The Three Kingdoms

"General, if we don't retreat and wait for a few days, let's not talk about the Wu army returning to Baima Pass. According to our intelligence, the main force of the Zhanxiang Legion is about to go north, and we will be flanked by front and back!" A captain said.

"General, take a step back, I still have the ability to continue fighting!"

"If it breaks here, we're all finished!"

All the generals wanted to retreat, and couldn't help but speak.

After they had confirmed that there was an ambush by the Wu army in the city, they all thought that this battle could not be fought, because the siege war of attrition had no effect on long-distance ambushes like theirs, and would only waste their troops in vain.

"You all back down, I'll think about it!"

Zhang Ren took a deep breath, his eyes were a little cold, he waved his hand and directly pushed back the generals, standing alone in front of the camp, looking at the figure on the top of the wall, he was not reconciled.

"Zhuge Liang!!!"

Zhang Ren's hoarse voice was filled with cold killing intent: "I don't believe that you can really be so shrewd, so I'll take a gamble. If I lose, I'll throw my life here!"

……

The next day.

On the third day of the siege, when the morning sun shone on the earth, the Wu army in the city suddenly discovered that the Wei army outside Baimaguan had disappeared!

Wei Jun's camp was completely empty.

They seem to have retreated overnight!To be continued.

ps: The third update!

[Text Chapter 140 Dragon and Tiger Fight 21]

"Hahaha, they retreated!"

"Wei Jun has really retreated!"

"we won!"

"We have guarded the White Horse Pass, that's great!"

On the city wall of Baima Pass, all the soldiers of the Wu army who had survived the catastrophe looked at the open space outside the city, and couldn't help cheering loudly.

A mere regiment with thousands of soldiers and horses not only defended the White Horse Pass, but also wiped out [-] enemies, which is really impressive.

"We finally managed to defend the White Horse Pass!"

At this moment, the main general, Xu Sheng, also had bright eyes and joy in his heart.

At the beginning, he didn't even have the confidence to guard the White Horse Pass. He was just a dead horse as a living horse doctor. When there was no other way, he could only follow Zhuge Liang's way.

"This is a big trouble!"

Only Zhuge Liang stood quietly on the top of the city, wearing a scarf and a long robe, but he lacked the demeanor of the lonely city in the past two days, his face was pale, his eyes looked at the blank space outside the city, and his brows Twist into a Sichuan character.

"Guardian Zhuge, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help turning his head, looking at Zhuge Liang's pale expression, he was a little puzzled, and asked: "Now that the Wei army has retreated, why don't you feel happy at all?"

After this battle, he was convinced of Zhuge Liang.

He, Xu Sheng, has also read "36 Strategies" and the latest textbook "War Psychology" in the Jiangwu Hall. He asked himself that he has a little understanding of strategy and the mentality of the enemy generals, but he will never be able to play the empty city strategy like Zhuge Liang. So consummate.

If there was a fight, he asked himself that he could hold on to the city and fight the Wei army endlessly.

But he couldn't keep Guancheng.

"Commander Xu, how can things be so simple!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, and then said with a wry smile: "Zhang Ren is not a general with outstanding strategy, but he doesn't have much thought, and naturally he is not so easy to fool. If he chooses to confront me outside the city for three days, If he retreats and walks away again, it is a real retreat, but he actually retreats at this time, on the contrary, he is planning to fight with all his might!"

He used to be a minister in the same dynasty as Zhang Ren, and he knew this former Shu general very well.

Only by knowing himself and the enemy can he grasp Zhang Ren's mentality and use the empty city plan to hold off for two days.

But also knowing himself and the enemy, Zhuge Liang also knew very well that Zhang Ren's character was indomitable. He would never retreat until the last moment.

There is probably only one purpose.

That is to want Wu Jun in the city to relax his vigilance, and then fight a tough battle fiercely.

This is Zhang Ren.

Even if there are heavy soldiers ambushing in the city, he will fight to the death, and he will not retreat until there is no hope.

"Break the boat?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but gasped when he heard the words, he hurried up and asked in a low voice: "Inspector Zhuge, what do you mean to say that Zhang Ren is probably just pretending to withdraw his troops, and then when our defenses are lax? , kill us a carbine?"

"It's not a possibility, but a certainty!"

Zhuge Liang's face was stern, his eyes flashed a flash of affirmation, and he asked: "Commander Xu, I asked you to store the food well before, how is the food stored?"

The worst outcome that he had already prepared in the morning could not be kept in Guancheng.

In this Guancheng, all the others are floating clouds, except for one, food is the most critical, if you can't keep the food, you can't keep the 10,000+ main force on the front line.

So he used the empty city plan to hold off for two days, not to defend the city, but to delay time and store food.

Xu Sheng replied: "Governor Zhuge, we have tried our best in the past two days and two nights, but we have to fight and rest, and only about [-]% of the food that can be stored is now buried in the ground. Breaking through the city and entering, it will definitely not be too early."

"There is [-]% of the food, which is not bad. Not to mention the frontline army fought for a few months before, at least the frontline army can be guaranteed to retreat safely. You immediately burn the remaining food and all the armaments, leaving nothing behind, and then we all withdraw from the White Horse Pass. Give them a pass!"

Zhuge Liang said firmly.

"Inspector Zhuge, do you really want to burn it?"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't bear it: "It's not the logistics department that raised the money, but Governor Zhuge gritted his teeth and resisted the pressure from the cabinet to raise the money for us from the Governor's Mansion of Bashu!"

"Let me ask you, can you remove all these things in one day?"

"No!" Xu Sheng shook his head.

"So are you willing to keep all these armaments for Zhang Ren?"

"Of course not!"

"Then besides destroying these armaments, is there any other way to keep these armaments?"

"there is none left!"

Xu Sheng was asked three times in a row by Zhuge Liang, and suddenly he was like an eggplant beaten by frost.
