"Wen He is right."

Guo Jia looked at the map for a while and agreed: "Only when we enter this valley can we approach the rear of the Yellow Turban, and we can start a plan to take away the population of the Yellow Turban." ”

Yang Zhao thought for a moment and agreed: "Garrison first, wait for the shadow to find out the terrain on the mountain, and then break Zhang Yan's defense line and enter that valley." ”

"Yes!"

They said in unison.

The next step of the strategy, they arranged it more or less.

Yang Zhao returned to the main tent and said silently: "Open the panel!" ”

[Host]: Yang Zhao

[Level]: Lv51 (62/51000)

[Skills]: Basic Knife (Beginner, Beginner), Basic Archery (Not Beginner), Basic Marksmanship (Beginner, Intermediate), Basic Equestrian (Not Beginner), Swordsmanship (Proficient)

[Unassigned Skill Points]: 1

"It's been a long time since I've upgraded."

Yang Zhao looked at the panel for a while, to this extent, there is basically no need to personally fight and kill the enemy, the ability given by the system is almost enough, and he can gallop on the battlefield.

Just now he saw the experience on the panel, and he was about to upgrade, so he thought about going out to kill for a while and earn some experience to upgrade, and he silently thought in his heart: "Add some swordsmanship." ”

When the addition was done, he turned the panel off.

Now it's time to get ready for the next battle.

——

Night.

Zhang Yan retreated back to the mountain and looked condescendingly at the camp below the mountain.

At first, he still had the idea of a night attack, but seeing that Yang Zhao's camp was brightly lit and heavily guarded, he was afraid that the few people he had left would be discovered and killed before he could get close.

"Yang Zhao was born in poverty, but he was able to do it to this extent, not because he was lucky, but because he had real strength!" Zhang Yan had to sigh.

Yang Zhao's army was so strict, the army's combat power was strong, and the weapons used were many versions ahead of them.

This is something they can't match.

Du Chang said: "General, then do we still defend it?" ”

Zhang Yan pondered for a while and said, "Guard! But we can't be the only ones who keep it. ”

The number of Montenegrin troops he brought was not large, and after today's battle, he suffered heavy losses, and he also wanted to preserve his strength, worried that even if he wanted to escape, no one would protect him and kill him, and said: "Immediately let someone send a message to Zhang Baiqi and ask him to send troops to support, otherwise we will directly abandon the rear." ”

"That's a good idea!"

Du Chang said: "Zhang Baiqi asked us to resist Yang Zhao, in fact, he wanted us to send us to death, and now throw the problem of whether the rear is guarded back to Zhang Baiqi to see what he does." ”

If you don't keep it, the big rear will be gone.

Not long after Zhang Baiqi occupied the northern part of Yanzhou, there was no rear, and it was easy to be caught in it by Yang Zhao and Cao Cao, and there was no way to retreat.

If he defended, Zhang Yan was not an opponent, and he would definitely withdraw part of the main force from the main battlefield and come back, using their familiarity with the terrain to delay time with Yang Zhao, and drag it until Zhang Baiqi took the entire territory of Yanzhou.

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Even if Zhang Bai is willing to send troops back to support, he may not be able to hold it." ”

Thinking of Yang Zhao's strength, they were a little worried.

But no matter what, it is better to send the news here to Zhang Baiqi, if Zhang Baiqi refuses to send troops to support, Zhang Yan will be very decisive and return to Montenegro without hesitation.

Du Chang immediately arranged for the soldiers to go to Yanzhou from the south to deliver the letter.

The soldiers who delivered the letter hurried non-stop and soon came to Zhang Baiqi's barracks.

"The line has been breached?"

When Zhang Baiqi got the news, he asked in shock.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao's attack came so quickly and fiercely.

Zhang Yan couldn't even hold a battle, so he was so suppressed that he had to retreat to the mountain, and he was defeated so quickly!

Xu He frowned and said, "Yang Zhao's strength is too strong, right?" ”

It is really worthy of being their Yellow Turban nemesis, as long as they fight with Yang Zhao, they don't think about winning, they think about how to minimize losses while defeating.

"Shall we send troops back to help?" Bian Xi asked.

If they didn't support, their big rear would soon be attacked by Yang Zhao.

Xu He said: "The current Cao Cao doesn't want to fight us head-on, but just restrains our pace of going south, as if he wants to delay time and drag us down, if the rear is lost, we don't need Cao Cao to drag us, we will also collapse." ”

Zhang Baiqi understands that Zhang Yan's side cannot be defeated again.

However, if the troops are drawn from the main force to the north, once they are discovered by Cao Cao, it is possible to counterattack, which is not good for the main force.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Baiqi said: "General Xu, you take 20,000 people back to support General Zhang, you must drag Yang Zhao, not to defeat, but to stabilize the rear." ”

"Good!"

Xu He has no opinion.

Seeing Xu He leave, Zhang Baiqi fell into deep thought and began to consider whether it was correct to follow the instructions of the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao.

If Yang Zhao hadn't intervened, he would still be full of confidence.

But Yang Zhao was involved, and the situation was not good!

——

The shadow's movements were very fast, and after going up the mountain for two days, he found out all the mountains and forests where the Yellow Turban was hiding, and told Yang Zhao all the layout of the Yellow Turban camp in the mountains, as well as various situations.

"Now that Zhang Yan is hiding in the mountains and forests, if you want to kill it, there are three ways to go?" Guo Jia asked.

Shadow said: "That's right, there are two roads that are most suitable for the march of the army, namely the road up the mountain next to our camp, and the southern foot of the mountain, from Zhang Yan's camp to the road of the main camp of the Yellow Turban." ”

Yang Zhao looked at the map for a while and asked, "Is the road at the southern foot near the valley?" ”

"Exactly!"

The shadow pointed to the west side of the mountain forest on the map, and said, "The third road is on this side, it is very narrow, the terrain is rugged, and it is not suitable for large armies. ”

The second way is Zhang Yan's retreat in case he is defeated.

Their attack can only be carried up from the first road, but the second and third roads can also be used.

Yang Zhao let the shadow go down and began to study the strategy of the next attack.

"Night-raiding available."

"Our troops are divided into three routes, and the first army will set off from the camp."

"The second road troops, from that narrow path uphill, as the main force to attack the camp, it doesn't matter if the mountain road is difficult to walk, we can go up the mountain in advance and in batches, and lurk on the mountain first."

"The third way of troops enters the valley, but the enemy's scouts over there will appear more frequently, and it is only suitable for going past in the dark at night, with the purpose of cutting off Zhang Yan's retreat."

"The main force will attack first, Zhang Yan will retreat in the direction of the valley when he sees us attacking, and will definitely go up the mountain again when he finds that the retreat has been cut off, and he will definitely go up the mountain again.

"Do you think it's possible?"

After Yang Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

They thought about it for a moment.

Guo Jia first said: "It's feasible! ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord is brave and strategic, I admire it, as soon as this plan comes out, Zhang Yan has no escape." ”

Yang Zhao said in a loud voice: "This is the arrangement, Shu Zhi and Wen Yuan will lead 30,000 troops up the mountain in batches, and I will arrange for the shadow to lead the way and assist you." Ziyi and Fang Rui led 10,000 troops, entered the valley to cut off Zhang Yan's retreat, and the rest went out with me to fight, and the country let him and Zijing lead the cavalry to stay in the camp. ”

Cavalry is not suitable for mountain warfare, and staying in camp is the best arrangement.

"Yes!"

They said in unison.
