It’s not that the Cao army soldiers didn’t want to be faster, but that there was some mud and pebbles on the river beach, which made the Cao army soldiers unable to get up quickly. Moreover, for the Cao army soldiers, they did not have any excellent combat boots, and many people were still wearing ordinary clothes.
When the straw sandals were stepped on to the mud, they were like later generations wearing slippers and stepping into the mud pit.
Cai He looked at the soldiers under his command and suddenly became slightly tilted, and then looked up at the heavy armored Li Dian formations that were still on the river bay. Suddenly, some cold sweat suddenly oozed out of his palms!
Damn it!
"Send the order! Speed up and pass through the river beach!"
Cai He rushed to the side of the ship and shouted loudly.
He finally figured out what was the reason for his uneasiness before.
terrain!
Unfortunately, most of the time, people often fall in, and realize that there is a trap here!
When Cai He's soldiers walked up from the river beach, they heard a sudden rapid sound of clappers in Li Dian's army, and then the heavy armored soldiers separated left and right, revealing the crossbowmen lined up in the rear.
In front of the crossbowman, there were torches inserted one after another!
The crossbowmen were bringing the cloth strips wrapped around the arrow to the torch...
If it is at night or in the morning and evening with poor light, the light of these torches will definitely be discovered in advance.
Trap, ambush.
As the most basic means of marching and fighting, it has been used from ancient times to the present.
Everyone understands it. It’s so old-fashioned that it can’t be more old-fashioned, but being able to use it well is considered a real skill.
Just like hunting, everyone knows that you can catch prey by putting a condom, but how to put it in? It’s not like the keyboard man who talks and says something and then comes back to this one, etc.
The Rocket drew a red arc in the sky.
Cai He's pupils reflected the sky, and the crackling sound of reeds burning in his ears.
『Fire! Fire!』
Cao's army was in chaos.
The reed marshes soaked in tinder oil in advance turned into a sea of fire, and thick smoke wrapped around Mars and rushed into the sky.
『Ahhhhh…』
The soldiers of Cao's army were immediately dispersed.
Cai He landed on the shore, and did not get burned directly, but the burning sea of fire and the rising black smoke cut the entire battlefield into two parts. Whether Cai He's troops wanted to go to
When the soldiers from the Passage were moving forward, they could not do it.
In a blink of an eye, Li Dian's heavy armored soldiers had already reached the sight of Cao's soldiers in Cai He's army.
The swords and guns of Cao's soldiers only made sparks on the iron scales on the heavy armored soldiers, but the long swords and halberds of the heavy armored soldiers tore open the front line like cutting melons and vegetables, and defeated the Cao's soldiers step by step.
Cai He raised his head and tried to penetrate the burning black smoke and arrive at the place where the mourning pass...
In fact, the reed marsh at this time is not as easy to burn as in autumn and winter.
Especially near the river bank, if there is no tincture to help the ignition, it will automatically go out after a while. After all, there is still sufficient moisture in the plants in spring.
So even if a big fire is ignited, it is just burning tinder oil, and there is still no fire in other places.
For example, at the place where the gate of the meteorological gate is closed.
But in the midst of the fire, Cai and him saw nothing.
The gate of the meteorological gate is tightly closed...
『Retreat! Retreat quickly!』
Even a fool knows that something is wrong.
Cai He shouted, asking his subordinate Cao's soldiers to withdraw.
The Cao army military academy next to Cai He changed his expression, "The captain cannot withdraw!"
"Why can't you retreat?" Cai He didn't turn his head, as if he was still staring at the soldiers on the river beach, but his eyes were filled with a fierce meaning, and his hands tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.
『General asked us to defend this place! Once we retreat, the Pass will definitely be alone!』 Cao Jun Military Academy said in a deep voice, 『Now we are the only ones...』
"What is that?!" Before Cai He could finish his speech at the Cao Army Military Academy, he suddenly pointed his hand at a certain direction.
