We have invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources in advance to build such a huge structure.
However, once the chips are pushed into the pot, they cannot be taken back at will.
unless……
Finally, we determined who lost and who won.
But for both Fei Qian and Cao Hong, there are not too many chips in their hands.
It takes certain skills to rely on small chips to win a big pot.
Fei Qian has few soldiers, which is easy to understand, but Cao Hong is the same, the soldiers he can use are not as many as he seems on the surface!
Cao Hong can make sure that there is no problem, but it is just the Zhonggang and the Zhonggu army. Among the Zhonggang and Zhonggu army, there are no qualified leading generals who can resist Fei Qian or Xu Chu!
What if someone else was sent...
That's not delivering vegetables to the cavalry and Xu Chu?
Cao Hong understood that his soldiers were actually inferior to Fei Qian in all aspects, but it did not mean that he would lose if he was inferior!
When Yuan Shao was powerful, was Cao Cao's troops stronger than Yuan Shao?
But in the end, it was Yuan Shao who lost!
As the core figure of Cao's army, Cao Hong certainly knew some of the "secrets" of that year.
At that time, Yuan Shao's army was infected with a plague, but this plague was not entirely a factor in the inability to adapt to the local situation of the soldiers.
After all, there were Yanzhou and Yuzhou below Jizhou back then, and there was no difference between north and south as far as the distance between Youzhou and Jiangnan.
In modern medicine, the disease is more reflected in the changes in the microbial environment, which leads to discomfort in the human body. It does not require special medication. It only needs to control the electrolyte balance, and can slowly adapt and recover.
Ancient Chinese medicine did not know what colony microorganisms were, nor did they know what electrolyte disorders were. But it is strange that ancient Chinese medicine medicine used to prevent diseases from being unable to accept the water and soil, which could be a piece of soil in this person’s hometown…
The main symptom of being unacceptable to the local environment is vomiting and diarrhea, which is actually not much different from plague. So in the early stage, if you think it is just "unacceptable to the local environment", then...
Therefore, Yuan Shao was so depressed that he could not advance, and he was unwilling to retreat. As a result, Wuchao was completely finished when he was burned.
So one of Cao Hong's purpose here is to drag Feiqian's army to "not adapt to the local environment"!
This is almost the largest pot with the smallest chips!
So whether it is Cao Cao or Cao Hong, he is willing to see Fei Qian fight little by little, chew slowly, and even try to use cavalry to surround Cao's army camp...
You know, Cao Cao is the most tolerant.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Cao Hong should avoid fighting head-on with Fei Qian, but should rely more on camps to defend and procrastinate.
After all, there is no problem with these ordinary soldiers under Cao Hong's army shooting and clamoring from a distance. Once they enter hand-to-hand combat, there will be many disadvantages and it is hard to describe. Cao Hong did not have much hope for these ordinary soldiers of Cao's army. After all, if these soldiers of Cao's army were all smart and capable, and the Buddha's and Gods blocked the Buddha's and Gods blocked the Gods, then they would not have fallen into the depressing scene today.
So Cao Hong did not really want to counterattack in a full-scale manner, but instead created a "open plank road and secretly crossing Chencang", oh, "open attack, secretly intercepting".
After all, there are many military tactics, so you should not defend the city wither.
As a defender, you need to attack from time to time. Whether it is raiding the opponent's midfield or burning the opponent's siege equipment, it is all to destroy the opponent's rhythm.
Therefore, Cao Hong's attack this time was the same, just to disrupt Fei Qian's rhythm.
Of course, if you can get some results, then it will naturally be better...
But Cao Hong felt that he had already responded and arranged as much as possible, but for some reason, he was still a little worried in his heart. It was like some ferocious beast hidden in his sight or in the place where he could not feel it, staring at him.
Where exactly is there a problem?
Or is it that he was not considerate well?
Cao Hong grabbed the sword tightly.
But the rhythm on the battlefield can never be paused just because someone’s thoughts are unclear, so that they can press the space at any time to pause, giving them plenty of time to adjust tactics and offensive rhythm...
