Chapter 1242 The difference
Zhang Fei had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the sound of war drums on Guan Yu's position, and the cheers were louder and louder, he was anxious and wished to come once. Although the Jizhou army on the opposite side had attacked several times, it was just a test and did not give its all. Guan Yu on the left wing was fighting fiercely, and Liu Bei suddenly ordered him to attack. He immediately realized that the situation was not good. Either Guan Yu defeated his opponent and Liu Bei wanted to fight back in full swing, or Guan Yu was trapped by his opponent, and his situation was worrying, and Liu Bei wanted to ask him to support Guan Yu.
No matter which result it is, it is not good for him.
While waiting for the attack, Zhang Fei was observing the opposite position and asking the scouts back and forth about the generals on the opposite side. The scouts were the most informed people, and even the main generals they had might not know some of the information they had. The main generals were concerned about a lot of things, and generally they would not pay attention to the other party's ordinary generals, unless they were Sima, who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who
The scout said that the opposite side was full of powerful people in Jizhou, mainly from the southerners. Several people had followed Han Fu back then, such as the Geng Zhan who was just killed by Que Yi was the clan of Geng Wu, the chief secretary of Han Fu. There was also a man who was similar to Geng Zhan, named Min Jian, who was a member of the Yuanzhi tribe of Han Fu and Min Chun, and he had more than 2,000 powerful crossbowmen in his hands. Because of Min Chun, this person had no hope of promotion, so he was not active in fighting. Whether he was willing to contribute his efforts depends entirely on whether the spoils were rich enough. If there was no profit, he would not contribute.
Min Jian is just a typical example, and others may not be as out of style as him, but many of the subordinates of Que Yi were old subordinates of Han Fu, and they had a close relationship with those killed by Yuan Shao. However, due to the situation, they had to work hard for Yuan Shao. The family and industry were all in Jizhou, so they dare not blatantly betray Yuan Shao. Without industry and unable to support their troops, they would be nothing.
After hearing these stories, Zhang Fei understood why the attacks of the Jizhou army were so weak just now. He knew that the opponent was not determined to fight desperately, and he was psychologically better. As the saying goes, he was afraid of being stunned and being afraid of being desperate. Sun Ce often said that whether the two armies were fighting or fighting, they were fighting without mercy or not. They must seize the opponent's weakness and fight to the death, so as not to give the opponent a chance to fight back until the opponent loses the ability to resist. Generally speaking, the so-called loss of resistance means either killing the general and catching the flag, or forcing the opponent to collapse on the entire line, and the general loses the control of his subordinates.
For example, when he fought Guan Yu in Xiao County, and when he fought Jiang Qi in Xiao Huang.
Zhang Fei has always admired Sun Ce. In Xiao Huang's battle, he followed Sun Ce and made great contributions, so he got the Snake Spear in his hand, and was very impressed. At this moment, he subconsciously applied the method of that battle. As soon as he broke through the opponent's battle formation, he went to Min Jian's battle flag.
"Zhang Fei, a man from Yan, is here, Min Jian, come and die quickly."
Zhang Fei was born with a loud voice, which was slightly better than Guan Yu. Even if the golden drums were ringing in the chaos and people shouted and neighed in the horses, they could not hide his voice. Min Jian was paying attention to him and knew who Zhang Fei was. He was so nervous when he heard this roar. If Geng Zhan had not been beheaded by Queyi for fear, he would have almost turned around and ran away.
Despite this, Min Jian did not have the courage to come forward to fight. He ordered his personal guards to defend and block Guan Yu. But he still underestimated Zhang Fei's combat effectiveness. The snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand had both length advantages and trick advantages. He pushed left and right, and Min Jian's personal guard could not get close to him at all, and several people were damaged in succession. Seeing that the situation was not good, the personal guards came forward to fight in person, but were knocked down by Zhang Fei with one spear.
