Chapter 310 Interpretation of Yan Yan (8)
These soldiers did not dare to be arrogant in front of Zhang Fei, not because they were concerned about his reputation and identity, but because they had learned from the past.
On the first day when Zhang Fei went out to challenge Yan Yan, there were several fast-mouthed soldiers on the city wall who spoke rudely. Zhang Fei shouted in anger, but his voice was not over. One of the soldiers was so shocked that they stood unsteadily, collided under the city, and lost their lives.
Perhaps the soldiers were just frightened and unstable, but the soldiers did not think so. The rumors that Zhang Fei had resigned Cao Cao's million-strong army were confirmed. Therefore, they all had fear. When Zhang Fei scolded him, they were all focused on defense and were very quiet.
When Yan Yan heard Zhang Fei scolding him with a bad word, he felt angry and did not dare to fight. Why did he feel weak and unable to stand up and scold Zhang Fei, he felt a little frustrated.
After thinking about it, Yan Yan decided to give Zhang Fei a little color. He took off the four-stone hard bow from behind, bent his bow and arrow, and aimed at Zhang Fei.
Yan Yan didn't dare to really shoot Zhang Fei to death, so he took an arrow and aimed at the red tassel on Zhang Fei's helmet. He shot out the arrow, like a meteor chasing the moon, and the arrow just hit the red tassel.
The soldiers on the city wall did not know Yan Yan's thoughts. Most of the soldiers' eyes were not sharp, only that they knew that when they saw him shot away, they showed a strange expression on their faces.
Some archers have extraordinary eyesight and can see it with real eyes. Seeing that the arrows were only a little short of shooting into Zhang Fei's eyebrows, they couldn't help but make waves of regret.
Yan Yan didn't care. He was even a little proud, because he could shoot the red tassels fluttering in the wind on his helmet, and the difficulty was still above the center of his eyebrows.
A master like Zhang Fei was known to be merciless by Yan **’s helmet. This method is exactly the same as Huang Zhong’s shooting of Guan Yu in Changsha!
Yan Yan was deliberately promoted by Zhuge Liang, so Yan Yan naturally knew about this. Guan Yu was very grateful back then.
But Zhang Fei, who was under the city, seemed not to appreciate it. He wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He had already heard the direction of the arrow, so he did not avoid it. He saw the arrow roaring past his head, pretending to be furious, and cursed with hatred:
"Old man Yan Yan, it's not a skill to hurt people in secret arrows. If you are a real hero, open the city gate and fight me, Lao Zhang for 300 rounds!"
Although Zhang Fei's voice is loud, his words of cursing are not vicious because of his own identity. He is just like the words "old man".
Although Yan Yan is most afraid of others saying that he is old, Zhang Fei's attempt to anger the cunning Yan Yan with these few words is still not enough.
Yan Yan on the city tower heard Zhang Fei's words, and his expression, which was originally a little proud, disappeared instantly, and his expression became a little ugly, but he did not speak out, but just looked at Zhang Fei in the distance coldly.
When Zhang Fei saw that Yan Yan was not speaking, he knew that the heat was not enough, so he continued to increase his efforts and cursed:
"The old man who hurts people with hidden arrows, you can't show off your archery skills! Try shooting a few more arrows, and I, Lao Zhang, stood here and didn't see you hurt me! No wonder you can only stay in the door and pretend to be grandson. It turns out that you are an old man who is not good at archery skills and has become a false reputation!"
Yan Yan enjoys a reputation in Xichuan, and is even more like a war god in Bajun, especially his archery skills are unique!
He could not tell his subordinates about his mercy. Even his nephew Yan Xuebin thought he had made a mistake. Zhang Fei confirmed that he was not good at archery skills. The eyes of his subordinates around him changed a little, and obviously he did not have the same kind of worship as before.
Yan Yan did not show up in the past two days and was scolded by Zhang Fei three times a day. Although the soldiers scolded him back, their morale was not as good as before.
Yan Yan came here today to shoot this arrow, thinking that he was to scare Zhang Fei away and increase his morale.
Who knew that Zhang Fei was exploited by him, not only did he not appreciate his merciless secret tricks, but instead he became more and more verbal wars. His own arrow did not have the effect of deterrence, but instead affected his morale.
Yan Yan was angry and picked up the Four Stones Bow again, trying to show his real skills and shoot Zhang Fei a few arrows to let him know how powerful he is and to regain his somewhat sluggish morale.
He just took the arrow and aimed at Zhang Fei. Seeing his sure expression, Yan Yan was not sure to shoot Zhang Fei and put down the bow and arrow again.
Because Yan Yan himself has a way to distinguish the incoming arrows. It is difficult for arrows on the battlefield to hurt him. If Zhang Fei is not prepared, he may be successful. Now Zhang Fei is focused on his defense, and he is afraid that he will not have the chance. If he doesn't do it well, he will backfire.
Looking back at Zhang Fei's arrow just now, he was unable to dodge in the eyes of others, but Yan Yan thought he was a master of art and courage.
Although all the generals at that time were very skillful in archery skills, they also practiced the method of avoiding arrows. There were not many examples of shooting enemy generals on the battlefield. It was not that they didn’t want to save trouble, but that it was too difficult.
Many sharpshooters can successfully shoot and kill enemy generals on the battle formation, mostly attacking when the enemy generals are fighting against their own generals. Zhang Fei is now in a leisurely manner, and Yan Yancai can't make a contribution.
Although Yan Yan had no intention of fighting with Zhang Fei, he did not want to fall in sight. He was originally a bit of a wait for a price.
Who knew that Zhang Fei did not play according to common sense and did not have the sincerity to persuade him to surrender. Yan Yan must not just surrender, as it is a bit difficult to do so!
Yan Yan sighed and ordered Yan Xuebin:
"You are still responsible for guarding the city gates, not going to fight, notifying the work left outside the city, and closely monitoring the movements of Zhang Fei's army. If necessary, the people can reveal the path.
Yan Xuebin knew that Yan Yan still didn't want to do his best to deal with Zhang Fei, but asked Xiaozuo to reveal the path that could be circled by intentionally let Zhang Fei walk around.
Yan Yan returned to the Central Army tent and fell into deep thought again.
The information he received was that Zhang Ren shot Liu Bei's military advisor Pang Tong in Luocheng. Liu Bei retreated to Fuguan, but Liu Zhang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Instead, he gave Liu Bei a chance to breathe and brought reinforcements from Jingzhou, which made Yan Yan completely disappointed with Liu Zhang!
If reinforcements only had Zhang Fei and he would stop him here, he might be able to relieve the danger of Luocheng. However, this time, Zhang Fei was not the only army entering Xichuan, but also Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun had already rushed to Luocheng from the water.
Even if he blocked Zhang Fei's journey, it would be useless. Liu Bei was able to break through Luocheng and attack Chengdu directly.
Yan Yan really has no idea about the next step of action, so he can only take one step at a time.
Yan Yan was undecided, and Zhang Fei felt a little uncomfortable. He did not arouse Yan Yan for two consecutive days. Not only did he not have a happy fight, but he delayed his itinerary.
Zhang Fei was not afraid of being stopped by Yan Yan, but was afraid of being stolen by Zhao Yun!
On the first day, after being scared by his loud shout, a soldier fell off the city wall. As the number of scolding increased, although there were still many soldiers in the city who were stubborn and scolding each other, the morale of the Shu army was actually sluggish. Even if it was a strong attack, he was sure to break the city in just a few days.
Now that things have come to this point, Zhang Fei can only continue to play a pig and eat a tiger, and start performing the common clumsy strategies.
