Chapter 3343 Whose resentment is the resentment in the resentment
The land of Hedong has been a must-fight for military strategists since ancient times.
Everyone understands this, but who can compete for it is the most critical issue.
Fei Qian personally led a large army from Linfen and headed straight to Anyi.
The military flag was flew, the soldiers and horses were scattered, and the iron hooves shattered the morning dewdrops, which also alarmed the birds and beasts living in the forest. The team moved forward slowly with solemn steps. The soldiers' eyes were firm, their armor was bright, and their swords and guns were like forests, showing the majesty and integrity of the cavalry.
This is a scene that some "cultural people" think...
But in fact, the march is not that beautiful.
Although Fei Qian is also an old army, every marching process is a torture.
First of all, I have no hands...
Well, in fact, Fei Qian has become accustomed to it without electronic products, and the most painful thing during the march is that there is no water.
In other words, there is no bottled water that can be drunk anytime and anywhere in the future.
Acid slurry water is the basic standard.
After drinking for many days, Fei Qian wondered if his teeth could last until his forties or fifties.
For example, on a TV movie, you can drink with cowhide bags with your head raised and drink it with a big mouthful. It will definitely choke and cause vomiting. Because the sour water is actually a slightly fermented rice soup or soy sauce.
This fermented taste mixed with aged cowhide water sacs to form a sewer-like atmosphere.
Just don't breathe when drinking...
Don't smack your lips, otherwise you will definitely regret it.
And you can't drink too much, otherwise it will be very difficult to urinate on the horse's back.
You can't let the army march and then run out and pee first?
That's right, when the entire army is marching, it is not allowed to report any reports to pee. If you really can't help it, you will pee in your crotch. Only diarrhea will be allowed to leave the queue. Because diarrhea often means a disease and cannot be left in the queue for infection.
Since leaving Emei Ridge, not only Fei Qian personally discovered the pollution source left by Cao's army, but also found many doubtful water sources when patrolling and cruising scouts outside. Therefore, Fei Qian once again emphasized that it is strictly prohibited to use soldiers to drink raw water at will along the way. Only after cooking and disinfecting after camping can soldiers drink water.
Fei, as the commander, must set an example, especially to maintain the majesty of the General of the Cavalry. He cannot be called General Zanxi by his soldiers. He is right?
Therefore, during the march, Fei Qian always needs to control the amount of water he drinks. He will only drink some sour water when he is very thirsty, so that he will not need to urinate along the way.
Although most bacteria and parasites will be killed and inactivated under high temperatures, some toxic components will not decompose due to high temperatures. In order to ensure safety, Feiqian can only travel along roads with flowing water sources.
The flowing river water also involves Cao's army's movements.
Those wooden boards and pieces that were found by scouts, floating in the river, are actually wooden boxes containing rotten corpses, buried or sunk into the river. However, because of the flow of the river, these things were brought out.
Of course, even if the flowing river water contains viruses, bacteria, botulinum toxin, etc., it will be diluted due to the flow of water. Therefore, it can be generally drinkable after being cooked at high temperature...
A small number of soldiers will have some adverse reactions after drinking, such as vomiting and diarrhea, but they are relatively mild. After a little rest, you can recover.
Therefore, Fei Qian is unlikely to go fast this way, unless he wants to go south like Xu Chu, mainly cavalry, infantry get on the chariot and directly transform into semi-mechanical. Well, no, it is a semi-livestock army...
Well, it seems even more weird.
Forget it, it's all about water anyway.
After camping, Fei Qian drank a bag of water with great pain, then urinated with a bubble of smelly and slutty urine, took off his pocket and let his scalp breathe. Only then could he sit at the table with a little more comfortable look and look at the latest battle report sent by the front line again.
Regarding the assessment of Xu Chu's previous army's war, Fei Qian's conclusion was that although there were minor mistakes, there were no major mistakes and he initially achieved his pre-war goals.
Then Xun Chen gave a more comprehensive explanation of the situation in the early stages of the war.
During the early battle with the Cao army camp, there were several key factors for the Cavalry Army to have an active advantage.
The most important thing is the new tactics developed by Li Li. When the war report was delivered to Fei Qian, Fei Qian thought Li Li was reincarnated as a Qing army, because this tactic is very similar to the tactics of the early stage of Da Braid.
Big braids... Well, it should be small braids, because in the early Qing Dynasty, due to the extremely low sanitary conditions and the need to fight in the deep mountains and forests, no one would have big braids, they were all small and short braids. Otherwise, there would be halfway through the fight and suddenly there would be a technical pause, "Start up! You have pressed my braids!"
The shooting tactics of the Qing soldiers were practiced in the deep mountains and forests. They rode horses to startle birds and beasts, and then shot quickly through shrubs and trees. Those who could make a name for themselves were all amazing warriors. This cannot be denied.
Therefore, in the early Qing Dynasty, the infantry fronts of the Ming Dynasty often could not withstand the impact of the Qing army.
However, the biggest problem with Braiding is that there are few people and poor culture. Even if it integrates Chinese traitors, it cannot change the essence of their nomadic slavery. Therefore, a country can be destroyed by force, but it cannot be built by building a country.
