Except for those who really have nothing to say about the cards, or are fools who don’t understand how to play cards at all, whoever comes on the field will be the best?
How many battles in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, have ended with the coaches of both sides facing off from the very beginning?
It's like playing Chinese chess. How many people will advance five to one as soon as they start playing?
Then the people watching the chess game yelled, "How can you play like this! You're stupid! In this Chu-Han war, if you don't move the general first, you're a fool!"
Cao Hong was a chariot, horse and cannon, and Xu Chu was also a chariot, horse and cannon.
Oh, the cannon hasn't arrived yet.
So now, after Cao Hong made a fortune, he took a step forward and tried to further compress the battlefield...
The order to attack was quickly passed to Bao Zhong.
"What? Attack?"
Bao Zhong's expression was a little distorted, "Now? It's not even our turn..."
"This is General Cao's order!"
The ordering soldier shouted at Bao Zhong.
"Ah, okay, I will obey the order..."
Bao Zhong could only say this.
You are awesome.
You are amazing.
You have a loud voice.
You are Cao Hong's bodyguard. It's really wronging you to serve as a messenger...
Bao Zhong cursed in his heart, then looked back at his men.
Today was not originally the turn for Bao Zhong and others to go into battle, so they had been resting and watching. They were happily rejoicing when they received an emergency order to go into battle.
The distinguished Central Leader and Central Protectorate have already made a hard trip and successfully defeated the Hussars. So now they ask Bao Zhong and others to go out to assist and hunt down the Hussars deserters. What's the problem?
But……
Bao Zhong and other soldiers were resting, and the soldiers waiting nearby also heard the shouts of the ordering soldiers. In an instant, everyone froze as if struck by thunder, and they were dumbfounded.
Some soldiers were so frightened that they even dropped the cakes and buns in their hands and did not even know that the water in the water bag had poured out. They raised their hands shaking and put them into their mouths.
Watching others fight to death and fighting to death yourself are two completely different concepts.
As long as life or death has nothing to do with you, of course you can scream as loud as you can, but when you really have to fight for your life, of course you can scream as loud as you can...
Bao Zhong's soldiers have not fully recovered from the tragic situation of the previous battle with the Hussars, even now they see the catapults smashing the Hussars' troops into a rout...
That is also the power of the catapult. If I really go up, just in case...
No one is stupid.
Seeing the messengers roaring away, Bao Zhong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Of course, you have to attack, otherwise you will be disobeying military orders, but the current situation is really difficult for Bao Zhong to understand.
"Get ready! Move faster! Get ready to attack!" Bao Zhong shouted, driving away the ordinary Cao soldiers, then moved forward and grabbed Liang on the side, "Follow me!"
The two of them walked forward for a short distance, looked around and saw that there was no one around, then lowered their heads and got together.
"This, this hussar general is really..."
Bao Zhong's words were somewhat unfavorable.
My heart has always been beating wildly.
The general of the Hussars Army was killed like this?
If the general of the Hussars Army is really dead, the risk of attacking is not that high.
But if that wasn't the case, why would Cao Hong order the attack?
Seeing Bao Zhong in panic, especially the murderous intent spreading in his eyes, he was always frightened in his heart, but on the surface he was still smiling, "Can't even the general notice this?"
"What can't you see?" Bao Zhong asked.
He always looked confident and said softly: "They are all using strategies..."
"You, you, what did you say? What is this plan?" Bao Zhong was shocked and immediately became suspicious.
The hussars and front troops are all like this, so what’s your plan?
It has always been said: "When a general goes out to fight, he might as well move a little slower..."
"What's the meaning?"
Bao Zhong wanted to ask again, but the messengers urged by Cao Hong for the second time had already arrived, so Bao Zhong could only give the order to move forward.
You don’t need to climb up or down to cross various plateaus from Cao Jun’s camp. You can go through the suspension bridge that was assumed before. Although the suspension bridge can accommodate a limited number of soldiers passing through at the same time, it is already faster than climbing.
Climbing up and down the winding mountain path is much faster.
