Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

After cleaning the battlefield, disposing of the corpses, treating the wounded, and recovering usable arrows, the six of Xu Lai returned to Liu Zhang's account to report the battle situation.

Liu Zhang heheed, and planned to let them go down to rest, but they didn't leave immediately, but instead asked, "My lord, your two thousand shield soldiers are really powerful, even the enemy cavalry can't break through!"

"That's right," Liu Zhang looked proudly at the six military lords, "The defense of these large shield soldiers is really amazing. If they are placed in the front row, it will be difficult for the enemy to break through the defense line, but they also have an obvious shortcoming."

"Ah, such a powerful big shield soldier has shortcomings?" Chen Lu didn't believe it.

"Their large standard iron shields are made of pig iron and weigh thirty catties. In addition, the armor on them consumes a lot of energy. They engage in guerrilla warfare, and within an hour they will be defeated."

"Here, what is guerrilla warfare?" The curious baby Luo Fu asked.

"Swim and strike, don't fight head-on!" Liu Zhang replied.

"I see!"

"You have to work hard for half an hour, go down and have a rest, life is still needed by you!"

Liu Zhang drove away the six people and continued to rest in the commander's tent.

Before dark, the gates and fences outside the camp were finally erected, so that the camp also had a simple defense.

This camp is set up very simply, anyway, it only needs a place where you can sleep in peace.

Liu Zhang estimated that it would not take long to capture Gaoling.

Zhu You returned to Gaoling, counted the soldiers, and found that [-] cavalry and [-] infantry had been lost. He was furious, and immediately summoned all the officials in the city to discuss how to deal with the enemy.

He described the situation of the attack on Liu Zhang's camp in detail, then looked at the big and small officials in the meeting hall, "The situation today is like this, tell me later, how to break this big shield soldier!"

Everyone bowed their heads to think, but Zhu You didn't urge him.

After dozens of breaths, a middle-aged scribe said: "Master Taishou, from your description, the enemy's large shield soldier has amazing defense, especially the large shield, which can protect the opponent's whole body, and its quality is quite heavy. It must be difficult to move."

"Indeed, such a large shield must be covered with iron sheets on the outside and wooden boards on the inside. Even so, its weight will not be less than thirty catties." Zhu You nodded.

"Thirty catties is nothing for a general, but it is a heavy burden for an ordinary soldier. Liu Zhang actually has two thousand such large shield soldiers. It is really not easy."

The opponent could see the characteristics of the large shield soldier, so there must be a way to break it, Zhu You asked: "Is there a way to break it?"

"In my humble opinion, the enemy's load is so heavy, it will not last long, or it may be delayed."

"Procrastinate?" Zhu You didn't understand.

"Drag until the opponent's physical energy is exhausted before you can fight against him!"

After thinking for a while, Zhu You couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he stroked his hands and laughed loudly: "Wonderful!"

"Master Taishou, maybe you can fight against the opponent!" One person suggested.

"Oh!" Zhu You looked over and saw that the man was the county magistrate.

"The opponent's soldiers are strong, but the generals are not necessarily brave. Maybe we can try to fight the generals. If we win, we can also rub their spirits."

"Well, this plan works!"

There were some people behind who made suggestions, but none of them were as good as those of these two.

After discussing for a while, Zhu You already had some calculations in his heart, so he ordered everyone to disperse.

Then, he sent a messenger to Yangling.

Zhu You stationed two thousand soldiers and horses in Yangling, led by the school lieutenant Wang Yuan.

When Wang Yuan learned that Zhu You, the prefect, had sent someone over, he immediately came to greet him.

"The messenger is here, does the prefect have any orders?" Wang Yuan asked cordially.

"This is a letter written by my lord, General Wang, please read it!" The messenger was Zhu You's confidant, but he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Wang Yuan, the school lieutenant. He took out the bamboo slip from his bosom and handed it with both hands.

Wang Yuan glanced at ten lines, and quickly read the content on the bamboo slips.

"Liu Zhang's big shield soldiers are so powerful?"

This messenger is Zhu You's personal guard, and he is by Zhu You's side in today's battle. "Today I went out with my lord to see it with my own eyes."

"You go back and tell the prefect, that is, I will prepare to send troops tomorrow to harass the other party's camp."

"If that's the case, I'll go back and report!" The messenger received the reply, and immediately rode his horse back to Gaoling under the darkness.

After getting an accurate reply from Wang Yuan, Zhu You just went back to his room to rest.

After one night, Liu Zhang's army lit a fire to cook, and after breakfast, he led the army to Gaoling.

Because there was Yangling to the west, he was worried that the other party would come to attack the camp, so he kept 3000 people and brought 7000 people to Gaoling.

As soon as Liu Zhang moved, the scouts outside Gaoling City found out that there were soldiers who reported to Zhu You.

Zhu You immediately led people up to the south gate, and he saw the enemy army coming.

Liu Zhang led the army to stop [-] paces outside the city, rectified the formation, and waited for it. A horse galloped out of the army formation and quickly approached the Gaoling city wall.

"Listen, people in the city. My lord Liu Zhang is ordered to attack the traitor Dong Zhuo and Zhu Youfu who are traitors against the country. Their crimes should be punished. Hurry up and surrender the city. Otherwise, after the city is broken, you will be reduced to ashes."

His voice spread to the top of the city, and all the soldiers on the top of the city heard it.

They whispered to each other and communicated with each other.

These days, occupying righteousness is very important.

The soldiers in Gaoling City couldn't help but feel a little confused. They didn't know why they were fighting and who they were fighting for.

Seeing the wrong eyes of many soldiers, Zhu You immediately shouted: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Dong Xiangguo controls the court, and he dared to raise troops to resist Liu Zhang. He is a traitor."

His words seemed to have some effect. Some soldiers' eyes were no longer confused, but some soldiers were even more confused.

After all, who is the traitor!
"Come here, Kaicheng, I want to wipe out the traitors!" Zhu You left more than a thousand people to guard the city, and brought 2000 people out of the city.

The cavalry was about to speak again, but there was a squeak, the city gate opened, dozens of cavalry came out first, and he turned back to the army formation.

"Oh, they actually left the city!" Liu Zhang watched as the south gate of Gaoling opened and the guards in the city left the city in an orderly manner.

If an attack is ordered at this time, he is sure to kill all the defenders who leave the city, but the opponent will definitely be able to close the city gate in time.

In this way, he can only kill one or two hundred people, which has no effect.

But wait for them all to come out, if they can be wiped out all at once, then the defenders of Gaoling will be seriously injured.

This is also when one side is out of the city, and the other side will never attack while the opponent is out of the city and forming an array.

This is not only a kind of etiquette of war, but also beneficial to the besiegers.

Liu Zhang waited all the time, and it took an incense stick of time before all the enemy troops left the city, and another incense stick of time passed before the opponent lined up at the gate of the city, with a distance of 150 steps between the two armies.
