Guan Yu looked at the Black Iron City in front of him, on the wall of the Black Iron City, those soldiers looked very confident, and seemed to be ready to fight a war to resist the invasion, but they only had a mere five hundred, Guan Yu didn't know where they got their confidence? But no matter where the other party's confidence came from, Guan Yu would defeat them.

It is really difficult to siege the city, you need to climb over the almost vertical city wall, the height of the ancient city wall is generally more than 10 meters, what kind of feeling does such a city wall give people? Maybe some people have seen the feeling of a three-storey building, yes, this is the feeling, the city wall is not only longer, but also thicker, it looks like a high wall that cannot be seen at a glance, on top of this high wall, there are soldiers defending the city, they are holding bows and arrows, ready to boil oil (the temperature is about 200 degrees) , even stones, huge logs, etc., which were used to kill and wound the besieging soldiers.

Some people may say that when attacking the city, send a few people directly to lure the other party to drop the materials, and use human lives to consume materials, there is no problem at all, but I have to say that people who think like this first make a stupid mistake, you must know that the soldiers defending the city are not stupid, if there are few people, they can resist it with bows and arrows, and those materials defending the city will not be used, so the real situation is that the soldiers besieging the city must use the number of people to put pressure on the defender, forcing the defender to quickly use a large number of materials, and then use a large number of lives to consume all the opponent's defending materials, and the attacking and defending sides are not looking at the ratio of numbers, but the ratio of numbers and supplies.

Fortunately, Black Iron City was only a small city, and Guan Yu visually thought that the guards guarding the city had supplies that could be thrown down four or five times at most, and it was impossible to have more.

Therefore, Guan Yu adopted a clever method, he divided the advance team into six waves, each wave of 1,000 people, these 6,000 people, all infantry, Guan Yu did not want to consume the cavalry.

How magnificent is it for a thousand men to attack a city of five hundred?

Guan Yu didn't go to attack the city, he had to be responsible for his own safety, if he went to attack the city now, he could only stand under the city wall and be beaten, so let those cannon fodder do it.

Guan Yu watched quietly, the first batch of 1,000 people came to the city wall, they took the ladders, and erected them on the city wall, these ladders are specially designed, and the bottom is supported by a triangular shelf, so they cannot be pushed down.

The top of the ladder is also covered with iron sheets, which are difficult to destroy whether it is burned or slashed.

Iron smelting was already around during the Qin Dynasty, and now by the end of the Han Dynasty, craftsmen were able to create tough, smooth iron sheets that could be used to wrap wooden equipment.

A group of ten soldiers climbed up a ladder.

The soldier on guard immediately took a bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the person on the ladder, but the person who shot the arrow was just an ordinary soldier, and the top of the ladder had a lot of spikes to block and prevent pushing, so his arrow was directly missed.

The crawling soldiers, also with bows and arrows, aimed at the defenders and shot them.

The arrow, as luck would have it, had struck one of the defenders in the eye through the gap.

"Ah, my eyes!" The guards couldn't help but participate, and the soldiers who were crawling below were overjoyed and immediately sped up.

"Whoosh" Another defender shot an arrow, directly hitting the throat of the fastest soldier, this soldier fell directly, and after the soldier fell, the soldier behind him pushed his body down, and then returned fire with a bow and arrow.

Not a single ladder, but dozens of ladders were climbing at the same time, some shooting arrows at the city walls on the ground, and some shooting arrows at the soldiers on the ladders on the walls.

In short, this battlefield is really chaotic, Guan Yu in the rear squinted Danfeng's eyes, looking at the situation on the battlefield, he roughly calculated that the ratio of battle losses is 1:5, every time a soldier defending the city dies, he will die five siege soldiers, this is still the other party has not yet started to use siege materials, roughly estimated to take this black iron city, at least four or five thousand soldiers will die.

This proportion of battle losses is too large, Guan Yu can't accept it, there are more than 100 soldiers who have died at present, and if they continue, they will face greater losses, Guan Yu sighed, knowing that it could not be violated, so he continued to fight, and his 40,000 soldiers were all disabled without waiting for himself to be in front of the opponent's main force.

