From the world of martial arts

Chapter 219 Xiaosheng
"The elite of the Kanto princes?"

"That's right, during the daytime battle, that large army first fired long-range bows and crossbows. In just a few tens of breaths, they fired no less than 20 crossbow arrows."

"Afterwards the two armies fought, and the main generals were all warriors. At the same time, the armor rate of their soldiers was extremely high, and almost all of them were wearing armor."

"I'm afraid this is not inferior to the forbidden army of the imperial court."

"I don't know, which side's army is this that has such financial resources?"

Xu Rong sees the deep essence through the appearance, that is the forces behind this army, not to mention other things, the financial resources are extremely astonishing.

Their Xiliang army robbed Luoyang's treasury, and they didn't equip the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang army with armor, but this group, he observed secretly, almost all fought in armor.

This is different.

He is very clear that there is still a big difference between having armor and not having armor.

About today's battle, he asked some low-level officers who came back, and the news they answered made his heart sink even more.

The fighting ability of the opponent's soldiers is not bad, and because of the armor protection, except for the poor experience, everything else is better than their soldiers.

Therefore, the two armies fought hand in hand, and in a short period of time, they lost two thousand soldiers and horses, while the opponent lost less than five hundred.

After Xu Rong said all this, Niu Fu's expression froze.

"really?"

Niu Fu asked a question, and this Lieutenant General Li nodded frantically, and hit the [-]th floor again. With his physique, although his life is not in danger, he probably won't be able to get out of bed for a while.

Then the war has nothing to do with him, this is unacceptable to him.

"so smart?"

Although Niu Fu's ability to lead troops is not very strong, he also knows what Xu Rong said.

If the opponent is really that strong, they probably won't be able to send troops easily, after all, they still don't have an advantage in numbers.

"The princes of the Kanto, after all, occupy the Central Plains. Behind this army, there is likely to be some top-notch family. Those families have a profound heritage, accumulated for thousands of years, and their wealth must be terrifying."

"So the accumulated equipment is definitely not bad."

"Compared with Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang and others, they are much more difficult to deal with."

Xu Rong said with a solemn expression.

"Then Zhongguang, what do you think we should do next?"

Hearing this, Niu Fu looked at Xu Rong. Although he was the coach appointed by the Prime Minister, he also knew that he was able to achieve this position not because of his ability, but because of his identity.

Xu Rong's ability is superior to his, especially the ability to command and fight, which is far superior to him.

Before, he could crush Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang and others without Xu Rong, but now, he had to change his mind.

"General, first of all, we need to find out who this army is and how many elites they have."

"If there are many people, then we will stick to the camp. If there are not many people, we can use cavalry to swallow this group."

Xu Rong heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly.

"In addition, there are a large number of enemy troops. In terms of food and grass, it must be very troublesome. The general can shoot the scouts first, find their food team, and then take the opportunity to attack and kill them."

They rely on Heyang Jinshui, and there are countless military ships to transport food and grass. There is no problem in terms of food, and they can spend time with each other slowly.

If it doesn't work, just back out and go back to the other side of the river.

Although Xu Rong was afraid of the elites that appeared today, he was not afraid. After all, they had [-] Xiliang cavalry here, and these [-] Xiliang cavalry were even stronger than the [-] elites.

The cavalry itself is the king of the army, and the Xiliang iron cavalry is a veteran of hundreds of battles for many years. It has gathered military spirit, and even if he is the commander, he can condense the general's spirit and transform military supernatural powers, making the combat power even more terrifying.

On the other side, in Su Fan's barracks, Tao Qian came with Kong Ni and congratulated Su Fan. He had made great achievements in the first battle.

A few days ago, Zhang Yang and the others lost their soldiers and generals, but today Dong Zhuo's army lost thousands of soldiers and horses.

Although the number is not large, it has greatly improved the morale of their army along the way.

"Ning An, the old man did not misunderstand you. In today's battle, give Xiliang a blow and let them know that our Xuzhou soldiers and horses are not easy to mess with."

Tao Qian was very happy and toasted frequently.

"However, Ning An, you can't treat one more favorably than another. I have over [-] Xuzhou soldiers handed over to you. You also need to let them make some contributions on the battlefield, so that the old man can also benefit from me."

"Of course, since Mr. Tao ordered it, Ning An will definitely do it."

"It's just a test today. Xiliang's army is really not easy."

Su Fan responded with a smile: "In the future, Xuzhou soldiers will suffer losses. Mr. Tao, don't feel sorry for them. Instead, blame me."

"Haha! There is no one who is immortal in a war."

Tao Qian said indifferently, "As long as Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, can be taken down, even my 15 army will be worth it."

Naturally, Su Fan would not take Tao Qian's words seriously. No matter whether the other party was sincere or not, he could not treat Tao Qian's soldiers, especially those tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers, as cannon fodder.

However, Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers are really good, they can be regarded as rare elites in the coalition army.

In the alliance army, not all of them are rich and hungry, and some princes also have some elite soldiers under their command.

After all, most of these princes came from first-class backgrounds, and their families were powerful, so it would be no problem to raise some soldiers and horses.

For example, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and the others brought a small number of soldiers from the villages who were quite elite, wearing armor and sophisticated weapons.

It's just that there are not many of them.

As the governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian is not a puppet of those aristocratic families in Xuzhou, so the wealth and power he can use is not small.

It is not too difficult to raise a soldier.

Just like the governor of Jizhou, he brought over hundreds of thousands of troops. In Su Fan's eyes, there were tens of thousands of troops, which were regarded as elite soldiers.

As for the Yuan brothers, let alone.

On Su Fan's side, they were celebrating late at night, and on the other side, Zhang Yang and other small groups had a rather bad atmosphere.

After all, they fought for more than half a month, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, and they kept retreating. However, Su Fan and the others fought against Dong Zhuo's vanguard army on the first day, losing thousands of soldiers and horses.

It doesn't hurt without contrast.

They fought for more than half a month and lost [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to cause so many losses in Xiliang, while the latter only lost a few hundred soldiers.

Sad or ashamed.

Of course, it's more about jealousy or grudges. You have such a strong strength, why don't you come here and watch our jokes from behind instead.

This is roughly to publicize the inner thoughts of their small group.

Su Fan didn't know what these people were thinking. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care, because these people couldn't threaten them at all.
