Chapter 1473: The Battle of Xuzhou (70)

Guan Yu's prestige in the Setshan camp is by no means comparable to Yan Liang in the Jizhou army, Yan Liang knows this, in the Jizhou army, there is only one person who can really respond to every call, and that is Liyi, but he is no longer there, so to mobilize the Jizhou army, he must rely on the half-gecko talisman in Yuan Shao's hand, imagining that Liyi is like this, there is no situation where one order can command the three armies.

And Guan Yu's situation is almost the same as that of Lu Yi, but Liu Lan trusts his people and gives him the greatest autonomy, if Guan Yu wants to rebel, then in a quarter of an hour, more than half of the mountain camp will rebel against him, which is similar to Lu Yi.

But Liu Lan didn't have any suspicion of him, just like Xu Huang in Liaodong, he was always full of confidence, the reason is very simple, does the tiger charm have any effect, yes, but if the two really want to rebel, can they really restrain the two by relying on the tiger charm?

Not necessarily, also for Lu Yi, the reason why he was killed was not that he controlled the troops in his own hands, nor that he was a master, but that his desires were not controlled, just ask, when he found himself in the army under 10,000 people, his rights and desires were not supervised, and ill-intentioned became inevitable, and Yuan Shao could not effectively deter him, and it was logical that a residual drama was brewed in the end.

But Liu Lan is different, first of all, Liu Lan is not like Yuan Shao, he has enough prestige in the army, and secondly, whether it is Xu Huang or Guan Yu, they are not as dominant as Liyi in the real sense. You will feel that Xu Huang and Guan Yu are both important, but you will also feel that they are not completely irreplaceable.

Even if there is no Liaodong Army, there is still the Setshan Battalion, there is no Setshan Battalion and the Dragoon Army, and such a capable and independent general, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Jaw, Tai Shi Ci are countless, even if they really want to have bad intentions, they will attract an instant siege from all directions.

And in the past, the logistics of the army was where the troops were stationed, where they ate, it all depended on the counties and counties, and even the generals were generals and county guards, such a situation as Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, but with the establishment of the Governor's Mansion, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun became the governors of their respective boundaries, only the army was not in charge of politics, and the logistics were all back to Liu Lan's hands, it can be said that Liu Lan is now relegated to the second line, and he no longer interferes with the army as before, but he always holds the real lifeblood of the army.

The logistical support of grain, grass and armaments is not in their control, just like Sun Jian back then, Yuan Shu restrained him, and it was as simple as cutting off the supply of grain and grass.

What's more, Liu Lan doesn't need to do this at all, if he were someone else, he might not be able to deter him, but for Liu Lan, whether it is Xu Huang or Guan Yu, they are all convinced, but no one will oppose Liu Lan, this situation is like Yan Liangwen is ugly, they are the same, because they can have today, it is completely because of Yuan Shao, but Koji Yi is different, his prestige in Liangzhou is quite similar to Zang Ba, and he wants to use him, and he is afraid of suspicion of him, and finally suspicion of each other, endlessly!

Yan Liang's control of the troops was far from being as close as a finger, but Guan Yu commanded the Setshan Battalion, but he could do whatever he wanted, and under his command, the Setshan Battalion quickly defeated all the troops they organized.

If Guan Yu is the most satisfied general in this battle, maybe many people will choose Zhou Cang, because he turned the tide and played a decisive role in the final defeat of the Jizhou army, but he is more optimistic about Chen Feng, maybe he is far from being comparable to Zhou Cang in all aspects, but just like Guan Yu chose to promote him, it was entirely because he saw the similarities between him and Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan is in the Setshan camp, he is by no means known for his martial arts, he is mainly commanding large troops to fight, which is exactly what Guan Yu found in Chen Feng's unique potential, maybe he can't reach Zhang Nan's level now, but in time, he will become or even surpass Zhang Nan.

And this time, in fact, Guan Yu can't wait, if the world is still in the form before Dong, he will indeed be like the lord, maintain enough patience, but in the current situation, others will not give you this time, let you grow a little bit, you can only learn war through war, learn war in war, and grow in war.

No one is going to give you that time, maybe in the war you end up coming out on top, maybe in the war you become a dead soul under the sword, that's all possible, and that's what everyone is in front of now.

