Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Chapter 33 Annihilation of Dong Cheng's reinforcements

The sun rose and it was getting brighter.

Liu Zhang, who couldn't sleep, got up from the couch, and after a simple wash, he was going to go out for a walk in the military tent and exercise his body.

But as soon as he stepped out of the military tent, he was alone from outside.

That man was a scout sent out, and he came straight to the commander's tent. When he saw Liu Zhang, he immediately bowed and said, "My lord, I found an army twenty miles southwest of Huaili County, the number of which is about 200."

"Huh?" Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "Follow me!"

He turned and entered the military tent, and the scout followed suit.

Liu Zhang came to the side of a map hung in the military tent, and said to the scout order, "Show me, where are they?"

The scout immediately approached quickly, looked at the map, tapped carefully, and after dozens of breaths, he pointed to a location near Huaili County.

Liu Zhang took a closer look and understood.

There, it was Wugong County.

These 200 people should be soldiers from Wugong County. It seems that they came to reinforce Huaili.

Liu Zhang carefully looked at the map. You Fufeng County governed the next fifteen counties, which were vast in size and sparsely populated.

These two counties are the mausoleums of the emperors of the Han Dynasty. The two counties are sparsely populated, but they are also very close to Huaili.

According to the distance, they could have arrived yesterday, but today they did not find any reinforcements in their direction, which could only mean that their own army was on their side, and they did not dare to send troops.

Each county has only such a small force, and they will definitely be intercepted and killed by themselves, so they simply don't send reinforcements.

Of course, it is also possible that the county magistrates of these two counties felt that Dong Cheng could not resist him and planned to die.

Anyway, as long as they kill Dong Cheng by themselves, they can continue to live as long as they present a surrender table.

Liu Zhang stared at the map for a cup of tea, and then heard a sound from outside the military tent.

"Report!"

Without turning his head, he replied loudly, "Come in!"

From outside the army tent, another scout walked in quickly. When he saw Liu Zhang beside the map, he immediately bowed and said, "My lord, I found an army twenty miles west of Huaili. The number of people is about 400."

Liu Zhang immediately looked at the map, pointed to Huaili City with his finger on the map, and then gently stroked westward.

Huaili is twenty miles west, coming from Meiyang County.

No, it should not be just the defenders of Meiyang County. It is impossible for a Meiyang County to have so many defenders. It should be that the defenders of farther counties gather together and come to reinforce them.

Liu Zhang's guess is actually true.

The remaining fourteen counties in Huaili County have a combined military strength of only 140, and an average of [-] troops per county.

This should be the strength of three counties.

It seems that Dong Cheng issued a military order to the whole of Youfufeng, asking all the counties to come for reinforcements.

Hmph, what a beautiful idea.

However, I can't do what you want.

For a moment, Liu Zhang thought of a very good tactic, and this tactic is also very classic, and it is difficult for the opponent to avoid.

Twenty miles outside the city.

Liu Zhang thought about it, and the distance between his camp and these two armies was based on their marching speed and his own.

A small army of a few hundred people did not carry much baggage, so their marching speed was not slow, and the distance of twenty miles should reach Huaili in a little more than an hour.

It will take some time for the scouts to return on horseback. If they delay, they may enter the city.

"Send an order to summon Liu Chang and Han Bing to come here immediately!"

The personal guards of the military tent set off immediately to deliver the order. ,

After a while, Liu Chang and Han Bing rushed over.

"Lord!"

"Don't be too polite," Liu Zhang pointed to the two scouts in the tent, "The two of them came to report that there was an enemy army twenty miles southwest and twenty miles west of Huaili County, 200 people from the southwest and 400 people from the west. The two of you each bring five hundred cavalry, go and kill them immediately, there is no time for breakfast, kill them and have breakfast when you return to the camp!"

Liu Chang and Han Bing didn't have any dissatisfaction, but thought of an allusion. They looked at each other and responded excitedly: "Destroy this imperial food!"

After speaking, the two immediately left Liu Zhang's tent, went down to gather cavalry, and left the camp within a quarter of an hour.

When the cavalry did not carry luggage, their marching speed was three to five times that of the infantry. They each had scouts to lead the way, and soon two armies were found on the official road.

Sure enough, these two armies were Dong Cheng's reinforcements, all of them were infantry and no cavalry.

Liu Chang and Han Bing, after asking about the situation, immediately ordered an attack.

Under the wilderness, the infantry met the cavalry, and there were not many people, so there was no suspense.

These two armies collapsed after only resisting the time of a cup of tea.

They turned around and ran away, which was the stupidest thing they ever did.

In the wilderness, the infantry fled, how could they escape in front of the cavalry.

If they form a formation to resist, they can still live for a while, and escaping like this will only make them die faster.

600 of them were wiped out.

Liu Chang and Han Bing returned to the camp an hour and a half after leaving the camp.

This hour and a half included them going back and forth, fighting and cleaning the battlefield.

When they returned to the camp, Liu Zhang was still waiting inside.

Liu Chang and Han Bing came to return to their orders, and the thousand cavalry who had set off for the expedition disbanded in the camp, and then went to have breakfast.

"Report, Liu Chang (Han Bing) is back to report!" Entering the military tent, the two immediately shouted loudly when they saw Liu Zhang and the rest of the generals.

"Looking at the faces of the two generals, they must have completely wiped out the enemy!" Liu Zhang laughed.

"Your Majesty, you are really predictable. The two of us wiped out 600 enemy soldiers, killed 17, and wounded [-]. We captured [-] swords, [-] spears, and [-] bows and arrows!"

Liu Chang couldn't hide his joy, and replied excitedly.

"Good!" Liu Zhang said loudly.

He looked at the two approvingly, "This is not a small achievement. You Fufeng only has a population of 9, and the defenders will not exceed [-] at most. Today they lost [-]. We are one step closer to victory."

Liu Zhang continued to encourage Liu Chang and Han Bing, and then shouted, "Where is the master book?"

"The minister is here!" A scribe stood up immediately.

"In the merit book, write down the merits of the two generals, and when they return to Chang'an, they will be rewarded together!"

"Here!"

After the chief secretary responded, he stepped aside and took out a pen and a roll of bamboo slips, and wrote down the credits of the two of them.

On a certain day in a certain year, Liu Chang and Han Bing respectively led 200 cavalry to attack the enemy army outside the city. Liu Chang wiped out 400 people, Han Bing wiped out [-] people, and seized [-] weapons.
The master record is very detailed, because it was requested by Liu Zhang. Every time a general is promoted, he not only depends on his ability, but also depends on his merit.

This credit, as much as it is established, is as much as it is.

Not more, not less.
