Chapter 278: Their Bait (1)
For two whole days in a row, the hinterland of the area occupied by the Zhao State was completely chaotic, and the troops who had never known where they came from kept attacking, and the soldiers of the Zhao State, in two nights, the soldiers of the Zhao State who were killed by this army accumulated as much as 170,000!
However, although the battle lasted for half a month, no one knew where this army was hiding, and they didn't know how many of them were, only that the place where they haunted was the nightmare of the Zhao ** team, and where they haunted, no matter how many soldiers of the Zhao State were, it was difficult to escape the bad luck of the annihilation of the whole army!
Zhao's army has not only encircled and suppressed this mysterious army on a large scale, but every time it has returned in vain, no one has been caught, and some are only the wreckage of the completely destroyed friendly forces and the battlefield that has been changed beyond recognition!
At this point, the "ghost army" was widely spread in the army of Zhao State, and every late night, all the soldiers of Zhao State cowered in the barracks, not daring to step out of the barracks for half a step!
Despite this, nightmares will always come unexpectedly, where there are soldiers of Zhao State, where there will be the figure of this ghost army and the sound of iron hooves!
At the same time, the Yan ** team, which had been facing each other for a long time, finally launched a large-scale counterattack, and in just half a day, millions of troops crossed the Yellow River, and the Zhao ** team was defeated, and it was a thousand miles away!
Finally, the balance of the war tilted, and all the forms that were favorable to the Zhao ** team disappeared in an instant, I don't know how many Zhao soldiers died tragically under the iron hooves of Yan State, they didn't dare to turn back, but fled desperately towards the path closest to their hometown!
Without the supply of grain and grass, the Zhao ** team had already been discouraged, and many cities were recovered by the million-dollar Yan army commanded by Yang Shao without resisting at all. More are direct defections!
However, Zhao Guo's coach Chang Sheng seems to have found some clues. And on the way to escape, a deployment was made. Trying to make a comeback!
Let's say, Zhang Chenyu, at this time, Zhang Chenyu led eight hundred soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, constantly wandering in the area occupied by the Zhao ** team, because all the soldiers of the Zhao State were frightened by the prestige of the ghost troops, they gave up countless small strongholds, and all of them cowered in the big city, which made Zhang Chenyu feel at a loss!
Eight hundred, for a siege. It's too small, maybe after a charge, there will be 800 more corpses on the battlefield!
At this moment, the southbound Yan ** team is still some distance away from the area where Zhang Chenyu is active, the two sides have no contact at all, and they can't get the replenishment of soldiers, Zhang Chenyu knows that he can't last long with the eight hundred lonely army, not to mention anything else. Zhao's ** team no longer sends a grain transport team to transport grain and grass, and it is a serious problem for these 800 people to eat!
Soon, Zhang Chenyu locked his eyes on Quancheng, Quancheng County. It was very far away from the battlefield of the two sides, and there were only 15,000 Zhao soldiers stationed here, if it was a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Zhang Chenyu is completely sure to take it down!
And. According to a few days of investigation, Zhang Chenyu found that due to the war in the north, it was tight. Quancheng County also sent half of its soldiers to support it
Aid!
&If we take Quancheng County and hold it here, I think it won't be long before General Yang will lead a large army and go south to join us!"
Hearing this, a lieutenant suddenly asked curiously: "General Zhang, it's not that I'm afraid, but with our team of 800 people, isn't it a little unrealistic to attack a strong city!"
& A city, the most sturdy place guarded by soldiers should be the city gate, Quancheng County will close the four city gates at night, if we climb the wall, it is still possible to take Quancheng County!" Hearing the captain's concern, Zhang Chenyu shook his head and denied
After a pause, Zhang Chenyu continued: "Moreover, there is no need for us to kill all the soldiers of the Zhao State who are defending the city, we just need to drive them out of Quancheng County!"
"Chenyu, if we don't kill them all, won't we expose our forces, and if the other side counterattacks at that time, how can we defend Quancheng County!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chenyu smiled indifferently and said: "Xiang Fang, you said that if General Yang moves south and joins us, what use will we have, whether we are exposed or not, it is just a matter of time!"
>> Moreover, our attack on Quancheng County this time was not for the purpose of killing or injuring the soldiers of the Zhao State, we were just to tell General Yang that we were in Quancheng County!" After a while, Zhang Chenyu continued: "In this way, General Yang and they will have a clear direction of attack, and once they meet with us, we will no longer have to worry about being surrounded by Zhao's ** team!"
After hearing Zhang Chenyu's words, the lieutenant named Xiang Fang nodded as if he didn't understand, since Zhang Chenyu had already made up his mind, then it was meaningless for him to say more, besides, since Zhang Chenyu commanded this army, he hadn't missed it!
& In layman's terms, the reason why we crossed the Yellow River and went deep into the area occupied by the Zhao ** team was entirely to deal with the large army on the north bank of the Yellow River, once we completely cut off the grain route of the Zhao ** team, their morale would be severely frustrated, so that General Yang would definitely seize the opportunity to attack the Zhao ** team on the south bank of the Yellow River, and now that the large army has crossed the Yellow River, our mission is over!" Zhang Chenyu, looking at the many officers, said without hesitation
After a pause, Zhang Chenyu continued: "But once we disappear, the supply line of the Zhao ** team will definitely die and recover, and the Zhao ** team with the supply of food and grass will carry out a comprehensive counterattack, at that time, I think with General Yang's ability, I will definitely not be able to deal with it, and the already crazy Zhao * >."
After a while, Zhang Chenyu said again: "Moreover, another purpose for us to occupy Quancheng County is to respond to the large army heading south, once we attract enough Zhao ** troops, I think General Yang and they will definitely be able to fight Quancheng County soon!"
& Is it true that our 800 people can really defend Quancheng County?" After hearing Zhang Chenyu's words, even though everyone was full of confidence, but looking back, even if the Zhao ** team was defeated on the battlefield in the north, it was also an army of millions, and these 800 people alone could really resist it!
Hearing this, Zhang Chenyu suddenly smiled and said: "Hehe, to be honest, you are the soldiers I have personally cultivated, and you are the most elite soldiers I have ever seen, I really don't want to send you to the enemy's butcher's knife, but if we succeed in attracting Zhao ** The attention of the team, for our Great Yan Kingdom to achieve the final victory, even if we die, we will die well, but we have nothing to do, and the large army led by General Yang will converge, even if he dies on the battlefield one day, it is worthless, no one will remember our names, no one knows who the corpses that fell to the ground are, and some are just nameless graves in mass graves!"
& General, we listen to you, we will do what you say!" Sure enough, it didn't take long for many soldiers' hearts to be stirred up by Zhang Chenyu and they responded to the peace (to be continued......
