Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

It's not that he doesn't know how to march and fight. With a figure of more than 1.8 meters, as long as he wears a suit of armor, who can not treat Lu Su as a general?

Now, as a military strategist, he seems to be well-planned and majestic, but how can he actually resist the temptation to leave his name in history?

"My lord, I don't know if we can also enter this weapon spectrum?"

In the end, it was Xu Huang who looked around at the people around him, and Yang Feng took the initiative to push him to the front of the stage, and asked Zhang Yan a question.

……

"you?"

"Oh, of course not."

But he didn't want to, Zhang Yan shook his head decisively.

"The people recorded in this weapon book are all famous generals who have passed away. Now that you are all still alive and well, why do you have to compete with a group of dead people for status?"

……

"Oh... so my lord said, as long as I die in battle, I will have a chance to be on this list and leave my name in future generations, right?"

I don't know if I was really confused, but Pei Yuanshao suddenly added this sentence from the side.

As soon as the saying "as long as I wait to die in battle" came out, everyone burst into laughter, and even Pei Yuanshao himself couldn't help laughing.

……

"Haha, okay, okay, look at you like that."

"Old Pei, don't worry, I can assure you that as long as you fight bravely on the battlefield, I will definitely give you a place on the weapon list when you really die in battle!"

Laughing and patting Pei Yuanshao's shoulder, Zhang Yan felt that the air around him became much more lively than before.

"Okay, then it's a deal!"

"My lord, you are the honor of the eunuch, the lord of the marquis, you must not lie to me!"

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuanshao was not annoyed when he heard what Zhang Yan said. Instead, he smiled and cupped his hands at Zhang Yan, with a happy smile on his face.

After dealing with this group of excited generals, Zhang Yancai turned his attention back to the previous siege battle.

……

Looking at this battle, from the [-]:[-] o'clock last night until the cock crowed at dawn, several hours brought Zhang Yan an undisputed victory.

It's just that compared to the battle where Zhao Yun rode his horse for dozens of miles and finally captured the head of the enemy general Fan Chou, Zhang Yan obviously cared more about the fight on the frontal battlefield.

On the main battlefield near the city gate, generals such as Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Li Le, and Hu Cai joined forces to resist the encirclement and suppression of more than 1 enemy troops with an army formed by more than 3 soldiers.

Although the sound of fighting on the battlefield was shocking, but Zhang Yan really wanted to count the casualties, but Zhang Yan found that there were only a few hundred soldiers killed on his side.

Perhaps it was due to the long-term high-intensity training that brought these soldiers better performance, or it may simply be because the opponent's front-line general Li Su was beheaded by the coalition generals, and the soldiers defending the city were just rushing to kill After a while, as if losing their fighting spirit, they gradually collapsed and fled.

After the city gate was opened by everyone and the [-] troops outside entered Anyi City together, the confrontation between the two sides on the frontal battlefield almost turned into a one-sided massacre.

According to post-war statistics, the coalition forces on Zhang Yan's side suffered only 420 casualties after a major battle, most of which were minor injuries, and less than 500%, that is, about [-] people died directly on the battlefield.

Relying on a large amount of medicine supply and advanced wounded treatment technology, [-]% of the slightly injured soldiers can return to their battle order in almost no time.

On the other side of the defenders, the casualties were much greater.

Chapter 58 Up North or Down South?

According to statistics, more than 6000 of the [-] soldiers assembled by the defenders were killed.This was obtained by Lu Su sending people to identify and count the corpses one by one.

As for the people who were killed to the point of collapse and fled in all directions, there were even countless people.

These wounded soldiers and those deserters were finally taken as prisoners of war and were controlled by Zhang Yan's soldiers.

It is worth noting that among the many wounded soldiers, there is one unit that seems to be a little different.

That's right, it was the Huben army directly under Li Su.

As a general of Huben Zhonglang personally appointed by the imperial court, Li Su can be said to have brought out all his old background this time.

It's a pity that one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted.

Facing the soldiers who continued to attack the city, these Huben troops could only accept the fact that they were defeated in humiliation.

After the war, seeing the casualty rate of the Huben army exceeding 50.00%, even Zhang Yan, who was used to seeing big scenes, had to feel terrified by it.

This is not a modern war in which tens of thousands of people will die at any time in future generations. In a cold weapon war, if anyone can really say such stupid things as a casualty rate of 50.00%, they will be put on the forums of future generations. Others laughed at him to death.

It's like the decision that the ancient army should make if the casualty rate exceeds [-]% and then disperses and surrenders.

Now, these tiger guards from the Luoyang Imperial Palace have used their own lives to warn Zhang Yan that even those truly elite troops who were big men 2000 years ago can still face death without changing their faces, even After the god of death came to him, he didn't forget to drag one or two enemies to die with him.

In contrast, the fully equipped infantry units under Zhang Yan who were in charge of fighting against the Huben army were also the ones that suffered the most losses among the three armies under Zhang Yan's command.

The 4000-member army lost at least one-third of it after this battle.

