Chapter 311 Interpretation of Yan Yan (9)
The Bajun County City was built in a valley, with the city walls on both sides being only a few feet away from the mountain.
Therefore, there is no path between the city wall and the mountain, but a deep trench that cannot be accessed at all.
Even if someone climbs down from a cliff, he will be within the effective range of the crossbow on the city wall. Before the person gets close to the city wall, he will be shot into a sieve.
Therefore, it is very difficult to pass here.
The county town is built against the mountains, occupying the main road from Hanchuan to Chengdu. It is surrounded by chaotic mountains. Apart from passing through the city, it is impossible for a large group of people to cross such a steep cliff.
Zhang Fei was unwilling to accept it, so he started from the foot of the mountain in the distance, hiked up the mountain, and went up to the cliff halfway up the mountain, and wanted to find a way to break the city.
Looking down from the mountain, I saw that thousands of soldiers in the city were all dressed neatly, lined up in line, lying in the city, obviously to prevent Zhang Fei from attacking the city gate successfully.
It really allowed Zhang Fei to see the flaws of the city. Although the wall behind the city is thick, it is relatively low, only one person tall. If you can attack from behind the city, it is not too difficult to break through the city. The problem is that you cannot bypass the cliff.
In the city, there are many civilians coming and going, moving bricks and stones, repairing the city walls, and helping to defend the city.
When Zhang Fei returned to the village, he had no other means to use it. He just let the army swear outside the city and used all means to lure Yan Yan out of the city to attack, but the soldiers guarding the city turned a blind eye and did not move.
After scolding for another day, Zhang Fei still didn't see Yan Yan, so he had to return in a bad mood.
He has been yelling and scolding for several days, but Yan Yan just couldn't hold on.
Zhang Fei knew that this method of provoking generals would be difficult to take effect. Yan Yan was well-known and was a rare and good opponent.
Zhang Fei was very competitive and was about to continue fighting wits and courage with Yan Yan and hone himself, but he was afraid of delaying the time he met Zhuge Liang in Luocheng, so he had to take out his last trump card and prepare to steal the path through a big fanfare.
Since working with Ma Su several times, Zhang Fei has also been greatly affected in marching and fighting. His army is not only equipped with heavy armored cavalry, but also a large number of gunners.
But the biggest change is that he has become very important to the collection of intelligence.
Before coming to Ba County, Zhang Fei had already found out that there was a small road behind the mountain that could bypass the county town and reach the next pass. Therefore, he did not mind whether Yan Yan surrendered and fought with Yan Yan here.
Zhang Fei's stealing through the path was just a cover. In fact, he wanted to lead Yan Yan out of the city to intercept the food and supplies behind him, and then set up an ambush to break through the city in one fell swoop.
He was also afraid that Yan Yan would not take the bait, so he suddenly thought of a plan to prevent the soldiers from quarreling for the time being, and they all rested in the village, and only sent dozens of soldiers to search for paths in front of and behind the mountains.
Yan Yan was in the city and had not seen Zhang Fei move for a few days. He was a little confused. It happened that the detailed work outside the city had come to report. Zhang Fei sent people everywhere to find a path these days, as if he wanted to bypass Ba County.
Yan Yan has also thought it through the past few days. He doesn't want Zhang Fei to surrender for the time being, but he doesn't want to fight with Zhang Fei to the death. When he heard that Zhang Fei wanted to steal, he felt that this might be a good thing.
Because he was not optimistic about Liu Zhang, although Yan Yan did not take the initiative to surrender to Zhang Fei, if Zhang Fei could really steal it, it would be a result that both sides could accept, so he would instruct his subordinates to do it carefully and tell Zhang Fei the path without any trace and send the evil god away.
On that day, these sergeants who were exploring the way back, brought a few people back, saying that they had found the path.
Zhang Fei sent them out to find a path, originally just to act, intentionally let Yan Yan know that he was going to steal it, but he had no purpose to hide it, so the soldiers could do it freely, but unexpectedly they really found the secret path.
