Brothers, insist, General Guan is coming soon.

Zhou Cang shouted and swept the double hammer sideways forward, and the huge impact force immediately swept to a Jizhou soldier, hit the shield he was holding, and immediately knocked it away, falling heavily to the ground, blood gushing out from the seven holes, and then his eyes were closed, completely killed.

There is such a big killer as Zhou Cang to rush left and right, the east of the Setshan camp is huge, the so-called soldier is a bear, will be a nest of bears, he took the lead in killing the enemy, the situation that was originally extremely unfavorable to the Setshan camp was immediately reversed, but under the huge strength advantage of the Jizhou army, in fact, the situation was reversed for a while, and soon more Jizhou troops would kill and rush over, the most common situation is that this Setshan battalion finally killed an enemy army, and several Jizhou troops would come in an instant, and they were all rushed, All sorts of long and short blades beckoned to them.

Under such an offensive, not to mention that you don't have three heads and six arms, even if you have, you can't resist at all, and you will either be killed or retreat soon.

I have to say that today's Jizhou army, but now it is not what it used to be, alive to say, it is very different from what they encountered before, and it is also that the Jizhou army they encountered before was not the main force, the main force was in Youzhou, and under the leadership of Liyi to deal with Gongsun Zhan, so whether it was Yuan Tan or Gao Ran, who was defeated at that time, there was no reference value.

On the contrary, it will make them a little underestimated, but once they meet the main force of the real Jizhou army, they will be killed by surprise immediately.

And after years of fighting with Gongsun Zhan, the Jizhou army can be said to be extremely strong in terms of individual soldiers and group combat, and may not be comparable to the Setshan battalion in terms of individual physical fitness, but in terms of group combat, at least they are not bad.

In fact, such an enemy is not unfamiliar, many soldiers who came out of Liaodong know that compared with those Donghu and even the righteous army, their opponents will become stronger and stronger, this is not only the consensus of these soldiers, even Liu Lan knew it early on, even earlier than their soldiers.

The person with the deepest memory is Xu Rong when he was begging Dong, it was he who opened Liu Lan's eyes, he used to be like the evaluation of most people in the world, a kid from a remote place who didn't know how high the sky was, how deep the sky was, thinking that he was invincible in the world when he dealt with some Donghu, that was because he didn't touch them and Xiqiang, otherwise he would be beaten back to his original shape in a battle.

This is obviously purely to belittle Liu Lan, but it is not all about belittling for the sake of belittling, as if he met Xu Rong and Cao Cao was so embarrassed, this is the most profound defeat in Liu Lan's memory, although his losses are not very large, but Cao Cao was wiped out.

Of course, Liu Lan is actually a little unconvinced, but if Luo Guanzhong is blamed for the failure, after all, the battle of Xingyang is a prologue to fight Dong rather than the end, and it is inevitable that he is making excuses for himself.

After all, you yourself are a general in command of the three armies, and fighting the enemy depends entirely on your knowledge of history.

Changes on the battlefield, how can it be according to your understanding of history and remain unchanged, maybe a slight deviation will lead to a change in the final result, you failed to perceive Xu Rong's plan, but blamed this battle on the romance, just to make excuses for your own failure.

But it has to be said that the princes of Kwantung, after all these years of development, have made great progress in the army.

Liu Lan knows this best.

When the Dong was discussed, the princes would join the alliance, and there were only a few people who could really be called elites, and the rest were now recruited soldiers, but these people in the Central Plains, except for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, had not seen soldiers for decades or even hundreds of years, so how could it be possible for these people to become elites when they threw down their hoes.

But with the development of the past few years, they have grown from the original people to a qualified soldier, whether it is Cao Jun or Yuan Shaojun.

And Yuan Shaojun, because of the confrontation with Gongsun Zhan, has continuously improved its combat effectiveness, and there is also a general who has achieved great success in Xiqiang and has rich experience in fighting cavalry.

It can be said that he was in Jizhou, although he was once regarded as an outsider, but he played an unparalleled role in the army construction of the Jizhou army.

It is very difficult to improve the individual combat ability of the troops, and it is difficult to see results without a few years of cultivation, but it is easy to fight in formations and pay attention to groups, and this is also the way that Liyi can improve the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Army in a short time, and it is also Liyi who has a clear understanding of the Jizhou Army, so that he can lead the Jizhou Army to such a brilliant victory in a few years.

If it weren't for him, let alone defeating Gongsun Zhan, even if it was to recover the lost territory in Jizhou, it would be a fool's dream.

I'm afraid that in Jizhou now, the biggest force is Gongsun Zhan, not Yuan Shao.

If it is a hand-to-hand combat of individual soldiers, they are really not the opponents of these mountain battalions in front of them, don't look at them as only 5,000 people, there is absolutely no problem with them being ten to deal with them, but if they are fighting in formation, the mountain camp will not have this ability, although their individual ability is very strong, but the advantage can not be brought into play, so the form on the battlefield is always very passive.

