Chapter 2131 fierce battle is still to come
If the loss of Yingzui Cliff caused the morale of the Shu army to be unstable and morale declined, then today's battle will be of great benefit to enhancing the morale of the Shu army and boosting the morale of the Shu army. Looking at the retreating Wei army in a panic, the soldiers of the Shu army were cheering and extremely excited at this moment.
Although today's victory is not worth mentioning, for the Shu army, which has been defeated repeatedly, such victory is enough to make them proud.
The loss of Yingzui Cliff was like a huge haze, covering the hearts of the Shu army. All the soldiers were in a very heavy mood. Although it was inevitable that Yingzui Cliff could not be defended, the loss of Yingzui was even shaken by the determination of the Shu army to hold the Guanting, which led to a panic situation and an unprecedented depression.
Simalun knew that if you want to boost morale, it was not as simple as shouting a few slogans. If you want the soldiers to get rid of fear and increase their confidence, you can only win a victory and let their own witness that the Wei army is not invincible, so that the Shu soldiers can truly restore their fighting spirit.
But it was so difficult to defeat the Wei army. Sima Lun had fought with the Wei army many times. Except for the first time in Yuzhou, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Wei army's light troops to advance, Sima Lun won a big victory in all the remaining battles. Sima Lun could be said to have suffered a defeat and was defeated thousands of miles away. In the end, he lost all the territory of the Sima family in Wei State, and he was forced to surrender to Shu, so he temporarily gained a place to live.
The rapid loss of the Eagle-billed Cliff was a heavy blow to Simalun. This battle of the Huting Pavilion was also crucial for Simalun. If the Huting Pavilion could not be defended, the Xiling would be over. If Xiling was eventually lost, Simalun's great cause of revenge would become a bubble.
So no matter what the situation occurs, Simalun must do his best to complete the task of guarding the chandelier.
The loss of the Eagle-billed Cliff brought endless pressure to Simalun. The anxious people's hearts and the sluggish morale all cast a thick layer of haze on the prospect of the Battle of the King. If this situation cannot be reversed in a short period of time, the Battle of the King is likely to be difficult to maintain.
The only way to solve the current dilemma is to break the enemy's fog battle. The Wei army tasted the sweetness of the fog battle in the Battle of Eagle Bible Cliff, and Simalun had no doubt that in the next battle, the Wei army would do the same and continue to look for opportunities to attack in the fog.
The Huating is surrounded by mountains and is surrounded by rivers, with abundant water vapor. In the autumn and winter, there will be no foggy weather, so only the Wei army will stay for a few more days, so it must be a foggy day.
If this hidden danger cannot be completely solved, then the lessons of the Eagle-billed Cliff will be repeated. It is no different to dream to guard the Bing Pavilion.
Just when Sima Lun was worried, he unexpectedly discovered that Dubo Gao Yang and the team leader Chen San were chatting during the inspection. The content involved was the Battle of Eagle Bible. Sima Lun immediately seized this opportunity keenly and learned from Gao Yang that the way to crack the fog battle was to use bamboo whistle to transmit the sound to the enemy.
The bamboo whistle was equivalent to the Shu army having an extra eye in the fog. Sima Lun was overjoyed and immediately summoned dozens of soldiers who could blow the bamboo whistle and handed them over to the commander of the military Hou Gao Yang.
Gao Yang only trained these soldiers for a day, so he let them master the unified whistle commands and express the message through the length of the whistle. For example, the long sound indicates the enemy's direction, and the short sound indicates the distance. This combination of length and shortness is equivalent to marking the enemy a direction. The Shu army archers on the position can use this direction information to accurately strike the enemy.
It is very easy for sentries to hide in the fog. They will be arranged to ambush and disguise in advance. With the cover of heavy fog, even if the Wei army reaches a close position, they will almost never be able to find these sentries.
On the other hand, sentries can distinguish the direction of the Wei army through footsteps or other sounds. Where the fog is slightly lighter, you can see it even when it is slightly lighter.
Usually, sentries will whistle and alert at a distance of twenty or thirty steps away from the Wei army, and then evacuate quickly after whistle blowing.
The path of their evacuation was determined in advance. Even if it was foggy, it would not hit trees or stones. Then they would retreat to the designated position, wait for the Wei army to approach, and warn again.
During the entire battle process, the sentries firmly occupied the initiative and almost led the Wei army's nose. The Wei army was also constantly searching for these sentries, trying to clear out the existence that threatened them.
But it is almost impossible to achieve this goal in the thick fog. Although the Wei army is crowded, these sentries are fighting individually, and their mobility is too strong. They are all slippery like loaches. With the thick fog as a cover, they do not give the Wei army a chance to attack.
The hidden positions of the sentries were very hidden. If the Wei army wanted to discover these sentries, they had to wait until they blew the whistle. However, after blew the whistle, it only took a few breaths to see the rainy arrows coming to the sky. It was too late for the Wei army to pursue the sentries.
Although the Wei army could also use crossbows and bows to chase, in the heavy fog, they could not lock in the target at all. They could only shoot in a rough direction, and the probability of success was almost slim.
Although the Wei army also hit several targets, the Shu army arranged enough sentries, and losing a few would not affect the overall situation. As long as the Wei army entered the range of the Shu army's bows and arrows, they would also whistle and warn.
This style of play left the Wei army almost helpless. In the fog, the attacking side had the advantage, and the defense side was passive, because the defense side could never know when the attacking side would appear.
However, the appearance of the sentry made the offensive and defensive sides completely change the situation. The attacking side exposed their whereabouts and suffered repeated blows. The defense side was waiting for it. As long as he heard the whistle, he would use a series of arrows to follow the direction given by the whistle, which made the Wei army lose its temper.
No matter whether the fog dissipated or not, the Wei army had no chance to break through the positions of the Shu army again, so retreating became the only choice for the Shu army.
However, the Wei army was defeated only temporarily, and they would still make a comeback, and even greater fierce battles were waiting for the Shu army.