After the death and corruption of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. The reason why Kang Mazi could hold on and dried cowhide could be stamped everywhere is to sincerely thank sweet potato for their life-extending grace.
Of course, the sweet potatoes here save the braids is just a joke. After all, historical events are often determined by many factors, but the Chinese people were indeed able to hold on as long as they had a bite to eat...
In fact, when Kang Mazi was there, there was still a batch of elite seeds left, and then all the dried cowhide was given.
Anyway, it’s because of the fact that the master Tianzi sells it.
After carefully studying Li Li's tactics, Fei Qian found that there was actually a big difference between it and the Qing archers and cavalrymen.
One is that Li Li was originally a archer who was transferred to a lancer, so Li Li and others' melee ability was obviously stronger than that of the Qing archer, and they could change weapons to hand-to-hand combat at any time. However, the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Qing archer, not bad, but how strong it was, it was insulting the soldiers who bravely resisted in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, the rural training organized by the gentry in Jiangnan could beat the Qing army to scream, and of course the rural training itself was also very damaged.
Another aspect is that Li Li also specially carried grenades. This weapon has made up for the shortcomings of the archers at least at this stage, and even for a long time to come, and at the same time strengthened its power. Grenades can be used for attack or defense in combat. Offense can be used to shake the turtle shells of the archers that are difficult to transmit, and defense can be used to intercept the assault of the opponent's lancers during the weak period of rapid shooting of the archers.
Very strong, very good.
However, Fei Qian's request to expand Li Li's tactics to the number of archers was rejected.
It's very simple. Feiqian is not like a slight blow. Only a little thing can be blown.
Although Feiqian puts cavalry first, it is because under the current scientific and technological production level, cavalry is undoubtedly a group of troops that an empire must focus on and meet military needs.
If Fei Qian only wants to conquer the Central Plains and unify the Three Kingdoms, then it is enough to add infantry and gunpowder, and there is no need to develop cavalry.
Now under Fei Qian's command, there are archers and cavalrymen who have changed their positions in lancers like Li Li, cruising cavalry specializing in ultra-long-distance detection and infiltration, and heavy melee lances similar to those of the Feixiong Army, which were both armoured by the horse-splitting and men...
But now some changes are taking place.
Fei Qian thinks it is good to have an additional type of cavalry, but there is no need to use it as a key to develop and support it.
After all, Fei Qian doesn't need to be like a braid, and he is dedicated to dealing with the Ming infantry.
So Li Li is worthy of commendation, and Fei Qian immediately issued a promotion order for Li Li, but it is inappropriate to blindly expand the number of archers. Fei Qian still feels that it is encouraged to change positions with this talent, but other people without shooting talent can also try other troops, and they do not need to hang themselves on a tree.
In addition, during this battle of the front army, long-range strike forces became more and more important.
Whether it was Fei Qian or Cao Cao, they were obviously aware of this problem.
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, crossbows were still kings, such as Ju Yi's powerful crossbow halberd soldiers, but soon the crossbows became younger brothers in front of further attack weapons. The human body was undoubtedly fragile in front of these long-range weapons, and the main casualties of the cavalry front army also proved this.
When they first competed with Cao's scouts and suppressed Cao's army's periphery, there were not much casualties, but under Cao Hong's tactic of throwing chariots, there were serious casualties. Nearly a thousand minor injuries, six hundred serious injuries, and nearly a thousand deaths were directly killed. It was not bad.
'The power of the equipment is so!' Xun Chen sighed, 'I heard that Cao's army was good at utensils and made stones, which could shake the city and break the hard village. Today, it was true. Although Zhongkang was defeated, he would not be in chaos. He should not punish him severely to make up for his mistakes.
Fei Qian nodded, saying nothing about Xu Chu's guilt, but just expressed his intention to discuss it after the war. Fei Qian was more interested in that Cao Cao clearly did not have a craftsman inheritance system similar to that established by Fei Qian in Hedong, Guanzhong, but he still had so many craftsmen under his command. It was indeed quite touching to build so many catapults in Hedong.
First of all, it must be pointed out that China's current military level, at least in the construction of the city's defense system, is currently ahead of the whole world.
Because China has been constantly fighting in the Central Plains since ancient times, it has invested a lot in the technology of the city wall defense system in ancient China and is also very powerful.
Among the Shimao ruins that were earlier than the Xia Dynasty, there were three-level city gate structures, barrier walls, piers, double wall cities and other defensive methods.
In terms of the development of the thickness of the city wall, China is far superior to other countries of the same period, so Feiqian could easily destroy the capitals of the Western Regions with artillery, but it might not be able to use artillery to collapse the prefectures of a county in the Central Plains.
Because China began to use "three-in-one soil" to build walls, lay foundations, and seal the tombs at a very early age. It also added glutinous rice, egg white, brown sugar, animal blood, tung oil, plant juice, minerals, etc. to mix and cook... Well, the rammed earth wall built is like iron and steel.
