Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 166: Fight with Lao Di’s method to boost morale!
Yan Xiang's arrival came to Zhang Xun's rescue.

And his explanation changed the sluggish morale on the city wall.

After careful consideration, many guards also felt that Yan Xiang's analysis was correct.

The enemy's feints only consume their arrows.

But even if you know the enemy's purpose, how to deal with it?
This is a problem.

Feeling that many eyes were looking at him, Yan Xiang hesitated briefly and said calmly: "The art of war is to take the enemy by surprise and attack him unprepared."

"When we relax, that's when they attack."

"Don't relax yet. The number of archers who attack the enemy will be halved each time. This way, the losses will be much smaller."

The generals looked at Zhang Xun, and when they saw him nodding slightly, they all hurriedly left and made arrangements.

After the complaints on the city wall faded, Yan Xiang came to Zhang Xun.

"General Zhang, what do you think now?"

"But it doesn't matter!"

Zhang Xun was silent for a long time: "Lin Fan is indeed not simple."

"Oh?"

“How come you see?”

Zhang Xun said: "I have not fought against him, nor have I competed with Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. My original knowledge of him is all hearsay."

"I am willing to spread lies about many things, but today's transition between offense and defense scares me inside."

"It seems simple and easy to switch between offense and defense. All it takes is a slight mistake, which is equivalent to giving us our lives in vain."

"In addition to losing dozens of people in the first attack, Lin Fan only lost a dozen corpses in the second attack."

"But how many arrow feathers did we lose in the two times?"

"More than [-]!"

"That is to say, our fifty thousand arrows killed less than a hundred people."

"This is a material loss, and what is even more frightening is the mental torture on the soldiers."

"Mr. Yan also saw just now that just two attacks have made the soldiers impatient and angry. If this continues, I really don't know how low morale will be."

"How can we stop the attack when all the soldiers are low in fighting spirit and exhausted?"

At the end, Zhang Xun's eyes flashed with despair.

He was the only general among Yuan Shu's confidants who valued intelligence.

Therefore, after several feint attacks outside the city, coupled with Yan Xiang's pointers just now, he quickly understood the key points.

Yan Xiang nodded sympathetically and looked at Zhang Xungao.

"General Zhang's analysis is quite good."

"Every time the enemy feints to attack, they are conducting offensive and defensive drills, which is equivalent to training."

"The scary thing is that every training session may turn into a killer move."

"As long as our arrows are not shot and the soldiers relax a little, this offensive and defensive training will immediately turn into a real attack."

"I was caught off guard and lost the opportunity. What's the result?"

"Even if we can block the enemy's attack, the losses will increase exponentially."

Zhang Xun sighed: "Especially if we don't attack three or four times in a row, this kind of mental torture is particularly detrimental to our army."

"Sir, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

After finishing speaking, a look of expectation flashed in Zhang Xun's eyes.

Yan Xiang was silent for a while and shook his head: "There is only one way to defeat the enemy, and that is to take advantage of the enemy's transition between attack and defense to launch a surprise attack."

"As long as their arrow towers and ladders are destroyed, their offensive momentum will be stagnated."

"But the trouble is that Lin Fan's Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry are unparalleled in the world in carrying the Wei army."

"Do we have the ability to go out of the city and burn down its ladders and arrow towers?"

"Even if we have the confidence to take risks, how can the Lord support us?"

"So there is nothing we can do."

Zhang Xun's eyes were full of bitterness: "Is this the only way to endure it?"

"Mr. Yan Xiang, I have a hunch that if this continues, our army's morale will be exhausted in less than half a month." "The combat effectiveness will be far less than it is today."

"It's even more difficult to keep Shouchun alive."

"How about we divide it into two groups and take turns trimming it?"

Yan Xiang paced back and forth on the city wall. After a while, he looked at Zhang Xun solemnly: "Are you even sure that even half of the people can withstand the enemy's attack?"

"You must know that a thousand-mile dike breaks in an ant nest."

"When the city wall is damaged, our army's fighting spirit will quickly collapse. After all, people are afraid of death."

Zhang Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I understand this truth, but it's not an option to waste it like this, right?"

"It really won't take ten days to carry it like this. The soldiers on and off the city wall will be exhausted."

Yan Xiang said: "Let the soldiers put their clothes on and rest on the city wall."

"Inform the army chef that there will be an extra meal today. Everyone will have meat and a bowl of wine to drink!"

"This will inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers."

Zhang Xun's eyes lit up, but after a brief thought, he hesitated and said: "This city wall alone has more than [-] people."

"How can we ignore the defenders in other directions?"

"8 people drink and eat meat. This is a huge loss."

"We didn't win the battle, how could the lord be willing to take out the reward at the bottom of the box?"

"Even if you give it to us, what will happen next?"

"You can't just think about the present!"

Yan Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "If we can't hold it for ten and a half months, how can we talk about the future?"

"Lin Fan put on such a posture, obviously he wanted to defeat Shouchun as quickly as possible."

"All we can do is stalemate him and see who can defeat him first."

"The stronger we defend, the more likely the other princes will lend a hand to support us."

"Otherwise, when the city is defeated, no matter how much supplies we have, they will all become the enemy's."

"Don't worry about my lord, I will personally convince him."

A look of relief appeared on Zhang Xun's face: "With these words from your husband, I can finally feel at ease."

"Sir, you dare to take responsibility. How can I back down?"

"I am willing to go with you to persuade the lord, and I will die to do so."

"If the Lord is not happy, I will threaten to resign from my position!"

Yan Xiang nodded: "If the general has such courage, why worry about not being able to defend Shouchun City!"

"I will go and advise the lord, the general is in charge of the overall situation of the city wall."

"No matter whether the enemy actually attacks or not today, the feather arrows can only be reduced, not stopped."

"Even if we waste a few more arrows, we still have to make the city wall worry-free."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhang Xun looked at his retreating background and looked at the defenders whose morale was low after two more feigned attacks. His eyes flashed with high fighting spirit: "Brothers, because of Lin Fan's cunning, he does not dare to fight us head-on. , I only dare to use these conspiracies, and in order to understand the mental fatigue of the entire army, I specifically asked Mr. Yan Xiang to send the news."

"From now on, you can eat meat every day and drink a bowl of wine every day."

"When the enemy actually attacks the city, if you kill one person, you can get one or two silver coins and eat meat to your heart's content."

"As long as you keep your spirits up, my lord will never treat you badly!"

"Understand?"

As soon as these words came out, the guards on the city wall were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes were full of desire and excitement.

"Master is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!!"

"Hoohooho!!"

"Kill kill kill!!"

The voice resounds throughout the world, and the fighting spirit soars into the sky, unstoppable
