Chapter 45: Encirclement and Reinforcement
"I've seen the hussar general!" Huangfu Song was so choked by Sun Ling's thank you that he couldn't say anything else, so he had to lead the generals to bow to Sun Ling.
If they were here to greet Sun Ling, it would be better to say, naturally they would have had fun together. The problem is that Huangfu Song himself knows that they came to see Lu Zhi and escort him away, and Sun Ling is also clear about the situation when he comes, if he hadn't stopped him, it is estimated that Lu Zhi would have been on his way back to Luoyang by now. Thinking about the domineering of others, and then looking at himself and others, seeing that Lu Zhi was about to be taken away but could not do anything, Huangfu Song bowed deeply to Sun Ling and said: "Thank you General for saving Zigan today, the old man is ashamed!" ”
Seeing Huangfu Song's old face flushed, Sun Ling knew that he was a smart person. If he really accepted his ridicule just now, he probably would have to give them a look. Even the generals under his own command can't be protected, Sun Ling is really unhappy, not to mention that this person is still Lu Zhi. said that it was difficult for the monarch to die, that thing had no concept at all for Sun Ling, as long as it was a close person, the Spirit Emperor was a ball......
"Okay, I know that General Huangfu also has his own difficulties. Now that Guangzong City is about to be conquered, I won't say much. As for thanks, I treat Elder Lu as an elder, no matter who I am, don't want to bully my elders and relatives. Sun Ling lightly responded to Huangfu Song's words, and the matter was over.
"Boom, boom." As soon as Sun Ling's words fell, he saw a torrent of iron horses not far from the camp rushing towards this direction like thunder, and the number of iron horses was so amazing that people couldn't see the tail at a glance.
"Enemy attack...... Get ready to fend off the enemy! Zhu Jun saw this iron horse coming, felt the vibration of the ground, and shouted bitterly.
Sun Ling looked at Zhu Jun, who seemed to be dead to his parents, and the panicked generals in surprise, and shouted: "You guys are messing around, that's my sword battalion." Will I not bring them out when I come? ”
"Uh......" Hearing Sun Ling's roar, the panicked crowd took a serious look into the distance, and saw that there was indeed a "Sun" flag erected in front of the iron horse, so they looked at Sun Ling awkwardly and smiled forcefully to hide their panic just now.
Everyone looked again, and at this time the heavy cavalry had come to the camp less than a mile away. Led by three generals wearing silver armor, one of them holding a double halberd, burly, at first glance is a fierce general, Le Ma stopped suddenly, shouted: "Ahead is the camp, move slowly!" ”
As the general shouted, the iron cavalry behind them slowed down as if they had made an appointment in advance, and the formation slowly came towards the camp.
"The order is forbidden, there is a cavalry that can stop like an infantry, and react so quickly, it is really a strong soldier in the world!" Huangfu Song looked at the sword camp less than a mile away from him in a daze, and said with emotion.
"Yes, the world's strongest soldiers live up to their name. The three generals led by him are even more extraordinary, and they are also rare fierce generals in the world. Venda: This is your sword battalion? Lu Zhi felt the same as Huangfu Song's feelings, looked at Sun Ling and asked.
As for other generals like Zhu Jun who had already looked stupid when they looked at the Badao Battalion, they didn't say anything......
The feelings of the two and the performance of the generals made Sun Ling very proud. "Old Lu, this is my sword battalion, they are my pride!"
"Okay, okay...... Everyone in the world knows that you are talented, but they don't know that you have such ability. It seems that Your Majesty's appointment of you as a hussar general has been well thought out. With such a strong soldier in hand, Wenda's future achievements will not be under the illness of the champion Hou Huo! Receiving Sun Ling's affirmative reply, Lu Zhi said happily.
Is Huo Qu sick? Regarding Lu Zhi's evaluation, although Sun Ling was happy but did not fully agree, if just this land could satisfy Sun Ling, then he would not bother to form this sword battalion.
"Lord!" Dian Wei took Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and Guo Jia and other four military advisors to Sun Ling and bowed down.
"Yes, that's good!" Looking at his own military generals, Sun Ling nodded with satisfaction.
"Gongming, you follow General Zhu Jun to set up the Badao Battalion, and then come to the camp to discuss matters. Let's go, let's discuss how this battle will be fought. ”
"Whoa!" Xu Huang was ordered to follow Zhu Jun to settle the Badao Battalion.
Led by Huangfu Song, everyone came to the camp tent in a mighty manner. After entering the tent, Sun Ling sat unceremoniously at the top position, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun stood beside him on the left and right.
"General Huangfu, please tell me about the current situation, I just came here and don't know what the situation is in Guangzong City now." After everyone was seated, Sun Ling asked.
