"Long obeys."
Sima Lang received the order with emotion.
At that moment, Sima Lang took Yuan Shang's handwritten letter and hurriedly left.
"Big brother, stay here."
As soon as he went out with his front foot, Sima Yi followed out with his back foot.
"Second brother, do you have any other advice," Sima Lang stopped.
Sima Yi said solemnly: "Although the Wei army only has an infantry army, but the pottery thief is cunning, there is also a guy named Yang Youji under his command, who has a crossbow soldier called the broken military camp, which is a sharp weapon for breaking the cavalry. ” Sima Yi was deeply jealous of the potters, and analyzed the potters' military methods and the equipment of the Wei army very thoroughly.
Sima Lang was naturally convinced of his younger brother's ability, and listened carefully to every word and kept it firmly in his heart.
"What the second brother said, I have written it down for my brother, don't worry, with me, Zhang Yan will never fall for the tricks of the pottery thief."
Sima Lang said confidently.
Sima Yi was relieved and bowed his hand to him: "Big brother, the safety of the Jin Kingdom and the survival of the world are all entrusted to the eldest brother." ” Sima Lang also said solemnly: "Zhongda, don't worry, if you go here for your brother, you will definitely persuade that Zhang Yan to send troops to help." ” After that, Sima Lang said goodbye to Sima Yi, and traveled north under the starry night to Montenegro.
Sima Yi has been sending his brother out of the Jiexiu Pass, standing at the head of the city, watching the horse go north, the eagle's eyes are deep, and he said to himself coldly: "Pottery merchant, as long as I Sima Yi is here, you don't want to get involved in the Jin Kingdom."
It is east of Taiyuan County and forty miles east of Keicheng.
The battle flag of Dawei is flying in the wind, and the team that stretches with no end in sight is marching in high spirits.
"King, forty miles further on, is the easternmost city of Taiyuan County, Jicheng, and the defenders in the city are only seven hundred."
The scouts who came rushing to report.
The pottery merchant's spirit was lifted, and he happily shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will speed up the march, and it will definitely capture Jicheng for this king before Yuan Shang's reinforcements arrive." ” Jicheng is the farthest city in the southeast of Taiyuan County, and it is also the southeast gateway of Jinyang City, as long as the city is captured, the army of potters can smoothly enter the Taiyuan Basin, and the terrain in front will only become more and more open, which will be more conducive to the development of the large corps and give full play to the advantages of his troops.
Zhang Liang reminded: "Yuan Shang should have learned the news of the fall of Huguan a long time ago, and at this time, the reinforcements should have rushed to Jicheng to set up defenses, and now there are only seven hundred defenders in Jicheng, which seems a bit strange." ” "What are you worried about?"
the potter heard what he meant.
Zhang Liang said: "Yuan Shang does not have many remaining soldiers and horses, if he leads the army back to help, he may fall into a situation where he cannot take care of the north and the south and lose completely. ” "Ziliang's words are reasonable, Sima Yi's guy is ten times more shrewd than Yuan Shang, so you can't guard against it."
The potter nodded slightly, "That Zifang Jue, Sima Yi will let Yuan Shang stop us" Zhang Liang said without thinking: "Our army is difficult to travel on the Taihang Mountain Road, so it only advances with infantry, most of the cavalry is still behind, and even the broken barracks are left behind because of the heavy crossbows, and now we have entered the open flat, and it is the best way to use cavalry to deal with us, Sima Yi should be able to think of this." ” cavalry The potter's brows froze slightly, thoughtful.
Without waiting for the potter to speak, Fan Xu had already laughed and said: "I said house, this time I think you are thinking too much, Yuan Shang is now poor jingling, where is he going to conjure up a cavalry to deal with us." ” "Yuan Shang has no cavalry at hand, but in the black mountain to the east, Zhang Yan has more than 10,000 iron cavalry, so I am afraid that Yuan Shang will send someone to invite Zhang Yan out of the mountain to help in the battle."
Zhang Liang pointed to the east.
Hearing Zhang Yan's name, the potter's heart was suddenly shocked, as if he was thinking about something.
"You're just thinking too much."
Fan Hao smiled disappreciatively, "You don't want to think about the house, that Zhang Yan has always been at odds with the Yuan family, and now that Yuan Shang is in trouble, Zhang Yan should gloat, how could he save Yuan Shang, he is sick." ” Zhang Liang sneered and was silent, as if he didn't bother to explain to Fan Xu, a brainless rough man, and only looked at the potter.
The pottery merchant had already realized and said silently: "Zhang Yan was against Yuan Shao at that time, because Yuan Shao unified Hebei and threatened his secession, and now the king is about to destroy Yuan Shang, and there is a great tendency to unify Hebei, which threatens his secession. ” When the potter spoke, Fan Hao was dizzy, confused, and he hadn't reacted for a long time.
"Jin Gong is wise."
Zhang Liang smiled and arched his hand, "Just in case, Liang thinks it's not too late for us to suspend the march and wait for the follow-up cavalry to follow, or the broken army camp will arrive." ” "No" The potter immediately denied it, and said resolutely: "Now there is more and more rain, and it won't take another month, Taihang Mountain will be muddy and difficult to walk, and our army's grain and grass supply can't keep up, even if there are broken barracks and cavalry, it will be useless, we have no time to delay, we must immediately enter the Taiyuan Basin, in order to get grain on the spot." ” Zhang Liang's figure shook slightly, and he realized the potter's intention in a blink of an eye.
