Chapter 1239 chess difference
When Liu Bei chose this terrain as his position, he picked up a dirt slope for himself and Tuo Yi as the central army. One high and one low, six or seven hundred steps apart. The one high is in the north, leaving it for himself, and the one low is in the south, leaving it for Kuo Yi.
Standing on the top of the slope, he could see the entire battlefield, including Qu Yi's central army. From the time when Zhang He chased Zhao Yun to the battlefield, Liu Bei's attention was mostly here, even if Qu Yi sent someone to attack his central army. The two earth slopes were too far away, and he could not see Qu Yi clearly, or even recognize the general flag, and could only vaguely see the general flag moving. When Zhang He's general flag moved to the east, he did not know which general was sent, but he could roughly guess the level of this general from the shape of the general flag, and how many people there were. More importantly, he guessed that Qu Yi was going to deal with Guan Yu on the left wing.
The left wing where Guan Yu was located was under tremendous pressure. Tuo Yi attacked seven times in a row, one more fierce and one more pressing, and Guan Yu was able to persist until now, which was much greater than Liu Bei's expectations. On the one hand, this is due to the rigorous training for more than half a year, and on the other hand, it is due to Guan Yu's personal attack, not only his courage, but also his compassion for the soldiers.
Perhaps because of his different backgrounds, Guan Yu was most concerned about the soldiers among the generals. Unlike his straits and straits for scholars, he treated his soldiers like his children. In this regard, he was very similar to Sun Ce, and even better than him. Sun Ce was also sympathetic to the soldiers, but he only called the soldiers from Wuhui as their children, but Guan Yu treated these soldiers from Youzhou like their children, not only caring about them, but also protecting their shortcomings. For this reason, Zhang Fei had conflicts with him and Zhang Fei.
Therefore, his soldiers were willing to work hard when training and fought. Every time they were reviewing, they were almost the same as trying their best. If they didn't win the championship, they would be like a dead person. They didn't look good when they saw anyone, until they won the championship next time.
One 10-year-old school, one 1-month reading, one 1-month reading, before Guan Yu came, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu basically went to June 4th. After Guan Yu came, he alone accounted for 70%.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei had high hopes for Guan Yu. The most elite force under Tuo Yi was his 800 Liangzhou soldiers, all of whom were masters of cavalry. They were the ones who made Gongsun Zan suffer at Jieqiao. Tuo Yi fought in Heishan and sent these people to the battlefield whenever there was a stalemate, and he could often decide the outcome in one battle.
But Liu Bei did not expect that Tuo Yi would grab Guan Yu and attack seven times in a row, as if he would not give up until he defeated Guan Yu. Seeing that Guan Yu had exhausted his fighting power for a long time, Tuo Yi would not let him go, and sent someone to reinforce and attack. If Guan Yu was defeated, Liu Bei would have lost his arm. When Tuo Yi sent Xiliang's strong soldiers to decide the outcome, he did not have the same power to counterattack.
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and sent someone to order Zhao Yun to move between the left wing and the central army. If Guan Yu takes the initiative to ask for help, then let Zhao Yun support Guan Yu. If Guan Yu does not agree to reinforcements, then Zhao Yun will establish a line of defense as a new left wing. With his understanding of Guan Yu, the most likely thing is the latter. If he does not fight to the last person, it is impossible for Guan Yu to ask for help.
Zhao Yun rested in the back formation and received the order, he immediately rushed between Liu Bei and Guan Yu. He rushed to the front, came to the front, and saw Zhang He's battle flag at a glance. Looking at Zhang He's position, he couldn't help but complain. Needless to say, Zhang He was coming for Guan Yu. If it were normal, Zhang He might not be Guan Yu's opponent, but now Guan Yu has been exhausted in several battles in a row. Zhang He is also a meticulous person, and he is good at using his complex skills to restrain Guan Yu.
