Chapter 3483: The same skill is used again

Chapter 3482: The same skill is used again

Cao Cao fought against the front, and Cao Hong was naturally the one who detoured with his soldiers.

As the most important and trusted general under Cao Cao, Cao Hong has been known for his bravery and good at fighting, loyalty and courage since he established his position as a general. Therefore, even if Cao Hong has one or another, and even has such a problem, and is even greedy for money, Cao Pi is a little disgusted, he still cannot deny Cao Hong's contribution to the Cao family's foundation.

It’s not that Cao Hong was not afraid of death, and his military strategy might not be able to surpass other contemporary generals. However, as the number one thug under Cao Cao, even if he was injured and killed like a blood gourd, he would still not shake his loyalty to Cao Cao.

Such a general naturally reassures Cao Cao and makes other military academies convinced him.

After Cao Zhang and Liu Fu retreated, Cao Hong cooperated with Cao Cao to become the mainstay of Cao's army's resistance to the attack of the Cavalry.

From the first moment he was attacked by the Cavalry Army, Cao Hong took his soldiers and fought with Zhu Ling and Ma Yue, and resisted step by step until now. One position was captured by the Cavalry Army, and he retreated to the next position to resist.

All day long, although Zhu Ling and Ma Yue's attack was very hard, they had Cao Hong's support and even went to the front line to fight, which made the Cao army soldiers fight hard on every position.

It is precisely because of the existence of Cao Hong that the attack momentum of the Cavalry Army was that even with Zhu Ling and Ma Yue repeatedly advanced, it still had a very difficult battle. Every step forward would cost a bleeding price.

The fierce battle reached such a point, not to mention that Cao Hong had any injuries on his body, even if he was not injured, not everyone could withstand such a high-intensity battle. Cao Hong is now killing with a broken knife and his armor, and his throat is already broken. Now every time he yells a military order, he feels like a knife is broken inside his throat.

However, Cao's army has an "advantage", or rather, a "advantage" under helplessness, that is, Cao's army is tired of people, while the cavalry army is tired of horses.

People are more resistant to fatigue than cows and horses!

This is why ancient feudal dynasties liked to raise more slaves and use less cattle and horses.

Cattle and horses are more delicate than people.

There is anything on the battlefield.

In addition to the corpse, perhaps a broken blade can force a war horse to exit the battle sequence, but a person is cut by a knife and can still fight.

Didn’t Cao Hong also be cut several times, with injuries on his body still oozing blood, but he still took out his last power and resisted the attack of the Cavalry again and again.

The endurance of the cavalry horses of the Cavalry Army is obviously not as good as that of human beings. After all, the previous battles of the cavalry army were famous for their speed and courage, and they did not win with lasting battles. On the contrary, the soldiers of the Cao army were more experienced in how to preserve and restore the positional battles between the two armies as much as possible in the flesh-and-blood grinding wheels.

Whether it was conquering the Western Qiang or attacking the Western Regions, the Cavalry Army was as fast as the wind and as fierce as fire, as wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Few had experienced long battles. The soldiers led by Cao Cao and Cao Hong were all old soldiers who survived the battle with the Second Yuan. With so many battles between the princes of the Central Plains, the Cao army was once at a disadvantage, but they still persisted. The resilience of these elite Cao army soldiers has been trained many times in these battles, and is much stronger in terms of perseverance than the Cavalry and Cavalry troops fighting in the northwest.

Of course, the only ones Cao Cao and Cao Hong were the core troops of the Cao army, who led these veterans.

Veterans will eventually grow old, and the comparison of combat effectiveness between the two sides will be predicted to be more and more disparate in the future. However, now, Cao Hong has indeed blocked the flank attack of the Cavalry Army. In such a desperate situation, Cao's Qingzhou soldiers were the soldiers and horses tempered by the Han Dynasty's current Central Plains field troops, and finally exerted bloody anger. Zhu Ling's horse fought fiercely for one day during the day, but only repelled Cao Hong step by step, but could not completely defeat him.

