Chapter 217

There is a saying that those who are good fighters throughout the ages have never made great achievements.

Regarding the tactical duel, one can get a glimpse of it from this sentence.

Wars have always been won by the strong and the strong.

The reason why the example of winning more with less can be passed down for thousands of years is because it is accidental or a miracle that cannot be replicated.

The stronger the strategist, the less he will rely on ingenuity, and it is mostly used for auxiliary purposes, so that the balance of victory will be tilted towards him faster.

The law of war says: use righteousness to win by surprise.

The general trend of military strategists has always been mighty and upright.

If a team is counting on a surprise victory, it proves that the combat effectiveness of this team is far inferior to that of the enemy.

Because the success rate of ingenuity can never be estimated, most smart people like to fully control the existing resources in their hands, and will not entrust success or failure to such uncontrollable things.

Right now Zhang Liao has [-] soldiers under his command, of which [-] are officers and soldiers of the school office, [-] are Liangfu County defenders, [-] are Liu Bei's elite troops, and [-] are from the Ace Army level.

In a head-to-head confrontation, they should not lose to Sun Guan's Taishan Bandit, so both Guo Jia and Jia Xu agreed to fight in an upright manner.

Seeing that the two think tanks agreed to fight head-on, Zhang Liao no longer objected.

They are just the candidates sent to break out into the city...

Zhang Liao took a look, he and Xu Huang were the only generals in the army now.

And he was responsible for commanding the army, so naturally he couldn't go.

But Xu Huang didn't control himself and couldn't give orders, so Zhang Liao wanted to discuss it with Xu Huang.

Thinking in his heart, Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Gongming, please command the army. A certain person is planning to break through the city personally. Please Zhuge Juncheng and our army should cooperate with each other to defeat the bandit army."

This sentence is Zhang Liao's rhetoric for retreating.

Xu Huang is honest, but not stupid, how could he not understand what Zhang Liao meant.

Besides, he is Qu Junhou, who was personally appointed by Liu Bei, and he is just the head of the school office.

"Wen Yuan's words are inappropriate!" Xu Huang clasped his fists and said seriously, "As the commander-in-chief of an army, Wen Yuan shoulders a heavy responsibility, how could he take risks himself. Let someone go on this breakout trip."

Seeing that Xu Huang took the initiative to ask for Ying, Zhang Liao backed down a few more words, and then agreed, but just when he was about to speak, there was an angry voice from under the tent.

"It's just a mere breakout into the city, why don't the two generals go there in person! A certain person is willing to lead a hundred people into the city, and go there for the two generals!"

Zhang Liao looked up and saw a young general in his 20s standing up, clasped his fists and said loudly.

"Wen Xiang, there is no joke in the army, this trip is dangerous, do you really want to go?"

The young general's name is Xu Sheng, and his character is Wenxiang.

A few days ago, when Zhang Liao marched to Dongguan, he was suddenly stopped by a team of hundreds of people, and the leader was Xu Sheng.

He threatened to join the army and make contributions.

Zhang Liao saw that he was very brave and had hundreds of good family members under his command, so he agreed to his request and first ordered him to serve as Jia Xu's bodyguard in the army.

Xu Sheng was nearly eight feet tall, and he was very mighty. At this moment, he said with a serious face: "A man should make a contribution, why not be afraid of the sword, I am willing to lead the army, and I ask the general to do it! If not, the general can punish the crime by military law !"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but moved and praised: "Wen Xiang is so brave, sure! If you can break through the siege and enter the city, it will be the first victory in this battle!"

"Thank you General!"

Xu Sheng clasped his fists and replied loudly.

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "You don't have many soldiers under your command, so I will have 500 more people with you, remember to break through and enter the city! I will also lead an army to assist, you go down and prepare."

"only!"

Xu Sheng clasped his fists in response, turned around and walked out of the tent.

In the tent, Zhang Liao said to Xu Huang again: "Gongming, please help us to raid the formation for Wen Xiang later, so that he can break through the encirclement and enter the city smoothly."

"It's natural."

Xu Huang nodded.

……

In the camp of Taishan thief Sun Guan.

"Brother Chang, is the Han army really that powerful?"

Sun Guan asked, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Sun Guan still welcomes Chang Xi's arrival.

Among the four bandits on Mount Tai, Sun Guan's strength is the strongest except for Zang Ba, with nearly 5000 soldiers under his command. This time the siege of Fenggao only brought [-] people.

Although he is much stronger than Chang Xi, the relationship between them is pretty good.

Seeing that Chang Xi was beaten to the ground this time, he felt very sympathetic, so he took Chang Xi in.

"It's not necessarily so strong!"

As soon as the Han army was mentioned, Chang Xi couldn't help snorting coldly, and said with hatred in his eyes: "It's just that a certain man besieged Liang Fu for several months, and the soldiers were exhausted, so he was attacked by the Han army at night. In normal times, the Han army would Definitely not someone's opponent!"

