Chapter Seventy-Nine: Extraordinary
Jia Xu said with a smile: "If the Yanzhou army wants to come forward, our army will give them a chance to win." ”
"Since this is the case, the generals of the herald army have come to the Chinese army." Zhang Liao ordered.
If the Yanzhou army still chooses to attack the camp as before, the Xuzhou army will give the Yanzhou army a hard lesson, so that the Yanzhou army can understand that there is no way out if it wants to defeat the Xuzhou army by attacking the camp.
Liu Dai is not stupid, Bao Xin suffered two losses in the attack on the camp, how could the Xuzhou army be defenseless, and rushing forward was just a credit for it.
20,000 Yanzhou troops and 10,000 Xuzhou troops set up positions in a flat place three miles away from Fang.
Although the Xuzhou army is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the army is in good order, on the other hand, the 20,000 Yanzhou army is a step ahead of the Xuzhou army in terms of momentum.
The three successive defeats made the generals of the Yanzhou army have certain doubts about defeating the Xuzhou army.
Liu Dai, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at the Xuzhou army in front of him and said loudly: "The generals in the army listen to the order and go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”
The rumbling war drums sounded suddenly, and after the generals of the Yanzhou Army received the order, they immediately commanded the army to step forward, and the military order fell like a mountain, in such a large-scale confrontation, the generals were of vital significance to the obedience of the order.
In the military, what is important is that orders are forbidden, and orders must be obeyed.
No matter what kind of feelings the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army had in their hearts at this time, they had to attack forward after hearing the sound of war drums.
The arrows rained down, and the former sergeants raised their shields to block the arrows.
In terms of the number of the army, the Xuzhou army has a big gap compared with the Yanzhou army, but in terms of the sophistication of equipment, the Xuzhou army is far from being comparable to the Yanzhou army, and the blades and armor in the army have already been replaced.
Arrow rain clash, can test an army's long-range offensive ability to face the enemy, if the archers can destroy the enemy's fighting spirit, it will be of great help to the next battle.
From time to time, there are soldiers on both sides who fall on the battlefield, and the protection that the shield can provide is limited after all, just like the foot soldiers in the Yanzhou army, the shield even cracked, with such a shield, it is not easy to play a role in blocking the arrow attack of the Xuzhou army.
Fighting in close quarters is the most test of the courage of the officers and men in the army.
The sounds of shouting and killing, war drums, and the clashing of blades converge to form a unique battlefield symphony.
The soldiers on both sides are inseparable from each other, the Yanzhou army has an advantage in the number of flights, and even the morale is much higher, and the side with a large number of people will have a psychological advantage when charging.
The Xuzhou army is not an easy person, not giving an inch, after the soldiers fell, the soldiers in the rear were quickly replenished.
If you look closely, you will find that with the gradual progress of the battle, most of the Yanzhou soldiers who fell on the battlefield were killed, and in terms of cooperation, the Xuzhou Army was not comparable to the Yanzhou Army.
The battlefield of more than 10,000 people has higher requirements for the cooperation between officers and men in the army, and the order will be unblocked, so that the army can make timely and effective responses.
Just when the two sides were in the midst of a battle, Zhang Liao gave an order, and the Xuzhou army slowly retreated.
Liu Dai was overjoyed to see this, this was a great opportunity for the Yanzhou army to defeat the Xuzhou army, no matter what kind of ability the Xuzhou army had, after losing on the Yanzhou battlefield, he would be able to get more benefits from this encounter.
The Yanzhou army covered up for a while, and it was difficult to get cheap, so Liu Dai had to order the army to retreat.
The battle was won, and a lot of blades and armor were captured.
The victorious side in the battle has the right to clean up the battlefield, which is also the most normal thing in the war, and the losing side only cares about fleeing from the battlefield, how can it take care of cleaning the battlefield.
Liu Dai obviously felt the high morale of the army, and the shadow of defeat brought about by the previous battle with the Xuzhou army also disappeared with the victory of this battle, and the Xuzhou army stuck to the camp, making it difficult for the Yanzhou army to break through in a short time, and it did not mean that the Yanzhou army could not defeat the Xuzhou army in the future.
As long as Liu Dai is given enough time, he can mobilize more soldiers and horses from Yanzhou.
Cao Cao said: "Zhou Mu, the defeat of the Xuzhou army today is extraordinary. ”
"What does Meng De mean by this?" Liu Dai asked with an unkind face.
"The Xuzhou army is brave and good at fighting, and the officers and men in the army are all elite, but at the time of the battle, the officers and men in the army do not seem to have tried their best, although our army has been victorious, but the Xuzhou army has not suffered much damage in the process of retreating, and it is speculated that this defeat may be deliberately done by the Xuzhou army." Cao Cao said.
Liu Dai laughed and said, "The Xuzhou army did it on purpose? Mengde, have you ever seen a commander who deliberately loses a battle? It is clear that Xuzhou's combat effectiveness is inferior to that of our army. ”
When the generals in the army heard this, they couldn't stop laughing, which showed that a victory made the generals in the army extremely happy.
"Governor, if it's for the sake of victory, what's the point of deliberately failing?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.
Liu Dai snorted coldly: "Don't say more, this official will lead the army to break through the Xuzhou army, miss this opportunity, if Lu Bu leads the cavalry back, it will be even more difficult to defeat the Xuzhou army." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he could only give up, and it was just his guess.
The combat effectiveness of the scumbag in the process of the Xuzhou army and the Yanzhou army was not underestimated, and when they retreated, they were also in order, without too much panic, which would inevitably make Cao Cao suspicious.
However, in this battle, the Yanzhou army had a numerical advantage, which was very convenient, and the more reasonable it was to achieve victory.
The Yanzhou army was thunderous, and the joy of victory filled the entire camp, while the atmosphere in the Xuzhou army was slightly dignified.
Although the Xuzhou army did not suffer much damage today, it was defeated in this battle.
Thinking of the number of the Yanzhou army, the generals in the army were relieved, as long as their commander led the cavalry back to the army, the Yanzhou army would inevitably bear the price of defeat, and unconsciously, Lu Bu's prestige in the Xuzhou army was further enhanced.
What military generals need is constant victories on the battlefield to accumulate their prestige, and in this regard, Lu Bu is unmatched.
"The army led by Wen Hou has already defeated the armies of Xiapi and Guangling, and even on the way back to Pengcheng, he easily packed up the soldiers and horses of Shanyang Taishou Yuan, and will soon return to the army." Jia Xu said.
Zhang Liao said: "After Wenhou returns to the army, the end of the Yanzhou army has arrived. ”
"No, if Wenhou returns to the army, then the Yanzhou army will definitely not dare to fight easily, with Wenhou's bravery, how dare Liu Dai send a large army to meet the battle." Jia Xu said.