Guan Yu can't know the time when he grows up, he can only learn through the battlefield, the general must be out of the army, maybe the current Chen Feng is not doing very well, but as long as he can always improve himself through the war, Guan Yu is still looking forward to him.

He is very young, there is a lot of room for growth, and he has grown through war, you can't be higher in his requirements, and his demeanor on the battlefield is really extraordinary, although his strength is not in the charge, but he will not be strange to the charge at all.

On the battlefield, he charged all the way forward, no matter the enemy generals or soldiers he encountered, he was stabbed to death with a spear, to be honest, his means were still immature, just in terms of killing this point, there was a difference of 108,000 miles from Zhang Fei who used the snake spear uniformly, if he switched to a big knife, maybe Guan Yu could still give him a pointer or two, but insisting on the snake spear, Guan Yu could not do anything, of course he could help him introduce Zhang Fei, if he could have Zhang Fei's advice, then his attainments in the snake spear would definitely be able to improve a grade.

However, Zhang Fei's guidance may be a little difficult, unless he takes a fancy to this kid, but it will be difficult for Chen Feng to continue to stay in the Setshan camp at that time.

Zhang Fei doesn't have many powerful generals under his account, but he has been shouting to the lord to ask for someone, when Zhang Fei opens his mouth, can he refuse?

Watching the little guy stab a Jizhou soldier to death with a spear, Guan Yu really had to think about it carefully.

However, at this moment, he paid more attention to the changes on the battlefield, as the Langya army joined the battle, the pursuit battle was actually over, and the Jizhou army was undoubtedly defeated, of course, it was still possible for the Jizhou army to escape, but Guan Yu's ultimate goal was Yan Liang, this battle could make most of the Jizhou army escape, but Yan Liang must stay.

This is a complete settlement of many years of grievances, and at the same time, in order to analyze the battle of Peixian to have a more stable rear, take Yan Liang, and defeat the supreme commander of Jizhou in Qingzhou, even if there is any situation in the battle of Xuzhou, Yuan Shao must also change another general, otherwise he will definitely not choose a successor among the existing generals.

Therefore, if he is defeated, the Jizhou army in Qingzhou will stay honest, and even be afraid that they will attack Qingzhou at any time.

Under the pursuit of the Xuzhou army, the Jizhou army was originally very orderly under the leadership of Yan Liang, but now it has completely changed from evacuation to fleeing, and the scene is chaotic and scattered.

In particular, Du Yi led the guards to assassinate from the flank, which made this disorder even heavier, and the Jizhou army pushed each other and fled, but in front of the cavalry, they could not run a few meters to be caught up, and the guards who chased up would be killed with the spears and knives in their hands, even if they were not dead on the spot, they would soon be crushed by the war horses and turned into a mass of meat paste.

Yan Liang fought his way out under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, but this bloody road was bound to be full of countless dead corpses, stumps and broken arms, and it was unbearable to see, he just glanced back and was deeply shocked by such a scene.

The pain, the heart-piercing pain, pierced his heart, and he tasted the most humiliating defeat of his life in front of his greatest enemy, in front of the person he least wanted to lose.

He was unwilling and unconvinced, but under the wanton slashing of the Xuzhou army, he had to accept this reality, failed, and was completely defeated by Guan Yu!

This was the first time he had suffered such a crushing defeat to Guan Yu for many years, but he only ran for a while, and the Xuzhou army, which he thought had been thrown off, soon reappeared.

The figure of the Xuzhou cavalry who disappeared for a long time appeared in the rear, their standard armor and weapons were different from the dragoons, but it was this cavalry that made him embarrassed in the Langya army camp last night, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry, Yan Liang, who had fought with him, naturally knew his horror, his combat effectiveness was far above the Youzhou cavalry, and it was not even worse than the dragoons.

The dragoon army is a signboard of Liu Lan, and it is also a benchmark used by all the princes under Fang today to measure when they form cavalry troops, but compared with the battle-hardened dragoon army, the cavalry under Yuan Shao's account is obviously unable to compare with it in a short period of time, let alone surpass it.

But right now, there is such a cavalry unit under Liu Lan's account that is not inferior to the dragoon army at all, what a terrifying thing, like such a cavalry unit, one is an incomparably headache, not to mention that there are two more?

