Chapter 19: Sneak Attack on Yang'an Pass (3)

As soon as the group appeared, the sergeant on duty immediately noticed the anomaly and shouted in unison: "What person? Stop, there are spies ......"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Fu He and several Han generals almost discovered the change at the same time, except for Fu Yan, several other people drew their sabers to block Fu Yan behind them. At the same time, dozens of Han soldiers armed with swords, guns, swords and halberds also poured out from the simple tents in the depression, and quickly ran in front of Fu He to form a human wall fortification.

Guan Yi squinted at these Han soldiers with his hands behind his back. Although these Han soldiers were ragged and thin, there was a stoic look in everyone's eyes. This made Guan Yi suddenly think of the Wei soldiers who fought to the death under the Jiangyou army before, in order to achieve the strategic goal, the head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and they will not give up easily until the last moment. It seems that Fu Yan and his dozens of sergeants, who are in the hinterland of the Wei army, have no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside, and have already prepared the worst plan to die for the country.

Such an iron-blooded warrior, whether he is friend or foe, is worthy of respect.

The Han army in front of Fu Yi was protected by the few shields they had, and behind the shield bearers were archers armed with spears and crossbows, forming a simple arrow formation. Guan Yi smiled, since there was a large-scale armed attack formation, this kind of troop configuration structure has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it is still favored by soldiers to this day. Although these Han troops were not in good armor and their defensive equipment was incomplete, their reaction was extremely fast, and at a glance it was clear that they were battle-hardened and experienced in battle.

After setting up the formation, a general behind Fu Yan took two steps forward and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

Guan Yi was stunned, and then he patted his head and came to his senses, he was wearing armor, and he had not met Fu Yi for several years, and the equipment of the Eighteen Blood Guards was also very different from that of the regular Han Army, so it was no wonder that Fu Yi and the others were puzzled, and immediately took off their helmets and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you know the younger brother?" ”

"You...... Are you respectful? Fu Yi originally felt that he was a little familiar, but after seeing Guan Yi's true face, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's the little brother!" Guan Yi laughed, threw the helmet to Ehu, and strode towards Fu Yi, not taking to heart the tension that the two sides were in a confrontation with each other.

"Oops!" Fu Yi shouted, and after confirming that the general was indeed Guan Yi, he hurriedly signaled his sergeants to put down their weapons, and he ran out of the battle to meet Guan Yi, and said with a smile: "Brother, how did you get here?" ”

Guan Yi laughed, grabbed his arm and said, "Don't talk about this first, my brother and his subordinates must have suffered a lot, right?" Let's go back to the camp first and then talk slowly! ”

Fu Yi let out a long laugh heartily, although Guan Yi's appearance in the dense forest of Yinping Mountain made him feel a little incredible, but he did not have any doubts about Guan Yi's proposal. Since Guan Yi said so, there must be a better place to go, and regardless of this, let's settle down the team of thirty or forty people first.

The other generals naturally had no doubts, although they didn't know Guan Yi, but they were all clear-eyed people, and they knew that they were their own people, and from the expressions on the faces of Fu Yi and Guan Yi, it could be seen that the friendship between the two was extraordinary, and they immediately happily divided up and commanded the soldiers to pack up the camp tent and clean up the things that could still be used.

The group returned to the Xishan camp, and Guan Yi immediately ordered his sergeants to distribute the rations they carried with them to Fu Yi's soldiers, although it was not hot food, but for these Han soldiers who had not eaten for half a year, it was no different from a delicacy in the world.

In Guan Yi's Chinese army tent, Fu Yan met Chen Lie, Zhuge Shang and others, and sat down to eat and chat.

It turned out that when the Wei general Hu Lie led his troops to attack Yang'an Pass, Fu Yan insisted on holding the pass to wait for reinforcements, but the deputy general Jiang Shu falsely claimed to go out of the pass to meet the battle, and surrendered to the Wei army immediately after opening the gate.

In the melee between the two armies, Fu Yi realized that Guan Yi's warning in the letter was not untargeted, and under shame and resentment, he originally planned to die for the country, but fortunately, his henchmen who had followed him for many years were desperately discouraged, so he finally changed his mind, and led the dozens of remaining guards under his command to fight a bloody road, and tried his best to shake off the pursuit of the Wei army and hide on Yinping Mountain, but he didn't expect that this stay would take several months.

On weekdays, in addition to sending people down the mountain to the farmer's house to secretly raise grain and grass, Fu Tong hunted snakes and dug wild vegetables in the mountains, which was really miserable. Fortunately, they were not many in number, and their actions were extremely cautious, and the local villagers were secretly thoughtful, so they were never discovered by the Wei army.

