Chapter 17 Lost Wan City

The Wei army, who had worked hard to rush out of Luyang Road, finally saw the light, as long as they crossed Fangcheng, it was the Nanyang Basin of Pingchuan, and they could join Xu Huangbu, and there was nothing to stop them. Sima Yi ordered a rapid advance, but he also knew that when the Wei army had not yet mastered the pigeon technique, the transmission of information would never be able to catch up with Ji Han. However, the soldiers are fast, even if the news of the Han army is fast, they must have time to prepare.

Sima Yi was extremely right, in fact, they almost snatched Fang Cheng. When the Wei army's front army attacked Fangcheng, Zhuge Qiao's men and horses had just arrived in Fangcheng.

The Wei army's front route army quickly rushed towards the continuous camp on the top of Fangcheng Mountain. The tall tree flag floated in the air, and it seemed that it had completely restored its majesty before the Battle of Luoyang. Jun Sima waved his sword and shouted: "Chong, take the city and occupy Wancheng!" ”

The Wei army also sped up and rushed towards the mountain. Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, closer, closer, you can almost hear the panicked voice of the Wu army in the city. Wei Junjun Sima shouted: "Rush! "I saw that I was about to rush to the upper city.

At this time, the Han army's Ehuan Department arrived. Seeing that the Wei army was overwhelming, the Ji Han people were timid and wanted to retreat for a while. E Huan was furious, went into battle in person, and shouted: "Raise the flag, meet the battle!" In the blink of an eye, in the square city, two big flags were erected, and the big "Han" and "Zhuge " were fluttering in the wind, revealing an infinite killing atmosphere in the calmness.

Suddenly seeing these three words, Wei Jun suddenly became confused. They didn't expect that they were not facing the Wu army, but the Han army, and they didn't expect that this was the people of the Zhuge family. The first reaction of the Wei army, who had already been frightened by Kong Ming, was: It's over, Zhuge Liang blocked the way.

E Huan didn't expect a big flag tree. The powerful offensive of the Wei army turned out to be a meal. Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, he waved his hand, and the arrows of the Han army rained down. The Wei army's Sima was still a little bold, and while blocking the panicked defeat of the Wei army, he led the charge and rushed forward. He yelled, "You bastards, if you don't rush forward, you're going to fucking die for me!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly flew up from the horse's back and fell far away. A giant crossbow pierced his heart.

"Okay, you kid shoots this crossbow so accurately!" E Huan patted his subordinates on the shoulder and said. The crossbowman who released a crossbow was extremely proud.

Jun Sima was killed in battle, and the front army of the Wei army was completely defeated. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuge Qiao deployed his men and horses on top of Fang Cheng to meet Sima Yi head-on.

When the news reached Sima Yi's Chinese army, Sima Yi was furious, and he beheaded all the hundreds of Wei troops who had fled back, and personally led the army to attack Fangcheng. Under the personal leadership of Sima Yi. The Wei army regained its momentum, and knew that it was not Zhuge Liang on the other side, but Zhuge Liang's son, who had long been full of momentum and ready to take revenge.

This time, Ji Han suffered a loss. First of all, the people are not as good as Cao Wei, and the training is not as good as Cao Weijing, when it comes to wisdom, although Zhuge Qiao is second to none among the younger generation. But it's still worse than Sima Yi. Originally, Zhuge Qiao planned to take advantage of the geographical advantage to block the attack for a few days, and it would be easy to make a difference, but who knew that in only half a day, Fang Cheng would change hands several times, and the two sides would start a white-hot battle here. The dead corpses were wolf, and the blood-stained hillside made Ji Han almost unable to resist the enemy. Zhuge Qiao planned to personally lead the army to attack Sima Yi's army from the flank. However, the men and horses were dispatched, and suddenly, at the Wei army's trumpet and flag exhibition, a team of men and horses stood out from the Chinese army and surrounded the people and horses who quietly dispatched Zhuge Qiao. On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and the coach has to be in one place, looking at all directions, and reacting according to the specific situation at any time. Zhuge Qiao's surprise attack failed. I had to retract it.

It's evening. All the troops reported one after another, asking Zhuge Qiao to withdraw from the army. E Huan shouted the most fiercely: "My lord." If we don't retreat, this bit of men and horses will be exhausted! ”

It seems that if you want to block the Wei army for a few days without risk, it is impossible, and now you have to choose the right one, is it to fight to the death, or to avoid the enemy's edge and lead Jiangdong?

Zhuge Qiao is also thinking about it, it is the easiest to withdraw from the army, but if you withdraw easily, how to explain to Dongwu so much, a father-in-law, a future father-in-law, handed over the North Road to himself, and he is easy to lose, and it is difficult to see people. If the mutual trust between the Sun and Liu families is destroyed again, the gains outweigh the losses. At the beginning, he and his father robbed Xinye and other counties, although he was a single-minded Ji Han, but he was a little childish, and then they were rescued, which was regarded as a favor, if Sima Yi was easily let go at this time, how to explain to Dongwu?

