After Liu Xun wiped out Yongchang's army, he rested for three days, and then prepared to lead an army of one hundred thousand to march towards Zhuti County, the so-called Lair of Nanzhong Wuwang Yongkai. Before sending troops, many generals were worried that Menghuo, king of Nanzhong in Jianning County, would take the opportunity to attack the rear of the Han army, so they all suggested leaving heavy troops in Xichang City to guard against King Menghuo.
However, Liu Xun believes that Meng Huo is not a concern. Because in the information provided by the spy "Feng Wei", Liu Xun knew that Meng Huo was just a short-sighted person. He only cared about one acre of land in Jianning County and would not rush out. Liu Xun wanted to press heavily under the Zhuti County City, quickly solve Yongkai, and then quickly return to his division to clean up Menghuo.
At dawn, in the mansion of Xichang City, the generals and counselors stood in two rows, waiting for Liu Xun's order.
"Everyone, today is the day when we sent troops to retake Zhuti County. Because we seemed to be going well before, but we must not be careless. We must calm down, eliminate Yongkai in one fell swoop, and retake Zhuti County."
Liu Xun said solemnly.
"Subordinates obey." The generals said.
"Zhang Fei, order you to be the big vanguard, lead an army of thirty thousand to enter Zhuti County first, and remove all obstacles leading to Zhuti City for our army." Liu Xun solemnly ordered.
"No!" Zhang Fei said.
"General Wu Yi is in charge of the Governor's food and grass. The military food is related to our army's victory or defeat, so you must not slack off." Liu Xun said to Wu Yi, and Wu Yi agreed.
"The rest of the soldiers will go with me!" Liu Xun said.
"No!" everyone said.
"Lord. The subordinates will do their best to wipe out all the enemy troops leading to Zhuti City." Zhang Fei said.
After Liu Xun gave the order, everyone dispersed and performed their own tasks.
……
In the mansion of Juti County
"Lord, the spies reported that Liu Xun has defeated our army of 100,000, and raged another 100,000 to kill Zhuti County. And the vanguard is..." the soldier said.
"What's wrong with Xianfeng?" Yong Kai asked.
"Pioneer is Zhang Fei." The soldier said.
"Zhang Fei!" When Yong Kai heard Zhang Fei's name, his conscience became reflexive.
"Lord, our army is in danger if this continues," Yong Ping said from the side.
"Moreover, there is not much food left in our army," Yong Yong said from the side.
Yong Kai was silent and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures.
"In addition to the tens of thousands of people who were defeated, we still have 70,000 horses. As long as we stand guard, the enemy can't help us. Everyone is alive and defending the city. No matter how the enemy is challenged, we are not allowed to go to war!"
"No!" the generals said.
……
It was said that Zhang Fei came to the border of Zhuti County with an army of 30,000 as the front vanguard after receiving instructions from Liu Xun to send troops. When Yong Kai heard that Zhang Fei was the pioneer of Liu Xun's army, he ordered all the soldiers and horses in the counties and counties around Zhuti City to be taken back, and only to defend Zhuti City.
"General, there are about 70,000 people gathered in Zhuti City now. It seems that Yong Kai has decided to defend himself." The scout said after inquiring about Zhu Ticheng's information.
"70,000 horses." Zhang Fei was speechless. With only more than 30,000 people, he couldn't attack the city at all. But having said that, Yong Kai shrank all the troops in the rest of the place back to Zhuti City, which also saved Zhang Fei a lot of strength, without having to attack everywhere. The obstacles leading to the city of Juti were swept away without a single soldier. At least Zhang Fei's task of sweeping away all enemy forces leading to Zhuti City was completed.
After a good dinner, Zhang Fei took General Wei Yan and General Du Yi to a high ground to watch the defense of Zhuti City. I saw that the towers of Zhuti City were brightly lit, and it seemed that the guards were very strict. Wei Yan said: "Yong Kai is really capable, it seems that this city is not that easy to break."
"But they lack food, which is the most deadly point." Zhang Fei said.
"Then encircle Zhuti City and starve them to death." Du Yi said.
"We don't have as many troops. Even if we want to besiege the city, we have to wait for the lord's army to arrive." Wei Yan said.
"There will always be a chance to break the city. I believe that there is no shield in the world that is unbreakable." Zhang Fei looked up at the walls of Zhuti City and said, the attack on Zhuti City was about to start.
The next day, Zhang Fei ascended the account and summoned his generals to discuss the military situation.
"Everyone, our army does not have siege equipment, and it is impossible to attack Zhuti County. But we can't wait here, and now Yong Kai is closed, what good strategies do you have to force Yong Kai to go to war? What?"
This time, Wei Yan, Sun Gan and others did not speak.
"Is there no way for everyone?" Zhang Fei asked actively.
"General, his subordinates feel that unless Yong Kai himself is willing to attack, no matter how we provoked them, they would not fight." Sun Gan said.
"That said, we are so froze with them now?" Zhang Fei asked.
"Actually, General, even if we can't attack the city, it doesn't mean we have nothing to do." Sun Gan smiled.
"Then what can you do, Mr. Sun Gan." Zhang Fei asked.
