Chapter Eighty-Three: News of Reinforcements

Fang Yu jumped down from the war horse station, and came to Gongsun Xu's Chinese army tent in a few strides.

Gongsun Xu had told the soldiers guarding the big tent a long time ago that as long as the scouts went to the big tent to report the battle situation, they would be allowed to leave, so when they saw that it was the scout captain Fang Yu, they nodded with a little respect, and immediately made way for Fang Yu.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the gate were directly allowed to go, Fang Yu walked quickly to Gongsun Xu's handsome case, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Report to General Gongsun, Lord Nanlin of Xinchang County has led three thousand military horses to camp ten miles away, and the men and horses of several other county towns are also converging towards the Nanlin Department. Ask an adult to give instructions on the next step. ”

Fang Yu has been under Gongsun Chan for many years, he has always been not very fond of Gongsun Xu, in his eyes, Gongsun Xu does not have the fan of Gongsun Zhan, he looks confused, like a straw bale.

Gongsun Xu fought a beautiful battle in Xingcheng, and then sent reinforcements to rescue Gongsun Zhan, and successfully defeated the troops of Chak and Zhang Ye, making Fang Yu start to look at Gongsun Xu with admiration.

Later, Gongsun Xu made a trebuchet and led his troops to wipe out Qingfeng Cottage and Storm Village without blood, starting from the hundreds of soldiers given by the old general Gongsun Zhan, reaching a scale of nearly 10,000 people.

Seeing Gongsun Xu's series of achievements and expansion speed, Fang Yu looked down on Gongsun Xu and turned into worship, and he would always give the fastest and best task to complete the tasks assigned by Gongsun Xu.

This time, when he went to investigate the traces of several enemy troops in Xinchang County, Fang Yu endured even more hardships and arranged the movements of the enemy army clearly.

The enemy's reinforcements finally came, and Gongsun Xu looked at Zhao Yun Hanyu and several other captain-level generals beside him, and a faint smile welled up on his face.

He turned his face, his expression turned solemn, he groaned slightly, and asked, "Captain Fang Yu, how is the strength of the enemy army, how is it deployed, how many cavalry are there, how many infantry are there." How many heavy cavalry. ”

Gongsun Xu has always had the rigor of later generations, just like he is also doing real estate trading, he must know the specific situation of his opponent, and only by knowing himself and his opponent can he not be defeated.

Whether it's a shopping mall or a battlefield, this kind of rigor will definitely be of great help to the battle situation.

In particular, Nanlin had some heavily armored cavalry under him, and he had to figure out this number first, and then make preparations in advance to arrange the troops.

Fang Yu raised his head and replied respectfully: "Returning to General Gongsun, there are between eight hundred and one thousand light cavalry in the Nanlin Department of Xinchang County, if the villain is not mistaken, it should be those cavalry who are promoted to the command of Nanlin."

The rest was infantry, and the configuration was similar to that of the regular army of the Han army, except that the number of archers was one layer higher. As for the heavy cavalry, it should not be more than fifty. Because of the reason why he hasn't shown up, the villain is really not sure.

There were about 2,000 people in the rest of the county, and of the 2,000 people, the cavalry accounted for the majority, and there should be about 1,200 people. ”

Fang Yu said rigorously what he had observed and the information that his scouts had gathered, especially in terms of the number of troops in each class, Fang Yu bit it to death, because he knew in his heart that the more accurate the information, the more it would allow the main general to make the best judgment and make the best battle plan.

Gongsun Xu led them to attack Xiangping this time, Fang Yu thought that the probability of success was very high, compared to Gongsun Xu's possession of such a big killing weapon as a trebuchet.

This kind of trebuchet is put into the siege battle, even if Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun are capable, they are absolutely powerless.

After Gongsun Xu listened to Fang Yu's words, a faint look of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately returned to normal.

When Gongsun Xu was collecting the information on Xiangping's side, although he was already very meticulous, he did not calculate that there would be such a number of people in several counties other than Xinchang County.

In particular, most of the extra cavalry increased the difficulty of the attack. Seeing Fang Yu's tired face, he smiled slightly and said, "Captain Fang Yu, I am very satisfied with the news you brought. I've been keeping the hard work in mind for a while, and the following things can be done by letting my subordinates run, so go back to the camp and have a good rest! When it comes to meritorious rewards, you will inevitably be missing Captain Fang Yu. ”

Seeing Fang Yu's stunned expression, Gongsun Xu shouted loudly: "Someone! Lord Fang Yu went back to the barracks to rest, and then instructed the kitchen to add a good meal to the scout camp, and serve a special dish that was usually made for me and General Zhao Yun. ”

For the most hard-working scout team under his command, Gongsun Xu has always been favored.

When a large army goes on an expedition, scouts are the most important, and a good scout team can win countless soldiers. The amount of energy required to raise a great scout is quite high.

Scouts must be able to ride and shoot well, must have a bright mind, be able to analyze the number of enemy troops through some clues, and be able to grasp the movements of enemy troops.

Every scout is a valuable asset, and what Gongsun continues to think about the most is that even if he can't keep Fang Yu and these scouts after this war, he must leave the deepest impression on them, and when he asks Fang Yu these scouts to help him lead the scouts, Fang Yu and they should be happy to help him build a scout team.

After letting the soldiers at the gate take Fang Yu down to rest, Gongsun Xu's hand swiped on the map of Xiangping, and said solemnly: "It seems that I still underestimate the forces on Xiangping's side, just the four counties around Xiangping can come out with nearly five thousand enemies, if we don't have so many trebuchets in our hands, this operation should be declared a failure." A few of you come over and see that the reinforcements led by Nanlin should be in this position. ”

Gongsun Xu marked the location of the reinforcements on the map with an eye-catching marker, and began to discuss the battle plan with Zhao Yun and Han Yu and other captains.

Nanlin's mood was very unhappy, Qiu Liju asked his brother for help, and after getting his help, he kicked him to the side of Xinchang County, and gave him space to repair, saying that Xiangping City was mixed with fish and dragons, and the soldiers of Wuhuan were not suitable there.

On the contrary, it was Qiu Liju's old ghost who was playing in Xiangping City, and he was having a lot of fun.

When there was a good thing, this damn guy selectively forgot about him, and the soldiers of the Han army appeared, and they were in trouble, and they had to fight desperately, and they remembered them.

If you don't rush to help Qiu Liju, Xiangping, where the goods are located, will be defeated, and his brother's plan to build a difficult building will fail, whether it is for the benefit of the great unification of Karasuma's founding of the country, or for the strategic plan, he must rescue Qiu Liju.
