Yan Liang's words had a profound meaning. Pang De was stunned and found it difficult to understand them for a moment.
"Come here, I'll teach you when I have the opportunity." Yan Liangying's face lit up with a strange light.
Pang De was suspicious and approached him. Yan Liang then told Pang De his true intention in an unhurried manner.
After hearing this, Pang De couldn't help showing a look of sudden realization, and said in surprise: "It turns out that Your Majesty actually has such a clever plan. I understand. I will live up to Your Majesty's trust when I go here."
"Without further delay, let's set off as soon as possible. I'm here waiting for your good news." Yan Liang laughed and waved his hand.
"I beg you to retire." Pang De then stood up and walked out excitedly with the secret plan given by Yan Liang.
After receiving the Tiger Talisman, Pang De selected 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, left the Wandu Camp that day, and rushed towards Lelang County in the south.
…
Lelang County, Luofang City.
On top of the city, the battle flag of "General Han" was flying in the wind.
Zhang Fei stood proudly on the top of the city with a snake spear eight feet in hand, his dark face filled with ferocious pride.
Since Wonsan Castle landed on the Korean Peninsula, Zhang Fei has led his 30,000-strong army and marched westwards. He has been invincible along the way.
This Loufang City is located in the middle of Lelang County. After passing this county and going west, within two hundred miles, you will enter the most prosperous western counties of Lelang County, where the county government and the city are located.
Once the city is captured, the entire Lelang County will surrender under Zhang Fei's iron hoof.
Since escaping to Yingzhou on the Japanese island, Zhang Fei has been thinking about counterattacking the mainland all the time. Now, after many years, his dream has finally become a reality.
Zhang Fei felt so happy riding on the land of the mainland. Only this land could give him a sense of belonging.
"General, a thousand Chu soldiers in the hollow city have all been annihilated." General Fan Jiang went to the city to report.
"General, the three thousand people in the city have already set off and have been escorted to Yuanshan City and transported by sea to Yingzhou." General Zhang Da followed suit and reported.
Zhang Fei nodded slightly. He was very satisfied and said loudly: "Just do it like this. Kill all the Chu soldiers. All the people along the way, regardless of men, women, old and young, will be transported back to Yingzhou."
Although Zhang Fei was thinking about counterattacking the mainland, he was very sober at the moment.
He knew the strength of the Chu State very well, and now he was able to march straight in, just because Yan Liang did not take him seriously and did not guard against him at all, so there were not many troops stationed in Lelang County.
If Yan Liang heard about his invasion of Lelang, it would not take long for the army to come and fight Yan Liang's superior force head-on. Zhang Fei was not confident.
During the time of the Han Dynasty, when the strength of his army was not far behind that of the Chu army, he was still unmatched by the enemy, let alone the great Chu army that dominates the world today.
Therefore, Zhang Fei's purpose of landing at Lelang this time was just to force Yan Liang's army to go south and relieve Liu Bei's pressure in Wandu.
When the Chu army came, it was the day he retreated. As soon as the Chu army left, he would lead his army to land again, causing the Chu army to be devastated.
Therefore, every time a city fell, Zhang Fei had to transport all the precious Dingkou resources to the Japanese island.
Although Zhang Fei was respected as Susanoo by the Japanese, he looked down on those ignorant Japanese from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, one Chinese Dingkou was as useful as ten Japanese.
"General, what should we do now?" Zhang Da asked.
Zhang Fei pointed his snake spear to the west and said sternly: "Give me the order. The whole army will come out tomorrow and rush towards the city to kill me."
"General, aren't there any soldiers left in this hollow city?" Fan Jiang said.
"It is enough to leave five hundred troops and horses. If the Chu thieves come to help, they will certainly come from Mazi River in the northwest. There is no Chu army in the east, so there is no need to leave too many soldiers and horses. I will concentrate my strength. If I can grab
Before the Chu army arrives, it would be best to capture the city." Zhang Fei said confidently.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, the two generals, did not say anything more and were busy conveying Zhang Fei's orders.
Zhang Fei looked arrogantly to the northwest and sneered: "Yan thief, Yan thief, back then you forced me to go east across the sea and escape to the Japanese island. Today, I, Zhang Fei, finally came back, and I will kill you until you are exhausted, haha~~"
Zhang Fei laughed wildly in the wind, laughing so heartily.
So, Zhang Fei and his 30,000 troops rested in the square city for a night. As soon as it became dark the next day, all the troops went out and rushed toward the city in a mighty manner.
When Zhang Fei was heading towards Chaocheng, to the north, ten thousand Chu troops commanded by Pang De were also rushing towards Lelang County without stopping.
In the deep mountains and old forests, an army of more than 10,000 people was moving forward with difficulty.
Pound was good at commanding cavalry, but most of the troops he commanded this time were infantry. His marching route did not go down the Mazi River, but instead went over the Gaima Mountain southeast of Wandu.
There is a trail in this mountain that connects the north and the south. Even Pound, who has been in Liaodong for a long time, has only heard about it a little bit, and other generals have never heard of it.
Even so, Pound could only successfully find the mountain trail under the guidance of an indigenous guide.
For five days, for five consecutive days, Pound and his 10,000 troops trudged forward in the heavy snow.
