Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

"Well said!" Zhang Chen walked over.

Gao Shun, Fang Ping, and Qian Zhao greeted them and said, "Greetings, my lord."

Zhang Chen looked at everyone and said, "You must remember what General Gao said just now. As brothers in the army, we have a comradeship, sharing life and death, and hardships. Only in this way can we build an indestructible and invincible iron army! Look at the people around you. Those you bully today may be the ones who save your life on the battlefield in the future!"

"I will remember it."

"Pass my order, all the surrendered soldiers of the Black Mountain Army will be incorporated into the new army and re-registered. Order Fang Ping and Qian Zhao to be captains of the new army, each commanding 2,000 soldiers. From now on, the word "surrendered soldiers" will never be mentioned again!"

"I obey your order!" Gao Shun and the other two responded immediately.

"In addition, after the reorganization, select the best soldiers and distribute weapons to prepare for war. Those who do not have weapons will stay in the city and continue training."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "Brothers, the 20,000-strong Black Mountain Bandit army has stationed in Linzhang, intending to attack Yingtao. If we do nothing, when they are free, they will definitely attack Guangping to avenge the previous defeat! Therefore, I have decided to rush to Yingtao to recover Cheng'an and Linzhang counties occupied by the bandit army! "

"This battle is the first battle of the new army! I know that everyone came to join the army to make achievements. But now, the weapons are not yet complete, so some brothers have to stay in the city. If anyone wants to win the first battle, show your skills. If you are selected later, you can follow me to win the first battle!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers suddenly shouted and their morale was high.

At this time, outside the tent not far away, Qu Yi and Gao Ming were watching this scene. Qu Yi couldn't help but smile and nodded secretly.

Just a few words made people excited. Zhang Zifan is really a character!

"General."

"Gao Ming, what do you think of Zhang Chen?"

Gao Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang is strict in managing the army, and he has the style of a great general."

"Yes, these newly recruited soldiers are of mixed quality, but they can gather momentum with just a few words from him. This man is indeed not simple!"

Qu Yi sighed, and couldn't help thinking secretly in his heart.

I am determined to choose a wise leader for the brothers of "Xian Dengying". Could it be that this person should be chosen?

This person is kind and righteous, sympathetic to the people, respectful to the wise and humble, and ambitious. He is a rare hero.

He formed the "Xianzhen Camp", pacified the four camps, and defeated Yu Du. He is also quite talented in managing the army.

However, after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I don't know if the rumors are exaggerated?

Well, in this battle of Yingtao, I will see how capable he is and whether he is worthy of our lives.

Qu Yi thought about it in his heart, then smiled slightly and turned back to the tent.

Gao Shun and others followed Zhang Chen's order and immediately started to re-register the surrendered soldiers of the Black Mountain Army and mixed them into the new army.

After Zhang Chen's admonition, the soldiers of the whole army put aside their prejudices at this time, but they were eager to try the next selection.

After all, no one wanted to give up the glory of this first battle.

In the afternoon, Gao Shun and other generals gathered in the parade ground to select the elite soldiers in the army. Zhang Chen also sat on the general platform in person to watch the new army's drill.

For a whole afternoon, the new army soldiers went through three tests of fighting, archery, and riding, and finally selected 5,000 elite soldiers, equipped with weapons and weapons, and were ready at any time.

The other more than 2,000 people had to stay in the city temporarily and continue to train because of the lack of weapons and weapons.

Zhang Chen looked at the new army soldiers in the field, walked slowly to the front of everyone, and said loudly: "Soldiers, the Black Mountain bandits gathered to make trouble and disturb the peace of our people. Previously, Yu Du led his army to invade the border and was defeated by our army. Now Bai Rao and Sui Gu led 20,000 troops to station in Linzhang, aiming at Yingtao. In order to protect the people of Jizhou, I have decided to rush to Yingtao and fight against the bandits. You are all the elite of the new army. This time we must work together to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop!"

"Defeat the bandits in one fell swoop!"

"Defeat the bandits in one fell swoop!"

...

"My lord! My lord!"

Ju Su ran over from the gate in a hurry and trotted all the way to the parade ground.

"My lord, they're moving! The enemy troops in Linzhang are moving!" Ju Su adjusted his breathing and said, "The scouts reported that the Linzhang army moved out this afternoon. Judging from their movements, it was Yan Tao!"

"All the generals, listen to my orders. Let's discuss matters in the tent!"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he went straight to the big tent.

In the tent, Zhang Chen looked at the map in front of him and asked, "My lord, have all the soldiers and horses in Linzhang been dispatched?"

"My lord, according to the scouts' report, there are only a thousand old and weak people left in the city."

"Linzhang is more than a hundred miles away from here, right?"

Ju Su replied, "One hundred and five miles. If the infantry marches quickly, they can arrive in two days."

"Okay! Qian Zhao, listen to my orders!""I'm here!" Zhang Chen gave an order, and Qian Zhao stood up immediately.

"Cheng'an fell into the hands of bandits before, and the county magistrate abandoned the city and fled. Now a small group of bandits are entrenched in the county, robbing houses and harming the people. I order you to lead a thousand troops to enter Cheng'an, eliminate the bandits, and appease the people."

"I obey your orders!"

"Where is Fang Ping?"

"I'm here!" Fang Ping also hurriedly stood up and responded.

"The Black Mountain army has left, and Linzhang is empty. I order you to lead 3,000 troops to capture Linzhang!"

"I obey your orders!"

"Wait!" Ju Su hurriedly said, "My lord, although Linzhang has only a thousand old and weak people, if we can't win quickly in a hurry, once the enemy army sends a signal and orders the bandit army to come back for help, our army will be in danger."

"Yes."

Zhang Chen thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense. Linzhang and Yantao were not far apart. If they came back for help, they could arrive in an instant. To seize Linzhang, we must fight quickly and decisively!

Zhang Chen looked at Ju Su and said, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

Ju Su smiled and said, "I have a plan. We don't need 3,000 soldiers. We only need 1,000. We will definitely be able to seize Linzhang without bloodshed."

"Oh?" Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he heard this. "What is the good plan? Tell me quickly!"

"The armor and flags of Yu Du's troops are still there. As long as General Fang Ping leads a thousand troops, puts on those armors, flies the Black Mountain flag, pretends to be defeated, and tricks the city gates into opening, we will definitely be able to seize Linzhang without bloodshed!"

"Good!" Zhang Chen was overjoyed after hearing this. "This plan is great! Fang Ping, act according to your plan."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Gao Shun!"

" "The general is here!"

Zhang Chen pointed to the map and said, "Linzhang is east of Yingtao, and the two bandits will attack the east gate. You lead the trap camp, take 100 war horses, walk along the small road, hide your movements, and lie dormant ten miles east of the city. When the signal bomb sounds, lead 600 soldiers to attack from the back road. Another 100 soldiers, tie branches to the tails of horses, gallop on horses, and raise dust to confuse the enemy. "

"I obey your orders!"

"Zhang He, Qu Yi!"

"I am here!"

"You two lead your troops and follow me to help Yingtao!"

"I obey your orders!"

After Zhang Chen made the arrangements, he dispersed the tents and the generals went to prepare.

At five o'clock, the troops of Qian Zhao and Fang Ping broke camp and went straight to Cheng'an and Linzhang. Gao Shun also led the trap camp and ambush along the small road to the east of Yingtao.

Zhang Chen also led 3,000 elite cavalry and joined forces with Zhang He and Qu Yi to head straight for Yingtao.