Because there was a remaining unit in front that could not completely pass the suspension bridge, Bao Zhong led his troops to stand on the edge of the suspension bridge and wait.
While waiting, Bao Zhong looked at the catapult positions on the inside of the village wall.
Inside the catapult position, there was a lot of chaos.
Because when it was originally manufactured, it was done in a hurry, and there were no standard parts that could be exchanged between craftsmen and craftsmen. Although this would be simpler in management, it would actually cost more.
Under this working model in Shandong, because the craftsmen are responsible for the catapults they built, each craftsman is only familiar with the catapult he built. For example, if the swing arm is not strong enough, it will be strengthened, but other people
It's not that easy to know where the fault was when the catapult broke down...
Under intense use, Cao Jun's catapults quickly developed various malfunctions and problems. Repairs became a big problem!
Even when Bao Zhong received the order to attack, many trebuchets were already out of action, and it didn't look like they could be repaired.
Busy craftsmen and laborers were running around, shouting, bumping into each other in a hurry, and tools and materials were scattered all over the floor.
Some civilian husbands injured themselves due to improper operation, and then fell aside covered in blood without anyone paying attention...
Bao Zhong looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.
"General Bao! It's your turn! Hurry! Hurry!!"
Cao Jun's military academy who was on duty at the suspension bridge urged.
Bao Zhong forced a smile on his face, "Do you know how many enemies there are outside the camp? Where are they?"
The guard on duty stared at him, "How did I know this?! Did you pass or fail?!"
"I've passed it, I've passed it!" Bao Zhong said no more and just waved his arm to let his men move forward.
Those who guard such a key area are all the Central Guards. Even a small military academy is very arrogant. Even generals like Bao Zhong have to be polite to them, otherwise they will offend a Cao family or someone.
It's a marriage between relatives of the Xiahou family...
What?
Cleaning up the workplace?
What can really improve the workplace is not because others are carrying the burden for him? When he really has to bear the burden of a whole family plus debt, why not take a look?
Bao Zhong didn't ask again.
It was obvious that those who attacked in this wave were not the central leaders and the central guards, but ordinary soldiers with foreign surnames like Bao Zhong.
After all, Cao Hong was a veteran, having fought in ups and downs for more than ten years. Although he was eager to win, he still exercised restraint and threw some small cards as a test.
If the opposing hussars can't even catch small pairs like three, three, four, and four, then they can naturally attack a dragon...
…
…
War is always a struggle between two sides, and there cannot always be only one side making progress.
After being repeatedly suppressed by the Hussars, Cao Jun finally broke out. He revealed a card and threw it on the card table, splattering Xu Chu's face with blood.
Xu Chu accidentally fell into the trap carefully laid by Cao Hong. Under the indiscriminate attack of the trebuchet, the troops suffered heavy losses.
Regardless of whether it is in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, troops without cover will be vulnerable and powerless when encountering such long-range attacks.
During the entire command process, did Xu Chu make any mistakes?
If we extrapolate based on the current results, then Xu Chu is undoubtedly wrong.
But if it were any time period before this result, there would have been no problem with Xu Chu's choice.
Unfortunately, the Chinese cavalry led by Xu Chu suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, Xu Chu himself did not enter the dense area during the first wave of the most dangerous Cao Jun's catapult attack. After the subsequent Cao Jun attack was more or less prepared and the troops dispersed, the damage was not as great as the first wave.
Already.
However, Xu Chu was not injured and could not save the tragic situation.
The entire Chinese cavalry array was disrupted and scattered during Cao Jun's catapult attack!
Moreover, the death of those cavalrymen who were hit by catapults would be far more miserable than those who died under swords, guns, arrows and crossbows!
Those who were decapitated or killed on the spot did not have to endure much pain, but those who were brushed aside, had their arms and legs broken, or whose bones were broken by broken stone fragments, were wailing in pain.
.
This kind of injury is extremely difficult to treat even if it is treated!
