Chapter 3462 Before and after
The wilderness, the cold wind.
Loess, dark sky.
The leaves on the small branches of the wood were almost pulled down by the cold wind, as if they were calling for the approaching winter.
All year round, autumn and winter, it is like going from life to death.
But these Cao troops tried to escape from the death.
The instinctive desire of human beings to survive caused these Cao army soldiers to burst out with seemingly endless motivation.
The defeated soldiers who ran, howled, and fled to the road scattered.
But there are still many Cao troops who cannot avoid the sickle of the god of death.
Like most cold weapon wars, real killing is often produced in large quantities after one side is defeated.
After Lu Chang ordered the retreat, the entire Cao army's front immediately collapsed.
Even if the formation collapsed, the soldiers were killed and injured near the breakthrough. However, once the entire army collapsed, death immediately affected all the soldiers of Cao's army.
Death laughed wildly, pounced down, enjoying the feast of blood and flesh.
"Discard your weapons and kneel down to avoid death! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
The Hussar cavalry shouted skillfully and killed the Cao army soldiers who tried to resist or bump into and escape.
But in the dark night, Cao's army suddenly burst into pieces, like a sand tower collapse, Huang Xu and others couldn't stop it!
However, the number of casualties in Cao's army suddenly soared in such a short period of time.
In less than a cup of tea, the Cao army brought almost the same number of casualties as before and the Cavalry Army.
"Where are the enemy generals?"
Huang Xu shouted and danced his sword.
But as the fire pounded, he didn't see Lu Chang.
『There is a flag here!』
A cavalry rushed to where Lu Chang was originally, but he did not see anyone, but only saw the flags of generals lying on the ground.
"Ahhhh! There is no courage!"
Huang Xu was extremely angry.
There were soldiers running away from Cao's army everywhere, and there was insufficient light. Huang Xu didn't know which direction Lu Chang had fled.
After all, this is not Bailang Mountain, and Fei Qian is not the Hu king with hundreds of thousands of string control soldiers. Huang Xu and the others cannot surround the earthen mountain, and it is impossible to escape.
At the same time, Lu Chang was obviously an experienced master. He did not carry anything clearly marked, and even the guards asked to escape in dispersed ways. This made it impossible for Huang Xu or the surrounding racquets to identify Lu Chang's place as quickly as possible under the interception of the darkness and fire...
After all, not everyone can carry a small radar, it depends on who has a small sign on top of his head.
Huang Xu searched angrily and rushed around the mountain for a while, but could not find Lu Chang's traces.
In desperation, Huang Xu had to go back and report his life.
Fei Qian originally did not intend to chase Lu Chang.
It was not that Fei Qian suddenly felt kind, but because Fei Qian's original plan was just to make up for the seat. After all, the logistics and artillery supplies had not arrived yet. His original plan was just to eliminate some potential dangers in the gap when Xu Chu had not yet redirected from Suoyang Pass.
Moreover, the distance between the former army camp and the Zhongtiaoshan camp of Cao's army is not very far. It is not too difficult for Cao's army to escape back from fifty or sixty miles.
It would undoubtedly cost a lot of manpower and horsepower to chase and search for escaped enemy generals in the wilderness on a large scale. Fei Qian originally thought it was unpaid. However, when he heard his subordinates' report that the result of interrogating prisoners and surrendered soldiers was not that the ordinary Cao army military academy led the team, but that after Lu Chang, the head general of Zhongtiaoshan Camp, led the team, Fei Qian quickly changed his mind and asked Huang Xu to lead the cavalry team to immediately go to the direction of Zhongtiaoshan Camp to hunt Lu Chang.
Yes, it's hunting.
The dead Lu Chang has no value except for providing merit bonuses to soldiers and military academy.
What Fei Qian needed was the specific arrangement of the Zhongtiao Mountain camp and the detailed distribution of soldiers. These things were not clearer than Lu Chang, the former garrison commander of Zhongtiao Mountain.
That's why Fei Qian specifically asked Huang Xu to continue fighting to avoid some soldiers stopping and slashing Lu Chang with one knife.
Huang Xu also knew the key to this matter, so he immediately took his men to the direction of Zhongtiaoshan Camp, tracked the traces of Lu Chang and others, and arrested them.
