Chapter 196

After the Han army calmly retreated from the city wall, the battle had already achieved its goal, and there was no need to continue the battle, so Ye Chen collected all the attacking forces.

In this battle, the biggest gain should be Ye Chen.

He didn't lose a single soldier, but only consumed hundreds of thousands of arrows, and in the end, Ye Chen's prestige and prestige soared.

Because Ye Chen is too young to be in a high position, and his strength is not very strong, in terms of the number of troops, there are only more than 6,000 combatable soldiers now, but after this battle, at least the more than 30,000 defeated soldiers will be convinced by Ye Chen, obey his orders, and support him.

In addition, these defeated soldiers were reorganized and trained by the guard battalion, which invisibly branded him, Huangfu Song would not compete with Ye Chen for power, and there was no need to fight with Ye Chen, he was the supreme commander, everyone had to listen to him, and all the credit also had his share.

Others, including Dong Zhuo, have no strength to compete with Ye Chen, although Dong Zhuo is strong and Ye Chen is not an opponent, but he is already guilty, at most let him erase the charges on his body.

Therefore, these more than 30,000 defeated soldiers were actually controlled by Ye Chen, as long as the combat effectiveness of these troops could be improved, then Ye Chen would be able to gain great benefits, although these people would not be his after the war, but at least he could get a lot of benefits for Ye Chen in this battle.

Zhang Jiao held on to the city wall and watched the Han army slowly retreat, and sighed, he knew that the Yellow Turban would be difficult in the future, not only because of this battle, but also because the commander of the Han army was not Dong Zhuo's incompetent.

"Big brother, we didn't prepare this time, let Ye Chen's kid succeed, next time he dares to come, he will definitely kill his head." Zhang Bao said fiercely.

Zhang Jiao sighed and shook his head, but did not speak.

Zhang Bao didn't understand what Zhang Jiao meant, and then said: "This Ye Chen can only shoot arrows below, if he dares to really climb the wall to attack the city, he will definitely have no return." ”

Zhang Bao was complaining because he had suffered a loss at Ye Chen's hands again, this time not only did his troops suffer very large losses, but even affected their morale, and he almost died.

Zhang Bao encountered Ye Chen several times, but none of them got a bargain, which can be described as bitter and bitter, and he couldn't wait to rush to the opposite side and cut Ye Chen now.

"This Ye Chen is our Yellow Turban enemy, we must be careful and careful next time we encounter it, otherwise our Yellow Turban cause is likely to be destroyed in his hands." Zhang Jiao said leisurely.

Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Zhang Bao was dumbfounded, he was still bragging, and he couldn't say that he was bragging, but he was making up his mind to beat Ye Chen to the ground, and this big brother would increase the morale of others and destroy his prestige.

"Big brother, then Ye Chen has thousands of cavalry under him, every time he is a sneak attack, if you fight head-on, you don't have to be afraid of him at all." Zhang Bao said with some dissatisfaction.

"Sneak attack? It's scary to always use sneak attacks. The art of war, with righteousness and harmony, with odd victory. This Ye Chen is good at using strange, that is to say, he is good at finding our weaknesses, and if we expose our Achilles' heel, then his thousands of cavalry can bury us. ”

Zhang Jiao found that Ye Chen was indeed good at sneak attacks, but he had no way to be without a flaw, once a flaw was exposed, that was when he perished, with Ye Chen's eyes staring at him all the time, if the flaw was exposed, then it would be dangerous.

"Big brother, what should we do, or we will find a way to get rid of him." Zhang Bao said helplessly.

"Help me go back first, and we'll talk about this later." Zhang Jiao said.

So Zhang Bao Zhang Liang helped Zhang Jiao back, Zhang Jiao was already very weak at this time, and this time Zhang Bao was strong enough to stand up, which was a very big burden on his body.

In fact, Zhang Jiao didn't want to get rid of Ye Chen, but he didn't think of a way, Ye Chen rarely fought outside Guangzong City for so long, every time he went out to fight, it was at the most critical time, and it was like a thunderbolt, there was no time to arrange, and he finally attacked them back and forth and trapped them, but in the end he still fell short.

The two armies returned to the camp separately, and after returning to the camp, Ye Chen was courteous to most of the people.

That night, Huangfu Song specially held a banquet to celebrate.

The purpose of the celebration is not only to celebrate the victory, but also to improve everyone's confidence, so as to improve their own morale, otherwise Huangfu Song would never do that on the front line.

After a simple banquet, Huangfu Song left several major generals behind for a meeting.

"In addition to the joint efforts of everyone, General Ye's contribution is also obvious to all, but as the deputy commander of the army, he should also do it. So how to continue to achieve victory until the Yellow Turban is completely eradicated depends on the joint efforts of everyone, and Song will definitely ask the court for credit one by one. ”

Huangfu Song simply said an opening remark, he didn't deliberately emphasize Ye Chen's credit, this is not to strip away his credit, but just to tell others that Ye Chen is already the deputy coach, there is no need to compete with them for credit, their credit will not be covered by Ye Chen's light, and at the same time tell Ye Chen that he also has a share of other people's credit, let him put himself in the right position.

Next, Huangfu Song discussed the current situation with everyone, and then said: "Through today's attack, the Yellow Turban has exposed some problems, although it is a small problem, but it has been underestimated, and there must be a problem inside the Yellow Turban, so I decided to continue to attack the Yellow Turban, so that their problems will be completely exposed, and then we will have the opportunity to break through Guangzong and exterminate the Yellow Turban." ”

After Huang Fu Song finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and then at Ye Chen.

"General Jianwei, I don't know if you have any opinions."

"General, I agree to continue the attack, but please give the last general some time, the last general needs time to recover the morale of the Han army that was defeated before." Ye Chen stood up and said.

"I don't know how much time General Ye will need?" Huangfu Song also knew that this Han army was very crucial.

"Ten days."

"Okay, within ten days, General Ye will deal with this rout army with peace of mind, but after ten days, they must participate in the battle, and they must re-form their combat effectiveness. I don't know if General Ye dares to accept this military order? ”

Huangfu Song gave this order in the form of a military order, then the situation would be different, if Ye Chen did not do well in the end, he would be punished by military law.

"The last general is willing to make a military order."

Although the time is a little tight, this army has been reorganized and has recovered a certain level of morale, and although it is a little difficult to restore their combat effectiveness in ten days, it will not be very difficult.

Ye Chen received the military order, and Huangfu Song didn't say anything more, and then he began to issue the rest of the military orders.

"Starting tomorrow. Dong Zhuo led the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack a city wall, Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and Jiaben will allocate a part of the soldiers and horses to attack a city wall, and the sect member and the old man each led a soldier and horse to attack, and everyone must not slack off, otherwise the military law will be ruthless. ”

"No" everyone promised.
