"It's too late!" Fan Xian looked at the roaring cavalry, laughed miserably, and then shouted, "It's over!"
Whether it's late or finished, the meaning is the same.
The cavalry were extremely fast. At first, they were just raising smoke and dust in the distance, but it didn't take long before they were close to us, roaring and galloping left and right, surrounding most of the workshops and camps.
Compared to Fan Xian who was almost collapsed, Cao Zhen seemed not to care at all about the approaching Sima and his entourage. He just urged his subordinates to destroy the facilities and items in the workhouse camp and paid no attention to Fan Xian's howling beside him.
I don't care at all.
Fan Xian regretted it very much.
If I had known earlier, he wouldn't have come to the workshop camp and just fled on his own.
But if he is given another chance, he will still come here, because only by bringing Cao Zhen with him can we ensure that Fan Xian will be beneficial after escaping to Shandong. Otherwise, even if he escapes, when Shandong asks, how can he
You escaped? What did Fan Xian say?
But it happened that a guy like Cao Zhen was involved, and he insisted on destroying the factory camp...
Wouldn't this be a delay?
Seeing a group of Sima's cavalry surrounding the camp layer upon layer, with rows of weapons of various colors shining with cold light, Fan Xian was fighting with each other, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Mr. Fan was more or less an opposition party before, so the most common thing he said was that I could have sex with him. That’s what he said, and of course he thought so, but it was only after he had sex that he realized what he was talking about
Action and actual action are two different things.
Decision to kill.
This word is Fan Xian's favorite word.
He boasted that he was indeed "decided in killing".
After all, most people are honest, how can they have the courage to cause trouble like him?
As a result, it was only now that Fan Xian realized that he was not "killing", but just "being stupid".
"General," Fan Xian asked Cao Zhen with his last hope, "but are there reinforcements?"
Cao Zhen ignored Fan Xian at all, but stared at Sima's banner in front of the camp.
Wen County Sima?
That damn Sima clan in Wen County who defected to Hedong?
traitor!
The traitor must die!
In the camp, flames billowed.
Flames reflected in Sima Yi's eyes.
"This traitor..." Sima Yi clicked his tongue, "He is quite brave...get ready to attack the camp!"
Sima Yi actually hoped that Cao Zhen could flee directly.
The cavalry can almost never be injured when chasing down a defeated team. This is because when most teams are escaping, they only have one thought, which is to just run faster than the pig teammates next to them...
But Cao Zhen chose another method and forced Sima Yi to launch a strong attack.
In order to better lure Cao Zhen and others, Sima Yi did not take too many precautions against the Gongfang camp. He only strengthened inspections, but this also became a weakness at the moment.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Bait or not, while catching the fish, it will inevitably be swallowed by the fish first...
The best result is, of course, not only to catch the fish, but also to keep the bait or the integrity of the net bag. If the fish dies in the end and the net is broken, the merit points obtained by Sima Yi, the "fisherman", will obviously not be the same. will be significantly reduced.
Cao Zhen's move was to force Sima Yi to save the Gongfang camp. Otherwise, if Cao Zhen was trapped to death, it would be equivalent to burying the entire Beiqu Gongfang camp.
"March!" We cannot let the Beiqu Gongfang camp burn down like this.
Sima Yi did not delay and gave the order directly.
Following Sima Yi's order, some soldiers immediately dismounted and opened up the deer camp outside the camp. The cavalry following them rushed out from the opened passage, approached the camp, opened their bows and fired, and rows of arrows rained down. After passing the top of the stockade fence, Cao's soldiers who were standing on the wall trying to shoot suddenly looked up to the sky and fell straight down from the top of the stockade fence.
"Don't shoot at them!" Cao Zhen shouted, "Go and gather those craftsmen!"
He didn't have many people with him, so he couldn't afford a war of attrition. Cao Zhen never thought about escaping like a lost dog, but wanted to go back with his merits! The secret blueprint of Beiqu camp, plus The traitor Sima's head was enough to put Cao Zhen ahead of others in the ranks of the second-generation yamen!
If he was greedy for life, he would not come to Beiqu!
If he was afraid of death, he would not go to the battlefield!
Since life or death doesn't matter, why can't we fight for a big one?
Moreover, if you defeat Sima Yijun, you can also obtain some war horses, and you will be able to evacuate more calmly.
Cao Zhen shouted loudly: "Cao swears here that I will live and die with you in this battle and never abandon you! I will share the glory and wealth in life! Even in death, my father will support you and your children!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the major general!"
