As Fei Qian issued the general order for the attack, the sound of war drum horns and horse hooves mixed together, rolling across the yellow earth like thunder. The cavalry on both wings spread left and right, and the heavy armored infantry in the middle with black helmets and black armor slowly pressed up like dark clouds under the guidance of the battle flag.
The outer defense circle of Cao's army camp became increasingly turbulent, but the flag on the inner circle mountain did not change much, and it seemed that there was no response to the front pressure of the Cavalry Army. The flag representing the generals of the Central Army still had no change, and only the war drums that were tight and slow were still warning the soldiers of Cao's army to stay at their posts and not to be disturbed, as if they were echoing something and waiting for something.
Although Fei Qian's eyes were fixed on the mountain, he was also paying attention to the attack situation in other aspects, especially the number of wounded soldiers retreating from the front line. Fei Qian calculated that the number of wounded soldiers was not very large, and it was obvious that his own soldiers had the upper hand, so he felt a little relieved.
After a while, Fei Qian suddenly heard the shouts of soldiers on the right wing and suddenly turned around and stared at him. He saw three or four hundred Cao army soldiers dragging flags and weapons from behind a mountain, like burning their butts. However, for some reason, the leading Cao army military academy seemed a little panicked and embarrassed, and he was panicked and crashed into the Cavalry Army. As a result, the Cavalry Army was shot by the Cavalry Army and was overturned by the Cavalry Army. The Cao army immediately turned around in a hurry and fled.
What is this for?
Fei Qian was a little confused.
Are these guys confused by killing?
This group of enemies was probably scared by the killing of the past, or was frightened by the front pressure of the cavalry in front of him. A large group of people seemed to be wandering around the camp aimlessly, but neither fled nor fought. They were stunned for a long time until they found that the cavalry had been in front of them, and then they shouted, rushed to the ravine, and fled into the mountain...
The heavy armored camp, which had been raising strength in the rear, has now formed a formation. More than a thousand armored soldiers, wrapped in layers of exquisite iron armor, were intersecting each other's arms, six feet apart from each other, and arranged three rectangular arrays to advance towards the Zhongtiaoshan camp.
The route of the heavy infantry front has been cleared, and the cavalry whistled on the flanks.
Amid the sound of the tom drums, the heavy armored array began to move forward slowly and firmly.
For a moment, it seemed that the earth was trembling with the footsteps of the heavy armored infantry.
The heavy armored infantry with neat and steady lineup also made the Cao army in the inner layer of Daying Mountain in Zhongtiao Mountain feel uneasy. You can see a messenger holding a torch and running back and forth with a flag on his back. Some Cao army academies are stumbled, as if they are shouting and desperately restraining their soldiers.
Fei turned his head and asked Huang Xu, "How is the progress of the two wings?"
Huang Xu replied: "Sima's side broke through the periphery... General Xu was blocked by the fire and was turning to find a breakthrough..."
Fei Qian nodded, thought for a while and said, "It's time for Cao's army to use a trap now... I'll send an order, be careful of Cao's army ambushing! I'll send an order! All units are cautious and not to pursue them recklessly!"
Surrounding, ambushing, and raiding are common methods used on the battlefield to create chaos and then cooperate with each other in order to achieve a defeat in one fell swoop. These methods can be said to be Cheng Yaojin's three axes. Everyone knows, but it is not so easy to use them well, or to avoid them.
Fei Qian joked about Cao's poor plan, which did not mean that he would underestimate the enemy because of this; on the contrary, he not only attached great importance to it, but also spent a lot of time specifically studying the tactical characteristics that Cao Cao was used to, and repeatedly thought about how to take the initiative on the battlefield.
At the same time, Fei Qian's thinking is not only limited to the tactics itself, but also includes the strategic layout, tactical structure, military composition, military status, weapons and equipment, training level, logistics support, etc., and involves the traditional habits of Guanzhong and Shandong, thinking patterns, and the relationship between people's livelihood and government affairs, subsequent political forms, organizational systems, resource conditions, and economic capabilities...
