Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1349 Advance and retreat

  In the cottage, as the last scream fell, calm gradually returned. Of course, it was only a general calm.

  Yan Yan looked at Liu Dan and other soldiers who were fleeing far away, showing a cruel smile.

   A bunch of ignorant idiots!

  Yan Yan just sent people to follow behind to drive them away, and then retreated when it got dark. There was no intention of killing them all, because many children would take over the next job.

The reason why Chuanshu is called Chuanshu is because there are too many insects, big ones, small ones, long ones, long ones and short ones, black ones and white ones, thick ones and thin ones, delicious ones and bad ones, there are only unexpected ones , There is no such thing as Sichuan and Shu.

   Not to mention those daunting giant worms roaring in the mountains, or those sinister and secretive long worms that can kill with one blow, even ordinary worms are extremely terrifying things. If you walk through the wild forest unsuspectingly, there is no guarantee that there will be more than a dozen leeches hanging on your body at any time. After the leeches are full and then take a pee and leave, people may suddenly notice it. come out.

   Not to mention those contagious disease-infected iron princes, mini bombers, world high jump kings...

  Under the warm climate of Sichuan and Shu, there are mostly mountain forests and many shrubs. The land of Sichuan and Shu is simply a paradise for bugs. Therefore, Yan Yan didn't even bother to send someone to hunt down Liu Dan, even if Liu Dan escaped back, so what?

   These Liu Dan and other soldiers who recklessly rushed into the mountains and forests are simply sending the last luxurious feast to these insects who are about to spend the winter!

Of course, insects don’t distinguish between outsiders and locals, but the problem is that people from Sichuan and Sichuan have already known how to deal with them as they grow and live on this land. Liu Dan and others who fled, in this respect, actually It's not much different from Silly Baitian, it's written all over her face to bully me...

  The fire in the cottage was burning fiercely. The fire and thick smoke not only drove away the coveted mosquitoes, but also kept the beasts that come out to prey at night from approaching. They just turned around and left in the grass and bushes with their green eyes shining. And the ground is baked, you can even lie down and sleep directly, don't worry about millipedes or cute little tails getting into your clothes in the middle of the night...

  Yan Yan watched as his subordinates pulled out some unburnt grains from the fire, and then found some unburnt dried meat, and put them on the knives and guns with local materials, and roasted them directly.

  After a fight, Yan Yan really felt the exhaustion in his body. It's not like the feeling of fatigue when you were in your teens or twenties. As long as you sleep for one night, you can be alive and well the next day, and the fatigue will disappear without a trace. Now, this feeling of exhaustion seems to go deep into the bone marrow, no matter how hard it is to drive away, there will be a trace left on the bone, and then it will accumulate more and more...

   Yan Yan moved her sore shoulders, her mind was no longer on the scene, but was running endlessly.

In the land of Sichuan and Shu, the current situation is chaotic, and all parties seem to want to play games in it. Every move contains a huge **** atmosphere, just like now that he defeated Liu Dan, but he can stop Zheng Is it the pace of General West?

   Not necessarily.

Needless to say, there must be a big war about to break out. This reminds Yan Yan of the time when the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the world ten years ago. At that time, Sichuan and Shu didn't get involved too much, and luckily they didn't suffer much damage. , but now this time, can he still have such good luck?

   The battle with Liu Dan this time came and went quickly. Although he won, Yan Yan knew in his heart that this was mainly caused by Liu Dan's incompetence, otherwise Yan Yan would not have been so relaxed.

   Unexpected victory.

Originally, Yan Yan's plan was mainly to harass and burn Liu Dan's rations as the main goal, so he chose to attack at dusk. After all, even if it is unsuccessful, there will be night cover when retreating, so as not to be caught People were chasing after him, but Yan Yan didn't expect that Liu Dan was just like that, and he panicked immediately under the pressure, which led to the collapse of the whole army and this big victory.

   If only General Zhengxi was this weak...

  Although Yan Yan knew that this was completely impossible.

   Defeating Liu Dan may have only scratched the surface of the skin for General Zhengxi, but once Sichuan and Shu were eroded by General Zhengxi's troops, the land of Sichuan and Shu could not afford the same loss.

   This is the gap in strength.