Most of the soldiers among them were directly hit by blunt objects on their armor, causing the armor to deform, squeeze their chest cavity, and suffocate to death inside.

When Zhang Yan saw the tragic death of those soldiers, even he couldn't help feeling extremely painful in his heart.

……

This is not an armor that can be made casually with money.

This is not a soldier who can be recruited casually with food.

Although Zhang Yan had never given him a proper "designation" for the 4000-strong army due to his own status, every soldier in it was an elite fighter who had been trained by Lujiang for several years.

Every soldier is a peerless hero who looks down on the battlefield and has no opponents.

One-third of such an army was killed, and the loss to Zhang Yan was extremely huge in terms of human lives alone.

God knows how long Zhang Yan will have to recruit and train again before he can rebuild such a well-trained army?

Coupled with the light armor on them...

This thing is not a product that can be mass-produced by pure machinery.

Even in the current Lujiang, if you want to mass-produce this kind of heavy armor, you have to gather hundreds or thousands of craftsmen to work day and night to barely produce one or two.

To put it a bit exaggerated, Zhang Yan would rather spend hundreds of catties of brass to cast artillery than to spend a lot of labor to build these armors.

The loss in this battle was enough to make Zhang Yan feel distressed for a long time.

……

Fortunately, all these sacrifices are meaningful.

After the battle last night, Anyi collapsed and fell into Zhang Yan's hands.

And Anyi is an important town in Hedong. As long as Anyi is in hand, even if Zhang Yan doesn't deliberately send troops to attack the remaining counties, it will not threaten the passage of his coalition army.

Now, Fan Chou, the general of Dong Zhuo's army, is dead, Li Su has also been decapitated by Li Le and others, and the entire gate of Hedong has been opened to Zhang Yan.

As long as you go westward along this road for a short distance, you will arrive at the Sishui Pass, the first pass to guard Luoyang through the ages.

If Zhang Yan remembers correctly, Yuan Shao led a heavy army to attack Sishuiguan before, but was killed by an unknown general for more than [-] miles, and almost lost his life on the battlefield.

As soon as the opponent retreated, the situation in the entire Luoyang East became Zhang Yan's family advancing alone, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian confronted the enemy on their respective routes.

In other words, the current Zhang Yan has become the only free man who can move at will among the five-way allied forces of the Kwantung princes.

……

Is it going to Suanzao to help the defeated Cao Cao regroup his troops and go to Luoyang together?

Or go north to Chaoge, go to Shangdang County to attack Niu Fu's army, and help Sun Jian relieve the siege?

In just a few seconds, Zhang Yan made a decision.

If you go to Cao Cao's place, you may be able to meet your defeated brothers, and even have the opportunity to have more contact with Liu Bei and others.

This is definitely good for Zhang Yan personally.

But unfortunately, he is the leader of this alliance.

Even if we don't say forgetting selfishness because of public affairs, Zhang Yan's every move must be in line with his status as the leader of the alliance.

……

Now, Sun Jian's subordinates are still supporting the party. As the leader of the alliance, how can he watch the members of the alliance deal with the crisis alone?

How is that different from the original Yuan Shu?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan took a deep breath, and put down the battle report that recorded a lot of information in his hand.

……

"The army obeys my orders."

A simple sentence made everyone present stand silent:

"Pass on my order. The whole army will rest here for a day, and then Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, will lead the army to guard this place. The rest of the troops will rectify their troops and horses, and follow me to the north to Chaoge to support Marquis Sun Jian of Wucheng!"

"Wu Chenghou sent scouts to us two days ago to send a message that there is a large number of soldiers under the command of the traitor Dong Zhuo near Shangdang, at least tens of thousands."

"Shangdang County is not considered wealthy, the county's eldest son county is sparsely populated, and the granaries in the city are even more scarce."

"We must rescue Wu Chenghou before Dong Zhuo's army captures the eldest son!"

……

With an order, everyone who had just recovered from a great battle suddenly fell into a new round of busyness.

Local people such as Yang Feng and Han Xian began to gather the remnants of their troops, and from Dong Zhuo's soldiers, they selected solid characters and strong bodies to add to their army.

Zhao Yun is even more direct.

As the only general under Zhang Yan's command who is good at riding, Zhao Yun is now assigned a difficult task by Zhang Yan.

That is to persuade some soldiers to surrender from the nearly 8000 captured Xiliang cavalry soldiers in Anyi County to join their own cavalry troops.

In the near future, they will serve as the vanguard of the entire army and take the lead in supporting the vicinity of Shangdang County to fight against the Xiliang army led by Niu Fu.

……

Also, there are a total of [-] horses... Not to mention the Kwantung Allied Forces today, even when he was working under Gongsun Zan, he had never seen so many horses!

Cavalry may refuse Zhao Yun's solicitation, but mounts will not.

After Zhao Yunman had exhausted his plans to replenish his cavalry to 5000, he was pleasantly surprised to find that these cavalry under his command were already rich enough to have one man and two horses, and replace them for riding.
