Lu Yu also had a way to deal with it.
They sent out twice as many sentries as Zhang Jiao and killed all of Zhang Jiao's sentries, taking their warhorses away.
Zhang Jiao didn't have many warhorses. After losing hundreds of warhorses, he didn't dare to send any more scouts.
They could only slow down their speed, compress the length of the troops, and move forward carefully.
But the effect was limited.
Without the interference of the sentry cavalry, Lu Yu could still use the terrain and the mobility of the troops to harass the Yellow Turban Army again and again.
Even the Yellow-scarved Strongmen were like paper when facing the Lu Family Army that had been refined hundreds of times. They could not stop their killing.
When their army surrounded them, Lu Yu made use of the mobility of the cavalry to retreat.
Next, Lu Yu almost copied Dian Wei's strategy against the Yellow Dragon Army.
However, the Yellow Turban Army had to walk for more than a day because of him.
Halfway through, Lu Yu even divided the troops into three groups, taking turns to rest and harass.
Zhang Jiao had no other way to deal with it.
He could only push forward forcefully.
After that, Lu Yu's army suddenly retreated. Zhang Jiao let out a sigh of relief.
However, he did not let down his guard.
He was worried that this was Lu Yu's scheme.
At this moment, Lu Yu had already led over 6,000 cavalrymen to meet up with Cao Cao's army.
After Cao Cao learned about Lu Yu's achievements in the past few days, he was also amazed,""I didn't expect that such a simple strategy would consume tens of thousands of Zhang Jiao's troops!”
"If they come a few more times, wouldn't they be able to wipe out Zhang Jiao's 300,000 strong army?”
From Lu Yu's strategy, Cao Cao had also realized the importance of the combination of troops.
Zhang Jiao had suffered because he lacked cavalry and archers!
Everyone knew the quality of the Yellow Turban Army. There were no qualified archers at all.
Not to mention the archers.
Most of them were ordinary people with hoes, carrying poles, and extremely simple equipment.
They were either forced or formed into the Yellow Turban Army for other reasons.
Their combat strength was low.
"Haha! How can it be so easy!"
Lu Yu smiled and shook his head." The thousands of cavalrymen on my side have been through more than a day of torment. They are already exhausted. Next, it will be up to Brother Meng De to play the leading role!"”
Although they had some rest along the way, they had rushed back and forth dozens of times in a day!
Both the men and the warhorses had almost reached their limits and needed to be properly repaired.
"No problem! Leave it to me!"
Cao Cao patted his chest and promised," You've already done a good job. Moreover, you've tortured the enemy until they're exhausted. If I can't even do this well, then I won't be able to face you!"”
The following battle was just as Cao Cao had said, going smoothly.
Cao Cao had fully learned Lu Yu's tactics and displayed his talents. He relied on harassment, traps, and trenches to further delay, tire, and kill the Yellow Turban Army.
It was a blow to their morale.
This made the Yellow Turban Army's already low morale even lower.
Although the troops under his command were basically infantry, the Yellow Turban Army was already exhausted, and their combat strength and morale had dropped drastically.
Cao Cao's army still had the absolute advantage.
During this period, Zhang Jiao had tried to launch an elite assault, but he didn't have an advantage against the government troops who were also elite but had been prepared for battle.
Instead, they lost nearly ten thousand Yellow Scarf Warriors.
By the time they advanced another 30 kilometers and passed through Cao Cao's ambush line, Zhang Jiao's army had already lost more than 70,000 soldiers.
Their morale was on the verge of collapse.
Even if Zhang Jiao used his faith to encourage them, it wouldn't have any obvious effect.
Halfway through the battle, Zhang Jiao had also attempted to use the strategy of resting on the spot to restore the soldiers 'stamina and morale.
But how could Lu Yu and Cao Cao allow it?
That night, they launched no less than six night raids.
It wasn't to kill, but to disgust Zhang Jiao and make them unable to rest.
As for the government troops, because they were divided into batches, they had a good rest.
"Haha!"
On the way back to Yuan Shao's ambush, Cao Cao could not help but raise his head and laugh at Lu Yu,""I never thought that a war could be fought like this! With just tens of thousands of soldiers, Zhang Jiao's army, which was ten times larger than mine, was thrown into chaos. Their morale was close to collapsing!”
This result was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life!
At the same time, he was even more impressed and curious about Lu Yu, who invented this tactic.
"Brother Ziyi! How did you come up with this tactic?”
Cao Cao asked curiously.
"I was forced!"
Lu Yu shrugged helplessly." If possible, I want to fight Zhang Jiao head-on!" However, isn't it because our strength doesn't allow it? Then I can only think of such a despicable move!"
"Moreover, this tactic seems to have a miraculous effect, but the right time, place, and people are indispensable. Otherwise, not only will it not be effective, but it might even kill you.”
If the Yellow Turban Army was stronger;
If the Yellow Turban Army also had cavalry and well-trained archers;
If only Zhang Jiao hadn't rushed forward so urgently.
If the terrain here wasn't so suitable.
This tactic was not effective at all.
Of course, Zhang Jiao couldn't be blamed for advancing rashly. His nest was destroyed, and he didn't have enough food!
I had to do it.
"That's true!"
Cao Cao nodded.
He was not blinded by his previous victory.
"Next, it's up to Benchu! As long as he tortured Zhang Jiao a few more times, the Yellow Turban Army would basically collapse! At that time, we can easily defeat them!”
Lu Yu chuckled.
"That's true! Let's hurry to Ben Chu's place! Next, it's his turn to sing the lead role!"
"Giddyup!"
