Chapter 251: Convincing
"What's so embarrassing about that? Our army defeated the enemy with 3,000 troops with 1,000 troops, and there were almost no casualties. Such an impressive record, in my Tang Sheng's opinion, let alone three days, even if it is ten or eight years, it is not an exaggeration! ”
After shrugging his shoulders disappreciably, Tang Sheng's gaze suddenly stopped on a black iron shield at Zhang Liao's feet, and he saw that he had a suspicious expression, and his voice changed
"Huh? I said, Brother Wen Yuan, I remember that your weapon is not a crescent halberd? Why did you bring a shield today? ”
"Oh, you're talking about this......"
Seeing that the other party asked about this, Zhang Liao picked up the shield from the ground, and replied with a smile while caressing it lovingly
"This is the iron shield that I asked Brother Zuo to build especially for me. Hehe, it just came out this morning, and I'm going to wait to go to the school to practice my hands. ”
"Huh? You asked Brother Zuo Feng to give you a shield? Hearing this, Tang Sheng was even more confused
"Didn't I remember that you had always been against the use of shields? Say what...... The strongest weapon in the world is the halberd, and it is a waste to make a shield out of fine iron. Why did you suddenly change your mind now? ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw that Zhang Liao's face immediately flashed with a faint red light.
As early as a few months ago, Zhang Liao did say something similar, because he didn't understand the power of the Black Iron Shield Array at that time.
But after this battle, his view of the shield array has changed drastically.
Not only recognition, but even some admiration!
Therefore, he asked Zuo Feng to also help him fight a black iron shield, ready to take time to practice.
At this moment, hearing Tang Sheng mention this matter again, Zhang Liao's face immediately showed an embarrassed smile
"Hehe, that's, that's, that's my old opinion, it's very immature, it's not counting. Or is the master right, the shield array is indeed very strong, much stronger than a single halberd array and archer array. Not only is it offensive and acceptable, but it has almost no weak points. I'm going to practice more in the future! ”
Previously, when discussing what kind of weapons to build, there were different opinions in the Huaxing army.
Some people want to make halberds, some people want to make spears, and some people propose to make bows and arrows...... But in the end, Huaxing rejected it and asked Zuo Feng to make every effort to build a shield.
In this regard, although everyone didn't say anything, they somewhat disagreed with it in their hearts.
thinks that Huaxing's decision is too conservative, and it will definitely suffer if it really fights.
Until today's battle, when everyone witnessed the power of this array, no one in the Huaxing army had doubts. For this set of black iron shield arrays designed by Huaxing, everyone has been convinced.
"What General Zhang said is extremely true!"
Hearing Zhang Liao's praise, Wei Kuo, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't help it, and said with excitement on his face
"The reason why our army was able to achieve victory was that the Black Iron Shield Formation was indeed indispensable, it was definitely the strongest formation I had ever seen! However, in the eyes of the last general, in addition to the shield array, there is another point that is also very important. ”
"Oh? What is it? Zhang Liao said curiously.
"That's the exquisite tactics arranged by General Hua!"
Although Wei Kuo's words are a bit suspicious, after thinking about it, the actual situation is indeed the case.
Without Huaxing's exquisite tactics, relying only on a black iron shield array, it would be impossible for the Huaxing army to win a complete victory.
In fact, as early as the day when Huaxing proposed a fair showdown with the Youzhou Army, he had already roughly thought of tactics.
He knew that although the other party had promised him a fair duel, for the sake of the final victory, Guan Yu would definitely set up an ambush to ambush him.
Therefore, at noon that day, Huaxing ordered all the scout team to go out, and be sure to find out the enemy's movements before the army set off.
The scout team led by Li Ang did not disappoint Huaxing.
After a day and a night of surveillance, they grasped the enemy's movements for the first time, and reported the matter to Huaxing before setting off the next day.
After grasping the enemy's intelligence, Huaxing quickly formulated the final strategy.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat the enemy army directly with only one thousand soldiers of his own.
Even with the support of a powerful shield array, with twice the strength of his own, he was not 100% sure that he would be able to defeat the enemy in a hard-to-face situation.
So, in order to win, he also needs to use some external resources.
At this moment, the most convenient resource to use is the trap array located not far from the city gate.
Therefore, as soon as Hua Xing entered the battlefield, he fought with Guan Yu for his acting skills
At the beginning, the first was a strong response with a shield array, and the whole army attacked in a big way;
Later, as soon as the ambush appeared, he pretended to be invincible, and the troops took the initiative to withdraw to the city in five ways, giving people the feeling that they wanted to flee back to the village.
Guan and Zhang hated Huaxing to the core, so they wouldn't let Huaxing escape easily, so they chased after him without thinking about it.
As a result, in less than half a pillar of incense, they fell into the trap one after another......
"Hmmm! Wei Hujun is reasonable, this victory is indeed inseparable from the general's clever plan, General Hua is really both civil and military! Under the influence of Wei Kuo, Tang Sheng couldn't help but praise.
Seeing that Wei and Tang were both praising Huaxing, Zhang Liao was not far behind, and opened his mouth to say
"Of course! The master is a person who knows Qimen Dunjia, and it is not easy to get a few small traps? When encountering an opponent like the master today, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can only consider themselves unlucky! ”
"Alright, alright! I really don't see it on weekdays, but you guys are doing a lot of kung fu, but you have raced one by one! ”
After shaking his head angrily, he listened to Huaxing's voice and asked everyone about the situation of prisoners of war
"By the way, how was the situation in the POW zone these two days? Are there any surprises? ”
Hearing Huaxing ask about this, Zhang Liao immediately put away his smile and replied truthfully
"Nothing special, these guys are pretty honest. If you want to talk about accidents, it is that yesterday two more wounded people died and were carried out of the prison area......"
Although it was equipped with Lang Zhong and herbs were also transferred, it didn't have much effect on those soldiers who were too injured, and Huaxing would hear the news of someone passing away almost every day.
"Alas! Two more ......"
After shaking his head regretfully, he heard Huaxing ask again
"Then Guan and Zhang, what is their situation now?"
"You said they......" Speaking of these two guys, Zhang Liao couldn't help but have a smile on his face
"The man surnamed Zhang is an anxious man, who screams in prison every day. When he was full, he wanted to find someone to compete, and the soldiers who lived around him were all scared by him. Now when they see him come out, everyone is pretending to be asleep, and no one wants to fight with him. ”
"Oh? It's all locked up in a prison area, and you can still fight like this? Hehe, this Zhang Fei is really ......" After shaking his head and smiling, he listened to Huaxing again
"What about Guan Yu?"
"This surname is different, this person doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he likes to sit there with a book and read it when he has nothing to do. Although he couldn't see the title, the pages were so old that it felt like it had been turned hundreds of times, but he could still read it. This kind of person is really rare! ”
