Guan Yu wanted to raise his account to discuss matters, and Guan Pingping and other generals were quite uneasy.
There was nothing I could do about it. The three-day offensive was indeed a bit unsightly, even Guan Ping and others were aware of it.
It was clearly the side with the upper hand, but even if the strength comparison was a little exaggerated, it could be said that they were outnumbered thirty to one. The opponent actually controlled the offensive rhythm throughout the whole process, and there was no way to break the situation.
Therefore, the Jingzhou generals headed by Guan Ping were prepared to be punished.
But unexpectedly, no one was punished.
On the contrary, Guan Yu affirmed the three-day attack, thinking that the generals performed well, commanded the operations quite steadily, and made no mistakes.
This is the truth, Guan Yu feels so from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Liao controls the rhythm of the attack, etc., just because Zhang Liao has rich battlefield experience and excellent insight. This is indeed Zhang Liao's advantage, but in this battle, Zhang Liao's advantage can only be sustained for a while because of the huge disadvantage in military strength. It's not enough to change the entire situation of the war.
This group of young people was just temporarily suppressed by an old man with a lifetime of experience.
As the battle continues, no matter how strong Zhang Liao's battlefield insight is, he does not have enough soldiers to support him, and he will eventually be defeated.
What Guan Yu is doing now is just to speed up this process.
In the military tent, Guan Yu, with the support of Guan Yinping, raised the tent for military discussion.
After praising the performance of the generals, Guan Yu did not forget his true purpose and said directly, "Tomorrow's battle, I will personally supervise the formation and command. In this battle, Cao's thieves will be defeated."
When the generals in the army heard what Guan Yu said, they all looked up in shock and looked at Guan Yu.
Old man, your injury really doesn't matter? !
By the way, the generals also looked at Military Advisor Xu Shu. Don't you want to give me some advice? !
Xu Shu curled up his lips and thought to himself, I have to persuade him to move.
Besides, you guys, if you try your best, you won't let this old man seize the opportunity and go into battle again, right? !
Time is tight and I can't explain much to you.
Moreover, although Guan Yu wanted to personally command the battle this time, he also agreed to Xu Shu. He was just sitting in the military tent and giving orders. He did not really want to ride a horse and carry a sword to kill the enemy. What could Xu Shu say.
Zhang Liao, who was almost half paralyzed on the tower across from him, could do what the second master, who just had an extra hole in his lower abdomen, couldn't do it. Why couldn't he? !
The second master also dislikes the current expressions of the generals. I am the commander of the first army, okay?
"Kou Feng! Liao Hua! Shi Bao!"
The second master was dissatisfied, no matter how subtle the current atmosphere was, he directly began to issue military orders and order generals on the spot.
When Kou and Feng heard Guan Yu's order, they immediately subconsciously stirred up their spirits and bowed out of line almost reflexively. They raised their hands and responded, "The final general is here!"
Guan Yu was not polite and gave the order directly.
"The three of you will lead an army of 10,000 troops and horses tomorrow to attack the south, east, and west gates of Deng County. Leave the north gate free and encircle the three gates. When attacking, there is no need to reserve any force, and there is no need to worry about fighting. If you don't want to lose anything, just attack with all your strength."
"I will obey my orders."
The three of them were ordered to retreat.
Guan Yu turned his head slightly and continued to give orders before others could react.
"Deng Ai, Guan Ping, Wang Ji."
"The end is here!" x3
After hearing the order, Deng Ai and the other three people immediately went out to listen to the order.
At this time, it is not the time to discuss whether the coach is injured or not. Military orders are in place and there must be no hesitation.
"I order you to lead five thousand elite troops each tomorrow to support the attacking troops. If the Wei thieves in Deng County City cannot hold out, you must not move lightly. If the Wei thieves in Deng County City come out, you must immediately come forward and fight without asking. To defeat the enemy, just try your best to kill and injure the enemy."
The three of them were slightly stunned and glanced at each other, but on this occasion, no one dared to say anything and immediately accepted the order.
Guan Yu nodded again, then looked at his youngest daughter standing next to him, and his second son who seemed to have nothing to do. He thought for a moment and said again, "Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and Mingyou will each lead three thousand troops and horses. The four directions support the envoys and respond back and forth without making any mistakes."
Guan Xing didn't say anything. Guan Yinping became excited when he heard that he had something to do. He accepted the order on the spot. This was the first time that his father directly allowed himself to go to the battlefield.
After making these arrangements, Guan Yu waved his hand and dismissed the accounts directly. He did not intend to give the young generals a chance to persuade him.
The military orders have been received. Even if you want to object to Guan Yu personally commanding the battle tomorrow, it is no longer possible.
Each has its own combat mission. If Guan Yu is not responsible for overall command, who else can do it? !
Since it has become a fact, it is useless to say more, just follow the orders.
After Guan Yu's military order, Guan Ping, Deng Ai, Wang Ji, and Shi Bao got together and discussed it for a while, and finally got some clues about Guan Yu's tactical arrangements.
