Chapter 3339 Danger Is Not yet Apparent

Chapter 3338 The danger is not apparent

In the camp of Cao Jun, on a certain plain camp.

He always pulled Bao Zhong's arm tightly, "You say it!" Did your confidants tell the former generals of the Hussars about the catapults here? ! Is there any? ! 』

Bao Zhong was stunned, then angry, "How could I know?" ! 』

"That means you didn't explain it specifically, right?" ! ” He said in a deep voice, “You are just looking out for you and your children, right? ! 』

Bao Zhong shook his arm angrily, "How outrageous!" You...do you know that if you are discovered...you will die! 』

Changchun snorted coldly and did not continue to pull forward. Instead, he took a step back and said, "Death?" I've had this realization for a long time... It's just that you'd better pray that the general of the hussar army will not die now! Otherwise, hum..."

"What do you mean? ” Bao Zhong asked.

He never answered.

Obviously, Bao Zhong asked his confidants to pretend to be dead to find the Hussars. The main purpose was not to remind the Hussars of any traps or arrangements in Cao Jun’s camp, but rather to determine the original identity and the Hussars. Negotiate some conditions, the most important thing is how to skillfully send your child to Chang'an Medical Center for treatment...

As for other matters, Bao Zhong obviously won't explain them specifically. If he can ask about the specific layout of the camp, Bao Zhong's confidants must remember it, and Xu Chu must be able to ask.

Now it seems obvious that Xu Chu did not know that Cao Jun had arranged an array of trebuchets behind the wall of the camp...

Bao Zhong was still a little angry at first, but he soon figured out the key issue, and then cold sweat rolled down his head!

From Bao Zhong's point of view, the question is whether the Hussars are trustworthy and whether they can entrust their wealth, including the lives of their children, to the question. Therefore, both Bao Zhong and Bao Zhong's confidants will focus on this point, so regardless of Is it Bao Zhong or Bao Zhong's confidant? In fact, the more important thing is to ensure his own interests. As for how to remind the generals of the Hussar army, it is inevitable that they will have a chip-holding mentality to see how much the Hussar will give, and then I can talk as much as I want, but I can’t tell you everything.

On the other hand, from the Hussar's point of view, even if a correct light mirror contact signal was sent, the authenticity is still doubtful. After all, what if a spy on one's side rebels? Are Bao Zhong's henchmen just trying to fake surrender? Therefore, even if Bao Zhong's confidants give repeated assurances, they will remain cautious.

As a result, the current differences in positions between the two parties and the opacity of information have caused communication to be unsmooth.

A more serious question is, once the former general of the Hussars was injured or killed at this time, would it be thought that Bao Zhonglai and others deliberately gave Xu Chu false information to lure Xu Chu into being fooled? !

If this is really considered to be the case, then when the time comes...

That's why he was always so angry, and after Bao Zhong figured it out, he was covered in cold sweat!

"What if things don't go well...what should I do?" Bao Zhong looked at the front line, then turned to look at the past, his eyes were a little weak, but the shadow was also a little fierce, "You say, what should we do now?" 』

Bao Zhong's hand once again grasped the handle of the knife.

Changchun glanced at Bao Zhong and exhaled, "What else can I do?" Do nothing, just watch. Let’s see if this general of the hussar army has enough luck... I have heard that the Lord of the World always has some extraordinary luck... Not only himself, but he can also share the wealth with some of his subordinates..."

Bao Zhong's hand gradually relaxed, "Really?" Just look at this? 』

"What else can we do?" ” I always asked.

Bao Zhong chuckled, "I thought you would encourage me to take action now..."

"snort. ” He glanced at the high platform where Cao’s army was standing, and said, “I’m not that stupid...”

I never said the second half of the words in my stomach.

He was willing to be loyal to the Hussar General Fei Qian, but he did not say that he would be loyal to anyone under the Hussar.

Of course, there is another point that is also important.

Now is not the time to take action.

Cao Jun's camp was in good order.

If people gather in twos and threes to talk and talk, no matter how loud they are, or even have some physical conflicts, it will not attract too much attention. After all, it can be said that they are paying attention to the changes in the battle situation on the front line, and there will be disputes over differences of opinion. But if there are three or five people gathered together, More than ten people...

Do you really think that the leaders and guards on the central platform are all blind?

Therefore, the real opportunity to take action must be when the hussar army attacks in an all-out manner and Cao's army has no time to take care of him!

And now, although the general of the Hussars Army is facing danger, he and Bao Zhong and others could only watch, and even had to obey Cao's orders. When it was time to act and when it was time to pretend, they still had to do it. Pretending...

…

…

No one cares until danger comes.

Just like people who ride e-mules in later generations don’t like to wear helmets in summer...

If you run like this every day, isn’t there any problem?

But when danger comes, it's often too late to wear it.

The hussars and horses were chasing Cao Jun's cavalry, and not many people realized the danger was coming.

It is easy and satisfying for cavalry to chase infantry, but it is more difficult for cavalry to chase cavalry.

But the sense of accomplishment gained is double...

