Tactics to me

[ann]

Bai Guan led Wen Luan's Ji Attack Force to the city of Shanggu on a bright morning in June 206. In the city people were confused. What would happen to them if the invaders conquered the city? Would they be razed to the ground? Would they be enslaved? They were very afraid. Kiao Nan was not a very brave man and he was a touch lazy. However he was a popular ruler among the people as well as the nobility around Shanggu. Many people rushed to his side when the invaders appeared.

Sighing he wrung his hands and looked around. Catching sight of Feng Ye and Puyang Lou he called them over and said, "You two are very good battle leaders! Gather the men - you will lead them out and I will provide support and assistance myself!" They agreed readily and an army was formed and led out to the field. Feng Ye and Puyang Lou did their very best while Kiao Nan jeered at the enemy from a safer distance.

The fighting was fierce and, at one point, the defenders felt that they might have turned the tide! But soon after the lines of communication failed as more men were killed and all three officers had to work hard to re-establish their command structures on the field. The Ji Attack force was still very well organized and, despite the small setback, undiscouraged.

Ji Attack Force win the engagement - More tactics!

The two armies faced again after a brief respite for more of the same. Neither side altered their tactics much and the war dragged on. The Shanggu Defense force was smaller and the men were disheartened over the invasion of their home. Eventually the last few ran away deserting their officers.