Such a reality is devastating for Yan Liang.

Once upon a time, maybe they did not have a cavalry unit comparable to it, but they had a long time in Liangzhou to fight in Liangzhou, he knew the cavalry tactics of the Qiang people, so after coming to Jizhou, he had a unique set of experience in dealing with cavalry with infantry, which showed great power on the bank of Luoshui.

Almost all of Liu Lan's cavalry troops were annihilated, if it wasn't for the fact that the number was too small, the dragoons had been slaughtered in that battle, and then Lu Yi continued to grow his first dead soldiers, and then there was a later defeat of the White Horse Yicong and the right Beiping cavalry.

However, when the lord dealt with Kojiyi, such troops were wiped out together, although many of them were recruited by Koji from Jizhou, but they were only loyal to Koji alone, although the lord also accepted a lot of Koji's headquarters, but this elite army of dead soldiers stood to the last person.

Their end was tragic, but they managed to be loyal enough to Koji Yoshi.

In fact, he hoped that the main public network would open up at that time, but just like the lord said, the reason why they are called dead soldiers shows that they have long put life and death out of the way, and Koji Yi can make them not afraid of death, what does it mean, it shows that they are impossible to use for me, and even attract all kinds of assassinations from them, if they can not even want their own lives for the sake of Koyi, they can kill themselves for the sake of Koyi to avenge Koji.

Just ask such a group of people, how can Yuan Shao keep them by his side.

It's really a pity, this is the only thought in Yan Liang's heart at that time, and it is also the most painful thought of Yan Liang now, if they are still there, if they can be used by me, then what is the Langya cavalry in front of him? Even Guan Yu's mountain camp, the first to ascend the dead, everything is broken, and everything is indestructible!

This is a force that makes Gongsun Chan collapse, this is a force that makes Xu Huang retreat, even Gongsun Chan's white horse Yicong and Xu Huang's Liaodong cavalry dare not fight it head-on, let alone these Langya cavalry in front of them, no matter how strong they are, even if they can be compared with the dragoons?

In front of the first deceased soldiers, they are also vulnerable, there is no cavalry in this world who can bargain in front of the dead soldiers of the emperor, and even if they don't run fast enough, they will be wiped out, isn't this his boasting, Gongsun Zhan's once proud cavalry unit was defeated by the Jizhou army? Yes and no, they could not have been defeated if they had not been the first to die.

Gongsun Chan lost to no one in his eyes, and lost to arrogance, but it wasn't because he met a terrible opponent like Ko Yi, maybe it was another person, even if it was him, now they and Gongsun Chan may still be in a stalemate with each other, and they can't really defeat him, but he doesn't want to defeat them again.

Just like the summary made by Fu Zhu after the Battle of Jizhou, Tian Feng did his best, had calculated everything, and made a plan, according to the plan, he could have won a big victory, but Liu Lan changed the final ending, and this factor led to such a passive situation in the final Battle of Jizhou.

At this time, although he was still helping Tian Feng exonerate, but after saying a thousand things and ten thousand, Yuan Shao could no longer reuse him as before, plus Tian Feng's several offenses, he was even more dissatisfied with him, so in that battle, they were not defeated by Gongsun Zhan, but a better opponent Liu Lan.

But without Liu Lan, they achieved a brilliant victory over Gongsun Zhan, or rather, Lu Yi used his methods against the Qiang people in Liangzhou to defeat Gongsun Zhan. Under such a premise, if Lu Yi is still there, or if the first dead soldier is still there, he believes that this battle will not be such a situation, but it is too late, and there is no if in this world, this is the reality, he fled under the pursuit of the Langya cavalry.

However, these maggots on the tarsal bones made it impossible for him to escape into Dongguan safely.

Just a few hours ago, he was most worried about the possible interception of enemy troops in the direction of Dongguan, now it's okay, don't worry about this, whether he can enter Dongguan, or even whether he can escape back alive is about to become a luxury.

In such a situation, is the ambush in Dongguan still critical, it has long been not the key, and whether or not it can get rid of the pursuers is the only hope. At that time, what are you afraid of, because he still has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses at that time, and now he is about to become a bare-bones commander, what else is there to be afraid of?
