Chapter 791: Additional Manpower
On the battlefield, combat experience has a great impact on the confrontation of an army, and if there is no corresponding means to deal with the enemy's attack, it is almost impossible to win on the battlefield.
The Xuzhou Army is a team that has experienced wars, and the ability they have shown in the confrontations again and again is not weak.
In the face of such a cavalry team, Zhang Xun was under a lot of pressure.
"Order the scout team, send more people, a team of ten people, to find out the situation of the enemy army, and after encountering the scouts of the Xuzhou army, don't be soft." Zhang Xun ordered.
If you fight alone, there is indeed a certain gap between the scouts of the Xuzhou army and the Xuzhou army, and the method that Zhang Xun came up with is to increase the number of scouts in the team, so that there will be corresponding means when dealing with the enemy's attack.
Even if the scouts of the Xuzhou cavalry are strong, if one person doesn't want to, then go to two, and if two doesn't work, go to five, it can always be solved, anyway, Yuan Shu has an advantage in strength when he fights against Lu Bu, these scouts of the Xuzhou army, even if they come to the vicinity of Sui County, they don't dare to be presumptuous more, otherwise the transfer of soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's command is enough to make the scouts in Xuzhou pay a heavy price.
This is the advantage of the superiority in troops, and Zhang Xun is quite satisfied with the current situation.
This war is of great significance to Yuan Shu, if the cavalry team that has invested a lot fails to make achievements on the battlefield, it will inevitably make people with a heart say it.
Zhang Xun, as a general trusted by Yuan Shu, attaches great importance to this aspect, and leads the cavalry team to have greater achievements on the battlefield, and it is best to be able to have a brilliant place when fighting against the Xuzhou cavalry, so that his position under Yuan Shu will be more stable.
Ji Ling suffered a lot of losses in the hands of Lu Bu before, this kind of thing will make Zhang Xun more cautious, Lu Bu as a powerful prince, but he has elite troops under his command, from the past things, not only the power on the surface, but also the power that Lu Bu controls in the dark is extremely terrifying
When fighting against Lu Bu, the cavalry team had an excellent performance, and Zhang Xun would have more say in the army in the future, even if Ji Ling was dissatisfied in this regard, he was helpless.
As a general in the army, the most important thing is how much credit you have when fighting the enemy, and if you don't have enough credit, even if you go to a high position, you can't say that your position is stable.
I have to say that Zhang Xun's transfer, so that the Xuzhou army scouts suffered a lot of losses, the original scouts in the action, the number is not much, after Zhang Xun's adjustment, the Xuzhou army scouts need to face the enemy scouts, the number of greatly increased, the difficulty will naturally be greater.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to defeat four hands, even if the Xuzhou cavalry far exceeds the cavalry under Yuan Shu in terms of elite, when the number of scouts under Yuan Shu increases, it is extremely difficult for the scouts of the Xuzhou army to have greater achievements.
Even under such conditions, the scouts of the Xuzhou army still showed shocking combat effectiveness, and when they clashed, they gave the scouts under Yuan Shu's command a hard lesson.
However, the current situation has finally improved, and although the loss of the scouts on both sides is one to two, in general, it still curbs the arrogance of the Xuzhou army scouts.
The battlefield of scouts is full of dangers, especially when it comes to inquiring about news, if you are not careful, your 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 preserving themselves.
The confrontation between the scout teams was tacitly acquiesced in by the commanders of both sides, and it would be the strangest thing if the armies of the two sides faced each other like this.
However, the Xuzhou army scouts occupy a certain advantage, which still makes Lu Bu more relieved.
Judging from the news coming back from the battlefield, Yuan Shu attached great importance to the development of cavalry strength after his defeat in the past, and now the number of cavalry under his command is more than the number of cavalry of the Xuzhou army.
However, if Yuan Shu thought that he could win against the cavalry of the Xuzhou army just by virtue of the numerical superiority of the cavalry, that would be the biggest mistake.
Xuzhou cavalry, that is the cavalry team that came out of the war, the strength is exquisite, not the ordinary team can be compared, they have excellent performance on the battlefield, no matter how strong the strength of the enemy is, in the face of them, after all, there are shortcomings.
It was with 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 means of dealing with the provocations of other princes.
And Lu Bu's success among the princes is also the envy of many people, if he can have elite cavalry strength, he will have great concern about the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army.
The idea of wanting to form a cavalry team is good, the key is to want to form an elite cavalry team, it is not an overnight thing, just rely on ordinary training, for the progress of the cavalry, although it is helpful, if you want to grow in the real sense, the most important way is war, only in the war has a better performance, in order to be more sophisticated.
The cavalry team, but the princes' baby bumps, such a thing on Lu Bu's body is also no exception.
If it weren't for the fact that Yanzhou would also face a war, if Lu Bu transferred the cavalry in the Yanzhou army, the number of cavalry alone would reach 6,000, crisscrossing the battlefield, it would not be invincible, even if the enemy army had a large number, how much of a role could it play in the face of cavalry impact.
On the battlefield, the foot soldiers are the most feared in the face of the cavalry, they have no more combat effectiveness in front of the cavalry, even if it is a pikeman, it will have a certain impact on the safety of the cavalry, when the number of enemy cavalry reaches a certain level, it is also a fatal threat to the pikemen.
When the cavalry is attacking, the most important offensive force is the impact of the war horse, even if the cavalry on the war horse is killed, with the impact of the horse, it can also make the enemy pay a heavy price.
When it is necessary, when facing the enemy's cavalry attack, it is best to be able to use cavalry to contain it, or to have a long-range offensive means to strike.
