Chapter 542: Hold on to the camp and ride the camp

Under Sima Yi's sharp questioning, the messenger, who was so frightened that he was not possessed, stammered everything he knew.

It turned out that when the Han army besieged the city before, the military spirit of Jianyang was already turbulent. But this turmoil did not last long, and gradually calmed down after Niu Jin led reinforcements to Nan to gather.

Defending the city is most afraid of being isolated and helpless, and if there are reinforcements from outside, the morale of the army will naturally be calmed.

Later, as Sima Yi continued to lead reinforcements to arrive, the morale of the army in Jianyang City was not only calmed, but even rose by a wave.

At that time, every sergeant in the city thought that with the reinforcements from outside the city, even if they could not repel the Han army, they could at least keep the thorny sun worry-free.

Originally, things had come to this point, and everything was going for the better.

But what he never expected was that on the day that Sima Yi led the army to gather in Nan, he withdrew in a hurry.

Sima Yi not only withdrew the soldiers and horses he brought, but even asked Niu Jin's troops to return with him.

Sima Yi did this because he was worried about the safety of Wancheng, but because this incident happened in a hurry, the defenders of Jianyang didn't know about it.

In their opinion, the truth of the matter is that the reinforcements, which originally represented hope, were withdrawn in a hurry as if they had lost the battle after a symbolic appearance.

This scene fell in the eyes of the defenders of Thorn Sun, what would they think? It's nothing more than that the reinforcements have abandoned them.

When this thought gradually surfaced in the hearts of the defenders of Thorn Sun, a kind of turmoil that was even more turbulent than before appeared in Thorn Sun City.

There is no hope for people, and it is already a terrible thing.

What's even more terrifying is that hope appears and then disappears abruptly.

Between this gain and loss, even with the top psychologists of later generations, they may not be able to stabilize the morale of the army, not to mention the already fragile Thorn Yang defenders?

Of course, there are not people who are not calm in Thorn Yang City, such as the messenger who escaped from Thorn Yang City in front of him.

But among the thousands of defenders, people like the Messenger have always been rare.

And just after a violent panic gradually permeated the city of Thornyang, tens of thousands of Han troops suddenly appeared outside the city of Thornyang.

The defenders of Jianyang City were all elite soldiers left by Sima Yi before, and they naturally saw that the tens of thousands of Han troops that suddenly appeared outside the city were no less elite than their regular soldiers.

When tens of thousands of Han troops appeared outside Thorn Yang City, they undoubtedly became a grain of sparks, directly detonating the already long-standing Thorn Yang City.

As a direct consequence of this, there was civil strife in the city of Thorn Sun.

After the defeat of the Wei army in the Battle of Xiangfan that year, in order to quickly replenish the troops, Sima Yi recruited many Jingzhou warriors.

This move was forced by the current situation, but compared with the Wei army that went south from the north, the Wei army recruited locally in Jingzhou did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Great Wei, and they would not be constrained by the "law of death and death".

Under this internal factor, the local soldiers of Jingzhou in Jianyang City directly fought with other Wei troops in the city.

And Li Yan, the commander of the Han army outside the city, immediately led his army to attack Jianyang City after seeing the internal strife in Jianyang City.

Under the internal and external troubles, how could Thorn Yang City not be lost?

After listening to the messenger finish talking about the whole process of the loss of Thorn Yang City, only a stunned look appeared on Sima Yi's face.

It wasn't until this moment that he understood that Zhang Fei's real target at the beginning was Thorn Yang City.

Zhang Fei knew that attacking Wancheng through Nieyang would face the danger of logistical instability, and Wancheng City was strong and thick, and it was almost impossible to capture it without a stable grain route.

So he came up with a plan to lure the enemy from the real and the false.

First, through a big fanfare, he told himself that his target was Thorn Yang City.

However, he did not immediately lead his army to storm Thorn Yang City, because he knew that he would definitely lead a large number of reinforcements to rush to the aid of Thorn Yang City.