Guan Yu ordered the troops to be collected, and the herald rang the golden bell, which was not really made of gold, but a bronze bell, taking the meaning of the morning bell and dusk drum, and the meaning of ringing the bell was to collect the troops.

The bell rang, Guan Yu's soldiers began to retreat, the speed of retreat was very fast, after all, these ordinary soldiers also felt the huge pressure, the people in front of them went up one by one to die, rarely saw the enemy die, they waited to go up, more than half of the chance was also to die, they didn't get the merits of the war, they lost their lives in vain, few people were willing to do this, but how can they fight without dying? There are really very few veterans who can survive ten wars.

Guan Yu ordered the troops to be collected, and then found Zhang Ji, facing Guan Yu, Zhang Ji didn't want to speak, after all, Guan Yu didn't listen to him just now, and directly asked the soldiers to go up to attack, without any strategy, directly attacking the city, this is the behavior of a reckless man.

When the defenders of the city like each other to come and die, but because the defenders like to send the besiegers to death, when they attack the city, they go to the death of what they like, this is the real brainless person.

Anyone with a little IQ knows that it is necessary to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, no matter what mood they are in.

Those who choose to die or commit suicide because they are in a good mood or in a bad mood are psychologically fragile and cowards among human beings.

Pigs destined to be slaughtered are desperate to survive and want to escape from their cages, and humans, as highly intelligent animals, choose another choice when faced with a similar (far inferior) situation, which has to be said to be a kind of self-mockery.

Guan Yu saw that Zhang Ji was unwilling to pay attention to him, knowing that he had made Zhang Ji unhappy, and put himself in his shoes, if it was himself, he would also be very unhappy, a person could obviously follow his own advice and not be harmed, but he chose not to believe it, and waited until his head broke and bled back to the person who suggested it, and said, "Why didn't you stop me at the beginning?"

Guan Yu knows that he is like this now, who knows the helplessness in Guan Yu's heart at this moment? Obviously, he made the right choice that he felt, but he was slapped in the face by reality, and then he had to go back to the person he didn't look down on at all to admit his mistake, Guan Yu felt that if the sky was watching, he should want to kill the sky, the so-called providence made people, but that's it.

Of course, Guan Yu is quibbling, the hypocritical Guan Yu let the heavens bear his mistakes, and unrepentance is such a characteristic, pushing his mistakes onto other people or things, even the ethereal God.

Should we be angry with such people?

Confucius said it very well: "If you attack heresy, you will be harmed." It means that Confucius said, "Attacking those who disagree with you will ultimately hurt yourself." “

We can regard those who say one thing and do the other as people with different opinions, and attack these people with words, and in the end we will harm ourselves.

Why? The principle is not simple, and ordinary people cannot understand it at all. Because when you verbally attack these people, how does the other person feel? In addition to the stronger anger, the other person will also have the feeling that you are the same kind of person as him, and once you talk to him, he will feel that you are equal to him, and he will have some inferiority complex, after all, his character is corrupt, and he knows it. Once he feels this sense of equality, you will also become the target of his attack, and he will throw dirty water on you, insult you, and even make up insults.

What if you ignore him? The sense of morality in society makes you feel that this person is here, and I am afraid that his thoughts will influence more people and make more people agree with him.

But in fact, you are wrong, for such a person, you don't need to pay attention to it at all, because no matter how arrogant the other party is, the people who will eventually agree with the other party will only be those who are the same as the other party, the so-called things gather by like, people by groups, you don't need to argue with such people, the real upright people will never approve of such behavior, the reason why honest people are silent is that they don't want to be contaminated with such evil people.

Although Guan Yu is hypocritical, who in the world is not hypocritical? Perhaps the real good people have always been just virtual characters, and they only appear in myths.

So fundamentally speaking, a real person cannot simply say that he is good or evil.

We can't judge whether a person is good or bad, but what a person does can be judged, such as helping others, is a good thing, a person who does such a thing, when doing this, is a good person, such as hurting others, is a bad person, and a person who does such a thing, when doing this, is a bad person.

People who do good deeds are good people when they do good deeds, and people who do bad deeds are bad people when they do bad deeds.

So you can see that the "good people" have become bad, not that the people have changed, but that they have done different things.

You can see that bad people do charity, not people are kind, but a way to avoid taxes.

