Saying that Jing Ran had already explained his intention when he rushed to the military camp led by Daniel Zhang, Jing Ran's words were very simple:

"Gotta win!"

At that moment, Jing Ran wanted to make a battle plan with Daniel Zhang.

But this is easier said than done, and the two of them have never commanded more than a thousand men in battle.

At this time, Daniel Zhang remembered one thing, saying that the Qin army borrowed 5,000 people from the king of Chu, and there were nearly 1,000 cavalry among them, and he also sent a cavalry general to help him.

Jing Ran was overjoyed, although he and Daniel Zhang had both fought in cavalry, but when Daniel Zhang was in Northern Chu, he was just a team leader of the Great Chu Xiao cavalry guard, as for himself, the reason why he was able to win in the cavalry battle between the Qin State and Xirong was completely because he relied on Li You's infantry formation to contain a large number of Xirong cavalry, and he won that battle with a mortal heart, and now commanded the battle of five thousand people, and the two were immediately blind.

Now that I heard Daniel Zhang say that the Qin State sent a cavalry general, how could he not be overjoyed.

"Hurry up, please come and discuss the matter."

Daniel Zhang nodded, planning to go out of the account to find the general of the Qin State, and at this time, a voice came from outside the account:

"The subordinate ministers of the Qin State Gongsun rode the capital and led the Gongsun to lose and ask to see the king of the Chu State!"

Yes, it was the Gongsun who fought bravely in the Qin and Zhao Wars, and the Gongsun Cavalry, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, led Gongsun to lose.

Jing Ran was overjoyed, and went to greet Gongsun Yi in person: "General, please come in, if there is no general, the widow doesn't know what to do." ”

As he spoke, he cordially took Gongsun Yin's hand and walked in.

The two chatted for a while, and talked about Gongsun Zhi, who was serving as the general commander of the army in the Qin army, and Jing Ran was full of emotion.

Jing Ran said: "If it weren't for Ah Weng's help, the widow wouldn't be where he is today." Jing Ran still calls Gongsun Zhi Ah Weng, which makes Gongsun lose very kindly.

Gongsun was also refreshed, and he didn't drag mud and water, so he came directly to the theme.

"Before the official start of the war, the subordinates want to ask the King of Chu and General Zhang, what do the two know about the Northern Chu army?"

As the former commander of the Northern Chu Xiao Cavalry Guard, Daniel Zhang of course took the lead in saying: "The last general once served as the captain of the Xiao Cavalry Guard in the Northern Chu Army, so the last general still has some understanding of our Great Chu cavalry. ”

Gongsun Zhi and Jing Ran looked at Daniel Zhang at the same time: "General Zhang, please continue." ”

Daniel Zhang: "The Northern Chu Army Xiao Cavalry Guard originated from the cavalry of the Great Chu Mingguang Emperor in those years, experienced in a hundred battles, and were all warriors who dared to fight, if you say that you fight alone, my Chu country is southern, the literary style is prosperous, and the southerners are many literate and elegant people, but there are few soldiers who can fight." But we all know that the military power of Da Chu can be said to be Yongguan Zhongzhou, and I think General Gongsun agrees with this. ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded secretly, Da Chu's military power is definitely the only one in the land of Zhongzhou, and its strength is very strong.

Daniel Zhang paused and continued: "As far as the Xiao Cavalry Guard is concerned, the strength of this unit is not in physical fitness, but in discipline. ”

"Discipline?" Jing Ran and Gongsun interrupted Daniel Zhang, feeling very puzzled.

It is not surprising that they have such doubts. Because as we all know, the war is possible to win by relying on brave soldiers, and the Chu people are weak, which is an indisputable fact, but it is such a seemingly weak Chu army that can run rampant in Zhongzhou for decades, which is also very surprising that Gongsun lost.

Daniel Zhang: "Yes, our Chu army relies on discipline. When I was in the team under Jiang Yue before my humble post, I was fortunate to hear Jiang Yue's analysis of the combat strength of our Chu army, I don't know if the king and General Gongsun want to hear it? Saying that, Daniel Zhang glanced at Jing Ran and Gongsun with his eyes.

