In mid-to-late October, the temperature in the mountains has gradually dropped. With the mist blowing one after another, the slight winter chill seems to be gradually approaching, and the days are gradually shortening. Not only is it brighter at night, but also
It gets dark early.
Wu Yi's soldiers stationed on the west bank of Fushui were woken up from their sleep by the military academy early. Taking advantage of the clear gray sky, they began a busy and chaotic day.
What exactly is war?
Some people say it's like a game of chess, some say it's a grab for territory, some say it's a fight for interests. Everyone may have a different view, but no matter which one, it's actually full of blood and darkness.
Wu Yi also woke up early. He had not slept well in the past two days and was extremely restless.
A confidant guard came to the tent with a basin of hot water, and another guard quickly stepped forward and opened the tent door. Suddenly, a cold wind rushed in, letting Wu Yi, who was only wearing a middle coat,
I couldn't help but shiver.
"Damn it, why are you doing such a big thing! Didn't you see that the general just got up! General, it's windy today, be careful not to catch the cold..."
Wu Yi nodded, took out his big cloak and put it on first, then he was silent for a moment, and while taking the hot towel handed over by the guard, he said: "Is there any movement from Zhengxi people and horses?"
"Reporting to the general, it seems that we have temporarily set up camp at the mountain stronghold..."
Wu Yi covered his face with the hot towel in his hand, as if this way he could absorb the temperature in the hot towel and make his thinking more active.
After hearing that Wei Yan defeated three villages in one day, Wu Yi immediately became restless, and he didn't even sleep well last night.
From Wu Yi's point of view, Wei Yan ignored Zitong's Sichuan and Shu soldiers and directly attacked Fu County. This incident itself seemed very incredible. Normally, no one would want to expose their side to the enemy.
But how could 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 here! Cook early! After cooking the meat early, we can form an array on the side of Fushui!" Wu Yi ordered.
If Wei Yan really comes, he can at least get a place to relax and wait for work!
This time Wu Yi led his troops and chose to attack Wei Yan here in Fushui. This 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. Wu Yi fought against Wei Yan in Guanghan, which was not very glorious for Wu Yi
Naturally, this matter is no secret in Sichuan and Shu. Now that Wu Yi and Liu Bei have cooperated and commanded some of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers, there has been so much meat for a long time. Wu Yi has eaten a few more bites, and others have naturally been without meat for a long time.
Naturally, he had some opinions, and the mutterings naturally reached Wu Yi's ears.
If he were to be a coward, it would be safe of course, but it would inevitably attract a lot of criticism. Therefore, Wu Yi had to use his record to prove that he had to get up where he fell. In order to convince the public,
Defeating Wei Yan has become Wu Yi's best choice at the moment, bar none.
Therefore, Wu Yisi thought about it and decided to take the initiative the next day and formed a formation on the west bank of Fushui to resist the enemy. On the one hand, he said that he was not afraid of Wei Yan and dared to fight Wei Yan's army head-on. On the other hand, he also wanted to buy more time.
Allow your own soldiers upstream to store water smoothly.
…………………………
Almost at the same time, when Wu Yi decided to form a formation at Fushui to intercept Wei Yan's advance, Wei Yan was also considering his next move.
Wei Yan was naturally adventurous, so when he heard that Fei Qian, the General of the Western Expedition, had arranged for him to be the most dangerous vanguard in a battle involving Arrancar, Wei Yan was not afraid at all, only excited.
As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger.
The sky had just brightened, and Wei Yan had already put on his armor and stood under the commander's flag outside the Chinese army tent. The soldiers coming and going could see him at a glance.
As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, you do not need to be busy all the time, but you need to let all your soldiers know where to find people when they encounter problems. With a backbone to support you, the morale of the army will naturally be stable.
However, Wei Yan was not as confident as he seemed on the surface.
"Fu County, Zitong, Guanghan..." Wei Yan muttered in a low voice, the three place names floating in the corner of his mouth.
Although when setting off, Xu Shu said that Wei Yan was mainly responsible for the forward movement, he also stated that if orders came from Huang Cheng who was following behind, Wei Yan must also obey Huang Cheng's arrangements.
