Chapter 769: Countermeasures
Yuan Shao retreated to the camp in defeat, strictly guarding against the door and not coming out, his situation was very similar to the iron wall not long ago, which shows how far he has fallen now!
was calculated by Zhang Fan, defeated for a while, and folded the general Tai Shi Ci and the god of war, the morale of the Yuan army can be said to have dropped again and again, and they lost nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses in that big battle, which means that more than half of the casualties were lost, such losses are absolutely heart-wrenching, and countless hot-blooded men can never come back, this is the price of war.
Or rather, this is the terrible price of defeat!
Zhang Fan won for a while, and after counting the battlefield, he led the army back to Boyang City, he lost sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses in this battle, much less than Yuan Shao, but it also made him heartache for a while, after all, the number of his army was not much, and these people were all soldiers of the main station troops, all of them were elite, and the loss of one was enough for Zhang Fan to feel heartache, not to mention so many people?
"Yuan Shao's army is really elite, and it can counterattack so far in this situation!" Everyone sighed.
Although it is a pity, but the victory is always worth celebrating, Boyang City swept away the decline and became unprecedented excitement, and Zhang Fan also went to visit Yan Liang, who was seriously injured, Yan Liang was injured by Tai Shi Ci before, lying on the bed, and did not fight, which made him very annoyed, but after learning that Tai Shi Ci was killed, he still laughed again and again: "Thank you Lord for avenging me with an arrow!" ”
"You recuperate well and strive for a speedy recovery, and I am looking forward to the day when I can fight side by side with you again!" Zhang Fan said.
Yan Liang was grateful, what Lord Guild would be so kind to him for such a defeat? With such a lord, what more can a husband ask for?
After greeting for a while, Zhang Fan told Yan Liang to rest a lot, then got up and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, now although Yuan Shao lost a battle, he is not without the strength to fight again, and he must be completely defeated in order to really gain a foothold in Qingzhou.
Zhang Fan got straight to the point: "Yuan Shao is a wolf with ambitions, and he took the initiative to attack, I want to drive him out of Jizhou, do the princes have any plans?" ”
Slightly silent, Tian Feng said: "Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated for a while, the army's morale is unstable, at least before the soldiers and horses are dispatched, we will not fight, we should take the initiative to attack, turn the advantage into victory, and recover Qingzhou in one fell swoop, so that we will occupy the land of the two states, and the world can be expected!" ”
Xu Shu nodded in agreement: "Yuan Shaojun's morale is low, it is the time to use force, but you still can't be careless, you need to be cautious!" ”
He said: "Yuan Shao's military advisor is Yang Xiu, this person is smart, but the enemy is expected to be the first, I didn't check before, I almost lost it, and if I attack again, I must consider this, otherwise it is likely that there will be a mistake!" ”
Yang Xiu is indeed a problem, although this person is too sharp, but there is no doubt that he is a powerful strategist, and he has a very good set of marching and fighting, now that Yuan Shao is defeated, Yang Xiu must have made a lot of arrangements, and if the enemy advances, he is likely to fall into the trap, and then the advantage will be gone.
If you talk about the understanding of these historical celebrities, the players must be the most vocal, and Zhang Fan said: "Although Yang Xiu is strong, it is inevitable that he will be smart, we can start from this point and calculate against him!" ”
At this point, force is no longer crucial, the army is not a few people to fight and kill, strategy is very important, if the enemy is too light, I am afraid that Zhang Fan will become the second Lu Bu and be calculated to death.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, everyone was silent for a while, Zhang Fan frowned and thought for a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned to Tian Feng and said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, if you don't know that there is Yang Xiu in Yuan Shao's army, how will you make a plan?" ”
Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Zhang Fan asked such a question, but he still said: "First send someone to feint and make a posture of attacking Yuan Shao's army, secretly send someone to make a slight detour, capture Linzong City behind Yuan Shao's camp, cut off the supply road of Yuan Shao's army, and let the rear two sides attack, Yuan Shao will definitely not be able to resist!" ”
"Brilliant plan!" Everyone present was amazed, a good trick to repair the plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang, if it can really be successfully implemented, Yuan Shao's camp will become a cage, if you don't come out, you will starve to death because of the lack of food and grass supply, and you have to face the strong attack of Zhang Fan's army when you come out, and the probability of Yuan Shao's defeat is as high as nine out of nine!
It is indeed a clever plan, but the problem is that Yang Xiu must have also considered this, and there will be a surprising arrangement, which is likely to make Zhang Fan steal chickens and rice, this person is terrifying!
After Tian Feng finished speaking, he set his eyes on Zhang Fan, he knew that since Zhang Fan asked each other, he must have his intentions.
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, and suddenly turned to Xu Shu again: "Yuan Zhi, if you are Yang Xiu, how can you resist such a scheme?" ”
Xu Shu's eyes lit up, and he said after a slight sigh: "Regardless of these for the time being, there is one thing we must be clear, that is, Yuan Shao's camp is now an advance base, and Yuan Shao is now at a disadvantage, and it is impossible to take the initiative to attack in a short time, so this camp is actually dispensable!" ”
Seeing everyone nodding, he said: "If I am Yang Xiu, I will first send a general to secretly reinforce Linzong City, and then send a general to ambush in the secret place between the camp and Linzong, if the enemy comes to attack, then Linzong will hold on, I will set up a false flag in the camp, so that the soldiers who feint do not dare to rush forward, and I will lead the main army to withdraw from the rear, and then march towards Linzong City, and launch a rapid offensive against the enemy soldiers and horses attacking here, and then the defenders in Linzong City can also assist, attack on both sides, and the enemy army will be defeated!" And once the enemy army fails, it will definitely look for an opportunity to retreat, and then the army in ambush in the secret place can take the opportunity to kill, so that it will be difficult for the enemy to leave, which will cause great losses, and he can take the opportunity to recover the previous disadvantage! ”
Zhang Fan was slightly startled, thought about it carefully, and was suddenly shocked in his heart, if things really develop to that point, I am afraid that it will be really difficult for him to retreat from the front line in time, not to mention the big defeat, at least the loss of troops is certain, and so many losses are exchanged for a large battalion that is dispensable for Yuan Shao, it is really not worth it!
"Fortunately, I have two big plans, otherwise things will be really difficult to do, and there is only one way to die if I attack rashly!"
Zhang Fan had to sigh at his good luck, and suddenly he chuckled lightly, and said: "With Yuanzhi's strategy, what is made must be the best choice, I believe that Yang Xiu's house will definitely have the same arrangement, since this is the case, we will go one step further, and replace the attack on Linzong with a feint, and when Yang Xiu comes, we will give a head-on attack, how about it?" ”
"Yes!" Tian Feng and Xu Shu all nodded and praised: "The lord is thoughtful, every time he is one step faster, as the so-called chess is high, how can this battle be invincible?" ”
Everyone discussed for a while, making up for some small flaws in the plan, everyone expressed their own opinions, heated discussions, and soon a nearly perfect battle plan was placed in front of Zhang Fan's case, so that Zhang Fan couldn't help laughing: "I have your help, why not be afraid of Yuan Shao?" ”
