Chapter 1072: A Cautious Overview
Zhang Liao hugged his fists and left, full of confidence in defeating Gao Lan, the wolf cavalry at this time is different from the past, the combat effectiveness can be described as terrifying, after the war horse is equipped with armor, although it affects the speed of the army to a certain extent, it is still not comparable to the foot soldiers, once such a cavalry charges, it is absolutely unstoppable torrent on the battlefield, the Jizhou army that besieged Julu County was collapsed under the power of the wolf cavalry, and even made the Jizhou army dare not go out of the city to face the provocation of the Youzhou army.
The generals in the army looked at Zhang Liao's departure with envy, the elite of the wolf rider under Zhang Liao's command is obvious to all, although it has only experienced a war, the wolf rider has shown his strength.
Guo Jia glanced at the generals in the tent and said slowly: "Yuan Shao led the Jizhou army on the way back to Yecheng, as expected, the Youzhou army will have a vicious battle, if it can't stop the Jizhou army, then the Youzhou army can only return in vain this attack on Jizhou, as the elite soldiers under the rule of the Marquis of Jin, this official does not want to face the Bingzhou army in the future when he can't raise his head, at the beginning of the Marquis of Jin led Er and other generals to fight the strong Xianbei people, so that the invincible Liaodong Army paid a heavy price. ”
When the generals in the tent heard this, their spirits were shocked, as generals in the army, the last thing they were afraid of was the battlefield, on the contrary, if there was no war, they would feel uncomfortable, which was also brought from the state army.
In the Youzhou Army, there are many generals from the Bingzhou Army, who are responsible for training the original Youzhou Army, and even some habits of the General and the State Army have also been infected.
"The officers and men of all departments train carefully, and if the officers find that there are slack, they will be punished by military law."
Everyone responded violently, leaving the big tent of the Chinese army, it is inevitable that the meeting will discuss, the hatred of the Youzhou army for the Jizhou army is originated, at the beginning Jizhou repeatedly competed with Gongsun Zhan, and the Jizhou army led by Gongsun Chan was defeated in the hands of Yuan Shao, the same is the general in the army, no one wants to be weaker than others, and won one after another in Jizhou, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Youzhou army, not to mention that the state army has defeated the princes' coalition army, they have to show it, and they also know a lot about the war outside Huguan.
Not to mention the excitement of the generals in the army, after the training of the soldiers of various departments, and said that Zhang Liao led the wolf cavalry to wander around the nearby battlefield, in order to find out the news of the Jizhou army, Gao Ran is one of the four pillars of Hebei, and has a great reputation in Jizhou, otherwise Yuan Shao would not have sent Gao Ran to garrison such an important place as Hejian.
In terms of martial arts, Gao Ran can only be regarded as middle-class, but in terms of marching and fighting, Gao Ran is a meticulous person, and his judgment of the situation on the battlefield is extremely keen, which the generals in the Jizhou army are extremely admired.
After receiving Yuan Shao's order, Gao Ran ordered 8,000 soldiers and horses, coming in the direction of Jizhou, at the beginning, the Jizhou army was marching at a very fast speed, and after not far from Wei County, it slowed down, and sometimes even went out day and night, causing the generals in the army to complain, but Gao Ran has a lot of prestige in the army, even if some generals are dissatisfied, they can only hide in the depths of their hearts.
For the merger of states as opponents, Gao Ran has a deep understanding of the fighting methods of the merge state army and even the Youzhou army, and the more he knows, the more he has a deeper understanding of the strength of the Youzhou army and the merge state army.
When it comes to the Bingzhou Army and the Youzhou Army, the first thing that comes to mind is the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army is so powerful that the princes have to admit it, especially the flying cavalry and the Burning Sun Archery in the Bingzhou Army, which are absolutely invincible on the battlefield.
Although Gao Ran had 8,000 men in his hands at this time, the number of cavalry was only 300, and the 300 cavalry were used as scouts for the army to find out the situation on the battlefield.
The most elite existence of the Jizhou army is the first to climb the dead, the prestige of the first to die lies in the defeat of the invincible white horse righteous servant, but in the Jizhou army there is another strong combat force exists, they are called the Euphorbia, the Euphorbia belongs to the hoplites, in the soldier's equipment than the first to the dead is not weak, this elite foot soldier is trained by Zhang He, one of the four pillars of the Hanoi court, the soldiers in the Euphorbia are equipped with euphorbia and heavy armor, each Euphorbia is the strongest and elite existence selected from the soldiers.
It's just that compared with the Euphorbia, the first to die is more famous, and in the Jizhou Army, the combat effectiveness of the Euphorbia is well known.
When he was competing with Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao once sent the Euphorbia to the battlefield, but he did not receive too good results, mainly because Bai Ma Yicong was good at riding and shooting, and had strong mobility ability.
At this time, Gao Ran's army has 800 euphorbia, these euphorbia are used by Gao Ran to block the Youzhou army, but what I didn't expect is that the Youzhou army actually seized Zhongshan and Julu County from Jizhou with a thunderous force, but Gao Lan, who did not get the order, did not dare to move, and Hejian has a vital position for Jizhou.
Gao Ran knew that this time the reinforcement would not be as smooth as imagined, and Gao Ran's deputy Zang Hong was a little puzzled by Gao Ran's sudden cautiousness after approaching Wei County.
Now the prestige of Yecheng is already very critical, as long as you return to Yecheng as soon as possible, you can resolve the disaster brought by the Youzhou army.
"General Zang, it's not that the general doesn't want to rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, but has to be cautious, now the lord is on the way back to the army, but there are more than 20,000 troops in Youzhou outside Yecheng, the wolf cavalry in the Youzhou army is so powerful, presumably General Zang has heard of it, if it is taken advantage of by the enemy on the way back, it is the biggest turmoil for Yecheng."
Zang Hong said: "General Gao is not too cautious, at this time, there are elite soldiers like the Euphorbia in the army, even if Zhang Liao leads the wolf rider to come, he will not want to get benefits." ”
Gao Ran frowned, in recent times, Zang Hong has been against him a lot, and Zang Hong is even more indignant about his immobility in the river, and there is a trace of estrangement between the two because of this matter.
"No, if General Zang is the commander of the Youzhou Army, will my army enter the city so easily?" Gao Ran asked rhetorically.
Zang Hong was a little speechless, and after a little thought, he also understood the truth.
"General, now it's only a day's journey from Yecheng, even if the Youzhou army is elite, if it is when attacking our army, Yecheng's army suddenly attacked, how can it be undefeated." Zang Hong retorted.