The spring rain is falling, the mountain roads are muddy, and the grain and grass are not good for transporting it is inevitable, and the potters can only attack the Taiyuan Basin as soon as possible and capture the cities of Taiyuan County, so that they can take all the grain and grass of the treasury for their own army, which is called to feed the war with war.
"What the king said is reasonable, but we have neither a broken army nor a cavalry, if that Zhang Yanzhen leads the cavalry to intercept it, it will still be a headache."
Zhang Liang reminded.
The potter waved his hand and sneered: "That's your Zhang Zifang's business, then see if you can adapt and come up with a clever plan to break the enemy, so that this king can take advantage of the situation to destroy Zhang Yan, the thief." ” Zhang Liang was stunned, and then laughed and said nothing.
The army continued to advance north.
In the evening, the army entered twenty miles southeast of Jicheng, at this time, the scouts reported that Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain thieves, had led 10,000 iron cavalry to advance to garrison Jicheng.
The development of the situation was indeed the same as Zhang Liang was worried about.
When the generals of Great Wei heard that the Black Mountain cavalry was coming, most of the generals proposed to suspend the march and wait for the follow-up crossbow battalions and cavalry to arrive, and then fight the enemy.
All the generals are famous generals, all of them are brave heroes, they are naturally not afraid of Zhang Yan, but they clearly know the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us.
However, the potters resolutely marched, ordered the three armies to be fed, and the next morning, the whole army continued to advance towards the city of Keicheng.
Twenty miles away, Keijo.
"This potter is really empty-eyed, knowing that my Black Mountain Iron Horse is coming, he still dares to continue to attack, and it is really as arrogant as the legend."
Above the city, Zhang Yan said sarcastically.
Sima Lang, who was standing beside him, hurriedly reminded: "The pottery thief is crazy, but this thief has always acted treacherously, now he knows that General Zhang's iron cavalry has arrived, but he still dares to continue to march without fear, I am afraid that he is cheating, we should be careful." ” Sima Lang never forgot Sima Yi's advice before leaving, so he naturally reminded Zhang Yan all the time.
Zhang Yansui did not dare to use troops easily, and only sent a large number of light cavalry scouts to closely monitor and reconnoiter the virtual and real situation of the Wei army.
The scouts along the way quickly sent back information, claiming that the Wei army had neither broken heavy crossbow battalions nor cavalry protection, and tens of thousands of troops were basically infantry, relying on the strength of the crowd, all the way to Jicheng.

"There are no heavy crossbowmen, no cavalry, just because there are many people, you dare to run rampant, potter, potter, how much do you not take me Zhang Yan in your eyes, it's time for you to suffer."
Zhang Yan was aroused by his ambition and immediately ordered to send out 10,000 Black Mountain iron cavalry to go out of the city to block the Wei army head-on.
Sima Lang was originally afraid of the potter, but when he learned that there were no heavy crossbows in the Wei army, and there was no loss of riding, he couldn't think of any way for the potter to break Zhang Yan's 10,000 iron horsemen, so he thought that this was a great opportunity to break the potter.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Sima Lang did not object to Zhang Yan's battle, but only reminded: "General Zhang must be careful, if the pottery thief retreats, he must not pursue it easily, so as not to fall into the ambush plan of the pottery merchant." ” Sima Lang thought about it, and thought that in addition to using ambush tactics, there seemed to be no way for the pottery merchants to crack Zhang Yan's 10,000 iron horses.
"Mr.
Sima, don't worry, this potter is a bit deceitful, I have already figured it out, I won't be stupid enough to fall for his trick to lure the enemy."
Zhang Yan smiled confidently.
As soon as Zhang Yan said this, Sima Lang was relieved, so he led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the city and wait for Zhang Yan to achieve great achievements.
It was a day when the spring rain had stopped, and the wind was beautiful.
At noon, the 80,000-strong army of the Wei army, like a black tide, swept across the field and approached Jicheng.
Zhang Yan stood proudly with a horizontal spear, and his body was a black iron horse like a dark cloud, with his back to the city array.
Glancing at the approaching Wei infantry formation, Zhang Yan could see at a glance that the Wei army's flanks lacked cavalry protection, which was a weak point, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer a hideous sneer.
"Disrupt the enemy formation with this general" Zhang Yan raised his gun, shouted loudly, and rode out first.
More than 10,000 Black Mountain iron horsemen surged out like a tide, shouting and rolling towards the Wei army's infantry formation.
"This Zhang Yan is too confident, even if the Wei army does not have a heavy crossbow, there is still a strong bow, it is strange that you are so head-on and break through the Wei army's array."
Jitou in Jicheng, that Sima Lang saw Zhang Yan attacking so eagerly, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his face was worried.
At the moment when he was worried, the rolling Black Mountain Iron Cavalry had surged to a hundred paces in front of the Wei army's formation and entered the range of bows and arrows.
The 80,000 Wei soldiers were as immobile as a mountain, and they were not intimidated by the momentum of the enemy's galloping horses.
"Shoot the king."
The potter ordered decisively.
The command flag waved, and thousands of arrows rose into the air, roaring towards the Black Mountain Army.
Although the Wei army did not bring heavy crossbows and cavalry, how could there be no archers.
Thousands of sharp arrows rose into the air, if it was to cover the enemy cavalry head-on, the lethality would naturally be extremely powerful, and a wave would be able to shoot the Black Mountain Iron Cavalry on his back.
At this time, the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth raised a sneer of disdain, and he immediately shouted: "The whole army turns and attacks the enemy's right flank" isjgy:
