Chapter 627 Zhang Liao, what are you looking for! Are you tired, Zhang Liao!
Chapter 627: Zhang Liao, what are you trying to do? Zhang Liao, are you tired?
Time flies so fast...two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Huan, who has temporarily taken over the position of head coach, the most important thing when getting up early every morning is to quickly check whether he is missing any arms or legs——
In fact, it wasn't just him. These two days were like being tortured in the eighteenth level of hell. Many soldiers who were already mentally fragile couldn't bear it and chose to hang themselves.
This gave Zhu Huan, who was already exhausted, another heavy blow - this matter may be said to be simple, but to be complex, it means that the soldiers in the army have psychological problems.
Not to mention the cries of death in Hefei City, even if they heard the chaos of their own soldiers and horses, some soldiers would be so nervous that they didn't know what they were doing. They were looking around, for fear that another dark one would pop out from some gap.
Iron cavalry…
Yes, the reason why the soldiers were overly stressed and even committed suicide all had to do with the black cavalry led by Zhang Liao himself.
On the first day and night after Zhu Huan took over as the head coach, he suffered two attacks, one virtual and one real. The second attack made Zhu Huan never dare to relax his mind again, and he fell into a state of high mental stress from then on.
middle.
In the past two days, the same thing happened at every twelve hours of the day, and the same plot happened.
Yes--
This cavalry has no martial ethics.
As for surprise attacks, the first two were quite reasonable. Zhu Huan failed, and he also admitted that it was his own negligence.
But the time Zhang Liao chose for his surprise attack later became more and more outrageous.
How could anyone deceive themselves and others and still think about their military camp covering them up at noon, with the sun hanging high above their heads and everything under the sun clearly visible?
At noon the day before, Zhu Huan had just picked up the dry food in his hand when he heard the horn of an enemy attack coming from outside the tent.
It's just that Zhu Huan decided that at this time, as long as there was nothing wrong with Zhang Liao's mind, it would be absolutely impossible for him to attack their military camp in front of their tens of thousands of troops.
So he made up his mind and bit into the dry food fiercely, and the result was... In broad daylight, under the clear sky, the unscrupulous cavalry did not respect martial ethics, and rushed into the Soochow people's camp under a rain of arrows, burning, killing, looting, and showing off their talents.
And go——
Zhu Huan, who walked out of the tent in confusion, was left with a few burned-out tents and the corpses of poor people on the ground.
Zhang Liao's army suffered casualties, and the number of casualties almost offset the number of enemies they killed this time... But even so, they still had to take risks and forcefully kill Zhu Huan.
"Zhang Wenyuan! You...what are you trying to do? Tell me what are you trying to do!"
Zhu Huan was incompetent and furious... Jiang Qin and others looked at Zhu Huan helplessly. Seeing that the good Zhu Huan had been ruined by these days of hard work, they couldn't bear it, but honestly speaking... everything
The initiative is all in the hands of the enemy——
If they don't defend, then Zhang Liao will kill them and show them off.
In the past two days, Zhang Liao relied on his 800-man cavalry to cause the greatest casualties, killing nearly a thousand people in Zhu Huan's formation in one go.
After three days, Zhang Liao had caused more than 5,000 casualties to the Soochow people with just one elusive cavalry force.
With a battle loss ratio of seven times, even the Battle of Chibi, a battle involving ships, only suffered eight or nine times the battle losses.
Zhang Wenyuan led the cavalry to cut this off with one knife after another.
The key is... because Zhang Liao also killed Zhu Huan at noon, a time when he was least likely to be attacked by surprise, even for two consecutive days... Yesterday, when Zhang Liao came to Zhu Huan again at noon, Zhu Huan led his troops.
The general fought hard and finally killed nearly seventy people around Zhang Liao. This was the first time he gained an advantage over Zhang Liao.
But...this result did not make Zhu Huan feel the least bit excited.
Because Zhu Huan's head felt as if he was going to explode when he thought that he would have to be constantly on guard against surprise attacks from the opponent in the next few months.
Three days - Zhu Huan rested for less than three hours in total.
Zhu Huan, whose eyes were bloodshot, had the best sleep tonight, for an hour and a half, but he was already satisfied enough.
Just when I was about to get up to wash up and fill my stomach, the sound of bugles that had been the same for the past three days was heard outside the camp again——
"Enemy attack!!"
Zhu Huan's hair was untied and disheveled. He quickly put on his armor, picked up his spear and rushed out with a howl. He mechanically laid out a plan for encirclement and suppression, but he didn't expect... Someone in the distance shouted:
"It's a feint attack from the enemy! They... they went back..."
Dang 钒——
Zhu Huan was full of filthy words, scolded Zhang Liao, threw away his sword and spear, and rushed into the house, leaving his subordinates looking at each other in confusion——
"Zhang Wenyuan! Aren't you tired!!"
Zhu Huan's hysterical shouting came from the tent, but no one could comfort him——
——
Here, we actually get to the point.
Zhu Huan, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others were able to reach their current position. None of them were good or bad. However, Zhang Liao was able to take the initiative. There are actually two reasons:
Zhu Huan said before that they were passive. The reason for everything was that their siege did not go smoothly... When Zhang Zhao was the commander-in-chief, the army comprehensively attacked the city for the first time. After Zhu Huan took over the command, he organized another
Two more large-scale attempts were made, but they failed to achieve any results at all.
Hefei suffered a lot of casualties. This is true. There were 30,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 county soldiers in the city... The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is ignored for the time being.
Those 30,000 elite soldiers suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in several days of fierce fighting.
The remaining 30,000 troops seem to be unable to support the city defense——
But looking at the Soochow people, their casualties were even more severe:
Throwing aside the nearly 10,000 troops and horses that Zhu Huan sacrificed at the beginning.
After three days of fighting, 20,000 people just evaporated out of thin air.
At this moment, there are mountains of corpses piled up under the city of Hefei. Under the scorching skylight, they begin to emit bursts of rotten odor——
The blood had solidified and there had been no rain for several days, which only made it more difficult to attack the city.
The Soochow people, who were in poor condition, had not made even a little progress in the past three days and had not captured a single stronghold on the city, which made their attack particularly weak.
The initiative often comes from two sides, you attack and I defend, it just depends on which side is more comfortable.
Compared with the harassment of small-scale soldiers and horses, Zhu Huan could only organize one large-scale siege operation in one day.
This fundamentally widened the gap between Zhang Liao's ability to personally lead the cavalry to harass military camps.
When flexibility fails...
The second reason is what Zhu Huan called-Is Zhang Lia tired?
Zhang Liao was very tired.
Every time he led the cavalry to fight in a circle and returned to Hefei City, he would be sweating profusely and panting.
But the biggest difference compared to Zhu Huan and the others...the eight hundred cavalry led by Zhang Liao didn't need to worry about anything after returning to the city. They found their resting place and fell asleep!
They are well served with good food and drink. As soon as they have finished their rest and have sufficient physical strength, they will immediately go into battle and harass the enemy again.
This is the difference...Zhang Liao and others take the initiative to rest, while Zhu Huan and others passively interrupt the rest.
As this comes and goes, it is clear at a glance who is full of energy, who is more proactive, and who is suffering more.
This is the best strategy that Zhang Liao realized from that small bag of tips.
In just three days, Zhang Liao seemed to have started to make the people of Soochow avoid him and become frightened by the news.
