Chapter 64: Escape is also a kind of technical work (II)
(Thanks to the book friend "Holy Spirit Flying Feather" children's shoes for rewarding and urging support, the first update~)
On the battlefield, the situation changed abruptly, or abruptly, it was not accurate, because there had been some premonitions, and it seemed more like a natural thing, of course, this was on the side of the coalition forces.
On Dong Zhuojun's side, in fact, only Li Ru, Lu Bu and some high-level generals and decision-makers know what the reason is implied.
It was at this time that the side of the defenders of the Tiger Prison finally began to appear to obviously avoid the enemy's cowardice, which was unimaginable for the brave and courageous Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army in the past, but if it was combined with the physical and mental torture they had talked about these days, it seemed that it was not incomprehensible.
And in this way, the most direct result is that for the first time in the coalition army, a regular squad appeared and all the members of the team pounced on the tiger prison, and the successors were also countless, and there were constantly complete teams rushing up, because the tiger prison was closed now, not to mention attacking them, even organizing an effective defense was a problem.
Fundamentally speaking, the Tiger Prison Pass is actually a pass, a military fortress, after passing the outer wall, there are several successive barriers, but they are already powerless to prevent the large-scale invasion of the coalition forces, and there is no geographical convenience of streets and alleys, let alone residents, once the Tiger Prison defenders are driven down from the pass, the rest can only retreat again and again, until there is no way to retreat.
To run away is a gibberish!
In a war, the defeated side must flee in chaos, if it is still very orderly, it is obviously a retreat rather than an escape, and chaos to a certain extent, it is a rout, a fiasco.
Therefore, Li Ru and Lu Bu's design was to deliberately let the coalition army attack when they had fought to a certain extent, and when the losses of Dong Zhuojun were getting bigger and bigger, they consciously but covertly let the coalition army attack, and then caused the already panicked Dong Zhuojun to flee, and the chaos of the entire army; And if you don't really mess up and escape, then there must be military people in the coalition army, maybe you can see something.
For example, Cao Cao, if he finds a flaw and no longer jumps into the trap they set, then all the previous efforts will be ineffective, and all those sacrifices will be in vain.
So what kind of escape can really achieve such a chaotic effect?
I have only heard of an invincible army in the world, where can I find an army composed of a group of Oscar winners? Therefore, if you want the coalition forces to really think that they are breaking up and escaping, there is only one way, that is, to really defeat, or create the effect of defeating the army, for example, the commander is gone, the handsome flag is down, etc., naturally, even the elite of these Xiliang troops will have a sharp morale drop, and then a few random charges by the enemy may be scattered and fall into the system, and more importantly, after making this decision, they must make psychological preparations for huge losses.
From a strategic point of view, if the loss of those soldiers can really have the effect of confusing the enemy, and then calculate that they finally win this war, then they are not sacrificed in vain, but this itself has a lot of uncertainties, where is it possible to really let one of the parties play between applause, in this case, even Li Ru felt uneasy, it is really not easy to make this decision, the price paid is too great, so big that even him, Once you fail, you will definitely not be able to bear it, and even if you succeed, you will inevitably take the initiative to ask for sin.
And now is the right time, and it is indeed they themselves who began to single-handedly promote the subsequent rout of Dong Zhuojun!
If there are still doubts about the coalition at the beginning, then with the passage of time, more and more coalition soldiers rushed forward and overturned Dong Zhuojun, and Dong Zhuojun's retreat became more and more intense and obvious, and in the end it became a situation where the generals could not command the soldiers, and the soldiers could not follow the generals, and the separation of the soldiers was a very terrible situation, because most ordinary soldiers, even the most elite ones, would become blind if they lost their command on the battlefield, especially Dong Zhuojun, who was inferior to the overall strength of the coalition army in addition to relying on the danger of the tiger passNow that there is no reliance, we can only rely on excellent command and coordination, but there is a loophole in this link.
And the most incredible thing is that Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and other generals of the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army, who should have stood up at this time, disappeared one by one. …,
In the coalition here, because of this point has also caused a lot of controversy, although seeing that the momentum of the coalition is now very good, Dong Zhuojun has no power to turn the tables, more and more of their own soldiers have poured into the Tiger Prison Pass, which has also greatly increased their confidence, but there is no big mistake in being careful, especially the confrontation with Dong Zhuojun for so many days, the other party's response makes them feel their strength, especially Yuan Shao and others know more, according to the news they got, this time it is Dong Zhuo's first strategist, very powerful.
It's just that during this period of time, for the coalition forces, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass is not smooth, and it is a huge test for military rations, but they are not good at detouring, this is not a matter of saving face, but the detour consumes time and energy, not to mention, it will be a heavy blow to morale, Tiger Prison Pass is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, which makes people unable to pull it out and is extremely uncomfortable.
So at this moment, when the dawn of victory finally appeared in the Tiger Prison Pass, most people's most direct reaction was to feel relieved in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show even a trace of abnormal thoughts, for fear that these hardships were all in vain, and sometimes it was more sad to not be able to face reality than to succumb to reality.
But some people expressed suspicion that Cao Cao was one of them, but when he proposed it to Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao was stunned at first, and after some arguments, he suddenly smiled at everyone and said: "You don't need to worry, I'm afraid this enemy army is really going to retreat......
"Oh, what do you mean by this?" On the other side, Gongsun Chan immediately stood up and asked after bowing.
Yuan Shao sometimes seems to be a little arrogant, but he is very careful and cautious many times, at least he is not as large as the power that later played in the four states in history, he is still the sober and capable Yuan Benchu, everyone only thinks that he has the same secret tricks as when he was in Xingyang before.
Yuan Shao just smiled mysteriously, and didn't say what he meant to let everyone share; And at this time, there was movement from the Tiger Prison Pass:
"The thief of the country, the Han Dynasty, mighty, mighty, mighty......"
At this moment, the tiger prison was closed, and the coalition army that rushed up broke out with a shocking shout, and the temporary Han army that represented the Dong coalition army was red on a black background - Liu Xiu was pushed to the national color as yellow because of the yin and yang of the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty and Tukeshui, but Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Uprising and always felt that he was the black emperor and advocated black, but since Liu Xiu, the Eastern Han Dynasty advocated red with fire virtue, so at this time it should be the national color of red, and there is a tradition of black symbolizing majesty in the army, so it is a red background and black edge - the military flag is planted at the border of the Tiger Prison Pass, It means that this difficult bone, in their hard work for more than a month (almost from April of the first year of Chuping to the end of May now), has been attacking non-stop, almost with the blood, sweat and lives of their colleagues, and finally achieved success.
And from this moment on, the last barrier to Luoyang was opened, and before Luoyang, the coalition forces were almost unhindered......
