Chapter 132
Chapter 132
Yuan Shao was not a fool, so he naturally knew that the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou army with Liu Bin and the Youzhou army without Liu Bin would be at least 30% different! Before Liu Bin came back, even if Liu Bin could fight against ten thousand, it would be useless to the overall situation! Immediately, Yuan Shao mobilized troops and generals according to Shen Pei's plan. The first thing to dispatch was to lead 50,000 troops to Bohai City, inform Chunyu Qiong to prepare and be sure to strand the Youzhou army in the local area. As long as the Youzhou army can temporarily hold back the hundreds of thousands of Youzhou army, wait until the Jizhou army gathers together, and first eliminate the hundreds of thousands of Youzhou army and adopt a strategy of gradual defeat, the Youzhou army will not be invincible!
But is it really that easy? Of course not! Zhu Ling is concerned about the safety of Bohai City, and is more anxious. But Zhu Ling is still rushing to the road honestly, and he has not attracted anyone or provoked anyone. He has not stepped on any flowers and plants, scaring any children or anything. After all, he is also afraid of being ambushed by the Youzhou Army again! You must know that many people are trapped in the tactics of the Youzhou Army! Although Zhu Ling's 50,000 troops are safe all the way, Zhu Ling has always had a bad premonition, as if something big is about to happen!
Sure enough, when Zhu Ling brought the 50,000 troops to Bohai City and saw the outer wall of Bohai City built by the Youzhou army, Zhu Ling was still shocked! Damn, this battle cannot be fought! How can I fight this? Originally, Yuan Shao and Zhu Ling thought that the Youzhou army was going to attack Bohai City. Although the Youzhou army was strong in combat, it was in an unfavorable position. Although there were only more than 50,000 Jizhou troops in Bohai City, defending the city was enough! Zhu Ling now led a 50,000 army to support Bohai City! If the 100,000 troops were surprised, they would definitely be able to seriously damage the Youzhou army!
But now the Youzhou Army built a city wall in such a short time, cutting off the opportunity for internal and external Jizhou Army to cooperate with each other. And also changed the identities of both offensive and defensive sides! Now the Youzhou Army, which was originally the siege, has become the defensive side, but their Jizhou Army is forced to become the siege side! Compared with the combat power and military strength of the offensive and defensive sides, Yuan Shao's Jizhou Army is obviously at a disadvantage! Now, the Jizhou Army will not only cause heavy damage, but even destroy the Youzhou Army, it is good to be able to preserve its strength and not be eliminated by the Youzhou Army in turn!
Zhu Ling was so troubled! He had fought a war for a lifetime and had never encountered such a difficult opponent! What army has this King of Jin Liu Bin cultivated? It seems that the Youzhou Army is indeed not good at defending the city, but people can use various methods to reverse this unfavorable situation! The Youzhou Army is known as the number one army in the world. Now it seems that it is indeed well-known! What should we do now? According to the original plan, we will cooperate with the defenders in the city and attack the Youzhou Army? Or will we be stationed outside the city to intimidate the Youzhou Army and wait for the next reinforcements of the lord? Will the Youzhou Army take the opportunity to attack?
Zhu Ling was thinking about it with a headache, but still couldn't make up his mind! There was no way! Although he had a lot of experience in the battle formation, he had never seen such an opponent! Moreover, the situation is critical now, and one mistake in one move may lead to a loss in the whole game! Zhu Ling cannot bear this responsibility! If he made the wrong decision and caused the lord's great cause to be frustrated, then the lord will definitely not let him go! And he had no choice but to face his lord! But soon, Zhu Ling didn't have to worry about this issue! Because the Youzhou Army had already made a decision for him! The Youzhou Army was dispatched!
Zhu Ling broke through the siege and asked for help, and would bring reinforcements, which was expected by the Youzhou Army. Moreover, they also received information and knew everything about Zhu Ling's reinforcements, so Zang Ba and others were ready to deal with it! Before Zhu Ling and others arrived, Zang Ba had already made Zhao Yun ready for battle! Yuan Shao and his plan was to let Zhu Ling's army cooperate with the defenders of Bohai City to hold up the Youzhou army and other Youzhou army so that the Jizhou army had time to gather together and concentrate superior forces to eliminate Zang Ba's Youzhou army. It is best to defeat the Youzhou army one by one!
The orders received by Zang Ba and others were also used by the defenders of Bohai City to hold the main force of the Jizhou Army, so that the other armies could succeed and gradually defeat the Jizhou Army! The strategic goals of both sides were basically the same! They all wanted to hold the other side! But this was also a matter of dragging the other side! Although Zang Ba and others were dragging the other side, they did not intend to let the other side's hundreds of thousands of troops gather together to deal with themselves! Although Zang Ba and Zhao Yun and others were deeply influenced by Liu Bin, they were not Liu Bin after all, and they were not as arrogant as Liu Bin. They did not intend to swallow the other side's hundreds of thousands of troops with one sentence with the order of relying on the hundreds of thousands of troops! So if they could slowly erode the other side and try to clasp their own strength as much as possible, Zang Ba and others were still happy to do it!
