Entering the camp, Wang Yan ordered: "The whole army must prepare meals with meat and fish soup. Eat well at noon, send troops in the afternoon, look for opportunities to fight, and do not let the war hinder our people. The Xuanjia Battalion was transferred to Huang Zhong and ordered him to lead I will attack first without waiting for the enemy to attack me. Send troops to Jixian, or rush to support Taishi Ci's troops, attack from the front and back, defeat the enemy in Juyong, and then attack Jixian in one go."
The purpose of such an arrangement is to locate Jixian. Huang Zhong has 3,000 men, Xuanjia Camp has more than 800 people, and more than 2,000 militiamen, adding up to more than 6,000 soldiers and horses. Huang Zhong is quite capable of fighting. He is the top general of the Three Kingdoms, and cooperates with Xuanjia Camp's troops. Penetrating power, four thousand can penetrate an enemy formation of two to thirty thousand without much problem.
And once Huang Zhong reaches Jixian and Juyong, and cooperates with the actions of Taishi Ci and Zhou Cang, they still have 15,000 soldiers and more than 6,000 militiamen, totaling more than 20,000 troops. It is only a matter of time before Jixian is defeated.
Fei Ru faced an army of 20,000 people here. Wang Yan led 3,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 militiamen, totaling more than 5,000 troops to deal with it. Not to mention that General Wang himself is more capable of fighting. Even if he is not, with more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, as long as they are not fools, they can survive for a few days.
As long as there is one more day, the 3,000 Yingwu guards will be mobilized, and they can be drawn out to fight after a short rest. In addition, the 3,000 militiamen recruited were mobilized from many places. It would take a longer time to assemble and march. Even so, these 3,000 soldiers and horses would reach Feiru in four days.
In addition, if the matter is urgent, there are also logistics militia units to escort supplies. Each of these people is also armed and well-trained. They will arrive in Linyu one after another in the next few days, but they are a little younger. , are less than twenty, but their combat effectiveness is not weak. The strength of the logistics militia force is more than 10,000.
It can be said that if he really fights desperately, Liu Yu will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. It’s just that the investment is too big and not worthwhile.
"Yes, General." An officer in the military tent consciously accepted the order, got up and went out to arrange orders and other matters.
Wang Yan unified the thoughts of the officers in the tent, emphasized military law and discipline, and then waved the officers away, letting them go about their business.
As the troops were busy, the aroma of food began to waft out of the military camp. If you are going to fight for your life immediately, you will naturally have to have a good meal. Whether they were the regular soldiers of Xuanwu Guard or the militiamen recruited, they all had the same food, and Wang Yan was given a portion.
Compared to its contemporaries, the food now is pretty good. I killed ten pigs and prepared pig-killing vegetables, heavy salt and oil, dry millet rice, mutton and fish soup, and dry millet rice.
Cabbage is a native Chinese dish and is now called wok. And the shape is different from the later Chinese cabbage, there is a big gap, but it is not impossible to use. A lot of this vegetable was grown in Liaodong, and it was a winter storage vegetable just like later. Wang Yan tried pickling sauerkraut and only implemented it after he found it feasible. In addition, agricultural doctors are also doing research and are working on improvement and breeding, hoping to make the current Chinese cabbage look like the Chinese cabbage in the future.
The taste of the food is pretty good. After all, the rice is cooked in a big pot and heavy on oil and salt, so it's hard not to be fragrant. And the most important thing is that the cooks who make big pot meals in Liaodong are all taught by the fat cook of the General's Mansion, and they must all be of the generation of General Wang's disciples. They study on their own on weekdays and develop new tricks based on frying and frying, and are forming a new food culture.
After having lunch and resting for half an hour, the army marched lightly. Wang Yan also put on armor and went into battle as a vanguard, riding slowly forward.
The enemy's situation had been detected by the rangers. There were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, only thirty miles away from their previous military camp. Now Wang Yan took the lead, marching at the normal speed of a brisk trot. When they arrived, it was almost dusk, and they could start fighting directly.
Wang Yan went into battle, and he thought very simply. Today he defeated more than 20,000 people, and tomorrow he will directly kill Benji County. There is definitely no need to worry about the rear. After all, the logistics team and volunteer soldiers and horses are on their way, and not all the local militia have been recruited, just to guard against the possibility of a rout.
"General, the enemy has detected our army's movements and has formed a formation, waiting for me to attack." The ranger ran back to report.
General Wang nodded. They were now only five miles away from the enemy. If their movements could not be detected at this distance, there would be a big problem.