When Daniel Zhang mentioned Jiang Yue again, he was actually a little worried in his heart, because for Jing Ranyan, this Jiang Yue has now gradually become a wolf ambition, even if Jing Ran doesn't say it, but he may have hated him to what extent.

Just when Daniel Zhang was a little panicked, Jing Ran said: "General, it doesn't hurt to say it!" "There is not the slightest connectivity on the face.

Because Jing Ran himself knows that Jiang Yue's military command ability can be ranked in the top five in the entire Chu State, such a general, his analysis is very valuable for the war that Jing Ran will face.

Daniel Zhang saw that Jing Ran was frank, and he was not taboo at the moment, so he said bluntly: "Jiang Yue said a word, which made the humble duty very memorable. He said that the combat effectiveness of an army comes from three aspects, strict discipline, and strong logistical support, and the reason why our Chu State's combat effectiveness can be stronger than Zhongzhou depends on this. ”

Gongsun Yi and Jing Ran suddenly realized, and they simply broke the sky in one sentence.

"This General Jiang Yue has the demeanor of a generation of famous generals!"

Gongsun lost admiration. Obviously, he still doesn't know much about the behavior of this General Jiang Yue now.

Jing Ran also sighed, no wonder this Jiang Yue made Jing Yu so jealous, just by virtue of his words, he could be the commander of the three armies. But when Jing Ran thought that the current Jiang Yue had slowly become a traitor who bullied the monarch for the sake of power, he felt a pity in his heart.

After listening to Daniel Zhang's words, Gongsun lost as if he had some idea, but he didn't know how to speak.

Jing Ran saw him pondering, as if he had something to say, so he asked directly: "If the general has something to say, please say it directly, we are friends now, not enemies." ”

Gongsun lost: "I don't have any other thoughts in the fall, but I am thinking, if according to General Daniel Zhang's analysis of the reasons for the high combat effectiveness of the Chu army, then does the current Northern Chu army really have such an advantage?" ”

Jing Ran was suddenly startled in his heart: Yes, although the current Northern Chu Army has a large number of people, but the advantages that Daniel Zhang said, can Jing Yu really achieve it completely?

Daniel Zhang also fell into deep thought, judging from the time he was in the Northern Chu Army, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Chu Army was obviously declining. Although the reason for the division of the Chu State cannot be ruled out, there are indeed vices in the army that were not there before.

Daniel Zhang said, "Judging from my days in the Northern Chu army, there are no more things in Northern Chu now. ”

Jing Ran and Gongsun Yi said at the same time: "How do you say this? ”

Daniel Zhang said: "First of all, let's look at the issue of supply, since my Dachu split, supply has actually been a problem, such as three meals in the past, and you can see meat every day, such supplies are unique in the entire Zhongzhou." ”

Gongsun lost: "Yes, my Qin army can only eat a meal of meat in three days." ”

Daniel Zhang nodded: "Yes, but now the Chu army, three meals a day is already difficult to guarantee, like our Xiao cavalry guards, although there is no meat, but three meals can still be guaranteed, but in many infantry battalions, the food problem has not been solved." And according to what my subordinates learned from the horses, among the 30,000 people who came from Northern Chu this time, there were only more than 1,000 cavalry! The rest are all infantry, which means that as long as we eliminate their cavalry, the remaining infantry who can't even eat will not be a big problem. ”

Jing Ran and Gongsun were stunned at the same time, yes, after analyzing it this way, although their numbers are small, their overall combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Northern Chu Army, at least there is no problem with their supplies now, after all, Jiang Yue has not done anything for himself in terms of food.

Besides, he didn't expect the people he gave to in this battle at all, and soldiers with such combat strength sent them to the battlefield, and no one with a little conscience would do it, because it was creating a massacre.

Now the three of them began to think carefully about their strength.