The world is full of misleading judgments about good people and bad people, but no one stands up to correct such mistakes, maybe someone does this, but it will soon be forgotten, and generations of people repeat the same cognitive mistakes, waking up and falling asleep again and again, society is like a living organism, waking up, sleeping, and constantly circulating. Guan Yu looked at Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji finally turned around and said, "Guan Yu, I have a new suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Zhang Ji didn't want to dwell on the mistakes made by Guan Yu before, as long as Guan Yu could accept his current opinion, then he could not care about Guan Yu's mistakes before.

Guan Yu hesitated slightly, and wanted to speak, "You can speak first." But seeing Zhang Ji's eyes, with some eagerness, more or more confused, if he still has the same attitude as before, he may lose the support of this strategist, so do you stick to your own opinion, or do you listen to the other party completely without scruples?

The best choice is, of course, to listen to the other party's words, the so-called eating a trench and growing a wisdom, since Guan Yu has been hurt, of course he must choose to believe Zhang Ji, but Guan Yu still has concerns in his heart, Guan Yu is a person with a lot of doubts, he is very afraid that Zhang Ji has the idea of revenge in his heart, after all, he has lost Zhang Ji's face before, if Zhang Ji estimates to dig a pit to make himself jump, with his own intelligence, he will definitely not be able to compare to Zhang Ji as a strategist, so once he listens to Zhang Ji's opinion, will he be killed by Zhang Ji?

Guan Yu frowned, hesitated for a while, and saw that Zhang Ji was a little impatient, so he had to speak.

"Let's talk about it first. Guan Yu said.

Zhang Ji was a little disappointed, but still said: "Guan Yu, if you want to capture Black Iron City now, you must use tactics, and you can't attack the city directly." “

"I know this, I don't need to say it. Guan Yu said.

This time the lesson is really profound, but it also taught Guan Yu a truth, that is, you must think of a strategy to attack the city, and you can't do it brutely, and the consequence of brute force is to let yourself perish and consume your own strength.

Zhang Ji continued: "We have to find a way to get the defenders out of the city to meet the battle. “

"Oh?" Guan Yu showed an expression of interest, let the defenders go out of the city to face the battle? He actually considered this, but he had not yet formed a complete idea, Guan Yu said: "Actually, I have thought of this, but I don't know what method to use to get the defenders out?"

Zhang Ji said, "There are many methods, but they may not all be used, such as water attack, poison attack, smoke attack, deception, agitation, etc., as for the specific method, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation." “

"Isn't that troublesome, can I just try all of them?" Guan Yu said.

"But this will ......" Before Zhang Ji's voice fell, Guan Yu turned around and strode away, and said loudly: "Mr. Zhang Ji, I'm going, if you win this time, the credit will be shared with you!"

Zhang Ji was depressed, he originally wanted to analyze the enemy situation for Guan Yu, and he still needed to send troops over to reconnoiter before he could determine the final strategy, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to be a reckless man.

Zhang Ji picked up a piece of stationery and wrote on it.

"Guan Yu is stubborn, difficult to train, hypocritical and contrived, although the military is superb, but the intelligence is low, it is recommended to be appointed as a partial general who commands 10,000 soldiers and horses, and will never be promoted" folded the letterhead, and then wrote on the envelope Lu Bu himself, and then sealed it with fire paint, stuffed it into his sleeve and left the tent.

Outside, he found an ordinary soldier wearing cloth armor, and Zhang Ji said, "Dare to ask where the road is?"

The soldier said, "The road is under your feet!"

Zhang Ji couldn't help but smile, and then handed him the envelope.

The soldier took the envelope and hurried away.

This is a secret spy organization established by Sun Shangxiang with Lu Bu, responsible for delivering secret letters, monitoring generals and the like, in short, it is a dark category of work, which is unsightly.

Zhang Ji returned to the barracks, took a jar of wine and drank it, Guan Yu's barracks did not prohibit drinking, in ancient times soldiers, especially officers, drinking was very common, if you win the battle, everyone will not stop until you get drunk.

No one has yet recognized the disadvantages of drinking, after all, the Three Kingdoms have just opened, and they have not yet realized the disadvantages of drinking.
