Ge Chong is the commander of the Right Fifth Army, he is the commander of the old loyal army, after the destruction of the loyal army and the Desheng army, there was nowhere to go for a while, until Chai Yong won the opportunity for this group of remnants, and only began to emerge.

Chai Yong and Luo Chenggan both recommended him, and in the end he was able to lead more than 1,000 remnants of the army to Yingshang to form the Right Fifth Army.

The quality of the soldiers of the Fifth Army on the Right is inferior to that of the Tenth Army on the Left, but after all, they are also veterans, but after supplementing a large number of militiamen from Yingbo Prefecture, the troop allocation is somewhat mixed, and the training task is very heavy.

However, Ge Chong did not help the seedlings, and took advantage of the original foundation of the old loyal army, and systematically allocated some of the backbone of the old army from the two battalions, mixed some recruits, and formed a battalion for training.

In his opinion, instead of wanting to eat a big fat man at once to retrain and transform the entire Right Fifth Army, without this strength, the effect may not be good, so it is better to build the front battalion, the middle battalion, and the left battalion into three main battalions, and the right battalion and the rear battalion are mainly auxiliary crossbowmen and auxiliary soldiers.

Needless to say, the front and middle battalions composed of veterans also rapidly improved the combat effectiveness of the newly reorganized and reformed left battalion.

The right battalion and the left battalion with strong crossbows as the main ones should be relatively simple, after all, the strong crossbows are mainly based on operation, the training is simple, and it is mainly a familiar process, of course, the discipline requirements are not low, but fortunately, whether it is a veteran or a recruit, they have undergone basic training, and there is still a guarantee in discipline.

Ge Chong is ten years older than Zhang Yue, and he is also higher than Zhang Yue in martial arts, but Ge Chong knows the close relationship between Zhang Yue and Junshang, and Zhang Yue is also a very outgoing and friendly character, so although the two have been friends for a short time, they quickly become familiar with each other.

"Well, let's go. Zhang Yue's gaze retracted from afar, and he gently pinched the horse's belly, "Hengyuan, I'm afraid we will fight very hard in this battle." ”

"Ziyue, are you worried that you won't be able to hold it?"

The two of them had already discussed this issue.

It is relatively easy to take the city father by surprise, but once the Caizhou army comes back to its senses and fights back with all its might, the small walls of the city father are short, and the troops on their side are either new armies or armies that have not experienced the baptism of vicious battles and bloody battles, and it is an extremely heavy task to resist the crazy counterattack of the Caizhou army.

"Although the king did not ask us to hold the city father for how much time, but you and I both know that the king launched an offensive on the Xuzhou side, with Pengcheng dragon and tiger strong, if you want to take it immediately, I am afraid it will not be easy, and Xuzhou is so big, it will take time to sweep away the departments, which also means that we must hold the city father for at least ten days, even if we hold it, but if we want to evacuate in the future, I am afraid it will not be so simple, will the king have the spare strength to support us at that time?"

Zhang Yue said very truthfully.

The city father is located in the hinterland of Bozhou, and if he really wants to capture the city father, Yuan Jun will definitely not be able to bear it, and he will definitely pull out this nail nailed to his heart.

And in order to contain the Yuan army, at least they have to hold on for ten days, and after ten days, the opportunity for the Yuan army to enter Xu has been lost, and this evil breath will definitely be vented on their own side, and at that time, the main army of Huaiyou is still fighting in Xuzhou, even if Pengcheng is taken, but there are many forces in Xuzhou, can Huaiyou quickly complete the integration to help?

From Xuzhou, the distance is not close, and it needs to cross Jushui, Bianqu, Lianshui and Vortex water, and go through the Linli line to go deep into the hinterland of Bozhou.

It's a difficult question to answer.

Zhang Yue could have asked, but Ge Chong couldn't answer, even though he knew that this battle was extremely dangerous.

But eating food and being a soldier is originally to play with your head, the crockpot will inevitably break the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle, which is normal, besides, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if this battle is won and held, it can be said that the army is the greatest hero.

This is exactly what a military general like Ge Chong who has just surrendered to Huaiyou is most willing to, even if he knows that this is a vicious battle, or even a battle for his life, he is just as willing.

Zhang Yue was not the stunned young man he was a few years ago, he naturally understood what Ge Chong was thinking.

Jiang Feng's views on evaluating an army have long been deeply rooted in the Huaiyou Army, and everyone knows that the lord appreciates and values the army and generals who can fight hard battles, vicious battles, and bloody battles, and Jiang Feng even made it clear that an army that wins battles smoothly is not as valuable as an army that has fought bitter and bloody battles.

His evaluation of generals is the same, which is why these generals are more willing to fight this kind of high-risk and challenging tough battle, because it can better reflect the level of a leading general.

"Ziyue, I think that although our battle will be very difficult in the early stage, it may not be as bad as you worry in the later stage. Ge Chong thought for a while before answering this question.

"Oh, that's a bit surprising, let's hear it. Zhang Yue also knew that Ge Chong was not the kind of person who was unscrupulous, and there must be something in his words.

