Dong Zhuang, who returned to the Sanchuan army station, glanced at the three regiment commanders in front of him, Xie Dong of the first regiment, Mao Afu of the second regiment, and Song Tao of the third regiment, and the table was knocked by him, "You all listen well, the army commander has handed over the task of the vanguard to our third division, which is an affirmation of us, let us be the vanguard, that means that our division is the strongest." Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong were so angry that their faces turned white, hahaha! Especially Gao Chengdong, this time he is a reserve team, even worse than Cui Chengxiu, let me ask you, do we have the confidence to win this battle?"

"Absolutely!" The three regiment commanders shouted. There is no need for a division, just the enemy in Pengcheng, our third division will clean them up, let them follow us and eat fart!" Mao Afu, the commander of the second regiment, patted his chest, "Division commander, the task of our division will be handed over to our second regiment."

"When it is the turn of the second regiment to attack the fortification, this has always been the task of our first regiment." Xie Dong unceremoniously squeezed Mao Afu aside, "The confrontation within the division, but I will win the return, and the task of the vanguard will naturally belong to us."

"Feng Shui takes turns, come to my house this year, Lao Xie, don't forget, you did win the last military exercise, but how many soldiers did you win?" Mao Afu smiled, "If it weren't for the division commander's partiality and the suspension of the exercise, I would organize another counterattack, would you be able to bear it?"

"What the hell do you call me eccentric?" Dong Zhuang rolled his eyes dissatisfied, "Your two regiments have already fought red eyes, the troops have already suffered casualties, if you go again, there will be problems, we are an exercise, not infighting, okay, this time the attack, the first regiment will let one go, and the second regiment will do it, but Mao Afu, I can talk ugly words to the front, if you can't complete the task, you kid, the regiment commander, will be the end, and I will be a soldier in the next company."

"Rest assured, commander." Mao Afu jumped up suddenly, and said happily, the first regiment is the main force of the third regiment, whether it is personnel or equipment, it is the best, he was just holding a glimmer of hope to fight for it, but he didn't expect to succeed all of a sudden, Xie Dong's face next to him was green, and Song Tao looked even more regretful, he knew that this was the case, and he should also fight. It's good now, it's cheaper.

Pulled over the map, shook it away, Dong Zhuang directly spread the map on the ground, the four of them sat cross-legged around the map, Dong Zhuang pointed to the location of Peng Cheng drawn with charcoal on the map.

"Since our army entered Suiyang, our third division was stationed in Sanchuan, the people of Chu have been constantly increasing troops towards Pengcheng, because they also know very well that once Pengcheng is captured by us, then the entire Xuzhou will be cut down by us, according to intelligence, now Pengcheng is stationed in the regular army of Chu more than 10,000 people, pay attention, this is not a miscellaneous army of Chu, but their elite troops, the general Bi Xuan is the personal guard of the Taiwei of Chu, and he is deeply respected, and he has just been transferred to Pengcheng for less than three months, This is a figure that we need to pay attention to."

"It doesn't matter what kind of character he is, if he encounters our Han army, he will still be deflated, is he still stronger than Qu Wan?" Xie Dong dismissively said authentically.

"That's a good thing to say!" Mao Afu laughed, "Qu Wan is known as the first general under the condescension of the Chu State, and he is a first-class figure in the Chu State, but when he was in Linyi, he was not beaten by us."

"Okay, okay, don't nest in your own house, whether Chu Jun is a bear or not, whether you are a hero or not, you will find out soon." Dong Zhuang knocked on the map, "In addition to Bi Xuan's 15,000 regular army, Pengcheng also has nearly 5,000 local guards, and in addition, the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan have also sent back some local gentry to organize some local armed forces, the specific number is ominous, about 2,000 to 3,000 people."

"Commander, these local nurses don't have to be counted, right?" Song Tao said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate these people, the Supervision Yuan specifically mentioned this in the intelligence, these local armed forces organized by the gentry are only stronger than the local guards." Dong Zhuang said: "In battle, don't underestimate any opponent, the lion fights the rabbit, and you must use all your strength."

"The division commander is right!" The three of them nodded their heads one after another.

"Okay, now let's talk about the specific deployment!" Dong Zhuang said: "Mao Afu's second regiment as a pioneer, the first thing you have to take is Tucheng, this is the first checkpoint to Pengcheng, in Tucheng, Bi Xuan stationed a team of about 1,000 people, it should be noted that about ten miles away from Tucheng, there is a big landlord, I heard that there are tens of thousands of acres of land at home, and there is a whole street of shops in the city, this person has an ominous number of people in his hands."

"The inspectorate's spies didn't find out?" Xie Dong said strangely: "There are also bones that they can't gnaw on?"

"They have more bones that they can't gnaw on!" Mao Afu sneered: "Teacher, a Zhuangzi, there should not be many people!"

"No, there must be a lot of people." Dong Zhuang said: "Because this Zhuangzi is a completely closed nature, the people who come in and out of it are familiar faces, outsiders can't get in at all, and the spies of the Supervision Institute only look at it from a distance, this Zhuangzi not only has a high wall, but also has a watchtower, looking at the opening shape of the watchtower, the spies are sure that there are heavy weapons such as bed crossbows inside."

