Chapter 503: A Lose-Lose Strategy
The wall of fire that rose under the tortoise wall, the old Liu Beijun Ding Kepi couldn't stop screaming and screaming under the sea of fire, and Sergeant Liu Bei, who had escaped a catastrophe, looked at this huge wall of fire and didn't dare to rush over. Seeing this, Zhang Xiujun in the city secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in this case, only by relying on the power of nature can the red-eyed enemy army be forced back.
"Woohoo,"
The ten wells were still moving and shooting sharp arrows at the city, but Zhang Xiu smiled coldly when he saw it, and commanded the sword and shield hands to stand in front to block the attack of the wells, and at the same time let the crossbowmen use crossbow arrows.
"Ignition! Put! ”
"Whoosh"
Zhang Xiu gave an order, and dozens of rhubarb crossbows in the city immediately returned fire on the ten wells, and the precise strikes of the crossbow arrows ignited many places in the ten wells, forcing Liu Bei's soldiers up and down the wells to stop again and hurriedly extinguish the flames. Since the shafts were made of wood, the flames ignited by these nets had to be extinguished, otherwise the entire shaft would be destroyed when the fire burned. However, two times in a row, different parts of the well were set on fire. Although the flames were extinguished, the well was a little dangerous, and Liu Bei's soldiers on the well felt that the well was shaking.
In the rear formation, Zhuge Liang saw the situation of the front army, and hurriedly said to Liu Bei: "Lord, the enemy has already prepared, and retreat first." ”
Liu Bei also knew the current situation, nodded his head, and shouted: "Mingjin!" Collect the troops! ”
"When the shrug,"
The sound of gold was loud, and Liu Beijun receded like a tide. After Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning in the city saw that Liu Beijun had completely retreated, they breathed a sigh of relief, and after replacing Wang Shuang and Guan Hai with guarding the city, they immediately went down to the city and returned to the Taishou Mansion to discuss important matters.
In the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Xiu gave a general explanation of the situation above the city, and everyone was happy that they could repel the enemy army with such a small loss. However, everyone knows that this time to be able to block Liu Beijun's attack, the most important thing is to rely on the fire oil, but there is not much fire oil on Jiangzhou City, and it can be used on such a large scale twice at most, once the fire oil is exhausted, it will become extremely difficult to defend the city. And today's main thing is to restrain Liu Beijun's well with fire crossbow arrows, but this situation can no longer be repeated, with Zhuge Liang's intelligence, tomorrow's attack of the well will definitely do fire treatment, and then the well will be able to wreak havoc, and the defense will become more difficult.
Everyone knew this question, and Zhang Xiu asked Pang Tongdao: "Filial piety." Shi Yuan, when do you think Liu Bei will move the camp back to Jiangzhou City? ”
Fa Zheng and Pang Tong glanced at each other. At the same time, he smiled and said, "Tonight! ”
Tai Shi Ci listened. Puzzled, he asked, "Why are the two military advisors so determined?" ”
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "The enemy army has to pull the well and the rushing car to the city of Jiangzhou from twenty miles away, and then attack, and the physical exhaustion is serious. Liu Bei didn't even send out a general this morning, obviously it was just a tentative attack, so Liu Bei would do this, but in a real big battle, if the soldiers had to walk back and forth for twenty miles every day, then no matter how powerful Liu Bei's siege equipment was, his soldiers would not be the opponent of our army, so Liu Bei would definitely move the camp tonight
Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I will order someone to withdraw the sand and stones, so that the city will open early tomorrow morning to engage the enemy army." ”
Fa Zheng and Pang Tong heard it, and at the same time responded: "The lord is wise." ”
At this time, Gan Ning asked: "Lord, since I know that Liu Bei is going to move the camp tonight, I can't wait to go to the night attack!" ”
"No!" After Gan Ningwang finished speaking, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong over there stopped it in unison. Fa Zheng swept Pang Tong's eyes and motioned for Pang Tong to explain, Pang Tong nodded and said: "Zhuge Liang is cautious, the relocation of the camp is very important, naturally he has already prepared, if he goes to the night attack, I am afraid that it will be calculated by Liu Bei." Moreover, this plan is dangerous, so compared with Liu Beijun, our army is actually in an advantageous position. As long as it remains undefeated, it is already a victory for our army, and since this is the case, there is no need to risk it at all. It is right to use dignified soldiers to suppress Liu Bei. ”
Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said: "In this way, we will do what Xiaozhi and Shiyuan said, and remove the sand and gravel behind the city gate tonight and strengthen the defense." Let the rest of the soldiers who don't have to defend the city take a break and prepare for a big battle with Liu Bei early tomorrow morning. The crowd heard and agreed in unison.
