Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 442 The Depressed Famous General

Wu Ban and Yan Yan saw who was coming, and their respective hearts that wanted to quarrel temporarily calmed down a little.

The visitor was none other than one of the generals under the command of Li Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou Army's expedition to the west. His surname was Lei and his last name was Tong. His marksmanship was invincible in Yizhou and he was extremely brave. It is said that he once fought with Yizhou No. 1. Zhang Ren fought against each other, and there was no difference between the winner and the loser.

During this expedition, Li Yan also sent Lei Tong here, nominally to help Yan Yan.

But in fact, it is similar to the task on Wu Ban's shoulders.

But compared to Wu Ban, Lei Tong was much better at being a man, he was a little transparent throughout the whole process, and only spoke when necessary in military discussions.

And what he said was desirable to a certain extent, so whether it was Yan Yan or Wu Ban, he had to give Lei Tong some face.

Immediately, Yan Yan snorted coldly, sheathed the sword with a clang, glared at Wu Ban fiercely, and said: "If it hadn't been for General Lei's persuasion, I would definitely have a showdown with you today!"

Wu Ban also sneered: "I don't know if Yan Xianfeng is still able to wield your tiger-headed sword at such an age!"

Lei Tong couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw this, fearing that the two men would start fighting again if they continued talking, he quickly persuaded Wu Ban and pushed him out of the tent.

Yan Yan was left sitting alone in the Chinese army tent, sulking.

After a while, Lei Tong finally calmed down Wu Ban temporarily, and then returned to the tent of the Chinese army, seeing the mess in front of Yan Yan.

He let out another long sigh, waved his hand, and called two sergeants to help sort out the scattered letters, and ordered the orderly officer to find another table and place the letters.

Only then did he sit opposite Yan Yan, and said helplessly, "Old general, what can't you talk about, why bother fighting with such people?"

Lei Tong was actually quite disdainful of Wu Ban's arrogant performance, but he was in a low position and had low authority, even if his hidden identity as a military supervisor was not taken into account.

In the Yizhou Army, Lei Tong's official position was just that of a Zhonglang General, and he was only temporarily promoted because of this expedition.

Before this, Lei Tong was just a small captain in the Jiangzhou Legion.

Hearing Lei Tong's words, Yan Yan wanted to tell Lei Tong again about Wu Ban's arrogant appearance in his camp, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was really unnecessary, so he finally let out a long sigh.

Upon seeing this, Lei Tong did not continue to ask any more questions. He originally came here to discuss with Yan Yan how to fight next.

But I didn't expect that just by coincidence, I ran into a scene where the chief general of the army and the supervising army had conflicts and the swords were on the verge of breaking out.

Seeing that Yan Yan didn't want to talk more about the previous farce, Lei Tong took advantage of the opportunity to change the topic, and said in a low voice: "I wonder what the old general thinks about the next battle?"

It's okay if you don't say it, as soon as Yan Yan said this, she immediately wished to bring Wu Ban up in front of her, and wished to kill him five or seven times.

Originally, when encountering the defeated soldiers in Jingzhou, Yan Yan meant to find one or two eloquent people from those defeated soldiers to understand the situation on the front line.

Let the rest escape on their own.

To prevent them from entering their own ranks and talking about the defeat on the front line to disturb the morale of the army.

It never occurred to him that Wu Ban had brought all these defeated soldiers to his headquarters before he could send the order.

By the time Yan Yan rushed over, the entire vanguard army already knew that the front line had suffered a defeat, and it was still a tragic defeat.

The originally expected ally, the Xichuan army along the way, was frightened by Yuan Tan's prestige and directly took the remaining defeated soldiers back to Xichuan.

The Jingzhou army along the way was completely disabled, and only a few thousand soldiers and horses were left to retreat in the direction of Jingzhou.

The entire vanguard of the Yizhou Army, which was originally an army with high morale, was now demoralized.

It's no wonder that anyone originally thought of a three-on-one situation, but when he arrived, he found that the team battle was over and his teammates were all dead.

And even in the case of two-on-one, they all died, and the enemy was still full of blood and mana.

Anyone else's mentality would be broken.

However, the battle still has to be fought. After hearing Lei Tong's question, Yan Yan could only ponder for a moment and said helplessly: "As of now, we can only bite the bullet. By then, our army will want to The method is to force the enemy generals to come out and challenge me in a duel. If we can defeat one or two enemy generals, it will definitely boost our own morale. In this way, we can hold on to the camp until General Li Yan leads the army to come to support."

After hearing Yan Yan's words, Lei Tong also fell silent.

With Lei Tong's temperament, he would naturally drive straight into Huanglong and defeat the enemy. Such a situation would naturally be excellent.

But Lei Tong also knew that the current situation depended on their army of [-], against the [-] in Qiaojun City at the moment... Oh no, according to what the Jingzhou defeated soldiers said.

I'm afraid that many of the soldiers and horses under Wenpin and Yang Ling have already defected to the Yuan family in Hebei.

That means that what their vanguard army will face at that time is an army of [-] against [-], and possibly even more Hebei troops.

Even if some of these Hebei troops are demoralized troops, it is not something to celebrate.

After thinking about it, it seems that only what Yan Yan said is that when you are about to attack the city, you don't have to rush to attack the city. It is better to set up camp first, rely on the generals to boost morale, and then continue to attack.

After Yan Yan finished speaking, he felt a little relieved when he saw Lei Tong's expression of approval.

Fortunately, there are still reliable subordinates in the army.

Immediately, Yan Yan whispered to Lei Tong again: "General Lei Tong, I want to ask the general to help me stop Wu Ban and ask him not to rush out into battle, so as not to ruin morale and create a loophole for the enemy. , then, you and I will both be sinners of the country!"

Hearing Yan Yan's earnest request, and looking at the old general's gray hair, Lei Tong felt sore in his heart, and immediately nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, old general, you will definitely do your best in the end! Don't let the old general down."

Hearing Lei Tong's promised reply, Yan Yan's eyes finally lost some worry.

……

The distance of a hundred miles is actually not too far for the army.

Although the Yizhou army didn't have many cavalry, the crossbowmen were quite well prepared. The land of Yizhou was full of mountains and hills.

In the south of Yizhou, especially in Jiangzhou and Berkshire, there are high mountains and dense forests. The cavalry cannot be used, but archers with strong bows and crossbows. In these terrains, it can be said that the right time, place and people are all in one.

The archers in Yizhou can be regarded as the best in the world, and this time Yan Yan went to the expedition, and he brought [-] Berkshire elites under his command, [-] of which were strong archers carefully trained by Yan Yan.

With the help of these [-] strong archers, although Yan Yan did not have much confidence that he could capture Qiaojun City in front of him, he was confident that he could defend the attack of the Hebei army in Qiaojun City.
