Perhaps this sentence will become Cao Jun's most common buzzword this year.
Just like "Wolf is coming", at the beginning, it may cause large-scale panic, but later it becomes "Come on, come on, what are you calling?"
The emergence of Li Li and Sima Yi greatly accelerated the evolution of this process.
Cao Cao knew that Cao Jun's soldiers would be tired like this, but he couldn't find a good way to solve this problem for a while.
Because he cannot take the initiative to attack and can only wait passively...
He repeatedly emphasized that this was a plan to weaken the army, but the vast majority of military academy non-commissioned officers were like, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh", but in fact they really didn't take it seriously.
The strategy of exhausting the army is a conspiracy on the surface.
Although Lao Cao still has less than a thousand cavalry on hand and the cavalry generals to lead them, he cannot let them go out so casually. The reason is very simple, because there is no chance of winning in a field battle with cavalry.
.Morale is low, and there are problems with the leadership. Qianzhao is a good cavalry commander, but he is not a peerless general. He alone cannot play a mainstay role and cannot change the situation of the battle with one person.
what to do?
It's very difficult to do.
These mighty hussars are difficult to fight and capture, but if left unchecked, Cao's soldiers will become increasingly exhausted.
When the sun rose in the early morning, the hussars blew their horns before arriving at the camp.
When we were having breakfast in the morning, the hussars came again, bringing warm greetings and firing two or three large yellow crossbow grenades. No matter what they exploded, it was considered as adding some fuel to Cao's army.
At noon, when the sun was high in the sky, the Hussars came again. This time they would conduct tentative damage to some fortifications or checkpoints outside the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp.
It's really just a trial, because as soon as Cao's army moves, they will roar far away. Even if Cao's army uses crossbows and catapults, they basically can't hit. Occasionally, a few hussars are hit.
, as long as it is not directly hit head-on, there is a high probability that you will not die, but the severity of the injury will vary.
By the afternoon, the Hussars had even more tricks up their sleeves...
They would form a group to scold outside the camp, starting from Cao Cao to Xiahou Dun, and then Cao Hong, and scolding each other in different ways. When the soldiers with loud voices became hoarse, some soldiers would start singing Shandong tunes.
I touched Cao Zilian's chest and something...
Cao Hong was so angry that he trembled.
Not only that, they would also set up a table in a place where Cao Jun could not hit but could see it from a distance, and then started to light a barbecue and drink some wine!
By the time night falls, logically speaking, things should have stopped. However, every hour or hour and a half, hussars would light grenades with irregularity, and when the explosions exploded, they would also shout to charge.
Even though the soldiers of Cao's army knew that the hussars were bluffing again, they still had to get up and defend.
As a result, Cao's soldiers, especially those at the forefront of the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, were all listless...
Cao Cao had been watching. At dusk that day, he suddenly called Cao Hong and Qianzhao.
"Tonight, there is an 80% chance that the bandit army will come to test and attack!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes, his small eyes shining brightly.
"Ah?" Cao Hong asked in confusion, "Why is my lord so sure?"
In the past two or three days, Li Li and Sima Yi took turns going into battle, leading small groups of troops to cause trouble, and large groups of troops holding down the formation at the back. Cao Cao's army was either fighting or not fighting. It was extremely uncomfortable. Now I heard Cao Cao say that the Hussars will be killed tonight.
It was possible to attack, and Cao Hong couldn't help but feel refreshed!
"In the past two days, the hussars seem to be in disarray, but are they actually..." Cao Cao sneered, "Now the soldiers outside the camp are all exhausted, huh... so the hussars are probably going to attack tonight!"
…
…
Did the Hussars have any unsuccessful night attacks?
It seems there is, and it seems there isn't.
Sima Yi rubbed his chin. He has gradually grown some beard, but not much, just like his combat experience. But even so, Sima Yi still felt the abnormality almost instinctively, and he attached great importance to this kind of beard.
Feeling of self.
It may be a bit mysterious to say that instinct is actually a product of the dual superposition of experience and wisdom.
