Chapter 205: Strict Guard
In the depths of the twilight, there is the majestic Mount Tai.
When the majestic figure of Mount Tai really appeared in front of him, Zhang Rao burst into tears, and he had the urge to kneel down and pray.
He was so excited, of course, not because of the joy of seeing Daizong for the first time, but purely because the journey had finally reached the end and the light was finally seen ahead.
From Laiwu to Fenggao, the total distance is less than 200 miles, and the army has walked for thirteen days!
The march does not exceed twenty miles a day, which is about the same as the speed of a million troops moving from Qi to Mount Tai, but the army has obviously gone to the chaff and left the burden far behind. br/>
It's been a tough journey!
Except for a few dock forts, there was not much resistance on the road, and the name of a million yellow turbans was enough to scare the heroes and people who were desperate for their lives and fled far away. Even the only big county town on the road, ╠╠ Yingxian, has become an empty city, and there is no obstacle at all.
The only, and most fatal, problem is that the Tarzan light rider who does not go away and hates it more than the most sticky flies!
Zhang Rao tried all methods, but in the end it didn't work.
The cavalry counter, which was originally very promising, was ambushed by Taishan's light cavalry in a row because the soldier's fighting spirit was too strong, and as a result, the 3,000 cavalry that was easily formed lost more than 30% in three days, with an average loss of 300 a day!
In the end, Zhang Rao had to equip all the armor and shields with the troops walking on the periphery of the queue, and then organized the soldiers to use throwing guns and stones to counterattack, which barely resisted the harassment of Taishan's light cavalry, causing the other party to suffer large casualties.
Because the Tarzan army has never engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Even if there are casualties, they will take their comrades away, so Zhang Rao can't be sure how many casualties the other party has, he can only estimate from the intensity and frequency of harassment.
The casualties of the other side are about thirty percent, that is, more than three hundred.
It looks good, but the price paid by the Yellow Turbans is more than ten times the casualties, and the march time is nearly ten days longer than expected!
Zhang Rao didn't know the famous saying of later generations: Time is life, but he understood. During the ten days of delay on the road, Wang Yu was definitely not idle.
In the night attack of Duchang, Taishan only lost dozens of people, and now, Wang Yu has taken a full three hundred horsemen for these ten days! Although the losses on his side were greater, because the march was slow, the food and grass were consumed a lot, and the fatigue of the soldiers was also increasing. However, the other party's goal is certainly not so simple!
Grain and grass can be grabbed. Wang Yu's descendants are all in Fenggao City, and the other cities are all in the pocket of the army!
Fatigue can be recovered, and now that the army has come to the city, even if it snows heavily, it will not delay anything, anyway, he has no intention of attacking the city immediately.
Perhaps, as Guan Hai said, what conspiracy is being planned by the other party......
Zhang Rao suddenly regretted a little, he knew that he should have discussed this topic with Guan Hai in depth in the first place. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the coward left behind him and fled into the mountains to the south.
But it's nothing, evil can't win over good, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can't lose this battle!
"Encamp! Hold the camp strong. Dig a deeper trench for Ben Shuai! What the? The soil is frozen and can't dig it? Who said that, believe it or not, Lao Tzu directly stripped him naked and threw him into the ice cave! Scared? If you're scared, don't go quickly! "
"Send more spies out to reconnoitre, within a radius of twenty miles, not a single tree! Under the stones, I opened it for Lao Tzu to look at carefully. Whoever misses it, Lao Tzu will fill the pit with him! "
"Send some more men to check the ground in the camp...... Do? Don't you know that there are hidden pits and tunnels? Then Wang Pengju is cunning, maybe he dug the pit in advance, just waiting for us to jump in! Poke with a bamboo pole and chisel with an axe! No matter what he uses, he must make sure that there is no weirdness for Lao Tzu! "
The minions were also relieved, but before they could catch their breath, they were driven by Zhang Dashuai.
"Isn't this idle? It's just enough to dig more trenches, cut down trees and burn them as firewood, or build siege equipment, what is it to turn over stones, and someone can hide under it? There are also hidden pits...... Who can't think so much about this cold winter wax moon, digging a pit and hiding underground? Wintering voles?"
"Da Shuai is indeed a little ...... However, it's okay to be careful, after all, we are going to fight against that Wang Pengju, this person has a lot of fancy intestines, if he doesn't keep the camp airtight, maybe he will really let him in."
"Anyway, the marshal also said that after setting up camp, you can rest for three days, and then besiege or attack other cities...... It's better to be tired than to lose the battle, and the commander also studied the art of war before giving the order, so don't complain."
"That's right."
The Yellow Turban generals began to complain and slander in private, but as soon as they were dismissed by a few veteran leaders, everyone's morale was calm. It's not a bad thing for the commander to have a strategy.
