September 23, Ba County, Dianjiang, Wei Yan with 3,000 elite soldiers marched quickly, Ba County is divided into Badong, Brazil and Ba County itself, Brazil is where Langzhong is located, Zhang Ren was the place of the army, close to Hanzhong, and Zhuge Liang's battle situation, in fact, is only one of the three Ba County, but it is a land and water artery, surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wei Yan led 3,000 former Chang'an City Guards as a vanguard, one step ahead of the arrival here, just to find an opportunity to take advantage of Zhuge Liang's unstable foothold, open the door of Ba County, It is convenient for the ensuing Pang Tong army to drive straight into Ba County.

"General, fifty miles ahead, is Dianjiang City, this city is backed by the Dianjiang River, guarding the danger, although there is also a small road, which can lead to the Jiangzhou Plain, but if the army wants to enter, it can only take this road." Looking at the mountains surrounded by his face, Deng Xian, as Wei Yan's lieutenant general, hurriedly introduced the terrain of Ba County to Wei Yan.

When Wei Yan heard this, he couldn't help but nod silently, this road in Shuzhong is difficult to travel, even if there is a map, there is no one who knows the terrain to lead, and he can lose his way if he is not careful, in fact, from Langzhong to Chengdu, Wei Yan has already had a similar experience, and he can't help but be glad that Fa Zheng used that method to take down Liu Zhang, otherwise, just from Hanzhong all the way to Chengdu, if it is attacked, it will probably take a year or two just to recruit the road, let alone take down half of Yizhou at once.

"And what about these other paths?" Wei Yan couldn't help but be curious, it wasn't that he wanted to take the path, but he had to take precautions, if someone bypassed the path and came behind him, it would be bad.

"You have to go over the mountain, and you have to take the plank road in many places!" Deng Xian said when he heard this.

"Plank road?" Wei Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this, the so-called plank road, not even a road, is in some dangerous places where there is no passage, chisel through the mountain rocks, and insert the wooden planks horizontally into the paved road, not only difficult to walk, but also easy to fall off the plank road if you are not careful, not to mention the troops, not to mention the people, who have not lived in Shu since childhood, I am afraid that there is no way to pass.

As for the grain and grass and the baggage, if you want to pass on the plank road, you can only rely on the back, and don't think about the carriage and horses.

"General, look!" While the two were talking about the nearby terrain, a sharp-eyed guard suddenly pointed ahead.

"Huh?" Wei Yan looked in the direction pointed by the other party, but saw the end of the road in the distance, and found a few figures sneakily looking this way, Wei Yan hurriedly took out the clairvoyant mirror, looked over there, and looked at the clothes, it was the Jingzhou army.

"It's Zhuge Liang's scout!" Wei Yan's face sank, this place was already considered to have entered the scope of Ba County, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang's scout spies had already extended the scope of vigilance here.

"Go, grab some!" Waving his hand, Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Several scouts in charge of collecting intelligence in the army quickly rushed out, scouts and scouts are not everyone can be a horse, not only must be proficient in the martial arts of stepping down immediately, but also have quick eyes and hands, flexible minds, generally can serve as scouts, are all elite soldiers in the army, and the people who can serve as scouts in the former city guards under Lu Bu are even more unusual.

Wei Yanjun ordered, immediately a few sentry scouts rushed out, the speed was so fast, like a galloping horse, although the other party's scouts quickly retreated after seeing their whereabouts exposed, there were many gaps between the two sides, but the scouts here still quickly shortened the gap, less than a stick of incense, several scouts had already returned with two sentry spies, looking at the blood stains on each other's bodies, obviously there were some battles, so that Deng Xian couldn't help but marvel at the strength of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses.

"Get on your knees!" The two scouts pressed the captives down in front of Wei Yan.

"Where are you?" Wei Yan looked at the two Jingzhou soldiers and frowned.

"We are Dianjiang Tanma, General Deng Xian, we are people under General Yan, please ask the general to help!" When the two scouts saw Deng Xian, they hurriedly begged for help, obviously frightened by these Guanzhong soldiers before.

Seeing Wei Yan's gaze, Deng Xian nodded slightly, then looked at the two of them and said, "Let me ask you, who is the guard of Dianjiang City?" ”

"It's General Yan, when General Yan heard that Chengdu was breached, he had already surrendered to Jingzhou, and now he was sent to Dianjiang City to garrison under the command of Zhuge Liang, the commander of the Jingzhou Military Division." Don't expect these ordinary soldiers to have much loyalty, especially in the current situation of the split in Shuzhong, just like these two scouts now recognize Deng Xian, the two sides were originally robes, as long as they are caught, basically some information can still be obtained.

"How many garrisons are there in the city?" Wei Yan asked in a deep voice.

"This ......" the scout glanced at Deng Xian bitterly.

"Speak quickly!" Deng Xian frowned and shouted.

"This general, the villain is just a scout, the troops in the army are stationed separately, Mr. Zhuge will increase his troops here every day in the past few days, how many there are, the villain really doesn't know." The scout said bitterly.

Deng Xian nodded, turned his head to look at the scout, and said, "Let them go back." ”

"Whoa!" The two warriors let go of the two captured scouts as they were told.

