Chapter 1495 Who Sets Whose Trap


    The night slowly shrouded, and from time to time, some birds and beasts that preyed at night in the four fields began to sing, firstly to disturb the prey, so that they could find the target, and secondly, to declare their sovereignty to the surrounding neighbors, Ge Laozi hunted here , other guys should not come over.


    Even birds and beasts have a strong sense of territory, and humans are no exception.


    Wulijian, not just Wulijian, the whole of Sichuan and Shu is not considered too big a place, it really can’t accommodate so many people, therefore, the competition for territory is naturally inevitable...


    In this era, even though the army is known as an army of one hundred thousand and one million at every turn, even the Hu people have learned this trick now, and they always declare how many troops they have. It is overwhelming, think about the first-year military training in various universities, three or four thousand people basically occupy the entire playground, if multiplied by two or three times, or even ten times, let an ordinary person who can''t even count his fingers and toes People in the Han Dynasty, let alone 100,000 to 100,000, just said 10,000,000, still believed it.


    Because there is no concept at all...


    In Sichuan and Sichuan, among the mountainous areas, it is basically a joke to claim one hundred thousand million at every turn, except for the original intention to scare people, otherwise the two sides will really dispatch tens of thousands of people in a decisive battle, and the graphics card will definitely explode Oh...cough cough, the valley must be overcrowded...


    There are many mountains in Sichuan and Shu. If it is really that big, there must be no place for one mountain, and then the troops will be divided into several parts, with some hills on this side and valleys on that side?


    So normally speaking, the number of people fighting in mountainous areas is at the level of a thousand, with a maximum of three or four thousand people, and no amount of formation will be possible.


    Liu Bei claimed to have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then claimed to have 10,000 soldiers here in Wulijian, but in fact it was just over 2,000, and there were 1,000 flying cats in the mountains. Although there were not many of them, most of these soldiers were recruited and trained by Liu Bei when he was in Xinye. It''s not too much for a junior elite.


    In this era, these elites are basically responsible for the most important combat missions. They are used as assault forces in field battles, and can be used as dead soldiers when attacking fortifications. They are well paid and well equipped.


    The rest of the troops are generally responsible for auxiliary tasks such as garrison, vigilance, patrol, and maintenance of food roads. In field battles, their role is to maintain the front line, maintain formation, and cover the flanks, so that these elite soldiers You can launch a decisive impact without any worries.


    Not to mention the Han Dynasty, even in the Tang and Song dynasties with relatively developed economies, there was no way to prepare hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the same time for a long time, and then let these hundreds of thousands of soldiers go off-duty to receive high-intensity training and become an independent country. Supporting professional soldiers, because this is really a waste of material and money, and the civil and military disputes in the past dynasties are often disputes over money.


    So how to make better use of elite soldiers, effectively attack the opponent, increase the opponent''s losses while reducing their own casualties, has become a problem that the generals in charge of the soldiers in Sichuan and Shu must face.


    Zhang Fei was tightly wrapped in a cloak, sitting next to a bonfire, looking at a bird that had been scorched in his hand...


    I was distracted just now, but I didn''t notice that it was scorched for a while.


    The guard next to him couldn''t help laughing.


    Zhang Fei glanced across, snorted, and opened his mouth to bite without fussing too much. The bird was not big, and Zhang Fei didn''t even spit out the bones, he crunched and swallowed them all. Nesting in the mountains these days, it is not bad to have a mouthful of hot soup and some blood food, who has the leisure time to twitch and chew slowly?


    Although Wulijian is not too long, it is not a five-mile road to go around. In addition, it is a mountainous area, with ups and downs and circling. In addition, you have to stop from time to time for the guide to identify the direction. The speed of the entire journey I can''t get up soon either.


    In Wulijian’s West Conquest camp, the scouts who set out earlier have already detected and understood that Guan Yu has been sending people to harass these days, not only to put pressure on the soldiers who conquered the West, but also to exhaust the soldiers who conquered the West. Attract the attention of Zhengxi''s men and horses in this part of Wulijian, so that Zhang Fei can have more opportunities.


    If you fight head-on, the consumption will be high.


    Although the Wuli Jiankou is relatively spacious, there is only one exit after all, and the unfolding area is at most less than a thousand people. If the conscripted soldiers form an arc outside the mouth...


