Chapter three hundred and ninety-four strategy interspersed with poverty
Yingzhou Longwuwei camp ordered the general platform, and with a arrogant sound, the military uniforms were majestic and walked towards the general platform. https:
Zhang Kuang held Shang Fang's Horse-Zhan sword on his waist with one hand and held the Purple Gold General Tiger Talisman in his other hand. His expression was solemn and majestic, and the drum beat became more intense with Zhang Kuang's footsteps.
Gently placing the general's seal on the table in front of him, Zhang Kuang raised his tambourine slightly and the sound of the drum suddenly stopped: "Three rounds of drums have fallen, who hasn't arrived yet?"
"We see the general."
"Report the number."
"The commander of the heavy cavalry, General Dingyuan, Huo Buyan, came to the scene with his five thousand heavy cavalry. All five thousand men are missing."
"The commander of the light cavalry, General Ningyuan, Xiong Kaishan, arrived at the scene with his eight thousand light cavalry. All eight thousand men are missing."
"General Mingwei Ke Yan, commander of the Spear Guards, brought his 2,000 swordsmen, 3,000 spearmen, and 5,000 halberd soldiers to the scene to fight fearlessly."
"The ranger general Yang Mingyu, the commander of swordsmen and shieldmen, brought five thousand swordsmen and shieldmen under his command to the scene, and all of them are missing."
"The strong general Cao Yang, the commander of the Infantry Death Battalion, wrote that 10,000 infantrymen under his command were present, and not a single one was missing."
"General Zhong Qiang, the general of Ningyuan, led his troops with 3,000 strong archers, 5,000 crossbowmen, and 2,000 bed crossbowmen. They are all present."
"Zhang Feng, the commander of the general's personal soldiers, came to the scene with two thousand soldiers under his command, and there is no missing one."
When a thousand people are present, the earth reaches the sky; when ten thousand people are present, they are boundless; when a hundred thousand people are present, the sun is covered and the sky is covered.
Yingzhou has a total of 50,000 main battle troops, 30,000 auxiliary troops, more than 20,000 baggage troops, and a total of more than 100,000 troops in the Longwuwei camp.
He looked madly at his subordinates who could not see beyond the horizon: "Soldiers, the Turks are immoral and have once again invaded the border. The men of Wu Longwu Camp guarded the territory and defended the home and country. Although they died nine times, they did not regret it. The Turks are thieves and wolves, and they are ambitious.
For hundreds of years, they have repeatedly invaded our borders, killed my people, and destroyed my homeland. Their evil deeds are too numerous to describe. Today, the Turks have once again risen up with unknown forces and invaded our territory. What should our soldiers do?"
"The great dragon warrior guard, alive and dead, has returned with his soul to protect my territory."
The sound that reached the sky and the earth resounded throughout Yingzhou City, and the sound waves flew straight into the yellow sand three miles away.
Zhang Kuang gently raised his right hand, and his shouting voice suddenly stopped, leaving only the sound of gentle breathing. The orders and prohibitions were followed, which shows the severity of Zhang Kuang's military management.
Although Zhang Kuang manages the army strictly, his meritorious deeds must be rewarded and his faults must be punished. His attitude of treating everyone equally, regardless of relative or distance, is quite popular among the officers and soldiers of Longwuwei Camp.
"Huo Buyan listens to orders."
"The last general, Huo Buyan, will obey orders."
"The Turkic cavalry is coming from the north. You lead 5,000 heavy cavalry and stand ready at the east gate and west gate. With three drum sounds as an order, immediately go out from the east gate and west gate to attack the Turkic Chinese army camp!" Zhang Kuang threw out an order flag.
"The general will obey the order."
"Light Cavalry Commander Xiong Kaishan listens to orders."
"The general will obey the order."
Zhang Kuang once again took out an order flag: "You lead eight thousand light cavalry out of the city immediately and return to Crescent Slope three miles away to wait for orders. Three flowers bloom in the sky and immediately attack the Turkic rear army and destroy their food, grass and baggage."
"The general will obey the order."
"Arrow Commander Zhong Qiang listens to orders."
"The last general, Zhong Qiang, listens to the order."
"The eight oxen crossbows were cocked immediately, and four hundred crossbows within a range of 600 steps fired three volleys. The strong bow battalion immediately supported them, covering them with hand crossbows."
