Chapter 29 General!

Seeing Liu Xie’s arrangement, Dong Zhuo on the opposite side also shook his head calmly.

The reason why the men on standby are called “on standby” is because they have the key mission of deciding the outcome of the battlefield. They can be said to be the backup plan of every general.

Now that Liu Xie has used this backup plan in advance, it is basically equivalent to losing half the battle.

“Your Majesty may be intelligent, but he is not knowledgeable in military affairs after all.”

Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu: “Except for the soldiers on standby, push forward all the soldiers. This battle is already a foregone conclusion.”

Up to now, Dong Zhuo still has six groups of soldiers available: soldiers who can break into the enemy’s formation, brave soldiers, strong soldiers, dull soldiers, lucky soldiers, and soldiers on standby.

It can also be seen that the six groups of soldiers left behind by Dong Zhuo are the elite in the camp.

Except for the men on standby, all the people are pushed forward together, and there is a real force of earth-shattering and mountain-destroying!

However, the elite troops on Liu Xie’s side were held back early by the rest of Dong Zhuo’s troops.

The remaining men who braved the swords, men who were brave enough to fight, men who were willing to fight to the death, men who were lucky enough to be useful, and men who were bound to die were all just second-rate stuff. How could they resist Dong Zhuo’s elite troops?

Not to mention, the soldiers on Dong Zhuo’s side were not only more elite, but also had one more group of soldiers than Liu Xie’s side, leaving a reserve army.

In such a situation, not to mention Dong Zhuo, even Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, two veteran generals who had been through many battles, thought that Liu Xie had no chance of winning at all.

If there is anyone who has not given up, it is probably only Liu Xie!

“Wenyuan, pass on my transfer order!”

In the army there are those who are extremely brave, dare not die and are willing to be injured. They are gathered together as a soldier and are called the men who brave the sword!

When the king’s ministers lost their power and wanted to regain their merit, they gathered together as a group and called them the warriors who fight to the death!

There are those who have escaped punishment and those who want to escape shame, so they gather together as a soldier and are called the lucky ones!

There are those who are poor and angry, and who want to please their hearts, and they gather together as a soldier, and are called the men who are bound to die!

Although it was just in the palace, although it was just on the “chessboard”, as these four groups of soldiers rushed up together, it seemed as if there was boundless murderous intent!
This scene made Dong Zhuo, who was already a little disappointed, suddenly widen his eyes.

He looked up and glanced at Liu Xie opposite him in disbelief.

“Your Majesty…was it intentional or was it an accident?”

When Liu Xie deployed his troops, he always sent the best and most elite soldiers to the front line.

Later, when facing the enemy attack from the flank, he sent the second best army to resist.

The remaining regular troops were not the soldiers with the sharpest swords and the thickest armor.

But Dong Zhuo forgot something.

The remaining soldiers who braved the swords, fought to the death, relied on their strength, and were determined to die, although they were not elite, but when it came to morale, they were not inferior to any other army!
In fact, these four armies are the four with the highest morale!

It is better to have those with high morale as backup rather than those with well-equipped equipment as backup!

Moreover, when these four armies appear on the battlefield together, the role they play is far more than just one plus one equals two.

They rushed towards the battlefield like endless waves, and resisted Dong Zhuo’s attack that was as heavy as a mountain falling on their heads!
Even the elite soldiers sent by Liu Xie before, seeing countless comrades in the rear risking their lives to charge forward, they also unconsciously surged with strength, and stood in the center of the enemy army like a pillar, resisting the storm.

“interesting!”

Dong Zhuo leaned forward slightly, tapping his fingers on the railing in front of him, watching the situation on the battlefield with interest.

“He used morale to make up for the difference in combat power, and mobilized all the soldiers in the formation, causing a landslide and tsunami… If I didn’t know that it was His Majesty’s first time commanding troops, I would have thought that he had indeed been on the battlefield a few times.”

But unfortunately, such a formation had no effect at all on Dong Zhuo.

Morale is a double-edged sword. At first it is strong, then it is weak, and at third it is exhausted.

If the storm created by Liu Xie failed to defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, what awaited Liu Xie would still be a disastrous defeat!
“Fengxian, order the soldiers on standby to go up and provide support. Remember to tell them to focus on defense and help the other troops stabilize their formations. Do not advance rashly.”

Dong Zhuo, who was about to launch an attack, decided to stand still when faced with the violent storm caused by Liu Xie.

Maintaining the status quo.

As long as he can hold on, Liu Xie will inevitably be the one who fails.

And no matter what, Dong Zhuo is now in the upper hand. If he only defends and does not attack, the soldiers Liu Xie sends forward will not be able to break through Dong Zhuo’s main camp.

The facts were just as Dong Zhuo expected.

However, after a quarter of an hour, the soldiers under Liu Xie had completely lost all their strength.

Even the soldiers who rushed up from behind were weak in their limbs, and their movements were obviously slower than those of Dong Zhuo’s army on the opposite side.

As for the elite troops at the front, they had been scattered and had lost their organization.

Seeing this scene, Dong Zhuo knew that he had won the chess game!

We won completely and there is no risk of losing the war!
Dong Zhuo stood up slowly and said, “Your Majesty’s desperate strategy just now may have worked wonders, but it was too reckless.”

“When marching or fighting, you must avoid taking risks and acting on impulse. Your Majesty, please be aware of this.”

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also pointed out that Liu Xie’s biggest mistake was:

“Your Majesty should not have used the soldiers on standby in advance, leaving the army at the front without support. Otherwise, the situation would be a crushing defeat.”

Liu Xie also stood up and said frankly: “The Grand Master is indeed well versed in the art of war. I have learned a lot from him today.”

“But if we only consider today’s game, I’m afraid the Grand Master has already lost!”

Lost?

Dong Zhuo thought that Liu Xie was a child and wanted to cheat by overturning the chessboard.

After all, it seems that cheating has become a tradition in the Liu family, such as the Han chess master Liu Qi…

But suddenly, he seemed to suddenly remember something!
With his hands on the railing, Dong Zhuo stuck his head out and counted carefully several times!

Nine!
Only nine!
On the battlefield, although the soldiers of Liu Xie’s side were already dying and seemed to be completely crushed by Dong Zhuo’s soldiers in the next moment, there were indeed only nine groups of soldiers appearing on the battlefield at the moment!

Dong Zhuo was startled and suddenly looked from both sides of the battlefield.

He remembered!
There is a group of soldiers that Liu Xie has not used yet!

There are those who can reach great heights, walk lightly and run well, and they are gathered together as a group, and are called——

champion!

At the edge of the battlefield, Liu Xie’s champion soldiers had secretly bypassed the battlefield and arrived behind Dong Zhuo at some point!

Dong Zhuo was startled, and immediately wanted to mobilize his soldiers to provide cover.

But all of Dong Zhuo’s soldiers were attacking head-on, so how could there be any extra people to help?

It’s not that there were no soldiers on Dong Zhuo’s side who realized the problem and wanted to retreat to cover. But once they were dragged into the battlefield, how could they easily withdraw?
When several of Liu Xie’s champions stood in front of Lu Bu, Liu Xie smiled slightly, raised his right hand, and pointed at Dong Zhuo——

“General!”