The soldiers of Cao's army also responded one after another, and their fighting spirit was boiling for a while.
Cao Zhen stayed calm before the battle, and Sima Yi...well, Sima Yi also asked Sima Fu to take the lead...
Although Sima Yi could not be called an "old thief" yet, he was still somewhat of a "little thief". How could he easily lead his troops into battle?
It was Sima Fu who was preparing to lead the attack.
Sima Yi, on the other hand, led other cavalrymen in a circle outside, both as support and to prevent Cao Zhen from escaping in the chaos. After a period of riding training in the Northern Territory, Sima Yi was still relatively confident in horse fighting. Yes, as long as Cao Zhen escapes, Sima Yi can definitely catch up with him and cut off his head!
Letting Sima Fu lead the battle and attack the camp is not because Sima Yi wants to harm Sima Fu, but because Sima Fu has too little experience in commanding an army. The opportunity for training like this is naturally excellent. It cannot be said that it is true. Why don't we just wait until the war breaks out to make ends meet?
Just when Sima Fu had someone clear a passage and was about to rush into the camp, the gate of the camp suddenly opened, and immediately there were chaotic sounds inside. The laborers and craftsmen in the camp were being driven away, like a river bursting. Like a dike, it surged out at once!
Sima Yi frowned slightly.
This tactic again...
Sima Yi hated this tactic very much, but he had to admit that it was indeed effective.
Although most of the craftsmen in the camp have settled in Beiqu County, there are also some craftsmen on duty and regular ordinary laborers in the camp, but they have been driven out by Cao Jun.
As for why these craftsmen and laborers didn’t resist...
Many people like to accuse these craftsmen and laborers of being bloodless, and would rather be cattle and sheep than know how to resist, but in fact this is the way the Chinese ruling class deliberately cultivates and selects...
Since the Han Dynasty, the castration of personal heroes has been gradually implemented. From the emphasis on personal bravery and ability in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the comprehensive promotion of loyalty and filial piety, to the emphasis on the interests of the family and clan, all in order to eliminate as much as possible the individual
doctrine, and advocated collectivism based on clans, villages, regions, and countries, which became an undeclared governing rule of the feudal dynasties after China.
The birth of this rule has the environmental impact of the development of productive relations and political considerations, so that in the later stages of the Chinese feudal dynasty, the blood of the people became weaker and weaker, although the government would say on the surface that it was
What encourages courageous acts of justice, but actually some civilians actually stopped the Yamen from committing murder?
Not to mention the powerless common people, even the powerful officials do not respect the courage to act for justice.
Leopard Head Lin Chong has something to say...
In most of the subsequent feudal dynasties in China, the requirements for the common people were unified. Hard-working and obedient people are good people. Therefore, in the Beiqu camp, these left-behind laborers and craftsmen were attacked by Cao Jun.
No resistance is also a very normal phenomenon...
If Sima Yi was already a successful and well-evolved old thief, Sima Yi would definitely order the shooting of these craftsmen and laborers without any hesitation, and also kill the Cao soldiers who were mixed in with them. However, Sima Yi is now a bit cautious.
The reason is very simple. Sima Yi still wants to climb up the ladder and bear the reputation of being ruthless. Although there is no problem with the position of Minister of Dali Temple, Sima Yi does not want to stay in Dali Temple all his life...
Sima Fu was relatively close to the camp, so he accidentally bumped into these craftsmen without paying attention, and the scene suddenly became chaotic!
Overwhelmed by the labor of the craftsmen, both parties crowded near the gate of the camp. Behind them was the burning camp, with people shouting and horses neighing on the ground, and black smoke billowing in the sky. It was quite a sight of doomsday.
More and more people are swarming, and they are crowded together into a ball.
It's like a fire in a movie theater. If you evacuate in order, it will probably be fine. But the problem is that everyone wants to be the first to escape from the fire, and everyone thinks so. No one is willing to wait.
A group of people were stuck at the entrance of the camp, and they were in a dilemma!
Some people couldn't stand firmly and were trampled under their feet, and then lost their breath after a few steps. Some people just ran out with their heads covered, and then bumped into the belly of Sima Fu's horse and was knocked to the ground.
.
The people who fell on the ground aggravated the chaos at the entrance of the camp, and the soldiers of Cao's army who were hiding in the crowd were killing them wantonly. While creating chaos, they also attacked the cavalry led by Sima Fu. Taking advantage of the fact that the cavalry was too crowded to run, they attacked
It was to directly knock him off his horse. On the wall of the camp, some soldiers of Cao's army began to shoot arrows downward, specifically to kill the cavalry commanded by Sima Fu...
