"My lord, the Daqi family has broken away from us and established itself as a monarch. "There is a shadow to report.

Zhang Ye waved away the shadow and asked the two rows of subordinates under the seat, "What do you think?" ”

"The city of the Daqi family is the closest to Yanshan City, and it is General Zhang Dongjiang over there. "The Ghost Court is very old, but its voice is powerful.

"Daqi is only a very small force, with less than a thousand troops. I'm willing to take my legion with me. "Look, it's Xiao Shilang. Exuding confidence all over the body. He is already a general.

"Ghost Court. ”

"The minister is here. ”

"You go and communicate with the Tian family and the Shangguan family, and let them send troops. "I discussed with Ah Shi last night, and finally decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and eliminate the Ma family at one time.

"Yes...... But. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Ye looked inquisitively.

Ghost Ting said: "There is no problem with the Tian family. ”

"Shangguan's family?"

"That's your mother's family, you should go. ”

Also. Zhang Ye nodded silently.

"Are you going to see your mother today, don't take me with you. ”

Zhang Ye said with a smile, "You better take care of your subordinates, I see that they are eager to try it as soon as they hear about the war." ”

"Hehe, you didn't give them a name, so you gave Maeda a small group leader. The others are still soldiers. ”

"Well, that's the elite team. Just wait for them to make meritorious contributions. ”

"I think it's cannon fodder. ”

Zhang Ye was embarrassed.

After ten years, the Shangguan family used to have one book, and now it is one book and four branches. Under the management of Shangguan Chenguang and Shangguan Yiji, the brothers and sisters, they are thriving. Much of this is due to Shangguan Yoshihime's outstanding internal affairs.

"Oh, my nephew is back, please, please. Shangguan Chenguang blushed. Today, his country can be regarded as a daimyo in. Whoever wants to do it must first weigh themselves.

"Hello uncle. ”

"Good nephew, where have you been all these years, there is no news, and your mother has been sad for a long time. ”

"My mother is fine. ”

"Well, that's too good to be true. You're visiting your mother, I'm being amorous. But you can't see it, your mother went to the Li family half a month ago. ”

"Come, come, drink this cup and have three more cups. ”

Shangguan Chenguang was so enthusiastic that Zhang Ye was a little difficult to speak.

This is a lack of political skills.

If you can't even speak to your own relatives, then what about unfamiliar relationships in the future.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Zhang Ye took a big sip and said with the strength of the wine: "Uncle, my nephew has something to ask for this time." ”

"Haha, uncle already knew. Shangguan Chenguang said with a smile. "I can draw 2,000 troops here, you can take them. "There are a total of 5,000 troops, and you can borrow 2,000, and only real relatives will do this. Zhang Ye was quite satisfied with this trip. Of the 2,000 soldiers, 50 were equipped with military horses, which exceeded expectations.

"My lord, we've been waiting for a long time. ”

"How many soldiers Tamura borrowed there. ”

"Two hundred. ”

Zhang Ye almost choked on saliva.

"Two hundred is fine, let them keep an eye on Daqi. ”

Again, two hundred soldiers are useful.

"Some important places need soldiers, plus the two thousand soldiers of the Shangguan family, a total of 6,000 people can be sent out. ”

"Ah Shi, you stay at home. ”

"Triumphant return. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhang Ye led his troops to march to the Ma family with 6,000 soldiers.

The Ma family had only 3,000 soldiers. Although most of them are matched with military horses, but-

Zhang Ye must win this battle!

These 6,000 soldiers can be said to be experienced veterans.

"Oh no, no. ”

"Big things are not good. ”

"What's going on. "Soma Nakamura Castle, the city lord Ma Feng asked the shadow soldiers who came in a hurry to report.

"The new lord of the Zhang family, Zhang Ye's army, is personally recruiting, and it will take half an hour for the soldiers to come to the city. ”

"Hurry up and give the order to go down, thicken the city wall, and prepare the fire pot, rolling wood, and tung oil for the city's defense. ”

"Yes. ”

Half an hour later.

Zhang Ye's army came to the city.

There were still 2,000 soldiers in Soma Nakamura Castle.

Soma Nakamura Castle is a bridgehead that guards the only way to Kotaka Castle in the main city. On the left side is high mountains and mountains, and on the right side is the ocean. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is why the former lord Zhang Hui has not been able to attack for more than ten years.