The invisible progress bar of the countdown kept flashing, and finally entered the red area. Cao Hong finally gritted his teeth, like a gambler, "Start!"
Perhaps it was because in the early days, humans needed to obtain resources through risk in ancient primitive society to obtain proteins and fats that were generally difficult to obtain in plants, forcing humans to carry out high-risk hunting. In the end, part of the high-risk behavior derived from this hunting turned into a tendency to gambling.
In extreme uncertainty, complex and changeable emotions such as unknown, fear, tension, expectation, disappointment, surprise, etc. alternate with each other. Strong stimulation will lead to the control area of the silly and sweet instinctive brain of humans. I think I have encountered the danger of the ancient times again, so I release dopamine, speed up the blood and heartbeat, and provide more oxygen and energy to the whole body to help humans overcome the enemy and avoid risks.
Then the silly Bai Tian was naturally used.
The large-scale concentrated release of this dopamine is of certain addictive nature, that is, gambling, alcoholic, and other addictive behaviors are very difficult to control and eliminate.
It's like hand-punching, it's always the last time...
Cao Cao is gambler, and Cao Hong also has it.
And on the battlefield, the most deadly thing is "a bet"...
Maybe you can win this time, but it does not mean that this tactic or strategy is right, but it is very likely that it was a coincidence. However, this incident may make the next bet even worse.
Cao Hong had bet once before, with both losing and losing, but overall, the pleasure of winning far exceeded his depression of losing. Because in the last battle, the winners of the Central Leader Army and the guards of the Central Leader Army, while the losers were just ordinary Cao's army and county soldiers, so of course Cao Hong could not feel the pain of losing, and he still had the desire to win in his heart.
Small cards, when it is time to fold, they are reluctant to give up, hold small chips, but always want to be greedy for a big pot, so there is naturally only one result...
...
...
On the battlefield, there are many times when the correct orders lead to bad consequences.
The complexity and unpredictability of war often exceed human imagination.
An expected small-scale encounter may evolve into a full-scale battle due to the arrival of enemy reinforcements, resulting in the original combat plan being unable to work and then into an uncontrollable collapse.
On the battlefield, the transmission of information is crucial. Any minor mistakes may be amplified during the transmission process, ultimately causing the commander's intention to be misinterpreted or improperly executed. Even if it is an extremely correct command, it may lead to catastrophic consequences due to mistakes or misunderstandings during the transmission process.
The Cavalry Army was divided into three parts. Cao Hong used all-round attacks as a response, which was actually a good method, but Cao Hong forgot a little. No matter how good the decision was to deal with it, it still needed people to make and execute it!
Cao's army rioted, and four gates opened wide, and immediately, soldiers and horses clamored out, which naturally attracted the attention of Fei Qian and Xun Chen.
Seeing this scene, Fei Qian couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, even if I have already regarded the soldiers of the Cao army as cockroaches in my heart, such a large group suddenly surged out... Oh, the four groups will inevitably make people stand tall.
Is Cao Jun going to Allin?
For Fei Qian, the Cao army's entire attack was a relatively troublesome thing.
Just as mentioned before, Fei Qian's bargaining chips are slightly insufficient.
Although the cards are big, there are not many chips.
So even if Fei Qian followed Allin, he could only win the part of his chips, and the other part would likely see him escape for nothing...
In the era without machine guns, it takes a lot of effort to destroy the opponent's soldiers on a large scale, or simply suppress the attack of the opponent's soldiers. Once the opponent forms a state of mountains and fields, many times he can only rely on attacking part of the attack to deter other parts, and rarely can directly crush the opponent and defeat them in one breath. Especially those with fewer troops like Fei Qian than Cao's army, it is even more impossible to solve the problem by head-on battle.
However, Fei Qian soon discovered an abnormality.
After all, Fei Qian has been through the battlefield for a long time. After a little observation, he found that these Cao troops shouted loudly, but their actions were not firm and decisive enough. They were just shouting at the edge of the camp, but few troops advanced forward...