That morning, Pound climbed up the last hillside and looked around, seeing that the terrain ahead was vast.
"Damn it, after five days of groping in the ravine, I finally got out." Pang De wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tired face full of relief.
The famous soldiers were all excited and uncontrollably, with murderous intent surging on their tired faces.
"Brothers, follow me and go out of the mountain to give Zhang Fei and his Japanese troops some color." Pang De shouted, got on his horse, and headed down the hillside.
More than ten thousand soldiers cheered up and followed Pang De.
This large army from the south successfully entered Lelang County and followed the instructions given by Yan Liang to kill Zhang Fei and the Japanese army.
At this time, hundreds of miles away, Zhang Fei, leading his 30,000 troops, was besieging the capital of Lelang County.
Zhang Fei's army swept Lelang all the way, but his army besieged Chaocheng for five days without stopping, and finally hit the iron plate.
The governor of Lelang County has concentrated all the 2,000 regular troops and more than 3,000 county soldiers in Chaocheng, hoping to use all the power of the county to secure the county.
Zhang Fei came from afar and had no large-scale siege equipment. He tried to defeat the imperial city with 30,000 troops. Naturally, it was not that easy.
Zhang Fei was not in a hurry. While besieging the city, he divided his troops to plunder Lelang counties. He sent the looted population continuously to Yuancheng on the east coast, and then transported it to Yingzhou by sea from Yuancheng.
In this landing battle, Zhang Fei's original intention was to encircle Wei, rescue Zhao, relieve Liu Bei, and take the opportunity to plunder the population. As for whether he could capture the imperial city, that was secondary.
Japanese army, Chinese army tent.
"Yan Thief, if you don't send troops, I will loot your Lelang County." Zhang Fei looked at the reports of people plundering, his dark face filled with a bit of pride.
Just when he was feeling proud, his general Zhang Da hurried in and shouted in a panic: "General, something bad has happened. The scouts have discovered the Chu army."
The Chu army finally arrived.
Instead of being alarmed, Zhang Fei was overjoyed and said disapprovingly: "It's coming, so there's nothing to panic about. Isn't this all within my expectation?"
"No, the Chu army did not come from the direction of Ma Zi River in the northwest, but crossed the Gaima Mountain in the southeast and went directly to attack Luofang City!" Zhang Da shouted in panic.
"What!" Zhang Fei jumped up, his expression suddenly changed
Zhang Fei's face was filled with all the pride. He threw himself at the map in shock and glanced up and down for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more distorted his expression became, and the more he looked at it, the more horrified he became.
Suddenly, Zhang Fei suddenly realized.
It turned out that Yan Liang had long seen through his intention to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but he deliberately did not come from Ma Zishui Avenue. Instead, he took him by surprise and sent a light army to sneak across Gaima Mountain and penetrate his flank and rear.
From Chaocheng on the west coast to Yuanshan on the east coast, they must pass through the city of Luofang. If the Chu army attacks Luofang City, it will cut off their return route. Zhang Fei and his 30,000 troops will be defeated by Chu.
The military pass is in the interior.
Yan Liang's strategy was not only to break Lelang's siege, but also to destroy Zhang Fei in one fell swoop.
"Yan Thief is so cruel, he is going to kill me." Zhang Fei shouted in shock and anger.
When it comes to martial arts, maybe Zhang Fei can compete with Yan Liang. When it comes to strategy, Zhang Fei was left behind by Yan Liang for a long time, so what's the surprise now that he fell into Yan Liang's scheme.
"General, there are only 500 soldiers and horses in Luofang City. If the Chu army reaches them, they may not be able to defend it. What should we do now?" Zhang Da shouted nervously.
Snap!
Zhang Fei slapped Zhang Da hard on the face with his backhand. He stared angrily and cursed: "You are such a waste, why don't you advise me to leave more troops in Luofang City?"
."
"General, I have persuaded you. It was the general who said that the Chu army would only come from the direction of Ma Zi River, so he insisted on leaving only 500 troops and horses in Luofang City. This is not the fault of the general."
Zhang Da covered his face and argued aggrievedly.
When he made such an excuse, Zhang Fei became furious and cursed angrily: "You're a piece of trash, you still dare to argue, come here, I will drag him out and beat him with thirty military sticks."
When Zhang Da heard this, he felt aggrieved and frightened, and begged Zhang Fei for mercy.
Zhang Fei was indifferent and ruthlessly asked the sergeants to drag Zhang Da out and beat him with thirty army sticks in vain.
At this time, Fan Jiang also came over after hearing the news, and cautiously advised: "General, if the city of Luofang is lost, our army will be cut off from its return route. In the end, if the general knows that, at this point, we will besiege the city again."
Going down is no longer an option, so we should quickly return our troops to rescue Luofang City."
Zhang Fei was shocked again, his anger subsided, and his mood calmed down a bit.
"Hmph, I don't know how important the Carved City is, and I don't need your teaching." Zhang Fei rolled his eyes at Fan Jiang.
Fan Jiang was frightened and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Zhang Fei picked up the snake spear and said sternly: "Send an order to the whole army to withdraw from the camp quickly, and follow this general to kill and return to Luofang City." (To be continued...)
