Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 65 The Arrival of Pang Juan
A large army bearing the flag of Wei was galloping along the road, and Wei Ang ran up ahead in disgrace.Seeing this, the soldiers of Wei State did not dare to stop them and let them go quickly.

Wei Ang buried his head and hurried through the army, when suddenly a burly general stood in front of him: "Mr. Ang, why does he look like this?".

"Our army was defeated and suffered countless casualties. Angte came to plead guilty to his father and the general."Wei Ang raised his head, and saw that Zhang Meng's heart gradually fell to the ground.

Zhang Meng raised his hand after pondering, and the army stopped immediately: "Your Majesty has already returned to the country, and I'm afraid you won't be able to plead guilty."

"Father has gone back?".Wei Ang was startled and then let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that he had escaped a catastrophe.

Zhang Meng nodded and pointed to the back: "Young Master, if you want to make an apology, you can go to the Central Army to find the general. But this is the time for employing people, and you should be fine."

"Thank you".Wei Ang glanced at Zhang Meng gratefully, and then ran towards the Zhongjun.

Zhang Meng saw that Wei Ang turned and ran as if he had thought of something, and quickly shouted at his back: "My lord, stop."

"Is there any other business for General Zhang?"Wei Ang stopped in doubt, turned around and looked at Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng smiled at Wei Ang, and pointed to his feet: "Your Master, is he planning to run to see the general like this? There is a long distance between the front army and the middle army."

Wei Ang looked at his feet, smiled shyly at Zhang Meng, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhang Meng ordered to the surrounding soldiers: "Prepare a chariot for the young master."

"Follow orders".A soldier took the lead, and a chariot came slowly after a while.

Wei Ang was not too polite, and walked directly to the chariot, and after standing on it, he gave a grateful salute to Zhang Meng: "Thank you General Zhang for giving the chariot."

"Don't dare to be".Zhang Meng was not good at words, but when he heard Wei Ang's words of gratitude, he didn't even dare to say so.

Wei Ang knew his true nature, so he didn't speak words.The driver waved his whip, and the chariot moved in the direction of the Chinese army.

Seeing Wei Ang walking away, Zhang Meng immediately ordered to the surrounding soldiers: "The whole army speeds up."

"Follow orders".The soldiers took the order with a bang, and walked forward together with heavy footsteps.

Zhong Jun and Pang Juan stood on the chariot and galloped all the way. Seeing Wei Ang driving forward, he frowned slightly: "Young master came alone, but he lost the battle."

"The general has a clear lesson, Ang Yi underestimated the enemy for a while and returned in a big defeat, so he came here to plead guilty to the general."Thinking of that big defeat, Wei Ang had an annoyed look on his face.Originally, I had all the advantages, and I also expected that the enemy might detour to attack the camp from the rear, but why did I lose so badly.

Big defeat?Pang Juan frowned slightly, and his eyes were a little puzzled: "I wonder if you can explain in detail, how did you lose this time? The 15 army with the momentum of victory, facing the 20 rout army, the temporary army will be defeated." big defeat".

"The enemy's general, Zhao Wuming, dared to divide up [-] troops under the pressure of our army. He personally led the army to bypass our camp and conquer our camp. When the two armies were exhausted from the battle, they suddenly attacked from the rear, and the two sides attacked the army and broke up. , can only return in a big defeat."Wei Ang quickly explained to Pang Juan in detail, thinking of this inexplicable defeat, he felt dissatisfied for a while.

Pang Juan's brows tightened a bit, and his voice was slightly dissatisfied: "Young master is also a man who has experienced battles. Didn't you expect the danger of being attacked in the rear?"

"Of course I expected it, so I divided up [-] troops and stationed them in the camp to prevent accidents."Wei Ang explained again that he still didn't understand exactly how the rear camp was captured by Zhao Wuming.

