Chapter 172: Zhang He single-handedly entered Yannan
On the battlefield of Nanhe County, at this time, the Lance family was beaten by Zhang He, and only the last half of Dongdu County remained, and the soldiers were united, which greatly improved the defensive ability of the Lance family.
In this war against Nanhe County, the Lance family made a big determination and dispatched all the family's troops, totaling 300,000 troops.
The vigorous offensive had just begun to recapture several cities in a row, and Zhang He transferred Dekun and Yahe in the rear to the front line, which stabilized the situation.
During this time, Yahe exhausted all means and also collected and integrated 50,000 Green Goblin soldiers.
With the opening of exclusive troops, the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Legion soared, advancing all the way, killing the scattered army of the Lance family.
In particular, in the battle of Nanhe County, the Lance family sent Thomas to lead 25,000 Green Goblin knights to confront Zhang He, but Zhang He was defeated and fled with 10,000 sun cavalry.
As a last resort, the Lance family had to shrink their defense line and retreat to Dongdu County, waiting for reinforcements from the bear clan.
I don't know if it's because there are fewer enemy troops in Nanhe County, or because Nanhe County is far away, there are reinforcements from the bear people in Shanggu County and Shuanggu County, but on the battlefield of Nanhe County, the bear people have not intervened.
The forces of Dekun and Yahe, plus the Eastern Legion, also have an army of 100,000, and the high-ranking members of the Lance family, who were beaten to the point of terror by the Eastern Legion, have no confidence that they will be able to hold the land of Dongdu Banxian at all.
However, they heard that on the battlefield of Beiyuan County, the Dauther family did not bargain.
The condition for the bearman clan to send troops is to give up half of the land of Shuanggu County, in fact, for the Lance family, it is not bad, anyway, if the bearren clan does not make a move, Shuanggu County is estimated to be lost.
Since the bear people want to be honest and make their faces better, it is better to be a favor.
Compared with the urgency of the Lance family, Zhang He is also thinking about how to break the turtle shell of the Lance family.
On this day, another round of calls failed, Zhang He led the army back to Nanhe County, this was to lure the army of the Lance family to send troops to recover the lost territory, but for two days, the army of the Lance family did not move at all.
Nanhe County, the lord's mansion, all the generals gathered, all of them were fiercely discussing feasible strategies, since the large-scale attack, attacking in all directions, defending on all sides, this is the first time to join forces.
"Junyi, the Lance family chose to hold on, they must be waiting for reinforcements, since they can't gnaw this turtle shell, I have a risky plan." Xu Shu spoke out and stopped the discussion of the generals.
Xu Shu, as a military mage, can also be regarded as a military advisor, and he can always think of some good strategies, and the generals also respect him.
"Yuan Zhi, you might as well say it." Zhang He nodded and said.
"The Lance family is stationed in Dongdu City with heavy troops, and the battle during this period of time can basically be determined that the Lance family is pouring out of the nest, so that their old nest Yannan County will be empty."
"As long as you send a general and lead a surprise army to Yannan County, you will definitely be able to turn Yannan County upside down, and even have the opportunity to behead the patriarch of the Lance family." Xu Shu said lightly, but it made the generals' eyes light up.
Even if you don't break through Dongdu City, you can make a detour into Yannan County, normally speaking, the army breaks through, and the enemy army will definitely send troops to block it, but now the enemy army is beaten and does not dare to take the lead, this plan is really feasible.
If the enemy army returns to help, the army can take advantage of the situation to take Dongdu City, and if the enemy army does not come back, then it can only sit back and watch Yannan County be destroyed.
It's just that the selection of this strange army can't be too weak, and at worst, it must have the strength to balance the main force of the enemy's small army.
"Junyi, let my Shura army go, and I will mention Karn's head and deter the enemy!" Yan Liang asked for help first.
Wen Chou was also a little moved, but seeing Yan Liang asking for help, Wen Chou did not say anything more.
This plan can only be carried out by cavalry, and it can be said that only Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the second general are the most suitable.
"Don't worry, Yuan Zhi's strategy made me think of another feasible plan." Zhang He's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly.
Seeing that the generals were waiting for him to continue, Zhang He continued to speak.
"The lone army is deep, the danger is unpredictable, you can't bet on five thousand Shura cavalry, Yuan Zhi has this plan to disrupt Yannan County, it's not necessary, I should go out alone, and attack and kill Karn alone!"
"Junyi, you are a general of the army, how can you take risks alone?" Xu Shu's brows furrowed slightly, Zhang He should not be a reckless person.
"What Yuan Zhi said is reasonable, even if he rides alone, he should be on my horse." Yan Liang also said.
"Listen to me, I have a black dragon mount, I can come and go freely, and I have the lowest risk." Compared with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He's biggest advantage is that he has a black dragon.
"But how can there be generals in the army who break into the enemy's lair alone." Yan Liang still has some opinions.
"If it were only Karn alone, it would indeed be safest for Junyi to go in person." Xu Shu nodded and said.
Entering Yannan County alone, this is undoubtedly dangerous and abnormal, and there are no reinforcements, once the fighting energy is exhausted, it is normal to lose his life, but Zhang He has a black dragon mount, even if the fighting energy is exhausted, he can also control the black dragon to escape.
