Chapter 391 The End of Yan
Wuling, Zhang Ren, who was attacking Linyuan, was also eager. There were 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou in Linyuan City, but the 20,000 soldiers and horses he led attacked for four hours, but they didn't even climb the tower.
Zhang Ren can clearly feel that there are absolutely no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou above the city tower. With the fierce battle, Jingzhou soldiers who do not know where to emerge from, reinforce the city tower from time to time, which makes Zhang Ren extremely headache.
These Jingzhou soldiers and horses seemed to be hidden in the city, and they came out of various places as soon as the war began. Once there is a gap above the tower, these soldiers will rush out to block the gap as soon as possible.
"All the brothers in the middle of the adult city have participated in the war." Above the tower, a soldier said to Wang Can.
"Hmm." Wang Can nodded. It seemed that it had been as expected. As soon as he arrived at Wuling, he ordered to disperse the soldiers and horses in the city and enter the city in different identities. Originally, he wanted to catch all the remaining Wuxi barbarians and other forces. Unexpectedly, this sudden appearance of Ren disrupted his plan, but the Tibetan soldiers in the city still gave it to Zhang Ren. It caused a lot of trouble.
Looking up at the sky, Wang Can was not worried at all. It was impossible for these Yizhou soldiers and horses to bring too much food and fodder from Yizhou. They could not last long. They only needed to wait until their food and fodder were exhausted, and they would naturally retreat.
In Wuling, Wang Can will never give him the opportunity to replenish food and fodder.
As he was talking, a pair of soldiers and horses under the city building rushed over. It was Zhang Ren's team sent to find food and grass. It was said that looking for food and grass was actually to grab food and grass from some small cities. Now Linyuan is besieged. Most of the soldiers and horses are besieged here. There are not many soldiers and horses in other counties at all. They just need to send them out. Nearly a thousand soldiers and horses can capture these counties.
"General..." Seeing Zhang Ren, the young general smiled bitterly and was a little difficult to say.
"What's going on?" Zhang Ren looked at the soldiers and horses who returned empty-handed and asked in surprise that even if there was no grain in those counties, they should not come back empty-handed.
"General, once several nearby counties are broken, all the grain and fodder in the city will be burned. What we get when we enter the city is basically an empty city, and when we see us enter the city, the people in the city also burn the grain in their hands." The young general was a little embarrassed.
"Hmm?" Zhang Ren was shocked, and then he thought that this should be Wang Can's means to let the counties burn all the grain in the city when the city is broken, so that the army has no food and grass and has to retreat. And even if he breaks through Linyuan City, the grain in the city will definitely be burned. At that time, the army will only get a emptiness. In the city, it is difficult to walk without a large army of grain and fodder in Wuling County.

Xiangyang
After receiving Liu Qi's order, the whole Xiangyang was shocked. Although it was a little troublesome to attack Yizhou, no one expected that Yizhou would be so difficult.
"Madam, now it's better to pass on the master's order quickly." In the study, Yi Ji bowed to Xin Xianying.
"Yes, now the sudden change in the situation is extremely unfavorable to my Jingzhou. Pass the order quickly, and I, Jingzhou, will respond faster." Jia Xu, who was next to Yi Ji, also said respectfully.
"It's not appropriate. Pang Junshi is now in Jiangxia. If we spread the news to Jiangxia, it will definitely delay a lot of time, and now we have the least time. I will not accept the fate of the foreign emperor. Now that the lord is in Yizhou, I don't know the situation in Xiangyang. We must not rely on the lord to make a decision. Xin Xianying's cold voice sounded, but it made a little cold in the study.
"Madam means..." Yi Ji was shocked. Although he knew that Xin Xianying was reasonable, he couldn't help but feel cold all over. Does his wife want to learn from Queen Lv?
Even Jia Xu, who was beside her, looked at Xin Xianying in shock. Although Xin Xianying has been dealing with Jingzhou affairs these days, she did not interfere in Jingzhou affairs most of the time. Only when she thought it was inappropriate would she call them to discuss things. Now she suddenly disobeys Liu Qi's intention, is good or bad. Question mark
"I don't know what a better way, madam?" Jia Xu took a deep breath. He knew that although Liu Qi seemed to be gentle, he would never allow people like Queen Lv to appear, which Xin Xianying should be able to see.
"I mean to change the Pang Junshi in the Lord's order to Xu Junshi." Xin Xianying's voice was still cold, and there was no fluctuation at all. He didn't seem to notice the surprise of Yi Ji and Jia Xu.
"Xu Junshi?" Yi Ji and Jia Xu were stunned.
"Xu Junshi is back?" Yi Ji said in surprise, and Jia Xu beside him was also relieved to know that Xin Xianying did not want to become Queen Lv.
"I arrived in Wancheng yesterday." Xin Xianying nodded.
................................................
Wancheng
As soon as Xu Shu arrived in Wancheng, he learned that the whole situation in Jingzhou had changed. Before he could sort it out, he rushed to Xiangyang non-stop. The matter of Wancheng had settled. If Yan Yan returned to Yizhou, he would have it. If he was still wandering in Jingzhou, Yanyan's 10,000 troops were destined to stay in Jingzhou.
