Chapter 317 Two Tigers Fight (3)

Zhang Fei hurried out of the camp to fight, with only one thousand troops. If he had put it in the past, with Zhang Fei's bravery and the protection of the eighteen cavalry and the Yan generals, it would be better to break out of the siege by himself, but these soldiers would probably have scattered!

Since Ma Su joined Zhang Fei's army, he has the advanced concept of the dream world, and has also brought new ideas to Zhang Fei in training the army.

Because Ma Su's special military branches have amazing combat power, he attaches great importance to discipline and the training of grassroots officers when training soldiers.

Now Zhang Fei has always used this method to train the army, and there are some grassroots backbones left by Ma Su, and the army has a new look.

This time, facing the attack on both sides of the army that was several times higher than his own, there was no such disintegration as before in Xuzhou. Under the command of his confidant captain, a thousand troops quickly set off their defensive formations and stabilized their positions.

Zhang Fei's martial arts skills were amazing and shouted like thunder. Wu Yi and Zhang Ren dared not come forward to fight, but just directed their subordinates to attack Zhang Fei's formation.

With Zhang Fei's response, Zhang Fei bravely blocked the attack of Zhang Ren and Wu Yi's army several times, but it also reached a limit.

If reinforcements had not arrived, Zhang Fei would still be defeated.

Half an hour passed, and the sergeants under Zhang Fei's stamina decreased and could not withstand the repeated attacks of the Shu army. The formation loosened. Zhang Fei was about to change the formation and was about to break through the encirclement.

Suddenly, a slaughtered out of the river and headed straight for Wu Yi's rear army. He was the first general and jumped on his horse. Zhang Fei clearly saw that it was Zhao Yun who led the army.

Zhang Fei had a very sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield and was a natural general. When he saw Wu Yi's army was in chaos, he immediately seized the opportunity. A thousand troops and horses were converted into attack formations and wanted to join forces with Zhao Yun to attack Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was prepared to run away this time and brought out all his trusted troops. Although he was attacked by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun on both sides, he still maintained his formation.

These ten thousand elites are the foundation of Wu Yi's establishment, and he doesn't want to lose it here. When he saw Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun blocking his retreat from the city one after another, he obviously wanted to keep him outside the city.

When Liu Yan took the initiative to bring Wu Yi from Luoyang to Xichuan and used it as a confidant, he recognized Wu Yi's talent. He did not rise to power based on nepotism, so he was naturally not an incompetent person.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he decisively gave up the idea of ​​returning to the city, led the army to open a bloody road, and walked in a deserted state.

When Zhang Ren saw Wu Yi retreating towards Chengdu, he was alone and could not stop the joint attack between Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. Before Zhang Fei could turn back and fight, he led the army to turn over and retreated from the east gate to the city.

Zhang Fei met with Zhao Yun, and originally wanted to surround Zhang Ren together, but who knew that he had to retreat to the city, so he had to stop and ask Zhao Yun loudly:

"Zilong, where is the military advisor?"

Zhao Yun replied:

"The military advisor and I arrived from the water route together. Seeing Yide and the Shu army fighting hard outside the city, the military advisor asked me to lead troops to help you. He had already gone to lead everyone to the camp, and I guess he had met the lord at this time."

The two of them had no intention of siegeing the city, so they withdrew their troops and returned to Liu Bei's camp. They saw Kong Ming, Jian Yong and Jiang Wan, all of whom were sitting in the tent.

Zhang Fei quickly met Zhuge Liang and others. He won the first prize because of this entry into Sichuan. When he met everyone, he had a lot of fun.

Zhuge Liang had known that Zhang Fei was in front of him, but before he could ask carefully, he saw Zhang Fei coming in and asked in surprise:

"General Zhang, the road is steep and the barriers are numerous. How can we get there first?"

Zhang Fei was very proud, but he was a little embarrassed to speak. Liu Bei took over the conversation and explained the matter of interpreting Yan Yan.

Zhuge Liang secretly praised in his heart that he led the navy to advance. Because Xichuan did not have a large area of ​​water, there was no established navy.

But the journey along the road was not very smooth. Although there were no naval troops intercepting the river, there were often broken boats, wooden rafts and other blocking the road. The ship was set on fire several times. However, Zhao Yun was cautious and calmly resolved by him, and did not waste most of his time.

