ps: Chapter Anti-theft, correct it later...

Naturally, he was also shaken by his combat strategy. Sima's previous belief that only by adopting a strong offensive posture against the defending enemy at Shimen Pass would inevitably collapse its defense and take down Shimen Pass.

But in fact, Sima Shi obviously underestimated the command ability of the enemy's defenders and the enemy's fighting spirit for tenacious battles. The countless attacks failed, which made Sima Shi feel a little overwhelmed. Even a small Shimen Pass could not be taken down. How could he march into Shangdang, conquer Jinyang, and quell the rebellion in Bingzhou?

Sima Shi finally accepted Zhong Hui's suggestion and suspended the military operation tonight. When the Sima army retreated like a tide, the night finally ushered in a quiet moment.

Although Sima Jun was a rotation of attacks, it launched countless attacks within three days, and Sima Jun was also very tired. He thought that the battle was going to be on the night of light tonight, and the teams of Sima Jun, who were on the offensive, couldn't help but look bitter. Fortunately, the latest order was to suspend the attack, which made Sima Jun's soldiers breathe a little relieved. This time, they could finally have a good sleep.

Sima Shi was extremely tired. Although he vowed to take down Shimen Pass before he could rest, he was obviously in the end. He arranged for Chen Qian to guard the front line. If he found any abnormal movement, he needed to inform him.

The retreat of Sima's army also made the Bingzhou army, which had been under pressure, finally breathed.

For Du Yu, this is still important. He had exchanged with Cao Liang before the war, and Du Yu needed to stick to it for three days before he could give up Shimen Pass.

Now that the three days have expired, it is the time when the Bingzhou army is preparing to retreat, but Sima's army has been continuously launching offensives, making Du Yu's retreat a "difficulty".

Although Du Yu did not endure for three days like Sima Shi, his continuous combat made him exhausted. If he voluntarily retreated from Shimen Pass at this moment, he would inevitably be pursued by Sima's army. The Bingzhou army, which had been fighting continuously for three days and nights, would be difficult for him to escape from the pursuit of Sima's army.

This withdrawal is also a science!

Although the Sima army stopped attacking tonight, it does not mean that the Bingzhou army can retreat with peace of mind. The Sima army will definitely send people to monitor the movements of the Bingzhou army. Once the Bingzhou army is found to have evacuated from Shimen Pass, they will definitely launch a crazy pursuit.

If the Bingzhou army loses such a dangerous situation as Shimen Pass and is pursued on the way to retreat, the losses will be heavier than guarding Shimen Pass.

In order to defend Shimen Pass, the Bingzhou army had already paid a lot of casualties, with nearly one-third of the people killed. If they were allowed to be attacked by the enemy during the retreat, then there would be few people who escaped alive.

How to withdraw the troops is the safest? Du Yu thought for a long time and finally came up with a plan.

He ordered dozens of Sima's prisoners to be taken up. These prisoners of war were captured by the Bingzhou army when they were too late to retreat during the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides. The men were more or less injured. Some were holding one leg, some were hanging their arms, and they all looked fearful. I wonder what the intention was Du Yu to bring them over in the middle of the night?

No matter from that perspective, at this time the chief general of the Bingzhou Army brought them to the front line, the prisoners were naturally frightened and looked at each other, but guessed the next move of the Bingzhou Army.

Du Yu ordered people to find dozens of war drums, and each one was in possession.

These prisoners were even more confused. They really couldn't imagine what Du Yu was going to do?

Du Yu ordered people to cover the eyes of these prisoners of war, and then each of them gave them a drumstick, so that they could beat the drums desperately. If anyone dared to slack off, Du Yu claimed that he would beheaded first.

When they came to beat the drums in the middle of the night, not only were these prisoners of war stunned, but even the Bingzhou soldiers around them were in a mess. I wonder what Du Yu's intention was?

War drums are indispensable in the army. In ancient times, the high and low notes of drums and the sparseness of drums were used to command the army. When fighting, the drums were beaten and the soldiers were stopped when the drums were beaten, so the movement was called drum movement. The drum sound also stimulated morale, but the drums that were not sleeping in the middle of the night made people feel deeply inexplicable.

Although these prisoners did not understand Du Yu's intentions, none of them dared to resist because they knew the consequences of rejection, not to mention that they had no reason to refuse, and they just beat the drums and did not let them work hard.

The chaotic drum sounded, which naturally alarmed Chen Qian, who was patrolling outside the pass. At this moment, it was about the third update of the Tianjiao period. The Bingzhou army suddenly beat the drum. Is it going to launch an attack?

Chen Qian quickly denied this idea. If the Bingzhou army had attacked in the middle of the night, it should have sent troops quietly. How could it be a big fan?

So Chen Qian sent a group of troops to go to Shimenguan to test the situation, but was shot by a random arrow and forced to return.

The chaotic drum sounded constantly, and even Sima Shi, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened. He ordered people to find out what the situation was, but the result was unknown. No one could figure out what the Bingzhou Army meant to beat the drum in the middle of the night, unless the Bingzhou Army's chief general was nervous.

The drum beats without consistency are noisy and noisy. Listening to the drum sounds makes people feel upset. So some people suggested that the Bingzhou Army's move was purely to disturb the Sima Army's rest. The battles have caused Sima soldiers to be exhausted. After a few days of fighting, the Sima Army's sleep quality will be greatly reduced, and tomorrow's attack will be listless.

Perhaps this is the real intention of the Bingzhou Army to beat the drum in the middle of the night, and there is no other meaning except disgusting people.

After understanding the intention of the Bingzhou Army, Sima Shi fell asleep again. In order not to be disturbed by this noise, he deliberately stuffed two strips of cloth into his ears.

No one from Sima Jun paid attention to the drum sound anymore, even though the noise was quite tormenting.

At this time, Du Yu finally issued an order, and all the troops from the Shooting Camp retreated from Shimen Pass and retreated northward without a single one.

As for the dozens of prisoners of war who were blinded, they were still beating the war drums there. Each of them was holding a sharp spear on their backs. They were beating the drums desperately, even if their arms were too sleepy to lift, they had to continue to beat them with all their might, for fear that they would be stabbed to death by the spear behind them when they stopped.

The Bingzhou soldiers who were guarding these drummers were the last to evacuate, and they did not forget to threaten them a few more words before leaving.

Until dawn, the drums were intermittent and kept ringing.
