"I'm afraid there are no less than 20,000 people in formation heading towards us. Our army has been fighting fiercely for nearly two hours. All the soldiers are tired and it's getting late. How about we go back and set up camp?" Guan Yu suggested to Chen Xi.
.
Chen Xi and Guo Jia looked at each other with surprise on their faces, "It's not that exaggerated. What's the opponent's flag?"
"The commander-in-chief's flag of the Chinese army is Wen, and the deputy flags are judged. Jiang, Wang, and Xia are marching in formation, uniformly." Zhao Yun said helplessly, "Our army should prepare early. If there is another battle, I'm afraid there won't be any
It’s so easy.”
"I was deceived..." Guo Jia sighed and said, "He actually marched in formation. Tian Feng is indeed a quick-thinking person, and he actually deceived two generals like this."
"Commander Guo means that the previous army was a disguise for the defeated army?" Zhao Yun was also a quick-thinking person and instantly understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words.
"Yes, it was a defeated army, but the quality of the opponent's soldiers was not bad. They did not completely collapse when they retreated. They then formed an array after the retreat. I'm afraid they wanted to disguise themselves as reinforcements and attack our army from both front and back while they were opening their jaws to attack.
"Guo Jia said confidently.
"If such a well-organized enemy reinforcement appears during the chaotic battle between our army and Zhang Jaw, I am afraid that the morale will not be good. Moreover, in that situation, even if we know that it is a disguised reinforcement, it will be of no value."
Chen Xi took over the conversation and said.
If the army was entangled with Zhang Jaw before, and after Tian Feng returned to the army, he ordered Yuan Tan to quickly organize the army and pretend to be the second infantry reinforcement that came after Zhang Jaw with a serious and neat military appearance, I am afraid that he would have been defeated and succeeded!
To be honest, there is no difference at all in terms of combat effectiveness disguised as reinforcements, but it will cause different psychological pressure on Liu Bei's soldiers.
If the soldiers who are killed are the previously defeated soldiers, for Liu Bei's army, if he can deal with you once, he must be able to deal with you a second time. However, if you switch to the second supporting army, the psychological pressure is completely different.
The emergence of a new army means that their army fought three armies one after another. Moreover, they were exhausted after fighting the first army, and encountered the third army when they were fighting the second army. As a result, morale must be greatly improved.
Once the soldiers no longer have the belief that they will win, even if Chen Xi and Guo Jia know that the opponent is a reinforcement disguised as a defeated soldier, there is no way to defeat them.
Guan Yu opened his mouth, but did not express his question.
"General Guan probably wants to say what to do if they are really reinforcements. Let us take precautions early. Well, it is indeed possible. He ordered the scouts to go and investigate. Confirm!" Chen Xi looked at Guan Yu and said, and Guan Yu nodded slightly.
, indicating that this is indeed what he meant.
Guo Jia shrugged. He and Chen Xi knew that the reinforcements on the other side were fake. One important point was the time difference. Zhang Jia led the cavalry to attack, and they defeated Zhang Jia within a quarter of an hour. You must know that saving people is like putting out fire.
Zhang Jaw must have rushed over at the fastest speed.
Zhang Jaw led one of the most elite cavalry in the north. They fought wildly for two hours, and the infantry could reach the battlefield within two hours and a quarter. Then this cavalry was of little value. It ran as fast as
As fast as a person, this is still one person and two horses...
What's more important is that both Zhao Yun and Guan Yu said that the other party was moving forward in formation. You must know that moving forward in formation means that the speed is greatly reduced. If you can catch up with the cavalry in this way, I am afraid that this cavalry will definitely be the slowest in the world...
…
Soon the scouts came to report that Yuan Shao's army had already withdrawn from the north, with an orderly appearance and an unhurried pace.
"They were cheated." A cold light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, "Let's go after them!"
"It's better not to go. The opponent's military appearance is so strict. I'm afraid the rear has already been prepared." Zhao Yun's brain is very flexible. Except for occasionally being deceived, most of the time it will be revealed.
"That's it. We will cut up all the dead cattle. We will give the soldiers extra food at night. There happens to be a lot of supplies in Yuan Shaojun's military camp. They have been tested for poisons before. Let the soldiers eat with ease at night. Zilong, you
It will be harder at night, you and Zhong Kang will patrol the camp, and we will probably have to rest in this Dazhai overnight." Chen Xi nodded to Zhao Yun, and then arranged, the quality of the Hebei army is still good.
"Here." Zhao Yun said with cupped fists and a salute.
After the army was reorganized in the evening, and all the generals and commanders were in place, Chen Xi ordered people to arrange food and drinks, and they talked while eating.
"Tell me, what do you think of the Hebei Army?" Chen Xi looked at the generals who had been sent down and asked.
"It's really a powerful enemy, not a quick veteran like Cao Mengde. The Hebei Army has been tempered from the generals to the soldiers. Even when it was defeated, there was no such big collapse. They evacuated under the command of generals at all levels. Their combat quality is very good."
Strong, there is rarely chaos." Guan Yu put down his wine bottle and was the first to speak.
"Yes, the Hebei Army is very brave from the generals to the soldiers." Zhao Yun said, "They have their own beliefs. Yuan Benchu's Jizhou is different from the Jizhou where I was back then."
Chen Xi nodded. He also noticed that when Yan Liang returned to the army and prepared to die, more than half of the soldiers were willing to follow him. This is very revealing.
To be honest, Chen Xi estimates that if it weren't for his existence, the wise and cheating Yuan Shao in this life would definitely be able to dominate the world. Yuan Shao relied on differentiation and win-overs to completely control the entire Jizhou family. More importantly, Yuan Shao relied on
The land has gradually won the hearts and minds of the people in Jizhou.
"Their generals are also very strong, and they also know how to advance and retreat." Sima Ju pointed to the wound on his chest, "I feel like the other party is a bit like a bandit, and their techniques are very similar."
"Ju Gong and Yuan Benchu, who advised Yuan Benchu, relaxed the control over the population in Jizhou. As long as it is not a heinous crime, military merit can be exempted." Chen Xi sighed and said, Ju Shou is also very powerful.
"All the green-skinned hooligans in the countryside were captured and put through labor reform. Rangers were recruited into the army and selected for lower-level official positions based on their strength. Bandits and bandits, and those who had the strength and willingness to correct their evil ways were selected for middle-level and lower-level official positions in the army. Past crimes will be forgotten, and they will be promoted based on military merit." Chen Xi.
He smiled and said, since the term "reform through labor" appeared, knowledgeable people from all over the world have advised their lords to kill less and reshape more.
"I just said that the way that guy used the knife was so like a horse thief!" Zhou Cang also said angrily. He was bitten by a guy named Peng An and had a big gash on his leg.
As soon as Zhou Cang said this, there was a lot of curses below. There are many mountain bandits and horse thieves among Yuan Shao's army, just like there are many yellow turbans among Liu Bei's army. This is a local characteristic...
"Okay, okay, calm down. Let's eat and drink. Tomorrow we will move to Linyi. We will need to be stationed there for a long time in the future." Chen Xi stretched out his hand to calm down the scene. He didn't want this group of people to calm down.
The guy is continuing to make trouble, so I’d better do it myself to study Yuan Shaojun. (To be continued)
