I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266 Surprise Attack on Jiangyou
The tens of thousands of soldiers hiding in the depths of the dense forest roared out like a tiger descending the mountain, and the sound of killing resounded through the valley. Hundreds of "Orion" who had sneaked into the city first also launched a surprise attack, killing the city gate guards In a panic, the guards were all hacked and fell to the ground before they could resist.

No one expected that such "heavenly soldiers and generals" would appear here.

Ma Miao, the guard in the city, was also a little puzzled when he heard the sudden shout of killing, he was thinking in his heart, could it be that barbarians came to attack?The barbarians in the mountains had sneaked up here before, so Ma Miao thought it was them who caused the disturbance.

Seeing the guarding officer in the city rushing into the hall in a hurry, he shouted sadly: "General, something is wrong. There is an enemy sneaking up on Jiangyou. The enemy has never raised its banner. It seems that it is probably the Bingzhou Army. Now the south gate is closed. It's lost, let's run away."

"It's nonsense, how could the state army be merged here? Didn't Li Shimin's army be resisted by Gao Pei and the others at Jianmen Pass? How could it appear here? It must be the barbarians in the mountains. I think you have lost your head." Ma Miao came out He scolded loudly.

"General, it's absolutely true. The enemy is almost at the county government office. If you don't believe me, you can go out with me and see." Seeing Ma Miao's disbelief, the captain guarding the city quickly said.

Ma Miao drew out his sword, rushed out with the captain, and headed towards the south gate. Not long after he rushed out, he saw a large number of enemies rushing towards him, and there were endless streams of enemies outside the city gate in the distance. The enemy rushed in continuously, and the enemy was still in a no-man's land along the way, unstoppable, and the leading enemy army ran and shouted: "Brothers, kill, take Jiangyou, capture the enemy general Ma Miao alive, rush."

The sound of killing came from a distance, Senhan's murderous intent swept Ma Miao's body, seeing that a large number of enemies descended from the sky like heavenly soldiers and generals, and entered Jiangyou, Ma Miao panicked for a moment , Frozen in place, not knowing how to advance or retreat.

Seeing that Ma Miao lost his mind for a moment, the captain guarding the city quickly stepped forward to hold him back, and retreated towards the east gate, shouting while running: "General, retreat quickly, Jiangyou can't hold it anymore, tell the news to the lord. "

At this time, Ma Miao was already in a state of desperation, and ran away with the captain in a panic, and no longer cared about defending the city. Relying on thousands of recruits in the city, how could he be able to stop this wolf-like enemy, so Ma Miao didn't even think about resisting.

Seeing that he was about to escape from the east gate, he saw that thousands of enemy troops had already rushed towards the east gate, blocking the way to escape from the east, and the leader was Cheng Lian.

Cheng Lian looked at the group of deserters in front of him, and naturally found the enemy generals surrounded by them. He waved his murderous sword and shouted: "I am Cheng Lian, general of the Bingzhou Army. Those who surrender will not die, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing that Cheng Lian's broadsword was still dripping blood, and his whole body exuded bursts of murderous aura, some timid soldiers involuntarily threw away their weapons, but more soldiers were still watching, their eyes involuntarily looking at Ma Miao.

Naturally, they were all looking at Ma Miao's attitude. If the general surrendered, the soldiers themselves would be less liable for liquidation in the future.

Naturally, Cheng Lian was aware of the abnormality. He waved his sword and went straight to Ma Miao, and asked coldly, "Surrender or not..."

………………

For several days in a row, Li Shimin's army did not move, which made Gao Pei a little puzzled, which made him even more uneasy. He felt that Li Shimin must have a follower, and there might be some conspiracy, so he patrolled the pass day and night, and be careful Li Shimin's sneak attack.

What he didn't know was that Yang Jian had already told Li Shimin the secrets of the defense situation of the various passes in Jianmen Pass and the strength of the troops, and Yang Jian was also arranged to defend the most critical Longling Pass.

Although Li Shimin seemed to stand still, he was actually paying attention to the situation in Jiangyou and Jianmenguan all the time.Soon Cheng Lian successfully captured Jiangyou and forced the surrender of guard Ma Miao to Li Shimin.

"My lord, good news. General Cheng Lian has walked out of the Yinshan trail and successfully captured Jiangyou." Zhuge Liang smiled and handed the received secret letter to Li Shimin.

"Good! Good! Good! General Cheng Lian did not disappoint me, haha." Li Shimin was also very excited. Although he had expected it, when he finally got the news, the stone in Li Shimin's heart was completely dropped.

"Next, it's up to you, sir." Li Shimin looked at Zhuge Liang mysteriously.

"Liang will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations, and I will take down Jianmenguan in five days." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gracefully, with a calm expression on his face.

………………

Unsurprisingly, Ma Miao surrendered. He knew that his fate was over, and he also knew that Liu Zhang had no hope. The throat of Sichuan was the Jianmen Pass. It can reach the Chengdu Plain in five days.

Moreover, taking Jiangyou is tantamount to cutting off the food road from Chengdu to Jianmenguan. As long as Jiangyou is guarded, the army of Jianmenguan will definitely be popular.

Of course, attacking from the back of Jianmen Pass is much less difficult than attacking from the front.

The most important thing is to shake the hearts of Liu Zhang's army. Once they know that an enemy has killed Jiangyou and bypassed the Jianmen Pass that they are proud of, it will definitely make Liu Zhang's army fluctuate and shake their morale.

………………

There are thousands of miles of fertile fields in Yizhou, and there is sufficient food and grass. However, there are more than 1 defenders guarding Jianmen Pass. People eat horses and chew. The demand for food and grass is also huge. In order to cope with the future shortage of grain and grass, Gao Peizuo asked Liu Zhang to transfer 30 shi of grain and grass for storage.

At present, it has been transported to [-] shi, and there is still a large amount of grain and grass that is being continuously transported to Jianmen Pass. Among them, Jiangyou City has undertaken the task of transporting [-] shi of grain and grass.

In this way, a 3000-person grain transportation team swaggered towards Jianmen Pass under the banner of Jiangyou Cheng Ma Miao.

After marching for three days, they finally reached Jianmen Pass.

"Report..., General Qi, General Jiangyou Cheng Ma Miao escorted the remaining [-] shi of grain and grass outside the camp." Lieutenant Yuanmen reported to Gao Pei.

"Oh, General Ma Miao actually personally escorted him, please come in, let him transport the grain and grass to the grain storage place in the back camp, there must be no mistakes." Hearing that Ma Miao actually came in person, Gao Pei did not have any doubts, after all Food, grass and supplies are a big deal, so it is reasonable for Ma Miao to personally escort them.

Under the arrangement of the captain, three thousand "soldiers" transporting food and some "folk strong" successfully mixed into Jianmen Pass.
