Chapter 359: Eight Thousand Soldiers and Horses

Three days later, the news of the defeat of the vanguard army of the Jingzhou army on the Yingchuan battlefield reached Chenliu County, and Liang Gang was overjoyed.

The defeat of the Jingzhou vanguard army also made Liang Gang feel a lot more at ease, as a general under Yuan Shu's account, Liang Gang naturally did not want Yuan Shu to decline after the defeat of the Xuzhou war.

Now the situation under Yuan Shu's rule is slightly complicated because of the defeat on the battlefield in Xuzhou, but Yuan Shu's victory in the Jingzhou army will be a great encouragement to the generals and officials under the army, so that they can see that even if they fail on the battlefield in Xuzhou, the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command are not comparable to the Jingzhou army.

In fact, Liang Gang also knew that the reason for the victory in this battle had a lot to do with the participation of the Hun cavalry, not relying on Yuan Shu's own strength, but as long as it was a victory, it was enough.

The defeat of the war requires victory to boost the morale of the officers and men in the army.

Just after the news of the defeat of the Jingzhou army came, the Yanzhou army approached the city, and the 8,000 army set up a position outside the city, which was the largest number of soldiers that Yanzhou could mobilize at present.

When the Yanzhou army arrived, the soldiers in the city were panicked, and the army outside the city was densely packed, which had a big impact on them, and the loss of Jiyin County made the officers and soldiers in the army have some fear of the Yanzhou army, and no one wanted to meet the Yanzhou army on the battlefield at such a time.

Liang Gang saw the performance of the generals in the army, he was furious, usually these generals boasted of their courage in front of them, but they didn't expect that at the critical moment, they would be like this, after some scolding, although Liang Gang's mood was much better, it was inevitable that he would be a little dignified.

"Generals, although the Yanzhou army is close to the city, the Yanzhou army is no more than 10,000 people at most, and the defenders in the city have more than 6,000 people, can't they hold the attack of the 10,000 Yanzhou army with a force of more than 6,000 people?" Liang Gang said.

When the generals in the army heard this, they were relieved.

"Although Lu Bu said that he won the victory on the battlefield in Xuzhou, but the strength of the lord is unfathomable, Lu Bu took Jiyin County by luck, and thought that he could sweep Yanzhou, he would have led you and others, let Lu Bu see, what is called an elite man, let Lu Bu pay a heavy price when attacking Chen Liu." Liang Gang said in a deep voice.

Many generals have expressed their positions, and it is unknown what kind of thoughts they have in their hearts.

Liang Gang also has a certain understanding of the thoughts of the generals in the army, at this time, the officers and men in the army have a deep fear of Lu Bu, mainly due to Lu Bu's victory on the battlefield in Xuzhou, if he can give Lu Bu a lesson when Lu Bu leads the army to attack the city, it will definitely make the officers and soldiers in the army regain their previous confidence again, so that they will not be so panicked when facing the attack of the Yanzhou army.

Liang Gang is proud, and so are the soldiers under Yuan Shu's account, but their pride was temporarily suppressed after the victory of the Xuzhou army, which does not mean that Liang Gang has no confidence to defeat Lu Bu.

If Liang Gang can defeat Lu Bu, he will inevitably be famous all over the world, and he will become a pivotal general under Yuan Shu's account in one fell swoop, such a temptation is still very big for Liang Gang.

Outside the city, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao were also a little confused, and the attack on Jiyin County was completely due to Liang Xu's unpreparedness, and they were able to break through the city, but Lu Bu led the Yanzhou army to Chenliu with such fanfare, although it had a certain impact on Chenliu's defenders in terms of momentum, and the difficulty of breaking through Chenliu could be imagined.

Chenliu City is the county governance of Chenliu County, not to mention the height of the city and the depth of the pool, it is categorically not something that thousands of soldiers and horses can capture.

The art of war is cloudy, and ten rules surround it, and the army under Lu Bu is only 8,000 people at this time.

8,000 people attacking a city defended by more than 6,000 people, the difficulty of which can be imagined, but before the Yanzhou army attacked Jiyin County, Lu Bu had already claimed that there would be a way to break through Chenliu County, although Guo Jia and Zhang Liao did not understand what kind of means Lu Bu would have, they could only choose to believe it for the time being.

Guo Jia keenly felt that something was wrong from Xu Chu's body, it is said that a normal general will always have some doubts after learning that the monarch has such an order, why Xu Chu is full of confidence, as if the defenders in the city are not worth mentioning at all.

Guo Jia wanted to ask Xu Chu for news, but Xu Chu's tone was very strict, saying that he didn't know anything about the attack on Chen Liu.

Lu Bu naturally heard the discussion of the generals in the army, and led the army to Chenliu County, Lu Bu naturally had confidence, and the source of confidence came from gunpowder, with the help of gunpowder, the Yanzhou army was able to ignore the obstruction of the city gate.

When Chen Liu's defenders lost the advantage of the city, would they be able to stop the imposing Yanzhou army?

Momentum is such a thing, it is difficult to say clearly, but when the officers and soldiers in the army have won one war after another, the momentum in the army will definitely be more aggressive, the current Yanzhou army has just won the victory, that is to say, as long as Chen Liu's defenders lose the city gate, ninety percent of the defeats are Liang Gang.

On the way to Chen Liu, Lu Bu also had a certain understanding of Liang Gang, and in terms of the ability to lead troops to fight, it was definitely not comparable to Yuan Xu, and Liang Gang had a lot of prestige in the army, which also determined how difficult it is to break through the city openly, I am afraid that it will take a certain amount of time to mobilize 50,000 troops to come.

Judging from the performance of the defenders in the city, it is still good, but these are not what Lu Bu is most concerned about, what he needs is to directly seize control of the city gate, and even if Liang Gang has the ability to reach the sky, he can only bear defeat.

When the Xuzhou army fought against Yuan Shu, it can be said that it paid a heavy price, which was the victory, but the benefits of victory are also obvious, especially when Lu Bu led the army to appear outside the city, it was a great deterrent to the soldiers in the city, Lu Bu's prestige was too high, they must be more cautious in the face of Lu Bu, once they offended Lu Bu, or if they encountered Lu Bu on the frontal battlefield, there would inevitably be many dangers.

"Lord, there is news from Xizuo, the defenders in the city are waiting for them, and Liang Gang has replaced the generals guarding the city gate with trusted generals." Guo Jiadao.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Ben Hou knows what Feng Xiao is worried about, Ben Hou breaks through Chen Liu, it doesn't necessarily have to be combined with the outside, can't the army enter the city directly?" ”
