Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 737: A cautious elevation
"Have the scouts inquired about the surrounding news?" Gao Cheng turned his attention to the deputy general on the side.
"General, according to the news from the scouts, there are no traces of Youzhou soldiers in the surrounding twenty miles, and the nearby villagers have not seen the Youzhou army." The deputy general said: "General, there are still three miles away from Changli.
It is impossible for the Youzhou Army to appear here within a day's journey."
Gao Cheng snorted coldly: "Just follow orders."
The methods displayed by Lu Bu made Gao Cheng have to be cautious. These five thousand elite soldiers were the hope of Changli. There were still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangping City, but Xiangping's geographical location was too important. If the Youzhou Army attacked Xiangping
, the consequences of losing Xiangping were enough to defeat the Liaodong Army.
"Here," the deputy general said, cupping his fists.
The lieutenant general looked down upon Gao Cheng's calmness. Except for the first two days of journey, Gao Cheng had always been too cautious. The five thousand troops were always nervous, as if the Youzhou Army would attack at any time. Such caution
, the army is marching at an extremely slow speed, and Changli is already in danger. If it continues like this, Changli may have been defeated by the Youzhou army before it reaches Changli.
"Let the scouts search for information faster and don't waste time," the deputy general ordered in a low voice.
The general in charge of the scouts understood that during this period, the most unlucky thing was that they, the scouts, often had to go back to the places they had explored. In the five thousand army, there were only a thousand cavalry, and the rest were
The infantry's marching speed was too slow in the eyes of the scouts, and with Gao Gao's caution, it was as if they could grasp the movement of every plant and tree in the surrounding twenty miles.
There are several Flying Eagle soldiers hidden in the dense grass. Even if you walk in and observe, it is difficult to see them. The clothes on their bodies give them a good concealment.
"Inform the commander that the enemy general is very cautious and has sent out a hundred scouts."
"Here." A green figure slowly retreated and disappeared into the jungle.
Gao Cheng's calmness also made Lu Bu feel trouble. If a large number of soldiers were sent to intercept the supporting army, there was no guarantee that the defenders in the city would be dispatched to meet him. The outcome would be unknown.
The elite of the Liaodong Army, Lu Bu also learned a lesson in this siege battle. Although the Thunderbolt Chariot caused great damage to the enemy, it also brought inconvenience to the siege. If this continues, even if the city wall is
If it collapses, it will be difficult to break into the city.
"General Huang, I wonder if you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Huang Zhong. On the battlefield in Youzhou, Huang Zhong showed his extraordinary strategy.
Huang Zhong thought for a long time and said: "My lord, the enemy has thousands of cavalry. It is better to send a small group of cavalry to harass. Once the enemy's cavalry is defeated by our army, the Liaodong Army will not be able to get the news on the battlefield so easily.
Although the remaining 4,000 infantry are elite, they can be defeated by sending only the enemy camp and 1,000 cavalry."
Lu Bu nodded slightly. The number of casualties in Youzhou reached 5,000 during the siege. With 5,000 people divided, the army could still maintain a sufficient advantage.
"General Huang, I will leave this matter to you, with Pang De as your assistant," Lu Bu said.
"Here." The two of them stood up and held their fists together.
After successive battles, Pang De exuded a strong fighting spirit. He was originally a fierce general under Ma Teng. His previous obscurity did not mean that he was incompetent. At this time, Pang De had become Huang Zhong's deputy general, and Huang Zhong was in charge.
The general of the Lieyang Archers became Huang Zhong's lieutenant. Pang De's position was promoted very quickly. It should be noted that Pang De was just a captain in the army before.
Among the Lieyang Archers, there are six captains and only two lieutenants.
Gongsun Kang was very anxious after learning about the mobilization of the army outside the city. At this time, the reinforcements were only two days' journey from Changli. During these two days' journey, many things might happen. The Youzhou army was dispatched at this time.
Two thousand cavalry and hundreds of infantry were obviously heading towards the supporting army.
However, the Youzhou Army's attack on Changli made Gongsun Kang helpless. All he could do was pray that the reinforcements could reach Changli smoothly, otherwise Changli would be defeated.
"Instruct guests, the defenders in Tuhe and Tuhe each send two thousand people to Changli." Gongsun Kang ordered. Compared with Bintu and Tuhe, Changli is the most important. As long as Changli is defended, even if it is
With Bindu and Tuhe lost, the Youzhou Army will be unable to achieve greater success. With Changli present, Liaodong will have a huge guarantee.
"Ling Ming, you lead a hundred cavalry to attack and harass. If the enemy comes to fight, just retreat without entanglement." Huang Zhong ordered.
Pound took the order and left.
To harass the Liaodong reinforcements, the first thing to do is to eliminate the opponent's scouts. Once there are no scouts, the Liaodong Army lacks sufficient understanding of the situation on the battlefield, and the initiative on the battlefield will fall into the hands of the Youzhou Army.
As one of the strongest cavalry under Lu Bu's command, the Lieyang Archers are also the best among the Lieyang Archers who can serve as scouts. Scouts who are good at mounted archery and running attacks are terrifying on the battlefield.
Although Liaodong's cavalry is elite, the Lieyang Archers are stronger. Even if the horses under them are carefully selected, they surpass the Liaodong cavalry at this point. The horses are faster and play an important role in the duel between scouts.
of vital role.
In the Liaodong Army, anyone who can become a scout is also a leader among the cavalry, but they are facing the Lieyang Archers, and the word "leader" seems so insignificant in front of the Lieyang Archers.
Two scouts of the Liaodong Army were chatting and laughing on their horses, unaware of the approaching danger. The army had been marching for five days, but they still saw no trace of the enemy. They gradually felt relieved and continued to fight.
They chatted immediately because they were waiting for the army behind them. Anyway, the previous scouts had already investigated the situation in front of them. When Gao Cheng sent an order for them to investigate again, they wisely obeyed Lieutenant General Gao Cheng's order.
Even if you are riding a horse to explore the news, it is still very tiring. Instead of this, it is still very good to wait quietly here for the arrival of the army.
"Commander, look ahead." The cavalrymen who were chatting and laughing suddenly noticed the billowing dust and smoke ahead and were shocked. As scouts all year round, they naturally understood what the dust and smoke represented.
"Why panic? Maybe a scout from our army is back." The captain scolded. Even so, another cavalryman still felt a slight tremor from the captain's tone.
"Commander, let's move quickly. How can our scouts run so fast?" the cavalryman reminded.
When the captain heard this, his expression changed drastically. Our scouts had been slowly trying to find out the news.