Cao Jun Military Academy subconsciously turned his head to look, but in the end he saw nothing, he felt panic!
Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain in my throat!
『Geeh…』
Cao Jun Military Academy, who was covering his throat, fell down.
『…』 Cai He looked at the sword in his hand and suddenly smiled bitterly, 『It’s really bloody when he is unsheathed...』
Cai He's escort was startled, "Captain, you..."
Cai He looked over and said, "Why are you standing there? Find a place to throw it into the water! He said he was hit by the trap and died!"
The guard quickly answered, paused, and said, "But if General Cao's side..."
"Roy!" Cai He slashed on the side of the ship with a fierce knife, "That guy just wants our Cai family to die! He dies in vain!"
Cao Ren asked Cai He to help guard the Pass, but did not give a defense period. He did not even mention the requirements and post-war rewards. He just left a sword, implicitly threatened.
There is also a Cao Jun Military Academy called assistance, which is actually surveillance, and even attempts to undermine him, and often question his orders!
What does Cao Ren want to do?
Is it still difficult to guess?
Cai He is just not capable, he is not stupid!
"But..." The guard was still a little worried.
『But that's a big deal!" Cai He cursed, 『I'll retreat today, come again tomorrow, come again the day after tomorrow, I'll be on the water anyway! I won't go out of the battle with the Imperial Pass, isn't that right? I'm also worried that they will really come out!
If they don't come, they will fight each other! If the Imperial Pass is lost, they will run first! We can also get some credit for protecting the withdrawal!』
Seeing that Cai He had made a decision, the guards couldn't say anything else.
Cai He waved his hand and said, "Retreat! Retreat!"
...
...
Without Cai He's support, the Death Pass would be somewhat unbearable.
After two days of pulling, the defense of the Ice Pass finally had a loophole and quickly collapsed.
The broken window effect is also applicable to urban defense.
One collapse will collapse everywhere.
The guards of the Pass finally raised fire in the city, burning and stopping Li Dianjun, in order to burn the food, grass and equipment that they had no time to take away, etc.
Li Dian sent soldiers to the pass to put out the fire, but the fire was everywhere. Even if the pass was right by the river, it was difficult to extinguish it quickly. Many places were burned, and the grains, grass, granaries, etc. were even turned into scorched earth.
The sound of war drums gradually faded into the mountains, forests and rivers, and the remaining afterglow turned into painful crying and moans.
Li Dian looked at the last big flag of Cao on the city wall falling in the flames, and his fingers under the iron armor were deeply pinching into the palm of his palm.
The charred ladder was stuck in the gap in the city wall, and blood was winding into a stream along the cracks of bricks.
Li Dian walked on the battlefield and watched his subordinates sort out the wreckage of the battlefield bit by bit.
Soon, he found the young messenger.
The young man who always blushed and tried to send the command with the greatest voice fell on his back in the mud, and the blood spurted out of the arrows as they penetrated his neck condensed into dark red patterns on his armor.
"call……"
Li Dian exhaled a long breath, stood beside the corpse of the messenger, and left silently for a long time.
The day after conquering the Pass, Li Dian began to clean up the pass and adjust civil affairs.
While sorting out matters, we wait for the subsequent food and grass to arrive here.
From the morning to the evening, at dusk, the casualties statistics in the army were finally reported to Li Dian's desk.
Li Dian placed this volume of the list of deaths next to the food and grass list and the city defense map.
Starting from Nanzheng, he conquered cities and land all the way, and he did achieve many achievements, but at the same time, many of them died, many of them were soldiers trained by Li Dian after he arrived in Hanzhong.
The sunset is like blood.
Of course, Li Dian never expected that this Three Kingdoms war in history would last for 60 years!
Now, Li Dian felt that the war had been long enough and should be calmed down...
Looking at the sunset in the distant mountains being swallowed up by the mountain line bit by bit, Li Dian couldn't help but sigh.
"The iron armor condenses in the dusk, and the clothes dye blood red.
