Chapter 3294 Change Projects in Change
The former Cao Jun's camp under the nightfall has now become Fei Qian's front-line commanding location.
After thorough cleaning and inspection, Fei Qian transferred some supplies and utensils on Emei Ridge to the camp at the slope.
The north side of the camp at the bottom of the slope was extremely damaged, but the other three sides were basically intact.
The Qiang and Xiongnu people in the Cavalry Army seemed to have no discomfort in the wild. They had a leather robe covered with the sky and the ground as the bed, so they could sleep anywhere.
The Hussars would be more refined, and they would use long guns to support a shed, then put on heavy linoleum, and the men and horses would rest under the linoleum.
The moving fires are patrolling cavalry.
Fei Qian's last combat deployment was checked in the tent of the Central Army, and then issued orders one by one. After seeing his personal guards sending the carrier pigeons to the sky, he was silent for a moment, then rode on a horse and took people to patrol the camp.
When Xu Chu heard that Fei Qian was going to patrol the camp, he hurried over to hold on to the reins.
Fei Qian smiled and told Xu Chu not to follow him, but Xu Chu insisted on doing so, so Fei Qian didn't say anything, and the group began to walk around the camp.
Fei Qian knew that Xu Chu had many questions to ask.
These problems are also problems that Cao Jun has to face and cannot be avoided.
After the appearance of the demon Gunpowder, many things will be disrupted, including previous military ideas and tactical arrangements, and everything will change.
Before this new change, all the old experiences were at a loss and confused, just like a boy who had seen a sign of great evil for the first time. He felt something surging in his body, but couldn't say what it was.
In the military code of the Cavalry, the lantern is the banner of night.
Fei Qian could tell which formation it was just by looking at the lanterns being picked up on the flagpole.
In the early years, some queues liked to attract attention, making the lanterns colorful and even painted beauties. However, over time, these lanterns gradually became simple and simple words and patterns, and even some were like totems.
The reason is actually very simple.
Because all the flag team lanterns are hand-painted, but the lanterns are not very sturdy and durable, and they are inevitably damaged during marching and fighting. The more complex the lanterns are drawn, the more troublesome it is to repair them after being damaged. Even if you make a new one, it may not be as good as before. After all, there are too many possibilities in the army. The man who painted the lanterns was injured, was dispatched to other queues, promoted, or even died. So over time, he gradually became a combination of simple words and unique symbols.
The simpler it is, the more practical it is.
The same is true for gunpowder.
Gunpowder in history has taken many detours.
Because of the needs of the children of the gentry, gunpowder became a pursuit of colorful and colorful, and eventually turned into fireworks, and lost the purest essence of gunpowder and exploded.
So, what is the essence of the military formation?
Xu Chu walked in front of him, holding Fei Qian's horse reins, silent, as if thinking, or summarizing.
Xu Chu's martial arts may be at the top of the current Han Dynasty. On the one hand, Xu Chu has good innate conditions, big arms and round waist, and very strong central strength. On the other hand, he has been studying hard for many years and constantly improving.
In the era of cold weapons, men with strong fighting ability must not be like the small waist that can break when the wind blows in idol dramas, nor is it the so-called inverted triangle, but the typical bucket waist, which is a bit like the Red Jinbao physique.
This is Xu Chu's figure. He is also a one-on-one challenger in the camp directly under the Cavalry Guard.
But all his military arrogance was torn to pieces in front of the artillery.
Is it useful to be powerful?
Yes, but no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to break the city gate with one single sword.
What?
Mr. Guan Er?
That's right, Guan Yu can't do this, but the deified Master Guan Er is fine.
Xu Chu was confident back then. When he held a heavy shield and focused on armor, even if Lu Bu came, he might not be able to cross him. However, when he saw the cannons, this confidence began to shake until he saw the cannons and easily tear open the wall of the camp, causing Cao's army to flee in all directions. He suddenly realized that the era of personal force would be the end in front of gunpowder cannons.
No matter how strong your martial arts are, you can avoid arrows, crossbows, or even chariots and crossbows thrown stones, but can you avoid cannon shells?
