Chapter 3355 The ups and downs of human heart
If the Cao army camp that besieged Anyi City was compared to an egg, then the camp built by Cao army near the outside of Anyi City would probably be an ostrich egg.
The troops led by Fei Qian were like a group of little black insects.
In history, Liu Bei marched into Yiling, claiming to be a joint venture of 700 miles, but in fact there were no joint ventures, only about 70 miles, and at most no more than 100 miles. The joint venture of 100 miles began to fight in front of the front and the rear had not received any news. At that time, Liu Bei's troops were only about 30,000 to 50,000. Mr. Luo said that there were 750,000, which was just a necessary exaggeration.
There are 30,000 to 50,000 people, and the joint camp is 70 miles away. The terrain in the dense forest mountainous area of ​​Yiling is lengthened and easy to understand.
So now the Cao army has a main combat force of 10,000, and the servants assisted 20,000 soldiers. The people who are robbed are in robbery and are unable to complete. Relying on the water source line to build a camp with a radius of more than 20 miles is that it is impossible to complete?
Cao Cao has captured a large number of people in Heluo and Hedong, so it is naturally impossible to raise them for nothing. Some were taken to Shandong, and some were sent to Anyi to repair the earth.
What is the best way to attack in the face of such a large camp?
It was to sprinkle all the soldiers and cavalry under his command, just like a group of small black insects biting ostrich eggs, biting them in the east and the west?
This aimless attack, futile consumption, is undoubtedly the stupidest solution.
The best choice is to lead the whole.
The tactical formation is not only determined according to your actual situation, but also affected by many factors.
For example, the political interests of group alliances.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was a regime established by aristocratic manor landlord economy represented by the big landlords and families in Jizhou and Yuzhou. However, in terms of law, it inherited the Western Han Dynasty legal system formed by the old Qin foundation of the Guanlong Group, the Sichuan-Shu Alliance, so in fact, the Eastern Han Dynasty had more problems than the Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Xiu couldn't solve the contradiction between this thing even though he wanted to break his head. He could only establish the capital of Luoyang between the east and the west to balance and regulate, and look forward to the wisdom of future generations. But it is obvious that Liu Xiu's descendants of the Eastern Han Dynasty would only choose to lie flat most of the time.
Therefore, among the interests of Cao Cao's Shandong political group, the most valuable or lowest consumables are ordinary people and civilians.
Fei Qian's current political collection is a new political system formed by the integration of wandering gentry, poor families, military masters, and the Hu people, etc. in the northern part of Jingxiang. Because it is a newly built political system, the cake has not been cut yet, and the internal contradictions cannot be said to be completely missing, but it is not as big as in Shandong.
With the rapid expansion of Fiji's potential Guanzhong and Longxi, it opened up the trade routes that were originally inextricable with each other, and worked hard to accelerate its development, repelled the surrounding Hu regime and small and medium-sized national forces, curbed the evolution and deterioration of the Western Regions, and naturally became the strongest political force of the Han Dynasty.
From this point of view, Fei Qian could not take Cao Cao's route of consuming food.
Cao Cao was consuming ordinary people and civilians who had no political voice and no political status. If Fei Qian followed Cao Cao's rhythm, he would consume his own foundation and future development potential!
By understanding this, you can understand that the war between Cao Fei in the ninth year of Taixing was not a conflict between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, but a conflict between the political group they represented. At this point, Fei Qian is much happier than Cao Cao, because Lao Cao not only needs to fight Fei Qian, but also needs to deal with the pig teammates in the rear.
Cao Cao changed into casual clothes, simple helmet and battle robe, like an ordinary military academy, and did not set up any flags. If he didn't look carefully, he was now completely different from the substitute on the platform.
He wanted to take another look at Fei Qian before leaving.
What a deep love...
Ahem.
In fact, Cao Cao had a knot in his heart.
He can't figure it out.
He was about to leave, but he had never been relieved, so he didn't leave.
But now we have to leave. If we don’t leave, we may not be able to leave soon...
The Anyi Daying is called a Daying, but it should actually be called a joint venture.
Although it is not as exaggerated as Liu Da'er in Yiling, it is not small anymore.
Fei Qian's cavalry army could only control an area north of the camp, but could not control the entire periphery of the Cao army camp.
The military strategy is full of clouds, and it is surrounded by ten times.
Xu Chu was on the north side of the Cao army camp. Assuming that the Cao army did not interfere with any of the Cao army, the scouts who set out at Mao hour in the morning bypassed the Cao army camp within a radius of twenty miles at a speed of 80 miles a day. When he arrived at the south side of the Cao army camp, he happened to find precious information and immediately returned to his camp to report the news. How many hours would it take in total?
Unless these cavalry scouts can eat, drink, and shit like keyboard warriors on the Internet, the maximum weight on their bodies is a mouth, otherwise it is impossible to surround a large Cao army camp. The effectiveness of the motor power is also limited.
Think about it, even if there are communication tools and GPS positioning, you need to pull the net to find a missing person on the mountain, and hundreds of people may not be able to find it.
If Fei Qian really has ten times more troops than Cao Cao, what else can he fight?