"You just don't feel right?"
Li Li frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
The plan was proposed by Sima Yi, and it was executed by Sima Yi and him together. Now it's time to apply the brakes at the last moment?
My pants are all...
Oh, there were no pants in the Han Dynasty, so that would be fine.
Okay, Sima Yi, you don’t wear pants, what’s wrong with you?
Sima Yi was also thinking about it and said slowly: "Old traitor Cao has also been on the battlefield for many years, how could he not know my strategy of tiring the army?"
Li Li thought for a while and nodded.
Even though Li Li was dissatisfied, he had a better advantage, that is, he could listen to what was said.
Seeing that Li Li did not interrupt or show any impatience, Sima Yi continued, "So we should think more about it. This old thief knew that our troops were exhausted, but he did not replace the Cao soldiers outside the camp."
The purpose is to let us see that these soldiers are exhausted..."
In later generations, there is the so-called three-rhythm theory. Although it is not sure to be true, it also illustrates some problems. That is, in the process of human evolution, there is always adaptability for survival.
A person goes from full of energy and endurance to exhaustion and low endurance. There is a certain degree of fluctuation, but it cannot be quantified or simply digitized. After all, people have different outlooks and personalities, which leads to some people
When their energy and endurance are low, they enter a state of hysteria, but some people will still spend it calmly until their physical strength is restored.
The same is true for the soldiers of Cao's army. Some of them will be disturbed by Sima Yi and Li Li to the point of collapse, but it cannot be denied that some will still think calmly and adapt as much as possible.
Therefore, if we talk about the general soldiers and generals of Cao Cao's army, they may be disturbed by the tired tactics of Sima Yi and Li Li, and their energy and endurance will decrease, and they will enter an irrational state. But the same is true for Cao Cao...
That would be a bit underestimating the people of the world.
Sima Yi looked at Li Li and secretly observed Li Li's expression.
Sima Yi's Sima surname is actually the same as Fei Qian's Fei surname. They are both surnames with a relatively small number of people and a less prosperous family. Therefore, Sima Yi is also subconsciously expanding his network, but it is not that he is unscrupulous.
This kind of network building is not done in a day or two, nor once or twice, but during the whole process, Sima Yi will deliberately set some "hidden thresholds" to distinguish and screen people.
This is how Sima Yi treated Li Li.
If Li Li yelled and vented his dissatisfaction, then Sima Yi would most likely do what Li Li did first and then say nothing more, because Li Li did have the authority to command more than half of the troops and horses, and he could choose not to
Listen to Sima Yi. But if Li Li is as willing to listen as he is now, Sima Yi will tell the truth.
"So, now..." Li Li asked, "You mean...we need to make some adjustments?"
Sima Yi nodded, "That's true. It might as well be like this..."
…
…
It's night.
The moon is not dark, but the wind is high.
The cold wind of autumn night from the north whistled up and down the plateau. Even though the plateau whined in protest in the cold wind, the cold wind of autumn night still mercilessly snatched away the bare trees.
Everything on the land is in such a state that scraping the ground three feet away will not allow even a tiny bit of oil or water to remain on the land.
The less it is, the more it is squeezed and plundered.
No matter how loud the whimpering sound was, the helpless Tuyuan did not wait for help, but ushered in a new round of trampling.
The hooves of the hussars rushed down from the plateau, like wind and thunder, with an overwhelming momentum, rushing towards the flaw in Cao Jun's camp that had been observed long ago.
Sure enough, the flaw is the flaw right there.
The hussars roared and without much effort, they broke through the defenses outside Cao Jun's camp and began to rush towards Cao Jun's second line of defense. Cao Jun's Zhongtiao Mountain camp had three lines of defense along the mountains. The outermost line was
Nature is the largest and most fragile.
The soldiers of Cao's army in this line of defense saw the hussars rushing towards them with great momentum. They did not need the general of Cao's army to order them to move in. They had already "switched" their combat positions on their own initiative...
