Chapter 3480 Begging with your mouth
All the mistakes were not accumulated by these Cao Jun soldiers, but they required Cao Jun soldiers to bear the greatest damage and sacrifice.
You can say that these Cao Jun soldiers are ignorant, or you can say that these Cao Jun soldiers are incompetent, but one thing cannot be denied. Ignorance and incompetence are not the original intentions of Cao Jun soldiers. It is Shandong''s policy of obscuring the people and high-pressure control that led to the current behavior of Cao Jun soldiers. general performance.
On the ridge, there were actually only a dozen hussar soldiers left, each covered in blood.
Wu Ming was hit by two arrows, one in the chest and one in the leg.
The arrow on the chest was blocked by the armor and failed to penetrate, but the tip of the arrow also cut the skin, causing bleeding. But the calf was not so lucky. It was penetrated directly by the arrow, and the arrowhead was exposed from the other side of the calf.
He took out the arrow from his chest, but he didn''t dare to move the arrow from his leg. Because the muscles are still squeezing the arrow shaft, there is not much blood flow, but once it is pulled out, the blood flow will probably double. By then, even if it is not hacked to death by Cao''s soldiers, he will bleed to death.
"Aww..."
Wu Ming roared at Cao Jun''s soldiers and slapped his shield with his sword.
He knows that if he wants to survive, he must first not be afraid of death!
This may seem contradictory, but now there is consistency.
He had to hold out until the next wave of hussars came up, or even until Sima Yi came with a large army, before he had a chance to retreat!
So he didn''t show any flinch or fear at all, and he was still roaring at Cao Jun''s soldiers!
The swords and shields were full of bloodstains and scars, plus the flesh and blood residue stained on their faces and bodies during the previous fight. Wu Ming and others looked like they had crawled out of **** under the swaying light of the fire. Like a devil!
Cao Jun''s soldiers at Hengshan Rock were swaying, pointing with swords and guns from a distance. Even though Dong Zhao and other Cao Jun military academies were yelling and cursing from behind, they still didn''t come forward.
Not only did Cao''s soldiers perform like this at Hengshan Rock, but throughout the entire Zhongtiao Mountain camp, the performance of Cao''s soldiers also declined and became worse and worse.
Fei Qian''s heavy-armored troops of the Chinese Army had already advanced as close as possible to the gates of the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp. Cao Jun''s stone cannons seemed to suddenly wake up and began to move towards Fei Qian''s Chinese Army. Heavy armored troops hurled stone projectiles.
The stone bombs caused some casualties, but it was too late.
The Chinese heavy armor troops of the Hussars did not stand very densely. Even if they were hit, they would be individual casualties. The impact on the entire array would not be too great, and they had already advanced to the village wall. How could they still be stupid? Waiting to be hit in a daze?
Following an order from the frontline commanding military academy, the hussars and heavily armored infantry rushed towards Cao Jun''s remaining deer villages and fortifications, overturning the horses and knocking down the fences. The hussars following the heavy armored infantry The archers also rushed to the trench beside the wall and fired fiercely into Cao Jun''s camp.
The arrows of the Hussars also caused considerable casualties to Cao''s troops in the camp.
After all, in the night, the area around Cao Jun''s camp was relatively bright, and the hussar archers on the side of the trench were under the protection of the night. Those Cao Jun archers who exposed their heads and chests on the wall of the camp to shoot, some of them would turn over and fall from time to time, letting out long and short screams.
Xu Chu''s attack on the east road was not smooth, and the fire was blown to Zhongtiao Mountain by the northwest wind. For a while, Xu Chu could not step on the flames and continue to attack along the east road, so he started from the east road and moved to the middle road.
The land of Shandong is good at infantry, but under the hussar, these infantry warriors who have put on double-layer heavy armor are even more elite!
What''s more, General Fei Qian of the Hussars is on the battlefield, watching their performance and waiting for their victory. Almost everyone is vying for the first place. Under the leadership of the grassroots military academy, they rush straight into Cao Jun''s camp. Started wreaking havoc.
Suddenly, Cao Jun''s Zhongtiao Mountain camp was fighting almost everywhere, and fires were rising everywhere.
