Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 483 Stalemate between the two armies (two in one)

"His Royal Highness will definitely put the overall situation first..."

Pei Kuo muttered to himself, even he would not believe that Liu De would really let Han Meng go, if Liu De really put the overall situation first, he would not allow Huo Qubing to cut off Han Zhuo's little finger.

But Pei Kuo must do his best, and it has nothing to do with Han Meng, just because he is Duke Wei's counselor!
This is repaying your kindness with your life.

"Forget it! General Gongye, report this matter to His Highness immediately! General Pei, you are here to deal with the funeral affairs, and I will go to Dingxiang tomorrow to pay homage to the dead souls!" Qin Qiong issued the order one by one, and then waved his hand , "Let's all go down!"

"The last general takes orders!"

The two led Pei Kuo away from the big tent.

……

Guan Yu White Horse Camp.

However, in a few days, Li Feng had already rectified the morale of the army, and then ordered the three armies to cross the river together, forcing Guan Yu to withdraw from Baimajin.

At this time, Li Feng had [-] soldiers and horses, Han Zhuo led more than [-] soldiers and horses on the left wing of Huiji County, and Ding Yiyi led more than [-] soldiers and horses on the right wing to sit in Wei County.

Guan Yu had a total of 6000 troops stationed at Baimajin. Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong each led [-] troops to stop the Wei army's left and right flank troops.

At that time, the three armies were all in unison, and Li Feng personally supervised the central army. Arrows and crossbows were fired indiscriminately, and large and small boats crossed the river.

If a timid person sees this, he will probably pee his pants immediately!
Although Guan Yu was brave and commanded a lot of people, but after all, there was a huge disparity in the number of troops. After fighting for several days, he had to call back Zhang and Huang's troops.

Ding Yiyi and Han Zhuo, who had been blocked for several days, were able to cross the river and gained a foothold on the north bank of the river. Then, under Li Feng's command, they besieged Guan Yu's camp.

However, in seven or eight days, the two armies suffered heavy losses. Guan Yu's army lost more than half, and Wei's army also lost more than [-] men. Countless people died in battle or fell into the water.

A few days later, under Zong Ze's suggestion, Guan Yu abandoned the camp and retreated towards Baima County. Li Feng learned that he immediately ordered the army to pursue him, but he didn't want Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to lie in ambush early on. Wei Jun could only abandon more than a hundred corpses and fled in defeat.

Immediately, Guan Yu's troops left calmly.

Although Li Feng suffered heavy losses, he still completely occupied Baimajin, the vital point of Jizhou.

When Guan Yu set up camp outside Baima County, Liu De finally led the army to Baima County.

"Lord!"

All the generals waited for Liu De outside the camp, and then followed Liu De into the tent of the Chinese army.

Liu De looked at the exhausted generals, patted everyone's shoulders one by one, and said, "It's really hard for everyone!"

Guan Yu looked ashamed, and bowed to Liu Deyi: "The last general is ashamed, he lost to the Wei army, so he had to abandon the White Horse Ferry, and please punish him!"

"Hey, get up quickly!"

Liu pulled Guan Yu's arm, helped Guan Yu up, and said to Guan Yu: "Li Feng's leader is not a wine bag and a rice bag, and Li Feng himself is one of the top generals in the Wei army, not to mention the difference in number between the two armies. Not only have you held on to the camp for more than a month, but you have wiped out nearly [-] enemy troops, which is already a great achievement, don't blame yourself, and the time has come for the governor to do his best!"

After Guan Yu heard this, his face was a little red with excitement, but because Guan Yu's face was also red, he couldn't tell it. Guan Yu immediately said firmly: "I will let my lord drive me, even if I die a hundred times, I will have no regrets!"

Guan Yu introduced Liu De: "My lord, this man's name is Zong Ze. In the end, he will be able to defeat the enemy several times, relying on Mr. Zong's strategy!"

"Chen Zongze greets His Highness!"

When Zong Ze heard Guan Yu's introduction, he hurried out to pay respects to Liu De.

"Mr. Zong, don't be too polite!"

Liu De's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Zong Ze to appear in front of him like this, he hurried forward a few steps, took Zong Ze's hand and said: "Mr. Zong has contributed to a big man, so how can you be stingy, now Mr. Zong is promoted The staff officer in the army (from the seventh rank) is under the supervision of Guandu!"

"My lord, thank you for your grace!"

Zong Ze was upright and forthright, although he was a civil servant, he looked like a general. Even Guan Yu, who was full of pride, praised Zong Ze, so it would really complement each other to assist Guan Yu with Zong Ze.

Although Liu De wanted to ask Zong Ze if he had an apprentice named Yue Fei, he felt that it might not be a good idea to ask now, so he should focus on military affairs first.

