Wanting and doing it are actually two different things.
When the Yi people encountered Xu Shu and Liu Bei, they originally wanted to fight in two waves. This way it would appear that they were really beyond their capabilities and had to retreat, so that the Han army could pursue the pursuit with confidence and lure the Han army to the scheduled ambush.
The location, but unfortunately, it's not that Haute Couture doesn't want it, but that Yiren really can't do it.
Although how can a man say no, if it could really be controlled by willpower, then there wouldn't be so many aphrodisiacs on the market. And the most terrifying thing is not that the barbarians can't come a second time, but that
It was Hou Gouzi who was posted by Wei Yan with a smile...
Not long after Gao Ding and Liu Fan left Jianning and detoured from Xishan, Wei Yan, who was north of Jianning, led his soldiers southward without any hesitation. Now they are close to Kuncheng.
Gao Ding and Liu Fan were greatly surprised when they received the urgent military information. But now, they can't just retreat. They can only bite the bullet and hope to kill Xu Shu first. After all, if they choose to retreat, don't consider it.
The problem of morale will also face the situation of being attacked back and forth by Xu Shu and Wei Yan.
Therefore, the heavy responsibility of defense could only fall on Yong Kai, so Yong Kai rushed back to Jianning at starry night to take charge of the defense.
Kuncheng.
Kuncheng is not big. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a transfer station was built when the troops invaded the Yiyang. Later, it slowly expanded into a city. However, after so many years, the intersection of two streets in the city is still the main one.
The roads and three or five alleys stretch up and down, and they are still not on the same level as other big cities in the Han Dynasty.
Strictly speaking, Jianning is not yet a serious county. In terms of ownership, it is still under the jurisdiction of Yizhou County in the records of the Han Dynasty. It is just because it deviates too far from Chengdu.
It's far away, so it actually became another county. After a long period of operation, I got used to this name.
It was basically in the late Three Kingdoms period that they were truly separated and became officially recognized counties.
However, this is not the focus of Yong Kai's attention. All his thoughts are now focused on the soldiers of Wei Yan below the city.
Yong Kai sat at the top of the city, looking at Wei Yan's camp outside the city. Apart from the flash of fat on his face, it was full of exhaustion and worry. Before doing anything, Yong Kai thought he was infallible and had already
He has taken all aspects into consideration, and in order to be able to make a decision in one fell swoop, he even began to consciously arrange manpower at various points a few years ago. Now it seems that things are going relatively smoothly in Jianning, but in Jianning
When it comes to things outside, Yong Kai's thinking has gone a long way...
First of all, Yong Kai did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Sichuan and Shu would be so greatly improved after replacing the hussar generals. After all, in Yong Kai's impression, the soldiers in Sichuan and Shu were still in the era of Liu Yan, and even the local powerful could not cope with them.
, In addition, after Liu Zhang came to power, there was internal strife. Zhao Wei, who was the most capable, was forced to split by Pang Yi. Naturally, the combat power of Sichuan and Shu was greatly degraded. Normally, even the hussar generals controlled Sichuan.
It will take some time for Shu to recover before it can have the combat power to deal with the changes in Jianning.
However, it is obvious that the premise and basis used by Yong Kai in judging the combat effectiveness of soldiers are wrong, and the conclusion is naturally wrong...
In the second aspect, Yong Kai's judgment about Wei Yan was also wrong.
Although Wei Yan attacked Sichuan and Shu all the way, and his reputation spread to Jianning, which made Gaoding Yongkai and others have some scruples, Yongkai still believed that Wei Yan's three thousand troops were naturally enough for defense, but They wanted to attack Jianning, but there were some shortcomings. No matter what, it would take about 8,000 to 10,000 people to even think about it, so it was indeed unexpected for Wei Yan to dare to charge in with 3,000 men, and the defense was insufficient.
"Maybe just one more month... no, half a month more..."
Yong Kai sighed softly.
The difference is a month, even half a month.
As long as he has half a month, Yong Kai can take advantage of the time difference to deal with Xu Shu first, and then even if Wei Yan is brave and good at fighting, he will probably be powerless in the face of the shock situation in Sichuan and Shu.
