Chapter 802 Pang Tong's Analysis

Compared with destroying the main army of the Celestial Empire, Ye Sening believes that being able to take down the emperor of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Chao, is a more significant achievement.

General Yesenin aimed at Zhang Chao, which made the pressure on Dahushan much less. Originally, Ivan II sent two large armies to help General Pudding and Mikhail, because General Yesenin suddenly changed his goal, and only Yakov's army arrived here.

But even so, the Rus' army near the Great Tiger Mountain numbered 1.8 million people. Compared to this, although there were also Celestial Empire Road troops coming in the later period, just like Liang Xing's infantry road army of 200,000 people, but to say, they only had six legions, a total of one million people.

With 1 million against 1.8 million, the disparity in strength is unimaginable, and the situation of the war has become very unstable.

This is still because of the appearance of Zhang Chao, which attracted 600,000 troops of General Yesening, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no suspense in the outcome of the battle of Dahushan.

The battle report in front was almost an hour, and it was about to be delivered to the emperor Zhang Chao who was in a hurry. When he saw that the situation in Dahushan was becoming more and more tense, he was anxious, but he was indeed a little helpless, because even he himself was now being targeted, although the 200,000 troops he led were all elite, but the opponent was indeed 600,000, and it was also a bitter battle.

Zhang Chao's face was very bad, and the accompanying divisions, the former Second Army Corps Feng Ji and the Pioneer Legion Army Master Pang Tong were also standing in front of the sand table and observing, considering ways to solve things.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear." Pang Tong, who had been staring at the sand table for a long time, frowned, as if he couldn't figure out something.

"Shi Yuan is puzzled, let's hear it." Zhang Chao put down the information in his hand and looked at it calmly. He knew Pang Tong's ability, even if this person took the initiative to speak, there should be some important discovery.

Seeing Zhang Chao attaching so much importance to it, Pang Tong didn't dare to say bigly: "Your Majesty, the battle situation is now, and the two sides can be said to have exhausted their strength, but why didn't we see the figure of Commander Huang Zhong?" If he didn't know anything about such a big thing, it would be unconvincing. ”

"Oh!" After Pang Tong's reminder, Zhang Chao remembered Huang Zhong's matter, which is also blamed on him focusing on the vicinity of Dahu Mountain and forgetting to pay attention to other issues. Now after saying this, he also hurriedly stood in front of the sand table, with a thoughtful look.

After a long time, a flash of joy flashed in Zhang Chao's eyes: "What does Shiyuan mean..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the commander of the Huang Legion may have already arrived at the city of Pahan." Pang Tong said in a speculative tone, but at the same time, there was a hint of difficulty in his tone.

"That's right. Hansheng will do just that. He knew that he couldn't change the situation of the battle if he appeared, so even if he was a soldier, it was not impossible. Originally, Zhang Chao also had a trace of suspicion, but now after Pang Tong's reminder, he figured it out right now.

As the commander of the Second Army Corps, on the battlefield of the Northern Front, his status is second only to the existence of Lu Bu, and it is impossible for him not to hear of such a big battle in Dahushan, and it has not appeared until now, so there is only one possibility, that is, he has his own decision. Even if you join the battlefield, you can't reverse the defeat, so if you don't go straight to Huanglong, at least there is a chance of victory.

And if this is the case, it is very likely that the tide of the war will change, and it is not clear that it will develop in a good direction.

Thinking of the possibility that might appear, Zhang Chao's eyes were full of hope, and he knew that if the battle situation developed in the direction he imagined, then he still had the possibility of a fight.

"Okay, I hope Hansheng will do this. But no matter what, we must also strengthen our beliefs, first solve the enemy in front of us, and arrange for Zhang Rui, Zhang Feng, Zhang Shou, Zhang Dao, Zhang Jian, and Zhang Gun to come to see me. At this moment, Zhang Chao's long-lost self-confidence seemed to have regained, and his spirit was much more uplifted at this moment.

General Yesenin completely blocked Zhang Chao's army after it had left Adan City for two hundred miles.

Seeing that a few miles away, the yellow military flag of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire was flying high, and an excited smile appeared on the corner of Ye Sening's mouth. "Okay, great, if you can capture the emperor of the Celestial Empire, this battle will not have to be fought, and I will also make immortal achievements, hahahaha."

Yesenin was very excited, he actually blocked the emperor of the Celestial Empire with a large army, it is conceivable that once he won the war, it would be a battle to determine the world, in that case, it would be difficult for him to think of fame, at that time the glory and wealth will automatically fall on his head, in this way, he is the first fierce general of the Rus country, the first hero.

