The Qin cavalry unit, which had just completed a successful raid on the Yanling Chu army, was resting by a small river at this time. Some Qin soldiers began to set up bronze utensils on fire racks to boil river water, and ate the dry food they carried with hot water.

Lu Bu led the chase wind to a lush grass for him to eat, and took big steps towards the central army to prepare to start the next plan with the generals of the army.

"Brother is here."

"I've seen the general."

Lu Bu waved his hand and told everyone not to be too polite. After taking a small stool handed over by Lu Ze that was connected with ropes, he lifted up the skirt armor hanging under the battle armor and sat on the empty upper position.

After Lu Bu was seated, he did not speak immediately, but looked around his face and found that except for a few generals who also had a little gloomy face, most generals, including Nangong Yan, showed expressions of joy and respect on their faces.

Lu Bu just smiled softly at this. In the final analysis, the army still depends on whether you have the ability to lead the soldiers to victory. As long as you can lead them to victory, it will be much easier to capture them. Although you have not yet been able to impress all of these people, this has already had a good start, right?

"Well! Everyone, we have just completed the first battle after entering the Chu realm. It is precisely because of the efforts of you and the soldiers below that we have achieved our first victory so easily. Let's see how many casualties our soldiers in this battle have occurred, and then discuss the next plan." Lu Bu coughed lightly and started the topic of this military discussion.

"General Lu, this time, our army was attacking while the Chu army set up camp, only more than 3,000 people were killed. In addition, more than 8,000 soldiers were more or less injured, but there was basically nothing serious, so the combat power that was actually damaged was only more than 3,000 people." Zhang Han had already counted the casualties when the entire team stopped and rested, so when Lu Bu asked about the casualties of the team, he stood up and replied.

Lu Bu frowned: "Are there still more than 10,000 casualties?"

"General, although we suffered more than 10,000 casualties, our rush just now also caused at least tens of thousands of people to lose to the Chu army? With our tens of thousands of troops, we could finally make such a big victory in the battle. No matter what, it should be a happy thing." Nangong Yan hurriedly comforted Lu Bu when he saw that his face was frowning.

"Although we just killed a lot of Chu soldiers, we did not seriously damage those Chu soldiers. General Li Xin assigned us the task to severely damage the Chu army in Yanling, so that these Yanling Chu troops could not participate in the decisive battle between Pingyu and the main force of the Chu army led by Xiang Yan, so we must at least fight with the Chu army in Yanling at this time.

Our military strength is only tens of thousands of people. After severely damaging these Yanling Chu troops, we have to go to Pingyu to participate in the decisive battle between General Li Xin and Xiang Yan, Chu. Think about it, just by drilling through these Chu troops, more than 10,000 people were killed or killed. If we want to complete the task assigned to us by General Li Xin to severely damage them, how many people will we lose? How many people can we bring to Pingyu to support General Li Xin's decisive battle against the main force of the Chu army under Xiang Yan? So, even if there are only more than 10,000 casualties now, it has already caused us to get hurt." Lu Bu explained softly to Nangong Yan and others in a little depressed manner.

..................................................................................... Dividing line..................

In fact, the reason why Lu Bu was surprised by the casualties was that Lu Bu was a little overestimated the black-armored iron cavalry that had just been equipped with stirrups and horseshoes.

If you think about it carefully, although the Qin cavalry at this time strengthened the balance on the horse's back, they did not have the mass-produced crossbows from the Han and Tang dynasties (the crossbows of the Han and Tang dynasties were still extremely powerful.) and because the entire Qin State did not pay attention to the role of cavalry before, even the cavalry of the Qin ancestors (the Qin tribe was originally a nomadic tribe that raised horses for the Zhou emperor) lost almost the same skills. Therefore, the attack methods of the Qin Iron Cavalry now basically only rely on the collision of war horses and the assassination of weapons in their hands, and these two must be used in close combat. Therefore, although they were equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, there were still more than 10,000 casualties in the battle that occupied various favorable factors in the flat slope. This is not surprising.

"General, what should we do next?" Nangong Yan asked nervously.

"Shaorong, what are your thoughts? Tell me." Lu Bu did not rush to answer Nangong Yan, but turned to look at Zhang Han beside him. He wanted to hear what Zhang Han would have before making a decision.

Zhang Han obviously did not expect Lu Bu to ask for his opinion. Although he could be considered a position as a deputy general on the sideline, the problem was that his position was completely what Lu Bu asked Li Xin for, and Zhang Han could only feel grateful to Lu Bu.

Zhang Han is very familiar with the embarrassing situation in the army caused by Lu Bu being appointed as the chief general because he was too young. Therefore, in order to accumulate prestige for Lu Bu, Zhang Han has been trying hard to play the role of following Lu Bu's leader in front of the generals. So since Zhang Han set out to now, he has basically not displayed his talents very much. Instead, he wholeheartedly helped Lu Bu handle some miscellaneous matters and silently assisted Lu Bu.

Lu Bu did not realize all this Zhang Han did. However, after entering the Chu realm, Lu Bu, who thought that Zhang Han, a famous general who left his name in history, should have given some advice for him, realized that Zhang Han had been doing those seemingly insignificant but very tedious tasks, and he kept silent in the major matters of marching and formation, in order to accumulate prestige in front of the generals.

Lu Bu saw all this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, so he began to officially use Zhang Han, a "historical general" after he almost perfectly completed the first formation of the Chu army. Because Lu Bu knew that although he inherited all the memories of Wen Hou of the Three Kingdoms' unparalleled martial arts and cavalry battles, he is now better at charging and on-site command in the battlefield in the war. He still has many shortcomings in the deployment of troops and planning thousands of miles away. Since there is no top strategist like Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to assist him, it is not wrong to listen to Zhang Han's opinions more.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Han probably realized that Lu Bu had accumulated enough prestige in this battle and could already express some opinions with a choice. So Zhang Han smiled with relief and turned his attention to the leather map placed in the center of the venue. This map is the rough map of mountains and rivers in the Chu State. If you want to complete the correct arrangement of troops, you must carefully study this map of mountains and rivers in the Chu State.

Looking at Zhang Han who was studying the map carefully, Lu Bu finally showed a proud smile on his face: "My greatest advantage is not the precious memories inherited from Wen Hou of the Three Kingdoms, but his understanding of the historical trends and famous figures! Because only by understanding these things can you be sure to gallop in this strange and dangerous world. Otherwise, even if you have peerless martial arts and extraordinary combat talent, you will not know the loyalty and treason of the people around you in the world. The final outcome of Xiang Yu and Wen Hou of the Three Kingdoms is a lesson for the past!!"

ps: Today I and my colleagues had a friendly basketball game. After graduating from school and entering society, this should be the happiest time. I won thirteen goals in the game and had three blocks to the account. It was so cool!! (*^__^*)
