The night slowly shrouded, and from time to time, some birds and beasts that hunted at night began to chirp in the surrounding areas. Firstly, they disturbed the prey so that they could find their targets. Secondly, they also declared their sovereignty to the surrounding neighbors. I am here.
When hunting, don't let other guys come over.
Even birds and animals have a strong sense of territory, and humans are no exception.
Wuli Jian, not just Wuli Jian, but the whole of Sichuan and Shu is not a big place. It really cannot accommodate so many people. Therefore, the battle for the territory is naturally inevitable...
In this era, although they often claim to have armies of hundreds of thousands and millions of people, even the Hu people have learned this trick now, and they often declare how many troops they have.
It's overwhelming. Think about the first-year military training in various universities. Three to four thousand people basically occupy the entire playground. If multiplied by two, three, or even ten times, an ordinary person who can't even count his fingers and toes will be overwhelmed.
People of the Han Dynasty, let alone one hundred thousand and one million, just said ten million, and they still believed it.
Because I have no idea at all...
In Sichuan and Sichuan, among the mountainous areas, it is basically a joke to claim hundreds of thousands and millions. Unless it is originally meant to scare people, otherwise both sides will actually send tens of thousands of people to a decisive battle, and the graphics card will definitely burst.
Oh...ahem, the valley must be overcrowded...
There are many mountains in Sichuan and Sichuan. If it is really that big, it will definitely not be able to fit on one mountain. Then the army will be divided into several parts, some on the mountains here and some in the valleys on the other side?
So normally speaking, the number of soldiers fighting in mountainous areas is at the level of a thousand, with a maximum of three to four thousand at most. No matter how many there are, there is no way to form a queue. The soldiers who are not on the front line are all out of reach.
Liu Bei claimed to have 30,000 troops, and then he claimed that there were 10,000 troops in Wulijian. In fact, they were just over 2,000, and there were 1,000 Zhang Fei and his men roaming around in the mountains. Although the number was small, most of these soldiers were
They were all soldiers recruited and trained by Liu Bei when he was in Xinye. Most of them had been training for nearly half a year. It is not too much to call them relatively capable regular soldiers, or junior elites.
In this era, basically these elites have undertaken the most important combat missions. They serve as assault forces in field battles and can serve as dead soldiers when attacking fortresses. They are well paid and equipped with relatively sophisticated equipment.
The rest of the troops are generally responsible for auxiliary tasks such as garrisoning, guarding, patrolling, maintaining food routes, etc. During the field battle, their role is to maintain the front line, maintain the formation, and cover the flanks, so that these elites can
You can launch a decisive impact without any worries.
Not to mention the Han Dynasty, even in dynasties such as the Tang and Song dynasties with relatively developed economies, there was no way to prepare hundreds of thousands of soldiers for a long time at the same time, and then let all these hundreds of thousands off work to receive high-intensity training to become an independent state.
Professional soldiers who support this, because this consumes too much material and money, and the civil and military disputes in the past dynasties are often financial disputes.
Therefore, how to make better use of elite soldiers to effectively attack the opponent, while increasing the opponent's losses while reducing one's own casualties, has become a problem that the generals in command of the soldiers in Sichuan and Shu must face now.
Zhang Fei was tightly wrapped in a big cloak and sat next to a bonfire. He looked at a bird that had been burnt in his hand with some depression...
I was distracted just now, but I didn't notice that it was burnt.
The guard next to him chuckled while holding back his laughter.
Zhang Fei glanced sideways, snorted, and without much thought, he opened his mouth and bit. The bird was not big, and Zhang Fei didn't even spit out the bones. He chewed them all into pieces and swallowed them.
In the mountains, it’s good to have hot soup and some blood food, but who has the time to chew carefully?
Although Wulijian is not long, it is not a five-mile road to go around. In addition, it is a mountainous area with ups and downs. In addition, we have to stop from time to time to let the guide identify the direction. The speed of the entire journey
I can't get up quickly either.
The scouts who set off early in Wulijian's Zhengxi camp have already detected and understood that Guan Yu has been sending people to harass them all these days, not only to put pressure on the Zhengxi soldiers, but also to tire out the Zhengxi soldiers.
Attract the attention of the troops in Wulijian to conquer the west, so that Zhang Fei can have more opportunities.
If you hit it head-on, it will consume a lot of money.