Zhang Fei was afraid that several people would be cheating, so he ordered the soldiers to bring the people up and asked about the journey carefully in person, which was consistent with the news he received, and it seemed that it was not Yan Yan's detailed work to come to deceive him.
But Zhang Fei still did his tricks and said to his left and right:
"Go and get some silver to reward these people. Since I have found a way out, it is not advisable tonight to make meals at the second day of the evening. During the bright moon of the third day, I will pull up the villages, carry the people and go to the bells, and walk quietly. I personally set the way in front, and the troops will walk in turn. When I saw me stealthily passing by, I only said that I was heading to Luocheng and would not prepare. But I returned to Ba County from the main road and broke the city from behind. Yan Yan dared to stop our army from advancing. After breaking the city, I caught the whole family and the youngest family, without leaving any chickens and dogs."
Zhang Fei's messenger reported the news in the village, just to let Yan Yan know the news. In fact, these two people were Yan Yan's detailed works. They heard Zhang Fei's words and did not dare to delay. They hurried back to the city and reported Zhang Fei's original words to Yan Yan, word by word.
After Yan Yan's face became very ugly after hearing this!
He originally wanted to send Zhang Fei away, the evil god, but who knew that he didn't play according to common sense and wanted to kill someone and kill him, and even kill him all over the family. How could he not be angry?
Even if Yan Yan was fully prepared, he would find it difficult to defend the city.
Because this city mainly blocks the way it comes from, the terrain here varies greatly, and the repair of the city wall behind the city is relatively low, and it is even possible to climb up the city wall without even needing a ladder.
Yan Xuebin, who was staying aside, was understanding and knew Yan Yan’s concerns, so he offered advice:
"Clan leader, if Zhang Fei really goes around to attack the city behind, we will not only lack troops, but also have a low morale. I am afraid that we will not be able to stop Zhang Fei's siege, so we can only abandon the city and walk! The circling mountain road is quite narrow, but the entrance is relatively small, and it will be difficult to return in a short time once we enter and exit. We might as well take the initiative to attack and wait for Zhang Fei's team to cross over and intercept the food and supplies behind. He has no food and grass supply and will be in chaos without fighting, so he can protect the city."
When Yan Yan heard what he said was reasonable, he ordered:
"Students prepare for battle, and they will make meals tonight. At the second update of the night, they will leave the city at the third update, and lie in the mixed places of trees. Just wait for Zhang Fei to lead his troops through the throat path, and when the baggage, food and grass carts arrived, they heard the sound of drums and rushed out together."
Yan Xuebin passed the order and went to prepare it himself.
At night, Yan Yan's entire army was full of food, and he hung up and quietly left the city, scattered around, and attacked with just a sound of drums.
Yan Yan was meticulous and afraid that this was Zhang Fei's plan, so he personally led more than a dozen generals to dismount and lie in the forest. He had to see Zhang Fei over with his own eyes before he dared to take action.
After the third update, I saw Zhang Feijun quietly coming to the path. Yan Yan could see clearly under the moonlight. He was the first to be tall, wearing black clothes and black armor, riding a black horse, riding a spear and horse, entering the path, and gradually fading away.
Seeing that Zhang Fei had passed, Yan Yan felt relieved. As long as Zhang Fei was not in the army, no one could stop his big sword.
In order to ensure insurance, Yan Yan waited for about half an hour. When Zhang Fei went far, the rear army's chariots and troops arrived one after another.
Yan Yan gave the order, and the drummers beside him beat the drums together, and all the ambushers were rising up.
The Shu army was about to step forward to grab the car, but suddenly a gong sounded from behind, and a bulged army came over. The Shu army was in chaos without fighting, and Yan Yan heard a loud shout from behind:
"Old thief, don't leave! You are just right when I'm waiting for you!"
When Yan Yan looked back, he was the leader of a general, with a leopard head, a ring-eye, a swallow-jawed tiger whisker, a spear, and a deep black horse. Zhang Fei came in person.
