With the sound of beating drums, the Lu Su Supervisory Formation and the troops of the main camp of generals Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, plus half of the field soldiers. [Source of this book www.
Teams came out of the camp, slowly gathered on the northern plains, and formed a formation.
In the front of the formation are the two general flags of "Gan" and "Zhao", and the two generals Gan Ning and Zhao Yun are in the front. At the rear is the commander's flag of "Lu", with Lu Su in the middle and at the rear.
The three people formed an inverted triangle shape.[
Surrounding them were archers, swordsmen, and soldiers who were responsible for carrying the siege ladder. They competed with each other and formed a complex formation.
Among them were the elite soldiers from the main camp of Lu Su, Zhao Yun, Ganning and Ning, as well as ordinary soldiers from the garrison.
Although they were unevenly distributed, there were about 40,000 people in total. When they spread out their formation, there was also a strong murderous aura rising into the sky.
"Change the drum and attack the city."
When the formation came to a complete standstill, Lu Su shouted loudly under the banner of the commander with the character "Lu" in the rear.
"promise."
A messenger answered the promise, rode his horse, and headed back to the camp.
"Dong dong dong."
Soon after, the drum sound in the air suddenly changed, becoming more and more fierce, and filled with an aggressive momentum.
"kill."
Almost at the same time, Gan Ning and Zhao Yun pointed their spears forward and shouted.
"kill."
A total of 40,000 soldiers roared in unison. In this fierce murderous intent, whether it was the field soldiers, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, or Lu Su's elite soldiers, they all began to move forward slowly.
They lined up neatly and walked forward together.
Suddenly, a mountain of pressure like a sea rushed towards Xu Du.
On the city, Cao Jun was not idle either. Although there were constant rumors in the army, the elite of Cao Jun were still elite after all, and they were preparing various preparations in an orderly manner.
There were soldiers walking around everywhere, constantly carrying huge rocks, logs, and burning boiling oil.
Under the banner of "Cao" Commander, Xiahou Dun and Man Chong stood side by side, both looking at the formation ahead with solemn expressions.
"According to reports from spies, most of Lu Su's Northern Expedition army are second-rate field soldiers. Are these considered field soldiers?" [
Feeling the orderliness of Lu Su's army and the overwhelming murderous aura, Xiahou Dun said with great solemnity.
Xiahou Dun was a little surprised. You must know that they did not have soldiers to farm, but they were all refugees, or in the process of conquering the world, they selected the old and the weak among the prisoners to farm.
They are generally farmers and have little training.
However, judging from the momentum of the field soldiers in front of us, their combat effectiveness should be between the elites of Cao's army and the field soldiers, and can be compared with the elites of ordinary princes such as Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, etc.
Is this still considered a field soldier?
"According to rumors, the composition of Lu Su's field soldiers is very complex, but most of them are strong and strong, and none of them are old or weak. They are occasionally trained a little, so it is not uncommon to have some combat effectiveness."
Man Chong smiled bitterly when he heard this and said.
Lu Su's power can be considered strange. The old and the weak are eliminated, and the strong and strong can only serve as field soldiers, engage in farming, build cities, etc.
Only the strongest among the strongest can become an elite soldier.
This caused Lu Su's troops to be sparse, but his combat effectiveness was also the best among the princes.
"This war is bound to be more intense than I thought." Xiahou Dun's heart sank when he heard this, and he said silently.
