Chapter 454: Guarding the Pot and Merging the State (I)
When, dang, dang (mouth can not be sent) ~
"Retreat! Retreat~"
Drum up and march, smell the gold and retreat!
Zhang Liao's heart was relieved, and he raised his palm and shouted: "Stop!" ”
Gongsun Du's own soldiers who were guarding the pass immediately stopped, and just watched the enemy retreat.
Five days ago, Zhang Liao decided not to let the tiger return to the mountain, but after five days, because the north and south sides were attacked, the materials guarding the pass had been exhausted. This is still because I noticed something wrong three days ago, and I can only have a little left of unnecessary consumption as much as possible.
Zhang Liao glanced at the corpses of the enemy soldiers scattered all over the city, and he was not too dirty, just sitting in the blood water on the gate, there were his own people, but most of them were enemies, and then he straightened the messy hair on his head and asked, "How many supplies are there?" ”
The squadron leader beside him retracted his gaze to look at the city, reached out and touched the armor on his waist to break through the gap, and replied: "The rolling stone and the salama wood have just used up the last bit left, and now they are gone, and the arrows are gone, and there are only ten life-saving crossbow arrows left, ten for each person, and the total is only more than six thousand three hundred." 400 packets of tribulus terrestris, a total of 4,000 pieces. In addition, each person's own steel knife and armor are still there. And there is not much grain and grass in the gate, at most enough for two days. ”
Zhang Liao knew that this was true, just look at their current appearance and be able to understand. Six days ago, he took Huguan with 800 men, and then in less than two days, Yuan troops came from the north, and then Yuan troops from the south. Zhang Liao had to divide the men and horses into two, and the north and south walls were half each.
Fortunately, although Huguan is not as dangerous as Bishui Pass, the location is also excellent, and it is not as huge as Bishui Pass, and it is more than enough for 400 people to guard a pass wall, but the material consumption is a bit large.
To say that the day before yesterday, if it hadn't been for the four hundred packets of tribulus terrestris, Yuan Jun's madness would have been killed in the pass. At that time, Zhang Liao swallowed his saliva fiercely when he saw thistle, he really couldn't imagine why there was such a small thing with four spikes, once this thing was stepped on, the foot board could be dispensed with. At that time, he also asked what to do when we left, and Gongsun Du's own soldiers told him that the mountain people had their own clever plans. Well, the original saying is not to worry, there is a solution.
In fact, the method is also simple, and there is no relationship between magnets and iron.
However, the losses in five days were really heavy, and the materials in the pass were exhausted, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the losses of 800 pro-soldiers were not large, a total of more than 130 people were killed in battle, an average of more than 20 per day, and less than 30 people were seriously injured, and the rest were all injured, but Zhang Liao found that each pro-soldier knew how to bandage and clean the so-called gauze, and it didn't matter.
The enemy's losses were so great, at least 3,000 men, more than seventy percent were killed, and less than thirty percent of the remaining were crippled, or perhaps killed.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, 800 people guarded the Huguan, defeated the enemy army dozens of attacks in five days, but the loss was very small, the strength of Gongsun Du's own soldiers was really strong, and it was never stronger.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but say: "Today, the Yuan army in the north has disappeared, maybe it won't come again, go out at night to clean up, first, to avoid the plague, and second, to replenish some supplies." ”
After a pause, he said: "According to the secret order of the lord, at this time, the various cities of Shangdang in the north have been taken, and the grain and grass are about to be delivered, so don't worry about eating, everyone will eat rice tonight." ”
"Yes, Captain!"
The squadron leader was neither sad nor happy, and gave the order in response.
The rest of the pro-soldiers were also not sad or happy, and they couldn't see any changes. Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh again in his heart: This is really the elite of the elite, horse battles, foot battles, city defense battles, and surprise battles can be said to be all excellent. The other armies in the Youzhou army don't need to be all like this, as long as they can have this half, only 200,000 troops are needed, and the world is at your fingertips!
Zhang Liao thought about it without hindrance, but he thought too much.
How can ordinary sergeants have half the ability of these pro-soldiers, even if it is the Youzhou army, it is the same. Just that he is not afraid of death, and the tacit understanding is not comparable to ordinary people. Don't you see, even Gao Shun's trapped camp must be commanded by Gao Shun in order to fight with the same number of personal soldiers.
Of course, after Gao Shun selects a thousand people in the Youzhou army in the future to form a new trap camp, I'm afraid it will be a different matter. There is still a big difference between whether there is a wise commander to command or not, after all, one or two hundred people are fine when marching and fighting, as long as the number is slightly larger, no matter how tacit understanding is, it is not better to dispatch in the middle and prohibit orders.
After dinner, Zhang Liao looked at the night sky in the north and pondered for a long time, strode down the wall, stayed in the house for a while, and then recruited a personal soldier and handed him a letter: "You should be careful to leave the pass, if you find the lord or other captains, and give them the letter." ”
The soldiers nodded, packed up their equipment, and went out of the gate with another day's dry food, looking north.