"General, why is that?" Deng Xian looked at Wei Yan with a stunned expression.

"If I don't let them go, how will Yan Yan know that I'm here?" Wei Yan smiled slightly, looked at Deng Xian and said, "Is there a place nearby that can be used?" ”

……

Yan Yan, who didn't know Wei Yan's intentions, couldn't help but be taken aback when he learned that the Guanzhong army had arrived, he didn't expect the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to come so quickly.

"How many soldiers and horses did they bring?" Yan Yan looked at the scout and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the general, look at the posture, the number is only three thousand, but it is well-trained and very powerful." The scout who was put back hurriedly bowed and said.

"Awesome?" When Yan Yan heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "I want to see how powerful he is, come here, order eight thousand soldiers, and go with me!" ”

"General, could it be a trick by the enemy army to lure the general out of the city, and then ambush him?" The adjutant general couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this: "Or after leading the general out of the city, he will attack the Dianjiang with ambush troops." ”

Yan Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You are too timid, then Wei Yan has extra soldiers and horses, there are mountains and tombs all over this area, how to use it, I only took 8,000 people to meet the battle, and there are 10,000 people in the city. ”

The strong army in Guanzhong has long been famous all over the world, even if Yan Yan is confident, he will not fight Wei Yan with the same strength, and this time he directly ordered 8,000 troops to fight, but also to frustrate Wei Yan's sharp spirit.

Yan Yan is a famous general in Shu, and before Liu Yan entered Shu, he was already famous in Shu, asking himself whether he was in the art of war and martial arts, he would not be much worse than those famous generals in the Central Plains, but he did not have the opportunity to confirm himself, this time Zhuge Liang entered Shu, I thought there would be a vicious battle, but unfortunately, the Chengdu incident, even the lord was gone, and there was no point in fighting again, so he chose to surrender to Zhuge Liang.

But although it has fallen, the desire to compete with the famous generals of the Central Plains has not faded away, after all, no matter what the reason, the reputation of the demoted generals is not good after all, especially when Zhang Fei's arrogant maniac shows off his power all day long, Yan Yan needs a battle to prove himself.

Wei Yan is a good opponent, his fame is enough, and his identity is also one of the generals under Lu Bu, as long as he can defeat him, it is enough to make Yan Yan famous.

The 8,000 army under the leadership of Yan Yan marched out of the city in a menacing manner, and collided with Wei Yan twenty miles away from the Dianjiang River at nearly noon.

"Then the veteran is Yan Yan?" Wei Yan sat on the horse, put away the clairvoyant mirror, looked at Deng Xian beside him and asked.

"Yes, although this person is old, no matter the art of martial arts, looking at Shuzhong, only General Zhang Ren can be his enemy?" Deng Xian nodded.

"But an old soldier has such a skill." Wei Yan's face was pale, and he watched the other party's soldiers and horses stop, and a smile swept up on the corner of his mouth: "Teach me to see the famous generals in Shu, how is it!" ”

Yan Yan also ordered the attack, but scattered the soldiers and horses, and spread out in a formation similar to the cloth bag array, although this will cause the dispersion of troops, but the strong bow and crossbow in Guanzhong have long been famous all over the world, so the formation can effectively reduce the lethality of the bow and arrow, and this array seems to be loose, but in fact it hides a killing machine, if the other party takes the opportunity to attack, it will reveal the dense formation in the rear, and then the two sides will surround it, completely wrap the other party in the cloth bag, and conduct close combat, so that the opponent's strong bow and crossbow lose its effectiveness.

Wei Yan has also been in battle for a long time, and he can see at a glance that the other party is so arranged, but he is actually uneasy and kind, and he can't help but sneer: "I have some skills, but it's not enough to see!" ”

As he spoke, the command flag in his hand waved again and again, and the three thousand elites quickly slapped into three rows, and began to crush the other party in the basin area, which was not very wide, and began to shoot arrows with a crossbow that had already been loaded with an arrow box at a distance of three hundred steps, but saw that the opposite array quickly took out a teng shield.

It is not the kind of rattan armor in the Southern Barbarians, but it is also made of rattan weaving, although it is not as high as the kind of rattan armor that has been soaked in oil, but it is also better than ordinary wooden shields, and at a distance of three hundred steps, even the powerful crossbow in Guanzhong cannot shoot through the opponent's Teng shield at such a distance.

"This is Teng Dun, which is imitated from the rattan armor in the Southern Barbarians, and it is sturdy, far beyond ordinary wooden shields, and it is very light." Deng Xian explained on the side.

"I see, no wonder you dare to shake my crossbow array, but I don't know how long that Teng Dun can last?" Wei Yan nodded when he heard this, waved the flag, continued to maintain the shooting of arrow clusters, and began to move forward at the same time, the three rows of men and horses continued to move their positions, and after the shooters in the front row shot the arrow boxes into the air, they quickly retreated, and the shooters in the back row followed closely and continued to shoot, forming a continuous suppression of arrow clusters, and Yan Yan also began to shrink the formation and drive towards this side.

As the two sides continued to recede, the power of the crossbow became more and more powerful, and when it reached two hundred steps, many generals' Teng Dun began to be shot through, and casualties began to appear, making Yan Yan frown, and shouted sharply: "Raise the shield, charge!"
