Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1640 Battle for Ye City Five

The eastern suburb of Yecheng is located at the junction with the southern suburb, on an ordinary hillside.

"How's it going?"

Jia Xu couldn't sit still. Although he made some arrangements, he never dared to underestimate his former partner, the ruthless man who could support the overall situation of the Xiliang Army with one hand.

Li Wenyou is capable of ruling the world with his writing, and capable of commanding all directions with his martial arts. In the court, he can be scheming, and on the battlefield, he can still control the overall situation.

This is a very scary person.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's overly conceited and staunch, Li Wenyou's layout would have hoped to make Xiliang a success. The failure of Xiliang can only be said to be inhumane entrusted by Li Wenyou.

"Tanma hasn't come back yet, and the situation in the city is not very clear yet, but it has already started fighting, and it has been fighting for two full days, and it is still fighting!"

Yan Xing cupped his hands and said.

"It's a pity that the fight was messed up, and my spy in the night building couldn't get the news back!" Jia Xu said in a gloomy voice.

When there is chaos, it is difficult to control. Yelou's channel for conveying news is not as professional as Jing Wusi's. In this situation, it is difficult to convey news.

Although he has given Zhang Yan the plan, no matter how good the plan is, someone needs to implement it. If Zhang Yan can't handle Ju Yi, he may be defeated first.

Once defeated, the whole situation cannot be recovered.

The main force of the Yan army in the north is pressing down on the border, so Ye City will be taken down by the Yan State immediately. By the time the Wei army goes north, it may be too late.

"Report!" Tan Ma returned at this time.

"Say!"

Yan Xing drank in a low voice.

"The gate of the eastern suburbs has been opened!" Tan Ma said loudly.

Yan Xing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then said: "Continue to inquire, and let the scouts pay attention to the situation at the South City Gate!"

"promise!"

Tanma continued to return to the front line to inquire about news.

"Mr. Jia, shouldn't it be time to attack?"

Yan Xing said in a low voice.

Jia Xu squinted her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Wait a little longer!"

"Wait for what?"

Yan Xing frowned and asked.

"Wait for an opportunity to seal the deal!" Jia Xu said: "Ju Yi's soldiers are still quite effective in combat. They won't relax their vigilance until they are exhausted, and we won't be able to exert the maximum effect of the surprise attack!"

"Will the Black Mountain Army do it?"

Yan Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The more it is consumed, the more serious the damage of the Black Mountain Army will be, and even the elite will be wiped out. He even wants to ask if the entire army will be wiped out.

These scholars, using the means of killing people with knives, are superb, and sometimes he is very scared.

"In war, there must be sacrifices. The Black Mountain Army makes up for the loss. It is your Jincheng Erlang who lost on this battlefield, and I am not harming him, I am helping him!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "General Yan, you have to remember that he is completely different from you, and you don't have the same confidence as him. You can lead the army because you were born in Xiliang, and Xiliang has dispersed. Now you are A rootless duckweed can be controlled, no matter what, it is impossible to escape the control of the king, so you are safe, but Zhang Yan has the support of millions of Montenegrin people, and has a certain reputation in Hebei , He continues to hold the Black Mountain Army with strong combat power as expected, his future fate will either be reversed or be beheaded!"

Although the king of Wei is only a prince, he has the appearance of an emperor. Now he is in charge of the court, like an uncrowned emperor. The emperor only has the emperor's mind, and control and balance must be maintained.

The Montenegrin Army cannot exceed the scope of control, and cannot lose its combat power, otherwise it will only win suspicion.

He lobbied Zhang Yan.

Said to surrender Yan Xing.

There is a public heart, the public heart is to increase the fighting power of the Wei army, and there is also a selfish heart, the selfish heart is to make yourself more confident in the Wei camp.

Therefore, no matter whether it is Yan Xing or Zhang Yan, he can't be compromised. Only in this way can Zhang Yan continue to lead the army, but it will be short-lived and finally disappear in the chaotic world.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your enlightenment!"

Yan Xing sweated involuntarily.

This human heart is really complicated.

"You're welcome!"

Jia Xu smiled, and a soft voice sounded, and said: "I don't have high demands on you, work hard, don't think too much, be a pure martial artist, be a general who fights on the battlefield, then I will be in the court Escort for you, you can rise to the top!"

This is a matter of mutual benefit. It is not that he is using Yan Xing, but that he is forming an alliance with Yan Xing. As a Xiliang native, it is difficult for him to survive in the imperial court.

