Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

On the second day, Liu Zhang was in Linjin City, beating drums and gathering the generals. Zhang Jie and other vanguard generals all arrived.

He looked at Zhang Jie, "Is the ship ready?"

"Five hundred ships have been prepared."

"Okay!" In more than two months, the boats to cross the river should also be ready.Liu Zhang said again: "After breakfast, the army will cross the river in batches."

The generals took orders and began to dispatch all the troops and horses. The people and horses crossed the river first, followed by the food and equipment.

However, Gan Ning led 2000 people to appear outside Puban County that day. If the enemy did not surrender, he could only cut down trees and make long ladders.

Fortunately, the city of Puban County is not big. Although there is a moat outside the city, it was not very fast. He attacked the city with 2000 people and broke the city in two days.

This was the third battle under Gan Ning's command. Gan Ning's troops entered the city and wiped out the enemy troops.

Sitting in the government office of Puban County, Gan Ning asked around. "How about our casualties?"

The left and right confidantes replied: "Three hundred were killed and five hundred were injured."

Gan Ning was silent for a moment, only then did he realize that the previous two battles were too smooth and there were not many casualties, but the capture of Pu County resulted in so many casualties.

Slight injuries are fine, but after a few days of recuperation, they can continue to fight. It is not easy for those seriously wounded to survive.

It was only then that Gan Ning realized that war was different from having fun with Hakkas. If he failed to command well, many soldiers under his command would be killed or injured.

This siege battle actually made Gan Ning grow a lot.

After Gan Ning captured Puban County, he did not continue to advance. Instead, he ordered someone to notify Zhang Jie and wait for the next order.

After arriving at Pubanjin, the three Sima sent by Zhang Jie did not act without authorization. Instead, they guarded Pubanjin and waited for the main force of the Chinese army to cross the river.

When Liu Zhang's army was crossing the river, the remnants of Puban County fled all the way and finally arrived in Anyi.

Hundreds of years ago, Anyi was the capital of the State of Wei during the Warring States Period, and now it is the seat of Hedong County.

In the entire Hedong County, apart from Jiang County and Yicheng, there is no other big city that can rival Anyi.

In the prefect's mansion in the city, several soldiers rushed to Xu Rong with the news of the remnant army.

When Xu Rong saw the remnant army, he immediately recognized him, "You, you are Xu Fan's confidant, why are you in such a mess?"

"My lord!" Seeing Xu Rong's question, the remnant army immediately collapsed on the ground, weeping, and said, "Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Pubanjin, and General Xu Fan went to rescue him, but he was beheaded by the enemy's vanguard, and the whole army was killed by the enemy." The army is defeated, at this time, at this time"

"How is it now?" Xu Rong looked at the remnant army eagerly.

"Puban County may fall into the hands of Liu Zhang at this time."

"What?" Xu Rong was shocked at first, and then he said angrily, "I am separated from that Liu Zhang by a river, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. Why did he attack me, it is simply unreasonable."

"Hurry up, beat the drum and gather the generals!" Xu Rong is a capable general after all, so he immediately calmed down.

After a stick of incense, all the high-ranking generals in Anyi appeared in front of Xu Rong. Xu Rong's subordinates were all generals, not a single counselor.

"Everyone, I just got the information that Liu Zhang has conquered Pubanjin, and the army is crossing the river. Please tell me how we should deal with it?"

Under Xu Rong's command, there are soldiers from Xiliang, the southern and northern armies in Luoyang, and soldiers recruited from Hedong.

"General, we should take back Pubanjin and drive Liu Zhang back to Guanzhong."

"That's right, you can't lose Pubanjin."

"I'm afraid of his mother, if Liu Zhang dares to come, we will kill him!"

Without exception, all the generals meant the same thing, that is to fight back. As for how to use troops, none of them had any opinion, and everyone said they listened to Xu Rong.

Sure enough, Xu Rong knew that if he asked this group of subordinates, it was tantamount to not asking.

"Pass my military order, all the ministries must gather troops, and I will lead the army to resist!"

This group of generals, as expected, obeyed Xu Rong's military order, and immediately assembled all the troops after they went down.

Xu Rong controls [-] troops, of which only [-] are directly under him, and the other [-] are led by generals under his command.

He commands the generals, and the general commands the soldiers.

At the beginning of November, Liu Zhang's [-] Chinese troops took two days to cross the Yellow River. They immediately rushed to Puban County, and the peasants behind continued to escort food, grass and equipment, cross the river to Pubanjin, and then sent them to Puban County. They are sent to Puban County for hoarding.

Liu Zhang sat in the government office of Puban County, feeling a little high-spirited in his heart. Xu Rong was really unprepared to cross the dangerous Yellow River so easily.

"Xingba," Liu Zhang looked at Gan Ning after he was satisfied.

"Lord!"

"You fought against a young general and a lieutenant in the enemy army, and captured Puban County. Your military exploits are not small. Today, I will reward you with a hundred gold and make you a lieutenant to command 2000 people."

"Thank you, Lord!" Gan Ning was overjoyed, he finally showed himself in front of his colleagues.

Liu Zhang did not neglect Zhang Jie, his old lieutenant, "Zhang Jie, you have done a good job. You are ordered to lead the army and continue to march forward to attack the county and the Yi family. After the capture of Bingzhou, you will be rewarded together."

"Here!" Zhang Jie knew that Gan Ning was braver than himself, so he didn't envy him at all, and now the lord still hasn't forgotten himself, he was very happy in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Jie, Gan Ning and others were able to fight again, everyone geared up and said in unison: "My lord, the last general invites you to fight!"

The morale of the army is available, and Liu Zhang is overjoyed when he sees the performance of the generals.

He thought for a moment, and then said: "Xu Lai and Yan Xing, I order you two to lead an army of [-] to attack Fenyin, Zhao Wei and Zhang Ren, and order you two to lead an army of [-] to attack Hebei and Dayang."

The four were overjoyed and took orders immediately, while the generals who were not selected were somewhat disappointed.

Fenyin is in the northwest of Anyi, Hebei and Dayang counties are in the south of Anyi, especially Dayang is in the south of Anyi, and Jiexian and Yi are in the middle of Anyi and Puban counties. This county can not only ensure the smooth flow of grain roads in the rear, but also implement a three-sided attack on Anyi.

After the three-way army was launched, there were only 5 people left in Liu Zhang's central army, and he left several thousand people in Puban to guard food, grass and equipment. There were only [-] soldiers available.

Zhang Jie led the vanguard army, and after a night's rest, they headed for Jie County.

Xie County is Xie Liang, Guan Yu's hometown, but there are no famous people in Xie County today after Guan Yu left.

If there is no accident, it will not be difficult for Zhang Jie to capture Xie County.

After Zhang Jie's vanguard army moved out, the main force of Liu Zhang's army still stayed in Puban County.

After all, Puban was not far from Xie County. Zhang Jie's ten thousand army, carrying dry food for three days, appeared outside Xie County within two hours.

At this time, Xu Rong had already made preparations. He had ordered 5000 generals to garrison Xie County, and he personally led 5000 people to garrison Yi Clan.

The two counties are only ten miles apart, but there is a river between them. This river is Sushui, a branch of the Yellow River.