Seeing Zhang Fei rushing forward like a storm, there was no general in front of him, Min Jian panicked and did not care about Que Yi's military order and drove away. Zhang Fei was reluctant to leave. He was not in a hurry to take Min Jian's life, so he followed Min Jian. The tip of the snake spear was only one arm away from Min Jian's back heart, which made Min Jian feel the threat of death at all times and could not stop and organize a counterattack. Min Jian's subordinates rushed forward desperately, but they could neither form a formation to block Min Jian's way. They were not Zhang Fei's opponents to fight alone, and they lost more than ten people in succession.
Min Jian's position was in chaos, and Tian Yu seized the opportunity and organized the crossbowman to shoot with all his strength. As the arrow formation was suppressed, the sword and shield hands in front lost support, and the casualties were not replenished. The front gradually could not support it and collapsed. Min Jian was panicked by Zhang Fei. Although he shouted hard, it was useless. He had to order people to raise the banner of Double Rabbits and ask for help from the central army.
Seeing that Min Jian on the left wing could not hold on so quickly, Que Yi frowned even more. He did not expect Min Jian to block Zhang Fei, but he hoped that Min Jian could hold on for a while, causing as much damage as possible, and consuming part of Zhang Fei's morale and physical strength. As the saying goes, one-piece effort will decline, and then exhaust it. As the casualties increase, physical strength will be consumed, no matter what kind of elites will show fatigue. However, Min Jian was defeated too quickly and did not play such a role, and his tactical concept would be greatly reduced.
It seems that Liu Bei is indeed stronger than he expected. Not only is Guan Yu's combat power super strong, but Zhang Fei is not weak either. These new recruits can show such combat power and will be more difficult to deal with in the future. The best way is to take advantage of their lack of wings and severely damage him at one time. Not only should they wipe out most of the new recruits he trained, but they should also severely damage his self-confidence.
While ordering reinforcements from Min Jian to stabilize the defense line, Qu Yi reassessed the battle comparison between the two sides based on the progress of the battle and deduces the situation. He sadly discovered that he still had the opportunity to severely damage Liu Bei, but he also had to pay greater casualties. If Liu Bei still hid something that he didn't know, he might even be defeated by Liu Bei. Unless Yuan Shao arrived at this moment, with the central army led by Yuan Shao, it would have nothing to do if Liu Bei had a backup plan.
But there was no news from the central army for a long time. Tuo Yi was anxious, and the fighter planes were falling from his fingers like sand.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was going well and defeating Min Jian's position, Que Yi did not counterattack for a long time and just sent someone to reinforce him. Liu Bei secretly thanked him. He ordered the central army to assemble and prepare to attack. At the same time, he called out a thousand crossbowmen to shoot at the Jizhou army that blocked Zhao Yun's left front of the central army.
The Jizhou army was not willing to be outdone and immediately fought back.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately seized the opportunity and rode his horse toward Zhang He. Zhang He could see clearly and divided some of the halberd soldiers to fight. Que Yi was afraid that Zhang He would be in trouble, so he sent some cavalry to reinforce him. More than two thousand cavalry rushed back and forth, stirring up together, and it was difficult to resolve. Zhao Yun could not break through the blockade of the halberd soldiers and rescued Guan Yu. Zhang He also saw that there were only sixty or seventy people left by Guan Yu because of his dispersed force. He could not win quickly, so he could only use his patience to slowly consume Guan Yu's strength little by little, waiting for the opportunity to kill.
Guan Yu was exhausted and could only form a formation to defend against the halberds who were riding horses. Aside from a hundred steps, his subordinates were also fighting hard. Although they had lost Guan Yu's command, they could only rely on the instinct they trained on weekdays, but Guan Yu's battle flag was still there and Guan Yu was still alive. The defense line in their hearts did not collapse. They gritted their teeth and resisted tenaciously, waiting for Guan Yu to break out of the siege again.
The war was in a stalemate, and both sides had already invested most of their troops, and there were not many chess pieces left in their hands. Tuo Yi and Liu Bei both clenched their fists, widened their eyes, held their breath, and waited for the other party's flaw to appear.
