"What?" Zhang Wei and Yang Ren were shocked. Zhang Wei kicked the soldier down and said sternly: "How is it possible? Yan Yan only has thousands of soldiers, and Yang Ang is guarding 10,000 people. How can it be possible to just lose it?"
"
"It's a real general. At dawn today, Yan Yan led more than 3,000 people to challenge. General Yang Ang thought that Yan Yan had few soldiers and went out to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of troops suddenly appeared from behind. Our army could not resist it and the battle could not be fought.
Within half an hour, the Tiandang Mountain Fortress fell into the hands of the Sichuan Army, and General Yang Ang was unfortunately killed in action."
"Oh, Yang Ang mistook me." Zhang Wei slammed his fist on the wall, hating in his heart why these generals were so greedy for merit and disobeyed military orders.
Yang Ren frowned and said: "General, general, don't blame me. The general thinks that Yang Ang is not to blame for this matter. Even the general will go to war in that situation. After all, it is a fact that Liu Zhang's army is at Baishui Pass. Yan Yan's troops are less than ten thousand, even if he goes to war
Even if the battle is defeated, it is not difficult to hold on to the key passes. The key is where those tens of thousands of troops came from."
"That's right." Zhang Wei suddenly came to his senses and said to the soldiers: "Liu Zhang's army is obviously at Baishui Pass. Where did the tens of thousands of troops come from? Could it be that Liu Zhang would spread the beans and make an army? Could it be that you waited for the key pass to be lost and used it as an excuse?
Pushing the envelope?”
Zhang Wei pulled out his sword and was about to kill the soldier. The soldier collapsed to the ground in fear. Yang Ren hurriedly stopped him and said: "General Zhang, it is useless to punish anyone now. Tiandang Mountain has been lost. We should consider where to go first."
ah."
"Alas." Zhang Wei struck the wall with his sword, causing sand and stones to fly, and asked Yang Rendao: "What good strategy does General Yang have?"
"Now that Tiandang Mountain has been lost and Baishui Pass has become an isolated city, we must retreat to Dingjun Mountain before Liu Zhang's army cuts off our food route."
"No." Zhang Wei waved his hand, paced back and forth, and thought for a moment: "My brother has entrusted me with an important task. I can't just lose the pass without knowing it. I want to turn defeat into victory."
"What do you want, general?"
They must have received news of the victory in Tiandang Mountain. The Sichuan soldiers in front of Baishui Pass dragged their exhausted bodies and retreated. They all felt like they were being pardoned. Zhang Wei pointed at the tired soldiers and said:
"General Yang, have you seen it? Those Sichuan troops are at the end of their battles. It would be a pity if we didn't kill them. Since Liu Zhang used them to contain our troops, then we have to make them pay the price. I intend to attack the camp tonight and destroy these groups.
Sichuan Army, to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
"General, no." Yang Ren urgently advised: "What if we defeat the Sichuan army in front of us? If Liu Zhang cuts off the rice warehouse road, our return route will be cut off, and the entire army may be annihilated."
Zhang Wei raised his head and said: "I don't know this truth, but has General Yang ever thought about it? How many troops are left at Jiameng Pass after Liu Zhang came out in full force? Now that Liu Zhang has won a great victory at Tiandang Mountain, all the armies must be arrogant. This general has
Thirty thousand elite troops can descend on the Sichuan Army camp in front of them, and then rush to Jiameng Pass overnight. The defender of Jiameng Pass will definitely be defenseless. This battle is 80% sure of victory. General Yang, isn't this worth the risk?
"
Yang Ren thought for a while and realized that Zhang Weizhi's words did make sense, but he still said worriedly: "General Zhang, after all, this is too risky. The general thinks that it is better to retreat to Dingjun Mountain to ensure that everything is safe."
"Dingjun Mountain is the last line of defense in Hanzhong. If we retreat to Dingjun Mountain, we will put Hanzhong in danger. If we take Jiameng Pass, surround Liu Zhang, and annihilate Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition Army, Hanzhong will be safe for ten years. If Liu Zhang is killed,
, I can take advantage of the situation and take Xichuan. To engage in troops is to take risks. I think this risk is worth taking. Since General Yang Ren is afraid, I will retreat to Dingjun Mountain with 3,000 troops and horses."
Yang Ren clasped his fists and bowed: "Since the general has made up his mind, Yang Ren should follow him."