But now there isn't, what about the future?
Cao Cao frowned.
future……
However, it may not be a good thing to really wait for Fei Qian to have ten times the strength of his troops.
Just like there are many soldiers at present, but everyone's hearts are also complicated.
Cao Cao scanned the battlefield in the distance and looked at the fronts listed by the Cavalry Army.
On the front line that was several miles long, the cavalry army seemed so calm, regardless of drums or copper whistles. There was no obvious stagnation or chaos when changing the queue. It seemed that it was so neat, as if it was originally a whole.
Cavalry, infantry, whether in square formation or formation, are all energetic and arranged in an orderly manner under the flags and golden drums. They are full of indescribable beauty. This feeling is generally like a later generation watching a military parade on site, which is even more shocking than a military parade. Because there is no killing during the military parade, but now here, it is true swords, guns and blood.
This neat queue not only conveys a strong visual stimulation, but also reflects an irresistible feeling in its momentum...
But Cao Cao saw that after Fei Qian climbed to the high platform, the troops of various parts of the front began to greet Fei Qian. The flags swayed like waves, and the cold light reflected from the armor and blades was constantly flashing. Even when they stood on the wilderness, they still seemed to have a solemn aura. Even Cao Cao, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, could not help but feel a little scared.
Cao Cao has been fighting in the south for many years. But when he saw this, he knew that the army brought by Fei Qian was far higher than his soldiers, whether in terms of military equipment, training, physical fitness, or momentum. It can be said that even the most core central army, the Central Guards under Cao Cao, may not be able to compete with Fei Qian's elite troops.
Cao Cao was also a little difficult to understand why they were all the same Han people. Even Cao Cao had borrowed a lot of Feiqian training scriptures to train the troops in private, and the equipment was basically the same, but why were the momentum shown obvious differences?
Cao Cao suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart, and the firm will he cultivated from years of war once again pressed the small emotion on the ground and beat him up. He looked up at the shadow on the platform, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
He was laughing at himself and also at the children of the gentry in Shandong.
It can be very powerful, but it is trying hard to pull the hindrance of people on their side. Everyone wants to climb up and climb onto the heads of others to act as a blessing, so once they see someone crawling in front, they don’t think about following, but thinking about how to pull that guy off so that they can climb up.
Of course, Cao Cao did not expect that this tradition of internal and external fighting against outsiders would be passed down for thousands of years and still remained in glory...
He was sure that the cavalry had arrived.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong's direction again, commanding on the front line.
Most of the soldiers and cavalry units in the middle were left by Cao Cao in the back row of the middle route, led by Cao Hong.
Except for Cao Hong, Cao Cao did not trust anyone.
Because Cao Hong's son died at the hands of the Cavalry Army, Cao Hong would never compromise with the Cavalry Army...
After watching for a while, when Cao Cao was about to leave quietly in his cloak, he suddenly heard the noise from the front line.
Cao Cao stopped, climbed the sentry again, staring at the Hussar formation that began to split in the distance, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"What does this guy want to do?"
I saw that the originally uniform cavalry army began to split into three parts. Although it was still the center and left and right, it was not a single infantry to the infantry, but the cavalry to the cavalry, but began to mix formations. At the same time, even the artillery battalion in the central government seemed to have started to move and began to divide some artillery, dragged by the livestock toward the two wings!
"Is this going to divide the formation? At the beginning, Cao Cao sneered, but soon he calmed down, "This Fei Ziyuan, so brave!"
At first, Cao Cao sneered because Fei Qian had relatively few soldiers and had to divide his troops with fewer soldiers, which meant that the forces of each part were dispersed. So Cao Cao thought Fei Qian was crazy or stupid at the beginning, but soon, Cao Cao thought of his own problems...
Fei Qian divided the troops, and the soldiers were basically the same as the three routes. Although there were not many soldiers in each route, with the support of artillery, it means that they had the ability to break through Cao’s camps and invade and break through in all directions!
Cao's camp is large and there are many soldiers, but the disadvantages are also here.
Just like a ghost knows which cloud has rain, Cao Cao doesn't know which part will be more likely to betray. If Fei Qian just used artillery to open the gap in one direction, Cao Hong would naturally be enough to deal with it alone, but now...
Cao Cao stared at the formation arranged by Fei Qian and murmured, "The front is wide and the depth is shallow... The rotation is much more flexible and there are few soldiers... The two wings are far away from the middle formation... As long as one is broken, the other two will be in chaos! Well... No, no! This is still luring troops!"
Cao Cao frowned and thought for a moment, and then called a guard, "Send a message to General Zi Lian... This new formation of cavalry is a strategy to lure troops! The cavalry army has strong cavalry but inferior infantry, and the artillery is beneficial but the number is small. If the field battles, the enemy will be beneficial. The front line should be stabilized and the enemy can be exhausted before it can be attacked! Act according to the plan and do not be greedy for a moment!"
The guard took the order and left urgently.
Although the Cavalry Army expanded very broadly and was divided into three parts, it was actually difficult for infantry to run at this distance, but the horse galloped was not too far away, so it was still within the range of support for the military formation, and its military line was still divided into two levels, and the core part was also the guards of heavy armor infantry.