Speaking of which, after such an arrangement, the main camp should be regarded as an iron pass, as long as there are no accidents in the big battalion, no matter how many small losses are suffered, the final victory will belong to their side!
Thinking about it like this, the complaints turned into strength, and the Yellow Turban army was in full swing.
There are many people and great strength, and when I look at the head of Fenggao City, I see a large camp like an iron wall, which is built at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
"Fence, uh, I guess it's a fence, almost two feet, right?" Wang Yu looked at the enemy camp in the distance.
"It's not far away, it's not far away." Jia Xu squinted his eyes and responded slowly.
"There are enough trenches in this trench, deep enough, and there are also dense horses and deer, Komei, remember to be cautious when you attack." Wang Yu casually instructed.
"Don't worry, my lord." Xu Huang solemnly promised.
"And ...... They're poking all over the ground, is this Feng Shui?"
"Obviously, they're worried about the authenticity." Jia Xu snorted.
"This camp is really stable enough, much stronger than the one that the Xiliang army set up in Heyin." Wang Yu smacked his tongue and said, "This Zhang Rao doesn't seem to be under the rules of the text in this regard."
"Can that be the same? Niu Fu didn't take the Hanoi army in his eyes at all that day, he just set up a camp on a routine basis, in fact, he was not wrong, who knew that he would meet you? ?
Jia Xu said a fair word for the old club, then raised his hand and pointed to the city and sighed: "You are now famous, this Zhang Dashuai has been harassed by you all the way, and he has also woken up very much...... Poor thing! "
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, Zhang Rao spent so much effort to keep the camp airtight, and finally found that all this was in vain The moment of despair, the despair and sadness in his heart are probably several times greater than the original Niu Fu.
After all, Niu Fu can still find some excuses, such as not knowing that there is a monster like Wang Yu, and he didn't take strict precautions, the most important thing is that he still had sad things at the time, and he was divided into a lot of energy and so on.
But Zhang Rao, he has done his homework, strictly guarded against it, and did not slack off at all? Spoon midges (11) frames? br/>
Jia Xu shook his head, he really sympathized with the other party.
People are very good at making excuses and comforting their creatures, so even if Niu Fu's situation is miserable, he is still strong and alive. But if one day, when someone finds that he can't find any excuse for his failure, his mental defense will collapse and the end will be miserable......
Out of his mind, Wang Yu had already left, Jia Xu didn't chase after him when he came back to his senses, and grabbed Xu Huang and shook his head at the other party. Anyway, everything that needs to be done has been done, and there is nothing to say, and at this moment, you have to give the lord some private space, right?
He looked at Xu Huang with an inexplicable face, and an irrelevant thought flashed in his heart, it was time to give Gongming Zhang Luo a look and let him start a family, right? Otherwise, he is always so incomprehensible, who can stand it?? br/>
"Boom!"
When Wang Yu walked down the city wall, the first person to meet him was not Cai Yan or Diao Chan, but Wu Qi.
"Man, don't worry, next time, next time we'll go to the battlefield together." Wang Yu put one hand around the neck of the black horse, and combed the long mane of the beloved horse with the other.
After being appeased by his master, Wu Hu stopped his restlessness and looked at his master steadily, with a strong sense of resentment in his eyes, like a wronged child.
This horse is human, and it may not be a good thing.
Wang Yu sighed secretly in his heart, and said softly: "Don't worry, there will be more battles in the future, and it will be too late for you to be tired, I really can't be with you this time, so you can rest first."
"Boom ......" The black horse hissed again, but the voice was much lower, as if he understood.
After two pats on the neck of the beloved horse, Wang Yu turned around and met two pairs of autumn-like eyes.
"It's going to be fine, it's just a rabble, and it's easy to solve."
The two girls were unmoved, they had heard similar explanations several times, but they were still worried in their hearts, like there were many knives scraping on their hearts, and they seemed to be hanging in the void, empty and unsettled.
"By the way, what about my father and Uncle Cai? My mother didn't hear the wind, did she?" Unable to persuade him, Wang Yu tried to change the topic.
"Mother doesn't know yet, my father is accompanying her, Uncle Cai is sorting out books in the academy, but he also looks a little uneasy, Xiaoshou, you ......" Diao Chan's beautiful eyes were red, obviously she had cried, and she wanted to stop talking, which made people feel pity.
"Brother Yu, the concubine and Sister Diao Chan, I want to ...... with you" Maybe because of the cooperation on the battlefield from the beginning, Cai Yan looked much stronger.
"Together?" Wang Yu looked at Cai Yan suspiciously.
"Well, my sister said, before the war, you have a plan, that opportunity, the concubine and my sister are just right, and they can help." The voice is soft, but the tone is firm and cannot be refused.
"You're coming?" Wang Yu was slightly stunned, and the next moment, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, then you guys, let's go into battle together and quell the Qingzhou Rebellion!"
