Chapter 3269 Big Surprise
In fact, after Sima Yi attacked the grain transport convoy, he had achieved certain results and could evacuate.
It’s just a pity that Sima Yi wanted more, so he tried to shoot the Cao army’s granary in the transit camp with a big yellow crossbow. As long as he could successfully burn half, or even one-third of the Cao army, it meant that the Cao army would fall into a more embarrassing situation.
And Qianzhao seized this opportunity.
The cavalry soldiers were hiding behind the woods and sent Cao Ping to pretend to be a large-scale rescue of Zhongtiao Mountain, eliminating Sima Yi's vigilance. So Sima Yi was relieved and bold in intercepting the grain team outside the transit camp, and stopped fighting horses to assemble the yellow crossbow.
Another point is that Sima Yi burned the flames and black smoke from the food and grass, covering Qian Zhao and others' rushing out.
When the vibration became more and more obvious and the sound of horse hooves was clearly audible, Qian Zhao and others had already increased their speed to the maximum and rushed towards Sima Yi and his party!
Sima Yi noticed some unusual movements, but someone in the Great Yellow Crossbow Team on the other side had already assembled and was shooting into the transit camp.
Under the black smoke, we could not clearly see how many soldiers and horses the other party had arrived.
This is the Sapry that was given to Sima Yi.
A big surprise.
『Come on! Stop them!
Sima Yi ordered that he was not fully aware of the danger at this time, and he was still thinking about buying some time for the Dahuang Crossbow team.
A war horse rushed out of the smoke.
The war horse was wearing a horse suit, and the wide horse suit covered the head and neck of the war horse, covering the horse's feet and knees, making the entire war horse look even larger. The cavalry on the war horse leaned low on the horse's back, united with the war horse, and pointed a shiny spear forward.
Immediately afterwards, another war horse rushed out, with the same horse-dressed cavalry, but the cavalry was holding a war knife.
Then more and more war horses rushed out.
These war horses are all wearing horse suits, and they seem to be wider and thicker than ordinary war horses.
Sima Yi began to feel something was wrong, and he shouted: "Intercept them! Shoot!"
In most cases, it is correct to shoot a man and a horse.
In desperation, Sima Yi failed to realize that he might have been targeted.
There is an extremely complex problem of mutual generation and restraint between the troops. He is not the cunning Sima Yi in history. All his experiences and skills are summaries of his previous experiences.
Sima Yi was undoubtedly smart. He found the most sharp army to deal with Cao's infantry, the heavy arrows and archers. Unlike the light arrow nomadic cavalry in the grassland and desert, Sima Yi chose armor-breaking arrows, and the range was much shorter than that of light arrows, but the destructive power was several times stronger than that of light arrows.
The reason why Sima Yi was able to establish a group of archers who were good at shooting on horseback was because the cavalry used stirrups on a large scale. This thing allowed the cavalry on horseback to shoot more flexibly.
Some of the infantry in the Cao army surrendered by the Yuan army, so the experience of Cao army infantry in fighting archers was based on the light cavalry of the nomadic peoples in the grassland, that is, how to deal with light arrows, light armor and light cavalry.
Earlier, the Cao army infantrymen were more concerned about how to calmly turn around the group of annoying light or unequipped archers running around while preventing light arrows. Then the various light infantry shooters under the cover of the stable front line maintained by the shield-heavy infantry are a good choice.
However, such tactics are ineffective in front of Sima Yi's middle-mounted heavy arrows. The arrows of Cao's infantry may not be able to penetrate armored targets. Even if they hit, miss often occurs in front of the armor of the cavalry. The infantry battle formation is relatively stationary and extremely difficult to turn, which makes Cao's infantry suffer a great loss when they first fight against Sima Yi's cavalry.
But in the war, there has never been any strongest military service, and there has never been an invincible tactic. To win the battle, we can only analyze the specific situation in detail and seize the opportunity to make reasonable use.
Judging from the preparations before the war, Sima Yi did not make any big mistakes.
The role of the archers is to harass infantry, encircle and restrain, guerrillas behind enemy lines, attack the opponent's grain transport routes, and restrain the opponent's main force. Sima Yi undoubtedly made the best choice.
After all, the range and speed of the archers are the fastest, and Sima Yi brought two horses to ensure long-term movement and combat. For Cao's army, which is mainly infantry, Sima Yi's arrangement is indeed very targeted.