Because these are no longer just a simple military issue, but have become a huge and complex system project, after discussing with Pang Tong, Fei Qian felt that it was obviously unlikely that just one or two people, or a few people, would want to grasp all the details.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Fei Qian and Pang Tong decided to open such branch research in Qinglong Temple after the war, splitting the large projects into more detailed small projects, and then allowing those who have outstanding insights in this process to directly participate in the process of integration and changing Shandong, so that better benefits can be obtained in many aspects and will also increase the transformation of Fei Qian into the Shandong region.
For example, if a person can indicate that he can handle a certain problem well and excel in the doubts and deductions of the people, then this person will be appointed as the official to deal with the problem...
As for the effect, check it according to the standards promised before taking office.
Fei Qian even felt that this model was somewhat similar to the "democratic" elections in later generations.
Of course, the specific effect is still needed.
However, this is also a way to make a lot of arrangements and select civil and military officials after the war.
For most soldiers and generals, the merit rewards they receive will tend to be more material, and there will be no fewer honorable titles, but the rewards that can be used to directly serve a certain real power will be less. Then, some heroes will be selected from the army and let them participate in the discussion and practice of one or several branches respectively.
Of course, it was impossible for the Cao army soldiers in Zhongtiao Mountain to know that the Guanzhong political group led by Fei Qian was studying them in detail with an unprecedented rigorous attitude.
The gentry and powerful people in the Central Plains of Shandong could not know that some of the researched results were being applied in Guanzhong. At the same time, the soldiers and generals under the cavalry would also adjust their ideas and methods in the battle based on these results.
The people from Cao's army and Shandong thought that they were still facing the past cavalry army, which was unchanged, and they were still the troops, tactics, and methods of the past...
So when facing the pressure from the Cavalry Army, the first thing Cao Jun thought of was the method they used to use before.
When Fei Qian mobilized his troops, Cao's army also began to move.
The Cao army teams divided into hundreds began to appear among the mountain roads and mountains. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of the Cavalry Army, shaking flags, shouting, and raising bows and arrows. However, when the Cavalry Army moved, the Cao army quickly retreated.
The crossbows and catapults arranged in the middle circle also began to roar towards the Cavalry Army. However, due to the poor light, the hit rate is not high and has a certain killing effect, but it is not obvious. In addition, whether it is a crossbow or a catapult, it takes a certain amount of time to load. After the loading is completed, the soldiers of the Cavalry Army who were originally aiming may disappear in the shadow again...
The Hussar Cavalry did not directly attack the areas with severe defense in the inner circle, but began to turn around at about one or two hundred steps away, avoiding the dense arrow-range firepower of the Cao army's central circle.
The soldiers of the Cao army had to shoot. After all, no one knew whether the Hussar cavalry would take advantage of a certain gap to rush up the earth slope, and then jumped into the camps in the middle circle to chop and kill.
So you can see the Hussar cavalry roaring and passing by, and behind the Hussar was the long-range rain of arrows from Cao's army!
After the Hussar cavalry turned around, they retreated to the periphery or the open space on the periphery, then reorganized and returned to fight back. If there was a gap, they rushed in. If there was no flaw, they would rush around the middle circle and attacked the arrows.
Some Hussar cavalry accidentally rushed to the range of the Cao army's catapult lathe crossbow in the middle circle. After suffering losses, they would make signs. The Hussar cavalry coming from behind saw the guide sign from afar and began to turn early, carefully refusing to step into the range of the crossbow.
Under such invasion, the long-range firepower of the camp in the central circle of Cao's army was not just shooting, nor was it not shooting.
For more than an hour, the Cavalry Army was suppressing and eroding the territory of Cao's army. The left and right wings were dispatched in turn, sometimes a hundred people were sometimes nearly a thousand. Hula rushed over and rushed back and then another arrow was rushing. Or it would be divided into two heavy infantry from the central army, cooperate with the cavalry and slowly pressed up, destroying the fortifications in the Cao's camp, and using rockets to injure each other. After Cao's crossbow and catapult cart turned, they retreated from their range.
