Chapter 3444 The Arrow of the Bow
Swords, guns, sticks.
Blood, flame.
The night seems to cover everything.
When humans think, God laughs.
Because only God has a global vision and always opens the wall of the full picture perspective. So when God saw that humans were thinking, he already had the answer, and then naturally laughed at humans, "Idiot, I can't even think of this."
The battlefield is like a chess board, the ones fighting are chess pieces, and the ones thinking are chess players.
The other party's next move is mediocre.
What can be exchanged interchange is a draw.
If you can think of one step ahead, you can be said to be a good player.
Only those chess players who can think of thirty or fifty steps after each next step, or even consider the direction of the entire situation at the beginning, can be called national players.
The so-called national players are just a few in a country.
Most people are mediocre or draw.
It would be great if you could be a good player.
Xun Chen is naturally better than ordinary good players, but he is not as good as a national player.
He could imagine in advance, but he could not do everything and take into account everything.
Another very important reason is that he cannot focus all his energy on planning. He also has to deal with a lot of affairs, coordinate human resources in all aspects, and pay attention to the changes in the state of the soldiers and generals under his command. These complicated loads together, even the CPU with sixteen threads will be stuck.
There are not many like Zhuge after all.
Moreover, Zhuge in history was really burning life and supporting it, and finally burning silicone oil, resulting in irrecoverable structural damage...
When Xun Chen and his men arrived at the granary, the flames had already risen.
There are high walls around the granaries, and under the high walls and at the gates, the battle is the most intense.
The sound of shouting seemed to be above the flames, shaking with burning.
The person who was shouting at the last moment may be a corpse that turned into a silent one at the next moment.
The guy who wanted to rush up to the granary wall was stabbed and fell heavily the next moment.
Whether it is a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, whether it is a smart battle or a weird or ridiculous one, there is no difference at this moment.
Before the chess piece falls, there are still various possibilities, but once it falls, it will be two words anyway.
life and death.
Everything will be transformed into the most intuitive result.
Xun Chen rushed to the granary and attacked both inside and outside.
As the side that attacks, it naturally has the advantage of being a secret first, but it also brings the same serious problem, that is, there are no large numbers of people attacking the side.
If there are too many, there will naturally be a risk of exposure.
Not being exposed in advance is considered to be the ability of these people, but it also brings disadvantages.
As soon as Xun Chen brought his people, these sneak attackers were like ice and snow encountered the scattered sun, and soon melted under the three-colored flag.
Only then did Xun Chen let down his heart slightly, and then more doubts arise.
The smell of blood is everywhere.
The flame burned the body and emitted the breath of vulcanized protein.
Xun Chen's eyes slowly swept across the bodies of these sneak attackers.
There are only two ways for sneak attackers, outsiders or insiders.
But no matter which line you take, it means that many problems have been exposed.
There are those on Xun Chen's side, those on Hedong, and those on Cao's army...
At this moment, Xun Chen understood why the cavalry had said that they should focus on the "Hedong Governance"!
At that time, Fei Qian said that Xun Chen was too "concise". Now Xun Chen understood the true meaning of Fei Qian's words. It was not just simple, but simple thoughts!
Besides, Hedong, so what about Shandong?
The military academy on duty in the granary came to pay a visit to Xun Chen with a smell of blood.
Fortunately, according to the Caodian standard, when the guard post was restless outside the city, the guard post was strengthened and the light and dark post was sent. Otherwise, when the guard post was shot and killed, if there was no warning from the guard post, the situation might have been worse!
"What is the loss?" Xun Chen asked.
The military school on duty lowered its head and reported, "Only a part of the forage and debris that were close to the wall were burned by the torch thrown in by the thief... The grain and grass in the granaries were still safe and there was no loss..."
Xun Chen let out a breath and nodded, "Immediately strengthen the guards and block the doorways. If anyone who has not been ordered to approach the former, he can be killed without mercy! All soldiers on duty are allowed to enter but not leave!"
The military academy on duty should go to the court.
Before the chaos has completely subsided, those who dared to approach rashly and shot and killed them directly without any discussion.
Xun Chen waved to the military academy, signaled him to get closer, and then whispered: "After going back, pay attention to it. If anyone inquire about the situation of food and grass, he will say that the food and grass are burned and the loss is significant... and then write down his name..."
...
...
The moonlight is obscured by clouds.
The noise in the camp has never stopped.
Beside Cao Xiu, the banner of Cao's army was posed.
The battle flag was flying, but Cao Xiu's heart was constantly sinking.
The strategy has obviously failed.
People, no one can gather together.
But Cao Xiu did not give up, he felt that there was still a glimmer of hope...
What's more, in fact, he was not fully sure of success.
Popularity and human hearts seem illusory, but they can be displayed in front of you in real life.
Anyi City is so big, it is not difficult to gather dozens or hundreds of people to cause trouble, but it is not easy to expand these dozens or hundreds of people by extension and expand to thousands or tens of thousands.
Cao Xiu can't push it now.
Conspiracy and open conspiracy are never able to decide the outcome of the battle from the beginning, but in the process of implementation, they slowly force everyone to a life-and-death decision.