    So Guan Yu just led people to keep pulling, and the forced general Zhengxi of Wulijian had to line up at Jiankou every day to prevent the camp from being attacked. Come on, General Zhengxi''s establishment of the stronghold was naturally delayed.


    And Zhang Fei was the one who broke the deadlock.


    Zhang Fei gnawed down the scorched bird, ate another black and yellow pancake, took a water sac and gulped down half of it. Then he felt a little full in his stomach, so he called the guide and asked about the details carefully. Then he sent an order: "Rest early today! Cook at Yin time tomorrow, and leave at Mao time!"


    The soldiers responded one after another, but Zhang Fei looked at the bonfire, and there seemed to be some flames dancing and flickering in his eyes. After two more hills, he would be gone, and tomorrow will be the critical moment of victory or defeat!


    ………………


    Wei Yan angrily threw the helmet aside.


    Today I basically stood on guard for another day.


    In these days, if Xu Shu had not issued an order, Wei Yan would have led his soldiers into Wulijian long ago!


    Every day, seeing the narrow-eyed and long-bearded guy on the opposite side showing off his might, Wei Yan didn''t know why, but felt disgusted in his heart. Anyway, he didn''t like it anyway, so he wanted to chop him up early and chop off the bearded head.


    Following Wei Yan''s guards, he was also suffocated,


    "General," the guard brought a water bag to Wei Yan, and said, "The camp is delayed every day, and this is not the answer..."


    Wei Yan took the water bag, gulped it down, threw it to the guards, leaned back on the pillars of the camp, straightened his legs, and sighed comfortably, "Ha... don''t worry, count the time, It''s almost time to come..."


    The guard took the water bag and was taken aback when he heard the words, "General, what do you mean..."


    "I don''t mean anything," Wei Yan stared, and said, "Give the order to my brothers quietly. If you don''t want to die, you should tighten your skin. Don''t be ignorant of someone stealing the camp in the middle of the night! Others...don''t worry about them ..."


    Although in this kind of terrain, as long as the guard post on the top of the hill is guarded, the probability of being attacked will be greatly reduced, but Wei Yan has to guard against it. After all, Wei Yan knows that his team is the bait, and the Jingzhou army is the most attractive. Delicious, of course, is part of the original Guanghan soldiers who were separated from Zhao Wei.


    This part was originally intended to be discarded...


    After all, Zhao Wei is still part of the alliance now. If Zhao Wei keeps too many soldiers, it will not be conducive to the stability in Guanghan. Zhao Wei is also well aware of this, so cutting it out and bringing it to Wei Yan is also a good idea. They are all old, weak and remnant soldiers, and these people naturally became the targets of sacrifice.


    The guard understood, and turned around to deliver the order. Whether it is ancient or modern, the weak will always be the first to be abandoned. If you want not to be abandoned, begging and crying is useless. You can only continue to become stronger, so strong that others have to pay attention.


    Wei Yan also waited for such an opportunity.


    Soon after dawn, Guan Yu led his troops back again. Anyway, it was less than five miles away, and it was not too much trouble to go back and forth every day. When the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhang Fei led his troops and rushed from Wei Yan''s flank. Come out, while outflanking Wei Yan''s back road, while killing and rushing over!


    "Little thief! Take your life!"


    Zhang Fei chattered, the trembling valley buzzed, and he came to fetch Wei Yan with his long spear. More than a dozen Zhao Wei Guanghan soldiers who were originally on the flanks were immediately swept away by Zhang Fei!


    Seeing such a situation, Wei Yan''s pupils shrank involuntarily!


    Although Wei Yan and the others were prepared, Zhang Fei was so brave, which greatly exceeded Wei Yan''s expectations. Watching Zhang Fei''s strange-shaped long spear flying up and down, not only was it fierce and invincible, but Wei Yan could also see that Zhang Fei''s subordinates still had some strength, and could act at any time according to changes in the battlefield situation. Out of adjustments...


    "Let''s go!" Wei Yan immediately turned around and withdrew with his soldiers without saying a word. Guan Yu was hacking and killing at the mouth of Wulijian, and was blocked by Zhao Wei''s soldiers, so he couldn''t get out for a while, but if Wei Yan hesitated a little, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attacked together, and he would definitely not get any benefits.


    "Where are you going!"


    Guan Yu was blocked by the crowd, and hadn''t seen Wei Yan''s movement at the rear, but Zhang Fei, who rushed out from the flank, could see clearly, and hurriedly yelled and carried a long spear to intercept him.


