Chapter 976: The princes tackle the key problems
The generals are also very yearning for fame, and the most important way for the generals to win fame is the battlefield.
"The rest of the generals are ready, once the princes' army attacks the city, it will definitely not sleep, what this marquis wants you to do is to protect yourself to the greatest extent and kill and injure the enemy." Lu Budao.
"Wow," the generals in the field said in unison.
Although the state army has such sharp weapons as bed crossbows and thunderbolts, it is a great deterrent to the besieging side, and when the enemy army begins to attack the city on a large scale, the threat to the defenders is huge, whether it is a thunderbolt or a bed crossbow, although it has a suppressive effect in the range, once the soldiers of the princes attack the Huguan, the effect is not very large, and it is time to test the elite level of the soldiers under his command.
Moreover, the princes knew that the state army had thunderbolts and bed crossbows, so they must have taken precautions when attacking the fortifications, and the greatest damage to the princes' soldiers was also when the princes' armies were tackling the fortifications.
"Li Yan, how is the things that Ben Hou asked you to prepare?" Lu Bu looked at Li Yan and asked.
"Rest assured, my lord, everything is ready." Li Yan hugged his fist.
A fierce look flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, since the princes wanted to make the merger army a thing of the past, he didn't need to have too many scruples in his actions.
Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He has something to say?" β
Jia Xu glanced at the generals in the field, and the generals who looked at him all trembled in their hearts, the last thing they were used to was to look into Jia Xu's eyes, as if their inner thoughts could be pierced under such a gaze.
"The strength of the Bingzhou army is famous all over the world, but there are some princes' meticulous work within the Bingzhou army, which is inevitable, but as generals, you have the responsibility of supervising the soldiers under your command." Jia Xu said slowly.
When the generals in the field heard this, their hearts tightened, and the appearance of the princes' fine works in the army, as Jia Xu said, is unavoidable, but once these fine works occupy a relatively high position, once the princes' alliance forces suddenly attack the city, it will still have a great impact.
"The generals of all ministries must be well aware of the generals under their command, and report to those whose origins are unknown in a timely manner." Jia Xuyan arched his hand to Lu Bu.
Lu Budao: "As the military advisor said, the detailed work is very important, a city is really broken through head-on, more often than not, there are internal problems, such as the former Pengcheng, the city is high and deep, and there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, but it was broken by the Cao army, but it was because the family secretly took refuge." β
At the third watch, the gate of Huguan was wide open, and a cavalry team of 1,000 people took advantage of the night to disappear outside Huguan.
At this time, outside Huguan, more often than not, it is a place where the scouts of the princes and the scouts of the state army compete, and the scouts of both sides show their strengths here, although the alliance of the princes occupies an absolute advantage in numbers, but the overall level of the princes' scouts is a little worse, especially the unique existence of the flying eagle and the shadow guard in the state army.
Now there are more than ten Flying Eagle soldiers lurking in the princes' army, providing the army with the movements of the princes' army, the leader of the shadow guard, Wang Yue, is so arrogant, naturally unwilling to be suppressed by the flying eagle, the shadow guard is also doing everything they can to find out the information.
Compared with the Flying Eagle soldiers, the personal ability of the Shadow Guards is stronger, they are heroes from the rivers and lakes, and they pay more attention to the improvement of their personal strength, in this regard, the soldiers of the Flying Eagle are incomparable.
Most of the famous knights on the rivers and lakes have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and under hard work, their martial arts are more powerful, and they are also comfortable when facing the enemy alone.
On this night, the princes and scouts lurking outside Huguan were unlucky, in order to better hide the travel of the Sun Bow Rider, the Flying Eagle and the Shadow Guard were powerful at the same time, and the scouts who thought they were lurking well were directly slaughtered.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce have been paying attention to the movements of Huguan, even though the princes now have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, but they dare not take it lightly, mainly because the cavalry strength of the Bingzhou army is too strong, once the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army appears on the battlefield, it is definitely a lingering nightmare for the team escorting grain and grass.
Ever since they entered the rule of LΓΌ Bu, the scouts of the princes have been trying to find out if there are any cavalry from the state army in Hanoi, and to their relief, there is no trace of cavalry.
After Cao Cao and the other three received the news of the heavy casualties of the scouts, their brows furrowed, they felt an extraordinary taste from this matter, and they even suspected that the cavalry of the Bingzhou army had quietly come out of the pot pass, after all, the scouts of the Bingzhou army behaved too abnormally.
Although the three parties were temporarily united in one place, when they really attacked Huguan, they were responsible for the escort of grain and grass, and they were also on guard against each other.
The next day, the princes' coalition army sent 30,000 troops, approaching Huguan, and the army in the camp of the princes' coalition army also moved, and the 30,000 army was only the first step of the attack, as long as the attack on Huguan began, there was absolutely no reason to stop.
The princes will not give Huguan a chance to breathe, if they do not attack, if they do, they will let Huguan fall into a sleepless war, only in this way can they give full play to their numerical advantage.
One hundred and fifty thunderbolts, pushed by the soldiers, slowly approached the Huguan.
On the closing, Lu Bu, who was dressed in military uniform, looked coldly at the coalition of princes outside the pass, and the thunderbolt on the huguan was ready to go, just waiting for the thunderbolt of the princes' coalition army to approach the firing range before it began to wield.
"Originally, what did this line outside the Huguan mean?" Cao Cao asked, about this special line outside the Huguan, the princes have a lot of conjectures, but they don't know what it means.
Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Ben Hou also doesn't know. β
"What does this line do, just break the pot off." Sun Ce said.
Zhuge Liang looked at the line not far away, his face was heavy, and the state army would not be untargeted, the existence of this line must have a unique meaning.
When the thunderbolt crossed the white line, there was not the slightest movement.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief.
When there were three hundred steps away from Huguan, the thunderbolt car in front slowly stopped, and the princes chose to attack Huguan in a similar way to Ma Chao's method of attacking Longguan, as long as they could make the thunderbolt car in front of it gain an advantage, the thunderbolt in the rear would continue to step forward and win the advantage in the thunderbolt duel by virtue of the numerical advantage.
Only by completely confronting the Bingzhou army on the Thunderbolt can it pose a real threat to Huguan, otherwise it will be extremely heavy to rely on the superiority in numbers.
