Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

In Ji County, Yuan Shang heard that the [-] troops sent to attack Shanyang were defeated, and only [-] people returned to the camp. He was very angry and immediately summoned counselors to inquire about countermeasures.

The counselor suggested moving the main force forward.

Originally, his main force was in Ji County, and moving forward was to go to Huojia County.

Thirty miles west of Huojia is Xiuwu County.

The northwest of Xiuwu County is Shanyang County, and the southwest of Xiuwu County is Wude County.Huojia had already been defeated. Originally, Yuan Shang sent two troops to attack Shanyang and Wude.

He didn't expect that 1 people were killed and defeated. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with a soldier in Wude County.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shang couldn't make up his mind, so he thought of the words of his father Yuan Shao before the expedition.

In military terms, he is the general in name, but Wen Chou is actually the general.

Yuan Shang was only [-] years old, and he was raised at home, so he didn't have much experience in leading troops. This time he was appointed as the main general and led a partial division to attack Hanoi, just to give him some military exploits, so we can arrange it later.

Yuan Shang knew about this matter, and so did his generals.

Yuan Shang immediately sent someone to invite Wen Chou, but after a while Wen Chou came to Yuan Shang.

"Third Young Master, you are looking for me!"

"General Wen, you are here!"

Although Wen Chou was lukewarm towards Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang was overly enthusiastic towards Wen Chou.

"The news came from the front line today that Lu Yi was beheaded, and only 3000 of the [-] troops have retreated to Xiuwu. The adviser suggested that I move the main force forward to Huojia County. What do you think?"

Wen Chou has led the army for many years. Although he is a strong man, he still has a way of fighting. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Third Young Master, please tell me in detail how Lu Yi was defeated!"

"According to the report from the defeated soldiers, that's how it is!" Yuan Shang said while recalling.

"There are less than 2 soldiers in Hanoi, and they are now concentrated in Sanyang, Wude and Huai counties. Could it be that Huai county sent reinforcements?"

Wen Chou thought about it, and then denied his guess. "That's impossible. There are no more than [-] soldiers in Huai County. If he dares to send troops out of the city, he won't be afraid of us attacking Huai County. It must be Liu Zhang's reinforcements!"

"What should I do?" Yuan Shang asked cautiously.

"Hanoi County is easy to attack and difficult to defend. My lord asked the third son to send troops to Hanoi, with the intention of attacking Bingzhou from north to south, and crushing Hedong County to block the opponent's retreat." Wen Chou said Yuan Shao's intention slowly.

"Huai County is right in front of us, and we can't run away. Since the local reinforcements have arrived, we will press down on the front line, destroy the opponent's reinforcements first, and then attack Huai County!"

As soon as Yuan Shang heard it, he knew that Wen Chou had agreed to the counselor's suggestion and moved the main force forward.

"General Wen is brave, so the reinforcement general is no match," Yuan Shang patted Wen Chou's ass in good time, which made Wen Chou very happy.

"Decree, pull out the camp early tomorrow morning and move the main force to Huojia!"

The advantage of moving the main force forward is that the distance to support the front line is shortened, and the time to obtain battlefield information is faster.

The disadvantage is that the supply line is stretched, and the coach is more vulnerable to attack.

But Yuan Shang thought that with Wen Chou by his side, ordinary generals would not be able to get close.

After spending one day, Yuan Shang moved the main force of [-] troops to Huojia County.
Huojia County is only [-] miles away from Xiuwu County, and the infantry can arrive in one morning without waiting for their luggage to march.

The messenger came to report that the danger of Shanyang was lifted. Ma Teng wanted to show his merits for Ma Chao, so he passed the battle report to the generals for circulation.

Among the generals, Zhang Qin and Zhang Kui were old subordinates who followed Liu Zhang. Although their abilities were not as good as theirs, their status was not lower than theirs.

Ma Teng wanted to establish a good relationship with them, so he asked the two of them how to march.

Facing the map, Zhang Kui suggested to force the enemy army back outside Wude City first, and then fight the opponent.

Ma Teng immediately ordered Zhang Kui to lead 1 people to Wude County, and he and Zhang Qin led the main force of [-] to move on.

A day later, they arrived in Xiuwu County and camped twenty miles away from Xiuwu County.

The scout quickly returned to Xiuwu and reported to Yuan Shang.

"General Wen, the enemy army has come from afar and is camping. We can take this opportunity to sneak attack."

Wen Chou felt that there was something to be done, so he nodded and said: "You can send a general with 3000 people there. If the opponent is not prepared, then kill him for a while; if the opponent is prepared, then withdraw!"

Yuan Shang immediately ordered a general to lead [-] troops to go out from the south gate and quickly go to the enemy camp twenty li away.

Ma Teng had 3 people and was in a hurry to camp, but there were scouts nearby, but he was unprepared.General Yuan Jun saw the enemy army camping on the flat ground. After a rough count, he saw six camps. After careful observation, he found that the enemy army was cutting down trees and unloading supplies from vehicles. There were not many soldiers and horses around. .

He ordered the whole army to charge, targeting the outermost camp.

The camp was only half built, and the wooden fences were not completely enclosed, and there were no horses on the outside, so the enemy army rushed into the camp easily.

Under the leadership of Yuan Jun's partial general, they killed the Quartet.

The Liu Jun soldiers in the camp were unprepared and confused.

Although they quickly knew about the enemy's attack and wanted to organize a defense, the prepared ones took advantage of the unprepared ones.

Although there were [-] Liu Jun in this camp, they were still no match for the [-] Yuan Jun. They were killed and retreated steadily.

Other camps are not far from this camp. When they heard the shouts of killing, they were immediately organized by their respective chiefs to come to reinforce them.

General Yuan Jun knew that it would be too late if he didn't leave, so he ordered his subordinates to prevent fire and then evacuated.

Among the six camps, in the main camp in the middle, Ma Teng was waiting for news with a gloomy face.

After half an hour, a soldier finally came over.

"How's it going?"

"About 3000 enemy troops came to attack Zuoying. Seeing our army go to rescue, they have already retreated."

"How much loss did Zuoying have?"

"2000 died, [-] were injured, half of the tents were burned, and food and grass were lost for three days."

Ma Teng waved his hand, and the soldier left the tent.

He knew that the enemy's sneak attack was successful, and he was the main responsibility. He didn't order scouts to scout in the distance, and he didn't send enough soldiers and horses to patrol when camping.

However, he didn't give an order. Didn't the generals of the Zuoying camp know to send soldiers to guard the camp?
After thinking about it, Ma Teng still didn't punish the generals of the left camp.

"Send down an order to allocate [-] tents to the left battalion, and strengthen patrols to go three miles outside."
