In late October, the north bank of the Great River.

On the morning of that day, the sun was still enough, but the clouds were already obvious. Before noon, as the north wind gradually rose, the weather became gloomy. In this case, more than 20,000 main troops crossed the north of Chiping City in a dignified manner.

Before the large troops arrived, Han Erlang, deputy commander of the garrison, had already noticed something was wrong, and immediately ordered the city to be strictly guarded, and sent messengers to go north to try to send a message to the county magistrate Cao Shancheng.

However, Han Erlang still underestimated the army's determination. Almost as he noticed the strange military order, countless light cavalry appeared in his sight, almost blocking all intersections. Every knight in the city would encounter hunting ten times or even dozens of times the light cavalry when he went out.

Looking down from the city, groups of light riders were running in groups of three or five, driving the smoke and dust of winter fields, just like dozens of invisible hands constantly drawing lines on the Hebei Plain under the city.

But then, as the main force of the army came into view, the previous light cavalry patrol seemed to be a pediatrician again.

Let’s talk about it, after crossing the pontoon bridge and entering Hebei, I don’t know if it is

Intentionally or unintentionally, the troops got rid of the previous leader's marching system on the spot. Instead, at the request of Zhang Xing, the general of Xu Shiying and Liu Zhouchen, and directly followed the Dongjing version of "Six Strategies" to create a decent large-scale marching system.

How effective is it? No one has more say than Han Erlang who was "military parade" in Chiping City. It is not easy for Xu Shiying and others to jump up like monkeys, right?

Looking from the city, in addition to the hundreds of light cavalry that had begun, the remaining main forces were obviously divided into three armies in the front, middle and back (in fact, the Fourth Army, Niu Da led a small army of 2,000 people to cover the flanks further north, but were only covered by smoke and dust). The baggage carts, mules and horses, and civilians were in the middle. It was not only various miscellaneous supplies used to camp and camp rations and fodders that were simply carried for several days, but also the armor, weapons of most soldiers, and even some of them took off their winter clothes.

This is because the marching troops were armored in proportion. Most of the soldiers on the inner layer were empty-clothed, and only the two rows of soldiers walking on the outermost layer were in the so-called armored and held sharp war readiness state.

In addition to blocking the city before and leaving to be avant-garde cavalry, looking around, there are actually many cavalry, which are obviously divided into two categories.

One type is that although there is no armor, the people are extraordinary at first glance.

"Armored Cavalry", they often surround the generals, confusing and protecting one of the costumes, which makes it difficult to raid and behead;

The other type is more of a leather-armored infantry riding horses than cavalry. They only cruised in line with spears or bows and crossbows on both wings, and were not close to the middle infantry formation.

Of course, there is also a third type of cavalry, but even Han Erlang on the city couldn't see clearly. That was the very few military commanders and messengers who were traveling back and forth close to the periphery of the marching queue. Their war horses were bells, and there was a half-red cloak on their backs, and a small leather bag designed by Mr. Zhang San on his waist, which was specially equipped with official documents.

On the top of the city, Deputy Commander Han was dry and looked at him... This was not rhetoric, but the truth, because he had always been interested in learning, while dipping his saliva and writing and drawing on the bricks in front of him, and remembering some things with pictures. He had already done a great job.

At the same time, his subordinates were also stunned.

Just as Han Erlang was immersed in his eyes, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamation in his ears. He looked up quickly, but saw a red-bottomed "demo" flag appearing in his sight. Now, Deputy Chief Han no longer came to the battlefield to learn to march, but just stared at the flag and became stunned.

No, although he is in Hebei, he, who is close to the river, has heard people talk about this flag countless times in the past two years and have also heard stories from countless related personnel. First update @ What many people don’t even know is that before this flag became famous or even appeared, he was actually a participant in the related stories.

"Second brother."

The team leader Zhang Laowu, who was one lap older than Han Erlang, couldn't help but speak. "Isn't the group of people under the city who drove the crows to set fire to Zhang Jinli?"

Han Erlang nodded silently.

This caused uneasiness among a group of subordinate officers and soldiers around him, especially the Boping County and Township Party who followed Han Erlang to the present. Although they achieved success with Han Erlang's outstanding performance that day.

Chapter 115 Wan Chengxing 1

The whole group escaped, but the fire broke out too suddenly, and the way the fire caught a deep impression on them. The saying of the gods and gods has never stopped.

There are really gods in this world.

And according to empiricism, although gods have long since disappeared from central territory like Hebei, the world is in chaos, but it often breaks the convention.

Han Erlang did not stop the noises coming around him.

First, he was still scared of what happened back then. Even though the governor of Cao had explained to him what was going on, he understood it in his heart, but he was still panicked by the bizarre sense of bizarreness brought by the way of cognitive attacks at that time; second, he had already experienced formal low-level military training and survived the chaos in Hebei in the past two years. He had already seen that the army was making great efforts to block the city, including the previous efforts to block the city, which actually meant that the other party was just a transit, and the goal was not his own responsibility. According to the direction, it was not even Qinghe County... In this case, the brothers could be allowed to vent a few words to avoid fear. First update @

In the chaotic times, it is amazing to be able to protect your subordinates. It is also possible to repay the grace of Cao County, who is not killed and is aware of his grace, but the rest are almost the same.