Liu De then checked Zongze's attributes with stunts:
Character: Zong Ze

Sex: Male
Age: 45/68
Injuries: Health

Power: Liu De (Han)
Status: Gentleman

Official position: none
Title: none
Reputation: 520
Merit: 2000
Loyalty: 95
Command: 90
Force: 52
Intelligence: 85
Politics: 87
Charisma: 88
Suitability: Infantry S Cavalry B Archers S Weapons A Water Army B
Treasure: none
Special skill: Iron Wall [The defense power is greatly increased, and the damage is reduced when the enemy attacks together] (level [-] combat skill)——
As expected of Zongze, his command has reached 90, which is higher than that of ordinary generals, and his politics and intelligence are both above [-]. It is too inferior to be a staff officer in the army, but it doesn't matter, wait for Zongze to stand up. Credit can be promoted upwards.

Liu De directly summoned the generals to discuss the military plan in the big tent.

Xun You said: "Your Highness, although the Wei army has captured Baimajin and can cross the river calmly, our army is still guarding Baima County, making the Wei army unable to move. And the Wei army attacking Baimajin without regard for casualties must be unprepared for a long-term battle. If they want to fight our army, perhaps their food and grass are not enough to support the Wei army to continue fighting!"

"I have three strategies. The first strategy is to strengthen the defense of the camp, and use offense instead of defense to avoid a decisive battle with the Wei army and consume the food and grass of the Wei army.

"Another strategy is to deliberately announce the news of our army's transportation of grain, forcing the enemy to send troops to attack the grain, and our army can send an ambush to attack the Wei army's strength!"

"The third strategy is to make a risky move by sending troops to cross the river to cut off the Wei army's food and grass. If the Wei army's food and grass are not enough, they will retreat after deciding."

Liu De looked around at the generals and asked, "What do you think?"

"Your Highness!"

Jiang Lin came out and said: "We still have more than 3 soldiers who can fight, and although the enemy has suffered heavy casualties in battle, they still have nearly [-] horses. It is better to follow Xun Shizhong's first plan. Focus on defense and consume the enemy's food and grass."

"The final general thinks that although our army abandoned Baimajin, the army is still in line. Now that the lord has arrived, the morale of the soldiers is high and the morale of the army is available. The final general is willing to lead his troops to sneak across the river and attack the Wei army's food road. Please also ask the lord Yes!"

This is Liao Hua's challenge to Liu De. Although abandoning Baimajin is a last resort, it is indeed a loss of face for the two guards of the rear army.

What the soldiers value most is face and military exploits. Only victory on the battlefield can wash away their shame, so Liao Hua hurriedly called for a fight.

And this is exactly what the entire rear army, including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and other generals, meant.

Of course Liu De knew Liao Hua's eagerness, but as Jiang Lin said, the Han army was indeed insufficient in terms of strength. Now that the two armies are confronting each other, it is obviously not very beneficial to the Han army.

And Wei Jun must also have people who are good at strategy. If Wei Jun is aware of it, the soldiers and horses sent out will be more or less ominous.

"Report!"

Liu De's thoughts were directly disturbed by the commanding soldiers outside the tent. Although he was a little annoyed, he knew that it must be a big deal for the commanding soldiers to come at this time.

"Let him in!"

"Report!"

Panting, the soldiers entered the big tent, holding an urgent report, and reported to Liu De, who was sitting as firmly as Mount Tai in front of him: "My lord, General Qin has smashed Han Meng's troops who crossed the river from the east, and beheaded three thousand people. Capture 4000 people and capture the enemy general Han Meng alive!"

"it is good!"

Liu De was overjoyed and said: "Qin Qiong really lived up to everyone's expectations. Now that Han Meng's tribe has been defeated, the eastern part of Jizhou is safe."

Liu De opened the bulletin and glanced at it. His originally happy face suddenly became very gloomy. Under anger, the veins on the hands holding the bamboo slips were extremely obvious. The generals wanted to congratulate Liu De, but when they saw Liu De's They didn't dare to move rashly, they didn't understand what happened.

Liu De threw the bamboo slips on the ground suddenly, and the bamboo slips were shattered into pieces by the powerful momentum. Liu De's eyes were red, and he said angrily, "What a shameless Li Yun, what a butcher Han Meng, you should be killed, you should be killed!"

The generals didn't dare to disturb Liu De, so they had to turn their attention to Ling Bing. Now only Ling Bing can explain to them why the Lord is so angry.

The soldiers hurriedly said: "Reporting to the generals, the Wei army attacked Dingxiang County after crossing the river. The Dingxiang County lieutenant died in battle, and the county magistrate committed suicide in the county government. Han Meng ordered the county magistrate to be chopped up and fed to the dog."

After hearing this, the generals became enraged and shouted and cursed. Since Han Meng is an enemy, even if he found a straw mat to throw the county magistrate's body into the wilderness, the generals would at most curse secretly. to speak of.

But if you chop up a human being and feed it to a dog, what is the difference between this and an animal?

This is Chi (harmony) naked insult to Han, not to mention that Dingxiang county magistrate died for the country.