The 50,000 army led by Wang Wei has felt that Wancheng is now stationed in Wancheng. Originally, it was going to enter Yizhou directly, but after receiving the news from Shangyong, in order to prevent Wancheng, it could only stay.
Without any hesitation, when receiving Yan Yan's attack on Shangyong, Wang Wei immediately sent Wang Yi to lead the Flying Tiger Guard to pursue Yan Yan's army, and then deployed 10,000 troops in Wancheng and Fancheng respectively. Wang Wei immediately led 20,000 troops to intercept Yan Yan.
Defeating Yan Yan is equivalent to breaking Liu Zhang's arm. Yizhou can attack Jingzhou through Shangyong, and Jingzhou can also attack Yizhou through Shangyong. Now Liu Zhang's army is all gathered in Mianzhu. As long as Yan Yan and Zhang Ren are defeated, the whole Yizhou is not a concern.
After a night of escape, Yan Yan finally got rid of the pursuit of the Flying Tiger Guard. That night, the original 10,000 troops first attacked the city and then fled. Now there are only 5,000 people left. The other soldiers either died in battle or were dropped down because of injury.
These five thousand people are the best in the 10,000 army, but even so, the five thousand soldiers and horses are already exhausted. At this time, five thousand people hide on a valley to rest, and all of them fall to the ground in armor and sleep.
Looking at the tired soldiers, Yan Yan's eyes were full of bitterness. The strength of the Flying Tiger Guard was much stronger than he thought. After the whole night, there was no pause. Even if he abandoned the soldiers several times blocked behind, he still could not escape the pursuit of the Flying Tiger Guard.
Every time he escapes from the pursuit of the Flying Tiger Guard, he will be targeted by the scout of the Flying Tiger Guard again in less than a quarter of an hour, and then escape sleeplessly. At this time, even Yan Yan himself does not know where he is, although he has a certain understanding of the terrain of Jingzhou. But at this time, after a night's panicked escape, even he didn't know whether he was still in Jingzhou.
The scouts of the Flying Tiger Guard are far more than the elite scouts under his command. Every time he sends scouts to inquire about the news, they will be found by the Flying Tiger Guard, and then they will catch up with him. Therefore, every time she got rid of the Flying Tiger Guard, Yan didn't dare to send a scout to inquire about the news.
This time, it was an opportunity for him to give up several times in a row. Everyone entered the valley to avoid the pursuit of the flying tiger guard.
Boom............
Just as Yan Yan was meditating, the rumble of horses' hoofs sounded again, making Yan Yan suddenly stand up. The rumble echoed endlessly over the valley, waking up the sleeping soldiers.
The sound only lasted for a while and disappeared here, but Yan Yan's face was surprisingly heavy. He knew that the flying tiger guard stayed outside the valley and did not leave.
As time went on, there was silence all around, and there was no sound outside the valley. He knew what it meant.
This means that the Flying Tiger Guard has confirmed that they are in the valley and waiting outside the valley. The night of pursuit not only makes the Yizhou soldiers exhausted, but also makes the Flying Tiger Guard tired. The Flying Tiger Guard is resting outside and is also waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.
The longer there is no dry food and water, the lower the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, which means that the Flying Tiger Guard can destroy them more easily.
Boom...
Soon after, the trembling footsteps sounded, and Yan Yan's face was getting more and more gray. The footsteps were not cavalry but pawns, that is to say, not only the flying tiger guards of Jingzhou but also the pawns of the Jingzhou brigade outside the valley.
The outside of the valley has been completely blocked by Jingzhou, and they either rushed out to fight with them and finally died, or they were trapped in the valley.
As the sound of tremors became louder and louder, the soldiers in the whole valley stood up and looked pale one by one outside the valley, where the only way they left, but now it is occupied by Jingzhou soldiers and horses, which means death in battle, and staying here means sleep.
They have no choice.
"Wang Wei is here. Would General Yan like to come out and see him?" Suddenly, a strong voice came in and echoed in the whole valley for a long time.
"Wang Wei? Is it him?" Yan Yan's eyes were even more bitter. She knew that there was no possibility of escaping today.
He shook his head and stepped out of the valley, staggering, but he was unusually firm.
"Wang Wei." Yan Yan saw an old figure in armor in a valley. This figure was so thick in front of the army, revealing a cold sharpness that people could not ignore.
"Yan Yan." Wang Wei also looked at Yan Yan. His armor was a little dilapidated, but he still couldn't stop the compelling momentum on his body. Although it was the end of the road, it was not decadent at all, but it became more and more fierce.
"You can, surrender!" Wang Wei was silent for a long time before he said solemnly.
Are you willing to surrender!
The voice is like a bell, but it reveals unusual respect and solemnity. This is respect for Yan Yan and the importance of Yan Yan.
Hearing Wang Wei's words, Yan Yan smiled bitterly and did not answer and looked back at the soldiers in the valley. At the time of departure, ten thousand people were in high spirits. In just two days, they fell into a desperate situation and lost more than half of them. Thinking of the soldiers and generals who left voluntarily, Yan Yan's eyes were even more bitter.
"I would like to surrender!" Yan Yan said in a low voice, and there was a hoarse voice, but there was an unspeakable firmness on her face.
