In order to cope with this war, Tao Shang arranged and deployed a large number of school officials in advance to cooperate with various departments in the Jinling Army. They were dispersed on various battlefields and important roads, and were fully equipped so that they could deliver messages to him at any time.
The latest information on each battlefield.
Even on a battlefield with cold weapons, the importance of intelligence is enough to change the entire battle situation.
The members of the school affairs office also acted very quickly.
The school official responsible for investigating the Yuan Shang Military Camp, which was closest to the Yuan Tan Military Camp, was the first to pass on the information.
"Report to the Prime Minister!" Someone from the school affairs office reported to him: "General Zhou Tai, who was responsible for attacking Yuan Shang's military camp, won consecutive battles. Yuan Shang and his soldiers could not resist, so they huddled in the camp and sent
Did the soldiers ask for help from the surrounding camps?"
"The surrounding camps?" Tao Shang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly said: "In terms of distance, the closest camp to Yuan Shang's military camp should be Yuan Tan's place, right?"
"Exactly! However, due to General Zhou Tai's interception, most of the people who sent the message were blocked. Only a few people broke out of the encirclement, but they did not dare to take the main road. They probably took the small road to go to the handsome tent of Mr. Yuan.
Come."
The pottery merchant nodded: "I see, if I think about the distance, they should not be far from here now... Ah Fei!"
"exist!"
"Send people quickly and ambush soldiers and horses at various strategic points. No matter what, I must stop Yuan Shang's messenger. I must not let them deliver the letter asking for help to Yuan Tan. Do you understand?"
"promise!"
The potter nodded with satisfaction and asked the school official: "Except Yuan Shang's Dazhai, what is the current situation of the other roads?"
The school official said hurriedly: "The fighting is stalemate in the other roads, and there is nothing strange. It's just that Yuan Shao sent his general Zhang, with three thousand troops, on his way to our Dazhai."
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this: "How many soldiers and horses?"
"Three thousand!"
"Three thousand people..."
The potter smashed his mouth, and after a long moment of silence, he let out a long sigh.
"Zhang, Zhang, you have been turned into an outcast by Yuan Shao after all. The character of your loyal lord who is willing to save his life has been tested by Tao."
Huang Xu participated in the whole process of this matter, and he kept talking about it, but he always felt that it was not the case.
What does it mean to be tested by Yuan Shao's character?
It seems like you tricked Zhang, okay?
…
Zhang's troops left Yuan Shao's stronghold and rushed straight to the main camp of Tao Shang's army.
After Qu Yi, who was in charge of attacking Yuan Shao's main stronghold, learned the news, he did not send anyone to stop it because he knew that his stronghold was impregnable and there was no need to worry. Zhang led his people there simply to seek death.
Zhang's group moved quickly and soon arrived at the pottery merchant's village.
Of the three thousand men and horses under his command, two thousand were elite heavy infantry warriors whom he personally trained.
Looking at the world's infantry, the Euphorbias are indeed rare elite infantry, but they are not the best.
There are infantry armies that are stronger than the Euphorbias. Among them, the Jinling Tiger Guards are the most representative one.
The gate of the village was slowly opened, and Xu Chu and his wife Xu Hanniang rode out, lined up the Tiger Guards, and confronted Zhang.
Xu Chu glanced around the enemy formation with cold eyes, and finally curled his lips and said: "Zhang, you just brought a few people here. Could it be that you underestimated me, Xu Chu? Hurry up and lead the troops back. If you are not my opponent, you will not lose your life in vain."
Damage your reputation for a lifetime."
Zhang's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything. He just raised the war gun in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the soldiers behind him shouting in unison: "Fight, fight, fight!"
Xu Chu raised his eyebrows: "Humph! It's okay if you don't listen to my advice. Since you want to die, I will make it happen for you."
After saying that, he rode his horse and led the troops to fight against Zhang.
However, Xu's silly mother said: "You are the commander-in-chief of the first army and responsible for guarding the camp. How can you escape easily? I will fight him!"
When Xu Chu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then said hurriedly: "Madam, you must not go out lightly. Zhang Jue is not taking it easy. Although there are only three thousand troops, it is not easy for me to capture him. Madam still..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu's stupid wife glared fiercely: "So what if it's not easy for you to take him down? It's not easy for me to handle you, so how can you be afraid of him?"
Xu Chu kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, yes, my wife's bravery is unparalleled, and her husband is far inferior... My wife is like an overlord in this world, invincible in the world!"
"Fart, who do you think is the overlord? In your heart, are you hoping that I, Wujiang, will kill herself so that your husband can get married again?"
"Madam, what you said is wrong? When did a certain family ever say such a thing?"
"Stop talking so much and stand up for me!"
After saying that, Xu Hanniang ordered the Tiger Guards to rush out.
Over there, the Euphorbia warriors were like a torrent of steel, sweeping with strong murderous intent, and rushed towards Xu Hanniang and the Tiger Guards.
Two world-famous heavy infantrymen clashed together, making an earth-shattering sound. Soldiers on both sides faced off against each other, and the generals engaged in a silly fight.
When it comes to combat effectiveness and tactics, or the level of strength, the Euphorbia Warriors are indeed a lot better compared to the Jinling Tiger Guards.
The weapons of the Euphorbia warriors and their armor are very thick, with high lethality and defensive power, but they lack mobility and their tactics are relatively simple.
The Jinling Tiger Guards have a variety of weapons, including spears, halberds, simple knives, and long swords. Even throwing knives and meteor hammers are equipped by potters.
After the fight, the Euphorbia Warriors' combat power seemed weaker than that of the Tiger Guards.
After Zhang and Xu's Han Niang each fought in the formation for a while, they finally bumped into each other.
Xu Hanniang didn't give Zhang a chance to react and rushed towards him with a sword.
Zhang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Xu's silly mother.
Why are you sending a woman here?
However, this female general's figure is also really broad, and she looks absolutely extraordinary.
Zhang never underestimated any opponent. He was cautious and began to fight fiercely with Xu Hanniang. The two sides fought for more than thirty rounds, and the outcome was indistinguishable.
Zhang was surprised.
How can these ladies be so capable?
He really didn't expect Xu Hanniang to be so capable of fighting him in such a situation.
But no matter what, she is just a woman after all. When it comes to real abilities, Zhang Zi believes that his ability is still above that of Xu Hanniang.
As time went by, Xu Hanniang's sword skills gradually became chaotic, and Zhang began to gradually strengthen his offensive, gaining the upper hand more and more.
Xu Hanniang was not convinced, but the fact was before her eyes that she was gradually being suppressed by Zhang.
At this moment, during the oblique assassination, a tiger-head knife separated the weapons of the two people, and then a thunderous voice was heard shouting: "Bullying women is nothing, Zhang! Come on! Let's practice!"