Xu Chu himself has an estimate that he can basically avoid it from three hundred steps away. He must always keep an eye on the muzzle when he goes two hundred steps away, and once he enters within one hundred steps...
If it is closer, what about fifty steps?
Xu Chu couldn't help but tremble.
"Zhongkang, what's wrong?" Fei Qian asked.
Xu Chu took a breath, "Lord, Chu is confused about something, so I hope the lord will give me some advice."
"Yeah, after that." Fei Qian replied.
"If the cannon is stronger," Xu Chu looked at the dark color blocks in the sky, and his voice drifted in the night wind. "Are you like Chu like him just like ordinary soldiers..."
"Hmm?" Fei Qian didn't react for a while.
Xu Chu continued: "I mean... ordinary soldiers can't hide from this artillery... If I get close to you, I can't hide from you..."
Fei Qian then realized it and couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Xu Chu was stunned and twisted his neck to look at Fei Qian, "This is a good thing?"
Fei Qian nodded, "There were witches in ancient times. Do you know this?"
"I know." Xu Chu nodded.
"How did the witch live and how did he perish his life?" Fei Qian asked again.
"A witch is a witch who is knowledgeable about gods, knows the secrets of heaven and earth, can use talismans to drive away evil spirits, and can sacrifice and seek blessings. His supernatural powers are extraordinary, and they are beyond the reach of ordinary people." Fei Qian smiled and said, "Why did such an extraordinary person not see his traces after the Spring and Autumn Period?"
Of course, there were some "magic powers" in the Han Dynasty, such as Zhang Jiao Zuo Ci, etc. But unfortunately, Zhang Jiao was not only dug up the grave and whipped the corpse, but also his head was cut off and sent to Luoyang to report his merits. Zuo Ci also tried to make a name for Fei Qian, but he did not expect that Fei Qian had a trick to expose it and could only obey the orders.
As for the clone technique, whether it is multiple births or makeup, it can be done. In this era without cameras and cameras, perhaps a long hairy wart on the face is enough to become the only feature of identifying whether the same person is.
Simply put, there were still some "supernatural powers" in the Han Dynasty, but most of these "supernatural powers" were making a living, unlike those witches in ancient times who held power and held commands to the king.
"Why?" Fei Qian said, "Zhou Yidi is in the world, Wu Jue. The name Zhongni is in the world, and he is a scholar-official."
Xu Chu stared at him, "Lord, you..."
Fei Qian laughed, "It's early. Think about it, this Zhouyi has been passed down for eight hundred years. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even in the Han Dynasty, prophecies and divinations are still rampant... Zhongni worked hard and had no distinction. Now the Han Dynasty does not know the words, nine out of ten people are not aware of the words."
After hearing this, Xu Chu let out a long breath.
That's right, he's a little overwhelming. At least it doesn't have much impact on his generation...
The more you worry, the more you get.
Xu Chu seemed to understand something.
Fei Qian smiled slightly.
Not to mention the great man, even in later generations, many people know the ratio of black gunpowder, but how many of them will use this thing to smooth out the gap in force?
No matter why Chong Guanyiyi is angry, he wants to seek justice even if he fights alone. Isn’t this a joke?
Therefore, the laws of later generations will be strictly controlled, and all explosives will be prohibited, and even black gunpowder will be strictly controlled.
I am just afraid that if someone can’t think so and use this thing to force the difference in class levels, it will be Barbie Q.
Just like Midi, although it is impossible to deal with guns and ammunition, bulletproof vests, bulletproof cars, etc., especially heavy bulletproof equipment, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain, let alone bombs...
It is true fairness in front of the god of death.
Fei Qian gently tapped Xu Chu's helmet with a horse whip, "Zhongkang, you should think more about how to improve the soldiers' array and cooperate with artillery, crossbows and other objects, which is the right thing to do."
"The lord taught me a lesson." Xu Chu chuckled and said, "Chu also felt that the military formation needs to change now."
...
...
The moon shifted silently without sounding.
When you keep staring at the moon, she seems to be silent, such a graceful and beautiful woman, looking back at you affectionately after the gauze. But when you are distracted and haven't stared at her for a while, you will suddenly find that the moon has quietly ran to Yunduo to wash his hair...
