Chapter 3340 Thought It Was

Chapter 3339 I thought it meant

Except for those who have nothing to say about the cards, or are fools who don't know how to play cards, who would throw the king bomb when they come on the field?

In ancient and modern times, how many battles in China and abroad have ended with the two commanders facing each other at the beginning?

Just like playing Chinese chess, how many people start by moving the general five forwards?

Then the people watching the chess shouted, "How can you play like this! Damn, in this Chu-Han war, if you don't move the main general first, you are an idiot! '

Cao Hong is a chariot, horse and cannon, and Xu Chu is also a chariot, horse and cannon.

Oh, the cannon hasn't arrived yet.

So now, after Cao Hong made a profit, he pushed a pawn forward to try to further compress the battlefield...

The order to attack was quickly passed to Bao Zhong.

'What? Attack? '

Bao Zhong's expression was a little distorted, 'Now? It's not your turn yet...'

'This is General Cao's order! '

The messenger yelled at Bao Zhong.

『Ah, OK, I will obey your order...』

Bao Zhong could only say this.

You are awesome.

You are amazing.

You have a loud voice.

You are Cao Hong's guard, it is really unfair for you to be a messenger...

Bao Zhong cursed in his heart, and then looked back at his men.

It was not Bao Zhong's turn to fight today, so they were resting and watching before, and they were happy when they received an urgent order to fight.

The honorable Zhonglingjun Zhonghujun had already made a hard trip and successfully defeated part of the Huqi troops, so what's the problem with letting Bao Zhong and others go out of the camp to help and chase the Huqi deserters?

But...

Bao Zhong and other soldiers were resting, and the soldiers on standby nearby also heard the shouting of the messenger. In an instant, everyone was frozen as if struck by lightning, and was dumbfounded.

Some soldiers were so frightened that they didn't even notice the bread in their hands falling to the ground or the water in their water bags spilling. They just raised their hands and trembled as they put the water into their mouths.

Watching others fight to the death and fighting to the death are two completely different concepts.

As long as life and death have nothing to do with oneself, then of course you can shout as loud as you can, but when you really have to fight for your life, of course you can shout as loud as you can...

The soldiers under Bao Zhong have not fully recovered from the tragic situation of the previous battle with the cavalry. Even now, they saw the catapult smashing the cavalry into pieces...

That was the power of the catapult. If they really went up, what if...

No one is stupid.

Seeing the messenger running away with a whistle, Bao Zhong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Of course, you have to attack, otherwise it would be disobeying military orders, but the current situation really made Bao Zhong confused.

『Get ready! Move faster! Get ready to attack! 'Bao Zhong shouted, driving away those ordinary Cao army soldiers, and then he went forward and grabbed Conglai who was beside him, 'You follow me! '

The two walked forward for a short distance, and seeing that there was no one around, they lowered their heads and gathered together.

'This, this general of the cavalry is really...'

Bao Zhong's speech was a little unsmooth.

Conglai's heart was also beating fast.

The general of the cavalry front army was killed just like that?

If the general of the cavalry front army was really dead, the risk of attacking would not be so high.

But if not, why would Cao Hong order an attack?

Seeing Bao Zhong's panic, especially the murderous intent spreading in his eyes, Conglai's heart was trembling, but on the surface he was still smiling, 'General, can't you see this? '

'What can't you see? 'Bao Zhong asked.

Conglai looked confident and said softly: 'It's all using strategies...'

'You, you, what are you talking about? What strategy is this? 'Bao Zhong was shocked and immediately became suspicious.

The front cavalry army is like this, what is your strategy?

He said: "When the general goes out of the camp to fight, you might as well move a little slower..."

"What do you mean?"

Bao Zhong wanted to ask again, but the messenger that Cao Hong urged for the second time had arrived, and Bao Zhong could only order to move forward.

It is not necessary to climb up and down to cross the earthen plateaus from the Cao army camp, but you can go forward through the previously assumed suspension bridge. Although the suspension bridge can accommodate a limited number of soldiers passing through at the same time, it is much faster than climbing up and down the winding mountain road.

