Chapter 305: The Chief Register Presents the City, Wei Yan Complains
With the Wei army's current demoralized state, it would be difficult to reorganize the attack.
This was also one of the important reasons why Cao Xiu decided to abandon Fancheng.
But it is very easy to make the Wei army conduct a "strategic retreat".
When Cao Xiu's order spread to the ears of the Wei army who were still able to obey the command, many of the Wei army who had no fighting spirit because the Han army came to the city gate suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Under the command of their respective generals, they quickly headed towards the interior of Fancheng.
They wanted to cross the entire Fancheng to get to the north gate, and then escape from the north gate of Fancheng to Wancheng.
Among all the Wei troops, the Wei generals were undoubtedly the fastest in escaping.
But Cao Xiu, who was the leader of the Wei generals, took a deep look at Mi Yang before leaving.
He seemed to want to remember this life-and-death enemy whom he met for the first time today but whose reputation was so great in the past, deeply in his heart.
However, although the current situation at the south gate of Fancheng is that the Han army is in an advantage, the Wei army at the south gate has defeated too many troops and is too crowded.
So he didn't know that in front of Guan Yu, Master Mi was the current General Mi Zuo.
So after the scout bowed to Mi Yang, he quickly ran towards the battlefield behind him.
Because they were aware of this, the expressions on Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's faces were quite exciting. Were they defeated by Mi Yang first?
The most important thing about a city is its gate.
During the first battle of Xiangfan, Fancheng was already in danger under his attack.
Wei Yan's complaints were quickly heard by some people in Mi Yang's ears. After Mi Yang learned about this, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
Looking from the sky to the ground, Guan Yu's nearly 10,000 Han troops were heading towards Fancheng quickly like a huge arrow.
The most important thing is that Mi Yang's words "Master Mi" made Guan Yu feel very comfortable.
If the gate of a city is captured, unless the city is a dual city with inner and outer walls like Jiangling and Gong'an, the city has basically been declared to have fallen.
The movements of Mi Yang's scouts were quickly discovered by the scouts sent by Guan Yu. After checking the opponent's identity, Mi Yang's scouts were brought to Guan Yu.
However, after the accident, both Zhang Fei and Ma Chao had expressions of appreciation on their faces.
Mi Yang reported this matter not as General Zuo but as the Chief Secretary, which shows that at this moment he was dedicating Fancheng to Guan Yu as a subordinate of Guan Yu.
Because he wanted to ensure that he could capture Fancheng as soon as possible, Guan Yu left a group of generals behind to escort the prisoners of the Wei army back to the Han army's camp.
When the word "Fancheng" written on the city plaque like a flying dragon or a snake came into Mi Yang's eyes, a rather cheerful smile appeared on his face.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao were sitting on tall horses. The cold wind outside Fancheng quickly blew through their temples and picked up the blood-stained hair on their temples.
He immediately called Wei Yan to him and reprimanded him. Although Wei Yan did not protest verbally during the reprimand, the look of dissatisfaction on his face grew stronger.
After all the undercurrents and magazines are stirred up, even if Fancheng is an indestructible rock, it will eventually be shattered by the impact of this huge arrow.
This scene reflects the fierce battle that the Han army experienced on the battlefield just now.
So although Mi Yang is talking about taking the south gate of Fancheng, it can actually be said that Fancheng has basically been taken by Mi Yang.
Wei Yan's proposals have always been so radical.
When Cao Xiu and other Wei generals began to flee from the south gate of Fan City, their actions were also noticed by Mi Yang.
In a good mood, Guan Yu immediately ordered the nearly ten thousand Han troops behind him to speed up.
The nearly 10,000 Han troops led by Guan Yu were already not far from Fancheng. Under Guan Yu's urging and acceleration, the nearly 10,000 Han troops arrived outside Fancheng in less time.
But unlike the fatigue in their bodies after the battle, the faces of these three Han Hus all had a sense of comfort and joy.
And this identity means that Mi Yang has never forgotten Guan Yu's support to him.
Soon, the only ones standing at the south gate of Fancheng were thousands of Han troops led by Mi Yang.
However, with the departure of Cao Xiu and others, the fall of Fancheng's south gate was inevitable.
Just like Guan Yu's current strategy for attacking Fancheng, there is no difference from the general direction decided by Mi Yang.
As time went by, many of the defeated Wei troops at the south gate of Fancheng either died or fled under the attack of the Han troops.
Under these three considerations, Mi Yang ordered nearly 3,000 Han troops to repair the cave at the south gate of Fan City, and sent a part of the Han troops to the city wall to clean up the remnants of the Wei army.