Sima Yi evolved the light-mounted and light-arrowed archers of the nomadic peoples into the double-horse heavy-arrowed archers that bully Cao's infantry at present. They were in informal combat or guerrilla warfare. Relying on relatively flat terrain such as plains and grasslands, he could roam around and investigate, plunder enemy supplies, engage in destruction, assassination, poisoning water sources, capture prisoners, etc., making the enemy's actions and logistics difficult.
His only mistake was that Cao Jun suddenly took out the card of the rushing cavalry from his crotch...
And I still wear a condom!
The troops are not a simple restraining relationship. It is impossible to see the opponent's spearman like in the game, and then switch to the archer immediately. Then, when the opponent sees the archer shooting here, he immediately pulls the knife and shield...
This is war.
War is not a sports competition, nor is it that both sides are surrounded in the same map, and then they are all on the same starting line. Just a fight is a battle and see who is stronger and who is weaker.
Sima Yi was not prepared to fight against the thunder cavalry at all, so the weapons he carried were basically used by the arch cavalry.
This is quite embarrassing...
The cavalry of Cao led by Qian Zhao were allocated from the camp directly under Cao Cao. To a certain extent, they were "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". After all, they were Cao Cao's guard cavalry, but Cao Cao himself was not good at cavalry combat, so he temporarily gave Qian Zhao his command power.
Qianzhao originally wanted eight hundred, but now there are less than five hundred.
Even though Shandong lacks war horses, the cavalry under Cao Cao's war horses are not much worse than those of Sima Yi and others. After all, they are cavalry battalions directly under Cao Cao. In addition, Qianzhao originally fought in Youbei, so he had the experience of fighting nomadic archers and even had the experience of fighting against Baima Yicong. Therefore, when he asked the cavalry to wear horse clothes, he took advantage of the smoke and rushed to Sima Yi's surroundings, he had a chance of winning.
When Qian Zhao and others began to advance, and Sima Yi had not turned around and retreated immediately, but tried to step forward to intercept, Qian Zhao and others' chances of winning increased to 60%!
The long arrow roared and flew towards Qian Zhao and others.
『Raising a shield!』
Qianzhao shouted loudly.
The Cao army cavalry raised their shields at the same time, covering the vital parts of their heads, necks and faces, and also blocked part of their heads and necks for the war horses under their crotch. They accelerated again, and the sound of horse hooves became even more urgent, and the sound of thunder was as loud as thunder.
The others are to resist!
『Swoosh swish swish!』
The sound of arrows breaking through the air was endless, as if hail was hitting the Cao cavalry like Qianzhao.
The Cao army cavalry sandwiched in the middle are relatively safer. After all, they have their bodies to protect their companions from the front, back, left and right, so they just need to protect their heads and faces. The knights on both sides have to withstand more attacks. Almost in the blink of an eye, the Cao army cavalry on both sides immediately seemed to grow weeds, and there were many more arrows on the branches and forks!
Seeing this, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
Because the Cao army's cavalry did not immediately fall down.
In other words, some people fell down, but the number was too different from Sima Yi's originally expected.
The Cao army cavalry, with arrows hanging on them, were still running wildly.
Those horse clothes!
Sima Yi looked closely and found that the horse suits obviously seemed to be thicker than ordinary cloth, and even felt a little bulging, as if there was a mezzanine, stuffed with something. The arrow shot on the horse suits, which did not cause much damage. Only a few war horses fell down, and more were still hitting quickly.
"Don't shoot horses! Shoot people!"
Sima Yi screamed.
When cavalry battles, killing the opponent's war horse first seems to be an unwritten unspoken rule.
Fei's "hidden" rules.
Now this rule has been discovered and used by Cao's army.
War will change everything.
No one wants to lose, and no one wants to lose.
The cavalry and horses under Sima Yi also noticed this strange thing. Some of them exclaimed, while others shot harder, but no matter how desperate they tried, the loss of Qianzhao and others was still very small, but they quickly approached Sima Yi's place as fast as possible.
At this moment, even the slowest person understood the intention of pulling the trick, let alone Sima Yi?
"withdraw!"
Sima Yi immediately turned his horse's head and retreated directly.
Sima Yi's decision was decisive, but it was still a little late.
The distance of five or six hundred steps is just a matter of a blink of an eye for a horse galloping.
This is the effect required for pulling the trick.
What?
Archer turned around and rode and shot?
That's right, the cavalry of the archer is indeed a sharp skill.
