Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1518

In the middle and late October, the temperature in the mountains has gradually dropped. With the blowing of mountain mist one after another, the slight winter chill seems to be gradually approaching, and the days are gradually shortening. Not only is it bright night, but also dark early.

Wu Yi's soldiers stationed on the west bank of the Fushui River were awakened early by the military academy from their sleep, and took advantage of the clear gray sky to start a busy and chaotic day.

What exactly is war?
Some people say it's like a game of chess, some say it's a battle for territory, some say it's a fight for interests, maybe everyone has a different view, but no matter which one it is, it's actually full of blood and darkness.

Wu Yi also woke up early, and he hasn't slept well for the past two days, extremely restless.

A confidant guard came to the tent with a basin of hot water, another guard hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain of the tent, and suddenly a gust of cold wind rushed in, making Wu Yi who was only wearing a middle coat I couldn't help but shivered.

"Damn it, what are you doing so big! Didn't you see that the general just got up! General, it's a bit windy today, be careful not to catch the cold..."

Wu Yi nodded, took the cloak and put it on first, then fell silent for a moment, took the hot towel handed over by the guard, and said, "What's the matter with Ma Zhengxi?"

"Reporting to the general, it seems that they have camped temporarily at the stronghold..."

Wu Yi covered his face with the hot towel in his hand, as if this could absorb the temperature in the hot towel and make his thinking more active.

Hearing that Wei Yan conquered Sanzhai within a day, Wu Yi immediately felt restless, and he didn't sleep well last night.

From Wu Yi's point of view, Wei Yan went directly to Fu County regardless of Zitong's soldiers from Sichuan and Shu. This incident itself seemed very incredible.Normally, no one is willing to expose the side to the enemy, but how can General Zhengxi not know such a simple truth?
So what was the reason that led Zhengxi to choose such an offensive line?

Wu Yi had no way of knowing.

"Come on! Cook earlier! After you've cooked it early, it's easier to line up on the side of Fushui!" Wu Yi ordered.

If Wei Yan really comes, at least he can get a job waiting for him!
This time Wu Yi led the army and chose to meet Wei Yan in Fushui, which was also a risky move, but Wu Yi had to come.

It is impossible for people to live alone forever, but as long as they live in groups, they will inevitably be affected by other people in the group.It was not a very honorable thing for Wu Yi to have fought against Wei Yan in Guanghan, so it was no secret in Sichuan and Shu.Now that Wu Yi and Liu Bei are cooperating and commanding some of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers, there is so much meat anyway, Wu Yi ate a few more bites, and others naturally have no meat for a long time, so naturally they have some opinions, this whispering voice It naturally reached Wu Yi's ears.

If he were to be a turtle again, it would be safe to be safe, but it would inevitably attract a lot of criticism, so Wu Yi must use his achievements to prove that where he fell, he would naturally get up there. In order to convince the public, Defeating Wei Yan became Wu Yi's best choice at the moment, bar none.

So, after thinking about it, Wu Yisi decided to take the initiative to attack the next day and line up to resist the enemy on the west bank of Fushui. On the one hand, he said that he was not afraid of Wei Yan and dared to fight against Wei Yan. On the other hand, he also wanted to buy more time. Let your own soldiers in the upper reaches be able to store water smoothly.

....................................

Almost at the same time, when Wu Yi decided to line up in Fushui to intercept Wei Yan's march, Wei Yan was also considering his next move.

Wei Yan is naturally adventurous, so when he heard that Zhengxi General Fei Qian had arranged for him to be the most dangerous vanguard to carry out a point-to-point battle, Wei Yan didn't feel the slightest bit of fear, only excitement.

Is the so-called wealth and risk seeking.

The sky had just brightened, and Wei Yan had already put on his armor. Standing under the commander's banner outside the tent of the Chinese Army, soldiers coming and going could see him at a glance.

As the general of the Chinese army, it is not necessary to be busy all the time, but to let all the soldiers know where to find someone when they encounter problems. With the support of a backbone, the morale of the army will naturally be stable.

However, being close, Wei Yan was not as confident as he appeared on the surface.

"Fu County, Zitong, Guanghan..." Wei Yan muttered in a low voice, three place names fluttering from the corner of his mouth.

