The existence of Lu Bu had already had a great impact on Yuan Shu, if not, Yuan Shu would not have attacked Lu Bu so eagerly.

When attacking Xuzhou, we must be cautious. The combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army is not comparable to that of ordinary troops. From the usual treatment of Xuzhou army officers and soldiers, we can better see the problem in this regard.

Chapter 790 Didn't You Say Cavalry Can Be Reused?

There is also a big gap between the two sides in terms of food, grass, and supplies. Now the army under Lu Bu's command is fighting on two fronts, but under Lu Bu's rule, there are many hoards of food, grass, and supplies, which provides more for the Xuzhou army to fight. much help.

Any prince must be cautious when facing Lu Bu, because Lu Bu's famous reputation among the princes is based on the victory in battles.

When dealing with Lu Bu, if there is not enough caution, there will be more problems.

War, for the princes, is an extremely important thing in itself. When dealing with these wars, one must be cautious, and then be cautious, because some small mistakes may have an impact on the entire battlefield .

Lv Bu has an arrogant attitude when dealing with the princes. This is because Lv Bu has corresponding strength and his own pride. Even in the face of the enemy's attack, Lv Bu can still deal with it.

Victory in the war will make other princes feel troublesome, but after such a thing is in the hands of Lu Bu, it gives people a completely different feeling, as if there is no enemy that Lu Bu cannot defeat.

Dealing with such an enemy requires a more cautious attitude.

It is an indisputable fact that the scouts among the cavalry are the elite among the cavalry, and the same thing applies to the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command.

The most elite cavalry forces from both sides encountered each other while investigating the situation on the battlefield. As a result, Yuan Shu paid a high price. The things in this are worth pondering.

Since the failure of the last war, Yuan Shu returned to the rule, and he has paid a lot of attention to the improvement of the strength of the army.

There are only five thousand cavalry troops under his command. In order to form these cavalry troops, Yuan Shu also spent a lot of materials and money. If the cavalry troops cannot perform satisfactorily on the battlefield, it will be the most dangerous.

Lu Bu's performance on the battlefield made more princes afraid and made them understand how difficult it is to win victory from Lu Bu.

When the war begins, how many choices can the soldiers have? If they can win the war, it is good, if not, there will be more losses in the war.

"Command Zhang Xun to come here." Yuan Shu said in a low voice.

Zhang Xun is a general trusted by Yuan Shu. He is currently in command of the cavalry. Yuan Shu has a lot of expectations for how the cavalry will perform in the war. If you can't have outstanding performance on the battlefield, this is the most depressing thing.

Zhang Xun was clearly aware of the loss of the scouts. After receiving Yuan Shu's order, he knew that this incident had attracted Yuan Shu's attention.

There are elite cavalry forces in the Xuzhou army. If the two sides develop, their own cavalry cannot effectively block the Xuzhou cavalry, and the war will be even more unfavorable to Yuan Shu.

Zhang Xun is an ambitious general. He not only wants to stop the cavalry of the Xuzhou army, but also wants to defeat the cavalry of Xuzhou. He stepped on the corpse of the cavalry of Xuzhou to let the world know that there are elite soldiers under Yuan Shu's command. of cavalry force.

Usually, in terms of cavalry training, Zhang Xun is also doing his best, but judging from the current situation, after the encounter between his own cavalry and Xuzhou cavalry, the performance is not satisfactory.

The Xuzhou scouts showed shocking strength on the battlefield. It seems that it is not a small difficulty to win the victory from the Xuzhou cavalry.

"The general has seen the lord." Zhang Xun clasped his fists and said.

Yuan Shu said: "The general heard that our army's cavalry scouts suffered a lot of damage?"

Zhang Xun said: "My lord, after our army's cavalry scouts encountered the enemy's cavalry scouts, there was indeed a lot of losses. The enemy's cavalry scouts are extremely elite. It is not comparable to our army.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xun also has a lot of helplessness in his heart. The cavalry confrontation between the two sides on the battlefield, the excellent equipment, and the excellent horses are very important. If it is about the horses

Yuan Shu said in a slightly low voice: "I was supposed to let you be in charge of cavalry training, didn't you say that cavalry can be reused?"

Seeing Yuan Shu's face turned down, Zhang Xun didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly said: "My lord, if our army's cavalry confronts the Xuzhou army head-on, it will definitely not be a problem. The key is the elite cavalry strength of the Xuzhou army, not me. The military can compare."

