Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1691 Besieging Zhang Feiyi
The words of trial and match are not considered a compliment, but a fact. If Zhang Fei is still outside the Antelope Mountain and can receive the news from the eldest son city in advance, he will still be able to escape.

But now, he rushed in by force, bumped into the trap set up by the Ming army, and wanted to escape, it was as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Mr. Shen, guess again, will General Ju Yi cooperate with our Ming army?" Zhang Liao looked at Shen Pei with a smile, and continued to ask.

"As long as Ju Yi has a little sense, he will understand that he has no choice but to be buried with Zhang Fei!"

The examiner calmly said: "Whether he betrays or not, Zhang Fei will hardly escape, but he is different. Once he stabs him in the back, the price the Ming army will pay is much less!"

The judge looked at Zhang Liao, and said with some admiration: "However, I still admire General Zhang Liao. You really dare to bet. You have already won the victory. If you have to bet on this to reduce casualties, aren't you afraid of stealing?" A chicken can't be eaten without rice!"

He reminded: "Once Ju Yi chooses to be loyal to Uncle Liu Huang and join forces with Zhang Fei halfway, it is not impossible for Zhang Fei to break out of the tight encirclement. Even if you can kill Zhang Fei in the end, I am afraid that you will have to pay more than twice what you expected before." The casualties, the victory is also a tragic victory, is it worth it?"

"You're talking about gambling!"

Zhang Liao looked ahead calmly, smiled, and said, "Since it's a gamble, there are winners and losers. It's not impossible for our Ming army to fight tough battles, but if we can, we still hope to gain the most with the least casualties." After all, our soldiers of the Ming army are different from all of you, and our soldiers and soldiers of the Ming army are all elite main force, and have no soldiers. Any general is extremely precious to us!"

"It's so bold!"

The judge sighed, Zhou Jun didn't have such a coach back then, Ju Yi was pretty good, but compared to Zhang Liao, a coach who was able to strategize and dare to pull the emperor off his horse, there was still some gap.

"Actually, Mr. Shen should pray that General Ju Yi can abide by our agreement, which will be good for everyone, otherwise Mr.'s head may be used to pay homage to my dead soldiers!"

In Zhang Liao's smiling expression, there was an awe-inspiring killing intent. This was the majesty of a general in charge of a large army. He could smile, but sometimes his smile was full of murderous intent.

The appraiser shuddered, but it was not the first time that he fell into such a situation. When the Zhou army was defeated, they were already surrendered officials.

This road is not easy to walk, and they will be cut down at any time without knowing when, but in such troubled times, they can only make one footprint step by step.

"I believe Ju Yi will make the right choice!"

The judge said confidently.

Although his life is tied to his waistband, if he lost his mind at this time and left an impression of cowardice, then even if Ju Yi surrendered in the future, he would have a hard time living.

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

in the afternoon.

After a rest, the main force of the Yan army, who had recovered some strength from the forced breakout battle last night, had already approached the west wall of the eldest son city from the west king east.

This time Zhang Fei was very careful. They took every step carefully and did not approach in a hurry, nor did they send anyone into the city to contact them.

Instead, a camp was first built outside the city.

Although it is only a simple camp, there are certain defensive positions to assist, which can be regarded as bringing a certain sense of stability to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

At this time, Zhang Fei began to send out scouts to inquire.

He didn't dare to send people into the city rashly, but he didn't know the situation of the eldest son city. After the war broke out in the eldest son city, he basically lost contact.

He is not very clear about the specific situation in the city.

About an hour later, in the evening, the rays of the setting sun had already enveloped the whole world, covering the woods and plains in the western suburbs.

In the simple tent, Zhang Fei's face was originally dark, but now it looked gloomy like water, and his breath was tense, as if the whole tent was pressed down like a violent storm, so that all the generals, counselors and officials in the camp did not dare to breathe.

"Trash, real trash!"

Zhang Fei cursed.

He was scolding Ju Yi.

He had already raced against the clock, and even sent reinforcements regardless of the casualties, but in the end Ju Yi still couldn't stop the attack of the Ming army, and gave up the eldest son city.

