rebellion against the Southern Barbarians, we were ordered by the state pastor to reinforce Mianzhu, and the soldiers did not get the time to correct, they were already exhausted and hungry, so I hope to open the city gate as soon as possible!"
"This is the handwritten edict of Lord Muzhou and Uncle Liu Huang!"
After saying that, the general took out a bag from his bosom and signaled that he could check it first.
The accent is Yizhou soldiers, the clothes are Yizhou clothes, and even the generals of the unified army are so sluggish, Wei Yan's helplessness should be a friendly army. But what's the point of such reinforcements?
Wei Yan was puzzled, he always felt that it was weird!
Hesitate! In the middle, a soldier had already put down the hanging basket and handed the bag to Wei Yan.
After reading the content, Wei Yan was sure that it was the reinforcements, but he still had a little doubt in his heart, why didn't this group of guys arrive during the day?
"I heard that the general was trapped in Mianzhu, and we came to the rescue at the risk of death in the starry night, but I didn't expect to be turned away! What does the general mean? Bully my army? The herald returned to Chengdu, and Lao Tzu quit! The generals of the city were impatient and scolded, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction in their words.
After speaking, the reinforcements began to turn around and prepare to return the same way.
"Open the door and welcome reinforcements into the city!"
Wei Yan hesitated again and again but decided to open the city gate, talking is better than nothing
The city gate "squeaked" slowly opened, the drawbridge "creaked" slowly fell, and the deputy general led by secretly made a gesture.
If it was daytime, Wei Yan would definitely recognize this person, under the helmet, it was clearly Youzhou Military Ma Chao's face.
The gates were wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, and the tired reinforcements stepped onto the drawbridge in a hurry, cursing and swearing incessantly.
The general who called the door hugged Wei Yanshang in the city and thanked him, and then followed the soldiers slowly towards the city, and a conspiracy succeeded in this way.
Wei Yan saw the army entering the city, he was still suspicious in his heart, and walked to the city, just about to open his mouth to apologize. After all, they are all friendly troops, and they are still counting on these 50,000 troops to defend the city, and it is not good for anyone to fall out at this time.
"General..."As he was talking, Wei Yan suddenly saw a strange look.
Before Wei Yan could speak, the reinforcements from the surrounding areas who had entered the city had already raised their blades and slashed at the Yizhou soldiers who welcomed him into the city!
Caught off guard, the defenders of the city gate had fallen to the ground.
Wei Yan didn't understand at this time, so he immediately raised his sword to meet the enemy, trying to gather his soldiers to fight for the city gate again. However, under the blow, Wei Yan was shocked in his heart.
The person in front of him was Ma Chao, who didn't fight that day!
