After repelling the soldiers and horses sent by Cao Hong, Xu Chu quickly fought out from the rear, solved the central guards blocking the main road, and connected with Bao Zhong's troops, but the first one he saw was Liang.
Finally, the password was matched and the identity was revealed.
Bao Zhong was unable to attack the suspension bridge, and knowing that Xu Chu was coming from behind, he retreated to pay his respects.
"I've seen the general, let's fight out now!" Bao Zhong patted his chest and said eagerly, "I know the way forward! As long as the general helps me, everything will be fine!"
Bao Zhong was eager to fight out, but Xu Chu came to the trench, glanced at the suspension bridge, then moved his nose slightly, and sneered, "There is still kerosene down here, are you ready to die immediately?"
?』
"Fire oil?!" Bao Zhong's expression changed drastically. He quickly stretched out his head to smell it, and suddenly cold sweat rolled down his face. "This... this wasn't there just now..."
Xu Chu pointed at the Central Guards on the opposite side, "Otherwise, why do you think they have to be stuck here?"
Bao Zhong swallowed his saliva and suddenly became confused, "Then, what should we do?"
Xu Chu took a look at it.
He never raised an eyebrow.
Xu Chu nodded slightly, but ignored Bao Zhong, and instead looked around. After a moment, he asked, "Why can't those civilians drive them away?"
"Those?" I have never been able to react for a while, "Oh, those common people... To put it bluntly, those common people... have been screened over and over again..."
"Screening?" When Xu Chu heard these two words, he suddenly felt a little enlightened. He suddenly understood why the Hussar General did not use the previous tactics. Because if there are such civilians and common people in Cao's army camp, then
It can’t be driven away at all!
Cao Jun...
No, how did Cao Cao do it?
Could it be the so-called "screening"?
If the hussar really used the previous tactics to drive away these civilians and break Cao's army, it would be impossible to say that he would be trapped in it in the end!
If Xu Chu hadn't discovered it early, this kind of civilians who couldn't run, couldn't bark, and couldn't even drive away would have become the biggest hidden danger for the army to attack Cao Jun's camp!
In fact, Xu Chu thought wrong. This kind of civilian husband is not the result of Cao Cao alone, but the excellent breed cultivated by Shandong over the years...
Fei Qian's soldiers were small in number, but they defeated Cao's army so hard that it couldn't lift its head.
Cao Cao had many soldiers, but they were a mob.
This is a general understanding, but it should be noted that everything and any person have two sides.
Cao's army could be a "rabble" for so many years, or in other words, the Central Plains soldiers in Shandong could continue to be a "rabble" for such a long time, not only in the Han Dynasty, but also in the subsequent feudal dynasties.
It’s not just an “accident”!
It is the "inevitable" that is carefully selected and cultivated!
Having more people and fewer people can be an advantage, but it does not necessarily lead to victory.
If the number of people is really compared, then the number of soldiers on both sides is far smaller than the number of civilians...
"This road is blocked! We have to find another way!" Xu Chu said in a deep voice, "Those civilians must be mobilized, otherwise our actions will be too conspicuous!"
Bao Zhong interjected from the side, "General, why can't you let the Hussars... Uh, haha, I just thought about it, I just thought about it..."
Bao Zhong suddenly realized that he could not join the conversation.
He didn't understand what Xu Chu Zai and Chang Chang said, and he didn't know why he said that. He didn't understand the connection between these civilians and the war. He couldn't even understand the meaning of the look between Xu Chu and Chang Chang...
He is impatient, he is nervous, he stretches his head, and he keeps a smile on his face.
But it's still of no use.
When Xu Chu arrived at the scene, he immediately realized that Bao Zhong was the only one who could make decisions and negotiate.
Xu Chu suddenly understood why the Cavalry General Fei Qian emphasized that he could not use the previous tactics directly...
If Xu Chu still follows the previous tactics and wants to use these people to advance in the camp, then there will definitely be a big problem!