This time it was his turn to be in a dilemma.

He is now surrounded by the Ming army, with his strength, can he get out? Even if he gets out, Kong Po will be seriously injured.

At this moment, he had the heart to kill Ju Yi.

"Three Generals, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Pang Tong was still very calm. He put on a robe, stood on Zhang Fei's left side, looked at the scout who came to report, and asked, "Have you found out about the situation of the eldest son city?"

At this moment, what Pang Tong was more anxious about was not the defeat of the eldest son city, but the asymmetry of the news. Since they joined the Shangdang, they lost some contact with the news network in Taiyuan.

So their sensitivity to the news was not enough. The battle in the eldest son city had come to an end, but they were still in the palm of their hand.

Under the state of asymmetric information, they made wrong decisions, and now that they have broken through, it seems that they have thrown themselves into the trap.

So now, the news can't be wrong again. If it is wrong once, I'm afraid they will be wiped out.
"There are not many specific news, but I still heard some hearsay!"

The scout said: "Eldest Son City was breached two days ago, but it seems that the city has been fighting for a whole time. It seems that the remnants of our army broke through the north gate yesterday, and the main force of the Ming army is still chasing after it!"

"sure?"

"Not sure!" The scout shook his head: "We are still checking the authenticity of the news!"

"Not only do you need to inquire about the authenticity of the news, but you also need to find out how many Ming troops are still in the city!"

Pang Tong said in a low voice.

"promise!"

The scout nodded, and then reported, "The scouts have touched the edge of the city wall, but the Ming army scouts reacted very quickly. We have already conducted several rounds of scouting battles, and two brothers have touched the inside of the city, but It’s unclear what’s going on in the city, and it’s hard to say how many troops are still in the city!”

"Continue to explore, use all your strength, don't be afraid of difficulties, and don't be afraid of sacrifices. After all, the life and death of tens of thousands of our soldiers are now in your hands!"

Pang Tong said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

The scout was a bit excited, and he bowed his hands to accept the order. After saluting, he turned around and left, and wanted to lead in personally to inquire about the news.

Only then did Zhang Fei look at Pang Tong and said, "Sir, the situation is changing too fast now. We didn't expect that Ju Yi would not be able to hold on to the eldest son city for a few days. They abandoned the city and fled, not at all. We were notified in the slightest, but we jumped in!"

He paced back and forth, looking a little nervous and impatient.

The tens of thousands of vanguard soldiers under his command are one of the elite of the Yan army. He has no regrets in his death. If this main force is damaged here, what face will he have to go back to face his brother.

"This is the end of the matter, and it doesn't make any sense for us to talk about this anymore!" Pang Tong reminded Zhang Fei: "Three generals, at this moment, the generals and soldiers may be feeling anxious, fearful, and hesitant, but you must not show it at all. Emotions in this regard!"

He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "In an army, the stability of the army's morale is the first. If the army's morale is broken, then even if I have a thousand plans, I'm afraid I will be powerless!"

"I know this!"

Zhang Fei took a deep breath. He is a person who is confused about small things but not big things. He has many bad habits, such as drinking, and after drinking, he especially likes to whip his infantry. These are all bad habits.

But being able to lead an army to charge into battle, his ability is also very powerful. Among the generals under Liu Bei's command, he is one of the best, not only martial arts, but also the ability to lead troops in battle.

On the battlefield, his talent is self-taught. He knows what to do and what not to do. As long as he keeps calm, he is not without fear.

"Don't worry, I will let the generals maintain the current military spirit, and this military spirit will not collapse!" Zhang Fei said confidently.

He has led the army for many years, and now most of his subordinates are officers of the direct line. Controlling the officers is equivalent to monitoring the soldiers. As long as the officers are not chaotic, the main force of the soldiers under his command will not be chaotic.

"With the three generals in charge personally, Pang can rest assured!"

Pang Tong smiled. He still has some trust in Zhang Fei. He has cooperated for many years and said that they cooperate because of understanding. There are many contradictions between them, but they can also cooperate tacitly.

"Today's policy, it is better to be still than to move!"

