When the navy in Chang'an attacked and burned the Cao army's floating bridge, Zhu Ling couldn't help but become a little impatient.
Because the ravines on the soil plate are difficult to climb.
The Cao army knew that the Cavalry Army had the ability to pass the gullies between the earthen plateaus, and also used some clues to infer how the soldiers of the Cavalry Army passed the gullies. Therefore, for some areas that were easier to climb, they were "loosened and loosened", which led to Zhu Ling's failure to climb in both places.
In addition, he had to force the Cao army's sentry to open the sight of the Cao army when climbing. Once exposed, it would attract the attack from Cao army directly above his head. However, Zhu Ling was not discouraged. He continued to look for areas where he could climb. He first tried to climb up with a small number of soldiers, and then borrowed ropes to fix the folded ladders. Finally, he found a quite secret position and sent people to climb up.
But in this way, it will take a long time.
But Zhu Ling couldn't be anxious. He had the experience of sneaking into Cao's army camp many times, so this time he was still here to lead the troops.
A sneak attack is understood by almost all the generals in charge, and they even know the tactics that they can prevent, but it does not mean that they can prevent it. The most important point is whether they can discover it in time.
Therefore, Zhu Ling walked very carefully. He first tried to use a small number of soldiers to go to the opposite plateau, and then carefully observed the location of the Cao Bing post. When the Cao Bing post was attracted to Tongguan and Fuqiao, he pulled out a post. Then he took the whole staff to climb the plateau with confidence and touched the middle and rear part of the Cao Bing camp.
For the convenience of movement, Zhu Ling and others did not wear thick armor, but only wore ordinary armor and no war skirt. They only added extra leg guards that would not affect their movements and make noises. If they were really trapped in the siege of Cao's soldiers, their ability to continue to fight was relatively poor, so what Zhu Ling needed was to go in and out quickly, and while Cao's attention was attracted to the direction of the river, they would run away.
In principle, the arrangement of Cao's army is not a big problem.
This is the old tradition of Shandong - "in principle", but in fact, in Shandong, there are more practical problems. Cao's army fought with the Cavalry Army several times, but they did not say how many achievements they had achieved. Originally, Shandong people thought they had some advantages, but they could not find any way to break the enemy in front of the Cavalry Army.
The small army could not defeat the large army, and the siege equipment could not be compared with it, and the flexibility and maneuverability were more than one step away. It seemed that all aspects were behind. The soldiers of the Cao army felt that they had worked hard to come to Guanzhong to beat the cavalry...
For the Cao army soldiers in the Tongguan camp, Tongguan had fought for so long, and they were pushed to the lower city of Tongguan. With a counterattack, the opponent recovered the lower city area in half a day, forcing Cao's army to retreat and escape, and suffered heavy damage.
This had a great impact on the morale of the Cao army. Many people have now begun to privately rumor that there are not many cavalry troops now, which is so difficult to fight. If there are too many cavalry soldiers behind them, they will be over!
Under such a mentality, the Cao army soldiers who were biased towards the back line did not show their full alert ability. Many Cao army soldiers at the preset post points did not care about the movements in their own alert areas, but were very worried about the battle in the Tongguan River in the distance, and gathered together to sing.
Interestingly, in addition to expressing worries and feelings, these soldiers also have a little "lucky"!
It’s like seeing someone selling children and girls, and then you can sit down and drink tea and wine.
Share the same hatred of the enemy?
It does not exist.
Shandong's obvious class division and the strategy of driving the people to oppose the people have made the ordinary bottom-class divisions split into many factions. For large regions, you will always ask where you are from? For small ones, you can divide your preferences, and the salty and sweet parties can also fight to the point where you are not recognized by your relatives.
Under such circumstances, it is rare for ordinary soldiers in Shandong to have any empathy. Instead, these people will take the initiative to stand up to protect the rulers and their superiors...
Because in the hearts of these ordinary people and soldiers who empathize with the rulers, it seems that they will be considered a good dog by the rulers, who can reward two more pieces of meat, or promote them to be the dog.
Yes, the head dog is still a dog.
But as long as they live better and die later than other dogs, they will be satisfied.
So when they saw the fire on Tongguan Sakura Road, the soldiers of the Cao army were burned to pieces, and they heard the sound of war drums from both sides. The shouts did not stop. The catapults and artillery of the cavalry army continued to roar, instead they gained a trace of happiness from the pain of the same kind.
Fortunately I didn't go!
Fortunately, it was not me who died!
fortunately……
Under such circumstances, Zhu Ling and his soldiers bypassed the obstacles and traps set up by the Cao army and headed towards the Cao army's rear camp. After passing the forefront cordon, the posts on the middle and back lines of the Cao army were obviously not very attentive. At some point, Zhu Ling even thought that they were all seen by the Cao army and would definitely be exposed, but no warning sound came out.
Most of the soldiers of Cao's army were dejected, as if they had not eaten enough...
Maybe I really didn't eat enough.
But this issue is no longer very important to Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling is now more concerned about what goal to choose.
forage?