『Some meaning...』
After watching for a while, Fei Qian suddenly laughed.
Obviously, the Cao army soldiers sent by the Cao army did not have enough courage. Therefore, these soldiers chose the same strategy and rely on the defense of the camp to boost their courage.
Everyone hopes that others are fools, and they rush forward with a solid heart, but they find that everyone is standing still and even retreating.
『Haha…this soldiers…』
Fei Qian laughed twice and then got stuck because he thought of a new problem.
Since the Cao army sent out ordinary Cao army soldiers, where did the Central Leaders and Central Guards go?
Left wing?
Right wing?
Middle array?
Or are you going to break through?
Or are the above answers incorrect, just to deliberately consume soldiers and horses?
Fei Qian raised the telescope.
Left wing.
Xu Chu had already rushed into the Cao army camp under the city of Anyi.
The cavalry on the periphery is on guard.
The artillery team is cleaning and adjusting.
The direction of Cao's army camp was blocked by Anyi City...
front.
The Cao army's soldiers' fronts shrank and took three steps further, and there were no cavalry yet.
And even if Cao's army really attacks here, the Cao army will have to bear the risk of being double-teamed by the left and right wings. Therefore, unless Cao Hong is preparing to take a gamble, he will not choose this method.
Right wing...
After thinking for a while, Fei Qian ordered again.
"Send the order to the right wing and take the initiative to attack!"
The order was sent out immediately.
Flags are waving.
The horn is low.
"Lord, are you going to try Cao's army?"
Xun Chen asked from the side.
Fei Qian nodded.
When you are not sure about the enemy's specific intentions, throwing out some chips to test the opponent's reaction is the most common method on the card table.
Fei Qian was unwilling to chew on the Cao army camp, so he could only lure Cao army to attack as much as possible.
There are too many defensive workers in the Cao army camp. If you really want to fight with Cao army camp, you will definitely suffer a loss. Therefore, if you can lure Cao army out and fight, it will obviously be more suitable. This is Fei Qian's most basic game bottom line.
As long as the final morale of Cao's army is reduced to a certain level, the scene of the camp down the slope will likely be re-spent.
Now Cao's soldiers are rushing out in large numbers. No matter what Cao's goal is, they will first chew a piece of meat!
If these ordinary Cao army soldiers were not hurt, most of the elite Cao army soldiers would not move lightly.
Xun Chen was still a little worried, "Lord, if Cao's army all set up a large army and attacked here..."
This is indeed a problem.
But, it's a pity...
"Although there are many Cao troops, but they are not in harmony, this is an opportunity to take advantage of." Fei said in a deep voice, "Even if Cao troops really come, there is a way to deal with it here."
If the Cao army really worked together, the current situation would definitely be different. At least it would not be like this now. It could only be supported by the Central Leader and Central Guardians of the Cao army. Once the Central Leader and Central Guardians also had problems, then the final failure of the Cao army would inevitably be inevitable.
Moreover, even if Cao's army really came to attack Fei Qian's mid-range, Fei Qian still had the means to deal with it.
"The lord is saying..." Xun Chen turned his head and looked, "Is it those vehicles?"
Fei Qian smiled and turned to look.
On both wings of the high platform of the Feiqin mid-formation, there are some strange-shaped vehicles.
These are new weapons, "Running Fire Thunder".
The name seems to be a little loud, but it is not actually a very strange item, just a simple gunpowder plus arrows, or the primary state of the rocket.
This kind of superficial rocket appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties.
It is clearly recorded that it was during the Northern Song Dynasty.
The original rocket was made of paper. Northern Song craftsmen rolled it into a paper tube with hard paper, loaded it with gunpowder, tied it to the arrow shaft, and led out the lead from a small hole on one side of the gunpowder cartridge. After it was ignited, it was fired with a crossbow. When the gunpowder cartridge was ignited, the sprayed gunpowder gas pushed the arrow forward.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was used by a large number of military forces, and rocket nests launched with multiple fire-fired fires appeared. Among them, 20 of them were called "Star Dragon Arrows", 32 of them were called "One Swaggers", and the most powerful one was the "Hundred Tigers Running Arrows" that were launched at a time. When the Ming army used these rockets to attack opponents, it would have a very terrifying effect. According to historical books, it described it as "A bus burns, thousands of arrows are fired at the same time. The momentum is like a thunder attack, no one dares to take the lead."