At the same time, there are some scattered cavalry outside the formation. Cao Cao did not think that these rangers would just paddle from beginning to end. On the contrary, this is the most terrifying group of troops of the cavalry. Because no one knew when these scattered cavalry would gather into a cluster of cavalry with intensive charges.
What Cao's army has the advantage is that it has a large number of people and the fortifications in the camp are all ready. If you can't help but attack because you see Fei Qian's troops dispersed at this time, you might even fall directly into Fei Qian's calculations!
Cao Cao believed that artillery was just an embellishment, and cavalry was Fei Qian's killer weapon!
If there are no cavalry, Cao Cao has more than a dozen ways to dismantle the cannons into parts, but with cavalry on the side, Cao Cao's more than a dozen ways to stare. Only by eliminating or consuming the cavalry can the balance of the battle be truly changed.
Cao Cao took a look at some places in the camp again.
There were some people and some things in the camp that made Cao Cao very dissatisfied.
Among the Cao army, there were loyal people like Cao Hong, and those who had ulterior motives who thought Cao Cao had not noticed anything and knew nothing. When they thought of these guys, Cao Cao felt angry.
And it is not only in the camp, but also in Heluo, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and even in Yuzhou!
These people know that the General Fei Qian of the Cavalry is a great enemy, and they also know that once the Cavalry's Masato Shinta would suffer great losses after the Han Dynasty was promoted, they still delayed intentionally or unintentionally for the sake of the little benefits in front of them, and violated Cao Cao's orders!
If Cao Cao's defeat in this war was half of Cao Cao's defeat, then the other half was broken by these people!
Therefore, if all these people die, Cao Cao would have no pity at all.
Cao Cao snorted coldly, turned around and got off the mattress, and heard the sound of cheers like a tsunami from the array of the Cavalry.
"So what's wrong?" Cao Cao frowned.
Just now, something happened...
The guard climbed up a few steps quickly, then quickly got down, whispering: "The cavalry is parade in the military parade..."
Cao Cao took a breath, then turned to look at the platform.
The sound of the brocade robe on the high platform was still quiet, while the soldiers near the high platform were in order, but there was a silence...
Cao Cao's head hurt a little again. He pulled the guard beside him and gave orders twice. Then the guard ran to the high platform.
The cheers on the opposite side were still surging like a tsunami, but Cao Cao could only lower his head, hold up his cloak, pretending to be unable to hear anything, and his eyes were extremely complicated.
He cannot show up.
After all, there is still a "him" on the platform.
And now, he should leave. The battle is imminent, but Cao Cao escaped with his tail, oh, and cloak...
He confirmed that Fei Qian's arrival was used to cover up the situation, and also took advantage of the opportunity that Fei Qian attracted the attention of other ordinary soldiers in the Cao army camp, and quietly "turned in".
The fewer people are showing off their power, while the more people are fleeing in panic.
Although this is not Cao Cao's first "transition", when Cao Cao faced the Xiliang cavalry in history, he was more in a hurry and less pretentious...
Amidst the tide of cheers, Fei Qian rode his horse along the front line.
Since the sixth year of Zhongping, Fei Qian has come step by step from an unknown junior, overcoming obstacles little by little, and now it has gathered into everything in front of him. Behind this army, there is a powerful people's livelihood support system and reserve troops, a growing commercial system, industrial scientific research institutions, government supervision departments, etc. Although it is hard to say that it has surpassed the entire era, it is at least ahead of the present.
The victory of this war also means that Fei Qian and the political group under Fei Qian will enter a new era and will also bring the Han Dynasty into a new direction.
But this is still not easy.
It is easy to change something, but it is difficult to change people's hearts.
After patrolling around, Fei Qian returned to the midfield.
It seemed to be in order to compete with Fei Qian, and at this time, huge cheers and cheers sounded in Cao's camp, but the momentum seemed not as powerful as the Cavalry Army...
Fei Qian raised his telescope and looked at it. "Cao Cao" on the platform was waving around.
"Um……"
Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin.
He felt that Cao Jun's reaction seemed to be half a beat slower.
Of course, this is within an acceptable range. After all, the Cao army camp is very large, so it is normal for it to react slowly.
Cao has many soldiers.
There are many people, so many things.
Among Cao's army, just one armor is inconsistent.
The official is well-armed, and the soldiers are almost naked.
With the classification of classes, the distribution will of course not be fair.
Just like Swiss rolls and instant noodles, they are simply different grades of food.
Is it unfair? It's indeed unfair, but then what?
Nothing then.
For some reason, Fei Qian suddenly remembered some things that Zhang Xiu reported before, the people of Hedong and the people of Heluo...
Fei Qian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and summoned Xu Chu to his front.
Under the gloomy sky, the two armies facing each other seemed to be quiet at this moment.
There were only the neighing of horses and the sound of flags dancing in the wind on the battlefield.
『There are three directions, one of which is more unfavorable to us...』 Fei Qian smiled and said to Xu Chu, "Which one do you think is Zhongkang?"