As Guan Yi expected, in the past few months, Fu Yan and his subordinates have not had enough to eat, and they have suffered from eating and sleeping in the open.

Guan Yi listened to Fu Yi's detailed explanation, and he already knew the beginning and end of the matter. Fu Yan, as the main general guarding the pass, sat back and watched the deputy general Jiang Shu disobey the order and go out of the pass to meet the Wei soldiers, which directly led to the loss of the throat barrier from Hanzhong to Shu. If the imperial court is investigated, Fu He will inevitably bear the main responsibility.

But these are all later words, not to mention that Guan Yi has no right to dispose of Fu Yi, even if he has the right, with the friendship between Guan Yi and Fu Yi, Guan Yi can't bear to deal with him, or he doesn't want to deal with him at this juncture. Of course, if it is after the Han army recovers Hanzhong, the reward should be punished, and the general Jiang Wei and the imperial court will naturally have a public opinion.

Right now, Guan Yi inadvertently got Fu Yi's team, and his heart was already happy. Not to mention that Fu Yi is brave and invincible, he is a rare warrior in the world, even if he has dozens of personal guards, all of them are not afraid of death for the rest of their lives, and with such a new force, the sneak attack on Yang'an Pass undoubtedly has a few more chances of victory.

Guan Yi briefly described the experience of Jiangyou's great victory and the plan of this sneak attack on the Wei army's grain and grass to Fu Yan, who immediately asked for orders to lead his subordinates as the vanguard and take the lead in attacking Yang'an Pass.

Guan Yi smiled, Fu Yi lost the pass, he had a belly of fire in his heart, always thinking about counterattacking Yang'an Pass, and now he finally encountered an opportunity to be ashamed, so he naturally refused to let it go. But he had other plans in his heart, the purpose of this sneak attack on Yang'an Pass was to burn the grain and grass and military supplies hoarded by the Wei army on the pass, and force Zhong Hui to retreat, not to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army.

What's more, according to the news from the scouts, there are 5,000 elite Wei soldiers stationed in Yang'an Pass, and the person who leads the troops is the general Zhan Qinggang under Zhong Hui, and there are only less than 600 people in his own hands plus Fu Yan, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides is huge, and it is definitely not a wise move to fight head-on.

Fu Baixue was ashamed, obviously not the best candidate for a sneak attack. When Guan Yi was training the Blood Guard in Zitong, the sneak attack of a small group of troops had always been the top priority of the training, so the task of sneaking up on Yang'an Pass was naturally undertaken by the Blood Guard. Of course, in order to take care of Fu Li's face, Guan Yi politely refused Fu Li's request on the grounds that Fu He and his subordinates had been eating and sleeping in Yinping Mountain for several months and lacked physical strength, and only let him lead his subordinates to serve as backup.

Although Fu Yan was unwilling, he didn't think much about it. However, he and dozens of parts have been hiding on Yinping Mountain for several months, and although they have endured all the hardships, they are not all without gains. During this period, he had already let people find out the garrison of the Wei army in Yang'an Pass clearly, including the situation of the Wei army's duty at night, and this information was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for Guan Yi, and the blood guards had this information, and the certainty of the success of the sneak attack would be much greater.

According to Guan Yi's arrangement, the blood guard climbed into Yang'an Pass first, and after solving the Wei soldiers on duty, he opened the gate and enlarged the team to enter the pass. At that time, the blood guards will be divided into two teams, Zhuge Shang and Chen Lieyin will be responsible for burning the Wei army's grain and grass, and Guan Yi will lead the first team to burn the Wei army barracks in Guannei to intercept the Wei army from fighting fires. After succeeding, he immediately evacuated the Guannai and returned to the Yinpingshan camp along the way.

Guan Yi also deliberately emphasized that due to the disparity in the strength of the two sides, once the mission fails, all the horses must immediately withdraw from the Guannei to prevent being bitten by the Wei army. After all, Yang'an Pass is only a few dozen miles away from Seoul and Lecheng, and once the Wei army stationed in the garrison learns that Yang'an Pass is in an emergency, it is bound to reinforce in the shortest possible time, and this Han army of less than 600 people will inevitably fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy on its back and abdomen, and there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated.

All the generals are aware of the current situation of the Han and Wei armies, and Guan Yi's orders are naturally not disobeyed. The assignment was decided, and Guan Yi immediately ordered all the men and horses to seize the time to rest and prepare for the war.