The current Jinshang Department of the Han Dynasty can only deal with some simple laceration wounds, but it is still somewhat powerless to deal with broken or torn wounds. These injured soldiers are still alive at the moment, but they will soon suffer from internal blood loss or external injuries.
Died from blood loss.
Xu Chu knew this, so when he saw everything in front of him, he felt a little dizzy and almost fell off his horse.
The life and death of these soldiers are the sin and responsibility that the generals bear!
After escaping from the attack range of Cao Jun's trebuchet, he finally calmed down, and a deep regret immediately surged into his heart.
This was his decision and his recklessness, which sent hundreds of hussars directly to death!
Xu Chu clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.
Several guards on the left and right were also in shock, "General, would you like to order the withdrawal of troops?"
Xu Chu's clenched cheeks twitched several times, and he stared at Cao Jun's camp with a pair of bloodshot eyes, "No! We can't retreat now! If we go back now, we will all die in vain! The battle can't be fought like this!"
"Withdrawing troops means admitting defeat! And we..." Xu Chu turned around and inspected the battlefield, and said fiercely, "Put away the flag!"
"What?" The guard didn't understand.
"Put up the general's flag!" Xu Chu confirmed the order again.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he was attacked by Cao Jun's catapult.
At that time, he discovered that danger was coming from the sky, and then he shouted for the troops to disperse, but in fact his order was not conveyed, but his men dispersed some queues automatically...
Immediately, those cruel and bloody scenes crashed into Xu Chu's eyes again.
Xu Chu couldn't swallow this breath.
Then Xu Chu realized a mistake of his. He was not a serious cavalry general. He was more familiar with commanding infantry, but his control and command of cavalry was a little slower than those of cavalry generals.
And for the cavalry who pursue speed, a slower beat means exposing more flaws!
After realizing his own gap, Xu Chu had a new idea.
What is elite?
The troops who only know how to obey orders and execute them strictly can indeed be called elites, but they lack a little agility and a little soul!
Originally, the souls were held in the hands of generals and hung on the flags. But now, under such extreme circumstances, Xu Chu began to want to roll up the flags and release these "souls"!
Let professionals do professional things!
"I'm not willing to withdraw like this! Are you willing?" When Xu Chu saw that his guards were still moving, he said angrily, "One thing will disappear and the other will grow! As soon as our army withdraws, the enemy will pursue us! Don't roll up the flag."
,How can Cao Jun be so confident in pursuing him?!』
The guards who could follow Xu Chu were basically veterans of the military. After hearing what Xu Chu said, he immediately understood.
But I understand, but this is a risky move!
Since Cao Jun set up such a strategy, it is of course impossible for Cao Jun to do nothing after the Hussars were seriously damaged, allowing the Hussars to withdraw and then regroup. However, Cao Jun wanted to focus on attacking Xu Chu's branch, so he ordered the Hussars to retreat.
The cavalry attack on the left and right wings of the cavalry was not large, which meant that the cavalry units under Xu Chu only damaged the original cavalry of the central army, while the cavalry on the left and right wings were generally intact.
Therefore, Xu Chu decided to set a trap for Cao Jun. He rolled up the flag, did not issue any orders, and pretended that the general was damaged, so as to lure more Cao Jun to attack and kill him.
"Roll up the flag, just in case, just in case..."
The guard said "in case" twice and did not continue, but his meaning was understood by several people present.
Xu Chu's face was somewhat ashen, and his expression was extremely serious. He said slowly, "Roll up the flag, retreat ten miles, then raise the flag again, and counterattack the enemy! Kill those Cao troops who are chasing after them! I believe in our
Soldiers and generals can definitely do it!』
The plan is simple.
But it is not that easy to implement it.
Even in the era of walkie-talkies and frontline radios, it was a common problem for frontline troops to make their own decisions about whether to fight and whether to leave.
Xu Chu's left and right wings plus the center cavalry amounted to 3,000 people. Even if something went wrong, the fast horses could adjust in time. However, if the battlefield is huge and there is a large-scale collapse, it will be difficult to save even if there is a large-scale collapse.
Disaster!
