Chapter 39 No way back

"Bang bang bang~"

The cold clusters of arrows tore the snow curtain and fell from the sky, falling down without warning as if they appeared out of thin air, hitting the dense shield array, making constant muffled sounds.

The high sound of war drums and horns provide the enemy with their own position, but the scattering snow curtain has become the best cover for the enemy. Even if both sides have entered the range of the other party, the other party does not take the initiative to make a loud sound like Ye Zhao's side, and it will be difficult to lock in the other party's correct position.

"Lord, won't you fight back?" Ji Ling stood beside Ye Zhao. Although the shield formation set up in advance blocked most of the other party's arrow clusters, people were still injured or killed by stray arrows. Ye Zhao looked at the arrows falling in front with a cold face, or bounced up by a shield, or directly stuck to the shield.

Ye Zhao did not answer, but just shook his head. At this moment, his eyes were even colder than this cold winter.

After a while, the cluster of arrows that broke through the air seemed to be weaker. Ye Zhao suddenly looked at the military commander beside him and said, "Remember, in the north, there are two thousand archers, and the rest are unknown!"

The quarconian officer did not ask much, and spread out a roll of bamboo paper and recorded it according to what Ye Zhao said.

"?" Although Ji Ling was also familiar with military books, he was a little confused for a moment and didn't understand what Ye Zhao was going to do.

Ye Zhao ignored it and continued to wander with Ji Ling and others.

After walking around, Ye Zhao also ordered the quarantine officer to record three times, and Ji Ling gradually saw some tricks from the side.

"There are two thousand archers in the north, and three thousand archers in the east and west directions, or there are errors, but not too big. There are no ambushes in the south!" Ye Zhao was like a machine for height calculation at this moment, without any phenotype.

"The frontal feint attack aims to attract our army's attention. The east-west offensive is slightly weak, but the number of people is the largest. According to the Han army's current organization, the enemy has invested 8,000 archers. If archers account for 30%, the number of troops dispatched by the enemy this time should be between 27,000 and 30,000." Ye Zhao looked to the direction directly north: "Although the north attack is fierce, it is a bluff, and the east-west troops are slightly more powerful."

Although he understood what Ye Zhao was doing, Ji Ling felt that his mind was a little confused at this moment. In this world, someone can judge the number of enemy troops based on the arrow clusters shot by the other party just by the other party before he saw the enemy!? Is this still a human?

Wu Qiu Yishang, who was standing next to Ye Zhao, faced a real battlefield for the first time. His brain was a little confused and he almost subconsciously said: "Since that's the case, our army is out of power. Why not protect His Majesty and break through the siege south?"

Ye Zhao glanced at Wu Qiuyi, ignored him, but looked forward and said, "Defend the camp to the death! We passed our military orders. Before the enemy appeared, the archers were not allowed to fire an arrow."

"Why is this?" Wu Qiu Yi was anxiously wandering around like an ant on a hot pan. At this moment, he didn't care about the difference in identity between the two parties and said loudly.

"After all, I am a family of generals. Haven't you heard of the method of surrounding three gulfs and one? If I were the chief general of the enemy, I would have ambushed the heavy troops in the south. Just when our army had the slightest desire to retreat, I immediately rushed forward and attacked the other three groups. Our army had no danger at that time. We were besieged by the enemy of our army several times in the field. Is it necessary to stop Your Majesty from being doomed?" Ji Ling looked at Wu Qiuyi with contempt and said roughly.

"You..." Wu Qiuyi was shocked when he heard this, and then calmed down. However, being taught by a person without an official position made him feel completely dissatisfied. He wanted to say something, but Ye Zhao turned around and felt a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't say a word when he said anything.

"Master, are you just waiting like this?" Ji Ling looked at Ye Zhao with some anticipation.

Although he recognized Ye Zhao as the main person, Ji Ling was also a general who was familiar with military strategy after all. He was a good idea, and there was no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Ji Ling was not inferior to others. He has always had some doubts about Ye Zhao's exaggerated merits and achievements. Thousands of people overcame 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, which sounded like a myth.

However, Ji Ling was completely convinced when he saw Ye Zhao show his skills for the first time tonight. Ji Ling thought he could not do this skill, at least before he could find out the enemy's situation.

Of course, the premise is that Ye Zhao is not showing off here, but really estimates the enemy's distribution and rough military strength.

At this time, Ye Zhao obviously would not have the leisure and pretentiousness. After all, Ji Ling had also been on the battlefield. Although he could not estimate the approximate number of the enemy through the enemy's arrow clusters like Ye Zhao, after Ye Zhao said these words, he looked carefully and found that it was as Ye Zhao said.

The enemy in the north seemed fierce, but in just a moment, the offensive became a little slow, obviously bluffing. On the other hand, although the east-west direction, although the offensive was not strong, it was endless, and obviously had spare energy.

This was gradually seen after Ye Zhao pointed it out. Ji Ling thought that if he was the head coach at this time, although he would not have fallen into the trap of the other party like Wu Qiuyi, he would probably have targeted counterattacks, especially the wrong judgment in the north, which would make him miss the dispatch, and then he might have been attacked fiercely by the enemy in the east and west directions.

