Chapter 550 Xu Huang's Strategy

A Goguryeo village eight hundred miles away from the domestic city, the peaceful and peaceful village in the past has become a hell on earth!

A group of Koguryo soldiers rushed into the village and looted wantonly. All property and food in the village were taken away, and the men in their prime were forcibly taken away.

Young, presumptuous women were raped, put on carts, and taken away with their belongings as trophies.

Finally, a fire was ignited, and a village was reduced to ashes in less than two hours!

In the dense forest far from the village, dozens of men in Goguryeo costumes silently hid from the viewers, witnessing the looting of the rebels. Seeing the looting soldiers go away, one person murmured: "What are they doing? Aren't they soldiers of Goguryeo? Why did they wantonly plunder the local residents of Goguryeo?"

As a battle-hardened warrior, he has seen many slaughters and looting!

The scene when Xianbei went south to plunder the Han land was exactly the same as this. However, what the man can't figure out is that the Xianbei people and the Han people are two hostile countries, and don't blame anyone for plundering each other. But the soldiers who looted and killed in front of them were Goguryeo people, and those who were looted were also Goguryeo people.

The army that was supposed to be the defender raised the butcher's knife to its own people, which is really beyond imagination.

No one answered his words, and after a moment of silence, the leading man waved his hand and said, "Go back, there is no point in continuing to investigate!"

"It's the general!"

Everyone gave a low shout and took orders one after another.

The leader is obviously Xu Huang, the leader of the vanguard army!

Du Boqing's campaign was huge, and in order to boost the morale of the army, Gao Yanyou also vigorously advocated for it. When Xu Huang heard that more than one million troops were coming to Anhu City, he was also taken aback.

After all, he only has 300,000 troops, while Du Boqing's troops are at least 1.3 million, and they are rapidly expanding.

Xu Huang hesitated for a while whether to send Liu Yi a request for help, but the follow-up information dispelled his doubts.

According to intelligence, among the more than one million troops under Du Boqing's command, only the 200,000 original inner city troops and the Du Bo family's private army are really capable of fighting.

The strength of the rest of the newly recruited troops and the reinforcements from the surrounding cities was not even as strong as the county soldiers before Pingzhou's rectification.

As for the strong men who were forcibly brought in, their combat power was equivalent to the bandits and thieves Shang Ji encountered when he first entered the game.

Knowing the real situation of Goguryeo's million-strong army, Xu Huang was relieved.

However, just to be on the safe side, Xu Huang decided to disguise himself and take people to the front line for field inspections.

After arriving, Xu Huang realized that the real situation was more optimistic than imagined.

Du Boqing completely abandoned the elite soldier plan, trying to drown the Pingzhou army with a large number of troops. All the middle-aged Goguryeo men along the way were forcibly recruited into the army, and the women were directly used as military prostitutes. All food and property were robbed, and the houses were burned down. The dignified regular army actually played the coercion method of the bandits.

Compared with the Pingzhou army, the Goguryeo army is more like an invader.

Shangji marched with the goal of conquering and governing. The killing of Goguryeo aborigines by the Pingzhou army along the way was not serious. Even because of population reasons, the Pingzhou army fought for the purpose of protection. As long as there is no move against the Pingzhou Army, they will not be persecuted.

In fact, Goguryeo's determination to resist is not heavy. It was originally a multi-ethnic mixed country. Various tribes in the country often waged large-scale wars, and the King of Goguryeo could only stay in the palace and wait for the results of the two parties to come forward to mediate.

How can such a country with no historical background and independent governance have such strong resistance? According to normal history, it took two or three hundred years for Goguryeo to truly reach its peak and become a regional bully. Then it was destroyed by Tang Dynasty four hundred years later.

Xu Huang and his party left the dense forest, found the hidden mount, and left in the midst of a burst of horse neighing.

Soon, Xu Huang returned to the camp, and the deputy general of the Vanguard Army went out to greet him.

"General, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As the leader of an army, it is inappropriate for you to act so rashly!"

Welcoming Xu Huang into the camp, the lieutenant persuaded him with a sad face.

Xu Huang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Benqing, if I don't go and see for myself, how can I rest assured? Ben will be trusted by the lord and Liu Shuai, and entrust the army to me. If he can't win, what face will Ben have to face the lord and Liu Shuai?" Shuai Liu?"

The deputy general, surnamed Feng Yu and styled Benqing, is a veteran general in the Pingzhou Army. He has been following Shang Ji since the period of Heishuisai. Now he has been promoted to a super first-class military general, an official school lieutenant, and a key member of the veteran faction.

This time Xu Huang led the army alone, and Feng Yu was sent to serve as Xu Huang's deputy general to make up for Xu Huang's lack of experience.

"General, how is the investigation going? Do you need to ask Liu Shuai for support?" Feng Yu no longer pursued Xu Huang's personal danger, and directly asked about the investigation results.

Although Qian Huan's information had been sent earlier, Feng Yu's heart was empty!

Not to mention Xu Huang, it was Feng Yu's first time commanding such a large-scale war. If Xu Huang hadn't taken the lead, it might have been Feng Yu who went to the front to investigate the enemy's situation.

