Chapter Fifty-Six: The End of the Strong Crossbow Does Not Wear Su

In this case, how can his 30,000 Han army win? And if the retreat fails, then wouldn't he Jiao He have a total of 30,000 troops in the wilderness?

He's a thorn! The top officials of a state and the important ministers of the Han Dynasty, how can they live and die with these puppets!

"Lord Assassin Shi, for today's plan, the only way to lead the army to storm Dongping is to have a chance to maneuver in the south and north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Although most of the people here are straw bale generals, who are incompetent and too guarded, after all, they were cultivated by the family, and they still understand military strategy, so a general immediately stood up and said.

"Okay, Duan Pu, I order you to command the three schools and conquer Dongping."

Seeing that someone finally had a proposal, Jiao He grabbed duckweed like a drowning man, and pressed all the bets.

There are about six or seven thousand men and horses in the first school of Qingzhou, which can be said to be the only mobile force that the Han army can handle now.

"Well, I'll go and select soldiers and horses immediately."

Duan Pu did not hesitate, and immediately after receiving the order, he hurried out of the big tent and went to beat the drum and gather the army.

……

Qingzhou Jinan Kingdom, Dongping City, Han Yuan's department, which had already recovered all the troops, was like a clenched fist, waiting to give the opponent a fatal blow.

That night, after receiving the main force of the Han army, Han Yuan, who would be able to arrive in Dongping City around tomorrow, sat in the county hall together and discussed the final marching plan.

"The general is the courage of the soldiers, Jiao He, as the commander of the first army, is timid and cowardly, and he will not dare to attack me with the whole army, and he is worried that the army will mutiny, and he will definitely order the main force to march quickly to conquer Dongping. Shuoqiu, this place is just thirty miles away from Dongping City, we will ambush the main force here, and the Han army is in a hurry, one blow is enough. ”

After carefully looking at the map of Jinan seized from the county government, Xi Zhicai pointed at Shuoqiu and said.

It's not that he underestimates Jiao He too much, but what Jiao He does doesn't make people look down on him at all, Qingzhou is still rampant with bandits in peacetime, and since the Yellow Turban Uprising, it has been defeated in successive battles, although at this moment it seems that Jiao He's 30,000 army has an advantage, but that is also the consequence of the shrinkage of the Yellow Turban Army, if it weren't for the fact that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban transferred two-thirds of the soldiers and horses to support Quyang, I am afraid that Jiao He will still shrink in Beihai as his turtle duke.

"While defeating the main force of the Han army, we need to spare Jiao He's life, and only a cowardly Jiao He can meet the needs of the development of our remaining troops in Qingzhou. Therefore, we must not only eliminate the main force of the Han army in a limited way, but also not let them suffer a big defeat, so in tomorrow's battle, we need to let go of some of the men and horses, and at the same time open the passage of Jinan Kingdom, let Jiao He go, and then follow behind to make a pursuit posture. ”

After pondering for a while, he still talked about the needs of tomorrow's battle from a strategic point of view.

After all, Jiao He is really too wasteful, if the damage of the Han army is too great, then even if there is a reason for officialdom to protect each other, then with Jiao He's 'amazing' record, his position in Qingzhou Thorn History will not be stable, and the best result is also to an idle of 2,000 stones, so giving Jiao He a 'face' in the battle is a good thing for you, me, and everyone.

"Just do what you say."

Han Yuan, who pondered for a while, agreed with Xi Zhicai's plan.

At the same time, he also smiled helplessly in his heart, he actually needed the enemy to take the initiative to release water on the battlefield, but he was afraid that this Jiao He was the first time in the history of the Han Empire, and there was no one.

It stands to reason that God has closed a door for people, and it will definitely open a window for people, but with this Jiao He's performance, Han Yuan felt that in addition to his good identity, God simply locked him up in a small black room.

……

The weather in July was so hot that the sun seemed to be hanging on and showing his majesty desperately, and the sun shining on the earth made everything hot and ready to crack.

Duan Pu led more than 20,000 men and horses to march in this dry and hot weather.

"General Duan, on such a march, the soldiers can't bear it!"

Although the captains around him were not experienced in battle, they also understood that they were afraid that they would be able to collapse when they heard the enemy's war drums, so they rode their horses and suggested beside Duan Pu.

"Beyond the shimmering hills, we took advantage of the shade at the foot of the mountain."

Duan Pu, who frowned, although he also knew the truth of what the captain said, but the order he received from the assassin was to conquer Dongping within three days, and today is already the second day, so how can the siege of the city take a day, so now he is just secretly hoping that the Yellow Turban Army can stay in Dongping City steadily, waiting for him to take the initiative to attack.

"General, the strength of the soldiers is almost overdrawn, and if they march like this, I am afraid that they will not be able to recover at all tomorrow."

The captain who frowned still ignored the suggestion, after all, although Duan Pu was the commander at the moment, his actual position was only a captain, so the captain was still not very vain.

"Rush through Shuoqiu, Lord Assassin Shi strictly ordered me to conquer Dongping within three days, and the dishonest will be punished by military law."

The helpless Duan Pu said Jiao He's absurd order.

"This ......."

The captain knew that maybe the assassin was timid and cowardly in the eyes of the Yellow Turban Army, but he was ruthless in dealing with his own people, and anyone who dared to disobey his orders would either be dismissed directly or be scolded to death by the cane, so the captain opened his mouth and didn't know how to reply.

"Okay, I'll go to the front army to suppress the formation in person, and you urge the rear army to keep up with the troops and don't fall behind."

Duan Pu, who waved his hand, made a forward rush as soon as he tightened his horse's belly, and rushed towards the thousand troops, and at the same time gave the captain an order to supervise the march.

"Whoa."

The lieutenant, who sighed lightly, looked at the soldiers who were stunned with stunned eyes and stiff legs, and immediately shouted with a wave of his horsewhip: "Soldiers, General Duan Pu has prepared wine and food in front of Shuoqiu, march quickly, and when we arrive there, we will set up camp and enjoy the food." ”

Although the allusion of Cao Cao's Wangmei quenching thirst has not yet appeared, the generals' ability to draw cakes is a must, and under an order, the soldiers mustered up the last bit of strength in their bodies, stretched their legs hard, and ran forward.