"Although I don't know much about the strategy of the Northern Expedition to Xuzhou, I think that the king must have arranged a foreshadowing in Xuzhou, and although Xuzhou is large, the forces are intertwined, but as long as Pengcheng is taken, then the big thing will be decided, whether it is Yao Chengtai, Shang Yunxi, Lu Qiming and Yu Mingzhen, they should all know where to go, there are many smart people among these people, and they will definitely make a choice at the right time, good birds choose trees and perch, we Huaiyou have shown a strong temperament, who will move against the current?"

Ge Chong's words made Zhang Yue couldn't help but lose a thumbs up, this is really a smart person, and he sees the problem very clearly.

"Hengyuan, if you offend you, this is probably your state of mind, right?" Zhang Yue couldn't help but say.

"Of course. Ge Chong didn't think it was wrong, and said with emotion: "In fact, when King Wu surrendered, many of us were interested in joining Huaiyou, but the king had prejudices against us, and there may also be the interference of Li Yu, a traitor, so the king did not agree, and fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Lord Yan, Lord Luo and Lord Chai, we had a chance." I believe that as long as the king takes Pengcheng, then all departments of the probation army will immediately clarify their attitude, and at that time, not only the Huaiyou army, but also the original probation army will quickly turn into a huge pressure on the Yuan army in Bozhou, and at that time, the Yuan army may not have much spare strength to besiege us again. ”

Ge Chong's analysis made Zhang Yue think more and more clearly.

Yes, the battle of Xuzhou is actually a question of the general trend, everyone knows that Shi Yu is no longer able to control Xuzhou, as long as the Huaiyou Army shows its strength, then the leaders of the reform army will definitely understand that the era of Huaiyou is coming, and smart people will naturally choose to stand in line immediately.

The sooner you stand in line, the heavier your weight in the Huaiyou Army system will naturally be in the future, and no one will welcome a desperate voter.

At that time, the huge armies of the probation army may quickly turn into a huge pressure on the Caizhou army in the west, and what the Caizhou army needs to consider at that time is how to defend against the Huaiyou Army and the probation army to attack the east of Bozhou, from Yongcheng, Linli to Shansang, the whole line may face attacks, this is the problem they need to worry about, where can there be how much spare strength to besiege the city father?

Maybe Huaiyou can even directly force Yuan Jun to give up the evacuation channel, and it is unknown if he let his side withdraw.

Just when Zhang Yue and Ge Chong were discussing the formation of smart people from various departments of the Reform Army, in Pei County, there were indeed smart people who were already considering standing in line.

"Yongsheng, tell me honestly, did you come to my side for a reason?"

Facing the scorching glare in Lu Qiming's eyes, Zhuang Yongsheng looked very calm, "General, you have guessed everything, what else is there to say?"

"Hmph, are you really at a disadvantage for me?" Lu Qiming's face was cold, but his heart was cold, although he had doubts for a long time, but when the other party really admitted it calmly, he was still a little reluctant to accept it.

"The general's blade is sharp, of course, but it won't hit me. Zhuang Yongsheng's face remained unchanged, "Actually, the general has already guessed, and if he summons me, he will definitely not be entangled in this issue, so if the general has any questions, or anything else, just give orders." ”

The fierce general with a scar on his forehead beside Lu Qiming felt that Zhuang Yongsheng was too presumptuous, and his face turned grim, "Presumptuous!"

"General Qixiu, so-and-so is just telling the truth, how can he be presumptuous? Mr. has always respected the general, and today the general is recruiting each other, and the general is also coming non-stop, since the general asks each other, of course he must know everything and say everything. Zhuang Yongsheng laughed loudly.

The military general is Lu Qiming's younger brother Lu Qixiu, and he is also a famous general in the probation army.

"Yongsheng, it seems that you Huaiyou have already made up your mind, I don't know what Yongsheng can teach me?" Lu Qiming waved his hand to stop his brother, and said in a deep voice.

"It depends on how the general thinks and how he looks. Zhuang Yongsheng was also prepared, in fact, he didn't plan to hide anything, before coming to Pei County, he had already discussed with Yang Heng, thinking that the time was ripe for a showdown with Lu Qiming, and they also firmly believed that as long as Lu Qiming was clear-headed, he should see the situation clearly.

"What do I think, how do I think?" Lu Qiming asked rhetorically, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Can you still let me now?"

"The general's words are wrong, a certain time I came, the king once said that the reform army, only the general and General Yu are loyal and good people, and they are willing to conspire with the two generals for a great cause. Zhuang Yongsheng said calmly.

General Yu?

Lu Qiming's heart lit up.

Among the various departments of the probation army, Yao Chengtai is arrogant, Shang Yunxi is ruthless, and the people in the garrisons of the two armies hate him to the core, and the three counties under the jurisdiction of Lu Qiming are not as rich as those under the jurisdiction of Yao and Shang, but the military discipline is the best, and although Yu Mingzhen is very prestigious in Sihai and the two states, he is grateful to Shi Xu, so like Haizhou Yanli, he was only owned by Shi Xu.

It seems that the lord of Huaiyou seems to attach great importance to public opinion.
