Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3259 I say, I say, I say anything

Hao Zhao quietly looked at Cao Jun's supply point in the distance and assessed Cao Jun's combat effectiveness.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with attacking Cao Jun, nor did he think the Emperor of Han had any great appeal.

In this land, the Cavalry is everything.

A person's butt is always important.

Birth determines the fate of most people. Those who can escape the limitations of their native environment are only a minority after all.

Hao Zhao is from Taiyuan, so he naturally joined Fei Qian to fight against Cao Jun.

Because Hao Zhao's butt is in Bingzhou and here with Huaqi, fighting for Huaqi has become his approved choice.

This is just like most of the things that men like are male things, and women also like female things. This is determined by the buttocks they are born with. As for some people’s buttocks being crooked the day after tomorrow, I can only say that I understand, but It's not worth it to make most people crooked just because a few people have crooked buttocks.

This is not normal.

Historically, Hao Zhao's butt was crooked. At least among the Cao family's inner circle, Hao Zhao was crooked. So even though Hao Zhao had done many things, he was born in Taiyuan and was "crooked" when he was born. So I don’t get the rewards I deserve…

Hao Zhao is a tragic hero in history.

It was he who blocked Zhuge Liang's march into Guanzhong, but he did not end well.

After Hao Zhao successfully resisted Zhuge Liang's attack, he did not receive any important military titles, no additional troops, no general rank, but only an indifferent Marquis of Guannei. Then Cao Rui deliberately spread the word, saying that there were such powerful generals in that corner of Taiyuan? Ah, ah, that’s amazing!

"Why should I worry about General Zhuo being like this?" ” Cao Rui said.

This word "burn" is really exquisite.

It has a burning meaning, a distinct meaning, and a somewhat clear meaning.

So Hao Zhao died of illness quickly.

When Cao Rui heard this, he was very sad and decided to eat less bowls of rice. Sima Yi came to persuade him, "Why bother, Your Majesty? Why bother?" It’s not like that, it’s not like that…”

Cao Rui followed the good deeds and ate as before.

Of course, this matter can also be regarded as a pure conspiracy theory, but in the land of Shandong, it is indeed necessary to be a person who is stronger than doing things.

People who only immerse themselves in work will not get along in Shandong.

Hao Zhao only knows how to do things, but Zhongshu Ling Sun Zi is obviously better at life than him.

I wonder if Hao Zhao in history would have thought of Jin Xiang who screamed at the top of Chencang City at the moment of his death?

Will you think of the home he could never go back to after leaving Taiyuan...

People have to have a butt, and they will naturally have a stand.

Therefore, it is normal to see a Han advocating for the Han Dynasty and a Manchu advocating for the Qing Dynasty. After all, the butt is over there, just to speak for that side.

Hao Zhao's butt is now on Qiusi's side, so he naturally wants to speak out for Qiusi.

Use the Five Elements Thunder to make sounds.

Among the supply points of Cao's army, most of them are armored soldiers, and there are also many unarmored handymen. This is normal. The only thing that is abnormal is that there are some elite soldiers of Cao's army.

These elite soldiers of Cao's army seemed to be afraid that others would not recognize them. Not only did they wear exquisite armor, but they also had red tassels on their coats, which fluttered in the wind, making them very eye-catching. Some even have back-protecting flags and recognition flags on their backs, making them look very windy when walking.

"Some of them are the leaders..."

The Cao family's Zhonglian led the Zhonghu army, which was probably composed of the five schools, Zhongba and Wuwei. Of course, there is also a saying that there are five battalions such as "Martial Guard, Zhongling, Zhonghu, Zhongjian, and Zhongba", as well as the so-called "Five Schools" mentioned above, which correspond to the original five schools of the Imperial Army of the Han Dynasty.

But no matter what they are called, these leading troops of the Cao family are all selected from the best among the local county soldiers, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

At least that was the case during Cao Cao's time. As for after Cao Rui...

These leading troops and protecting troops, their combat power is also higher than that of ordinary soldiers of Cao's army. Under normal circumstances, it is used as the gendarmerie of Cao's army. It can also become the commander of ordinary local soldiers and serve as the decisive force to break the formation with a sharp knife in the battle formation.

