Chapter 079: Fighting Back on the Deathbed
"What?" Zhang Wei and Yang Ren were shocked, Zhang Wei kicked down the soldier and said sharply: "How is it possible? Yan Yan only has thousands of soldiers, and Yang Ang has 10,000 guards, how can he say that he will lose it? ”
"It's a real general, at dawn today, Yan Yan brought more than 3,000 people to challenge, General Yang Ang thought that Yan Yan had few soldiers and went out of the city to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly tens of thousands of troops suddenly came out of the rear, our army couldn't resist, the battle took less than half an hour, Tiandang Mountain fell into the hands of the Sichuan army, and General Yang Ang was unfortunately killed."
"Alas, Yang Ang misunderstood me." Zhang Wei slammed his fists on the battlements, and he only hated why these generals were so greedy for merit and disobeyed military orders.
Yang Ren frowned and said: "General, don't blame the general, the last general thinks that Yang Ang is no wonder about this matter, even if the last general will fight in that situation, after all, it is a fact that Liu Zhang's army is in Baishui Pass, Yan Yan's soldiers are less than 10,000, even if he is defeated in battle, it is not difficult to defend the pass, the key is where the tens of thousands of troops come from." ”
"That's right." Zhang Wei also came to his senses and said to the soldiers: "Liu Zhang's army is obviously under Baishui Pass, where are the tens of thousands of troops, will Liu Zhang scatter beans and become soldiers?" Didn't you wait for the loss of the key and excuse the prevarication? ”
Zhang Wei said that he was about to cut the soldier by pulling out his sword, the soldier collapsed to the ground in fright, Yang Ren hurriedly persuaded him: "General Zhang, it is useless to punish anyone now, Tiandang Mountain has been lost, we should think about where to go first." ”
"Ugh." Zhang Wei slashed his sword on the wall, sand and stones splashed, and asked Yang Rendao: "What is General Yang's good plan?" ”
"If Dangshan has been lost today, and Baishuiguan has become an isolated city, we must retreat to Dingjun Mountain before Liu Zhang's army cuts off our grain route and returns."
"Nope." Zhang Wei waved his hand, paced back and forth, thought for a while, and said: "My brother entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, I can't just lose the pass in vain, I want to turn defeat into victory." ”
"What does the general want?"
Should have received the news of the victory of Tiandang Mountain, the Sichuan soldiers in front of Baishui Pass dragged their tired bodies to retreat, all of them seemed to be amnesty, Zhang Wei pointed to those tired soldiers and said:
"General Yang, do you see it? Those Sichuan troops are at the end of their crossbows, it's a pity that we don't kill them, since Liu Zhang uses them to contain our troops, then we have to make them pay the price, I will, attack the camp tonight, destroy this group of Sichuan troops, in order to eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”
"General, no." Yang Ren hurriedly persuaded: "Even if we defeat the Sichuan army in front of us, what can we do? If Liu Zhang cuts off the rice cang road, we will be cut off from returning, and I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out. ”
Zhang Wei raised his head and said: "I don't know this truth, but has General Yang thought about it, Liu Zhang poured out of the nest, how many troops are left in Jiameng Pass?" Now Liu Zhang's victory in Tiandang Mountain, the armies of all walks of life will inevitably be arrogant, the general will have 30,000 elite soldiers, but a group of Sichuan military camps in front of the village, and then rush to attack Jiameng Pass overnight, Jiameng Pass will be defenseless, this battle can be won with eighty percent certainty, General Yang, is this not worth a fight? ”
Yang Ren thought about it, Zhang Weizhi's words were indeed reasonable, but he still said worriedly: "General Zhang, after all, this is too risky, and the last general thinks that it is better to retreat to Dingjun Mountain, and it can be guaranteed." ”
"Dingjun Mountain is the last line of defense in Hanzhong, we retreat to Dingjun Mountain is to put Hanzhong in a dangerous situation, and take Jiameng Pass, anti-encirclement of Liu Zhang, annihilation of Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition Army, Hanzhong can be safe for ten years, if you kill Liu Zhang, you will be able to take Xichuan by homeopathy, and the army is a risk, and you will think that this risk is worth taking, since General Yang Ren is afraid, then bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to Dingjun Mountain."
