Chapter 1289 Xu Shu was forced to retreat

"What a sharp-tongued person, he is so nonsense! My Lord is not you who can slander! The soldiers, thousands of arrows are fired at once, and this military advisor wants to kill this beast here!" Xu Shu was a decisive person. Since he knew that this was true, what else should he say? Just start doing it.

The troops brought by Xu Shu were quite elite. Although they were a little confused, they still honestly followed Xu Shu's orders.

The oncoming feather arrow made Kou Feng so scared that he retreated directly.

There is no way. Kou Feng doesn’t want to die yet, and standing on the city wall is a living target.

Kou Feng retreated in a mess and was almost shot, extremely embarrassed.

"What a sinister Xu Shu, I'm not a son!" Kou Feng used a slander to relieve his embarrassment.

It was just that doing this was a bit unnecessary. The soldiers were looking for a place to hide from the feather arrows and had no time to see him.

"Arrowman Counterattack!" As a general, Pang De was much more calm than Kou Feng.

One after another, Liu Jun archers began to fight back against Xu Shu and the others. Condescendingly, Liu Jun had the best advantage and had great lethality.

This was the first time that Xu Shu's troops attacked the city guarded by Liu Jun, and they were completely unable to adapt at the beginning.

Liu's attack speed was too fast. After the Yizhou Army's archers fired a wave of feather arrows, Liu's army could fire two waves of feather arrows. This is the gap between the Yizhou Army and the Liu Army. Liu's soldiers were superior to the Yizhou Army in terms of training and fighting on the battlefield.

What's more, in siege battles, the defensive side has a huge advantage.

It can be said that if Pang De has eight thousand men, he can defend this Fuling City tightly.

A simple tentative attack can let Xu Shu know that it is extremely difficult to take down Fuling City.

Now, Xu Shu is in a turmoil. Fuling City cannot be taken down in a short period of time, which will seriously restrict Xu Shu's military deployment.

There are big wars in Hanxia City and Yongchang County. Yongchang County don’t have to worry so much. It is estimated that Wei Yan can be pacified. The only more serious thing is Gao Shun’s troops outside Hanxia City.

Xu Shu could conclude that Gao Shun would never have 100,000 troops. Because Jingzhou was the place of four battles and bordered Yizhou and Jiangdong. Even if Gao Shun really had 100,000 troops, under the defense of both sides, he would at most 30,000 troops to attack Yizhou. Unless Gao Shun didn't want Jingzhou anymore.

Sun Ce from Jiangdong would not miss such a good opportunity.

Even if there are 30,000 troops, whether Hanxia City can be completely defended is a big question.

The previous defensive fronts were Hanping City, Fuling City and Hanxia City as three core points, and the defense was spread out with points to lead the surface. Under such defense, even if the Liu Jun of Jingzhou took Hanxia City, he still had to face the obstruction of Fuling City, and then it was Hanping City.

Unfortunately, this seemingly strong line of defense was actually attacked by the opponent, and directly took down Fuling City, the center, which caused the entire line of defense to be unable to be continuously penetrated.

There are two choices in front of Xu Shu, one is to take down Fuling City, and the other is to bypass Fuling City and go to Hanxia City.

Neither choice is a good choice.

All you need to take down Fuling City is speed. Before Hanxia City is captured, there must be results.

But today's Fuling City is really not something Xu Shu can win in a short time.

Bypassing Fuling City and heading to Hanxia City, Kou Feng from Fuling City would never look at him in vain. When Hanxia City was captured by Gao Shun and brought his army to Fuling City, Xu Shu would be completely led by the other party.

Xu Shu didn't want to see such a thing at all, but he had very little choice now.

God may have seen Xu Shu have a hard time, so he didn't give him a choice.

Gao Shun's army had already taken Hanxia City. After leaving 5,000 troops to garrison, he immediately rushed to Fuling City without any rest. The information that Fuling City was captured by Kou Feng and Pang De had long been sent to Gao Shun. Fuling's significance was much greater than Hanxia City, so Gao Shun certainly knew the choice. Fuling City, which he would not get, was taken back by Liu Bei's army.

Along the way, Gao Shun's army did not encounter much resistance at all. When Liu Bei's army in Yizhou met Liu Jun, led by Gao Shun, and fled directly like a mouse who saw a cat. Anyone who resisted would directly crush Gao Shun.