But turning back and arching will slow down the horse's speed. At the same time, not everyone can have skills similar to those of at least a second-rate general, and can shoot accurately, far and powerfully in the Mercedes-Benz.
Qian Zhao was very clear. Of course, Sima Yi dared to bring cavalry to the rear of Cao's flank and disturb the sneak attack. He had studied it in detail with Cao Cao before and knew Sima Yi's advantages in cavalry. On the contrary, Sima Yi had no idea about Qian Zhao and others, so it was naturally impossible to make any targeting strategies.
Now Qianzhao has abandoned all the progress and directly attacked Sima Yi, which is forcing Sima Yi to fight with him. In this regard, Qianzhao undoubtedly has advantages, and Sima Yi's martial arts...
Therefore, when Sima Yi saw that the situation was not good, he retreated immediately without saying a word.
In this world, there are gains and losses.
If Sima Yi had a uniform formation and his speed had not decreased, he could still compete with the soldiers in the battle against the soldiers. However, Sima Yi was not fast enough on the one hand, and the soldiers were relatively scattered on the other hand, which made Sima Yi's counterattack power insufficient in front of the soldiers and the attack power, and failed to block the soldiers or delay the attack power.
The ultimate trick to pull the trick is horse-like.
Not only does the horse's clothing have a sturdy fabric, but the inner layer of the horse's clothing is also filled with forage.
This is the secret weapon used to resist bows and arrows.
Anyway, the war horses had to carry some forage, but they turned these forages into part of their defense.
Of course, if Sima Yi had known all this before, he would have changed it to a rocket, which would have turned these Cao army cavalry into mobile torches one by one, but who can do the real battlefield "knowing it before"?
The goal was achieved. His breakthrough disrupted Sima Yi's arrangement and successfully threatened Sima Yi's life, forcing Sima Yi to escape. Sima Yi's escape also forced other Hussar soldiers to leave with him.
Everything is now focused on the distance between the tip of the gun and Sima Yi's armor.
Horse hooves flew.
The mud and dust are scattered.
Black smoke rolls.
Looking down from the air, Sima Yi's cavalry was scattered, while Qian Zhao and others were like a sharp sword, cutting through the black smoke and stabbing Sima Yi in the direction.
Loess and Yingpan became the background wall of this battle, and they didn't even have time to cheer for the show...
Sima Yi turned around and saw Qian Zhao and others getting closer and closer. Although the scattered Hussar cavalry who tried to intercept them were brave, they did not have an effective array after all. Even if some Cao army cavalry were occasionally knocked down, overall, they were not able to stop these Cao army cavalry.
Moreover, because the Cao army cavalry all covered the horse suits, and the length of the horse suits always covered the position below the knees of the horse legs, the majority of the tripping ropes thrown by the Hussar cavalry were blocked by the horse suits.
Seeing that the Qianzhao was getting closer and closer, Sima was about to become a dead horse. The big yellow crossbow that was originally planned to fire at the transit camp suddenly turned and fired towards the Qianzhao cavalry array, which eventually saved Sima Yi's life!
Originally, the team that assembled the yellow crossbow was to shoot the transit camp and burn the camp to hoard food and grass, but unexpectedly, when they first started a long-range attack, they rushed out and chased Sima Yi like a rabbit!
The soldiers of this group of big yellow crossbow team were a little slower. As soon as they got on the crossbow arrow, they saw Sima Yi's miserable situation. Without having time to think about it, they instinctively shifted the direction of the attack and shot the special crossbow arrow towards the Cao cavalry!
The crossbow arrows of the yellow crossbow roared, cutting through the sky, and hitting fiercely in the pulling queue!
The special yellow crossbow and crossbow arrow hit a Cao army cavalry and shattered on the spot!
The turmeric oil installed in the middle of the crossbow arrow suddenly became fire and oil, splashing all over the place!
Some of the people who were lucky enough not to be stained with flames could still run wildly with tinder oil, but those Cao's cavalry who were stained with tinder oil unfortunately encountered some scattered flames, and then the fire rose up!
The horse clothes of Cao Jun’s war horses were covered with straw bags, which was simply the best fuel bank!
The Cao army cavalry, who were ignited by the flames, all screamed shrillly, which was terrifying.
The Cao army's horses, which were originally in line, were scattered under instinct and fled in all directions.
The pulling moves in the queue were also affected, and the area where several war horses were running around turned away in other directions...
『…』 Qianzhao looked at the missed Sima Yi's back and was silent for a moment. Finally, he sighed a long time and ordered the troops to slowly withdraw.
