Chapter 3222 What you think I think he thinks

Chapter 3221 What you think I think he thinks

Hanzhong, Mulansai.

The section of road in the middle of Mulan Fortress is the most dangerous part of the entire military camp road.

In fact, there was originally an extra plank road paved here, but now it has been demolished by the defenders, and it looks empty. If you step on the wrong foot, you will fall directly, or maybe you will fall directly onto the cliff along the stone path.

This kind of terrain makes people feel frightened just by looking at it, and there is almost no possibility of conquering it.

Therefore, after the war started, Cao Jun never got any advantage.

It's just that if the fight lasts for a long time, and after too much damage is done, I will start to think about it more or less and use my brain.

The most direct change was that Cao Jun used death squads.

Sometimes, it is not easy to learn well, but it is easy to learn bad things.

Since the Cavalry General began to frequently use the sneak attack night battle mode, he has naturally achieved some good results, but it has also promoted the overall tactical changes of the Han Dynasty.

As a result, even Shen Dan suddenly made such a move when the battle was at a stalemate.

And it’s also a combo move.

During the attack, Cao Jun discovered the stone caves left behind by the original plank roads on Mulansai Mountain Road.

Shen Dan is now doing two things. On the one hand, he has people climb up the cliff and try to rush into Mulan Sai to cause chaos inside. On the other hand, he is starting from the outside, taking advantage of the chaos inside Mulan Sai to organize people to quickly build a plank road.

Expand the area of ​​attack, attack both inside and outside, and adopt a two-pronged approach!

All of a sudden, the Mulan plug's fire flickered and the sound was like boiling!

Li Dian intercepted Cao Zhen in the mountains, while Ma Zhong was responsible for defending Mulan.

Ma Zhong really didn't expect Shen Dan to come up with this move...

After all, Cao Jun's previous attack was almost like a check-in and sign-in attack every day, which was extremely dull. As a result, he suddenly launched a surprise attack at night, which caught Ma Zhong and the defenders of Mulan Village somewhat unprepared.

"Kill!"

"The Mulan plug has been broken!"

The soldiers of Cao's army climbed over the cliff, roaring and noisy, and fought with the defenders of Mulansai.

"Night attack!"

"Cao Jun has come in!"

There was an uproar in Mulansai.

Because the night was chaotic and the firelight was swaying, no one knew how many Cao Jun soldiers had climbed up, and they were inevitably a little panicked for a while. Some people died under Cao Jun's swords, and of course some shot Cao Jun off the cliff.

"Ahhh——"

The screams echoed endlessly among the cliffs.

Seeing that Cao Jun had climbed up the cliff and attracted most of Mulansai's attention, Shen Dan raised his arms and shouted, "Hurry! Build the plank road quickly!"

Cao Jun, who was at the bottom of the mountain road, lit torches and rushed forward carrying wooden beams.

War drums roared and echoed in the mountains.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sledgehammer smashed horizontally and nailed the wooden beams to the rock wall.

The wooden wedge stuck into the stone cave, tightly clamping the wooden pillars and beams.

If the plank road can be paved successfully, it will be equivalent to more than doubling the width of the road, which means that Cao Jun can send more people to attack Mulansai with a more ferocious attitude.

After the wooden wedges were inserted and the wooden pillars and beams were stabilized, someone immediately handed over the planks, hammered in the iron nails, and then immediately continued to drive forward another wooden beam.

"Cao Jun is laying plank road!"

Some soldiers on Mulan Fortress also discovered Cao Jun's movements.

"Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!"

An arrow shot down from the Mulan plug.

A soldier of Cao's army who was laying planks was shot and screamed in agony.

The people who laid the planks were from the Shangyong Shen family.

Although the people of the Shen family are also called friendly troops among Cao Jun, which sounds nice, in fact they are still regarded as cannon fodder by Cao Jun. Before, it was the common people who came forward to die, but now it is the turn of the soldiers of the Shen family.

.

The Shen soldier screamed and tried to struggle to escape, but he was hacked to death by the commander of Cao's army who was supervising the army behind him. He kicked him off the cliff, then held up his bloody sword and shouted, "If you don't want to die, just do it."

Lay it quickly!』

Shen Dan looked down and frowned slightly, but did not say anything. Instead, he asked several shield men to come forward to provide some shielding.

