"That's nonsense. Jiangyou is hundreds of miles away from the front line of Jiange. How can there be soldiers and horses coming to kill you?" Under questioning, Wu Yi shouted sharply.
"How dare you talk nonsense? The Qi army has indeed fought outside the city and is about to enter the city." The Pro-Military Committee dared to say.
"Could it be that¡¡"
Wu Yi's thoughts were racing, and he seemed to have thought of something. Instead of thinking too much, he left the house with suspicion in his heart and rode straight to the north gate of the city.
Climbing to the top of the city and looking into the distance, Wu Yi's suspicious face suddenly changed, with such a horrified expression, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
"QiQi Jun!" Wu Yi blurted out and screamed
But looking to the north, dust and mist were rising, and countless soldiers and horses were rushing toward them like a tide.
In the dust and mist, the flag of the Qi army was flying proudly.
Qi Jun! It¡¯s really Qi Jun!
"The Qi army was able to cross the front line of Jiange and suddenly appear here. Could it be that Yuan Fang actually sent troops to sneak across the Yinping Trail?"
Finally, Wu Yi figured out the reason and couldn't help but feel horrified.
Wu Yi, a native of Shu, knew very well how difficult and dangerous the seven-hundred-mile Yinping Road was. He never expected that Yuan Fang would have such courage to come up with such a dangerous plan.
"This Prince Qi's courage is too too"
Wu Yi was shocked and stunned, his mind was blank, and he could not find the right words to describe his surprise and shock to Yuan Fang.
At this time, there were thousands of Qi troops. Already approaching the north gate, the defenders at the top of the city. The Qi army was frightened by the sudden appearance and became a mess.
Wu Yi could only suppress his shock, scolded the frightened soldiers, closed the city gate, pulled up the drawbridge, and sent Pegasus to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the other three gates, and all came to the north gate for reinforcements.
But, it¡¯s too late.
Outside the city. Wei Yanzheng led the tiger and wolf men and ran wildly on foot.
Twenty thousand "ragged" soldiers of the Qi army rushed towards them like hungry wild beasts.
In the blink of an eye, the Qi army rushed to the city.
At this time, the suspension bridge has been closed and the city gate has been closed. The defenders in the city were firing arrows hastily, but they could not resist the powerful Qi army.
The Qi troops who rushed to the city each wrapped a bag of sand in their clothes. When they rushed to the city, they all threw the bags of sand under the city wall. In a short time, they threw the bags of sand under the city wall. Several hills were piled up until they reached Jiangyou City, whose city wall was not very high.
¡°Brothers, go to the city and capture Jiangyou City for me¡ª¡ª¡± Young Wei Yan waved the sword in his hand. Climbed the earth mountain first.
Cao Jun on the top of the city fired arrows in a hurry, trying to block the Qi army climbing up.
Wei Yan is as fierce as a tiger. Flying forward, the sword in his hand danced into layers of iron curtains, clanking to block the incoming arrows, and in a moment he had climbed to the top of the city.
At the battlements, two enemy soldiers slashed at Wei Yan with their swords, and struck at Wei Yan's waist.
Wei Yan shouted loudly, and his sword swept out like a stream of light, attacking on both sides.
But two screams were heard, and the two enemy soldiers were stabbed to the ground with blood splattering.
Wei Yan jumped up, shouted, and stepped onto the top of Yinping City.
Wei Yan, who had reached the top of the city, opened his sword to the left and right, and unleashed his martial arts skills in the late stage of bone forging. His power was unstoppable, forcing the surrounding enemy soldiers to retreat in all directions, not daring to come near.
Not far away, Wu Yi saw that the city had been breached, and subconsciously prepared to lead his army to make up for it, to stop the killing Qi General.
The moment before he started, Wu Yi stopped, his brows deep and hesitation flashing in his eyes.
"The Qi army is powerful and has broken through the city. How can I stop it with only a thousand soldiers and horses? That fellow Cao Cao took my sister, which is a real humiliation to me, Wu Yi. How can I swallow this tone? Go down"
In his eyes, traces of hatred burned wildly.