The lines of the fronts resisted until they finally gave up. Each fortification had to wait until they were captured by the Cavalry Army before retreating. During the day, they were somewhat afraid of the long-range weapons of the Cavalry Army and did not dare to go beyond the defense system to fight. At night, because the long-range shooting efficiency of both sides decreased, the Cao army even sent a team to attack Ma Yue Zhu Ling's troops in reverse!

The two sides fought in the night, and the shouts of killing shook the world, as if the stars in the sky were shaken by the sound of fighting.

The military academy of Cao Cao and other generals knew that this battle was an opportunity for the morale of both sides to rise and fall. If they could take advantage of the opportunity of the sorrow of the soldiers to support this attack of the Cavalry, then there would be a glimmer of hope in the future. If they could not survive, they would be the collapse of freedom.

Similarly, Pang Tong, Zhang Liao, Ma Yue, Zhu Ling and others also knew that the Cao army's sorrowful state could not last long. If this time it could defeat the Cao army's front, then the Cao army would no longer have the ability to fight on a large scale. In the future, as long as Fei Qian brought the soldiers from Hedong to the Central Plains, it would be like a rushing river and unstoppable!

Both sides have reasons and persistence to win, so the fight is even more tragic.

The smell of blood filled the entire battlefield, and everything around it was shrouded in the deafening sound of the golden drums shouting to kill.

Another assault by the Hussar Cavalry was repelled.

Cao Hong's armor was covered with flesh and blood. He skipped past him regardless of the feather arrows, and jumped onto a somewhat crooked horse looking around, looking at the battlefield that seemed to have become the Shura Hell.

The Hussars and horses along the flanks of the earthen plateau were like a long snake, rolling and stretching their bodies, winding towards the Cao army, as if endless!

Cao Hong took a deep breath, sat down immediately after refusing to throw the sword that had cut out large and small gaps in his hand aside, and said to the guard: "Come on the knife!"

The guard delivered his sword. Cao Hong shook his hand and wrapped the sword back in his hand, saying, "Now the Hussars see my flag here, knowing that I am here... What do you think they will do next?"

The guard also found a sword from the ground that he had lost. He looked at the gap in the knife under the fire. It was still useable. "That's all, I must have sent a large group of people to rush here!"

『Yes!』 Cao Hong laughed, but he didn't know that it was the wound there, and turned into an inhalation.『If they want to kill here, they will inevitably ignore it! This is our opportunity!』

Cao Hong jumped off the verge, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "My sons! The cavalry brigade is coming! As long as I can hold on, one is counted as one, it will be rewarded ten thousand gold! A cavalry armored soldier's head, plus ten thousand gold! I will give it to you all if I don't take any money for me! The reward is not enough. Even if I sell my fortune, I will make up for you!"

When Cao's soldiers guarding along the Jima Trench heard this, they made some noises, which was to give Cao Hong some face.

Cao Hong was a little embarrassed.

An old man from Qingzhou leaned against the trench and said to Cao Hong: "General Cao! If you don't retreat, brothers will not retreat! Rewards, let's talk about it after you survive! We came from Shandong and felt that fighting was a bit cowardly all the way! I just counted that I was killing today!"

Cao Hong was not annoyed by the old soldier, but instead shook his sword at the old soldier, "Good man! Then, who will kill more than today's battle!"

These Qingzhou soldiers may have left their hometowns and started to fight with Cao Cao everywhere, and there was only one thing left in their lives, fighting.

Among the Qingzhou soldiers, there were no generals.

In other words, there are no generals who came out of the Qingzhou soldiers themselves.

They have no spokesperson.

None!

This was of course Cao Cao intended it.

What? The surname Zang? That was the Taishan soldiers. Moreover, Zang Ba and others distrust Cao Cao was caused by Cao Cao's attitude towards the Qingzhou soldiers and management methods.

Cao Cao only needed Qingzhou soldiers as war machines and fierce soldiers on the battlefield, but he did not want Qingzhou soldiers to have their own ideas. Therefore, no middle-level military academy was produced among the Qingzhou soldiers. All Qingzhou soldiers were directly led by Cao Cao and several generals whom Cao Cao trusted the most.

