Chapter 246: Cannon Fodder

More than a hundred miles away from the Jing'an camp, there is another Yan army camp composed of Jiang Dawei's troops in Yuyang County. The 20,000 Yan Kingdom standing army led by Zhou Yu was hidden in Jiang Dawei's camp, and no other camp was established. A few miles away from this large camp, there is another battalion of Yan troops guarding the left flank, and this smaller camp is where the Gaoyuan Fufeng soldiers are located.

In this battalion, the local troops gathered from various counties of Yan State were stationed. Dozens of local counties each sent 300 to 500 local troops to escort the food and grass. Jiang Dawei also dispatched a member to be in charge of commanding this temporarily assembled army of more than 20,000 people.

"It's purely a mob, such an army can fight!" Yan Haibo shouted angrily in Gao Yuan's tent. "I'm afraid that if there is a war, these people will collapse immediately, county captain, we will be dragged down by them .”

While speaking, there was a huge commotion from outside, mixed with whistles, screams, and chaotic footsteps, and everyone in the tent frowned. They were all used to the strict and disciplined military camp, and suddenly , I am not used to being in such a chaotic military camp like a street market.

"That's right, county lieutenant, soldiers from dozens of counties, and tens of thousands of people gathered together, but I think General Guo, who was sent to command from above, has not been reassigned to the command, and secondly, he has not deployed a combat plan. He is like herding sheep Throw us all here, this is not a problem!" The infantry sighed: "When it comes to fighting, the generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, they don't belong to each other, and they are ordered to go out. This is self-defeating, and there is no need to fight. , we've already lost."

Naha stroked the stubble beard on his chin, it hadn't been shaved for a few days, and the beard was springing up densely like mushrooms after a spring rain." County lieutenant, we have to think of a way, we can fight to the death, but You can't be dragged to death like this! Didn't you say that you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs? Don't we have a group of friends who are like pigs? It seems to be chirping, I'm afraid I don't even know that my death is imminent!"

"These guys have never fought at all. They know the dangers on the battlefield. I'm afraid they think that fighting is similar to street fights. Then they will swarm up with knives and guns!" Yan Haibo sneered, waving his hands around his ears , as if to drive away the chaotic noise outside.

Gao Yuan sat there quietly. In his hand, a small knife as thin as a cicada's wings was flying between his fingers. The speed of the rotation was so fast that in the eyes of several generals, there seemed to be a knife between Gao Yuan's fingers. The white light was lingering. Listening to the discussion of his subordinates, Gao Yuan smiled coldly, "As expected, have you noticed the choice of our camp location?"

Naha thought for a moment, "County Captain, it seems that our camp is several miles higher than the main camp."

"Naha has made progress!" Gao Yuan smiled and praised, "It's not obvious before, I didn't expect you to notice it!"

Naha grinned, "I haven't made much progress along the way, but I've become more and more knowledgeable about the choice of camping sites."

"Do you know what it means for our camp to advance?" Gao Yuan smiled.

"It means..." Naha thought for a while, his face changed a little, and he couldn't smile anymore.

"This means that when Zhao Jun launches an attack, we will be the first to bear the brunt. Zhao Jun's first choice of attack point must be our place, break through, defeat us, wipe out the flank threat, and advance to threaten the camp , and on the other hand, if the Zhao army can't take us down, then the main battalion can take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit." Gao Yuan said slowly.

"God!" Yan Haibo exclaimed, "If Zhao Jun came to fight, how could the mob here be our opponents? I reckon that if the other party charged down, we would be the only ones left here. How do we fight this battle? ?”

"Even if we fall, there is no loss to the main camp. They are nothing more than a head-to-head battle with the opponent. Now Jiang Dawei is full of confidence, Xiao Yanzi, we were sent here to die. 20,000 There are many people, no matter what Zhao Jun does, he will have to spend a lot of time. Even if it is counted as 20,000 pigs, it will be difficult to kill, isn't it?" Gao Yuan sneered.

"County lieutenant, if the 20,000 people flee without a fight and head towards Jiang Dawei's main battalion, won't he be afraid of being thrown into disarray?" the infantry muttered.

"Jiang Dawei is not a fool. What's more, Zhou Yu is a veteran general. Is there any reason why he doesn't understand? I reckon that there must be other arrangements between us and the main battalion."

"What arrangement?"

"For example, the Supervising Team!" Gao Yuan laughed. "Or, Jiang Dage simply wanted to take this opportunity to kill me, and fight Zhao Jun. If he lost, he would die. If he fled back, wouldn't that be a military punishment? what?"

"You son of a bitch, you treat important military and state affairs as your personal weapon. Jiang Dawei should be killed." Yan Haibo said with hatred.

"County Captain, what should we do now? We can't just sit back and watch the loss, right?" Naha asked.