But then...
Weapons and equipment are still used by people. The weapons of the Ming Dynasty, which were famous for the explosion of the sky, did not save the internal struggle and the party's struggle to reach its extreme and destruction.
Fei Qian looked at these "Running Fire Thunder" and felt a little emotional.
The development of gunpowder in China has never been bad, but it was not fully valued and developed in the period of the big braids. Instead, it spread to the outside world, and in turn it overturned the big braids to the ground and ravaged them very much.
That's right, the point that Big Braidao has never admitted is to conceal and cover up some of the combat details of Bali Bridge back then. Because at Bali Bridge, the cavalry were not completely defeated by foreign guns and cannons, and there were also the contributions of British rockets. What's even more funny is that this British rocket technology was transmitted from the Ming Dynasty!
The rocket technology of the Ming Dynasty was later introduced to South Asia. At that time, the Indian Tumen Army produced multi-tube cluster rockets based on this technology, which changed them to metal shells. It also installed a six-meter-long balance guide rod to stabilize the flight direction, which once beat the British colonial army to scream. When fighting against Tumen of Mysore, the British colonial army was fiercely fired by the opponent's cluster rockets, causing heavy casualties. Therefore, the British army left a deep impression on these weapons with long range and fierce power. Later, some rockets were seized and sent back to their hometown to study...
In fact, before the British colonial army finally pressed the big braid to the ground and pulled off his pants, during the period when Humen was discontinued, the British colonial army's Queen steamer and three sampans used this rocket to attack the Humen fortress, igniting a fire. In order to threaten the big braid, the British also sent two rockets to the imperial envoy Qishan.
Da Braidi was also anxious at that time and quickly ordered the creation of the same rocket to fight against the British army. This kind of rocket was called the "Flying Fire Bronze Gun" and also had a balanced guide rod, which was similar to the British rocket. This kind of rocket was made based on the Ming Dynasty firearm classic "Fire Dragon Sutra". The "Fire Dragon Sutra" was written in the early 15th century, four hundred years ago...
Is it the result of using the technology from four hundred years ago to fight against the British army at that time?
As early as when Zuo Zongtang was quelling the rebellion in Xinjiang, he dug out more than a hundred "flowering bullets" from the Ming Dynasty fortress. He sighed: "This thing was already there three hundred years ago, but it has been lost now, and it has been bullied by the great powers."
These "Flying Fire Copper Guns" and "Flowing Bullets" show that the firearm technology in the Ming Dynasty did lead the world in some aspects. Later, if it did not stagnate, it would be possible to develop a thermal weapon system with unique Chinese characteristics, and eventually form a different thermal weapon confrontation pattern between the East and the West...
Unfortunately, the big braids were really focused on how to dress up, apply makeup, and combed braids. I have been persisting for three hundred years and have been busy developing any technology tree. So that whenever latecomers think about this, they can only sigh.
Now, Fei Qian has brought this rocket to the battlefield.
If artillery is good at armor-breaking strikes against strong heavy armor units and is used to destroy combat ranges such as city walls, camps and gates, then these "Running Fire Thunder" are good at dealing with flesh and blood units of light armor or China armor, whether they are cavalry or infantry!
In addition to Fei Qian's original physical damage, the crossbow warriors are equipped with a comprehensive damage system from magic to physics...
Now it is not that you are afraid of Cao's army coming, but that you are worried that Cao's army will not want to come on a large scale!
After all, "Running Fire Thunder" is good at everything, but there is only one disadvantage...
Well, that's right, it's costing.
If you have a few melons and two dates, it will not be enough money for gunpowder!
Fei Qian's high platform is waiting for it.
Come on, I'm here to make the storm come more violently!