"Knock Knock and Woo Woo"
"Knock Knock and Woo Woo"
At this time, it was about five watches, and the sky was not yet bright, but the sound of war drums and horns outside Jiangzhou City was already resounding all over the world. Breathing in the clear and cold air, Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Beijun, who had already lined up on the opposite side, and a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
In order to seize the opportunity, Zhang Xiu asked the army in the city to make a fire to cook at the fourth watch this morning. After that, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici and Wang Shuang immediately commanded the army out of the city.
How do you know that when the net went out of the city, Liu Beijun, who had set up a big village overnight on the opposite side, also went out of the camp at almost the same time.
Zhang Xiu held the tiger-headed golden gun and pointed at Liu Beijun on the opposite side, and shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, and you will be killed!" small
Zhang Xiu gave an order, Tai Shici and Wang Shuang rode out first, and the army followed closely behind, and Zhang Xiu himself began to charge Liu Beijun with the Chinese army.
This time, Zhang Xiu led out only 20,000 troops, and these 20,000 troops were the troops led by Pang Tong from Zhanghuang. This can also allow ordinary soldiers to experience the tempering of the war, and after the combat power is enhanced, they can be replenished into the elite corps, although such elimination is cruel, but the life of people in troubled times is like mustard, this is the law of troubled times.
"Kill Roar".
In the face of the charge of Zhang Xiu's army, Liu Bei's army was originally surprised by Zhang Xiu's army's sudden attack has calmed down, Jing Lang and the newly built rush car were pushed back to the camp, and the rest of the soldiers fought with Zhang Xiu's army under the leadership of Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi, Wei Yan, Yan Yan, Liu Feng, and Liu Pan.
Although there are many generals under Liu Bei, everyone under Zhang Xiu is a fierce general, here Tai Shici joined forces with Chen Zhi and Yan Yan, Wang Shuang faced Liu Feng and Liu Pan again, and Zhang Xiu fought Zhang Fei and Wei Yan alone. Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici, and Wang Shuang are each one against two, but they are not left behind. even pressed the other party to attack.
The generals have already handed over their hands, and the battle between the soldiers and soldiers has become even more enthusiastic. In the camp, Liu Bei couldn't help frowning when he saw a scuffle under Jiangzhou City, which was not the same thing as he thought before. Soon, a small school reported to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang." The enemy's naval army was dispatched, and General Wen asked for battle".
Liu Beiwei
When I looked at the field again, the sky was already bright, but I saw that Duoxiu had gotten rid of Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, and led an army to rush left and right in Liu Bei's army, only to see the tiger head golden gun in Zhang Xiu's hand dancing rapidly, and the huge golden phoenix appeared in the sky, and no one under Liu Bei's military vehicle was Zhang Xiu's enemy at all, and only Zhang Xiu collided in Liu Bei's army's formation, and Liu Beijun's formation was in chaos.
Zhang Fei and Wei Yan also wanted to learn from Zhang Xiu's hand, but the two couldn't gather the troops at all, and when they just gathered the troop vehicles, Zhang Xiu led the army to rush over. Zhang Xiu did not entangle with Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, but only killed them in the military vehicle, and the two of them were entangled with Zhang Xiu's martial arts, and it took a little effort to get rid of the two.
On the other side, Tai Shici and Wang Shuang also did the same. This style of play is like a pack of wolves on the prairie against a flock of sheep, and when the flock is ready to gather, the wolf pounces on the largest flock to disperse the largest flock, and then rushes into the flock to feed. On the other side, a large flock of sheep was formed. Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici, and Wang Shuang, the three wolves, led their soldiers to rush over. Liu Bei had no generals on his side who could stop them.
Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and Chen Zhi, the three most skilled martial artists, also tried to find Wang Shuang, but Wang Shuang was also clever, and when he saw the three of them killing, he immediately led the army to move closer to Zhang Xiu or Tai Shici, and waited for the two to deal with them. And when the three of them wanted to work together to take Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Xiu fought them alone, and the vacated Tai Shi Ci and Wang Shuang became even more unscrupulous, forcing Zhang Fei and others to abandon Zhang Xiu's surroundings to save Ying.
The entire battlefield is Zhang Xiu's army pressing Liu Bei's army to fight, this kind of wolf tactics in the infantry has not been used to the extreme, if it is used by cavalry, it is called really powerful. However, the most important thing in this tactic is to have a powerful general to lead, that is to say, to have a powerful head wolf. And the most important thing for Zhang Xiu's subordinates is the first-class general, which naturally killed Liu Beijun crying for his father and mother.
In the camp, Liu Bei saw that his army was losing and retreating, Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, and said to Fu Shige next to him: "You will lead 10,000 troops out of the camp to help fight."
Fu Shiren was about to go after receiving the order, but Zhuge Liang next to him hurriedly stopped: "Lord, stay!" If the lord sends troops to join the war again, it will be a plan for Zhang Xiu."