"A Zhuangzi, I'm afraid that he doesn't have the courage to provoke us, don't pay attention to him!" Mao Afu was dismissive.

"Ah Fu, this time we are going out to fight, any possibility must be considered, don't be careless, when I was in the advanced military training class of Jicheng Comprehensive University, the king came up to give us a lesson in person, and the king once said in the classroom that any small accident may cause the defeat of a major battle, and the embankment of thousands of miles will be destroyed in the anthill. Ah Fu, when you are fighting Tucheng, you must remember to send a team to guard this Zhuangzi."

"Got it, Commander!" Mao Afu nodded.

"In Sixi, fifty miles away from Bi Xuan's garrison, the local guards of Pengcheng are stationed, as the horns of Pengcheng, Xie Dong, your battalion, the main attack is this guard, when Mao Afu attacks Pengcheng after taking Tucheng, you should appear on the right side of Pengcheng in time."

"Understood!" Xie Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry, division commander, I will definitely arrive on time!"

"The distance you have to attack is farther than that of the second regiment, although the combat effectiveness of the local guard army is not as good as that of the elite of the Chu army, but after all, it is five thousand people, and you will not be easier than the second regiment."

"Don't worry, division commander, what kind of goods are the local guards of Chu State, we don't know in our hearts, not to mention that they will collapse at the touch of a button, but they really can't bear the fight, Ah Fu, you have to speed up, don't wait for me to destroy the five thousand guards under Pengcheng, but you are still grinding in Tucheng, when it really comes, I will honestly and unceremoniously do it first, don't blame me for robbing you of the task." Xie Dong laughed.

"You think beautifully, you, let's work harder first, don't wait for me to enter Pengcheng, you are still running on the road!" Mao Afu shot back.

"Song Tao, your three regiments, as a reserve, must also ensure the smooth flow of logistics roads for the supply of the two regiments in front, after all, it is an enemy fighting in the territory, and the people of the other side will not give us a good face, let alone raise their hands to welcome us."

"Yes, Captain!"

"I'll take the troops directly under the division headquarters to follow. Great Han Army, Wan Sheng!" Dong Zhuang stood up and stretched out his hand.

The four big hands were clasped tightly together, "Great Han Army, Wan Sheng!"

"Action!" Dong Zhuang said sharply.

Tucheng, the Chu army guard general Yu Ping was inspecting his position, Tucheng did not have a strong city wall, and on both sides of the road leading to Pengcheng, the terrain was used to build a solid defensive position. Looking back at the direction of Pengcheng, Yu Ping was in a heavy mood, and the order given to him by General Bi Xuan was to defend Tucheng to the death, and not to retreat even to the point of fighting, and opposite him was the troops of the newly formed First Army, the main corps of the Han army, which had a strength of 3,000 men.

For this army, Yu Ping is no stranger, as two armies facing each other on the border, Yu Ping will naturally understand the opponent opposite, the new first army since the day of its formation, it has been fighting viciously, especially in the battle with the elite troops of the former Qi Guotian Dan in the Kunshan Pass, so that they are famous all over the world, and later marched into the Qi country, the army is even more overwhelming, and the Qi army is terrified, and this time, it is his turn to understand the power of this army. One to three troops, and the opponent may increase troops at any time, and he can't get reinforcements, if there are reinforcements, it can only be Liu Yiqing, the big landlord of Green Willow Village more than ten miles from Tucheng, but Liu Yiqing only has about 500 subordinates in his hands, and what is the combat effectiveness of these guardians, Yu Ping is deeply skeptical. Maybe it's good for them to fight alone, but it's hard to say if they can block a blow from the regular army when they assemble as an army.

I am destined to be abandoned. Yu Ping sighed in his heart, but he didn't hate Bi Xuan in his heart, because when he explained the task, Bi Xuan had already made it clear to himself the meaning of letting him stick to Tucheng, and clearly told himself that if he didn't want to, he could not go.

How can you not go? If you don't go and stay in Pengcheng, your military career will end here, which is a shame for a professional soldier.

I'd rather die on the battlefield than steal life in shame, for the sake of the Chu State. In the big war last year, the Han fought on two fronts, but defeated the two behemoths of Qin and Chu, and by the way, the Qi State was also included in the bag, and the power was large and aggressive, on the border of Han and Chu, the Han army concentrated three front armies, Bai Yucheng's Qilu Army, Zhang Hongyu's new First Army, and Xu Yuan's Northern Field Army, the ambition of Chu State was not concealed at all, if it was not contained, Chu State was too passive on top of strategy. In order to recoup the strategic disadvantage, a victory is needed.

"Die and die, as long as it is worthwhile!" Yu Ping held the saber on his waist, looked at the soldiers who were raising and reinforcing the position, and shouted: "Hurry up, build stronger, the enemy has come, these robbers have robbed us of a large area of our land, and now, they still want to take away the land that belongs to us from us, we are here, let them know that we are Dachu, and we cannot be insulted."
