Liu Bei quickly asked again,"Mister, do you have any good ideas?"”
Xu Shu's expression was calm and composed as he said,""My lord, don't worry. I'll wait for him to come.”
"What do you mean, Military Advisor?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.”
Xu Shu smiled." He wants to avenge Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. He has too few troops, so he will definitely be defeated by our army." If he brought too many troops, Fan City would definitely be empty.
"In this case, we only need to stall Cao Ren and order a general to attack. We can easily take down Fan City and cut off their retreat. Cao Ren can be defeated.”
"This plan is brilliant."
Liu Bei clapped his hands and laughed.
When everything was ready, a scout came to report,"My lord, Cao Ren has led his army across the river.”
"As expected, Military Advisor." Zhang Fei exclaimed.”
Xu Shu smiled and said nothing.
"My lord," said Zhao Yun,"I request to go to war."”
"Alright, then let Zilong go and take down the enemy's prestige first.”
Liu Bei nodded.
Zhao Yun led the army out of the city and shouted in front of the two armies. After more than ten rounds, he defeated the enemy general Li Dian. Cao Cao's army temporarily retreated ten miles and camped.
Liu Bei and the others were overjoyed at this victory.
Zhang Fei said," Cao Cao's army has been defeated for a while. Their morale will definitely be low. Why don't we attack tonight and defeat them in one fell swoop?"”
"Cao Ren has an army of more than 20,000, while we only have a few thousand soldiers. Once the other side is prepared, our army will be defeated and we will be unable to defend Xinye.
Our goal is to stall Cao Ren and buy time for General Guan to attack Fan City.
As long as they took down Fan City, Cao Ren would definitely be defeated. Why would they take the risk to attack the camp now?”
"This!"
Zhang Fei scratched his head.
Liu Bei smiled and said,"What you said makes sense."”
" Although it's unlikely that the Cao army will attack at night, we can't let our guard down," Xu Shu said." We can't be careless at any time on the battlefield."”
"Sir's reminder is correct."
Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
The night was peaceful.
The next day, Cao Cao's army came to attack the city again. They set up a battle formation outside the city and sent someone to ask Liu Bei and the others,""Do you recognize this formation?"
Liu Bei looked at the army formation outside the city and felt a murderous intent. He asked Xu Shu,""This formation looks extremely dangerous.”
Xu Shu climbed up to observe for a moment and smiled.""This formation is called the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.
The eight gates are: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing and Kai.
It is auspicious to enter from the Shengmen Gate, the Jingmen Gate and the Kaimen Gate.
From the injury door, shock door and rest door into the injury door;
Follow the closed door and the dead door, and the people will perish.
The enemy had set up these eight gates and they looked complete, but the center of the formation lacked a general to guard it, so its power was greatly reduced.
My lord, you only need to send a general to attack from the Life Gate in the southeast corner and the View Gate in the west, and this eight-gate golden lock array will be in chaos.”
"Good!"
Liu Bei immediately ordered the army to guard the corners of the formation. Zhao Yun led 500 soldiers to attack from the southeast corner of the 8 Gates Golden Lock Formation.
Cao Ren fled North to lead Zhao Yun to pursue.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun ignored him and only led the army to charge out from the West View Gate, then turned around and charged back to the southeast corner.
As expected, Cao Ren's army fell into chaos, and the eight-gate golden lock array collapsed instantly.
"Kill them!"
Liu Bei led his army to attack and defeat Cao Ren's army. Cao Ren fled in panic.
Xu Shu ordered people to sound the sound of gold to withdraw troops, to prevent Liu Bei's pursuit and alone deep.
Liu Bei led his army back to the city and praised Xu Shu's plan.
Xu Shu smiled." Cao Ren's army was forced into a corner. He must be unconvinced. I'm sure that he'll come for a surprise attack tonight."”
After these two strategies, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the others were all in awe of Xu Shu and no longer doubted his words.
"How should we defeat the enemy?" Liu Bei quickly asked.”
Xu Shu smiled and said,"Looking at the time, General Guan should have already taken down Fan City."
"This time, we have to destroy as many Cao troops as possible so that even if they return to Fan City, they won't have the strength to take back Fan City.”
"Advisor Jun, this time I should have a share, right?”
Zhang Fei asked impatiently.
The previous two times, he had stayed in the city to watch the show. It was always Zhao Yun leading the charge, and his hands were itching.
"Of course, General Zhang is the key to defeating the enemy this time.”
Xu Shu smiled and said.
"Hehe, that's good."
Zhang Fei was instantly excited.
Liu Bei and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled. Then, Liu Bei asked,""Sir, what should we do?"
"General Zhao will lead 1,000 troops to ambush outside the city, while General Zhang will lead 2,000 troops to ambush at the North River," said Xu Shu.”
" So there are only a few hundred soldiers guarding the city," Liu Bei said in surprise." Wouldn't it be dangerous for Cao Ren to attack the city at all costs?"”
"Not bad!"
Xu Shu nodded." Therefore, we must prepare enough torches in the city. When Cao Ren's army approaches, we will light them up.
The flames soared into the sky. Cao Ren would think that we had already guessed that he was coming for a surprise attack.
Once he knew that his plan had been exposed, Cao Ren would not dare to continue attacking the city and would retreat.
At this moment, General Zhao led his troops and charged out from the rear.
In the panic, Cao Ren had countless ambushes. He did not dare to stay and would definitely retreat to Fan City.
To return to Fan City, he had to cross the North River.
When the Cao army crosses the river, General Zhang will lead his army out and defeat the Cao army in one fell swoop.”