"We can harass them and let them sleep without peace." Sun Gan smiled.
"How to harass?" Zhang Fei was very interested in Sun Gan's tactics. He liked doing this kind of harming things the most.
"General Wei Yan, I will work hard for you tonight." Sun Gan walked to Wei Yan's side, patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
"Military teacher, please make it clear that Wei Yan doesn't quite understand what the military teacher means." Wei Yan's habit of talking only halfway to Sun Gan is still not comfortable.
"General Wei, tonight, with three thousand soldiers carrying war drums at the four gates of the north, southeast and northwest of Zhuti County, they waved the flag and shouted, pretending that our army is going to attack at night." Sun Gan said.
"The military division asked me to harass them?" Wei Yan asked.
"Yes, you can say that, in fact, that's what I meant." Sun Gan said.
"Subordinates obey orders." Wei Yan said.
"However, General Wei also has skills in harassment, do you understand?" Sun Gan smirked.
"Yes, Sun is at ease. His subordinates will first let some subordinates wave the flag and shout at the East Gate, and then kindly let them sleep for a while at the South Gate, followed by the West Gate and the North Gate." Wei Yan said with a smile.
"General Wei Yan understands that it couldn't be better." Sun Gan laughed, and everyone roared.
"Du Yi, tomorrow you will go to Zhuti County to make a battle. In the evening you will switch with General Wei Yan. You will harass the enemy at night, and Wei Yan will make a battle the next day. I want to make Yongkai not peaceful day and night." Sun Gan said.
"Even if I call Yong Kai, I won't come out." Du Yi said.
"You stupid, I didn't hear what I said before! I just want you to harass him. He is the best in battle, and he will be annoying if he doesn't. Whether he plays or not will not affect our plan. Hear you? "Sun Gan said.
"You stupid big-headed ghost. I heard." Du Yi whispered in the first half of the sentence.
"What did you say?" Sun Gan resorted to that trick again, and Du Yi's ears suffered again.
"I said you guys, now I'm discussing military affairs! I really can't do anything with you." Zhang Fei sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly.
……
"What is happening to Zhang Fei's army now?" Yong Kai ascended the tower and asked the guarding soldiers.
"Nothing happened for the time being," the soldier replied.
"Although they only came with 30,000 horses, the number is far less than our army, and they did not bring siege equipment. But we can't take it lightly. Although Zhang Fei is a vulgar person, he can use tricks and is very cunning. It is not guaranteed. Will he attack at night, so you must have the spirit of twelve points. Zhang Fei will send someone to inform me as soon as Zhang Fei has any action." Yong Kai said.
"Yes, the subordinates obey." The soldier replied.
As night fell soon, Wei Yan led three thousand people to gather and quietly left the camp and walked east of the city. Wei Yan ordered that no torches were allowed, so as not to be discovered by the enemy.
After arriving at the East City Gate, Wei Yan ordered the three thousand men and horses to hide in the dense woods and start to act after the night.
As time passed, Wei Yan realized that it was almost midnight, but there were still people patrolling the towers. This is exactly the same situation as Sun Gan said, Zhuti County's defense is really very tight. After a while, Wei Yan felt that the time was almost up, and all the defenders in the city should have been asleep except for the others on the tower, so he ordered to beat the drum and shout.
The sound of shouts and drums cut through the sky. The East City Guards heard the drums and the killing shouts of the enemy, and hurriedly ordered people to inform Yong Kai, and the soldiers in the city who had just fallen asleep had to get up again. Put on the battle armor and rush to the east gate to resist the enemy's sneak attack.
"General, the enemy is attacking the East Gate at night." The soldier shouted as soon as he walked into the door of Yong Kai's house. As soon as Yong Kai was about to fall asleep, he was startled by the soldier's words and jumped from his head.
"Reinforce Dongmen." Yong Kai ordered while putting on his clothes.
The Zhu Ti Army soldiers in the city rushed towards the east gate. At this moment, the defenders on the tower suddenly realized that the enemy had been shouting for so long but no one had come out. They all felt very strange. Wei Yan hid in the woods and saw that the effect seemed to be about the same, and ordered to stop shouting, stay in the woods and continue to stand by, waiting for the next opportunity for harassment.
Not long after, Yong Kai walked up to the tower and asked one of the defending generals: "Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy? Why can't I see it?" His tone was very anxious.
"Back to the lord, there was a shout from the woods ahead, and the subordinates thought they were a night attack. But now there is no movement in the woods. Lord, do you want to send an army to take a look?" General Pian asked.
"No, if you get caught in Zhang Fei's ambush, you will suffer. Don't worry about them, just stick to it. Let me know as soon as there is any movement," Yong Kai said.
"Yes, the subordinates obey." General Pian replied.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for Zhu Tijun, and Yong Kai never had a peaceful night. "General! The enemy's south gate is attacked at night", "Master! The enemy's north gate is attacked at night", "General! The enemy has gone to the east gate again" and "Master! The enemy's south gate is attacked at night". And Zhu Tijun in the city was also very busy, walking around the entire Zhuti County City in one night. In the early morning of the next day, all of them had panda eyes, yawned and looked listless...