The soldiers of the Shen family who mustered up their courage continued to step forward to pave the plank road.

The reason why Shen Dan invested so many of his troops this time was because he felt that if he didn't find a way to capture Mulansai as soon as possible, Shen's soldiers would die in vain on the mountain road of Mulansai.

In the past, all the people who died were ordinary people, so Shen Dan naturally didn't feel sorry for him, but now when he saw that his family's assets were going to be increased, Shen Dan showed some subjective initiative and caught Ma Zhong off guard.

If tonight's attack from above and below makes it difficult for Mulan Sai to respond, it can be regarded as a rare opportunity!

Mulan Village is indeed dangerous. The rugged and narrow mountain roads will make every attacker feel desperate. But the more dangerous it is, once it is captured, the psychological impact on the defenders will be huge. It can immediately cause chaos in the Hanzhong army.

If you panic, you may be able to successfully advance the front line to Nanzheng.

In fact, many incidents in history have been like this. Once the frontier fortress is lost and pushed to the core of the capital, it will immediately shake up and down. The surrendering faction will instantly swell, and they may even kill the main fighting faction as a way to advance.

level.

Therefore, Shen Dan believes that as long as he takes Mulan Sai, he can basically complete most of the entire Hanzhong strategy. The rest is Cao Zhen's business, and he can naturally obtain most of Hanzhong's benefits.

Including but not limited to population and goods.

When fighting, sometimes we fight people's hearts.

And people's hearts are often more fragile than geographical location.

There are not many defenders in Mulan Fortress.

Because the terrain of Mulan Village is narrow, even if the soldiers are piled up, they cannot be deployed. Therefore, they have always been rotating with the barracks in the rear. Every morning before dawn, new troops are added to Mulan Village, and the ones originally on duty are

The soldiers will be rotated in batches.

In this way, it can ensure that the soldiers on duty at Mulan Fortress have sufficient physical strength, but it also makes the number of soldiers on Mulan Fortress relatively small when there are no troops to hand over.

Normally, there would be no problem with this arrangement.

But that strategy was based on the previous number of people. After Li Dian took away a large number of Di soldiers, the total number of soldiers in Mulansai was reduced, which inevitably caused some problems in the entire rotation plan.

deviation.

Ma Zhong did not change in time, or he felt that there was no need to change.

The total amount has been reduced, but the number of each rotation has not changed, which leads to more frequent rotations and causes the soldiers to be more tired than before.

In addition, when Shen Dan attacked before, he was very strict, attacking when the sun rose and withdrawing when the sun set. This had been the case for more than ten days in a row, which also made Ma Zhong and Mulansai's soldiers form an inertial understanding.

When Shen Dan suddenly made such a move, he was a little unable to react.

Shen Dan's sneak attack this time was like a dagger, unexpectedly stabbing into Ma Zhong's back.

"Don't panic!"

Fortunately, although Ma Zhong is a little lacking in resourcefulness, he is not bad in martial arts!

The most important thing is that Ma Zhong chose the most correct way to respond...

"Don't panic! Clear the bandits on the cliff first!"

"I had expected that the bandit army would come for a sneak attack!"

"Everything is arranged!"

"Take up weapons! Defend the position!"

Ma Zhong not only shouted it himself, but also ordered others to shout the same thing in other places. He himself immediately rushed to the top of Mulan Sai with his personal guards and strangled the Cao soldiers who climbed the cliff and came in.

This is like defending a city. You must first deal with the enemy troops who have crawled in. As for the enemy troops under the city gate, because there is more or less a city gate in between, the relative risk will be smaller...

On the one hand, Ma Zhong took the lead, and on the other hand, he calmed people's hearts and gradually stabilized the situation, preventing the defenders from acting irrationally under unknown circumstances.

Sometimes, when people are panicked, scared, or under certain extreme emotions, they will do things that they cannot even understand. This kind of psychological behavior is usually called "irrational behavior" or "hysteria." These behaviors

Not based on logic or rational thinking, but directly influenced and driven by strong emotions.

This kind of irrational behavior is not limited to men or women. When an individual is in a strong emotional state, the rational thinking part of the brain may be suppressed by the emotional part, leading people to do something that may not be wise or even

It is impulsive decision-making and action. This kind of behavior will help the brain release stress, but it may not necessarily release it in a good direction.