First, eliminate the opponent's reinforcements, continue to use the tens of thousands of defenders in Bohai City as bait, attract the arrival of the Jizhou army, and gradually erode the Jizhou army. This is the countermeasure discussed by Zang Ba and the others. In this way, they can not only complete the important task given to them by the Lord, delay Yuan Shao's Jizhou army, and give opportunities to several other armies, but also create military achievements for themselves by destroying the Jizhou army, killing two birds with one stone, but also not doing it!
Zhao Yun brought 50,000 troops from the barracks to face Zhu Ling's Jizhou army. The rest continued to fight against the defenders of Bohai City, so as not to be prepared to cooperate inside and outside! Zhu Ling saw that the opponent was fighting, and the general in charge was Zhao Yun who showed off his power in the last time. He knew that something was wrong, so he quickly commanded the army and prepared for defense! Last time he had seen the powerful attack of the Youzhou army's arrow rain, so this time he ordered the army to prepare for defense in advance, and the army equipped with many shields! In Zhu Ling's view, the achievements of the Youzhou army's arrow rain style were indeed very powerful, but it was when he was not prepared. Now that he was ready, the opponent's arrow rain in the sky might not have much effect!
Also, although the cavalry of the Youzhou Army is invincible, the cavalry is powerful because it has strong charging ability. Now he is ready for defense. When the enemy charges, his casualties will be much smaller! And when he gets entangled with the enemy's cavalry, the opponent's arrow rain will no longer be able to show his power, and the cavalry without impact will definitely not be the opponent of those who are prepared for them! So I will definitely not fail in this battle! As long as this battle is won, the myth of the Youzhou Army's invincibility will be shattered, and these soldiers will definitely be more elite after the baptism of the battle. After the Youzhou Army is defeated, the Youzhou Army will not act rashly. In this way, although he is still unable to attack the Youzhou Army, he can hold these Youzhou Army and buy time for the lord sister's army, so that his goal can be achieved!
But is it really as simple as Zhu Ling thought? Is the Youzhou Army really that easy to deal with? Of course the answer is no! If the Youzhou Army really only has these means, Zang Ba and Zhao Yun only have such a little ability, and Liu Bin would not have photographed them leading such a little man, and they would have to face so many Jizhou Army! Zhao Yun led 50,000 Youzhou Army this time, and his combat habit was to use more cavalry, less or even no infantry. So this time, of the 50,000 army he led, forty thousand were cavalry, only ten thousand infantry! It would be easy to deal with 50,000 infantry with this configuration! Even if Zhu Ling and others were ready to defend against arrow rain, the result would be the same! Although the Youzhou Army focused on the long-range strike ability of crossbows, it did not mean that the Youzhou Army would have reduced its combat effectiveness except these means!
Zhao Yun and others saw Zhu Ling and others equipped with shields and other methods to defend arrow rain from afar, and couldn't help but chuckled! Equipped with a large number of shields, they can indeed effectively defend against arrow rain attacks, but can they defend against other attacks? For example, the stone rain attack of a series of flying stone cars! Although Zhao Yun and others sent 50,000 troops this time, without including the engineering troops, it does not mean that they will not use the engineering troops! Although Zhao Yun and Zang Ba pay great attention to martial ethics, they will also use some unscrupulous means on the battlefield due to Liu Bin's words. In Liu Bin's words, war is war, and the purpose is to eliminate the enemy. It doesn't matter what means it is. There is no despicable or despicable. A scoundrel is not a scoundrel! The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit! The winner should not be condemned!
So when Zhao Yun saw Zhu Ling's arrangement, he smiled gently! Then he held the Longquan spear, raised it high, and waved it down hard! The engineering troops behind him began to show their power! Now the two sides are less than two miles apart, and the best distance for the cavalry to charge has disappeared. These Jizhou troops can indeed effectively resist the attack of the arrow rain of the Youzhou army, and can also defend against the charge of the Youzhou iron cavalry. However, facing the engineering troops in the sky, their methods are not enough! When Zhu Ling's Jizhou troops were full of confidence, fighting the arrow rain of the Youzhou iron cavalry and charging with the Iron Cavalry, the engineering troops of the Youzhou army began to show their power!
Suddenly, the sky outside Bohai City became dark, and stone rain all over the sky appeared on the heads of Zhu Ling and other Jizhou troops! Stones as big as human heads were smashed overwhelmingly. This was much more powerful and spectacular than the arrow rain all over the sky and the iron cavalry charge. Of course, for the Jizhou army, this situation was much more tragic than the arrow rain all over the sky and the iron cavalry charge!