Yang Ren clasped his fists and bowed: "Since the general has made up his mind, Yang Ren should follow." ”
It was night, the camp of the Sichuan army outside Baishui Pass was brightly lit, Wei Yan and Leng Bao sat opposite each other and drank, Leng Bud laughed: "This battle, beautiful, Mr. Fa is really a god, the army of 30,000 is divided into ten teams, and they attack in turn, but they unknowingly transfer the troops one by one, and the remaining troops continue to attack each time with different flags, and the children of the Han people in Baishui Pass still think that the main army is in front of Baishui Pass, but they don't know that the main prince has already gone to Tiandang Mountain with more than 20,000 troops, but it is a pity that I Leng Bao failed to participate in the war, it is a pity." ”
"It's a pity that you're a foot soldier, and I'm called unlucky." Wei Yan took a sip of wine: "I knew that I would not fight in the first battle, and I killed a straw bale Yang Bai, but I didn't get any results, and I became a familiar face in Baishuiguan, so that now I can only sit here and drink stuffy wine." ”
"Hahaha." Leng Bao laughed a few times: "General Wei, don't be angry, with the talent of a general, sooner or later he will lead one side alone, and when the defenders of Baishui Pass retreat, we will beat the water dogs, and there is an opportunity to make contributions." ”
"That's right, drink."
"Drink."
The two of them had a good drink, and suddenly a sentry broke into the tent and said in a panic: "Oh no, two generals, we saw that the defenders of Baishui Pass poured out to kill our army camp, and now it is less than five miles." ”
"What?" Wei Yan slapped the table and stood up: "Zhang Wei is crazy, isn't he afraid that the return road will be cut off and the whole army will be wiped out?" ”
"How can it be?" Leng Bao also stood up and said hatefully: "Fortunately, General Wei had the foresight to set up a sentry despite the fatigue of the sergeants, I have already lost a battle, if I lose the camp again this time, I will have no shame to face the lord, I will go to fight with Zhang Wei." ”
"Wait." Wei Yan called Leng Bao back, although Wei Yan was arrogant and arrogant, he did not lack brains, and he instantly analyzed it powerfully, frowned and said: "Our army has 7,000 tired soldiers, Zhang Wei has nearly 30,000 strong soldiers, several times more than our army, and our army has been attacking the city for several days, and the fatigue is abnormal, and the whole army will be wiped out if you fight hard." ”
"General Wei means we retreat?"
"What's more, doesn't General Leng know where our rear is? Jia Meng Pass, we are all drinking here, can Yang Huai of Jia Meng Pass be prepared? If Jia Meng Pass is lost, I will die and will not be redeemed. ”
"What then? According to what General Wei said, we have no way to fight, no way to retreat, and we have reached a dead end. ”
Wei Yan thought about it, suddenly raised his eyebrows, made up his mind, walked to the door of the military tent with a bowl of wine, and shouted: "Order, the whole army assembles, if you haven't gotten up after drinking this bowl of wine, your companions will kill them immediately." ”
Wei Yan drank one bite at a time, and the tired sergeant quickly climbed out of the military tent, his armor was not neat, his clothes were uneven, and he was all tired, Wei Yan smashed the bowl and said loudly: "Bring all the drums and gongs in the camp, the whole army will follow me, the torches in the camp must not be extinguished, the horses will be stationed in the camp, and no one shall make a sound, and those who violate it will be killed." ”
Wei Yan took the knife and strode out of the camp, Leng Bao hurriedly caught up and said, "General Wei, are you going to abandon the camp?" ”
"Anyway, if you can't hold it, why don't you give up?"
Wei Yan led the army out of the camp and escaped into the mountains and forests next to him, Leng Bao only thought that Wei Yan was going to retreat into Jiameng Pass, but he didn't expect Wei Yan to go east along the jungle all the way, ambushed in the mountains on the bank of the Bailong River, and passed by Zhang Wei's army in the middle.
"The whole army is resting, and when I shout to kill, the whole army must fight hard, just a matter of a hammer, if anyone pretends to be a bear, Ben will immediately split him."
"General Wei, what are you doing here?" Leng Bud was surprised by Wei Yan's actions.
Wei Yan let out a heavy breath: "General Leng, it's up to us tonight, if we win a big victory, we will be famous all over the world, if we lose, we will be crushed, I'm afraid." ”
"What's so scary, it's just ......" Leng Bao still didn't know what Wei Yan was going to do, and he couldn't see any signs of fame in the world.