"The cloud ladder holds the setting sun, and the war drum breaks the sky.
"The blade rolls up and still urges the horse, and the flag is broken and the bow is drawn.
"Who remembers the dead bones after success...
"Who remembers the appearance of a young man..."
...
...
Spring shines, ice and snow melt, and everything gradually wakes up.
The geese returning north passed through the vast wilderness, crossed the rolling hills, flew over the vast river, and disappeared into the distant horizon.
Humans always like to destroy it after construction, and then rebuild it in a mess.
It's like a building block for children to play in their childhood.
Looking at the towers piled up, when they collapsed under the push of their own hands, they always felt an indescribable feeling.
Of course, it was piled up and pushed by itself. If it was just piled up, it would be a 'enthusiastic' guy who helped him slapped him down...
This is also the case in the Han Dynasty.
The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty have been around for three to four hundred years.
People on this land are constantly stacking new towers and then overthrowing them.
During this period of continuous collapse and reconstruction, the magnificent side certainly makes people full of passion and excitement, but it does not deny that it brings death, destruction, and endless pain.
In war, the two sides are not only strategists and generals, but also logistics and reserves.
Near the Youfufeng in Guanzhong, Jiang Jie rode a horse and stepped onto a dirt slope. Seeing his men passing through the order of the ditches in the dirt plateau, he couldn't help but feel a little passionate and ambitions surged.
These are the men he brought out from Longyou, and now they are going to be sent to Tongguan...
Among these people, Han people account for a minority, while Hu people are the majority.
Among the Hu people, the Qiang people are the most common.
Although he claimed that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses he trained was not bad, he still had a problem in his heart, which could not be lingered like a shadow, making it difficult for him to let go.
These guys...
So this time he came with these people in person. On the one hand, he also reported to the cavalry in person, and on the other hand, he also hoped to ask the cavalry how to solve the problem in his mind.
Jiang Er's eyes swam and stayed in the direction of the village in the distance for a moment.
Everything is growing, and the nearby villagers are already turning the land and sowing seeds one after another.
"Let them restrain the war horses!" Jiang Jie shouted to his guards, "Don't ruin Zhuang He!"
The guard responded and went down to send the order.
Jiang Xiao, whose name is jingu, but he is not very handsome at all.
He is a large clan in Longxi, and his ancestors are also rich. He has good gene inheritance and most of them have some Hu blood. Although he does not have high jaw bones and deep eye sockets, he can also be called straight eyebrows and eyes and square in appearance.
But if you only have a look and just a decoration, you will be tired and abandoned at any time, but your talents will be different...
Now these people are the best display of his talents.
There is a horse farm in Longyou, and there is also a horse farm in Yinshan.
There is a soldier training base in Longyou, and there is also a soldier training base in Yinshan.
However, in Yinshan, Han people were the main ones and Hu people were the auxiliary ones. In Longyou, the opposite is the main source of troops was the Han people, and Han people were the second.
Therefore, there are naturally differences in the methods of training soldiers.
Among the Han people, there are also thorns, but it is relatively easier to communicate, but the Hu people are different.
In the Longyou Horse Farm, Jiang Jie had a profound understanding that the Hu people are really hard to discipline.
The most critical issue is that the Hu people have no moral concepts!
It’s not that the Hu people don’t understand right or wrong, but that their right or wrong are completely different from the Han people’s standards!
Even the standards between one tribe and another are different!
Distinguishing right and wrong is almost all descendants of China. In the first lesson of enlightenment, while the Hu people are missing in the current environment...
This is related to the education system.
Confucianism, like people, has good and bad things, and needs to be distinguished.
In any case, Confucianism's contribution to the Chinese education system is ahead of the world and no one can deny it.
During the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, from Emperor Wu of Han to admire Confucianism, the Chinese under such a system will be more or less affected. Even if they don’t know words, they will be affected by the environment. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness,
The most basic moral standards have constructed the values of the grassroots people of the Han Dynasty and profoundly influenced the Chinese in later generations.
