System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Young Master, we must go and provide support immediately. Guo Aduo has no defensive equipment. If Yuan Shu attacks forcefully, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long."

Li Jue clasped his hands together, endured the arrow wound on his body, and spoke.

"Just rest well, I will make the decision."

After Dong Yu comforted Li Jue, he turned and left the military tent where Li Jue was.

He walked quickly and strode into the central army tent.

All the generals under Dong Yu were in place, even Zhang Xiu and Wen Pin, who had gone out to suppress the bandits, had returned.

After all, the place they were going to was not far away, it was the mountains and forests near Wancheng.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is after the food and fodder this time. He certainly won't want to completely break off relations with our army."

"If the food and fodder are sent out, it will ensure that all the soldiers can withdraw."

"But if we insist on fighting, without adequate preparation, our chances of winning are too low. Even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory."

Xun You looked at Dong Yu with a gloomy expression and gave him a reminder.

"No!"

"Give them an inch and they'll take a foot!"

"Since they want to fight, I will fight them!"

"There are no cowards in the Xiliang Army!"

Dong Yuhu's eyes widened and he shouted loudly.

"I am willing to fight to the death with my lord!"

The seven generals, Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Wen Pin, Huang Zhong and Li Tong, all started shouting angrily.

Anyway, the generals don't mind watching the fun.

There is no merit to be gained without fighting.

Now that Yuan Shu has taken the initiative to declare war, the generals are completely excited.

Let’s fight. How can they get rich without fighting?

"Since we are going to fight, we must be clear about the forces we control so that we can make effective deployments."

Xun You spoke with a serious expression.

"There are a total of 10,000 infantrymen in the Nanyang military camp, and the loss of 3,000 Flying Bear troops is negligible."

Dong Yu looked at Xun You and spoke.

"The 1,500 men under my command are all elite, and their training in the past has been in accordance with military rules."

Li Tong spoke decisively, saying that the 1,500 brothers under his command from Tongtian Village could join the battle.

"My lord, although we have surrendered over 5,000 bandits, they are no match for us."

Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Wen Pin and others spoke at the same time.

War is not about numbers; sometimes having more people is not necessarily a good thing.

Like ordinary bandits, their fighting power is not only low, but their willpower is also extremely poor.

The slightest casualty will cause them to collapse, and other soldiers will be implicated.

"Then let's go with more than 10,000 people."

"Youwei, send someone to inform your uncle and have him send all the food and bandits back to Chang'an."

"Let's go to Yingchuan and meet Yuan Shu's men."

Dong Yu looked at Zhang Xiu and gave the order.

"The last general takes command!"

Zhang Xiu bowed, clasped his hands together, and strode away.

During this march, Dong Yu would lead his troops through Bowangpo, then pass through Ye County, Kunyang, and then enter Yingchuan.

Guo Fan was a general in the Western Liang army, and he had more than 10,000 elite Western Liang soldiers under his command. Dong Yu would naturally not let them fend for themselves just because the journey was dangerous.

If this is the case, who would dare to work for him in the future?

I'm afraid that if they encounter any problems, they will lead their troops to surrender in order to save their lives and property.

Guo Fan’s situation was one reason, and the other was that Dong Yu was not someone who liked to suffer losses.

Since Yuan Shu felt that the Xiliang Army could be bullied at will, he would let Yuan Shu know who the real tiger was.

"My lord, this won't work. We've already covered a hundred miles today, and the soldiers can't hold on any longer. Even if we reach Yingchuan in this state, we won't be able to fight anymore."

Wen Pin reminded with a worried look on his face.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. The enemy will surely calculate our marching time. If we march according to plan, we will be ambushed by the enemy."

"Only by disrupting their deployment can we seize the initiative."

"Continue marching, another ten miles, and we'll reach Ye County before dark!"

Dong Yu galloped on his horse and shouted orders.

Upon hearing this, Wen Pin said nothing more, but immediately went to pass the order, giving the soldiers hope of rest.

Forced marches were not uncommon in ancient times.
