Bao Zhong, who was among Cao's soldiers, couldn't help but feel a huge sense of fear when faced with the brutal tactics of the hussars. It was the first time he encountered this almost extreme tactic of using fast to fight slow.
Horses are extremely fast, and arrows are also extremely fast!
Death spreads with horses' hooves and arrows!
He was about to ejaculate right before his eyes...
I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement, or if they just arrived at Bao Zhong and the hussars ran out of arrows.
Anyway, the sickle that looked like the god of death cut through the Cao army's infantry array next to Bao Zhong, and stopped when it was approaching Bao Zhong's place...
"call……"
Bao Zhong gasped and felt his scalp numb, as if there were thousands of small insects crawling around, and cold sweat rolled down his face.
"See, sending out a signal, it still has some effect..."
The man beside him seemed to be so frightened that he hesitated to speak.
Bao Zhong turned around and looked at Qi.
At this moment, he really paid attention to the Heluo Military Academy and Yang's troops around him.
There is no way, this is all human nature. Before the danger is confirmed, everyone may think it is not a big deal. But when you really realize the danger, you will know that there is a great horror between life and death!
Bao Zhong looked at the wailing misery right next to him and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He also showed a little respect for his usual expression, "From the military academy, this... this..."
For a moment, Bao Zhong didn't even know what to say.
Is it to ask the Hussars to let go, is it really the result of the original signal?
Or should he express his current complicated feelings to the past?
Or is it that he had a bad attitude before and now please forgive me?
Before he could really say anything, he heard new instructions coming from the high platform of Cao's army...
Bao Zhong couldn't help but be stunned!
Compared with other soldiers, Bao Zhong at this level is certainly very familiar with instructions, so he almost instinctively reacted to what Cao Hong wanted...
But this...
impossible!
How can this be done?
Cao Hong actually asked them to take the initiative!
Bao Zhong couldn't help but turn his head and look at Cheng. He himself didn't even notice that since the Hussars showed their powerful lethality, his state of mind was completely different from before.
In fact, he was always frightened in his heart. After all, although he sent out the signal, he did not expect the current situation, so he saw the tragic situation near the military formation. He was also afraid, but his many years of spy life made him very scared.
He almost regained his composure, and when he saw Bao Zhong's questioning look, he smiled and said: "General, you can just follow the order...but you need to be a little slower..."
"Okay, okay!" Bao Zhong understood immediately.
After all, in Shandong, execution is the key. If there is no execution, there will definitely be problems. However, the execution process will not become a point of too much attention, and it will hardly become a criterion for judgment. At most, it will become a reason for superiors to pass the blame.
, and now Cao Jun is like this...
Bao Zhong couldn't help but take another look at the place where the hussars had just been harvested. The flesh on his face couldn't help but tremble. Then he steeled himself and shouted, gathered the somewhat scattered formation of soldiers, and then slowly began to follow the instructions.
Cao Hong's order was to press forward.
Bao Zhong originally thought that if he was so lazy, he would inevitably fall behind others, and he might even get scolded in the end, but it was still better than losing his life!
But what Bao Zhong never expected was that his movement, which was three points too slow, was actually the fastest!
It turns out that others are not only three points too slow, but five points too slow to be considered fast. Some of the soldiers in the formation couldn't even take a step out for a long time!
As a result, Cao Hong's plan to have these soldiers intercept and surround Li Li's branch was smashed to the ground with a thud as soon as it was hatched, completely shattered.
Facing Xu Chu's middle section and the cavalry formation on the other side who were pressing up from a distance, Cao Hong could only urgently withdraw his troops. After all, his own side's formation was completely destroyed, and the hussar side only needed to press and charge.
, Cao Jun’s side must be defeated!
Not to mention the disgraced Cao Hong and Bao Zhong who unexpectedly received "praise", Tongguan, which has been silent for a while, is also preparing to make some moves...
…
…
Tongguan.
Linzhiyuan.
There was a roar on the plateau, and several streaks of white smoke rose into the sky, leaving crooked marks in the air, and then fell into the distance.
Pang Tong put his hands in his sleeves and then placed them on his belly, watching the gray-white marks falling from the sky, then splashing some yellow dust on the soil plateau, and then dazzling lights exploded in some places.
