Considering that Yanzhou's defenses were relatively weak now, once something happened, the distance between them would be far and it would be very difficult to rescue them. From a strategic point of view, Yanzhou is a place we must fight for and cannot be lost. East County is the gate to Yanzhou. To the north, we can see Jizhou, to the west, we can enter Wanluo, and to the south, we can enter Chenliu. Not only is it an important place in Yanzhou, but it is also an extremely important strategic hub for our army. After the Black Tortoise Camp and the Dragon Horse Camp were trained, they were especially suitable for this battle. It was almost impossible to encounter organized cavalry in Qingzhou, and restraining cavalry was the Dragon Stallion Battalion's forte. From the perspective of East County, which was a place where battles were fought everywhere, there were many opportunities to encounter large groups of cavalry.
As the only heavy armored infantry unit in our army, Black Tortoise Camp was inspired by the Gao Shun Breaking Ranks Camp, which was used for battle formations and attacks. However, since its establishment, its mobility was the weakest in our army. It did not meet the requirements of our army's rapid movement tactics in the previous battles, so it missed the battle with Guan Hai. It was not tested in actual combat, and no one was sure of its effectiveness.
Only Xu Sheng was extremely confident in his own troops. After a few rounds of reorganization, Black Turtle Camp had gathered the most physically strong people in our army. And in this training, Black Turtle Camp, who had not obtained any military achievements, trained so hard that it was like a devil's training, second only to Dian Wei's madness. Even if they gave up their heavy equipment that weighed tens of jin, their marching speed could almost rival that of Dian Wei's Wind Wolf Battalion. And in a solo battle, with the shields and sabers forming a small formation and a large formation, these physically strong and tall Black Turtle Camp soldiers are like iron buckets, and no one in our army can easily move them. Although the Tiger Stepping Camp led by Yu Jin was also proficient in battle formations, they were unable to fight against a team like Black Turtle Camp, which was as hard as a turtle shell. They could only think of ways to tear apart the formation and divide and conquer.
If these two troops were sent to Puyang, they believed that if they didn't encounter an elite attack that was several times stronger, Puyang would definitely be as safe as Mount Tai.
However, nothing is absolute in the world. About 10 days after Xu Sheng's army set off, our current headquarters in Beihai received urgent military intelligence. Puyang was surrounded by more than 100,000 Black Mountain Yellow Turbans. Dongwu suffered heavy losses from Zang Ba's attack. There was a large group of Yellow Turban soldiers gathering in Taishan County, which was close to the east of Dong Ping. There was a faint sign that they were going to attack Dong Ping. For a time, several strategic locations in Qing and Yan states were attacked at the same time.
Puyang's battle report was sent out 10 days ago, which meant that the news was received 10 days after Puyang was surrounded. Puyang and Beihai were thousands of miles apart, so it was extremely inconvenient to transmit military intelligence. The battle report written by Xun Yu, which was sent to him at present, only confirmed the origin and number of Yellow Turban soldiers surrounding Puyang. It turned out to be from a famous Yellow Turban powerhouse in history: Black Mountain Yellow Turban. This troop of more than 100,000 soldiers led by Zhang Yan, Yu Du, Sui Gu, and the others performed quite well. They advanced at lightning speed and suddenly appeared without our army noticing, surrounding Pu Yang. Among them, there were more than 20,000 elite cavalrymen known as the Black Mountain Light Cavalry.
In the original space-time, Yuan Shao was helpless, and even Cao Cao had to lower his head and surrender to Zhang Yan and Zhang Pingnan. Clearly, Xu Sheng and his two battalions of soldiers were not a match for them. In particular, Zhang Yan had the most famous Black Mountain Light Cavalry after the three elite cavalrymen in the world. This was one of the elite light cavalrymen that could almost be compared to Gongsun Zan's white horse. Even if Xu Sheng's Dragon Stallion Battalion was one of the nemeses of cavalry, if the enemy had long-range archers, they would be able to defeat the enemy. These 5000 elite soldiers of the Dragon Stallion Battalion were undoubtedly perfect targets for the enemy.