Without the support of military power, his position in Yelou might not be as stable as Mount Tai. People in the army don't give face, and he dare not say anything. What deterrent effect will Yelou have at that time.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jia, I won't let you down!"

Yan Xing has already set his target. He believes that Jia Xu will not harm him, because it is not good for him. He can fight wars by himself, but he is not good at playing tricks in the court. If Jia Xu supports him, maybe he will drift away For half a lifetime, I can really find a place where I can settle down and become famous.

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

Another day passed.

It was the third day when the decisive battle broke out. The main force of Ju Yi and Zhang Yan in the city seemed to be somewhat exhausted, but they were still fighting fiercely.

At this time, it was a single breath.

If the hard conditions on the battlefield are there, there are actually not many tricks, only head-to-head.

At this time, the one who can persevere is the winner. Once the army's morale is broken, it will be defeated immediately.

"Suddenly exit the left and right streets of Dongshi?"

Standing on a turret, Zhang Yan glanced around, the battle armor on his body was already stained with blood, there were countless sword marks, and the cloak was threadbare.

But his eyes were as sharp as ever: "What is Ju Yi thinking?"

"Shuai Qu!" At this time, some of Zhang Yan's subordinates could no longer hold on, and a young handsome Qu couldn't help asking in a low voice: "When will our reinforcements arrive?"

"almost!"

Zhang Yan's heart was also upset, but he was still able to hold on. After all, he was a veteran who had experienced many battles. It was impossible for him to collapse at this time. He said to his confidants in a low voice: "Tell my sons, our reinforcements , it will come soon, we must persist in attacking, as long as we beat them to exhaustion, we will win!"

"promise!"

Qu Shuai still trusts Zhang Yan. Between life and death, they can give their lives, so no one will question what Zhang Yan said.

But at this time, their moods were all disturbed.

Now that the war has suffered a lot, but the reinforcements have not been seen for a long time. They all have a huge burden in their hearts. If Zhang Yan is not still able to hold on, they may not be able to hold on.

"Qu handsome!"

A young man went up to the turret, his complexion was not good-looking, and he said: "The west side has fallen!"

"West?"

"Ju Yi has about [-] troops. He crossed the Ye River and entered from the west, pressing our living space between the inner city and the eastern city!"

"How courageous!"

Zhang Yan suddenly understood: "Ju Yi dares to besiege and kill me at this moment, who gave them the courage!"

"Unless they have reinforcements!"

As the counselor of Zhang Yan's subordinates, Du Chang said in a low voice: "Shuai Qu, we have reinforcements, and they may not have them. Yan's cavalry are as fast as the wind!"

"possible!"

Zhang Yan suddenly figured it out: "Yu Du has been going north for so long, but there is no sound. It should be that our main force in Montenegro was blocked, and the Yan army must have plans for Yecheng, so there will be cavalry going south quickly. Julu It's not far from here, even much closer than Guandu, and the cavalry going south will speed up, so they think that they will enter Yecheng one step faster with the reinforcements from Guandu!"

Ju Yi's layout was immediately clear. Ju Yi was planning to encircle them. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, he would directly encircle and suppress them.

"Map of Ye City!"

"exist!"

The two guards spread out a map in front of Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan looked at it carefully and seriously. After a while, he said, "The east gate of the inner city should be blocked. They came from the west. If we do, then the north will also fall, and we will be trapped at the east city gate in the end!"

"What about the suburbs?"

someone asked.

"The suburbs, he wants us to withdraw!" Zhang Yan said: "Whoever wins Yecheng will win Hebei. Once we withdraw from Yecheng, there will be no need to fight again. It will not be us who have the final say!"

They are all just pawns. The struggle for Yecheng is a key point, and everyone knows it, but they also understand the price of losing Yecheng.

In fact, the situation Zhang Yan is facing now is not very difficult, but he just needs to make a choice.

Will he trust Jia Xu, or not?
This is critical.

If he doesn't trust him, he can withdraw and save the main force, and at worst go back to Montenegro, and become his bandit king, no matter who will recruit him in the future, he will still have a chance.

But sometimes there is no status without meritorious deeds. Once he is incorporated in the future, he will just be an idler, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to take charge of the army.

And only by establishing meritorious service can there be the possibility of continuing to serve in the army.

If you trust Jia Xu, once Jia Xu does not reinforce, his entire army will be wiped out. Ju Yi's main force is stronger than his, and he is only a part of the elite who went south, but Ju Yi's soldiers and horses are also the elite of a hundred battles. Troop strength, weapons, equipment, fighting spirit, and combat effectiveness are all above them.

