755. There is an obvious gap in combat effectiveness
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are famous generals through the ages, and they often take the lead on the battlefield, thus leading the troops to tear apart the killing formations composed of Zhu Wei's soldiers everywhere.
The ordinary soldiers of Zhu Weijun were really difficult to resist them, and the battlefield killing formation originally formed by a group of soldiers was easily torn apart like shredded paper under the impact of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's soldiers, and they couldn't resist their rush at all.
It can be said that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have changed several changes in the battle situation, and every time when Yuan Tan and Zang Ba's army was beaten by Zhu Weijun and retreated, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed over like a firefighting team, thus changing the battlefield situation, redeeming the defeat of Yuan Tan and Zang Ba's army, and letting the battle continue to fall into a stalemate.
Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led too few Liu Beijun after all, so even if the two of them were invincible on the battlefield, their soldiers still couldn't keep up with their pace.
At the same time, no matter how strong Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's force was, they did not dare to face the siege of hundreds of soldiers of Zhu Weijun alone, so gradually as Liu Bei's soldiers behind them decreased, they could only adopt conservative tactics.
Later, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei began to target the generals who commanded the battle in Zhu Wei's army on the battlefield, hoping to make Zhu Weijun lose his command by killing them, thus affecting the overall change in the battle situation.
But the three generals Chen Wu, Bao Long, and Chen Ying on Zhu Weijun's side had already seen the terrifying strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the battlefield, and naturally they would not let them get close to him.
There were still many sword and shield guards left around them, and most of the crossbowmen in the Zhu Guard's army followed them, following their command to shoot the enemy's gathered formation.
So they didn't give Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a chance to kill them at all, and when they saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's attack, they first let the sword and shield hand in front, and then let the crossbow archers snipe at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together, so the dense crossbow arrows forced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to retreat, but they failed to show their strength to fight for a thousand.
No matter how strong Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts are, there are too few soldiers of Liu Bei behind them, and the two of them alone will not be able to recover the disadvantage of Yuan Tan and Zang Ba's soldiers with insufficient combat effectiveness, nor can they completely change the situation on the entire battlefield.
At the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not iron men after all, and with the decline of their physical strength, they naturally have no courage to rescue Yuan Tanjun and Zang Bajun's defeat.
What's more, Zhu Weijun also has a special thunderbolt palm thunder thrower, hidden in the attacking army formation, and will throw this special weapon at any time.
This kind of method like thunder and thunder in the sky made the soldiers of Yuan Tan and Zang Ba really never encounter it, and naturally made them even more frightened.
Therefore, the soldiers of Yuan Tan and Zang Ba were gradually repulsed, especially the soldiers led by Lu Weihuang in Yuan Tan's army had already been defeated once, although they saved the rout with the help of the follow-up troops, and turned over again under the organization of Lu Weihuang to counterattack, but after all, they lost a little confidence.
Therefore, as the war continued, this part of Yuan Tan's army was soon beaten by Zhu Weijun and lost its fighting spirit, and began to rout again, which even led the other newly raised Yuan Tan army and Zang Ba's Taishan thief army, and began to retreat together.
As a result, the war was stalemate for more than an hour, and finally came to an end.
On the whole, Zhu Weijun overwhelmed Yuan Tanjun and Zang Bajun, completely controlled the situation on the battlefield, and began to chase and kill the defeated Yuan Tan Army and Zang Bajun.
At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that the situation was not good, so they had already led their troops to withdraw to the city of Suqiu, but they prepared the possibility of dealing with the direct attack of Zhu Wei's army in the city.
As for Yuan Tanjun and Zang Bajun, they all withdrew to the front of the city of Juqiu, but so many soldiers and horses naturally couldn't hide in the city, so most of them also walked around the city, under the cover of Liu Beijun on the city wall, blocking the pursuit of Zhu Weijun.
Tai Shici, who was located in the rear of Zhu Wei's army, saw that the situation in front had become like this, but he had no plan to capture the city of Juqiu in one fell swoop today, so he also withdrew his troops in the rear, which was considered to be the end of today's war.
This battle completely played the momentum of Zhu Weijun's divine arrow battalion, and also played a mighty one.
Yuan Tan's Qingzhou Army and Zang Ba's Taishan Thief Army were not Zhu Weijun's opponents on the frontal battlefield, so the next three coalition armies of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei were estimated to be able to only use defensive tactics, relying on the defensive advantages of the city and the camp to counter the strong combat power of Zhu Weijun.
Not to mention that Zhu Weijun withdrew to the camp with high morale, but only that Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei gathered their troops and horses as Zhu Weijun took the initiative to retreat, but found that their side lost at least six or seven thousand troops in this battle.
Among them, Yuan Tan's army suffered the most losses, with nearly 4,000 soldiers killed and wounded in battle, while Zang Ba's army lost no less than 2,000 soldiers, accounting for about one-fifth of their total strength.
As for Liu Bei's side, he only lost a few hundred soldiers, but Liu Bei's troops in this battle were not many, so the losses accounted for more than a quarter of the troops that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei brought to the battlefield.
After this battle, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao from Qingzhou, completely lost his arrogance, truly realized the strength of Zhu Weijun, and no longer had the intention of continuing to attack Xuzhou.
After the war, Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei held a meeting in the city of Juguan to discuss how to proceed in the next war.
In the face of the strong combat power shown by Zhu Weijun, they all didn't know what to do, they couldn't beat it hard, but they couldn't let Zhu Weijun capture Taishan County so easily.
For a while, Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei were sitting in a hall in the city, and they didn't know how to speak.
"The eldest prince, General Zang, today's battle, it can be seen that the combat power of the soldiers and horses of the Tai Shi Ci Department is indeed extraordinary, if he Tai Shi Ci leads the troops to attack the Fu Qiu Ju, prepare, since the retreat of Langya County to this point, the army has been lost most of the troops, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist at that time!"
In the end, Liu Bei had to speak first, after all, now the Suqiu Ju he was stationed in was at the forefront of the battlefield, and Zhu Weijun's next step would definitely be to attack the Suqiu Ju, so Liu Bei couldn't help but face up to this situation.
But Liu Bei only had about 5,000 troops left, of which the main elite was less than 2,000, and Liu Bei really didn't have confidence that he could use this small city to resist the attack of Zhu Wei's army.
"The eldest prince, can you send some more soldiers and horses from Qingzhou, the soldiers and horses of a certain family, the combat power is also unbearable, today's battle, the loss is really a lot, but I am afraid it will be difficult to last!"
Zang Ba also complained to Yuan Tan, he also saw the strength of Zhu Weijun in today's battle, he was secretly glad that he had withdrawn early when he was in Xuzhou, otherwise he would have been blocked by Zhu Weijun at that time, I am afraid that he would have already lost his troops.
Of course, now that Yuan Tan represents Yuan Shao, the general to whom Zang Ba and Liu Bei are attached, they can naturally cry poverty to Yuan Tan, anyway, they put the problem in the hands of Yuan Tan.
Who let this big battle start because of Yuan Tan's side, but I didn't expect that they had already been smashed back by someone else's fist before they hit someone else's house, and it seemed that they couldn't beat others.
Zang Ba also has some grievances in his heart, your Yuan family is in the four northern states, isn't it strong, why is it that you are fighting Zhu Weijun head-on today, and you are not an opponent at all.
Knowing this, what qualifications do you have to think about attacking Xuzhou, looking at the current posture, it is clear that you want to prevent others from attacking, but how to block other people's attacks is a problem......