So when Guan Yu led nearly ten thousand Han troops towards Fancheng, a rather strange scene occurred.
He did not even cover up his banner, but arrogantly led nearly ten thousand Han troops towards Fancheng.
This scene is like an arrow with murderous intent speeding through the Han River.
But the cheerful smile on Mi Yang's face came from an idea in his mind.
If there are some Wei generals who plan to lure the enemy deeper and pretend to escape, they are actually setting up an ambush inside Fancheng.
Back then, Master Mi protected the public security and Jingzhou for him. Today Master Mi helped him capture Fancheng and remove a thorn in his heart.
This scout was originally a Jingzhou farmer who moved back from the Central Plains. When he was recruited by Mi Yang, Mi Yang's official position was already that of a partial general.
But there was a shameless villain like Sun Quan who actually ordered Lu Meng to attack Jingzhou from behind.
We are all Han soldiers. As long as we can successfully capture Fancheng, it doesn't matter who gets the credit.
At this time, beside Guan Yu, two generals, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, were present.
However, what was different from the strategy adopted by Mi Yang was that Guan Yu did not let the five thousand Han troops behind him change into the uniforms and flags of the Wei army.
Wei Yan's reaction was already expected by Mi Yang, so after Mi Yang reprimanded Wei Yan, he said to Wei Yan:
"If what I say is true, you must promise to obey what I say from now on."
Originally, everyone thought that he would lead his army back to the camp to repair. After all, in the battle just now, due to the disparity in numbers, Mi Yang's Han army fought the hardest.
Although I don't know who Master Mi is, the mission of the scout is to faithfully convey what I see and hear.
When Mi Yang's scout discovered that the general had arrived with reinforcements in person, he was overjoyed and immediately approached the nearly 10,000 Han troops.
Since nearly 10,000 Han troops were mobilized to attack Fancheng, in order to ensure the safety of the rear, Guan Yu did not let Ma Chao lead the Xiliang cavalry to accompany him.
Because he had many more Han troops than Mi Yang, and he had world-famous generals like Zhang Fei and Ma Chao beside him. Such a configuration made it impossible for Guan Yu to keep a low profile.
Because the direction they are heading to is Fancheng.
Secondly, although Mi Yang saw that Cao Xiu and others seemed to be fleeing just now, this guess was not confirmed.
After the scout left, Mi Yang raised his head and looked at the city plaque hanging above his head.
Even if Mi Yang noticed that Cao Xiu and other Wei generals were leaving, he could not stop them for a while.
He, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao personally led nearly ten thousand Han troops and set off quickly towards Fancheng.
After Mi Yang's scout arrived, he immediately told Guan Yu what Mi Yang wanted to report.
When you look to Fancheng, your ministers will offer it to you.
While his face showed dissatisfaction, he also complained privately in front of his soldiers that Mi Yang "had a clever plan but refused to accept it, so he could not make full use of his talents."
First of all, although the morale of the Han troops behind him is high now, they have gone through many battles today and their physical strength is probably almost exhausted.
Within a few miles of this huge arrow, there were initially scattered scattered Wei armies rushing in the same direction as the Han army.
The strategic location within easy reach was ruined due to the betrayal of his allies. This regret has always been a thorn in Guan Yu's heart.
But when faced with Wei Yan's proposal, Mi Yang rejected it again.
Compared to Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's surprise and appreciation, Guan Yu's joy outweighed all other emotions.
Among the three tiger generals, Guan Yu had the brightest smile on his face.
After hearing that Mi Yang had personally led 3,000 Han troops to take control of the gates of Fancheng, the three tiger generals all had wonderful expressions on their faces.
Mi Yang's scouts didn't know the meaning of the three words "Master Mi", but Guan Yu certainly knew.
Such smiles also appeared on the faces of Wei Yan and Deng Ai and several Han generals.
From now on, he will follow Mi Yangyan's advice.
Especially the ferocious and continuous assault on the south gate of Fan City just now, although there are powerful generals like Wei Yan as arrows, it also consumes a lot of physical strength of the Han army.
When the banners of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao, the three most famous generals in the world, appeared on the vast land outside Fancheng.
Now was the time for him to pull out the thorn himself.
And around the water area that the huge arrow passed through, there were undercurrents or impurities in the water, which were stirred up by the huge impact of the huge arrow.
In street fighting, the Han army, which was not familiar with the internal terrain of Fancheng, was at a huge disadvantage.
After taking control of the south gate of Fancheng, Mi Yang did not let the Han army behind him continue to penetrate deeper.
