"Dong dong dong dong!" The war drums were beating, and Cao Wei's army was arrayed outside Fanyang City. Although after yesterday's battle, Cao Wei's army suffered heavy losses, but for an army of 100,000, it was still unable to change Cao Wei's army.
Advantages!
On the top of the city, looking at the enemy troops outside the city, Zhao Yun and others didn't look very good. I thought that yesterday's sneak attack would greatly damage the morale of the enemy troops, because it delayed the enemy's attack time, but I didn't expect that
The enemy actually launched an attack so quickly! Now the only ones that can be used in the city are the 8,000 Youzhou Army and the more than 2,000 Maobian Qingqi. The total number is only 10,000, but there are 80,000 outside the city.
A huge army! With such a huge contrast, it is almost impossible to defend Fanyang City.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yun shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone! Your lord has entrusted Youzhou to us. Now we are facing a powerful enemy. We must not let down your lord's trust. Our army must win this battle! Defend Fanyang City and repel the enemy.
military!"
"Here!" Wei Yan and Jiang Wei both cupped their fists and saluted Zhao Yun, and responded in unison. Just now, their faces were indeed a little embarrassed. Although they had fought against an army of 100,000 people yesterday, they were attacking by surprise at that time.
A sneak attack was carried out on the official road, but now they were facing the enemy's prepared formation. The atmosphere was completely different. However, what Zhao Yun just said also made Wei Yan, Jiang Wei and other generals muster up the courage. They are also passionate men.
What if you die in battle?
Next to Zhao Yun, Fazheng narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and looked at the military formation outside the city. His eyes flashed brightly from time to time, and he said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao! The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. We can't just fight head-on."
We may be able to withstand the attack of Cao Wei's army! At this point, the only way is to be smart!"
"Outwit?" What Fazheng said, Zhao Yun also understood that even passion alone could not restore the huge gap in strength between the two sides. So after hearing what Fazheng said, Zhao Yun immediately asked with interest:
"Lord Fa! How to outsmart him?"
Fazheng chuckled, glanced at Wei Yan and Jiang Wei who were also looking over, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Cao Cao has two great advisers, Xu Shu and Sima Yi, who are as resourceful as Master Xi and Master Guo next to the lord! If they two
In the army, no matter how resourceful I am, I still can't succeed! However, according to the intelligence, both Xu Shu and Sima Yi stayed in Dongjun to advise Cao Cao and did not follow the army to Youzhou! Just based on these few
A famous general, I will definitely be able to trick them into trapping you!"
Immediately, Fazheng took a few steps forward, pointed outside the city, and asked Wei Yan behind him: "General Wei, do you recognize the enemy generals?"
When Wei Yan heard Fazheng's question, he immediately stepped forward and followed Fazheng's hand. He saw two generals riding tall horses at the forefront in front of Cao Wei's army. Wei Yan narrowed his eyes.
After looking at them, he replied: "I recognize these two people. One is Wen Chou and the other is Zhang Jia! They were both fierce generals under Yuan Shao's camp back then. We met in the battle of Hangu Pass! They are both.
Very good!"
"It turns out it's the two of them!" Zhang Jia and Wen Chou are quite famous. They were already the four pillars of Hebei Province when they were under Yuan Shao's tent. Although Fazheng is only a scholar, he has also heard of them.
After hearing that Wei Yan revealed their identities, Fa Zheng's face showed a clear look, and he smiled and said: "That's the best! These two people are both long-established military commanders.
, You can’t cherish your own reputation! General Zhao! General Wei! The two of you will have to work hard next! I’ll ask you two to go out of the city to fight with two thousand swords and light cavalry later!”
"What? Go out of the city to fight? No!" When Jiang Wei heard Fazheng's suggestion, he immediately exclaimed and looked at Fazheng with wide eyes. He never expected that Fazheng, known as a think tank, would actually come up with this idea.
Such a bad idea! Even if he shouted: "Now the enemy has nearly 80,000 men and horses, and the Qingqi Cavalry only has more than 2,000 men! There is no hope of winning by defending the city, let alone going out of the city to fight? This
Don’t we want General Zhao and General Wei to die? No! Absolutely not!”
Compared with Jiang Wei's fierce reaction, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were much calmer. They had known Fazheng for a long time and knew that Fazheng was not the kind of person who would come up with bad ideas. They all watched Fazheng quietly and waited.
Following Fazheng's next explanation, Fazheng also smiled at Jiang Wei, made a calm gesture, and said: "Little General Jiang, don't be anxious! I'm letting General Zhao and General Wei go out of the city to fight, but I'm not letting them go.
They were fighting the enemy head-on! Instead, they wanted General Zhao and General Wei to challenge Zhang Jia and Wen Chou as generals! Both Zhang Jia and Wen Chou were warlike, and they were fighting in front of their subordinates.