Fei Qian called out the garrison soldiers in the front army camp, and asked them to clean up the battlefield and take prisoners.
Although it was a victory, some doubts arose in Fei Qian's mind.
What is Cao's army here for?
Do fellow villagers open the door to deliver vegetables?
It is indeed a bit uncaution to say that Xu Chu left the front army camp.
But if Cao's army wants to come to raid the former military camp, shouldn't it be a "quick, accurate and ruthless"?
As a result, Cao's army came, but he was slow to act. The attack was not like an attack, and the seduction was not like an temptation. What exactly did this come?
Do you think the weather is good, come for an autumn outing?
Fei Qian is difficult to understand.
Fei Qian’s doubts are indeed reasonable.
However, the current situation of Cao's defeat is a reality facing Fei Qian.
So Fei Qian could only let go of this doubt for the time being...
...
...
Where in Tongguan.
War brings not only death, but also geographical changes.
For example, Tongguan Sakado, under this war, the width of at least one parking space has been broadened!
This change is surprising, but seems to be expected.
Cao's army seemed to have been ready to resist step by step very early, just like a gecko's tail was broken, one section after another.
Of course, the inability to implement terrain restrictions is also an important reason why Cao Jun's strategy can work.
Cao's army attacked Guanzhong because of the terrain restrictions, and now the cavalry troops cannot be deployed due to the terrain restrictions.
These battlefield limitations of nature work on both sides at the same time.
When Zhang Liao defeated the camp in front of Niutouyuan, Tongguan, he led only more than 2,000 troops and less than 3,000 people.
There are not many people, but on such a road, they are already in a saturation state.
It also tests the general's control ability of the battlefield troops. Otherwise, if you are not careful, your troops will block your route and bear the losses that you should not have.
Therefore, Zhang Liao fought very steadily.
Occasionally, there are Cao's teams who want to fight and block, and some teams want to bypass Niutouyuan. They go around the back and attack Zhang Liao's logistics, similar to the work Zhu Ling did before, but these people are not Zhu Ling's opponents at all, and they are found before they can even get through the earthen plateau. They are killed and injured under the strong crossbow and bow.
Promoting step by step, the coordinated combat mode of multiple arms, Zhang Liao's tactical attack, on such a road, was really like a bulldozer. Seeing Zhang Liao coming, Cao's army found a way to deal with it, but it just couldn't stop it!
The speed of advancement is not fast, but the victory is stable enough.
On the flank of Zhang Liao, there are boats patrolling back and forth on the water, while the position on the plateau is controlled by Zhu Ling.
This allows Zhang Liao to concentrate on dealing with the frontal Cao army.
However, Cao's army at Tongguan was helpless in the face of the advancement of Zhang Liao and others.
Fighting head-on, it’s impossible!
There are brave generals, elite soldiers, and high-tech...
Cao's army retreated all the way.
Zhang Liao continued to clean up the remaining troops, and then sent the prisoners and surrendered soldiers to the back line, both slow and relaxed.
This made Cao Zhang and others extremely painful. Perhaps they would rather face a vicious opponent and either defeat them or fall into their trap in one breath than accept a slow knife like Zhang Liao. Especially, they knew where Zhang Liao was going to fight and when they wanted to fight, but they just couldn't stand it!
It's like a later generation doing surgery in a hospital. The anesthetics were not completely penetrated. In a daze, you could feel the doctor cutting his skin open, then crunching through the bones, unable to struggle or get rid of it!
Cao's army retreated step by step, and Zhang Liao pressed forward step by step.
When the war in Tongguan reached Chang'an, Guanzhong, even the most pessimistic person who had been singular in the past could not help but stand up and say, "Cao's army is now a major trend! Shandong is not worth mentioning!"
"You still want to say this?!"
"That's not what you said before!"
It caused others to laugh and asked if the man said what he said before, and why he didn't continue to say bad things now?
Those people would express their feelings and say with a firm word that if they hadn't kept ringing the alarm for the General of the Cavalry and asked the General of the Cavalry to treat him carefully, how could they have achieved today's results? The expression was proud, just like the achievements of the soldiers on the front line fighting, which was no match for their few words.
Everyone laughed, all of them were watching the show.
However, within Guanzhong, an extremely optimistic atmosphere began to arise.
"Cao Army... is over!"
『So Shandong...hehehehe!』
To be continued...