Cao's army became more and more anxious, and Cao's army, who were trying to seduce Sima Yi, also encountered problems...
...
...
When a structure, an organization, and a country begin to collapse, the most stressed one is not in the upper class. Even in the process of corruption, decay and decay, even among the people in the upper class, they may not feel nervous, and they may also feel that it is better to shake and sleep more soundly.
The same is true for Cao's army's Zhongtiaoshan Camp.
When the order of Cao's army began to collapse, even if the upper class noticed it, they did not care much. They did not even take any measures to deal with these shaking...
At the bottom of the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, there are not only ordinary soldiers, but also a large number of civilians and craftsmen.
In Shandong, there has always been a serious chain of contempt for these civilians and craftsmen who use their strength to eat. Only those who are wearing long gowns, sitting in official halls, holding pens and inks can be called high-quality errands and are admired and envied by everyone. Those who need to eat labor who have sex with sweat under the scorching sun are despised by everyone.
In Shandong, reading, reading scriptures, and mixing with those wearing long gowns to become part of them. This is what most people expect and will teach their children in this way. "If you don't study hard, you will be like these mud legs in the future!"
Little did they know that in the feudal dynasty, under the class system, even if they read many books, they were not as important as a foolish son of the ruling class. Even if they upgraded from mud legs to dog legs, they might not be able to build their own dog kennel. After all, as early as more than ten years ago, or even hundreds of years ago, someone had already laid the dog's territory, spit dog urine, and prevented foreign dogs from entering it.
On the waterside, make nests on the embankment, and in the money field, make nests in the money warehouse, and so on. Then the baby born can be a big step ahead of the outside world. After all, is it a near-water building...
Therefore, for craftsmen like Chai Yu, whether the rice is good or bad or not is no longer a problem. As long as you have a stuttering, you can still survive. Perhaps for Chai Yu and others, you can mix tears and bitter water into the spoiled food and swallow it together. After all, for the rulers of the feudal dynasty, it is already the greatest grace to give the lower class a bite of rice. The lower class people should feel glad and happy that they can still eat rotten rice instead of eating tree bark and swallowing the soil.
But now, there is no food left!
"When is it now, I still want to eat!" Cao Jun Military Academy looked cold and scolded loudly, and even moved the handle of the knife forward a little, as if he would pull out the sword in the next moment. "Check the order, now we must be united in order to fight the enemy together! Then we immediately go to the desolate mountain concave, arrange the line of fire, call the order, and ignite it together!"
『Everyone! Get moving!』
"Those who resist the order will be killed without mercy!"
『Hurry up! Move quickly! Tell me what about you! Move!』
Amid the shouts, Cao's soldiers rushed up, pushed and kicked Chai Yu and others.
Chai Yu felt something was wrong.
He knew about the deserted mountain.
In the craggy area of the barren mountain, there are gunpowder buried on both stone walls...
Logically speaking, even if they are asked to ignite gunpowder, so many people don’t need to go together.
After all, it's just a fire.
But now it seems that they are going to drive them all to the depressed mountains!
Chai Yu couldn't help but take a few steps forward and asked: "Just ignite, why do you need so many people? A few people... or even the matter of ignition, what's the difficulty? Just one ignite, you can...
Before Chai Yu finished speaking, the military academy slapped him, "Who are you? What kind of identity?! How dare you be rude to someone?"
I don’t know if it was because of the military academy’s strong hands or the fragile bridge of Chai Yu’s nose. With a slap, Chai Yu staggered and fell, dizzy and bleeding from his nose.
"It's all a bunch of bad bones! Come on! Take me away!" Cao Jun Military Academy ignored Chai Yu who was slapped to the ground and shouted, "Hurry up! I'll delay the order! You and I'll lose your head!"
