"What? How many enemies are there? "I met the main force of the enemy army here, which was obviously a bit unexpected by Yan Liang.

The scout shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's too dark, and there is smoke and dust everywhere, so I can't see clearly." ”

"Oh? Could this be the enemy's suspicious tactic to scare us into withdrawing from Chiyang City? Yan Liang asked with some confusion when he heard the scout's return.

Then he seemed to be more sure of his own speculation. To say that when he was in Zhangjia College, he also learned some things. For example, there are several possibilities for discovering that the enemy army is too large in smoke and dust, and one of them is that the enemy's suspicious tactics are not many soldiers in the first place, and this is done in order to pull the banner and pull the tiger's skin.

Thinking about the intelligence, the main force of the Liu and Dong coalition forces was either using troops against Xiliang, or they were guarding Yin City, which should not appear here, Yan Liang waved his hand to his subordinates indifferently and said: "Don't worry about them for now, see what the situation is saying." ”

Because Yan Liang didn't pay too much attention to it, he lost this opportunity to leave the city. When the day was completely bright, and the smoke and dust had cleared, he had gone up to the city wall, and only then did he see who the enemy was, and he could not help but be shocked at this look.

Looking down from the city wall, the enemy turned out to be densely packed, and there was no end in sight, this result was completely unexpected by Yan Liang, and he knew that he was probably surrounded.

"What about the general?" The other generals also saw this scene, and couldn't help but look at Yan Liang with nervous expressions.

Worthy of being a general who had led hundreds of thousands of troops, Yan Liang quickly sobered up in surprise. He knew that he must not panic at this time, otherwise the soldiers in the army would be seriously frustrated, and in that case, there would be no need to fight this battle.

"It's okay, it's just being surrounded. Hold on to the city, and when the army of our legion arrives, we can counter the siege, so that the center blooms, and we can win. Yan Liang said with great confidence.

There is truth in such a statement, but even if Yan Liang thought of it, how could the enemy not think of it? Not to mention, this sudden appearance of the enemy was still commanded by Zhuge Liang himself.

Yes, the enemy is Liu Bei's army, led by Zhuge Liang, 200,000 people. Among them, there are also Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiu, a fierce general like 10,000 enemies.

Zhuge Liang was originally guarding the Yin City, at least to the outside world. But in reality there were only a thousand of them, but they were all under the banner of a whole army, in order to give people a false impression that they were in the city.

In fact, Zhuge Liang had already led people to withdraw from the Yin City and returned to the north of Chang'an, not far from Chiyang City.

Zhuge Liang is worthy of being the first wise man of his time, he has long expected that in the case of a frontal attack blocked, it is likely that Zhang Chao's army will pass through Gaolu and go to Chiyang to cut off his back road, so he is waiting early.

Of course, even if no one does it, that's fine. He will take the opportunity to lead his troops into Chiyang, cross the high continent, attack Xinfeng City, cut off the back road of Zhang Chao's army, and form a two-sided attack with Dong Zhuo's general Wang Fang.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang has no last resort, no matter what Zhang Chao's army wants to do, he can take the initiative by staying here. And it was at this time that Yan Liang appeared and also captured Chiyang City.

When the news came, Zhuge Liang immediately made a decision and surrounded Chiyang City under the cover of night.

When rushing into the city, what he did was to prepare with both hands, once Yan Liang withdrew from the city, he would naturally catch up and rush out with the momentum of the wind sweeping the leaves. Of course, Zhuge Liang thinks that such a situation is unlikely to happen, thinking how proud Zhang Chaojun is, how can he withdraw without even figuring out who the enemy is and how many?

Now it seems that Zhang Chao's army is really very proud, and has no intention of leaving the city, and is completely surrounded in the city.

After encircling Yan Liang, Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the third general Zhang Fei to lead 100,000 troops to ambush on the road from Gaolu to Chiyang, and he was going to encircle the point to send reinforcements.

The enemy that suddenly appeared outside the city surprised Yan Liang, and at the same time, it also made him put his hope on the main force of the legion behind him. He had already roughly seen that Liu Bei's army besieging the city should have 100,000 people, if it was only like this, then it might not be able to take advantage of himself and the main force of the legion. Therefore, he released the Flying Eagle Transmission in his hand and informed the regiment commander Xu Rong and military advisor Li Ru of the situation here.

Commander Xu Rong and Li Rujun, who had just left Gaolu City, soon got the news that Chiyang was besieged, and after receiving the message from Shang Yanliang, both of them were surprised. Especially when he knew that it was not Dong Zhuojun, but 200,000 Liu Bei's army, and even Zhuge Liang was among them, the latter had a dignified face.

Before leaving, in Jinyang City, the lord Zhang Chao once said that he must be careful of Zhuge Liang. He didn't really think much of it at the time.

