Chapter 234 Strict offensive and defensive laws(2/2)
Another day.
In the early morning, when the sky was bright and the autumn dew had not yet dried, Guan Yu rode his horse slowly, followed by three hundred warriors from the countryside who looked tired and disgraced.
Those who were selected by Guan Yu to practice running tactics were unlucky for eight lifetimes.
In the past two days, Guan Yu led his men around the fifteen-mile radius of Wen'an County. The daily mileage was at least sixty miles, and they covered one hundred and twenty miles in two days.
In the past two days, while leading the troops, Guan Yu also led people to inspect the areas near Wen'an County to see if there were any traces of the invincible army. On the way, Guan Yu encountered many dilapidated villages.
When the military disaster comes, the deserted villages are ruined and desolate, which makes people feel how difficult people's livelihood is.
It was agreed that there would be two days of training, so at midnight the next day, Guan Yu led his troops back overnight.
Wen'an County is near.
Guan Yu rushed back early. Before Liu Bei and Li Mengxi got up, Guan Yu dismissed his subordinates, and his own soldiers took the horses to feed. Guan Yu walked to the city on foot.
In the morning light, in the moats on the left and right sides of the suspension bridge, two huge vehicles were leaning.
Guan Yu looked at the huge siege spine as big as a house and was slightly stunned.
Just seeing the greatly changed appearance of the siege spine, Guan Yu knew that Meng Xi and his elder brother had been training for two days, and the results must be remarkable.
When the sun rose a little, Guan Yu went to see Liu Bei. In the middle camp, he saw that the heads of the soldiers passing by were swollen like pig heads. Guan Yu was shocked again.
Is this... internal strife in the military?
Liu Bei had just finished dressing and was putting on his coat when he saw Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, you are back." Liu Bei smiled and said hello.
"Yeah." Guan Yu responded.
"Brother, I saw that the siege cone in front of the city is as big as the roof. Why is it so huge?"
When Guan Yu asked, Liu Bei laughed, "I knew you would ask."
"Meng Xi and I have been training day and night these past two days. We have really lived up to our time. We have learned many tactics. When we have time during the day, I will tell you in detail."
According to Guan Yu's understanding of his eldest brother, training military formations and strategies is actually not his eldest brother's specialty.
It is estimated that most of the offensive and defensive tactics obtained were Xi'er's ideas.
Guan Yu underestimated Liu Bei, not to mention that the siege spine was improved to perfection under Liu Bei's supervision, and Liu Bei also had many suggestions for offensive and defensive tactics. The tactics were completed by him and Li Mengxi together.
——
After hurriedly preparing meals in the morning, and after each battalion including the prisoners had eaten, a small group of people from the Chinese army camp were led by Zhang Fei to the city.
Li Mengxi took his younger brother to find Liu Bei, and happened to bump into this group of people.
"Third General, what are you doing with these people?" Li Mengxi greeted Zhang Fei.
"These are the people of Wen'an County who were kidnapped by thieves. After two days of screening, they were sent to stay in the county." Zhang Fei said briefly and led the people towards the city.
No wonder, Li Mengxi has always wondered about one thing, that is, although many buildings in the city have been destroyed, there are still some good buildings that can be lived in. I don’t know why Liu Bei would rather station his entire army outside the city, while the city is empty and there is no one left.
Can't live.
Now I understand more or less that Liu Bei is unwilling to touch people's houses.
Although the Yellow Turbans occupied the city, everything in the house must have been swept away. But even if it was an empty house, Liu Bei did not want to disturb it.
Later, the Yue family's army froze to death without demolishing their houses, and starved to death without robbing food. Liu Bei's rebel army did not have such a high level of consciousness, but they would rather station outside the city than disturb the people.
Liu Bei is truly benevolent and righteous.
The Yellow Turbans took the refugees and captured Wen'an County. All the soldiers defending the county were probably dead, but most ordinary people should have survived.
Li Mengxi looked at the long queue and the people carrying bedding and ragged clothes passing by.