So at the beginning, both Yong Kai, Gao Ding and Liu Fan thought that there was no big problem in putting the main force on the Xishan Road. Even if Xu Shu and others found out, it would be difficult for Wei Yan to cooperate. It is necessary to go around from the west to Chengdu, and then send orders to Wei Yan from Chengdu. Such a run can take as little as three to five days, as long as ten days and a half. Even if Wei Yan receives the order, he must prepare supplies and troops. Machinery and other things, another ten days and a half have passed, so the original estimate by Yong Kai and others was about a month off, and such a month is enough for Yong Kai and others to completely Implemented its original battle plan. At the same time, if the main force of Xu Shu's group is really eliminated, then it is impossible for the three thousand people in Wei Yan to make a comeback.
It's a pity that Yong Kai never expected that he thought he had already looked at Wei Yan in Gaoli, but he still underestimated Wei Yan. From the time he received the news of Wei Yan's dispatch to now, it was only three days, well, four days in total. In a short time, two military strongholds were defeated in a row, and they directly approached Kuncheng. If Yong Kai hadn't arrived here immediately, Kuncheng would have been lost...
Wei Yan's fighting prowess shocked everyone. If Yong Kai hadn't been in Jianning for many years and had arranged some close people to control various places, I am afraid that when Wei Yan arrived at the city, the wallflowers would have surrendered.
Despite this, Yong Kai still noticed the aura of confusion and despair emanating from the soldiers on the city wall of Kuncheng.
This is a general under General Hussar. This is only three thousand soldiers. He is already so sharp. If General Hussar really frees up his hands to lead the army south again...
So what future can we look forward to?
Yong Kai lamented secretly.
This is completely different from the original plan!
The golden belt of murder and arson is not a concept that only exists in later generations. If you can dominate Sichuan and Shu, it will be great, but if not, it is also a good choice to be recruited by the court at a certain time, but at this time...
Cao Cao may not necessarily believe him, but similarly, not believing does not mean that Cao Cao will not accept him. Yong Kai believes that when the time comes, he can use Cao Cao's power to suppress Fei Qian, just like he did in Gaoding and Liu By just moving around, you can get greater and more benefits for yourself.
Jianning is in a unique position, and with nearly 10,000 people and tribes at its disposal, even if it cannot join the struggle for hegemony, it is more or less possible to become a free prince of Sichuan and Shu. But now everything seems to be Under Wei Yan's military front, everything was about to come to naught.
Wei Yan was just outside the city, and he looked like he was about to launch an attack. He first sent people to methodically destroy the few defense equipment outside Kuncheng City to almost all, and he also sent out manpower day after day to strengthen his own defenses. In the camp, siege equipment was being built, and the clanging sound all day long was like the loud noise of a large construction site, making the soldiers in Kuncheng restless and restless.
What worries Yong Kai even more is that the soldiers and people in the city are in panic, and they may not know when it will collapse.
Despair is a very terrible emotion. This emotion will grow and spread inadvertently, and then occupy all the thinking ability and self-control ability, and will destroy all resistance and reason...
Yong Kai knew that to change all this, there must be something that can boost morale, such as news of the victory of Gao Ding and Liu Fan, or defeating Xu Shu and then sending some reinforcements, etc., but Yong Kai also I know that this news cannot come out so quickly, and this matter cannot be decided by Gao Ding and Liu Fan. It also depends on whether the Han army on Xu Shu's side cooperates or not, and whether they will fall into a trap.
Yong Kai knew that Kuncheng was in urgent need of such inspiring news, even if it was...
"Great victory!"
"Leader Gao achieved a great victory!"
When it was dark, three messengers rushed from the rear of Kuncheng, shouting loudly along the way, as if they were afraid that others could not hear clearly, and spread the news that Gaoding had won a major victory in Xishan.
In Kuncheng, the soldiers and people on the city wall suddenly became excited, talking in unison, and their faces seemed to have some radiance of hope. They also seemed to have three points more strength to carry the rolling logs and stones for defense. A little faster too.
The entire Kuncheng was suddenly immersed in an atmosphere of excitement, and the defensive soldiers standing on the city wall seemed to feel that their backs were getting harder.
These soldiers, as well as the people in Kuncheng, don't know how the outside world has changed. The ones closest to them are Yong Kai, Gaoding and others, so the standard of judgment is naturally very simple. Don't the fellows in the countryside not Do you want to help outsiders when you help fellow villagers?
So when I heard that Haute Couture had won a big victory, I was naturally happy from the bottom of my heart, but no one noticed that there was a hidden haze in the folds of Yong Kai's seemingly cheerful smile.
Yong Kai thought that he had improved his assessment of Wei Yan again and again, but...
