The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 382 Foregone conclusion (two in one)

"How is the situation on Xu You's side? How is the situation of the Yellow Turbans in the four states? How many soldiers are available?"

After agreeing on the candidates for Beikang Liu Yu, Xu An asked Yan Zhong about the situation on Xu You's side.

Now the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States has just arrived in Xindu and is marching towards Zhangshui.

"Xu You sent a letter yesterday, and the situation is a little bit bad..."

Yan Zhong shook his head and sighed, Xu An couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Although they were not harassed by the Han army, many people from the Yellow Turbans in Sizhou still died on the road..."

Yan Zhong's face was solemn, his tone was low, all the generals lowered their heads and remained silent.

Although they are very clear about this result, even in peaceful times, such large-scale and long-distance immigration is a very dangerous job.

Not to mention escaping from pursuit, escaping from siege and interception, and rushing back and forth.

Yan Zhong sighed, and said: "According to incomplete statistics, more than [-] people died on the road, and many of them died of injuries."

He Man's throat throbbed, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The talismans we brought from Shangdang County to practice medicine, can't they heal some people?"

Yan Zhong shook his head and said: "There is a shortage of medicinal materials, and a sudden illness is difficult to cure. It is like saving a carload of fire with a cup of water."

"There are about [-] million Yellow Turbans gathered in Pingyuan County from the four prefectures. According to current estimates, even without the intervention of the Han army, there may only be one million people who can reach Bingzhou. According to the news from Fu Zhu , Many people are in poor physical condition, and such a long-distance migration is a great test for them."

Yan Zhong looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Once the Han army joins the battlefield, the number of Yellow Turbans who can enter Bingzhou will be reduced by another [-] people according to a conservative estimate."

"The Han army came from three sides, and our army was short of troops. The crown was crowned and the tassels were cut off. We were stretched to the elbow, and we were ready to fight."

"Liu Yu in the north is stopped by General Zhang Yan, which is not a problem, but the main force of the Jizhou army led by Lu Zhi, and the Han army in Wuyi led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou are a great threat."

"Now there are about [-] young and strong Yellow Turban Army in the four prefectures, but most of them only have farm tools, wooden knives, and bamboo spears. Only by attacking with ten times the number can we win a tragic victory."

Xu An looked melancholy at the map on Hu's desk, feeling the heavier pressure on his shoulders.

There is no one like Han Xin in the Yellow Turban Army, and no one can reach the level of Marquis of Huaiyin.

"The more the better" is not suitable for today's situation. In fact, not to mention wars, it is an extremely complicated and huge project to mobilize [-] people to travel.

It was Xu You's extraordinary intelligence, the original Taipingdao's management, a rather strict organization, and the threat of the Han army that made the transfer of millions of people go smoothly.

"There are also many elites in the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States, most of whom are old soldiers who survived the bloody battle, and the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States also broke through many counties and counties, and obtained a considerable part of their military equipment."

"So Xu You divided it into four parts to distinguish."

"First, they are equipped with iron armor and hold swords and shields. There are about [-] people in this sequence. Like the yellow angels in our army, these people are all selected from devout believers in the Taiping Dao. Most of them are various commanders. The personal guards of the general school were assembled by Xu You, and their combat power should be comparable to that of our army's soldiers, so they were organized by Xu You as the main soldiers."

"Secondly, equipped with the iron breastplate of the Han army and armed with spears, there are about [-] people in this sequence, most of whom are veterans who have experienced great battles. They are comparable in strength to the experienced county soldiers of the Han army. They were edited by Xu You For old soldiers."

"Thirdly, equipped with the leather armor of the Han army and armed with spears, there are about [-] people in this sequence. They have certain experience in the battlefield and are comparable in strength to the newly recruited county soldiers of the Han army. They were compiled by Xu You. For freshmen."

"Fourth, there are about [-] people in this sequence who don't wear armor and hold spears. They have low morale and experience in the battlefield, but their fighting will is relatively weak. It is barely feasible to fight with the wind, but it is useless In this aspect, it is about the same level as the Xiangyong of the Han army, and was compiled by Xu You as an auxiliary soldier."

Xu An pondered for a moment, then concluded.

"That is to say, the Yellow Turban Army of the four prefectures has about [-] soldiers in battle, of which the regular soldiers, old soldiers, and new soldiers can be used as the main force, and about [-] people are equipped with ordnance."

Xu An tightly held the folding fan in his hand, frowning and staring at the map of Jizhou in front of him.

Zhang Yan went north to resist Liu Yu, and took away more than [-] soldiers and more than [-] Bingzhou righteous followers.

Zhending, Puwu, Xiaquyang, and Fucheng, Xu An each left [-] elite soldiers as defenses.

