Chapter 337: Gradual Advancement
Ling Yan couldn't laugh or cry a little: I really didn't expect it to be wrong, with Colonel Zuo's character, he was so tough even to ask for help! However, Colonel Zuo's self-confidence is not unreasonable, and in terms of his bravery, he can indeed take charge of himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Colonel Zuo sighed again: "I calculated everything, but I didn't expect that I would lose so quickly!" In my estimation, with more than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers under my belt, there will be no problem in holding on for a few days, and when the reinforcements arrive, there will be no worries! Hum! β
After Colonel Zuo snorted at the end, he didn't say anything more, but Ling Yan could already think of Colonel Zuo's meaningβit should be that he hated Liu Shi and Liu Hui for betraying him.
Thinking of Colonel Zuo's words, Ling Yan felt a little afraid and a little lucky: fortunately, he defeated Colonel Zuo in advance, otherwise when the reinforcements arrived, I am afraid there would be no chance.
Seeing that Ling Yan didn't speak, Colonel Zuo said again in a very elegant manner: "However, this time I lost to the general, and the school will obey orally!" This is the general of heaven's help, and the school will not be able to win even if he resists desperately. β
Although Colonel Zuo attributed the reason for Ling Yan's victory to heaven, Ling Yan was naturally a little unconvinced, but after thinking about it, there was no need to fight with Colonel Zuo anymore, after all, he won, and winning is the king.
Ling Yan smiled and followed Colonel Zuo and said, "Since General Zuo lost to the sky, he didn't lose to me, so there is no need to be depressed. β
Colonel Zuo didn't say anything, and his expression seemed to be unconvinced.
Ling Yan thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a question: "That's right!" General Zuo, since you have invited reinforcements, it has been several days, where are the reinforcements? Why haven't you come yet? β
Colonel Zuo was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "After the general was demoted from the school, the general was not thin in school, and the general did not lose his word and let my soldiers back...... The school came today to tell the general about this. β
Ling Yan was very happy to see that Colonel Zuo's attitude towards him had obviously improved a lot, and he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, general, your soldiers will soon be able to recover their internal qi!" β
Colonel Zuo said "um": "Today, the school is resting in the room, and a scout came to tell me that the reinforcements are approaching Juye City." β
Ling Yan was taken aback: "The reinforcements are almost arriving in Juye City now?" β
Colonel Zuo nodded: "In two hours, it should be there." β
Ling Yan was very moved, and sincerely said to Colonel Zuo: "Thank you, General Zuo!" If the general can tell me about the reinforcements, it means that he treats me as his own! General rest assured, I will never fail you in the future! β
Colonel Zuo looked as if he didn't care: "General Yan doesn't need to say thank you, let's discuss the plan to defeat the enemy first." β
"Hmm!" Ling Yan was extremely excited, and stood up suddenly, "I'll go back and prepare to meet the enemy!" With the news of the general, then there is no need to worry about any reinforcements at all! β
Colonel Zuo laughed meaningfully: "General Yan, although I told you about this, but the general is sure to defeat the reinforcements?" β
Ling Yan didn't think much about it, he thought that since Colonel Zuo had already told him about the reinforcements, it wasn't a matter of breaking the reinforcements to break through? But as soon as Colonel Zuo said this, Ling Yan suddenly lost his confidence again, and hurriedly sat down again: "Since I already know that reinforcements are coming, then I just ambush it?" β
Colonel Zuo's expression was slightly disdainful: "General Yan, you are inevitably a little underestimated." β
Ling Yan heard what Colonel Zuo had to say, and hurriedly asked, "General Zuo, please ask me again." β
Colonel Zuo laughed: "Although I am confident that I can hold the city and wait for reinforcements, I also made a plan just in case, so I let the reinforcements march in two ways. β
Ling Yan secretly admired Colonel Zuo's thoughtfulness, and also blamed himself for being too confident, so he humbly asked Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo, then what should I do?" β
Colonel Zuo's tone revealed a hint of pride: "Does General Yan have a topographical map here?" β
Ling Yan didn't say a word, he quickly took out the map near Juye City, spread it on the table, and then looked at Colonel Zuo pleadingly.
Colonel Zuo glanced at the map, and then said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, I ordered reinforcements to come in two ways, that is, four soldiers and horses," as he spoke, he looked at the map again and pointed to two places with his fingers, "These two lines of soldiers and horses came in from here and here." β
Ling Yan nodded.
Colonel Zuo continued: "I ordered them to be divided into two armies, which were several miles away...... If the front army encounters the enemy, the rear army will rush to form a flanking attack, and the crisis can be resolved. β
Ling Yan couldn't help but admire: "General Zuo is really scheming!" If you hadn't told me, General, I might have lost the battle again this time! β
Colonel Zuo seemed to get some kind of satisfaction, and finally smiled: "Although the general may not lose, I am afraid that the losses will be very heavy." β
"Hmm!" Ling Yan didn't dare to speculate anymore this time, "That'...... According to the general, how should I meet the enemy? β
This time, Colonel Zuo completely told Ling Yan about the reinforcements, but Ling Yan still didn't dare to make a decision-with the previous lesson, he didn't dare to be careless anymore.
Colonel Zuo moved his hand around on the map: "The general can ambush the soldiers on this road, and the general will personally lead the army, and when the front army passes, the general will not move, and a part of the ambush soldiers will be killed first, and when the rear army comes, the general will lead the army to attack again, and he can win in one fell swoop." β
Ling Yan pointed to another path and asked, "What about this way?" β
Colonel Zuo said very confidently: "This reinforcement is sent from the nearby grasshopper city, the reinforcement generals are Guo Luo and Sun Qiu, these two people are not resourceful, although I will divide the reinforcements into these four roads, they must pay attention to the main road, so these two must be on the same road; The road that the general pointed out was a small road, and the road was rough and unsuitable for marching. I expected that Guo Luo would only send two lieutenant generals to lead the army from this path, so I didn't need to pay attention to it, just send three generals to ambush. β
Ling Yan nodded again and again, and said admiringly: "General Zuo is really powerful!" Even that counts! Okay, then I'll do what the general said! β
Colonel Zuo pushed the map aside and nodded: "Guo Luo only has the courage of a horseman, and his martial arts are not proficient, so don't worry too much; But that Sun Qiu is Sun Xia's younger brother, and he has a little internal qi method, which is not easy to deal with. β
The name Sun Xia, Ling Yan had seen it in the story of the Three Kingdoms, that person was a military general of the Yellow Turban Army, who had been the leader of Nanyang, but Ling Yan didn't know that Sun Xia actually had a younger brother named Sun Qiu.
"General Zuo, is this Sun Qiu's internal qi very powerful?" Ling Yan asked, although he had never heard of this name, he knew that the Three Kingdoms here were still very different from the Three Kingdoms he knew, so he couldn't take it lightly.
Colonel Zuo snorted: "If you want me to come and see, it will be ten Sun Qiu, so don't worry!" β
Ling Yan smiled: "If that's the case, then I guess I can beat him." β
