Chapter 16 Zhang Liao surrenders
Lu Ning regarded the grassland as a battlefield and as the logistics support area for his Big Bear Army! Weapons, equipment, and food supplies are all based on the gains in the battle. They are to fight and replenish them there, and to fully implement the three-light policy. Kill everything on the grassland, leaving only the young and beautiful women behind.
After hearing this, Zhang Liao asked, "Hasn't you led your troops to achieve many battles during this period? How come you have never fought?"
Lu Ning smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "At the beginning of last month, I had only 200 soldiers under my command. I personally led Li Buhui and the others to gradually grow and grow in the battle. Although I have achieved one victory after another, those victories were achieved by using strategies to use raids, raids, sneak attacks, harassment, ambushes, ambushes, and other means. Our army has never confronted the enemy head-on. Now, it's different. With so many people around me, it's a headache for me! If there weren't so many people to drag down, I wouldn't be afraid even if I had more enemies. So, Wen Yuan, I'm frowning now and I have no way to do it."
Zhang Liao said: "Do you think about attacking Mayi City and Yinguan City? Although these places are currently occupied by Xianbei cavalry, their troops are not very strong. As long as the adults deduct troops to attack, there should be no difficulty in capturing the city. This will not solve the problem of the right surname and the problem of defense."
After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Wen Yuan, I have considered all these things. We are just a bear on the grassland now. Once we occupy the city, Ding Yuan from Bingzhou will definitely send troops to attack us. Don't look at these corrupt officials in the court. They are afraid of the Xianbei and the Huns' cavalry, but their bastards are the best at fighting internal wars. When he saw us driving away the foreign tatars, he would immediately attack us again. Then we will be attacked by many enemies."
Li You said: "There are not many Xianbei cavalry in small counties such as Mayi and Sangqian, and it is not a big problem to fight. However, there are five thousand iron cavalry of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe stationed in the Yinguan. Our current abilities cannot be defeated."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao asked again: "What are the plans for that sir?"
Lu Ning said: "Now there is no, so we can only send more scouts to conduct uninterrupted reconnaissance around us, and then make combat plans based on the situation of the reconnaissance. Of course, it is nothing more than ambushing, attacking aid, sneak attack, harassment and other means. Our army must lead the enemy to a place far away from the people to fight decisively. Otherwise, the people will be hurt. That's not possible. We are not all about the horse thieves, Xianbei, Xiongnu, etc. to protect the people on the border of our Han Dynasty? How can we ignore the lives and deaths of the people for our own safety? In this case, our army's losses may be very huge, and it may even be destroyed by the enemy. But this is also impossible. Since ancient times, no one will die. Let's leave a loyal heart to shine in history. Let's use our blood to protect our homeland."
Zhang Liao was very moved when he heard this. Zhang Liao was a passionate man. Although he was young, he was only a little famous among the official army. He always wanted to protect his family and fight against the Xianbei people, Xiongnu and other Tazi. However, the current official army will only oppress the people and dare not fight with foreign barbarians such as the Xianbei people, and he has always felt uncomfortable.
After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhang Liao was deeply moved. He immediately stood up and knelt down to Lu Ning and said, "Sir, if you are not idle, I, Zhang Liao, will follow you to death and follow you, kill foreign barbarians, and defend your country."
Lu Ning stood up and helped Zhang Liao up and said, "Thank you, Wen Yuan, I will never let you down in my life, nor will I let you down in every person I sit in. I hope that all of us will work together to fight the future battle and use the saber in our hands to welcome the invading enemy."
Lu Ning was thinking in his heart that he finally got a famous general from the Three Kingdoms! Hahaha!
After hearing Lu Ning's words, everyone said, "It's the lord, let's listen to the lord's arrangements together."
Lu Ning continued: "We don't have infantry now. From tomorrow on, all cavalry training will be led by Wen Yuan, and we will not regret help. But we must speed up the training of snipers, but we cannot relax for a moment. In addition, the recruitment of new recruits must be of quality. We are willing to be less and more refined, and we should not be of low-quality soldiers."
Everyone said in unison: "It's the lord."
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Ning in confusion, then asked: "Lord, what kind of soldier are you talking about? What kind of soldier are the snipers?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, this is my new name. The scout is the horse-snooping horse, and the sniper is the archer."
In the next two days, Zhang Liao was responsible for the entire training of the soldiers. At first, the soldiers were still skeptical about Zhang Liao's ability, and as Zhang Liao showed his abilities during training, the soldiers were convinced.
According to the scouts' report, Lu Ning stayed in front of the map all day long, gestured left and right, and after Lu Ning's careful thinking, Lu Ning decided to take a risk to attack.
If the attack is not taken on the initiative, once the Xianbei tribe of the Tuoba tribe and the Xianbei tribe of the Murong clan attack at the same time, Lu Ning really has no way to bear it. Now he can only eat the weaker Xianbei of the Murong clan first, and then find a way to deal with the Xianbei tribe of the Tuoba tribe.
That night, Lu Ning called all the generals and officers of the second lieutenant to come to a meeting to study. First, after Lu Ning told everyone about his thoughts, everyone started talking.
Li Youze asked in confusion: "Lord, if we ran away to attack the Murong clan's base camp, we might not be able to achieve the effect of sneak attack. After all, it is nearly a thousand miles away from our army. Once we cannot achieve the sneak attack, we will only have to fight with the Murong clan's cavalry. Although the Murong clan's cavalry has not yet been fully assembled, there are at least more than 3,000 iron cavalry in their base camp. Even if we win, we will win. I guess there will not be many soldiers who can survive. In this way, what can we use to resist other enemies who will directly attack our direct attack."
Lu Ning explained to everyone: "Although the base camp of the Murong clan is nearly a thousand miles away from us, I have calculated that we now have nearly 6,000 war horses, and our army sends 2,000 troops, and one person and three cavalry, we should be able to reach it a day and a night. But the soldiers will work very hard, and I don't know how powerful our soldiers will be at that time? If the soldiers can persevere, we can eliminate several groups of horse thieves in that area, which will give our soldiers a certain amount of supplements. Of course, once our army cannot achieve the purpose of sneak attack, we will be very passive and even the entire army will be destroyed. If we don't take risks, we will not be able to get out of the predicament. After all, we offended the Tuoba tribe and the Murong clan. Even if we did not offend them, they will still destroy our army."
Lu Ning knew very well that he had attacked several Xianbei tribes during this period. If he did not continue to take the initiative, once the Xianbei army was approaching, his troops would not be enough for my family to fight for a round of storm? Now he could only fight with his back and find a way to open up the situation.
