Apart from strategic planning, there was also the need for flexible tactics!
This was naturally handed over to Zhang He, the famous general of Hebei Province who was familiar with the art of war!
This was also the only remaining Four Court Pillar of Hebei under Yuan Shao!
"My lord, I have a plan to deal with the Snow Dragon Cavalry!" Zhang He stepped forward and cupped his hands.”
"These Snow Dragon Cavalry are all well-equipped and valiant heavy cavalry. In the plains, if they charge at full force, there is no army in the world that can stop them!”
"Therefore, I will start from two aspects!”
" First, the terrain!"
"The next time we face the Snow Dragon Cavalry, we must not fight them head-on the plains. Instead, we must fight while retreating, and lure them into the mountains and forests!”
"We have arranged for the most elite archers to lie in ambush and wait for the opportunity to launch ten thousand arrows at the same time to seize the opportunity!”
"Before that, we have to rely on the hidden stumbling ropes to slow down their charge!”
"Once the heavy cavalry is tripped, there will be a chain reaction.”
"Our greatest advantage is that our military strength is far superior to Lu Fengnian's. We have plenty of manpower to work with!”
"As long as we destroy the Snowy Dragon Cavalry under Lu Fengnian's command, the remaining seven hundred or so Breaking Ranks are nothing to be afraid of. We can just send out ten thousand soldiers from Qingzhou and wipe them out!”
"As for Lu Fengnian, we can only rely on the human wave tactic to exhaust him to death!”
"This person is extremely cunning. It's impossible to lure him to death. I'm afraid we'll be dragged into the ditch by him!”
"So we can only rely on human lives!"
"If 100 doesn't work, then 1000. If 1000 doesn't work, then 10,000!”
"My lord only needs to promise the soldiers a generous reward, and they will definitely go all out. I estimate that at most 3,000 elites will be enough to exhaust him to death!”
"This fighting style is indeed cruel, but this is the only way to deal with Lu Fengnian!”
After Zhang He finished his words, Yuan Shao clapped his hands and cheered.
"Alright!"
"Xu Yi is indeed a great talent in marching and fighting. This tactic is directly finalized!”
"It's a war. How can there be no deaths? If we can exchange it for wealth and peace for our families, I believe the soldiers will have no regrets!”
Human lives?
In the eyes of these heroes, they were not like grass, but they definitely did not have any soft-hearted feelings. They did not feel that they could bear to see them die.
As long as he could achieve his goal, it didn't matter how many people died.
One had to know that a general's achievements would make ten thousand bones wither!
Yuan Shao's camp was already in a heated discussion with Lu Fengnian, so Lu Fengnian was naturally not idle either.
"Gongtai, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will soon make a comeback. With our current military strength, if we really put it on the table and fight head-on, I'm afraid that even if I die in battle, I won't be able to defeat him!”
"Although we won the last battle by a narrow margin, it can't be replicated!!”
"If Yuan Shao hadn't suffered his first defeat in such a long time, his morale would not have been so lax, how could he have retreated so easily!”
"What should we do next time?”
Chen Gong did not answer immediately. After some thought, he said confidently,"My lord, you don't have to worry too much!"
"Gongsun Zan's fortifications are not so easy to break through. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not have been in a stalemate for so long.”
" No." Lu Fengnian shook his head and said," Yuan Shao will naturally have to expend a great deal of effort if he wants to attack the fortress formed by these blockhouses.”
"However, if he doesn't attack forcefully and just surround Yi Jing City like that, the city's surplus food will be exhausted and it will soon collapse on its own!”
Lu Fengnian had read too many books about city defense battles that were fought to the death and refused to surrender!
Even Cao Ren, the number one city defender of the three kingdoms, was surrounded by Guan Yu for months during the Battle of Fan City. Cao Cao did not dare to help.
As a result, the city's military rations were exhausted. In the end, they could only kill the warhorses, dig up wild vegetables, and catch rats to satisfy their hunger.
Almost all the rats in the city had been caught!
In the end, there were even rumors that they ate human flesh to satisfy their hunger!
Lu Fengnian definitely did not want to experience such a tragic situation!
However, if Yuan Shao really chose to besiege Yi Jing, then Lu Fengnian would have only two choices: to risk leaving the city for a decisive battle or to be forced into cannibalism.
Chen Gong said calmly,"My lord, don't be anxious. Chen Gong is certain that reinforcements will come to our rescue.”
Lu Fengnian was stunned when he heard this. He did not have any good friends here. Who would risk their lives to come and save him?
Suddenly, Lu Fengnian thought of something.
"Could it be that Mister is saying that those dukes who visited me in Julu City will come to my rescue?”
"No, no," said Chen Gong with a smile.”
"My lord has even rejected Yuan Shao, so how could the other dukes be snubbed?”
"And even if they want to save him, they have to think twice before deciding if they have the ability to fight against Yuan Benchu!”
"It's worth it to provoke Yuan Benchu for the lord!”
"That's true." Lu Fengnian nodded.”
"But if that's the case, will we still have reinforcements coming to help?”
"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed!" Chen Gong smiled.”
"My lord, it's good that you believe Chen Gong's words. We will definitely wait for reinforcements!”
Chen Gong wanted to keep them in suspense today. Lu Fengnian had been intelligent for a long time, and Chen Gong had done little.
Now, he could finally prove his usefulness.
Seeing that Chen Gong was really unwilling to explain, Lu Fengnian smiled helplessly and said,"The public platform has also learned to keep you in suspense!"
"Alright, I'll wait for the reinforcements to arrive!”