This behavior is like the children of the gentry in Shandong.
?????????????????????????
Especially the operations of the children of the gentry in Jizhou area did make Cao Cao...
I don't know what to say.
What about the promise of knowing each other and staying with each other?
Although Cao Cao was lying down, he couldn't sleep.
When did you get the problem of not sleeping at night?
At the earliest times, Cao Cao had no problem at all.
You can sleep as soon as you say you want, and there is no psychological pressure.
But when it started, it seemed to change...
Cao Cao recalled, oh, I remembered it.
After the failure of the sour jujube, I met Ying Xiao in Danyang in the middle of the night. The soldiers who had finally recruited ran away overnight, and they suffered from the problem of not sleeping soundly at night.
The camp at the bottom of the slope was broken, and Cao Hong suddenly felt that the situation was not good.
The number of artillery possessed by the Cavalry exceeded Cao Cao's original estimate, and they had previously thought that the artillery could not move...
But now think about it, if the cannon cannot move, then how did it be installed on the turret in Tongguan?
It can only be said that it is the fixed turret mode in Tongguan, which made Cao Cao and others mistakenly believe that this is the only way to use artillery. Or, when Cao Cao and others faced this new weapon and unfamiliar technology, they subconsciously belittled the power and purpose of this weapon.
Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others have actually felt that the times are undergoing huge changes in the face of gunpowder and artillery, but they are not able to adapt to this change, and they cannot quickly turn tactics and strategies into new models that adapt to this new change.
Before gunpowder, war mainly relied on the physical strength of soldiers and the melee ability of cold weapons.
The large number of cluster attacks are the main tone of combat.
Simply put, it is to hit people and consume people.
Now, the gunpowder taken out by Fei Qian and the derivatives of various gunpowder have changed from simple competition to comprehensive quality. Human power is no longer the only and insurmountable combat advantage.
The layout of the battlefield and the way of fighting will undergo tremendous changes.
Before this change, how could Cao Cao sleep well?
This is a big gamble.
Before, Cao Cao won the bet.
What about now?
The emergence of gunpowder has given rise to the development of a series of new weapons, such as grenades, artillery, rockets, etc.
The range and power of these weapons far exceed that of traditional cold weapons, making the attack and defense required by the battlefield put forward higher demands and more evolutions.
The Zhanzhaiwu Fort, which is sufficiently defended against attacks by general cold weapons, cannot effectively resist artillery fire. Therefore, the design and construction of the Zhanzhai Castle must begin to change to adapt to the new war environment.
Even if Cao Cao understood, counselors like Guo Jia or Dong Zhao also understood what designs to be added to defend against new artillery, but Shandong craftsmen did not know, and civilians did not understand, and then passed information from top to bottom. How long would it take?
Shandong soldiers and Cao's army arrays have been densely arranged from the beginning, forming formations to meet the enemy. Now, if we re-defend to defend against grenades, what kind of training will it take, and how long will it take?
Of course, as Guo Jia analyzed, gunpowder cannons and other items consume a lot.
If a cannon is cast into a gun head, it may not be equipped with three or five hundred people, but can one cannon kill three or five hundred people?
Obviously impossible.
This is also a factor that Cao Cao and Guo Jia and other strategists were confident of continuing to fight before.
However, the battle at the camp at the slope now made Cao Cao and others realize another difficult problem.
Just as Cao Cao's soldiers could not line up and let Fei Qian's artillery bomb one by one, Cao Cao's soldiers could not have eternal morale and courage.
The use of gunpowder weapons will indeed greatly increase the scale and cost of the Fiku war, and accelerate the consumption of Fiku's war potential. After all, manufacturing gunpowder and gunpowder weapons requires a lot of resources and money. But in the same way, to deal with these gunpowder weapons, Cao's army also needs to have more elite and more determined soldiers...
Otherwise, it would be like a camp at the bottom of the slope, after the walls of the camp collapsed, their morale would collapse and they would collapse without fighting.
Therefore, the entire battle situation has reached now, and Cao Cao has to mobilize the most elite soldiers to come forward.
Then Cao Cao considered another issue.