In the midst of pleasure, it is easiest for people to lose themselves.

Because Cao's army fled along the loess gullies, they were in a state of filing, so when the cavalry was chasing, they also formed a line involuntarily, not a surface!

Seeing that the Cao army camp was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers and horses inside the Cao army camp were blocked by Cao Hong and others, and they couldn't get out at all, the cavalry in front became excited, whistling, shouting, waving swords and guns, trying to follow Cao Hong and others and rush into the Cao army camp!

Using the fleeing soldiers to crash into the enemy's line is almost a skill that the cavalry is very good at.

So the cavalry didn't think much about it, and they thought that victory was in sight!

And it was a big victory!

However, danger often comes quietly at such moments.

On the battlefield, no matter how good the equipment is, how high the morale is, and how big the chance of victory is, as long as a piece of the iron nail of the horse iron palm falls off, it will lead to fatal consequences!

The soldiers of the cavalry are elite, right?

Xu Chu was cautious, right?

No matter how much initiative the Cavalry Army had taken on the battlefield before, he still had no intention of directly attacking Cao's camp, but this time, he was seduced by Cao Hong...

A thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole.

Zhuge was praised by later generations not because of his caution in a battle, but because he was cautious all his life!

He was not greedy for merit, and he was not reckless, even if there was an excellent opportunity and Wei Yan's repeated requests...

Although he did miss many opportunities, it was difficult for others to find any opportunities in Zhuge.

Xu Chu was not Zhuge Liang, and he paid the price for his carelessness.

When Xu Chu saw many small black spots suddenly appear in the sky, and then they quickly grew larger, he finally understood where the danger he had been feeling came from!

The attack did not come from the ground, nor from the soldiers of Cao's army, but from the sky!

『Disperse! 』

Xu Chu shouted anxiously.

If it were an ordinary soldier, most of them would be in a dazed state, and then look up at the rocks falling from the sky...

The worse ones would just cover their eyes and scream at most.

If the current cavalrymen really only rely on Xu Chu's orders, or must hear Xu Chu's orders before they can execute them, then the end must be heavy casualties!

The good news in the misfortune is that these cavalrymen are all elite.

So before Xu Chu's shouts spread, and even before Xu Chu issued an order, these soldiers instinctively dispersed the entire queue from bottom to top!

It is an instinct for war horses to follow the war horses in front.

This makes it easier for cavalry to fight without paying special attention to the movements of war horses in the queue, but it also makes the war horses like an invisible chain, and they will continue to run forward with the inertia of the front horse. If you want to break this chain, you must operate it manually...

Hmm, this seems to be similar to the principle of automatic driving?

But no matter what, the skilled riding skills of the Hussars made them make the most correct choice in the shortest time. They disrupted the original warhorse following chain, causing the original array that looked like a line to suddenly spread out!

In the sky, the god of death was screaming, and the Hussars on the ground were trying their best to avoid it!

The first stone fell!

"Pah!"

The stone hit the yellow earth, and then bounced violently from the ground, rolling and hitting a Hussar, smashing him and his horse to pieces!

Blood was flying all over the sky!

One after another, stones fell!

At this moment, the general and the soldiers stood under the same sickle of the god of death!

It's just that after the god of death harvested countless lives, there were always large and small gaps on the sickle...

Just like the tooth scissors in the hands of a barber, before the click, no one knows which hair will be cut off and which hair will be lucky enough to stay in the gap of the tooth scissors.

The hit rate of Cao's catapults was obviously not high, and many of them did not meet the range requirements, falling into the air in vain, and some even hit the heads of Cao's soldiers.

However, the damage to the cavalry was the greatest at the moment of the Battle of Anyi!

And they had no power to fight back!

Someone like Li Yuanba, who could open up mountains and open up land, or Gao Chong, who could use a gun to pick up a pulley, might be able to fight back against the stones falling from the sky, but after all, not everyone is Li Gao...

For a while, there were wails everywhere!

As a general of the front army, Xu Chu was naturally the target of most of Cao's catapults, but Xu Chu's unconscious behavior before made him lucky enough not to be in the range of Cao's first round of catapults.

Before, when Xu Chu felt something was wrong, he stood up on his horse and looked around...

Originally, Xu Chu did this not to avoid the attack, but to check where he felt the danger was. However, he did not expect that his action would affect the galloping of his warhorse and slightly reduce its speed.

Most horse racers will try to curl up on the horse's back when driving at high speed, on the one hand to reduce the windward surface, and on the other hand to reduce the burden on the horse. Xu Chu's action of observing the enemy situation made him lag behind a little!

As the saying goes, a slight difference can make a thousand miles difference. This slight deviation prevented Xu Chu from entering the area where Cao Jun's trebuchet launched the first intensive attack!

Of course, even if Xu Chu really entered the area where Cao Jun was intensively attacking, he might not actually be hit by stones.

Although it is ultimately a question of probability, the smaller the probability, the better. It's like someone who doesn't die by jumping off a building, but the vast majority of people who jump off a building die. So can it be said that the person who doesn't die by jumping off a building represents the majority of situations?