So at first, he only sent tens of thousands of Han troops as a suspicious army to bluff and lure himself out of Wancheng.

However, Zhang Fei deliberately left a flaw, allowing himself to deduce that the Han army outside Jianyang City was a suspicious army, and his worries about Wancheng were raised to the highest level at once.

At the same time, Zhang Fei regarded himself as a new suspicious army, and led an army from Nieyang to attack Wancheng, so that he would be desperate to return to Wancheng.

In this case, even if he failed to see that the Han army outside Jianyang City was a suspicious army, once he learned that Zhang Fei led the army to appear outside Wancheng, he would definitely lead the army back to help.

And Zhang Fei deliberately led the army to block the passage back to Wancheng with his army, so that he did not dare to lead the sergeant to take a step, which was also part of his plan.

When the above strategies were completed, Zhang Fei tried to see the dagger and sent Li Yan, the general of Xinye, to lead the army to storm Thornyang City.

Zhang Fei's above tactics can be described as interlocking, true and false, so that people can only follow his steps.

Because Zhang Fei firmly grasped the key success point of the above strategy - the safety of Wancheng is greater than everything!

After fully understanding Zhang Fei's overall plan, Sima Yi's body couldn't help but stumble, and a wry smile came out of his mouth again and again.

No wonder in the First World War in Brazil, Zhang Feineng wiped out the famous general Zhang He, who had been famous for many years.

If Mi Yang came up with the above chain plan here, Sima Yi would not be shocked.

Sima Yi would never be so negligent. But now it is Zhang Fei who is fighting against him!

It's Zhang Fei, who has always been rough in appearance and likes to be the first to be killed! A 10,000-strong enemy, with so many hearts and eyes, is this appropriate?

It is said that Mi Yang was taught by Liu Bei back then, which should be misinformation. Mi Yang should be the teacher of Zhang Fei!

All the generals in the tent were shocked by the news of Jianyang, and after seeing Sima Yi's deep blow, their mentality was even worse.

Niu Jin, who reacted the fastest, stepped forward to support Sima Yi's body, and then asked anxiously in his mouth:

"Thorn Yang has been lost, where should our army go?" Niu Jin's words asked the hearts of the generals present.

The biggest threat to them at the moment is that the tens of thousands of Han troops outside the city of Jianyang can continue to move north without hindrance.

And once the tens of thousands of Han soldiers did this, weren't they just dumplings by the Han army now?

There is Zhang Fei's army blocking the road in front, and he is about to face the outflanking of tens of thousands of Han troops in the back, which is simply no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground!

In an instant, all the generals in the tent looked at Sima Yi.

There was worry and fear in their eyes, and there was confusion in their eyes.

Or would they also follow the example of Cao Hong and Cao Zhen and flee from the mountains and forests on the side of the official road?

In recent years, due to Mi Yang's blows, the life-saving trick of escaping from the mountains and forests has almost become a natural skill for many Wei generals.

But Sima Yi is Sima Yi after all.

Although he was careless and inexperienced, Zhang Fei's plan succeeded, but his wisdom still allowed him to figure out a way out.

Sima Yi immediately said categorically to the generals in the tent: "At this time, our army must not retreat!"

Once our army retreats, when the two thief armies join forces, will Wancheng still be able to hold on?

And if the prince learns that Wancheng is lost, even if we can escape from the mountains and forests, will the prince let us go? ”

Sima Yi's two consecutive rhetorical questions immediately stabilized the morale of the army. Because it is clear that there is only one answer to those two rhetorical questions.

When escape is not the way to live, the only thing left is to fight to the death.

Seeing that Zhu Zhu's words re-energized the morale of the army, Sima Yi then said his coping strategy.

"A few days ago, I sent an envoy to contact Jia Gong, the assassin of Yuzhou, Yuzhou and Wancheng are very close, Jia Gong will definitely lead the army to help us after getting the news.

