Chapter 677: Cutting off the grain
Mobile reading
The cavalry who followed Gongsun Yu was also stunned, the first warrior in the Liaodong Army, actually captured Lu Bu in two rounds, and expected that the sergeant looked at Lu Bu with a trace of fear, they were the elite soldiers of Liaodong, but they were not dead soldiers, how the cavalry led by Lu Bu was in the battle outside the city before, and the soldiers in the army had also heard of it, and now they saw Lu Bu with their own eyes, and they had already retreated.
After capturing Gongsun Yu alive, Lu Bu was still a little unsatisfied, the speed of the red rabbit horse gave him a very enjoyable feeling, in contrast, Xuan Hu was a little worse in speed, which was also the reason why Xuan Hu did not grow up completely, and in the future, Xuan Hu was also a big help for him on the battlefield.
"Who would dare to come forward to fight!" Lu Bu rode his horse with a halberd, stood in the center of the battle array, and shouted majestically.
The cavalry of the Liaodong Army shrank their necks when they heard this, and many cavalrymen glanced at each other, all of them seeing fear in each other's eyes.
The loss of the general before the battle had already made their morale drop, if the two armies had just met, they would not have been so afraid of Lu Bu, but in front of Lu Bu's force, they felt their insignificance.
"Kill!" The halberd in Lu Bu's hand swung forward heavily, and the archers, who were ready to attack, rode their horses to kill the Liaodong cavalry.
The Liaodong cavalry, who had no will to fight in their hearts, saw the archers rushing to kill, and after a fight, they fled back to the camp.
Lu Bu led the cavalry, and came to the front of the coalition army's camp with great strength, and when he was always fighting, he was the only one who called the enemy to the battle, when was it the turn of the Liaodong Army to be so arrogant.
Gongsun Yu two rounds for Lu Busheng captured, the news of the defeat of the Liaodong cavalry reached the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone in the tent frowned, especially Gongsun Kang's heart is not a taste, Gongsun Yu has followed the Gongsun family for many years, not just subordinates, it can be said to be a banner in the Liaodong Army, every time there is a war, Gongsun Yu is the first soldier, and his prestige in the army is still relatively high, once the news of Gongsun Yu is captured by Lu Busheng in the army, it will cause what a shock to the soldiers under his command.
"I don't want the Marquis of Jin to be so brave." Gongsun Kang sighed.
Among the coalition forces, although Xu You's status is not low, but he has no military power in his hands to a certain extent, he can only give advice and mediate in the middle, and Yan Rou and Yan Dun are also happy to see the Liaodong Army lose troops and generals, who made Gongsun Kang's performance too domineering.
"Who dares to come forward to fight Ben Hou?" Lu Bu poured out Fang Tian's halberd, stood in front of the large army camp and shouted.
The generals above the camp saw that Lu Bu had come to fight outside the camp, and hurriedly sent people to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Gongsun Kang was furious when he heard this, "The Marquis of Jin has insulted us so much, why don't you send your fierce generals to capture the Marquis of Jin in one fell swoop." ”
Yan Rou looked at the angry Gongsun Kang like an idiot, what kind of person is the Marquis of Jin, with the generals in the coalition army wanting to capture Lu Bu alive, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and the personal guard commander Dian Wei beside Lu Bu has the courage of ten thousand people, on fighting alone, Lu Bu is not afraid, on group battles, and the state army has never been afraid.
"General Gongsun, at this time, our army should build more siege equipment, and strive to capture Youbeiping in one fell swoop, and the battlefield is just a reckless man's doing." Xu Youdao.
Gongsun Kang's face kept changing, and his remarks just now were not to rescue Gongsun Yu, the general in the army, but Yan Rou and Bandun were silent at this time, obviously afraid of Lu Bu.
"The Bingzhou army is brave, and the Marquis of Jin is also a battlefield general, so beware of the Bingzhou army attacking the camp." Xu You reminded.
"Hmph, don't you think that our tens of thousands of troops are not arranged, if the Marquis of Jin dares to attack the camp, he will die without a place to be buried." Gongsun Kangdao, even if a person is brave, it is difficult to change the overall situation on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people.
"General, our scouts found that the enemy army was escorting grain and grass, and there were less than 1,000 soldiers escorting grain and grass."
The news from the scouts made Yan Rou and the others feel moved, they have been besieging Youbeiping for a month, and the harvest season is coming soon, it is expected that there is not much grain and grass in the city, as long as this batch of grain and grass is cut off, then the defenders will face the point of no grain and grass, and this battle is their victory.
Xu You thought in his heart, since the Marquis of Jin went to war, the protection of grain and grass has been extremely strict, and at the same time, he also understands that this is the last chance for the coalition army, if the enemy's grain and grass cannot be cut off, it must be them who leave in the ashes, and at that time, Lu Bu will definitely lead the army to pacify Liaodong.
Even if the Gongsun family has a great prestige in Liaodong, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers under their command, can they stop the iron cavalry of the Bingzhou army.
As for expecting Jizhou to send troops, it is impossible for the time being, at this time, Yuan Shao will not give Lu Bu an excuse to attack Jizhou, after the Battle of Dangyin, Jizhou has not recovered from that defeat, and what has been lost is not only the armor blades and baggage, but also the morale of the army.
If Youzhou is turbulent because of the attack of the tripartite coalition army, Jizhou is not unavoidable, and the premise of everything is that the Youzhou army is too busy to take care of itself, but after today's battle, Xu You has no confidence in the coalition army.
The smooth arrival of Lu Bu made Xu You realize that the war of planning Youzhou was going to end without a problem, one of the coalition forces was not in harmony, especially in the face of interests, they would often fight for red faces, otherwise the right Beiping was captured that night, and the other was tens of thousands of troops, and the amount of grain and grass consumed every day was greater, once the cavalry led by Lu Bu cut off the grain route, it would be dangerous.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that the key to this victory and defeat lies in the grain and grass, if the enemy's grain and grass can be cut off, then the battle of Youzhou will be decided." Xu Yu said firmly.
Yan Rou and the others also nodded in agreement, especially Badun, after seeing the power of the archers, he had already had the idea of retreating, and he really had no confidence in fighting with Lu Bu, he originally thought that after equipping the stirrups, the strength of his cavalry would be infinitely close to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry in Bingzhou.
Who knew that such a strange cavalry suddenly appeared in the Bingzhou army, the bows and arrows of these cavalry, it was difficult for people to resist, and he even regretted it a little, why did he listen to Xu Yu's bewitchment at the beginning, and led the soldiers and horses to attack Youbeiping, but now instead of getting any benefits, he has lost his troops and generals.
"General Ben agrees with Lord Xu's statement, the importance of grain and grass to the army must be clear to all of you." Gongsun Kangdao.
After some planning, Badon returned to the army with a heavy mind.
"King Wuhuan, the Marquis of Jin led the troops here, our army suffered heavy losses, and the cavalry under his command was less than a thousand, and in the long run, I am afraid that we will be defeated." Su Fuyan said with a heavy face.
