At the beginning of September 251, Zhang Ying, the commander of Liu Xuan, took the lead in attacking the position, and Yan Baihu immediately sent repair troops first, and then ordered to go on an expedition, and the battle was about to break out.

It stands to reason that in this war, it cannot be said that Liu Xuan's troops can occupy an advantage, after all, the generals on Yan Baihu's side are better, and they occupy a favorable location, so they can quickly return to Huiji City for supplies, and there are also "positions" and "arrow towers" to assist, but the number of Liu Xuan's troops occupies a lot of advantages after all.

In general, both sides have a chance, and it can be regarded as a battle of half a catty, but as a result, it can be seen that from the very beginning of the fight, Liu Xuan's troops were completely inferior.

The most important factor is "stratagem".

The success rate of using "stratagem" largely depends on the intelligence value of the generals in the troops on both sides, and it is obvious that Zhang Ying, Zhenrong and other generals are all pure generals, and the intelligence value can be described as scum, even worse than Yan Yu and others.

There is no doubt that they must be tricked.

In fact, as soon as the war began, Yan Baihu immediately ordered his own troops to use a "disrupting" plan against Zhang Yingbu. And Zhang Ying really fell into a scheme, and the entire army fell into a "state of chaos".

You must know that "chaos" is a very tragic state, because once it falls into chaos, its troops not only cannot attack, but even lose their defensive ability, and when they are attacked by the enemy, they have no ability to resist and cannot cause any damage to the enemy.

In addition, Yan Baihu ordered Yan Yu to lead his halberd soldiers to use his first-order combat method "Bear Hand" on Zhang Yingbu, dragging his troops in the direction of Huiji City.

The purpose of this is to increase the attack power of the Yan Yu troops, after all, the attack power after using the tactics is much stronger than that of ordinary attacks; Second, it is to adjust the position of the troops, so that Zhang Yingbu can block between his "position" and the "arrow tower" to make room for Zhenrong and others.

Immediately afterwards, the Niu Jin troops, which were the main output, led by the spearmen, did not need to use any tactics, and directly used ordinary attacks to strike at Zhang Ying's troops.

In particular, Niu Jin's special skill is "Combo", and his troops have a 50% chance of being able to attack again after using a normal attack. The 1 in 2 chance is not small, and sure enough, after the Niu Jin troops attacked, this "combo" stunt was triggered.

attacked twice in a row, but the opponent had no power to fight back, so that Niu Jin's troops remained zero damage, and Yan Baihu's side could be said to have made a lot of money.

In addition, in order to maintain the "morale" of the troops in order to release more "stratagems", the 2,000 archers led by Quan and Hua Xin only used ordinary attacks to deal with Zhang Yingbu.

In addition, when Zhang Ying attacked the "Arrow Tower" before, he encountered the counterattack of the Arrow Tower, and the loss was not small, and when it came to Yan Baihu's round, the "Arrow Tower" would also carry out a round of strafing of the enemy troops within two squares around it, which also caused a lot of casualties.

In this way, by the time Yan Baihu's round of attack was completed, Zhang Ying's troops, which originally had 6,000 people, had only a little more than 3,000 left, which can be described as a heavy loss.

When Liu Xuan's other troops began to act, his three teams, Di Rong, Chen Heng, and Fan Neng, were blocked by the "position" and "arrow tower".

Perhaps Chen Heng's 5,000 archers were barely able to attack Yan Yu's halberd troops, but Yan Baihu had already prepared, and he had asked Yan Yu's troops to use the "bear hand" tactics before, also to consider their position, so that they stood behind the "arrow tower".

In addition, the attack range of the general archers is only two squares, so if Chen Heng's troops want to attack the Yan Yu Department, they must enter the attack range of the "Arrow Tower".

Of course, it is not impossible for them to consider a detour, but in that case, they will have to waste at least two rounds of offensive opportunities, which is equivalent to giving up rescuing Zhang Ying, and by then, Zhang Ying's troops will definitely have been completely annihilated.

In desperation, the people of Zhenrong chose to concentrate on attacking the "Arrow Tower", trying to destroy the "Arrow Tower" in two rounds.

This is not impossible, because the "Arrow Tower" is not better than the "position", its durability is half lower, even if there are Xu Gonggao's troops repairing, but if they are allowed to attack with all their strength, it will only take a round and a half at most to destroy the "Arrow Tower".

However, how could Yan Baihu let them get their wish, and it was only in the round of their attack on the "Arrow Tower", through counterattack, their Arrow Tower had already eliminated at least seven or eight hundred troops of the opponent, plus the next round of "strafing", it should not be a problem to harvest a total of 2,000 soldiers on the other side, it was already enough to earn.

And after returning to Yan Baihu's round, it was the same routine again, but it was a different person. Through the "disruptive" strategy of Huaxin's troops, Zhang Ying's troops once again fell into "chaos" very helplessly.

Yan Baihu's troops, on the other hand, changed their goals, and also changed their tactics, targeting the Rong Department and releasing the "false report" skill.

There is almost no doubt that the Rong Department listened to the "false report", and then turned around and retreated in the direction of Wu County, so that even if he came to his senses in the next round, he would have to waste another round of time to rush back to the battlefield.