This time he went on a war, Gao Shun even brought the camp to the trap. With such a trump card in hand, he was afraid of nothing.

What's more, from now on, we can achieve great victory without having to take action in the camp.

After scouts inquiry, Gao Shun learned that Xu Shu's army was besieging Fuling City, and the dead face was slightly moved.

"I don't know how long it can last for Fuling City?" Gao Shun thought silently.

In fact, Gao Shun's army was a little tired. It would not work if they wanted to arrive at Fuling City quickly. If one was not good, they would even fall into the other party's plan to wait for it.

When Gao Shun was hesitating, Jiang Wan came out to give Gao Shun an idea and said, "General, there is a plan below to relieve the general's worries."

"Come on the way quickly!" Gao Shun said calmly.

Gao Shun's expression never seemed to have changed, like a robot without emotion.

"The soldiers are tired and the Fuling crisis. If our army advances at full speed, we are afraid that we will lose our strength and take advantage of Xu Shu. Therefore, we think that General Gao leads some of the physically strong cavalry to take the lead, and at the same time, the tails of the horses are tied to branches, and thick smoke is rolling between the gallops. The remaining troops of our army will follow up slowly."

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were both stunned. They knew that Xu Shu was very powerful. Using such a strategy could really deceive Xu Shu. If he was discovered, it would be a disaster.

Unexpectedly, Gao Shun actually agreed to Jiang Wan's plan.

In Gao Shun's view, Jiang Wan's plan can be said to have plotted Xu Shu to death. Gao Shun understood Jiang Wan's meaning. It was nothing more than creating an illusion for Xu Shu, making him think that the army had already arrived. Gao Shu felt that Xu Shu would believe 100%. Why? Because Xu Shu had no reason to disbelief.

On the battlefield, immeasurable things will happen at any time to affect victory or defeat.

When Xu Shu attacked Fuling City, Gao Shun came with the "army". How could Xu Shu not waver? He was not afraid of affecting morale.

If Xu Shu didn't believe it, he would have to bear the possibility of defeat. Although it was Yizhou and Liu Bei was the governor of Yizhou, Liu Bei had few troops under his command now.

Some of them guard against the northern part of the Hanzhong Liu army, some of them guard against the southern barbarians, and some of them guard against the southern barbarians. The Jingzhou side launched a fierce attack on them. The troops seemed concentrated, but they were extremely scattered. Once Xu Shu was defeated, the entire Yizhou army would become very small. Without troops, what would Liu Bei fight against others?

Gao Shun's idea is also simple. No matter whether Xu Shu reacts like this or not, he does this. It's better than him being helpless now.

After the decision was made, Gao Shun led a part of the physically energetic troops to take the lead, and the remaining troops were handed over to the two generals Yan Yan and Zhang Ren. Another thing to mention is that the troops that Gao Shun took were the confidence that he relied on to shock the world and trapped in the camp.

With the trap camp in hand, even if Xu Shu sees out his plan and the army presses over, Gao Shun is not afraid.

Gao Shun is the main general, and Zhang Ren and Yan Yan can only listen to him and dare not violate the general's orders. They just hope that they will not be trapped in Xu Shu like Pang De.

During the march, Gao Shun's formation was too big, with dust flying, and he could see his traces from afar.

The illusion created was naturally investigated by the scouts sent by Xu Shu to inquire about the news.

Looking at the dust rolling in the distance, the scouts sent by Xu Shu subconsciously believed that a large number of troops were approaching. After getting closer, Gao Shun's flag let the scouts know what unit it was.

Xu Shu's scout was discovered by Gao Shun's scout and immediately started a fight. In the end, Xu Shu's scout was defeated.

Two embarrassing scouts returned to Xu Shu and told the news that they and others had discovered Gao Shun's army and were defeated.

"What? You said Gao Shun was about to kill him? Why is it so fast?" Wu Lan next to Xu Shu's face looked a little unfair.

Zhuo Zhen, the other end, had a blue face.

This time, Xu Shu brought the two of them with him, at least it was easy to use.

After following Xu Shu, Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lancai learned something about the Shenwu court from Xu Shu, which broadened their horizons. Gao Shun, who had never heard of before, was actually following the generals who were earlier in Shenwu, with an indestructible army under his command. Now they are still outside Fuling City, Gao Shun is about to arrive, which is dangerous.

