Fortunately, Zhang Chao also knew that Ma Chao didn't mean to, so he didn't do anything to him, but just demoted himself. But it was enough to make the others feel scared. Think about it, a corps commander, a second-grade military attaché, Zhang Chao said that he would withdraw, and in addition to Zhao Yun, who has a higher position than Ma Chao?

Taking Ma Chao as an example, it is indeed an effective deterrent to others. Of course, what scares everyone more is the last word.

In ancient times, there was still a big difference between punishment and killing.

Killing, often only against the person concerned, can be called killing.

Punishment, it is indeed a punishment. And when the time comes, whether it is the three clans or the nine clans, it depends on the situation. But no matter which one you have, not the people in the tent can afford it.

For this reason, as soon as Zhang Chao's voice fell, it was no wonder that everyone felt scared.

Seeing that Zhao Yun knelt on the ground and shouted long live, Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction. As a king, you must not only learn to be gracious, but also have enough majesty, this is the combination of rigidity and softness, this is the way to give both soft and hard.

"Listen to the Zhongqing, even if there is a seven-grade official system, naturally the high grade can control the low grade, which no one can disobey. Even if you have a thousand reasons, you must obey first, appeal according to the regular channels, and if there is really a problem, you will deal with it, and even reward the low-level and severely punish the high-level. However, those who dare to refute on the spot will be punished as treason. This item will then be written into the laws of the Celestial Empire, do you have any opinions? ”

"No, no, no, the ministers don't, the emperor is sage." Who would dare to stand up and say no at this time. is saying that Zhang Chao's words are defending them, after all, those who can be included in the account are high-ranking officials, and this is a means to consolidate their power, which is a good thing.

"Okay." Seeing that no one raised objections, Zhang Chao continued: "This time, the Dragon Tiger Legion and the Dragoon Legion have won a great victory under the leadership of Zilong, and I am very satisfied. But what I'm trying to say is that this is just the beginning. Rus is a nation that is good at fighting, and it is also a strong nation, and the victory of these two battles alone cannot make them succumb, and the next thing we have to do is to completely defeat them. Three years ago, we were able to beat them once, and we can still do it now. Now I ask you to get ready when you go back, and I will have a decisive battle with the Rus outside the city of Adan, and I will defeat them head-on, and I will destroy their confidence, and I will let them know that it is a nightmare for them to be against us. ”

Zhang Chao finally said the reason why the soldiers were under the city of Adaner, that is, he wanted to start a great battle here, defeat the Rus army, and raise the prestige of the Heavenly Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhang Chao also hoped that through this battle, he could defeat the arrogance of the Rus Kingdom and let them know that the Celestial Empire was inviolable.

Making such a decision is also a helpless move by Zhang Chao.

Although the Celestial Empire has developed rapidly over the years, after all, the time is too short, and the foundation is still insufficient. Even the Central Plains have not been unified, and it is not wise to fight to the end with the Rus State now, maybe they can achieve an early victory, but after a long time, once it becomes a protracted war, the Rus are sending strong troops in the country, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei are making trouble behind their backs, I am afraid that the Celestial Empire will not last long, at least the final victory will be difficult to belong to them.

That is the case, Zhang Chao made a decision, that is, to clean up the Ross with strong strength, with the purpose of striking at their main force and momentum. Once he wins and makes the other party feel terrible, he will retreat. This is equivalent to giving a slap in the face first, and giving a sweet date, unless the Rus Kingdom wants to fight them to the bottom, otherwise, they should be accepted when they see it, and in this way, the Celestial Empire will have ample opportunities for development.

Regarding this purpose, Zhang Chao insisted that it could be achieved, don't say it, just say that the emperor of the Rus Kingdom is now old, and he should not have the courage to play with his life when he was young, and when the time comes, he should have a great chance of success if he operates it well.

Zhang Chao decided to take advantage of this flat and open land to fight a decisive battle with the main army of Rus, in fact, this is indeed a good battlefield, and the open land is also suitable for the army to attack.

And the day after Zhang Chao gave the order, when the five legions of the Celestial Empire were preparing for a battle, the second legion of the Rus' country in the city of Adaner, that is, the former southern legion, also entered the city, and Alexander, the general of the legion and one of the five tiger generals of Rus, also rushed here.

As soon as Alexander arrived, Yegor led the army of the city to meet him at the gates, and when he saw the general of the legion, he fell to his knees with a thud and shouted: "Your Excellency, Yegor greets you." ”

"Get up." Alexander did not raise his eyelids and said, "Where is General Anton, why didn't he come to greet me?" ”

"General, General Anton died in battle, he was ambushed by the army of the Celestial Empire, and he has already been martyred." When Yegor said this, he cried with a hint of sadness.

