Until then, after obtaining enough information, the first stage of Xu Huang's plan, the work in the early stage of the battle between the two sides, has officially come to an end.
Next, is the second stage, that is, the "moving like thunder" of real swords and guns between each other.
This is also the reason why Xu Huang sent a herald to ask Zhang Yan for help.
According to the distribution map of the Shanyue forces he obtained, Xu Huang has identified dozens of Shanyue forces, which is far beyond Xu Huang's expectations when he set off.
Among these forces, there are four large camps with more than 500 people, and the largest one has a size of more than [-] people.
The rest are mostly small camps with dozens to hundreds of people.These camps are like rabbit holes in the wasteland, and Xu Huang's scalp tingles at a glance.
All in all, if these Shanyue were added together, there would probably be 8000 to [-] people, which had already exceeded Zhang Yan and Xu Huang's initial expectations.
Chapter 46 Liao Hua's Progress
After sending several spies to the bandit camp to confirm the effect, Xu Huang finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the information he had.
At the same time, he was a little bit tongue-in-cheek, the number of mountain thieves and bandits had increased to such a level in a few years, it was fortunate that he didn't rush into the mountains as soon as he arrived at Qianshan.
If he had really led troops into the hidden mountain realm, I am afraid that among the [-] elite troops, now there are only [-] remaining, which would be regarded as his luck.
Even thinking about it now, Xu Huang still feels a little scared in his heart.
And when he was thinking about the "second stage" plan in the tent, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the tent.
"Who's there?!"
Subconsciously, there was a burst of shouting, Xu Huang was shocked when he heard the footsteps, and then the thunderous sound sounded in the camp.
The footsteps were also paused because of this, as if they were frightened, and they continued to ring after a long while.
……
"General Xu, don't be nervous, it's me."
……
It was a rather clear and strong voice, accompanied by the figure of a young man that Xu Huang was very familiar with.
I saw the young man wearing armor and holding a lance, approaching Xu Huang's place with steady steps, and Xu Huang's expression relaxed when he saw this, and he greeted the person who came.
"Huh, who am I supposed to be, it turns out that Yuan Jian is here."
Smiling and waving at Liao Hua, Xu Huang just thought that a secret agent sent by Shanyue came to listen to the news near his camp, so his whole body was a little tense.
Seeing that the person who came here turned out to be the young general who followed him south to Qianshan, he relaxed a little.
Let's talk about Liao Hua, since he followed Zhang Yan in Taiyuan, almost half a year has passed.
In the past six months, because of his upright character and extremely brave combat, whether it was Yang Feng, Xu Huang and others who advocated bringing him with him, or generals like Pei Yuanshao who fought in front of the battle, they had a very good impression of Liao Hua. Well, they are also willing to teach each other some of their combat and marching experience in daily life.
For example, this time, Zhang Yan asked Xu Huang to take good care of him in the process of going south to fight before he left, so that this young general could lead the army independently as soon as possible. Zhang Yan's subordinates played a role.
Perhaps people are really talented in this respect. As a pioneer officer in the middle and late stages of the "Third Han Empire" in later generations, Liao Hua's talents in marching and combat and martial arts are excellent.
In addition, Liao Hua has a serious personality and is very diligent and studious. Therefore, with the help of everyone, Liao Hua's personal strength and ability to lead troops in combat have improved by leaps and bounds, and the progress has far exceeded Zhang Yan and others' original expectations.
You must know that it may be caused by his own malnutrition. When Liao Hua first joined Zhang Yan in Taiyuan, his own strength was only in a low-level state among generals.
Compared with the middle and lower generals or ordinary soldiers in the army, this kind of strength is naturally extremely powerful, but it takes only a few minutes to fight against such powerful generals as Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang who have been tempered by swords and swords for several years. will be defeated by the opponent.
To put it bluntly, Liao Hua at the beginning was barely able to compete with Zhang Yan when the system was offline. Once Zhang Yan used his fame to activate the system's proxy attack function, Liao Hua would soon be defeated.
But now, in just a few months, Liao Hua has quickly polished his body with the help of Pei Yuanshao and others, and has officially been promoted from a low-level level to the ranks of third-rate generals.
