After Xing Daorong was seriously injured and fell into a coma, he was trampled to death in the chaos of the army, of course, this bad news could not spread in the first place, not to mention that the war was fought in such a big melee situation, where did the attacking side still have the heart to care about the life and death of a rushing general.

Therefore, until about a quarter of an hour after Xing Daorong's death, the Jingnan coalition army was still attacking with all its strength with this breath, relying on the psychological advantage of their own people, and they were reckless for a while.

In front of the camp, Guan Yu deliberately set aside this hundred-step-wide slope, and soon the corpses piled up, and the two armies combined had at least more than a thousand corpses piled up there, as well as more stumps, broken arms, and wailing wounded.

However, if someone can calmly analyze it from God's perspective, they will find that the exchange ratio is terrifyingly high, and Zhang Xianjun's casualties are seven or eight times higher than that of the Han army!

Just in the initial engagement stage just now, Zhang Xian was designed to squeeze on a narrow front because he wanted to attack mainly, to meet the accumulation of thousands of strong crossbows, that kind of low and flat trajectory does not need to be aimed at all, as long as the enemy is dense enough, the target that does not hit the front row can also shoot the enemy in the gap behind, and each round can take at least hundreds of lives.

So just on the way up, the Jingnan coalition army paid an additional one or two thousand casualties.

In the follow-up, the elite Han soldiers who used swords and shields to form spear shield formations and cover layers of each other stabbed each other, and it was the kind of engagement form in which three or four times the number of people who were not dead could not even get close to each other.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour after the start of hand-to-hand combat that the sword and shield light infantry in the front row of the Jingnan coalition army were almost dead, and the Jingnan pikemen in the back row also began to enter the front line, and the exchange ratio was slightly better. But the terrain of the battlefield is still unfavorable for the attacker -

Guan Yujun's crossbowmen could not shoot in the front, for fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops, but they could still retreat to the two flanks of the wall, shoot cross-clamping, and focus on the back row. Although at this stage, the Jingnan army can also use bows and arrows to shoot against the wall, but the Han army has bunkers, and the advantage is not ordinary.

Plugging the meat on the narrow mouth, the side with low quality and many people can't play it at all.

Finally, the news of Xing Daorong's death in battle also spread to all fronts of the Jingnan Coalition Army. Even Zhang Xian and Jin Xuan, who supervised the battle in the back, also learned the bad news.

Although Jin Xuan didn't know about soldiers, he also felt that this battle couldn't be fought like this: "Zhang Fujun! The sword and shield soldiers of our Wuling soldiers are almost dead and wounded! It can't be done like this anymore. This terrain is too unfavorable for us, and we can't exert four or five times the number of troops!

Moreover, Guan Yu moved out of Iraq before the war and surrendered in the name of Liu Biao, the morale of our army was already low, and now Xing Daorong died in the chaos of the army. I'm afraid that if there is a slight change that is unfavorable to our army, the morale of the army will completely collapse! It's better to leave early! ”

Zhang Xian also had cold sweat on his face, knowing that he had reached the point of two and three exhaustion, if Guan Yu showed stronger tenacity and even took out the strategic reserve to push back, it might collapse at any time.

But Zhang Xian also knew that he could not withdraw his troops directly, which would only lead to greater chaos.

After all, he grew up drinking soup in the Star Battle of Sun Jianping District, and he has been fighting since the fifth year of Zhongping, and he still has a lot of experience in basic operations.

Otherwise, in the original history, Zhang Xian would not have been entangled with Liu Biaoxu and the snake for so many years before Liu Biao finally got it - you must know that the decisive battle between Liu Biao and Zhang Xian in history happened to occur during the Battle of Guandu, Liu Beike vigorously persuaded Liu Biao to lead the main force to backstab Cao Cao, but Liu Biao used the main force to deal with Zhang Xian, and finally pacified Zhang Xian in one go.

It can be seen that Zhang Xian can also be regarded as a heroic man who "can drag Liu Biao to intervene in the battle of Guandu".

He quickly observed the battle situation, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Command the rear army to change formation, play the banner, send heralds, let the follow-up spear and shield soldiers that were originally planned to be put into operation move to the left and right first, protect our archers, and move Su Dai's sword and shield soldiers to the Chinese army as a follow-up reserve!" ”

Jin Xuan was confused when he heard it next to him, and persuaded the group again and again: "Zhang Fujun, how can you attack again in such a situation?" You let the spear and shield soldiers of the lineage retreat, but let Su Fujun's sword and shield soldiers come forward, it is not to consume us and preserve your own strength! ”

"Shut up! Ignorant Puff! If only Guan Yu could think like you! Zhang Xian doesn't have to save face for Jin Xuan, after all, he is the absolute main force in today's battle, and Jin Xuan's men and horses have lost a lot, so the comparison between the two sides is even more disparity.

Su Dai and Jin Xuan dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but they had to accept Zhang Xian's dispatch, but what they didn't expect was that Zhang Xian really had two brushes, and after the spear and shield soldiers in his second and third formations moved away and retreated, and before Su Dai's sword and shield soldiers stepped forward, he suddenly issued a new order, asking Ming Jin, so that Su Dai's sword and shield soldiers didn't have to go anymore.

This is like when you go to a restaurant to eat in the future, there is still a fish-flavored shredded pork left, and you want to return the dish, but if you directly ask the waiter, "Is the fish-flavored shredded pork burned", the waiter will definitely say that it is already burning and cannot be returned.

At this time, you have to ask "If the fish-flavored shredded pork hasn't been burned, can you replace it with Longjing shrimp", then the waiter will answer "It's really not burned yet, you can change it" because Longjing shrimp is more expensive.