Unfortunately, Yong Kai still underestimated Wei Yan's courage.
In the camp under Kuncheng, Du Hu looked up at the banner left by Wei Yan and smiled bitterly.
From the moment Wei Yan entered Sichuan, Du Hu seemed to have started a relationship with Wei Yan that was constantly being cut off and messed up. Just like now, Wei Yan has quietly led 800 people over the mountains and ridges to Wei County. , and Du Hu pretended that Wei Yan was still under the city, and put on a posture of preparing to attack the city.
Wei County is Yong Kai’s hometown.
Wei Yan's character has always been like this. It's like he is playing a deck of cards, but Wei Yan can secretly open another deck of cards and play out four kings and eight twos. He is a guy who doesn't like to act according to the rules.
Yong Kai thought that Wei Yan, with 3,000 men, would be very powerful if he could attack Kuncheng. However, Wei Yan still dared to use Kuncheng as a cover to once again lead his soldiers to Wei County through the medicinal trail!
"kill!"
Wei Yan leads the way with a horse. Well, if there is no horse, then he takes the lead with a sword and goes straight to the city gate of Wei County to kill!
Wei Yan said, we are professionals in the matter of robbing the city!
First, a small group of soldiers disguised themselves as human beings, then approached the unsuspecting city gate and launched a violent attack. Then Wei Yan led a large army to attack and plunder. This has become a fixed procedure, extremely smooth and natural.
The hurried city guard captain roared angrily and slashed towards Wei Yan's face!
Wei Yan used the steel shield on his forearm to knock out, but also returned the sword with a knife, and went straight to the left shoulder of the captain who was guarding the city!
"clang!"
The city guard captain slashed at the small steel shield on Wei Yan's arm. He thought that even if Wei Yan could not be knocked down, he could still drive Wei Yan back. However, he did not expect that it would be a bit effortless to slash at the small steel shield. Moreover, Wei Yan could not be driven back, but Wei Yan's sword was already approaching!
The captain guarding the city was so frightened that he no longer cared about his personal image. He turned around and transformed into a rolling gourd to avoid the range of Wei Yan's blade.
When Wei Yan saw that the attack missed, he took a step forward and swung the knife down diagonally. Not only did he pursue and slash him, he even blocked the retreat path of the defender!
Seeing that Wei Yan was slashing with his life-threatening sword again, the defender let out a howl and swung his sword across Wei Yan's waist, trying to neutralize Wei Yan's offensive with a move that would hurt both sides. The defender on the other side used the spear in his hand. He was stabbed to death.
There was a sneer on Wei Yan's face. The small steel shield tied to his left forearm was strong and flexible. He turned it at an angle and blocked the city guard's sword again, and then the sword in his right hand chopped away the thorn. The spear came up, and he raised his foot almost at the same time, and kicked the captain of the city guard in the stomach!
It seemed that people everywhere could hear the sound of his intestines breaking!
The captain's sword fell to the ground and flew backwards, curling up like a cooked shrimp.
Several other city defenders were shocked and rushed forward to grab it.
Wei Yan's guards also arrived at the same time. Under the leadership of Wei Yan, they used shields on the left and swords on the right. They cooperated seamlessly, slashing and smashing. After several rounds, the defenders were hacked to pieces and retreated steadily.
The soldiers guarding the city were frightened by Wei Yan and others. Those in front retreated and those behind hesitated. Although many soldiers came from other city gates one after another, they could not stop the progress of Wei Yan and others. As the city gate finally fell under Wei Yan's control, Wei County's defenders dispersed...
News of the fall of Wei County also reached Kuncheng three days later.
Yong Kai stared at the soldier who was covered in dust and blood. The muscles on his face could not help but tremble. He suddenly understood why Wei Yan's soldiers under the city had been making this preparation and that preparation, wandering around under the city. Go, but there is no siege...
"Bold!" Yong Kai stood up and kicked the soldier who was delivering the message, "How dare you falsely deliver the message! Destroy the morale of our army!"
"??! No... not... me..."
The soldiers were about to say something, but Yong Kai no longer wanted to hear it and shouted: "Come here! Drag this guy down and chop him for lying about the military situation!"
Yong Kai's guard rushed up, slapped the soldier on the cheek, knocked back all his defensive words, and then walked out. Not long after, a short scream came...
Yong Kai gritted his teeth, and the fat on his face pulsated: "Send the order! Let's go out of the city tomorrow to fight! We will definitely defeat the rebel army below the city!"
