In a sense, the so-called marching and fighting is also about understanding people's hearts.
If Pang Juan had kept martial law in the camp, his soldiers would have been exhausted.
Sooner or later, you will face collapse due to physical exhaustion.
After all, they are human beings, not invincible gods.
Yue Fei was sure that they would rest and recuperate today.
After several days of fighting, if we don’t recover our strength quickly, how can we participate in the subsequent battles?
On the stage of selecting generals.
Yue Fei began to give orders, with the archers as the first echelon, shooting all the arrows they carried into the Chu army tent.
Just last night, all the crossbowmen were ready, wrapping the arrows with linen and soaking them in flaming oil.
When shooting an arrow, just a little spark is enough to burn the entire arrow.
Of course, not all arrows were dipped in incendiary oil, and they needed to keep some for future use.
Next is the cavalry charge, then the sword and shield soldiers and other deployments.
After completing all preparations, the soldiers of this new army set out on their journey.
This battle is a beginning for them.
If this is the beginning, the final result will be failure and disastrous defeat.
Then this 200,000-strong army will probably suffer repeated defeats in the distant future.
Therefore, the new army must fight with great momentum in its first battle.
In the Jin army camp.
Pang Juan was discussing matters with his generals in the tent.
He looked at everyone and slowly said, "This general has already requested reinforcements. Whether they can come depends on the opinions of the two marshals."
At this point, from a general's perspective, there are too many risks in continuing to attack Shuozhou.
Pang Juan could foresee this, and Li Mu and Lian Po could certainly have thought of it as well.
"If reinforcements don't arrive, should we fight or retreat?" asked a Jin army general.
Pang Juan replied in a deep voice, "We've been attacking Shuozhou for many days, and now we're withdrawing like this. Are you willing to accept this?"
"What does the general mean?" someone asked puzzledly.
He said bluntly, "We still have one more opportunity to attack the city. After the army has rested, if the Qin army has not yet made any move against us, we will attack the city overnight. If we still cannot break through, we will have no choice but to withdraw."
Hearing the voice, the soldiers looked at each other and nodded one after another.
Yes, after attacking the city for such a long time, who would be willing to withdraw just like that?
Simply staying here will increase a lot of uncertainty and even put the army in danger.
"Then follow the general's advice. Wait until the army has rested and then attack the city under cover of darkness. Victory or defeat will depend on this one move!"
If we cannot break through, we will have to withdraw. Doesn’t that mean we have suffered a defeat?
Just then.
A soldier hurried in from outside the tent and knelt on one knee. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a soldier shouting:
"Soldiers from that battalion? Didn't you see the generals were in meeting? Now you're barging in rashly. Could it be that the enemy has broken in?"
As soon as the words fell.
Suddenly, an arrow shot into the tent and landed on the desk in front of a soldier.
The soldier who broke in hurriedly said, "General, the enemy has indeed broken in!"
Hearing the sound, all the soldiers stood up suddenly.
Led by Pang Juan, they walked out of the tent and in an instant they saw countless rockets and ordinary arrows falling into their own camp.
Some soldiers were hit by arrows because they did not dodge.
There were also many tents that were on fire.
Many soldiers in the tent were fast asleep, and they only realized it when the fire was about to spread to them.
For a moment, the entire Jin army camp was in chaos. Everyone was talking about all sorts of things, but it seemed that everyone was at a loss.
"Fire! Put out the fire quickly!"
"Help me! Help me!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Be alert! Be alert!"
"Shield soldiers, where are the shield soldiers?"
“…”
Seeing this, Pang Juan frowned tightly and shouted, "All troops, assemble! Assemble! Don't panic! Don't panic!"
When the enemy attacks the camp, the best strategy is to gather the soldiers who are in disarray and prepare for a counterattack.
The worst option is to escape.
In short, we cannot fight alone, otherwise it would be no different from seeking death.
Many generals standing beside him spoke one after another:
"General, this place is extremely dangerous, please evacuate immediately!"
"General! We should retreat first!"
“…”
It would have been fine if the soldiers were in disarray, but as generals, they did not think of repelling the enemy but only wanted to retreat.
When Pang Juan heard their voices, he was almost so angry that he got a cerebral hemorrhage.
After a pause, he angrily shouted, "What are you all doing here? You are all soldiers of the Great Jin. What you should do now is return to your camps, gather your troops, and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
As they were talking, several arrows were shot towards them.
Fortunately, the shield soldiers arrived in time.
After feeling the anger of their commander, the generals of Jin State returned to their proper positions.
For a moment, all the soldiers of the Jin army seemed to have found a backbone. They began to remain calm and ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Every soldier of the Jin army has been through hundreds of battles and has undergone rigorous military training. As long as they remain calm, they can handle a situation like this.
However, after several days of fighting, he hadn't had a good rest and was feeling a little irritable and exhausted.
At this time, Yue Fei was standing on a hill. When he saw the entire Jin army camp engulfed in flames, he understood that the result he wanted had been achieved.
