Chapter 837 Yan Liang is about to arrive at the White Horse
"General, Cao's naval army seems to have decreased..." After successfully crossing the river, Deputy General Jiang Qi came to Yan Liang. He thought that going south would take some trouble, but it was unexpectedly smooth.
During this period, I encountered some harassment, and overall, the fleet was able to transport these 10,000 elite troops to the other side. In addition to these 10,000 elite troops, there were 40,000 auxiliary troops, and all the supplies were in place.
At least, without supplementation in the rear, wars can be fought for about twenty days to one month.
"Whatever the reason!" Yan Liang said disapprovingly, "We have come here, so next is Cao's nightmare! By the way, have you mastered Cao's movements?!"
"It has been confirmed that Cao's army has set up a formation twenty miles outside Baima County." Jiang Qi replied, after all, the scout was under his jurisdiction.
"Get the map here!" Yan Liang thought for a while, then shouted. After a while, he took the map over. He looked carefully. According to the marks on the map, if they wanted to go south, then this white horse could not avoid it. Other counties were far away. But whether it was Yan County or Lihu County, the white horse could support it as soon as possible...
"It seems that we have to fight Cao's army head-on!" Although Yan Liang was impulsive and reckless, it did not mean he had no brains. After confirming the map, he decisively ordered, "The whole army is moving forward!"
The Yanzhou Army's troops in Dongjun are 5,000 combat soldiers. If the main force considers that it also needs to support Hanoi County and joins the headquarters of the Cao army, it is impossible for it to come to support it.
The Xuzhou Legion is too far away from here, and the war has ended when he comes here, and Yuan Tan is also dragging the other party.
"Five thousand to ten thousand, I want to see how Cao's army blocked my military power!" Yan Liang clenched his fists and looked into the direction of the white horse from afar.
At the same time, Zhang Fei, who was deploying the white horse, was also preparing for the war. Since Li Dian and Le were transferred to the Yongzhou Legion, the defense of Dongjun was handed over to her, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wang Ling and Xiahou Ba.
Yes, Wang Ling was transferred to the Yanzhou Army to serve, and Xiahou Ba also changed his position to become a general. After all, he was Xiahou Yuan's son, and he was born with good genes. At first, Zhang Fei only trained him a little, but found that he had excellent martial arts talent, so he began to teach him personally and arranged for him to serve in the army, which was her personal guard captain.
Of course, within three to five years, I don’t expect him to have strong combat power... In fact, what really made Zhang Fei crazy is that after training for half a year, this guy’s temperament and appearance have not changed much, but instead he cried even more charmingly. His grievance and resentful look made Zhang Fei feel very guilty every time he saw it...
"I can't even be ruthless to train him!" Zhang Fei has said such words many times.
If Xu Shu is the most suitable woman in men's clothing, then Xiahou Ba is probably the most suitable man in women's clothing. In this regard, Zhang Liao and others all admit it.
"General, Yuan Shao's army is marching towards us fifty miles away." The scout came to report, "Do you inform the villages along the way to intercept them?"
"Retract the defense line and withdraw all the villages on the front!" Zhang Fei immediately ordered that the villages were not to block the opponent, but to investigate. Otherwise, if the enemy detours, it would be difficult to know the opponent's movements without these villages as eyeliners.
For example, it is difficult to judge whether the opponent suddenly divides his troops or whether he fights in a roundabout way by relying on scouts.
"Yes!" The scout received the order and immediately returned to report.
"Five thousand to ten thousand, it's really..." Zhang Liao smiled faintly. If you say no pressure, it would be a joke. Yuan Shao's subordinates had just ended the Battle of Youzhou, and their soldiers were all elite on the battlefield. If you want to rely on training to win more with less, it would be impossible. What you can compete in the end is nothing more than the restraint of the troops and the use of tactical strategies.
"General, don't worry, at least we still have a chance of winning!" Zhao Yun stepped forward slowly, "We still have a lot of cavalry."
There were 5,000 war soldiers, including two thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry, one thousand trap camps, one thousand white horse Yicong, and one thousand crossbowmen. Zhang Liao and Wang Ling ruled two thousand wolf cavalry, Gao Shun ruled one thousand trap camps, Zhao Yun ruled one thousand white horse Yicong, Zhang Fei and Xiahou Ba ruled one thousand crossbowmen. Regardless of crossbowmen, the remaining four thousand combat soldiers were all real elites.
"The key is that Yuan Shao is short of food. No matter how elite combat soldiers are, they can practice every five days and every ten days. The training level is still somewhat different, whether it is the strength or endurance of the soldiers!" Zhang Fei added.
High-intensity training requires more military rations. It would be fine if Yuan Shao promoted high-yield crops, but since she did not promote them, the food and grass in the army would be supplied to so many people to eat. Even if some exploitation of auxiliary soldiers was not enough for ordinary soldiers to eat three meals a day.
Fortunately, during the war, the daily practice stage is estimated to be only available for training days, and it is amazing to maintain two meals a day at other times. The nutrition cannot keep up with the training level, and even in terms of experience, the Yanzhou Army is not inferior to the opponent's variance... In fact, as long as there is no problem with the tactical strategy, it can basically withstand the opponent's attack. Even find an opportunity to defeat him!
"The key is to be careful of Yan Liang!" Liu Ye stepped forward. She served as a military advisor in the Yanzhou Legion. She is now mainly responsible for the cultural work of Zhang Fei's unit, and there are several people under her command who join the army and so on.
He paused and continued, "Although he is a man, he is second only to Wen Chou under Yuan Shao. As for the male generals of our army, it is estimated that only Huang Zhong can compare with him... Of course, I mean the general..."
If you don’t consider the general, a chef who is not doing his job will have a terrible strength.
"So, in the eyes of the military advisor, I am so unbearable?" Zhang Liao pointed at himself.
"It's okay for General Zhang to have a little inferior martial arts in terms of wisdom and command. As far as I know, Yan Liang is a reckless man, and he probably will lead his army to charge in person. This is also our opportunity!" Liu Ye replied.
"Report!" At this moment, a quick horse came over, took out a military order and handed over, "Report to the general, the general has an order, so that we can fight if we can, and we can stand firm if we can't. Ma Chao's troops and Guan Yu's troops have come to support!"
"Second sister is coming?" Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this news. He hadn't seen each other for a while and missed him very much. He especially heard that she gave birth to a daughter, but unfortunately she was unable to meet her.
Having said that, among the three sisters, the second sister got married and gave birth first. I really didn't expect it... As for myself... Thinking of this, Zhang Fei looked at Xiahou Ba. This little guy had at least one year to win the championship, and then the two could get married.
"If you can fight, you will fight..." Zhang Liao took the military order and looked at it, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Are we underestimated?"
"Who was so sad that he was 5,000 to 10,000 just now..." Gao Shun demoted the situation unceremoniously.
"Objective analysis is objective analysis, but if you are looked down upon as a warrior, you will still feel a little unhappy." Zhang Liao smiled and then looked at Gao Shun, "Do you want to do something big?"
"If it's an enemy, then it's okay... If it's something else, I suspect you're tired of living." Gao Shun replied slowly.