Guan Yu came out and said: "My lord, please punish Han Mengming, pay homage to the deceased magistrate of Dingxiang County, and reward the county magistrate and county lieutenant with heirs, so as to comfort their souls in heaven!"

"He hasn't finished yet, let him finish!"

Liu De returned to his seat, still furious.

"When the people of Dingxiang learned about this, they attacked Han Meng's mansion overnight, but were defeated by the Wei army. Afterwards, Han Meng issued an order to massacre the city. Except for a few people who had already fled, Dingxiang County was an empty city!" Ling After the soldier finished speaking, he lowered his head.

"Why is this, why is this! How innocent are the people, how innocent are the people!" Zu Na, the servant, muttered to himself.

Zong Ze was so angry that he came out angrily and said, "My lord, the people of Dingxiang are all citizens of a big man. If Han Meng is not executed, how can we calm the wrath of the world!"

"My lord, please kill Han Meng and avenge the people of Dingxiang!"

All the generals also came out and asked Liu De.

Liu De got up suddenly and shouted to everyone: "Han Meng is cruel and cruel, how can the world tolerate him, but letting him die like this is too cheap for him, order Qin Qiong to break Han Meng's limbs, bring them here quickly, Let Qin Qiong take all the heads of the [-] Wei army captives and build the city to worship the spirits of the common people in Lixiang!"

Liu De looked at the commanding soldier again, and asked, "Is the wife of Dingxiang county magistrate still there?"

"Still alive, the wife of the magistrate of Dingxiang escaped a catastrophe because she returned to her natal family!" Ling Bing replied.

"Great kindness! The heirs of the heroes are still alive. This is something worth celebrating, so that I can still have a chance to make up for it! Pass the order down, posthumously designate the county magistrate of Dingxiang as Taizhong doctor, and the county lieutenant as General Zhongwu. Qimen Army!"

"Yes!"

The generals commanded.

At this time, another soldier came to report, "Your Highness, the enemy army is piled up with stones in the front line!"

"Pile stones into a tower? What does this mean? All the soldiers follow me out of the camp to have a look!"

Liu De got up and said.

When Liu De led the generals out of the camp, he saw that the Wei army not far away was building civil engineering, and even built three high platforms.

Seeing this, Xun You replied: "Your Highness, the enemy army piled up the high towers to advance towards our army, compress the frontline positions, and restrict our army's formation, so as to take the opportunity to attack our army's camp!"

"Li Feng has a lot of fighting skills, so he thought of this plan!"

Liu De then pointed to the high platform of Wei Jun in the distance and said: "Since they built the high platform, then let's destroy it and order the craftsmen to build trebuchets, and smash these high platforms for me!"

Of course, Liu De could also send soldiers to destroy the high platform, but Liu De has not many soldiers and horses, so of course he doesn't want to let the soldiers go to death, and using a trebuchet is just right!

Don't forget, Liu De started out playing trebuchets.

The craftsmen were ordered to quickly start cutting wood to build trebuchets, and within a few days, dozens of trebuchets were built.

Liu De pushed the trebuchet to the front of the formation, and threw huge stones one after another. Although the accuracy was not high, ten of them might not hit one, but the momentum was scary. Delay in the construction of the high platform.

And as long as the stone hits the high platform, the piled high platform will be smashed with mud and rocks, and then it will collapse and be shattered.

Han Zhuo asked Li Feng for orders: "General, now that the enemy has catapults, our army can't build a high platform. It is better to lead the cavalry to destroy the catapults of the Han army!"

Li Feng nodded and said: "Since Liu De led the army to come, the morale of the Han army is high, and the camps are well-defended. If they attack by force, they will suffer heavy losses, and our army has less than two months of food and grass, so this general built the Han army. The high platform was advanced layer by layer, making the Han army's wall lose its protective effect! But I didn't expect the Han army to use the method of trebuchet to break my high platform!"

"However, the trebuchets of the Han army obviously don't have enough distance. They are far away from the camp of the Han army. This is our chance. In this way, you lead a battalion of cavalry, and burn all the trebuchets and destroy them while they are unprepared!"

"The last general takes orders!"

After hearing this, Han Zhuo ordered a battalion of soldiers and horses, left the camp, and went straight to the location of the Han army's catapult.

Of course Liu De knew that Wei Jun would send people to destroy the catapult, so he ordered Xu Huang to lead troops to guard the catapult early on.

When Xu Huang saw Han Zhuo who had killed him, he shouted, "My lord has ordered someone to wait for a long time!"

"Where did all this nonsense come from! Kill!"

Han Zhuo stabbed with his gun!

Xu Huang laughed loudly when he saw Han Zhuo, and swung his axe, "Who did I think it was, but it turned out to be a finger-severing rat!"

"Ah!!! The thief will die!"

Han Zhuo was stabbed to the sore spot by Xu Huang, his eyes were red, his whole body was trembling with anger, and the wound on his little finger was even more painful.

In anger, Han Zhuo stabbed Xu Huang's throat like a thunderbolt.
