The cavalry sent by Qin Yuan quickly entered the battlefield, catching the imperial camp by surprise and achieving excellent results.
In this daily war of attrition.
Both sides will send 10 to 20 million troops every day to compete for hundreds of miles of battlefield territory, expand each strategic territory, and establish basic defense lines.
Most of these troops are the most ordinary troops, serving as cannon fodder.
The imperial camp was prepared to use this war of attrition to continuously wear down the strength of the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army had exactly the same intention and sent a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers who were transferred from peasants to join the battlefield.
The most indispensable thing for the Yellow Turban Army is cannon fodder soldiers.
In addition, there is the player army.
It’s not about how keen the players are on fighting, or whether they want to help whichever camp wins.
But to gain merit.
Since it was a war of attrition, although both sides invested a lot of troops, their establishment was basically in units of tens of thousands, scattered across a huge battlefield.
Therefore, scattered small-scale battles are the norm in this battlefield.
There are relatively few large-scale troops going out.
It is extremely rare for Qin Yuan to directly dispatch a million troops, even if they are divided into ten groups.
It's not that both sides don't have the strength to send troops of this size.
Rather, once a large legion is dispatched to the battlefield, the opponent will definitely send a large legion to fight.
As a result, the war will inevitably escalate.
The active attack of Qin Yuan's army undoubtedly broke the calm that the two sides had maintained for many days.
From a small-scale war of attrition to a large-scale legion combat style.
This is also one of the reasons why Qin Yuan's army was able to easily obtain and kill the enemy to a rout.
It's not just about strength.
However, Qin Yuan's army is indeed very powerful.
Wherever the cavalry went, they left no trace of armor behind.
It can be said that on the entire battlefield, the troops in the imperial camp are fleeing and retreating.
The ten lines of cavalry led by Li Cunxiao kept killing people.
Behind them is the so-called 'tourist group', also chasing after them desperately.
They were horrified to find that their running speed could not match the cavalry's attack.
"That's Julu City?"
Qin Yuan was also among the spectators, looking into the distance.
There were one million of his elite cavalry in front, killing all the enemies.
And they just need to follow behind.
Despite this, they traveled hundreds of miles from Guangzong City to the outside of Julu City.
Julu City was originally a county town.
After becoming the base camp of the imperial camp, the city was expanded and reinforced again.
The current scale is not much worse than Guangzong City.
It was the continuous strengthening and heightening of the city that formed two insurmountable castles.
There are also a large number of troops in the city, and it is even more difficult to conquer it.
With the strength of both sides, although the imperial court now has a numerical advantage, it is almost impossible to successfully attack Guangzong City.
Therefore, the reason why the imperial camp did not launch a so-called general attack was not just because they were afraid of the Zhangjiao spell.
The middle area has become the main battlefield for both sides, where various wars of attrition, tug-of-war, battles of fortification, etc. begin.
"Yes, Marshal Qin!"
Zhou Cang said.
His eyes were full of shock and awe.
Zhou Cang also had a certain understanding of Qin Yuan.
One is that he received special attention from Zhang Jiao and was accepted as his personal disciple.
Second, it is said that he has the ability to spread the beans into soldiers similar to Zhang Jiao, and has many elite combat units under his command.
Third, in the Youzhou battlefield, they won consecutive battles and achieved amazing results.
However, this was the first time that he saw the fighting style of Qin Yuan's army with his own eyes.
Although they followed behind, they did not see many scenes of fighting between the armies of both sides.
Whenever they caught up, only a messy and bloody scene was left on the battlefield.
Qin Yuan's army, on the other hand, has disappeared from everyone's sight and is heading towards the next battlefield.
Along the way, their spectator group, which did not need to fight, even lost track of them several times and was left far behind.
It wasn't until they were about to arrive at Julu City that they finally caught up.
And this was also the first time they had fought in front of Julu City since their defeat on the Jizhou battlefield.
"The Generalissimo's army is truly worthy of its reputation when I see it today!"
"This is the most ferocious army I have ever seen!"
"Everyone has the strength to fight one against ten, no, against one against a hundred!"
"With the Generalissimo here, we will definitely be able to lead us to break through Julu City, fight to the gates of Luoyang City, and overthrow the mediocre Han Dynasty!"
Commander Qu and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army couldn't help but express their appreciation.
It has to be said that they were still a little dissatisfied with Qin Yuan before.
