Han counter current

Then, when the battle ahead was in full swing, he led his soldiers and horses to join the elite Youzhou army who had been scattered and hidden on the grassland before.

Then, before the enemy army found out their whereabouts, Pang De led his men to the junction of Hu Qiang's grassland and the pasture of the Huns.

Here, there was originally a hidden valley, and there should be a small military camp in the valley.

At the beginning, Ma Dai had taken a fancy to the terrain and location here, and had agreed with Pang De that in case of accident, he would send someone to station here to facilitate communication.

It's just that Pang De has brought someone here, but the Ma Dai he was looking for is not in this valley.Ma Dai who stayed in Xiliang, and those Xiliang elites, where did they go?

"Keep looking. If we can't find any news within two days, then we will head north. Even if there is no Bo Zhan, I will definitely complete the task of the master's agent."

A resolute and determined expression appeared on Pound's face.This man from Xiliang has never known what it means to give up. In order to win, he will keep moving forward.

The main force of the Huns is now mostly assembled in the front to confront the main force of the Youzhou Army.In the past, although there were small groups of troops who came to the Huns to herd grass to cause rebellion.

However, after Liu Bao led the main force back, these small groups of troops disappeared.

All the Huns turned their attention to the front. No one thought that a man named Pang De from Xiliang had already arrived.

Chapter 422 The Prestige of a Counselor 2

In the Youzhou military camp, teams of soldiers are sweating and training. Formation coordination and martial arts training are their daily subjects.

"If we can win this battle, our army will be able to increase by at least 2 people. In addition, our army will also be able to expand part of the troops."

In the big tent, Chen Feng, Gongsun Xu, and Li Ru are discussing the next plan. All along, there are many factors restricting Chen Feng's development, and military strength is one of them.

Gongsun Xu has more experience in managing soldiers and horses than Chen Feng, so he supports Chen Feng's continued expansion of the army. Right now, they are suffering a lot in terms of military strength in this battle.

"That's right, my lord. I agree with General Gongsun's opinion. Take this opportunity to temper our soldiers and expand our army. Only in this way can we shock the world."

Li Ru worked in the Xiliang Army in his early years, and later went to Hu Qiang to live in seclusion in the grasslands, so he also attached great importance to soldiers and horses.

"As far as the present is concerned, the strength of the lord is no less than Yuan Tan and others, but when it comes to soldiers and horses, even Yuan Tan can't match.

Otherwise, among these people, some of the soldiers under their hands are old, weak and remnant soldiers, but now, we have such an opportunity, why not expand the soldiers and horses. "

In terms of defending the city, guarding the territory, and attacking the enemy, Li Ru supports the expansion of the army. Of course, the expansion of the army cannot be done blindly.

"I have considered this matter for a long time, almost when I first arrived in western Liaoning. In fact, at the beginning, I planned to expand the army."

Chen Feng nodded, he wanted to gain a foothold in troubled times, soldiers and horses were the fundamental, but it was not that simple to expand the army.

"During the days when I first came to Liaoxi, I wished that all the people under my command were sergeants who could fight on horseback. Hehe, in those days, we were almost like robbers.

Later, after I settled down a bit, and with Wen He's explanation, I realized how much logistical pressure we were facing.

It is not a good thing to have too many soldiers and horses. At least, in terms of food and supplies, if you can't keep up, you will be in great trouble. "

The army must be expanded, otherwise, what will Chen Feng use to fight and protect the results of the battle.

"I have a better idea. Reform the military system, improve the treatment of soldiers, and at the same time control the number of troops. Therefore, after this war, I don't plan to expand the army."

Finally, Chen Feng spoke his mind.Expansion of the army, these two words are easy to say, but it is too much trouble to do it.

"Why is this? My lord, we have such strength and opportunity to expand our army, why..."

Gongsun Xu was about to ask, but Li Ru heard Chen Feng's voice.As a counselor, you must be more careful.

