704 Jiameng Pass
"Wait!" Fa Zheng saw that Zhang Fei was leaving, so he hurriedly stopped him.
Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Fa Zheng and asked, "Strategist, is there anything else?" ”
"Ma Chao is sure to fight, but if the lord wants to leave Chengdu and support Jia Mengguan, he must first make good arrangements for the rebellion in Nanzhong." Fa Zheng Dao.
Zhang Fei said: "These things, just leave them to the military division to deal with, Jia Meng Pass has been approached by soldiers in the city, Ma Chao is too brave, I am afraid that Jia Meng Pass will make a mistake, and I must rush to support immediately." After I leave, the military advisor will stay in Chengdu to handle all the military affairs for me, and when I kill Ma Chao, it will not be too late to come back to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei turned around and left, without looking back, letting Fa Zheng shout behind him, but he just ignored it.
Zhang Fei was so anxious that he immediately asked Peng Tuo to take 200 personal cavalry, quickly left Chengdu, and went straight to Jiameng Pass, and on the way ordered Li Yanhuo, the general of Langzhong who was stationed closest to Jiameng Pass, to support Jiameng Pass.
After Zhang Fei left, Fa Zheng replaced Zhang Fei to make the power of Yizhou Mu, and he also met with Lu Kai again, and learned that Lu Kai had found Li Hui, and strongly recommended Li Hui, so he sent Li Hui to Nanzhong first, and took Zhang Fei's appointment to contact the Yi people who were bewitched by Yonghong, clarify the facts, and give him an official position to divide the Yi people and Yonghong.
Fa Zheng asked Wu Yi to lead an army of 30,000 soldiers, and the soldiers were tun and Qian, ready to defend against the rebellion in Nanzhong. Let Lu Kai, who understands the situation in Nanzhong, go with Wu Yi, so it will be helpful.
In addition, Fa Zheng asked Wu Ban to lead an army of 10,000. Garrison Lingguan Road and block the rebels' main road to the north. Fa Zheng was worried that Zhang Fei was too reckless, so he sent Huang Quan to Jia Mengguan to give advice to Zhang Fei. He sat in Chengdu and was in charge of command.
Yonghong contacted Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, Wang Yan and the Yiren tribe to rebel together, the momentum was very huge, Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and Yonghong were all old friends, the three of them hit it off, only Wang Yan was unwilling to surrender, but with Lu Kai's experience. Wang was also forced to give in and join the rebels.
Today, the rebels have elected Yonghong as their leader. and fabricated the rumor that Liu Zhang, the former Yizhou pastor, was killed by Zhang Fei, and led all the rebels with Yonghong as the Yizhou pastor, under the guise of avenging Liu Zhang. Recruiting on a large scale. And many Yi people have also joined the ranks of the rebels, and so far, the total number of rebels has reached more than 100,000.
Among the more than 100,000 people, about 70,000 of them are bewitched Yi people, and the subordinates of Yonghong, Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, and Wang Yan are all combined, less than 30,000 people. But it was just a tiger skin, after completely occupying Yueshan County, Qiqi County, Yizhou County, Zhuti County, and Yongchang County. They each held the pass, did not continue to advance north, but only trapped in the five counties of Nanzhong, in order to wait and see what happened, and formed a confrontation with the Zhang Fei regime in Chengdu.
……
Jia Meng Pass.
Under the city, Ma Chao rode a tall horse, holding a bright silver gun, looking at Jia Mengguan who was closing the gate of the city, and kept shouting to the soldiers behind him: "Scold!" Shout at me until the enemy goes into battle! ”
The soldiers behind Ma Chao were all dry-mouthed, their throats were about to smoke, and they had scolded everything, but there was no movement above the gate of Jiameng Pass.
The pass of Jiameng Pass is built on the mountain, there are steep cliffs on both sides, Jiameng Pass just blocks the passage between these two mountains, and also builds a high city wall, if you can't capture this pass, you can't enter the hinterland of Yizhou at all.
However, Ma Chao had tried to attack several times, and each time he launched a fierce charge, and many people died, but Jia Mengguan did not move at all, leaving a dead body on the ground. If the army in the city does not fight, hold this pass tightly, even if Ma Chao's force is high, it will be absolutely impossible to capture this pass.
For two days in a row, Ma Chao would come to the pass every hour with soldiers and horses to scold, but Liu Xian, who was stationed in the city, always maintained a relatively calm head and ignored the abuse outside the gate. If Ma Chao launched a strong attack, Liu Xian would use the strong city wall of Jiameng Pass to let the crossbowmen condescend and snipe fiercely.
Liu Xian has already repelled Ma Chao's several attacks, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, anyway, Ma Chao has nothing to do with him, and Jia Meng is unbreakable.
However, having said that, there are not many guards in Jiameng Pass after all, and the enemy will also use bows and arrows when attacking, shooting from the bottom up, and most of the enemy troops are Qiang people who can fight habitually and are proficient in archery, and the archery is extremely accurate, and many soldiers guarding the pass have died under their arrows.
In just two days, there were only more than 2,300 of the 3,000 defenders in Jiameng Pass, of which more than 700 died in the arrows.