  In the land of Sichuan and Shu, self-preservation is always more important than progress. In fact, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not rely entirely on the natives of Sichuan and Shu. He was only named the king of Shu at that time.

  Now the Central Plains is surging, Sichuan and Shu...

Not much else to say, just look at General Zhengxi's sitting in Sanfu, trade with various places, the momentum of turning his hands into clouds and hands into rain, and then turn his head to look at Liu Zhang who is as tender as a cabbage, Yan Yan couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness in her heart.

   They are not on the same level at all, how to compare?

  Since merging with the north, he started fighting in the north and the south successively, cashing in Xianbei and Xiqiang, and even gained the upper hand in the game against the older generation of famous Han general Huangfu and others...

Yan Yan is also the leader of the army. Of course, he knows how difficult it is for General Zhengxi to do this, and how strong the strength of the three-color flag is. Therefore, although he beat Liu Dan away this time, he failed to bring him back. What a joy.

Liu Dan is not scary, but what is scary is General Zhengxi who stands behind Liu Dan and waits quietly in Sansuke. If one day General Zhengxi takes his subordinate army southward, what kind of fighting power will he have? , Can I bring the children of Sichuan and Shu to resist it?

   Yan Yan didn't know, and didn't even dare to think about it in detail. He was afraid that if he thought too much, he would lose his fighting spirit.

  Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.

  This world has changed so much that he can't understand it...

  ………

   Also at this point in time, Ma Heng also felt a little worried.

Shitou Ridge was taken down without a doubt, most of the defenders were killed, a few escaped, and of course three or four were captured alive, the first soldier who was kicked by Wei Yan and fainted was one of them one.

  According to the interrogation of the living people, as early as two days ago, a Sichuan and Shu army went north, but when Ma Heng led the army south, he did not encounter it...

  This means that either they are telling lies, or this army is hiding in the mountains.

   The answer is that one, obviously.

  So what are the hidden troops going to do?

  Naturally, it is not purely for traveling in the mountains and playing in the water to take away the farmhouse.

   "Meet Zhizhong..." Wei Yan walked over and saluted.

   "Wei Sima, come and sit down." Ma Heng waved and said.

  Wei Yan was originally just a military lord, this time Ma Heng led the army alone, Wei Yan took the initiative to ask for orders to follow, Ma Heng simply sealed Wei Yan as a fake Sima.

  Ma Heng was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Sima inspected the surrounding area, did you see anything?"

Wei Yan also lowered his voice like Ma Heng and said: "It's really weird... I walked around the surrounding area, and the village has been emptied of people. Except for the grain and grass in the military village, there is not only no grain and grass in the other houses, Everything that can be moved has been moved away... This must not be done temporarily... Also, in the field outside the village, someone dug this..."

   "This is..." Ma Heng took it, leaned in front of him, looked at it with the light of the bonfire in the army camp, and said, "Is this reed?"

   "Everything was planed...and buried in the soil..." Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

   Ma Heng's eyes could not help but concentrate.

   "No... going forward is definitely a trap..." Ma Heng squeezed the reed in his hand, and finally came to a conclusion. Originally, he hesitated whether to move forward or wait for Liu Dan's follow-up moves, but after obtaining a living confession and seeing such decisive measures, Ma Heng understood that Han Chang was actually ready to die.

If it is said that Ma Heng has all the troops, Ma Heng doesn't mind going straight to the front, but the problem is that Ma Heng only has these 1,000 people in his hands. Naturally, there is no problem in conquering a small army stronghold like Shitou Ridge, but he has to prepare for it. Sufficient, and with a hidden Sichuan and Shu troops behind, marching further will undoubtedly lead to death.

"What Zhizhong said is very true..." Wei Yan arched his hands, his eyes flashed a brilliant light under the reflection of the bonfire, it seemed that there was also a flame called ambition burning, "But even if we retreat here, it is inevitable You will still be followed by the Sichuan army...it's better to use the trick..."

   "Just plan?" Ma Heng couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the sound, and then said, "Let's hear it..."

  ………

Wei Yan finally persuaded Ma Heng that Ma Heng led most of the soldiers to pretend to be moving forward, but actually divided the army into three parts, one part was suspicious soldiers, pretending to be a large force and continuing to move forward, and the other part of the soldiers was in the front An ambush was laid under the hillside, and Wei Yan led the last 200 soldiers to hide in the houses at Shitou Ridge, leaving the breached military stronghold to play a game of darkness.

