I’m The King Chapter 906: :Huanghuang Hanwei (Thirty-one)

It's not that Lu Chao is not annoyed, but he understands better that Ben Kuan's subordinates are already the most capable army under his command, otherwise he would not have transferred them here. I have paid attention to it, but obviously, I still don't pay enough attention to it.

"Youth Guards!" He murmured, "How many troops like this are there in the Eastern Conqueror Army?"

What he looked at was a man in the corner of the tent who was not wearing a military uniform.

"Reporting to the general, the Eastern Expedition Army has expanded rapidly in the past two years, and most of the old foundations of the past have been enriched in various ministries, which has reduced their overall combat power. All the officers were recruited from the former old army, and all the grassroots officers were graduates from a military university called Jishicheng in Jishicheng. The ordinary soldiers of this army came from the base of Zhengdongfu In western Liaoning, Jishi City, and Hejian County, there are not only Yan people in the army, but also people of other races, but they all have one condition, that is, they have lived in the area ruled by the East Army for three years, but they have permanent property in these places. People who are not the only son of the family can be selected. They are Gao Yuan's relatives, and their high-level officers are mainly from Gao Yuan's former relatives, the red guards, like the commander of the First Division of the Young Guards who fought against us today. His surname is Yang, and his name is Yang Da Stupid."

"Yang Dasha, do you still have such a name?" Lu Chao frowned.

"Great general, this is just his nickname. This man fights, and he is famous for his lifelessness, so he is called Dasha, but his real name is unknown. The one who broke the furthest from my formation today is the third one." Battalion and the third battalion, the battalion commanders are Mei Hua and Wu Ya, both from red guards." The middle-aged man said.

"How many such troops are there?" Lu Chao asked the question he was most concerned about.

"General Hui, the Young Guards Army has four divisions in total. The organization of these four divisions is quite different from that of other troops of the Eastern Expedition Army. The divisions directly set up battalions, eliminating the need for regiments. We are fighting the first division."

"Four divisions?" Lu Chao raised his voice slightly: "Are they all as powerful as the first division?"

"Yes!" The man whispered: "According to the information collected by our Black Ice Terrace, these four divisions are divided into two cavalry divisions and two infantry divisions. Once fought in Donghu, they repeatedly defeated Donghu cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of the two infantry divisions was similar. The first division was slightly stronger."

Hearing the man's reply, many Qin generals in the tent were stunned for a moment. Fortunately, only one division came. If all four divisions arrive together, this battle will be difficult to fight.

"General, what shall we do next?" Gongsunying asked in a low voice.

"Unless we receive orders from Xianyang, this battle must continue!" Lu Chao rubbed his temples, "Our main force here is less than 10,000 people, and even Ben Kuan can't take advantage of it." , other armies go out to battle, they can only add merit to their opponents.”

"Why don't you transfer the main force from Xintian?" Gongsunying suggested.

"Stupid!" Lu Chao scolded his father-in-law unceremoniously. "This is only our secondary battlefield. Your Majesty has other plans. Our main energy should be put on the Wei people now, unless Your Majesty has made up his mind to take the Yan Kingdom, so that he can use his strength.”

"The lower officials are confused!" Gongsun Ying stepped back.

"At the moment we are short of troops, since fighting hard against the enemy won't bring us any benefits, then let's focus on defense, Young Guards, hey, field battles are really good, but how about siege skills?" Lu Chao He sneered and said, "Which Chinese army is the opponent attacking Jinyinfeng and Wulingfeng today?"

"Returning to the general, the general commanded by the other party is Kong Fang, the son of Kong De, but they returned in defeat."

"Very well, Jinyinfeng and Wulingfeng must be guarded, and there must be no loss. With these two peaks, it is impossible for the opponent to win Mashaping." Lu Chao laughed. If you lose a lot of manpower in the middle of the battle, you can get it back doubled in the defensive battle."

"Obey!" The generals bowed to accept the order.

Lu Chao made up his mind to defend the city and use the city walls to consume the soldiers of the East Conquering Army. At this moment, in the camp of the East Conquest Army more than ten miles away from the Mashaping Canyon, Kong Fang knelt down on the ground with a face full of shame. In the tent, he led the army to attack the left and right peaks of Mashaping, but he did not make any achievements, and suffered heavy casualties but gained nothing.

"Commander, the two peaks are steep, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Our army can't hide. The opponent has set up countless traps in the snow. Before they approach the main peak, they have already suffered heavy casualties. The general will be incompetent. Please punish me, Commander!" Kong Fang put his hands on the ground, feeling very ashamed, especially today the First Division of the Young Guards showed great power in the field, killing and injuring thousands of opponents, but his own journey was a ruin.

Ye Zhong lifted his chin slightly, and Yang Dasha who was sitting below his head gave a silly smile, walked over and supported Kong Fang with both hands, "General Kong, in a war, there is no reason for victory, attacking an enemy in this kind of terrain , We were at a disadvantage in the first place, although you did not take down the two peaks, but you also figured out the enemy's military equipment and the route up the mountain. /

"Kong Fang, get up, Commander Yang is right, as long as the loss is not in vain, you can get something. By the way, who are the enemy generals defending Jinyin Peak and Wuling Peak?"