"Well, not every stick will explode successfully," Pang Tong asked Zhu Lingdao, "What is the probability?"
Zhu Ling said: "Well, this... I will report back to you, now, it is almost 70 to 80% right now..."
"Seventy to eighty percent, um..." Pang Tong nodded.
Zhu Ling looked at Pang Tong with some anxiety.
This thing is his new invention...
Pang Tong pondered.
He knew that Zhu Ling was not telling the truth.
In fact, the success rate of this thing is only about half, which is great, and craftsmen must join in to cooperate, otherwise I don’t know what problems will occur.
It is gunpowder after all.
If something goes wrong and the direction is wrong, it will really be...
Zhu Ling swallowed his saliva and felt a little nervous. Of course he understood that the gadget he was creating now had some problems, but he also wanted to gain Pang Tong's approval.
Maybe Zhu Ling really has some "spirit" and has come up with new inventions and weapons.
War, a controversial phenomenon, is undoubtedly the best way to stimulate human wisdom.
In the entire process of human civilization, perhaps it is those moments on the edge of life and death that have illuminated the spark of wisdom time and time again. From ancient Greek fire to modern atomic bombs, humans seem to have no idea how to kill humans more effectively.
Always persevere and tirelessly explore new technologies and methods.
Although this is somewhat full of tragedy, it also reflects the pursuit of survival and the power of innovation that people unleash under extreme circumstances.
This kind of pursuit and power has been deeply embedded in genes since the struggle between humans and nature in ancient times. You can't live without fighting!
Every technological advancement not only brings the horror of war, but also promotes the development of science and technology.
Of course, this development will also be used for peaceful purposes and promote the overall progress of society. For example, radar and radio technology developed rapidly during World War II. These technologies were transformed into civilian technologies after the war, greatly improving human communication methods.
The development of computers also began with the needs of war, and later became the core of modern information society. Otherwise, there would be no horses and monkeys squatting in the trees, typing on the keyboard with their teeth bared, and then being shouted at by a group of people...
However, this does not mean that war itself is desirable or praiseworthy.
War, a normal occurrence in human history, is often described as a conflict between countries, a collision of civilizations, or a contest of ideologies. However, in essence, it is often caused by a small group of politicians with huge interests.
Tragedy caused by conflict. On the surface, war seems to be just a confrontation between countries or armies, but when looking at things, we often need to look beyond the phenomenon to see the essence...
Whether it is their desire for power, competition for resources or pursuit of strategic advantages, the decisions of these politicians ultimately lead to the innocent involvement of a large number of ordinary people.
Under the machine of war, ordinary people are often the biggest victims. They may have no right to comment on the government's decision-making, or even know nothing about the causes of the war, but they have to bear the suffering caused by the war, including but not limited to their homes.
Destroyed, separated relatives, living in hardship, etc. The consequences of this disaster are not limited to those directly involved in the fighting, but spread to the entire society, affecting the fate of several generations.
The splendid war history of the Three Kingdoms has created a number of bright stars, but how many people will really notice that it is precisely because the Three Kingdoms unleashed their terrifying ambitions that they finally emptied the population and kicked off the Five Husbands' chaos in China.
.
Internal factors, external factors, plus a little spark.
It was like these fireworks blooming in front of Pang Tong and Zhu Ling.
Somewhat like a drug-haired puppet, but not entirely. This method of pyrotechnics was only accurately recorded in writing in the Song Dynasty, but various signs indicate that in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, gunpowder was used in this regard...
At least in the Song Dynasty, medicine-haired puppets were already a very mature performance method, so it can be inferred that there was research and development in this area at least before the Song Dynasty.
Now that Fei Qian has advanced the development of gunpowder, he has also lighted up the subsequent research and development of gunpowder and related technology trees in advance. Naturally, more people will climb this tree.
Zhu Ling is undoubtedly a general with a very flexible mind and is willing to think and innovate. He made the big yellow crossbow before, which achieved certain results and gained military exploits, but he still did not satisfy the status quo.
More uses for gunpowder were discovered, such as current weapons similar to rockets.