"Oh?" Hearing that Anton was actually dead, Alexander's thick eyebrows moved slightly, "You have been ambushed, how many men and horses are still in the city?" ”

"Report to the General, there are only 15,000 soldiers in the city. On the other side is indeed a nearly one million Celestial Empire army. Yegor hurriedly reported on the current situation on both sides of the battlefield.

"An army of millions, chickens and dogs, not enough to fear." Although Alexander heard the battle report, he did not show the slightest fear on his face, which was the confidence of the five tiger generals. In fact, he doesn't know how many battles he has fought in his life to win more with less, not to mention that he now has 500,000 soldiers, this is the elite Second Legion, even in the whole country, it is second only to the Northern Legion and the existence of the First Legion, with this combat power, why be afraid.

"The General is mighty." Hearing Alexander's disapproval, Yegor said on his knees, and at this moment his high heart was also relaxed. To tell the truth, since the arrival of the Tiantian Dynasty army, he has been afraid that the other party will attack, and he knows that if that happens, he and his 15,000 men will not be able to stop him. Now that the Second Legion has arrived, he can rest assured.

Yegor respectfully greeted Alexander and the others into the city. Later, the news was also spread to Zhang Chao's tent fifteen miles outside the city.

Just like today, Zhang Chao retreated the military tent for five miles, and then set aside a full fifteen miles of space for the war. And as soon as these things were done, news came that Rus' reinforcements had arrived.

When the news reached Zhang Chao's ears, he smiled without fear of rejoicing: "Very good, the second legion of the Rus Kingdom?" Then let me see who's better. Tell the generals to be ready for battle. ”

Zhang Chao already had a lot of information about the Second Legion, which was also the credit of the previous Tianyan Organization.

Zhang Chao never fought uncertain battles, and in line with the basic principle of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, he still read some important general information of the Second Army of the Rus' State again.

Alexander, the commander of the Second Legion of the Rus' State, was born in the famous Wang clan of the Rus' State, and since he was a child, he has shown martial arts that is stronger than others, and has won a championship in a single military competition in the Rus' State, and has been the leader of the Southern Army.

This person is very brave and brave, and he can become one of the five tiger generals of the Russ country, not only because of his background, but also because of his own ability. It is no exaggeration to say that even among the generals of the entire Rus' country, they are also among the top three.

Zhang Chao secretly estimated in his heart, if it is said that with the situation of heads-up, he can guarantee a complete victory over Alexander, I am afraid that Lu Bu has such an ability, and secondly, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Dian Wei and others may also be able to fight with them for hundreds of rounds, but when it comes to victory, I don't know how long it will take to fight.

It's a pity that Lu Bu didn't come this time, the family also needs to be stable, and Lu Bu stays in the event of a big war, which can play an effective role in shocking. Fortunately, he also has Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Wen Chou and other fierce generals in front of him, but he is naturally fearless.

After Alexander, the Second Army had two fierce generals who had to be mentioned, namely Leonid (translated as lion) and Maxim (translated as the greatest).

These two people, the former is infinitely powerful, the latter is tall and strong, they are both generals who have won a hundred battles, and their personal strength cannot be underestimated.

Zhang Chao's subordinates are also said to be fierce generals, and wise men are like rain. But he really never dared to be arrogant, the so-called strong has its own strong hand, a mountain and a mountain high, especially a big country like the Rus country that rarely comes into contact, if it is said that their strength is average, then he himself does not believe it.

This battle is to settle the situation in a battle, it is to make a name for himself in a war, Zhang Chao wants to win, and he will never allow the slightest mistake, so the information of the three of them has become the object of his main research, and even includes the opponent's tactics and formations.

When it comes to fighting, we have to mention tactics and formations.

The so-called method of warfare is to restrain each other, for example, the opponent is mostly archers, then you have to borrow shield soldiers against the enemy; The opponent is mostly shield soldiers, so you have to use cavalry; If the opponent is cavalry, you will use pikemen; If the opponent has a lot of pikemen, you have to use archers. This is the restraint of life and life, and if used well, it will inevitably have the effect of twice the result with half the effort.

When talking about formations, there are arrow arrays, triangular arrays, pin-shaped arrays, one-word long snake arrays, five-shaped gossip arrays, and so on.

If the formation is used well, it can also play an extremely important role in the victory of the war.
