Chapter 120: Heart Attack Strategy

"The last general is greedy for merit and has rushed forward. Please ask the general to kill him in order to correct military law!"

Although Lei Lan was able to escape death, he did not feel that the matter had been revealed.

So he deliberately carried the thorn stick on his back, prostrated himself on the ground, apologized to Zhang Yiping, and begged to behead himself.

The eight thousand soldiers and horses under his command were almost completely destroyed because of this rash attack on the camp. How could he still have the nerve to continue to lead troops? To continue to stay in this military camp?

The east has turned white, Zhang Yiping marched quickly, and after rescuing Lei Lan, he set up camp again.

He should be extremely tired, but he didn't sleep all night.

Zhang Yiping was dressed in armor and a cloth shawl, with his hands folded around his chest. His body was straight, his thick beard covered the marks on his face, and he kept his eyes closed.

He is used to thinking with his eyes closed.

After hearing that Lei Lan was willing to be punished and kill himself with a knife, Zhang Yiping slowly opened his eyes.

He held the scabbard and made one or two gestures on the ground.

"What is this word?"

"."

Lei Lan was immediately stunned, oh, you are finally willing to read? And you can also write?

let me see!

When he looked at it, he didn't know whether it was a calligraphy or a painting. Anyway, he couldn't see the correct shape.

Based on the shape, there were countless guesses in his mind. After thinking for a while, Lei Lan stammered and said:

"This is the word "bing"?"

Call it a "soldier", but it doesn't look like that.

Why is there a vertical line in the middle of the word "bing"?

Zhang Yiping nodded and said seriously:

"It is a "soldier", but it is not exactly a "soldier". As the saying goes, soldiers have no constant momentum and water has no constant shape. Naturally, this "soldier" has no formal shape."

Lei Lan just stayed where he was.

When Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and wanted to create books with the same text, he did not let General Zhang create characters. It was really a waste of talent.

There was no trace of shame on Zhang Yiping's face. He lightly erased the writing on the ground and said:

"You lost this battle, but you won the ambush of the Han army before."

"The merits outweigh the faults."

"If I had replaced my general, he would probably have been deceived, and the defeat in this battle would not be considered unfair."

Zhang Yiping paused, turned around and looked at Lei Lan, who was still kneeling, and said:

"Do you know why there are so many capable soldiers in the Han army?"

Lei Lan frowned. He thought about how to apologize all night, but he really didn't have time to reflect on why this battle was lost.

He always thought that he had done enough homework and mastered the number of combatable troops of the Han army, but he was defeated by an ambush that suddenly appeared in the Vung Tau camp.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that the number of ambushes was completely beyond his imagination.

Even if the group of Han troops defeated by his counter-ambush could quickly gather together and return to the main camp, there wouldn't be that many of them.

If there were not so many soldiers to fight, even if the Han Emperor guessed that he would attack the camp at night after defeating the ambush in Wutu Valley.

There are not enough soldiers and horses to ambush.

They lost because of this inexplicable number of soldiers and horses!

So Lei Lan asked tentatively:

"Is it possible that Gao Xiangguo's estimate was wrong, or that there was an omission in the frontline intelligence? Didn't the Han army only send 40,000 troops to attack?"

Zhang Yiping shook his head:

"There are indeed only 40,000. No matter how many troops there are, Qiongzhou alone cannot support the supply of food and grass."

"That's a poisonous insect??"

Lei Lan was secretly shocked. This was even more unbelievable than the Han army sending more troops!

"General Zhang, why are the Han troops not troubled by poisonous insects?"

"Even if the Han army prepared doctors and brought medicines in advance, it would be difficult to prepare antidote to the special poisonous insects in Jiaozhi in a short time."

"If there are only 40,000 soldiers and horses, there shouldn't be so many soldiers to fight at this time!"

Zhang Yiping lowered his body and removed the thorn sticks for Lei Lan:

"There are people in the Han army who have tasted hundreds of herbs."

"Use the herbs from Jiaozhi to treat the poisonous insects from Jiaozhi. You can catch them with your hands and cure the disease with the medicine."

hiss.

Lei Lan couldn't help but become anxious and said:

"There is such a miracle doctor in the Han army?!"

With such a miracle doctor accompanying the army, it would be impossible to use climate, poisonous insects, etc. to infect the Han army with diseases, weaken the Han army's combat power, or force the Han emperor to retreat!

Zhang Yiping's expression darkened and he shook his head.

Seeing that it was not a miracle doctor, Lei Lan breathed a sigh of relief and showed a little joy:

"Could it be that the Han Emperor forced the military doctors to taste herbs?"

"Or forcefully kidnap the surrounding people of our country to taste the herbs?"

"If this is the case, the morale of the Han army will be unstable, and the people of our country will inevitably increase resistance."

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was eager for success, but this time he was too anxious, leaving an opportunity for our army to take advantage of."

"Although the general was defeated in the end, the general can then use this to resist the Han army."

After Lei Lan finished speaking, he was even more overjoyed. The Han Emperor had miscalculated this time. He ignored the end and was bound to suffer chaos!

Zhang Yiping, on the other hand, had a sad look on his face and sighed:

"If this is true, the Han army would be much easier to deal with."

"But I will tell you the cause and effect from the Han soldiers you captured."

"The man who tasted the herbs was none other than the Han Emperor himself."

"Ah? Ah——!!"

Lei Lan knelt for too long. When he stood up, his blood supply was insufficient. He felt dizzy for a while. After hearing such shocking news, he immediately lost his footing and fell to the ground.

He was lying on the thorn tree and let out a shrill scream.

Zhang Yiping twitched the corner of his mouth, helped Lei Lan up, and then decisively pulled out the thorn stick still stuck in Lei Lan's back.

Lei Lan inhaled in pain, but at this time he was strong enough and did not scream anymore.

Instead, he fell into deep thought, how could there be such a lord in the world?

Not to mention the leader of the Han Dynasty, even a county magistrate would not be able to taste herbs just to cure his soldiers from contracting diseases, right?

But the Emperor of Han really did this. One can imagine how high the morale of the Han army would be when they saw this scene, and what kind of combat power they would have.

The Han army, which was already invincible, can now be directly judged as a battle between the two armies, and a frontal battle is basically out of the question.

Think again about your own king.

Our king is actually quite good at tasting Baixue.

Lei Lan shook his head, trying to get rid of the unreasonable feeling of disparity in his heart.

Zhang Yiping knew what Lei Lan was thinking, and he had thought about it too, so he patted Lei Lan on the shoulder and said:

"If you think about it this way, not only have you done nothing wrong, but you have made meritorious deeds."

"This trip has revealed the reality of the Han army."

"If you still look at the Han army the way you originally looked at sick soldiers, you will lose more than just the 8,000 men in your hands."

Zhang Yiping's military management was not particularly strict, and he was more or less particular about humaneness.

This is also a helpless move due to the national conditions of Cochin.

Unlike the Han Dynasty, the Jiaozhi Kingdom had no good promotion channels except for filial piety and integrity, as well as imperial examinations. Being an official relied solely on nepotism.

If he hadn't saved the county magistrate's life in his early years, no matter how capable he was, he would have been buried among the people.

With such national conditions here, it also led to the fact that when the DPRK came and went, there were only a few generals available.

First break off a Wu Tong, and then chop off a Lei Lan. If no one has any use for it, you can only use the wine bags and rice bags of those rich and tyrannical people.

With such a group of people, even if Zhang Yiping is an immortal, he can't fight.