For example, the camp gate might be opened for no apparent reason...

Especially for a narrow pass like Mulansai, the allowable range of errors and oversights is very small.

Fortunately, Ma Zhong's words and deeds suppressed the turbulent emotions.

"Quick! Wake up the soldiers in the military camp at the foot of the mountain and come for reinforcements immediately! Each team must guard tightly to prevent Cao's army from making a sneak attack elsewhere..."

After Ma Zhong led his men to clear out the soldiers of Cao's army who climbed up the cliff, he immediately rushed to the gate of Mulansai with the smell of blood all over his body, giving urgent orders as he walked.

When Ma Zhong braved the rain of arrows and climbed up the wall of the stronghold, he saw that Cao Jun had almost laid the plank road in front of the stronghold gate.

"Rolling stones and smashing wood! Quick! Go get it!"

Ma Zhong turned around and shouted.

The next moment, an arrow whizzed up from below and hit the bag Ma Zhong was wearing, causing Ma Zhong to stumble backward.

Ma Zhong happened to turn his head, otherwise this arrow would have been inserted directly into Ma Zhong's face!

Ma Zhong pushed away the guard who came to help him, shook his head, and found that he was not hurt at all, so he cursed: "Everyone is gathering around me to do this! Go and move the rolling stones and logs! Smash the rebel army down!"

Don’t let the thieves get close to the village gate!』

Cao's army below has almost repaired the plank road to the gate of the village, while in the distance Cao's army has assembled its troops.

Shen Dan looked up and saw that the sounds on the cliff gradually subsided. He knew that most of Cao's soldiers who climbed up the cliff were dead. He couldn't wait for the plank road to be completely repaired, so he gave the order for Cao's army to attack directly.

"It's too late! Kill it!"

"There are still some of our people on the plank road who have not retreated!"

On the plank road, there were also some auxiliary soldiers responsible for repairs and Cao Jun's military governor.

"Kill them!" Shen Dan was furious and drew out his long sword, "Let them attack together! Those who retreat, behead them!"

Originally, when Cao Jun's military governor killed Shen's auxiliary soldiers, Shen Dan didn't say anything. Now Cao Jun asked those military governors to retreat?

Shen Dan held up his long sword, his face as sinking as water.

Under the military order, Cao's army formed a formation and could only rush forward in a swarm.

The commander of Cao's army, who was originally supervising the army on the plank road, saw the soldiers from behind surging up. He originally wanted to get out of the way subconsciously, but found that he had no way to avoid it and had no way to retreat. He was pushed directly in front and couldn't help but move forward.

Mulan walked away, and then watched the rolling stones thrown down from above come to the front of her eyes!

"boom!"

Rolling stones and trees fell down, colliding and bouncing between the mountain paths.

"Ahhhhh!"

The screams of Cao Junbing who were knocked down were heard.

Although the trajectory of the falling stone and the angle of collision are very random, the damage to Cao's soldiers who were crowded in the mountain road was very great. More importantly, after losing the cover of the shield, they

There was no way to avoid the arrows shot from the top of the head, and they could only resist forcefully. In an instant, the array was in chaos.

Shen Dan saw that he was so close but couldn't attack, and was filled with resentment. However, even if he was unwilling to do so, the good opportunity for him to launch a surprise attack tonight was already lost, and in the end he could only withdraw his troops.





In the mountains of the remaining mountains of the Qinling Mountains.

Cao Zhen received the message from Mulansai. After reading it, he was silent for a long time.

Shen Dan didn't care. Shen Dan also organized a suicide squad to climb the cliff and attack at night.

But Shen Dan worked hard, but he was not able to conquer Mulan Se.

So what can Cao Zhen say?

What's more, Cao Zhen couldn't get any advantage when facing Li Dian.

After Cao Zhen lost part of his soldiers, he tried to set up an ambush to lure Li Dian into the trap and made signs of retreat. As a result, Li Dian just defended the entrance of the valley and remained unmoved. Cao Zhen originally thought that the location where he originally set up the ambush was too obvious.

, so he deliberately withdrew for a while and chose a not so dangerous location to ambush, but Li Dian's troops still did not arrive. This was when he gave up completely and did not expect Li Dian to come.

