Chapter 75: Defeat and Escape

"Okay! Cough!" Zhang Cheng cleared his throat and said, "I announce now: About this point! Those who have not corrected the past, but if there are any offenders, I will strictly deal with it. Those who are serious and guilty will be punished publicly. Those who are serious and punished will be punished without any quarrels!" Zhang Cheng said with a murderous intent, his eyes were full of evil, and the civil and military officials were shocked and they couldn't help but bow to him. In fact, Zhang Cheng is a good actor, and his acting is very realistic!

Many officials were frightened and couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat. Many of them were Zhang Cheng's confidants, and they have always done such shameful things.

His army was so corrupt that he was confused and profit-oriented. He was traitorous and committed all kinds of evil. How could Zhang Cheng not know? In fact, he was like this.

"Okay! Lian Zhan, are you ready for the meal? Just talk nonsense here? I have promised you to reorganize the army! You can leave! Why do you have to be unable to get along with me?" Zhang Cheng was very angry. He didn't want to offend Lian Po for the time being, after all, he still needed Lian Po's help in this battle.

"Since the marshal is willing to govern the army, then Lian Zhan will go on!" Lian Zhan smiled happily. Although Zhang Cheng did not adopt his suggestions, he promised to rectify the army. This was not in vain.

Next, Zhang Cheng personally led an army of 200,000 to launch a large-scale attack on the Jurchens East Army. He wanted to directly use the army to suppress the siege of the Turkic Kyoto. The Turkic army surrounding the Turkic was divided into four routes, with 50,000 people each without roads. Ignorance, it was really extremely ignorant! Zhang Cheng, a small man born in the market, finally showed his true nature at this moment. In his opinion, war seemed to be equivalent to a gangster fight on the street. Both sides held watermelon knives and chopped each other. Whoever had more people and whoever had a strong momentum would win.

During Zhang Cheng's days of military power, he acted as a mighty man, arrogant, and dreamed of making achievements. In fact, in his heart, he knew very well that he had just deceived the emperor's trust and a villain who pretended to be a tiger. His military command ability was also a mess, and it was not only that. In order to obtain all the military achievements, he actually wanted to capture the Jurchens alive! It was captured alive! Two hundred thousand people captured 50,000 people alive, and they could not hurt their lives, but also caught them alive! This was very difficult! You must know that the people arrested were Jurchens. They would rather die than let them be captured. Now the 200,000 troops in Zhouying were in trouble.

In Zhang Cheng's opinion, war means that whoever has more people can win. Can one of ten fights even one?

But war is definitely not a group fight, and there will be a steady victory for too many people. Moreover, the Jurchens also talk about tactics when fighting. They occasionally attack halfway and attack front and back.

This war fully reflects the strength of the Jurchen army, because the Zhou army was prepared and received the full support of the generals Lian Po, Bai Qi and Wang Jian who guarded the frontier. But even in this case, the Zhou army was still no match for the Jurchen army.

Military command is like a pyramid. The number of people commanded is proportional to the commander's command ability. The more people commanded, the higher the requirements for ability. Zhang Cheng's stupid command directly ruined the army of 200,000! However, Zhang Cheng's command ability is too bad.

Under the guidance of this idiot, the 200,000 army advanced towards the Turks along the vestibule and other places, and what was waiting for them in front was the trap of death!

But he never thought that the Jurchens were extremely fierce. Faced with Zhang Cheng's massive offensive, they did not care about the Turkic army that took the opportunity to counterattack, he did not know that the more he was in desperate situation, the more brave the Jurchens were. They did not notify the other three armies and directly counterattacked the Zhou army!

The 200,000 army went to capture 50,000 people alive. Their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Jurchens, so how could they talk about capturing them alive? The Jurchens were extremely fierce. They waved their swords and slashed them directly in the face of Zhou army. One by one, and the commander of the Zhou army couldn't do it at first sight. Why did they capture them alive? After thinking about it, they hurried back to notify Zhang Cheng.

At this time, Zhang Cheng held a banquet in the camp. He was preparing to hold a celebration for the Zhou army who returned victoriously. In his opinion, one thousand percent of the first battle would win, which was no suspense, but the next commander's return broke his fantasy!

"Master! The Jurchens successfully resisted the large-scale attack of our army, and even fought back!"

"What?! Can't you beat? Two hundred thousand people fight 50,000? Do they have reinforcements coming?" Zhang Cheng's scalp was a little numb. He thought the commander would come to report the news of the victory. "How many reinforcements are there? Do you need to mobilize troops?"

"You are the Marshal, they have no reinforcements, only 50,000 people, but if you want us to capture them alive, their combat power is really too strong. We are not their opponents at all! I hope the Marshal changes his tactics!"

"Okay! Change it if you change it! Go and send the order!" Zhang Cheng was completely stunned. This was different from what he expected!

The order changed, but this did not change the final fate of Zhou army!

Poor that the 200,000 Zhou army had not been on the battlefield for many years. Faced with the counterattack of the Jurchens who were like wolves and tigers, they were immediately defeated and fled. They collapsed completely. The 200,000 army was unorganized and everyone fled in scattered. No matter whether you are a general or an ordinary soldier, there is only one thing you can do - escape!

The 200,000 army collapsed and more than 20 generals died in battle. They shouldn't have died, but because of Zhang Cheng's stupidity, they ended up in the end.

In terms of property, more than 100,000 horses, armor, equipment and supplies were all obtained by the Jurchens! More than ten years of accumulation were wiped out.

The commander fled back with five thousand people, leaving only five thousand people.

Five thousand people ran back covered in blood, "Marson! We were defeated! Only five thousand left in 200,000 people, Marshal! What should we do next?"

"What?!" Zhang Cheng was frightened, "Impossible! Impossible! Two hundred thousand people beat 50,000 people? Is it defeated? How is this possible? Impossible! Impossible!"

After receiving the first news of the defeat of the army, Zhang Cheng obviously did not believe it. He couldn't figure out where he made the mistake and why he was defeated? He was naturally unwilling to give up. The 200,000 army was destroyed, just because of his wrong command.

"What should we do? Why don't we withdraw our troops?"

What to do? What to do now? The first stop was defeated by the enemy, and 50,000 people defeated 200,000 people. This is unscientific! The 200,000 army was over, just go back like this?

"We cannot retreat! We must not retreat! We cannot rescue this way. Don't we still have 100,000 people? Moreover, there are 100,000 troops on the frontier, and we still have 200,000 people. We must turn defeat into victory! Yes! Turn defeat into victory!" Zhang Cheng clenched his fists,
Chapter completed!