"The general will obey the order."
"Ke Yan, Commander of the Spear and Halberd, obeys the order."
"The end will be here."
He looked at Ke Yan with a complicated expression: "You lead the Modao team of spearmen and halberdiers to stand ten feet away from the north city gate to meet the enemy in a five-element chain formation. The deputy generals of the spearmen and the deputy generals of the spearmen are waiting for reinforcements on both sides."
"The general will obey the order."
"Ke Yan."
"The end will be here."
"The North Gate is the main attack direction of the Turks and the first line of defense to guard Yingzhou City. You have a heavy burden and great responsibility."
Zhang Kuang really didn't want to make such a decision, but if he didn't leave the city to meet the enemy, he wouldn't be able to test Mo Dao's true lethality. However, he arranged for 10,000 archers to support him, which should reduce Key Yan's pressure.
"The duty of a soldier is to resist the enemy's invasion of the border. Even if the general dies, he will have no regrets."
"This general will have archers and sword and shield bearers support you when necessary."
"Thank you, General."
"Report! General, the Turkic army has arrived fifty miles away."
Zhang Kuang looked at the scouts calmly: "Are there any siege equipment? Is this battle a fortified battle or a field battle?"
"Back to the general, the Turks have a large number of siege equipment. It looks like it will be a tough battle."
Zhang Kuang frowned: "Emperor Jin is really willing to sacrifice money, but the people in the Dulu tribe have lost their minds and gave up the advantage of the cavalry to fight a tough battle with this general. We are ancestors in terms of attacking and defending the city. Let's explore again.
!”
"It's an order."
"Each ministry and army performs its duties, and those who dare to disobey orders will be punished on the spot."
"Follow orders."
Zhang Kuang gently held up the Zijin General Seal: "Meet the enemy."
With an order given by Zhang Kuang, the 50,000 main battle officers began to march step by step.
"Let's go up to the city wall."
The flags above Yingzhou City were fluttering and whistling in the cold wind.
Zhang Kuang stood on the city wall and looked to the north. When half a stick of incense was in use, a long black line appeared in the snow-white sky, approaching from a distance, heading towards Yingzhou City in a mighty manner.
"If you are poor, you will be strategically interspersed; if you are rich, you will be covered with arrows."
Zhang Kuang was slightly stunned as he looked at the kit that Master Liu had given him when he said goodbye.
Stuffing the note into his arms, Zhang Kuang thought for a moment and looked at Yingzhou Governor Kong Le aside: "Master Kong, how many arrows are there in the city?"
Kong Le said without hesitation: "Not counting the 100,000 arrows you brought, General Zhang, Yingzhou City still has more than 550,000 arrows of various types."
"Distribute them all to the crossbowmen camp."
"Here, General, these arrows belong to all the warehouses in Yingzhou. If they are all sent to the archers at once, we will not be able to defend the Turkic army from a distance without any support later."
"Here, the arrows can be remade if they are gone. The lives of the soldiers are important and we cannot let Keyan bear most of the pressure."
"yes."
Although civilian officials and military commanders are in charge of different things, once a war breaks out on the border battlefield, civilian officials must do their best to support the military commanders and provide supplies to defend the city without slacking off.
Apart from the government orders, these civil servants also knew very well that without military commanders, the border city would sooner or later fall into the hands of barbarians, so Kong Le did not hesitate at all.
After all, the safety of Yingzhou City is tied to him. He can manage government affairs just fine, but he is just a baby compared to leading troops in war and being arrogant.
The 30,000 auxiliary soldiers were busy for a while, and all the 550,000 arrows from Yingzhou City's supply camp were distributed to the bow and arrow camp.
After drinking tea, all the traces of the Turkic army could be seen at a glance, and Zhang Kuang began to observe the arrangement of the Turkic army on the city wall.
Zhang Kuang frowned slightly: "You can say that these Turks have no brains. They also know how to camp and repair to prevent us from waiting for work. You can say that they have brains. You are camping right under our noses. We are not afraid that this general will beat you while you are camping.
Caught off guard?"
Zhong Qiang was also watching the actions of the Turkic army: "General, I see that although these Turks are setting up camp, their progress is slow and they are obviously on guard against us."
"Want to lure us out of the city? I'll give you a trick. I'll tell Shen Hui to beat the drum and the three armies will stand still."
