Chapter 965 Analysis

On Zhang Yu's side, although a few generals were restrained, Cao Jun suffered a great loss when more than a dozen young generals exerted their strength.

Zhang Yu's young generals are also very capable. Leading people into the battle, they achieved an overwhelming victory locally.

There was a young general who rushed over, chopped off the head of the enemy general, and then slaughtered. The small area of ​​the enemy army killed was blank, and the other enemy troops had to rush over to support.

Once or twice is occasional, but when this happens across the entire front, it's a problem.

Cao Ang's face turned dark. He had been working hard to promote this decisive battle. He originally wanted to know how far he was from Jiangdong's troops.

Originally, Cao Ang expected that the outcome would be between five and five, and he was well prepared, so he would be able to achieve a result that was not too far behind, but now it seems that the result is not very good.

The bloody battle between the two sides continued until the sky was dark.

The battle lasted for several hours, soldiers kept falling, and both sides continued to invest in soldiers and horses until all the soldiers and horses were invested.

After a few hours, Cao Jun finally couldn't hold on.

"withdraw."

Cao Ang had to order a retreat, and it was dangerous to continue fighting.

After receiving the order, several generals withdrew slowly, retreating while fighting.

Zhang Yu and the others took the opportunity to hide and kill them, but their side was also very tired and couldn't overwhelm them all at once.

Failed to overwhelm the opponent, naturally let the opponent escape.

After two or three miles of pursuit, Zhang Yu ordered the pursuit to stop.

Zhang Yu looked around, every soldier was covered in blood, and some were injured.

This battle was earth-shattering and blood flowed like rivers.

Zhang Yu's hands trembled a little. He kept charging and hitting with weapons, and his hands were shaken countless times.

The soldiers were also very tired, and many of them were speechless.

Zhang Yu rearranged the army a little bit, and then ordered to retreat.

When walking back, Zhang Yu looked at his army,

The losses in this battle were huge.

Fifty thousand heavy cavalry, with a loss of 21,000 people, you must know that every soldier of the heavy cavalry has to go through strict selection and then rigorous training.

As for the other armies, more than half of them were also killed.

Everyone returned slowly, and many soldiers lost their strength.

Fighting for several hours is too much of a test.

As for the battlefield, leave it to other armies to handle it.

Tens of thousands of soldiers died in this land.

For a distance of forty miles, they walked for nearly four hours, which was definitely not the case in normal times.

Zhang Liao personally led his troops to the surrounding area to meet them and cover their retreat.

In fact, Cao Jun also had no strength to continue fighting, and both sides suffered huge losses in this battle.

Cao Ang took a little inventory on the road, but the result made him feel extremely bitter.

The tiger and leopard cavalry killed more than 38,000 people in the battle. This was Cao Jun's strongest combat power. After colliding with Zhang Yu's army, there were so many casualties.

The other infantrymen also lost about 40,000 people and suffered heavy casualties.

110,000 troops, more than 70,000 people died in battle.

"Eldest son, it's my uncles who failed to fight this battle well." Xiahou Dun said softly as he walked beside Cao Ang.

Cao Ang glanced at the injured Xiahou Dun, then shook his head lightly and said, "It's not that we are incompetent, it's that Zhang Yu is too strong."

Cao Ang watched the whole battle carefully, and the gap between the two armies was still very large.

Going back separately, although the scale of this battle is not unprecedented, it is not small.

This battle will have a great impact on both armies.

Back in the city, Zhang Yu began to count, and when the accurate data came, Zhang Yu's loss still made him heartbroken.

Zhang Yu called several generals over.

"My lord, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry have formed combat strength. Although they are not as good as ours, they should not be underestimated." Huang Zhong said

Huang Zhong fought recklessly with them, so he naturally felt deeply.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yu said, "Han Sheng, is there any way for this heavy cavalry to expand to 100,000 people?"

Huang Zhong was silent for a long time before he said: "My lord, the heavy cavalry costs too much. At the beginning, it is four or five times that of ordinary infantry. When the training starts, the usual consumption is several times that of infantry. Let alone 100,000 heavy cavalry. Even if you can afford it, if you don’t have two years, it may be difficult to select enough soldiers.”

Zhang Yu was silent for a while, he could get money if he wanted it, but he couldn't help if he wanted someone.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt that his military strength was too limited.

"The heavy cavalry must expand its army. It counts as many soldiers as can be found at that time. There is no limit to the establishment."

This time, in the fight with Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, although the enemy was maimed, the own side also suffered a lot.

Huang Zhong promised to come down and prepare after returning.

Zhang Yu added: "After we go back, it is very important for everyone to evaluate the war and Cao Jun's combat power. In the future, we will go to war, and this war will be our important evaluation."

What Zhang Yu is doing, Cao Ang is also doing.

This battle can be used as a basis for the generals of both sides to refer to.

Without considering other conditions, it can be used as a comparison of the combat effectiveness of troops, providing an important reference for generals to make decisions.

Although Zhang Yu and the others won this battle, what would happen if it was a decisive battle with hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides.

Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses have the highest fighting power. This is a fact that no one dares to deny, but Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses are too scattered, which is something they can't do.

"When the news of the battle in Yangzhou comes, I have to evaluate the combat power of the Fusang army."

Fusang people have now reached the level of tens of millions, and it is easy to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops.

If they can be used, Zhang Yu naturally wants to use them, but if they can't be used, then everything is needless to say.

If the Fusang army can be used, Zhang Yu's pressure will be relieved.

It can also take the opportunity to disperse the population of Fusang and find a way to slowly dilute them.

Both sides in this battle are very serious.

In the next few days, Zhang Yu and the others conducted a summary and analysis, and there was no more fighting between the two sides.

The northern front has temporarily ceased fighting, and the southern war is about to start. A few days later, Zhang Yu received Guo Jia and took the entire Lujiang County.

The entire Lujiang County fell into Zhang Yu's hands, and Zhang Yu's territory expanded again, and at the same time he took over the affluent Poyang Lake area.

Get up early, when Zhang Yu took Poyang Lake, it was still full of wasteland, and later sold it to Sun Ce, Sun Ce focused on business development, and soon became a granary.

Sun Ce also used this to develop the army.

Now that it has fallen into Zhang Yu's hands again, Zhang Yu will naturally not sell it again.

The northern front has thus stabilized for the time being.

In the south, Guo Jia mobilized troops after a rest and threatened Lu'an City.

At this time, Lu'an City is not so important, but it is also an important supporting city in this area.

It is an important barrier of Shouchun City.

Guo Jia's threat to Lu'an City may change many things.

At this time, everyone knew that Zhang Yu's real purpose was the Poyang Lake area. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