After the death of the guard Leng Bao, the deputy general Liu Xian took over the command of Jia Mengguan, Liu Xian saw with his own eyes how Leng Bao was stabbed to death by Ma Chao, and he was extremely afraid of Ma Chaoren's kung fu. But fortunately, Ma Chao came in a hurry and did not carry siege weapons, otherwise, once Jia Mengguan was attacked by siege weapons, then with these troops under his subordinates, whether he could hold it was another matter.
There was a lot of scolding under the pass, but Liu Xian was extremely harsh in his ears, and it was thanks to his good temper, otherwise, he would definitely be forced by Ma Chao to be anxious, and lead the army out of the customs to fight, so there was only a dead end waiting for him.
Liu Xian leaned against the city wall and looked at the pass from time to time, but seeing that Ma Chao's army was still scolding at the pass, it had been almost a whole day, and his ears could hear the calluses coming.
On the gate of Jiameng Pass, there are bundles of arrows and huge stones, all of which are used to defend the city.
Just when Liu Xian's face was sad, Zhang Fei suddenly walked over from the steps of the city wall and appeared on the city tower, he glanced around, and after seeing Liu Xian, he hurriedly walked to Liu Xian's side with his body down, and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"The enemy is still shouting and scolding below, and he has been scolding for almost a day, and he has changed several batches of people. The last general knew that he was not Ma Chao's opponent, so he only held on without a fight, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the lord. Liu Xian replied.
Zhang Fei suddenly showed his head, glanced at the bottom of Guan Cheng, and asked, "Which one is Ma Chao?" ”
"The one on the white horse!" Liu Xian said.
Zhang Fei's gaze stayed on the young man wearing silver armor and a silver helmet at the front of the team, but he saw that the man had a handsome face, deep eye sockets, and bright eyes, and he was only in his twenties, very young.
"This person is Ma Chao?" Zhang Feihu asked suspiciously.
Liu Xian nodded and said: "Yes, he is Ma Chao, Leng Dudu only had one round with him, and he was stabbed to death by Ma Chao, which is very powerful!" ”
Zhang Fei said: "It's not powerful, I'll have to meet him for a while." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei then said to Liu Xian: "Open the city gate, I want to go out of the city to compete with Ma Chao, I want to see if he is powerful, or I am powerful!" ”
Liu Xian hurriedly persuaded: "The lord came from afar, and he was tired of saddle horses all the way, and it will inevitably be a little disadvantageous to fight at this time." That Ma Chao is not an idle person, not to mention that he is waiting for work, if the lord really wants to fight with him, it is not too late to fight tomorrow. ”
Peng Tuo, who was beside Zhang Fei, heard Liu Xian say this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, lord, now the lord is different from the past, the lord is noble, how can he fight casually?" Ma Chao is just a martial artist, no matter how powerful he is, what can he do? Tomorrow, the end of the general is willing to fight in place of the lord, first test Ma Chao's strength, if the last general can kill Ma Chao, then there is no need for the lord to make a move. ”
Liu Xian said: "Captain Peng is reasonable. ”
Listen to people's advice and eat well. Zhang Fei is not a stubborn person, and since he became the lord, he has been thinking and doing things more comprehensively. He also knows that his identity is different now, he used to appear as a military general, born and died, and it was his mission to fight on the battlefield, but now he is the lord, if he rushes into battle again, in case there is a mistake, how can those who have followed him be embarrassed.
"Okay, then I'll fight with Ma Chao tomorrow, early tomorrow morning, Peng Tuo will go to fight first, I'll wait and see from the city tower, I want to see how powerful Ma Chao is!" Zhang Fei said.
So, there has been no movement on the gate of Jiameng Pass, Ma Chao also felt bored, and scolded for a day, but the people inside ignored them at all, and saw that it was getting late, so they withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
Ma Chao's big battalion, stationed outside Jiameng Pass, only two miles away from Jiameng Pass, when the road is down, the front of the camp is covered with antlers and horses, worried about the enemy's sneak attack at night, and Ma Chao's defense is also very strict, the night patrol team is staggered, there is no dead end at all.
In Jiameng Pass, the soldiers became some confident because of Zhang Fei's arrival, and at dusk, Li Yan, who had been stationed in Langzhong, led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to arrive at Jiameng Pass, and Jiameng Pass suddenly became lively.
At night, Zhang Fei, Li Yan, Peng Tuo, Liu Xian and others had a deep talk about the shape of Jiameng Pass, but these people basically couldn't come up with any ideas, and finally chatted and chatted, or decided to suppress Ma Chao in force first, give Ma Chao a dismount, and mainly hit the morale of the enemy.
When the child came, Huang Quan came in the starry night, at this time Zhang Fei had already fallen asleep, Huang Quan did not want to disturb Zhang Fei, so he climbed the city wall of Jiameng Pass alone, condescending, looking out from afar, but saw that a large camp two miles outside Jiameng Pass was brightly lit, the "Han" character military flag in the camp was fluttering in the wind, the patrol team was even more dazzling, and the defense was extremely strict, and I had to admire the people who arranged this camp.
"It seems that Ma Chao came prepared...... Huang Quan said to himself. (To be continued......)
