The big tent of the Qin army

Xiahou Zhang looked at Lin Yao's distant back and said to Wang Qian: "Although Lin Yao has been in our army for several years, he is young and has no experience in holding important positions.

Wang Jian said: "Of course I thought about what you said, so I only arranged Lin Yao as Qian Fei's deputy and did not let him lead the army alone.

Our army is only responsible for attacking the city, and these camps are naturally indispensable for the vanguard army to solve, and you can immediately lead 5,000 cavalry to cooperate with the vanguard army.

If the vanguard is ambushed or sniped, you will lead your troops to cut off the enemy's retreat and divide and annihilate the enemy, and you will not need to pay attention to other battles."

Hearing that Xiahou Zhang had been arranged to take over the task and walk out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Ji Wu approached Wang Jian and said to him: "It seems that there will be a war again, and I can't be idle when I come to serve in front of the army under the order of the king, and dare to ask the old general what orders and orders."

"Ji Zhonglang, I have ordered Hao Zhan Suoxing and the two to lead 30,000 troops to the south to attack the city, if the siege does not go well or encounters the interception of the Yan army, you will inevitably go to reinforcements, now when there is nothing to do in the south, you and I can press the Chinese army together to participate in the military for me, and there will be a lot of places where you can be used when the war begins."

Ji Wu arched his hand and said, "Take the order below."

Left Army Barracks

The left army was full of generals who originally belonged to Cao Cheng's account, and after Cao Cheng was killed, Wang Jian planned them to be the left army and canceled the original army name.

Since Cao Cheng died in battle, no one has come to restrain this army and horses, so many officers and soldiers in the army have no discipline at all when there is no war, and Wang Jian also has too much time to manage due to his busy official duties.

An undisciplined army cannot win a battle and conquer an attack, so in order not to delay the action of the whole army because of its own problems, Wang Jian had no choice but to order the suspension of all wartime tasks of all personnel of this army.

Not participating in any war made this army feel somewhat disheartened, and when I learned that Wang Jian had sent someone to re-command the soldiers and horses of the left army, the generals and colonels of the left army gathered around to discuss this matter.

Deputy General Liang Xing said to the people beside him: "Do you know, I heard that the person who came to lead us is called Lin Yao, who is in our army, and he has been commanding under General Cao for a long time, and he has not been promoted, I don't know that Xia Houzhang has been given benefits from all sides, so Xia Hou Zhang recommended him like this, General Wang not only ordered him to lead but also named him the deputy vanguard."

Cavalry Sima He Yi said: "Lin Yao, I am more familiar with this person, his face every day gives people a very cold feeling, and I can't read what he is thinking about every moment from his face."

"Although this Lin Yao is not a high rank in the army, he is only responsible for commanding the eight hundred halberders under General Cao, but I have seen his ability with my own eyes, I am afraid that none of us can defeat him together, this may be the reason why General Wang Lao ordered him to lead us and serve as the deputy vanguard, since he has been ordered to take over and lead us, we must obey him, now the first task is to conquer the city as soon as possible, you don't have any complaints."

After listening to the words of Xu Jing, the eldest general in the army, Xuanwu Zhonglang General, the generals felt that it was very reasonable and did not complain any more.

At this time, Zou Jia came over and said to everyone: "Everyone is cheered up when we come to the mission, let's go and meet the general sent by the above to take over and lead us."

Just now, among the generals, there were many who were sitting on the lawn and lying down, leaning sideways against the ordnance earthen wall, and when they heard what Zou Jia said, they all stood up straight and tidied up their untidy attire, and those who did not wear helmets put on their helmets and those who did not wear armor also put on their armor, and walked towards the Chinese military tent together to meet the new general who commanded them.

Lin Yao stood in the middle of the big tent of the Chinese army, looked around at the generals of the Left Army who slowly walked in, and said secretly: "This Qin army is really much higher than the training quality of soldiers in other countries, just now I also heard that many of these people also complained a lot about the left army under my command, and now they have not said a word of reluctance, seeing that these people are all fierce generals who lick blood at the tip of a knife, but it is a pity that they will soon turn into nutrients on this Yannan Plain."

Although he had never led a large army to fight, Lin Yao did not seem inferior to other people who led troops, and he did not communicate too much with the generals to increase his prestige, and came up and pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said to everyone:

"Wuyuan will soon be conquered by our army, the defenders in the city do not concentrate all the troops to defend the city, but divide the troops and build a camp outside the city, which just gives our army the opportunity to annihilate the living forces of Wuyuan, our task is to solve all the Yan army outside the city to respond to the attack of the army, you are now retreating and rectifying the troops and horses for an hour after the march will be promoted."

Lin Yao's cold and expressionless face originally gave others a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and the words he said in an ordered tone made people feel even more cold, and all the generals didn't dare to say anything anymore and hurriedly took the order, exited the camp and reorganized the troops and horses.

Takegaki Council Hall

Liu Xiang said to the generals: "I now feel that I really overestimate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses of the Yan State, Lu Yi, who has just mixed into the Qin army to inquire about the outside situation, will wait for the news, when the Qin army was besieging our Wuyuan, Wang Jian ordered a Qin army to ride south, and captured the three cities of Xiawu Quyi Sanqiu without much effort, and only we and the defenders of Yangcheng were still desperately resisting in the entire southern region of Yan State."

"The reason why this Yangcheng has been able to hold out until now is that the mountains and rivers near Yangcheng are densely packed with river networks, which makes it difficult for the Qin army, which is dominated by cavalry, to open up, and the Yangcheng city wall is wide and protected by moats on all sides, which makes it difficult for the Qin army to break through for a while."

After Qiu Hao finished speaking, Guo Yue said: "Although Yangcheng can hold on for a while with the help of these advantages, the grain and grass in the city are limited and difficult to support for a long time."

Guo Yue paused for a moment and continued: "This Yangcheng is one of the earliest important towns in the Yan Kingdom, and it has been the first-line city against the northern Rong clan since the Shang Dynasty, but at this time, Yangcheng has less than 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, and the county guard Yang Xi is only a literati and does not have much experience in dealing with large-scale wars, and our army cannot divide troops to rescue Yangcheng at the moment, so I am willing to bring a few generals and more than 100 cavalry, each carrying grain and grass to Yangcheng to assist in the defense."

After listening to Guo Yue's somewhat bold suggestion, everyone discussed whether it was feasible or not......