When Liu Bei heard this, he asked puzzledly: "What does the military advisor mean by this?" ”
Zhuge Liang heard it and said: "Don't ask, my lord, now let Yide and them collect their troops and come back, and guard according to the camp, and then Rong Liang will explain." ”
Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang's rare solemn expression, so he nodded and said to Fu Shiren: "You and lead the troops to meet the army at the camp gate and come back, and then shouted: "Pass the order, Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”
"Dangdang
The sound of Ming Jin was a great deal, except for the short-tempered Zhang Fei who also wanted to find Zhang Xiu's battle, the rest of the generals were secretly relieved, and under the command of Chen Zhi, Wei Yan, and Yan Yan, they slowly retreated. Don't let the formation mess up, give Zhang Xiuke an opportunity, and Fu Shiren's army responded later, and Liu Bei's army finally successfully retreated into the camp after losing some of its soldiers. Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Beijun, who had successfully retreated into the camp, snorted lightly, beckoned a junior colonel and said, "Go back to the city and let General Guan lead the army." The little colonel answered the call and left.
After a few years, Guan Hai led another 10,000 troops down, and Zhang Xiu asked Tai Shici, Wang Shuang, and Guan Hai to each lead an army of nearly 10,000 people to take turns attacking the camp. Liu Bei's camp was only built overnight, which was not strong, and was attacked by Tai Shici and the three of them in turn, so they could only rely on the battalion to defend it. In such a battle, Liu Beijun's casualties were not as large as Fang Cai's, but they were not small, and the casualties were equal compared to Zhang Xiujun's. When Zhang Xiu received this news, he didn't care, but asked the three of them to step up their attack and fight until sunset before leading the troops back to the city.
Back in the city, Zhang Xiuzi asked the soldiers to go back to rest. Prepare to fight again tomorrow, not to mention. On the other side, the main account of Liu Bei's camp, everyone under Liu Bei is in the tent.
Zhuge Liang said with a solemn expression: "Lord, Liang thinks that Jiangzhou can no longer be attacked, so it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible at this time and reduce the losses." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately said angrily: "How can you retreat until now, wouldn't this make Zhang Xiu'er laugh?" ”
Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhang Fei and said indifferently: "Is the soldier's life important or face important?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he was speechless. Zhuge Liang then said to Liu Bei: "My lord, in fact, since Zhang Xiu's army entered Jiangzhou, our army has no chance of victory, and the previous battle was just a mutual test, in fact, there were not too many casualties, but now the situation is different. Now Zhang Xiu is attacking regardless of losses, and he has made up his mind that he wants to lose both with our army. If we do not retreat at this time, our army will suffer heavy losses".
Liu Bei frowned, and said suspiciously: "Little two losers? What do you mean by this? ”
Zhuge Liang sighed: "The lord must know that Zhang Xiu's subordinates now have Si Liang and the land of Sizhou, with a population of more than 10 million, and the lord only has one Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu now only uses the ordinary recruitment system to have so many soldiers, not to mention that if he recruits strong men into the army, Zhang Xiu is millions of troops can be pieced together at that time." And if our army is exhausted in this confrontation with Zhang Xiu's army, if Zhang Xiu's army counterattacks in the future, how can our army stop it. Liang persuaded the lord to retreat to Linjiang first, and occupy the land of Badong first, as long as the road into Sichuan is in the hands of the lord, he can make another plan next year, which is like wasting military power in vain.
Liu Bei heard that he was still hesitating, and there were also disagreements on the side of the generals, Chen Dao, Wei Yan and Wen Ping agreed with what Zhuge Liang said, but Zhang Fei and Yan Yan vigorously opposed it. Liu Feng, Liu Pan and others did not have much opinion, and everything was subject to Liu Bei's intentions. If Yan Yan objected, it could be said that it was because his family was small in Jiangzhou, and Zhang Fei's opposition was obviously for the sake of face.
Although Zhang Xiu has not threatened him with Yan Yan's family now, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Xiu will not do this for two days, so Yan Yan is desperate to hope that Liu Bei can capture Jiangzhou and save his home
I only heard Yan Yan say loudly: "Uncle Huang, the eldest prince and Yongnian have been to Chengdu for a while, and a few days ago, there were also spies who came to report, saying that an army appeared east of Chengdu and west of Jiangzhou, and it seems to be under the banner of the eldest prince." I'm afraid that Chengdu has been taken by the eldest prince and Yongnian at this time, and we only need to wait for a few days again, and wait for the news of the fall of Chengdu to spread into the city of Jiangzhou, and then Jiangzhou will be chaotic, and we can capture Jiangzhou. And today Zhang Xiu's unusually offensive is very urgent, Yan thought that he was afraid that Zhang Xiu had received the news of the fall of Chengdu, and forced the emperor's uncle to withdraw his troops, so he could turn around and recapture Chengdu. Therefore, Yan thought that he should hold on at this time! ”