Although Sun Quan's move did not cause much harm to the Han thanks to Mi Yang's efforts, it directly caused Guan Yu to lose the opportunity to capture Fancheng.
After completing this step, Mi Yang called a scout and asked him to quickly go to the rear to let his own large forces arrive.
This is not because the most knowledgeable people in the world don't know how to adapt, but in a certain situation, there is often only one best way.
When the scout asked Mi Yang how he should report this matter to Guan Yu, Mi Yang said to the scout after thinking:
"Tell the general: the south gate of Fancheng is in the hands of Master Mi."
But more importantly, compared to Mi Yang, Guan Yu had more capital to march like this.
He wanted to enter Fancheng earlier, and he wanted to meet his preferred successor earlier.
Unlike Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, Fancheng has a more special meaning to Guan Yu.
Obviously, Fancheng is not such a city.
But Wei Yan's low emotional intelligence caused him to ignore one thing, what would be the consequences of openly criticizing his master.
Mi Yang will not despise all Wei generals just because of a big victory.
Moreover, the cavalry is not very useful for siege warfare.
Because of his own judgment and because his "strange plans" were not adopted twice in a row, Wei Yan's bad temper rose again.
As Mi Yang said these words, Wei Yan's face instantly turned bitter.
After hearing the name Master Mi in Mi Yang's words, the scout thought that "Master Mi" was one of Mi Yang's tribesmen.
With all kinds of military exploits, the first to reach the first place will be huge rewards and glory waiting for them.
Just when the three generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao were about to arrive at Fancheng, the scouts sent by Mi Yang also arrived not far away.
He finally understood why Zhuge Liang had no choice but to issue the last order before his death: "If you delay or disobey the order, the army will take action."
But when this huge arrow passed around the defeated Wei army, the defeated Wei army seemed to have seen ghosts and gods, and ran away in all directions towards this huge arrow.
It will probably be tomorrow at the earliest.
As long as the south gate of Fan City can be defended, it will only be a matter of time before the majority of the Han army arrives and the entire city of Fan City falls.
This was undoubtedly very dangerous for Mi Yang himself or the Han army he led.
This approach of not forgetting the original intention and having a beginning and an end was very useful to Guan Yu.
But what I didn't expect was that this guy came to capture Fancheng.
Thirdly, with the capture of the south gate of Fancheng, the next thing the Han army with few troops had to do was to defend the south gate of Fancheng.
This reflects the different concepts of military use between Weng and his son-in-law.
Especially at present, there is no support from most of the Han army in Mi Yang's rear.
When nearly ten thousand Han troops arrived outside Fan City, Mi Yang, who was not far outside the city gate, also saw Guan Yu and others.
Why did Wei Yan behave like this?
That's because after Mi Yang sent out his scouts, Wei Yan suggested to Mi Yang that he should take advantage of the chaos to attack Fan City and completely control Fan City.
It's just that Mi Yang is not Zhuge Liang after all. He doesn't have as good qualities as Zhuge Liang.
No wonder Mi Yang and his army were nowhere to be seen after the great battle.
Currently, there is no Wei general or Wei Bing outside Fancheng who does not feel fearful of this.
While Mi Yang's military use style allowed him to reach outside Fancheng unexpectedly, Guan Yu's military use style had another consequence.
After seeing Guan Yu and others, Mi Yang excitedly patted Wei Yan on the shoulder and said, "What do you think?"
People who know military skills in the world often have the same ideas.
From today on, the land of Xiangfan is no longer under Ji Han's will.
The reason for Mi Yang's veto was that most of the Han army that wanted to come to Guan Yu would arrive soon. In this case, why take the risk?
But Wei Yan didn't listen to Mi Yang's reasons.
Wei Yan thought that Guan Yu's army had just experienced a fierce battle, so how could he lead his army so quickly?
Moreover, Guan Yu is the leader of the three armies. With his status, he should not easily lead reinforcements to quickly reach the outside of Fancheng.
In the battle just now, although these three tigers were all high-ranking figures in the Han Dynasty, in order to ensure the victory of the battle, they were all people who personally went into battle to kill the enemy.
Later Emperor Wu of Zhou suffered a great loss and almost died because of this negligence.
It's just that those Han generals laughed because they were the first among the Han Dynasty to conquer Fancheng.
"vice versa."
After hearing what Mi Yang said, Wei Yan, who had always been conceited, was of course not afraid of this bet, so Mi Yang and Wei Yan clapped their hands and made an oath in front of thousands of Han troops.
