Taishi Ci received the order to change the secret behavior of the secret road with great fanfare and false flags. The 15,000-strong army falsely claimed to be 30,000, claiming to trample Guan Hai. When Guan Hai heard the news, he gathered all the leaders of his subordinates, Zhang Baiqi, and his two generals in his camp for a meeting. Although Guan Hai was the number one fierce general of the Yellow Turban army, he was indeed lacking in leadership. The leaders of his subordinates clearly lacked too many constraints. Most of them were people with muscles stronger than brains. Except for a few people who showed a trace of doubt, the hall was noisy for a moment. The crowd was excited and demanded to send troops to defeat this arrogant Taishi Ci. However, no one could figure out why the Donglai County garrison had suddenly attacked at this time.
Zhang Baiqi revealed a thoughtful expression. However, he was now a guest and was no longer the general who dominated a region. In Guan Hai's army, he was just a guest and a defeated general. "Marshal Zhang, how do you think we should deal with this?”Although Guan Hai's own ability was limited, he was still the commander of hundreds of thousands of people who had been tempered thousands of times. His own limited ability did not mean that he had the same vision as his subordinates. Zhang Baiqi had always had a reputation among the Yellow Turban strategists. He would not lose his wisdom because of a defeat.
"Guan Qu Shuai, I don't think this matter is simple. Taishi Ci was an important general of the North Sea. There was no reason for the North Sea to remain silent for such an important operation. I'm afraid it's a diversion.”Zhang Baiqi was indeed not simple. With just a few words, he hit the nail on the head. Although he missed, he was not far away.
Guan Hai could not help but reveal a solemn expression. Although he lacked strategy, it did not mean that he lacked judgment. Zhang Baiqi's guess was indeed very reasonable. North Sea was now strong and powerful. Now that they had suddenly sent troops out of Donglai Prefecture, it would be hard to say that there was no coincidence. "But if we don't attack Taishi Ci, what can our army do? Previously, our army lacked provisions and was unable to seize the opportunity to occupy Donglai Prefecture. As a result, the territory we occupied was limited and there was no room for negotiation. The only way now is to attack and defeat Taishi Ci first. Then, we can take Donglai Prefecture and take the newly harvested rations. We can take the opportunity to move our camp to Donglai Prefecture and then defend it.”Although Guan Hai's strategy was not strong, the fact that he was able to dominate hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans showed that he was not a brainless person. At this moment, he was forced to come up with a good plan.
Zhang Baiqi knew that it was indeed difficult to advance or retreat now, and he could not think of any other good plan at the moment. Although he had come to Guan Hai Division many times and said that he would take advantage of the situation to take Donglai Prefecture, Guan Hai Division was indeed short of food before the summer harvest. This year, with the addition of thousands of mouths, they were even more nervous. Before the summer harvest, the army often did not have enough to eat. How could they march and fight? Many days, they could only eat one meal a day or three meals a day. After Xia collected the grain from the surrounding counties, he solved the problem of the lack of grain. "Our army must fight!" Guan Hai said decisively," In for a penny, in for a pound. I will personally lead the main force to attack Taishi Ci and seize Donglai Prefecture. Zhang Qu Shuai will protect our camp and ensure the safety of our rear. Our camp is close to mountains and rivers. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhang Qu will lead the army to defend. It would definitely be as firm as a rock. Once our army defeats Taishi Ci and gains a foothold in Donglai Prefecture, we will send people to assist the main camp and occupy Donglai Prefecture together.”Guan Hai did as he said, once he decided, he would go all out, this was one of Guan Hai's strong qualities!
So Guan Hai led 60,000 troops eastward to meet Taishi Ci's troops. He left 40,000 soldiers to Zhang Baiqi to guard the camp. Although Guan Hai and Zhang Baiqi had once been at odds because of the conflict of interests, now that the nest had been overturned, there were no intact eggs. Zhang Baiqi was much stronger than his useless subordinates. It was much safer to leave the heavy responsibility of guarding the camp to Zhang Baiqi than his own subordinates. Guan Hai was indeed worthy of being a commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, he was decisive and decisive. Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun's actions would be met with Guan Hai and Zhang Baiqi's powerful obstruction.