Although Xu Shu said at the time of departure that Wei Yan was mainly in charge of the striker, he also explained that if there was an order from Huang Cheng who was following behind, Wei Yan would also have to obey Huang Cheng's arrangement.

Huang Cheng's subordinates...

Crossing mountains and forests is like walking on flat ground, really similar to mountain monkeys.However, it is obvious that it is not impossible to use such an army in a frontal battle, but it is too wasteful. If Wei Yan is the commander in chief, he will not easily let this group of "mountain monkeys" be wasted in a frontal duel.

Wei Yan is now a chess piece, which he does not dislike, but he also hopes to be able to break away from the identity of a chess piece and become a chess player sooner, then he is required to be able to see the chessboard clearly, understand the opponent, and know which move should be taken. How to go down, why go down...

So, Huang Cheng followed behind, besides letting his own troops cover his tracks, did he have any other purpose?
If there is a goal, what is the goal?
That's right, Wei Yan is now trying to get rid of his current identity as a pawn, and is starting to analyze from a higher level, thinking about why General Zhengxi and Xu Shu made such an arrangement, trying to learn from this arrangement so that he can Nutrients for growth.

Wei Yan thought about it, then suddenly realized something, stood up, walked around twice, then stopped again, turned his eyes, then couldn't help turning around twice, suddenly raised his head, laughed twice, and immediately The guards were called: "Send a message to General Huang in the back, saying that a certain person will go down to the stronghold after marching ten miles today!"

"Ten miles?" The guard thought he had heard wrong.

Wei Yan smiled, and said, "That's right, Shili! That's it, if General Huang has any other orders, you are returning Yu, go!"

....................................

In a valley about ten miles behind Wei Yan, Huang Cheng soon received the news sent by Wei Yan.

"Ten miles?" Huang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, I got it, let's do as your general said..."

Hearing that Wei Yan conquered three cottages in one day yesterday, Huang Cheng was not happy but worried.Huang Cheng also didn't expect Wei Yan to be so sharp, like a sharp steel knife, he charged directly and broke through the outermost defense system of Fu County in one fell swoop.

Fu County can be roughly divided into three defensive circles. The outermost ones are the three outposts that Wei Yan broke through, which are not too far away.The functions of these three cottages are, on the one hand, to delay, and on the other hand, to warn the future, so it will be a matter of time before they are breached, but Wei Yan's attack speed is indeed unexpected.

The second layer of defense in Fu County is naturally the several ferries along the Fu River, especially the ferry closest to Fuling, which is the focus of the second layer of defense, and Wu Yi is here.

The third layer is naturally the city wall defense system of Fu County itself.

These defenses are normal.If it is really going to attack Fu County, then sweep out the outer Chuanshu troops and defeat them, and then they can carry out the siege battle with peace of mind.

But the problem is that Fei Qian and Xu Shu, the generals who conquered the west, didn't want to carry out a siege battle with huge losses in the first place.

If Wei Yan only knew a small part of Zhengxi's overall battle plan, then Huang Cheng knew at least half of it.

In a game between the two sides, the inferior chess player will only follow the opponent's steps, and the opponent's next move will be taken one step, just like in Go, who clearly memorized a large number of fixed changes, and then followed the exact same move After coming out, I finally found that all my responses were obviously the best, but I just lost...

If one city by one goes to conquer Sichuan and Shu, it will take time, and it will also cost troops. All the generals who conquered the west before abolishing Feiqian adopted the strategy of attacking the heart, so now that the troops are sent to Fu County, it is naturally still a battle of the heart. , but from another angle.

Originally, Huang Cheng was going to send someone to contact Wei Yan, but Wei Yan took a step ahead and made it clear that he would only travel ten miles. Huang Cheng immediately knew that Wei Yan wanted to understand, and he couldn't help but look at Wei Yangao.After all, there are many generals who understand and obey orders, but there are not many generals who not only know what is happening, but also know why.

It seems that Wei Yan's potential is pretty good...

....................................

the next day.

Wu Yi looked up at the sky.

Although the autumn sun is not as hot as summer, it should not be underestimated.Especially in the past two days, the autumn air is clear and cloudless, which is indeed a good weather, but it also means that Wu Yi and the others don't even have a cloud to cover them, they can only dry out...

