Chapter 447 The cruel world, the sword roars in the sky
When Ma Chao came to the back of the camp wall, he saw thousands of Wei troops pushing hundreds of vehicles towards his camp.
After occupying a high position in Lindong, Ma Chao, who had excellent eyesight, could immediately identify the auxiliary soldier who was among the thousands of Wei troops.
Seeing that scene, Guo Huai naturally couldn't hide his intentions from Ma Chao.
Guo Huai's application of the principle that kindness does not control soldiers is very natural.
But Ma Chao is not an indecisive person. Even if he knows that many of the auxiliary soldiers were originally from ordinary people, their previous identities were irrelevant. When they stand on the wrong side of him, then they are not his own.
enemy.
Ma Chao decisively gave the order to shoot arrows.
To the east of Ma Chao's order, thousands of arrows shot from high to the east, with sharp and powerful arrows, and rushed towards the Qian Wei army.
Because the auxiliary soldiers of the Qian Wei Army were protected by tattered cloth armor, and because they had not received formal training and did not know how to avoid arrows, they would be surprised if thousands of arrows fell into their crowd.
When it hit, it immediately caused great damage to them.
Hundreds of Wei army auxiliaries fell into a pool of blood, howling in an instant.
When the surviving auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army saw this, they were instantly frightened and panicked. Their first reaction was to flee towards the rear.
But what was waiting for them at the rear was not the strong fortress they had built with their own hands, but the war supervisors who were slashing at them with knives.
As the elite of the army, the Supervisory Team can cut down regular soldiers just like melons and vegetables, not to mention those auxiliary soldiers who have no fighting ability?
When the dazzling blades struck the Wei army auxiliary soldiers who were the first to retreat, many more Wei army auxiliary soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
To the east of the threat of death, only a few hundred auxiliary soldiers were left in a dilemma.
At that time, the voices of the Wei army supervising the troops rang out, and they used words to confuse the hundreds of auxiliary soldiers.
You won't necessarily die if you rush forward, but you will most likely be rewarded later.
But if they don't step back, not only will they want to die, but their families will also want to be implicated.
I would like to know the reason why the Wei army is so powerful because Cao Cao formulated a series of strict military laws for the Wei army during his lifetime, one of which was the "Law of the Death of Soldiers".
The Law on the Exile of Soldiers stipulates that if a soldier flees, his parents, wife, children, and brothers will be implicated and executed.
Such a harsh and almost perverted military law raised Cao Wei's combat effectiveness to an extremely high level. At the same time, such military law did not leave a red thread in everyone's heart.
People will run away regardless of whether they can survive, but what if the cost is the lives of their family members?
Those hundreds of auxiliary soldiers quickly proved their choice with their actions.
Facing the threat of the death of the soldiers, the hundreds of auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army, no matter how afraid they were of the rain of arrows falling from high altitude, turned around resolutely and pushed the troops forward towards the Han army's camp.
Along the way, many Wei Army auxiliary soldiers died in the east of the arrow, but most of the Wei Army auxiliary soldiers insisted on continuing to move forward.
They may die in the front, but they will definitely die in the back, including their families.
Are the hundreds of auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army just ordinary people who are greedy for life and afraid of death? In the troubled times full of heroes in the Three Kingdoms, they may not even deserve to have names. Who in future generations will pay attention to their existence?
But they were precisely the main group of people of that era.
And it is often ordinary people like that who don't care about their grand ambitions and just want to protect their families.
The protection in my heart kept the hundreds of Wei army auxiliary soldiers in front, but the belief in my heart could not make up for their lack of training.
Some auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army were shot by arrows while pushing the hustle and bustle, and some auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army were hacked to death by the supervising team behind them because they were walking too slowly.
No one taught them what to do after the battlefield. Regardless of whether they were Han or Wei, they would be ruthlessly put to death because of their "helplessness".
More and more blood began to flow in the weed-covered Gushan Mountain Road, and when the bright red blood was mixed with the green weeds, it seemed to form a bewitching and strange color.
That color symbolizes the cruelty of the world and directly exposes the pity of ordinary people in the world.
When it prospers, the people suffer, and when it dies, the people suffer. This is not true.
As the Han army's arrows continued to attack Dong, there were not many people left in Dong who were originally auxiliary troops from the Qianwei army.
But at that time, as the drums of the Wei Army continued to sound, another group of Wei Army auxiliary soldiers also entered the battlefield.
The scene just now, like a carnage, was repeated in the deep mountain road of Gushan.
The forest was deep and the people were crying. If it weren't for the sunlight flowing into the mountain road, I'm afraid many people would feel like they were in hell after seeing the scene in front of them.
At that moment, Ma Chao understood Guo Huai's true intention.
Guo Huai never thought about using poorly trained auxiliary troops to dismantle the dense resistance of horses from the beginning.