After all, Qin Yuan is considered a 'newcomer'. As soon as he arrived in Guangzong City, he was entrusted by Zhang Jiao with the job of Generalissimo of the Army, commanding them all.
But now, when Qin Yuan showed his terrifying strength and dominance, they had to feel a sense of admiration and fear in their hearts.
Qin Yuan is indeed qualified and capable to be a military marshal.
In just half a day, relying on these millions of cavalry, they killed at least more than 10 million enemy soldiers.
With this performance, which Yellow Turban can be as handsome as him?
Even in the battles commanded by Zhang Jiao, no one killed more than ten million enemies at one time, right?
Even if the enemy troops came to the city last time, Zhang Jiao showed his prowess and used terrifying spells to kill only millions of enemies.
There is a huge difference from millions of people.
No wonder Qin Yuan felt so valued by Zhang Jiao.
Originally, his strength was really terrifying.
The one million troops led by Qin Yuan were indeed a bit small in the opinion of many Huangjin Qu commanders.
But these millions of people are worth tens of millions!
Judging from the battle just now, Qin Yuan's cavalry has the power to crush the imperial army. Moreover, even after killing tens of millions of enemy troops, it is not only very fast, but also does not suffer too many casualties.
"But what is the Generalissimo's next plan?"
"The army hasn't stopped yet. Shouldn't they be attacking Julu City?"
"I heard that the army led by General Li was able to gather the spirit of the army and break through the city defense formation. Shanggu County City was directly attacked!"
"Even so, the city defense of Julu City is much stronger than that of Shanggu City!"
"That's right, with just these one million people, it's impossible to break through Julu City!"
"What's more, there are more than 200 million imperial troops in the city!"
"I don't think we want to attack Julu City. With the wisdom of our Generalissimo, we won't do such a stupid thing!"
"This is a demonstration for the imperial army to boost the morale of our rebel army. We have been suppressed and beaten these days, which has almost broken the morale of the army. The generalissimo is here to help us rebuild our morale and confidence!"
"But, what if the imperial court sends out a large army regardless?"
"Let's take a look first and then talk!"
The Yellow Turban Canal Commanders talked a lot, but still did not stop and followed the army to the front of Julu City.
A mighty army of three million came to Julu City.
Especially the one million cavalry in front formed powerful military formations, like ten giant dragons, exuding a terrifying aura, staring at Julu City.
A solemn atmosphere!
The gunpowder smell of war is getting stronger and stronger.
On top of the city, a large number of soldiers emerged and crowded the city wall.
Drink drink drink!
Kill kill kill!
Millions of cavalry finally stopped five hundred meters away from Julu City.
If you go further, you will enter the enemy's long-range attack range.
Although they did not continue to move forward, millions of troops shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, and formed a deafening sound wave force, rushing towards Julu City.
For the imperial army, although it did not cause much actual damage, the impact of the visual and auditory effects was extremely huge.
In fact, with every loud shout, the faith of the imperial army was constantly shattered.
Especially with the large number of defeated troops fleeing back.
The cost of defeat on the battlefield cannot be concealed at all, especially when there are many players spreading the news.
Soon, the shocking news that Qin Yuan's army massacred tens of millions of imperial troops on the battlefield quickly spread throughout Julu City.
Lu Zhi, Cao Cao and others, who had just climbed to the top of the city, were also shocked when they received the news of the number of casualties.
They had just received the news that millions of troops had been defeated.
But on the back foot, tens of millions of troops were destroyed.
How did Qin Yuan's army do it?
Even if 10 million people stand there motionless, how long will it take to kill them all?
What's more, these soldiers are not just stupid people, they are also people who can resist and run away!
"Sir, based on the intelligence of the escaped army!"
"The enemy's one million cavalry vanguard are all at the lowest level of the fourth level, and there are also a large number of soldiers of the fifth, sixth and seventh levels!"
"Not only that, he is also good at cooperating with various military formations, changing formations on the spot, etc.!"
"Our army is no match for us!"
A military general came over and said to Lu Zhi and others.
"Today, we sent a total of 13 million troops, but now less than 2 million have escaped!"
"The enemy has already reached this place. Those who have not escaped are probably in danger!"
"According to preliminary statistics, our casualties have exceeded 10 million!"
After the general said that, everyone's faces showed shock, anger and fear.
In less than a day, there were more than 10 million casualties.
Moreover, the opponent came across hundreds of miles of battlefield.