The reason why conspiracy is a conspiracy is that once exposed to the sun, it will collapse immediately and no longer become an effective force. However, conspiracy can still be effective in the rotation of night and day.
The war has no constant momentum, the water has no constant shape, and the way of war is ever-changing.
The so-called morale of the army is not that simple, you can control it at will...
From ancient times to the present, what really caused the army to collapse has never been a physical specific strike against each soldier. The victory or defeat of a war is not just the battle between the generals and soldiers on the battlefield, but often involves many other things. Just like the Zhao soldiers who killed 400,000 in the Qin Dynasty, who killed 400,000 in the killing pit of the Qin Dynasty, although it completely drained the blood of Zhao State and made Zhao State no longer have the capital to confront Qin State, but this pit is also a sequelae of the five countries' attack on Qi State.
After the killing, although Zhao, the obstacle of Qin's advance eastward, was eliminated, but it also brought about the aftermath of the Qin army's brutality. Even after the Qin State was unified, even if it wanted to change the people's thoughts, it would not be able to change. The killing of 400,000 yuan was a stain that could not be avoided.
When a person's consciousness is engulfed by the will of millions of people, then what a single person thinks is not the point, but what most people think is the standard for measuring right or wrong.
Although Cao Xiu could not have the ability to extract this theory of the situation like a later generation, like a person from later generations, with nine years of basic education, he realized this problem during the specific battle.
Therefore, Cao Xiu must maintain his will to fight against the cavalry. Even if he fails or dies, more people must know that Shandong is still fighting and has not surrendered yet!
Between Guanzhong and Shandong, it was not the Cao army or the Fei army that really decided the outcome, but more people than the Cao army and the Fei army, and the people of the world!
What do the people in the world think of the two political groups is the real key to the problem!
This kind of person and person, and the little bit of views eventually add up, is called the true hearts of the people!
If the people in the world think that this country and the court is beyond salvation, it is really beyond salvation!
Cao Xiu didn't want to see that day!
Cao's army once had the belief to save the world and save the country.
However, this belief of Cao's army did not come from "training" or "rules", but was fought in the early battle against the Two Yuans!
It was when people defeated the Er Yuan, who was considered to be the destiny of heaven and the role model in the world, so the Cao army felt that they were very strong!
It was during the robbery and killing time and time again, looking at the trembling opponents, feeling the fear of the other party, gradually formed!
During Dong Zhuo's reign, the Han Dynasty was in chaos and the gentry and gentry gathered together in Shandong, which led to a "faith" that was in the general trend and destiny!
It’s a pity that this kind of "belief" actually hides too many hidden dangers.
When this "faith" is broken and shattered here...
The things that were originally covered were detonated.
On the battlefield, when fighting to the death, not many people will have the heart to think about right and wrong, and will only subconsciously hope that their side will win, because this represents the possibility of survival.
But when we survived and the war stopped temporarily, especially when we really saw the situation in the cavalry and felt the order under the cavalry, those hidden things would slowly emerge and spread out.
Facing the three-colored flag, the sense of belonging of "destiny" will begin to deviate.
Once the deviation is much, when this trend of thought is fed back to Shandong, it has been summarized into the "belief" of millions of people. Even if Cao Cao has the ability to be in the sky, he is powerless.
If you do it in one go, then there will be problems if you play it out again and again.
As time goes by, the fighting spirit in the hearts of these people Cao Xiu gathered is also decreasing.
The surging crowd headed towards Anyi, but was soon suppressed. The broken camps and earthen walls around Anyi City were constantly becoming stronger and tall in the eyes of everyone, as if they were huge rocks in the torrent, and they could not rush or take them away.
As time goes by, the noise begins to drop.
When the initial fanaticism surged, what was left was endless emptiness, loneliness and coldness.
People's hearts are already in chaos.
Some people even came to Cao Xiu to ask for countermeasures. Cao Xiu could even force a few words of encouragement, and perhaps suppress the impetuous thoughts of these people. However, in the midst of chaos, I don’t know how many people may have such thoughts in their hearts but are unwilling to say them. That’s the problem.
But after the bow was opened, there was no turning back arrow at this time.
Someone began to shout at Cao Xiu, "Where is the Prime Minister's army? Where is the imperial army?!"
Cao Xiu still said the same thing, "It's on the road! It'll be here soon! We hold on, and they'll die!"
The Cao family's battle flag floats under the night sky, like a dead soul living in the dark. If it is dawn, it will die...
...
...
Behind Cheng Yun, a battle flag was also raised.
Tricolor cavalry flag.
The flames were shaking left and right on the battle flag.
Outside the fire, some black shadows fled in a hurry.
Cheng Yun ignored the black shadows that fled outside the fire, and he stared at Cao Xiu's battle flag.
Cheng Yun was a little angry when he was teased by Cao Xiu at the inn.
He summoned his subordinates to launch a surprise attack on where Cao Xiu was.
In fact, it is not considered a "raid" because Cheng Yun did not hide his whereabouts at all.
Cao Xiu actually played with the golden cicada to escape under his nose. It was so unbearable to me, but aunt couldn't bear it!