Calculate the time, it should be almost here!

Wu Yi was a little anxious.

The Sichuan and Shu soldiers below had already started talking about it. Some middle-level generals shouted a few orders at the beginning, but then closed their mouths and let the soldiers whisper to each other...

Who the hell has lined up for a long time without seeing even a ghost, so there will be no complaints in the stomach?

Wu Yi looked up at the sky again.

The sun was shining brightly, and it seemed that he was also laughing, spilling a smile on his face without reservation.

"Come here!" Wu Yi greeted the scouts, "Go and check to see where Zhengxi troops have gone!"

....................................

Fourth day.

During the first two days, Wu Yi was still a little elated.

Go slowly, slower is better, it's better to wait until the time when the intercepting dam is built...

But as time went by, the secret joy in Wu Yi's heart gradually turned into doubt.

What happened? I walked ten miles on the first day, ten miles on the second day, and didn't move at all on the third day!

What kind of trick is this going to do!

The interception dam of Fushui was completed in a hurry last night. After a night of water storage, Wu Yi could already see that the water level had dropped significantly.

But what about this person?
The distance of the last twenty miles made Wu Yi very embarrassed. Zhengxi's men must have known that he was here, but they just didn't show up.

Could it be that the deeds of the upstream were discovered?

However, the scouts and guards placed around did not send back any news. In addition, the general water attack strategy is mostly in spring and summer, and it is not easy to use in autumn and winter due to dry water, so normally there will be no one. I would think of this matter. Normally speaking, this season should be fire prevention.

Coupled with the rugged mountains in the upper reaches of the Fushui River, normally no one would deliberately detour to check it out. Therefore, Wu Yi thought that his water attack strategy could be said to be ingenious, and it must have been beyond Wei Yan's expectations, but now Wu Yi himself couldn't help muttering a little, and his heart was no longer so determined.

In the midst of anxiety, it was another day of perseverance, but on the fifth day, the situation suddenly changed.

Early in the morning, Wu Yi sent scouts across the Fu River to investigate.At this moment, he really couldn't sit still.But the news that the scouts reported back surprised Wu Yi, Wei Yan's men were gone!Judging from the traces, it seems that they were evacuated overnight last night!

withdraw?

why?
So what do I do now?
Continue to wait here, or withdraw troops and return to Fu County, or...

....................................

"General Huang, why did General Wei retreat?"

On the hillside, Jiao Zong looked at Wei Yan leading his soldiers and disappeared into the distance of the mountain road, and asked a little puzzled.

Jiao Zong, courtesy name Shouyi, brave, good at riding and shooting. He heard that General Zhengxi fought Xianbei and returned to Yinshan in Bingbei. , for the time being, it is the length of a song.

Huang Cheng smiled foolishly, glanced at Jiao Zong, and said, "Hehe, we didn't think about really attacking Fu County, why didn't we retreat?"

Apart from being serious when issuing military orders, Huang Cheng also smiles naively most of the time on weekdays, so he also has a kind of affinity, so the few Qu Changjun Hou Wenyan who followed him, including Jiao Zong, couldn't help but feel a little strange , if this didn't hit Fu County, why did it come all the way?

"Have you ever caught fish?" Huang Cheng said with a smile, "If you want to catch fish, you have to put some bait..."

Jiao Zong and the others couldn't help but suddenly realized.

"Okay, let's go get busy," Huang Cheng waved his hand and said, "We'll just wait here, go back and take a look, don't give away... Let's see which fish took the bait..."

"Don't worry, General!"

"My subordinate understands!"

A group of people responded one after another, and then dispersed to make arrangements.

Huang Cheng stood on the hillside, paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced at a guard beside him, the guard understood, and retreated silently.When it comes to fishing, the rivers outside naturally need to be fished, and the ponds inside need to be looked at at least to ensure that a certain fish will take the bait, right?

Huang Cheng looks simple and honest on the outside, but in fact he is extremely delicate in his heart. He has not only people from Xiliang and Beibei, but also soldiers from Hanzhong, and even soldiers from Jingxiang...

It's like Jiao Zong, isn't he also from Jingxiang?
The mountain haze floats freely, blowing the vegetation in the mountains.The green mountains and green daisies are extremely pure, reflecting the restlessness in the world.