"Okay, okay, I just asked casually, don't you care too much." Sun Guan comforted me, and then asked, "You have more than 1 people under your command, and there are not a few Han troops who want to attack you at night. How many troops?"

He wanted to ask about the intelligence of the Han army so that he could deal with the Xuzhou army that was about to arrive soon.

"This……"

As soon as the number of people was mentioned, Chang Xi's face turned red, and he couldn't hold back.

Although it was night at that time, Chang Xi could see clearly that the number of soldiers under Xu Huang's command would never exceed 2000, or even less!

It's just that more than 1 people were defeated by 2000 people, how could he say such words.

Seeing Sun Guan looking at him with doubts, Chang Xi said in a foolish way: "Naturally, there are a lot of people, otherwise XX would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat."

Sun Guan was obviously not very satisfied with the answer, and continued to ask: "There are a lot of people in this know, how many people are there?"

This Sun Zhongtai is so annoying, do you have to find out the root cause?

"In the dark night, I didn't see clearly, but there are definitely no less than five or six thousand people."

In order to save his own face, and to prevent Sun Guan from despising him, Chang Xi resolutely chose to conceal the facts.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Chang Xi said, Sun Guan couldn't help but nodded.

The combat power of the regular army of the imperial court is well known to be strong, and it is reasonable for Changxi to face the night attack of five or six thousand Han troops.

"Then who is the commander of this Han army..."

Sun Guan continued to ask, but before he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly rushed in, clasped his fists and said, "General, the Han army is attacking!"

"what!"

Sun Guan thought that Liu Bei's army had arrived, so he hurriedly stood up and shouted with a shocked face.

This is true, when you talk about the Han army, the Han army will arrive.

Sun Guan didn't dare to think about it anymore, but hurriedly put on his armor, hugged the helmet tightly in his arms, and asked at the same time:
"How many troops have the enemy army come?"

The messenger clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Return to the general, the Han army should have no less than 2000 people!"

What?
Only 2000 people!
Hearing this, Sun Guan was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he threw the helmet in his hand at the messenger.

"Hmph, but two thousand Han troops, have you been scared out of your wits! You coward!"

After smashing it, Sun Guan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and he was relieved.

Damn it, this dog didn't explain clearly, it almost scared me to death.

When he came back to his senses, Sun Guan sneered, and said to Chang Xi: "Hmph, I really don't know what it means to dare to attack with a mere two thousand Han troops. Brother Chang, would you like to go out with someone to watch?"

"Go, and I will accompany you to see what happened."

Chang Xi readily agreed.

When the two put on their armor, mounted their horses, walked out of the camp, and arrived at Feng Gao's encirclement, they found that there was no one there.

Sun Guan looked left and right, but he didn't even see half of the Han army, but there were more corpses on the ground.

He couldn't help asking the messenger: "Where are the people, where is the Han army?"

Hearing Sun Guan's question, the messenger couldn't help but scratched his head, looked left and right and said: "General, I really saw the Han army rushing here just now, but they disappeared for some reason."

Sun Guan said angrily: "You bastard, you can see clearly just now!"

"General, the villain just saw it with his own eyes!" The orderly shouted.

Sun Guan snorted coldly and ignored him. Instead, he waved his hand and summoned a soldier next to him. After questioning him, he understood the whole story.

It turned out that Xu Sheng led 500 people, chose the weakest point surrounded by Taishan bandits, and rushed in.

The Taishan bandit was caught off guard, and was actually rushed in by Xu Sheng.When he reacted and wanted to surround him, Xu Huang led 2000 people to kill him, helping Xu Sheng resist the pressure.

After Xu Huang broke through, after Xu Sheng broke into the siege, he hurriedly sent a signal to the gate of the city to show his identity, and asked to open the gate to let him enter the city.

Zhuge Jin happened to be inspecting the city defense today. Seeing this scene, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to open the city gate and let Xu Sheng enter the city.

Seeing that the city gate was slowly opening, Xu Sheng was fine, but the Taishan thieves who besieged the city were all crazy.

This is a city that they have been attacking for more than two months but have not been able to break through!

There is money and food in it, as well as white and tender girls!

As long as you can go in, you have everything!

Now, Xu Huang's pressure soared, and he almost couldn't hold on anymore.

Fortunately, Xu Sheng's movements were still nimble, and he quickly led his army into the city, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed.

When the city gate was completely closed and Xu Huang's mission was completed, he was relieved and shouted loudly to retreat.

"How many people did the Han army rush in?"

Feng Gao could not be defeated at first, but now he heard that the Han army had rushed into the city, Sun Guansheng was afraid that it would help the city defense, so he hurriedly asked.

"Back to the general, there are about 500 people."

Sun Guan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sneer, "500 people are nothing to worry about."

In the current battle situation, 500 people are indeed dispensable for the city defense.

But this battle proved one thing, that is, Xuzhou Liu Bei has really sent troops.

Then I should have prepared early...

Sun Guan looked at the Fenggao city wall and sighed in his heart.

 so much sleep today