There was one reason why he sent auxiliary soldiers in the battle - to let them use their flesh and blood to continuously consume the arrows of the Han army.
To make military arrows, you can't just use any piece of wood.
Guo Huai knew that the Han army's military reserves must be insufficient. If the Han army continued to consume, when the well-trained regular soldiers were in the battle, how could the Han army use arrows to stop the Wei army's regular soldiers?
The arrows turn into rain, which makes the army more lethal.
In Guo Huai's eyes, the life of an auxiliary soldier was not as valuable as an arrow from the Han army.
If the auxiliary troops are gone, it will be useless to continue to recruit them. Cao Wei still has some people, but once the arrows of the Han army are gone, the credit he will get will be overwhelming.
Guo Huai's intentions were very cold-blooded, but sadly, most generals in the world were as cold-blooded as him.
The success of one general will last forever, as has been the case since ancient times.
It was not difficult for Ma Chao to see Guo Huai's intention, but he had no good way to decipher Guo Huai's intention at the moment.
Because if he could not stop the arrow rain attack, there would be no blocking Wei army auxiliary troops, and with the help of his cannons, he could dismantle the layers of resistance he had deployed.
Once the layers of resistance are removed, the first layer of defense of the Han army camp will be dismantled in an instant.
This is almost an unsolvable problem.
This also means that Guo Huai, the offensive general, is the first test for Ma Chao, the defensive general.
Whether Ma Chao will be able to pick up Donglai and whether he will be in a dilemma, or whether he will be completely in a dilemma, all depends on Ma Chao's decision to take Donglai.
Just when Ma Chao was frowning, Ma Dai came to Ma Chao and whispered to him.
After listening to Ma Dai's whisper, Ma Chao's brows widened instantly.
How could he forget that big killer?
With support in his heart, Ma Chao immediately gave the order.
He ordered the Han troops at the camp wall to stop shooting arrows.
That's not a helpless move.
Ma Chao knew that no matter how many arrows he consumed, the original original formation could not be saved. In this case, it was very important to stop losses and use those arrows where they should be used.
When the rain of arrows at the camp wall stopped, the auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army who had advanced to the horse-rejecting formation were all so happy that they almost cried.
They escaped alive!
Although I don’t know why the Han army suddenly stopped firing arrows, how could the Wei army auxiliary soldiers give up this rare opportunity?
I just hope that after dismantling the horses in front of them, they can all return to the camp safely.
After taking a look at the countless corpses of his colleagues who had fallen to the ground around him, the surviving Wei army auxiliary soldiers, Tempting Dong, immediately accelerated their advance.
When they pushed the troops to the front of the Han army's anti-horse formation, they quickly supervised the commander of the battle team behind them and began to dismantle the sharp anti-horse formations.
With more people and greater strength, in the east of the Wei army's auxiliary troops who were constantly demolishing them, in one month, the dense and dense horse-rejection formation deployed by the Han army was almost completely demolished.
By that time, it was already dark, and upon seeing this, the captain in charge of the battle team issued an order to withdraw the troops.
Anyway, most of the houses have been demolished, and there is no time to demolish the remaining ones tomorrow.
Moreover, Mingyue's progress will definitely make Guo Huai very satisfied.
Sure enough, when the captain who supervised the team returned to camp and reported the information to Guo Huai, Guo Huai's face was a little surprised at first, and then he became happy.
The mere dismantling of the rebels was unlikely to lead to him personally supervising the formation.
In addition, Guo Huai also knew that with his arrangement, it would only be a matter of time to dismantle the anti-horse formation outside the Han army camp.
But he didn't expect that Mingyue's progress would be so fast.
Guo Huai immediately asked the commander of the team, Mingyue, about all the actions of the Han army.
After learning that it was Ma Chao who stopped firing arrows on his own initiative that allowed the auxiliary troops to advance so quickly, Guo Huai's doubts were answered.
Ma Chao's choice did not break his situation, but it was not the best choice for the Han army.
Now that he knew that the anti-horse formation outside the Han army's camp was almost dismantled, Guo Huai immediately had the idea of sending regular troops to storm the Han army's camp.
It is different from the simple task of dismantling the horse-rejecting formation. If you want to storm the Han army's camp, it will be impossible to send auxiliary troops.
Because the storming represents a close encounter between Coco and the Han army, there is a series of complicated siege actions, and only serious soldiers can accomplish these things.
After the idea emerged in his mind, Guo Huai sent an order to the generals in the army overnight - after the anti-horse formation outside the Han army's camp was completely dismantled early in the morning of the bright moon, the army would immediately launch an attack against the Han army's camp.
After Dongda received the general's order, Guo Huai began to look forward to the battle in the bright moon.