Zhao Yun did not dare to be careless, and sent someone to notify Liu Bei while preparing for the fight.
Zhang He also saw Zhao Yun. However, he was not nervous, and Qu Yi would make arrangements. As expected, as soon as Zhao Yun appeared in front of the formation, Qu Yi transferred a battalion from behind, just blocking Zhao Yun's way. Five hundred sword shields, five hundred spearmen, and one thousand powerful crossbowmen are ready for battle. As long as Zhao Yun intends to attack, these thousand powerful crossbows will become his nightmare.
When dealing with cavalry, strong crossbows have always been the first choice.
Before Liu Bei received Zhao Yun's reminder, Que Yi had already mobilized his troops. When Liu Bei knew that the man opposite was Zhang He, he might have come for Guan Yu, he understood the intention of the mobilization of Que Yi's battalion, and was so anxious that he jumped straight. Que Yi had the advantage of military strength and had nearly 10,000 crossbowmen available, but he did not have so many people. If Zhao Yun forced him to attack, it would be like sending precious cavalry into the powerful crossbow arrow formation. If Zhao Yun was not in control of his troops, Guan Yu, who had been exhausted for a long time, would be more frightening to face Zhang He.
There is only one feasible way now: let Zhang Fei from the right wing attack, attract Tuo Yi's attention, and prevent him from mobilizing heavy troops to attack Guan Yu.
But this is not cost-effective. Even in field battles, the casualties of both offense and defense are different. The defender does not need to move, so he can maintain the formation better, save physical strength, and unhurried tactical movements, which is especially suitable for new soldiers who have not been trained for a while. These people are well trained, but have insufficient combat experience. The formation and then fight can allow them to fight back with all their hearts and do not have to worry about cooperation when moving. Once they take the initiative to attack, they will face formation changes. Once they are not in good cooperation, they will be caught by the opponent and take advantage of the gap to break into, which is likely to be a crushing defeat.
On the opposite side is Tuo Yi, the number one general in Hebei with rich combat experience. His ability to capture fighter jets is undoubtedly first-class. Perhaps he mobilized heavy troops to continuously attack Guan Yu's position, but he has not launched a strong attack on the central army or the right wing for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity.
Liu Bei's forehead was covered in sweat and his palms were wet. He wiped it on the battle robe again and again, and even the battle robe was wiped to pieces, and he still felt the hand tide.
He regretted it a little. He shouldn't be eager to succeed and find Que Yi as his opponent in the first battle. It is unlikely to become famous in one battle, and it is becoming increasingly possible to be wiped out by the entire army. Que Yi came slowly than expected, and he would probably send people behind him. Although there is no news yet, it will be too late once the news comes.
Otherwise...there are some losses now and then, withdraw first?
This idea was immediately rejected by Liu Bei himself. Retreat is more difficult than attack, and the offense has morale to be available, but retreat is very easy to lead to defeat. The morale of the army is easy to be confusing and difficult to rectify. Once the soldiers think that they are defeated, they may lose control at any time, and it is difficult for him to control the formation.
What should I do? Liu Bei was sweating like a slurry and his face was pale. He couldn't help but touched his earlobes and prayed in his heart. Ancestor of the Liu family, you must bless me. Sun Ce, your words must come true. I have listened to your suggestions and cut down the big mulberry tree like a canopy. If this cannot change my destiny, I will never end up with you.
Just when Liu Bei was struggling, Guan Yu rushed out of the battle formation again.
Zhang He was staring at him. When Guan Yu moved, he immediately urged the horse to speed up, crossed the passage specially left by the Jizhou army, and quickly raised the horse's speed to the limit. The sound of horse's hooves became more and more rapid, and the horse's feet were running wildly, and the four hooves almost flew into the air, splashing all the way. Zhang He leaned forward, held the halberd in his hands, stared at Guan Yu who was getting closer and closer, and shouted: "Guan Yunchang, Zhang He is here in Hejian, come and die quickly."
