Chapter 46: Encirclement and Separation
As soon as Zhou Yukun's words fell, everyone present cast puzzled eyes. This kid is not very old, and it is estimated that he has just arrived in the dream world, what ability does he have to dictate this war?
I saw a strong man behind Guo Chengyan snort angrily, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but was interrupted by Guo Chengyan raising his hand, and instead looked at Zhou Yukun with a calm face: "Little brother, since you think it's not good to arrange it like this, then what better plan do you have?" I'll hear it. β
Zhou Yukun took a deep breath, at this moment he was also ready to send it, and after organizing the language in his mind, he slowly walked to the side of the map and raised his finger in one place: "Well, everyone, please look here." The Yellow Turban Army's current forces are mostly distributed in Jizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, but there are not too many troops in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Youzhou. Therefore, we should focus on the enemy's base camp in Jizhou this time. Brother Guo Chengyan, take the liberty of asking, how many soldiers do we have in our hands now? β
"There are not many soldiers, and in the six months I have been here, I have recruited about 5,000 men; Du Yong had three thousand; The Chen Weimin brothers had the smallest number of cavalry, only 500 cavalry. Guo Chengyan did not hide it, and introduced it truthfully.
Zhou Yukun nodded lightly: "Although I don't know the specific strength of the Yellow Turban Army, it must be much higher than us; And when it comes to the Star Chosen ones, we have fewer of them. Therefore, we cannot go head-to-head with them, and we must use guerrilla warfare to consume their combat effectiveness. Then, when arranging the lineup for the march, we cannot put all our forces into the frontal battlefield. β
Guo Chengyan groaned slightly: "Do you mean that Du Yong's army and I can't be sent to the front line at the same time, and we must ensure that a team of men and horses will be in the rear to deal with it?" β
"Yes and no. The area of Jizhou is not large, and most of the forces of the Yellow Turban Army are entrenched in Leling City, but one thing we can take advantage of is that the Yellow Turban Army is a group of crazy people. In their borders, the common people were either slaughtered or fled, so there was no one to farm at all. Then, now that more than half a year has passed, they can only send many teams to the field to rob them, so that their forces have become more dispersed, and we can break them one by one! β
Hearing this, Guo Chengyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed: "I understand, what do you mean to let us catch turtles in an urn, right?" Use the army to first make a simple encirclement on the outskirts of Jizhou, so that the people they have already sent out cannot come back, and then kill these small teams outside one by one. β
After a slight pause, he continued to say excitedly: "Not only that, the team that grabbed food outside did not come back, and the people inside lacked food, which is equivalent to weakening them. And we use our energetic soldiers to deal with the hungry and weak, why should we worry about not winning the war? β
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised Guo Chengyan's wisdom, but they forgot all of Zhou Yukun's reminders, or they knew it, but they just took this opportunity to pat Guo Chengyan on the back in order to win his attention.
Of course, Guo Chengyan was not confused because of the appreciation of these people, but patted Zhou Yukun on the shoulder seriously: "Little brother, if you win this battle, you will have to take the lead!" Haha, okay, I'll set up a banquet tonight to reward all the soldiers, and I'll act according to the plan tomorrow. It is bound to take down the lair of the Yellow Turban Thief in a short time! β
β¦β¦
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Guo Chengyan led the army and went straight to Jizhou.
Yesterday, Guo Chengyan had a separate talk with Zhou Yukun to discuss the specific distribution of military forces. After discussion between the two, it was decided that the arrangement would be as follows: first, Guo Chengyan himself led 5,000 infantry to block the border between Bingzhou and Jizhou in the west, because he had the largest number of troops, so he needed to control the largest area of Zhanì; secondly, Du Yong led 3,000 infantry to set up a blockade in Yanzhou, south of Jizhou; The last of Chen Weimin's cavalry team was responsible for roaming around the country to help those friendly troops who were in danger.
So, after today's army started, it was divided into three teams, one led by Guo Chengyan to the north to reach Bingzhou; the other was led by Du Yong to Yanzhou, south of Jizhou; At the forefront was Chen Weimin's cavalry, which was one step ahead to detect the enemy.
Following this pair of mighty teams, Zhou Yukun looked at the other team in the north with some nostalgia. Over there was the team headed north where Guan Canghai was, and he prayed silently in his heart: Brother Guan, you are my first friend in the dream realm, although your personality is a little strange, but you are a very good person. This time apart, I don't know when the next time we meet, I just hope you must live this time!
Yes, this time Zhou Yukun did not go with Guan Canghai, but came to Du Yong's team. Of course, this is all for the sake of the overall situation, the number of people on Du Yong's side is indeed relatively small, and although the border in the south is not long, most of the people in the south are relatively wealthy. Therefore, there will definitely be a lot of Yellow Turban Army sent to the south, and the pressure Du Yong will definitely face at that time, which is why Zhou Yukun came to assist.
Along the way, to Zhou Yukun's surprise, Du Yong, who had rarely communicated, took the initiative to talk to him, and the meaning of wooing between words was too obvious. From previous conversations, Zhou Yukun learned that this Du Yong and Guo Chengyan are sworn brothers, and it is said that they met when they first came to the dream world, and they have experienced many dangers and difficulties together.
But now it seems that perhaps these two men are not as peaceful as they seem. It is not difficult to judge from Du Yong's diligent actions that these two people are incompatible, each of them is silently developing their own strength, and they can't wait to cut off a piece of meat from another person and put it on their own body. In comparison, Zhou Yukun feels that Chen Weimin's three brothers seem to have very different personalities on the surface, but they have a family relationship that is harder than steel.
Finally, the army of Zhou Yukun and his party arrived near Chen Liucheng in Yanzhou in the evening. Under Du Yong's command, the army was stationed far outside the city, preparing to take the city tomorrow. After all, there are not many Yellow Turban troops in this city, and it is not difficult to take them down.
But who knows, Du Yong, who is not ready to attack the city, has encountered something that he can't laugh at, because he has seen the gate of Chen Liucheng being opened from a distance, and a team of only 100 people rushed out of the city.
Zhou Yukun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, the guards in the city are either stupid or blind, there are three thousand people on our side, but he only brought a hundred, it's not enough to even stuff his teeth!
Immediately decided, Du Yong directly raised his right arm and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, since they took the initiative to send the city out, what reason do we have not to accept it?" All the soldiers obeyed the order, and the whole army attacked!! β
After saying that, he turned over his horse and rushed to the enemy group first. Of course, he would not refuse a victory like this. What's more, after the victory, the army can enter the city to recuperate without being stationed outside, so why not.
So, this battle without suspense began. And what kind of changes will happen to Zhou Yukun, who began to experience the cruelty of war? We don't know......
