The sky gradually brightened, and the fire in Yuan's camp had been extinguished, but the charred charcoal and the ashes fluttering in the wind revealed the cruelty of the fire last night.

Inside the camp, Chen Gong commanded the soldiers of the state to remove the charred corpses to avoid the plague caused by the accumulation for a long time.

Last night's battle was an extremely brilliant record for the Bingzhou army, and until this time, the generals of the Bingzhou felt that they were born in a dream.

A general looked at Chen Gong, who was facing the rising sun with a calm face, and he had all kinds of words but didn't know how to say them.

Not only him, but even the rest of the generals had too many doubts in their hearts.

The red morning glow appeared in the air, in stark contrast to the black-brown earth, and a gust of wind blew, and Chen Gong smelled the stench of burnt corpses, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Looking around, seeing that all the generals were looking at themselves, but they didn't dare to ask, Chen Gong couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Whatever you want, just ask."

Hearing Chen Gong's gentle voice, one of the generals of the state summoned up the courage to ask, "Didn't the envoy say that he would give the Yuan army three days to think about it, and if they were unwilling to surrender, they would launch an attack?" ”

"Why did the envoy let the soldiers attack Yuan's army camp on the night of the third day before they refused to surrender?"

Hearing such a naïve question, Chen Gong couldn't help but laugh twice, and said: "If you are prepared for Zhou, you will be lazy, and if you are common, you will not doubt it, Yuan Jun saw that I made a three-day appointment, and he was cautious at first. ”

"However, the three **** in succession ordered the soldiers to hold the camp tightly and not to clash with the Yuan army, and the Yuan general must have thought that I would keep my promise and launch an attack after the fourth **** refused to surrender."

"However, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and I launched a surprise attack on the night of the third day, so that I could catch Yuan's army by surprise."

Although Chen Gong's behavior like this is not above board, it is also in line with the art of war, not to mention that the generals of the Yuan army did not think of surrendering at the beginning.

When the general who opened his mouth to ask heard this, he suddenly realized.

However, before he could open his mouth and continue to ask the next question, another person asked: "According to my opinion, the commander of the Yuan army is not a mediocre talent, and these Yuan troops are not a rabble, why did our army attack the Yuan army camp go so smoothly?" ”

When the generals heard this, they all set their eyes on Chen Gong, wanting to know the details.

Until now, they also felt that the victory had come too suddenly, and they felt a little confused.

Chen Gong patiently explained: "Although this victory seems to be easy to come by, in fact, I have already done a lot of planning before this. ”

"The three-day covenant is not just to paralyze Yuan Jun, but also to create trebuchets."

"Attacking such an impregnable camp would have been extremely difficult without the help of trebuchets."

"And the three-day appointment was also made in order to allow Yuan Jun to defend the generals and make more defensive equipment. These weapons are made of wood, and the more defensive equipment there is in the camp, the more powerful the fire attack will be. ”

Hearing this, the generals suddenly realized that they remembered the trebuchet that had been so powerful last night.

The reason why yesterday was able to make the fire in the Yuan army camp was indispensable.

It was precisely because the trebuchet had the ability to throw from a distance that many cans filled with fire oil and tinder would be thrown into the Yuan army camp.

It was under the pressure of Chen Gong that the generals of the Yuan army ordered the manufacture of a lot of defensive equipment in these three days.

Don't talk about anything else, just the rejection of horses and antlers at the door can be said to be all over the land. Although these things are a sharp weapon against the state army, they are also the best fuel for the fire.

Of course, generally speaking, if Chen Gong did not have a long-range attack weapon such as a trebuchet, it would be impossible to get close to Yuan's army camp and use fire attack under the defense of the dense arrow tower.

It is precisely because of the appearance of trebuchets that it is possible to ignore the distance and ignore the Yuan army's arrow tower and carry out fire attacks.

It can be said that if Chen Gong hadn't attacked Yuan Jun with fire first, it would have been difficult to conquer this sturdy and abnormal camp with 10,000 Bingzhou troops.

Seeing the sudden look on everyone's faces, Chen Gong said again: "Actually, if General Yuan can maintain his composure, Yuan's army has strong combat effectiveness, and a fire attack can't defeat Yuan's army at all. ”

Chen Gong's words are not unfounded, if every camp can be attacked with trebuchets, wouldn't the state army be invincible in the world?

In fact, it's completely impossible.

First of all, the trebuchet was extremely difficult to manufacture, and in three days, Chen Gong only drove out five of them, and only with these five trebuchets throwing oil and fire, the lethality was very limited.

If General Yuan commanded calmly, the soldiers would not be alarmed, and it would be very easy to extinguish the fire thrown by the trebuchet.

Secondly, the trebuchet was extremely poor, and there was a lot of oil and fire last night, but they were not put into the Yuan army camp.

To sum up, it is very rare to simply want to use trebuchets to carry out fire attacks.