Although our army is facing the risk of being surrounded by enemy troops at the moment, as long as our army can hold the main road, then Zhang Fei's grain route will not be smooth.

As long as Jia Gong led the army to arrive, and sent the state cavalry to constantly attack and harass Zhang Fei's part of the Han army's grain and grass, then it will not be long before Zhang Fei will lead the army to retreat. ”

In this case, it is indeed a rare thing for Sima Yi to be able to react quickly to find a way out.

After listening to Sima Yi's words, the uneasiness in his heart gradually stabilized.

They don't know if this strategy works, but it's not a good idea.

After talking about his strategy, Sima Yi issued many military orders in a row, asking the generals to go down and act according to the orders.

After the generals left, Sima Yi couldn't help but look at Jia Gong in the east, you must lead the army to come as soon as possible!

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and Sima Yi met a person like Zhang Fei who can't be idle.

On the third day when Sima Yi got the news of the fall of Jianyang, Zhang Fei also got the news.

In fact, Zhang Fei was also a little surprised that Jianyang could be captured by the Han army so quickly. The occurrence of civil strife in Thorn Yang was something that Zhang Fei had not expected before.

It can only be said that in the dark, there is a fixed number of drinks and pecks. He originally planned to fool Sima Yi for a while longer. But it was a great joy that Thorn Yang could win it according to his vision.

Zhang Fei, who was happy in his heart, also knew that he didn't need to hide it anymore. On the day he learned the news, Zhang Fei ordered someone to blow the drums of war.

Soon after the majestic war drums sounded, Zhang Fei rode first and led tens of thousands of Han troops to press towards the Wei army camp.

Zhang Fei wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was still some surplus food to see if he could capture the Wei army camp in one go.

And when Sima Yi of the Wei army camp learned the news that Zhang Fei led the army to attack the camp, he was so shocked that he directly put on his armor and came to the gate of the camp to observe the offensive situation of the Han army.

In order to save their lives, over this period of time, more than 10,000 Wei troops have built camps, which can be described as forgetting to sleep and eat.

With the unremitting efforts of more than 10,000 Wei troops, the defense facilities of the Wei army camp have basically been improved.

For example, the ground in front of the Wei army camp was covered with antlers.

In Sima Yi's sight, he saw that Zhang Fei, who was riding first, was close to the position of rejecting the horse in the front row.

Just when Sima Yi thought that Zhang Fei would stop, a move made by Zhang Fei make Sima Yi's eyes widen.

I saw Zhang Fei riding the black horse into the air, and when the hooves of the black horse were about to land, Zhang Fei took out the spear in his hand in time and swept away the rejected horse on the ground in front of him.

The hard rejection horse, under Zhang Fei's sweeping, is as fragile as a child's toy.

And with the help of his superb martial arts, Zhang Fei has single-handedly broken into the horse rejection array.

Sima Yi was shocked when he saw this scene, and he hurriedly ordered the archers in the Wei army camp to fire arrows at Zhang Fei.

A moment later, a rain of arrows shot towards Zhang Fei.

And Zhang Fei was not in a hurry at all after seeing the rain of arrows coming towards him, he used his spear to protect his body, and at the same time, he flexibly drove the black horse under his crotch to keep entering and exiting inside and outside the horse rejection array.

After many times of entering and exiting, there were constantly rejection horses that cracked under Zhang Fei's sweep. Zhang Fei's brave performance attracted the dumbfounded Wei army.

It's just that as the rain of arrows became more and more rapid, Zhang Fei finally drove his horse out of the rejection formation.

Before and after riding his horse back to the formation of his own army, Zhang Fei ordered the Han army behind him to shout in unison:

"What a ride!

Don't you think I can't do anything about you? Don't you think I can't take the thorn sun? Is that the case?

Wanton, flying, and humiliating, these three emotions were mixed together with the help of this sentence, and they exploded in the hearts of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers like thunder, making them terrified.

Who is Zhang Fei?

Wise and brave, the general of the big Han chariot is also!

Some people died, but not completely......