He made no other arrangements and continued to march at a steady pace.
After walking for more than half an hour, finally, the enemy troops that occupied the sight were now in the distance, waiting in full formation.
This place belongs to the Lingzhi area and is Gongsun Zan's hometown. Taking advantage of their large number of people, they arranged into three military formations, with more than 10,000 troops in the center and several thousand on each side. They opened up their posture and set up a charging battle array. At a glance, there were enemies everywhere.
Youzhou is mostly in plains and hilly areas. The enemy has 20,000 troops, while we have less than 6,000. The enemy seems to be quite confident. Instead of fighting in the city, they have opened up their posture and fought in the field. This kind of head-on confrontation is of no use in the art of war. The enemy's division into three formations is nothing more than a basic operation of a qualified general, in order to disperse the forces and attack from multiple sides.
If 20,000 people formed a military formation, it would be a huge waste of force. After all, there are only a limited number of soldiers fighting in the front, and more people are invisible behind. The best option is to divide your forces and attack together from multiple directions.
Wang Yan didn't pay attention and didn't change his formation. Different from the two previous night attacks in Liaodong, we can take advantage of the enemy's panic and attack from multiple directions, taking advantage of the darkness to create the illusion of more troops. This time it was a serious battle between soldiers and generals. His troops were originally small, and there were half of the local Youzhou militia. It was said that they would be trained for a year, but without farming and other work, the actual training time was It has only been two months, and he is still not a qualified soldier.
In other words, Liaodong had saved up his family fortune for six years, and equipped these militiamen with armor and weapons, which seemed to be more combat effective than many militiamen opposite who only wore single clothes. If we really divide the troops, these people are still not disciplined enough, so they can only be disrupted and charged together by the veterans.
Leading the team, Wang Yan stopped a stone's throw away and looked around at the enemy troops. They seemed to be surrounded at this moment.
Wang Yan waved his hand gently, and the guards around him waved General Tianwu's yellow-backed black-letter flag. Immediately afterwards, drums sounded from behind the military formation, and more than 5,000 soldiers began to shout again.
"I am the king's strategist. Today, the two armies are fighting, and I have some good advice. I was born in the capital of Guizhou. I started from the Yellow Turbans and Zhuojun, and gathered my own troops. Now I occupy thousands of miles of fertile land in eastern Liaoning in the north and 500 miles of grassland in the west. What I did They are all common people. Under my rule, no one will do anything to bully the people, abuse the people, or harm the people, let alone anyone who bullies the people, abuses the people, or harms the people.
You and I were born together, so you should share our fate. Why work so hard with the people who enslave us? Even if you kill me here today, what good will it do to you? There is still no food to eat, no clothing to cover the body, no medical treatment for the disease, and all the children are slaves of the powerful family.
Today, those of you who have served your destiny have taken away your land, tyrannized your wives and daughters, and done many evil things. Why should you fight with them? You will definitely know in detail how I am going to govern. If you abandon darkness and turn to light today, you and others will inevitably live like the people of Liaodong in the future. I and you will take the opportunity to seize the people around you who bully the people. I will punish you myself and make them die of cold and hunger for you to cut mountains and build roads and water conservancy.
I don't want you to lay down your weapons, and you must protect yourselves. When those who bully the people are dealt with, you should share the military rations with you and return home to protect your parents, wives and children. When I conquer Youzhou, I will definitely be clear with you.
At that time, farm tools were distributed, grain was grown, and fields were redistributed. We were taught that our illnesses could be cured and we would not suffer from cold and hunger. We shared a common destiny and fought for a better life. If you do not surrender and the two armies fight, swords and guns will have no eyes, then your parents will have no children, your wife will have no husband, and your children will have no father. You will all die in vain, and you really don’t want to.
Since my words are clear, why don't you take action? "
More than five thousand soldiers shouted three times in a row, and the sound was like thunder, shaking the surrounding areas.
Wang Yan had written this long ago and asked the sergeants to memorize it. When the two armies are fighting, the priority is to attack the heart. Since fighting can be avoided, there is no need to fight. So I urged the sergeants to recite it proficiently, and now they shouted surrender together.
Although the transmission of sound is limited, this is an open plain area. But six thousand people shouted at the same time, and the sound could travel five to six hundred meters, which was enough.
Now surrounded on three sides, the distance is only about five or six hundred meters. The Chinese army is closest, only more than 200 meters away, and many people are already within the coverage of the sound.
Of course the effect is there and quite good. Wang Yan has very good eyesight and can see very clearly.