When I received the news, my expression suddenly changed, causing Guo Jia to look askance at me. After all, this was the first time Guo Jia had seen me lose my composure. All this while, I had always been calm and composed. However, Guo Jia was not omnipotent after all. For him, his understanding of the Yellow Turban team was nothing more than that of the Guanhai Department. Although it is a little exaggerated for our army to say that one can take on ten, it should not be a problem for one to take on three.
However, I, who had traveled thousands of years, was familiar with Zhang Yan's abilities. It was enough to make Yuan Shao suffer for several years and force Cao Cao to surrender. How could Zhang Yan have such an amazing performance if she didn't know anything? Cao Cao could have gradually subdued hundreds of thousands of Shandong Yellow Turban soldiers with just a few thousand troops, but he couldn't completely deal with Zhang Yan on the battlefield. How could I not know that Zhang Yan's troops are on a completely different level compared to the other Yellow Turban troops? It could be said that at this moment, he was a truly strong opponent among the Yellow Turban elites who could be compared to me.
Furthermore, in terms of cavalry, my Tiger Leopard Cavalry is far inferior to Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Light Cavalry. After all, cavalry isn't easy to train. To truly achieve the unity of a horse and a horse like Zhao Yun, to be able to immediately use both hands, it's one in a thousand. Even if he wanted to master the essentials of cavalry combat, he would have to go through seven or eight years of special training. This also required talent. Cavalrymen weren't as strong as infantry. If it wasn't for Zhao Yun's superb cavalry tactics, the Tiger Leopard Battalion would not have been able to fight against Zhang Yan's experienced Black Mountain Light Cavalry.
I explained the key points and the reasons for the Black Mountain Yellow Turban's combat strength to Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Zhuge Jin, and the others in the military council. At this time, it was impossible to make an effective plan without knowing yourself and your enemy. I could only try my best to tell them my impression and opinion of Black Mountain's Yellow Turban and Zhang Yan, so that my subordinates would have a first understanding of the enemy. I have some unspeakable concerns about the Black Mountain Yellow Turban.
When she heard me mention the Black Mountain Light Cavalry, a trace of splendor appeared in Zhao Yun's eyes. Before we could make a decision, he stood up and said,"I'll go!" His words were filled with confidence and an indescribable feeling. I quickly understood why Zhao Yun had to go. "Because my hometown was destroyed in the hands of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban.”Although it was just a short sentence, I heard a bone-chilling pain.
Zhuge Jin looked at me as if he wanted to say something. However, he was still a little uneasy because he had just arrived. "Could it be that Ziyu wants to retreat with General Zhao?”I think Zhuge Jin seems a little restrained because he just arrived. "I have such intentions!" A real man should run amuck on the battlefield and fight a decisive battle against a strong enemy. Seeing that I described the Yellow Turban of Black Mountain as so powerful, Zhuge Jin was young and vigorous, and his desire to fight was aroused.
"I think that's good too. Zhuge Jin is still young, so it's a good time to gain more practical experience. Although the Puyang Battle was a bit dangerous, but looking at the historical examples of Zhuge Jin's strategy, his use of troops has always been fair and square. However, Zhao Yun's performance in this time and space is a little strange. The two of them can supplement it. Moreover, with Zhao Yun around, there shouldn't be any major problems in terms of safety, so he nodded slightly in agreement.
Guo Jia thought for a long time and said," The plan now is to save Puyang's army quickly. Only General Zhao Yun will lead the Tiger Leopard Battalion cavalry. Along the way, he will join forces with General Xu Sheng's Dragon Stallion Battalion and Black Tortoise Battalion. The two armies will join forces to defend East County. Only then would they be able to reach Puyang within 10 days. Even so, it would be 20 days before our reinforcements arrived. According to my lord's judgment of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban's combat strength, I'm afraid Puyang won't be able to hold on for long!”Guo Jia was right, Pu Yang had already experienced several bloody battles while they were planning!
