This time Zhuge Liang was really right. As soon as the Yan family's father and son died, Jiangyang City's resistance instantly collapsed. Before Hua Xiong had had enough of it, the whole war was declared over. He sent troops to continue to pursue the escaped Jiangyang soldiers, and at the same time sent people to attack Long.
Fei reported, opened the city gate and let Xu Huang in. Although the battle was short-lived, it was quite brutal. Jiang Yang's 10,000 soldiers lost half of them dead and wounded, and most of the other half were captured. The rest escaped. By the way, there were also others who escaped.
Those aristocratic families would give up their houses and land in order to save their own lives.
Every house in Jiangyang City was closed and everyone was waiting to see what the newly occupied people would do. Xu Huang swung his axe: "Reinforce the city gates immediately and clean up the battlefield. Let's see what happens next."
It's ours! Let time decide whether he will be like the Yan family and his son!"
When Meng Da led his troops to arrive, he happened to see the battle flags being replaced on the city. Although the appearance of the dragon army's battle flags fluttering in the dark night was unclear, the snapping sound made by the strong wind was particularly loud. Mengda area
He reined in the horse and took a deep breath.
Military Supervisor Fazheng shook his head: "This group of dragon troops is really powerful. They defeated Jiangyang in a short time! General Meng, what should we do? Should we fight or wait?"
Meng Da didn't speak, looking at the situation on the top of the city. The Dragon Army soldiers stood neatly on the city wall, the weapons in their hands emitting a cold light. The damaged lamp ball and torch had been repaired, illuminating the entire Jiangyang.
It was like daytime. The soldiers stood there motionless. And those patrolling back and forth were also full of energy.
Fazheng waited for a long time, but did not see Mengda speak, and said again: "I think the city gate seems to have been damaged. Wouldn't it be better if we attacked from there? Now they have not established a stable foothold in Jiangyang, which happens to be ours.
Credit!”
Meng Da is also a general in Yizhou. Although he is not as good as Zhang Ren, he still knows some art of war and tactics. After hearing what Fa Zheng said, he shook his head repeatedly: "No! The Art of War says: Soldiers are crafty, who knows those two
What’s inside that broken city gate? Often the place that looks best to attack has the most various mechanisms. I estimate that there must be a horse trap inside that city gate, and there is a large group of dragon troops waiting for us!"
"Oh! That's it, I've learned a lesson from you!" Fazheng nodded repeatedly: "If there is nothing behind it, are we wasting an opportunity?"
Meng Da felt a little unhappy when he heard this, and glared at Fazheng with his eyes closed: "If you don't believe it, sir, you can lead your troops to check!"
"Hahaha!" Fazheng quickly put on a smile: "The general is joking, I am a scholar who is not qualified to lead troops in war! Everything is up to the general's decision!"
The dilapidated city gate was opened, and Hua Xiong took the lead. He led five hundred cavalry and suddenly ran out from the city gate and stood a stone's throw away from Mengda. From both sides, you looked at me and I looked at you. No one was there.
Take action first. They are all waiting, but they don't know what they are waiting for.
"Hey!" Hua Xiong shouted: "What are you doing? Since you haven't attacked the city since you came here, how long will you wait? If you want to attack, then attack early, we still have to rest!"
Fazheng immediately retorted: "You barbarians from there, didn't Long Fei teach you how to speak? We still don't look down on a mere Jiangyang. To tell you the truth, behind me are the most elite soldiers in the entire Yizhou.
, it won’t take any effort to hit you!”
"Hahaha..." Hua Xiong laughed loudly: "You are Zhang Song, the buyer who seeks glory, right? No wonder everyone in the world calls you the most ugly man. Not only are you ugly, you also speak so ugly! If you have the ability, you can
Come and give it a try, look at Jiang Yang, whether you can take it or not!"
"I am Fazheng of Mubie family in Yizhou, not Zhang Song!" Fazheng was a little angry. Can Zhang Song compare with me? Although he is not a suave person, at least he is a talented person. Fazheng Zhengzheng corrected his clothes: "
This is General Mengda, the Commander-in-Chief of the Yizhou Army. You two unknown soldiers should surrender quickly?"
"Okay! If you want us to surrender, you must first defeat the sword in my hand!" Hua Xiong waved the sword and was about to rush forward. However, he heard the sound of the gong behind him and glared at Fazheng fiercely: "Forget about you.
Good luck. If you have the guts, try attacking the city!" After saying that, he turned around and headed back with his horse's reins.
Meng Da and Fazheng looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they were not confident in attacking the city guarded by the Dragon Army, but if there was no movement, they would not be able to explain to Zhuge Liang.
This person can be regarded as a surrendered pawn. I don’t know why this Fazheng is very close to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang trusts this person so much and is also a threat to Meng Da.
Meng Da sighed: "Sir, do you think we are attacking the city now or..."
Fazheng looked at Jiangyang City and then at Meng Da: "General Meng, are you sure we can capture it?" Meng Da shook his head quickly, and Fazheng smiled: "In that case, let's wait until the military advisor comes. Jiangyang has been captured.
The Dragon Army has occupied it, and it will be difficult to recapture it. Jiangzhou will be here in an instant, so we have to be more careful!" Meng Da nodded and immediately ordered his scouts to be sent out to guard against Long Fei's surprise attack from behind. He then set up a formation under Jiangyang City.
Always be prepared.