However, as Jun was about to leave the official road in the north of the city, Zhang Laowu next to him suddenly asked again: "Second brother, how many people do you think do you have to have?"

"Twenty or three thousand." Han Erlang answered calmly, but used a vague number. In fact, he counted very clearly, just over twenty thousand, but for some reason, he felt guilty. "It's still easy to count."

"We counted almost the same number, about 30,000." Zhang Laowu hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his own impression. "But why does it look more than Zhang Jinli's 50,000 or 60,000 people?"

Han Erlang was stunned, and wanted to tell the other party that this was a military formation.

It was neatly pulled, and it was stretched long, but after thinking about it, it was

He was silent because he realized that at some point, being honest actually means nothing...and intuitive illusions may not be meaningless.

The 20,000 troops in the army are much stronger than Zhang Jinli’s 50,000 people.

"What a pity."

After passing Chiping, Zhang Xing relaxed a little, and then started chatting with the few people beside him. "Mr. Wei is not here, he only brought a few thousand people across the river there, but he can't walk a thousand miles a day or a tiger like us."

People around you, from Xu Shiying, are very strange. It is easy to understand how to be vibrant, but where do you say it from a thousand miles a day? Moreover, is this a description of walking fast or a momentum of advancing?

Having said that, Xu Dalang still smiled and said, "With the military power, this battle will surely be successful."

"Good words." Zhang Xing blurted out, and then looked around and explained. "To be honest, our army was not all in one row, and the cavalry was too scattered. It was also a hasty attack this time, and there were not many supplies... But I have to say that it is still better than before, because the cavalry can be used in a concentrated manner, and the logistics can be placed in a concentrated manner, and more than 20,000 troops can be moved with one order... Before today, can you think that the number of war horses in our army can actually reach the 71-year-old?"

Everyone then met Shangwei. No matter what they thought, they all smiled on their faces and agreed with them, but they did not dare to discuss in depth.

You should know that the East Realm produces horses, and the horses in Dengzhou are even very famous, otherwise there would not be the hundreds of horses that Cheng Dalang started. Therefore, the army that controls the eight counties in the East Realm does not lack horses.

However, the geographical environment and economic model of the East make horse resources basically scattered among the people, and the advantages and disadvantages are different, which makes most of the horses in the army a logistics pack horse, and makes it difficult to concentrate high-quality war horses... Of course, there is also the factor that Zhang Xing, several leaders and the elites in the gang just said, that is, the strong mountain doomsday obstruction... Therefore, the cavalry of the army cannot be used in a concentrated manner, and the cavalry system is generally a small group attached to the mountain of the big leader.

The usage method and scale are almost the same as the hundreds of riders Cheng Dalang before.

For example, Xu Shiying had more than a hundred armored cavalry guards, and then Guo Jingke had five hundred light cavalry in his hands (actually, Zhang Xing.

Chapter 115 Wan Chengxing 1

I knew it well that this guy kept buying horses from Hebei in the past two years, and there were still hundreds of cavalry hidden in Weinan's father); Dantonghai was similar, but it was not used in centralized use. Basically, he and Xiahou Ningyuan and Liang Jiading each had two or three hundred guards and scouts; Zhang Xing had always been very cold here, otherwise there would not be a saying of a hundred cavalry white-clad knights. If there were thousands of cavalry, why should white-clad rush forward? After defeating Dengzhou, he obtained war horses and weapons, but he got rid of the embarrassing scene before, but it was also only a two hundred cavalry and a six hundred light cavalry rule. The latter was usually scattered in various divisions as scouts. This was the first time that it was used in centralized use, and it was handed over to Wang Xiongdan.

After doing this, Wang Xiongdan and Guo Jingke added together, which was actually nearly a thousand cavalry, so it was no wonder that they had excellent results in performing the *** mission.

Han Erlang, who is studious and has always been lucky, has no choice but to do anything, and it seems to be natural.

Even, this is another angle from why Zhang Xing came to Hebei...

.Using the power of unifying the eight counties before, he brought half of the leaders, elite cultivators, army, weapons, and food to Hebei, facing the new territory and new enemies, these heroes from the East who were helpless could only follow the inertial tradition, follow the inertial tradition, follow the military class and the authority within the gang to hand over everything to the leader to deal with.

I can’t give something I didn’t want to give it before; I can’t be happy if I gave it before; I can’t be happy if I don’t give it before.

As long as Zhang Xing follows the optimal solution, or just uses these resources in a more efficient way than their dispersed use, strive for victory and stabilize the territory, he can lock in the powerful mountain that seemed to be unsolvable in the new world and start everything cleanly.

It is a bit like transferring contradictions to the outside world, and it is also a bit like deliberately evasion, but it is really useful... Throughout history, there are countless examples of success or failure in moving capitals, expeditions, and cracking internal contradictions.