Sima Fu and others were blocked by the crowd at the entrance of the camp, unable to get in, and unable to get out if they retreated.
"Tsk..." Sima Fu behaved like this, and Sima Yi said that he was really blind.
Sima Fu is still young and less experienced.
In the battlefield, the transition between offense and defense is very fast, and the attacker does not always attack from the beginning to the end. Sima Fu suffered this loss, thinking that he was the attacker, but he did not expect that the opponent was suddenly attacking.
Then there would be no time to make many defensive moves...
The craftsmen and workers rushed out. If Sima Fu could make some way for the first time, and then let someone lead the craftsmen and workers to run in one direction, most of Cao Zhen's move would have been defeated.
It's a pity that there are all kinds of fruits on the battlefield, but there is no "if".
"Send the order!" Sima Yi stretched out his hand and drew out his sword, pointed forward diagonally, "Order him to withdraw to the east!"
"Withdraw?" The cavalry leader on the side was stunned for a moment, "With the current situation, it may be difficult to withdraw..."
Sima Yi nodded and said, "Take half of your troops and create a gap for them outside! Go quickly!"
When you are in a crowd, it is often easy to lose your sense of direction. At this time, it is Sima Fu who should be giving guidance to his soldiers. Unfortunately, Sima Fu himself is in a panic at the moment. How can he react?
The rate of the cavalry was unknown, but they still rode forward with twenty or thirty men towards the crowded crowd, and fired furiously at the craftsmen and workers who were bumping around like headless flies.
This was almost a slap in the face, and it immediately shot down many craftsmen who were stuck at the entrance of the camp. This rain of arrows was so fierce, and blood immediately spattered everywhere, scaring those who desperately squeezed out.
The craftsman who was eager to escape immediately subconsciously shrank back!
This shrinkage finally made some space. Sima Fu was finally able to squeeze out on horseback. He suddenly felt like he had escaped from the sky. Before he could show any hint of joy, he felt a cold light on his side like electricity.
to!
Although Sima Fu struggled to twist his body to avoid the arrow, he couldn't make it in time. He was shot on the back of the armor with a pop, and he almost fell off the horse with a cry!
The war horse under Sima Fu was frightened by Sima Fu's screams, and flew away with its hooves!
It didn't matter that Sima Fu escaped, it caused other cavalrymen to subconsciously follow Sima Fu and run away...
Sima Yi suddenly changed his expression, "Blow the trumpet and gather the troops!"
Sima Yi's guards quickly grabbed the bronze whistle and blew it as hard as they could, but the sound of the bronze whistle was limited after all. In addition, there was a lot of screams and noises in the camp. How many of the hussars following Sima Fu could hear him?
See?
Cao Zhen stood on top of the stronghold wall. When he saw this, he immediately threw his bow and arrow and jumped down the stronghold wall in a few steps. "Quick! The whole army attacks! Defeat Sima's center formation, it's a great victory!"
The battlefield changes, and victory or defeat changes in the blink of an eye!
Cao Zhen roared and led his troops towards Sima Yi. When he rushed out of the camp, the sound of collapse was heard in the camp. Some houses had been burned through the roofs, collapsed and splashed all over the sky.
Mars!
A group of Cao's troops were like evil ghosts rushing out of hell, showing their ferocious appearance!
escape?
Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Fight!"
"Use bows and arrows!" Sima Yi shouted, "Go around! Everyone rides and shoots!"
Originally, Sima Yi had the numerical advantage, but Sima Fu's command error and sudden defeat caused most of the cavalry to follow Sima Fu without knowing what was going on, and they could not come back for a while. As a result, Sima Yi actually
Became the party with the smaller number of people.
However, cavalry still has the advantage of cavalry.
Is Sima Yi’s shooting skills...
Hard to describe in one word.
Beyond the distance of twenty steps, Sima Yi's arrows would find their target at will.
And Sima Yi also had a problem, he couldn't ride and shoot.
He only shoots from horseback...
In desperation, Sima Yi had no time to issue more detailed orders to the other cavalry. He could only take the lead and charge towards Cao Zhen with the remaining cavalry. Then he stopped when he was some distance away from Cao Zhen and other soldiers, and then drew his bow.
And cum!
Sima Yi subconsciously made such a move out of desperation. After all, if he really followed the habit of ordinary cavalry and rode his horse to run and shoot, the arrows would not even know where they would fly!
