Chapter 357: : Yuan Shuying

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "Ziyuan don't need to worry, someone will be responsible for this." Lu Bu said.

Although Chen Lan was puzzled, she still clasped her fists and said yes.

Long before Lu Bu led the cavalry to set off, one hundred and fifty flying eagle soldiers had already scattered on the battlefield, clearing obstacles along the way, including Yuan Shu's sentinel lurking outside the city. This was also the reason why Lu Bu was relieved to lead the army. A hundred eagle soldiers played a very limited role in the confrontation of thousands of people, but they are scary when they are active on the battlefield. Flying eagles can bring extremely useful information to the army. This is also where Lu Bu's confidence in cutting off Yuan Shuliang Dao lies.

Chen Lan keenly discovered that from time to time there were mysteriously dressed men in black, whispering to Lu Bu, and the cavalry kept changing the direction of advancement.

Compared with Chen Lan, Wei Yan pays more attention to the combat effectiveness of the army and personal force. Of course, Wei Yan is also very outstanding in strategy. He needs to stand out in this operation, make contributions and make a surprise attack, and is also Wei Yan's favorite. Yes, a war must be won at the least cost. As for what kind of method it is, it becomes less important after victory. Wei Yan also admired Lu Bu's ability to lead his troops to cut off Yuan Shu's army.

"Ziyuan used to be in Yuan Shujun and was very familiar with the front. From your point of view, where does Yuan Shu's army need to go to transport grain and grass?" Lu Bu asked in a low voice.

Chen Lan frowned. After thinking for a long time, she slowly said: "Master, the transportation of grain is an absolute secret in the army. It is impossible to know from the status of the subordinates at that time, but Yuan Shu's army has tens of thousands. The daily consumption of grain and grass is also extremely alarming. It is extremely difficult for the grain transport team to hide their traces. After careful investigation, they will surely find traces."

"Okay, Benhou will give you a hundred cavalry, responsible for investigating Yuan Shu's army of food and grass, and Wei Yan will go with him." Lu Bu said.

The two clasped their fists and looked at each other. They all saw a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes. Wei Yan almost broke the incident for Chen Lan led by the cavalry. It is impossible not to take it seriously, but now the two of them Being in the Union State Army, it is naturally difficult to mention the unpleasantness of the past. Now that there is competition, it is natural to let the other party see their own abilities. Of course, the premise of all this is to be able to discover the enemy's food path.

This is also the intention of Lu Bu, and the generals of the state army should not give the enemy an opportunity because of internal discord. The battlefield is the easiest place to run the generals together. He believes that Wei Yan and Chen Lan can eliminate the barriers between each other in cooperation.

After Lu Bu led the army to leave, Liu Biao strictly ordered the princes not to disclose the affairs of the Union State Army. In order not to attract Yuan Shu’s attention, Liu Biao still ordered his soldiers to attack Anfeng, but the attack was much worse than in the past. Yuan Shu heaved a sigh of relief. Soldiers approached the city, and the city was inevitably panicked. The defenders in the city have also paid a price of nearly 3,000 people in the past few days. Compared with the soldiers of the vassal coalition, most of the soldiers in Huainan have not experienced war. The new recruits of, facing the swarming enemy forces, they sometimes get nervous and at a loss, and even forget to shoot arrows.

Yuan Shu asked his soldiers to guard the city in turn, so he didn't have the intention of training soldiers in the war. He wanted to use the blood of coalition soldiers to make his soldiers more elite, and then give the coalition a fatal blow.

The coalition forces slowed down the pace of siege of the city, and the defenders on the city felt a lot easier, and it was easy to make various defensive actions in accordance with the orders of the generals.

At this moment, Yuan Shu received a war note from the Allied Forces of the princes.

Facing the war, the civil servants and military generals in the middle talked a lot.

Yuan Huan stepped forward and said: "Holy Lord, the thief army must have no food and grass. If you want to fight and make a quick decision, you only need to hold on to the city. , To prevent the rebels from bypassing Anfeng and attacking other cities, the rebel armies will have nothing to do."

Situ Yanxiang said: "Holy, there are a large number of the rebel coalition forces, and the food consumed is not a few. Our army is also like this. Now when the rebels attack the city, there is no longer the fierceness of the previous day. Seeing the strong city of Anfeng, the military will definitely float. The saint leads his troops to fight against the rebels with a dignified and upright division, and the big deal is settled, and the princes of He Chou are not interested in Dazhong's family."

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, "Yan Situ's words are also reasonable, the rebel army is lax. There are 60,000 Zhongjia army inside and outside the city, and the soldiers will use their lives to break the rebel coalition."

"Holy Master, the Union State Army, Yanzhou Army, Xuzhou Army, and Jiangdong Army are small in number, but they are powerful and should not be ignored. I hope that the Holy Land will think twice." Yuan Chang said anxiously.

"Please think twice!" Wen Chen led by Yuan Huan persuaded.

"There is nothing to worry about the rebel coalition As long as the saint is willing to take that thing out, why not worry about breaking the rebel coalition!" Seeing Yuan Shu's expression of hesitation, Zhang Xun stepped forward.

"What the general said is quite true. Although the rebel coalition is powerful, our army is not weak. Hua Xiong led the 3,000 cavalry to kill the rebels that lost their helmets and unarmed, strengthening our army's prestige." Yan Xiang echoed. .

"Okay, just in the words of Situ and the general, five days later, he will face off against the rebels outside the city." Yuan Shu thought of what he had been hiding, confident, and there were flying knights in the state and the dead soldiers in Jizhou. There is no background, but there is no time to take it out. What he wants is to be able to defeat Liu Biao and others in one fell swoop.

Others did not understand the words of Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun and others, and there was a lot of discussion. The number of warriors in the princes' coalition was as low as 80,000. Although there are nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in the city and outside the city, they can really be put on the battlefield. Only forty thousand at most, this is an unequal battle.

Yuan Shu challenged the battle, but Liu Biao and others had expected that Yuan Shu had 100,000 men, but the army was scattered within the three cities, and the maximum number of soldiers and horses inside and outside the city was only 60,000. Although the coalition forces suffered heavy losses during the siege. , But there are more than 80,000 people, occupying an advantage in number. There are a lot of recruits in the Jingzhou Army, and the same is true for Yuan Shu's army, not to mention the strength of the coalition army with the help of the princes.

Cao Cao frowned when he heard the news. If he faced such a situation, unless he had sufficient confidence to decide on a battle, he would definitely not be so easy to make a decisive battle with the enemy, occupy the advantage of the city, and fight with both sides. Starting a field battle is very different.

"Lord, I am afraid that Yuan Shu has some support, so that he dared to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces." Teasing said in a low voice.

"Depending on the battle?" Cao Cao asked in doubt: "Could it be Hua Xiong's cavalry?
