After being reborn for two years, I think I have some understanding of this era.
But this was the first time for Cao Peng to have a face-to-face confrontation... What was a war in the cold weapon era like? To be honest, Cao Peng had never seen it before. It looked like the two conflicts in Haixi, yes! They were just conflicts.
, it’s not really a war at all.
In Cao Peng's impression, war is just two sides setting up a battle array, either fighting each other, or a melee.
But what was the war like during the Three Kingdoms period?
It wasn't until now that he had a real understanding... War in the cold weapon era was not as simple as a random fight between horses and horses. It also involved many factors. Material, spiritual...
...For example, Deng Zhi's "drag" strategy was a war of attrition; for example, Chen Gong's attack was a head-on attack, similar to what later generations would call psychological warfare.
Military books and strategies are dead, the key lies in people's understanding and application.
I remember watching a movie in my previous life, which said that when a country attacks a city, it must first use an arrow array to deter it. In fact, it is also a psychological tactic.
If the psychological quality is not good, one round of arrow shooting is enough to cause morale to collapse. What is there to talk about holding on and fighting hard?
Cao Peng read Sun Tzu's Art of War in his previous life, and he also read "The Art of Sima" in this life.
But without having experienced a real war, how could he possibly know the secrets of this art of war? Looking at the panic scene on top of the city, Cao Peng felt for the first time how naive he had been before. What he was facing was not a kitten.
The puppy is the famous Chen Gong!
Zhou Cang ran around and shouted loudly to keep the soldiers calm.
Cao Peng stood on the city tower, looking solemnly at Lu Bu's army outside the city, setting up camp.
After dawn, won’t the chickens and dogs stay?
Chen Gong's method is really clever...
The two sides have not yet engaged in battle, but their own morale has already been significantly low. And during this long night, fear will bite the hearts of the soldiers on the city. I am afraid that by daybreak, without Chen Gong's attack, Quyang will be defeated.
!What a psychological warfare.
"Sir, the situation is not good."
After Zhou Cang stabilized at the top of the city, he came to Cao Peng.
With a worried look on his face, he spoke softly to Cao Peng, "The round of stone-throwing just now gave everyone fear. I'm worried that if this continues, we won't be able to hold on for long. We must restore morale as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a battle tomorrow.
There's big trouble..."
"I know!"
Cao Peng tapped the crenel with his fingers rapidly, and his mind started working rapidly.
"Fetch Pan Zhang."
"Here!"
Zhai Jiong obeyed the order and left, while Cao Peng stayed in the tower to observe.
At this time, torches were lit on the city tower and the lighting was restored. The empty city plan set up by Cao Peng was completely destroyed by Chen Gong's stone throwing. It seems that the time traveler is not omnipotent... When encountering ordinary people or
However, in front of a person like Chen Gong, it is better not to use those trivial tricks to avoid making people laugh. Cao Peng knew that the battle in Quyang would be more cruel and difficult than he imagined. However,
, this battle is also an important test for him.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Peng subconsciously tightened his grip on the long knife.
Zhou Cang stood quietly beside him and did not disturb Cao Peng with any words.
In fact, how could he not understand the state of mind that Cao Peng was in at this time after having experienced many battles? In fact, when Zhou Cang faced the battle for the first time, he was even worse than Cao Peng. He was so frightened that he wet his pants. That battle
, if it weren't for Wang Meng, he might have become a lonely soul without an owner.
Therefore, he knew that this kind of knot could not be solved by external forces, he could only face it by himself.
As for whether Cao Peng can untie this knot in his heart, and how long it will take to untie this knot in his heart? Zhou Cang doesn't know! He only knows that he will fight to the death to protect Cao Peng...
"Sir, the thieves are too arrogant."
Pan Zhang hurried to the top of the city, and he was accompanied by Deng Fan and Xia Houlan.
Xiahoulan's condition was a little better. After all, he had participated in the battle with Yuan Shao. This small attempt to ask for directions did not have a big impact on him.
However, Pan Zhang and Deng Fan were obviously a little embarrassed.
Pan Zhang cursed all the way and walked behind Cao Peng, but saw Zhou Cang waving his hand to signal him not to speak.
Cao Peng stood still, standing behind the city wall, looking at the enemy camp in the distance. After a while, he suddenly turned around, his expression calm as usual.
"I want to steal the camp, who dares to fight?"
"ah?"
Zhou Cang and others were startled and looked towards Cao Peng.
Stealing camp?