Zhuge Qiao calmed down for a moment and said, "If you don't fight to the last person, I will never retreat." The situation in Wancheng changes three times a day, if we hold Fangcheng, then the Sun and Liu coalition forces of Nanyang County will take the initiative, if we give up Fangcheng, then the entire Nanyang County will be in chaos. ”

At this time, Jiang Bin, who was ordered to come to supervise the grain, stepped forward and said: "My lord, is it a plan for the prime minister to send Sima Yi down to the south?" We are desperate here, is it against the interests of Ji Han? ”

When this sentence came to everyone's hearts, they all looked at Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao said: "Although my father has a strange plan to break the city, his strength cannot eliminate Sima Yi, let him go south, naturally there is a meaning of borrowing a knife to kill people." But now, Lu Xun and the others have already noticed this, so they sent me to stop it. We are a touchstone, and the test is whether the Sun and Liu families still have friendship. If we get the approval of Eastern Wu, then on the battlefield of Nanyang, it is still the situation where the Sun and Liu families join forces to deal with Cao Wei, if not, then Sun Wu suddenly withdraws his troops, and we lose an ally in vain, and we also lose the opportunity to further weaken Sima Yi in Nanyang. Therefore, even if the disaster leads to Jiangdong, now that the Wei army has arrived, we have nowhere to retreat. ”

He stood up and looked at the people around him: "Princess, for the sake of Ji Han's overall situation, what can we do with sacrificing our army?" ”

Everyone no longer objected, they stood up and shouted with Zhuge Qiao: "For Ji Han, defend Fangcheng!" ”

。。。。。。。。

It was the third day of Sima Yi's attack on the mountain, and he didn't expect that this Han army would be so difficult to eliminate. They blocked this choke point, guarded it tightly, and refused to retreat. This made Sima Yi's original plan to take advantage of the contradictions between the Han and Wu families to profit from it completely failed. Blocked under the fortified city, the impact on the morale of the Wei army was great, coupled with the lack of grain and grass, the strength of the attack was insufficient, and the position of the Han army could not be taken. It's really outrageous.

In the past few days, Sima Yi has used tactics to lure the enemy in every possible way, attacking head-on, knocking on the side, breaking through key points, and sneaking attacks on small roads, but the Han generals on the opposite side are also extremely smart, although they have achieved certain results. But significant progress has not been made.

In a fit of rage, Sima Yi had killed five lower-level generals in a row, and the Wei army was panicked, wondering if he would touch Sima Yi's moldy head.

Sima Yi had no choice but to put his hope on his son.

After all, the Han army is small, although it can block its own large army, but if it is only a few people sneaking over. Still no problem.

。。。。。。。。。。

Before the war, Wancheng was as quiet as a ghost domain. Under Ji Han's order, before the war, no one was allowed to travel at will, otherwise it would be dealt with as a conspiracy. Shoot no matter what. Captain Ji Han Fan Jiang stayed here, Fan Jiang was an old man who joined the army very early, and he had been calm and experienced for many years, although it was still a little bit worse when it came to charging into battle and improvising. The wisdom is also mediocre, but as long as it is not out of the ordinary, he will complete it very seriously.

The fighting on the front line became more and more intense, and the Han army suffered heavy casualties, and even the wounded did not have time to send back. Grain and grass were consumed, weapons were consumed, and reserve men and horses were charged, one thing made Fan Jiang so busy that the soles of his feet turned to the sky.

At this time, someone came to report: "My lord." An envoy from Soochow came. ”

Fan Jiang was angry in his heart, he didn't send soldiers, what kind of envoy came? They have soldiers and generals, but they let us come to the top of the tank, and they also said that they were their fathers and fathers-in-law, and they only cared about power and ignored family affection. At this time, he forgot about being ordered to rob the four counties of Xinye. But since Dongwu came, he couldn't help but respond. At the moment, he said: "Check it out." Let them go into the city, and the leaders will come to me. I'm in charge of such a big Wancheng by myself. Wherever they can get busy, I'm going to send them out anyway. ”

Not long after, I saw a thin man with a Soochow accent walking in: "See Lord Captain." The general of my family knew that it was difficult for Ji Han to defend the city, so he specially asked the villain to come to help. ”

Fan Jiang said: "Is your general General Zhuge or General Lu?" ”

"It's General Zhuge ."

"And how many men did you bring with you to help?"

"Three people."

