Chapter 32 Outwitting Jiangzhou
Yan Yan, as an archer general, suffered a loss in the bow and arrow today, and he was indignant and unwilling, struggling to get up from the fallen mount, his old and vicissitudes of life burst out with a burst of tiger energy, and the soldiers did not dare to help. Huang Zhonglanglang's laughter came from the opposite side, followed by the chaotic laughter of Jingzhou soldiers.
"The whole army prepares the rockets." Yan Yan shouted solemnly with an expressionless face.
Yan Yanjun took out the arrow feathers one after another and lit the fire. Huang Zhong was happy when he saw this, and he joked and shot at Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong also asked the soldiers to take out the arrow feathers, light the fire, and put them on the strings.
"Shoot." Yan Yan shouted.
"Shoot, boys." Huang Zhong waved his hand and shouted.
Rockets from both sides shot out like thousands of meteors falling in unison, and the vigorous burning fire covered the entire pale sky. In an instant, the arrow feathers of the two sides met in mid-air, "bang bang bang" was like thousands of iron nails colliding, and "bang bang" was like nearly 10,000 burning arrow feathers hitting the dead trees and dead trees. Before the colliding arrow feathers could fall, they were ignited by each other's fire, and then the sparks collided continuously, and more than 10,000 colliding arrow feathers burned in mid-air, and the violent smoke and dust generated by the combustion dispersed in the sky, reflecting the grand firelight, forming a real fire cloud.
The Yizhou soldiers all watched the fire in the air between the two armies, but they didn't want Huang Zhongjun to shoot another round after shooting one round of arrows. Some of Huang Zhongjun's second round of rockets shot very high, passing through the arrows in the air, thousands of rockets were fired at Yan Yanjun, and the soldiers who were watching the fire panicked and dodged in a hurry; There were also rockets fired at the dead wood on both sides of Yan Yanjun's army, and the dead wood in the middle of winter burned little by little, "whoosh", and Yan Yan's soldiers, who were dodging the rain of arrows, suddenly found themselves in a fire.
"General, retreat." A young general gasped and ran to Yan Yan's side and said.
"Ugh." Yan Yan was standing still, waving his bow to disperse the rain of arrows, and sighed helplessly and said, "Retreat." ”
Yan Yan's army withdrew to the city of Jiangzhou, and Huang Zhong wanted to pursue, but was blocked by the sea of fire, so he gave up and camped five miles away from the city.
On the second day, Yan Yan and the others were discussing how to break the enemy army on the city gate, when they suddenly saw a sergeant and shouted: "Open the door!" Yan Yan asked someone to put down the basket and pull him up, and he said that the master commanded Huang Zhong:
"Veteran Yan Yan, come and surrender early, I will teach you a few arrow moves, and then recommend you to the command of General Zhengnan."
Yan Yan was furious and scolded:
"How dare the puppet be so rude! Shall General Wu Yan betray the Lord for glory and surrender to the thief! Lend your mouth to speak with Huang Zhong! "Call the warrior to cut off the ear and nose of the messenger and return it to Huang Zhong's camp.
The envoy returned to Huang Zhong and cried that Yan Yan was slandering and insulting like this. Huang Zhong was furious, gritted his teeth and opened his eyes, put on his horse, Zhuge Liang was not easy to stop, Huang Zhong led hundreds of horsemen to Jiangzhou City to call for battle. The troops in the city followed Yan Yan and scolded in every possible way, Huang Zhong took out the unicorn bow, mounted nine arrows, and shot at the city, the soldiers in the city dodged one after another, and the nine arrows shot through the military flag.
Huang Zhong asked the hundred cavalry who came with him to put on arrows and shoot them at the city, and the guards in the city all hid under the city fence or under the city in the house, but they couldn't open the city gate to face the battle. Huang Zhong had to endure his anger and return to the village.
Early in the morning of the second day, Huang Zhong led the army to call for battle. Yan Yan, who had been waiting for Yan Yan at the city gate, shot an arrow, but this time Huang Zhong's mount was shot by Yan Yan's arrow. Huang Zhong took out the unicorn bow and fired a salvo of nine stars, Yan Yan hurriedly went down to the city to dodge, but was shot by Huang Zhong on the helmet, and the arrow feather carried the helmet on the wall of the city gate mansion. Yan Yan did not leave the city, and Huang Zhong returned empty.
