"Damn it! The government troops are here to help!"
"Commander Li of the left wing was killed by the red-faced green-robed man!”
"General Cheng on the right was killed by a black-faced brute.”
"The rear army has collapsed!"
In an instant, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army's Guan Hai Division was filled with a somber and solemn atmosphere.
"Damn it, all our efforts have been for naught. Gather the defeated troops and retreat first!”
Since the Yellow Turban Army was unable to take Tough City, they were already tired. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived outside the city, they were afraid that they would be attacked from both sides. They could only choose to retreat and immediately withdraw their troops in order to change the situation.
This was already considered Guan Hai's last resort.
It couldn't be helped. The Yellow Turban generals under him were basically the same as him, with humble backgrounds.
His subordinates were all poor people who could not even read a few words. There were no strategists around him, so naturally, there was no order to march and fight.
Although Guan Hai had been fortunate enough to listen to the teachings of a great teacher and had more or less experience in leading the army, even if there seemed to be various loopholes in the command, it was already quite difficult for a Yellow Turban general who had only been a peasant uprising to think of so many things.
The Yellow Turban army retreated and the siege of Duchang was temporarily lifted.
However, the victorious Liu Bei army did not have any intention of rushing into the city.
Instead, he sent Taishi Ci back to report and set up camp outside the city.
"Phew... Mister Zimou." Jian Yong returned with his long sword and greeted the dumbfounded Xia Cheng with a smile.
That's right, Jian Yong this fellow also ran to the battlefield to kill people just now.
Of course, in the eyes of Xia Cheng, who had no strength at all, it was very shocking, but in the present, it was actually not that unbelievable.
This was because the scholars of today were not like the pedantic scholars of the future. They only knew how to hold paper fans and chat, recite poems, and compose poems.
One had to know that the Confucians of the Han Dynasty advocated the idea of revenge. The revenge of nine lifetimes could still be avenged!
Therefore, the scholars of the Han Dynasty did not only carry a fan. They could also hold a sword and draw it openly!
Moreover, they were not completely powerless. Most of them had practiced sword techniques, and some of them knew riding and archery. Among the Six Arts of a Gentleman, archery was one of them.
In this era, civil and martial arts were not separated, and they would not value civil and martial arts.
The powerful scholars were all experts in fighting and calming the people.
At this moment, most of the famous generals and warriors were also scholars. Strictly speaking, they all called themselves party members!
The most obvious representatives were Lu Zhi and Zhu Xi.
Back to the main topic.
Xia Cheng and Jian Yong accompanied each other. Not long after they entered the tent, Zhang Fei returned with his Ten Feet Snake Spear.
However, looking at his unsatisfied expression, it was obvious that he had not killed enough in the battle just now.
Speaking of which, Liu Bei and the others were really familiar with fighting the Yellow Turbans.
Starting from Zhuo County, he had fought dozens of battles, all of which were related to the Yellow Turbans.
Among the Yellow Turban Army that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had killed, there were dozens of commanders, big and small.
…
"Now that the siege of Duchang has been lifted, Guan Hai's army is still there. I wonder if Gongcao Xia has a good plan?”
Guan Yu, who was sitting down, twirled his long beard and narrowed his phoenix eyes. He immediately looked at Xia Cheng, as if he wanted to hear what the latter had mentioned about the "backup plan".
After all, it was because of Xia Cheng's suggestion that they let go of the chance to kill Guan Hai.
Otherwise, anyone who knew a bit of military knowledge would know that shooting a person first was to shoot a horse, and capturing a thief first was to capture the king.
As long as he killed Guan Hai with lightning speed and then led his troops to kill them, the 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers would be nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs.
Now, because of their intentional indulgence, they had missed the opportunity.
Even though neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei were afraid of the Yellow Turban Army led by tens of thousands of Guan Hai troops, they were not afraid of the Yellow Turban Army.
However, the other side had the advantage in numbers. Even if there were 50,000 big white pigs in front of them, it would be difficult to kill them all. Moreover, the other side did not lack elite soldiers.
As for seizing the opportunity to behead Guan Hai, it wouldn't be that easy anymore.
"Hundred Battles Strange Strategy" said: In general, the so-called surprise is to attack the enemy unprepared and surprise them.
They were already aware of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's combat strength, and they also understood the risks they would have to bear if they were to personally go out. Was there still a possibility of using a surprise attack to behead them?
Under such circumstances, it could only be said in "Tang Taizong Li Weigong's Questions": A man who is good at war is always correct and strange, so that the enemy is unpredictable. Therefore, the correct way can win, and the strange way can also win…
This was also the so-called victory of the positive and the strange.
Righteousness and strangeness actually coexisted on the battlefield.
Only when the positive and the strange changed between true and false, alternating between cover, could they win a hundred battles!
However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not afraid. The thousands of soldiers they had gathered with great difficulty could not withstand such a consumption.
To the weak Liu Bei, every loss was a loss.
Xia Cheng, who had already made plans for this, was naturally aware of this.
"General Yun Zhang has naturally taken into consideration the thirteen chapters of Sun Wu. There's no truth. In war, if you know the actual situation, you will win.”
Xia Cheng paused for a moment before continuing,"Qi Zheng is the reason why it is illusory. If the enemy is strong, we must use the right strategy. If the enemy is weak, we must use the strange strategy.”