Well, before Xu Shu could have time to be shocked, his soldiers began to shake.

Even the more reliable Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan were a little worried, let alone those ordinary soldiers.

Last time, Xu Shu created a record of defeating Liu Jun head-on, which increased the morale of Liu Bei Jun.

It's just morale.

Morale is easily agitated and destroyed. If you want to maintain it for a long time, you must continue to win and eventually become an invincible army that despises all enemies in the world.

In the entire Han Dynasty, only the Liu army troops of the Shenwu court were truly despised. Like Liu Bei's combat power, it was naturally a bit unfair.

The soldiers stopped fighting before the fight and began to worry about how they and others would face Liu Jun's tiger and wolf army later.

It's actually very simple. If you can't win, you can surrender or run away.

"Military advisor, are we fighting or... others?" Wu Lan asked weakly.

He didn't dare to say anything about retreat and transfer, so as not to affect his image in Xu Shu's heart.

But Xu Shu is such a smart person, so naturally he won’t be unable to hear the meaning of it.

Even military generals are like this, wouldn’t that be more serious for ordinary soldiers? Xu Shu hurriedly looked at his soldiers and could vaguely find that the soldiers were timid.

"Hi, it's too difficult!" Even though Xu Shu had extremely high abilities, he could not easily let these soldiers forget their fear of Liu Jun.

Xu Shu is a person who refuses to admit defeat, isn’t it Liu Jun? Even if it is really a 100,000 army, Xu Shu believes that he will not lose to anyone.

Xu Shu thought about why Gao Shun came so quickly. According to the soldiers' physical strength, he must be exhausted. Xu Shu was waiting for his work. Such mistakes should not be made with Gao Shun's ability. A smile appeared on his face.

Gao Shun came with a fierce momentum, which was typical confidence. It is undeniable that Gao Shun had very strong military capabilities, but had the weakness of a military general, which was that he was too arrogant and was prone to underestimating the enemy.

"I understand. Gao Shun brought a little bit of troops and set up a formation to deliberately confuse me. It looked dusty. In fact, the troops were pitiful. It made my whole army shake and my morale greatly reduced. It even forced me to retreat." Why did Xu Shu make Liu Yu feared, his head turned too fast.

"General Wu, General Zhuo, I have something to say to you and the other two!" Xu Shu waved to Wu Lan.

Wu Lan and Zhuo Fan didn't know what they meant, but they had to listen to Xu Shu's words.

Xu Shuji jigugu in Wu Lan and Zhuo Zhen's ears, and told him the problem he had just discovered.

Why only the words to Wu Lan and Zhuo Zhen are actually the thoughts of the superiors. If he had to do everything, wouldn't he be too busy? So Wu Lan and Zhuo Zhen will do the things that encourage soldiers to fight. Another point is that if Wu Lan and Zhuo Zhen can't handle it, it would be his military advisor to prevent Xu Shu from boosting morale, but the soldiers did not improve much, which would be so embarrassing.

"Hmph! Isn't it just a Gao Shun? We are the elite under the lord. Didn't we defeat Liu Jun and return last time? The soldiers, our chance to make contributions has come."

"That's right! Everyone has two hands and one head. Why do they think they are very powerful? We won't lose to them! The military advisor said that after this victory, each person will be rewarded with hundreds of dollars!"

Wu Lan and Zhuo Xian said loudly to all the soldiers.

In fact, any kind of encouragement is better than money. The soldiers under Xu Shu are in a mood, so it’s easy to say if they have money.

At this moment, a cavalry rushed from a distance in panic.

Judging from the armor on his body, it was the knights of Liu Bei's army in Yizhou.

Xu Shu had a vague feeling of badness. It seemed that this knight brought not any good news.

The soldiers of Liu Bei's army who were going to fight against Liu's army stopped and looked at the knight who was rushing towards him.

The knight came to Xu Shu and got off the horse in panic, with his feet intertwined, almost falling to the ground, finally half-kneeled on the ground, bowed and said, "Military advisor, Hanping City urgently reported! A large number of enemy troops outside the city attacked him! Hanping City lacked enough troops, please go to rescue!"

"Ah?" Everyone was confused. What was going on? When did a large number of enemy troops appear in Hanping City?

Everyone looked at Xu Shu, not knowing what was going on.
