Chapter 2623 Xu Huang vs Xiahou (Part 1)
It can be seen from the speed of the Huns cavalry on the battlefield that the horses under the Huns cavalry are excellent.
"General, do you remember that I and the general discussed the attack on Wuguan before?" Cheng Yu said in a low voice.
Xia Houyuan's expression changed. The plan to attack Wuguan was before the troops and horses in Wuguan were mobilized. If he attacked Wuguan at that time and captured Wuguan from the Jin army, it would definitely have a big effect. However,
The arrival of the army led by Guo Jia and Xu Huang temporarily put this plan on hold.
"Military advisor, the enemy is outside the city now," Xia Houyuan said.
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "It is precisely because the enemy troops are outside the city that it is relatively easier to capture Wuguan. Judging from the news from the Wuguan scouts, Guo Jia led his troops, and Wuguan still allows merchants
By this time, the number of soldiers and horses in Wuguan has dropped sharply. If Wuguan can be captured, it will definitely give our army a greater advantage on the battlefield."
Xia Houyuan was moved after hearing this. After capturing Wuguan, there were indeed many benefits. The enemy army had already arrived at Wancheng. If there was no movement from his own army, what would the officers and soldiers in the army guess?
The morale of the army depends on the victory of each war. If it only relies on the encouragement of the generals in the army, it will play a very small role. Only victory can make the officers and soldiers in the army more confident in winning.
Let them have more fear when facing war.
Morale has a vital influence on a large army. Although morale is invisible and intangible, a team with high morale can defeat the enemy even when it is at a numerical disadvantage. How to improve the army?
The morale of the army is also what the generals in the army are most concerned about.
"If we send a large army to raid Wuguan, what are the chances of winning?" Xia Houyuan asked.
Cheng Yu said: "If the enemy troops had not mobilized from Wuguan, the chance of winning would be less than 30%. Now that the enemy troops are coming in large numbers, the chance of winning will be 50%. As long as our cavalry can enter Wuguan, they will definitely be able to defeat Wuguan."
Xia Houyuan clasped his fists and said, "Master Lao has to worry about this matter."
"General, there is no need to do this. Defeating the enemy is what I should do." Cheng Yu said.
The next day, Xu Huang led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the outside of Wancheng. At a distance of 500 steps from Wancheng, he ordered the lieutenants of the army to form a formation.
After Cheng Yu and Xia Houyuan received the news, they had already arrived at the city wall.
After looking at the army outside the city for a long time, Cheng Yu was shocked. Judging from the enemy's proficiency in arranging their troops, this was an elite force on the battlefield. Ordinary soldiers would inevitably be slightly confused when arranging their troops.
scene, but this army gives people a completely different feeling.
The 30,000 soldiers and horses guarding Wuguan are Xu Huang's headquarters. Xu Huang attaches great importance to the training of army officers. Xu Huang is the chief general of the Youzhou Army, and the Youzhou Army is an important force under Lu Bu's command.
combat power.
Years of fighting on the battlefield gave the Youzhou Army a different aura. The lieutenant generals also had great respect for Guo Jia. Back then, Guo Jia spent a lot of time in the Youzhou Army, leading the Youzhou Army to attack Jizhou, and
Achieved impressive results.
"General, you can order 10,000 soldiers and horses and go out of the city to meet the enemy." Cheng Yu said.
Xia Houyuan had this intention. If the enemy troops approached the city and the defenders did not make any movement and only knew how to defend the city, it would inevitably make the defenders suspicious.
Besides, the enemy army only came with ten thousand people, and it was definitely not for the purpose of attacking the city.
Before the two armies fight, it is common for them to seek their own righteousness on the battlefield. Taking the side of righteousness can have a great impact on the enemy. Xu Huang led his troops forward at this time, and his intentions were clear.
In terms of righteousness, Xia Houyuan naturally does not have the slightest fear. He is a general of the Han Dynasty. Even if Lu Bu has a great reputation, he has betrayed the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of the Han Dynasty, he is a rebellious person. As long as he uses this aspect as a breakthrough
point, it will definitely put the enemy in a weak position.
Moreover, this time the enemy attacked Wancheng, making it easier for Xiahou Yuan to deal with it.
The city gates were wide open, and tens of thousands of troops slowly left the city. Thousands of cavalry provided support on the left and right wings, showing the magnificence of Cao's army.
Xu Huang was also sizing up Cao Jun. Cao Jun has achieved many victories over the years and cannot be ignored. The strength shown by Cao Jun will be a big test for the next battle.
After seeing Cao Jun arranging their troops, Xu Huang nodded secretly.
Holding a stone-pierced ax in his hand, Xu Huangce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "I am Xu Huang, the general of the Jin Kingdom. Why don't Xia Houyuan step forward to answer you?"
Xia Houyuan waved the long sword in his hand, rode out on his horse, and shouted: "You traitorous ministers and traitors, how dare you shout in front of our army? Lu Bu was a minister of the Han Dynasty in the past, but when the Han Dynasty was weak, he supported his troops and respected himself.
, did not obey the orders of the imperial court, and now he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Such people are the traitors of the Han Dynasty. If Xu Huang dismounts and accepts surrender, he will be able to avoid the danger of being attacked by swords and axes in the future."
Xu Huang sneered and said: "The emperor is wise and powerful, his rule is stable, and the people are convinced. The Han Dynasty is just a puppet emperor supported by Cao Cao. He wants to use the emperor's name to gain more benefits. Cao Cao's behavior is really hypocritical.
.”
"How dare Shu Zian talk nonsense here." Xia Houyuan said angrily. Cao Cao was a respectable person in the eyes of the generals. When the Han Dynasty was in danger, Cao Cao stood up and turned the tide. This is how the Han Dynasty is now stable.
.
"Is it possible that what I said is wrong? I heard that Cao Cao originally wanted to become king, but the officials in the court objected, so he had no choice but to give up. Is it possible that this kind of person, in your mouth, is also a famous minister of the ZTE Han Dynasty?" Xu
Huangdao.
"Huh, traitors don't know what is good or bad. You are a man of the Han Dynasty. Why did you bend yourself to become a traitor, eat the emperor's salary, and share the emperor's worries? But you have taken refuge in the rebellious ministers and traitors. How will you face your ancestors in the future?" Xia Houyuan
road.
"The salary of the emperor? This general and his officers and men are the money and food issued by the Jin State. What does it have to do with the Han Dynasty? The Holy Lord holds the jade seal and ascends the throne in Chang'an to proclaim himself emperor. This is just a matter of obeying the fate of heaven." Xu Huang Zizi
Don't show weakness verbally.
"As a minister, but he keeps the jade seal secretly. Such a person will be discovered by the prime minister sooner or later." Xia Houyuan said.
The two of them were quarreling in front of the battle, hoping to gain a righteous advantage for their own army. However, neither of them were easy-going people, so they tried their best to find a righteous advantage for themselves.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides represented the two countries at this time. Naturally, there were many quarrels. The Han Dynasty behind Xia Houyuan had lasted for hundreds of years and had great prestige among ordinary people. However, in the city ruled by Lu Bu, the people
Peace and stability, the generals and officers of the army respect you.