Although Wuli Jiankou is relatively spacious, after all, there is only one exit, and the spread area is less than a thousand people at most. If the soldiers of the Western Expedition were to form an arc formation outside the Jiankou...
So Guan Yu just led his men to keep pulling, forcing the Zhengxi generals in Wulijian to form formations at the mouth of the stream every day to prevent the camp from being attacked. At the same time, the Zhengxi troops did not dare to rush after Guan Yu's troops.
Come, General Zhengxi's establishment of the stronghold was naturally delayed.
And Zhang Fei was the one who broke the deadlock.
Zhang Fei gnawed the burnt bird, ate a black and yellow pancake, took a water bag and drank half of it. Then he felt a little full in his belly, so he called the guide and asked carefully about the details.
After the journey, he sent an order: "Take a rest early today! Cook at Yin time tomorrow and set off at Mao time!"
The soldiers responded one after another, but Zhang Fei looked at the bonfire, and there seemed to be some flames dancing and flickering in his eyes. After two more hills, he would have gone around, and tomorrow would be the critical moment for victory or defeat!
…………………………
Wei Yan threw the helmet aside angrily.
Today I basically worked on duty all day again.
During these days, if Xu Shu had not given an explicit order, Wei Yan would have led his soldiers into Wuli Stream!
Every day he saw the slender-eyed and bearded guy opposite him showing off his power. Wei Yan didn't know why, but he felt disgusted in his heart. Anyway, he didn't like it, so he wanted to chop him over with a knife and chop off the bearded head.
The guards who followed Wei Yan were also filled with anger.
"General," the guard said, bringing a water bag to Wei Yan, "the camp is being delayed every day, and this is not the way to go..."
Wei Yan took the water bag, took a sip, and then threw it to the guard. He leaned back on the pillar of the camp, straightened his legs, and sighed happily, "Ha... don't worry, count the time."
, it’s almost time to come…”
The guard took the water bag and was stunned when he heard this, "General, what do you mean..."
"I don't mean anything," Wei Yan glared and said, "Give your brothers a secret order to go down. Those who don't want to die should tighten their skin, so that someone doesn't even know about the camp being stolen in the middle of the night! Others...don't worry about it.
them……"
Although in this terrain, as long as you guard the hilltop sentry, the probability of being attacked by a sneak attack will be greatly reduced, but Wei Yan has to guard against it. After all, Wei Yan knows that his unit is the bait, and among them the most attractive to the Jingzhou Army
Delicious, naturally, are some of the original soldiers of Guanghan who were separated from Zhao Wei.
This part was originally meant to be abandoned...
After all, Zhao Wei is still part of the alliance. If Zhao Wei retains too many soldiers, it will not be conducive to the stability of Guanghan. Zhao Wei is also aware of this, so he cut it off and brought it to Wei Yan.
They are all old, weak and disabled soldiers, so these people naturally become the targets of sacrifice.
The guard understood the idea and turned around to give the order. No matter it is ancient or modern, the weak will always be the first to be abandoned. If you want not to be abandoned, begging and crying are useless. You can only continue to become stronger.
Others have to pay attention.
Wei Yan also waited for such an opportunity.
Shortly after dawn, Guan Yu led his troops again. Anyway, the land was less than five miles away, so it was not troublesome to go back and forth every day. While the two sides were forming formations for a stalemate, Zhang Fei and his troops rushed from Wei Yan's flank.
Come out, outflank Wei Yan's retreat, and rush over to kill him!
"Little thief! Take your life!"
Zhang Fei let out a roar, which shook the valley, and came to fetch Wei Yan with his head straight. More than ten Zhao Hao and Guanghan soldiers who were originally on the flanks were immediately wiped out by Zhang Fei!
Seeing such a situation, Wei Yan's pupils couldn't help but shrink!
Although Wei Yan and others were well prepared, Zhang Fei's bravery greatly exceeded Wei Yan's expectations. Seeing Zhang Fei's long, strange-shaped spear flying up and down, not only was the killing force fierce and invincible, but Wei Yan also
It can be seen that Zhang Fei's men still have some strength and can make adjustments at any time according to changes in the battlefield situation...
"Let's go!" Wei Yan immediately turned around and retreated without saying a word. Guan Yu was hacking and killing at the entrance of Wuli Jianjian. He was blocked by Zhao Wei's soldiers and could not get out for a while. But if Wei Yan had a slight attack,
If you hesitate, you will definitely not get any benefits if you are attacked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Ouch, where to go!"