Because the remaining part of the army in front could not completely pass the suspension bridge, Bao Zhong led the troops to stand by the suspension bridge and wait.

While waiting, Bao Zhong looked at the catapult positions on the inner side of the village wall.

There was a lot of chaos inside the catapult position.

Because when it was originally manufactured, it was rushed, and there were no standard parts that could be used between craftsmen. Although this is easier to manage, it actually costs more.

Under this working model in Shandong, because each craftsman is responsible for the trebuchet he built, each craftsman is only familiar with the trebuchet he built. For example, if the swing arm is not strong enough, it will be reinforced. However, it is not so easy for others to know where the trebuchet is broken when there is a problem...

Under high-intensity use, these trebuchets of Cao's army soon had various faults and problems. Repair became a big problem!

Even when Bao Zhong received the order to attack, many trebuchets had already stopped working, and it didn't seem like they could be repaired.

Busy craftsmen and laborers were running around, shouting, bumping into each other in a hurry, and tools and materials were scattered all over the floor.

Some civilian husbands injured themselves due to improper operation, and then fell aside covered in blood and no one paid attention...

Bao Zhong looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.

"General Bao!" It’s your turn! quick! quick! ! 』

Cao Jun's military academy who was on duty at the suspension bridge urged.

Bao Zhong forced a smile on his face, "Do you know how many enemies there are outside the camp?" Where? 』

The military officer on duty stared, "How did I know this?" ! Did you pass or fail? ! 』

"Yes, yes, yes!" ” Bao Zhong didn’t say any more, he just waved his arms and asked his men to move forward.

Those on duty at such a critical location are the Central Guards. Even a small military academy is very arrogant, and even generals like Bao Zhong have to be polite to them, otherwise they will offend a relative of the Cao family or Xiahou family at some point...

What?

Cleaning up the workplace?

What can really improve the workplace is because others are carrying the burden for him, isn't it? When you really have to shoulder the burden of a whole family plus debt, why don't you just take a look?

Bao Zhong didn't ask again.

Obviously, those who attacked in this wave were not the central leaders and the central guards, but ordinary soldiers with foreign surnames like Bao Zhong.

After all, Cao Hong is a veteran who has fought in ups and downs for more than ten years. Although he is eager to win, he still restrains himself and throws some small cards as a test.

If the opposing hussars can't even catch small pairs like three, three, four, and four, then naturally they can take on a dragon...

…

…

War is always a struggle between two sides, and there cannot always be only one side making progress.

After being repeatedly suppressed by the Hussars, Cao Jun finally broke out. He revealed a card and threw it on the card table, splattering Xu Chu's face with blood.

Xu Chu accidentally fell into the trap carefully laid by Cao Hong. Under the indiscriminate attack of the trebuchet, the troops suffered heavy losses.

Regardless of whether it is in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, troops without cover are vulnerable and powerless when encountering such long-range attacks.

During the entire command process, did Xu Chu make any mistakes?

If we extrapolate based on the current results, then Xu Chu is undoubtedly wrong.

But if it were said that at any time before this result, Xu Chu's choice would not have been a problem.

Unfortunately, the Chinese cavalry led by Xu Chu suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, Xu Chu himself did not enter the dense area during the first wave of the most dangerous Cao Jun's catapult attack. After the subsequent Cao Jun attack was more or less prepared and the troops dispersed, the damage was not as great as the first wave. .

However, Xu Chu was not injured and could not save the tragic situation.

The entire Chinese cavalry array was disrupted and scattered during Cao Jun's catapult attack!

Moreover, the death of those cavalrymen who were hit by catapults would be far more miserable than those who died under swords, guns, arrows and crossbows!

Those who were decapitated or crushed to death on the spot did not have to endure much pain, but those who were brushed aside and had their arms and legs broken, or whose bones were broken by broken stone fragments, were wailing in pain. .

