"Yes, despite preparations made in advance, the enemy's attack is still as sharp as usual, and we still feel that we cannot exert our full strength. The brothers all feel that it is very difficult, and the news seems to have spread in the military camp.
.”
"Have you found out who did it?"
"Because it is impossible to openly conduct a thorough investigation, and the other party's methods are sophisticated and well hidden, so... my subordinates are incompetent."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, this has been expected by the governor and the military advisors. Continue the investigation without stopping, but there is no need to be too deliberate. Just let it happen naturally. You should be very aware of how cunning those guys are."
"Yes, General, then I will resign. However, there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not before I resign."
"Don't be verbose. If you think it's important, say it. If you don't think it's important, don't say it. You're an old soldier. Don't you understand this?"
"Yes, General. Recently, the morale of my observation army seems to have been affected to a certain extent. General, please pay attention."
"I understand, there is nothing we can do about it, but those traitors won't be able to survive for a few days, so don't worry."
"I understand what I have to do, so I will resign."
As the curtain of the military tent was lowered, Cao Xing's originally serious face fell. He couldn't help but press his temple with his left hand, as if he wanted to use this method to dispel the accumulated mental fatigue.
Cao Xing was born into a family of mountain people at the junction of Hedong and Hanoi. As long as he can remember, he often traveled with his parents through the mountains in order to avoid being chased by petty officials who were more ferocious than tigers but could not be hunted.
There are only two outcomes in a fight with a tiger - life or death, but those tax collectors can make you live or die.
In fact, Cao Xing already knew this truth when he reached a certain age and could help his father obtain prey, especially when he saw with his own eyes that the little official took the coins in exchange for a complete and beautiful fox skin that he had finally hunted.
While walking more than half of the way, he had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this world.
But he had no choice but to endure all this in order to live. This experience made him have a great hatred for those government figures since he was a child. At the same time, he sometimes dreamed that he could become one of them.
Then he and his parents can live a good and comfortable life, and maybe he can even marry a woman as virtuous as his mother.
So, when Ding Yuan went to Hedong and recruited local people to join the army, Cao Xing, who was stupid and couldn't tell the difference between military households and petty officials, walked into the military camp in ignorance.
Now looking back on who he was back then, while Cao Xing marveled at the miraculous fate of his fate, he also couldn't help but shake his head and sigh at who he was at that time.
Although compared to petty officials, the military household is obviously a little better than his status as a mountain man who was regarded as a black household. At that time, relying on the outstanding skills and rich experience he had trained with his father, Cao Xing, who was transferred to the regular army, immediately
He showed his extraordinary strength and was quickly promoted to a commander who could take charge of a ten-man team, becoming a minor leader with some status in the military camp.
Later, because of the military Zhongqiu School, his archery scores even surpassed the undisputed No. 1 Lu Bu in Ding Yuan's army, and this was also the beginning of his true entry into that circle. Of course, those days when he was "trained" by Lu Bu were also
Impressive.
This is the first half of Cao Xing's life so far. To put it bluntly, it is the story of an ordinary and simple boy who has been firing arrows since he learned how to nock a bow. As for commanding operations and other matters, Cao Xing has no experience at all.
It was completely unimaginable that one day I would actually be able to command thousands of troops, and that my words and deeds could determine the life or death of these people.
Of course, if you dream about sex at night, it is force majeure. If it is not a serious problem, you should see a psychiatrist.
But who would have thought that many years later, his dream would actually come true. Even Wei Yue and Cheng Lian, whose qualifications and abilities exceeded his own, were not able to get such an opportunity, but he was already one step ahead of them.
Do you have motivation? Yes, and there is a lot of it. But what’s more, it’s endless pressure.
Even though his brothers didn't say anything, Cao Xing could still feel the pressure that envy put on his shoulders from their envious eyes, even though there was not much dark feeling mixed in with that envy.
Wanting to do well, wanting to give confidence to those who support him, and wanting to completely shock those who don't trust him, with this mood, Cao Xing set foot on this land that he was once extremely familiar with, the place where he had struggled.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Zhao Yan's divination ability is regarded as a magical skill but he still cannot suppress the Bingzhou Army. Although those seemingly unpreventable attacks are indeed quite sudden and the intensity is well calibrated, it is a pity.
Although Cao Xing does not have the unbridled thinking of those famous military advisors, he has the meticulousness and meticulousness necessary for an excellent hunter and the caution of not letting go of any possible details. Coupled with his familiarity with this place, he can be called a
Watertight.