"Of course not!" Gao Yuan looked at the crowd, "If the opponent is Zhao's standing army, we may not be able to stop it, but if it is only Zhao Qi's private army, then there is still a chance. After the war, as long as we can stand The opponent's attack is here like a needle shaking the sea, Jiang Dawei may ignore it, but Zhou Yu will definitely not let go of this opportunity, as long as he comes out, it is enough."

"But we have too few people!" The infantryman was a little lacking in confidence.

"There are a lot of people!" Gao Yuan said: "Our more than a thousand people are just an introduction. Once the war breaks out, when the mob in our camp finds that they cannot advance or retreat, they will naturally move closer to the strong for survival. This is us. Gather these people, organize the defense with us as the center, and the energy that erupts when people are about to die cannot be underestimated."

"I'm afraid these people won't dare!" Yan Haibo sighed, "Look outside, it doesn't look like an army!"

"If you fight two battles, you will transform. The dregs will be eliminated, and what remains is the essence. As long as the 20,000 people can survive for four or five thousand, they will become a force that cannot be underestimated." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "The Yan Lingwei who came today has already described the enemy in front of us very clearly. The main general Zhao Rong, Zhao Qi's cousin, an old nobleman, has very high vision, so he must not look down on him. We rabble, isn't this our chance?"

"Well, the enemy looks down on us, I like it the most!" Yan Haibo said with a dark belly: "Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the most fun."

Gao Yuan laughed, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, and spread them on the ground in front of him, "Come on, let's take a look at the map Yan Lingwei sent us, not to mention Yan Lingwei's efficiency and ability It's not bad, at least this map is very detailed, please take a closer look, two miles away from our campsite, the place is wide, it is a good place for a decisive battle, if the Zhao army comes to attack, Guo Kun will definitely lead us out The battalion is set up here, everyone is chaotic, and there are no rules at all, let's go out of the camp first and occupy this area." Gao Yuan pointed his finger, "Here, there is a gentle slope, which looks inconspicuous, and the slope is not too steep. It is big, but it is long enough. After the battle, our army will definitely be defeated. At this time, we will also retreat, retreat to the top of this gentle slope, and then raise the banner and stand firm on the spot."

"Among the chaos, many routs will inevitably flee to us, Naha, you are responsible for gathering these routs, and then assigning them to form a new defensive circle."

"I'm afraid that these frightened guys won't listen to the greeting." Naha said with a sad face.

"If you don't listen to the call, then kill him immediately!" Gao Yuan's face changed, "If you cut off his heads, you will be honest."

"Understood!"

"Xiao Yanzi, you organize the crossbowmen, you must contain the opponent's first wave of attack at the first time, this is the most difficult time, as long as you hold back, more people will gather here .”

"Yes, county lieutenant! Let these Zhao troops taste the strength of our arms." Yan Haibo said fiercely.

"Infantry, you and I will take the hundred cavalry and launch a counterattack at any time to buy more time for Yanzi." Gao Yuan looked at the infantry.

"clear!"

"If you have any questions, please bring them up now. Let's brainstorm and come up with a solution. This first battle is the juncture of our life and death. After passing this hurdle, life will get better and better in the future." Already." Gao Yuan clapped his hands and said.

A few people in the room, bowed their heads, thinking about their own problems. Everyone has different tasks, and of course they will face different difficulties.

"County lieutenant!" The big curtain door was lifted, and a guard poked his head in, "The guy who came during the day came again, saying that he has something urgent to see the county lieutenant."

"That Yan Lingwei is here again?" Gao Yuan said in surprise, "Let him in."

From outside the big tent, a man dressed in ordinary people's clothes came in, with an ordinary face, the kind that you will forget when you turn around.

"Captain Gao!" The visitor cupped his hands.

"Brother, what's the important matter here this time?" Gao Yuan dared not be polite to this person, so he asked directly.

"Our brothers in Jiang Dawei's camp have received news. After thinking about it, I think it's better to inform you."

"Come in!"

"During today's military meeting, Jiang Dawei deployed a troop of 5,000 people. Firstly, it is to prevent you from collapsing in a single battle and attacking the main battalion. Secondly, it is also used as a supervising team. What do they want to do? The county lieutenant understands. It is best not to retreat in any direction."

"I'm not ready to retire!" Gao Yuan laughed.

The visitor took a strange look at Gao Yuan, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, you can seriously consider General Tan's proposal. Why bother to focus on going down the road of desperation."

"How much do you know?" Looking at Yan Lingwei opposite, Gao Yuan was a little surprised at the status of the other party.

The visitor smiled, "General Tan received the news, I also received it. Let's put it this way, in Yuyang County, Yanling Guard belongs to me the biggest."

"Offended, I didn't know the identity of my brother, I was a bit negligent before!" Gao Yuan smiled and cupped his hands. "I also said that you are an ordinary spy."

"It's no different!" The visitor shrugged, "Master Ning values ​​you very much, of course I have to do my best, but you are too stubborn, so I can only do my best and obey the destiny."

"Brother, please don't worry, Gao Yuan, I can't die!" (To be continued.
