Chen Lan nodded thoughtfully, the most important thing at the moment is to preserve the strength of the cavalry to a greater extent, and if they can't win against the enemy, it is terrible, if the cavalry team suffers heavy losses, the impact will be greater.

In the army, Zhang Xun has an important position, which makes Zhang Xun have enough rhetoric when he is punished, but Chen Lan is different, if this war fails, he will be punished a lot, and even his status in Zhang Xun's mind will decline.

Generals like Zhang Xun have a great influence on the appointment of generals in the army, which is also the reason why many generals have a lot of envy for Chen Lan, as long as Zhang Xun has more support for Chen Lan, and the cavalry has corresponding merits in the battle, it is possible for Chen Lan to go to a more important position.

The current situation is no longer under the control of Zhang Xun and Chen Lan, and it has become impossible to win from the confrontation, and the best result is that their cavalry can get rid of the battlefield more, so that after returning to the army, they can still have an explanation.

Zhang Xun smiled bitterly: "Our army has made careful arrangements for this war, but I didn't expect the Xuzhou Army to have a response, and it was the general who underestimated the Xuzhou Army before." ”

The Xuzhou army has always had a resounding reputation among the princes, mainly because of the influence brought by Lu Bu after he arrived in Xuzhou, and if Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, the Xuzhou army would definitely be weak.

Zhang Xun is a military general, and he is an important general in the army, seeing that Lu Bu has such a reputation, there must be a lot of unconvincing in his heart, if he can defeat Lu Bu in the battle, the reputation he can get is definitely great.

The war of the military commander is actually full of cruelty, and if there is no appropriate way to deal with it, he will suffer defeat in the war, and his position in front of the monarch will be greatly affected.

When appointing generals in the Xuzhou army, it is based on the ability of the generals, if the ability of the generals is not enough, it is impossible to get more appointments from the monarch, in fact, this is not the case under the command of other princes.

When the princes appoint the generals, they have a lot of attention to the ability of the generals, and it also has a lot to do with the background behind the generals.

If the generals do not perform well in the war, it is impossible to get more attention from the monarch.

Zhang Xun naturally didn't know what Chen Lan was thinking at this time, and the current situation of the war was not what Zhang Xun wanted to see, but everything could only be said after returning to the army.

"General, it's not good, it's Wenhou Lu Bu who led the cavalry this time." A general rode up and shouted, his expression full of panic.

The shadow of the famous tree, Lu Bu has a great reputation among the princes, and it is a great challenge for many princes to win the battle against Lu Bu.

And Lu Bu in terms of martial arts, but there are other generals can not match, if you face Lu Bu head-on, you can imagine what the result will be, the best way is to win against Lu Bu.

With the superiority of troops, he posed a threat to Lu Bu.

However, now, their own cavalry is in chaos, and when the order to retreat is issued, the impact that Zhang Xun's order can have in the army is not as great as imagined, because the cavalry in the army is more worried about the evacuation.

This is a battle involving one's own life, and if you can't get out of the battle faster, more danger will follow.

Following Zhang Xun to the battlefield, what they want is credit rather than putting their lives on the battlefield.

The cavalry in the Xuzhou army has such combat effectiveness, in fact, the cavalry who followed Zhang Xun has a certain understanding, and if they want to win from the hands of the Xuzhou army, in general, the difficulty is too great, if Zhang Xun can win in such a situation, for this confrontation, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun do not need to have a lot of planning.

The news of Lu Bu's appearance spread quickly among Zhang Xun's army, followed by the cavalry under Zhang Xun's command fleeing at a faster speed, in this case, they did not have the confidence to win against Lu Bu, and wanted to do more in the process of confronting Lu Bu head-on, it was simply a fantasy.

Many cavalrymen were already shocked when they saw such a large number of cavalry of the Xuzhou Army, not to mention that the commander of this cavalry was Lu Bu.

"No, get out of here." Zhang Xun said in a voice quite eagerly.

Lu Bu appears on the battlefield, it will be an invincible existence, if you want to get benefits in the hands of Lu Bu, it is obviously difficult, the best way is to evacuate as soon as possible during the battle, anyway, from the current situation, if your cavalry wants to win against the Xuzhou army, it is simply impossible.

Staying on the battlefield is no more useful.

As soon as they thought of this, Zhang Xun and Chen Lan led the cavalry to evacuate.

This is a contest between the cavalry of the two sides, the cavalry of the Yuan Shu Army, which was originally a hunter, has become the prey in the eyes of the Xuzhou Army at this time, when they face the cavalry battalion and the personal guard cavalry, even if they have the power to resist, it is difficult to pose a threat to the elite cavalry of the Xuzhou Army, but there are constantly cavalry falling off their horses.

In the real confrontation, you can see the gap between each other, and it is obviously not enough to measure the strength of the two sides with ordinary training.

Only war can see more things.

The cavalry in Yuan Shu's army, in fact, has undergone strict training in ordinary times, Yuan Shu wants to get an elite cavalry team, in the next day of the battle, can create a greater advantage for his own battle, although the conditions are not sufficient, still formed a cavalry team of 5,000 people.

For this cavalry, Yuan Shu has high hopes, hoping that this cavalry can play a more important role in future battles.

In fact, among this cavalry, there are also brave and good warriors, they still did not give up resistance in such a critical situation, and resisted stubbornly in the face of the attack of the Xuzhou army.

It's just that the resistance of these cavalry can play a limited role, because it is the cavalry in the Xuzhou army that controls the rhythm on the battlefield, and they can form more suppression of the enemy army with their strong fighting style, so that the enemy can only keep retreating in the face of battle.
