Lu Ning treated the Great Prairie as a battlefield, as the logistics support for his Big Bear Army! Weapons, equipment, and rations were all obtained from the battle. They were replenished wherever they fought, and the policy of taking everything for themselves was completely implemented. They killed everything on the grassland, leaving only the young and beautiful women.
"Didn't you lead your troops to many battles during this period of time?" Zhang Liao asked. How could they not have fought?"
Lu Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head." At the beginning of last month, I only had 200 soldiers under me. I personally led Li Buhui and the others to gradually grow stronger in the battle. Although we won one victory after another, those victories were obtained through surprise attacks, long-range attacks, sneak attacks, harassment, besieging reinforcements, ambushes, and other methods. Our army has never fought the enemy head-on. Now, it's different. With so many commoners around, it's giving me a headache! If there weren't so many people dragging me down, I wouldn't be afraid even if more enemies came. So, Wenyuan, I'm frowning now. I have no other choice.”
Zhang Liao said," Then have you thought about attacking Mayi City and Yin Guan City? Although these places are currently occupied by the Xianbei cavalry, they don't have a lot of troops. As long as you attack, it shouldn't be difficult to take down the cities. That way, you can solve the problem of the You surname and the problem of defense."”
Lu Ning said," Wen Yuan, I've thought about all of this. We're just a bear on the plains now. Once we take over the city, Ding Yuan of Bing Province will definitely send troops to attack us. Don't look at these corrupt officials in the court. They are afraid of the Xianbei and Xiongnu cavalry, but those bastards are best at fighting internal wars. When they see that we have driven away the foreign Tartars, they will immediately come to attack us. At that time, we will be attacked on many sides.”
Li You said," Mayi, Sangqian, and other small counties don't have many Xianbei cavalrymen, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to fight. However, there are 5,000 Xianbei cavalrymen from the Tuoba tribe stationed in the Yin Mansion. With our current ability, we can't take them down.”
"Then what plans do you have?" Zhang Liao asked again.”
" Not now," Lu Ning said." We can only send more scouts to continuously scout the surroundings, and then make a battle plan based on the situation." Of course, there were also ambushes, reinforcements, sneak attacks, harassment, and other means. Our army had to lure the enemy to a place far away from the people to fight. Otherwise, the people will be hurt. That won't do. We attacked the Horse Gang, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and so on to protect the people at the border of our Great Han. How can we disregard the lives of the common people for our own safety! "However, if that's the case, our losses might be extremely huge, and we might even be destroyed by the enemy. However, there was nothing they could do about it. Since ancient times, everyone had died. Let's leave our hearts to shine through history. Let's use our blood to protect our homeland.”
Zhang Liao was very touched. He was a hot-blooded man. Although he was young and was only a small soldier in the government army, he had always hoped to protect his family and fight against the Xianbei and Xiongnu. However, the current government troops only knew how to bully the people. They did not dare to fight the Xianbei and other foreign barbarians, so they had always been unhappy.
Zhang Liao was deeply moved by Lü Ning's words. He immediately got up and knelt down to Lü Ning."Lord, if you are not bored, I, Zhang Liao, will follow you to the death, killing foreigners and protecting the country.”
Lu Ning stood up and helped Zhang Liao up." Thank you, Wen Yuan. I will never let you down in my life, nor will I let anyone here down. I hope that we can work together to fight the battles in the future. We will use our sabers to welcome the enemies."”
Lu Ning thought to himself that he had finally gotten a famous general from the Ancient Three Kingdoms! Hahaha!
After hearing Lü Ning's words, everyone said,"Yes, my lord. Let's listen to my lord's arrangements."”
" We don't have any infantry now," Lu Ning continued." From tomorrow onwards, Wen Yuan will be in charge of the training of all cavalry, with Buhui assisting. However, Regretless had to pay close attention to the training of snipers. This could not be relaxed for even a moment. Also, the recruitment of new recruits had to be of high quality. It was better to have fewer but better soldiers than to have low-quality soldiers.”
"Yes, my lord," everyone said in unison.
Zhang Liao looked at Lü Ning in confusion and asked,""My lord, what kind of soldiers are the scouts you mentioned just now? What kind of soldier is a sniper?"
Lu Ning smiled." Wen Yuan, this is the new name I came up with. Scout is scout, and sniper is master archer."”
For the next two days, Zhang Liao was in charge of the entire soldier's training. At first, the soldiers were still skeptical of Zhang Liao's ability. As Zhang Liao demonstrated his ability during training, the soldiers were convinced.
According to the reports of the scouts, Lü Ning stayed in front of the map all day long, gesturing left and right. After careful consideration, Lü Ning decided to take the risk and attack.
If he didn't attack first, once the Tuoba tribe and Murong tribe attacked at the same time, Lu Ning really couldn't handle it. Right now, he could only eat the weaker Murong tribe and then think of a way to deal with the Tuoba tribe.
That night, L??N??ng called all the generals below the rank of second lieutenant for a meeting. First, L?N?ng told everyone his thoughts, and everyone started discussing.
Li You asked in confusion,""My lord, if we were to run far away and attack the Murong Clan's headquarters, we might not be able to achieve the effect of a sneak attack. After all, it's nearly a thousand miles away from our army. If we can't achieve the effect of a sneak attack, we can only fight head-on with the Murong Clan's cavalry. Although the Murong Clan's cavalry hasn't been fully assembled, they have at least three thousand cavalry in their headquarters. Even if we win, it will be a tragic victory. I reckon that not many soldiers will survive. How are we going to defend against other enemies who are coming to attack us in the future?”
Lu Ning explained to the crowd," Although the Murong Clan's base camp is close to a thousand miles away from us, I've calculated that we have close to six thousand warhorses and two thousand soldiers. If one person and three riders, we should be able to reach it in a day and a night. It's just that the soldiers will be very tired. I wonder how strong our soldiers will be when the time comes. If the soldiers are able to hold on, we can easily eliminate the Horse Gang in that area. This will give our soldiers a certain amount of replenishment. Of course, if our army can't achieve the goal of sneak attack, then we will be very passive, and even our entire army will be destroyed. If we don't take the risk, we won't be able to get out of this predicament. After all, we have offended the Tuoba tribe and the Murong family. Even if we didn't offend them, they would still come to destroy our army.”
Lu Ning knew very well that during this period of time, he had attacked quite a few Xianbei tribes. If he didn't take the initiative to attack, once the Xianbei army arrived, his soldiers wouldn't even be enough for one round of attacks. Now, he could only fight with his back against the wall and think of a way to open up the situation.