After hearing Zhang Xun's explanation, Yuan Shu's face looked better. If his own army did not do more when facing the enemy, this operation can only be said to be a failure, and such a failure is very important. It was what Yuan Shu wanted to see.

After leading the army to attack Xuzhou and defeating Lu Bu, there were so many jokes among the princes. Now it is time to get back what was lost in the past, and even Liu Biao, who is powerful among the princes, was dragged into the water in order to fight against Lu Bu. .

If under such an advantage, he still can't win against Lu Bu, Yuan Shu will become a laughing stock among the princes. It is predictable what the princes will say when they talk about him in the future.

As a noble member of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu had never suffered such humiliation, and he had to win the battle against Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu, a common man, could understand that it was impossible for him to benefit from him.

"No matter what method you use, you must contain the Xuzhou army's scouts. If the enemy's scouts are too aggressive, it will be very harmful to our army." Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xun clasped his fists and said that his own cavalry has a certain advantage over the cavalry of the Xuzhou Army in terms of numbers. In this way, the current situation will be of great help to the overall battle of the army after the war begins.

Among the lords, Lu Bu is a powerful existence. The previous wars have well demonstrated what Lu Bu has done in battle. It is actually very difficult to win victory from such lords. of.

If it weren't for Yuan Shu's superiority in military strength, he wouldn't have had enough confidence in the battle against Lu Bu.

"General Zhang, now is the critical moment for our army to break through the enemy army. As long as we can restrain the enemy's scouts, with our army's strength, it is no problem to cross the battlefield. When we defeat Lu Bu, what kind of impact will it have? You must be clear that you are a general I trust, and at this moment, you have to perform well, otherwise it will be hard for me to reward you for your merits." Yuan Shu said meaningfully.

Chapter 791 Doesn't seem to happen overnight

It is very necessary to let the generals under his command feel the majesty of the monarch, and at the same time let the generals under his command see hope after hard work. As a prince, Yuan Shu still has certain means for this aspect.

Zhang Xun clasped his fists and said, "My lord, don't worry, the lowly position will definitely make the scouts of the Xuzhou Army dare not act presumptuously."

Zhang Xun did not dare to say that the scouts of the Xuzhou army were wiped out. The cavalry in the Xuzhou army are equipped with extremely well-equipped horses. Their speed on the battlefield cannot be compared with that of their own cavalry. Provides great difficulty.

Zhang Xun thought it was possible to prevent the enemy's scouts from acting rashly.

Currently under Yuan Shu's command, the cavalry is the most elite force, and the generals in the army naturally have a lot of yearning for the commander of the cavalry.

The commander of the cavalry fell to Zhang Xun, and the generals in the army had no objection, but if Zhang Xun did not have more credit for commanding the cavalry, other generals would find a chance to speak.

The role that cavalry can play on the battlefield is really too great. If you have a cavalry team in hand, why worry about not being able to make contributions on the battlefield.

Originally, Ji Ling had an important position under Yuan Shu's command, but suffered successive losses in Lu Bu's hands, and now his prestige in the army has been greatly reduced.

This is also what annoys Ji Ling the most. He is the number one general under Yuan Shu's tent, and he is outstanding in martial arts. However, after encountering Lu Bu, many things have become difficult for him, the number one general.

The attack on Xuzhou this time is also a good opportunity for Ji Ling to make contributions. He must seize the opportunity to make contributions during the attack on Xuzhou this time, so that the enemy can see more. If he wants to win from him, it is How difficult.

With the gradual approach of soldiers and horses from both sides, hand-to-hand combat will soon be realized.

In fact, the monarchs of both sides were extremely cautious when facing this battle. The Xuzhou army was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shu had a lot of fear of Lu Bu. If he rushed into the army, he was afraid of being plotted by Lu Bu.

It can be seen from previous wars that Lu Bu is not only a military general, but also a military general with resourcefulness. He has people like Jia Xu to help him, so he still needs to be more careful on the battlefield.

It is very necessary for the two armies to investigate each other before the battle. This will facilitate the general in the army to have a better understanding and control of the enemy's situation, and to have more responses after the war begins.

It is not an easy task to win a confrontation, especially in the face of powerful princes like Lu Bu, if there are problems in some details, it may bring the Xuzhou army's attack .

In the hands of Lu Bu, there is an elite cavalry force, and this cavalry can pose a great threat to Yuan Shu. Not to mention Yuan Shu, even other princes must be cautious when facing the Xiaoqi Battalion , This is the elite cavalry force following Lu Bu, and has made great achievements on the battlefield.

After Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou before, the reason why he was able to quickly open up the situation in Xuzhou was because of this elite force.

The current stability and development of Xuzhou has a lot to do with the cavalry forces under Lu Bu's command.

Although the feudal lords had a lot of scolding words against Lu Bu, they were still quite afraid of the Xiaoqi Battalion under Lu Bu's command. This is the elite cavalry force that followed Lu Bu. Looking at the world, I am afraid that only the Xiaoqi Battalion can be compared with the Xiaoqi Battalion. Baima Yi, under Gongsun Zan's command, obeyed.

When the princes developed their strength, they attached great importance to the development of the cavalry under their command, but they were obviously not qualified to be compared with the Xuzhou Army in terms of cavalry training.

The Xuzhou Army has unique features when training cavalry. The cavalry trained by the Xuzhou Army seems to be more ferocious on the battlefield.

The current situation in the Han Dynasty is relatively chaotic. When the princes are developing their own strength, they also pay a lot of attention to the training of cavalry, but it is not easy to obtain an elite cavalry force.

Just buying war horses is enough to cause headaches for more princes.

It is not as simple as imagined to obtain excellent war horses. The cavalry under Lu Bu's command has a strong combat effectiveness, which has a lot to do with the excellent war horses in the army.

Under such circumstances, in fact, many princes also formed cavalry in the army. They wanted to improve their own strength in this way. force.

Lu Bu's success in Xuzhou has shown the princes that as long as they have enough strength in their hands, they can occupy a more important weight among the princes.

After Zhang Xun left, he secretly arranged to deal with the Xuzhou cavalry. The Xuzhou cavalry was so arrogant on the battlefield. If they could not teach the Xuzhou cavalry some lessons, it would not be a simple matter to have an explanation from Yuan Shu.

Being able to appoint a general to command the cavalry for Yuan Shu, what Zhang Xun could feel was the gaze from behind. Being able to command a cavalry team was something that many generals dreamed of.

After commanding the cavalry, it is easier to make contributions. Even if the situation on the battlefield is urgent, the cavalry can quickly evacuate with the speed.

On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. Even powerful generals cannot guarantee that they will survive the war. If there are more powerful forces around them, the situation will be very different. At that time, the generals in the army , With elite soldiers, you can get more opportunities on the battlefield.

The news from the scouts made Zhang Xun feel rather dignified. The scouts on both sides have already reached four to one in terms of damage. That is to say, if an enemy scout dies, his own side will die four People, this is a relatively optimistic estimate.

In fact, when fighting alone, the scouts of one's own side did not take advantage of the slightest.

The scouts of the Xuzhou Army are not only superb in riding skills, but also in archery. The most important things for cavalry are riding and archery.

After having stirrups, the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command has made great progress in riding skills, but it seems that it will not happen overnight if they want to compare with the cavalry of Xuzhou Army in archery.

This also has a lot to do with the formation of the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command not long ago. The cavalry of the Xuzhou Army have experienced the flames of war and have come out of the war. Such cavalry is not our own in terms of combat experience. cavalry can be compared. ,

Chapter 792

On the battlefield, combat experience has a great impact on the confrontation of an army. If there is no corresponding means when dealing with the enemy's attack, it is almost impossible to win on the battlefield. possible things.

The Xuzhou Army is a team that has experienced wars, and their abilities shown in the confrontations are not weak.

Facing such a cavalry team, Zhang Xun was under a lot of pressure.

"Order the scout team, send more people, one team of ten, to inquire about the enemy's situation, and don't be soft-hearted after encountering the scouts of the Xuzhou Army." Zhang Xun ordered.

If fighting alone, there is indeed a certain gap in strength between the scouts of the Xuzhou Army. The way Zhang Xun came up with was to increase the number of scouts. In this way, there will be corresponding means when dealing with the enemy's attack up.

Even if the scouts of the Xuzhou cavalry are strong, if one person doesn't want to, he can use two, and if two can't, he can use five. It can always be solved. Anyway, Yuan Shu has an advantage in strength when facing Lu Bu. These Xuzhou army's scouts Even if the scouts came to the vicinity of Sui County, they would not dare to be presumptuous, otherwise the mobilization of troops under Yuan Shu's command would be enough to make Xuzhou's scouts pay a heavy price.

This is the advantage in exchange for the superiority in military strength. Zhang Xun is quite satisfied with the current situation.