Upon hearing this, Cao's soldiers danced the scabbard and gun handle in their hands, and rushed to whip them, and drove Chai Yu and other craftsmen to the depressed mountain.
In fact, just like Chai Yu said, the place where gunpowder is lit and ambushed does not necessarily need to be taken by craftsmen.
Is gunpowder? Just light the fire. Who lit the fire?
So in fact, when Dong Zhao issued the order, he did not say that he wanted the craftsmen to light the fire, but in the process of conveying and executing the order, it turned out that Chai Yu and others would light the fire...
This is a very normal phenomenon in Shandong.
The middle and lower-level officials are not willing to bear any responsibility if they are in charge of affairs!
Although ignition is simple, it also means taking on certain "responsibility"!
What if you don't get up?
What if something goes wrong?
What's more, Cao Jun is not very familiar with gunpowder, and he has a sense of fear of strange things. What should I do if I am bombed and burned when it is ignited? So these people simply push them layer by layer. When they get down, wouldn't they just push them to the heads of Chai Yu and others?
People from Caojun Military Academy do not care whether things can be done well or how the situation changes. They just care not to let the superiors count the responsibility on their heads!
So ignition is left to the craftsmen!
And to ensure that there is no problem during the ignition, all the craftsmen were pulled up!
Anyway, as long as there is a problem, it is the problem of the craftsmen, and it has nothing to do with them!
As for whether this process is reasonable and whether it conforms to the general public's perception, it has nothing to do with them. They just need to do things that conform to the "process"!
Otherwise, no matter how reasonable or effective it is, it does not meet the "process", they will be the ones who are unlucky at that time! So as long as you are not unlucky, it doesn't matter who is unlucky!
Chai Yu was dripping blood all the way, staggering all the way. He couldn't understand why one thing and one problem could not be solved or dealt with?
Is it difficult to ignite?
Obviously this is not a difficult task.
But in Caojun Military Academy, it is a very difficult thing. In order not to take responsibility, Caojun Military Academy can pretend to be cruel in advance and stupid in the matter. When things cannot end, it means that they have no choice. They are the ones who are unlucky in the event. But in fact, they are just worried that the superiors will cause trouble for them, and the great gentry members will cause trouble for them, as for the others...
Whether the craftsmen eat well, whether they can live, whether they are hard work, what does it have to do with them? Even though Cao Jun Military Academy is the person in charge of the craftsman camp, in fact, he only needs to be responsible to his superiors, not to his subordinates.
The deserted mountain ark is not too far from the craftsman's camp. Chai Yu and others staggered for a short time before they arrived.
Cao Jun Military Academy asked Chai Yu and others to go to the ambush gunpowder site to wait for orders, and then they stood away from afar...
Chai Yu felt that his head was still buzzing, and the bleeding from his nose could not be stopped. He tried to cover it with sand, but it still had no effect. The blood dripped down and dripped on the ground, blew out large or small spots. The noisy sounds around him also made Chai Yu's body shake.
No one cares whether he is good or not, and no one asks him what's wrong.
In the dizziness, there was a sound coming from far and near.
"The Cavalry Army is here! They are here!"
『Everyone! Hurry up, get ready, get ready to ignite!』
Chai Yu subconsciously touched the scythe.
『Quick! It's now! Ignite! Ignite!"
Amid the chaotic shouts, Chai Yu numbly hit a few times. As the scythe collided, some sparks burst out, and just ignited the fermented velvet. Then the blood in Chai Yu's nose dripped down, extinguishing the flame with a puff...
Chai Yu was stunned for a moment, then started to laugh, trembling all over her laugh, and blood flowed into her mouth.
He threw the scythe to the side and collapsed against the gunpowder.
Ah, what a beautiful night...
The stars are dotted, and the galaxy is shining.
How long has it been since he looked up at the night color?
It turns out that only by turning your face back and lifting your head can you see the sky!
How can you see such a beautiful scenery without turning aside?
