Chapter 569: Try your best to win the chess game of life and death(1/2)
Cao Zhang chose to send troops today in order to defeat the Han army camp in one go.
In order to achieve this goal, Cao Zhang's preparation for today is not inadequate.
In addition to hundreds of catapults, Cao Zhang also brought out almost all the elite Wei troops in the camp.
After all, although a catapult can break a camp, it cannot capture people.
Cao Zhang had a very good idea. Perhaps the Han army's combat effectiveness was not weak, but the infantry field battle valued military morale.
Once the catapults were able to break through the Han army's camp with a devastating force, the morale of the Han army's camp would definitely collapse.
At that time, it will be as easy for the Wei army to pursue the Han army as a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
As a famous general, Cao Zhang's ideas make sense.
Unfortunately, the situation on the battlefield is always unpredictable, not to mention that his opponent is Mi Yang.
And based on the current situation on the battlefield, it is actually very clear who is the wolf and who is the sheep.
Because the collapse of military morale will greatly damage one's own combat effectiveness, this applies to any army in the world.
Looking at thousands of comrades not far away, they kept screaming in the raging flames, and finally turned into ashes and dissipated between the sky and the earth.
How could any of the Wei soldiers bear this shocking scene?
Especially after seeing the fire all over the sky, which was getting weirdly intensified, as if it was going to burn everything in the world, the tens of thousands of Wei troops behind Cao Zhang were even more frightened.
The fire released by Vulcan is truly extraordinary!
The Wei army that can be personally commanded by Cao Zhang is naturally Cao Wei's Luoyang Central Army.
In terms of the firmness of military morale, the Luoyang Chinese Army can be called the best in the world, and is naturally no worse than the Liangzhou Army.
But now, no matter how firm the military spirit is, after seeing the tragic scenes in front of you that are like hell on earth, you will inevitably be shaken or even shrink.
The originally tight formation of the Wei army gradually became turbulent.
This commotion was soon known to Cao Zhang.
In infantry combat, there are only a few factors that determine victory or defeat.
Military morale and formation are both very important factors.
But now these two factors that are crucial to the infantry are obviously not conducive to the Wei army. In this case, according to common sense, Cao Zhang should make the right decision.
This correct decision is to withdraw the troops and return to the main camp - to preserve the vitality so that the army can be reorganized and fight again in the future!
Especially when there were thousands of Han troops charging towards them with high morale.
The fire that filled the sky greatly reduced the morale of the Wei army, but on the contrary, it directly raised the morale of the Han army to the highest level.
With a god standing behind him, who would be afraid of fighting?
Who doesn’t dare to fight?
With Cao Zhang's military ability, he can certainly make the right decision when the situation is unfavorable to his own side. This is what he originally intended.
But the next move of another Han army made Cao Zhang hesitant.
The number of the Han army was not large, only a few thousand. This Han army was exactly the one led by Ding Feng.
When Mi Yang's command flag waved, not only Liu Feng led his troops to fight out from the camp, but Ding Feng also immediately led a thousand Han troops to fight out from another camp nearby.
However, according to Mi Yang's instructions, Liu Feng and Ding Feng had different combat missions.
Liu Feng's combat mission was to take advantage of the Wei army's disheartenment and move directly towards Wei's large army to cover up and kill them.
Ding Feng's combat mission was to take the opportunity to pull the catapult built by the Wei army back to the Han army's camp while Liu Feng was fighting fiercely with the Wei army.
Due to different combat missions, the two Han armies of Liu Feng and Ding Feng ran in different directions almost from the beginning.
Although much of the area where the catapults were located was covered in fire, hundreds of tall catapults were arranged in a row on the flat ground, occupying a lot of space.
It is true that the fire caused by oil is very fierce, but no matter how fierce it is, it is impossible to cover the entire site where hundreds of trebuchets are located at once.
What Ding Feng had to do was to pull the catapults that were not affected by the fire back to the Han army's camp in those areas where the fire had not yet spread.
This is exactly why Mi Yang arranged for Ding Feng to complete this seemingly simple task.
Although the flames cannot completely cover the catapult site at once, it is true that the flames are spreading around it.
The raging flames are something that ordinary people would be afraid of.
To complete this task, Mi Yang needs a good general who is courageous and good at commanding his troops.
Ding Feng is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Ding Feng did not live up to Mi Yang's expectations.