First of all, these people will not run around and will not obey the orders of Xu Chu and others. Even if they are temporarily forced to leave, these people will quickly try to return to their original place...
What is this like?
Just like raised, completely domesticated pigs, dogs, cattle, horses and sheep!
In this world, only the awakened people have real power, otherwise they are just a bunch of cattle, horses and sheep without any ability to resist.
"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion..." Changjiang sighed, and then said, "If the general wants to drive these civilians, he can only use one method..."
Xu Chu frowned.
He knew the method, but he didn't want to use it.
If he used it like this, what would be the difference between him and Cao Jun?
These common people from Shandong, Heluo, and Hedong far outnumbered the fighting Cao Jun and Fei Jun. These common people were not really insignificant. They even tied yellow scarves on their bodies and dyed their flags.
They turned yellow and gathered under Zhang Jiao, making those dignitaries holding golden rice bowls and the Han Dynasty tremble!
But now, as soon as Zhang Jiao dies, the Babel Tower collapses.
Zhang Jiao's body was exhumed, his head cut off, and placed under the steps of the Han Dynasty Hall. He was trampled on and harassed day and night, making him unable to rest peacefully in Jiuquan forever.
As a result, the sand, stones and bricks of the Tower of Babel soon lost their original luster and became nothing more than pigs, dogs, cattle, horses and sheep.
Cao Jun used knives, guns, sticks, whips, and cheap, rotten leftovers from the labor results of the direct labor of these pigs, dogs, cattle, horses, and sheep to firmly control these pigs, dogs, cattle, horses, and sheep, making them live.
Death, they cannot live, cannot die, it is difficult for them to live, and it is difficult for them to die.
Since these pigs, dogs, cattle, horses and sheep have suffered so much under Cao Jun, when Fei Qian's soldiers attack Cao Jun's camp, will these people pick up the sticks and stones at hand and run towards a new life?
, how about welcoming the new light?
terribly sorry.
It's a pity.
Very helpless.
"The Master said on the river, the dead are like this!" Seeing that the cattle and horses are keeping their own behavior, the nobles and officials can feel at ease with their high crowns on their heads and have a feast like flowing water.
Looking at Xu Chu's face, he suddenly smiled and patted his armor, "General, don't forget, I... am still Cao Jun..."
"Huh?" Xu Chu frowned slightly, "Is it feasible?"
He always sneered, "They recognize this armor! In the eyes of these civilians, this armor can represent the big man, Cao Jun, and their heaven and earth... Humph, as for who is wearing the armor?"
, they don’t recognize it either!』
Xu Chu was silent for a while, then nodded: "Shan! Just do it like this, incite the people and disrupt the camp, so that we can take advantage of the situation!"
He has always taken orders, and he also has a little idea, ready to take a gamble...
…
…
The moment the chaos broke out in Cao's camp, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Xiahou Dun's heart!
He is the number two figure in Cao's army. If he is in Cao's army, no matter how "simple" he is, he still has the necessary attire. Not to mention the special luxury tent, even the general utensils are the same as those of ordinary Cao's soldiers.
It was different. And even this kind of utensils, compared with the things he used daily or the things used by other Xiahou clan, Xiahou Dun could call them "hard and simple".
After all, the so-called high or low depends on who is compared.
If compared with those extravagant gentry children in Shandong, Xiahou Dun, who can wear a brocade robe until it is worn out, is certainly a model of extreme simplicity, but if compared with Fei Qian who is wearing Gebu robes around him now, those before Xiahou Dun
"Simplicity" is nothing. So for Xiahou Dun at this age, it was really exhausting to arrive here in a "simple and unsophisticated way" after living in the open air.
But these expenditures of energy and physical strength are nothing compared to the current mental impact!
All those complicated sounds stirred and disturbed Xiahou Dun's eardrums; all those beating lights were also like tiny pinpoints, stimulating Xiahou Dun's retinas...