"What?" Fan Jiang was angry for a while, "Three people? There are too many of your people, I don't have such a big cauldron, I can't cook so much food, please go back, tell your family, although the Ji Han people are few and tired, but for the sake of the alliance between the Sun and Liu families, even if they all die in battle, they will not let a Wei army go south. Let your family prepare a coffin so that the corpse of Zhuge Taishou (Zhuge Qiao's official position is Shangyong Taishou) can be placed. ”

The man smiled and said, "Why should you be in a hurry, my lord, although there are few people here, we have brought a treasure and retreated from the Wei army." ”

Fan Jiang was stunned: "Treasures? What treasure? ”

The man waved his hand and said, "Lift it up." ”

Fan Jiang felt strange in his heart, only to see two people carrying a huge wooden box, swinging in from afar, obviously hiding extremely heavy things in it, and said: "My lord, this is the latest weapon newly developed by Dongwu, with this thing, it can be worth his million heroes." ”

Fan Jiang was curious, he knew that Ji Han's armament was unparalleled in the world, and this time the prime minister took Luoyang, he used something that others didn't understand at all. At this time, when I heard about the ordnance of Dongwu, I couldn't help but want to take a look, so I left the table at the moment, walked to the front of the tent, stood side by side with the Dongwu people, and said, "Open it and see." ”

The Dongwu man smiled and said: "My lord, when my lord comes, I will explain that this thing must not be seen by others, otherwise there will be too many people to see it, and the news will leak, and it will not work." ”

Fan Jiang knew this rule, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers in the tent retreated.

The two Dongwu people slammed the box open, and there was a piercing creaking sound when they landed. When Fan Jiang looked down, it was empty, and he didn't see anything. was hesitating, suddenly the figure next to him flashed, Fan Jiang was startled and flashed to the side, knowing the plan, but where was the time, with a bang, the back of the head was in the middle, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground, and he didn't wake up. The three of them worked together, tied up Fan Jiang, sealed it, put it in a wooden box, and took the arrow from the case, and then swaggered out of the tent and left.

Fan Jiang's army is a bit like Zhang Fei, with military orders like mountains, but the management is not rigorous. His soldiers did not suspect it, and when they saw that there was an order for arrows, they did not stop them, but let them go.

The three Dongwu people left the camp, although they did not alarm anyone, but they were already sweating and heavily clothed. In the implementation of this plan, as long as there is a little leakage, Fan Jiang makes a little noise, but he is afraid that the three of them will become ghosts under the knife. The three of them carried the wooden box, turned around the street again and again, and entered a restaurant, and in the dark room of the restaurant, one person was dressed in a long shirt, and it was Sima Shi. And the three meticulous works disguised as Dongwu people were the dead soldiers summoned by Sima Yi. Sima Yi has 3,000 dead soldiers, these dead soldiers have their own strengths, some are good at swords, some are good at assassination, some are good at strategy, and some are like these three people, who are also good at backup rooms, assassination, etc., which can play an extremely important role in critical times. In fact, for a long time, these dead soldiers were an important force for Sima Yi.

Sima Shi looked at the three people, nodded and said, "The three of you have worked hard, wake him up, let's ask about the current situation." ”

Before long, Fan Jiang woke up, he looked up at these people, and slowly stood up.

Sima Shi smiled and said: "This General Ji Han, you are now my prisoner of war, obediently explain the affairs in the city, and I will let you not die." ”

Fan Jiang laughed, suddenly strained his upper and lower jaws, and with a snort, he sprayed his tongue and blood on Sima Shi's face. Sima Shi was furious, and seeing that he could no longer ask, shouted: "Cut off his head, tonight, we will take Wancheng." ”

At night, the Wancheng military camp was in chaos first, when the soldiers found that the main general was quietly missing, and did not hide the news, the result was that this Han army, which was not very good, was in chaos, some people rushed out of the city to the front line of Fangcheng to find Zhuge Qiao to report the news, and some people stuck to the city. However, it was too late, and the troops composed of Nanyang people in the new formation of Fan Jiang in the city were bewitched by the forces of Sima Shi and Cao Wei, the hidden place in Wancheng, and there was a commotion, and some of the soldiers stationed in the two infantry cantonments in the city rushed out of the barracks despite the ban, and there were sporadic battles with the troops in charge of vigilance, and some troops were encouraged by the rebels, and the soldiers joined the ranks of the rebellion in groups of three or five, or even in whole formations. In some areas, there were fierce clashes between the army and the civilians of Wancheng. Street fighting was fought everywhere, barricades were built everywhere with sandbags and door panels, making the free movement of troops impossible. At this time, the Ji Han people in Wancheng realized that their foundation in Wancheng was so shallow.

Sima Shi watched the Han army in chaos, but he was not in a hurry, he was not in a hurry to seize the battle at all, he just transmitted the news of Fan Jiang's capture on a large scale, which made the Han army further panic.

It was only at dawn that he led a team of capable troops to rush to the Han army camp and show the head of Fan Jiang. Sima Shi easily recovered Wancheng.