He does not necessarily ask to supervise the battle when the auxiliary soldiers are in the formation, but he can fight the enemy bravely for him with his own soldiers. Of course, he will not ask to appear in such a big event.
Time passed very quickly, and as early as dawn the next day, many Wei army auxiliary soldiers were at the command center of the supervising team, continuing to dismantle the anti-horse formation outside the Han army camp.
Just as the captain of the supervising team expected, the Wei army's auxiliary troops completely dismantled the Han army's horse-rejection formation near noon.
When the news came back to the Wei army camp, Guo Huai excitedly sent the order to attack to the waiting Wei soldiers.
To the east of Guo Huai's order, the Wei army auxiliary troops who completed their mission quickly retreated to the Wei army camp.
Groups of Wei infantry with shields on their legs and swords at their waists formed a tight human wall and continued to advance towards the Han army camp in the distance.
Behind the tight wall of Wei army infantry, there were many ladders.
Once those ladders are placed on the walls of the Han army's camp, it won't take long for the Han army's camp to be defeated by the Wei army's numerical advantage.
The sound of powerful drums sounded. In addition to the drum legs of the army beating the war drums, behind the advancing group of Wei army infantry, there was a towering chariot. Guo Huai, who was standing on the chariot to observe the enemy's situation, was also beating the drums vigorously.
Beating the war drum of the nest chariot.
The leader of an army personally beat drums to cheer for his own army, which greatly improved the morale of the Wei army's infantry.
The Wei army, with high morale, formed multiple formations and moved forward step by step.
Their combat boots stepped on the corpses of numerous Wei army auxiliary soldiers left on the battlefield last month. Their combat boots stepped on the battlefield that should have been blocked by layers of resistance. As they advanced step by step, they left the Han army camp.
The camp wall is not far away.
What stood in front of them was a trench and many deep pits dug by Han army workers.
But this could not be troubled by the well-trained infantry of the Wei army. Soon the flying bridges were pushed out from the Wei army camp and then set up directly in the trenches and deep pits.
The existence of the flying bridge allowed the Wei army's infantry to easily pass through trenches and deep pits.
At that time, the Han army at the camp wall finally began to react.
Guo Huai was playing drums in front of the Han army's camp, so he could clearly see the Han army's actions.
When he saw the Han army at the camp wall setting up their bows and drawing arrows, he had a look of disdain on his face.
Does Ma Chao think that his great Wei Tianbing can't compare with those auxiliary soldiers who didn't know how to protect themselves last month?
Even if he doesn't disdain Yeqin, he doesn't disdain Yeqin. When Guo Huai saw some Han soldiers taking out some bottles and cans, he couldn't help but be surprised.
What are those bottles and jars filled with?
Guo Huai understood the move of welcoming the Han army from the east.
The Han army lit flames on the heads of arrows.
The fact that the Han army acted like this shows that the bottles and jars contained items such as kerosene.
It's true that kerosene can cause a fire, but with that amount, how can it cause damage to the flybridge with rawhide protection?
If the flying bridge is not destroyed, then everything done by the Han army will be in vain.
As an excellent defensive general, Guo Huai had already considered in advance whether the Han army could use fire attacks.
Precisely because of his foresight, Guo Huai took precautions early.
Not only is the flybridge protected by rawhide, but the shields in his legs are also covered with rawhide.
With that kind of protective measures in place, unless the Han army provided an alarming amount of fire oil, their fire attack would not be able to threaten their own army.
Guo Huai, who was determined in his heart, beat the war drum harder and harder.
Just as the Wei army's war drums became more frequent, the Han army at the camp wall began to throw bottles and cans from their legs.
Since none of the Han soldiers who threw the bottles and jars were strong men, and with the advantage of being in the east of Lindong, the bottles and jars smashed into the Wei army's infantry square formation smoothly.
When the bottles and jars thrown by the Han army hit the ground, they burst into pieces instantly, and the contents inside gradually flowed to the ground.
This substance looks like ointment but not ointment, and looks like water but not water. Its color is yellow at first and then black, and it has a strong and pungent odor of liquid bean.
Even though Guo Huai was well-informed, he couldn't tell what it was for a moment.
He didn't know, but that thing was called stone fat by some people in this world.
In later generations, he had a famous name - oil!
When the stone fat was scattered and flowing at the feet of numerous Wei infantry, the Han troops behind the flying bridge and the camp wall also raised their rockets in time.
If there is a small amount of kerosene, it will not be able to cause large-scale damage to the Wei army. Can you please replace the kerosene with oil?
Ma Chao looked at the Wei army infantry in the east and formed a formation with a cold expression on his lips.
Is it looked down upon by so many people?
After a sword cry sounded, a sword with cold light pierced the sky, and hundreds of Han army rockets leaped out.
Then he formed a formation towards the Wei army infantry and fired rapidly!
