Chapter 50: Ambush
Early the next morning, Lu Zhi personally commanded an army of more than 40,000 people, went out of the tiger prison, and directly took the horns of the giant deer. The 40,000-strong army is mighty, but it is also quite imposing.
The army marched all the way, and in two days, the army was already approaching Yecheng. On the way, I also encountered a small group of yellow scarves, no more than 100 people, no less than dozens of people. As soon as he saw Lu Zhi's 40,000 army, he was already frightened and fled, in the end, it was an army composed of a group of poor people, and it was completely vulnerable.
"Yuan Yang, what do you think of this crusade against this horn?" Lu Zhi rode on the snow and turned his head to look at Zhou Fan.
I am not Li Yuanfang, what do you think. Zhou Fan couldn't help complaining, but he also knew that this was Lu Zhi who wanted to take the school and test himself, so he hurriedly said: "The yellow scarf is vulnerable, but it is not so easy to win that corner." ”
"Oh!" Lu Zhi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked with interest, "Let's hear it." ”
"I believe the teacher has seen it before, the yellow scarf fell to the ground is still composed of a group of people, and there is no organization at all. All it takes is a small blow and it will be defeated in an instant. Such an army, even if there are hundreds of thousands, how can it resist the attack of our 40,000 army, so this way to the giant deer must be overwhelming, and no one can stop it. ”
Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, obviously agreeing with Zhou Fan's opinion.
"However, in the end, this yellow turban is full of people, although in terms of field warfare, it is by no means an opponent such as us, but if it is based on the city, there are only 40,000 troops in the teacher's hands, and it is not easy to take that horn." Zhou Fan talked about it.
Suddenly, Lu Zhi's brows tightened. To be honest, when he saw the small strands of yellow scarves before, Lu Zhi knew that these yellow scarves were vulnerable, whether it was the horn or those yellow turban commanders, none of them knew the way to command the army.
Such an army, no matter how large the number is, it is useless, it is only a matter of time to defeat them, and those yellow turbans will bring some trouble to their own army at most.
But now that Zhou Fan mentioned it, he found that it was indeed a bit tricky. That horn has been planning for so long, the reserves must be very sufficient, if he really defends the city and refuses to fight, I am afraid that his 40,000 army is really not what they can do.
You don't have to go straight to the siege. 40,000 troops attacked the city guarded by 200,000 troops, no matter how great his Lu Zhi ability, there was no way, others consumed themselves to death.
"Then Yuanyang, what can you do?" Lu Zhi asked shamelessly.
Suddenly, Zhou Fan's face became bitter, where could he do anything. What I said before, I still relied on my own understanding of history to say it, in history, Lu Zhi was framed before he captured Guangzong, and he was escorted back to Luoyang, and then he waited until Zhang Jiao died of illness, and then he took Guangzong.
But what can I do now, I don't necessarily have to tell Lu Zhi that we wait slowly, that horn is about to die, and some people will believe that he has a ghost.
"Teacher, you better ask Gongda, I can't help it." Zhou Fan did not hesitate to throw this big problem to Xun You.
In an instant, the eyes of Lu Zhi and Zhou Fan all fell on Xun You's body.
Eh, Xun You was stunned, and said helplessly: "You didn't see the situation, and I didn't dare to make a conclusion." However, I think that the key to this battle is not on our side, but on the two of Huangfu Zhonglang and Zhu Zhonglang. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"According to the news I got before, the biggest feature of the yellow scarves, and the biggest weakness, is that they are in their own positions and do not interact with each other!"
Lu Zhi listened, and a light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't interrupt Xun You's words. He is also a master of the art of war, how could he not understand the meaning of Xun You's words.
"Now this yellow scarf is basically divided into three larger camps, one is the north where the three Zhang Jiao brothers are located, with Julu as the center, with about 300,000 troops. However, as Yuan Yang Xiandi said, it is easy to defeat the corner, but it is difficult to capture the corner. ”
In the south, they are the Yingchuan Yellow Turban led by Bo Cai, and the Nanyang Yellow Turban led by Zhang Mancheng. The two waves of yellow scarves together, the number of people is much more than Zhang Jiao's, not to mention some small waves of yellow scarves. Huangfu and Zhu have insufficient soldiers and horses in their hands, and most of them are newly recruited soldiers and lack experience. ”
"If the two Zhonglang will be defeated, then the two Yellow Turbans will definitely attack Luoyang directly, and then our side will have to return to Luoyang, and then the enemy will be in danger. On the contrary, if the two Zhonglang will be able to break the Yingchuan Nanyang Yellow Turban, the morale of our army will definitely be greatly increased, and then they will be able to make peace with our soldiers and other soldiers, and Zhang Jiao can be destroyed. ”
"Okay, well said, what a Xun Gongda!" Lu Zhi laughed and praised. This Xun Yu has a big talk, and he has a new mind.
"Master Lu has won the award!" Xun Yu responded without arrogance or impatience.
Zhou Fan also looked at Xun Yu with a smile. In the end, it is the top strategist, this big statement is not much different from the historical record, of course, the premise is that there is no history of Zhou Fan's intervention.
"Yo!" Thinking of an eagle's cry, the startled Lu Zhi and the others couldn't help but look up, and were suddenly startled, only to see an eagle with a wingspan of six feet towards Zhou Fan, a swooping down.
"Teacher, don't panic, it's my eagle!" Zhou Fan hurriedly explained. If you are misunderstood by your own people and are killed by random arrows, then you will not cry to death.
Skillfully stretched out his right hand, and the golden eagle stopped on Zhou Fan's right arm, fortunately, now Zhou Fan has a stomach on his body, otherwise he would have to change his clothes again.
Lu Zhi looked at this situation, and then he was relieved, no matter who saw this bird of prey flying down, he would also be nervous. But when I think about it, I can't help but wonder. This apprentice is unparalleled in the world, how can he be afraid of an eagle.
However, the next moment, Lu Zhi's old face became stiff, because Zhou Fan's face in front of him instantly became solemn.
"Yuanyang, what happened?"
"Teacher, there is an ambush ahead, and there are quite a few of them!" Zhou Fan raised his head and said with a solemn face.
"Impossible!" Lu Zhi blurted out: "The scout horses sent out earlier have just returned, and there will definitely be no soldiers and horses within fifty miles ahead!" ”
Zhou Fan didn't know the return of the previous team of scouts, but he believed in the Golden Eagle in his hand more. In order to make sure that in case, Zhou Fan had already released the Golden Eagle, and with this natural monitor, no army could avoid its gaze.
"Teacher, this golden eagle was carefully domesticated by me, and it was it that caught Tang Zhou when I caught it, and it will definitely not go wrong. The teacher had better call the scouts and ask! Zhou Fan said firmly.
Lu Zhi looked at it and saw that the terrain ahead was dangerous, and it was indeed a good place to ambush, and he also knew that his disciple was definitely not a person who spoke his mouth. Just in case, someone called the pair of scouts.
