The east wind blows, the war drums beat. Who is the revolutionary patriots afraid of whom?
It was precisely because of the change in Liu Ming's combat goals that the battle to wipe out Cao Cao was characterized as a training battle for training new recruits. These generals under Liu Ming were also particularly motivated.
Originally, things were like this. Without the huge pressure on the outcome of the war, who wouldn’t be interested in performing well? Who wouldn’t be interested in showing off his talents in front of Liu Ming and attracting Liu Ming’s attention
, reuse?
Especially after the army was assembled, in order to cultivate talents and promote new people, Zhang Liao was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this training. Guan Hai was the pioneer general this time, Liu Ming, Guo Jia, Zhang Fei and others were just following the army to senate.
Everything was led by Zhang Liao and a group of newly promoted generals to fight. Can these newly promoted generals, tooth generals, lieutenants, etc. not be excited?
Unfortunately, due to the impeccable defense of Liu Ming's crossing the river troops, Zhang He did not send troops to harass the battle. After Liu Ming's troops crossing the river, Guan Hai tried to confront the enemy, but did not cause Zhang He to counterattack. Zhang He just shrank.
In the camp, be prepared for defense.
Zhang He's correct and rogue method even admired Zhang Liao and others, and made the generals who were determined to make achievements resentful.
As the commander of this battle, Zhang Liao had already known in the previous meeting that time was urgent. Zhang He could afford time, but his army would definitely not. If Zhang He's reinforcements came, then this
Even if the training battle is over, my army can only retreat as planned, and my performance can only be considered a mediocre talent. This is something I absolutely cannot tolerate!
Zhang Liao, who had made a secret decision, had Zhang He dared not respond, so he should take the initiative to attack.
However, out of caution, Zhang Liao was ready to send some troops to test Zhang He's defense deployment and Zhang He's counterattack ability.
With the order of Zhang Liao, the first batch of 10,000 shield soldiers, led by the side general Sun Jian, rushed forward with great momentum, intending to break through Zhang He's camp in one fell swoop.
Sun Jian and these soldiers were very powerful, but Zhang He's defense deployment was indeed not weak. I think that when Cao Cao appointed Zhang He to station Guandu, he was determined to guard against Liu Ming. The strength of Liu Ming's army was so powerful that Cao Cao was another one.
The army, how could he be stingy about the military supplies needed by the troops stationed in Guandu? Therefore, now Zhang He is prepared very well, whether it is crossbow arrows, carved feathers, gray bottles, or rolling wood.
.
Now that he occupied the small camp in Guandu Road, under Zhang He's belief that he was determined to defend himself, it was like an iron barrel. The crossbow arrows and carved feathers in the sky were shot out endlessly. At the same time, countless remembered gray bottles were there from time to time.
The soldiers led by Sun Jian exploded. Countless strands of lime powder gathered into a white smoke, making it difficult for the sword and shield soldiers passing through it to open their eyes and breathe.
In such a harsh environment, even if the sword and shield soldiers have strong ability to defend against bows and arrows, they inevitably began to suffer a large number of casualties. However, the mission of these soldiers was also excellently completed, the defense distribution of Zhang He's camp and Zhang He's large camp
The strength of the battalion's counterattack has also been discovered.
With Zhang Liao's order again, Sun Jian led the 10,000 sword and shield soldiers to retreat. No! Now it can't be said to be 10,000. More than a thousand soldiers died gloriously, and Sun Jian brought them back
Among those who were injured, there was no one.
Seeing all this, Liu Ming just frowned and said nothing. After all, Liu Ming has experienced a lot of bloody battles in this era. His heart has been a little hardened. At this time, Liu Ming had already thoroughly understood it.
The old political commissar once said: A qualified commander is a cold-blooded and ruthless commander. In the eyes of a qualified commander, war is just a game of chess. All combat units can only be
Chess pieces. Only by getting rid of the feelings of the pieces and transcending beyond the board can you win one after another and keep more of the lives of the pieces. And the feelings for the pieces can only be after the war.
At this time, Zhang Liao did not notice Liu Ming's expression. At this time, Zhang Liao's whole mind was focused on how to win the war.
Zhang Liao fully understood the tenacious defensive ability of Zhang He's camp through Sun Jian's attack just now. Zhang Liao understood: If an army was sent to attack forcibly, even if Zhang He's camp could be attacked, the casualties of the army would be certain.
