Chapter 3433: The inside and outside of the expectation

『Woooooooooooooo...』

『Beep,beep!』

With the sound of the horns and copper whistles, the cavalry and horses began to move.

Is there a process?

Of course it's good, but it doesn't mean that the process can represent everything and control everything.

Everything needs to be based on reality, and it is inevitable that you can fall into the category of dogmatism.

And what is very interesting is that most people in Shandong know that the so-called process is actually used to block their own people.

Once you meet an outsider, all so-called processes will automatically fail.

Although ordinary people in Shandong are controlled by the rules and procedures, once they encounter people outside who do not abide by the rules and procedures, they have no way to deal with them. They even block their own family members who abide by the rules and procedures to humbly let outsiders who do not abide by the rules and procedures...

The reason is a country of etiquette and a country of humility.

In fact, if you can't control those who do not abide by the rules and procedures, can't you just keep following the rules?

Follow the process, there is no time to eat.

Therefore, these Cao army soldiers had to work hard with empty stomachs.

But under the urging of the officers, they took action and pointed the swords and guns in their hands at the cavalry and horses, preparing to fight.

Cao Hong's original wound was somewhat recovered, but this battle caused the wound to burst again, and blood flowed down his legs and feet.

The guard could only put herbs on Cao Hong again and then tightly tied it with a strap.

『Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang!』

Cao Hong popped up a few words from his teeth.

Although Cao Hong hated Xu Chu very much, and when he saw his enemy right in front of him, he also had an expectation of revenge, but when he saw the chaos of his own soldiers on the front, his heart continued to sink. The soldiers he brought were already very good, and they belonged to the elite ranks of Cao's army. At least when facing the Hussars, he did not think about turning in immediately, but when comparing with each other, there was still a big gap.

This is a problem in Shandong as a whole, and it is not something Cao Hong can change it alone.

Yes, every Shandong person says this, so since Liu Xiu built his capital in Shandong, the Han Dynasty has not changed much, but has gone back to the old path.

Regardless of whether Xinmang was a time traveler or not, during the Xinmang period, some perhaps impetuous and inappropriate reforms were made based on the ills of some social and nationalities at that time. From this point of view, Wang Mang was indeed too impatient. If his methods were gentler or slower, the results might be different.

However, the big man did not have any if.

Just like Cao Hong at the moment, there is no if.

He ventured into the battle with unhealed pain, not for the purpose of if, but for the final victory.

For the victory that Cao Hong hoped for!

From a certain perspective, this is Cao Hong's psychological cost. He paid too much for the success of Cao's family, so he did not allow it and was unwilling to accept Cao's family's failure. Even if Cao Cao told him that this failure was not a big deal, Cao Hong still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Therefore, when Suoyang Pass failed to recover Zhang Tiansheng, Cao Hong and Cao Cao suggested that a wave of "siege and attack aid"...

It’s good to be able to succeed naturally, but it’s not a big problem if you fail.

However, Cao Hong still believes that he can succeed!

In the face of failure, the pain in the heart far exceeds the pain in the body!

The more Cao Hong thought about it, the more angry he became. He suddenly threw the cap in his hand on the ground and shouted loudly: "A real man! If you die, die! How can you beg for a meal? I'm so convenient for this today! Fight with you all! Let these Guanzhong thieves know that my great man has my heroic warrior and heroic spirit!"

How can a real man be sober about a meal?

In addition to meals, there must be poetry and distant places!

Isn't it?

The surrounding Cao soldiers looked at each other, so they could only follow Cao Hong with weapons.

The Cao Hong guard bent down on the ground and picked up the trousers, wiped the dust randomly, then accelerated his pace and took a few steps to follow Cao Hong.

...

...

Cavalry against infantry array.

It's not an easy thing to do before there are thermal weapons.

The cavalry has an advantage over the upper infantry, but it may not have an overwhelming advantage over the upper infantry array, especially after the Cao army made corresponding fortifications arranged.

Life and death are undoubtedly the most powerful driving force for the evolution of war.

The losses Cao's army suffered quickly improved its corresponding defense.

The speed of this change is far beyond the process timeliness of general affairs in Shandong.

At first, the Cao army thought that the Hussar cavalry were similar to the early Hu people's lancers. At most, they were hand-to-hand combat lances with reinforced armor. As long as they were not destroyed, they could fight in real confrontation. After all, when the Han Dynasty first fought against the Huns, did they fight along the way?

However, when Fei Qian first arrived in Xu County, Cao Jun discovered that it was wrong to simply use the "enhanced version of Hussar Cavalry" to describe the Hussar Cavalry. The defensive method of locking the fortress, tightly pulling the suspension bridge, and curling up the city dissipated with the smoke of gunpowder.