The area was originally designed to defend against the impact of the hussars, but it was not very adaptable to heavy armored infantry. Therefore, Cao Jun had no way to rely too much on fortification traps if he wanted to intercept the hussars. He could only fight with soldiers against soldiers. Right...
While Cao''s army in the middle circle was still trying to deploy soldiers to intercept the advance of these heavily armored soldiers of the Hussars, Xu Chu rushed back to the center line from the east side.
Xu Chu was wearing heavy armor, and his whole body was also stained with blood, but this time he did not hold a sword and shield, but a two-handed battle axe!
Thanks to the influence of classmate Xu Huang who was the trainer of the early Hussars heavy armor camp, many people among the heavy armored infantry now like to use tomahawks.
This thing is really useless for ordinary soldiers. Only those who are born with strong bodies and can be supplemented by fats and proteins such as beef and mutton under the command of hussars can have heavy armor. Otherwise, only carbohydrates will not be able to keep up with the high-intensity physical exertion, not to mention that sometimes even carbohydrates may not be replenished in sufficient amounts.
Xu Chu raised the long-handled battle ax in his hand, shouted, and immediately led his soldiers into the formation of Cao Jun in the camp of Cao Jun!
Heavy armored infantry, double-layered armor, and this heavyweight treasure have always been a weapon to break the formation. Even wooden fences and walls will be quickly torn apart under the chop of a battle axe. . The wooden wall was smashed to pieces, but the Cao soldiers inside the wall only wore two crotch armors and held ordinary swords and guns in front of these armored monsters, just like children playing house with wooden swords and guns.
Cao Jun, who was rushed into the camp by hussars and heavily armored infantry, was immediately killed and was left crying and howling, unable to fight back.
The approaching hussars archers were still firing extended shots to open up the path for these heavily armored infantry.
Under the leadership of Xu Chu, hundreds of heavily armored infantry were like bear scorpions. Every step was filled with blood. They killed through several layers of enemy formations in the blink of an eye, and countless dead souls were added to their swords and axes!
Flames and black smoke rose all around, and blood and broken bones were entangled in the ground.
The rockets in the sky were like shooting stars, falling one by one.
The screams one after another are like the big and small brass horns in the symphony, screaming unwillingly in the battlefield.
The sharp sword brought out sparks and tore at the flesh and blood.
The heavy tomahawk whizzed by, shattering bones.
The road was paved with flesh and blood, and the souls of the dead seemed to be screaming at every step!
Fighting was taking place tragically everywhere.
The dilapidated Luzhai and the Juma lying on the ground were exposed as traps concealed on the surface and became decorations on the battlefield.
Soldiers on both sides fought to the death, and the sounds of fighting and shouting burst out from the bottom of the chest, squeezed out at the last moment of life, even overwhelming the sound of dozens or hundreds of leather drums on both sides beating hard, and overwhelming the horns. The sound of blowing shakes the curtain of the dark night and tears down the stars in the sky!
Although there are still some soldiers in Cao''s army, including the central leaders and central guards, who rush forward to attack Xu Chu and other heavy-armored infantry with a certain death intention, these soldiers of Cao''s army who have a certain death intention are only a minority after all. The vast majority of Cao''s soldiers are retreating. Escape, and the Hussars are not only armored elites, but more importantly, they are different from the cavalry. During the initial harassment battle, they had been resting and adjusting in the rear. Now they can be said to be a new force. Cao Jun''s sporadic counterattacks are almost It was shattered in the blink of an eye!
The momentum of the hussar''s attack was unstoppable, forcing Cao Jun to roll back, cross the trench, cross the horse, pass through the tent, and rush straight to the inner circle of Cao Jun''s Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, which was already panicking and at a loss!
…
…
At least half of the reason why the inner circle of Cao Jun''s Zhongtiao Mountain camp was at a loss was attributed to Dong Zhao who led his soldiers to kill him.
Indeed, for Dong Zhao, both the middle circle and the outer circle are facing attacks from the Hussars, and those military academies are not as stable as the inner circle. It is not easy for the middle circle and the outer circle to cooperate and support each other. Things are over, how can we hope that they can still lead troops back to save the inner circle from danger?