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Li Ru, although Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei make a lot of military exploits and stabilized the situation, but if he really fought against Zhang Chao, there were not a few times. Only the last time the alliance of the four princes attacked Zhang Chao, Guan Yu was dispatched, and that battle still suffered a loss.

Because of this, Li Ru didn't take this person seriously. But now that I look at it, this person really has some skills.

"Strategist, what should I do?" Xu Rong saw that the situation had changed unpredictably, so he asked Li Ru for advice.

"It doesn't matter. They only have 200,000 men, and their forces are not much stronger than ours. And as long as we can entangle them, the four legions can capture the Yin City and occupy Chang'an, so that they can encircle Liu Bei's army in the back, if this is the case, then we will change from passive to active. ”

Li Ru reacted quickly, although the situation in front of him seemed to be a little bad, but he quickly seized the opportunity. "Come on, immediately inform the Fourth Army Corps of the situation here, and ask them to quickly attack Yin City, occupy Chang'an, and attack the enemy of Chiyang on both sides with us and others."

The order was quickly elicited by the scouts, and the Flying Eagle Herald was sent out. Under the double insurance, I believe that this news will soon reach the ears of Fu Zhi, and he should also know what to do.

Seeing that Li Ru wanted to turn passive into active, the legion commander Xu Rong first nodded in agreement, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked out loud, "Strategist, but in this case, what should General Yan Liang of Chiyang City do?" ”

As soon as he talked about this problem, Li Ru's face became much more serious, "This... It depends on his creation and ability. As long as he can hold the city, it will create an opportunity for our army to encircle them, and it will be the first credit. ”

"It's not easy, is it?" Xu Rong's attention was not on the first merit, but on whether Yan Liang could hold it, and it was obvious that Li Ru's intention was not to ask for help from Chi Yang, which was originally a prudent move. Even if Liu Bei's army suddenly appeared, if he said that there was no ambush ahead, he would not believe it. But if it can't be defended, then Chiyang will become dangerous, along with the 50,000 soldiers there.

"It is not easy to hold on, come here, and use the Flying Eagle to inform General Yan Liang." Li Ru said very decisively. Although such an approach is likely to sacrifice this fierce general, if you can inflict heavy damage on Zhuge Liang's army, occupy Yongzhou, and rescue Xiliang, it will be worth it no matter how you look at it.

Li Ru is such a character, in order to achieve the ultimate victory, he is unscrupulous. Don't say that he lost a fierce general, but he could risk his life for the sake of victory.

Xu Rong, who knew Li Ru's character very well, saw that he had decided to do something, so he couldn't say anything, and he could only pin his hopes on Yan Liang, hoping that he could defend Chiyang City.

Yan Liang, who was in Chiyang City, soon received a new order from Li Ru, the military advisor under the Flying Eagle Transmission. When he saw that he was ordered to defend Chiyang City, he immediately gathered his generals to discuss the matter of defending the city.

In Chiyang City, although the people have not all been evacuated, there is not much left. I don't know if I have prepared in advance, there are really not many tools that can be used to defend the city in the city, such as sleepers, boulders, fire oil, etc. are also very limited.

"Pass the order, all the houses that no one lives in will be demolished, and all the usable things in them will be transported to the city tower." Yan Liang issued orders to their generals.

As soon as the order was given, 50,000 soldiers moved, and suddenly the houses in more than seven cities in the city were demolished, and all the fire oil and other materials used by the people were collected.

The movement in the city, especially the dust caused by the demolition of the house, attracted the attention of Liu Bei's soldiers who were guarding outside the city. The news also quickly spread to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the tent, there is a person holding a goose feather fan in one hand sitting in the first place, wearing a white robe and a confident demeanor, this person is Zhuge Kongming.

"Strategist, there is movement in Chiyang City, causing infinite smoke and dust." And some of the scouts came into the house and knelt on the ground and bowed.

"This is to defend Chiyang City." Zhuge Liang nodded lightly. Then he turned his eyes and asked General Zhang Xiu on the side: "Is there any news from the third general?" ”

"No, Xu Rong is retreating in Gaolu City, and there is no sign of reinforcements." Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and said.

"Don't you send reinforcements? It seems that he trusts Yan Liang quite a bit. Zhuge Liang was indeed not in a hurry or annoyed when he heard this, but smiled and smiled.

This time, he suddenly appeared outside Chiyang City, and he must have caught Zhang Chao's Sixth Army by surprise, but why not the opportunity? Presumably, the wise military master of the Sixth Legion, Li Ru, wanted to trap himself here. Hehe, it's just that he had already planned to do so, how could he allow such a thing to happen? General Wang Fang, who was guarding the Yin City, had already ordered that once Zhang Chao's four legions attacked too fiercely, they would retreat to Chang'an, how could they hold on for a while with the tall city walls there, with that time, he would be enough to destroy the six legions in front of him, and even if it went well, he would send troops to Gaolu City, and it was not necessary to block the back road of the four legions in the detour to Xinfeng City.