Cao Peng clenched his fists, raised his head and looked at Xiapi Military Camp.
"Chen Gongtai said, if I don't react, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the morale of the army. However, I can feel that Chen Gong doesn't really take us in his eyes. The previous stone throwing was more of a deterrent than a kill. This man has real talent and learning.
, but he is arrogant...the more he looks down on us, the more we have to give him trouble. He throws stones to scare us, and we fight back by stealing camps.
However, there are many dangers in stealing a camp here.
Our purpose is also not to kill, but to intimidate the Xiapi bandits.
He uses tough methods to intimidate us; then we will use tougher methods to tell him our determination..."
Pan Zhang and others fell silent immediately.
What Cao Peng said makes perfect sense.
But they also knew that if they went to steal the camp, they would be in trouble.
"I am the chief general and I shall personally lead the death squad. Who is willing to die with me?"
"Sir, you must not do this!"
Zhou Cang and others quickly stopped him, each of them looking ashamed.
Cao Peng said: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to dissuade you. I am the commander-in-chief. If I cannot take the lead, how can I convince the soldiers?"
Send me an order to select one hundred brave men from the army and assemble at the West Campus at the time of the embarrassment."
After that, Cao Peng strode away.
Only Zhou Cang and others were left, standing where they were, looking at each other.
After returning to the government office, Cao Peng ordered Zhai Jiong to get a piece of leather armor with spiked nails and put it on his body.
Then, he sat under the porch, took out the whetstone, and sharpened the sharp edge of the long knife. It was not that he wanted to take risks, but in this situation, he had to take risks. The sharpening stone made a buzzing sound.
Under the light, the knife shimmered with a dark red glow of blood. He Da Dao has not had enough blood since it was born. It must have been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and tonight was just the opportunity to give it a good drink.
During World War II, the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, and the entire U.S. military lamented.
Roosevelt immediately ordered the mobilization of the best pilots to bomb Tokyo.
The US military called this move a retaliatory action. In fact, the results of the bombing of Tokyo were not great, but it gave the United States a great encouragement. After Pearl Harbor, the United States quickly launched a counterattack. Of course, because of its strong national power,
But the bombing of Tokyo was like a shot in the arm, inspiring the entire United States. The purpose of bombing Tokyo was to tell the Communist Party: We are still fighting...
Cao Peng decided to steal the camp, and his purpose was similar to bombing Tokyo.
I don’t ask to kill many of you, I just want to tell you that I will never give in!
In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many similar actions. The most famous one was during the Battle of Hefei, when Gan and Ning broke into the joint camp with hundreds of cavalry, and Zhang Liao immediately led his troops to counterattack. In a sense, there is no difference. It's just that Cao Peng's current
The situation seems to be more dangerous.
Take out a piece of coarse cloth and slowly wrap it around your hand.
After Cao Peng wrapped his hands, he grabbed He Da Dao, held the handle with both hands, and slashed in the air several times.
For a moment, his spirit seemed to reach a strange and wonderful state. He smiled, put the big knife into the suede scabbard, and walked out of the government office.
In the West Campus, the lights are brightly lit.
Five hundred warriors were temporarily surrounding the school grounds, and at the center of the stage, a hundred selected warriors lined up neatly. Xia Houlan, Pan Zhang, Zhou Cang, Deng Fan, and Wang Xu were already waiting in the school grounds.
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Cao Peng stepped onto the general stage with his head high and chest high. He wore a short jacket and leather armor with a bag slung across his waist. After Cao Peng stepped onto the general stage, he looked calm.
His cold eyes swept over everyone in the audience.
In an instant, the entire campus was silent, except for the crackling sound of the pine oil torch.
"I know, many of you are scolding me in your hearts!"
Cao Peng said.
His voice is not loud, he is in the stage of changing his voice, and he is still a little immature.
"Many of you are scolding me. I singled you out to die." Cao Peng looked at those people and saw a slight fluctuation in their eyes. In fact, it was not just these soldiers, including the five people from Zhou Cang.
Inside, I can't help but feel strange.
"Yes, you are indeed going to die...but I will lead you to die together."
Cao Peng suddenly shouted loudly, "Let's die together." The sound of "Let's die together" echoed in the sky above the school grounds and lingered for a long time.
There was a buzz in the school grounds, as if a pot had exploded.
"Many people here know me." Cao Peng continued: "I don't like fighting, I even hate fighting... But now, we must raise our swords and guns. This war was not started by us, but by people outside the city.