In addition to the men and horses of Hexi City, Qin State lent him 5,000 soldiers and horses, of which there were only 500 auxiliary soldiers, which belonged to the reserve personnel who escorted grain and grass, and 1,000 cavalry, with double horses, and these cavalry were all serious Great Qin Gongsun horses, and their combat effectiveness was ranked among the best in the entire Zhongzhou, and the rest were Qin infantry, and their combat effectiveness was usable. The main thing is that Gongsun loses and knows that this battle can only end as quickly as possible, and it is impossible for the Qin State to fight on both sides.

Jing Ran and Daniel Zhang also knew that in the military camp where they were staying now, only a thousand people were their own, all of them were cavalry, although their combat effectiveness was not comparable to Gongsun Cai, but more than a thousand cavalry was enough for the Northern Chu army to drink a pot.

Now the situation is clear, on his side plus the Gongsun cavalry of Western Qin, there are 6,000 men and horses, and there are more than 5,500 soldiers who can fight, while there are more than 20,000 soldiers who can fight on the Northern Chu side, but there are only 1,000 cavalry.

"This battle can be fought!"

Jing Ran said: "What we have to do now is to fight a quick battle, and we must not wait for the 30,000 people in Northern Chu to slow down, and we can only end the battle in a field way, because in case Northern Chu is cowering in the barracks, it is impossible to attack the city and fight a tug-of-war with them by relying on our own people." ”

Thinking of this, Jing Ran and Gongsun lost, and Daniel Zhang and the three had already made a decision: launch an attack on the enemy army at noon tomorrow!

Gongsun lost: "We have 2,000 cavalry capable of fighting, and the last general will lead 1,000 Gongsun cavalry to attack the enemy's cavalry and disrupt its battle formation; The king and General Zhang divided their forces to lead the remaining infantry and cavalry, and the two cooperated with each other to directly attack the enemy's infantry array! ”

Jing Ran listened to Gongsun Lose's analysis in place, and didn't have much to say: "Such a widow will bother the general!" ”

"Daniel Zhang, send a letter to Mr. Li and ask him to lead those five thousand new troops to the battlefield at noon tomorrow!"

Daniel Zhang puzzled: "King, will the five thousand people be a little ......?"

"Unusable?" Jing Ran looked at Daniel Zhang, waved his hand, and interrupted Daniel Zhang, who was about to speak.

"A soldier, if he doesn't have the courage to fight, he might as well go home and farm! Tomorrow, the widows will personally put on their armor and rush to the front, and they will achieve a hearty victory, so that they will know that even people like me, who have grown up in the court, can have the determination to die on the battlefield, and how can they live in the rear of the barracks with a calm face! ”

Daniel Zhang nodded, the king is going to use his determination to fight to influence this group of soldiers who have lost their will to fight.

Daniel Zhang: "Great King, the subordinates understand, so go and send a letter!" ”

Gongsun Yi looked at Jing Ran in front of him, and suddenly remembered Gongsun Zhi's words: This king of Chu State, don't look at being exiled now, but he will one day get back what belongs to him.

Gongsun sneered at the time: What did he use to take it? Hehe.

But later, after hearing that Jing Ran broke the Xirong cavalry with more than 30 horses and captured the little prince of Xirong, he would still be suspicious, and now Jing Ran has gone from being exiled to the Qin State at that time with only more than 30 people, and now has more than 5,000 foot horses! Seeing that he wanted to gamble with his dreams and lives to stimulate the fighting spirit of his soldiers, he believed Gongsun Zhi's words.

"Father is right."

"What did the general say?"

Gongsun lost: "Hehe, it's nothing...... If the king has nothing else to do, his subordinates will go and prepare first. ”

"General, please."

After sending Gongsun away, Jing Ran stood alone in front of Yutu, silently looking at the place where the Northern Chu army was stationed, and smashed it with his fist.

"Tomorrow's battle, life and death in an instant."

In war, no one will be truly safe, as the saying goes, the sword has no eyes, even if it is the king of Chu.