Hua Xiong returned to the city and was a little angry: "General Xu, why do you call him gold?"
Xu Huang said: "The order given to us by the Lord is to guard this city. Since they do not attack, we just wait. There is no need to fight with them. As long as the Lord's army takes action tomorrow morning, our mission will be completed. Lord
My dear soldiers, if there is any damage from the fight outside the city, how can you and I report it to the Lord? Does General Hua still remember Ling Tong?"
Speaking of Ling Tong, Hua Xiong was stunned. Back then, Ling Tong tried his best to attack Cao Ren and Le Jin's camp with 3,000 men, wiping out the entire army and almost killing Long Fei. Hua Xiong sighed: "Although,
In this way, this Fa Zheng, Meng Da is just Zhuge Liang's vanguard. If we don't destroy it now, how will we respond when Zhuge Liang's army arrives? There are only 10,000 troops in this city!"
Xu Huang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, since the Lord can send us, he will naturally find a way! Just do as you are told!"
When Long Fei received the news that Xu Huang had captured Jiangyang, he clapped his hands on several cases, his face full of excitement: "Okay! If we capture Jiangyang, we will become at odds with Jiangzhou. If Zhuge Liang dares to come, let them have it."
If you don't come back, send my order to immediately send more troops and horses to Jiangyang, and then send people to support Xu Huang, so that Zhuge Liang will know how powerful we are!"
Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly, with a worried look on his face. When Xu Shu saw it, he quickly asked: "What does the military advisor think is wrong?"
Guo Jia sighed slightly: "It is good to capture Jiangyang, but our scoring troops, neither Jiangyang nor Jiangzhou, can defend well. If Zhuge Liang comes to attack the east and west, he will fall into the trap and lose that if he is not careful.
A city is not a good thing."
"You mean, Zhuge Liang is targeting Jiangzhou?" Long Fei asked.
Guo Jia shook his head: "Zhuge Liang is very cunning and good at using troops. Since he dares to go to Tuojiang River, it means he is sure. If he says that he has not seen through our plan to occupy Jiangyang, I will not believe him even if he is killed!"
Guo Jia's words made everyone think deeply. Long Fei's mind was full of Zhuge Liang. Mr. Lu Xun once said that Zhuge Liang in Lao Luo Tou's works was almost a monster. It seemed impossible that such a character could easily fall into the trap. Since Zhuge Liang knew Jiang If Yang is not easy to fight, why come here? If Zhuge Liang is not too stupid, then there is only one explanation: Zhuge Liang has a conspiracy.
After receiving the battle report from Meng Da, everyone was shocked. Especially Ma Liang, he could not imagine how Long Fei's 10,000 cavalry could break through Jiangyang City. Yan Yan also had 10,000 soldiers and horses, no matter how incompetent he was. It shouldn't be a problem to defend it for a day or two. However, it was broken in less than half a day. Ma Liang said angrily: "Yan Yan is really old and useless. The good Jiang Yang is just taken by Long Fei?"
Sun Qian looked at Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, have you already calculated this step? What should we do next?"
"Jiangzhou and Jiangyang are originally connected by the same spirit. If any point is captured, the other point will be in danger!" Zhuge Liang didn't seem nervous at all, but relaxed. Looking at the two of them, he smiled for the first time: "I know. After Long Fei captured Jiangzhou, he wanted him to also capture Jiangyang! This time, Long Fei led an army of 100,000 to invade Yizhou and was bound to win. However, our army is small and it would be difficult to win if we fight Long Fei head-on! Coming from Yiling and conquering the city, he looks brave, but in fact his strength is being depleted little by little!"
Ma Liang and Sun Qian looked at each other, not understanding what Zhuge Liang meant. Zhuge Liang pointed to the cities of Yiling, Baidi, Kuiguan, Linjiang, Fuling, Jiangzhou, and Jiangyang: "Just these small cities have already Let Long Fei's army go from 100,000 when he entered Sichuan to 60,000 now. If Long Fei captures a few more, how many troops do you think he still has?"
"Oh...!" Ma Liang suddenly realized: "The military counselor wanted Long Fei to divide his troops so that we can defeat them one by one!" Suddenly he felt something was wrong: "No! In this case, we can just wait in Chengdu, why come all the way here? Here?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Long Fei is the best at winning over people's hearts. If he is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Jiangzhou and encroach on us step by step, the entire Yizhou will really be unprotected!"
Ma Liang and Sun Qian nodded repeatedly: "The military advisor should think carefully!"
The three of them looked at each other, and their faces suddenly changed from the previous frown, revealing a rare smile. Zhuge Liang planned well. Every time he captured a city, Long Fei had to divide his troops to garrison them. The more cities he captured, the more troops he would allocate. The more troops there are, the more they can't enter Chengdu at the current speed, and Long Fei has very few soldiers and horses left. His main purpose of sending troops this time is not to have a decisive battle with Long Fei, but to lure Long Fei to continuously attack cities and seize territory, and then give him A fatal blow.
Zhuge Liang ordered the entire army to attack Jiangyang City, and then sent a team of soldiers and horses to pay close attention to the movements in Jiangzhou. If there was any disturbance, he would report immediately. He abandoned the ship and landed ashore. All the soldiers went into battle lightly, leaving a large number of soldiers to guard their rear. This Everything was to guard against Long Fei. He knew clearly how powerful the Long Army was. He didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he definitely couldn't let them die here.