But what are the moral standards did the Hu people of the same period have?
No.
Even stealing or robbing items will not be considered as doing evil, but rather a skill.
For many Hu people, being able to steal or rob is the hero of the family. If they can take their clan members to rob, they are the heroes of the tribe!
These Hu people have lived in such an environment for more than ten years, or even longer. Now even when they arrive in the Han area, this habit is not so easy to change...
After all, the tribal system of the Hu people is slavery in a sense, and the tribal leaders control everything, property and life. Even when they reach the Longyou Horse Farm, some people still cannot completely change their old habits. Moreover, the Hu people
The military academy felt that as long as he did not detain the Han soldiers, the Hu soldiers did not dare to resist or report him, and Jiang Jie could not do anything to them.
Therefore, during the training in Longyou Horse Racecourse, Jiang Jie almost performed the most stringent training and strictly governed the army.
All punishments are almost executed according to the highest standards.
But it is still difficult to change the habits of these Hu people...
Of course, general mistakes are not going to be beaten to death, but once the red line is touched, especially the second repeated crime, it will definitely be severely punished!
At first, Jiang Jie was quite reasonable, but later he took it himself and beat the person to death...
The first time, Jiang Jie gave a warning and punishment, but did not completely restrain these Hu military academies. Several of them felt that they were punished and were accidentally caught...
The concept of Hu people is sometimes ridiculous.
As long as you are not caught on the spot, you can ignore it and it doesn't count.
Not only money, but even the little lady on the grassland, whoever caught it, no matter who the little lady was following before. This custom was even passed down to the Hu tribes of later dynasties, and it was not until after the enlightenment.
It will be better.
Of course, part of this is that the average number of people in the desert is too small, which leads to the Hu people fighting with the environment more than dealing with people. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will bring out the pattern of getting along with nature, beasts, etc.
The morality of the Hu people is like a wolf stealing a sheep. They are caught and killed and shot on the spot. That is a bad luck for the wolf, but if it is not discovered, it is the ability of the wolf.
To reverse this concept, it is not feasible to reason. Moreover, the Hu military academy is rough and thick-skinned. The general military sticks and whipping are treated as if they were caught and punished. If the punishment is over, it will be fine. The next time you will have to
Be more careful not to be caught again.
After several consecutive times, Jiang Jie knew that the general punishment was useless. He found an opportunity to deliberately find the most reckless Hu military academy during a full-army competition, and successfully stirred him up so much that he was furious.
Then the two of them competed with training sticks in front of the entire army.
Then Jiang Jie was executed publicly...
Because he used training wooden sticks, the damage was insufficient. When he hit the back, the Hu military academy could not beat him. He wanted to ask for forgiveness, but was beaten to death by Jiang Jie!
The entire army was shocked, and the Hu military academies also became honest after this incident. They would do whatever Jiang Jie said, no longer bargaining, nor dare to disobey.
Although this is a good phenomenon, Jiang Jie vaguely felt that it was actually something inappropriate.
Isn’t this like when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the army?
When the Hu soldiers and horses were in front of Dong Zhuo, they were all very obedient, but as long as Dong Zhuo could not see it, or after Dong Zhuo died, their true colors would be revealed immediately...
At present, these Qiang people and other Hu soldiers did abide by Jiang Jie's orders, but what if they left Jiang Jie?
So when the General of the Cavalry ordered the mobilization of these men and horses, Jiang Jie came with these men and horses with some anxiety.
After all, if there is a problem with these people, they will inevitably be involved in his head!
Today, Jiang Xiao is also a person with old people and young people. Although he is not as terrifying as the shackles of the "Five Sons" in later generations, he has also begun to consider the future of his children and the safety of his family...
I really hope that General Husband can solve this problem...
No, Jiang Jie rejected the idea that he had just come up with and held the reins of the war horse tightly.
Not hope, but affirmation!
General of the Cavalry, there must be a way to solve this problem!