As soon as the two sides came into contact, Cao Jun's soldiers in a defensive line near the breakthrough ran away without saying a word. Think about it, let these Cao Jun soldiers whose energy and endurance have almost hit the bottom to fight against the powerful hussars.
Obviously unrealistic.
As the Hussars attacked, the war drums in Cao's camp beat rapidly and intensively.
"Boom! Boom!"
A huge explosion broke out on the battlefield, mixed with the sound of Cao Jun's war drums.
This is the Hussars blasting the second defensive line of Cao's army.
Suddenly, the sound of war drums, horns, shouts of soldiers, and galloping horses soared into the sky.
"Whoosh..."
Thousands of arrows roared into the sky, shooting at the hussars.
"Watch out for arrows!"
Li Li shouted loudly, raised his shield to defend his vital points, and also covered his head and face with his horse.
The rain of arrows whizzed down, and Li Li was shocked.
He knew Sima Yi was right!
This Cao Jun has been prepared for a long time!
This is not difficult to judge, as long as you have a cooler head.
In actual combat, it is impossible for archers' arrows to have an automatic tracking function. As long as they are shot, they are sure to hit, especially in the dark night. If Cao Jun were archers summoned temporarily, the arrows shot would be much sparser, or even
It is possible that the shots were missed in the first few rounds, and then the hit rate will increase after the ruler is modified.
But now, Cao Jun almost hit the first round of arrow rain, with a large number of hits!
Although the lethality of arrows from such long-distance projectiles is often caused by the damage caused by the falling metal of the arrows, it does not mean that armor will be completely immune!
As the arrow fell, a muffled sound came from the surrounding area, mixed with the neighing of injured horses.
"Retreat! Disperse and retreat!"
Li Li immediately gave the order without any hesitation.
If there is one more point of greed at this time, it means there will be three points more casualties!
Cao Jun did not deploy on the first line of defense, but placed his combat power on the second line of defense.
Li Li's command was conveyed quickly, but there were still some hussars. I don't know whether it was because they were unwilling to give in, or because they were far away and the sound was noisy. They failed to hear the retreating whistle clearly, and were quickly beaten one after another.
Covered by arrow rain...
In just a short time of burning incense, Cao Jun shot at least 20,000 to 30,000 arrows!
And in order to prevent the archers from losing their targets, some rockets are deliberately mixed with ordinary arrows as markers.
This is also an important method for fighting at night and when the line of sight is blocked.
Well, Mr. Luo turned Sun Shiwan's forced move into Brother Zhu's straw boat to borrow arrows. He must not have thought about the rocket thing...
Li Li's order was indeed timely. They had just completed the turn when they were immediately blocked by Cao's soldiers.
When the two armies met, they immediately started a bloody fight.
Cao Hong had injuries to his legs and feet, and Cao Hong was an important figure after all, and no one could take his place in Cao's camp. Therefore, Cao Hong naturally took command, while Qianzhao was the one fighting and intercepting on the front line.
Li Li led his men to rush back and forth, trying to kill the blocking enemy soldiers and break through the constant entanglement and siege of Cao's army. The group of cavalry he led seemed to have crashed into a spider web, but a spider web is a spider web after all, not
Fishing nets, let alone hunting nets, do not have enough density and strength. It is simply impossible to completely stop Li Li and others!
Moreover, most of Cao's troops were infantry. Even if they were close at hand, it would be difficult to control Li Li's cavalry.
In TV series and movies, passing by can add beauty, but here, passing by can only make Cao's soldiers sad.
Qianzhao saw the soldiers of Cao's army falling in batches under the collision of the hussars, either killed or injured. The blood and screams spread together. He couldn't help but shout with all his strength: "Brothers"
You guys, let me kill you!"
Qianzhao focused on Li Li.
I don't know why, when Qianzhao stared at Li Li, it was like seeing another version of himself...
No, no no.
The starting point of Qianzhao was far higher than that of Li Li.
Perhaps the two people have the same thing, that is, they have the same cavalry generals and the same experience in foreign battles.
