"Messenger, inform all the troops to set up camp!”I'll give the order first. I see the study
"Yes, sir!" The messenger received the order and left.
"Father, I won't explain first. Immediately send scouts out and let them understand the current situation on the battlefield. Send two strong warriors to sneak into Moling and inform General Zhang that our reinforcements have arrived. The vanguard of five thousand troops had arrived, and the main force was personally led by Governor Wang.”I told my father.
His father immediately ordered," This is another ploy to make General Zhang calm down, right?”，his father said.
I just smiled and didn't answer. At this moment, I was thinking that I should first think of a way to suppress Ling and Zhou. This kind of general had to suppress them in terms of military command before he could think of a way to subdue them. Could it be that I'm going to learn from those Writers A and B who can pick up any general on the road, or recite a few poems from their descendants to those civil officials, and call it using talent to move them!
Two hours later, the entire army will be stationed. I'll have my father order the commanders to come to the camp for a meeting.
When they arrived at the camp, the scouts who had gone to scout the area returned. I'll let the scout report the situation first.
"Report! Zhou Cang, the deputy general of the Yellow Turban Army, had led twenty thousand soldiers and horses to thirty miles below the city yesterday and set up camp in a forest. They had attacked the city seven times in a row. As they did not have siege weapons, the soldiers and civilians in Moling City were united and had already repelled the enemy's attacks seven times in a row. Then, General Zhang divided the 8,000 soldiers into two teams of 4,000 soldiers each and took turns to defend the city. Yesterday, the Yellow Turban Army had more than five thousand casualties, while Moling City had only one thousand casualties. The Yellow Turban Army did not attack the city today. They might attack after all the follow-up troops arrived. The rear troops of the Yellow Turban Army, led by Liao Hua, had been stationed in Qiling Harbor today. It was estimated that it would take until dawn tomorrow for all of them to be stationed. They could attack Moling tomorrow afternoon.”
"What do you think?”His father said to all the commanders.
"Why don't I lead a thousand spearmen to attack the enemy tomorrow? The enemy was a motley crew, and they would collapse in a single battle. If General Zhou Ang led the cavalry to attack again, the enemy soldiers would definitely be in chaos. After that, the two generals led the remaining soldiers to attack together with the Moling soldiers. We will definitely win this battle." Ling Cao was the first to stand up and say loudly.
"It's inappropriate!" Zhou Ang stood up and retorted," The enemy has 40,000 troops. If your assault fails to cause fatal damage to the enemy, and I lead 300 cavalry to assault, we will definitely fall into the enemy's formation again. At this time, will the two generals lead the army to save us or attack with all their troops? At that time, if General Zhang leads the army to attack again, our army will be completely annihilated. Even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory. I think that if the Yellow Turban Army attacks again, we will die without a burial place, and Moling City will be breached.”
"Both commanders have their reasons. My son, do you have any good ideas?" Father comforted the two of them first before pushing me out. It seems that he is waiting for me to answer the question that we haven't finished talking about.
I stepped forward and said,"I have three plans. The best plan is to let the prefect of Wujun recruit more soldiers and train them to prepare reinforcements." None of our soldiers know the enemy's strength yet. I'm afraid that once we get to the battlefield, we'll all be afraid and won't advance. After all, the enemy has ten times our strength. Including Zhang Ying's army, we only have 11,500 men. Moreover, he probably doesn't even have 8,000 soldiers now. He had just inquired about General Zhang and found that there were still about 7,000 people. The middle plan is for us to join forces with Zhang Ying to defend the city, break the enemy's spirit, and then defend the city to wait for reinforcements. As for the worst plan, we can attack the Guling Harbor and cut off their supply routes. The enemy soldiers will definitely be in chaos because they don't have any food. We can use this opportunity to attack the army." I repeated the plan I told my father to the two of them.
Sure enough, their reaction was the same as my father's. They rejected the best plan, but they didn't understand my middle and lower plans.
"Generally speaking, cutting off their supply routes is indeed the best plan, but we can't use this method now. Any general would send a large number of troops to guard the rations and supplies. That Zhou Cang only needs to send ten thousand troops to firmly guard the grain road. Even if our entire army burns their grain, we won't be able to burn it in a short period of time. The enemy only needed to send a few soldiers to ask for help from Zhou Cang's army. At this moment, we will still be fighting at the port. The enemy forces are attacking from the front and back, and our army is trapped in the port. The movement speed of the army will not be fast, and we may not even be able to escape. The only chance of victory for this method is for our army to burn the rations and retreat within six hours. If there are too many casualties, our army will still lose. The enemy still has 20,000 to 30,000 troops, how can we resist? After wiping out our army, the morale of the lone army in the city will be greatly weakened. If the Yellow Turban Army sends spies into the city to incite them, the city will fall without attack. At most, there will only be a 10% chance of victory. That's why I said it's the worst option." Let me explain in detail.