Then, you can immediately take advantage of this time difference and say, "Then the Longjing shrimp hasn't been burned yet, right?" I don't want it", so the dish was successfully returned.

If Zhang Xian directly asked the whole army to retreat, then the troops that rushed to the front would immediately turn into the broken rear, and the morale would definitely collapse, and once they fell into chaos and trampled on each other, they didn't know how high the losses would be.

But he put on a posture of "I still want to continue to attack", and the military music was always beating drums and cheering instead of ringing gold, so that the soldiers who were in the first formation did not worry about the follow-up reinforcements not coming up, and made them think that "the rear army is just a tactical adjustment to change the position and order", so that the front army can hold out until the last moment.

When the last dish of "Dongpo meat" on the table was about to be eaten, they heard that "the shredded fish-flavored pork is not coming, and the Longjing shrimp that has been changed for the fish-flavored shredded pork is not coming".

As for the scraps of Dongpo meat, it should be given to Guan Yu, if the army wants to retreat and disengage, it must always sell a few broken teammates.

"We were betrayed by Zhang Xian!" The one or two thousand Jingnan coalition soldiers who were blocking the gate of the camp woke up like a dream when they heard the sound of gold behind them and found that all the friendly troops were retreating frantically.

However, they were also very simple, and since they knew that they had played the role of Dongpo meat that was sold, they surrendered decisively.

"Don't kill us, we surrender!" One or two thousand men threw down their weapons in a matter of minutes, or scattered in all directions, or knelt on the spot and waited for the prisoners.

Guan Yujun took a good time to receive prisoners, but he also lost the opportunity to continue to chase Zhang Xian.

"General, this battle plan points the corpses, along the way our army shot and killed more than 2,000 enemy soldiers, 1,7800 people were killed in the battle at the camp gate, our army killed more than 400 people at the camp gate, and more than 200 people were killed in the exchange of fire with the enemy. In the end, 1,500 surrendered soldiers were captured. The enemy's wounded cannot be counted, and our army has arranged medical treatment for seven or eight hundred light and serious wounded. ”

With the end of the cleaning of the battlefield, Xu Huang counted the losses and results.

Zhang Xian's broken tail survived, so that the defensive counterattack reserve team prepared by Guan Yu did not play any role, Gan Ning Zhou Tai was basically idle there, and Xu Huang did all the hard work today.

"This Zhang Xian is actually quite knowledgeable, and when he retreated, he also knew that he would break his tail to survive, which caused our army to lose the opportunity to cover up and kill the defeated enemy." Guan Yu's expression was solemn, and he pondered.

As we all know, in a large-scale decisive battle, the link that leads to the most casualties and captures on one side is the covering and killing link after the total collapse, and the frontal death battle may collapse with one or two casualties, and there is no chance to kill more, but it is possible to annihilate half or more of the enemy army during the pursuit, and most of them are captured rather than killed, and they can also replenish their own troops.

Now calculated as 35,000 people in the Jingnan coalition army, there are only 3,000 or 4,000 corpses left behind by the battle, plus 5,000 prisoners, and 5,000 people who have fled or lost their combat effectiveness, that is, there are still 25,000 soldiers.

Even if Guan Yu is treated in time, even if he still has 4,000 soldiers, plus some prisoners can be transformed, the situation still hasn't improved.

In the final analysis, there are still too few troops, and the game is too ruthless to go deep behind enemy lines. In order to seduce the enemy to cross your tower, you can only use a small number of troops to make a game, otherwise the enemy will turtle back. The territory of Wuling and Lingling is vast, and if you really disgust you, how long will it take to calm down.

Guan Yu's heart became more and more eager to win: "No! Now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhang Xian sent thousands of miles to reinforce Jinxuan and Su Dai, and our army can still wait for work. If he is allowed to flee back, he doesn't know how long and what month he will be able to kill Zhang Xian. Our army will not be able to occupy Lingling this time, but at least we will kill Zhang Xian! ”

Guan Yu knew that Zhang Xian's level was much stronger than Jin Xuan's poetry and book heirloom who didn't know how to fight.

Therefore, he immediately commanded: "Gan Ning Zhou Tai! (When the subordinate and subordinate point generals, they still have to shout the name and not the word, otherwise it will not be formal)

"The last general!"

Guan Yu: "Do you have any confidence, take 3,000 Danyang soldiers tonight and go to the enemy's camp in Sheshan to rob the village!" I know that today, your reserves have preserved their physical strength well, and the hard battles and hard battles are all fought by Komeito. Although the enemy still has more than 20,000 people to fight, they will divide their troops to defend the county seat of Yiling, and they will not gather in one place.

Moreover, all the units of the Jingnan Army have all trekked to besiege today, and those tens of thousands of people should have a great physical exertion. Let our robbers take a break for half an afternoon now, and when we leave the camp in the middle of the night, we will definitely win a complete victory!" Let Gongming lead the tired and wounded soldiers to guard the camp, oh personally take you into battle! ”

Gan Ning said excitedly: "Obey!" The last general, please be the vanguard! ”

Zhou Tai was a little cautious: "The enemy army has just retreated, will it be guarded?" ”

Guan Yu brushed his hair and asked, "Do you think that someone took 3,000 people to rob 20,000 people?" What's more, Zhang Xian had only been here for two or three days when he arrived, and he had mainly focused on letting the soldiers recover their physical strength, so he would definitely not build the antler pit strictly, and the defense of the camp could not be compared with our army. ”

Zhou Tai: "In this case, the last general should contribute to himself." ”
