Half a day later, the army had reached an open area 30 miles northwest of Lunu.
"My lord! The scouts had finished scouting the enemy's situation at Lunu's side.”
"At present, the ones besieging that place are the Yellow Turban Army's Zhang Niujiao and Huang Long's troops! There were a total of 40,000 people, of which 10,000 were elite Yellow Turban soldiers, 500 were Yellow Turban strongmen, and the rest were basically ordinary people who had been kidnapped and had limited combat strength.”
At this time, the sentry cavalry had also finished investigating the enemy's situation. Li Zheng, who was in charge of investigating, came to report to Luo Xuan.
"Yes! Not bad! It was not much different from the information sent by the secret guards! You can leave first! The soldiers have worked hard! Have a good meal and rest well!"
Luo Xuan looked at the secret letter that the secret guard had sent him not long ago and nodded. He was quite satisfied with the performance of the sentry. After praising him, he sent him off to rest.
There was no need to talk about the specific rewards. Naturally, the military's merit point statistics officer would calculate the merits of each action and each soldier.
Six years had passed, and the merit system in the Luo family army had been perfected countless times.
It was already very comprehensive.
After Li Zheng left, Luo Xuan handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhang Liao. He looked at them and said,"Take a look! After that, we will discuss the battle plan.”
Very soon, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Luo Yong, and a few high-ranking commanders in the army all circulated the secret letter one after another. They also had a detailed understanding of the situation on Lu Nu's side.
"My lord!" Zhang Liao spoke first. The enemy is several times our number. Although most of them are a motley crew, we still need to take them seriously!”
"At present, this Yellow Turban Army has not discovered us. I propose that we launch a night attack on them tonight!”
"The army will be split into two groups. First, we can use the rockets to shoot into the enemy camp. When the enemy camp is on fire, the two groups will attack from the north and south entrances respectively.”
"If we can directly behead the enemy commander, we can even take the opportunity to defeat their core forces.”
" At that time, with the enemy's morale and situation, they will definitely fall apart. We can take advantage of the situation to completely defeat them and make them surrender!”
"Perhaps we can decide it in one battle!”
The plan was simple, but it was highly feasible.
The main reason was that the Yellow Turban Army had never expected that there would be such a horseman behind them. They were eyeing them like tigers, ready to show their claws and fangs at any time.
"Yes! I have the same intention!"
Luo Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that Zhang Liao's military books these few years had not been in vain.
"I also think that this plan is not bad!"
Gao Shun and Luo Yong both nodded in agreement.
"Our current advantage is that the Yellow Turban Army doesn't know about the existence of a large army like ours!”
"We can take the opportunity to catch him off guard!”
"Even if we can't defeat them in one go, we can still attack them from behind when they attack the city. Unless they decided not to attack Lunu City.”
Luo Xuan analyzed.
Of course, the reason why they agreed to this night attack plan was also related to the combat strength and composition of the Yellow Turban Army.
Otherwise, with how precious Luo Xuan was to his cavalry, he would never have agreed to directly charge into the camp of the 40,000 strong army.
"Since no one has any objections!" he said immediately. Then let's act quickly!"
"Let everyone have dinner early and rest now. After midnight, we will mobilize the army. Gao Shun, you will lead the Breaking Ranks to attack from the enemy's north gate and south gate.”
"Here!"
Gao Shun cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Luo Xuan then looked at Zhang Liao and Luo Yong and said,"Along the way, Zhang Liao, Luo Yong, and Gu Xiang will lead the Wei Army from the south gate and the north gate.”
"At the same time, the plan is not set in stone! Just like what Wen Yuan had said before, defeating Zhang Niujiao's main force would cause the tens of thousands of soldiers to collapse instantly. If there was a chance, he could try to behead Zhang Niujiao!”
"However, we have to pay attention to the casualties!"
"I don't want to hear about our soldiers suffering great losses! Every single one of them was a treasure! They are the foundation of our future power! He must not be careless! Do you understand?"
"Here!"
Zhang Liao and the others cupped their hands seriously, indicating that they had remembered it.
"Then let's disperse first! Go and make arrangements, then eat and rest!”
Luo Xuan waved his hand.
After Zhang Liao and the others left, he went to see Zhen Jiang and Zhen Yan and briefly explained the battle plan to them. Finally, he said,"You don't have to go tonight. Stay in the camp and wait for us to return.”
"Yes, sir!"
The two of them naturally had no objections, nor did they willfully request to go with them.
War was not a treat. The two of them did not have much combat strength and would only drag them down if they followed.
"Brother Zi Yuan, take care!"
"Brother Luo Xuan, be careful!"
Zhen Yan and Zhen Jiang sent their blessings.
........
That night, at the second watch of midnight,
The Breaking Ranks Camp and the Defensive Back Army were both awakened. After some reorganization, the army split into two groups. The Defensive Back Army took the lead, and the Breaking Ranks Camp set off 15 minutes later, heading straight for the Yellow Turban camp outside Lunu City.
In less than an hour, the two armies had already reached their designated positions.
"Send the signal! Rockets ready! Release!"
With Zhang Liao's order, three flames shot into the sky, illuminating the sky.
