Chapter 782: Commander of the Three Thousand Strong Crossbow Army

Now that the army is mobilized, the intention of attacking Xuzhou is clearly revealed.

Not long after the Xuzhou army withdrew from the Liang State, Yuan Shu's army took over the Liang State, which was a great excitement for the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command, mainly because the Xuzhou Army had been too strong over the years, and it was difficult to get the benefits of the Xuzhou Army from the war.

Now that the Xuzhou army has directly let Liang Guo out, it shows that the Xuzhou army does not have enough confidence in dealing with this confrontation.

Yuan Shu was still very happy to do such a thing as sending soldiers and horses to take over the city, and it was best that Lu Bu could make greater concessions.

In fact, Yuan Shu had a lot of influence in Yuzhou, and it was not too difficult to attack Liang and seize Liang from the Xuzhou army.

At the critical moment, the Xuzhou army made concessions, which is also reasonable, and it is the most important thing to mobilize more troops to defend the city, if the city under the rule has experienced too many wars, it is not conducive to the defense of the Xuzhou army, mobilize elite forces, and protect the important city, which is the strategy of the Xuzhou army to deal with the enemy's attack.

It is not known how effective such a strategy would be after the start of the war.

Yuan Shu mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to come this time, the purpose was to break Xuzhou and drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, and it was best to get the secret of Xuzhou's craftsman's workshop, so that Yuan Shu's position among the princes would be more stable.

When Yuan Shu's influence among the princes is improved, he can get more benefits, and it is much easier to take the opportunity to recruit talents with Yuan Shu's identity than Lu Bu.

In the past, Lu Bu did have a lot of efforts when he was in Xuzhou, especially in recruiting talents, but the effect was not very great.

It is mainly caused by Lu Bu's bad reputation among literati, and more literati will be more cautious when choosing a monarch, especially the reputation of the monarch, which will have a very important impact on their choice, and the monarch who no one wants to take refuge in is notorious.

Lu Bu is a notorious existence among the princes, and it is not easy for such a monarch to recruit more talents.

After taking over the Liang State, Yuan Shu's army was further approaching Xiangxian.

The breath of war lingers above Xiangxian.

This war is of great significance to Xuzhou, as the defender of Xiangxian, Gao Shun does not dare to slack off at this time, Yuan Shu has a big action, Xuzhou must have gotten the news, and now the vanguard army is coming to Xiangxian.

What Gao Shun needs to do is to stabilize the city as much as possible before the arrival of his own soldiers and horses, eradicate the unstable factors, and ensure that the army does not have more worries when fighting.

Gao Shun's ability to lead troops in battle is considered by the generals in the army, and Gao Shun's trapped camp has become a banner in the Xuzhou army.

A team that dares to confront the enemy's cavalry head-on in a war will not be ordinary.

Just having a trap camp is enough to make Guoshun's name louder among the princes.

The war is getting closer and closer, Gao Shun does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and even more carefully when doing things in ordinary times, especially the monitoring of officials in the city.

Yuan Shu ruled Yuzhou in the past, and his influence in Yuzhou was not comparable to that of Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu occupied the city of Yuzhou, and wanted to form a real governance of Yuzhou, it was not an overnight thing, among the officials in Yuzhou, there were many people who had confidence in Yuan Shu.

The actions taken by Yuan Shu now are the source of their confidence.

The restless officials in the city, Gao Shun did not hesitate to take action, since this period of time, five families have been eliminated one after another, Gao Shun used bloody means to tell the family in the city that if you want to betray Lu Bu and join Yuan Shu at this time, you must weigh whether the strength of the family can block the attack from the soldiers in the army.

And Gao Shun's reputation is getting louder and louder in the city, and it has become the object of many families' gnashing of teeth.

It's just that these families, even if they want to deal with Gao Shun, there is no suitable way, ordinary times, Gao Shun is in the army, with Gao Shun's influence in the army, it is obviously impossible for these families to complete the shot in the army.

The war is about to break out, and Gao Shun attaches great importance to his own safety, because Gao Shun knows that only when he is in Xiangxian can the situation in Xiangxian be stabilized, and after the arrival of the Xuzhou army, Gao Shun can have a chance to breathe.

The vanguard army is the commander of Yu Ban, as the commander of the 3,000-strong crossbow army, Yu Ban is also an important general in the Xuzhou army at this time.

In important meetings, Yu Ban's figure can be seen, and this time Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are coming violently, and it is the time for Xuzhou Army to show their value.

No matter how cruel the enemy army is, Yu Ban will not have any more hesitation, and what Yu Ban needs is victory in the war to stabilize his position in the army.

It is not an easy thing to get more recognition in the Xuzhou army, and the most important thing in the Xuzhou army is the strong generals, many of whom were the generals who originally followed Lu Bu.

Fortunately, the system of the Xuzhou Army is relatively clear, as long as it has enough ability and enough merit, it can be promoted.

Just in terms of system, the Xuzhou army is not comparable to the armies of other princes.

As for the elite level of the officers and men in the army, Yu Ban can proudly say that on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers under his command can bring a painful blow to the enemy.

The training of the strong crossbow army is extremely strict, and as a long-range offensive force for the army, Yu Ban has put too much effort into the training of the strong crossbow army.

And Lu Bu also often guides the training of the strong crossbow army, and now the strength of the strong crossbow army, compared to when it was first formed, the elite is not much more elite, the key is the combat method of the strong crossbow army, which is absolutely powerful, even if it is the cavalry of the enemy army, Yu Ban is also confident that he has the power to fight.

To be able to get such an appointment at the beginning of the Great War made Yu Ban very excited.

As a vanguard general, at this time, Yu Ban had 500 elite cavalry under his command, and these cavalrymen came from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, in order to help the vanguard army explore the situation in front and help the army commander in the rear.

Intelligence on the battlefield has a great impact on the war, and if you are the commander in chief of the army and cannot even control the situation on the battlefield in a timely manner, such a commander is not qualified.