    The Zhao Wei Guanghan soldiers on the flank heard Zhang Fei''s yell, and then saw Wei Yan''s retreat. Their morale was shaken and their hearts were shaken. They also turned around and ran away one after another. It was directly aimed at Wei Yan.


    Wei Yan frowned slightly, and said to a military lord beside him: "Take your brother and go forward, and someone will stop this guy for a while!" After finishing speaking, he took his guard diagonally and went to intercept Zhang Fei.


    "Whoa! Good job!"


    The noise of the battlefield still couldn''t cover up Zhang Fei''s loud voice. When Zhang Fei saw Wei Yan coming up to meet him, he smiled strangely and rushed forward a few steps, then stabbed Wei Yan in the chest!


    Although Zhang Fei''s lance was moving towards Wei Yan''s chest, and looked sharp, the lance actually trembled slightly, and his back hand still had three points of strength, ready to change at any time due to Wei Yan''s reaction, but he could move up and down. It can be adjusted, and it can even be changed to pumping and smashing, there are so many changes!


    Wei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared closely at the approach of Zhang Fei''s strange-shaped long spear. When he saw Zhang Fei''s hands and arms changed from bending to straightening, he suddenly turned around and swung the long knife obliquely from bottom to top. come out!


    Because of the center of gravity, the center of gravity of the long knife is relatively forward compared to the long lance. Even Zhang Fei''s elongated and twisted snake-like long lance is somewhat different, but compared with the long knife, it still suffers in terms of weight. some. The long knife that Wei Yan threw out by twisting his waist not only had his own strength, but also the strength of the long knife''s own weight. On the pole!


    If it was an ordinary wooden pole, under this blow, the sawdust would have been flying horizontally, breaking into two pieces, and if it was an ordinary person, most of them would just hold on to the wooden pole tightly, and then because the pinch was too tight, it could not be said that they would not be able to fight. Under the huge shock of the blade impact, even the jaws of the hands would be shattered!


    Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, almost at the moment when the weapons of the two sides collided, they both released for a moment, and after dissolving the first wave of impact force, they re-clamped the weapons and adjusted the control, almost at the same time. , with a knife and a lance, they hit another place, making a louder impact sound than before, sparks splashed in all directions, the figures of both sides couldn''t help but tossed back, half a step back!


    "Wow Ka Ka Ka Ka! Come on! Come again!" Zhang Fei yelled strangely, shaking his numb arms, not angry but happy, shouting to invite a fight, and stabbing again after holding out a long spear.


    By taking advantage of the momentum, Wei Yan withdrew his long knife, took a step back, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Shoot!"


    Wei Yan gave an order, and a few guards behind him rushed forward from behind the shield, raised the crossbow that had just been wound up, and didn''t have time to aim, and roughly pointed at Zhang Fei and buckled the hanging knife!


    Before meeting Zhang Fei, Wei Yan ordered a few guards to prepare a crossbow. At this time, he suddenly used this move, and immediately killed Zhang Fei by surprise!


    Zhang Fei let out an "Aow", his hair stood on end. At this moment, it was too late to find something to block, and Zhang Fei was charging forward with his long spear, and he didn''t have time to wave the long spear to make a call. Seeing Zhang Fei pressing down with both hands suddenly, like a pole vault, Ma Qian hit the ground and took advantage of the momentum to fly into the air!


    Seven or eight crossbow bolts screamed and passed under Zhang Fei''s feet, and immediately shot down several guards who rushed over after Zhang Fei.


    "Strong crossbow!"


    "Be careful!"


    "Three generals!"


    Zhang Fei''s guards rushed up and covered Zhang Fei with their shields.


    In front of a strong crossbow at such a distance, all living beings are really equal. If you are accidentally shot, even with armor protection, it is basically an extra transparent hole!


    "It''s a pity..." Wei Yan glanced at Guan Yu who was killing him, pointed Zhang Fei with his finger, then turned around and left, "Quick! Let''s retreat!"


    "Wow!" Zhang Fei pushed away the shield-wielding guards in front of him, and shouted furiously, "You **** who stabs people in the back! Don''t leave if you have the guts!" Wei Yan''s demeanor that counts on your life is completely irritated After leaving Zhang Fei, he immediately followed Wei Yan with his soldiers without hesitation, chasing him all the way...