Huang Cheng’s men...
Walking through the mountains and forests is like walking on flat ground, really similar to mountain monkeys. But obviously, it is not impossible for such troops to be used in head-on battles, but it is too wasteful. If Wei Yan was the commander-in-chief, he would not easily let this group of "
"Mountain Monkey" was wasted in the frontal duel between soldiers.
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 soon, so he is required to be able to see the chess board clearly, understand his opponent, and know which move should be made
How to do it, why to do it...
So, besides letting his troops cover his tracks, does Huang Cheng have any other purpose behind following him?
If there is any goal, what is it?
That's right, Wei Yan is now trying to break away from his current identity as a chess piece, and is beginning to prepare to analyze from a higher level, to wonder why General Zhengxi and Xu Shu arranged this, trying to learn from such an arrangement so that he can
Nutrients for growth.
Wei Yan thought about it, and then suddenly realized something. He stood up, walked around twice, then stopped again, turned his eyes, then couldn't help but spin around twice more, suddenly raised his head, laughed twice, and then
The guards were summoned: "Give a message to General Huang behind you, saying that I will march ten miles to the stronghold today!"
"Ten miles?" The guard thought he heard wrongly.
Wei Yan chuckled and said, "That's right, Shili! Let's just say that if General Huang has any other instructions, you are just reporting to Yu, go ahead!"
…………………………
In a valley about ten miles behind Wei Yan, Huang Cheng quickly received the news sent by Wei Yan.
"Ten miles?" Huang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, just do as your general says..."
Yesterday, I heard that Wei Yan had conquered three strongholds in one day. Huang Cheng was not happy but worried. Huang Cheng also did not expect Wei Yan to be so sharp. Like a sharp steel knife, he rushed directly and broke through Fuxian County in one fell swoop.
The most peripheral defense system.
Fujian County can be roughly divided into three defense circles. The outermost ones are the three cottage outposts that Wei Yan conquered, which are not too far away. The functions of these three cottages are, on the one hand, to delay, and on the other hand, they are used for delay.
It was also to warn others behind, so it was only a matter of time before it was breached, but the speed of Wei Yan's attack was really unexpected.
The second layer of defense in Fuling County is naturally the several ferries up and down the Fuling River, especially the ferry closest to Fuling. It is the focus of the second layer of defense, and Wu Yi is here.
The third layer is naturally the county wall defense system of Fujian County itself.
These defense systems are normal. If we really want to attack Fuxian, then we must sweep up the outer Sichuan and Shu armies and defeat them, and then we can peacefully carry out the siege.
But the problem is that Fei Qian and Xu Shu, the generals who conquered the west, did not want to engage in a costly siege from the beginning.
If Wei Yan only knew a small part of the overall battle plan for conquering the West, then Huang Cheng knew at least half of it.
In a game between two sides, the inferior chess player will only follow the opponent's steps, and the opponent's next move will be a move, just like in Go, where he clearly memorizes a large number of changes in formulas, and then moves exactly the same.
After coming out, I finally found that all my responses were obviously the best, but I lost...
If we go to conquer Sichuan and Shu city by city, it will waste time and soldiers. All the generals who conquered the west adopted the strategy of attacking the heart before Fei Feiqian, so now that the troops are sent to Fu County, it will naturally still be a battle of heart.
, just starting from another angle.
Huang Chengdu was originally going to send someone to contact Wei Yan, but Wei Yan took the lead and made it clear that he would only travel ten miles. Huang Cheng immediately knew that Wei Yan had also figured it out, and he couldn't help but think highly of Wei Yan.
After all, there are many generals who know how to do what they are told, but not many who know not only what is happening but also why.
It seems that Wei Yan's potential is quite 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 these two days, the autumn air is crisp and cloudless. It is indeed a good weather, but it also means that Wu Yi and others can't even be covered by a cloud.
No, it can only be dried in the sun...
Counting the time, it should be almost here!
Wu Yi was a little anxious.
