Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wanted to send troops, he still needed to deliberate carefully to decide, and now Jizhou has fallen into a tense period when the war is approaching, and the coalition army launched by the god of war and others has entered Jizhou from the border between Sili and Qingzhou, but their soldiers and horses are obviously much less, only about six or seven hundred thousand, obviously the troops were sniped and consumed on the way, and they have no longer had the grand occasion of a million male soldiers before!

Even so, the arrival of nearly 700,000 troops was tantamount to a shot in the arm for Guo Tu, who led the coalition troops to be stationed in Wei County near Yecheng and began to discuss the dispatch of troops.

On the other hand, the army commanded by Fu Chen is also in Liankeshu City, stationed in Julu at the moment, waiting for Zhang Fan's next order, all the men and horses on both sides are ready to fight, and the battle is about to break out!

Zhang Fan sent the captured troops to the rear, and at the same time transferred a large army to maintain local law and order, but his army source seemed to be stretched, so he only sent thousands of soldiers to garrison some cities, although it was more than enough to maintain law and order in the city, but it was difficult to defend it in the event of an attack.

Calling the three brothers of the Hua family to garrison the Bohai Sea, Zhang Fan led more than 100,000 main forces and began to rush to Julu to meet Fu Chen and others, Julu is closer to Yecheng, Guo Tu will inevitably bear the brunt of the army once he sends troops, so it is the first front line, and it must be held, otherwise the rear will be unstable!

Julu is an intermediate city, but it is much bigger and more majestic than the average intermediate city, as long as it develops a little, it can be promoted to a high-level city, Fu Chen is working hard in this regard, once the level of the city is improved, its defense ability is naturally greatly strengthened, and it can better face the big war.

The two main army corps finally joined forces, but after the battle for days, there were some losses in troops, and now Zhang Fan's main army is only more than 300,000, which is really weak compared to Guo Tu's nearly 2 million army, so he began to mobilize a reserve army from the rear, and now there are 500,000 troops in Bohai City, who can support at any time to help the battle.

In the tense preparations, a sentry finally came to report that Guo Tu's army was attacking from Yecheng, sending more than 1.7 million troops, and the momentum was incomparably huge, marching in the direction of Julu!

"The thieves are so unscrupulous, how should we deal with them?" Zhang Fan asked everyone's opinions.

Tian Feng heard this: "The thieves are menacing, we should take the initiative to attack, frustrate their spirit, and then stand in the city, wait for the reinforcements of the imperial court, and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop!" ”

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up slightly: "Does the military advisor have a plan?" ”

"Your Lord!" Tian Feng hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "The thieves are powerful, they will be unprepared, the lord can send an elite army to ambush on the side of the road, wait for work, and make some gains to raise the prestige of our army!" ”

"Brilliant plan!"

Zhang Fan nodded: "But if you want to ambush, you must have enough mobility, and the foot soldiers can easily fall into the chaos, so you can only send a cavalry team!" ”

Yanyang's Qiang cavalry brigade suffered a lot of losses in the battle, and now there are only about 24,000 people left, while Baima Yicong has more than 3,000 people, adding up to a total of 27,000 cavalry, this is a powerful elite division, fully capable of this battle!

As soon as Zhang Fan's words fell, Pan Feng had already walked out with his big axe: "Lord! The last general is going to fight! ”

As soon as he stood up, Zhou Cang Zhang Jaw and others also asked for battle, this is the first contact battle between the two armies, not only can test the reality of the enemy, but also make the first contribution, the generals are full of blood and fighting spirit!

"The military heart is available!"

Zhang Fan nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to fight anymore, I should personally lead the army in this battle!" ”

After speaking, he commanded again: "Order Zhao Yun to be the general of the unified army, Zhou Cang, Zhang Jaw, and Pan Feng to be the deputy generals, each leading 9,000 cavalry, and attack with me to raise the prestige of our army!" ”

All the generals were overjoyed, leaving only Yan Liangwen and Chou with a little disappointed faces, they were good at leading the infantry, but this time they did not get the opportunity to fight, and they were extremely envious of Zhao Yun and others, but everyone had a division of labor, and they were left to be a helper for Tiebi to assist in guarding the giant deer and resisting the enemy.

Properly distributed, Zhang Fan led the army out of the city, Guo Tu and others sent troops from Yecheng to Julu, they had to pass through Handan, Guangping and Guangzong, and Guangzong City was the closest to Julu, thinking that Guo Tu would definitely choose to camp here, and then attack after resting, Zhang Fan secretly went out of the city at the speed of cavalry, bypassed Guangzong City, came to the intersection of Guangzong and Guangping, and found a secret place to tie down the army, Zhou Cang, Zhang Jaw and Pan Feng were guarded in three directions, Zhang Fan and Zhao Yun and others and Pan Feng all the way, he was really a little worried that Pan Feng would attack recklessly, exposed in advance, this general is brave, but lacks strategy and needs to be tempered.

"My lord, why did we stop here? Isn't it okay to ambush directly between Guangzong and Julu? That way you can advance and retreat, which is beneficial to the army! Pan Feng asked suspiciously, he really couldn't figure out why he went around in such a big circle.

Zhang Fan shook his head and said: "The enemy army is tired from afar, and they will definitely rest in Guangzong City, if they see Guangzong City close in front of them, they will inevitably relax their vigilance, and then we will attack again, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort!" It's not impossible to ambush between Guangzong and Julu, but once they recover their combat strength after resting, we will pay a greater price if we attack again, and it is not advisable! ”

"I see, the lord is really clever, I can't do it!" Pan Feng nodded hurriedly, in awe of Zhang Fan even more, and at the same time secretly made up his mind that he must study the war book and battle strategy, in order to be able to take charge of himself in the future.

Zhang Fan smiled slightly, he was still quite satisfied with Pan Feng, this person's force is definitely not weak, being a pioneer will be the best choice, and he has a straightforward personality, just ask if he doesn't understand, and he can really grow up in the future and become a general!

Guo Tu's army will not come so soon, Zhang Fan ordered the three men and horses to find a secret place to rest, be sure to hide their bodies, do not be discovered, wait for his orders to act, and then he sent a sentry to the front to investigate, as soon as there is a trace of the enemy, he hurried to report, so far the arrangements of a qiē have been in place, just wait for Guo Tu to enter the net!

Under the sun, Zhang Fan stood with his head held high, the golden armor flashed with a terrifying color, this battle was a very critical battle for him, and even for the whole of China.

This battle is a matter of life and death, only victory, not defeat!