The decision has been made!
Wu Yi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers in Jiangyou City, please listen to me and immediately give up resistance and submit to King Qi. We will not fight this battle. Please put down your weapons."
With a loud shout, Wu Yi immediately threw the knife in his hand to the ground.
Those frightened Shu soldiers were not direct descendants of Cao Cao in the first place. It was only because of Liu Zhang's surrender that they followed Wu Yi and surrendered to Cao Cao.
Now that Wu Yi has defected before the battle and is determined to surrender to Qi, how can they have any objections? Of course they will follow Wu Yi to surrender.
There were clanging sounds one after another, and the Shu soldiers, who were already panicking, dropped their weapons one after another and fell to the ground to ask for surrender.
Under the chain reaction, more than a thousand soldiers along the city gave up their resistance and surrendered unanimously.
Wei Yan, who was in the process of killing himself, was a little surprised when he suddenly saw the enemy soldiers discarding their weapons and surrendering.
At this time, Wu Yi, who was empty-handed, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Wu Yi, the general of Jiangyou, is willing to lead a thousand troops and horses to surrender to Da Qi in Jiangyou City."
Looking at Wu Yi, who was kneeling on one knee, and the Shu soldiers kneeling everywhere, Wei Yan was confused for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty, I succeeded. I, Wei Yan, succeeded, haha¡ª¡ª"
Excited and wild laughter rushed up to Yunxiao.
Before the last ray of the setting sun disappeared, the bloody flag with the word "Qi" was already flying high in the sky over Jiangyou City.
¡¡
Jianmenguan.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was having a drink with various civil and military officials, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Not long ago, Cao Cao used Sima Yi's plan to mobilize Xichuan's troops northward. Now, the number of troops gathered on the front line of Jianmen Pass has reached 80,000.
With the help of these 80,000 Jingyi troops and the natural danger of the Jiange Pavilion, Cao Cao easily repelled several waves of Yuan Fang's attacks.
Since the defeat in the battle of Jiameng Pass, Yuan Fang's attacks have been continuously defeated, and his frustrated morale has gradually improved. It's strange that Cao Cao's interest is not high.
"My lord, with an army of 80,000, plus the natural danger of Jianmen, even if Yuan Fang has millions of soldiers, he will never be able to break through our city. When his division has to retreat under the old city, if we take advantage of the victory to pursue it, we will definitely be defeated." His army might be able to take advantage of the victory to capture Hanzhong, or even advance into Guanzhong."
Sima Yi spoke eloquently and outlined a bright future for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao laughed, and all the generals in the tent also laughed. The atmosphere was relaxed and high-spirited.
At this moment, the curtain was lifted. A scout hurriedly stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, urgent report from the rear, Jiangyou City has been captured by the Qi army in a sneak attack."
"What!" The relief and pride on Cao Cao's face fell apart in an instant.
In the big tent, Sima Yi and other civil and military personnel also showed signs of change.
Jiangyou, lost! ?
Cao Cao¡¯s gaze. He quickly scanned the map and found the location of Jiangyou City.
Staring at that remote point on the map, a big question mark suddenly flashed in Cao Cao's mind.
Even though he was as resourceful as he was, he still couldn't believe how Yuan Fang's army crossed his Jianmenguan defense line and attacked Jiangyou City in the rear like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
Not only Cao Cao, but also great wise men such as Sima Yi and Pang Tong could not figure it out for a moment.
"How can that boy Yuan Fang attack our Jiangyou City? How is this possible?" Cao Cao asked in shock as he woke up from the shock.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Everyone is at a loss.
At this time, Pang Tong's eyes moved, and he frowned and said: "My Lord, Yuan Fang must have sneaked across the 700-mile Yinping Trail, so he suddenly appeared in Jiangyou City. The guard Wu Yi was killed by surprise, so Jiangyou was lost."
