Chapter 2279: A large number of enemy troops have been discovered
The appearance of the commander in the army will have a certain impact on the morale of the army, Gao Ding did not expect that the same thing will be put on the body of the Chang'an army, it will have such an effect, but Gao Ding is unwilling to admit defeat, after losing, it means that all the previous efforts have come to naught.
This time, the army that followed Gao Ding to fight was the absolute main force of Yuewang County, even if he could gather 20,000 soldiers and horses again after returning to Yuewang County, it would be difficult to fight against the enemy army.
Yuewang County is not as good as Shu County and Hanzhong, barrenness restricts the development of the army, and the barbarians have strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, not to say that they have to rely on the strength of the barbarians, and it is impossible to bear the cost of more troops in the land of Yuewang County.
Only victory can make Gao Ding's strength be greatly improved, he can't retreat, let alone admit defeat, as long as there is hope, he will persevere.
If it is impossible to say that there is no hatred for Liu Bei, if Liu Bei had a detailed explanation of the combat effectiveness of the Chang'an army when he first met Liu Bei, the three of them would not have been so reckless, and under Liu Bei's instigation, they led the army to Chengdu City and became Lu Bu's enemy.
Liu Bei's thoughts, Gao Ding naturally knows a thing or two, after losing Yizhou, Liu Bei wants to make a comeback, but there are not enough troops in his hands, relying on the southern army to fight against the Chang'an army, after winning, Liu Bei has the strength to rise again.
If this matter is replaced by Gao Ding, he will not easily give up such a good opportunity, and the appearance of soldiers and horses in the south is an opportunity for Liu Bei to recapture the city.
However, there is too much gap between the soldiers and horses of the southern counties and the Chang'an army, and even Liu Bei's plan to win is also seen through by Lu Bu.
The cavalry is blocked by flying horses, and the same number of confrontations, the Chang'an army that charged up, so that the soldiers under the command of Gao Ding are defeated and retreated on the battlefield, their previous heroism has not brought too much damage to the Chang'an army, in terms of the loss of numbers, and even the soldiers of the southern counties have lost more, this is the difference between the elite and ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, and now the opportunity to belong to the Chang'an army on the battlefield has arrived, and Pang Tong will not let go of this opportunity.
Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the overall war is developing towards the unfavorable side of the southern counties, if Zhu Bao and Zhengang cannot lead the army in time, the final defeat is very likely to be the southern army, 20,000 against 30,000 Chang'an army, even if the Chang'an army 10,000 did not move, it still made the soldiers of the southern army pay a heavy price.
The Chang'an army led by Pang Tong, its strength is not terrifying in Gao Ding's view, and the army that followed Lu Bu is really terrible, whether it is a strong crossbow army or a crossbow army that plays a role on the battlefield, it is not comparable to the soldiers of the southern army, and the soldiers of the southern army can only rely on their own martial arts and stubborn resistance in the face of the enemy's attack.
Zhu Bao and Zhengang led the army, at this time from the place of battle, only five miles away, after learning the situation on the battlefield, Zhu Bao and Zhengang kept urging the soldiers under their command to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, which is a crucial factor related to whether the southern army can achieve victory on the battlefield.
After learning that Lu Bu appeared on the battlefield, Zhu Bao and Zhengang were a little incredulous, the enemy army mobilized 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they didn't get any news before, which shows how much the Chang'an army has mastered the situation on the battlefield, and the secret posts arranged on the battlefield are even more dead.
However, the most important thing for the two of them is to rush to the battlefield, and their own scouts suffered a lot of losses on the battlefield, which made Zhu Bao and Zhengang have a sense of worry, they already have a deep understanding of the horror of the Chang'an army, otherwise they would not listen to Liu Bei's words, and regard this raid as the beginning of the decisive battle.
Lu Bu led the army to appear on the battlefield, which has already made the situation on the battlefield uncontrollable, how powerful the army under Lu Bu is, the two of them naturally know, but the two can only choose to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible to support Gao Ding.
The 20,000 troops who followed Gao Ding to fight are the most elite soldiers in the army, if these large armies are lost on the battlefield, the strength of the southern army will be reduced by half, and when facing Lu Bu, there will be no chance of victory, and the situation on the battlefield is urgent, but their scouts cannot get the news on the battlefield, which makes Zhu Bao and Zhengang a little uneasy.
There are a lot of enemy troops in Chengdu City, judging from the news from the Gaoding faction, the army led by Lu Bu is about 20,000 people, in this way, there are still more than 10,000 troops in Chengdu City, and the minimum force that can be mobilized is 10,000 people.
Lu Bu had already led the army out, there was no reason to let the two of them lead the army to aid Gaoding, and they even suspected that the remaining soldiers of the Chang'an army had already been dispatched.
"Zhu Taishou, the scouts have sent news that a large number of enemy troops have been found ten miles behind our army." A general, covered in blood, rode his horse to the Chinese army.
"Have you ever found out how many soldiers and horses the enemy has?" Zhu Bao's tone was a little eager, and the Chang'an army really appeared, and it was still in their rear.
"Taishou, the enemy's scouts are too powerful, and the scouts of our army are difficult to approach at all, and the scouts in the army are also desperate to get the news back." The general said.
Zhu Bao's face was a little gloomy, the scouts could not find out more about the enemy's news on the battlefield, it was extremely unfavorable for a large army, and they could not understand the situation on the battlefield in time, and the consequences would inevitably be serious, just like now, the army led by the two was only five miles away from the battlefield, but the enemy army was found in the rear of the army, and it was a big problem to let the army stop, block the enemy or let the army continue to advance.
"The lieutenant general of the herald army is moving forward at a faster pace, and the scouts are closely probing the enemy forces in the rear." Zhu Bao was silent for a moment.
"Zhu Taishou, if the soldiers of the enemy army in the rear are defeated, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the war." Zhengang Road.
Zhu Bao shook his head and said: "It's not that the officer is unwilling to order the army to stop and block the enemy, but the situation on the battlefield is extremely unfavorable for our army, our army only has 20,000 people on the battlefield, but the number of enemy troops has reached 30,000. ”
Zhengang sighed: "I don't want the plan of the king of Hanzhong, but I want to see through it for the king of Jin, otherwise, it will be easier to defeat the Chang'an army." ”
Having said that, Zhu Bao has a different opinion, compared to Liu Bei, Lu Bu is more famous.
