"General~"
The excited and high-spirited figures echoed in the forest.
A chariot came twisting and turning, and the soldiers on the chariot were obviously impatient.
The mountain road was a bit rugged, so the soldier jumped down and ran towards Du Tan.
"What's up?"
The soldier looked happy and said loudly, as if claiming credit: "Back to the general, our vanguard captured the Jin soldiers' baggage and captured countless grains, grass and treasures."
After saying that, his eyes were burning, there must be a reward, right?
Du Tan, however, frowned and thought for a moment and asked, "How much does it take to be beheaded?"
The soldier thought for a while and replied: "The Jin soldiers' morale was low and they fled without much resistance. Therefore, there were no casualties on both sides, but our army captured a lot."
There was not much joy on Du Tan's face, and he just lightly ordered someone to take him down to rest and receive the reward.
Deng Li, the leader of the Jiazi Brigade, asked with some confusion: "Is the general worried about fraud?"
Diao Chang, the leader of the B Brigade, also asked: "General, the Jin army retreated overnight again. I'm afraid it's the end of the war."
Du Tan sighed and said: "You guys, our rear army is actually not much worse than the Zuo army, but why is the Zuo army the leader?"
Deng Li and Diao Chang looked at each other, wondering why Du Tan suddenly asked such a question.
"It's nothing more than that there is Lin Zhiming in the Zuo Army who can take charge of his own affairs, and there is also Tang Chou Yin who can endure the evil."
"In this regard, the five brigades of our rear army are brave and courageous, but it is difficult to have a strategy."
"This battle is crucial, and it is also a turnaround for our rear army. There must be no mistakes."
Du Tan added: "I have investigated the three battles between the left army and the army in front. Yan Tao's troops were excellent and brave, but they were defeated repeatedly, resulting in more than half of the casualties and the loss of three brigades. The company commander has Si It’s even more impossible to count, why?”
"It's nothing more than a word of arrogance and nothing more than an underestimation of the enemy. Lin Zhiming of the Zuo Army's C-shaped brigade is Yan Tao's most proud general. Now his head is in a different place, and there is Tang Qiu, who you look down on, even though he is a bit greedy for life. There is a strategy, but now it is also a word of death."
At this point, Du Tan asked his two brigade leaders: "Have you ever known each other before?"
Deng Li and Diao Chang both shook their heads.
Du Tan also knew that his two subordinates were straight-thinking.
"There are only two people that Guan Cheng can take action against. One, Wu Chengju, is no better than a ranger, and the other, Wang Yeyuan, Shu Guoxiao Lieutenant, is just a defeated general and is not worth mentioning at all."
"However, we can repeatedly defeat strong troops with weak troops. Those who stand out are the ones who take the lead. I have absolute confidence in you. You all came from the ranks of regular soldiers, but there is one thing you don't have."
"Although Guan Cheng's son is a prince, he has been hanging out with the common people since he was a child. His ability to win over people's hearts and control the morale of soldiers really has merit. Moreover, he is bold and careful, and he likes to take risks. Although he has The risk is huge but the reward is not small.”
Deng Lidao and Diaochang nodded repeatedly when they heard this. Du Tan knew that they didn't listen as soon as he saw this.
"Back to the topic, the essence of the art of war lies in the truth and the false, and Guan Cheng'er is quite talented in this regard."
Deng Li understood this sentence, so he asked: "General, do you mean this is Guan Chengxiao'er's strategy to lure the enemy? Deliberately abandoning some baggage? But this is not worth the gain. Our army's strength is several times that of his. This Although there are ambushes in the mountains, it is not difficult to find them with careful investigation. It is still difficult to pose a threat to our army with the strength of the Jin army."
Diao Chang continued: "Old Deng is right. Besides, the Jin army lost their property and it can be said that they were light and simple. However, they threw away a lot of food, grass and baggage. Do they usually rely on hunting to supplement their supplies?"
Du Tan looked into the distance with a hint of sadness: "This is something I haven't thought of yet."
"Send an order to the front troops and spread out scouts. Every plant, tree, and movement within a radius of five miles to less than ten miles will be clearly visible to me."
Deng Li patted his chest and said, "My Majesty will arrange this myself."
But Du Tan didn't know that Guan Cheng and others had been broken into pieces at this time and completely scattered into the vast mountains.
Guan Cheng personally led more than 50 people around and walked behind Du Tan and others, and even looked at the place not far away with cat eyes.
Dozens of Jin troops were like ghosts, with a vague tendency to surround the Jin soldiers.
This was the first time for everyone to come into contact with this combat mode. Cooperation and tacit understanding required hard work. One group of Jin soldiers was bitten by the Jin soldiers' forwards, and Yousi had no choice but to abandon a dozen of his brothers to kill him before retaining the main force. .
The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty felt a sense of novelty. Although some people felt that this behavior was a bit shameful. It was really shameful to be so hidden as a soldier, but the head around the waist did look a lot more comfortable.
Although the Jin army has not yet grasped the key points, some troops can easily be attacked and cause greater casualties. There was even a small army completely wiped out in a place where Guan Cheng could not see. The Jin soldiers vented their anger and provoked the Jin army to attack. Hanging on high branches.
But the information Du Tan gathered was so heart-wrenching that it made people bite their teeth.
Bang~
A huge force hit the table, and Du Tan stared with blood-red eyes like a wounded tiger and roared: "Two days have passed, who can tell me where the main force of the Jin army is? Where is the logistics of the Jin army? Guan Cheng Where?"
In the tent, Deng Lidiao often shrank his head and did not dare to say anything. The other company commanders and others did not dare to breathe.
"You're all talking! Are you mute?"
Du Tan picked up a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and continued in a cold voice: "More than three hundred people! I lost more than three hundred people without you in two days, but the heads you brought back were not even one hundred! Deng Li!"
Deng Li, the leader of the Jia brigade, couldn't help but trembled and stood up and said: "My subordinate is here!"
"The day before yesterday, you promised in front of my general that any trouble within a ten-mile radius must be known. But what's the result? Just three hours ago, more than twenty people were beheaded by the Jin army, less than five miles away from here. You Come and tell me, general, how you did your investigation."
The more he talked, the more angry he became. Du Tan slammed the bamboo slips in his hand on Deng Li and shouted: "This is calculated by the secretary of the army. Show it to me and take a good look."
Deng Li didn't dare to disobey, so he picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and opened them.
"Read it out!"
Everyone in the tent secretly held their breath, and with the words that popped out from Deng Li's voice, everyone realized that the situation seemed not to be optimistic.
"Three hundred and sixty-six people! Listen carefully!" A cold light flashed across Du Tan's eyes.
"In just two days, the loss of our army has been extremely close to 10%. If it takes another month, will all my heads be placed on Guan Cheng's case?"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and the whole tent was full of people knelt down and cheered.
Du Tan sighed helplessly and was silent for a while before saying, "Everyone, get up."
"I knew that Guan Cheng was cunning, but I never thought that this boy could be so despicable. He is like a loach that cannot be caught no matter how hard he is caught."
Deng Li glanced around invisibly, and finally stood up and said: "General, although the Jin army is small in strength, our army is always outnumbered while the enemy's troops are numerous along the way. His subordinates believe that our army is overdivided and is not as strong as the whole army." If the Jin army gathers, it can only be divided into two or four groups. In this way, the Jin army will be small and invincible, and our army can encroach. If the Jin army gathers, it will be an excellent opportunity for us to fight."
Du Tan felt a little relieved. Being able to say this showed that he had used his brain.
"But the Jin army may also take this opportunity to run away completely. At that time, my rear army will make no less jokes than the left army."