When this question was brought up, Xu Huang was immediately amused. After thinking about it, he said proudly: "After this battle, the general will probably start the preparations for the ax splitting cavalry!"

"hiss……"

Feng Yu suddenly took a deep breath, and asked intently: "Is the Goguryeo Army really so vulnerable?"

The so-called Ax Ripper is actually Xu Huang's exclusive special unit. As an S-class historical general, Xu Huang also has his own special arms.

However, today is different from the past, the most indispensable thing in the Pingzhou army is special arms. It turns out that just after Zhao Yun, Huang Zhongtao and others took office, Shang Ji supported them in establishing a school's exclusive special arms.

However, as the scale of the Pingzhou Army is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more historical generals, and the construction cost of special arms is getting higher and higher, it is no longer possible to establish exclusive special arms as soon as they come.

At present, in the Pingzhou Army, whether there are exclusive special arms, and the number of special arms has become an alternative expression of status.

There are exclusive special arms, which means that they have entered the core layer of the Pingzhou Army, and the number directly reflects the status.

As the lord, Shang Ji, with 100,000 black-armored mysterious knights, is the best in the army, followed by Liu Yi, the number two character, with 50,000 Xingyao Longbow and 20,000 ghost knights, and the rest are 50,000.

According to Shang Ji's latest plan, the military generals who defected in the future, even if they have special arms, are not allowed to establish their own special arms if they do not have enough meritorious service.

The fact that Xu Huang dared to boast that he was planning to build the Axe Rider after the war meant that he was sure of winning this battle, and he had to win it beautifully. In the Pingzhou Army, winning is the norm, and ordinary victories are not qualified to establish exclusive special arms.

Feng Yu, as an old man of the Pingzhou Army, was familiar with this kind of unspoken rules, and immediately understood what Xu Huang meant.

"It's simpler than expected. This kind of army is an insult to the word army. Don't say millions, even if it's tens of millions, it can be defeated in one blow!"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang introduced to Feng Yu in detail what he had seen and heard along the way, including the actions of the Goguryeo army plundering La Zhuangding.

"How could Goguryeo be so unwise? Isn't this the way to die?"

Feng Yu still couldn't believe that Goguryeo could be so stupid, and muttered to himself.

"Perhaps this is the destiny, God looks after the lord!" Xu Huang couldn't help whispering to himself when he thought of all the visions on the day of Shang Ji's wedding. At that time, it was also because of this that he strengthened his determination to defect to Shangji.

"General Xu, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

Feng Yu's heart suddenly became hot. Once the army of millions in Goguryeo was defeated, of course Xu Huang deserved the most credit, but as a lieutenant general, his status would naturally rise to a higher level. You must know that the competition within the Pingzhou Army is very fierce.

"Brother Ben Qing, let's see!"

Xu Huang pulled Feng Yu to the side of the sand table, pointed to the sand table and said: "The Goguryeo army is very scattered. More than one million troops are scattered in the wilderness with a radius of hundreds of miles. The main force of their army is the old Goguryeo army and Du Bo's army. As long as this part of the army is wiped out, the rest of the army can be defeated without a fight!"

On the sand table, a small black flag represents the Goguryeo army, and the center part is the old army and clan army.

Contemptuously glanced at the so-called main army, Xu Huang continued: "These troops are just a little bit better than ordinary troops, most of them are around the third rank, and the number of fourth rank soldiers does not exceed 20%. The war army is far away. An elite cavalry can go straight in, enough to defeat it!"

Feng Yu nodded, agreeing with Xu Huang's statement. In terms of the quality of the army, the Pingzhou Guards are enough to beat Goguryeo, let alone the Zhanjun.

"However, Brother Benqing, our main purpose of this battle is not to repel the reinforcements, but to destroy as much as possible the vital forces of Goguryeo. The nearly two million Goguryeo troops before and after, it is impossible to eat them all with our strength. This group of people fled The wilderness is not scary, but I am afraid that they will flee back to the inner city, which will cause great trouble for us to break through the inner city."

"What does the general mean?" Feng Yu seemed to understand what Xu Huang meant, and asked tentatively.

"So, we need to send an elite army to secretly go around behind the Goguryeo army and block their retreat route to the inner city!"

"I understand, I will request to perform this task!"

"General Benqing, we don't have enough troops. I can only give you 50,000 troops to carry out this task at most. You should think about it!"

"Hahaha, 50,000 troops are enough, how can a group of defeated generals bother so many troops!" Feng Yu laughed, blocking the enemy's route back to the city, it seemed dangerous, but by then these troops must have been killed Fearless, the establishment is scattered and leaderless, Feng Yu is really not afraid that they will turn the world upside down.

"Okay! With the general's words, why worry about the enemy not breaking through? Let the two generals Sheng Ze and Hu Kang lead 100,000 troops to attack from the two wings. This general will lead 50,000 elite soldiers to attack the enemy's center directly and defeat Goguryeo in one fell swoop. Reinforcements. As long as the defeated army does not intend to return to the inner city, General Ben Qing will not care about him, the defeated army above the wilderness poses no threat to us at all!"

"Yes, General!" I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Online Games: Zhige Three Kingdoms", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read novels, chat about life, and find friends~