If the fight continues, he must be the one who suffers.

Even once blocked, annihilation of the entire army is not impossible.

At the crossroads, Zhang Yan pondered for a long time. Many years ago, he made such a choice. That time he chose to expel Zhang Ning. It turned out that he was right, and only then did he have the Black Mountain Foundation.

But this time, he still needs to make a choice, life and death, present and future, these are all things he needs to consider.

"The main force on the west wing, gather your forces, and give up at the east gate!" Zhang Yan finally made up his mind: "Pass on my military order and gather the main force in Montenegro. Tonight, I will fight to the death with Ju Yi's main force. The place of the decisive battle is Nancheng!"

There are always more ways than troubles.

He could choose to fight, but he couldn't let Jia Xu lead him by the nose, so he just gambled that Cao Wei would not give up Yecheng, and Jia Xu would not dare to give up Yecheng.

This one is a gamble.

"promise!"

A group of his commanders led away.

"Fourth elder, seventh elder, how are your injuries?" Zhang Yan asked the two Taoist robed elders standing beside him.

"Not bad!"

The two old Taoists feel a bit ashamed. They have been in the world for more than ten or twenty years, following the great virtuous teacher, going everywhere, but getting old is getting old after all.

The two teamed up and were actually beheaded by Ju Yi. If Zhang Yan hadn't made a timely move, they might have been beheaded by Ju Yi on the spot.
The number one general in Hebei really deserves his reputation.

"Can you still fight Ju Yi?"

Zhang Yan asked.

"At most, it can last for a stick of incense!" The fourth elder said in a low voice: "Feiyan, after all, our qi deficiency is no longer comparable to what it was back then. Ju Yi is at the peak, if he kills us, as long as our qi and blood are exhausted If you fall back, you will have a chance!"

"A stick of incense?"

Zhang Yan thought for a while, gritted her teeth, and said, "Maybe it's enough!"

The rapid mobilization of the Black Mountain Army suddenly changed the tactical deployment that was blooming everywhere, and concentrated on the attack on Nancheng, which disrupted Ju Yi's deployment at once.

………………

into the night.

The lights in Nancheng were brightly lit, with braziers set up everywhere, and the flames of torches shone on the top of the sky, as if they could light up the entire city.

Ju Yi Army Department.

"Zhang Yan changed suddenly, why?" Ju Yi paced back and forth, his eyes were cold.

"Zhang Yan, you are a great man!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi held the feather fan in his hand and shook it twice. Under the bamboo hat, there was a playful smile on his face: "I really can't imagine that this person has such courage!"

"Courage?"

Ju Yi frowned.

"He has nowhere to go, and even understands our thoughts. We dragged the battle, intending to besiege, and then wait for reinforcements, and then come to siege and kill him. He is unwilling to wait for death, so he can only fight in advance!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi said: "It's not bad to fight early, but I'm a little curious. Who gave him the courage? It's not just courage!"

His eyes narrowed, and the thoughts in his mind were spinning crazily: "If he doesn't have the confidence, he won't dare to fight decisively!"

"Could it be that the main force of Montenegro has gone south?" Ju Yi said.

"impossible!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi shook his head: "Part of the Black Mountain Army has been defeated, and the remaining part is blocked in Montenegro, and the main force of our army has entered Hebei from Bingzhou. Your Majesty's main force can be liberated and go south, but the main force of Montenegro must not dare to move lightly! "

"why?"

Ju Yi couldn't figure it out, the Black Mountain Army couldn't possibly have the fighting power to fight him decisively, it was courting death.

"Maybe there is something we overlooked!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi suddenly asked: "Have you returned from the trial?"

"no!"

The people around him shook their heads, and said in a low voice, "Not even the news came back."

"Is there a problem with Yan Xing?"

The scribe in Tsing Yi frowned, feeling a little flustered in his heart.

Not sure though.

But he feels that way.

The audit was to talk about surrender, but there was no sound from the audit. There were only two possibilities, either the audit had betrayed and disappeared, or there was something wrong with the audit.

If there is a problem with the trial allocation, it is Yan Xing's problem.

"It seems that some people are underestimated!" The scribe in Tsing Yi thought for a while, then made a decisive decision, and said, "General Ju, since Zhang Yan wants a decisive battle, let him go!"

"Now?"

"Take the initiative!" Tsing Yi scribe said: "Fix it before dawn, take over the East City, and then strengthen the four gates!"

"promise!"

Ju Yi took the order.