On the third day, Huang Zhong led his army and searched for fighters along the city. Originally, Jiangzhou City was built in a fortress, surrounded by chaotic mountains, Huang Zhong climbed the peak and looked down at the city. When he saw that the soldiers were all dressed neatly and in strict formation, and were in the middle of the city, they did not come out; I also saw nearly a thousand people coming and going, moving bricks and stones, and helping to defend the city. Huang Zhong asked the soldiers to play and frolic on the spot, leading Yan Yan out of the city, but Yan Yan was stunned and did not react.
Huang Zhong turned to Zhuge Liang and said:
"Kong Ming, the young master asked us to go to Chengdu to join the division after capturing Jiangzhou City, but Jiangzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yan Yan can't defend it. I'm afraid that if we continue to wait, we will delay the young master's fighter, so let's take a detour to Chengdu first. ”
"That's all it can be." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said.
That night, Huang Zhong sat in the village and scolded:
"Yan Yan Pifu! The angry old man is also. ”
I saw three or four people in front of the tent saying:
"The general need not be anxious; In the past few days, I have found a small road, which can be stolen across Jiangzhou and directly to Chengdu. ”
"Now that you've taken this out, why don't you talk about it earlier?" Huang Zhong shouted deliberately.
"I only found out today." The soldier replied resignedly.
"Without further ado, today the second watch will make dinner, take advantage of the bright moon on the third watch, we will pull out the village and set off, the weapons are held in our hands, the horses remove the bells, and march quietly, I will open the road in front, and you will follow the orders of the military division to march in turn." When the order was given, the soldiers told each other.
The soldiers of Jiangzhou heard the news, returned to Jiangzhou City, and reported it to Yan Yan. Yan Yan Daxi said:
"I'm sure the man can't bear it. You steal the path past, and the grain and grass are heavy; I have intercepted your grain and grass, and what will you do when you pass? No strategy, my plan. So he asked the soldiers to prepare to go out of the city tonight to intercept.
It is said that the moon was bright that night, like daylight, and from time to time the sound of inopportune firecrackers sounded in the city, trembling Yan Yan's nerves. Yan Yan quietly led his army out of the city and ambushed in the forest. At about the third watch, I saw Huang Zhong himself in front, carrying a big sword horizontally and a unicorn bow on his shoulder, quietly leading the army forward. Huang Zhong walked three or four miles, and the teams of military horses and grain behind him marched one after another.
Yan Yan saw that the time had come, beat the drums together, and ambushed the troops in private. Yan Yan's vicissitudes of life laughed arrogantly, and he was snatching the baggage and dispersing the soldiers, when a gong sounded behind him, and a Biao army covered it and shouted:
"The thief is gone! That's what I've been waiting for! Yan Yan looked back violently, a veteran, with flying hair and a big sword and a fierce bow, was Huang Zhong. Yan Yan fought against Huang Zhong in a hurry, he was at a loss, he fought seven or eight times, Huang Zhong sold a flaw, Yan Yan slashed with a knife, Huang Zhong flashed, and knocked Yan Yan off the horse with a big knife; The soldiers stepped forward and tied them alive with ropes.
It turned out that this was Zhuge Liang's plan, Zhuge Liang flew over with a fake Zhang first, and expected that Yan Yan would intercept halfway, so he asked Huang Zhong and other generals to Mingjin as the number; After the golden sound, all the generals came, and the Sichuan soldiers panicked, and most of them abandoned their armor and surrendered.
Huang Zhong led the victorious army to the city of Jiangzhou, only to see the gate of Jiangzhou wide open. It turned out that the front team led by Zhuge Liang went around Jiangzhou and returned to the city gate, taking advantage of the moonlight to be covered by dark clouds, and the clothes and armor and banners could not be seen clearly, and Yan Yan and Huang Zhongjun were fighting with a loud noise, saying that they were the first to come back after the victory of the Jiangzhou soldiers, and General Yan Yan packed up his baggage in the rear army.
Zhuge Liang led the army into the city, and the city sergeants were few and neglected to defend, and captured the city in one fell swoop.
