I guess they could when PERSONAL trauma is involved... Can't see a true "machine like" person getting PTSD from guilt for example of ep8. That her squad is still all combat ready is just because Tanya is shielding them from the guilt by disassociating them from the consequences. An actual amazing leadership ability. Also the casulty rate of her squad is minimal so that in of itself lends to soldiers becoming more loyal to your command.

Edit: oh, never mind. it's actually the same guy. at least the version you mentioned. whereas the originator of the empty fort tactic was probably a man called zhao yun, the version with the flute playing commander is based on zhuge lian. also in this story the two commanders knew each other, and the invading commander knew that zhuge lian NEVER took any risks in his strategies, explaining why he was so convinced it was an ambush and he didn't send in anyone to check. it is however noteworthy that both incidents, the open fort tactic as well as the arrow gathering, are mostly fictional and based on a romantacied novel, rather than real world events.