Although there was snow to temporarily replenish the water supply, Cao Zhen had already eaten up all his dry food. He had been using mules and horses to support him in the past few days, and the mules and horses were almost finished.

"Send the order...withdraw the troops."

Cao Zhen's face showed a bit of vicissitudes and helplessness. Because he had been working hard in the mountains and had not been able to have a good rest and adjustment, Cao Zhen looked ten years older than when he first set off from Xiangyang.

Cao Zhen's guard did not raise any objections, because this was the result that almost everyone dared not say.

If we can't attack, doesn't it mean we have to retreat?

Li Dian's defense was very stable, so stable that Cao Zhen couldn't find any good opportunities.

If Cao Zhen had not brought his troops and the elites of Cao's army, I am afraid that the morale of the army would have been shattered long ago and there would be no way to deal with it. The reason why Cao Zhen can still persist in the mountains until the last moment is mainly because these private soldiers are almost all members of the same family.

They are all under the control of the Cao family. Even if an individual has any ideas, he must consider the elders and children of his family.

It's like in the later generations, there is always someone trying to rectify the workplace after a certain person, but there are no middle-aged social animals who dare to do this.

If a certain person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, even if he resigns naked, he will go home to gnaw at his old age. But what about the middle-aged social animals? A day without work means a day without food. The old, the young, and the young are crying for food. How can there be any confidence to fall out?

Jumping?

The same was true for Cao Zhen's private soldiers. After hearing that Cao Zhen finally ordered the troops to withdraw, they showed a somewhat relaxed attitude, but they did not dare to show too much and make Cao Zhen unhappy, but their words and deeds were more or less different.

Also revealed some lightness to come.

Cao Zhen watched silently.

He was unwilling to do so.

Li Dian's command of the troops and horses was too "upright". Cao Zhen could not seduce Li Dian in the mountains. This means that if Cao Zhen still wants to attack Hanzhong, he can only fight hard at Mulan. This is like Wuguan Dao only

Being able to fight against the Wuguan Pass is just as disappointing and helpless.

It is indeed possible to use human lives to pile up a pile, but the problem is that it will consume a lot of manpower, material resources, and time.

No matter from which perspective, Cao Zhen does not have so many resources to waste.

Only by wisdom.

Before Cao Zhen came to Shangyong, he thought that with the Shen family as an internal response and the mediocre people at his disposal, he could defeat Hanzhong. However, he did not expect that Shen family's words were not true, and he was able to capture Shangyong.

The Di people did win over some people, but it was useless just to win over Shangyong!

Cao Zhen took off his bag and knocked it twice on a stone nearby, shaking out a lot of scalp, bugs and dust, "Shangyong is not a thoroughfare, nor a competition for land, but a handover..."

Yes, Cao Zhen's understanding of Shangyong was somewhat biased, but now he has a more accurate understanding.

Shangyong's form is scattered, Cao's army can easily come, and Li Dian can easily recover. Therefore, Li Dian gave up this area that was not easy to defend at the beginning, and even if Cao Zhen occupied it now, it would be equally difficult to defend.

.

"That's right, Jiaodi." Cao Zhen repeated, looking at the Douluo in his hand, as if this Douluo was a place of excellence, "Jiaodi is difficult to defend..."

Cao Zhen thought about it, but couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Cao's soldiers came and went, and quickly gathered all the supplies. When they came to Cao Zhen, they reported, "General, everything is packed..."

"So fast?" Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood.

They didn't have much supplies left in the first place, and the soldiers had already planned to retreat, so naturally they would retreat quickly.

Cao Zhen felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh and stand up.

For these soldiers, they do not understand the overall situation of the world, nor do they know how important this battle between Cao Cao and Fei Qian is...

etc.

Just as Cao Zhen was about to put the bag on, he suddenly thought of something, and then he stared at the pattern on the bag and was silent.

When the guard beside Cao Zhen saw this, his heart jumped again, "This... General? General, what are your orders?"

Cao Zhen reacted, rolled his eyes a few times, and already had a rough idea in his mind, so he put the bag on his head, waved his hand, "Nothing... let's go!"

Cao Zhen thought of a way.

"Since it's a fight, we have to fight with a fight!"
