Chapter 39 The Method of Dividing the Army

"Heh, you guys..."

……

Looking at the many generals who knelt on the ground one after another in front of him and were "forcing the palace" against him, the restlessness in Zhang Yan's heart receded a little, replaced by a sense of warmth.

Even at this time, these guys are still supporting themselves in this way, no matter who they are, they will feel the kind of heartfelt touch.

……

It's just a pity that from the moment of "tossing the coin", in fact, no matter what the result is, I already have a decision in my heart that I want to stick to.

I just spoke out to ask everyone, but it was just to make my thoughts more firm.

He shook his head with a smile, and then said to everyone:

"Your kindness... I appreciate it, but let's talk about it next time."

"I have made up my mind. This time, I will make Danyang Mountain pay more. I didn't deal with the people who dared to rob the people yesterday. They dare to attack the prince today. If I don't deal with the prince today, they will be punished tomorrow." Don’t you want to go to Luo blatantly, overthrow our Han regime, and rebuild the Yue Kingdom?”

"Hehe, if these guys don't teach them some lessons and don't let them pay the real price, they will never learn what it means to be honest and obedient."

"So, no matter what, in this battle, we have to cooperate with the other two troops to save the little prince... It is best to catch that bastard Zu Lang, hang him to death, and hang his body at the gate of Jing County Three days is enough to deter these mountains!"

……

"As for Lujiang, sorry, everyone, I also don't want to abandon them."

"Weak people adapt to the environment and make choices. As strong people, what we have to do is to change the environment, not to act according to the other party's ideas!"

"Danyang's victories and Lujiang's safety, this time, I want them all!"

"Anyway, the cavalry is of little significance to the siege of the city. This time on the frontal battlefield, the battle will be dominated by siege and encirclement. On the contrary, the cavalry has a great advantage in rushing to help."

"You...you should all be old people who have been with me for a long time, so you understand what I mean, right?"

……

Hehe smiled and patted Pei Yuanshao on the shoulder, and Zhang Yan pulled him up from the ground.

……

"what do you mean?"

Looking at his lord hesitantly, Pei Yuanshao seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't believe it.

Speaking of this kind of situation, it seemed to have happened once when it was near Taiyuan.

……

"That's right, as expected of the general who followed me from the very beginning; Lao Pei, you still understand me."

Showing his white back molars to Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others, this time, Zhang Yan smiled comfortably.

"This time, you guys will lead the army to the north according to the plan, and cooperate with the troops of Yang Feng, Hu Cai and others to encircle and suppress Shanyue. There must be no mistakes!"

"And this prefect..."

"This prefect will bring the three thousand cavalry from this army back to aid Wancheng."

……

"I'd like to see whether the army sent by Zu Lang's son to attack thousands of miles away is stronger or weaker than the army of Mrs. Guo's thieves back then!"

"I think in the past, when I was only a thousand people, I dared to deal with Mrs. Guo in Taiyuan. Now that I have replaced the three thousand elite cavalry who are fully armed, maybe when I defeat this surprise army head-on, you still don't know what to do." We failed to encircle Wan City!"

"At that time, you don't need to support me, but I will continue to lead people eastward to support you!"

……

Laughing loudly, he said to the few people in front of him that Zhang Yan's calculations were actually very clear.

After less than half a month of fighting, they have almost grasped the basic situation in Danyang area, and even those who are not familiar with marching formations can easily guess the upcoming battle.

It was nothing more than an offensive and defensive capture around Jing County and its surroundings.

In other words, in the previous period of time, they had already fought all the field encounters that they might have to fight in this expedition, and the rest was nothing more than siege.

Anyone with a good brain can understand the weakness of the cavalry to attack the city.

Unlike infantry, which can launch all kinds of siege actions, no matter how elite the cavalry is, no matter how luxurious the equipment is, it is impossible for the cavalry to attack the city wall on horseback, right?

That is what another weapon of war "tank" should do thousands of years later, not what cavalry should do.

As a unit with specialized mobility, cavalry, let alone play a role in siege warfare like artillery, I am afraid that it would be very difficult not to add chaos to them as a burden.

As a result, Zhang Yan only felt that it would be better to hand over the cavalry to him, and divide the two groups of troops.