Under such circumstances, the military discipline of Qingzhou soldiers will naturally not be good.

The soldiers in Qingzhou have no tomorrow, they only have today.

Killing people alive and lying down when they die is that simple.

As for the former commanders of the Qingzhou army, they were all captured and killed by Cao Cao's design.

Using the word "金" shows Cao Cao's attitude towards the Qingzhou soldiers' original military academy leader.

In addition, Cao Cao not only controlled the soldiers in Qingzhou, but also controlled the families of these soldiers in Qingzhou. Most of the soldiers in the military farm were the families of Qingzhou soldiers. So in a sense, these soldiers in Qingzhou were equivalent to Cao Cao's own private soldiers.

After Cao Cao died, Cao Pi's ability was just like that, so the Qingzhou soldiers would definitely not be able to survive. Neither the gentry in Jizhou or the powerful in Yuzhou would allow Cao Pi to have these soldiers like Cao Cao again, so it became inevitable that the chaos and dispersion would disappear under the waves of history.

Cao Cao is still there, and the core of the Qingzhou soldiers is still stable. These Qingzhou veterans who have regarded themselves as dead will not have a high morale, but will not collapse to the point where they cannot be cured.

Cao Hong knew that the Qingzhou soldiers were like this, so he saw that these soldiers had not had much morale torn apart, so he got off the trench and sat in the front line, asking the guards to bandage his wounds.

Some Cao army soldiers took advantage of the time before the Hussars came up and took advantage of the time to fill in the defense of maintenance and fortifications. Anyway, they could make up as much as they could.

Cao Hong saw the soldiers busy, and then he felt that there was no pain in his body. He had obvious injuries on his body, and there were no more internal injuries. The two layers of armor on his body were already a little broken, and even the layer of armor inside was damaged.

Cao Hong really wanted to lie down and rest, but now he almost supports the entire wing core of the Qingzhou Soldier Front. He can sit down and rest, but he must not lie down. So he could only grab a guard's shoulder, then endure the pain, and let the guard bandage him the wound tighter.

No matter what, Cao's army fought well in this battle.

Cao Cao's command was naturally indescribable. He mobilized soldiers layer by layer and resisted step by step, consuming the offensive of the Cavalry Army. Even under Zhang Liao's attack, he maintained his front line. During the day, he was limited by the cavalry's cavalry's rapid counterattack ability and did not dare to use soldiers to intersperse and invade. Now at night, he began to send soldiers to throw caltrops everywhere and tied a tripping rope, which made the Cavalry Army accidentally fall into the trap, and also relieved some pressure on the front battlefield.

The latest chapter of this novel is being released first, please go and read it!

Scheduling in the last battle is a test of the general's skills. Cao Cao is still very strong in this regard. Not only does he maintain a positive resistance, he will also pay attention to the changes in Cao Hong's place, and occasionally sends live forces to supplement Cao Hong's flanks.

This allowed Cao's army's front to remain until now, and Cao Hong had the opportunity to adjust and rest during the battle.

Cao Hong looked back at the central army where Cao Cao was. Seeing Cao Cao's big flag still standing quietly in the fire, he felt a little relieved. Cao Hong vaguely guessed that Cao Cao was approaching the central army near the river to lure the navy of the cavalry army to attack him, but there were still concerns.

Although the Cavalry Navy only had a few tower ships and more than ten fighting ships, it poses too great a threat to Cao Cao and others. From Tongguan to Shaanxi and Tianjin, the Cavalry Navy could not only destroy their floating bridges and cut off the connection between the north and south of the rivers, but also cross their defense lines on the land and transport soldiers directly to their rear, forming a multi-sided surround!

Therefore, if you want to break the deadlock and regain some initiative on the battlefield, you must first defeat the naval forces of the Cavalry Army!

This is similar to Liu Fu's previous plan, but the trap designed by Liu Fu is not as attractive as Cao Cao, and the soldiers arranged are not sharp enough, and they are not able to cause much damage to the Cavalry Navy. Instead, they are defeated by the Cavalry Navy with a cannon and crossbow shot...