The Rhubarb Crossbow has a long range and high accuracy, but it also has inconvenient problems. It requires the cooperation of many people to disassemble, install, and load the crossbow, and they also need to be familiar with the mechanism of the Rhubarb Crossbow, otherwise they may accidentally break off a part or something...
So the current rocket requires no skills at all.
Just find a place to plug it in, light it up and that's it.
Pang Tong looked at it with some admiration in his eyes. As a first-class counselor at the moment, he certainly knew the difference between this thing and the big yellow crossbow. The big yellow crossbow can hit at fixed points, but it is very cumbersome, and the use of this kind of rocket is very difficult.
Simple, and the simpler something is, the easier it is to adapt to the battlefield.
Just like in folk martial arts and knight-errant battles, there are always various weapons and eighteen kinds of martial arts, but on the battlefield, only a few simple weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows are left.
The Rhubarb Crossbow is very powerful, but it is indeed too troublesome. From production to maintenance, from assembly to use, so even after Zhu Ling developed the Rhubarb Crossbow tactic, Pang Tong has always ignored the suggestion of mass production of the Rhubarb Crossbow. And now
Although the "gadgets" created by Zhu Lingxin are not accurate at all, they are convenient and cheap.
At this stage, it is simply a joke how many enemy soldiers this rocket wants to kill, but if it is used to disrupt the opponent's array, especially when the opponent is in a dense state...
Pang Tong knew the power of his own cavalry, and he also knew the strength of Shandong's infantry.
If it is in the relatively open terrain of the Yuncheng Basin in the east of Hedong, the range of cavalry galloping will naturally be huge, but what if it is in a small and embarrassing area?
For example, on Tongguan Ban Road.
There was no space for the cavalry to gallop. If they could not rush through, they would die on the slope or jump into the river.
So if the battle is carried out according to the normal process, and if Tongguan wants to push back Cao Jun's Tongguan camp, then he will have to fight with infantry. Even if Guanzhong is assisted by grenades, it will still be a loss, and judging from various signs,
In fact, Shandong also produced some gunpowder, but I don't know where it was used or what the purpose was.
Moreover, there is a certain height difference between the upper city and the lower city of Tongguan, so pedestrians and horses can just walk around, but artillery must be deployed...
The level of complexity is beyond the capabilities of ordinary craftsmen.
In the past, the artillery was able to be mounted to the top of Tongguan City because it was lifted up little by little with a crane before the war started. Now we have to build a scaffolding and crane under the nose of Cao Jun. Isn't that a joke?
"Pang Lingjun, look at this..." Zhu Ling rubbed her hands and smiled.
"You can give it a try."
Pang Tong thought for a moment and nodded.
Zhu Ling was overjoyed.
"Ha...this thing is indeed interesting..." Pang Tong smiled, then glanced at Zhu Ling, "But not now..."
"Ah?!" Zhu Ling was a little confused.
"Get ready and wait for the news." Pang Tong smiled, patted Zhu Ling on the shoulder, then climbed onto the horse's back with the help of his guards, and left.
Zhu Ling scratched his head a little. After watching Pang Tong leave, he couldn't help but ask his subordinates in confusion, "What does Pang Lingjun mean..."
"You mean to wait for news from him?"
"what news?"
"This..." the guard scratched his head, "How could I know this, General..."
…
…
In the land of Heluo, there was a queue heading west along the river.
The queue is like a transport convoy, with vehicles, escorting soldiers, and leaders leading the team.
Among them, the one who looked like the leader was sitting in a car, and there were two of them, obviously one and the same.
There was a man with an elegant appearance, but he was wearing a long linen dress that only craftsmen would wear. He did not wear a crown on his head, but was just wrapped in a linen towel. His expression was a little sad...
Next to this man, a man wearing a brocade robe, with a fat figure and a shiny face, was chattering and saying with a sad face beside him: "I'm not talking about Brother Chai... Du Gongliang is the person you can offend."
Huh? Look, Brother Chai has not only lost his official position, but he also wants to follow me on this trip..."
Du Kui and Du Gongliang, during the Zhongping period of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, served as Ya Lelang in Taileli. During the Zhongping period, he returned to his hometown and later defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou and served as a scholar under Liu Biao. Later Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, and Du Kui also went to Cao Cao
His subordinates participated in Taile and created Yale.