Zhang Fei gave Zhuge Liang the impression that he had always been a powerful general who was charging into battle. Unexpectedly, his unintentional action this time would have fulfilled Zhang Fei, a reckless man. He originally wanted to praise him and win over the relationship between the two, but he was afraid that Zhang Fei would be complacent and would not take him seriously.

Zhuge Liang's eyes turned, and he had a plan to get his heart. He flattered and directly attributed the credit to Liu Bei. He stood up and congratulated Liu Bei with his fists:

"General Zhang's ability to win with a strange plan is all the blessing of the lord."

After saying that, in order to change the topic, Zhuge Liang directly asked about military information.

After Zhuge Liang arrived, Liu Bei was very determined and was not in a hurry to discuss military affairs. He arranged for everyone to take a break earlier on the grounds that the military advisor was exhausted on the journey.

Zhang Ren returned to Luocheng. Because Wu Yi was defeated, there were only more than 10,000 defensive troops in the city, and the situation was very unfavorable.

Liu Xun's status is still above Zhang Ren and he has automatically upgraded to the head coach. He believes that he can only stick to the support, but he does not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he reports these situations to Liu Xun.

When Liu Xun heard that Wu Yi had been defeated and returned to Chengdu, he could no longer sit still. He didn't want to put himself in a dangerous place, so he fled back to Chengdu overnight with a thousand elite guards on the grounds that he had returned to the city and moved rescue troops.

Liu Xu had no choice but to stand with Zhang Ren and wait for help.

After Zhuge Liang arrived in Luocheng, he did not rush to attack the city. Instead, he checked the terrain outside the city for several days, but did not find a way to break the city. He could only make a long-term plan.

Zhuge Liang still followed Liu Bei's old plan and sent Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to attack the East Gate in turn, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun took turns to invite battle at the West Gate, hoping to force Zhang Ren and Liu Xun to break through and leave.

Liu Xi became the head coach. Although he cherished his life, he was not an incompetent person. He and Zhang Ren made up their minds to stand firm and wait for support. He allowed Wei Yan, Zhang Fei and others to insult him in every possible way, but they just kept the city from leaving.

Wei Yan was eager to make contributions and personally stormed the arrows and stones. He climbed up to the top of the city several times, but was shot back by Liu Xi and Zhang Ren and lost hundreds of troops. Wei Yan also stopped his strong attack and only quarreled under the city every day.

In a blink of an eye, several more months passed. Liu Xun, who had returned to Chengdu, did not break his promise. He sent Zhuo Ying and Zhang Yi to Luocheng and brought 10,000 reinforcements.

Originally, Liu Zhang gathered 20,000 reinforcements. After Wu Yi retreated, he did not return to Chengdu with thousands of troops, but instead set up a second line of defense in Mianyang City.

When Liu Zhang heard that Liu Bei had added another 30,000 troops in Luocheng, he was not optimistic about Luocheng's defense, so he simply divided the reinforcements into two, leaving Wu Yi with 10,000 elite troops to guard Mianyang as the last barrier for Chengdu.

Seeing that the reinforcements of the Shu army had arrived, Zhuge Liang decided that Zhang Ren would definitely leave the city to fight, so he began to arrange the arrangements and prepare to capture Zhang Ren.

That morning, Zhuge Liang was promoted to the tent to arrange troops. He said to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan:

"There is a Golden Yan Bridge coming out of the east gate of the city. It is five or six miles south of the bridge. There are reeds and reeds on both sides, so people can be ambushed. Wei Yan can lead a thousand gunmen to lie on the left and poke the generals on the left; Huang Zhong leads a thousand swordsman to lie on the right, and chops down the horse alone, and then the enemy will be in chaos without fighting." Huang Zhong and Wei Yan took the order and left.

Zhuge Liang called Zhang Fei again:

"After General Zhang, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's ambush, Zhang Ren will come to the Shandong small road. You can lead a thousand troops there to capture Zhang Ren here."

After Zhang Fei left, Zhuge Liang called Zhao Yun and ordered:

"General Zilong led his troops to lie down north of Jinyan Bridge. When I lead Zhang Ren across the bridge, you will break the bridge, but you will be sent to the north of the bridge. You will be in a distance, so that Zhang Ren dare not look to go north and can only go south, but was stopped by Zhang Fei."

After the dispatch was decided, Zhuge Liang led two thousand troops and horses to invite the battle outside the east gate, preparing to lure the enemy.