Now Cao Cao's front has resisted Zhang Liao, Cao Hong has resisted Zhu Ling and Ma Yue, so if the Cavalry Army wants to break the deadlock, they will have to send out the naval army!

...

...

Pang Tong looked at the battlefield in the distance and frowned deeply.

The tenacity shown by Cao's army at the moment surprised Pang Tong.

This war of attrition is obviously not a war model that Fei Qian is willing to accept, but why is it now like this?

There was a vague answer in Pang Tong's mind...

They fought too fast!

Fast is good, but the disadvantages of fast are now being revealed.

Whether it is a grenade, a rocket, or a musket, it is a consumable.

Consumables mean that once you have dried this cup, there may be no next cup.

From Guanzhong to Tongguan, a transfer order will be issued. The day will arrive and the day will be transported to Tongguan within three days at the latest. You can use manpower and horsepower to transport it directly to Tongguan, which is to add another day.

But after leaving Tongguan, this route was lengthened...

The supplements from the rear cannot keep up with the consumption of fierce battles ahead.

These are what Cao Cao had expected before?

From daytime to night, no matter how high the morale of the soldiers of the Cavalry Army is, they cannot avoid fatigue.

After all, people are not made by iron. Even if they are made by iron, they need to use some oil from time to time, right?

Moreover, this kind of life-and-death battle on the battlefield consumes people's energy and physical strength almost several times that of training, or even ten times more. Although the cavalry's dry food and drinking water and the doctors are well equipped to treat them, the returning soldiers can receive more basic care and guarantee, but the energy and physical energy consumption cannot be recovered by drinking two sips of water or eating a piece of cake...

Some of the retreating Hussars sat on the ground and ate two sips of cake and drank a little water before falling asleep. They couldn't wake up no matter how much they called.

Although Pang Tong did not understand what the sequelae of adrenaline is, he also knew that the fatigue accumulated by the Cavalry Army in succession battles has gradually emerged.

Starting from the attack on the Tongguan camp, the cavalry broke through several layers of defense in several days, then broke through the township and chased Cao Zhang and Liu Fu again, until they hit Cao Cao's troops head-on, the cavalry army had not adjusted and rested well for a long time.

This is not good...

Pang Tong also knew this, but before he bumped into Cao Cao, everyone felt that "should" and "can" just kill all the way and kill directly to the Central Plains!

Pang Tong is not Fei Qian.

He was able to control and command these generals not because Pang Tong's fat chin was so charming, but because Pang Tong was authorized by Fei Qian. These generals actually obeyed the General Fei Qian!

So if these generals will execute 100% of what Fei Qian said or the orders issued by them, no matter whether they can understand or not, then Pang Tong will understand them in place of Fei Qian, so there will be no problem if they can understand them. If they cannot understand, they will probably feel 100% dissatisfied in their hearts...

Pang Tong originally thought that this kind of fatigue problem would only be more obvious after the attack and defense surfaces were expanded in the Heluo area, and then the adjustments and arrangements for these generals were made, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao would detonate it in advance here.

The Cavalry Army was good at attacking, but the Cao army was also good at defending!

As the attacking side, the Cavalry Army does have the advantage of concentrating its forces for assault, but for the Cao Army, their defensive ability was also trained in the Central Plains flesh and blood millstone!

Especially these old soldiers in Qingzhou!

These Qingzhou soldiers have poor discipline and are less trained than those of the cavalry soldiers. However, there is a little bit similar to those of the cavalry soldiers. Even these Qingzhou soldiers are not afraid of death!

Dare to fight! Dare to die!

Zhang Liao retreated. Even the brave general like Zhang Liao was still breathing heavily, holding the food sent by the guards, and while eating it, he said vaguely: "Let the lords... brothers are tired... it is difficult to break through the front..."

Pang Tong nodded, then pointed at Cao Cao's central position, "The old thief array is leaning against the river... This is a flaw, but... I suspect it is also a trap...

Zhang Liao looked in the direction of Pang Tong's finger, "The old thief cunning... The last time they wanted to attack our navy, but failed. Now they have to use the same trick again?"

While the two were discussing, a messenger suddenly came in a hurry.