In fact, when things came to the present, especially after that resolution, many people had already come back to the scene and vaguely noticed Zhang Xing's thoughts. Xiong Bonan's expression was one of them.

But just as many people thought it was Li Shu's open conspiracy before, some people can only sigh in their hearts that this was Zhang Xing's open conspiracy.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the two ends of this contradiction, that is, between Zhang Xing and the leaders of the local tyrants from the East Realm, they are actually afraid of fighting the wolf at both ends... Zhang Xing does not have the courage, nor does he dare to solve this problem within the East Realm in this enemy-to-me environment, will others dare?

Aren’t they afraid of Zhang Xing? Aren’t they afraid of the imperial court coming to suppress it? Aren’t they afraid of the Huaiyou Alliance taking advantage of the situation?

Everyone knows that if you want to stay in the East and the families of these leaders to resolve this conflict, you will definitely need to use swords and guns, bleed, and even civil war.

In the past two years, people outside said that they could help the right time, place and people. Many people jumped up and got the earth's energy first, and they had the shape of turning into dragons.

But everyone knows that among them, the person who has the highest leap, the greatest transformation, and the most powerful is called Zhang Xing.

This guy is now all over the former master Bai Sanniang!

The army rumbled forward, leaning on the cooked grain prepared in advance, marched for a long time a day, and arrived at the border between Qinghe County and Pingyuan County on the evening of the same day, and camped here.

Compared with the plan that Zhang Xing had previously claimed, this camp site was actually a little far from the target area. _o_m At the same time, according to the early ambush, the official army did not unexpectedly, but entered the preset location tonight, that is, between Ende and the plains, and then camped early, but it was slightly northerly than expected.

At this time, it can still be said that the army's raid was successful, and the original plan could be continued to a considerable extent, that is, to attack early the next morning, and to attack the enemy directly from behind.

However, the slightly farther distance between the two sides still left a flaw. Zhang Xing and the leader of the army began to worry that the 10,000 troops in the Hejian camp might get news in time, go north overnight, or seek asylum to enter Ande.

That would be really troublesome.

How to say it? There is no plan in the world that cannot be flawed. This is not the time to blame others, so we can only make quick remedies.

"Wu Dalang, Wu Erlang, please let me go to Ande City and don't enter the city, either.

Chapter 115 Wan Chengxing 1

Don’t disturb the military camp on the road, just patrol and control the area south and west of the city, try to cut off the connection between the official army of the Hejian camp and Ande City. Midnight is the limit, and then you don’t have to worry about it and you can withdraw it directly." Zhang Xing immediately looked at the two temporary helpers accompanying him.

Wu Changzai frowned slightly, but Wu Jingfeng immediately agreed. He had known where the biggest hidden danger of his attack was: "Don't worry, Zhang Sanlang, I'll go now, don't worry about Erlang making trouble. I will naturally look at him and not let him mislead the matter!"

Wu Changzai, who was like a giant, dared not say anything, but could only turn his head away, but was grabbed by Wu Jingfeng, who was quite excited, and dragged it out of the camp that was ready to stand in the way but had not yet been built.

"Chief Xiahou." Zhang Xing watched two yellow lights disappear when Zhang Xing watched as the two yellow lights disappeared.

In the evening glow, he looked at another leader again. "Wang, the two leaders Guo and the light cavalry they led were very tired these two days and needed rest. You and Jia Runfu took five hundred cavalry and set off again when it was dark... Let's go farther and monitor the movements of the Hejian camp and Pingyuan City. As long as they did not cross Pingyuan City to reconnaise us, they would ignore it. If they had no choice, they would disturb the other party and try their best to deal with it. If it was dark, they would also mislead those people and make them think that we were the Hebei rebels."

Xiahou Ningyuan and Jia Runfu immediately surrendered.

Zhang Xing thought about it and immediately added: "Captain Guo should go together... You are from Hebei and are familiar with geography..."

Guo Jingke wanted to agree.

"I'll go." At this moment, Jia Yue suddenly spoke, and it was rare to volunteer. "Captain Guo is more familiar with several counties in the west, but I am familiar with this place."

Zhang Xing was slightly stunned and immediately woke up: "Okay, you can go for Leader Guo... As the same thing, there is no need to be too greedy. If you stay until midnight, the other party will still hold the troops and retreat, so that you can calmly participate in tomorrow's war."

Jia Yue immediately bowed his head.

Everyone came out one after another. According to someone's six-point victory, Zhang Xing should have been at ease, but unexpectedly, he was obviously a little restless.

Seeing this, Xu Shiying took the lead in persuading: "Third Brother, we have done a great job. The remaining little things about God's will have nothing to do with us. Besides, I don't think the government army can open the eyes of the sky this time, and can make a decision at night to escape from heaven."

"Xu Dalang is thinking too much. Of course, I know that there is no need to thank you for this punch. I am just worried that Mr. Wei and others will arrive in time tomorrow. There is still the King of Heaven to send a letter of war and never return." Zhang Xing nodded and smiled.

After saying that, he waved his hand and told the leaders to return to the camp. He took off his armor and threw away his winter clothes to help the soldiers on the side build the camp. _o_m