This kind of injury is extremely difficult to treat even if it is treated!

Dahan's current Jinshang Department can only deal with some simple cuts, but it is still somewhat powerless to deal with broken or torn wounds. These injured soldiers are still alive at the moment, but will soon die from internal or external blood loss.

Xu Chu knew this, so when he saw everything in front of him, he felt a little dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

The life and death of these soldiers are the sin and responsibility that the generals bear!

After escaping from the attack range of Cao Jun's trebuchet, he finally calmed down, and a deep regret immediately surged into his heart.

This was his decision and his recklessness, which sent hundreds of hussars directly to death!

Xu Chu clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.

The guards on the left and right were also in shock, "General, would you like to order the troops to withdraw?" 』

Xu Chu's clenched cheeks twitched rapidly several times, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Cao Jun's camp, "No!" Can't withdraw now! If we go back now, it means that all of us will die in vain! The war cannot be fought like this! 』

"Withdrawing troops means admitting defeat!" And we..." Xu Chu turned around and inspected the battlefield, and said fiercely, "Put away the general's flag! 』

"What? ’ The guard didn’t understand.

"Put away the general's flag!" ” Xu Chu confirmed the order again.

He suddenly remembered the scene when he was attacked by Cao Jun's catapult.

At that time, he discovered that danger was coming from the sky, and then he shouted for the troops to disperse, but in fact his order was not conveyed, but his men dispersed some queues automatically...

Immediately, those cruel and bloody scenes crashed into Xu Chu's eyes again.

Xu Chu couldn't swallow this breath.

Then Xu Chu realized a mistake of his. He was not a serious cavalry general. He was more familiar with commanding infantry, but his control and command of cavalry was a little slower than those of cavalry generals.

And for the cavalry who pursue speed, a slower beat means exposing more flaws!

After realizing his own gap, Xu Chu also had a new idea.

What is an elite?

The troops who only know how to obey orders and execute them strictly can indeed be called elites, but they lack a little agility and a little soul!

Originally, the souls were held in the hands of generals and hung on the flags. But now, under such extreme circumstances, Xu Chu began to want to roll up the flags and release these "souls"!

Let professionals do professional things!

"I'm not willing to withdraw like this!" Are you willing? ! " Seeing that his guards were still motionless, Xu Chu said angrily, "One thing is going down, the other is going up! As soon as our army withdraws, the enemy will pursue us! If they don't roll up the flag, how can Cao's army pursue him with confidence? ! 』

The guards who can follow Xu Chu are basically veterans of the military. After hearing what Xu Chu said, they immediately understood.

But I understand, but this is a dangerous move!

Since Cao Jun set up such a strategy, it is certainly impossible to see the hussars doing nothing after being seriously damaged, allowing the hussars to withdraw and then regroup. However, in order to focus on attacking Xu Chu's branch, Cao Jun did not attack the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Hussars. This meant that the cavalry units under Xu Chu only damaged the original cavalry of the central army, while the cavalry on the left and right wings were roughly The above is still complete.

Therefore, Xu Chu decided to set a trap for Cao's army. He rolled up the flag, did not issue any orders, and pretended that the general was damaged, so as to lure more Cao's troops to attack and kill him.

"Roll up the flag, just in case, just in case..."

The guard said "in case" twice and did not continue, but his meaning was understood by several people present.

Xu Chu's face was somewhat livid, his expression extremely serious and solemn, and he said slowly, "Roll up the flag, retreat ten miles, and then raise the flag again to counterattack the enemy!" Kill those Cao soldiers who are chasing after them! I believe our soldiers and generals can definitely do it! 』

The plan is simple.

But it is not that easy to implement it.

Even in the era of walkie-talkies and frontline radios, it was a common problem for frontline troops to make their own decisions about whether to fight and whether to leave.

Xu Chu's left and right wings plus the cavalry in the center are 3,000 people. Even if something goes wrong, the fast horse can adjust in time. But if the battlefield is huge and there is a large-scale collapse, it will be difficult to save even if there is a large-scale collapse. Disaster!

