Chapter 343: Arrangements for Battle

Zhao Feng's face was straight: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" ”

Everyone in the hall walked to the center of the hall and arched their hands: "The last general's 'subordinates' are here!" ”

Zhao Feng nodded: "Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao, Guan Qi and others, you jointly led 1,500 troops, escorted all the grain, baggage convoys and all the people, and went to Juan County in the northeast. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"After arriving in Juan County, don't go through Yuanwu, just take a detour to sour dates."

This detachment, since he participated in the war against Dong, has never been on the battlefield, so there has been no attrition at all.

The purpose of the detour is simply to change the previous transport road.

Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao, Guan Qi and others arched their hands: "Take the order!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao, Guan Qi and other seven people turned around and withdrew from the conference hall.

Wait for some people to leave.

Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "In order not to affect the speed of the march. ”

"The grain needed this time was carried by three thousand war horses, each of which carried four stones."

Then he waved his hand: "You all go down and get a little ready." ”

"Let's go!"

Zhang Liao arched his hand, and stopped talking.

When Zhao Feng saw it, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. ”

"I know everyone's subordinates, basically all of them are recruits."

"So we will definitely not fight hard with Dong Zhuojun."

"Go ahead!"

Everyone bowed their hands: "The last general's 'subordinates' will receive the order!" ”

After speaking, the people in the hall withdrew from the conference hall one after another.

Zhao Feng also walked out of the conference hall with everyone.

In this operation, Zhao Feng sent a total of more than 14,000 troops.

Zhao Feng originally had more than 7,000 people, including more than 1,600 wounded soldiers, and after a month and a half of cultivation, except for more than 500 people who were disabled and could not go to the battlefield again, the remaining more than 1,000 people had basically recovered their establishment.

Among them, 3,000 recruits were sent by Yuan Shao and trained by Zhang Liao for a month.

The remaining 4,500 recruits were all newly recruited by Zhang Wu and Zhou Cang, and they had not trained much at all.

When these people go to the battlefield, they are completely sent to die.

Among them, Zhang Wu and others recruited 3,000 recruits in Dongjun, which was much higher than Zhao Feng's expectations.

Zhou Cang and others recruited troops in Chenliu, and only recruited more than 1,500 recruits.

Because Cao Cao later returned to Chenliu, he also began to recruit a large number of soldiers. More than 2,000 people were recruited from Chenliu.

Therefore, Zhou Cang only recruited more than 1,500 people, and Zhao Feng didn't say much.

Compared with Zhou Cang and Cao Cao, they are not competitive at all.

Just like Cao Cao recruited troops in Yangzhou, it took more than four months to recruit more than 10,000 people, and in Chen Liu, he recruited more than 2,000 people in half a month.

First, Yangzhou's population is relatively small.

Second, Cao Cao is not very high in Yangzhou, in terms of prestige.

Third, Cao Cao was unable to recruit troops in Yangzhou.

If it had been changed a year ago, Cao Cao had recruited in Chenliu for half a month, and he would definitely have been able to recruit more than 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhao Feng recruited troops privately this time, plus the soldiers sent by Yuan Shao, which were just like the soldiers and horses when Zhao Feng first joined the coalition army.

It can be seen how tragic Zhao Feng's previous battle with Xu Rong was in Aocang.

Zhao Feng defended the city and lost more than fifty percent of the casualties, plus the wounded, more than seventy percent!

Not to mention Xu Rongjun.

This expedition was prepared for a long time.

So it only took a quarter of an hour for everyone to assemble outside the South City Gate.

Zhao Feng, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei were the last to leave the city.

This time, the establishment of soldiers and horses has been slightly revised.

Among them, Zhao Yun added more than 500 cavalry, which just made up the establishment of another department, 1,500 cavalry.

But Zhao Yun has not yet been officially appointed, but everyone knows it.

Zhao Feng's personal guards also increased, of which the cavalry was still 1,500 cavalry, but Dian Wei was assigned by Zhao Feng to lead the troops alone and lead 1,000 infantry.

Although Dian Wei is still a military marquis, and his official position has not changed, everyone also knows that sooner or later he will be promoted to become Sima.

The rest, such as Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, Tian Feng and others, are still in the same establishment.

Zhao Feng, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, after leaving the city, did not stop and continued to move forward.

After Zhao Feng and the others also left the city, Tian Feng consciously led his troops to follow Zhao Feng.

followed by Zhang Wu, Zhou Cang, Huang Shao, and Zhang Liao led the troops to the rear of the palace.

Along the way, Zhao Yundu sent sentinels to explore the way, and there was no ox cart to slow down, about an hour and a half later.

Zhao Feng led his troops to twenty miles east of Xingyang, and to the east was Jiranshui.

Thirty miles to the east is Longcheng, a small county town with a population of no more than 5,000 people.

There is no county order in Longcheng, and the highest official position is only the post of county magistrate.

The reason why Zhao Feng chose this place was because the coalition forces wanted to break through, and they must also break through to the rear to the east.

And there is another river here, as long as the coalition forces can break through here, Zhao Feng can help.

If you really ask Zhao Feng to go up and fight hard with Dong Zhuojun, Zhao Feng will definitely not do it.

After arriving at the destination, Zhao Feng opened the detailed military map near Xingyang and looked at it for a while.

Then he turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Zhao Yun, send a large number of sentry riders to investigate the situation near Xingyang." ”

"In terms of time, the coalition forces should have broken through."

"If the coalition forces succeed in breaking through, ask the sentinel to tell the coalition forces that we are here to respond!"

There is a section of road on this side, and there are mountains and forests on both sides, although it is not the best place for ambushes, but if the troops are right, it is still possible to ambush the ambushers.

If Zhao Feng does not send someone to inform the coalition forces, the coalition forces will not necessarily take this road.

Zhao Yun arched his hand: "Huh! ”

When he had finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and rode away.

Zhao Yun just left.

Zhao Feng said to Tian Feng: "Tian Feng, you take your headquarters and carry a large number of sheng flags here." ”

After that, he pointed to the map.

It was the only road the coalition forces had withdrawn from, and it was surrounded by mountains and forests.

Tian Feng looked at the terrain and knew Zhao Feng's purpose as soon as he heard what Zhao Feng wanted to prepare by himself.

smiled: "Suspicious tactics, I'm good at this." ”

"I'll do it!"

With that, he rode away to his own tribe.

If you don't use the tactics of suspicious soldiers, maybe Dong Zhuojun will send someone over to ambush.

Wait for Tian Feng to leave.

Zhao Feng looked at Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, you immediately lead your troops across the river, cut down trees, and build a pontoon bridge from the other side of the river." ”

Zhou Cangyi arched his hand: "Huh! ”

After saying that, he immediately rode his horse and left his own tribe.

Zhou Cang left.

Zhao Feng said to Zhang Wu: "Zhang Wu, you lead the troops to cut down trees here, and start to build a pontoon bridge from this side. ”

Zhang Wuyi arched his hand: "Huh." ”

After saying this, he turned his horse's head and rode away.

It's winter, the river isn't deep, and the pontoon bridge is easy to build.

Zhao Feng looked at Huang Shao: "Huang Shao, you lead your troops here." ”

With that, he pointed to the map.

This is the place where Tian Feng is going to use the suspicious strategy, but it is at the end.

"After I went, I prepared a large number of rolling rocks and trees, and when the coalition troops withdrew, they directly blocked the road."

Huang Shao arched his hand: "Huh! ”

After saying that, he rode his horse in the direction of his own tribe and departed.
