At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Jincheng County, Yuzhong City.

The cavalry of the Yizhou Army are returning one after another, and from the smiles on their faces, we can know that last night must have been a hearty victory.

The main generals in charge of the night attack mission are General Wufeng Tai Shici, General Huwei Zhao Yun, and surrendered generals Pang De and Ma Yue.

The soldiers and horses are in charge of Wufengying and some Liangzhou Jingqi.

It was not the commander-in-chief Liu Zhang, nor the mastermind Xun You, who proposed another sneak attack strategy, but Feng Chu Pang Tong.

After the Yizhou Army defeated Han Sui head-on, tens of thousands of troops chased and killed them for more than forty miles, and captured countless enemy troops!

Such a big victory naturally made the Yizhou army cheer up and down.

Just as the generals were reporting their gains to Liu Zhang, Pang Tong proposed this bold strategy.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

The 300,000 army collapsed and fled for more than forty miles in one breath. The whole army must be full of noise and panic!

It only takes a little trouble to completely destroy the defeated soldiers who are barely surviving.

However, this strategy is also very risky.

Han Sui's defeated soldiers fled for forty miles, and the Yizhou army also chased for forty miles!

Now it is a great test for the physical strength of Yizhou soldiers to let the cavalry rush for forty miles to make a sneak attack.

According to Pang Tong's estimation, no matter how heavy the casualties of Han Sui's army were, there would be at least 100,000 troops.

Attacking 100,000 people with less than 20,000 exhausted cavalry is a huge gamble in itself.

Risks and opportunities coexist, and high risks will naturally lead to high returns!

As long as the night attack is successful, Han Sui's coalition forces will surely collapse again. Although they will not be able to wipe out their entire army, at least they will definitely not be able to fight again in a short period of time!

Liu Zhang naturally agrees with this strategy, and it is similar to Jia Xu's attack on Cao Cao in history that he is familiar with.

Finally, after discussing with Tai Shici and others, and getting a clear attitude, Liu Zhang decided to send a total of 15,000 cavalry to carry out a night attack.

Fortunately, after Didao and Ji County defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng, there was no shortage of war horses in Liu Zhang's army.

After replacing the stirrups and saddles, 15,000 cavalry led by Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and others immediately launched an attack.

Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with Pang Tong's strategy, and the Han Sui coalition forces were completely defeated in World War I!

If there was no sneak attack last night, with the support of the five Qiang clan chiefs, Han Sui would surely be able to regroup the army, and it would be better to come to the city of Yuzhong.

After this big victory, Liu Zhang can temporarily relax!

For at least one to two months, the Qiang soldiers will be in terror, and the morale of the army will be hard to recover. Naturally, Han Sui has no strength to fight again!

After arranging the defense, Liu Zhang ordered to reward the three armies!

Liu Zhang's original plan was to wage a protracted war of attrition with Han Sui, so the materials in Yuzhong City were piled up like a mountain, and there was no need for any supplies for at least a few months.

Unexpectedly, Han Sui was defeated and fled with more than 100,000 deaths in just one day of the war.

Naturally, Liu Zhang would not be stingy with rewards, and took out all the good wine and meat to reward the meritorious ministers.

Just as Liu Zhang was giving a banquet to reward all civil and military personnel, the messenger from Jieting also arrived in Yuzhong.

"Report to my lord, the army division of Lu planned to smash the Xianbei vanguard, killed more than 20,000 Xianbei cavalry, and Du Gen, the leader of the bandits, fled in a panic!"

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, he didn't expect today to be full of happy events!

"How about our loss?"

"My lord, we only suffered more than 300 casualties..."

Then the orderly told the whole process of the battle in detail.

The banquet hall, which was originally extremely noisy, became quiet in an instant, and everyone showed horror.

Annihilated more than 20,000 Xianbei cavalry at the cost of 300 people?

This is probably an unprecedented record in the entire history of the Han Dynasty!

Although the more than 20,000 Xianbei people beheaded on the Jieting battlefield were far inferior to the more than 100,000 Qiang people outside Yuzhong City, the meanings between the two were completely different!

The heavy casualties of the Qiang people were entirely due to their large numbers. Hundreds of thousands of people fled, and most of them died at the hands of their own people. The Yizhou army actually killed not even two or three out of ten people.

But the Jieting battlefield is completely different. The corpses of more than 20,000 Xianbei cavalry were all killed by the Yizhou army one by one!

Most of the Xianbei cavalry were killed before they even had time to flee!

"As expected of Zijing, he killed more than 20,000 Xianbei cavalry with 30,000 infantry!"

Liu Zhang will not be stingy with his praise, and Lu Su has not misunderstood his reputation of "Fulu Guanguan Rao Zijing"!

"Here's an order to make Lu Su a general of the Zan Army!"

Liu Zhang's sudden reward to Lu Su made everyone in the room exclaim in surprise.

Except for Xun You's military counselor general, no counselor was awarded the position of general.

It seems that Lu Su's position in Liu Zhang's heart is really not low!

"My lord is wise!"

Everyone stood up and praised Liu Zhang.

Rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerits are undoubtedly the performance of a master.

"I will see all the merits of the bloody battlefield, and when you succeed in the future, you will all be rewarded!"

The reward for Lu Su was to motivate the soldiers in Jieting. Now the war is far from over, so naturally it is not the time to reward him for his meritorious deeds.

In order to prevent the generals from having other thoughts in their minds, Liu Zhang hastily explained.

"My lord, now in Yuzhong, Jieting has been victorious one after another. Our army's morale is high. Why don't we take advantage of the victories and march forward to wipe out Han Sui!"

Dian Wei was reckless, but his proposal was supported by all the generals.

Now that Han Sui has lost consecutive battles, his soldiers have no fighting spirit, and their morale is low. It is a good time to attack him.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of the victory to march is not about the number of soldiers, the fleeing army is not afraid of the number of troops!

The more than 100,000 defeated soldiers of the Qiang-Han coalition army were completely ignored by the generals.

"My lord, the last general invites you to fight!"

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

"My lord..."

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang's award to Lu Su completely ignited the fighting spirit in the hearts of all the generals under his command.

For a moment, the room was filled with passion and determination to eliminate Han Sui.

The fighting spirit of the generals under his command is so high, Liu Zhang's heart is naturally full of relief.

With these generals moving forward bravely, why worry about Han Sui's immortality?

"Generals, please sit down!"

Liu Zhang waved his hand lightly, making the room quiet for a while.

"I am very pleased to see the confidence of the generals!"

"It's just that it's not yet time for us to take the initiative to attack Han Sui."

After hearing this sentence, both Xun You and Pang Tong were relieved at the same time.

Fortunately, the protagonist was not dazzled by the victory and passion!

However, all the generals in the room showed helpless looks, obviously a little disappointed at not being able to attack.

"Think about it, everyone, what is the basis for us to defeat Han Sui's 300,000 troops?"

"It's a city!"

"If there is no strong city as a support, even if there are all kinds of strategies, they will not be able to use them!"

Liu Zhang has always been very clear-headed. Unless Han Sui's entire army is wiped out, Liu Zhang will never take the initiative to attack without any scruples.

Even if Han Sui had only 100,000 troops left, Liu Zhang still would not underestimate him.

Maybe 50,000 Yizhou troops can defeat 100,000 Qiang troops in a field battle, but they will definitely pay a heavy price.

Every soldier is hard-earned, and Liu Zhang will never squander it easily!