Qianzhao didn't like pointing his sword at Han people like him, but he had to do things he didn't like again and again.
It's like going to work in the future.
Unhappiness is just a means of making a living.
Qianzhao led a squad of 100 men and roared straight towards Li Li, stepping on the blood-stained soil and the broken limbs on the battlefield, shouting forward, "Kill the horse! Kill the horse first..."
Qianzhao shouted wildly and waved his spear, knocking a hussar off his horse.
There is no way to make Li Li and others stop, but they will never be able to surround and kill Li Li!
Cao's soldiers, led by Qian Zhao, fought hard to kill Li Li.
Li Li also roared and slashed to death a Cao soldier who tried to sneak attack his horse, but he failed to notice the short ax thrown from the other direction...
The hatchet's accuracy was average, and it failed to hit the belly of Li Li's war horse, but it also made a deep wound on the horse's leg.
The war horse stung, its legs and feet twisted, and it stumbled and fell to the ground.
Li Li was caught off guard and fell from his horse.
"Kill him! Kill him..."
When the soldiers of Cao's army saw Li Li fell from his horse, they shouted excitedly.
The hussar soldiers following Li Li immediately roared forward to block Cao Jun's attack line. Some fired with their bows, some slashed with swords, some jumped up on their horses to prepare for a direct collision, and some threw with all their strength.
To carry a short sword...
Li Li fell from his horse, causing the entire queue to come to a standstill.
In this small space, it was like honey falling into a pile of ants.
Cao Hong was watching the battle from the high platform. When he saw this scene, he was overjoyed. He pushed away the drummer who was beating the war drum and said, "Get out! It's so soft, just like a girl! I'll beat the drum in person to cheer for the general!"
Kill, kill, kill!』
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Cao Hong beat the drum himself, and the other drummers couldn't wait to use all their strength to beat the drums so loudly!
Layers upon layers of Cao Jun soldiers were attracted by the "honey"...
Just when Li Li and others were trapped in the middle, and gradually became unable to hold on any longer, suddenly there was another loud noise outside Cao Ying!
Sima Yi and his men rushed in from the other direction and violently dealt a violent blow to the buttocks of the Cao soldiers who besieged Li Li.
At this time, Cao Jun's archers, who were originally fierce in firepower, were unable to intercept or make any fixed-point coverage shots, because Cao Jun's soldiers not only blocked the shooting range, but also mixed with the hussars and horses...
Unexpectedly, the Hussars had a second attack on Cao's soldiers. They were originally focused on strangling Li Li, but were caught off guard by Sima Yi. The besieged Li Li and others also immediately found the direction and opportunity to break out.
Follow the road opened by Sima Yi and evacuate outwards.
Some soldiers of Cao's army still wanted to fight to the death, but they did not expect that Sima Yi's men were not only good at bows and arrows, but also carried some grenades, and they were suddenly shot until they screamed or were blown to pieces.
The blood is flowing, and I dare not pursue it any more.
Qianzhao originally wanted to strangle Li Li, but when he saw Sima Yi rushing in, and there were dots of torches outside Cao Jun's camp lit up at the same time, it was unclear how many hussars and horses appeared, so
They did not pursue Cao Jun beyond the camp.
This was originally a situation of two defeats or two wins, no matter how you understand it, it can be said. The Hussars broke through a defensive line and tested out some of Cao's army's layout and strength, and Cao's army defeated the Hussars.
The cavalry's night attack also successfully killed some of the hussars.
Even though Cao's army will suffer more damage than the hussars, it doesn't matter.
But what Qianzhao didn't expect was that after he finished arranging the affairs and retired, what greeted him was not a warm greeting of hard work, but an angry accusation!
"Lean Zi Jing! Why did you escape the thief general?!"
This kind of question will indeed make people angry when heard casually, but others also have other reasons. Since you can kill the enemy general, why can't you kill the enemy general? It's like if you can do it until you are sixty, why can't you do it again?