The soldiers from Sichuan and Sichuan below had already started talking about it. Some middle-level generals and commanders gave orders at first, but then they shut up and allowed the soldiers to whisper to each other...
Who the hell wouldn't be complaining after standing in line for a long time without even seeing a ghost?
Wu Yi looked up at the sky again.
The sun was shining brightly, and it seemed to be mocking him, spreading the smile on his face without any reservation.
"Come here!" Wu Yi called to the scouts, "Go and check to see where the people who conquered the west have arrived!"
…………………………
Day four.
In the first two days, Wu Yi was still a little happy.
It is better to walk slowly, slower is better, it is best to wait until the intercepting dam is built...
But as time went by, Wu Yi's secret joy slowly turned into doubt.
What happened? I walked ten miles on the first day, ten miles on the second day, and stopped moving at all on the third day!
What kind of trick is this!
The interception dam in 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. Now everything was ready, all that was needed was for people to come.
But what about this person?
The distance of the last twenty miles made Wu Yi very embarrassed. The Zhengxi troops must have known that he was here, but they didn't show up.
Could it be that the upstream activities were discovered?
However, the scouts and warnings placed around did not return any news. In addition, water attack strategies are generally used in spring and summer. In autumn and winter, due to low water, it is not easy to use, so normally there will be no one.
When you think of this thing, it is normal to be fire-proof and attack in this season.
In addition, the upper reaches of Fushui River are rugged, and normally no one would take a special detour to check it out. Therefore, Wu Yi thought that his water attack strategy could be said to be original, and it must have exceeded Wei Yan's expectations, but now
, Wu Yi himself couldn't help but mutter a little, and he was no longer so sure in his heart.
Amidst the anxiety, it was another day of hard work, but on the fifth day, the situation suddenly changed.
Early in the morning, Wu Yi sent out scouts across the Fujian River to investigate. At this moment, he could no longer sit still. However, the news reported by the scouts surprised Wu Yi. Wei Yan's men were missing! According to
Judging from the traces, it seems that they were evacuated overnight last night!
Withdrawn?
Why?
So what do I do now?
Continue to wait here, should we withdraw our troops and return to Fu County, or...
…………………………
"General Huang, why did General Wei retreat?"
On the hillside, Jiao Zong looked at Wei Yan and his soldiers disappearing into the distance of the mountain road, and asked with some confusion.
Jiao Zong, whose courtesy name is Shouyi, is brave and good at riding and shooting. He heard that General Zhengxi was fighting in the north and fought against Xianbei and Fuyin Mountain. He was fascinated by it, so he joined some good family members and came to join General Zhengxi. Now he is under Huang Cheng's command.
, for the time being, the length of a song.
Huang Cheng smiled naively, glanced at Jiao Zong, and said, "Haha, we don't really want to attack Fujian, why don't we retreat?"
In addition to being serious when issuing military orders, Huang Cheng smiled innocently most of the time, so he also had a kind of affinity. Therefore, several Qu Changjun Hou who followed him including Jiao Zong couldn't help but feel a little strange when they heard this.
, if we didn’t hit Fujian, why did we come all the way?
"Have you ever caught fish?" Huang Cheng said with a smile, "To catch fish, you have to put some bait..."
Jiao Zong and others couldn't help but be stunned.
"Okay, let's go get to work," Huang Cheng waved his hand and said, "We'll just wait here and go back and take a closer look to make sure we don't reveal our secrets... to see which fish took the bait..."
"General, don't worry!"
"My subordinate understands!"
A group of people responded one after another, then dispersed to make arrangements individually.
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. For fishing, the river outside naturally needs to be fished, and the pond inside
Well, you have to take a look at it more or less to make sure that a certain fish is hooked, right?
Huang Cheng looks simple and honest on the outside, but in fact he is very delicate in his heart. His men are not only people from Xiliang and the north, but also some soldiers from Hanzhong, and even some from Jingxiang...
Just like Jiao Zong, didn't he also come from Jingxiang?
The mountains are floating freely, blowing the grass and trees in the mountains. The green mountains and green mountains are extremely pure, reflecting the restlessness of the world.