It was Ye Zhao's performance that made Ji Ling full of confidence in Ye Zhao.

"This thief is not like a rioter. He has a lot of rules in the war. He should not move lightly, but should use calmness to control it." Ye Zhao shook his head. Although he was prepared in advance, unfortunately, he didn't know what the situation in Jizhou is. Not to mention that the emperor is still here, even if the emperor is not here, with the information he knows so far, Ye Zhao will never move lightly.

"Ren Hongchang meets Wei Wei!" Ren Hongchang rode his horse to Ye Zhao and bowed.

"Your Majesty, are you?" Ye Zhao looked at Ren Hongchang and said.

"The eunuch Yang Qian intends to assassinate, but has been killed. Your Majesty is now protected by the Beigong Guard." Ren Hongchang bowed and said.

"I did a good job, and your Majesty's safety will be entrusted to you." Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"Your Majesty wants to see Wei Wei!" Ren Hongchang bowed.

"You come to supervise the battle, remember what we said just now. If the enemy has not appeared, you must not shoot a random arrow and guard it according to the camp. If there is anything else, send someone to spread it immediately!" Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Ji Ling and said in a deep voice.

"Me?" Ji Ling was stunned when he heard this, excited and nervous: "I don't have any subordinates..."

Ye Zhao looked at Ji Ling, and after a while, he took out the tiger talisman from his waist and handed it to Ji Ling and said, "You will keep this thing for the time being. Before I come back, I will guard the camp. Dian Wei, Guan Hai will help you!"

"Here!" Ji Ling excitedly took the tiger talisman from Ye Zhao's hand, put it away carefully, and sent Ye Zhao with Ren Hongchang to Liu Hong's central army camp.

...

Located 300 steps away from Daying.

Wang Fen walked back and forth a little anxiously. Around him, Xu You, Zhou Jing and several other representatives of the rich family in Jizhou who responded to Wang Fen's call gathered together to watch the battle situation ahead.

So far, he has not been attacked by the enemy, which makes Wang Fen even more anxious.

"Ziyuan, has Ye Zhao seen through your plan?" Wang Fen suddenly looked at Xu You and said.

"He is a famous general of the world, both civil and military, and it is not uncommon to see through it." Xu You smiled and said, "But seeing through cannot be broken. As long as the emperor does not leave, Ye Zhao will have ten times or a hundred times better than me in his heart, and he will only be trapped here by us."

"But an hour has passed, and the other party has not fought back as you expected!" Wang Fen frowned.

"Don't worry, our army summoned the powerful Jizhou powers this time, and the troops were far better than him. Even if he didn't move, the next night of attack would pass, and the soldiers would be exhausted. At that time, our army gathered the main force to attack. No matter how powerful Ye Zhao was, he would have no chance of winning in such a situation." Xu You said confidently: "I heard how Ye Zhao was so great in Luoyang. Since I met him today, I would rather meet him for a while and see how he broke the deadlock?"

"This matter is not a joke. At most, three days. If the heavy snow stops, the rest of the counties will not see the emperor's carriage for a long time, and they will definitely send troops to find him. At that time, all the troops from all directions will arrive. Our life and death are small, and we may accumulate nine tribes!" Wang Fen suddenly regretted it. Xu You said it was full of confidence, and everything was in his plan. However, at the beginning, he had already deviated from Xu You's plan.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhao was almost invincible in the battle between the south and the north, and Xu You was just a scholar. He might be good at talking about the war on paper, but if he really commanded the army to fight, how could he be compared with famous generals like Ye Zhao?

"Three days?" Xu You looked at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky. Generally, this heavy snow does not last long. Conservatively, it is estimated that it will fall for one day. In other words, he has at most four days. After pondering for a while, Xu You sneered: "Three days is enough."

Xu You looked at Wang Fen, and his eyes gradually became colder: "Wen Zu, you have no turning back when you shoot the bow. Since this has come, you and I have no way to turn back. Only by killing the emperor, you and I have a new king. We scholars will have a day to stand out. Otherwise, if the emperor runs away this time, you and I may die without a place to bury you and I will die!"

"Oh~" Wang Fen suddenly felt that this action was a bit hasty. Although Yuan Shao agreed to fund him, he was only a food, grass and people, and he never stood up to take the lead. This was a matter of destruction and involves regnar killing, but he, the governor of Jizhou, took the lead. He felt passionate and willing to sacrifice his life for the country. However, when he calmed down, Wang Fen realized that this was not only related to his head, but the nine tribes would be implicated. After all, if this matter was opened, it would be a serious crime of treason and regnar killing. Although Zhang Chun in Yuyang was joking, in terms of nature, it was not as serious as him.

But now, as Xu You said, he had no turning back when he saw the bow. From the moment he accepted Xu You's advice and decided to take action, he had no way back.

After gritting his teeth, Wang Fen looked at Xu You and said, "Since that's the case, the full power of the military will be handed over to Ziyuan for command!"