I'm afraid the marching time is about the same time, right?
It's equivalent to the opponent breaking through defense lines and strategic locations while on the road, and killing more than 10 million of them by the way!
"Now that it has happened, there is no point in thinking about it anymore!"
"Now, how should we deal with this enemy army!"
Lu Zhi said with a solemn expression.
Standing on the 100-meter-high wall, looking down at the enemy troops in the distance.
Even though they were extremely far apart, he could still see the powerful aura of a famous cavalryman.
The strength of each one is indeed as reported by the general, possessing fourth-level strength and equipped with the most sophisticated equipment.
And even where they stood, they formed different battle formations.
They have already used the army's formations with great proficiency, and their cooperation is very tacit.
It is said that these armies can also release military souls!
Strength, equipment, army coordination,
This is something that the previous Yellow Turban Army did not have.
Moreover, these are all advantages of the imperial army.
But now, it was directly crushed by Qin Yuan's army.
What's more, they are all cavalry.
There are also fierce tigers and giant wolves among the mounts!
Even the most elite five schools of the Northern Army in the imperial court and the Yulin Army guarding the imperial city probably don't have this strength!
"The enemy army is only a few million!"
"How dare you attack Julu City? You really think we don't dare to send troops to them!"
Yuan Shao shouted, "No matter how powerful this army is, is it possible that it can defeat an army of 50 million, or an army of 100 million?"
"That's wrong!"
"The size of the enemy army has reached one million, and a million-level battlefield is already very huge!"
"When the number of people exceeds one million, you can't win simply by relying on sheer numbers!"
Cao Cao said. "The opponent is not only powerful, but also good at changing military formations. Even if we surround the opponent, the enemy can use the military formation to form a copper and iron wall like a city wall. We will continue to attack, but there is no space for attack.
It is limited. Once it cannot be broken directly, the soldiers we send out will only become cannon fodder and be ruthlessly killed by the opponent!"
"Brother Cao is right!"
"With the strength shown by the opponent, even if we send 10 million troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat the opponent, and we will only die!"
"You know, on the battlefield, the opponent can move and retreat at any time, leave the battlefield, and not entangle with us!"
"Moreover, the opponents are all cavalry and have high mobility. When retreating, you can rely on military formations for defense, and when advancing, you can use their strong strength and mobility to divide the battlefield!"
"No matter how many troops we send, it won't help!"
Liu Bei said.
When facing some powerful elite troops, you can generally take advantage of the numerical advantage to continuously consume the opponent and eventually defeat it.
But the problem is that both sides have a huge numerical advantage.
After all, the number of elites is generally relatively small.
For example, ten thousand or one hundred thousand.
By using terrain advantages or tactics to surround them, you can slowly wear them to death.
But now, the other party has a scale of millions, and they do not have the advantage of the right time, place and people.
It is simply impossible to lure the opponent into a trap.
As for the strategy, if the opponent has an excellent commander, there is a high probability that he will not fall into the trap.
"Then it doesn't matter if you fight, or if you don't fight?"
Yuan Shao said angrily.
"Don't be anxious, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move!"
"The enemy's morale is now at its peak, and it is really not appropriate for us to fight at this time!"
"Let's see what the other party wants to do first!"
"Do you think they can attack Julu City with just a few million people?"
Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shao lightly and said.
"Cao Cao is right!"
"To deal with this kind of elite, only the elite can deal with it!"
"If conventional troops are sent out, no matter how large the number is, they will not be able to defeat the opponent!"
"Now count your elite soldiers, how many are third-level and above, and report to me truthfully!"
Lu Zhi stood up, looked around at everyone and said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.
Although Lu Zhi did not agree with Yuan Shao's opinion, he still wanted to go head-to-head with Qin Yuan's elite.
Of course, this is the only way at the moment.
It's just different from Yuan Shao's proposal. Yuan Shao plans to send tens of millions of troops into the battlefield. Although there are many people, they may not be his own troops.
Even if it is their own army, they will at most send some ordinary troops.
As for the elites of each family, they spent a lot of resources to cultivate them!
They are not as heroic as Qin Yuan, who casually brings out one million level 4 elites.
Even the third-level troops are already their most elite direct line troops.
It's not that elites must be hidden and won't take action, otherwise what's the point of training them?
However, if we go to war with Qin Yuan's army, the result can be imagined. There is a high probability of losing more than winning.
Even if you win in the end, you will definitely suffer heavy losses!