Although it is indeed a good choice, it is hard to say how much food and grass left by Cao's army now.
So you can only make a flexibly choice based on your own judgment.
This is also the reason why Pang Tong did not say anything before Zhu Ling set off.
The Cao army, who tried to intercept the cavalry, paid a heavy price. In just half a day, many corpses were floating on the water surface of the river, basically all of which were Cao's soldiers.
Despite this, the generals of the Cao army were still ordering the Cao army to stop the attack of the Cavalry at all costs.
This "at all costs" order did make the Cao army "stop" the counterattack of the Cavalry on Tongguan Sakura and the water surface, but it did pay a huge price. When the Cao army thought that the Cavalry's attacks on land and on water were temporarily blocked by fire and flesh, Zhu Ling and his soldiers selected a target.
In fact, Zhu Ling is not very satisfied with this goal, but he has no time left.
As the counterattack of the abduction of Tongguan Sakura and the water surface stopped, the Cao army would inevitably withdraw its attention from the front line, and then Zhu Ling would be in greater danger of exposure...
Sometimes, human instincts are very strong. Since the birth of humans, they have inherited the alertness of the animal series, avoid disasters and seek vitality. Zhu Ling's instinct is good. There is no obvious hoarding tents in the place he chose, but some baggage trucks and some soldiers guarding the surrounding area.
After a long battle, Cao's army had consumed a large amount of supplies.
These baggage trucks were obviously transported from Shandong in the later period.
Although Zhu Ling didn't know what was placed in the baggage trucks, he felt that since he had to arrange special personnel to guard the goods under such a battle situation, it must be some good things.
With the order of Zhu Ling, his soldiers took action together, and placed the rockets he carried on the ground, aiming at the area determined by Zhu Ling.
Soon, the rocket rose into the air, flew through the sky roaring, and then plunged into the Cao army's baggage truck area in the distance...
When the rockets soared into the air, Cao's soldiers pointed and shouted at the flying rockets, but these late warnings could not change the direction of the rockets.
The Rocket grinned, laughed happily, with a long breath of fireworks, and then landed on the ground with a bang.
The first generation of rockets developed by Zhu Ling were subsequently guided by Pang Tong and assisted with the production with Ma Jun's subordinates. Based on the original one-in-one of the ten, it was greatly strengthened.
At least one or two out of ten now...
Before, Zhu Ling had a verbal hit, but now he is a real hit.
The Cavalry Army successfully counterattacked. Although the fire has cut off the roads on land and water, the Cavalry Army cannot rush along the road to Cao's camp in large numbers, but in fact this is already a huge failure. As long as you have a little brain, you will know that if you are suppressed by the other party, the Cao army will definitely be unable to hold on.
First, Cao's army in the Hedong area retreated step by step. Now, the lower city of Tongguan is not only lost, but the floating bridge on the river is also trapped in a raging fire. This makes the Cao army soldiers feel that all their efforts and efforts seem to be futile.
"boom!"
The rocket exploded on the ground.
The stars are scattered with flames!
"boom!!"
A louder sound broke out!
It seemed that the entire ground was trembling!
The trees were shaking, the sand was shaking, and a huge cloud of dust rose into the sky!
Zhu Ling couldn't help but look back and stood there for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Haha, it's time! Let's go quickly, let's go quickly! We seem to have poked a big shot!"
...
...
Zhongtiao Mountain, the path leading to Boshan.
I have always been lying on the ridge, with some branches and grass leaves tied to the top of my head and shoulders.
If it doesn't move, it looks like a bush at first glance.
Moving in the mountains, in this era, there is no navigation, no map, and no mature route. If you walk in the wrong way at the fork, you may be trapped in the mountains forever...
Even in later generations, donkeys who lack equipment or luck died in the wild mountains and forests because they were lost.
Moreover, the time we had agreed with Xu Chu and the others was only three days, so we were not allowed to climb slowly. We could only keep rushing through the forest and stream. It was so difficult to get along the way.
I have always been working hard along the way!
Fight your own life!
Because forever, he is really only left with his own life to fight...
He did have made merits before, and the General of the Cavalry would not deliberately make things difficult for his identity, erase or reduce it, but...
Not enough!
If he had forgotten everything in a remote county and county with the money and new identity for exchange for these merits and spent his life in a small county town, then the merits he had accumulated before were generally enough, but if he wanted to re-establish the lintel, then his previous merits would be far from enough.
Everyone has their own way of life.
Some people are born on a flat road and can do whatever they want, but some people are born on a mountain that can only climb mountains, and one mountain is higher than the other!
I always thought that when he was young, he had used up all his good luck and had all walked the flat road. Now all that is left is to climb mountains, keep climbing mountains, or climb to the next peak, or fall to death in the mountain stream...
But I never expected that the desperate ruthlessness he showed won the recognition of the soldiers of the cavalry who came with him!
Because the ordinary soldiers of the Cavalry Army are also fighting desperately!
In the feudal dynasty, if ordinary children from ordinary families want to climb higher and not work hard, what can they fight? First, there is no connection, second, no wealth, third, next door Lao Wang said that he would have a small goal first...