Of course, the term "third-rate generals" is just a way of evaluating each other among warriors. Perhaps the so-called third-rate generals sound very rubbish, but compared with most leading generals in this era, this is already a Among all the generals, the strength ranks in the top ten percent.
Just like a certain yellow maoker APP of Zhang Yan’s later life, just reaching the level of monthly income of 1000 yuan, it has surpassed more than 90.00% of the authors on the entire website, which can be called a standout existence.
In the somewhat special era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the so-called third-rate was already the strongest combat power that a local prefect had under normal circumstances.
Different from the weakened appearance when he first joined Zhang Yan, Liao Hua has become a lot stronger than before after half a year of polishing, and his stature has also suddenly increased by a section, almost reaching the height of more than seven feet. the point.
And his weapon, along with the improvement of his own strength, has changed from a one-handed sword at the beginning to a long lance with an astonishing weight.
If they really fight, even with the help of the system, it will be difficult for Zhang Yan to get any benefits from the current Liao Hua.
Not only in terms of personal strength, but now under the guidance of Xu Huang and others, Liao Hua has gradually become familiar with the techniques of leading troops in battle and deploying troops.
Although this kind of thing is not like personal strength, it takes a certain amount of time to accumulate to be able to achieve something, but judging from the current progress, it may not be too long before Liao Hua wants to lead the army independently .
At most, as long as he is given a period of time to familiarize himself with the common sense of leading troops in combat and to accumulate some experience in actually leading troops, Liao Hua can truly become a military commander and begin to bloom his own brilliance in the land of China.
……
"Yuan Jian, why didn't you practice martial arts in the martial arts field today?"
"I remember that at this time in the past, you would spend two hours to familiarize yourself with the usage of long weapons, right?"
"Why, come to see me for something?"
Withdrawing his scattered thoughts, Xu Huang asked Liao Hua with a smile.
In front of him, Liao Hua put the long lance in his hand on the ground, and then he cupped his fists towards Xu Huang, and the clear voice sounded again.
……
"General, there is indeed something wrong."
"Just now, news came from the news reports around our camp, saying that there is an army formation coming from the north towards the buried hill. The number of people is about 2 to [-], and the target is our camp."
"If my guess is correct, apart from General Pei, there may not be another force of this size in Lujiang."
"This is probably the helper the lord sent us."
"Look, general, do you want to go out together to greet him?"
He simply told what he had seen and heard outside the camp, and Liao Hua's face was showing a hint of eagerness at the moment.
Like a sharp sword, he has been honed for a long time in the hands of Xu Huang and others, and it is the time when he is extremely eager for Shanyue, the sword-testing stone.Previously, Xu Huang was limited by the number of his own side, and he had not been allowed to take the initiative to attack the camps in the buried hills. Liao Hua had long been impatient.
Swallowed slightly, although Liao Hua's appearance was still calm and calm at this time, his eyes were extremely sharp and sharp under the cover of his arched hands.
Seeing him like this, Xu Huang naturally laughed, and stood up with him.
Now, as soon as the reinforcements from the northern city of Anhui arrived, there were more than [-] people from the two sides together, so it was time to start a direct battle with those Shanyue.
For Xu Huang's thoughts, Liao Hua also knew a little bit. It was nothing more than not fighting unprepared battles, and second not fighting battles with no chance of winning. It can be said that the word "cautious" was brought to the extreme.
Now, when the advantages in numbers and intelligence are already on their side, the influence of the location of the buried hill on the officers and soldiers is naturally suppressed to the minimum.
……
"OK!."
"In this case, then Yuan Jian, you will go to greet me with me, just in time to finalize the battle plan for this time!"
"It's been almost [-] or [-] hours since I sent someone to deliver the letter yesterday, and I finally got this guy Pei Yuanshao."
"There is a saying in the ancient art of war: Bing is expensive and quick, and late makes changes."
"Now that our soldiers and horses are ready and we have plenty of food and grass, before those thieves react, it's a good time to start a decisive battle with those thieves!"
Laughing loudly and stepping out of the tent, Xu Huang took the reins from the attendants outside the camp, and then led Liao Hua, and the two of them rode their horses one after the other towards the north gate of the tent.