But the rest of the cavalry following Sima Yi didn't know Sima Yi's weakness in this area. They thought this was what Sima Yi meant, so they followed Sima Yi to a stop, spread out a sparse fan shape in front of Cao Jun, and then moved towards Cao Zhen
Waiting for others to shoot angrily.
Sima Yi's shooting skills were poor, so he naturally couldn't shoot quickly, and it took him a long time to aim before shooting an arrow.
The cavalry following Sima Yi naturally followed Sima Yi and shot after aiming...
The riding and shooting technology of the Han Dynasty was derived from the Hu people, that is, covering shooting.
The kite shooting mode that Sima Yi now adopts due to his poor shooting skills is a different tactic, and it can only be used after having armor-piercing heavy arrows.
In the age of bronze and even bone arrowheads, the barbarian's mounted archery had always been a auxiliary role, rather than a decisive force. Chaosing the queue and then rushing in for melee combat was the most common tactic of the barbarians in the Han Dynasty.
Although the arrows shot by Sima Yi did not know where they flew, the hit rate of the other cavalry was not bad. During the charge, Cao Jun's soldiers were shot down from time to time and fell to the ground with screams.
Seeing that Cao Zhen and others were approaching, Sima Yi quickly rode his horse to get some distance away, and then turned back to shoot...
For example, according to the previous cavalry shooting mode, a pot of thirty arrows would shoot out in half a cup of tea. Then the cavalry without arrows would naturally have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the infantry. But now Sima Yi
He has bad shooting skills, but unknowingly reduces the rate of fire and improves the hit rate!
After getting over the initial confusion, Sima Yi and the others, although they only had twenty or thirty cavalry, became the party taking the initiative. Sima Yi and the other cavalry formed a very loose formation, ran for a while, then stopped and took aim.
, then he shot an arrow steadily, and then rode his horse to run for a while...
Cao Zhen chased, but couldn't catch up, caught, couldn't catch him!
Cao Zhen regrets this!
If he had known, he would have ordered all Cao's troops to bring bows and arrows!
But even if Cao Zhenzhen brought archers, it was still difficult for ordinary infantry to effectively suppress this type of riding and shooting. In this regard, he obtained metallurgical technology from the Yuan Dynasty and obtained a large number of iron arrows, and then swept across Asia.
This is evident in the European continent.
Although Cao Zhen was leading the charge and seemed to be majestic, he was actually losing blood every step he took. And if he couldn't catch Sima Yi, there was no end to the battle. After a period of delay, Sima Yi also
Let the balance of victory slowly tilt again...
Afterwards, Sima Fu, who was injured and covered in blood, reorganized his formation and came back with a double team, forcing Cao Zhen and others to be surrounded and surrounded.
"You won't be able to catch me without mercy!"
Sima Yi waved his sore arms and drank loudly while thinking about it. He had just shot twenty or so arrows, how many people should he have fooled? In this way, how much would his reputation as an incompetent cavalry archer be worth?
You should probably go!
Sima Fu on the side was bandaging his wounds. He didn't know whether he was in pain or out of hatred, but he was gnashing his teeth and yelling, "Kneel down, everyone! Put down your weapons, otherwise we will kill you without mercy!"
The remaining thirty or forty soldiers of Cao's army looked at Cao Zhen.
"Fight to the death!" Cao Zhen shouted angrily, "The Cao family only has heroes who died in battle, and no cowards who surrendered!"
Although Cao Hong said that if anything went wrong, he would save his life, but Cao Zhen was not willing to give in!
He should be a glorious hero, not a prisoner!
Cao Zhen howled and led other Cao soldiers to rush towards Sima Yi...
"shoot!"
Arrows and crossbows roared from all directions!
Blood splattered everywhere.
A famous soldier of Cao's army fell on the road of charge.
The number of Cao's soldiers continued to decrease sharply amid the rain of arrows, thirty, twenty, ten...
In the end, Cao Zhen also fell.
The morning sun rose and the sunlight shone on his face.
In the swaying light and shadow, someone seemed to be dragging him out from the pile of corpses.
Cao Zhen heard what seemed to be hussar soldiers talking in the distance.
"Tsk, tsk, this fire is too big, I'm afraid... all the documents in the workshop have been burned..."
Cao Zhen showed a slightly relieved smile.
"If it's burned, it's burned...it's okay, it's all fake anyway..."
Cao Zhen's smile that had not yet spread out suddenly froze on his face.
"puff……"
Cao Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood, then muttered and cursed in a low voice, "God thief..."