……

For the first soldier Masi who originally needed to encircle and attack the city, the temporary loss of a dispensable cavalry unit did not have a serious impact on their subsequent strategic intentions.

For Zhang Yan, the characteristics of cavalry units suitable for long-distance raids are exactly what he needs.

If they slowly return to Lujiang with these infantry, then maybe by the time they arrive, Lujiang and Wancheng will have already been beaten down.

By then, it will all be too late.

On the contrary, with these cavalry who are not good at siege, relying on the grassland horses with excellent endurance, they can fight all the way back to Lujiang Forte from here in a day's work at most.

As for 3000 people facing more than 2 enemy troops, would it be too dangerous...

This is also impossible.

Although it is a big taboo in combat to be outnumbered, but sometimes, the conditions are not always on your side.

What Zhang Yan can do is to try his best to be more cautious in his actions, and try not to confront the other party head-on.

As for the chances of winning... This kind of thing is really too extravagant for his small group of returning troops.

……

"what?"

"This, how can this work!"

"I will never agree to this!"

……

Hearing that Zhang Yan was planning to enter the dangerous situation alone again, Pei Yuanshao and the others could no longer sit still, and stood up suddenly.

……

"My lord, I know that you care about the safety of the people in Lujiang, but you are no longer alone. When doing things, you must always think of other people!"

"It's really impossible, it's really impossible, let me, or brother Zhou Cang go back to Lujiang for you, and let you sit in this army, it's better than letting you lead such a small number of people into the crowd of people in Shanyue?! "

"The safety of Lujiang is important, but your safety is not bad at all, isn't it?"

"Please also think about it carefully, if something goes wrong on your trip, then the mistress is alone, what will you do in the future?"

"How will the millions of people in Lujiang live in the future?"

"I think, if they knew about this matter based on their temperament, they would definitely not want you to make such a decision because of their safety!"

……

Chapter 40

Hurriedly stopping in front of Zhang Yan, Pei Yuanshao blushed anxiously at this moment, and at the same time, there was a look of regret in his eyes.

He regretted a little, if Zhang Yan really did such a thing because of what he said just now, then he would not be able to clear up the crime.

But facing the crowd in front of him, Zhang Yan's expression at this moment was extremely firm.

He sighed, then put his palm on Pei Yuanshao's shoulder, and patted him lightly.

"Don't talk too much."

"I've already figured it out. This trip is certainly risky, but compared to the lives of all the people, what is I alone?"

"Indeed, you are right. If Ying'er knew about this, he would definitely not want me to do such a thing."

"therefore……"

……

"So, at least this time, let me be a selfish person. I don't want to suffer the pain of losing others, whether it's my family or the people under my rule, I don't want to lose."

"Promise me, don't tell that guy Lu Su what happened this time, otherwise, I'm afraid he will definitely lecture me again before I reach Lujiang."

"Let me be selfish just once...just once."

……

Now that the commander-in-chief of the entire army has made up his mind, there is nothing to say about this matter.

With Zhang Yan's character, although he can't be called a freak who can't listen to people's words, if it's something he decides, it's definitely not so easy to change.

After handing over the command of the army to Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Yan hurriedly left with the three cavalry battalions of the first soldier Ma Si.

As for the rest of the people, they began to discuss involuntarily. When they went north to Wanling, how should they and others kill Zu Lang as quickly as possible and return to aid as soon as possible.

Although Zhang Yan also said before that if the battle goes well on his side, it might not take long before he will come back first.

At that time, it may not be known who will support whom.

But these words are a bit childish in the eyes of the battle-tested people.

With three thousand against twenty thousand, can you finish the fight as soon as possible and win the battle?

Such legendary things are rare in real wars.

Therefore, Pei Yuanshao and others also understood that their lord was just comforting them.

……

"Hey, if the lord is in danger now, even if we succeed in taking down Zulang this time and pacifying the troubles in the mountains and mountains in the east of the Jiangdong, the loss outweighs the gain."

After a while, when Zhang Yan had taken the lead to leave the tent, Zhou Cang knelt in the tent, stroked the big knife in his hand, and muttered to himself.

……