Not small. In that case, it would not be a training exercise, but a meaningless battle. Then I would not get any credit. Moreover, Zhang He's wall is very strong and in a short time
It is impossible to break through easily. Under the attack of dense rain of arrows, the troops must be extremely injured. Moreover, Zhang He's camp occupied the entire road and could not go around from both sides, thus forming an encirclement attack on Zhang He's camp. In this way,
It was really a delusion to rely solely on a hundred thousand troops to attack Zhang He's camp.
However, Zhang Liao's military talent was not simple. Zhang Liao immediately thought of: At that time, the lord Liu Mingcai made a mountain of soil, and there were dense stone chariots and crossbowmen, and beautifully completed the operation of defeating the more with fewer and annihilated Yuan Shao's army. Now, although his own
He had the advantage of military strength, but he could still use the prescription to catch medicine in this way and perfectly complete the operation to break through Zhang He's camp.
With Zhang Liao's order again, except for the 30,000 troops standing at the front of the position, standing at the range of the bow and arrows of Zhang He's camp, they strictly prevented the sudden attack of Zhang He's troops. All the other soldiers were mobilized to transport mud and sand, and build mountains of soil.
During this period, Zhang He saw Liu Ming's army building a mountain of earth, and he slightly guessed Zhang Liao's strategic intention. He had organized troops to break through and harass him several times. But what Zhang Liao and the others were afraid of was that Zhang He would not come out to fight, since Zhang He sent his troops out.
How could Zhang Liao and the others miss it? In addition to letting Zhang He's troops also appreciate the power of Youzhou archers. Guan Hai and others also led their troops to directly kill the troops sent by Zhang He several times. One of them was Guan
Hai's troops chased him too quickly, and he almost followed Zhang He's defeated soldiers and killed him in Zhang He's camp, forcing Zhang He to cruelly close the gate of the camp and ordered the crossbowman to take the army led by Guan Hai, together with the remaining soldiers of his own troops outside the camp.
They shot and killed each other, which made Guan Hai return in vain.
In four days, fifteen earthen mountains, which were more than 20 meters long and more than 20 meters high, were piled up. Zhang Liao sent all the stone chariots and crossbowmen, and the gaps at the foot of the mountain were waiting for the infantry.
Zhang Liao's main cavalry hid behind the mountain and waited for Zhang Liao's orders to attack at any time.
Liu Ming, Guo Jia and others were very satisfied with Zhang He's arrangement this time. However, this was a great dissatisfaction with Zhang He who was standing under the earthen mountain and being attacked by bows and arrows and huge rocks.
The archers of Liu Ming's army can shoot condescendingly above the earthen mountain, and the range of the bow and arrow was greatly extended. Moreover, the lethality of the bow and arrow was greatly enhanced due to free fall. Even if you were hiding in the camp
The soldiers who are resting in the middle should always be careful that the crossbow arrows flying over penetrate the tent and shoot themselves. On the contrary, the archers of Zhang He's troops shot from bottom to top in the camp, and due to the range, they could not perform at all.
The power of the whole thing is the power to counterattack.
However, this is still good. After all, Zhang He's crossbowman launched a counterattack on Gaolu in the camp. Although he couldn't shoot, they had Gaolu to hide, and the damage was not great. And those stationed in the camp
On the wall of the village, soldiers who have no equipment to hide, as well as soldiers exposed to Liu Ming's archer's range, only need to always push a shielding rifle to avoid most of the damage. Although this is a bit harder,
That can save your life, right?
But the stone-firing cart on Liu Ming's Tushan is not so easy to talk about. The huge rock fell from high, and the weight is not comparable to that of a bow and arrow? Even if the strong high oar in Zhang He's camp is hit one or two, then it will be
They could only be scrapped. As for the soldiers who were holding the shackles, they were even more smashed.
However, this does not mean that Liu Ming's stone car has no shortcomings at all. At least the shooting accuracy of the stone car cannot be controlled. Liu Ming's manufacturing department has not yet made any breakthroughs. He can't always make any decisions.
How can you do whatever you want? However, although the accuracy of the stone car is not very good, the general orientation of the launch target of the stone car can still be controlled. Moreover, the accuracy is not enough, and the quantity is enough, you can't stand the number of stone carts. The blind cat is still
Can you encounter a dead mouse? What's more, this shining car controlled by a man?
