The big man is on the run

Chapter 48 Zhu Jun's Defense Before the Battle

"You can't defend the city, you have to rely on the fortifications below the city to fight against the city."

The last famous general of the Han Empire, Hussar General Zhu Jun Zhu Gongwei stood at the head of the city of Zheng County and said solemnly.

Seeing the stubborn old man's finger pointing, Liu Yi observed carefully, and only then did he understand what the other party meant.

"I understand."

Liu Yi said bluntly: "The city of Zheng County is low, and the Chinese army and the families of hundreds of officials are already overcrowded. If you defend the city, everyone wants to come in, and there will be trouble."

"That's not all, cough cough"

Just as Zhu Jun wanted to say something, he coughed violently.

"Mr. Zhu?"

"fine."

After calming down for a while, Zhu Jun continued to say: "What your majesty said is only one aspect."

"More importantly, with more than 1 soldiers in five armies, not only can't spread in the city, but even if they can spread, they can't defend the city."

"Zheng County is an isolated city." Taiwei Yang Biao walked up the city wall with the support of Yang Xiu.

"It's useless to hold on to each other for a long time. Li Jue said that there will be no rendezvous, and there is not much food left."

Liu Yi said clearly: "Then the only way out is to go back to the city and fight in the field. Did Duan Yao in Huayin ask for help? Zheng County and Huayin are only a few tens of miles away, which is the distance from Shaohua Mountain to Huashan Mountain."

"Sent a messenger."

Yang Biao is very confident: "Duan Zhongming is of the same family as Duan Jiong. Dong Zhuo stayed to guard Huayin when he burned Luoyang and moved west to Chang'an. Clean and clean, I think it is someone you can rely on."

It turned out to be the same family of Duan Jiong, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming".

During the period after Liu Yi traveled through time, he had almost heard the legends about the famous generals of the late Han Dynasty, the "Liangzhou Sanming". How famous were Huangfugui, Zhang Huan, and Duan Jiong in Yongliang?

Take a chestnut.

In the early years, Jia Xu was inspected as Xiaolian, and resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown in the west. Instead of taking the normal Anding-Longkou-Jieting road, Jia Xu took the south road of Chencang-Wudu-Qishan via Hanzhong (that is, the well-known road of Zhuge Liang's attack on Chen Cangwei, transfer to Wudu, and finally leave Qishan).

Unfortunately, Wudu County is the territory of the Di people. Jia Xu and his party met the rebellious Di people on the road, and were captured by the Di people together with dozens of people.

It stands to reason that normal people should wash their necks at this time.

But Jia Xu said calmly: "I am the grandson of Duan Gong (Duan Jiong), I will not be buried with them, please kill me alone."

Duan Jiong was a frontier general for a long time, powerful in the west, so Jia Xu pretended to be Duan Jiong's grandson to frighten the Di people.

But the rest were killed.

Therefore, Duan Yan was in the same family as Duan Jiong, and this alone, at the end of the Han Dynasty when he gradually valued his background, could become the reason why ministers and ministers trusted him.

Of course, Liu Yi didn't quite believe this reason.

Xia Yu was brought out by Duan Jiong himself!
"That's it, what if Duan Yan doesn't come or doesn't come in time?"

Liu Yi looked at Zhu Jun's face, and added: "It's not because I don't believe in Zhu Gong. There is only Zhu Gong who can command more than ten thousand people here. I just want to be at ease."

The humble little Liu really didn't dare to beep more at this time. He had no choice but to do some tricks in small-scale battles and win by surprise.

When it really came to this kind of tens of thousands of people forming a formation and fighting face to face with an upright army, they could only rely on Zhu Jun.

To repeat, at this time, apart from Zhu Jun, who was the coach of the Han army when he was in the Yellow Turban, no one had the qualifications and ability to command this extremely complicated army.

A tactical staff officer like Fazheng, or a general like Xu Huang, may be able to do so in the future, but definitely not now.

You must know that the current Fa Xiaozhi has never even experienced a serious battle of ten thousand people!
Xu Huang may have experienced it in Hedong. After all, when the Baibo bandits in Hedong rebelled, they would coerce tens of thousands at every turn, but his role was always that of a grassroots officer, not the commander of the army.

Everyone needs to grow up, and Fazheng and Xu Huang in their infancy are not enough to take on this important task.

Liu Yi is even more convinced that with his level of inability to command AI like an arm in Total War Three Kingdoms, even if he wants to be the principal's micromanager, it may be difficult to do it with the communication conditions of this era.

So it’s better not to add to the chaos, let professional people do professional things, and learn by yourself with an open mind.

"The Chinese army is in the city."

Zhu Jun's order is very reasonable, the composition of the Chinese army is relatively complicated, and the formation is relatively hasty.

After reorganization, it included more than 500 soldiers of Yulin Guard and Huben Guard, more than 600 veteran soldiers of the Northern Army, and hundreds of young and strong refugees.

These veterans of the Northern Army listened to Zhu Jun's words. Although they had not fought for many years and their combat awareness was still there, their technical and tactical level, physical fitness, and combat effectiveness in formation combat inevitably declined.

The imperial guards Habayashi Guard and Huben Guard are physically strong and well-trained, but they have not been tempered in large-scale battles. They are two extremes opposite to the old soldiers of the Northern Army.

As for the young and strong refugees, they were so frightened last night that they might be able to play the role of shooting arrows at the top of the city, waving flags and shouting, and digging soil to fill trenches.

Therefore, if the Chinese army excludes the guards around the emperor, those who can be used can only be counted as 1000 people.

These 1000 people are also the most capable and loyal force that the Han court can control at present. They have a high armor rate and are fully equipped, so they cannot be easily used.

"Yang Ding and Dong Cheng's camps in the north of the city defended on the spot, Yang Feng stationed in the camps in the west of the city, and Zhang Ji's [-] cavalry were on standby at the foot of Shaohua Mountain in the southwest of the city for maneuvering."

Zhu Jun's arrangement was very reasonable, and it was already the safest arrangement, and no one raised any objections.

What I want to explain here is that the county seat of Zheng County is built on Shaohua Mountain, and Shaohua Mountain is northeast-southwest. Therefore, the east and south sides of Zheng County County are protected by natural mountains, and naturally there is no need for heavy defense.

Guo Si's North Route Army was roughly equal in strength to the five mixed South Route Army, and the South Route Army was the defender, which is why the Minister of Public Affairs did not yell and run away.

It's hard to run away, and there's no need to run, just defend.

Guo Bang's army crossed the river from the Weishuijing Bridge in the north, and the one facing it must be the north. Therefore, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng, the two most powerful infantry troops, were arranged to defend the north with the camp they set up yesterday.

The pressure on the west side was very small, and support could be provided at any time, so Yang Feng's Baibo Army, which had only more than 2000 men left, was arranged.

As for the [-] cavalry under Zhang Ji's most mobile ability, they were used by Zhu Jun as a strategic reserve.

Everything is properly arranged, and the materials and personnel used for defense are being dispatched urgently. The guards and horses are everywhere in a radius of [-] miles. The officers and soldiers are waiting for Guo Si to attack in Zhengxianjing.

The sun rises slowly from the east, and it is as red as blood.