"Now there are 70,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Guangzong City, of which 5,000 are the elite Yellow Turban "Yellow Turban Warriors", and the 70,000 Yellow Turbans in the city are forced by our army to defend the city, and they will not come out easily. The most important thing is Zhang Liang, who is wandering near Guangzong City, this person led 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to be stationed on the right side of Guangzong City, if our army attacks the city, they will take the opportunity to attack the rear of our army. Because of these yellow turbans, we didn't dare to attack Gwangjong City with all our might. And according to the report of the spies, Zhang Bao had already led 40,000 yellow scarves on the way to Guangzong City. Regarding the understanding of the battle situation, Huangfu Song obviously kept it in mind. As soon as Sun Ling asked, he blurted out without hesitation.
"Hmm...... If Zhang Baojun is allowed to join the yellow turbans in Guangzong City again, then there will be 160,000 yellow scarves here?! How many soldiers and horses does our army have? ”
"Our army originally had 80,000, but now counting the 10,000 sword battalions brought by the hussar generals, the total is 90,000 soldiers and horses. However, nearly 50,000 of the 80,000 soldiers were soldiers and horses of the rebels from all over the country, and many of them were untrained. Although there are 90,000, but when it comes to the 50,000 soldiers, Huangfu Song's words are also mixed with a trace of unconfidence.
The Han soldiers were already much stronger than the Yellow Turbans, so although there were 50,000 of them who were temporarily formed by the powerful from all over the country, it was enough for Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang not to act rashly.
"What do you think?" Sun Ling looked at the military division foursome and asked.
"Surround and fight!" The four of them said in unison. After the four of them said their plan, they saw that they had the same ideas, so they looked at each other and laughed.
"May I ask a few military advisors, how do you surround and fight them?" Huangfu Song saw that the four of them spoke in unison, and humbly asked for advice.
"General Huangfu can ask the lord, presumably the lord will be able to solve the general's doubts." Before the other three could speak, Guo Jia, who had a detached temperament, spoke first.
"......" Huangfu Song looked at Sun Ling speechlessly.
"Feng Xiao wants me to say yes, what if I say what you do?" From the four of them talking about surrounding and fighting, Sun Ling knew what their strategy was. Now that Guo Jia wants to take the school exam, of course, he has to ask him for some interest in advance.
"This ...... Forget it, I'll just talk about it later, don't dare to bother the lord! Guo Jia saw that Sun Ling was full of confidence, and his tone suddenly softened, Guo Jia didn't dare to gamble on Sun Ling's ability.
"Hehe, since you're going to test me, how can you do it without a bet? That's it for this time, if you want to embarrass me next time, be careful to withhold your drink. Knowing that Guo Jia was a fun-loving mentality, Sun Ling didn't take him seriously, and scolded with a smile.
"There's no next time, there's no next time. Hey, my lord, please speak! Hearing Sun Ling say that he wanted to deduct his drink, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a stir. smiled at Sun Ling, and then sat down abruptly.
Xun You and the others saw that Guo Jia was deflated at Sun Ling's place, pulled the corners of his mouth, his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud because he was discussing in the tent, which was very strange.
"What a few military advisors said about encircling and fighting means that you continue to surround Guangzong City and contain Zhang Jiao. My Badao battalion is responsible for clearing the yellow turbans outside the city, and then take Guangzong after cleaning up the yellow scarves outside the city. So can General Huangfu understand? Sun Ling explained.
"What does the general mean to use the 10,000 sword battalion to fight Zhang Liang outside the city, and we are responsible for preventing Zhang Jiao from going out of the city to rescue?" Huangfu Song said.
"It's right for you to contain Zhang Jiao, but you also have to add Zhang Liang. The Badao Battalion has another goal, didn't General Huangfu forget that there is still a road to the army? ”
Sun Ling really understood what they meant, and Guo Jia was a little glad that he didn't bet with him, otherwise it would be miserable now.
"The general means that Zhang Bao is on the road? Wonderful, if this plan is successful, the main forces of the Yellow Turbans will be wiped out. Only then did Huangfu Song react, and looked at Sun Ling and the four military advisors, his expression full of admiration.
"That's right, this is what the military advisers call encirclement and fighting, I call it "encirclement and reinforcement". This Guangzong City is a point, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are the two reinforcements, as long as Zhang Bao is taken first and then Zhang Liang is cleared with lightning speed, this Guangzong City is a lonely city, and it will be self-defeating. ”
"This strategy must be hidden to be able to hide Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, tonight I will lead the Badao battalion quietly out of the camp and ambush Zhang Bao. You must make a siege and draw their attention to you. Sun Ling looked at the generals in the tent and said.
"Whoa!" Huangfu Song and other generals responded in unison.
"Okay, go back and get ready for a good rest and get ready, and set off tonight."
Do you want to send reinforcements? I'm afraid that by the time Zhang Jiao reacts, Guangzong City will already be in a state of isolation, right? Looking at Sun Ling's deployment, everyone present secretly thought.