Half a day! In just half a day, Zhang He's troops couldn't stand it anymore. The entire Zhang He's camp was almost broken by the huge rocks thrown by Liu Mingfa's stone car. Even the regulation of Zhang He's troops was hindered by the gravel under his feet.
Too flexible.
Zhang He had no choice but to give up the camp. After all, if Zhang He insisted on using Liu Mingde's stone car as a target, let alone whether he would upgrade Liu Mingde's stone car troops to sharpshooters because of this.
The dense damage will allow Zhang He's troops to finish all of them before tonight. Liu Mingde's army won the final victory without even having to shoot out the sword.
However, Xiao He is successful and Xiao He is defeated. Although Liu Ming's troops achieved great success, the spread of these gravels and wreckage hindered Liu Ming's army's pursuit of Zhang He's troops.
Of course, this did not affect Liu Ming, Zhang Liao and others' joy in the victory of the war.
Five days after the war started, Guandu, which was heavily guarded, was taken down, and from then on, he could penetrate and attack Cao Cao's Sili and other places. At the same time, he could also use the ability of cavalry to run thousands of miles to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou and other places. He could also attack with all his strength.
Taking Xu Du and thus dismantling the central government that Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for. What a credit? How important is this? Relatively speaking, Zhang He's homeless and defeated soldiers are not worth mentioning.
After Zhang He retreated, Zhang Liao first sent a large number of stingers to inquire about the military situation in the front, and ordered the smartest spies to disguise themselves and sneak in, inquire about the latest battle situations of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's battles in order to know themselves and their opponents. Later, Zhang Liao ordered the infantry to advance,
Completely destroy the camp left by Zhang He, clear out the gravel, and sort out the road for the cavalry troops behind. The rest returned to the camp to rest and prepare to attack Xudu.
Assaulting Xu Du was originally Liu Ming's planned plan for this expedition. This was not because of any other special intention. It was just that Sili was too desolate at this time. There was really no fuel to make.
Originally, Sili, the center of the Han culture, was quite rich. However, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the million people in Luoyang were lucky to be accepted by Liu Ming. Subsequently, various princes fought in the Sili area and Dong Zhuo retreated.
After Chang'an, he continued to send his subordinates to plunder. Now this Sili is really desolate. In such a large prefecture and county, the total population is not as large as tens of thousands. Those who farm are far from being a soldier.
This is why Mr. Guo and Bai Rao gathered more than 300,000 thieves in Sili, but they were ultimately unable to become the climate.
Even if Liu Ming occupied the entire territory of Sili, this actually did not cause much harm to Cao Cao. However, if Liu Ming had developed Sili after occupying Sili, Liu Ming would have to go to Sili to Sili.
Liu Ming still thinks that the population density of Youzhou is not high enough. Now that people are moving out, they are still Sili, who may become a place of war at any time, which is absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, Sili is now large
For Liu Ming, there is no need to pay attention to the blank space. Just maintain the smooth progress of the forward route and attack Xudu, which is a good place to gain a good value.
The next day, Liu Ming's army had already rested and moved forward in high spirits. The journey was safe and marched for more than 60 miles. When the camp was set up in the evening, a horse came to report: "Report to General, there are Cao Cao's army twenty miles ahead.
There were many flags inside the camp. Outside the camp, there were high alert. For a moment, there were still many Cao troops stationed here. The rest of the explorers were still seeking out the news. The villain was ordered to come back first to report the enemy's situation."
After the horse was explored, Zhang Fei said loudly: "Brother, that Cao army must be Cao Cao's reinforcements. Now Wen Yuan has become more accustomed to being a general. This Cao army can be handed over to Lao Zhang to beating teeth. At most, Lao Zhang
Isn’t it okay to make less moves and let my children practice more?"
Although what Zhang Fei said makes sense, and Zhang Fei's image was also pitiful at this time. However, after Liu Ming and Guo Jia looked at each other, they both saw the doubts in each other's heart. Cao Cao's army camped here, away from Guandu
The camp only took more than one day to go, but Zhang He received the letter six days ago. If this Cao army had been raiding thousands of miles and arrived at this time, it was just a coincidence. But where in the world
There are so many coincidences? What if it wasn't a coincidence? This army is definitely not simple!