Chen Gong looked around and saw that the generals were listening carefully, so he continued: "Do you know why some kindling is thrown into the Yuan army's camp, and the Yuan soldiers will panic and flee in all directions? ”

The generals looked puzzled, and then one of them said respectfully: "I want to hear it!" ”

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said, "The reason why Yuan Jun is like a frightened bird, and they are chaotic when they see the camp on fire, is because they have long lost their fighting spirit. ”

"Not only them, but the commander of the Yuan army did not calmly command the soldiers to extinguish the fire, also because his heart was already in turmoil."

Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused and began to talk about his strategy for attacking the heart.

When Chen Gong heard that Xu Xian had seriously injured Gao Ran in two moves, he was ready to use this to break through the defense line in Yuan Jun's heart, and then easily defeat them.

Chen Gong deliberately led the Bingzhou army to block their way forward after the Yuan army guarded the generals and got the news of Gao Lan's defeat, and then set up camp.

Although Chen Gong only had 10,000 soldiers under his command, he bluffed and waved the banner of 30,000 people. From that time on, it gave Yuan Jun a very strong sense of oppression.

After all, the reputation of the Bingzhou army for being brave and good at fighting is well known to the world, and now that the strength of the army is six times that of the Yuan army, it is impossible for them not to panic.

However, due to the existence of the camp, even if Yuan Jun felt depressed in his heart, he could still support it.

Causing psychological pressure on Yuan Jun is only the first step of Chen Gong; The three-day appointment is only the second step, and the effect has already been discussed.

The third step is an extremely important part, that is, let people pretend to be Zhao Yun and spread the false news that Gao Ran was killed.

Due to the fact that the Yuan army was cut off from the road ahead and completely lost contact with Gao Lan's army, the generals of the Yuan army only knew that Gao Lan was seriously injured by Zhao Yun twice, and knew nothing about other news.

When Zhao Yun led his troops to join Chen Gong, and the news of Gao Ran's killing reached Yuan's camp, Yuan's army could easily fall into panic.

There are three reasons for their panic.

First, the Bingzhou army had another 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Jun felt even more pressure.

Second, Zhao Yun, who is powerful in the world, is here, and this kind of oppression is like a giant mountain and a mountain, which makes people breathless.

Third, the death of Gao Lan, the real coach of the Yuan army, was like a thunderbolt from the blue for them, which made Yuan Jun's heart lost.

These three reasons also made the Yuan army no longer have the will to fight, and many people wanted to escape, and even hoped that the generals of the Yuan army would surrender tomorrow.

At this time, the seeds of defeat had been planted in Yuan Jun's heart, and Chen Gong had already made Yuan Jun's morale collapse and no fighting spirit in a silent manner.

Not only the soldiers of the Yuan army, but also the generals of the Yuan army.

Therefore, when the oil and fire thrown by the trebuchet bloomed one after another in the Yuan army camp, their first thought was not to fight the fire, nor to organize troops to resist the enemy, but to escape.

How could such an army have the luxury of expecting them to withstand the surprise attack of the state army?

Rao is like this, in order to reduce the casualties of the Bingzhou army, Chen Gong still used the last strategy to attack the heart, that is, to let a soldier pretend to be Zhao Yun and appear at the front of the Bingzhou army.

When the figure of this white horse and silver spear descended on the battlefield, and when this legendary figure who seriously injured the famous Hebei general Gao Ran in two moves appeared, the Yuan army, who had a little intention to resist, finally collapsed completely.

They didn't know that the figure of the white horse and silver spear in the firelight was just a silver wax spear head, and it was not vulnerable to attack at all.

However, things have come to this point, who will doubt the authenticity of this Zhao Yun?

I'm afraid that even Zhao Yun, who is far away in Yizhou, doesn't know, first Xu Xian pretended to be him to lead Gao Lan, and then Chen Gong asked people to pretend to be him to break Yuan Jun.

When Chen Gong finished telling the ins and outs of the matter, all the generals of the state were dumbfounded. The eyes they looked at Chen Gong at this time were not admiration, but mixed with a faint fear.

After all, it's not a very pleasant thing to serve under someone who can see through people's hearts.

Feeling the strange eyes of everyone, Chen Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

The Chen Palace in this time and space has long been very different from the Chen Palace in history.

Although the Chen Gong in history was resourceful, he was a little late, and his ability to change in battle was not strong.

However, the Chen Palace in this time and space is in the same hall as Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, Jia Xu, and Li Ru, and they are all resourceful.

In the process of communicating with these top strategists, Chen Gong was naturally slowly changing himself.

In particular, Jia Xu's extraordinary grasp of people's hearts has benefited Chen Gong a lot.

More importantly, Chen Gong has been a pastor of Bingzhou for many years and has been in a high position for a long time, so he has to deal with various aspects of the problem.

Although Chen Gong did not have the opportunity to display his talents in other battlefields during the process of being the pastor of the state, this experience was of great benefit to Chen Gong's overall training.

The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.

While Chen Gong was dealing with his subordinates and various forces in the state, it was actually a process of increasing knowledge.

It is in this special environment that this different Chen Palace has been cultivated.