Is all this in the plan of the cavalry again?
You said, how can I let Lao Cao sleep well?
As for his junior brother, Lao Cao often remembers that if he was in the Sour Jujube Camp, he could reach out to hold Fei Qian...
Cao Cao sighed silently, then closed his eyes very likely to suppress the various distracting thoughts that emerged in his mind.
I have trump cards, but is Fei Qian gone?
Cao Cao has been betting all his life, but fortunately he has won the bet before.
Unfortunately, he won all before, so he felt that he would win this time too.
Even he himself understood that there was difficulties ahead now, fire behind, and noise from his team, but he still pushed the chips forward.
The night passed quietly, and when the moon was silent and left quietly before the sun was angry, the noise gradually arose in Cao's camp. According to the previous order, cook at the fifth hour, eat at dawn, and then set off.
As the horizon gradually turned white, the soldiers of Cao's army also stood up one after another.
The army set out without waiting for people, and the time for dinner was fixed. Once the time came, the gong was knocked, and those who had not finished eating would have to be hungry.
Because time is tight, in this case, ordinary Cao's soldiers fought for each other to eat.
After these ordinary Cao army soldiers, under the protection of the non-commissioned officers, put down their rice buckets and steamed buns, they rushed up and snatched them with bowls around the rice buckets. They were impatient and even stretched out their black claws that they had not washed for many days and grabbed them...
The military academy looked coldly on the side and did not come forward to maintain order at all. Anyway, as long as there is no trouble, some fights will be regarded as livening the atmosphere.
No one talks, everyone is chewing and swallowing wildly. Everyone knows that if you eat a meal, you will lose one meal.
The food shortage of Cao's army is no longer an ulterior motive, even if the Cao army generals repeatedly denied it.
Although the number of steamed buns is still the same as before, it is obviously more than half smaller than before. At the same time, there is some meat that the senior army generals do not eat, and they are only distributed at the low-level Cao army soldiers.
So even if the Cao Army Military Academy repeatedly denies the issue of military rations, reality is reality. It will not be possible to smooth out the fear, worry, fear and other negative emotions in the hearts of Cao army soldiers at the bottom just because there are two on the surface, or if there are meat and vegetables.
The entire camp made a gusting sound.
You cannot listen carefully to this movement or think about it carefully. Otherwise, you might as well have a layer of fine hair and sweat from your spine.
In the Cao army's central tent, Cao Cao also ate his meal.
Although he was about to start, Cao Cao was still eating his meal very carefully.
One bite of rice, one bite of food.
Mix together and chew twelve times.
Cao Cao was not without the time to eat voraciously, but the older he was, the slower he ate.
When I was young, I didn’t pay attention to dental hygiene, and now I have toothaches that occur from time to time.
After Cao Cao finished eating, he took the slurry and rinsed his mouth again. The guards put down the plate before the call for gathering and setting off in the central army rang out.
The Cao army soldiers stood in their own queues, and after the small queues were completed, they immediately joined the brigade and displayed outside the camp.
Although Cao Cao's words and deeds seemed to be calm, he actually knew that he did not sleep well last night. His spirit was inexplicably excited and nervous, even when he set out, he was still the same.
The guard put on the armor for Cao Cao. After putting on it, he took a bronze mirror for Cao Cao to check it out. Facing the bronze mirror, the smooth mirror reflected a slightly distorted face of a middle-aged and elderly person.
Cao Cao leaned closer, squinted his eyes, stared at the face inside the bronze mirror, then grinned, then raised his hand to the position of the bag, swung his cloak, and walked out with his head raised.
Outside the big tent, Dong Zhao had been waiting. When he saw Cao Cao coming out, he followed him and said, "Lord, the advance teams have set off, and the Central Military Department and the rear battalion have also been prepared. Please make an announcement."
Cao Cao raised his head, squinted his eyes, stared at the flying flag, "Set out!"
The last lap deal, the last raise.
Allin.
Ordinary miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers were the first to go out of the camp, but the first to leave was the Central Leader and Central Guards.
As the sound of war drums rang out, flags came forward in pairs, and the army slowly moved forward.
Chapter completed!