The closer Ding Feng led his army to the catapult, the easier it was for the heat wave caused by the burning fire to hit Ding Feng and thousands of Han troops in the face.
People will feel uncomfortable under the heat wave.
What's more, judging from the flames not far away, it is estimated that this place will be burned soon.
But there was no trace of fear on Ding Feng's face.
Even the thousands of Han troops behind him were like this.
They were afraid at first, and when people feel afraid, they will always subconsciously find a refuge in their hearts.
So they thought of Mi Yang.
These ten thousand fire lotuses were summoned by the general, so what are you worried about?
This idea may seem silly to others, but at the moment it did a great deal to stabilize the morale of thousands of Han troops.
After all, if Cao Zhen could do what Mi Yang did, then tens of thousands of Wei troops would not be afraid of what happened.
As long as the morale of the army is stable, and Ding Feng's flexible command, it will not be difficult for thousands of Han troops to pull back the catapults that have not been burned.
What made Cao Zhang hesitate was precisely because he saw thousands of Han troops acting as porters, pulling catapults one by one towards the Han army camp.
Although the catapults were tall and heavy, the thousands of Han troops were not able to move quickly, but every step the Han troops took was like a heavy hammer hitting Cao Zhang's heart.
Mi Yang must have done it on purpose!
Deliberately letting him see it, deliberately making him feel hesitant.
Both Mi Yang and Cao Zhang knew the destructive power of catapults against the camp.
Moreover, the catapults are dead. Where they throw the boulders depends on who controls them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now Mi Yang is under Cao Zhang's nose and wants to bring back the catapult that can cause massive damage to the camp and use it for his own use.
I wonder how could Cao Zhang not feel anxious and suspicious after seeing this shameless scene?
Is this how Mi Yang always fights?
Cao Zhang was not a fool, and he naturally saw through Mi Yang's true intention at a glance.
Mi Yang deliberately wanted him to see this scene because he didn't want him to issue an order to withdraw his troops.
Because once he gives the order to withdraw his troops, all the remaining catapults will be directly pulled into the Han army's camp.
At that time, if Mi Yang uses a powerful catapult made by the Wei army to attack the Wei army's camp, how will Cao Zhang respond?
Cao Zhang asked himself that he didn't have Mi Yang's ability to create huge flames on the ground with just one finger.
Under this premise, whether the remaining catapults are obtained by the Han army is directly related to the safety of the Wei army in Jieting camp.
The best way to prevent Mi Yang from succeeding is for Cao Zhang to lead his army to block Ding Feng's troops, preventing him from successfully transporting the catapult back to the Han army's camp.
But in this way, Wei Jun fell into another plot of Mi Yang.
Although the tens of thousands of Wei troops are the elite Luoyang Central Army, their morale is depressed and their formations are in turmoil. What are their chances of winning in a hasty field battle?
Even if Ding Feng only leads thousands of Han troops out of the camp, Liu Feng's thousands of Han troops can support Ding Feng at any time. Moreover, don't forget that behind Ding Feng is the Han army camp!
Cao Zhang didn't think Mi Yang would leave a reserve team in the camp, just waiting for him to "throw himself into a trap"!
Mi Yang's intentions are not difficult to guess.
But what's the use of guessing it?
Mi Yang used yangmou.
Conspiracy is not a conspiracy, it is about using various treacherous means to secretly influence others to achieve one's own goals.
What Yang Mou pays attention to is being upright, taking advantage of the situation and using fair and aboveboard means to make the enemy's lifeline tied to his own hands.
This allows the enemy to make a choice that is beneficial to him no matter what he does.
In the first battle of Jieting that day, Zhang He used similar means, forcing Liu Feng to be led by his nose.
Today, in the same battlefield, Mi Yang treated others in his own way, leaving the dilemma to Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang did not make a decision in time. He just stared at the young figure standing upright on the camp wall.
Although due to the distance, Cao Zhang could not clearly see Mi Yang's expression, let alone hear what Mi Yang said.
But at this moment, the wailing sounds of the Wei army that kept coming from around him, and the many catapults that kept coming into view, being pulled step by step towards the Han army's camp, gave Cao Zhang the illusion.
He felt that Mi Yang must be watching him on the camp wall now, and then he laughed at him in a mocking tone: "How can Cao Zhang defeat this move?"