"Kill!"

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Setshan battalion under the leadership of Zhou Cang frantically killed the Jizhou army, and for a while, the shouting and killing sound resounded in the sky, and when the two sides were at a stalemate, suddenly there was a huge shouting and killing sound in the distance.

The sound of killing shook the earth, there were tens of thousands of people, and they came in formation, acting in unison, tens of thousands of people maintained a step point, stepping, stepping, not only the sound shook the earth, but even the footsteps were enough to shock people's hearts.

For a while, almost everyone in the battlefield subconsciously looked to the side and rear.

Laughter rang out.

The laughter of the soldiers of the Setshan Battalion rang out, and at this time, only General Guan Yu could come.

But the Jizhou army, which was silent, did not give up, maybe General Yuan Tan rushed over when he heard the news?

But soon, he was disappointed when he looked at the Jizhou army in the battle, including Yan Liang, who saw the red armor that represented the color of Liu Lanjun's army, and the general flag of Guan Yuzhong's leader.

His brows were furrowed, although he had fought with Guan Yu several times, and even despised Guan Yu very much for a time, but this time, he finally understood that the two had a grudge in Luoshui and a feud in the plains.

I thought that this day would come soon.

But in the end, I found out that the day when the grudge was settled, the two of them had to wait for so long, so long that the two seemed to have forgotten why they had a grudge back then, but no matter whether they forgot the reason why they had to get rid of each other at all costs, as long as they remembered the hatred in their hearts at that time, it was enough.

Just remembering it was enough to make him angry now.

"General, reinforcements from the enemy army are coming."

Yan Liang's sudden fugue made the generals around him a little anxious, and kept reminding him that he should let him lead people up now and completely defeat Zhou Cang, otherwise, once he was attacked from both sides by the Setshan camp, this battle would be dangerous.

Yan Liang, who came back to his senses, glanced left and right, and immediately ordered the troops to be collected, the troops were assembled, and they were unable to deal with both sides at the same time, but it was better to gather troops and fight with Guan Yu happily, in this battle he sent 50,000 troops, and the loss was less than 10,000, but Guan Yu's mountain camp was only 50,000, and it was not good to say who would kill the deer.

He didn't know that the main force of the Setshan battalion brought by Guan Yu was less than 30,000 even if the 5,000 people in Zhou Cang were counted, which was 10,000 fewer than them, but he was confident, because Huang Zhong's Langya army would definitely pursue him as long as he received the news, so he had nothing to fear.

Of course, if there is any concern, it is Yuan Tan of Ju County, if he also appears later, then this battle will really become a large-scale decisive battle between them and Jizhou.

With such a large investment of troops on both sides, if it was before, Guan Yu would naturally sigh, but now it will not be, the two battles of Xuzhou with Yuan Shu, the number of troops participating in the battle reached hundreds of thousands, far more than the troops they invested with the Jizhou army at this moment, even several times more, even such a large-scale operation has been involved, and even personally commanded, the battle of this scale in front of him can only be regarded as a medium-scale operation, for Guan Yu, who has already opened his eyes, it is not difficult to command such a battle.

Guan Yu commands operations, unlike Liu Lan, Liu Lan is the kind of general who likes to take risks and is willing to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit, or when there is a huge disparity in strength, he can only take such a risky way to fight, but it must be seen that this kind of combat method is facing great risks, and once it is perceived by the enemy, it is likely to lead to the annihilation of the whole army.

And Guan Yu prefers the way of fighting in front of him, although it seems that the difference in strength between the two sides is tens of thousands, but in fact, in such a large-scale battle, such a comparison of forces is actually nothing, it is easy to win 30,000 and 60,000, and it is easy to win 30,000 in 60,000, so as long as the tactics are used properly and there are no mistakes, then everything will be within his control.

Even if he can't win, he is confident that he will not lose too badly.

Unlike the lord, who uses troops like the lord, winning is a big victory, and defeating is nothing.

You can say that this is Guan Yu's conservative use of troops, but there is no doubt that his current use of troops is the most in line with Liu Lan's interests, and he can no longer take risks like he did back then, so he can only retreat to the second line.

Times are different, and his tactics are completely inconsistent with today's war.

In other words, he can't afford to lose now, if it is the former Liu Lan, he can afford to lose because he has nothing, or he has the huge backing of the Han Empire behind him, he has no scruples, without him, there can be others, and if he wants to get ahead, he must adopt a little extreme method, only in this way can he rise to the throne faster, otherwise he will not have today's status.

But now, when he is the backing, he can only act as the role that backs his generals, and his generals will play a variety of roles.

That's how different it is today.

He didn't know that the main force of the Setshan battalion brought by Guan Yu was less than 30,000 even if the 5,000 people in Zhou Cang were counted, which was 10,000 fewer than them, but he was confident, because Huang Zhong's Langya army would definitely pursue him as long as he received the news, so he had nothing to fear.