"Which group do you think are the most elite soldiers in our army?"

Gongsun Xu and Li Ru glanced at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.Because, this question is not difficult to answer.

"Except for the personal soldiers of the generals, the most elite and the most numerous are of course the Lord's Ghost Face Army.

When the Ghost Face Army was first formed, it was to select elites from various armies. At the same time, whether it was equipment, horses, or food, they were the best and highest in the entire army.

Even, I am sure that the current combat effectiveness of the Ghost Face Army is higher than that of the White Horse Yi Cong, and it is not much worse than Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry today. "

Regarding the quality of the army, Gongsun Xu still knows well.The fighting power of the ghost face army is obvious to all. They have chased and killed grassland cavalry several times more than their own side many times.

The Ghost Face Army, from the day it became an army, had to stand the test of the flames of war at all times. Unless Chen Feng ordered it, no one could relax their vigilance.

In the north, on the grasslands, the reputation of the ghost face army has surpassed that of the Bingzhou Wolf Riders and the White Horse Yicong of Youzhou. This was all achieved by fighting with their hands.

"Yes, Ghost Face Army, this is indeed the most elite unit under my command. I am very lucky to have such a unit.

However, the number of this army is still too small.But it seems unrealistic to continue to expand the army, so what I want to do is to form another elite. "

In Chen Feng's eyes, there was a gleam of light, as if a complete plan had already been formed in his mind.

"Let's talk about this matter later, how to defeat Liu Bao right now.

However, I can remind you first that there is no need to delay the formation of an elite army. My chief executive, you, don't miss it. "

Chen Feng always likes to call Gongsun Xu the chief executive, but there is no way, since he joined Chen Feng until now, Gongsun Xu has solved too many logistical problems and trivial matters for him.

As for actually leading troops in battle, it's not that Gongsun Xu has never done it before, but there are not many opportunities. Most of the time, he does these things part-time.

However, when he heard Chen Feng's words, Gongsun Xu smiled obviously.The meaning of forming an elite that is no less than that of the Ghost Face Army, and that there is an opportunity for him, Gongsun Xu, is too obvious.

"The intelligence from the rear hasn't come in yet, so this is already the best news. If the prairie cavalry didn't make Wenhe's calculations, we should be preparing for the decisive battle right now."

Li Ru was one of the planners and manipulators of this game, so when Chen Feng mentioned the enemy army, he could give a quick answer.

"That's good, then what we have to do now is to defend the camp, train soldiers, and at the same time, harass the enemy's grazing team.

By the way, the rewards for the soldiers must be generous, and their military exploits must be counted properly, even if they are slaves, don't treat them badly.

After Zhong'er and the others come over, we can start the decisive battle. Hehe, Liu Bao, I want you to try what it means to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain. "

A sinister look permeated Chen Feng's face.These days, he has been arranging some elite soldiers to practice formations, in order to gain a greater chance of winning in the decisive battle.

But so far, those soldiers who have been selected have performed well, that is to say, Chen Feng's plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

On the other side, in Liu Bao's camp, the prairie cavalry had more troubles.There is not enough pasture, they have to graze and harvest pasture.

Cattle and sheep lose weight, these prairie warriors can see it all.Therefore, there has been a desire to fight in the army. Only by resolving the war as soon as possible can they go to herd with peace of mind.

"Damn it, why hasn't there been any news yet? Could it be that the [-] elite cavalry can't stir up Chen Feng's rear?"

In his big tent, Liu Bao was roaring like an angry wolf. After roaring for a while, he picked up his concubine and threw him on the bed. Then, he was going to vent his animal desire.

Soon, groans and growls could be heard from inside the big tent, and the guards standing guard outside the tent could only lick their dry tongues again, and then took a few steps forward.

Chapter 423 The Great War Is Coming 1

To the south of the Great Wall, in Youzhou, the prairie cavalry sent by Liu Bao to disturb Youzhou, are now suffering inhuman torture.