The stone fell and hit a place not far in front of Xu Chu.

Xu Chu instinctively tightened his horse and turned to avoid.

Some people jumped off their horses, which seemed to reduce the probability of being hit. But unfortunately, the man was hit by rocks as soon as he jumped off, but his horse was still running unscathed... …

Some people lay down on the spot and tried to hide somewhere, but the soldiers who were still running were alive, while those who stopped were crushed to death by half a flying horse...

Everything is chaotic, everything is no longer based on order, but is simply a choice of probability.

It was like countless twenty-sided dice fell in an instant. Those whose luck did not exceed the dice points all died in various ways, whether they were trying their best to avoid or running in a daze.

In just a short moment, the area that was intensively attacked by Cao Jun was a mess of flesh and blood!

And this doesn't mean the end of danger!

Xu Chu looked up and saw that the stones in the air were still falling...

Cao Jun's second round of attacks is coming!

…

…

In the camp of Cao Jun.

Cao Hong, who rushed into the camp, still couldn't help but turn his head and look back.

There was great joy in Cao Jun's camp.

"Did you hit it?" ! Because Cao Hong was blocked from sight, he could only roughly see the scattered flags of the Hussars outside the camp. He couldn't help laughing, and then asked eagerly, "Did any of you see the hit?" 』

This question was asked in a confused manner, and the soldiers under his command responded indiscriminately.

"Hit!" Hit! 』

"The general is wise!" 』

"Let the Hussars know how powerful we are!" 』

"a ha ha ha! 』

"Let them all die!" Die! 』

The soldiers of Cao's army were shouting and venting, trying to vent the depression of being beaten on the head in the past few days. It seemed that just by shouting loudly and waving their swords and guns, they could make those catapults go away. It is the same as throwing more accurately and faster. In fact, due to the shoddy construction of the catapults, some catapults have already developed various problems after the first and second rounds of projection, making even the final projection After going out, it became scattered, unable to form the initial covering effect...

"I'm asking if you hit the enemy general?" ! 』

Cao Hong shouted loudly.

Unlike ordinary Cao soldiers who were happy as long as they concentrated their hussars, Cao Hong was more concerned about whether he killed or wounded the enemy generals!

"Do you have? ! 』

Cao Hong raised his head and stared, questioning the Cao soldiers on duty at the observation deck.

The soldiers on the observation deck hesitated, "Probably... it should... seem... there is... right?" "The scene just now was exciting and chaotic. He was so excited that he yelled. How could he care about watching the enemy general to see if he was hit?

Moreover, the hussars and horses scattered after being attacked. He didn't have a telescope, so he wanted to rely solely on his naked eyes to try to accurately locate Xu Chu's position amidst the chaos, smoke, dust and blood mist. This was definitely not an ordinary place for Cao's soldiers. skills that can be possessed.

Cao Hong was impatient and stopped asking questions. He quickly climbed up to the lookout, pushed away the Cao soldier who was responsible for the lookout, widened his eyes, and started searching carefully on the battlefield.

Cao Hong's guards also went to the lookout and tried their best to help search.

"Did you see the general's flag?" ” Cao Hong asked while searching.

Guard Cao Hong replied: "I didn't see it..."

On a chaotic battlefield, it is actually very difficult to find someone alone. Therefore, generally speaking, we look for markers first, and then find people. Whether it is Cao Jun or the Hussars, the first thing is for the general to recognize the flag. Any disturbance in the general's recognition of the flag will bring about continuous reactions, implicating every soldier in the entire army.

Cao Hong quickly took a look around, and then looked at it a second time, suppressing the thudding nervousness.

He didn't see Xu Chu's generals recognizing the flag!

The other hussars are falling apart!

Cao Hong swallowed.

Could it be...

The guard on the side waved his arms excitedly, "General!" No! Didn’t see the recognition flag! 』

Although the flag represents the general himself, it does not mean that they really have the same life. For example, it is not uncommon for the flag bearer to die but the general is fine. It is also possible for the flag to fall in the chaos.

So not seeing the flag really doesn't mean Xu Chu's casualties, but in the current chaotic situation, if Xu Chu is fine, shouldn't he hold up the battle flag to win over the military?

And now no flag appears!

Because the general's flag is so important, even if the soldier holding the flag happens to be killed, he will be immediately replaced by the second flag guard. Even if all the guards under the general die, there will be others Ordinary soldiers protected and raised the flag...

So, is it really just a stroke of luck?

When Cao Hong thought of this, goosebumps surged all over his body!

He swore to the heavens that he had only wanted to teach the Hussars a lesson, but he had never expected to achieve such a result!

Then, it was his turn to make a decision.

Should he launch a full-scale attack, seize the opportunity to kill, and completely defeat the Hussars, or should he stop while he was ahead and win a little?

『General! 』 The Cao army guards were all excited, 『Give the order! 』

『Give the order! 』

The rest of the Cao army soldiers also shouted.

It seemed that victory was just ahead.