So Cao's army quickly developed a method to use mud and sand stones to block the city gate. The main purpose was to strengthen the defense of the turtle shell. However, Shandong discovered that the Cavalry Army had evolved again, and there were lethal weapons such as catapults, oil bombs, etc. The simple turtle shell could not resist the double damage of physics and magic...

All these.

Every time Guanzhong makes progress, Shandong must keep up, whether it is actively trying to improve or passively responding, otherwise it will be beaten up badly.

The archer tactics displayed last time also caused Cao's army to suffer a great loss. So, before Cao's position, even in the time when the light was not very good at dawn, Xu Chu could see some large and small black dots on the ground, like pockmarks.

That's a trap.

Specializes in the horse's legs.

Don’t archers need to shoot fast at close range, and now all the "close range" have been dug into such a trap.

It’s not impossible for Xu Chu to really make people rush up, but he definitely can’t run like he did before.

Once the cavalry cannot run at a speed, the damage will definitely be even greater.

This is obviously not what Xu Chu wants, but if we use the old traditional cavalry tactics...

Turning forward, flanking feint attacks, pulling arrays, scattering enemy troops, etc. These are common methods for cavalry to deal with infantry arrays with spears, scattered trenches and strong shields.

However, Xu Chu was also unwilling to use these tactical methods because the speed would be slower.

Slow means giving the opponent more preparation and reaction time, which also means a decrease in the survival chance of other Hussar soldiers in the Suoyang Pass.

The slowness before the war is because we need to prepare, adjust the formation, and restore and reserve physical strength and horsepower. However, once the battle begins, we cannot be slow. We must be like thunder, quickly and effectively defeat the enemy formation. Only in this way can the power of the cavalry army be displayed to the greatest extent and make the Cao army lose the confidence and courage to resist.

Xu Chu recruited Li Li, "How to defeat Cao's army's infantry formation?"

"The previous method was obviously not easy to use, and I was thinking about how to fight..." Li Li squinted and looked, "What does the general mean?"

Xu Chu nodded and looked at the Cao army array in the distance. "The Cao army defended here to lure you and me to attack the formation."

Li Li turned around and looked at the direction of Zhongtiaoshan camp, "Haha, that's interesting. We used Suoyang Pass to catch Cao's army, and Cao's army also used this idea to catch us! It's really...haha!"

Xu Chu also smiled, then pointed at Cao's infantry array with his fingers, "Try it first. Although it seems that the array is strict now, we still have to try it out!"

Li Li asked: "Or use a bow or arrow?"

"No." Xu Chu waved his hand and pointed to some of the Hu cavalry among the troops, "Let them use a spurt."

"Take a rope?" Li Li thought for a moment, then understood, "Take a grenade with the rope?"

Xu Chu nodded, "If the formation is in chaos, it will break into the ground. However, you still need to be careful. Since there are traps in front of the formation, most of them are also in the formation."

Li Li bowed his order and then went down to prepare.

The horn and copper whistle were blown again, and this time it seemed more rapid and powerful, as if it was indicating something...

...

There is no obvious boundary between offense and defense.

Cao Hong attacked Suoyang Pass, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a guard.

As soon as the battle started, Cao's army discovered that some new changes had occurred in the Hussar Cavalry.

Although Cao Hong did not completely take down Suoyang Pass at this moment, he was always suppressed in the Xiaoshi Fort. The narrow doorway staircase at the entrance of the stone fort meant that it was difficult for Cao's army to attack, and it was also difficult for him to rush out after waiting for him, so it was probably equivalent to no worries.

But even if Cao's army focused all their attention on facing the Hussar Cavalry, it would be difficult to resist the flexible and changeable tactical system of the Hussar Cavalry, and they were even a little tired of dealing with it!

With a hint of dawn light rising from the horizon, Li Li rushed to the front of Cao's position with eight hundred cavalry.

『Stay! Stay!"

The military academy in the Cao army line shouted.

The Cao army archers had to wait for the opponent to enter within fifty steps before they had greater direct killing ability. Although ordinary shots could reach one hundred steps away, for cavalry covered with armor and wearing horse clothes, the lethality was actually very average.

Conversely, the same is true for cavalry. The sprint looks handsome, but it also doesn't have much lethality to the unit with armor.

More importantly, neither side is relying on the base camp to fight, and the number of arrows carried is limited.

The Cao army had more, while the Cavalry Army had only two bags of arrows and sixty pieces.

If you shoot at once, even if your hand speed is slow, you can shoot more than a dozen arrows in one minute, and then you can shoot all the arrows you carry in a few minutes.

Then it was like Zhang Tiansheng...