This is basically a plan to bully the few with more troops and rely on the superiority of troops to overwhelm Zhang Liao who is stubbornly defending in Deng County.
Today's combat arrangement, whether it is Kou Feng, Liao Hua, and Shi Bao who launched the main attack, or the supporting troops of Guan Ping, Deng Ai, and Wang Ji, has one purpose: to kill and injure the Deng County defenders as much as possible, causing the Deng County defenders to Army attrition.
Not to mention that the Second Master was afraid of not being safe. With such a huge military advantage, he also arranged two groups of support envoys from all directions. It was true that he did not even intend to let go of the stragglers of the Wei army.
The garrison in Deng County City will not exceed 3,000 people at full strength. This is a desperate effort to exchange lives for lives. Anyway, there are more than 80,000 people on the Han side, so they can definitely afford the exchange.
To put it bluntly, this is not an excellent strategy. It can even be said that this is a very mediocre tactical arrangement.
Guan Ping, Deng Ai, Wang Ji, Shi Bao, Liao Hua and even fools like Kou Feng could all think of such a fighting method, but none of these people wanted to win in this way.
There are more than 80,000 people at home, and there are only 3,000 on the opposite side. If we fight like this, we won't be able to win with force.
Besides, with such a huge military advantage, if we still use this kind of exchanging injuries for injuries and using the overwhelming method to attack the city and win, it will appear that the leading generals are somewhat mediocre. This is because these young generals are immature. This is also an important reason why they can be led by Zhang Liao to grasp the rhythm.
If you replace it with veteran generals like Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they will not care about "victory without using force" at all. The method that can win the war is a good method.
Although doing so would cause greater casualties to one's own soldiers, compared to wasting food, grass, ordnance and delaying fighter planes in the air under Deng County, the effort was worth it.
Therefore, after Guan Yu took over the command of the war, Zhang Liao felt quite uncomfortable starting from the fourth day of the Deng County offensive and defensive battle.
Three city gates in Deng County were attacked at the same time, and the enemy no longer cared about casualties, and the attacking pace became faster and faster. Zhang Liao immediately realized that this time the opponents were no longer a group of inexperienced juniors, but instead Old rival, Guan Yu.
Zhang Liao's pressure came up instantly.
Of course, the thing that put the greatest pressure on Zhang Liao was not Guan Yu's personal command of the battle, but his injuries, which continued to deteriorate.
Zhang Liao's injury never improved at all.
The foot-long wound on his back has never completely healed since it was cut by Guan Yu. It has always been tightened with several layers of linen until it was numb, in this way to offset the pain.
Although this method can not feel pain for a while, it has only disadvantages but no benefits for wound healing.
Zhang Liao's dislocated vertebrae were injured by Guan Yu, and they are still dislocated. He never had the time or the medical conditions to correct his bones. Therefore, up to now, Zhang Liao can only sit on the tower half paralyzed, without even having the strength to stand up. nothing.
It can be said that Zhang Liao's injury not only showed no signs of improvement, but also encountered an emergency situation. In order to boost the morale of the army, Zhang Liao had to perform masochistic treatment several times. This injury must have become more and more serious. .
At the beginning, Zhang Liao could still rely on perseverance and faith to support himself, telling himself that he must stay in Deng County.
But the longer Zhang Liao stayed in Deng County, the greater the chance that the Wei army would safely withdraw to Wancheng. Zhang Liao finally couldn't hold on any longer.
On the one hand, the human body will eventually reach its limit. No matter how much we rely on perseverance and faith, there will be times when we cannot hold on.
On the other hand, Zhang Liao only relied on more than 3,000 men to defend Deng Xian for five days. This time was enough time for the main force of the Wei army to withdraw to Wancheng and set up defense.
Now Zhang Liao's belief that if he stays for one more day can be regarded as fulfilling his loyal duties for the Wei Dynasty and buying time for the emperor, it is a big or small thing for Zhang Liao.
Therefore, on the second day when Guan Yu officially took over the attack, Zhang Liao finally couldn't hold on on the tower and fainted to the ground again.
As Zhang Liao fainted, the two thousand or so veterans of hundreds of battles holding on in Deng County finally wavered.
Indeed, as long as Zhang Liao is still alive, the veterans also believe that Zhang Liao can lead the generals to victory. But now Zhang Liao's life or death is indeed unknown.
This is the most terrible thing.
Guan Yu, on the other hand, was also very keenly aware of the slight sluggishness and looseness in the enemy's defense, and immediately ordered the entire army to attack forcefully and strive to defeat them in one battle.
But Guan Yu seemed to vaguely see that familiar figure again, standing under the commander's flag on the tower again.
As Zhang Liao suddenly stood up, the Wei army suddenly burst into cheers and once again drove back the Han army that had already attacked the tower.
Guan Yu, on the other hand, did not order another attack, but stared blankly at the figure under the commander's banner.
Wen Yuan, why should he be like this?