However, Zhang Liao wanted to understand the situation in the north, and only retreated from Yuan's army, he was not completely sure that what he said before must be true, maybe there was still a big war, and then the problem of grain and grass really needed to be solved, which could not be solved in one or two sentences. If you don't have a blade, you can use a stick instead, but if you don't have anything to eat, can you eat dirt? (Eating soil is a science, not everything can be eaten with soil, and it is not something that can be eaten casually, you need to choose, and you also need to choose a cooking method...... )
How to the north of Huguan is not mentioned for the time being, and the south is said.
Yuan Shao learned the news of Gongsun Du's entry into the state in Yecheng, and knew that it was a big trouble at that time, so he summoned his subordinates to increase the army and merge the state, but was blocked by Xu You, Tian Feng and others.
Then Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, and the news that Cao Cao sent troops to quell the rebellion came again, and there was less than a day between them.
While Yuan Shao scolded Yuan Shu for being arrogant, he was also quite worried, so he convened a military meeting. However, everyone scolded Yuan Shu for what he did, saying that he was arrogant and should be punished.
Yuan Shao didn't want to send troops to help Cao Cao deal with his brother, even if this brother was a little brainless. Tian Feng and others saw what he meant, so they proposed to increase the number of troops and merge the state, first, to divert Yuan Shao's attention, and second, to merge the state really needed to increase the army.
Yuan Shao thought that he had two generals, Yan Liangwen and Chou, and was not afraid of Huang Zhong and others, so he listened to the advice of Tian Feng and others, took Ju Yi as the general, Tian Feng as the military division, and led an army of 10,000 to reinforce and annex the state.
But said that this Tian Feng, Feng since childhood, intelligent, when he was a teenager, bereavement and mourning, although the time for the mourning has passed, he still smiles without showing his teeth, so he is valued by his neighbors. And Tian Feng is erudite and talented, very famous in Jizhou, initially by the Taiwei Mansion to conquer, recommended as Maocai, and later was elected as the imperial history, because of resentment of the eunuchs in power, virtuous ministers were killed, so he abandoned the official and returned home. Soon, he became a subordinate of Jizhou Mu Hanfu, but he was discouraged because of his integrity.
Later, Han Fu was destroyed by Yuan Shao, and it happened that Yuan Shao behaved quite wisely and martial, and brought a heavy gift to the door, Tian Feng then worshiped him, and was full of pride and was ready to help him achieve the emperor's cause.
However, as Yuan Shao gets older, he gradually becomes faint, pro-villain, and far virtuous, so he can't use it. Tian Feng is upright, and he has repeatedly committed crimes, which Yuan Shao dislikes. If it weren't for Xun Kan, Chen Lin, Xin Bi and others who repeatedly excused and interceded for him, or had already been killed by Yuan Shao, even so, Tian Feng would have been degraded.
This time, Tian Feng was sent as a military division to reinforce and annex the state, but Chen Lin and others were worried that Tian Feng had something wrong and angered Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao felt a headache about this great talent he personally invited in the past, so he pushed the boat down.
But Tian Feng didn't know it, he only felt that he handed over the people in the first battle with the Youzhou Army to him, and he felt pressure, and he had a lot of thoughts along the way.
When they arrived in Hanoi, they learned the news that Huguan had been taken down, and immediately hurried over. This is also the reason why Zhang Liao almost couldn't stand it before, and finally used tribulus terrestris, otherwise with the previous Yuan army's strength, it would not be possible to create a crisis at Huguan.
Back to the Yuan army camp at this time.
"Can the military advisors get along?" In the past two days, Ju Yi has personally trained a lot of losses from the euphorbia, and they are all lost on thistles, which makes him quite sad.
Tian Feng stroked his beard and sighed: "The general doesn't have to worry, Feng has already thought of a way, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Ju Yi was first happy, and then unhappy.
"This morning, Feng has sent people to cut down trees to make wooden shields, which can break thistles." Tian Feng knew what he meant in his heart, so he first said this, and then changed his head and said, "Today, I watched the battle nearby, and I didn't hear the shouting and killing from the north, and the defenders on the pass seem to have increased a lot, I'm afraid that the state is in danger!" ”
"Huh?" Ju Yi's martial arts are not bad, he marches and fights, and he also has a set of training soldiers, but his brain is not very bright, and he didn't understand what the second half of the sentence meant.
Tian Feng said angrily: "There may have been a change in the north, and it may have fallen into the hands of the Youzhou army." ”
"Impossible!"
Ju Yi was very confident in saying this, he felt that his ability to use soldiers was extremely high, even if it was him, it would be impossible for him to take Shangdang and Taiyuan in such a short time.
Tian Feng said worriedly: "Even if this is not the case, I am afraid that the situation is unimaginable, otherwise they will never withdraw their troops." ”
Ju Yi frowned when he heard this, thought about it but regained his confidence, and said: "The military advisor doesn't have to worry, as long as the tribulus terrestris is solved, it will be easy for the general's euphorbia to break through the pot pass." ”
Tian Feng was so angry that his beard trembled, but Ju Yi didn't bother to listen to him anymore, and walked away.
The next day, Ju Yi attacked Huguan again, but he was full of confidence, and asked his subordinates to pave the ground with wooden shields and tackle the key problems by themselves.
"Not good!"
Zhang Liao was shocked when he saw this, and said: "Tribulus terrestris has been broken, and it is in trouble today." ”