Moreover, there is danger in the inner circle. Once this kind of thing spreads, it is impossible to say that the entire camp will collapse immediately!
The military academy in the Zhongtiao Mountain camp has long wanted to retreat. The reason why they are still holding on is that Dong Zhao in the inner circle is still stuck at the intersection and has the authority to control who goes first and who stays?
If these military academies knew that their retreat might be cut off, their inner circle would not be protected, and there would be no safe retreat, it would be hard to say how long these Cao Jun military academies would continue to fight and how much fighting will they would have. .
So Dong Zhao must solve the problem by himself, and he can only solve it!
At the beginning, Dong Zhao was still very confident that he could solve the problem, defeat the hussar soldiers who penetrated through the trails, and defend the camp. Hengshan Rock is a small and awkward place. The hussars are running around in circles, which must consume a lot of energy and physical strength. As long as they block it once at night and let the archers climb up and shoot after dawn, no matter how many hussars come, they will be killed. There is a dead end at the bottom of the valley!
This is foreseeable and clear. As long as the hussars at Hengshan Rock are repulsed and then the center circle is defended, then the hussars will have no choice but to retreat and rest if they are unable to break through the Zhongtiao Mountain camp in one go!
Dong Zhao''s strategy of waiting for work can be a great success!
As long as the hussars retreat, whether it is a slight pursuit or making noise on the spot, it can greatly boost the morale of Cao Cao''s army. It will not be a problem to defend at least one more time until the strategy formulated by Cao Cao succeeds!
But what Dong Zhao never expected was that the battle at Hengshan Rock would go so poorly!
These hussar soldiers, regardless of casualties, were so fierce and tenacious that it exceeded Dong Zhao''s imagination!
They paved a road to success with their lives and pushed Cao Jun into the abyss of failure!
It''s not that Dong Zhao is stupid, nor that Sima Yi is smart. At this moment, it''s not Dong Zhao and Sima Yi who make the plans of both sides finally diverge and show different results, but these ordinary soldiers!
It was the soldiers of both sides who jointly created this result!
If the hussar soldiers had retreated a little and Cao''s soldiers had been braver, perhaps the result would have been very different.
Cao''s army originally had a larger number of soldiers. If they really put their lives at risk, the Hussars might not be able to stand, no matter how well-equipped they are. But now it''s obvious that Cao''s soldiers are unwilling to charge forward...
If you make meritorious deeds, you will naturally be rewarded!
Otherwise, who would be willing to fight to the death? !
During the battle, blood was shed, meritorious deeds were accomplished, and scars of all sizes were worn as medals. The military also repeatedly stated that what awaited them would be a happy and wonderful retirement life...
Then, nothing more.
Even if they can be discharged from the army, it still depends on whether the local squire can provide them with resettlement!
It would be a coincidence if the local squire happened to have an aunt, a nephew, a nephew, etc. who were also looking for work...
In the feudal dynasty, the flow of information from place to place was imperfect, so some problems in one place may not be communicated to other places. This gave the officials of the feudal dynasty room to cover up. But now within the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, soldiers are relatively densely packed, and messages are transmitted much faster than before. Once the messages start to be transmitted, it may be difficult to control.
In addition, there is no way to prepare any nappies in the Zhongtiao Mountain camp to divert the soldiers'' attention...
The more Cao''s soldiers knew, the more disappointed they became in Shandong. But after all, those news are other people''s affairs. They sound like some small stories. Although they can make people frustrated and disappointed, they still have to live every day. It''s just that if there are too many people hanging around, morale will not be improved. In addition, Dong Zhao gave these Cao soldiers the last straw...
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
In the land of Shandong, it was not just once or twice that he shot his own people together.
Even if Cao Jun reported Dong Zhao''s behavior to others after the battle and killed people, what''s the use? Shouldn''t the roundabout be sent to the person involved and let the person involved handle it on his own?
So Dong Zhao didn''t care at all.
But this time, he was wrong.
The soldiers of Cao''s army are not indifferent, nor are they fools. Even though they know that there is a huge pit with mountains of swords and sea of ??fire in front of them, and they will be kicked hard by their own people behind, they will still sacrifice themselves willingly.
Now Dong Zhao suffered the bitter fruit of Cao''s army lying flat.
