Chapter 713: Suffering from Lack of Experience

"go!"

Zhao Gongming gritted his teeth and directly issued the order to retreat. Shebishi and Xiagengshi also knew that it was not appropriate to stay for long at this moment.

The battlefield is not a place to show brotherhood. At this time, whoever can leave is the best!
Rather than staying and dying with their brothers, they all retreated with Zhao Gongming.

After the departure of Zhao Gongming and others, the soldiers who maintained the "Wei Shu Square Formation" gradually lost their core command and the formation began to become disorganized.

But the remaining soldiers continued to hold their positions and kept the Yellow Turban Army firmly in place!
Their mission has been completed. Now, what they have to do is to use their lives to buy more time for Zhao Gongming and others.

On the battlefield, the figures of Wuzu were becoming fewer and fewer. They used their flesh and blood to build an indestructible line of defense, which made many Yellow Turban troops retreat.

Finally, when the last soldier fell, the entire battlefield seemed to be shaken.

Eight hundred soldiers, not a single one survived!

"Alas, what a pity for these warriors!"

Zhu Jiuyin looked at the wreckage on the battlefield and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

At this time, Zhu Jiuyin stood on the battlefield, with silvery-white energy flowing slowly around his body like a quiet lake under the moonlight, but his eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions that were difficult to detect.

Zhu Jiuyin's martial power was too strong, and Sun Bin's ambush was too clever.

Zhao Gongming and others led the 3,000 Hengzhou troops deep into Wuzhou, along with Wu Qi's 800 Wuzu.

In the end, they were completely defeated by the Yellow Turban Army under Zhu Wen, whose willpower and combat effectiveness were weak, and they could only flee in panic with dozens of defeated soldiers and Shebi Shi and Xia Gengshi.

At this time, Zhu Jiuyin, who was still on the battlefield, looked at the fleeing backs of Zhao Gongming and others. He did not have much joy in his heart, and even felt a little regret for not being able to wipe out the enemy completely.

It was his first time to officially fight on the battlefield and he overestimated his own means and strength.

I originally thought that if I took action, I should be able to easily capture Zhao Gongming, Shebisi and others.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming was really good at it. Although he could suppress several people instantly, he was unable to split himself due to the desperate delay of the eight hundred soldiers, and the other people around him could not stop Zhao Gongming and others at all.

Although he was the blood C, his teammates were too weak. As soon as he was distracted, there was no one around him who could stop Zhao Gongming and help him hold down Zhao Gongming and the others. Otherwise, he would have been confident that he would have taken down a few of them.

Although Sun Bin made certain responses, due to his excessive trust in Zhu Jiuyin's martial arts, the preparations he made and the strength of the private soldiers of the aristocratic families around him were not enough to support him in stopping Zhao Gongming and others who were trying to break out!
In the end, Zhao Gongming and Shebi Shi, who fought desperately to break through, used their own strength to forcibly tear open a hole.

To put it bluntly, there is actually nothing wrong with Zhu Jiuyin and Sun Bin's strategy this time.

However, they overestimated their own military capabilities and underestimated the strength that Zhao Gongming and others could unleash in desperate situations.

As a result, even though all arrangements had been made and Zhao Gongming and others were tightly trapped, a hole was forcibly torn open!
It was obvious that Zhu Jiuyin’s own martial arts power was off the charts, but he had overlooked the might that a war god could unleash on the battlefield!

He has always called himself a wise man, and he clearly has incredible strength, but what he trusts most is not his own martial arts ability.

"Alas, they finally escaped."

Zhu Jiuyin whispered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty battlefield with a bit of loneliness, and the "Time Staff" in his hand shook gently.

All around, the Yellow Turban Army's soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield and sorting out the mess, but Zhu Jiuyin seemed to be isolated from it all, immersed in his own thoughts.

In this battle, the joint operations of the Yellow Turban Army and the coalition forces of the aristocratic families should have been a perfect plan.

Zhu Jiuyin was full of confidence and thought that with his own martial arts and the magic of the "Time Staff", coupled with Sun Bin's carefully designed ambush, Zhao Gongming and others would be unable to escape.

However, the variables on the battlefield are always beyond expectations, especially when the opponent also has impressive strength and strong will.

Although Zhao Gongming, the general of the Hengzhou Army, did not leave much impression in Zhu Jiuyin's eyes before, today's battle made him look at him with new eyes.

What surprised Zhu Jiuyin even more was that when the battle was in a desperate situation, the potential that Zhao Gongming and others had unleashed actually allowed them to find a glimmer of hope at the most critical moment. "Did I underestimate the enemy?"

Zhu Jiuyin reflected secretly in his heart, recalling the desperate resistance of Shebi Shi and Xia Geng Shi during the battle.

Especially the eight hundred warriors, their bravery and fearlessness towards death moved even Zhu Jiuyin.

Those warriors wearing heavy armor, holding bows and long swords on their waists defended their commander's safety with their lives until the very last moment.

Zhu Jiuyin took a deep breath and admitted that when he formulated the strategy, he did not fully consider the strength that Zhao Gongming and others would unleash in desperate situations.

Even those seemingly ordinary Hengzhou troops behind Zhao Gongming and others showed amazing combat power at the critical moment of life and death.

By utilizing terrain, formation and tacit cooperation among each other, they repeatedly resolved the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, and finally won a chance for Zhao Gongming and others to break out.

"Wei Shu's formation..."

Zhu Jiuyin muttered the name in a low voice, with a complex look in his eyes. He actually knew something about this popular formation among military strategists.

However, although this formation is not that simple, if you compare it with those military formations and Taoist formations, it is just so-so in terms of sophistication.

However, such an ancient military formation can still exert such tremendous power in today's wars, which shows that Wu Qi's military talent is extraordinary.

The sacrifice of the eight hundred soldiers added a touch of tragic grandeur to the battle.

"Perhaps this is what war is like. There is never a final outcome."

Zhu Jiuyin sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. Although the Yellow Turban Army won today, this victory was not perfect in Zhu Jiuyin's view.

At this time, Sun Bin hurried over with a look of apology and regret on his face.

"Brother Jiuyin, I..."

He hesitated to speak, obviously feeling guilty for not being able to completely stop Zhao Gongming and others.

"Don't blame yourself, Brother Boling. War is full of uncertainties. Although we have made full preparations, we cannot predict every detail."

"The reason Zhao Gongming and the others were able to escape was due to their abilities."

Zhu Jiuyin waved his hand gently, interrupting Sun Bin's words.

"But we had a chance..."

Sun Bin felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he could still not hide the disappointment between his brows.

He was hit hard in the first place when he went into battle, and now he is a little at a loss.

Ultimately, they suffered from a lack of experience. They had never truly witnessed the power of a war god on the battlefield, so naturally they made some misjudgments.

After they have experienced a few more wars in the future, they will naturally not make such low-level mistakes again.

Moreover, the reason Zhao Gongming and his companions escaped this time was not mainly because of problems with their plan, but because Wu Qi's back-up plan worked.

If Wu Qi had not left behind the 800 soldiers for Zhao Gongming and others as a backup, no matter how good Zhao Gongming and others were at fighting, they would have been defeated without Wu Qi's 800 soldiers to stop them for a while.

They have to stay if they should.

Therefore, rather than saying that they were not prepared this time, there was a loophole in their plan.

It would be better to say that the two of them were indirectly defeated by Wu Qi, the second-best military strategist with a basic commander level of 104.
