Xu Chu's unreserved trust made Guo Jia very useful. He said: "Only with the right fit, with the odd victory, is enough." ”

Xu Chu had heard this famous quote from Sun Tzu's Art of War, but he didn't know much about the meaning of it, and he noticed that Guo Jia said that he won with qi (ji), not with qi (qi), which was obviously different from his previous understanding of this sentence. If you don't understand, you can't pretend to understand, so he humbly asked.

Guo Jia explained in detail, and Xu Chu understood that it turned out that 'zheng' meant 'zheng', not a positive means, and 'qi' meant 'qi (ji' or 'remaining soldiers', rather than winning by surprise. The original intention of winning with Qi is not to send all the troops at once during the battle, but to leave a part of it as a remnant of the army to hide, and use it at a critical time. To sum it up in three words, it is the 'method of dividing the battle'.

Xu Chu arched his hand and said: "Xu Chu has been taught." ”

Guo Jiaqian said with a smile: "So the lord can first take half of the soldiers to challenge, and when the fierce battle is in full swing, let the palace soldiers take the remaining soldiers to cut down trees and drag them away, and then the yellow sand will fly, which can become an illusion that most of the reinforcements are coming." The ignorant people of the yellow turban are determined to be in this plan. ”

Xu Chu followed the plan, brought nearly 100 shield sword soldiers in the team, and cooperated with more than 100 halberd soldiers to kill the yellow scarf outside Chaoyang Zhai City.

He himself held a small iron shield, also known as a 'hook set'. I have to say that the hook inlay is an eye-opening weapon for Xu Chu, it is mainly an iron shield, with a spike protruding in the middle, which is used to push and kill, and the upper and lower sides also extend out the iron hook used to hook the opponent's weapon.

It is lighter than the large shield popular in the Warring States period, does not affect the speed of infantry, and has both offense and defense, and is extremely lethal with the ring head knife. The only disadvantage is that the operation is too complicated, and it takes a long time to practice crochet setting well.

However, even if Xu Chu's sword and shield hand training time is not long, he still has the advantage of personal combat power against these yellow turbans. The 1,000 people sent by He Yi to resist Xu Chu were far less elite than the 2,000 people who were originally assigned to He Guang, and they were all a notch lower in terms of equipment and personnel.

Xu Chu did not ride a horse, but directed the soldiers to move forward slowly, and in order to create momentum, he also ordered the sword and shield hands to line up in two rows, and beat the iron shield rhythmically with ring knives when marching.

The Yellow Turban soldiers heard the sound before anyone saw it, and when the sound of swords and shields hitting each other gradually became clearer, they saw a neat army slowly approaching.

And most people have begun to feel weak in their hearts, and only a very small number of Yellow Turban veterans who have seen famous generals such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will snort from their noses: "What is this?" Lao Tzu experienced the bigger battles of the year. ”

Because he saw that Xu Chu and the others were not many in number, the thief general calmed down, boosted the morale of the yellow turbans, and prepared to meet the attack.

"Stop!" Xu Chu gave a loud order, and the troops immediately stopped. When the infantry is facing each other, the side that stands by will have a slight advantage of waiting for work, and the side that charges will suffer a small loss when it first comes into contact.

Xu Chu has this little capital under his hands, where is he willing to suffer. As soon as the officers and soldiers stopped, the Yellow Turban soldiers were at a loss. The thief thought that he could not weaken his momentum, so he gave the order to attack.

Xu Chu saw the Yellow Turban soldiers a hundred meters away shouting and rushing, and ordered left and right: "Pass the order, take me as a signal to wave the knife, otherwise stay put!" ”

The Yellow Turban soldiers were getting closer and closer, and when Xu Chu, who was standing in the front row of the line, could see the vegetable leaves stuck to the Yellow Turban's teeth, he waved his knife and roared: "Kill!" ”

The distance was only a few meters, and Xu Chu's sword and shield hand pushed the hook inlay forward, and the two sides made formal contact. As soon as the hand was fought, the power of the sword and shield hand was undoubtedly displayed, and the spear of the Yellow Turban was either hooked or blocked, and when the empty door of the chest was opened, the ring knife stabbed, and immediately fell to a piece. Later, the yellow scarf was mended, and it was pierced by the spear that jumped out of the diagonal time. The Yellow Turbans suffered heavy casualties, but they couldn't even break through the enemy formation.