In other words, now that Xu An is directly in command, there are only more than [-] infantry soldiers from the Wuju battalion, [-] yellow angels, [-] from the trapped camp, more than [-] cavalry from the Xiaoqi battalion, and [-] Bingzhou soldiers. In Yicong, there were more than four thousand Wuhuan Tuqi.

Originally, there should be more cavalry under Xu An's command. This time, he brought more than [-] cavalry from the Xiaoqi Battalion. A trilogy of about [-] riders was divided into two teams. The first team of thousands of people was handed over to Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who rushed to help the three cities, so that the Han army did not dare to attack the city with all its strength.

Therefore, Xu An now only has more than [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry under his command.A total of [-] people, far less than the main force of the Han army in Jizhou.

The main force of the Jizhou army led by Lu Zhi has more than [-] people, and more than [-] townships are brave to help the battle, while the two generals Yan Liang, Wen and Chou have more than [-] county soldiers, and many townspeople are brave to help.

"Military division, in your opinion, how should this battle be deployed."

Xu An pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Zhong, and all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the stands also looked at Yan Zhong.

Yan Zhong stroked the beard on his chin, his eyes dimmed.

"Generals against generals, kings against kings, Lu Zhi's army is slightly superior to others, and he leads elite soldiers. He waits for near and far, and treats for labor. Don't dare to act lightly, use Xu You's plan to block the attack and use your backhand."

"Duke Ming can leave two thousand soldiers from Bingzhou and one thousand Wuhuan Tuqi and Xu You in Anping to control the cavalry of Yan Liang and Wen Chou."

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou were newly defeated by King Wuhuan's army, and their morale was not high. I thought that the infantry did not have much combat power. There were [-] auxiliary soldiers left, [-] new soldiers, and [-] regular soldiers. Resist Yan Liang and Wen Chou."

"However, in order to guard against Lu Zhi's division of troops, it is necessary to place a thousand cavalry troops in Fucheng as a guard, and at the same time arrange for a city defense army of [-] people. The defense of the city is no better than a field battle, and Xu You can be drawn from the auxiliary troops."

Yan Zhong pointed to Zhangshui on the map, and said solemnly.

"The remaining [-] regular soldiers, more than [-] old soldiers, and more than [-] new soldiers, totaling more than [-] people. In addition, there are more than [-] auxiliary soldiers."

"When crossing the river, let him be the vanguard, cross the Zhang River first, and gather under the command of Duke Ming. With these soldiers joining, we can have a chance of winning against the main force of the Jizhou Han army led by Lu Zhi."

Xu An tapped the table lightly, imagining the layout Yan Zhong said in his mind.

In his mind, after deducing it back and forth several times, Xu An slowly let out a foul breath, and he couldn't think of any better way than what Yan Zhong said.

The battle in Jizhou is a foregone conclusion. There is no need for mountains and hills to fight on the plains. There are no such ingenious tricks, and there is no way to arrange such ambushes and surprise soldiers.

What's more, even if there is, it will probably not succeed. The generals who led the main force of the Han army in Jizhou are not mediocre. Lu Zhi can be regarded as both civil and military.

According to Lu Zhi's cautious character and command of troops, it is basically impossible to ambush the army led by Lu Zhi. The only way is to confront the main force of the Jizhou Han army led by Lu Zhi head-on.

More than [-] auxiliary soldiers roughly opened up to compete and offset with Lu Zhi's Xiangyong Xianghu.

After integrating the Yellow Turban Army of the four prefectures, Xu An will be directly under the tribe, and will have [-] Xiaoqi Battalion, [-] Wuhuan Tuqi Battalion, more than [-] Wuju Battalion infantry, [-] Yellow Angels, and [-] soldiers. Famous infantry in the camp, there were [-] regular soldiers, more than [-] old soldiers, and more than [-] new soldiers.

That is to say, there are more than [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, a total of [-], which is almost the same as the main force of the Han army in Jizhou.

However, Lu Zhi had already laid down his pawns in the battle of Jizhou, and selected three battlefields, which became a foregone conclusion.

The first is the battlefield in Shanxian County, where Liu Yu's main attack is to intercept the retreat of the Yellow Turban Army from the four states.

The second place is the Xindu battlefield. Yan Liang and Wen Chou's main attack is to support Liu Yu's and Lu Zhi's troops, contain the Yellow Turban Army's strength, and attack the rear of the Yellow Turban Army in the four states.

The third place is the Zhangshui battlefield, which is also the main battlefield of the upcoming Battle of Jizhou.

From Boluoting, the camp of the Han army, to Shan County, it is necessary to cross a tributary from east to west, and to cross the river, you must first take Fucheng.