Pang Tong continued: "Because we don't know the situation outside and we don't have enough information, we can't start many plans first. We can only stop with silence and wait for the Ming army's movement, and then we will think about how to deal with it!"

He stared ahead, put his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice: "And I believe that even if Taiyuan doesn't know the news, they will definitely not give up in the face of the two battlefields and Shangdang's special geographical location. Go south for reinforcements!"

Pang Tong's current strategy is just one word, procrastination.

First delay the time so that their scouts have more power to use force, and then delay the situation, because they are very unfamiliar with the deployment of the Ming army. Only when the Ming army moves and let them see the movement of the Ming army, can they oppose Ming The idea of ​​​​the army, so that they have a slight chance to break through under the blockade.

"This method is a good one, but have you thought about one thing!"

Zhang Fei asked Pang Tong: "What about the food and grass? Our food and grass can't last long. As long as we run out of food, we may not be able to last for two days. At that time, all the soldiers will be hungry, exhausted, and have no energy. It is impossible to break out of the siege, and it is very difficult to survive until reinforcements arrive!"

"So we have to prepare for the worst!"

Pang Tong took a deep breath. He didn't know about the problem of food and grass. Although there is still some food and grass today, most of them are dry food, which is carried by soldiers. It can last for three to five days, which is not bad.

Because they raided from the east of the river, the grain road built on the west side of the river could not be transported down at all.

So food and grass became the most critical point.

I thought that I had arrived at the eldest son city. Ju Yi must have some food and grass in the eldest son city. After all, the eldest son city has a special geographical location and needs to support the main force of Guan Yu in Hanoi.

This is also a transit station for granaries, but unexpectedly, Ju Yi lost the eldest son city.

As a result, Zhang Fei's main force has now entered an embarrassing position, where there is no food for food, no target for goals, and no way out for retreat.

"Stay for three days first, order the soldiers to eat one meal a day, and then let the soldiers build a defensive front. A stronger front must be built!"

Pang Tong said in a low voice: "To prevent the Ming army from attacking suddenly, even if the Ming army wants to fight, at least we can have a defensive camp!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Fei nodded. This is indeed necessary. After all, at present, they can't continue to march quickly. Let alone whether the rapid march can break through the defensive front, even if they can, they may not have such physical strength.

Building camps on the spot, defending against the Ming army, and waiting for an opportunity is the only way.

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

into the night.

Located in the northwest of the Changzi City, a river flows directly into the Changzi City from the northwest corner. The width of the river is not large, but the water level is still very deep.

Beside the river, the remaining soldiers and horses have been resting.

This is Ju Yibu after walking out of Wuming Mountain from the north.

After Ju Yi left the hillside, he counted the quantity.

There were only 890 soldiers left, and these soldiers were all the elite among the elite who had entered the camp first, and they were his loyal direct descendants.

Going to the camp first was Ju Yi's solo battle camp. In the beginning, when he was attacking the city, he selected a group of elite soldiers in the name of going first.

These soldiers are named Xiandeng dead soldiers.

The first to enter the camp, which was established later, and the soldiers who entered the camp first, are all called dead soldiers, which means that they are the most ferocious and most fearless group of elites on the battlefield.

Over the years, under one battle after another, most of the first Xiandeng soldiers died, and not many survived.

But going to the camp first has always been Ju Yi's painstaking effort. Whether it is weapons or equipment, they are all the best, and the selection of soldiers is also the most elite.

So the combat effectiveness is also the strongest.

Over the years, even in the Battle of Guandu back then, there may not have been such huge casualties, but they never thought that they would be beaten to this extent by the Ming army.

Sometimes Ju Yi is also emotional, life is impermanent, and even sad and angry, sad and angry for his son who died in the battle.

"General!"

A faint voice broke Ju Yi's sadness.

"whats the matter?"

"The scouts met Zhang Feiying's scouts, one died and three were injured, but all their scouts ran back!" the soldier in charge of scouting said softly.

"It's good to meet!"

Ju Yi narrowed his eyes: "No need to continue, wait for him to contact me!"

"Yes!"