Pang Juan seemed to have thought of the joints involved, and was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say too much: "Young master, why are you so confused? Our army conquered Handan, and the morale is at its peak. You are the vanguard, what do you need to divide the soldiers. With an upright and upright army, Gather 15 troops and attack directly. Wouldn't it be exactly what you want if the enemy divides his troops, swallowing [-] of the enemy's troops in one fell swoop, and returning to the army to wipe out Zhao Wuming's troops, the general situation is settled. It's a pity that you let [-] soldiers Defend the camp, so how can the defending soldiers not be angry. Once the enemy comes to attack, there is almost no need to lure the enemy, they will rush out in a swarm. If I were that Zhao Wuming, how could I not set up an ambush for this, at that time All it takes is a little provocation to kill in one fell swoop."

"The general's lesson is that he was too dull to miss a major event, and he asked the general to punish him."Wei Ang felt very regretful when he heard Pang Juan's call, and quickly pleaded guilty to Pang Juan.

Seeing Wei Ang who was pleading guilty, Pang Juan's lips moved, and he sighed for a while: "Forget it, now is the time to officially employ people. Write down the son's crime for now, and report it to the king together after this battle is over."

"Thank you, General, for your innocence."Hearing Pang Juan's words, Wei Ang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Pang Juan glanced past Wei Ang and looked forward, lost in thought: "The successor of Mr. Anyang is indeed a bit courageous, with only 20 improvised defeated troops in his hands, he dared to divide his troops when facing a big enemy. Isn't he afraid that in the battle ahead, he will encounter a defeated army and be defeated?".

"It can only be said that Zhao Wuming likes to take risks with soldiers. If 20 troops are in one place, they will not be able to stay with us for too long. Since they are doomed to fail, it might be possible to save them if they fight once."Wei Ang also fell into thinking, and the doubts just now were solved, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

Pang Juan did not answer immediately, but was thinking about something: "As far as I know, these defeated troops are composed of most of the forces. Handan defenders, private soldiers, and forbidden troops. If the general's guess is correct, the army led by this person It is the defenders of Handan. And you are fighting with the private soldiers of the nobles, as well as the imperial army."

"good".Wei Ang recalled carefully, and nodded to Pang Juan.It is true that some of the people who fought against him were soldiers dressed as soldiers from Zhao Guo's forbidden army.

The conjecture was confirmed, Pang Juan's thoughts were completely clear, and a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth: "It's a good plan, from now on they are no longer a defeated army, but a fierce army that has experienced the baptism of the battlefield. Ben will come up with Go all out and have a good fight with them."

"Why does the general sigh like this."Wei Ang looked at Pang Juan in surprise, not understanding why he sighed so much at these defeated troops.

Pang Juan turned his gaze to Wei Ang, and asked him back: "When our army captured Handan, the defenders in Handan suffered the most losses, and at the same time, the forbidden army was the best preserved. If Zhao Wuming gathers the defeated army and wants to gain control of the military and place cronies, he should use The Handan garrison is the easiest, while the forbidden army is the hardest. In terms of combat effectiveness, the forbidden army is well preserved and has the strongest combat effectiveness. The second is the noble private soldiers, and the last is the Handan garrison. It's just that the forbidden army is difficult to dispatch, and the private soldiers may see it There will be glitches. If you, what would you do".

"That goes without saying. Naturally, it is in the name of the chief general to seize military power. If the enemy is at present, if the whole army cannot give orders in unison, then there is no talk of confronting the enemy."Wei Ang replied without thinking.

Pang Juan shook his head: "If you want to seize military power, you need to sort out the generals at all levels of the Forbidden Army, and the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army will definitely decline."

"No wonder, no wonder he will divide his troops. If he returns with a big victory, he can use the power of the big victory to subdue the hearts of the troops in one fell swoop. At that time, the military orders will be unified and the top and bottom will be consistent. After going through the tempering of the battlefield, it will indeed become a tiger-like army."Wei Ang reacted instantly, lamenting that he failed to deal a fatal blow to the enemy when they were most vulnerable.It would be a pity to let them rise from the ashes instead.
