After the Northern Mongolian army occupied Fangcheng, they still needed some time to rest before they could continue their large-scale invasion. Therefore, during this period, they mostly sent out a small group of troops to conduct sneak attacks or provocations. Originally, they could give Beiguan victory every time.
The army has caused some losses, but for some unknown reason, it has recently begun to lose ground one after another.
Originally, under the leadership of Luo Cheng, the army in Beiguan basically only defended but did not attack, so they retreated steadily. Over time, even the soldiers of Beiguan formed a habit. This is the so-called inertia of victory.
If you keep winning battles and secretly succeed again and again, you will inevitably relax your vigilance a little. However, after Zhao Fan led the troops to become the vanguard army, he treated others in his own way, and even imitated the troops of Northern Mongolia.
, go there for a sneak attack from time to time.
Northern Mongolia dispatched 100,000 troops and horses this time. Naturally, it is impossible to station all of them in Fangcheng. Except for the troops that did not follow up, there are probably nearly 20,000 troops stationed outside Fangcheng. Just because it is close to Fangcheng, it is Yi
It is difficult to defend and attack. Once Beiguan's army launches a massive attack, the twenty thousand soldiers and horses only need to retreat into the square city in time. This simple layout can be understood by Beiguan generals no matter how stupid they are. So all the time,
There has never been a large-scale attack, because it would be in vain.
Zhao Fan did not launch a large-scale attack, but only made a sneak attack. He brought ten thousand soldiers and horses, and he retreated as quickly as he went. He beat the Northern Mongolian army hard and then retreated. He did not hesitate to fight at all and did not wait for the Northern Mongolian army to react.
, he had already led his troops and left. Although this approach could not bring any fatal blow to Northern Mongolia, within a month, it forced the 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside Fangcheng in Northern Mongolia to withdraw.
, because most of the 20,000 troops and horses have been lost.
However, the 10,000 troops led by Zhao Fan were almost unscathed.
This is a rare victory since the two countries went to war.
Therefore, Huangfuyan simply promoted Zhao Fan to be the commander-in-chief of Beiguan, and put all the 130,000 troops and horses in Beiguan under his control.
What Huangfu Yan valued was not the results he brought this month, but his ability to lead troops. The 10,000 troops he transferred from Zhang He had never had any contact with Zhao Fan, and the soldiers were more interested in Zhao Fan.
There is no such thing as trust and friendship that can last forever. And Zhao Fan was able to train them to obey his orders in just one month and achieve such a victory, which is truly rare.
No matter what the general wants to do, the soldiers do not cooperate or cooperate poorly. This is the most deceiving thing. If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. As for the tens of thousands of soldiers sent by the emperor to Beiguan, let’s just say
To be honest, there is no difference between teammates who are like pigs. But Zhao Fan was able to use these pig-like teammates to win the battle, which not only improved his status in the hearts of the soldiers, but also boosted the morale of the soldiers in Beiguan. Since then,
The two countries are at war, and the Beiguan army is retreating steadily. Its morale has long been exhausted. Even the arrival of the prince cannot inspire the morale, which has been hopelessly low. At this time, only victory can make them see
hope.
Zhao Fan did this very well.
Huangfu Yan handed over all the Beiguan soldiers to Zhao Fan, which also meant one thing, that is, it was time to prepare for war.
On this day, Huangfuyan was looking at a map, but suddenly there was a popping sound from the window.