"Another day, I'll catch a dragon as a mount!" Yan Liang said this, which is equivalent to agreeing with what Xu Shu and Zhang He said.
For the first time, Yan Liang felt that it was also quite good to have a giant dragon as a mount.
The most powerful thing about the dragons, in addition to their innate strong physical body and magic, is their ability to fly.
"Haha, if the dragon was so easy to find, wouldn't it have perished a long time ago." Xu Shu said with a laugh.
The dragon clan has been reduced from the overlord of heaven and earth to living in seclusion, and fertility difficulties are one of them, and the hunting and killing of various races is the key.
For ordinary people, dragons are naturally incomparably powerful, but for the truly strong, dragons are wealth.
Naturally, there are the top powerhouses in the dragon race, but their growth cycle is as long as 10,000 years, the elf race and the angel race are only a thousand years, and the human race and the orc race only need a hundred years.
The meeting was dissolved, and Zhang He personally broke the situation.
In fact, Zhang He's reasons were not all stated, and the reason why he chose to attack Karn in person was because he felt that this was an opportunity for him.
An opportunity to break through itself.
Although the generals do not remember the memories of their previous lives, their personalities, temperaments, etc., are all inherited, and they also contain the momentum that they have cultivated at what height they reached at the beginning.
Achievements are inherited, regrets are naturally inherited, they may not know exactly what regrets are, but they know which regrets are.
For example, Zhang He, although prudence is his advantage, but also his regret, he has such a concept, if he was not so cautious, maybe he would be able to stand higher.
It's just a vague concept, and there is no specific memory.
The generals are all the same, regret drives them to break through themselves and become stronger.
The army rested in Nanhe County for a day, and then sent troops to the east to cross the city again, Zhang He handed over the command of the army to Xu Shu, and he broke away from the army and sneaked to Yannan County.
There was a large army to divert their attention, and the Green Goblin clan in Dongdu City did not know that the human race was so bold that they wanted to carry out the decapitation operation.
Between Yannan County and Nanhe County, there is a branch road of Nanshui Lake, which is more than several kilometers wide, and a stone bridge 100 meters wide connects the two banks, which is the only land route.
The docks of Nanhe County, which should have been heavily garrisoned, were only guarded by a team of Green Goblin soldiers guarding the boat at this time.
Zhang He sneaked up, and the team of Green Goblin soldiers didn't even issue a warning, so they were all dealt with by Zhang He.
After quietly observing for a while, the defense on the other side of the bank was relatively tight, with hundreds of Green Goblin soldiers stationed, of course, normally speaking, thousands of troops should be stationed on both sides.
There are only a few hundred Green Goblin soldiers, and naturally they can't defend the tributaries of the South River and Lake, which are hundreds of miles long, how impenetrable they are.
There was not a single Green Goblin soldier stationed in the watchtower, which was several miles away.
Since he sneaked in, Zhang He did not choose to directly drive the black dragon into Yannan County, so the movement was too big, and he did not choose to cross the bridge, he was not sure that he could kill hundreds of Green Demon soldiers silently.
The rest can only dive and smuggle, although Zhang He's water quality is not very good, but with his strength, there is no problem in diving thousands of meters.
Zhang He denied Yan Liang and led the Shura cavalry to come, just because the movement was too big, and directly made the Shura cavalry a live target.
No matter how strong the Shura cavalry is, it can't stop the front and rear sieges, and once it falls into Yannan County, the probability of the entire army being wiped out is very high.
Zhang He took one last look, the map of Yannan County, firmly remembered the location of Yannan County, and plunged into the tributaries of Nanshui Lake.
After cautious observation, he made sure that there were no enemy troops, flew ashore, urged the fighting spirit to evaporate the water on his body, and quickly left the shore.
Along the way, Zhang He tried to avoid the city and advanced at full speed, although it was on foot, but the speed was not much slower than riding a horse, but it was too physically exhausting.
Yannan County has six counties, Yannan County, Nanshui County, Yanling County, Yangu County, Yandong County, and Yanhu County.
After the tributary of Nanshui Lake, it is Yanhu County, and then Yanhu County is Yannan County.
Passing by the city along the way, Zhang He watched from afar, there were very few soldiers in charge of patrolling on the city wall, normally speaking, a viscount city, the soldiers who patrol the city wall daily said that hundreds of soldiers should be arranged, divided into three shifts to inspect.
However, in Yannan County, the number of patrol soldiers was only a few dozen, and although the territory of the Lance family had millions of people, after the defeat, they once again pulled out an army of 300,000, which had a great impact on the local troops.
The little force left behind is enough to deal with the small contradictions in the city, barely maintain law and order, if there is an enemy attack, these cities are the same as the ones picked up in vain.
The people of Yannan County were not affected by the defeat, or they didn't know about it, and these situations were written down by Zhang He, and they might be able to use them in the future.
In the evening, Zhang He rushed to Yannan County, a city wall seven or eight meters high, covering an area of more than ten square kilometers, and there were hundreds of thousands of green goblins living in this city.
Zhang He didn't act rashly, he had to wait until nightfall before acting, since it was an attack, he naturally had to be surprised.
