Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 50, Desperate Counterattack

Huangfu Song was a little helpless. A strong general like Sun Jian was difficult to deal with.

You like his bravery, but you are worried that he will be in danger because he goes deep alone, which will affect the layout of the entire army.

Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled and said: "It seems that the general thinks highly of General Sun Jian."

He thought of Guan Yu. Guan Yu, who led Jingzhou in the later period, was similar to Sun Jian of this period. He had the belief of being invincible, and his Jingzhou army was the strongest under Liu Bei at that time, but it also posed a hidden danger of defeat.

Too aloof.

Facing Jiangdong's eager gaze, he dared to take the initiative to attack Cao Ren who was stationed in Fancheng. In the end, he was attacked from two sides and defeated.

Although the defeat was an honor, it basically eliminated the possibility of Liu Bei's Northern Expedition. It was impossible to succeed by just attacking Guanzhong all the way.

According to Guo Jia's idea, even if the Northern Expedition was to be carried out, he should wait for Liu Bei on the Xichuan side to move first, so that he would not face the main forces of Cao Cao and Sun Quan at the same time.

Huangfu Song sighed: "Who doesn't love such a fierce general?"

Hit the mark.

Why does Cao Cao like Guan Yu so much? Isn't it because he is the best at fighting?

——

Some people are born for a certain path, such as Sun Jian. During this period, no general could conceal his edge.

Not only his martial arts skills, but also his terrifying aggressiveness when leading troops to break through the enemy's defense lines.

He had broken through five lines of defense of the Yellow Turban Army, leaving Huangfu Song's army far behind.

"Report...General Huangfu has ordered that General Sun stop the attack immediately."

"Sun Jian respects your order."

Sun Jian dismissed the messengers and smiled at Cheng Pu and others: "General Huangfu underestimates me, Sun Jian. I have been fighting in the north and south since I was a boy. How could I not know the danger of going deep alone?"

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others nodded after hearing this and forced a smile.

General, you are indeed not reckless at all, you just pushed the army back a few miles.

Everyone secretly murmured that it was indeed a pleasure to fight with such a general, but they were also frightened all the time, not knowing when they would be surrounded by enemy troops.

Sun Jian found an open space and sat down, wiped the sweat from his face, and continued: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the boat is in the south and the horse is in the north. But I, Sun Jian, do not believe in evil. I want to prove that my children from Jiangdong are no worse than the frontier troops."

These words instantly won the approval of all the generals, and the whole army was lifted up.

——

As the saying goes, one is long and one is short, one is advancing and one is retreating.

Sun Jian's side is advancing with great success, but the Yellow Turban Army on the other side will inevitably retreat.

The news of defeat and the death of his own generals kept coming to his ears, and Zhang Liang was already numb.

He could tell that Huangfu Song was using the Flying Geese Formation, but he was unable to fight back. The front army was defeated so quickly that they could only parry, so how could they fight back?

The Han army's powerful bows and arrows and the strength of its infantry defense were perfectly combined to form an impeccable human wall.

The opponent is advancing step by step, encroaching bit by bit, until our own side collapses across the board.

Bo Cai couldn't help but said: "General Ren Gong, order a counterattack. If we retreat further, the soldiers will be in disarray."

These words immediately won the approval of all the generals.

Zhang Liang looked calm and shook his head: "No, we still have one last chance."

"Yesterday I sent Guan Hai to lead all the cavalry to attack in a detour. They should be almost at the rear of the Han army by now."

As the main force of the Yellow Turbans, he could barely muster 3,000 cavalry, although neither the quality of the horses nor the quality of the cavalry was as good as that of the Han army.

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and then they suddenly realized that no wonder there were almost no cavalry in the army.

Wait, this strategy is somewhat familiar.

"Isn't this Guo Jia's... strategy?" Bo Cai suddenly realized and almost said Zhang Ning's name. In addition to the winner, the background board is often remembered by others.

"Yes."

"Can we succeed in using his tactics against him?"

"Precisely because they have used this tactic before, they often think that we will not use it again, but I have to do the opposite."

——

"It's another day of sunshine today."

Zhang Fei lay bored on his back on the grass, holding a piece of foxtail in his mouth, and complained from time to time.

Guan Yu had nothing to do, so he took care of his increasingly thick and slender beard.

Liu Bei looked ahead and suddenly asked: "Have the scouts sent out come back?"

Guan Yu paused and said doubtfully: "Wei Zeng, I think it's time to come back."

Zhang Fei said casually: "Maybe the water was released halfway, what do you care what they do?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment, and then his expression changed.

"Second brother and third brother, get up quickly, the enemy may be attacking."

"Brother, maybe I was just delayed on the road."

"Soldiers, a place of life and death, how can it be treated as gambling?"

Liu Bei's face sank. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly picked up their weapons and went to line up.

A moment later, accompanied by a sudden tremor of the ground and mountains, a large black mass rolled in.

Zhang Fei sighed: "My dear, there are thousands of cavalry at least. The Yellow Turban has sent out all the cavalry."

"The military advisor is far-sighted, but my eldest brother is cautious in using troops. It's because we were careless."

Guan Yu's face was complicated. He had read many military books and understood the truth. Infantry who did not form a good formation were lambs to be slaughtered in front of the cavalry.

On the contrary, you can use the formation of shield soldiers in front, spearmen in the middle, and crossbowmen in the back to resist.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to inform General Huangfu that the enemy cavalry is attacking."

"Pass my general's order and the whole army will form a formation!"

With an order, the military formation began to unfold in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Guan Hai, who was leading the charge with his cavalry, also saw the banner with the character "Liu" in it, and bad memories suddenly emerged in his mind.

But he has no escape route, and he would rather die in battle than become a deserter.

Bang bang bang...

Accompanied by bursts of loud noises, the cavalry rushed into the formation like a pack of wolves. In an instant, people fell on their backs and their horses wailed all over the field.

——

"Report... General Liu has summoned that enemy cavalry has appeared in the rear of our army."

"How many people are there in the enemy army?"

"About several thousand."

After hearing this, Huangfusong sneered and said: "It seems that he has put all the treasure on it."

Then he looked at Guo Jia and said with interest: "What do you think of Fengxiao?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Tactics for approaching the enemy are never static. This strategy can only be used against arrogant generals and opponents with flaws in their military formations."

This is a sincere statement. If the opponent is a veteran like Huangfu Song, he will never use this tactic.

However, Zhang Liang must have been forced to have no choice but to defend the city. He could no longer defend the city and was losing ground on the front battlefield, so he had no choice but to resort to this gambling-like strategy.

This is human nature.

People who are in desperate situations often choose to gamble in a small and generous way, imagining that they can gamble on a bright future.

"Does Fengxiao think General Liu can stop this cavalry?"

"must be able to!"

"Okay, here's my general order: Yuan Shu leads two thousand troops to go out on the left, and Chunyu Qiong leads two thousand troops to outflank the cavalry on the right."
