Chapter 524: Knife Test

The two armies did not start fighting immediately, and the enemy did not start fighting immediately because of the apparent superiority, although the four marshals were very angry at Ye Shaolong's contempt, but they were still restrained and did not do anything foolish.

The strength of the Yejiabao army was completely beyond everyone's expectations, as can be seen from the cavalry battalions that had been coming to attack before. From that moment on, the four marshals no longer dared to underestimate any Yejiabao army.

10,000 cavalry was able to make them claim to be 200,000 troops, and they were so nervous that more than 30,000 people were killed and wounded.

Zhang Zuosheng stared at the three people present and took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, let's talk about how we will fight the Yejiabao army next." “

Zhang Jiachang was the first to respond: "Big brother, we don't have to be afraid of them at all, it's better to take advantage of the fact that they haven't camped down yet, and the whole army will be solved if they are pressed up." ”

Zhang Zuosheng glared at Zhang Jiachang fiercely, his eyes were full of warnings, and he could say such brainless words. If he knew that he could defeat the Yejiabao army in this way, he would still need to discuss with the people present!

Yan Xisan and Feng Guozhang's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain at the same time, but both of them hid it well. Yan Xisan even smiled and persuaded Zhang Zuosheng: "Zhang Shuai, the strength of the Yejiabao army is unknown at present, and we only knew that their cavalry was very powerful. As for the rest, we still don't know anything, so why don't we send troops to test it. ”

"Yes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, this method is indeed available, and it is worth our try!" Feng Guozhang stood up in time to support Yan Xisan.

Zhang Zuosheng also seemed to agree, and after a little consideration, he made a decision: "Yes, we really have to test it, after we understand the strength of the Yejiabao army, we can think of countermeasures to crack it." ”

The four of them quickly agreed and decided to send troops to test it. But how many soldiers were sent and what soldiers were sent made the four of them feel embarrassed.

In the end, it was Feng Guozhang who proposed: "Why don't we send cavalry, we still have 5,000 cavalry from each family." There are also 20,000 in total, so let them learn from the previous Yejiabao cavalry to carry out a covert attack, so that the Yejiabao army can also taste this bitter fruit. ”

The proposal was again approved, and soon the four of them were up and running. The remaining 5,000 cavalry of each family were all assembled, and each sent a henchman to lead his own cavalry.

The cavalry set out from the rear of the enemy camp in the afternoon of the same night, in an attempt to conceal the Yejiabao army and achieve the purpose of sneak attack in the dark.

What the four commanders of the enemy army never expected was that as soon as the cavalry on their side moved, Ye Shaolong over there had already received a report.

After learning that the enemy army had dispatched 20,000 cavalry, Ye Shaolong let out a sneer and ordered Su Can to take precautions tonight and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of.

Su Can agreed in a cruel voice, and said: "If they come, I promise that they won't be able to eat and walk around, hehehe......." ”

A cold laugh sounded in the big tent, and Su Can's face was hideous, as if he didn't care about the enemy cavalry who was about to attack.

Ye Shaolong didn't dare to agree, and told him not to be careless about Jingzhou!

Su Can restrained himself a little, and then said goodbye and went down to arrange.

In the big tent, only Ye Shaolong and the two iron towers and Lin Biao who were still recuperating from their injuries were left.

Although the ten-army stick is not fatal on the buttocks, it can hurt a lot, and the treatment of the two of them at the moment is not bad. Ye Shaolong specially ordered someone to get them two lying beds.

The iron tower was lying on the bed, gnawing on the chicken leg in his mouth and whimpering: "Dashuai, do you want me to help Brother Su." ”

Ye Shaolong smiled evilly: "What? Is your ass already good? ”

Tie Ta sat up very suddenly, obviously too much, hurting the wound on his buttocks, and after taking a sharp breath, he said with a dead face: "It's okay, isn't it just ten military sticks, this little injury is not in the way." ”

Lin Biao really couldn't stand it, and pouted and said, "Come on, don't be reckless." Just go into battle with an injury, don't be able to help and burden others. ”

Tie Ta was not convinced, and he was about to argue with Lin Biao as soon as he glared at him, but Ye Shaolong did not let them quarrel: "Don't quarrel, neither of you two is allowed to fight, stay here honestly." If there is disobedience, twenty military sticks will wait. ”

Dropping such a sentence, Ye Shaolong snorted coldly and turned around and walked out of the big tent, ignoring the two of them anymore.

Tie Ta and Lin Biao's faces were full of bad luck, and they were even more-for-tat with each other, obviously complaining to each other.

Su Can's speed was very fast, and he had just come out for a while, and he had already begun to lead his troops to set traps around the camp of the Yejiabao army.

Horse pits, horse stakes surrounded almost the entire camp, leaving only the main entrance of the camp without any traps.

What surprised Ye Shaolong the most was that Su Can actually got more than 200 small copper cannons. According to Ye Shaolong's understanding, the power of this small copper cannon is extremely limited, and the firing range seems to be only 100 meters.

But fortunately, this kind of small cannon is a scattered bullet, and it is used to defend the camp, but it is a rare weapon.

Ye Shaolong suddenly understood why Su Can was so confident before, it turned out that this guy still had this kind of thing.

The curious Ye Shaolong stepped forward and asked, "Where did you get so many copper cannons, why don't I know?" ”

Su Can said with a smile: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you first." This was sent by Yejiabao before we set off, and they knew that there were 200,000 troops coming to attack, so they specially made these things for us. ”

Ye Shaolong nodded suddenly, he had indeed heard of it before, but what surprised him was that Ye Jiabao was able to produce more than two hundred such copper cannons in a short period of time?

Seeing Ye Shaolong's puzzled expression, Su Can explained again: "In order to make more than 200 copper cannons, everyone up and down Yejiabao can be said to be standing. In particular, the common people knew that we lacked copper materials for making artillery, so they all contributed all the copper products at home. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing." Ye Shaolong was very surprised.

Su Can laughed and said: "With one heart, there is nothing that cannot be done, more than two hundred copper cannons were jointly prepared by the people of Yejiabao." Tonight, these bronze cannons will be used to give the enemy army a head-on blow. ”

Ye Shaolong smiled and nodded, "Since I have these things, I can rest assured, and tonight's defense will be completely handed over to you." Don't worry about killing more enemies, make sure that the safety of the camp is the first priority, and the rest of the points will stop. ”

It was rare that Su Can didn't argue with Ye Shaolong this time, so he simply nodded and agreed.

Ye Shaolong then walked around the camp before returning to the tent alone.
