Because of the small victory over Huang Gai yesterday, it opened up an opportunity to attack Linhuai. [Source of this book www.
The next day, Zhao Yun got up early. After a hurried breakfast, he immediately called Liu Xun and the generals to discuss the attack.
"As the saying goes, calling him sick will kill him. Huang Gai's morale was lost in yesterday's battle. It's a great time. Send troops." In the big tent, Liu Xun's morale was high and he shouted.[
"Send troops, send troops, send troops." The generals also became excited and shouted.
"Okay, beat the drums, blow the trumpets, and send out troops to attack Linhuai." Zhao Yunjian's morale was ready, so he couldn't help but shouted and ordered.
"Promise." The generals agreed loudly, turned around and walked out in unison.
Soon after, Zhao Yun and Liu Xun's camp heard the sound of trumpets and the sound of drums.
Zhao Yun and Liu Xun, wearing armor and astride war horses, led more than 10,000 soldiers from the camp and went straight to Linhuai City not far away.
It's extremely aggressive.
On the contrary, the morale of the Linhuai defenders was dampened.
Yesterday, Huang Gai saw Zhao Yun's army humiliating Cheng Pu's head outside the city. Huang Gai was angry and sent troops, but was unable to recapture Cheng Pu's head. Instead, he suffered a small defeat and lost some troops.
After that, Zhao Yun repeated his old tricks and played with Cheng Pu's head outside the city, so much so that Cheng Pu's head fell apart after playing with it.
Huang Gai looked up to the sky and roared, but he was not allowed to send troops. He is still cultivating in the city to this day.
This is how the morale of the Linhuai garrison is not depressed.
Under such circumstances, Pan Zhang, as the deputy general, took on the responsibility of the general and began to take charge of the leadership alone.
When the sound of drums and horns came from the camps of Zhao Yun and Liu Xun, Pan Zhang happened to be inspecting the city wall. Now, morale is a bit low.
The troops did not have the upper hand, and Pan Zhang could not think of a way to boost morale. He could only patrol the city walls diligently to win the hearts of the soldiers.
But the results were minimal.
"Are you here?" Pan Zhang raised his head and looked to the west, his expression solemn.
"The order is given, the soldiers are ready. Officers above Dubbo must stand on the front line and resist the attack." Immediately afterwards, Pan Zhang issued the order.
At an emergency moment, emergency orders should be used. Pan Zhang wanted to use generals and officers to support the front to boost morale. Of course, Pan Zhang himself was the same.
"Promise." The messenger promised and immediately went down to deliver the order.[
"Let's go." Pan Zhang took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and led his soldiers towards the city gate tower.
When Pan Zhang returned to the city gate tower and the soldiers were just getting ready, Zhao Yun had already set up his formation under the city.
Among them, the soldiers carrying sacks and planning to fill in the moat are in the front, accompanied by archers to protect them. Behind them are the cloud echelons. They fill in the moat, provide cover, and finally attack.
Zhao Yun has already considered all the steps to attack the city.
The Art of War says, besiege a city with ten, attack it with five, and fight with twice as many. Zhao Yun's current military strength is not enough to besiege the city, nor is it enough to attack it, but in yesterday's battle, Zhao Yun opened a gap.
At this moment, the soldiers' eyes were bright, their expressions were excited, and they seemed ready to move.
Yesterday's battle made today's morale very high. The attack on the city came at the best time.