The fireworks here and there were already breathtaking, and then the sound and light of Bao Zhong's rebellion near the camp entrance came out, and Xiahou Dun's face turned extremely pale.
Under normal circumstances, soldiers in the camp are not allowed to disturb their positions, make noises, or run around at night. Anyone who violates this will be punished with the crime of treason.
But now...
Some Cao Jun camps were in motion, while others were closed. Some stood on the guard tower and shouted, while others quickly extinguished their torches and lights, as if they were afraid that someone would come to the door at the next moment. They were all different.
At the same time, although Xiahou Dun couldn't see clearly who was in charge in those Cao Jun camp, he could clearly see that when it was suddenly attacked, the entire Cao Jun camp was inconsistent, the orders were unclear, and the steps were chaotic. It didn't look like one at all.
It is a whole, but a simple combination of separate camps.
"Brother Yuan Rang, after watching it for so long, what do you see clearly?"
Fei Qian asked, his tone less like urging, more like chatting.
Xiahou Dun withdrew his gaze and glanced at the neatly prepared hussars and horses around him. There was already a bit of panic in his eyes. He had commanded an army to some extent and knew the difference between a ragtag group and an elite army.
Xiahou Dun once thought that his soldiers, or those with the prefix "中" among Cao's troops, were the best in the world. His previous loss to Fei Qian was not due to the soldiers but Fei Qian's cunning. But now it seems that if Cao Cao
The Chinese prefix of the family name means elite, so the current hussars are the elite among the elite!
This is naturally obvious.
This time, those who came with Fei Qian could almost be said to be the elite of the entire Hussars!
Most of these troops are the elites that Fei Qiang has gathered in Guanzhong in the past two years. Not only Han people, but also people of all ethnic groups, and even some people from the Western Regions, including those who have been standing beside Xiahou Dun and staring at Xiahou Dun eagerly.
Julius.
Many of these people from the Western Regions are warriors who lost their country in the Western Regions in the early years. There are even some who claim to have the blood of the kingdom and the status of princes. Now they are under the command of the hussars, looking forward to regaining their status one day.
The sealing of fame and position allowed the family's name to be re-established.
Almost all of these elite cavalry have been in battle and seen blood, and some even have grudges against the people of Shandong...
For example, those soldiers who were originally from Xiliang had never had a better attitude towards these people from Shandong.
Over the years, Fei Qian has worked hard, deployed in various places, and gathered in various places. Now the elite of the cavalry army gathered together include not only soldiers, but also generals who are almost unparalleled in the world!
Most people in Shandong just think that Lu Bu is powerful, but Fei Qian and Lu Bu fell out, and after he transferred Tai Shici to the Western Region to take charge, the only threat was Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun was in the Northern Region, so he could not save those close to him because of the distance.
Fire, but who would have thought that even a previously unknown military academy in this hussar army could beat Cao Jun to death?!
Under the command of the hussar, there are not only strong war horses as the main battle force, but also many backup horses and pack horses to provide transportation of grain and materials accompanying the army. This large-scale use of war horses is so arrogant that Xiahou Dun is envious.
I know that when the Emperor of the Han Dynasty arrived in Xu County, he couldn't even get four horses of the same color. He could only reluctantly use four pied horses as the emperor's first appearance. This is still used by those gossipy guys in Shandong.
laugh at.
And now, just along the way, Xiahou Dun saw more than four horses of the same color, even more than forty-four hundred!
You must know that the Xiyuan Army that Emperor Han Ling thought was so great back then only had less than a thousand war horses, and more than 60% of them were old horses...
The horse is strong and healthy.
People are fierce.
Even the equipment is almost armed to the teeth.
This is really not an exaggeration, because Xiahou Dun discovered that even the face armor covered by the Hussars soldiers was obviously of better quality than that of Cao Jun, and basically everyone was equipped with it, unlike Cao Jun who only had Chinese prefixes and generals.
Only available from military academy and above.