When he said it for the first time, the enemy's formation was in chaos. Some officers were yelling and cursing loudly, and some were even beating people. The second time, the formation became more chaotic and loose, and there was even some distance left in some places. The third time, it was already dead. Some officers were surrounded in the middle. Looking at them with hatred in their eyes, they were so angry that they were hacked to death with a sword.
After three calls to surrender, the enemy made noise for a while. Wang Yan waved his hand, the guards waved the flag, and the sergeants at the rear began to line up, silently forming General Wang's favorite arrow formation. He acted as the forward, and the people behind him followed. , simple and direct.
The world was silent and no one spoke. Only Wang Yan's side of the two armies was arranging in silence. The sergeants on the opposite side exchanged glances with each other. After a moment of silence, the general on the opposite side finally reacted and scolded loudly. As they stood, the people around them kept waving their flags, and the team became noisy again.
But Ling Qi's order received no response.
Until, Wang Yan saw in the military formation opposite, under the reflection of the setting sun, a man picked up the sword in his hand and slashed directly on the neck of the officer whose back was turned to him. It's just that because of the armor and neck protector, there was no blood. The officer was just chopped to the point where he staggered, leaving him in a daze for a moment.
But before he could recover, a soldier came over with a gun, followed by several knives and guns, and several more people stabbed him with a gun in the gap. In the blink of an eye, people are completely dead.
This seemed to be a signal. Not far away from them, another officer was stabbed to death. The soldiers further away also began to take action. Little by little, shouts of killing were heard from the military formations on the left and right wings. The generals in the front row who finally spread to the rear, perhaps because of their growing power, actually had a confrontation for a while.
Then someone took action and was killed, and more people took action. Unable to resist, they gritted their teeth and rushed towards Wang Yan with red eyes. They looked so ferocious that they wanted to eat Wang Yan.
The general was very calm and didn't even need to wave his hand. His own bodyguards came to stop him. He himself picked up a bow and arrow, and before the battle started, he fired three arrows in succession. The enemy general dodged one arrow and blocked another, but the third arrow pierced his throat and he fell off his horse. Being able to escape with two arrows in a row is considered to be somewhat capable.
After all, fighting is all about reaction speed. Wang Yan uses a three-stone bow. The arrows are faster and more powerful. It is good to be able to dodge two arrows in a row. Unfortunately, General Wang's archery skills were superb, and the distance between the three arrows was too small, leaving the enemy general no chance to use them.
When the personal guards were fighting, Wang Yan fired cold arrows from behind, one arrow at a time. The battle broke out quickly and ended quickly. None of the personal guards died, and the battle ended with no injuries.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of his personal guards is very high, and he has trained them all. The personal guards are all professional soldiers. Of course, they have raised chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs for several years. However, they have been following Wang Yan for a long time and have undergone military training for a longer time. His personal guards only have 500.
One person can defeat four or five elite soldiers. If they form a military formation, one hundred can defeat one thousand. Five hundred will definitely not be able to defeat five thousand. But it is no problem in a casual fight. Two or three thousand can be defeated in head-to-head combat. , all very strong.
At the same time, the entire army is constantly being selected, and those with strong personal abilities are here. From time to time, a few of them will be transferred to serve as officers, and they all perform very well, and achieve many good things with one fell swoop...
The internal fighting among the enemy troops continued. Wang Yan stood still and watched until the sunset faded and the whole army lit torches, and the commotion stopped. The final result was that only a few people wearing armor survived, and most of them were killed.
Among them, there must be people who died in vain. After all, they are either wearing armor or bullying others, but there are many civilians who are forcibly recruited. After all, there are no good things for soldiers at this time.
Although these people are Liu Yu's subordinates and may be stronger than Gongsun Zan, their strength is limited. After all, deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates is a basic skill of managers. Liu Yu was a confused and smart man, and his subordinates did what he wanted, so he thought that he was in charge of great things. He did not pick up things on the road, did not close his house at night, the people were rich, and the soldiers did not commit crimes. But this kind of thing is really a bit embarrassing in this day and age and the current situation.
As for Liu Yu after he was killed by Gongsun Zan, many people avenged Liu Yu, and even the Wuhuan people sent troops. There are many things involved. There must be some who are really purely seeking revenge for Liu Yu, but definitely not everyone, but they all use this banner. The more reason is actually very pure, just to fuck Gongsun Zan.
There is nothing new under the sun. The beatings are all for oneself.