Taishi Ci's army met Guan Hai's army in Dangli. This place was more than a hundred miles away from Guan Hai's camp and more than a hundred miles away from Cheng County, Donglai Prefecture, where Taishi Ci had departed. Guan Hai's 60,000 soldiers versus Taishi Ci's 15,000 soldiers. Through scouting and observation, Taishi Ci knew that Guan Hai's troops numbered no less than 50,000. Judging from their marching, they were well-organized, and their elites were probably not small. This was the first time Taishi Ci had faced a powerful enemy on his own, but he didn't feel any fear. They chose a favorable terrain to set up camp. The front of the camp was narrow and the back was wide. There was a long and narrow entrance on both sides. One side was leaning against a steep mountain and the other side was leaning against a surging river. In front of the camp was a long and narrow area that was hundreds of feet long and tens of feet wide. It was the best terrain to defend against strong enemies. His subordinate could not see that his commander was nervous at all, and his heart was very stable. A general is the courage of a soldier. Taishi Ci's burning fighting spirit caused the fighting spirit of the troops around him to boil. "Tomorrow, Houcheng will lead the troops to guard the main camp. I will lead the 2nd Battalion to attack.”Taishi Ci decided to attack instead of defending, making a decisive stance so that Guan Hai couldn't figure out the actual situation. He ordered a steady lieutenant under him, surnamed Li, to guard the camp. If he led his troops to attack, he had to show Guan Hai his might.
The next day. "Guan Hai, come out and die!" Taishi Ci rode out of the formation and shouted. Several Yellow Turban leaders in Guan Hai's camp were furious and rushed out without waiting for Guan Hai to respond. Taishi Ci smiled slightly, drew his bow, and drew his arrows. He shot several arrows in a row in one go, and a moment later, miserable cries could be heard almost at the same time. Such fast and powerful archery!
Taishi Ci's camp was filled with cheers, and their morale was raised to its peak. Guan Hai's camp was completely silent. Guan Hai saw that something was wrong. Although he was shocked by Taishi Ci's amazing arrows, he ordered the deputy general Li Tie (also known as Shengde, netizen Qingxue guest star provided performance) to guard the main camp. He led the personal guard camp captain Guo Yi (also known as Zhengxin, netizen Qingxue guest star provided performance) to lead the personal guard camp of more than 5000 people into battle. Guan Hai rode out of the battle array, self-reliant on his martial arts and bravery, and came forward with a horse and a knife.
"Where did this wild brat come from?”Guan Hai had always been known as the Yellow Turban's number one fierce general. He had killed countless famous generals with his saber. His trust in his saber was indescribable, even more than his trust in others. Taishi Ci's eyes lit up when he saw Guan Hai fight. His battle intent surged as he sheathed his bow, took out his halberds, and charged forward. The two of them rode their horses and sped up. Finally, they collided head-on." Ha!" Both of them let out a loud shout. The galloping horses, the big sabers that broke through the air, and the indescribably strange double halberds let out a crisp and explosive sound. It was at this moment that their hearts froze. From the strength transmitted from their arms, they knew that they had met their strongest opponents. However, the two of them were both valiant people. Now that they had encountered an opponent, they were not shocked but happy. Instead, they stirred up a cold fighting spirit in each other's hearts.
Guan Hai shouted angrily, the saber in his hand getting stronger and stronger. The power of the saber was heavy, and it did not miss Taishi Ci's vital points. Taishi Ci dodged left and right, relying on his nimble body and outstanding martial arts skills to fight.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them fought for thirty to fifty rounds. Although Guan Hai was stronger than Taishi Ci, he was indeed the number one fierce general of the Yellow Turban army. However, Taishi Ci's martial arts skills were strong and he was the number one general in Qingzhou. Wu Yong was a famous general who could be compared to Sun Ce, a tiger general of his generation. He was even stronger than Guan Hai. His halberd was able to defeat his strength with ease. Gradually, Guan Hai's strength began to weaken. He had never met anyone who could last thirty rounds against him. Seeing Taishi Ci's bravery, he felt a strange sense of helplessness. This was the first time he had felt fear since he started cultivating. Although Taishi Ci was not famous, he was unexpectedly brave and had a martial technique that was even better than his!
After Taishi Ci's halberds blocked Guan Hai's attacks, he gradually began to turn from defense to offense. His attacks became fiercer and fiercer, and his moves became more and more vicious, often unexpected. Guan Hai finally knew that he had kicked an iron plate. He knew that if the battle continued for a long time, his blood would probably be spilled on the spot. For the first time, Guan Hai began to lose confidence in his martial prowess.
"It's too late today. Why don't we fight again tomorrow?”Guan Hai found an opening and jumped out of the battle circle, saying to Taishi Ci. However, he was unwilling to admit defeat. Taishi Ci smiled slightly. He knew that he had the upper hand, but he also knew that he would need at least a hundred rounds to defeat Guan Hai. Guan Hai was indeed the Yellow Turban's number one fierce general. He was born with great strength, and his kung fu was the best he had ever seen in his life. It would not be easy for him to determine the victor. When it came to life and death, he would have to pay a heavy price under Guan Hai's desperate attack. Anyway, his mission was to delay Guan Hai's main force. Today's battle had successfully shaken the morale of Guan Hai's army and boosted his own. Now that they had already given Guan Hai a show of strength, they must have attracted Guan Hai's attention and successfully established the illusion that they were the main force.