In front of this, I absolutely can't bear to refuse the challenge of General Zhao and General Wei! So next, I have to work hard for General Zhao and General Wei to delay the battle as much as possible. If it can be delayed for a day or two, Zhuojun's
Reinforcements can arrive, and then we can hold Fan Yang for a few more days! When reinforcements from Yuyang, Youbeiping and Liaoxi arrive one after another, we will definitely be able to repel the Cao Wei army!"
After Fazheng explained this, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and Jiang Wei all understood. In the final analysis, it was because Fazheng trusted Zhao Yun's skills to defeat Zhang Jia and Wen Chou. The lord Luo Yang once said that since the death of General Huang,
, Today, the only ones who can fight with Zhao Yun are Dian Wei and Xu Chu under Xi Qin's tent, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's tent! The Lord's vision is absolutely unmistakable, so even if you open your jaw
, Wen Chou's reputation is quite big, but Fazheng also firmly believes that Zhao Yun will not lose to these two people, not to mention that there is Wei Yan to help!
Wei Yan grinned and seemed to be very satisfied with Fazheng's idea. He nodded and said with a smile: "It's just right! Yesterday I had a battle with Na Wen Chou that we didn't finish! Today I can take this opportunity to decide the outcome with them! General! You
What do you think?"
Zhao Yun also smiled, nodded and said: "I have heard about the reputation of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to fight with them! I just have this opportunity today, how can I miss it! Okay! Wen Chang, let's set off now!"
Listening to Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's heroic words, Jiang Wei who was next to him temporarily put aside his worries and became excited. He shouted to the two of them: "In this case, how can we lose the last general? General Zhao! Wei
General! Let’s count him as one of the last generals! How about the last general taking the lead?” As he said that, Jiang Wei held the spear in his hand, intending to go out of the city to fight with Zhao Yun and Wei Yan.
"Hahahaha!" Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan burst out laughing. Even Fazheng was stroking his long beard and smiling. Wei Yan slapped Jiang Wei on the head and scolded him with a smile.
Said: "You brat! You want to make your own decisions again! With your current body, do you want to go out to fight with the enemy? Just stay at the top of the city!"
After Wei Yan said this, Jiang Wei then remembered that it seemed that he was covered in injuries from the battle with Cao Hong yesterday. Although these injuries did not hurt his vitals, they were enough to affect Jiang Wei's movements, making it impossible for him to go out to fight in the city.
!Jiang Wei could only look at Zhao Yun and Wei Yan pitifully, speechless.
Seeing Jiang Wei's appearance made Zhao Yun and others laugh. The psychological haze caused by the pressure from the enemy army also dissipated a lot. After laughing, Zhao Yun immediately waved his arms.
, took his silver spear, and went down to the top of the city together with Wei Yan, who was holding a bipolar sword. At the bottom of the city, the maverick Qingqi who had just received the military order and urgently assembled were already gathering at the gate of the city. They originally thought that today would be a tough battle.
It was not their turn to go out to fight, but they were unexpectedly summoned suddenly. Although the military order was a bit hasty, the well-trained warriors were also demonstrated at this moment.
Seeing the neat military columns, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan both nodded with satisfaction, mounted their horses and came to the front of the military columns. Zhao Yun took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Open the city gate!"
Following Zhao Yun's order, the closed city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound. After the city gate was fully opened, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan clamped their legs at the same time and rode towards the outside of the city.
Go, and the sword-fighting Qingqi who followed the two of them also followed closely and poured out of the city gate.
Zhao Yun and others rushed out of the city gate, which obviously shocked the Cao Wei army outside the city. Zhang Jia and Wen Chou in front of the military formation raised their hands in unison, stopping the attack of Cao Wei's army behind them.
Moving forward, both of them looked at the sword-fighting Qingqi arrayed at the gate of the city with suspicion, not understanding what the other party was doing!
On the top of the city, seeing the actions of Cao Wei's army, Jiang Wei waved his fist vigorously and said excitedly to Fazheng beside him: "Master Fa! This method really works! It's great!" Fazheng hehehe
He smiled but didn't say much. This strategy was based on the judgment of Zhang Jia and Wen Chou's character. Fazheng was 80% sure that it would succeed.
At the gate of the city, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who had already arranged their formation, saw the enemy's actions. Although their faces did not show any change, their eyes flashed with surprise at the same time. Immediately, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan
They looked at each other, and Wei Yan took the lead and said: "General! Yesterday, the battle between Wen Chou and I was not over yet. Today, let me take the lead!"
Hearing Wei Yan's request, Zhao Yun also smiled. He really had no reason to veto Wei Yan's request. He shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of invitation to Wei Yan. Wei Yan also had a happy face and immediately rode forward to count.
He stepped forward and shouted to the Cao Wei army in front: "Wen Chou! There was no winner yesterday! Do you dare to continue fighting with me today?"