Because according to the information provided by the living mouth, the Sichuan and Shu troops who disappeared must have known that the people who were originally in Shitou Ridge had already evacuated, so even if there were scouts who came to check, it is very likely that they would just go to the army. If you take a look in the village, you won't be able to turn Shitou Ridge upside down due to leisurely leisure.

   Wei Yan's target is the hidden Sichuan and Shu troops. Although Wei Yan is not like the children of some aristocratic families who open their mouths about the art of war and shut their mouths about the art of war, Wei Yan knows that even if he retreats, he must first solve the hidden dangers on the way to retreat, otherwise it will be very difficult even if he retreats.

Wei Yan didn't know whether Liu Dan would be attacked by this Sichuan-Shu army, but regardless of whether it would or not, the possibility of this Sichuan-Shu army returning here was at least 70%, because no matter what, if Hanchang was really strong and cleared If this is the case, then sooner or later this army will have to return to Hanchang to get supplements such as food and grass.

  Of course, this Sichuan-Shu army may also take other routes, such as climbing a mountain and taking a shortcut, but with a 70% certainty, it is worth betting, isn't it?

Wei Yan thinks that his martial arts is still very good, and his riding skills are also good. Overall, he is better than most of the generals in Hanzhong, and he is even better than General Huang Chenghuang in Shangyong, but he is still a junior. Du Bo, if it wasn't for the southern expedition to Sichuan and Shu this time, even this fake Sima might not be able to be a...

  The most important thing in the army is bravery and meritorious service.

No matter how fast your sword skills are or how good your riding skills are, it's not a problem to turn over five or six robes in one go on the school grounds, but when those old soldiers who have participated in the **** war in the North, wearing mink hats and patrolling the city At that time, no matter how arrogant Wei Yan was, he had to stand aside respectfully, for no other reason than to respect the meritorious service in the army.

Five hundred people marched into Pingyang, fought against Baibo, galloped northward to hunt down Xianbei Zuo Xianwang, raided thousands of miles to regain Yinshan, wiped out the rebellion in the north in one fell swoop, all kinds of people, such a record, these old soldiers who have experienced these wars, even if they are disabled, Still dare to disdain everything.

  The proud and arrogant Wei Yan can only write a big word of obedience in front of these people.

  If I don't respect these veterans who have made meritorious service, who will respect me who has made meritorious service in the future?

   Wei Yan can see this very clearly.

  So, this time when he went south to Sichuan and Shu, Wei Yan was full of energy, wishing to make countless meritorious deeds immediately, but he didn't expect that at the very beginning, he was only asked to supervise the transportation of food and grass!

   This suffocated Wei Yan.

So when Ma Heng was about to lead the army forward, Wei Yan simply took the initiative to find Ma Heng, saying that he would follow him as the vanguard officer, if Wei Yan knew that he was average in appearance, and didn't understand any cute magic skills, it would be impossible to say Wearing bunny ears, opening big watery eyes, being cute is also going to pass the test, and get this pioneer officer to be the one.

  Wei Yan ordered his soldiers to hide in the house, and prepared bows and arrows. If they saw ordinary scouts, they would not be exposed if they could not be exposed. Only when they saw Sichuan and Shu soldiers entering the ambush circle could they let go and attack.

Waiting is always the most torturous, but the hard work finally paid off. I don’t know if it’s because the Sichuan and Shu troops were careless this time, or they didn’t expect someone to hide in the empty houses of the houses. After the army stronghold, after seeing the corpses of the defenders all over the place, they hurried back.

Through the gaps in the house, there seemed to be some smoke and dust rising from the mountain road in the distance. Wei Yan's breathing became heavier, and he trembled slightly. He felt that the blood was about to rush to the top of his head. How many times have you scolded...

  Damn it, how can these dwarf mules climb so slowly?

The waiting process seems to have exhausted all of Wei Yan's patience in his life. After finally waiting for these Sichuan and Shu soldiers to approach, Wei Yan saw one of the leading Sichuan army generals entering the attack range. The bow and arrow were shot, and before the first round of feathered arrows landed, he threw the longbow on the ground, roared, kicked open the door, and led the soldiers to kill the general of the Sichuan Army!