"As for the middle plan I mentioned, it is to ask our army to send a general to fight the enemy general alone, capture, injure, or kill one of the enemy generals, and then retreat into the city to wait for reinforcements. The disadvantage of the enemy was that they had many soldiers and few generals. As a result, the enemy generals would not dare to take risks alone. Our army has challenged the enemy several times alone, and the enemy will not dare to come out. When the enemy's morale is low, if there is a reinforcement attack from the outside, we will join forces with General Zhang and attack from the inside. The enemy's morale will be even lower and our army may win. Therefore, he had a 50% chance of success. The problem to be solved by this strategy is which general in our army can defeat Zhou Cang and Liao Hua one-on-one.”I asked the generals.
"I'm willing to go!" Ling Cao's eyes widened as he rushed to speak.
"Although Commander is brave, Zhou Cang is also a brave general. In my opinion, the commander will definitely be able to defeat Liao Hua, but this Zhou Cang is on par with the commander.”I curled my lips and said.
"If I can't win, I'll bring my head to see you!”Ling Cao was furious. He stood up and knelt in front of my father.
"Commander, are you willing to make a military pledge?" I squinted and said softly.
"I'm willing to stand, bring me a pen and paper!" Ling Cao looked excited as he raised his head and said.
"Commander, you can't do this!" I got up and quickly helped Ling Cao up."Your words are just a joke! It's just that I haven't known the two commanders for long, so I don't dare to give them orders. If Commander is willing to die, I already have a brilliant plan with at least 70% confidence.”
"General, please speak!" Ling Cao asked anxiously.
"After dinner, my father and I will lead the army to attack the port every two hours. If we attack at night, the enemy will not know the number of our troops. As long as we fight properly, Liao Hua in the port will send someone to Zhou Cang for help. At this time, the remaining enemy troops did not dare to go ashore quickly, fearing an ambush. The ancient art of war had a saying: "When the enemy crosses the river, we can attack them halfway across.”Liao Hua knew about it, so he temporarily ordered the rest of the troops to stop disembarking. When Zhou Cang knows this, he will definitely gather his troops to help. When he gathers his troops, we will have already retreated. Zhou Cang will definitely disband his army again. After doing this several times, the enemy would definitely be exhausted. The troops on both sides were trembling with fear. After midnight, our army can rest and temporarily stop attacking. The next morning, at midnight, we will launch another fierce attack. This time, we will fight half-heartedly. If the enemy reinforcements come, we will retreat. General Zhou Ang, you will lead the cavalry to cover the rear. If the enemy doesn't send reinforcements, we'll attack the port with all our might. Commander Ling Cao, I have an important task for you.”I stopped and drank some water.
"General, tell me quickly." Ling Cao hurriedly asked.
"After the meeting ends, pick twenty of the best cavalrymen from General Zhou Ang's place and eat them immediately. Then, bring enough rations. Once it gets dark, lead twenty cavalrymen to hide in the forest behind Zhou Cang's camp. For the time being, he would not do anything. After midnight tomorrow, keep a close eye on Zhou Cang's camp. If he doesn't dare to come out to help after receiving the call for help, you won't do anything. If he hastily gathers his troops to rescue the port, you will take advantage of his sleepy eyes and lead twenty cavalry to directly kill or capture Zhou Cang alive. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he retreated with one strike. It would be best if he succeeded, but it didn't matter if he failed. Zhou Cang would be afraid of an ambush nearby and would not dare to lead his troops to rescue the port. Whether this battle succeeds or not depends on you alone. Thank you in advance!" After I finished speaking, I bowed deeply towards Ling Cao.
"General, why do this? I am proud of my bravery. I have only seen the strategy of a small general. I should know that it is better to practice fighting against a hundred people than to practice fighting against ten thousand people. The little general didn't look like a thirteen-year-old child at all. He was simply the son of the Han Dynasty!”Ling Cao said sincerely.
At that moment, we all made our own preparations. It was still dark after dinner, so there was still some time before we set off.
I returned to my tent and saw Fan Da standing at the door. When he saw me coming, he saluted me and said,"Good day, General!"”In ancient times, saluting was nothing more than standing up straight and raising your head.
"Fan Da, how old are you brothers?”I'm curious.
"I'm thirty-eight, my second brother is thirty-five, and my third brother is thirty-one, General.”Fan Da said clearly.
"Are you married?" I asked again.
"No, our family is poor. Otherwise, the three brothers wouldn't have joined the army, General.”Fan Da sighed.
"Oh, that's true. Who else is there at home?" I continued to ask him.
"No, the three of us depended on each other.”Fan Da replied.
"No wonder you risked your life last time. Do you know why I made the three of you my personal guards?”I asked him.
"I don't know. We're also puzzled. In terms of martial arts, we can't compare to Chen Heng and Xue Li. Moreover, we're not as good as the two of them.”Fan Da looked puzzled.
"But what I like is your unity! If we win the war this time, don't go back to Wu County to be a soldier. I'll ask the three of you to come. When I return to my hometown, I'll marry the three of you. You guys can still be my personal guards, okay?”I asked with a smile.
"Thank you so much! That's great. I'll tell my brothers later.”When Fan Da heard my words, he was so excited that he even stuttered.
I walked into the tent with a smile on my face. I was thinking about taking in some of my trusted aides first so that I could have a foothold in this chaotic world. Xue Li was a one-track-minded person and was too stupid, while Chen Heng was too smart and cunning. Neither of them could be trusted aides. These three brothers were more suitable!
I recommend a few of my friends 'masterpieces!