The ghost court looked at the city defense buildings of the city wall, and said to Zhang Ye: "Lord, I suggest attacking with fire." ”

Zhang Ye ordered: "The archer takes the bow." ”

The archer bowed down and pulled the strings.

"Shoot!" With Zhang Ye's order, the rocket flew.

"Rolling wood, stone!"

The enemy's vast array of city defense weapons fell.

Shield squad formation.

Three groups of soldiers with shields in front of them.

After this round of attacks, only seven or eight of the enemy were killed by the rockets. Zhang Ye was killed by as many as 30 people on the side of the city defense weapon.

Siege warfare, which is obviously not good for the attacking side.

Half a day later, the enemy sent a thousand reinforcements from Xiaogaocheng, and the morale was even stronger.

So far, both sides have their own injuries.

On the attacking side of Zhang Ye, there were 3,000 casualties, and only 500 enemies were consumed.

"My lord, they have launched a counterattack. ”

I saw a ladder thrown down from the city wall.

This is arguably the worst siege warfare.

"The whole army withdrew. ”

At this time, your morale is very low. Zhang Ye had to withdraw his troops with Jin Ming.

I don't know if it's because the other party saw Zhang Ye young and leading the troops, so he has been chasing.

"What to do, four thousand soldiers are being chased by two thousand. "On the military horse, Zhang Ye asked the ghost court.

Ghost Court frowned, "The time and place are favorable, and the Ma family has taken advantage of it, and the chance of us wanting to win is very small." However, if they catch up with our sphere of influence, we can fight back. ”

In a chase like this, it is extremely difficult to kill a person. After running for more than ten miles in a row, Zhang Ye's army of 4,000 people was killed less than ten people.

Back in the area of Mt. Rizhi, those pursuers retreated and did not pursue.

The ghost court sighed: "The head of the Ma family, Ma Chao, really has a strategy. ”

Return.

Aichi and Maeda are talking. Zhang Ye walked in.

"Don't be sad. Ah Shi said to him.

"What are you talking about? ”

"Hehe, I'm just asking about your situation on the battlefield. ”

"What else, you can't attack. I really can't imagine that 6,000 soldiers can attack a city with only 2,000 soldiers. Delayed until the enemy sent a thousand reinforcements, they had to retreat. ”

Ah Shi said: "This is nothing, no one can say for sure what is happening on the battlefield." At that time, the Ryuke family in Kyushu gathered an army of 35,000 to attack Shimazu, and in the face of ten times the number of troops, Shimazu counterattacked and won. Ah Shi said a famous battle, and Zhang Ye couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

"We can only win by stratagem. ”

"Scheme?"

"Yes," said Ashi, "our strategy should be like this, show weakness to the enemy, and then crush it in one fell swoop. ”

"Then go to attack once a month, and the soldiers don't need to be too regular, send the militia to disguise themselves as regular troops, and each time they die, they will be reduced by half. Until they think we don't have the strength to attack. Annihilate their main army in one fell swoop. ”

According to Ashi's strategy.

Fourth month.

Zhang Ye led an army of 500 to retreat.

"Kill,"

"Kill the enemy lord and get a reward!"

They chased to the area of Mt. Rizhi and continued to pursue. This time, the horse was in turmoil, with a force of 2,050 troops, and they pursued it relentlessly.

After five wars, Zhang Ye's side lost 6,000 soldiers, and the Ma family didn't think that the Zhang family had many troops left.

After all, there are five cities, and if there is no certain number of troops in the city, there is a high chance that a mob will arise.

After such a careful calculation, there are not many troops that can be pumped out.

This attack can be regarded as a good countermeasure. It's just that he didn't expect it.

When the two thousand and five soldiers approached the city, a vast number of Zhang's troops suddenly emerged from all sides of the city.

"Oops, medium. ”

"The whole army retreats!"

It's late.

The Ma family army was surrounded by Zhang Ye's army.

In this case, even if the number of troops is equal, they will die miserably, not to mention, the number of Zhang Ye's army is 4,000.

"Brothers, don't panic, we are all matched with military horses. I had already contacted the Sheng family before I gave the order to pursue, and reinforcements would arrive soon. ”