Seeing that the soldiers on his side were making gestures but not rushing up, the hussars on the opposite side joined the new force. Although the number of hussars has not exceeded Cao''s army for the time being, the hussars soldiers are brave and decisive. He didn''t hesitate to rush forward and completely suppressed Cao''s soldiers from the ridge!
Are the Hussars really going to defeat the Zhongtiaoshan Camp tonight?
Before tonight, Dong Zhao would have probably thought this was a joke, but now looking at these hussar soldiers, Dong Zhao realized that maybe he was the one who became the joke.
"Can''t retreat!" Can''t retreat! Dong Zhao almost wailed and shouted to the surroundings, "We can''t retreat!" If you withdraw, it''s over! If you can''t hold on, it''s over! 』
The centuries-old glory of Han Shandong has faded to this point. If it loses again, it will really be impossible to raise its head in front of the people of Guanzhong!
Dong Zhao felt that the spirits of Deng Yu, Wu Han, and even Yuan An and others seemed to be looking at him at this moment!
But when Dong Zhao looked around, he felt strange when he saw the soldiers leading the army and protecting the army...
What about the wisdom and bravery of those Shandong people?
All that''s left now is fear.
Even though there were soldiers supervising the war driving them away with swords and guns from behind, the soldiers of Cao''s army still lingered outside the range of the war supervising army''s swords and guns, and even turned around and cursed when they got angry, indicating that the supervising team was capable of going up on their own!
Do the supervising team dare to go up?
Obviously, the supervising team didn''t dare either.
As a result, the situation became increasingly unfriendly to Cao Jun.
"The Hussars are exhausted!" Dong Zhao still shouted, "As long as we hold on this time, the hussars will retreat!" The Hussars must retreat! 』
This time, Dong Zhao told the truth.
Human physical strength is not unlimited.
Everyone knows this, including those slave owners who want their slaves to work twelve hours a day!
But slave owners like to use other people''s limited lives to create their own infinite value.
So Dong Zhao once imagined that the Hussars would launch an attack overnight, but it was just that the Hussars were arrogant, and the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, the entire Shandong, and the Central Plains of Han Dynasty would be reborn from the ashes in this battle...
Dong Zhao knew that although strategies and materials were important, in the final analysis, war was about people!
The total population of Shandong is greater than that of Guanzhong, so as long as the war continues for a long time, Guanzhong will inevitably fall!
But Dong Zhao didn''t know that the war was indeed fought against people, but Shandong''s failure was also due to this "people"!
So Dong Zhao failed.
He originally planned to stand firm at Hengshan Rock, guard the intersection, and then have a chance to hold on to the camp and even launch a counterattack, but all these plans failed with "people".
What he saw shattered all his illusions.
Although the hussars were covered in blood and had traveled a long distance, these hussars seemed to still have some strength and courage. One by one, they wanted to rush in front of him and cut off Dong Zhao''s head. Hanging on the three-color flag, go and order the remaining Cao troops in Zhongtiao Mountain to surrender!
He will die here!
Even if he didn''t die, the war he commanded was already a complete failure.
Even if you can escape the death penalty, you cannot avoid the life penalty! If he is defeated, Dong Zhao will be expelled from the political core, and may be sent to a bitter cold and misty land. He doesn''t know when he will be able to return to his hometown again!
Either die here, or life is worse than death!
Dong Zhao didn''t want either of these options. Dong Zhao couldn''t tell which of these two results was more terrifying. Perhaps both options are equally terrible and both are unacceptable to him...
surrender?
Dong Zhao shivered.
He also cannot surrender!
It''s not that Dong Zhao is very loyal to Cao Cao, but if he surrenders to Hussar, it means that all the knowledge, all the persistence, and all the hard work of Dong Zhao in his half life are wrong!
This means that he is wrong and has gone astray!
Admitting that he was wrong, and then spending the rest of his life repenting and atone for his sins would make him even more uncomfortable than killing him!
So Dong Zhao put down his airs for the first time, lowered his figure as a celebrity, and showed a pleading look on his face, "Stop them!" Block them! As long as you can stop them! You can have whatever you want! If you want gold or silver, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold! Anyone who wants an official position must be promoted to the third level! 』
