Chapter 2910 what is the strength of Jizhou Army
The two generals have their own goals. Now that the decisive battle has been decided, it depends on their respective abilities. Thirty miles east of the city is a plain area. As long as the surrounding numbers are cleared, both sides want to be on the battlefield.
It is impossible to ambush soldiers and horses, and such a decisive battle is relatively fair. The soldiers on both sides rely on their own abilities during the battle. A victory is a victory, and a defeat is a defeat.
After the news that the army was about to fight Jiangdong Army reached the city, the defenders in the city were excited. Facing Jiangdong Army's attack, the defenders were indeed under a lot of pressure, but when facing the enemy, they did not
More options. Only by repelling the enemy can they save their city and restore Bohai County to its previous stability. This is of great significance to the soldiers of the Jizhou Army.
Army preparation for war is a crucial task for both armies. If you want to win this battle, you must be fully prepared.
Three days later at night, important generals from the Jiangdong Army, including General Zhou Yu, gathered together.
Looking around at the generals below, Zhou Yu said slowly: "The current war between our army and the Jizhou Army is inevitable, and this Governor has promised to fight the Jizhou Army to a decisive battle, but before the decisive battle, this Governor wants to give Jizhou
A profound lesson for the military.”
When the generals heard this, they all turned their attention to Zhou Yu. They did not understand what Zhou Yu meant. The war between the two sides was decided in front of the officers and soldiers of the two armies. They would certainly not make changes without authorization, but through Zhou Yu
With his words, they felt that the battle between the two armies seemed not as simple as it seemed, and Zhou Yu wanted to make other moves.
"What do you think the strength of the Jizhou Army is? What I, the Governor, want to hear is the truth." Zhou Yu asked.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Yu turned his attention to Lu Su and said, "Zijing, tell me."
"My subordinates believe that the Jizhou Army has outstanding strength, and the most powerful among them is the Wolf Cavalry. The Wolf Cavalry was the cavalry originally formed by Lu Bu. It made great achievements in the battle against Dong Zhuo, and was later commanded by Zhang Liao.
Now the wolf cavalry has been changed into heavy cavalry. The ferocity of the wolf cavalry is a crucial factor that affects the outcome of the battlefield. Among the cavalry of our army, there are 500 heavy cavalry. I am afraid that they will not be as good as the wolf cavalry."
Lu Su said: "Moreover, the soldiers of the Jizhou Army are brave and good at fighting. Previously, our army attacked Nanpi with 50,000 people. The attack lasted for nearly a month, but they failed to capture Nanpi from the hands of the Jizhou Army. So,
This shows the tenacity of the Jizhou Army."
"Zhang Liao was also the commander-in-chief of the Jizhou Army appointed by Lu Bu. He was one of the Five Tiger Generals in the past. He led troops in battles for many years. Zhang Liao led the cavalry to defeat Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."
The generals in the army were moved when they heard this. They naturally knew about the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. On the battlefield in Jingzhou, Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry left a deep impression on the generals of Jiangdong Army. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were fighting in the battle.
There was no risk of life being spared in the process.
When they learned that Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had been defeated by the Xianbei Cavalry led by Zhang Liao, one can imagine the surprise in the hearts of the Jiangdong Army generals.
But it was extremely unbearable. Even the royal court was attacked by Lu Bu's cavalry. This also caused the generals of the Han Dynasty to no longer pay attention to the Xianbei people.
But after the Xianbei cavalry fought against the Tiger and Leopard cavalry, they quietly put away such thoughts. The battle between the Jizhou cavalry told everyone that the Xianbei cavalry was still powerful, and their madness on the battlefield was enough to make other
Fear strong enemies.
Zhou Yu nodded slightly and signaled Lu Su to continue. After the war begins, if the generals in the army lack sufficient knowledge of the enemy, it will not be of much help to the war. Only by paying attention to the enemy can the generals in the army be able to deal with it.
Work harder during the war.
An arrogant army must be defeated. The Jiangdong Army had a confrontation with the Bingzhou Army a few years ago and failed. However, more generals in the army had never experienced this. They did not have a deeper understanding of the madness of the Jin army. Back then,
After Zhou Yu, who was among the coalition forces, saw the madness of the Bingzhou Army, one can imagine his shock. It is hard to imagine that the Bingzhou Army could achieve a great victory despite being at a numerical disadvantage. This is completely unimaginable.
This incident told Zhou Yu that when facing Lu Bu's army, he must be more cautious. Only in this way can he win. Pride will send his soldiers into the abyss.
When attacking Jizhou, although the generals of the Jiangdong Army felt the difficulty of the Jizhou Army, they did not regard the Jizhou Army as a real opponent. After all, the Jiangdong Army had an absolute advantage in numbers at this time and could not fight against the Jizhou Army.
Down.
"Although the enemy army only has more than 20,000 people, once the war begins, its explosive strength cannot be underestimated. After excluding the army guarding the camp, our army has more than 40,000 people who can join the battle, which is far more powerful than
Jizhou Army, victory seems to be easy, but in fact it is not." Lu Su said: "Our army came from afar, and Jizhou Army mainly defends the city. The reason why they can explode with such strong fighting power is because they don't want to lose the city in their hands.
.”
Zhou Yu said: "Zijing's words are reasonable. Many officers in the army believe that the Jizhou army is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and will undoubtedly lose if they fight against our army. I would like to tell you that the war in Jizhou is not as simple as you think. If there is a confrontation,
If the Jizhou army could easily win, how could Lu Bu trust Zhang Liao to lead the army to garrison in Jizhou? Could it be that the Jin counselors couldn't see the danger that Jizhou was about to face?
The combination of the two is extremely terrifying."
The generals of the army hurriedly said yes, but secretly they were more vigilant. Through the words of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, they felt the urgency of the war. Before, they must have thought that the Jiangdong Army's victory in this battle was a matter of easy success. In Nanpi,
Therefore, it was blocked by the Jizhou Army because the Jizhou Army had the advantage of the city.
But now, they have different feelings. If the soldiers of Jiangdong Army cannot treat this war correctly, it seems that they are not far away from defeat.