The thief will see that the situation is not good, and send someone to report to He Yi, He Yi is furious: "Send another thousand people over, if you can't hold it, tell him to come to see him!" After speaking, He Yi looked up at the inner city wall of Yang Zhai, his eyes shrunk, and he said fiercely: "Siege!" ”

He couldn't wait, and he didn't have the heart to personally deal with the hundreds of people who were sneaking up on the rear. The Yellow Turban soldiers under his command rushed up one after another with the ladders, and this was the main battlefield that decided his fate.

At the head of the city, there were constantly smashing down wood and stones, as well as boiling hot oil, which from time to time poured down on the Yellow Turban soldiers who climbed the ladder. It didn't take long for the hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers in the first echelon to die.

He Yi is not distressed at all, let's die, the more you die, the better, as long as the people of Yingchuan can't eat enough for a day, his team will not disperse for a day. Someone will come.

He Yi didn't know how many soldiers there were in the inner city, but Huang Shao was making trouble in the south, and there would definitely be less than a thousand soldiers left, maybe only a few hundred. When they finish shooting arrows, throwing stones, and running out of hot oil, how can they prevent it?

He Yi's judgment was correct, Xun Yu, who was standing in the city, was worried about the rapid consumption of stones, arrows and hot oil.

Xun Yu suddenly said: "Yuan Chang! ”

Zhong Xuan was next to him to command the defense of the city, so he asked, "What is the matter with Wen Ruo?" ”

Xun Yu looked anxious, and said to Zhong Xuan: "Please take people to demolish some houses nearby, collect stones and wood, and transport them to the city!" ”

Zhong Miao thought for a while, "What if the people don't want to?" ”

"Then tear down the Xun Mansion first, and it should be no problem."

Zhong Xuan admired: "The garrison in the city will be entrusted to Wen Ruo." ”

……

……

The siege lasted for half a day, and the garrison at the head of the city showed no signs of weakening. He Yi didn't know what was going on inside, but if she continued to die like this, it would be a bit more than worth the loss. Replenishing the supply of troops, after all, is also a headache.

"Herald! Suspend the siege! ”

Under He Yi's order, both sides were able to breathe for a while. At this time, someone came to report that it was full of smoke and dust outside the city, and most of the officers and soldiers came to help, and the two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers had already died.

He Yi was surprised at first, and then said angrily: "I am waiting for a hurry, less than a day before and after, how can there be a large number of officers and soldiers to rescue, it must be a suspicious plan!" So he rushed to the outside of the city with his men and horses, but Xu Chu accepted it when he saw it, and he had already withdrawn without a trace.

"Little thief, dare to tease Ben Shuai like this!" He Yi was furious and scolded.

……

……

In a bamboo forest outside the city, Xu Chu, Guo Jia and others were sitting in a circle to discuss the follow-up arrangements.

"He Yi has the kung fu to take care of us, I think the siege has been suspended. What's next? Xu Chu asked, but his eyes secretly looked at Zhang Ying, and heard Gong Su say that Zhang Ying also followed his team and killed a yellow scarf with a sword.

Zhang Ying was embarrassed by him and turned her head......

But listening to Guo Jiayan: "The yellow scarf has been exhausted since last night, and it is all hanging in one breath. He Yi called off the offensive, and as soon as the Yellow Turban soldiers rested, they were extremely weak in a short period of time, and he was digging his own grave. It's a pity that we can't contact the inner city, otherwise we should join forces with the outside and fight together, and we can beat it back to the prototype in a battle. ”

Xu Chu was silent, and Gong Su stepped forward and suggested: "For the sake of safety, it is better to wait for the reinforcements of the Changshe to come, and work together to break it." ”

Guo Jia nodded, also in agreement. Xu Chu said: "No, when the afternoon arrives, we will launch an attack immediately." ”

Guo Jia cast a surprised look, and Xu Chu said: "I believe in Xun Wenruo, just like I believe in Fengxiao." ”
