Thousands of attacks, used in the field are extremely deterrent means.
Because it is unpredictable, it is often possible to catch the enemy off guard and achieve a complete victory.
But such a powerful ultimate move has rarely been used in the history of war.
Because it has a fatal weakness - it is easy to lose control!
When manpower is exhausted, once the limit is exceeded, things tend to turn against each other. Running continuously for a long time will cause serious problems for the endurance and morale of the soldiers, and there may even be large-scale falling behind.
The so-called long-distance attack, if you use it well, you will be a magic weapon and a general. If you use it wrongly, you will send someone's head from thousands of miles away. The importance of courtesy and friendship is important.
At this time, what Guan Yu faced was such an army that had traveled a long distance.
The distance from Xingyang to Juan County is only more than a hundred miles, so it should not be so tiring. However, Yang Ding was so eager to avenge his brother that he did not stop at all along the way. The soldiers could not rest. When they reached the foot of Juan County, they were already exhausted.
Therefore, despite the fierceness of Dong Zhuo's army, it is actually at the end of its war effort and cannot penetrate Lu's army.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Yang Ding naturally understood this. The reason why he launched the attack was partly because of the anger in his heart, and partly because the opportunity could not be missed.
He originally wanted his soldiers to rest for a while before attacking the city, but when he arrived, he found that Guan Yu was escorting the people into the city. This made Yang Ding overjoyed and called God help me.
If you kill him now, you will definitely be able to wipe out Guan Yu. You can avenge your brother and take back the city at the same time!
Therefore, he launched an attack without hesitation.
Just like Guan Yu, Yang Ding was also betting that he could annihilate Guan Yu in one wave due to his superior strength, but his odds of winning were higher.
Then, he saw that Guan Yu advanced instead of retreating and took the initiative to attack him.
"court death!"
Yang Ding spat out two words coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
Thousands of people dare to attack my five thousand army. I really don't know what to say.
On the other side, Guan Yu had no time to pay attention to Yang Ding's mood. What he has to do now is to stop this enemy army and buy more time for the people to enter the city.
But after taking advantage of it, Guan Yu was surprised to find that the combat effectiveness of Dong Zhuo's army was not as powerful as he had imagined, and was even a little... powerless.
Guan Yu understood that most of the Xiliang troops on the opposite side were veterans of many battles, but their combat effectiveness was not satisfactory.
He led a thousand men to rush left and right in the enemy formation, but the enemy army was still unable to encircle and strangle him. On the contrary, he felt like a fish in water on his side.
In an instant, Guan Yu understood.
This is a tired army!
good chance!
When he thought of this, a glint flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and he didn't care about the formation, and rushed towards Yang Ding's central army with his soldiers.
Of course, he didn't want to rush into the battle and kill the generals like yesterday. Five thousand people and one thousand people are completely different concepts. No matter how strong Guan Yu is, it is impossible to kill Yang Ding under heavy siege.
All he had to do was to get as close as possible to Yang Ding's general station.
The closer he rushed, the greater the enemy's reaction. In order to avoid its sharp edge, Yang Ding had to shrink his formation. At that time, not only will it buy time for the people to enter the city, but they will also be able to escape calmly.
"Kill me!"
Under the banner of the Chinese army, the anger in Yang Ding's eyes was almost solid, and he vented it out to the surroundings wantonly.
He knew that he would not be in danger, but he could not accept that his formation would be scattered by Guan Yu.
If the other party can kill you with only a thousand men, then why fight this battle?
However, the soldiers who had marched for more than a hundred miles were too exhausted. Even though they had the intention to stop him, their bodies did not obey their orders. Amid Yang Ding's continuous roars, Guan Yu got closer and closer.
rear.
Liu Bei was shocked when he saw this. This was beyond his expectation and he couldn't help but cheered:
"Yun Chang is brave!"
Zhang Heng, who was standing next to him, shook his head, "Mr. Xuande, I'm afraid it's not just about Yunchang's bravery."
"What does Ziyi mean by this?" Liu Bei asked confused.
Zhang Heng pointed at the battlefield in the distance and said with a smile: "Please look at it, Mr. Xuande. This bandit army is well-equipped. Almost everyone is wearing armor. They must be Dong's direct troops. Even if their combat effectiveness is not strong, they are definitely not so weak." .The only reason why Yun Chang was able to tear apart the array was that the enemy troops came from afar and never had a moment to rest, which resulted in insufficient combat power."
Liu Bei suddenly realized this and couldn't help but nodded in agreement, but he immediately reacted and said ecstatically: "So, if we join the battlefield now, there is still hope of victory!"
"It's just natural." Zhang Heng nodded and said, "The Art of War says: If you strive for profit within a hundred miles, capture three generals; if you strive for profit at fifty miles, defeat the general. The enemy has come from afar, how can we not entertain them warmly. "
"Okay, I'll go to battle immediately!" Liu Bei said happily.
I thought it was the greatest blessing to be able to retreat safely to the city, but unexpectedly I saw the hope of victory, and Liu Bei was about to lead his army to fight.
However, Zhang Heng stopped him and said, "Mr. Xuande, wait a moment, it's not time to attack yet."
"Why?"
"Yun Chang has not yet shown his defeat, and the enemy's formation is not completely in chaos. Attacking at this time cannot be fully successful. Furthermore, we don't know whether the enemy only has these thousands of people. What if there are reinforcements later? If we are all trapped in the enemy's lines, we will surely be defeated."
Ziyi, you are too cautious!
Faced with Zhang Heng's advice, Liu Bei was a little helpless, but he still nodded and decided to continue to wait and see.
But Guan Yu in the military formation didn't think so much. The more he killed in the military formation, the more joy he had, and he kept approaching Yang Ding's battle line, forcing Yang Ding to retreat to avoid the edge.
"No retreat, no retreat!"
Yang Ding shouted loudly, and at the same time he pulled out the sword from his waist. When he saw the soldier next to him who was about to retreat, he raised his hand and struck out with his sword, killing the soldier on the spot.
But despite this, it still couldn't stop the signs of retreat.
He understood that as long as he survived Guan Yu's charge, he could slowly encircle and strangle him, but the fact was that he couldn't withstand it at all.
Immediately, a general nearby loudly admonished: "General, the enemy's morale is at a high level right now, let's stay out of the way for now!"
"No, we can't retreat, we can't retreat!"
Yang Ding was furious and refused, and still insisted on encirclement.
Seeing that the sky is getting late, the sun has faded its last rays of light. Once night falls, the advantage in numbers will no longer be as obvious as it is during the day. I also saw that Guan Yu was getting braver and braver. If he continued like this, he might really be able to break through the Chinese army's formation, and then he would really be in trouble.
In desperation, Yang Ding still ordered to shrink the array and let go of the encirclement.
"Thief, I will kill you one day!"
Yang Di pointed the long sword at Guan Yu and roared fiercely.
The Chinese army's banner slowly moved back. Yang Ding's soldiers immediately understood the meaning and began to retreat slowly, leaving only the front to block Guan Yu's charge.
Seeing the enemy troops retreating, Guan Yu achieved his goal and stopped his charge.
When he turned to look back, he saw that Zhang Fei had already sent all the people into the city. Guan Yu then stroked the blood on his beard and nodded slightly.
rear.
When Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu had successfully forced Yang Ding back, he was both happy and anxious. I'm happy that I'm finally safe, but I'm worried about the whole battle, and I didn't do anything to help.
"Ziyi, how should we tell now?"
Zhang Heng raised his head and looked at the already dark sky, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Xuande, now is the time to attack!"