Seeing that Xu Chu was determined, the guards stopped talking.

Someone stepped forward to help and rolled up the flag representing Xu Chu.

Xu Chu watched silently, and then turned his eyes to the wing where Li Li was.

He doesn't have much confidence in Qubei, but he has...

Although he could not immediately send a message to Li Li on this battlefield, Xu Chu believed that the guy who could develop new tactics would be able to understand his meaning and coordinate with him to create a beautiful counterattack.

As for getting rid of humiliation...

snort.

…

…

At this time, Cao Jun's camp was already shouting "ouch", like Erha who had been locked in a cage for too long, rushing out while shaking his tongue.

Outside Cao Jun's camp, the large area where the catapult struck was already a scene of Shura Hell.

Whether it is a human or a horse, whether it is wearing armor or not, there is almost no difference in the face of the kinetic energy of the stone.

Although the hussars were well-trained in causing chaos and had strict orders, they were still made of flesh and blood. After being caught off guard by Cao Jun, they could not use their flesh and blood to resist the attack of the catapult. Moreover, in a situation where danger is falling from the sky and rocks are flying, even the most elite soldiers will inevitably become a little panicked. Some soldiers even collide with each other, causing unnecessary damage.

The hussars who had finally escaped the attack of Cao Jun's catapults were shocked when they saw the roaring and releasing a large group of Erha in Cao Jun's camp. They subconsciously turned back to look at Xu Chu's general position. If Xu Chu’s general’s flag was not found, it would be chaos!

The war drums roared in the camp of Cao Jun, and countless soldiers of Cao Jun roared and rushed forward. The hussars who had lost their ranks were unable to resist the numerous Cao Jun troops, so they instinctively began to retreat and flee, which became more and more tempting, causing Cao Jun to clamor. , chased to death.

Bao Zhong was in Cao's army. Although he raised his sword high and roared in pursuit, he was uneasy in his heart. It's like a gambler who bets big but gets a small win. While feeling regretful, he wishes he could get his chips back and bet again...

Was his choice the right one?

If the Hussars were really defeated like this, the Hundred Medical Center would naturally be in ruins. Also, if he was stabbed out by that kid from before, his head would definitely be missing!

Damn it!

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have chosen so early...

But my elder brother...

So, the current situation...

If it is really exposed, I will pass the blame to the guy who never knew...

What to do now...

In Bao Zhong's mind, hundreds of thoughts were swirling around and over again, and his actions were inevitably half a beat too slow, which was in line with the "slow down" thing he had always mentioned before. By the time Bao Zhong discovered this problem himself, they were already far behind...

He never knew when he came to Bao Zhong's side and said, "General Bao, well done!" 』

"..." Bao Zhong had a stern look on his face.

I was distracted just now and didn’t really want to do this. Can you believe it?

"Lend me a flag later..." Changji suddenly said, "Let's see if we can take the opportunity to contact..."

"What? !" Bao Zhong was shocked, "Are you crazy? ! Now? !"

"Now is the most important time!" said Conglai, "And this time, I want my people to contact..."

Conglai looked at the messy battlefield, "These dead people are all negligence of General Bao... There can't be a second time! !"

"You are crazy, you must be crazy! " Bao Zhong gritted his teeth, "Why don't you use your own flag? !"

Conglai chuckled, "If I can have my own, why would I borrow it from you? !"

Conglai is not a general, so naturally there is no general flag.

『..." Bao Zhong remained silent.

『Don't worry, when you escape back, it's normal to lose one or two flags? 』Conglai chuckled, "And... listen to me, I guarantee you will benefit! 』

"You... do you really believe that the general of the front army of the cavalry is fine? Bao Zhong looked ahead, seeing the Cao army soldiers who were extremely excited and desperately chasing after him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, "How did you know? How did you contact them?"

Nong Lai smiled, "You are wrong, I don't believe in this general of the front army... I just believe in the cavalry!"
