Chapter 798: Prepare for a Decisive Battle!
In fact, Zhang Gan interrupted Qiao Huashan's rebuttal, not because he lost his patience, but because he couldn't let Qiao Huashan continue, because when Qiao Huashan reported the movements of the Qin army, it was he Zhang Qian himself who swore that it would take three days for the Qin army to reach Peach Blossom Valley, and Qiao Huashan, in order to flatter Zhang Gan, also guaranteed that the Qin army would arrive in Peach Blossom Valley in at least three days.
But in fact, the Qin army arrived in the Peach Blossom Valley in less than half a day, causing the Southern Wei to pay huge casualties; If you lose the battle, someone will be responsible, and you need to punish it heavily to shock the hearts of the army, Zhang Gan, as the generalissimo, naturally can't punish himself heavily, so he can only let Qiao Huashan take the blame.
"Generalissimo, spare your life!"
"Generalissimo..."
"Poof!"
Qiao Huashan was quickly dragged out, and while being dragged out, Qiao Huashan kept begging loudly for mercy, and finally the begging for mercy suddenly stopped at a sound of chopping meat!
After killing Qiao Huashan, Zhang Qian ordered with a solemn expression: "Ordered the three armies, the scout battalion captain Qiao Huashan misreported the military situation, which led to the defeat of our army. ”
"The last general obeys!" The Great Tent shouted in unison with awe-filled expressions!
Zhang Gan's face calmed down, and he looked at the generals in a non-serious tone and said: "Let's get down to business now, the Northern Wei army has been almost wiped out by our army, at most 5,000 people, and now the biggest enemy of our army is the Qin army!" ”
"According to the scout's report, the Qin army's iron cavalry that entered the Peach Blossom Valley to help should be the vanguard cavalry of the Qin army, and they still have 50,000 foot soldiers behind, the elite level of the Qin army, you must have already understood it, and the commander has to admit that the Qin army does have two brushes!"
Zhang Tianbao stepped forward and said a little unconvinced: "Generalissimo, this is a sneak attack by the Qin army against our army, if you are vigilant in advance, the Qin army can step into the Peach Blossom Valley, and Li Bu is really cunning, the last general is to chase and kill, it took a lot of physical strength to defeat Yang Hu, the next battle, the last general will definitely want Li Bu and Yang Hu to die under the halberd of the last general!" ”
In the battle of Peach Blossom Valley, he lost the most, almost all of his 50,000 elite soldiers were wiped out, and even he was seriously injured, the serious injury was small, and the prestige was greatly damaged.
Now, his reputation as the god of war has been terminated by Yang Hu, and his prestige has been greatly damaged, and he will no longer be able to rely on his prestige to deter the morale of the enemy army in the future.
Zhang Qian fiddled with his white beard, and said calmly: "Li Bu old thief relative to Yang Hu, the person he hates the most is Yang Hu, Yang Hu is unobstructed, unscrupulous, simply arrogant, he doesn't take the old man and the Great Wei Dynasty in his eyes at all, if there is a chance, the old man will definitely kill him with his own hands!" ”
"But now is not the time to discuss this matter, the thing that should be discussed now should be how to defeat the Qin army, generals, what do you think?" Zhang Qian's eyes were like a moment, his eyes flashed with fine light, and he looked at the generals intently and said.
A Southern Wei general walked out of the queue, bent down to Zhang Qian with a respectful expression and saluted: "Generalissimo, the last general thinks that the Qin army has just entered the Peach Blossom Valley, and it must not be familiar with the terrain of the Peach Blossom Valley. ”
"It's not going to work!"
As soon as the words fell, another Southern Wei general immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt, and then hurriedly walked out of the queue, bent down to salute Zhang Qian, and said: "Generalissimo, the Qin army is indeed not familiar with the terrain of Peach Blossom Valley, but don't forget, the Northern Wei army still has remnants, and the commander of the Northern Wei army, Zuo Zhen, is not dead. ”
"With them, the Qin army will soon be familiar with the terrain of the Peach Blossom Valley, if our army goes deep into the valley, I am afraid that it will fall into the trap set by the Qin army, and then there will be heavy casualties, and the morale of our army will drop greatly, please think twice!"
After the Southern Wei general finished speaking, another Southern Wei general stood up and objected: "Generalissimo, in addition, the Qin army is well-equipped, and it is rumored that it is even equipped with eight-stone crossbows, if our army goes deep into the valley to guerrilla the Qin army, I am afraid that it will backfire!" ”
"Yes, yes!"
"That's right!"
The rest of the Southern Wei generals also expressed their attitudes, and they did not agree with the strategic plan of going deep into the valley and fighting the Qin army guerrilla, and hearing the statements of these generals, Zhang Qian, who originally had guerrilla plans, immediately dispelled this idea.
Zhang Qian took a deep breath and asked with a slightly solemn expression: "Since this is the case, then what strategy should our army use to defeat the Qin army?" ”
"Back to the generalissimo, the last general thinks that he can fight head-on with the Qin army!" Zhang Tianbao bent down solemnly and saluted.
"Head-to-head!"
The generals couldn't help but look at each other, and they could all see the worry flashing in each other's eyes.
Isn't that too risky?
After all, the Qin army is notoriously invincible!
"Keep talking!"
Although Zhang Qian also felt a bit risky, he still wanted to hear Zhang Tianbao's opinion.
After receiving Zhang Gan's reply, Zhang Tianbao immediately said: "Our army currently has 220,000 troops, which is double that of the Qin army, and we can't waste our strength advantage to take advantage of our shortcomings and make up for our strengths, so a head-on battle is the only way I can choose to win in the Southern Wei Dynasty at present!" ”
"Since our army is all infantry, and the Qin army has half of the cavalry, in terms of troops, our army is at a disadvantage, but we can secretly mobilize the soldiers and horses of the quicksand river to increase the strength of our army, and at the same time, we can also ask Your Majesty for help and pull all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized over!"
"As long as our army completely crushes the Qin army in terms of strength, there is a seventy percent chance of victory!"
Zhang Qian couldn't help frowning, looked at Zhang Tianbao thoughtfully, and asked, "You mean, fight a decisive battle with the Qin army?" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Tianbao replied with a solemn expression.
"It's too risky!"
"Yes, if our army is defeated, the overall situation has been decided, and it cannot be reversed!"
"This is a fight against the country!"
"General Tianbao wants to fight a decisive battle, and it is understandable, don't forget, my Great Wei no longer has much food to support the front-line campaign, and we must fight quickly, otherwise our army will fall into a situation where the food is out of every inch!"
"That makes sense!"
"It seems that we can only fight a decisive battle!"
There are still some generals who think that it is too risky to support, and some generals think that there is no way to fight a decisive battle, and if they do not fight quickly, logistics will be cut off.
Listening to the discussion of the generals, Zhang Qian couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking, can the decisive battle really win? If it is good to win and destroy the Qin army, there will be 100,000 soldiers and horses left in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and these 100,000 soldiers and horses will not pose a threat to the Great Wei, and they can be easily destroyed.