In other words, the lime and three-metal city wall structure used in ancient China was at least a thousand years earlier than the volcanic ash primary cement of ancient Rome. The traditional Chinese rammed earth wall was extremely thick, with a thickness of more than ten meters, and some were 20 meters thick, while the famous Constantinople wall was only six meters thick. The wall of Hatra fortress, which successfully resisted the Roman Empire's full siege three times, was only three meters.
As for those fortresses everywhere, the fortresses in the English and French medieval fortresses, which were known for their forts, the thickness was generally no more than two meters.
It is precisely because the defense system of the Huaxia city wall is too strong that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were specialized knowledge of siege, as well as a group of masters such as Gongshu Ban and Mozi who were involved in the theory of attacking and defending the city. Even so, ordinary siege methods could not meet the needs of war, so unconventional means came into being.
For example, flooding.
After all, for rammed earth city walls, water is naturally its important nemesis, but it may not necessarily be successful. Some have succeeded, and some have failed.
So siege equipment such as trench machines are very important...
This is a problem that almost everyone understands. However, in the feudal dynasties that followed the Han Dynasty, the city walls were still sharp and thicker, but the siege technology such as catapults could almost be said to have stagnated.
Later, all kinds of fancy names in the feudal dynasty seemed to be the three-end, five-end, seven-end, etc. that were constantly updated and iterated, but in fact there was no big breakthrough or change.
Especially when Fei Qian discovered that Cao Cao had no decent craftsman system, he could create a large-scale array of catapults. In comparison, the feudal dynasties that followed were simply...
However, Fei Qian thought about it carefully and could understand the reason.
The technology of catapults is actually not too profound.
Leverage principle.
But it is a very long-range attack...
If ordinary people have mastered this, it would be great?!
The crossbows are going to be banned, let alone the catapult?
In this matter, the sensible "cultural person" is strongly supported.
After all, "cultural people" are, no matter what era they are in, they like to give a few tips, "Ah, this world is not good recently, and the people are very angry... Haha, hehe..."
In fact, this is really a sign of concern for the world or the people, and is feeling that the harsh government is more powerful than the tiger?
Not.
These "cultural people" are just saring the horse and monkeys squeaking on the trees, saying that I am like this, what can you do? You don’t even have a long-range weapon, and you are afraid that you will not succeed. If you are the one who can scratch me!
Fei Qian couldn't help but wonder, if we continue to develop and promote long-range weapons from now on, and spread and spread among the people, although it will indeed bring great difficulties to rule, will there be fewer "cultural people" who commented from later generations that "the people are very angry recently"?
The people's anger?
Whose resentment is this resentment?
However, Fei Qian did not expect that he would soon welcome a person full of "resentment"...
A surnamed Cao.
Cao Zhao.
Cao Zhao was tied up with his hands and dragged his feet, staggering step by step on the soil plate. He was gasping heavily, and the green blood vessels on his neck were like a blood-sucking insect, penetrated from his skin to his heart.
Behind him was the defeated army of Cao's army.
The defeated soldiers of Gufeng Mountain.
Cao Zhao was like a knight who was rushing towards a windmill, and "bravely" raided Fei Qian's rear transportation road. As soon as he came out of the mountain, he was discovered by a cruising scout. He was immediately defeated and captured on the charge road.
Some Cao's soldiers fell on the charge road, while Cao Zhao and others were caught and failed to escape because they did not have enough war horses.
In the queue, a soldier from Cao's army looked very angry. Although his arms were tied, it was obvious that he was still struggling and trying to get rid of the constraints. Because he was not used to being treated like a livestock, after all, before, he and they regarded others as livestock.
Shandong has a strict class, and the level of the class is what kind of treatment you enjoy. As the core personal guard of the Cao family, the monthly food and salary are basically three times that of other ordinary soldiers, and there are also some welfare benefits from time to time. Therefore, these people are not dissatisfied with the Cao family's political group, and naturally they will be more loyal to the Cao family.
Of course, people will die when they come to the war. Everyone knows this, but since they are not dead now, they should enjoy the same class-level treatment as in Shandong. How can they tie him up with ordinary Cao's soldiers?
And he and Shaolangjun are so separated?!
How can this work?
But no one paid attention to his "legitimate request".
If you catch it, you will tie it up on the spot. Could it be that you still have to classify it?
But Cao Zhao's personal soldiers thought this matter was meaningful. He felt that if he could not figure out this matter out and could not follow Cao Zhao's side, then he would have no value.
Many, many years have passed, and as long as he can remember, their family has planted land from other people's homes. He is a person who likes to farm. His father and grandfather are all good ways to grow crops...but their family has no land.
Later, the Cao family became more developed and his family suddenly had land.
So what's the problem with him fighting for the treatment he deserves for Cao Zhao?
But his behavior seemed to be provoking in the eyes of the Hussars.
So soon a Hussar soldiers came over, and after the order failed to stop him, they beheaded him with one sword.
This scene happened in front of Cao Zhao.
Cao Zhao didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth.
Cao Zhao didn't say anything, so the other Cao army soldiers would not speak out.
The queue quickly returned to peace.
But in Cao Zhao's eyes, there seemed to be the "resentment" mentioned by the "cultural people" and was churning...
Chapter completed!