Thinking of the various rewards he would get, now he wished that he could capture Zhang Chao and return triumphantly.

"Come on, organize the charge, I want to take down the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty and give it to His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Ye Senin, who was a little excited, turned a little red at the moment, just like a wolf when he saw a fat sheep.

Directly in front of the 600,000 Rus' army, the soldiers of the 100,000 Legion were ready for a battle, holding swords and guns in a regimental unit of 2,000 people.

Behind the 100,000 army, there are 100,000 soldiers of the 100,000 legions who are responsible for the task of support. They supplied consumables such as bows and arrows for battle, as well as medicines, food and grass needed during the war.

Zhang Chao has always thought that there are too many factors involved in winning a war, such as whether the general is brave or not, whether the soldiers dare to use their lives, whether the morale of the army is high, and whether the logistics supply is timely.

In modern warfare, it is often said that fighting a war is fighting money, and Zhang Chao deeply agrees with this view. In his opinion, the same is true of ancient warfare. Just imagine, how can such a large army be demoralized with a well-equipped army and strong logistical supply. When they faced an enemy who had problems even eating and closing, the outcome of the battle seemed to be victorious without a fight.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Chao has always attached great importance to logistics and supply. This time, half of the 200,000-strong army was responsible for the logistics work, which shows the degree of importance.

100,000 soldiers were in front, divided into a full fifty formations in regiments, blocking the possible mission attack direction of the Rus' army. In addition, there are 50,000 Zhang Jiajun, including 20,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry, who are also ready to counterattack at any time.

As long as Huang Zhong can really appear in front of Ivan and give a threat as he analyzed before, then the Rus army will not attack itself, and then it will be time for them to fight back with all their might.

It can be said that Zhang Chao has regained his confidence and is ready to fight back with all his might, and now everything is ready, just look at the performance of Huang Zhong's army.

Phra Han City.

The location of the northern gateway to the city of Great Rus, the capital of the Rus' state, made its military strategic location very important. Even when Yaxiong Fuqiang was still alive, he had always hoarded heavy troops here in order to prepare for any unexpected events that might occur.

Since the two princes split and began to attack each other, Pahan City has also become a place that the second prince Ivan attaches great importance to, and heavy military defense has always been arranged here. It's just that all of this has changed because of the invasion of the Celestial Empire's army.

After getting the signal from General Mikhail and General Pudding to outflank the army of the Celestial Empire, the general Yesenin, who was originally guarding here, drove out of Pahan City with the army, which made the city defense here empty in history, and the city that was originally stationed at least hundreds of thousands of troops was now only 20,000 defenders.

That's all, Yesenin still thinks that 20,000 people are not a lot left. After all, the current enemy, the army of the Celestial Empire, will be difficult to protect itself, so who will have time to trouble Pahan City. Even the 20,000 people left behind were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were left behind just to deter some outlaws from the Rus' country in the city. After all, if such a large city does not have enough troops to take care of it, it will definitely be chaotic.

Yesenin thought that no one would come to trouble the city of Pahan, which was a sign of carelessness, or a reason for being too confident. However, on the battlefield, although self-confidence is a good thing, excessive self-confidence is likely to bring disastrous consequences.

Like now, in the woods ten miles outside the city, a cavalry team in black armor is gathering here. If you can look down from the sky, you will find that the number of this cavalry is very spectacular, I am afraid that the number is nearly 100,000.

This is the cavalry road army led by Commander Huang Zhong.

Regarding the battle in Dahu Mountain, Huang Zhong had already known about it from the mouth of the cavalry scouts.

After getting the news that Lu Bu and other road troops were all besieged near Dahu Mountain, that even the emperor Zhang Chao was also personally driving, he did not rush to the direction of Dahu Mountain at the first time, but traveled all the way to the outside of Pahan City.

In the battle in Dahu Mountain, the contrast between the forces of the two sides was too great, even if he brought 100,000 cavalry to join it, it would be difficult to have any effect, and there was even the possibility of being defeated and severely damaged.

If this is the case, why rush there, it is better to make a surprise attack on Pahan City, which directly threatens the safety of the second prince Ivan, and may play a role in encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

As Pang Tong and Zhang Chao analyzed, Huang Zhong really wanted to make a move to smash Huanglong, and he would succeed in a battle.

Just by doing this, there is naturally a chance to solve the crisis of Dahu Mountain, but it is also equivalent to putting yourself in danger. Because no matter whether this battle can be successful or not, the second prince Ivan will definitely send heavy troops to besiege him. In other words, the 100,000 cavalry he brought with him is likely to face the result of entering and not leaving.