It was night, the Sichuan army camp outside Baishui Pass was brightly lit. Wei Yan and Leng Bao were sitting across from each other drinking. Leng Bao laughed loudly: "This battle was beautiful. Mr. Fa is really a man of gods. He divided the 30,000 army into ten teams and took turns.
Attack, but the troops were transferred one by one without anyone noticing. The remaining troops continued to attack under different flags each time. The Hanzhong children in Baishui Pass thought that all the lord's army was in front of Baishui Pass, but they
I don’t know that my lord has already gone to Tiandang Mountain with more than 20,000 troops, but it is a pity that I, Leng Bao, could not participate in the battle."
"You're a foot soldier, but I'm unlucky." Wei Yan took a sip of wine and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have fought in the first battle. I killed Yang Bai, a fool, and got nothing. It turned into white water."
Guan is a familiar face, so now I can only sit here and drink."
"Hahaha." Leng Bao laughed a few times: "General Wei, don't be angry. With the talent of a general, he will lead one side sooner or later. When the defenders of Baishui Pass retreat, we will beat up the drowned dogs, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make achievements."
"Yes, drink."
"drink."
The two of them were drinking happily, when suddenly a sentry broke into the tent and said in panic: "Oh no, two generals, we saw the defenders of Baishui Pass coming out in full force and rushing towards our camp. We are now less than five miles away."
"What?" Wei Yan slapped the table and stood up: "Zhang Wei is crazy. Isn't he afraid that his return route will be cut off and his entire army will be wiped out?"
"This is unreasonable." Leng Bao also stood up and said bitterly: "Fortunately, General Wei had the foresight to set up a detection sentry regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers. I have already lost the battle. If I lose the camp again this time, I will not be able to face the lord.
, I’m going to fight Zhang Wei right now.”
"Wait a minute." Wei Yan called Leng Bao back. Although Wei Yan was arrogant, he was not lacking in brains. He instantly analyzed the power and frowned: "Our army has seven thousand tired soldiers, and Zhang Wei has nearly thirty thousand strong soldiers.
It is several times larger than our army. Moreover, our army has been besieging the city for several days and is extremely exhausted. If we fight hard, our entire army will be annihilated."
"General Wei, do you mean we retreat?"
"It's even worse. Doesn't General Leng know where our rear is? Jiameng Pass, we are all drinking here, how can Yang Huai of Jiameng Pass be on guard? If Jiameng Pass is lost, I will die without mercy."
"Then what should we do? According to what General Wei said, we have no way to fight and no way to retreat. We have reached a dead end."
Wei Yan thought for a moment, suddenly raised his thick eyebrows, made up his mind, walked to the door of the military tent with a bowl of wine, and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army must assemble. Anyone who has not gotten up after drinking this bowl of wine will be killed immediately by his companions."
Of."
Wei Yan drank sip after sip, and the tired sergeant quickly climbed out of the military tent. His armor was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and he was all tired. Wei Yan smashed the bowl to pieces and loudly said: "Bring all the drums and gongs in the camp, the whole army
Follow me. The camp torches must not be extinguished, the horses must remain in the camp, and no one is allowed to make a sound. Anyone who violates this will be killed."
Wei Yan raised his sword and stepped out of the camp. Leng Bao hurriedly caught up and said, "General Wei, are you going to abandon the camp?"
"Anyway, if you can't hold on, what will you do if you don't give up?"
Wei Yan led his army out of the camp and escaped into the nearby mountains and forests. Leng Bao only thought that Wei Yan was going to retreat into Jiameng Pass, but he did not expect that Wei Yan went east along the jungle and ambush in the mountains on the bank of Bailong River. In the middle, he and Zhang Wei
The army passed by.
"The whole army rests. When I call for kill later, the whole army must fight with all their strength. It's just a matter of one blow. If anyone pretends to be a bear, I will kill him immediately."
"General Wei, what are you doing?" Leng Bao was surprised by Wei Yan's behavior.
Wei Yan let out a heavy breath: "General Leng, it's up to us tonight. If we win a big victory, we will become famous all over the world. If we lose, we will be shattered to pieces. Don't worry."
"What's so scary, it's just..." Leng Bao still didn't know what Wei Yan was going to do, and couldn't see any signs of becoming famous in the world.