As for the logistics of dry food, Xiahou Dun was even more stunned. More than once, he saw the hussar cavalry casually grabbing sugar-fried beans from the dry food bag for everyone to eat. Of course, he would also stuff a few grains into his mouth.
The top and bottom chewing together was a sight for the Hussars, and among Cao's soldiers, even the leading troops equipped with war horses did not have such a large supply of sugar!
This all means one thing...
Cost money.
Thanks to Defei Qian who is very good at spending money and is quite willing to spend money.
But this makes the effect very good.
It's not that employees can't do 996, nor can they do 007. What should be given is given in place, even if they live in the company all year round, what's wrong with truly making the company their home? A person with an annual salary of one million, 996 is willing to do so, and then called
Not to mention the annual salary, even the monthly salary is 996, which is always behind the average monthly salary of a big man. Then he is really either stupid or bad, or both stupid and bad.
For these border Han people who had always been discriminated against and abandoned by the Han Dynasty, after the original credit and economic system completely collapsed, it was Fei Qian who single-handedly re-established order, reconstructed and developed the economy, which made people in these areas
Inside, Fei Qian's personal dignity also increased the difficulty of Cao's army's advance. Therefore, the concepts in places such as Taiyuan and in Yuncheng, Hedong are completely different.
Xiahou Dun had a deep understanding of this, but he still held a fluke mentality before, thinking that if Fei Qian had only a small number of elites, they would only be in Taiyuan, or Linfen, or a few in Guanzhong, while most of the other soldiers would
If the horses are average, then Cao Cao and Cao Cao's army will naturally still have the strength to fight, and there is still the possibility of a comeback and victory.
But now, after looking at the current situation of Cao Jun's camp, and looking at the strength displayed by the Qiusi, all of these are telling the same question...
Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and those in Shandong made a wrong judgment, and they were very wrong.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel a little powerless. This feeling of powerlessness was even stronger than when he was beaten by his own guards and was arrested.
"Husband, you..." Xiahou Dun's voice was a little hoarse. He gestured to return the telescope in his hand to Fei Qian. He paused for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with Qiusu?"
Fei Qian waved his hand, "Brother Yuan Rang just keeps this thing..."
Although telescopes cannot be mass-produced on a large scale now, after all, practice makes perfect. After craftsmen have done more, they will gradually improve the quantity and quality. After all, Fei Qian's first pot of gold was from Liuli, and now it can be regarded as
He gave the craftsmen a lot of advice, so that the cost spent on telescopes like this and the glazed greenhouse was not as much as outsiders imagined.
Xiahou Dun really wanted to show what it meant to be brave, but this telescope...
Xiahou Dun got lucky and squeezed the telescope again and again. Finally, he could only mutter in a low voice and said thank you.
Fei Qian smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Rang, there is no need to be embarrassed... Tonight is a beautiful day. I specially invite Brother Yuan Rang to come here. It's just a small bet..."
Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and wanted to yell angrily, saying that he had nothing to do with gambling and drug addiction, but in the end, his words turned into, "Hussars...what do you want to gamble on?"
"Let's bet tonight..." Fei Qian took a step forward and waved his hand, as if the Cao Jun camp in front of him was like a chicken and a dog, "We can defeat Cao Jun tonight!"
Xiahou Dun's eyebrows suddenly jumped!
This Fei Qian has such a big breath!
But after a while, Xiahou Dun looked at the hussars and horses around him, and he felt less angry and more worried...
Could it be that what we expect now is that housing prices are very low, and we can find jobs at will, without any pressure at all, and then as long as the girl she likes pursues her, she will agree to it, right?
Uh, it's a cross-over.
Can we now expect that Cao's army can unite with one heart and one mind, unleash unprecedented morale and fighting power, and knock Fei Qian to the ground in one fell swoop, right?
No, it can't be true, right?
However, it will break tonight...
Xiahou Dun raised his head and looked at the sky.
It's already midnight now.
"If we can't break through tonight, what will happen to the Hussars?"
Xiahou Dun couldn't bear it anymore and fell into the pit with a squeak...