When mentioning the enemy's defending general, Kong Fang's face suddenly revealed a look of extreme resentment, "Commander, the one defending Jinyinfeng is Dayan's traitor, Zhou Yu."

"Zhou Yu?" Ye Zhen and Yang Dasha were shocked at the same time. This is a big man, how did he become a guy who guards the mountain now?

"He surrendered to the Qin army, what good will he do!" Kong Fang said fiercely. "I will definitely capture Jinyinfeng, and use Zhou Yu's head to pay homage to my father."

Ye Zhen frowned, "Kong Fang, after you discovered this, you attacked Jinyinfeng desperately. Most of your losses came from this, right?"

Kong Fang lowered his head, "The commander's eyes are like a torch, but when I heard that this person was guarding the Jinyin Peak, I couldn't beat him."

"Confused." Ye Zhen snorted, "Who is Zhou Yu? When one hundred thousand Yan troops were trapped in the East Hu, this person was able to lead more than 20,000 people to break out. How can he be easy to deal with? This humanistic and military strategy is the best choice. You should have been more careful when you found out that it was him. Kong Fang, I told you before the battle, don’t let hatred blind your eyes. You must be clear, you are now the commander of an army in the East Conquest Army, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under you are in your hands, you are hot-headed, but you are giving away the lives of ordinary soldiers."

"I will be convicted at the end!"

"Kong Fang, our soldiers are not afraid of death, but they must die worthy and worthwhile. This is what the governor has always taught us. One soldier is raging, and the general is raging."

"I don't know what's wrong!"

"Reflect on yourself, stop attacking the two peaks for now." Ye Zhen snorted coldly and said.

Yang Dasha walked up to Ye Zhen, "Commander, I reckon that today's battle will definitely scare the people of Qin, and they may not come out to fight us, but if we want to attack the city, we must Take down the mountains on both sides, otherwise when we attack, they will harass them endlessly from the mountains on both sides, which is unbearable.”

"It's natural to fight well." Ye Zhen murmured, "Let me deal with Zhou Yu on the gold and silver front. Where is Wuling Peak?"

Mu Gulu on one side suddenly stood up, "Commander, leave Wuling Peak to the last general."

"General Mugulu?" Ye Zhen's eyes widened, "This Wuling Peak can't gallop on horseback!"

Mu Gulu smiled and said: "Commander, when I returned from Hetao, I had nothing. At that time, I also drilled ravines, walked through dense forests, fought bandits with General Niu Teng, and collected refugees. Our area, The forest is much larger than here, the mountains are much higher, the snow is much thicker, and it is much colder, but in the past two years there, we have found countless bandit dens, blocked them in the stockade, and killed them if they did not surrender. In the past two years, I have learned a lot from General Niu Teng."

"Niu Teng?" Ye Zhen said in a low voice, of course he knows this person, he is a good soldier of the original Yan Lingwei who followed the third wife to join the Eastern Army!

"How many people do you need?"

"I don't need many people, but I need the cooperation of General Kong Fang." Mu Gulu turned his head and looked at Kong Fang with a smile, "There are quite a few such experts in my department. I am used to doing this between black mountains and white waters, and I can organize four or five hundred people to come, but it is obviously impossible to take down Wuling Peak with this amount of manpower. We are creating chaos, so how about asking General Kong to follow up?"

"The last general is willing to cooperate with General Mu Gulu." Kong Fang said immediately.

"Okay, then this battle will be dominated by General Mugulu, Kong Fang, you will follow the arrangements of General Mugulu!" Ye Zhen said. "Master Yang, while I am attacking Jinyinfeng, I will be in charge here. "

"Yes!" Yang Dasha nodded.

"Don't worry about anything else, you must pay attention to the opponent's cavalry. According to the information obtained by our spies, Qin Wangshizi Yingying led the cavalry to serve under Lu Chao. This person once led tens of thousands of cavalry on the grassland. He chased the court of the Xiongnu king and killed the Hun king. He is very skilled in cavalry combat and must not underestimate the enemy. We are not more than ten miles away from Mashaping, and the cavalry will arrive in no time."

"Commander Ye, don't worry, with our Donghu independent division here, he can come and go without discipline!" Agu Wynn stood up and said proudly, "We are not the Huns!"

Ye Zhen smiled. If He Lanxiong heard what A Gu Huai'en said, he would jump up and curse. It is also conducive to Zhengdong Mansion's control over them.

Only one day after the last battle, the Zhengdong Army came to the Mashaping Canyon again. The first division of the Young Guards shouted loudly under the city, but the Qin army in the city turned a deaf ear to it and ignored it. After making a fuss for a long time, the Zhengdong Army did not launch the siege immediately as Lu Chao wished. Instead, they slowly started to build a snow platform from a long distance away.

People in Qin believed that the Zhengdong Army had never fought against a city, and they were not familiar with this kind of fortified battle. It has made great progress, and in Jishicheng Military University, there are special subjects for studying siege and defense. All kinds of unimaginable tactics, where can get the soil for experimentation. I am not afraid that your ideas may be wrong , just in case you have no idea, this is Gao Yuan's request to all the instructors who study killing tactics at Jishicheng Military University.
