Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

"General, Zhang Xun's department is simply vulnerable!"

In Liu Ye's camp, Ma Chao said with disdain.

"A certain led five thousand cavalry drove straight in, and the fifty thousand army retreated without a fight, and was in chaos." Ma Chao sneered: "A certain led the cavalry to kill before the enemy's gate, and Zhang Xun closed the gate in a hurry, so Shang Thousands of enemy soldiers and soldiers were unable to retreat into the camp and were ordered to be killed by the final general. Such a weak army can be defeated in one battle."

Liu Ye nodded: "Meng Qi was successful in today's battle. Naturally, he should be rewarded, but it is not anxious to destroy Zhang Xun."

Ma Chao frowned, and asked for orders: "You don't need too many people, you only need to give the army five thousand cavalry, and the army will be able to defeat Zhang Xun's army!"

Liu Ye didn't speak, but Guo Jia smiled slightly: "General Mengqi, dare you ask you how to defeat Zhang Xun's army with five thousand cavalry?"

Ma Chao proudly said: "The land of Yuzhou is a plain. With the strength of our Xiliang cavalry, I can defeat ten times the enemy in an instant, and five thousand Xiliang cavalry can become Zhang Xun's 50,000 army!"

Guo Jia still smiled: "Jia only said two things."

"Mr. Fengxiao, please say."

"First, Zhang Xun was shrunk in the camp and couldn't hold on. How could the general's five thousand cavalry break through the fence of the camp and enter Zhang Xun's army?"

"This..." Ma Chao frowned, and soon stretched out, clasping his fists and said: "In that case, please also attack the enemy's camp with pawns. After breaking through the camp, the final general will lead the iron cavalry to attack and capture Zhang Xun. level!"

Guo Jia smiled again: "It is natural that the general led five thousand cavalry to defeat Zhang Xun, but he asked the general how much Zhang Xun's fifty thousand army can kill and how much will he let go?"

Ma Chao was silent, it was naturally not difficult to defeat Zhang Xun, but it was really difficult to kill all 50,000 troops, or to be captured.

"Meng Qi, don't worry." Liu Ye explained: "The general has ordered Zhang Jai to lead Nanyang's troops into Runan and cut off Zhang Xun's food and grass. Now Zhang Xun's troops are already unsustainable. Therefore, our military does not need it. When launching an attack, as long as the enemy's army runs out of food and grass, it will naturally collapse without fighting."

Ma Chao frowned: "This is really anxious."

"General Meng Qi don't have to worry about it." Guo Jia smiled: "Zhang Xun will definitely not be reconciled to being trapped in the camp. He will definitely choose the opportunity to break through the encirclement. Then he will have to trouble General's Xiliang cavalry."

"Ma Chao, please!"

Liu Ye nodded: "That's it."

At this time, Zhang Xun's camp was covered by clouds.

"Li Feng, how many people were killed or injured in our army today?" Zhang Xun said solemnly.

"General..." Li Feng bowed his head and said: "Our army, our army..."

"How much is it?" Zhang Xun frowned and asked impatiently.

"Our army killed 11 thousand people today..."

"What? So much!"

Zhang Xun couldn't sit still anymore, as if there was a knife stuck under his butt, he jumped up, in disbelief.

We must know that in the past few days, the warlord Zhang Xun has violently attacked Yingchuan and Chenguo counties, and the total number of casualties is only more than 6,000. But yesterday, the war caused more than 10,000 casualties?

"General, the casualties of our army are about half, and most of the rest escaped." Li Feng whispered.

Zhang Xun sighed. He also knew that most of the soldiers came by force. Now they are facing disadvantages and they are inevitable once they leave.

"No!" Zhang Xun said categorically, "Our army can't sit here and wait for death. We must find a way to escape."

Li Feng stepped forward and said, "General, why don't you pretend to attack by hanging sheep and drumming at night, and then retreat quietly?"

Zhang Xun paced back and forth in the camp, and nodded after a moment: "Well, just give it a try, it's better than exhausting here."

At night, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded in Zhang Xun's army, and Ma Chao immediately led the Xiliang cavalry to kill, and when he saw the enemy's pawns, he hurriedly killed. Zhang Xun originally thought that the method of hanging sheep and drumming had deceived the enemy, but unexpectedly the Xiliang cavalry was suddenly killed out of the night, so he suddenly became a mess.

After the chaos, Zhang Xun's army suffered more than 7,000 casualties, so he had to withdraw back to the camp in a panic. From then on, Zhang Xun directly closed the gate and never dared to go out again.

What's a joke, Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry is waiting outside the camp at any time. Isn't that killing if you go out?

After the two wars, Zhang Xun's army sergeant only had more than 30,000 soldiers, less than 40,000, and morale plummeted. The only good news is that the grain and grass can be eaten for a few more days.

However, Liu Ye was not eager to launch the final attack, but had been regenerating his energy outside Yingyang City, not rushing or impatient.

Liu Ye was still patient, but Zhang Xun couldn't sit still.

"How many more days can Yingzhong Liangcao support?" Zhang Xun said solemnly.

Li Feng sighed: "General, the battalion sergeant has complained a lot in the past few days, even if it is porridge and drink, the remaining rations can only last three days at most."

"Oh!" Zhang Xun sighed, and suddenly felt a sense of helplessness, thinking that Zhang Xun could be considered as a battlefield, but he has fallen into such a situation today.

Suddenly, Zhang Xun fell into contemplation, and Li Feng didn't dare to disturb him, but just watched.

"Pass the order!" Zhang Xun said suddenly: "Order the sergeant to have a full meal, eat all the remaining grain and grass, and send troops out of the camp to fight the enemy!"

"General?" Li Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly advised him: "We only have so much food left in total. How can we squander it like this? Besides, can our army defeat the enemy cavalry even if it sends troops?"

"I know I can't win the fight, but I must fight!" Zhang Xun resolutely said: "This general is a general appointed by your majesty himself. He led an army of 60,000 to fight against Yingchuan and Chen Kingdom. This time, a city has not been won. , Did you just escape back to Shouchun like this? How would you have a face like this?"

You can't escape anyway, so it's better to launch an army and fight the enemy to the death!

Li Feng's heart trembled, and he immediately understood: "General, are you going to fight to the death?"

Zhang Xun nodded slowly: "Well, pass the order."

"Let's go!"

The sergeant camp came out lazily, and suddenly saw a lot of people gather quickly, and lazily said: "What's the hurry? Anyway, I still have gruel today."

"What do you guys know? Today, the general ordered that everyone have a full meal. Go quickly. If you are late, you can't make it."

"What? A big meal?"

Hearing the news of a good meal, the soldiers in Zhang Xun's camp all cheered and jumped out of their respective camps, ready to eat.

They did not know that a disaster was imminent.