General Wang kept his word, and when he saw that the emotions of these people had stabilized, he immediately organized people to carry out comfort work. He also organized people to count the money, food and weapons, and began to organize the gangtou army to make rice. They even sent people back to Feiru to expedite the delivery of meat.
Here they were cooking, and there they were digging holes for firewood, burning and burying the bodies. What's floating in the air is the smell of human flesh. But the soldiers pretended they didn't hear it. There were 30,000 people from the Prime Minister's family of the two armies, all surrounding the gang leader army, waiting for food.
After the army Sima counted the food and saved the money for the next day's breakfast, he began to distribute food to the people. The food brought with the army is not much, that is, less than half a month's supply. More food has to be delivered slowly by the food transport team.
But this half month's supply is used for fighting. After all, fighting consumes more food. Although it is still not enough to eat, it is definitely better than normal food. Therefore, this half-month's supply was distributed to the soldiers, and they took back porridge every day, so that the whole family could eat for half a month.
The comparison between these two and a half months is that the current situation of people's lives is not much better than a family with only one suit of clothes...
Wang Yan didn't eat. He took six of his personal guards with him, and under the light of torches, he chatted with the people who were sitting in the cold wind waiting for their meals and turning their backs on the dark side. He even dispersed the soldiers and militia, sat down with them, and answered their questions.
The reason why he brought six personal guards was not to guard against the common people armed with weapons. He wanted to raise the bar and let them know that he was General Tianwu. Instead of him having to explain to people in the past. At this time, although the six personal guards were few, they were still numerous. They definitely represented more than just the identity of the six personal guards. With them, they also had the absolute will to power to control life and death.
He was not only chatting with the common people as a Yellow Turban rebel born in the capital of Guizhou, but also as a general of Tianwu, talking to the common people under his rule. Although these common people cannot feel it, these are two different things that actually exist. The cautious eyes they look at, the trembling and excitement in their words all illustrate this point.
"The villain has met the great general."
Another group of people arrived, and they quickly got up.
But before they could get up, General Wang sat down on the ground: "Don't be too polite, just sit down."
Looking at the people sitting down again, he saw the face of one of them by the light of the torch, pointed at him with a smile and said, "What is your name?"
"Back to the general, my surname is Chen Mingchong, from Yuyang."
"No expression?"
"My father is a tenant of a wealthy family. I picked my name after I learned a few characters later on, so I don't have a nickname."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Just like you, I also picked my own name, and I also picked up my name by secretly learning some literary skills. In this case, I should pick it up with you. The one who rushes is empty, Lao Tzu says, "It's as big as a flood, and its uses are inexhaustible. Are you the eldest son?"
"The eldest brother died young, and I am the second son."
"In that case, I will write the word Zhongying with you." Wang Yan wrote these two words on the ground with his fingers, waved his hand to stop Chen Chong from kowtowing in thanks, and said with a smile, "I saw you in the army formation earlier. I am very relieved to be the first to draw my sword. It would be so sad if we, brothers, had to meet each other with swords and fight to the death. Fortunately, you have the courage to draw your sword and seek your own safety.
Zhang Kun has made it clear to you how I will treat the people, so I will say no more. After you return home, you should spend the winter with peace of mind. As I said before, after we capture Youzhou, civilian officials will go to your villages and other villages to assign work to survive the cold winter and wait for the coming spring. You all have weapons. After returning home, if someone bullies you, you should unite as one and draw your sword to kill them.
How can we, the leaders of Guizhou Province, survive? One holds the sword in his hand, and the other unites the brothers so that no one dares to deceive one another..."
Wang Yan smiled and did ideological work for these people, and drew a picture of the future, asking them to work for him, make their lives better and better, and not to be tyrannized by others...
Zhang Kun just sat aside with a smile, feeling very beautiful in his heart at this moment. Because he was a regular soldier of Xuanwu Wei, he was assigned by the deacon of our army to come and tell these people how good life was in Liaodong.
But what he didn't expect was that General Wang actually called out his name. He was just a soldier at the lowest level. The general did meet him, but that was four years ago. When the general inspected Pingguo, he entered their house to see the situation. At that time, he was not old enough to join the army, and his family was still from Wuhuan. Later, Changed the surname to Zhang.
But now the general actually called out his name. This is the general. He governs millions of soldiers and civilians and works hard all day just to let them live a good life. Now it is for more people to personally The general who came out to fight on the front line, the general who was enshrined in their home, called out his name...
I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly for their support.
Thank you to all the brothers who recommended me for your support,
Thanks to the big brothers who read silently for their support.
