Chapter 675 I, Zhang Liao, will never surrender
The oil is ready. Xia Picheng has reserved some of this kind of strategic materials, but to be honest, there are not many of them. This thing will also deteriorate and will be useless after deterioration, so it can only be used before this.
Ordinary fish oil and peanut oil can only be stored on a small scale without preservatives. The previous battle to attack the Yangzhou Legion had consumed 30% of the grease. The result was OK, and the Yangzhou Legion was allowed to retreat obediently. Unfortunately, there was no time to pursue further, otherwise Cao Ren would be able to doubt his life.
"Come on! Cao Cao, let me see how much baggage you have to waste!" Zhang Liao was holding not the standard cavalry rifle in his hand at this moment, but his big knife. Faced with a horse-repelling rifle and a fence, this thing is more useful than a spear.
He usually rushed over, then made clear all the obstacles, and then rushed into the enemy camp with the help of subsequent soldiers. At least, when he attacked the camp several times before, he used this trick, and almost all of them were successful!
"…………???!!!!" Zhang Liao, who was charging at full strength, suddenly felt like he was stepping on the air, and then he threw himself out of the horse's back. Fortunately, he was not an ordinary person, and he rolled around, at least he didn't have a dog to eat shit, otherwise it would be too ugly.
Soon, he found that he was not the only one. Many knights had this situation. It seemed that they had guessed something from the front foot, either the left foot or the right foot. Anyway, they just stepped on the air, and then the horse fell sharply, throwing the knight on the horse's back out by inertia.
What's worse is that the horse's legs are probably broken. Even if the horse has its legs been cured, it will affect its speed. It either pulls a cart or can only kill and eat meat.
Cavalry tripped one after another, starting from 300 meters, and there were problems everywhere along the way, and a large number of soldiers fell to the ground. They were lucky or could still survive, but the moment they fell down was gone.
"It's weird!" At this time, even a fool could realize that the situation was wrong. Zhang Liao hurriedly searched on the ground, and soon found a deep pit on the ground. The key was that although the pit was deep, it didn't have to have a much bigger fist, but it could make the horse's legs sink in.
The key is that such a small pit is denser, and then relying on the cover of the surrounding grassland is really hard to guard against.
"Damn it, who would have come up with such an immoral thing?" Zhang Liao cursed directly. This kind of pit is not only difficult to prevent, but the key is that it will cause great damage to the war horses. Unless the other party does not want to capture the war horses at all, they will not use this trick at all.
But the problem is that war horses, especially excellent war horses, are not easy to obtain, and are important strategic materials. When fighting, they even avoid war horses to deal with cavalry on the horse's back. The two of them fought, but they did not say that they would attack the mount.
"Not good, retreat, retreat!" Zhang Liao realized something and quickly ordered his retreat, even if he had no horse to ride at this moment.
As expected, Cao Camp had already assembled a large number of crossbowmen, and the opponent had completely entered the shooting range, and the arrows suddenly poured out. The cavalry troops, because the people in front fell, the subsequent cavalry speed was affected.
What's worse is that the opponent used the Rockets! Damn, they used the Rockets! Don't forget that Zhang Liao and his subordinates all carried oil pots on their bodies. This thing is a double-sided blade. If you use it, it would be the enemy's nightmare, and it would accidentally turn into your own nightmare!
Most of the oil pots fell to the ground and fell to the ground. The oil leaked out. As the rocket fell on it, it immediately started to burn. This burn frightened the war horses, and even an oil pot that accidentally ignited other knights. The three thousand light cavalry troops soon fell into the sea of fire.
"No!" Zhang Liao exclaimed, an army had already arrived in front of him. The leader was the Tiger Guard, headed by Xu Chu. Ordinary soldiers were afraid that they would not be able to catch him at all, so Cao Cao directly sent the Tiger Guard to sweep the tail.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Liao was tied up by five flowers and sent to Cao Cao. After rescue, the 500 surviving soldiers were captured and 300 horses were caught. The others were either dead or had fled back. The number of people who escaped back was less than 200. This light cavalry unit can be said to be aborted.
"General Zhang Liao..." Cao Cao looked at the other party with great interest, "I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances."
"Hmph!" Zhang Liao turned his head aside. Three thousand people had already died without even launching an effective attack. He was to blame. Even if he died, he had no complaints.
"This failure has nothing to do with your own ability. I can only blame someone for getting along with the wrong tricks... You may not know that after these pits, our soldiers must be more careful when patrolling outside to avoid falling into it. When walking, it will not cause any trouble, at most they will sprain their ankles." Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao with a pity expression.
It was when I started to set up camp, and someone made a suggestion that a large number of such small pits were dug up around the camp, and it was done at night. It was still a little unclear at that time, so in the end, Guo Jia discovered the mystery and told her.
She had heard of Triple Marso, but this was the first time she heard of Triple Marso. The key was that it was such a small pit. She had doubted whether it was effective. Now it doesn’t. The power has been proven, but the destructive power is a bit too great. Many of the captive war horses are lame. I guess they can have a big horse meat meal tomorrow...
"It's Wang Yong again?" Zhang Liao was stunned. The recent appearance rate of this name seems to be a bit high. By the way, he is really a chef?!
"General Zhang Liao!" Cao Cao did not seem to plan to continue this topic, "I respect you as a talent. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, I promise not to treat you badly, and I will even pay more attention to you than Lu Bu!"
Zhang Liao is not only a cavalry general, but the key is that he has the ability to conquer the other side alone. Such talents can be cultivated as commanders of the legion. What is rare is his loyalty. It can be said that under Lu Bu, Chen Gong, who was loyal to him due to personal reasons, is currently only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who are truly loyal to him.
"I, Zhang Liao, even if I was put on a knife and axe and cut into pieces, I would never surrender and would never betray my lord!" Zhang Liao roared with a firm attitude that could even be felt from his momentum.
"Puchi..." The originally solemn and serious occasion was suddenly broken by a laugh. Everyone looked at the place where the laughter came, but found that Wang Yong didn't know when he appeared here.
"Why are you here?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong in confusion. He would not attend such formal occasions, and he was actually not qualified to attend.
"I just came to inform you that dinner was ready, because the surprise attack was delayed, but at least it was ready... General Zhang Liao, should you prepare a copy for you? We are still treating prisoners preferentially!" Wang Yong notified, and then looked at Zhang Liao with a smile.
"Are you any dissatisfied with what I said just now?" Zhang Liao looked at the chef with dissatisfaction.
"Nothing, I just thought of something very interesting..." Wang Yong replied casually, "So I want to prepare a supper for you, right? You know, if you don't have the strength to escape if you don't eat..."
"……………” Zhang Liao was silent, Cao Cao and the civil and military officials around him were silent, and the atmosphere became strange for a moment.
