Chapter 783: Scout Confrontation
When the princes were fighting against other parties, they always attached great importance to the matter of intelligence, and with the right information, they could avoid the officers and soldiers in the army from paying more costs in the war.
Lu Bu has led the troops to fight for many years, and naturally has a great demand for the situation on the battlefield.
The cavalry of the cavalry battalion is naturally at ease when it comes to probing these situations.
And on the battlefield, there is also a special team active, that is, Wang Cheng commands the wolf tooth team.
The wolf tooth team has been formed for a long time, and it is unique in terms of intelligence exploration, especially for the exploration of the situation on the battlefield, even if it is a swordsman under Wang Yue's command, there is a big gap compared with these people.
The wolf tooth team, although the number of soldiers is not much, can play a great role in the war, all along, Lu Bu is extremely concerned about the growth of the wolf tooth team, and the soldiers of the wolf tooth team are also extremely sophisticated.
The situation on the battlefield is too important for the operation of the army, and Lu Bu knows the truth in this regard, so he has done enough work in the investigation of the battlefield situation before the war begins.
The news that the wolf's tooth team came back one after another made Lu Bu's brows furrow slightly, and at present, Yuan Shu's army is gradually approaching Xiangxian, which is also a normal thing.
At this time, Yuan Shu must have sensed the intention of the Xuzhou army, and the war will be resolved in Peiguo, which will be more helpful for the stability of Xuzhou, and as long as Yuan Shu can be dragged down, the rear will be stabilized.
The existence of Yuan Shu is very attractive to the family of Xuzhou, if the influence of Yuan Shu cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, it is not easy to win from this war.
Yuan Shu can get to the current position among the princes, there must be something unique, not to mention the rest, just Yuan Shu's prestige among the wealthy families is not comparable to ordinary princes, when ordinary princes face the attack of Yuan Shu's army, the first thing to consider is the family under their rule, what kind of attitude they will have when dealing with this war.
Lu Bu is an outlier among the princes, and when facing war, he has absolute command power over the officers and soldiers in the army, which makes Lu Bu have more means to deal with it in the face of war, even if the situation on the battlefield is critical, Lu Bu can also solve it well with his own means.
It will be difficult, but not impossible, to win this encounter.
Besides, on the battlefield, it is not only the numerical superiority of soldiers that can be won, but there are many wars in which fewer can win more.
Moreover, after the Xuzhou army has undergone strict training, as long as they can grow in this confrontation, they will be able to do more in the next war, and any prince cannot maintain a calm attitude when facing Lu Bu.
Even a powerful prince like Yuan Shu was defeated in the hands of Lu Bu at the beginning, but it had a great impact on Yuan Shu, and even many officials under his rule were skeptical about this war.
It's not that Yuan Shu's strength is not strong enough, but that their opponents are too strong in terms of the strength of the army under their command.
"Wenhe, it seems that Yuan Shu has made a lot of progress this time, and he has already sent scouts to investigate the situation in Xiangxian." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, "In this way, the scouts of our army have already clashed with the scouts of the enemy army?" ”
Lu Bu nodded and said: "Before the war starts completely, it is very necessary to find out the situation of the other party as much as possible, no matter what, Yuan Shu is also a prince, and there are many strategists under his command, and they know what kind of use it is after having a better understanding of the situation on the battlefield." ”
"With Yuan Shu's strength, even if he has a cavalry team under his command, it is not so simple to explore the situation of our army on the battlefield." Jia Xu said.
For the cavalry in the Xuzhou army, Jia Xu has enough confidence, these cavalry is the essence of the Xuzhou army, when fighting the enemy, just by relying on the impact of the cavalry, the enemy can pay a heavy price in the war.
The cavalry team is what Lu Bu is most proud of, and maintaining the normal operation of a cavalry is not something that ordinary princes can imagine.
If the princes want to benefit from the war, they must have a greater deed, and it is reasonable to have more investment in scouting.
The information obtained by the scout team is of great help to the army in controlling the situation on the battlefield.
"How's the loss?" Jia Xu asked.
Lu Bu said proudly: "Our army scouts lost one person, and the enemy scouts lost five people. ”
"Our cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and the enemy cannot stop it." Jia Xu praised.
The cavalry in the Xuzhou army has always been the existence of the princes, and it is quite difficult for the princes to create an elite cavalry, just the excellent war horses are enough to make many princes anxious.
Lu Bu is rich and rich, which is not comparable to other princes.
The war horses equipped by the cavalry in the Xuzhou army are the most sophisticated war horses, and these war horses are from outside the Saiwai.
When the cavalry's horses are more sophisticated, it will be of great help to their performance in war, and they can even form an absolute suppression of the enemy army in terms of speed.
The faster the horse, the greater the impact, and the more power the cavalry can use.
"But the scouts came back with very bad news, that is, the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command was also equipped with stirrups." Lu Budao.
Jia Xu nodded, after the cavalry is equipped with stirrups, the improvement of combat effectiveness is extremely obvious, and it is unrealistic to want to keep the secret of the stirrups of the cavalry, who can be sure that their own cavalry will not have any losses on the battlefield.
As long as there is a loss of cavalry on the battlefield, the enemy can observe the difference in this regard according to the horses of their own side.
However, the cavalry in the Xuzhou army, after being equipped with stirrups, has improved its strength, and it is not something that the cavalry under the command of other princes can deal with.
The existence of stirrups is of great help to the cavalry, but what can really bring damage to the enemy in the war still depends on the performance of the officers and soldiers on the battlefield, not that after the stirrup, the cavalry can have a more prominent performance on the battlefield.
The existence of stirrups is to help the cavalry to better stabilize their body on the war horse, and help them to attack the enemy more conveniently.