Therefore, the Zhangshui battlefield is very large, and the battle zone will stretch continuously, including the Zhangshui River Basin in the southwest of Shan County, Fucheng, Tangyang, and the three cities.

Xu An pondered for a moment, and then made up his mind.

"According to what the military adviser said, the military order office issued a military order, took a note to Xu You, and then issued an order to the entire army to prepare for war."

……

On October [-]th, shortly after Xu An concluded the military discussion.

Zhang Yan led [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army and [-] soldiers from Bingzhou, without stopping or procrastinating, they marched in the direction of Zhangshui.

The first wave of the Han army's offensive was probably initiated by the Youzhou Han army led by Liu Yu.

Therefore, Zhang Yan needs to dare to take his soldiers to the north quickly and set up a camp to prevent the possible invasion of Liu Yu's troops in advance.

October seventeenth.

Xu An's military order was passed on to Xu You.

Xu You's face was solemn, carefully studying the letter in his hand.

Xu An arranged the rough distribution, as well as the arrangement of soldiers and defense very carefully. As long as Xu You followed suit, Yan Liang and Wen Chou would definitely be stopped outside Xindu.

Xu You put the letter back in his arms. He led the horse under his seat, looked at the endless migrating army in front of him, and glanced at Lu Bu and Zhang Liao who were guarding him.

He was not going to make plans and deployments according to Xu An's arrangement.

Xu An left him [-] auxiliary soldiers, [-] new soldiers, and [-] Wuhuan Tuqi and Bingzhou Yicong, which means he controlled an army of [-] soldiers.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou have only more than [-] county soldiers.

According to the predetermined plan and the situation of the deduction, it is true that Yan Liang and Wen Chou can be repelled, but how could such a proud person like Xu You, with so many troops in his hands, be satisfied with this.

Xu You glanced at the folding fan in his hand. This folding fan was given to him by Xu An.

"It's said that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the brave champions of the three armies. I want to see how his [-]-strong army can break the siege of my [-]-strong army..."

Xu You narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fierce killing intent slowly emanated from his body.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao glanced at Xu You who was riding a horse in front of them in surprise. It was the first time for them to see such a murderous Xu You.

The military order was passed down, and the Yellow Turban Army of the four states obeyed the order and began to act.

After several months of migration, the abilities of the generals and schools of the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States have actually been fully tempered. After all, they have to escort thousands of people along the way.

After Xu You passed down the military order issued by Xu An, the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States also began to mobilize.

One after another, the parts that Xu You had compiled began to gather, and the sound of the sharp wooden whistle resounded everywhere in the official road.

The wooden whistle invented by Xu An is easy to make and has strong sound penetration, so Xu You also ordered people to make many and distribute them among the armies.

When the Yellow Turban Army from the four prefectures gathered towards Pingyuan County, Xu You was not idle. He was not only paying attention to the situation in the four prefectures, but also made suggestions to make the Yellow Turban Army jump out of the heavy encirclement of the Han army.

They also gathered the elite of the Yellow Turban Army from the four prefectures and reorganized them into an army. It took about half a month to train a group of mid-level officers in a surprise attack according to the content of the "Infantry Exercise Code", and then spread them to various ministries. Teach junior officers.

Therefore, the current Yellow Turban Army of the Four States far exceeds the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States in history in terms of organization and combat effectiveness.

October eighteenth.

The part of the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States summoned by Xu An completed its assembly and, as the vanguard, marched towards the south of Shanxian County, towards Zhangshui Ferry.

At the same time, Xu An also led the main force of the Yellow Turban Army and pulled out the battalion.

The trilogy led by Xu An almost included the most elite trilogy of the Yellow Turban Army, as well as the most elite generals.

The army that Xu An dispatched this time was even more powerful than the army he led during the battle of Sunflower City in the past.

However, it's not just the Yellow Turbans that have been strengthened.

The main force of the Jizhou Han army led by Lu Zhi has three battalions, [-] Xiyuan forbidden troops, and these three battalions have [-] people, including the most elite upper barracks of the Xiyuan forbidden army.

The soldiers in the upper barracks are more luxurious than the other seven battalions. They are dressed in triple armor, armed with knives and guns. They are also good at shooting, proficient in bows and crossbows, and can be far and near. Liu Hong even specially equipped them with livestock Used to transport armor and weapons.

The battle of Jizhou this time is a battle of equal strength...

　At the climax stage, I also know that the update is indeed a bit slow. I tm directly squatted in the small black room, and let me save some drafts. On May [-]st, Labor Day, I will directly explode, so that book lovers who are on vacation can read Dedicated.