Cheng Yun decided to rush to Cao Xiu’s flag and kill Cao Xiu with his own hands!
On the one hand, you can avenge yourself for being fooled, and on the other hand, you can also make new contributions!
Under Cheng Yun's command, more than a hundred cavalry formed an attacking formation and rushed straight to Cao Xiu's flag.
Everyone wants to be promoted or promoted, but if you want to be promoted to a higher education and college, you must have a record of being able to achieve success in order to convince the public!
Nowadays, the generals under the command of the Cavalry have a well-known record, and have the heads of several thieves?
Cheng Yun felt that this time was his chance!
All problems can be solved with just one surprise!
Money moves people's hearts, while greed makes people confused.
At this moment, Cheng Yun forgot Xun Chen's explanation and ignored some dangers.
What are these surrendered rebels?
There are no decent swords and guns, and there are no sets of armor, and the number of people is not large. It is just that there are no decent soldiers outside the city, and the inciting refugees and surrendered soldiers who are unknown to cause trouble!
As long as Cao Xiu is killed, nothing is a problem!
In Cheng Yun's mind, he even doubted Xun Chen's ability, and felt that such a big city of Anyi was actually disturbed by Cao Xiu's hundreds or dozens of people. What kind of strategy is this?
Cheng Yun thought that it was Xun Chen who had to shirk his face and that he had done this, which was simply incomprehensible!
If there is anything wrong, just cut it and kill it!
Why did you say that Uncle Zheng and Uncle Duan? His grandmother just slashed her with one knife. Wouldn’t there be so much trouble?
I have to pick up some allusions on Spring and Autumn, hahaha, I can only say that it is just to cover up Xun Chen's incompetence!
Don’t look at the general’s chief minister, that’s all!
If you really want to fight, you still have to see me fighting on the battlefield!
Cheng Yun thought about it and rushed forward.
It's approaching, it's approaching!
Cao Xiu's figure under the Cao army's battle flag was reflected in Cheng Yun's eyes.
Cheng Yun saw some figures shaking around Cao Xiu, as if he was escaping in fear.
I just want to run now, it's too late!
This time, I have made up my great achievements!
『Hahaha! Come on my life!』
Cheng Yun shouted and waved his sword.
He didn't pay any attention. In front of Cao Xiu's place, there seemed to be some weird wooden stakes standing on the ground one by one.
There are many battle ruins outside Anyi City, and there are also many remaining items that have not been cleaned up before, so it seems that these seemingly messy wooden stakes appear here, which seems to make some sense?
The key is that Cao Xiu is right in front of you now, and Cheng Yun leads his troops to chase him here, and there is no reason to turn back!
Cheng Yun roared angrily and rushed forward.
He had just rushed to Cao Xiu with his men, about two hundred steps away, and saw the head of a Hussar cavalry in front of him suddenly flew up!
The headless cavalry was still running forward, and the blood in the cavity splashed out colorful black in the night and fire, and then fell back with a loud bang!
Cheng Yun was shocked!
Before Cheng Yun could react, the several Hussar cavalry rushing in the front were one after another, as if they were directly chopped off their heads by an invisible knife!
『There is a trap!』
Cheng Yun shouted, quickly tied the reins tightly, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, trying to reduce the speed of the horse.
The war horse was hurt and its front hooves suddenly soared into the air, but I don’t know if it was something in the air. The war horse’s front hooves were cut off!
Cheng Yun fell out with his man and horse, and then suddenly remembered what the hell is this!
But he had no time to remind the Hussar cavalry behind him. The cavalry who could not hold back the horses were attacked one after another. The cavalry who had not been trapped quickly took over the horses and then collided with the cavalry rushing up from behind...
On the battlefield, from ancient times to the present, there is no saying that there is a safe win. Whoever is not careful will be in trouble.
This kind of trap was first adopted by the Cavalry Army, but was learned by Cao's army.
When Cao Xiu went to Wenxi, he was already thinking about how to deal with the cavalrymen, but at that time he thought that he was using the baggage truck to build this defense system, which happened to be in line with the ideas of Dong Zhao and others.
Of course, Cao Xiu did not have any supplies here, but there were many abandoned wooden stakes among the ruins and the wooden pillars used to support the ground nests in the temporary camp.
If Cheng Yun is really careful enough, it would be better to say that Ming saw some wooden stakes that were strange, but when he led his men forward, he also saw Cao Xiu and others moving...
Yes, Cao Xiu didn't know where the Hussar cavalry and other Hussar cavalry would rush out, so when they found that there were Hussar cavalry rushing out, they would hurriedly hide on the other side of the trap.
Xun Chen expected that since Cao Xiu and others dared to rebel, there would inevitably be traps. So when Cheng Yun left the city, he specifically told Cheng Yun not to be anxious. Even if the thief army had a momentum, it would be a flash in the pan. After dawn, everything would become clear.
The night is the best cover for the trap and an amplifier of fear.
In the dark night, dozens or hundreds of people can be regarded as thousands of people.
But after dawn, nothing can escape.
As long as the city is not chaotic, even if the camps outside the city are more chaotic, they can quickly settle down after dawn.