Sneaking across the Yinping Trail?
There is also a trail in Yinping. Can it pass through Shuzhong?
Cao Cao was shocked and confused. Suddenly, he realized that he had made a huge mistake. He had underestimated the complex terrain in Shu and did not fully understand it.
And it was this moment of underestimation that allowed Yuan to seize the opportunity and take advantage of the loophole.
"Quick, go and invite Zhang Yongnian." Cao Cao shouted.
Zhang Yongnian was Zhang Song and was originally Liu Zhang's important minister. When Cao Cao's troops surrounded Chengdu, it was because of Zhang Song that he surrendered the city and was able to break through Chengdu quickly.
It¡¯s just that this Zhang Song is ugly and arrogant. In front of Cao Cao, he is quite arrogant.
Because of this, Cao Cao didn't like this person, so he didn't invite him to the banquet held in the army.
But now, Cao Cao had to call Zhang Song, because the fall of Jiangyou made him realize that he was in urgent need of a wise man who was familiar with the terrain of Yizhou. Zhang Song, who had lived in Shu for a long time and was in a high position, was the only choice. .
Not long after, Zhang Song hurried in and greeted him.
"Zhang Yongnian, let me ask you, do you know there is a Yinping trail that can bypass Jianmen and go straight to Jiangyou?" Cao Cao asked impatiently.
"There is indeed such a trail, which can bypass the Jiangge natural barrier from Yinping County and go straight to Jiangyou City. However, the terrain of this 700-mile trail is extremely dangerous, and there is also a skyscraper ridge that is difficult for birds to cross. Usually only some mountain people will occasionally walk it. That¡¯s all.¡±
After listening to Zhang Song's answer, Cao Cao was convinced at this time. There was anger in his eyebrows.? and anguish surged like waves.
"Even if Yuan Fang uses this trick, his army will be exhausted after sneaking across Yinping. How could Wu Yi lose Jiangyou so easily?" Cao Cao said dissatisfied.
"My lord, when the Qi army reached the gates of Jiangyou City, Wu Yi only put up a slight resistance and then led his army to surrender."
Hearing the scout's words, Cao Cao's face was startled again. In an instant, his scorched face was filled with endless anger, and he cursed: "What a Wu Yi, how dare you betray me!"
Pang Tong opened his mouth and wanted to say, Wu Yi's betrayal was probably because my lord, you robbed someone else's girl and humiliated Wu Yi, so he forced him to surrender.
When the words came to his lips, Pang Tong swallowed them again and sighed: "The matter has come to this, and there is no point in getting angry. My lord, without further ado, please lord immediately draw out the soldiers of Jiange and go to take back Jiangyou, otherwise you will be killed by the enemy." If we go straight to Chengdu, the situation will be irreversible.¡±
"Hateful!" Cao Cao slammed his fist on the table, his face full of regret and anger.
¡¡
North of Jianmen Pass, the atmosphere at the Qi Army camp was already boiling.
The news that Wei Yan successfully crossed to Yinping and Cao Cao was forced to send troops to the south for reinforcements has already spread to Guanzhong.
There was a fire in the enemy's backyard. This news was enough to cheer up the entire army.
In the big tent, all the civil and military officials were excited and full of praise for Wei Yan.
"They looked at Wei Yan with admiration, but also admired Yuan Fang, his ability to recognize people and his courage in employing people.
Everyone was sighing secretly. If it were them, they would not have the courage to use a young general like Wei Yan to complete such a dangerous plan.
"The fall of Jiangyou has shaken people's hearts in Cao's camp, and half of the troops have been depleted. Your Majesty, it's time for us to take action." Fa Zheng said with enthusiasm.
Yuan Fang was silent, but the murderous aura in his eyes was burning like fire.
Hearing Fazheng¡¯s words, he stood up excitedly, looked around the generals, and said boldly: ¡°Pass the order, starting from tomorrow, all the armies will take turns attacking Jiange. I will make Cao Cao uneasy all night long!¡±