Those thieves, they are jealous of Haixi's achievements in the past year. They are jealous that in the past year, you have lived a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing.
Who is willing to bleed? Who is willing to die?
Including me, I also yearn for a carefree life in Nanshan.
However, Lu Bu is not willing, Chen Gong is not willing, and those bastards who only know about looting and destruction are not willing. Similarly, they do not want you to live a good life, because they cannot live such a good life, so they want
To destroy, to plunder, to kill..."
Cao Peng's voice echoed in the school grounds.
The soldiers held their breaths one by one, and as Cao Peng's yin and yang faltered, they showed angry expressions.
Even Zhou Cang, Pan Zhang and Deng Fan were all very nervous... Yes, we lived a good life in Haixi. We didn't provoke anyone, so why did we have to go through such a hardship? Their eyes were red, their hands
They were trembling, and they felt a breath welling up in their chests, making their blood boil immediately.
“I am not from Haixi, nor from Quyang, but Haixi is where all my efforts have been concentrated.
I will never let others trample on my efforts, nor will I let them act recklessly. You have all heard the words of the thieves before... They want our chickens and dogs to be spared, and they want our blood to flow into rivers. Your fields
, your houses, your wives and children will be trampled, raped, and destroyed by them... Can you endure it? I can't, I will never tolerate their arrogance.
I know that there are many of them, several times more than us.
But I'm not afraid... I want to tell them that we will never give in. Even if I lose my life, I will never give in to them.
Who of you wants to live the same kind of life without clothes and food? Who of you wants to live the kind of life again, where you are bullied wantonly and have your dignity trampled on? I don’t want to, even if I put
I shed all my blood to defend my dignity.
Tonight, I will take you to your death.
I will fight side by side with you. There is no Hailing Lieutenant or Mr. Cao. I am just like you, just a group of ordinary soldiers who want to protect their homeland and protect their relatives from being bullied. I will take you to death and be with you.
, shed the last drop of blood; I will take you to death, use the big knife in our hands, and use our blood to tell those beasts outside the city that I am not afraid of you!"
In the school grounds, there is still silence...
Not only the hundreds of warriors, but also the soldiers around the school grounds were trembling, their teeth bared, and their eyes were filled with death.
"Go to death!"
"Go to death..."
I don't know who it was, but let out a low roar.
In an instant, hundreds of people shouted in unison, and the entire campus was like a volcano about to erupt.
"Come here, serve the wine!"
Cao Peng roared, and someone immediately came forward with a wine jar.
Cao Peng picked up the wine bowl and raised it towards the hundreds of warriors in the audience, "Drink this bowl of Zhuangxing wine, and we will kill Yama on the road to the underworld."
Come on, do it!”
"Dry!"
Cao Peng drank the wine in one gulp, and then threw the wine bowl to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Pan Zhang stepped forward and said loudly: "Zhang, please go to death with me."
"Xia Houlan is willing to die with the young master."
"Zhou Cang is willing to..."
Cao Peng's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "We don't need too many people in this battle. Wen Gui is the only one who can accompany me. If we die in the battle, Qu Yang will ask you to be more careful. The rebel army will not last long and will not last for ten months."
Something unexpected has happened. Before that, Qu Yang will beg you."
Zhou Cang and the others wanted to speak again, but Cao Peng glared at them and shut their mouths one by one.
"Let's go!"
Cao Peng looked at the sky, jumped off the general platform, and strode outside the school grounds.
Pan Zhang followed closely, and hundreds of warriors filed in.
Just as he was about to walk out of the school grounds, he suddenly saw a person rushing out of the crowd and blocking Cao Peng's way.
"Please, Master, take me to my death."
The man was about twenty-four or five years old, tall and strong. He carried a gun bag on his back, about one meter long, with two gleaming iron gun heads protruding from one end. He knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "
The villain Haixi Chuge is willing to die with the young master, please do so."
"you?"
Pan Zhang said softly: "This guy is a sea dweller and has good skills.
It's just that his mind is a little unclear and sometimes he goes crazy, so in the army, everyone calls him Mad Chugo, but he is actually a good soldier."
"Have you thought clearly?"
"Young man, I've thought about it clearly... I'm just a dead ear, a mere bandit, what's there to be afraid of?"
"In this case, I allow you to die with me."
Cao Peng laughed, stepped forward and grabbed Chu Ge. This guy was half a head taller than Cao Peng, with a thick face, a short and thick neck, and a ferocious face.
"Let's go, let those Xiapi dogs see what we are capable of, the Haixi heroes."
