Chapter 869: Sacrifice
How many generals did Yuan Shu bring in this battle?
Headed by Sun Jian, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici, the number one general in the row has a full number of hands.
Zhang Ren, Pang De, Ma Dai, Yan Xing; Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao; Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Chen Wu, Ling Cao; Yu Ban, Meng Hu, Wu Tumeng, Pan Zhang.
This does not include generals such as Hua Xiong and Wei Yan who fought alone around Yuan Shu.
Each of these people is no worse than the generals under Yuan Shao's command, except for the four court pillars in Hebei.
This is Sun Jian and Yuan Shu's greatest confidence.
"Our army is fierce, even if it is equipped with the ability to reach the sky, this battle will definitely be defeated." Sun Jian said in a firm tone.
Yuan Shu nodded approvingly: "If such a luxurious lineup can lose again, I and you will jump into the Yellow River together and commit suicide." I want a big victory, not just a victory. ”
Although he was calculated by the trial and trapped, Sun Jian also figured out the bottom of the trial.
The Xuanwu Twin Array that was reviewed was indeed a powerful anomaly, greatly improving Zhao Jun's defense, endurance, and even recovery. Sun Jian could clearly perceive the impasse encountered by the charging Cheng Pu and the others.
In the field, the attack of your own troops seemed to be extremely fierce and the results were remarkable, but in fact they did not advance much. Such a fierce attack on his side was like hitting a sponge, and he unconsciously fell into it, and the progress of the charge was gradually slowed down, or even delayed, and then he was overwhelmed by the endless Zhao army. The defense of the Zhao army was completely like the waves of the sea, seemingly weak, but it was continuous and progressive, making it difficult for the army to extricate itself.
Except for the fact that the elephant horse was in a state of momentum when it came out of the field just now, which made the army advance quickly for a long distance, until now the forward army has not advanced much. On the contrary, in terms of troops, a lot was consumed by the opponent with a soft knife.
"Overcoming rigidity with softness, Zhao Jun's resistance seems weak, but in fact it is as unfathomable as the sea. The purpose of the trial is very clear, that is, to rely on the Xuanwu double formation and the superiority in troops. For this reason, he did not hesitate to expose all the plans of fire attack to block the impact of our army's war elephants, so as to maintain the stability of the military formation. Guo Jia hit the nail on the head.
"This means of defense is completely based on human lives for victory, and if we can't break through their military formation with thunder, then we will face a tragic tug-of-war." Jia Xu said.
"Moreover, until now, except for Yan Liangwen and Chou, who led the cavalry to deal with our army's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, we have not met a single general of the Zhao army, nor have we met a more elite Zhao soldier, most of them are fish belly. Although we killed and wounded tens of thousands of Zhao troops and played a battle loss ratio of more than 1:5, in fact, we had no gain at all. These are just bait for the trial to be put out to send them to death. Xun Yu said.
"The arrangement of the trial is perfect, but unfortunately, the strength of our two sides is too different." Sun Jian said indifferently: "If it is really a sea, it is indeed difficult for me to turn it." But this is just a small lake, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to make a fuss with so many elite soldiers and raptors crossing the river. ”
Sun Jian is well versed in the art of war, and understands that in the face of such an arrangement of the trial, it is the next strategy to take a strong attack, which is exactly what the other party wants. But he still attacked, and not a little, but from all sides, because he believed in his own combat power, and he understood how terrifying his generals were.
Too many good generals are sometimes a happy annoyance. If you attack a little, the ability of these good generals will not be able to be displayed at all, but it is better to spread them out to liberate their combat power more completely.
Several top generals, more than 20 first-class generals, nearly 400,000 elites. Once this combat force is completely liberated, the Zhao army in front of him will not be enough to fight at all, and it will be almost the same to double the number of people.
With Sun Jian's order, all the generals of the Chu army became excited, and they each led their own troops and horses to rush towards the positions that had already been arranged.
For a while, I saw that around the huge circle formation formed by the Zhao army, several large armies were flying like dragons, and more than 20 kinds of legion talents with different functions were blooming together, which was not spectacular.
Zhao Junzhongjun, Xianbei and the others looked at the enemies in all directions, as well as the large number of legion talents, and the clouds of different colors, and only felt cold in their hearts.
"Among the Chu army, are there really so many good generals?" The judge's eyes were blank, and he muttered in his mouth.
At this moment, he deeply felt the gap between the two sides, the gap like a chasm.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed this despair and powerlessness in his heart, looked at the generals who were ready to attack with a solemn face, and shouted softly: "Beat the drums, go out to the army!" ”
The strategy of luring the enemy and the strategy of exhausting the army have been successful, and the trial and rationing have made a good start for the Zhao army, but the war has reached such a scale, and in the case that some natural disasters cannot be used or the other party does not make fatal mistakes, it will ultimately depend on the hard power of both sides. He has done almost everything to the extreme, he has done his best, and the rest can only be left to the fate of heaven.
With the sound of drums, many generals under Yuan Shao's command led the people of their headquarters, aimed at their opponents, and met them. All of them are ready to sacrifice because they are on a path of no return.
Seeing these familiar figures go away, the judge couldn't help but close his eyes, and said in a pale tone: "This is an unfair battle. ”
"War is never fair. Unscrupulous means, the winner is king. Xun Chen also sighed, looking at these heroic backs.
"For the sake of the overall situation, I can only stand up to them." The judge's tone trembled slightly.
"You're not sorry for them, you've done your best. It's their own choice, and they're not doing it for you, but for Your Majesty. Xun Chen comforted the judge.
How can people be ruthless? The trial is just a mortal fetus in the flesh, how can it really be ruthless and sexual.
's loyalty to Yuan Shao made the judge force himself to become cold-blooded. But at this moment when he personally sent his comrades who got along day and night to a point of no return, the judge's heart was filled with endless sadness and guilt.
In order to win, the Xuanwu Formation must be maintained, and no army along the way can be broken. However, these more than 20 enemy armies are all elite, and their generals are all first-class in the world, and each army has the strength to break through the military formation, so how easy is it to stop it?
In addition to the four court pillars of Hebei, there are only a handful of generals under Yuan Shao who can be compared with these generals, and there are no more than one palm. And what about the rest?
It's very simple, the old way, fill it with human life.
This battle is all about this, using human lives to fill the gap.
More than 20 elite legions had to disperse their own defensive focus. But in this way, their own soldiers could not stop these extremely brave generals at all.
The lives of ordinary soldiers can't fill the gap, so use the lives of generals to fill it. Regardless of the entanglement of life and death, use your life to drag each other.
In this battle, the trial is paving the way with blood.