Chapter 47 Reinforcements
……
A while later, at the north gate of the camp, Xu Huang and Liao Hua smoothly greeted Pei Yuanshao and others who had come to support with troops.
This time, in order to be able to cooperate with Xu Huang's actions and wipe out those Shanyue forces all at once, Zhang Yan can be said to have spent a lot of money. Except for the three thousand cavalry who could not adapt to mountain warfare, who did not appear, even the most powerful among the sword and shield fighters The two elite battalions were all mobilized by him.
As I said before, the soldiers of these two battalions are all from good families, and they are the strongest troops in the entire army except for the longbowmen.This is Zhang Yan's intention to form a truly strong army in the mid-term, and he specially reserved it, intending to use it as a team of his "special arms" in the future.
It is precisely because of this that these people are naturally carefully selected, and they are far stronger than ordinary people.
Now a total of 1 people went south all the way under the leadership of Pei Yuanshao. It only took one day to go all the way south from Wancheng, cross the Wanhe River, and reach the vicinity of the buried mountain where Pei Yuanshao and others are located.
And Xu Huang noticed from a distance that a group of people were rushing towards his camp, so he was naturally overjoyed, and then he took Liao Hua, and the two of them patted their horses one after the other and greeted them in the direction of the people.
Before the people arrived, the well-organized army formation was separated from the middle, and a middle-aged general in his thirties rode out. He was the commander of this army, the first under Zhang Yan to serve His general: Pei Yuanshao.
When the two met, the thunderous voice resounded between the two rough people.
……
"Haha, you guys are finally here!"
"I've been waiting here for a long time!"
Among the two, Xu Huang was the first to speak out, bowing his hands to Pei Yuanshao politely, and there was a faint smile on his tired face before.
And that Pei Yuanshao naturally laughed, and then he turned around and pointed at the soldiers behind him, his whole body was like a ball of fire, he hurriedly grabbed Xu Huang's sleeve, his eyes seemed to want to What kind of light bursts out.
"General Xu, don't worry, I brought someone here?"
"This time you wrote to the lord for help, bluntly saying that there are too many thieves, and your [-] soldiers can't fight it, so the lord ordered me to come here immediately with an army to help you."
"This time we are waiting for an elite team. Except for the two generals Yang and Han who have not yet arrived, I will bring you all the remaining [-] people!"
"Why, these thieves are really as powerful as you said, and they can't even do anything to five thousand elite soldiers?"
He laughed and patted Xu Huang's shoulder. Since both of them were on the horse at the moment, Pei Yuanshao didn't hook Xu Huang's shoulders like before, but straightened his back, as if he was going to be under his hands. It's like showing off your majesty in front of the soldiers.
It's just that in his mouth, there are constant vulgar words, and the ruffian that has always been looked down upon by his peers can be said to be fully exposed.
"Take me there quickly, let me try these thieves, is it enough to give you Grandpa Pei a test!"
With a "clang" sound, he pulled out the big knife from his waist, only to see the cold light on the blade, but there was a slight gap. It was when Pei Yuanshao followed Zhang Yan to purchase weapons for his soldiers. The trace left by the Zha Jia test knife bestowed by Liu Hong.
And this has also become Pei Yuanshao's unique mark among the officers and soldiers in the barracks.
When it comes to this weapon and armor, most ordinary people like some exquisite and perfect items with relatively small wear and tear. For example, once the gap of this big knife is broken, the price in the market will drop by more than [-]% to [-]%.
But for some reason, Pei Yuanshao is a bit special, he just loves these weapons with some defects, and he has a special liking for the big knife that he broke with his own hands.
Over time, in the barracks under Zhang Yan's command, as long as the big knife with a broken edge is mentioned, all the soldiers will subconsciously think of the laughing commander, which has almost become a part of everyone's mind. a habit.
And seeing Pei Yuanshao's look of being fond of putting it down, Zhang Yan couldn't say much.Since the big knife is just a little unsightly after it breaks and does not affect the actual use, then Zhang Yan will let him go.
On the contrary, this time, after seeing his commander draw his sword, the soldiers behind Pei Yuanshao also drew their swords subconsciously.