In addition, Niu Jin's spearmen were not idle, and under the command of Yan Baihu, they used the second-order tactics of spearmen, "Spiral Spike", on Chen Heng's archers.

What is surprising is that it is probably Niu Jin's force value that is more than a grade higher than Chen Heng's, which led to a critical attack in his tactics, which not only eliminated nearly 1,000 archer troops, but also made it fall into a "state of chaos".

As for Yan Yu's troops, Yan Baihu also ordered them to change their attack targets and attack Chen Heng's troops with worse defensive attributes, intending to make them lose their combat effectiveness faster, or even directly annihilate them.

It was only through these twenty days, that is, two rounds, that is, the attack power of Liu Xuan's 20,000 army had been completely collapsed, but Yan Baihu's side had almost no losses, just a little less "morale value".

This made Yu Fu and Hua Xin, the two scholar-type strategists, amazed, such a result was unimaginable to them before, and at the same time, it also made them understand why Wang Lang was obviously superior in military strength at the beginning, but he was still destroyed by Yan Baihu.

At this time, Yan Baihu's image in their hearts has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even his loyalty has increased by several points because of this.

However, although Yan Baihu's side already has a great advantage on the battlefield, after all, the other party still has nearly 20,000 troops left, which cannot be solved in a short time.

In addition, after the "morale" of their troops begins to run low, they can no longer use "stratagem", and in addition, if they use stratagems against a local unit continuously, their success rate will also decrease.

In this way, when the time came to September, the war really entered the white-hot level.

And the "Arrow Tower" established by Yan Baihu before has also been destroyed by the opponent's fire, and the rest is hand-to-hand combat, and because of the previous strategy, the enemy troops have also retained a large number of "morale points", and they can use tactics almost without worry, on the other hand, Yan Baihu and them can only use "ordinary attacks".

Fortunately, at this time, the number of troops on Yan Baihu's side has an advantage, with a total of 12,200 main battle troops, and there are still a little more than 11,500 left, while Liu Xuan's troops, the number of soldiers who originally went out was 21,000, but now, only about 10,000 remained.

In particular, Zhang Yingbu and Chen Heng's archery troops, which were the main battle troops, were basically unable to form combat effectiveness due to their small number of troops, and every time they attacked, even if they used tactics, their own troops would suffer greater damage.

In this way, another round of fierce fighting, Zhang Ying's troops and Chen Heng's troops were already the first to be unable to hold on, and had to choose to retreat.

By the end of September, there was no suspense about the outcome on the battlefield, and the Rong and Fan Neng divisions were already powerless to resist, and then began to retreat.

"My lord, are we going to take advantage of the victory and pursue?" As a military advisor with the army, Yu Fu was in a pretty good mood at this time, and asked with a smile.

"There's no need to chase, the purpose of our expedition this time is to defend, since the other party has retreated, we don't have to make more trouble, it's better to go back to the city as soon as possible and develop the city as soon as possible."

"Then let Captain Yan Yu and them also withdraw their troops."

"Of course! Send someone to deliver your orders, and from now on, the whole army will return to the city. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

After this battle, Yu Tuo's loyalty has increased to more than 90, for Yan Baihu's words, especially on the battlefield, it is basically obedient, but he, as a military advisor, is a little unworthy of the name.

In early October 251, Yan Baihu returned to the court with a great victory, and was warmly welcomed by Wang Lang and other subordinates.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, Wang Lang, Wang Su and others were still skeptical about this war, and they were also very worried in their hearts, and they could not even complete the construction task with peace of mind.

It wasn't until the good news on the battlefield continued to come that Wang Lang and the others were relieved, and then they seized the time to develop the city, otherwise, they would have failed the soldiers who were desperately killing the enemy on the battlefield.

After experiencing this war, Yan Baihu also gained a lot, especially in his understanding of "strategy" and "tactics", compared with before, he understood it more thoroughly.

Whether it is "strategy" or "tactics", in this world, after all, it cannot be as easy to perform as in a game, and it needs to be implemented.

Among them, Yan Baihu has personally experienced the "false report" skill, and this time he has seen Yu flip to implement it, so he understands it better, first of all, through "meticulous work", that is, spies, to learn the detailed information of the opponent's enemy generals, and then choose his weaknesses, make people disguise, and take the risk to report false news.

If it is recognized, it is naturally a failure of the scheme, that is, the "resistance" in the game, and if it is not recognized, it is of course a success.

The "disruption" strategy is more complicated, in short, it is to send people to infiltrate the enemy's army, or issue wrong orders, or create some disturbance, in short, to completely mess up the opponent's troops.

As for the tactics, in fact, they rely on the changes in the "battle array" to achieve some special effects.

The halberd, that is, the evolved version of the shield soldier, its main role is to shield the flesh and disrupt the enemy's formation; The spearman is the main output and control; Archers, on the other hand, are long-range.

Special archer troops, through this war, Yan Baihu has a new understanding.

Previously, he had always believed that archers were the worst class, but now it seems that this view is obviously wrong, as long as they are used wisely, the role of archers is also very large.

In addition, Yan Baihu also has some of his own understanding of the formation of the overall army and the use of war buildings, but these still require him to take time to think about it in order to understand it, and for now, he can only rely on the experience gained in the game to command the troops to fight.