Both sides are cavalrymen. Once they miss the opportunity, they will be meaningless when the opponent's speed rises.
What's more, the Cao army cavalry put on horse suits to resist bows and arrows. The weight was obviously larger than Sima Yi's side. It was possible to explode at a short distance, but if the long-distance pursuit was fought for endurance, it would definitely be worse than the cavalry. Therefore, the cavalry wisely gave up the pursuit of Sima Yi, but drove away other scattered cavalry soldiers.
However, the decision to not chase Sima Yi made Cao Ping, who was rushing back, extremely dissatisfied.
"General! You support me, is it because you intend to instigate the enemy?!" Cao Ping stood up his triangular eyes and stared at Qianzhao tightly.
Cao Pingyuan was dissatisfied with Qianzhao at first, but due to Cao Cao's order, he had to obey Qianzhao's arrangements and took some men to reinforce Zhongtiaoshan. However, after he came back, he found that the battle had been completed. The key was that he was unable to capture and kill Sima Yi!
Although Qianzhao did catch Sima Yi's painful foot and then gave Sima Yi a surprise, he did not expect that the yellow crossbow saved Sima Yi's life and eventually allowed Sima Yi to escape from the battlefield.
Is the challenge successful?
After success, he defeated Sima Yi, which frustrated Sima Yi's original plan to attack the transit camp and lost a lot of people.
But has he failed?
In Cao Ping's eyes, Qianzhao was a failure. Cao Ping felt that Qianzhao failed to complete Cao Cao's mission and failed Cao Cao's trust.
Therefore, Cao Ping was now in a fierce questioning and pulling tricks.
Someone secretly pulled Cao Ping's sleeve and signaled to hold the sword in his hand.
If that person didn't do this, Cao Ping could not bear it a little longer. As a result, when the man reminded him, Cao Ping suddenly remembered the aggrievances he had suffered in the "threat" of the past few days. He suddenly became angry and shouted: "The lord gave him a sword to capture and kill Sima! Now he has not been able to complete the lord's entrusting! Now that the thief is even here, he ordered the thief to escape! This is a serious crime for the army! How can he hold the lord's sword and order the entire army?! The person who came deprived me of his sword military talisman! He took him to the lord to ask for a crime!"
After Cao Ping said this, the other soldiers looked straight at Qianzhao.
Although Cao Cao did not clearly state that Cao Ping was the military supervisor, as a senior military academy of the Central Guards of the Cao family, he served as the military general and had more or less the meaning of "military supervisor". If Qian Zhao won a great victory, won the head of Sima Yi, or captured Sima, then naturally nothing happened. Now, Qian Zhao failed to capture and kill, which was a verbal conversation between Cao Ping.
Qian Zhao originally wanted to say that he had just issued a military order to defeat Sima Yi, but he did not say that he had to "sack and kill"!
Of course, although he kept shouting "sacking" and more of it was his slogan to motivate soldiers before the war. Now, looking at Cao Ping's tense appearance, he seemed to be trying to take action if he had a disagreement. Qianzhao was a little discouraged. He sniffed and inserted his sword into the ground with a sheath. "If this is the case, I won't say much, and I will just apologize to the Prime Minister! If this is the right to command the army, the generals of Cao don't need to make these excuses!"
Qian Zhao stood up and stared at Cao Ping, "For the sake of the same situation as his colleagues, I reminded him...Don't think that everyone in the world is incompetent!"
After Qianzhao said that, he stopped staying. He drank a few Cao soldiers who had been surrounded by Cao Ping's order. He got on horseback and took few personal guards to go to Cao Cao's place.
Cao Ping signaled that several people would go back together to report to Cao Cao. After all, he did not receive Cao Cao's full authorization, and he was not a real military supervisor. It would be okay to take advantage of some power, but if he really defeated the superior and arrested the enemy, he would inevitably be a little usurped.
Now that we are voluntarily giving up military power, of course there is no problem...
Legal and compliant.
What Shandong pays most attention to is to be "legal and compliant".
Let people follow the trick, just be careful of the trick and make a move.
What Cao Ping really cared about was the sword and military power left by the trap. He walked forward and reached out to pick up the sword, then stroked the scabbard, patted the mud on it, and gently blew the dust stained a few times, then pulled out the sword, put on a self-righteous posture and said: "Everyone, do you still have the courage to be brave enough to Jia?"
Chapter completed!