Seeing that Xu Chu had made up his mind, the guards stopped talking.
Someone stepped forward to help and rolled up the flag representing Xu Chu.
Xu Chu watched silently, and then turned his gaze to the wing where Li Li was.
He doesn't have much confidence in Qubei, but he has confidence in Li Li...
Although he could not immediately send a message to Li Li on this battlefield, Xu Chu believed that the guy who could develop new tactics would be able to understand his meaning and coordinate with him to create a beautiful counterattack.
As for getting rid of humiliation...
snort.
…
…
At this time, Cao Jun's camp was already shouting "Ouch", like Erha who had been locked in a cage for too long, rushing out while shaking his tongue.
Outside Cao Jun's camp, the large area where the catapult struck was already a scene of Shura Hell.
Whether it is a human or a horse, regardless of whether it is wearing armor or not, there is almost no difference in the face of the kinetic energy of the stone.
Although the hussars and horses are skilled in causing chaos and have strict orders, they are still made of flesh and blood. After being caught off guard by Cao Jun, they could not use their flesh and blood to resist the attack of the catapult. Moreover, in that kind of danger, stones fell from the sky.
Under the tumultuous situation, even the most elite soldiers would inevitably become a little panicked, and some soldiers even collided with each other, causing unnecessary damage.
The hussars who had finally escaped the attack of Cao Jun's catapults were shocked when they saw the roaring and releasing a large group of Erha in Cao Jun's camp. They subconsciously turned back to look at Xu Chu's general position.
If Xu Chu’s general’s flags were not found, it would be chaos!
The war drums roared in the camp of Cao Jun, and countless soldiers of Cao Jun roared and rushed forward. The hussars and horses who had lost their ranks were unable to resist the numerous Cao Jun troops. They instinctively began to retreat and flee, and the temptation became more and more loud and loud.
, chased to death.
Bao Zhong was in Cao's army. Although he was holding his sword high and roaring in pursuit, he was uneasy in his heart. He was like a gambler who made a big move but got a small one. While feeling regretful, he wanted to take away his chips.
Come back and bet again…
Was his choice the right one?
If the Hussars were really defeated like this, the Hundred Medical Center would naturally be in ruins. Also, if he was stabbed out by that kid from before, his head would definitely be missing!
Damn it!
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have chosen so early...
But my elder brother...
So, the current situation...
If it is really exposed, I will pass the blame to the guy who never knew...
What to do now...
In Bao Zhong's mind, hundreds of thoughts were swirling around and over again, and his actions were inevitably half a beat too slow. This was in line with the "slower" thing he had always mentioned before. When Bao Zhong discovered this problem himself,
By that time, they had already fallen to the rear position...
He never knew when he came to Bao Zhong's side and said, "General Bao, well done!"
"..." Bao Zhong had a stern look on his face.
I was distracted just now and didn’t really want to do this. Can you believe it?
"Lend me a flag later..." Changji suddenly said, "Let's see if we can take the opportunity to contact..."
"What?!" Bao Zhong was shocked, "Are you crazy?! Now?!"
"Now is the most important thing!" Chang said, "And this time, I need my people to contact..."
He always looked at the messy battlefield and said, "These people who died are all due to your negligence, General Bao... It can't happen a second time!"
"You're crazy, you must be crazy!" Bao Zhong gritted his teeth, "Why don't you use your own flag?!"
I always said, "If I can have my own, why should I borrow it from you?"
It has never been at the level of a general, so naturally it cannot be called a general's flag.
"..." Bao Zhong remained silent.
"Don't worry, isn't it normal for you to throw away one or two flags when you escape?" Changjiang chuckled, "And... listen to me, I guarantee you will benefit!"
"You...you really believe that the general of the Hussars Army is fine?" Bao Zhong looked ahead, looking at the extremely excited soldiers of Cao's army who were desperately chasing them, and couldn't help feeling a little chilly in his heart, "How do you know? What on earth do you think?"
How did you get in touch?』
He always laughed and said, "You are wrong, I don't believe in this former general... I just believe in the Hussars!"