The more I worked hard, the more I became integrated into the Cavalry.
Ordinary soldiers always laugh when they see it, and even some wild fruit herbs picked on the road will be divided into one.
So this is, "Does are different and do not plan for each other"!
People who were walking slowly on the smooth road felt beautiful mountains and rivers and handsome rivers. Then they said strangely to those who were climbing the mountain, why don’t you rent out the free vehicles at home?
He was always a person walking on a smooth road, but when he suddenly found that his road was broken and he started climbing the mountain, he realized that only by climbing high can he see far away. Only by climbing up the mountain can he tell others that I have conquered this mountain and this place!
I have always carefully observed Suoyang Pass not far away.
Because Yusaka Road has long been replaced by the better access to Tandao and Pusakajin, this road is usually small and there were not much repairs in Hedong back then, so it naturally seems a bit dilapidated.
Cao's army stationed seven or eight hundred people here, and the soldiers were lazy...
I have always slowly retreated from the ridge, "Look for a place to rest... We advanced at sunset and attacked in the middle of the night!"
At sunset, the light in the mountains gradually dimmed. The three hundred elite soldiers who had climbed in the mountains for three days quietly headed towards Suoyang Pass under their leadership.
...
...
Cao Zhang threw his pocket directly to the ground, his eyes spitting fire, "What are you saying?! Meteors from the sky?! Do you know what you are saying?!"
The military academy on the ground was trembling, not daring to look up at Cao Zhang, and at the same time, he didn't dare to say anything, but just kowtowed.
"Push this chaotic army and behead you!"
Cao Zhang shouted loudly.
Cao Zhang was very angry.
"A meteor falls into the camp at night, and clouds fall like bad mountains on the day, and fall when they are in the camp, and they scatter without the ground ruler. All officials and soldiers are tired of being buried." What is this?
Damn it, I dare to say it is a "meteor"!
Your whole family is "meteor"!
If this is true, then now, will they become the "Wang Mang Army"?!
Several personal guards rushed up and dragged the unlucky military academy away.
Liu Fu looked at the military academy with pale face and still gritting her teeth, shook her head and said nothing.
A fool, just die.
With a knife and axe in hand, beg for mercy if you should, and quickly talk about the contributions you have done in the past few years. It is best to have some relationship with that general, and then maybe you have a chance to survive...
He gritted his teeth and said nothing. He looked brave, but in fact he was very stupid. Not everyone could enjoy the treatment of "retaining people under the knife". For the sake of an unknown military academy, Liu Fu did not have these leisure time.
The more important question now is how to deal with the current bad situation!
The turbulent oil trap in Tongguan Sakado was destroyed.
Most of the floating bridge was burned down. Even if the soldiers and soldiers tried their best to repair it, what will happen to the next time the cavalry navy will come again?
And the back camp...
Liu Fu doesn't believe it. Even Liu Xiu's meteor, Liu Fu doesn't believe it, but he will never tell others not to believe it.
Liu Fu believes that the so-called meteors are actually bad weather, such as storms, and extreme situations where you can't see your fingers, so that Liu Xiu can lead a small number of men to rush straight to the middle formation of Wang Mang's army and will not be sniped by other Wang Mang's army.
But from another perspective, it is indeed fortunate that Liu Xiu can appear in such a battlefield at a critical moment...
So has the current "luck" moved to Guanzhong again?
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, this great Han fortune was the last Han Dynasty, Chang'an for two hundred years, and now this Han Dynasty, Luoyang for two hundred years. In this way, it seems...
『Military advisor...Military advisor?!』
Cao Zhang's shouting made Liu Fu come to his senses, "Ah, General, what's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" Cao Zhang was so angry that he came, but when facing Liu Fu, he could not shout and kill like he was an ordinary military academy. He could only suppress his temper, "Military advisor, what should we do now?"
What should I do?
It is indeed necessary to think carefully.
Liu Fu nodded, "And Rong Fu plans one or two."
The battlefield gradually became quiet.
The fire on Tongguan Sakura Road is still burning, and no one can come before it is extinguished.
Although Cao's army still had some ships that could send naval troops to attack the Guanzhong naval troops against the current, since the floating bridge had been destroyed, the only way to connect between Zhongtiaoshan Camp and Tongguan Camp was left with ferry ships. If these ships were damaged in the river, they would be completely cut off. Therefore, there was no practical point in attacking the Guanzhong naval troops on the water surface, so Cao's army stopped fighting and began to clean up the battlefield, recovered a little bit of arrows and stone bombs, and prepared to face a more difficult battle.
The Guanzhong navy of the cavalry also redirected to the Tongguan Ferry, gathered with Tongguan troops to deal with the wreckage of the battlefield and transported the captives of the surrendered army of Cao's army. By the way, the traps originally laid by the Cao army were cleared, and the fortifications that were originally defensive to the Shangcheng of Tongguan were now adjusted toward the Cao army's camp.
The battlefield has temporarily quieted down, but everyone knows that this kind of quietness is temporary...