This battle is of great significance to Yuan Shu. If the cavalry team invested heavily fails to make a contribution on the battlefield, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will say something about it.

Zhang Xun, as a general trusted by Yuan Shu, attaches great importance to this aspect. Leading the cavalry team will have greater achievements on the battlefield. It is best to be able to excel in the battle against the Xuzhou cavalry. In this way, he The position under Yuan Shu's command will be more stable.

Before Ji Ling suffered a lot from Lu Bu's hands, such things will make Zhang Xun more cautious. As a powerful prince, Lu Bu has elite troops under his command. Judging from past events, Not only the power on the surface, but also the power controlled by Lu Bu in the dark is extremely terrifying

When fighting against Lu Bu, the cavalry team had an excellent performance, Zhang Xun will have more say in the army in the future, even if Ji Ling is dissatisfied in this regard, there is nothing he can do about it.

As a general in the army, the most important thing is how much credit you have when fighting against the enemy. If you don't have enough credit, even if you reach a high position, you can't say that your position is stable.

It has to be said that Zhang Xun's transfer this time caused the Xuzhou Army's scouts to suffer a lot. Originally, when the scouts were in action, there were not many scouts. After Zhang Xun's adjustment, the Xuzhou Army's scouts needed more The number of enemy scouts we face is greatly increased, and the difficulty will naturally be greater.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, even if the Xuzhou cavalry is far superior to the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command, when the number of scouts under Yuan Shu's command increases, it will be extremely difficult for the scouts of the Xuzhou army to do more. of.

Even under such conditions, the scouts of the Xuzhou Army still showed shocking combat effectiveness. During the confrontation, they taught Yuan Shu's scouts a hard lesson.

However, the current situation has finally improved. Although the loss of scouts on both sides is one to two, in general, the arrogance of the Xuzhou army's scouts has been curbed.

The scout's battlefield is full of dangers, especially when scouting for news, if one is not careful, one's life will be in danger.

Therefore, when selecting scouts, the generals in the army are more cautious, to ensure that these cavalry can bring back more useful information while protecting themselves.

The confrontation between the scout teams was the tacit consent of the commanders of both sides. It would be the most strange thing if the armies of the two sides faced each other like this.

However, the scouts of the Xuzhou Army had a certain advantage, which made Lu Bu feel more at ease.

Judging from the news uploaded from the battlefield, after Yuan Shu failed in the past, he attached great importance to the development of cavalry strength. Now the number of cavalry under his command is larger than that of the Xuzhou Army cavalry. Judging from the situation of the confrontation, they are still relatively elite. of.

However, if Yuan Shu thought that he could win against the cavalry of the Xuzhou army only by relying on the superiority in the number of cavalry, that would be his biggest mistake.

Xuzhou cavalry, that is the cavalry team that came out of the war, the strength is superb, it is not comparable to ordinary troops, they have excellent performance on the battlefield, no matter how strong the enemy is, when facing them Sometimes, after all, there are shortcomings.

It was by virtue of the strength of the elite cavalry that Lu Bu was able to gradually gain a firm foothold among the princes, and he had a sharp response to the provocations of other princes.

And Lu Bu's success among the princes is also envied by many people. If he can have an elite cavalry force, he will pay great attention to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army.

It is a good idea to form a cavalry team. The key is to form an elite cavalry team. It is not a matter of one day. The most important way to achieve growth in the true sense is war. Only by performing better in war can one be more sophisticated.

The cavalry team is the treasure of the princes, and this kind of thing is no exception for Lu Bu.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yanzhou was also facing a war, if Lu Bu mobilized the cavalry in the Yanzhou army, the number of cavalry alone would have reached [-], and they would not be invincible even if the enemy had a large number of troops. , How effective can it be in the face of cavalry attacks?

On the battlefield, infantry are the most feared when facing cavalry. They have no more fighting power in front of cavalry. Even pikemen will have a certain impact on the safety of cavalry. When the enemy's After the number of cavalry reaches a certain level, it is also a deadly threat to pikemen.

When the cavalry is charging, the most important offensive force is the impact of the horse. Even if the cavalry on the horse is killed, the impact of the horse can still make the enemy pay a heavy price.

Whether it is necessary or not, when facing the enemy's cavalry attack, it is best to use cavalry to contain it, or have long-range offensive means to attack.

Chapter 793 Just lure them over

Bows and crossbows pose a great threat to the cavalry. If the archers are excellent, they can cause heavy damage to the enemy's cavalry.
