After leaving Da Qiao's room, Liu Zhang went straight to the study.
The soldiers responsible for delivering battle reports are already waiting here.
Liu Zhang came and quickly went to pay homage.
"Meet the King of Qin!"
"Get up!"
Liu Zhang passed over the soldiers and sat directly on the main seat.
The identity is very obvious, and you can tell at a glance that he is a soldier of the Eastern Army.
"What's the situation like ahead?"
"Inform the King of Qin that the Eastern Army is divided into three groups. General Huang and Pang Jun are outflanking them on both sides. General Zhang goes straight to Guangling."
"The three armies have won consecutive battles and have taken over the entire Guangling County except Guangling. Currently, the army is surrounding Guangling City."
Liu Zhang nodded, this result was completely within his expectation.
"Yes, are Cheng Pu and Han Dang in Guangling?"
The soldier nodded in agreement.
"In the past, the army was divided into three groups. Cheng Pu once led his army to ambush General Zhang Ren. However, with the bravery of General Zhang Ren, our army was unstoppable and defeated Cheng Pu's ambush head-on."
"Currently, Cheng Pu and Han Dang are leading more than 3,000 remaining soldiers to fight against the trapped beasts. Military Advisor Pang said that Guangling City will be defeated in ten days and a half at the latest!"
This news was originally very exciting.
Another ten days and a half will only take one month to send troops.
Being able to capture the whole county of Guangling is a great achievement!
However, Liu Zhang still frowned slightly.
"Are you saying that Zhang Ren forcibly repelled the enemy troops after being ambushed?"
The soldier quickly lowered his head, not daring to answer.
He could hear some anger in the tone.
But the soldiers' silence made Liu Zhang even more angry.
"I'm asking you a question, I'm mute!"
The soldier was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
"King Qin, calm down!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I want you to explain the specific situation clearly!"
Seeing that Liu Zhang was really angry, the soldiers did not dare to hide it anymore and could only tell the whole process.
It turned out that after the Eastern Army landed in Guangling, they were immediately ambushed.
Cheng Pu led three thousand men and suddenly launched an attack while the Qin army disembarked.
It's a pity that Cheng Pu's army was weak and the soldiers had little fighting ability.
They were forcibly repulsed by Zhang Ren and 500 men.
After the army was divided into three groups, Huang Zhong and Pang Tong each led 20,000 troops to sweep across Guangling County, while Zhang Ren led 10,000 people to attack Guangling City, the seat of Guangling County.
As a result, not long after the troops were divided, Cheng Pu launched another attack.
This time Cheng Pu was smarter and launched a night attack.
Unfortunately, it still ended in a disastrous failure.
Although Cheng Pu's strategy was good, morale was too low and the quality of the soldiers was very low.
On the other hand, the Qin army was extremely strong after successive victories.
High morale, well-trained, and well-organized.
Cheng Pu's sneak attack seemed to be actively looking for fighters, but in fact it was no different from sending someone to his death.
Without causing much chaos, Cheng Pu fled in panic, leaving more than a thousand corpses behind.
Two sneak attacks, each one more carefully planned than the last.
Unfortunately, the results are more miserable each time.
Cheng Pu only had a total of more than 5,000 soldiers, and he lost nearly 3,000 in these two sneak attacks.
Except for the soldiers stationed in various counties in Guangling and the soldiers in Guangling City where the government is, where are there even half a soldier?
It was this victory that made Zhang Ren relax his vigilance.
There is no way, there is really no need to waste the soldiers' energy on making arrangements.
Wherever Cheng Pu still has troops, I'm afraid there are more than a thousand people in total.
Could it be that Cheng Pu is crazy and wants to fight out of the city even if he doesn't have the city?
Besides, what if we leave the city?
After two defeats, what morale is there to speak of?
If you dare to leave the city, you will risk your death!
Zhang Ren then issued a military order to let the soldiers rest peacefully. When they marched to Guangling City, they took over the city in one go!
But it was the entire order that led the Eastern Army into a trap.
One dark night, Cheng Pu once again led his army to launch a sneak attack.
This time, there were as many as five thousand people!
No matter how elite the Qin army is, it is impossible to remain calm under an unexpected sneak attack. Panic is the inevitable result.
In particular, there is no overwhelming gap between the number of enemy troops and the Qin army.
There is actually no difference between five thousand people and ten thousand people in a panic.
Furthermore, the five thousand people led by Cheng Pu this time were completely different from the previous ones!
Fighting is brave, morale is high, and the elite level can be compared with the Qin army!
For a time, the Qin army was in chaos.
Fortunately, Zhang Ren remained calm and collected the soldiers while raising a banner while leading his own soldiers to fight to the death.
Under Zhang Ren's bravery, the Qin army gradually calmed down and continued to counterattack.
As time went by, the Qin army's advantages continued to show.
Elite soldiers are not a slogan, but the result of years of training.
As long as you have a backbone, you can quickly calm down and give a powerful counterattack.
Relying on the numerical difference that is twice the enemy's, the disadvantage is constantly reversed and slowly turned into an advantage.
From fighting in the dark to dawn, the Qin army became more unstoppable and had the potential to encircle the enemy.
Cheng Pu yelled, knowing that if he continued to fight, his disadvantage would become greater and greater, and there would be a danger of the entire army being annihilated.
He had no choice but to lead his troops to evacuate.
Before leaving, Cheng Peng beat his chest, lamented and cursed.
This opportunity is really the last chance.
After retreating, all that was left was lingering.
But as long as you are human, you will not stand there and wait to die.
Even if you know you are going to die, you must take a step back first.
In this way, under Zhang Ren's arrangement, the Qin army successfully resolved the crisis.
Not only that, but also defeated Cheng Pu's last vestige of power in Guangling County.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, the final inventory of the battle damage shows that Cheng Pu suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and General Zhang Ren also suffered more than 2,000 casualties."
"Currently, Cheng Pu has captured some more men and is fighting to the death in Guangling."
After learning the entire battle situation, most of the anger in Liu Zhang's heart dissipated.
The fact is that Zhang Ren was careless, and it is the general's responsibility.
But this is understandable.
Even if Liu Zhang personally commanded the troops, he probably wouldn't be able to do better.
Who could have imagined that Cheng Pu would dare to fight and conjure up five thousand elite soldiers!
Fortunately, only more than 2,000 people were lost, and Cheng Pu was finally defeated.
If you look at it from another angle, it can be regarded as unintentional intervention.
Otherwise, Cheng Pu would be in trouble with five thousand men defending the city.
"To report to the King of Qin, General Zhang Ren said that he would wait until the war is over before he can report his guilt to the King of Qin."
Liu Zhang raised his hand to signal the soldiers to get up.
"Forget it, Zhang Ren has made up for it."
"Thank you, King Qin!"
The soldier thanked him repeatedly, not only for Zhang Ren, but also for himself.
"Have you investigated clearly where Cheng Pu got so many soldiers?"
The soldier nodded, he was about to report the matter.
"King Qin, that's it."