Cao Xing didn't know that the reason why he was chosen to fight against the Baibo Army was precisely because of his background and character. Although he was not outstanding in ability, fighting at home could offset the opponent's advantages, and secondly, he was careful.
It can save Yan Zhong and Zhong Yao a lot of worry. At least they don't need to worry about the situation of the frontline troops when the powerful rebellion in Hedong cuts off the communication between the front and rear.
Of course, this arrangement also requires Cao Xing to assume more responsibilities and make more decisive decisions. Although this is somewhat demanding for Cao Xing, after all, he has also led troops to conduct survival drills on the grassland.
Cao Xing's performance was enough to support Li Shushi's trust in him. The only thing Cao Xing lacked was some experience and a lack of confidence in his heart.
So if you force a guy like Cao Xing to a dead end, you might get an unexpected surprise.
at the same time……
"Offensive, the enemy's retreat has been cut off. As long as we work harder, we can defeat them. By then, the northeastern part of the river will be our Baibo Army's world. By then, everyone's family will be allocated fields. Good times are coming soon.
!”
With such shouts, the Bingzhou Army could clearly feel that the intensity of the enemy's attack seemed to have increased a lot. Obviously, for the Baibo Army, who were born from ordinary farmers, no matter how lofty ideals and beliefs they had, they could not compare to what was readily available.
The land they live in is more attractive to them and more exciting to them. And this period of time
Although they have not been able to break through the Bingzhou Army's defense, the gradual reversal of the situation has finally resulted in the offensive and defensive positions being different, which has brought them a lot of confidence. The weapons, armor and food recently successfully transported into Baibo Valley also seem to confirm that Bingzhou
There are rumors that the army is too overwhelmed to take care of itself and can no longer impose a blockade on Baibo Valley.
It's just that although the Baibo Army has exerted a higher combat effectiveness under the stimulation of rewards, the Bingzhou Army is still like a rock in the sea. Even if it is eroded by the sea water, its foundation has not been shaken at all. Even under the influence of witch doctors and shamans,
With their efforts, they worked hard to reverse the unfavorable situation. It has to be said that although auxiliary units such as shamans and witch doctors cannot effectively harm enemy soldiers due to their numbers, they can affect the situation of the battle through other means.
towards.
In fact, this round of attack was still the same as several or even dozens of previous attacks. In the end, the attackers had to return without success after throwing down hundreds of corpses. However, Bingzhou, who had witch doctors and shamans treating them in time,
The army's battle losses were less than three digits.
Of course, the Baibo Army should also be proud. At least this time, the battle damage they caused to the Bingzhou Army has been the highest in previous raids. If this situation continues, as long as there are another hundred and eighty raids, Cao Xing will surely be defeated.
It's time to become a polished commander. The only uncertainty is how many troops they have left?
Well, that's a problem.
"How is the situation? Has there been any change in the enemy's attack?"
Although he relaxed briefly when no one was around, Cao Xing did not let such emotions affect his spirit for long. The pressure and responsibility on him made him immediately come to the scene of what had just happened or happened after hearing the report from his subordinates.
A place of fighting.
"Reporting to the general, the enemy's attack has not changed much. It is just that the enthusiasm for the attack has become higher. There is no change in the methods. The suppression we have received is no different from the previous period. Everyone has basically adapted to this.
It’s an intense battle, but today the enemy’s attack time and intensity are longer than in the past, so the battle losses are slightly higher than in the past.”
While listening to the reports from his men, Cao Xing inspected the battlefield where the battle had just taken place. This was a habit he had developed recently. After all, anyone who found out that his opponent who had been successfully suppressed suddenly rebelled would feel incredible and curious, although in his heart
Negative emotions such as anger can also arise in life, but Sagittarius's calmness allows him to quickly abandon this emotion that is not only not beneficial to his thinking, but also disrupts his thinking and observation.
"Even with the old man's explanation, I still can't understand it. This is really not an area I can deal with."
Cao Xing looked at the battlefield with no abnormal phenomena and murmured to himself, just like he had come to the same conclusion after observing the battlefield countless times, that is - there is no conclusion at all. Who said he was just a hunter in the mountains?
, even if I know a few words now, I can at most only be able to write my name and the words that represent numbers and logistics supplies. The rest, even if I try hard to remember it at the time, I will forget it a day later.
Two pure.
It is precisely because of this that he has no understanding of those "XX formations" and "O stems and branches" that Yan Zhong talks about. Every time old man Yan Zhong talks about these things to him, he only thinks:
One result was that he seemed to hear the sound of iron scraping against frosted glass, and felt upset and angry to the point of being in pain.
However, it seems that in order to win the battle before him, he has to borrow power that he cannot understand.