Guan Yu was blocked by the crowd and could not see Wei Yan's movements at the rear, but Zhang Fei, who rushed out from the flank, could see clearly and quickly came to intercept him with his long spear in hand, shouting.
The soldiers of Zhao Wei and Guanghan on the flank heard Zhang Fei's shouts and then saw Wei Yan retreating. Their morale was shaken and their hearts were shattered. They all turned around and ran away. Zhang Fei and his men did not get too entangled with these fleeing flank soldiers.
He was going directly to kill Wei Yan.
Wei Yan frowned slightly and said to a military lord beside him: "Take your brother and go forward, I will stop this guy for a while!" After that, he took his own bodyguard and went to intercept Zhang Fei.
"Wow! Good luck!"
The noise of the battlefield still couldn't cover up Zhang Fei's loud voice. When Zhang Fei saw Wei Yan coming to attack him, he smiled strangely and rushed forward a few steps, and then stabbed Wei Yan in the chest!
Although Zhang Fei's stick was directed towards Wei Yan's chest, and it looked powerful, in fact, the stick was trembling slightly, and he still had three points of strength left in his back hand, ready to change at any time according to Wei Yan's reaction, but he could move up and down.
Adjust it, you can even change it to whipping and smashing, there are so many changes!
Wei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared closely at Zhang Fei's long sword. When he saw Zhang Fei's arms straightened from bending, he suddenly turned his body and swung the long sword diagonally from bottom to top.
come out!
Because of the center of gravity, the center of gravity of the long sword is relatively forward compared to the long sword. Even if Zhang Fei's long sword is lengthened and twisted like a snake, it still suffers in terms of weight when compared with the long sword.
Wei Yan twisted his body and threw out the long knife. It not only had its own strength, but also the strength of the weight of the long knife. It came first, and it was as fast as lightning. With a "clang" sound, it was cut on the ground.
On top of Zhang Fei's long branch!
If it were an ordinary wooden pole, the wood chips would have been flying everywhere and broken into two parts under this blow. And if it were an ordinary person, most of them would just hold on to the wooden pole tightly, and then because it was too tight, they would not be able to fight.
Under the huge shock of the blade impact, even the jaws of both hands will be shattered!
Zhang Fei and Wei Yan both released their weapons almost at the same moment when their weapons collided. After dispelling the first wave of impact force, they clenched their weapons again and adjusted their control, almost at the same time.
, the knife hit one place again, making a louder impact than before. Sparks flew everywhere, and both sides couldn't help but raise their bodies back and take half a step back!
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Come again!" Zhang Fei screamed strangely, shaking his numb arms. He was not angry but happy, shouting to invite a fight, and then stabbed again.
However, Wei Yan took advantage of the momentum, sheathed the long sword, jumped back a step, and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Shoot!"
Wei Yan gave an order, and several guards behind him rushed forward from behind the shields, raised the crossbow that had just been strung up, and without having time to aim, they basically drew the hanging knife at Zhang Fei!
Before facing Zhang Fei, Wei Yan ordered several guards to prepare powerful crossbows. At this time, he suddenly used this move and killed Zhang Fei by surprise!
Zhang Fei made a "ouch" sound, and his hair stood on end. At this moment, it was too late to find something to block him. Moreover, Zhang Fei was charging forward with his long spear, and he had no time to wave his long spear to make a call. Between the lightning and flint, only
Seeing Zhang Fei slam down his hands, like a pole vault, Ma Shan hit the ground and took advantage of the momentum to fly into the air!
Seven or eight crossbow bolts screamed past Zhang Fei's feet, and immediately shot down several guards who rushed after Zhang Fei.
"Arbalest!"
"careful!"
"Third General!"
Zhang Fei's guards rushed forward and blocked Zhang Fei with their shields.
In front of the crossbow at such a distance, all living beings are really equal. If you are accidentally shot, even if you are protected by armor, there will basically be another transparent hole!
"What a pity..." Wei Yan glanced at Guan Yu, who was coming to kill him, tapped Zhang Fei with his finger, then turned around and left, "Quick! Let's retreat!"
"Wow!" Zhang Fei pushed away the shield-wielding guard in front of him and roared furiously, "You rat that hurts people with hidden arrows! Don't leave if you have the guts!" Wei Yan's demeanor of knowing your kid's fate was completely irritating.
After catching Zhang Fei, he immediately followed Wei Yan with his soldiers regardless, and chased him all the way...