The elegant man with a sad face is called Chai Yu. He is also very talented in music, but now, he has become a craftsman, even a craftsman who has to do the most dangerous work...
Didn't Cao Cao ask Du Kui to create elegant music, which in the Han Dynasty was basically a bell or something like a chime. So Du Kui asked Chai Yu to cast bronze bells, but most of the bronze bells cast by Chai Yu did not meet the requirements for clear and turbid sounds.
Kui asked Chai Yu to destroy and recast it many times.
"But there is nothing wrong with the bell chime I cast!" Chai Yu said, still very puzzled, "There is really no problem! At first, I thought there was indeed something wrong, so I watched it personally at the casting site.
Watching the craftsmen do it bit by bit, checking over and over again..."
As Chai Yu spoke, his voice suddenly became quieter.
"But there is a problem!" The chubby little official in brocade robes on the side said, "Oh! You are really... If it weren't for the fact that we have been a family for thirty years since the time of the eldest father, I...
Come on, forget it, come closer... Listen, I say, although I am not as knowledgeable as you, but you are not as good as me in the Tao of this..."
Chai Yu was silent, nodded, and then listened attentively.
"Do you know what it means to be able to work hard?" The little official in the brocade robe said, "This is you... A capable person works hard. The more capable you are, the more you have to work... You don't even know music, but you also know how to cast.
Do you understand? Now, when Du Gongliang came, Prime Minister Cao asked him to be responsible for elegant music... You also understand the result. The key is that you also pointed out Du Gongliang's mistakes... This is a big taboo... So you don't
Who is unlucky? It’s also me...hey hey...do you understand?"
Chai Yu frowned, "But, but...I'm not wrong..."
"Hey! Why don't you understand yet?" said the Jin-robed clerk, "Brother Chai, this is not a question of right or wrong... Well, this is also a question of right or wrong... Hi! After all, who is Du Gongliang?
Sent to be in charge of elegant music?』
"Prime Minister Cao." Chai Yu replied.
"Isn't it over now?" The young official in Jinyi clapped his hands, then turned to see Chai Yu who was still confused, and let out a long sigh, "You still don't understand? So! You said Du Gongliang was wrong, then...
It's like...aha! Huh? So Du Gongliang said you were wrong! Others also followed suit and said you were wrong! You said, you still report to the superiors?! Whose fault will the superiors say? Right?
Still saying it’s your fault? The fault lies here! Here! You reported it! Do you understand?』
"But..." Chai Yu said two words, and then fell silent.
"I know, who doesn't know? Yale is a national ceremony, there can't be any mistakes, but is this something you should worry about?" The little official in brocade robes continued, "You dare to say that Du Gongliang is at fault, then what if he knows?
Won't you be punished to death? Saying that you made a casting error is already showing mercy, otherwise...hehe! What good will happen to the one who reported it these days? Remember, those who can work hard, meaning
Just don't try too hard! Otherwise, you will be exhausted! Do you know? And let me tell you, it's a lot of work, but it doesn't necessarily mean you will get more... These are two words, whoever works harder will work harder, and whoever gets more will get more.
understand?"
Chai Yu was silent.
"These are two words. They didn't go together originally... I didn't think it looked good in the above, so I merged these two words together..." The little official in Jinyi chuckled and said, "Always have to be even."
For a moment...how can we get something if it is not even? How about you look at this land in Shandong, who are the people who get more? If it is completely uneven, let those who work hard know how much more those who get more get,
That's...that's really terrifying! Anyway, I think it's not a bad thing for you to go out now. It's a bit of hard work for you to go out. Then you can admit your mistake to Du Gongliang. It's your job.
Just go ahead and let him get the fame and fortune you deserve, and that's it. You have to have someone do the work... It's just that this time of luck, I always feel a little scared... these things
If there is a thunderstorm on the road..."
Halfway through the sentence, the young official in Jinyi seemed to feel that what he said was unlucky, so he sighed a few times, then clasped his hands in prayer for a while, and then said: "Anyway, that's it. We people, in this life, don't we just ask for help?"
Is it safe... Do you understand? Hmm?』
Chai Yu was silent for a long time, and then nodded slowly.
The setting sun shines in the evening, and the remaining clouds are like blood.