Hao Zhao thought for a moment and decided to learn from Sima Yi.

"We have now passed through Cao Jun's blockade," Hao Zhao summoned everyone, "But there is one thing you have noticed. Cao Jun is very lax... They didn't even send out peripheral guards..."

For a supply point like this, there must be at least one sentry post about ten miles away.

It was obvious that the Cao army's scout team that Hao Zhao killed last night was not a sentry point for this supply point, but a scout queue that was preparing to go back.

"So what do you mean..." asked the veteran Hussars. They are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of fighting without thinking. Although Hao Zhao is young, he is obviously willing to do practical things and has brains, so he is naturally recognized by the veterans.

"Draw it out and fight!" Hao Zhao said, "Do you remember the small forest we passed before?" 』

"Grove? But there aren’t many trees there, and they can’t hide so many of us..."

Hao Zhao nodded and said, "That's right, that's why we don't hide in the woods!" This is what I think..."

…

…

Cao Jun is easy to deceive.

At least in Hao Zhao's eyes, that's the case.

He only brought a dozen or so thin-looking men and horses, pretending to accidentally bump into the miscellaneous troops coming from Cao Jun's supply point, which caused shouts and screams in the camp of Cao Jun's supply point. A large group of Cao Jun rushed out, like cockroaches emerging from their nest.

Hao Zhao immediately took the troops and fled.

Cao Jun was chasing after him, but Hao Zhao lowered his head and ran away with his men.

After chasing for a while, the elite soldiers of Cao's army, who were shaking their red tassels and making strange screams, seemed to feel that there was something different about this small group of miscellaneous troops...

After all, there are obviously fewer people in this part of the miscellaneous army, but they are not much scattered, and there is no hint of fear in their behavior...

When people are scared, their movements will be deformed, especially on horseback. If the body is as stiff as a piece of wood, the horse will feel it and will not run faster.

When these elite soldiers of Cao's army came up to chase them, they discovered that these seemingly fleeing miscellaneous troops did not look like ordinary Hedong County soldiers at all!

"These guys might be hussars!" 』

Someone shouted, trying to get others to stop.

But they forgot one thing.

People are relatively independent. Even if parents want their children to do something, such as doing their homework well and not checking their mobile phones all day long, the children may superficially listen and say, yes, yes, yes, but in fact, when the parents turn around, I started touching my phone.

Is this the phone's fault?

Because of the strict hierarchy of Cao's army, the treatment of the central leaders, middle guards and ordinary Cao's troops was very different. This caused Cao's soldiers to shrink back when facing powerful enemies, and to attack with strong fists when facing ordinary people. At the same time, the most critical problem is that there is extremely poor mutual trust between superiors and subordinates.

The elite central leader who had some experience or intuitively sensed something was wrong shouted, but even if the other ordinary Cao soldiers heard it, they pretended not to hear it, and even looked like, "This bad old man is lying again." ’ expression.

In their opinion, how could the Hussars be here?

The key is that Cao's army lacks war horses, so the rewards for obtaining war horses are also very outrageous. Killing a hussar soldier may not be as rewarding as capturing a war horse!

How difficult is it to kill a hussar soldier?

But now all these miscellaneous soldiers have horses. If they catch one, wouldn't they immediately become rich?

The soldiers of Cao's army were all shouting and had no intention of stopping. Instead, they chased more and more energetically.

The gap between Cao Jun's cavalry and infantry is getting bigger and bigger...

Hao Zhao and others quickly arrived at the predetermined location and rushed into the sparse woods.

Cao Jun also rushed in, but the difference in riding skills soon became apparent.

Some soldiers of Cao's army who had poor riding skills simply did not dare to gallop in the woods. The twigs and branches were simply natural stumbling ropes. The horses passed by, but the cavalry on horseback may not be able to dodge flexibly. They had to Subconsciously slow down the horse speed, or simply chase around the woods.

Cao's army was once again in chaos.

Seeing this, Hao Zhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He took out the copper whistle in his arms and blew the order to attack.

As soon as the brass whistle sounded, the hussars instantly changed their formation, split into two, and ran to the left and right sides.

The soldiers of Cao's army who were desperately chasing Hao Zhao and others were stunned for a moment. Some wanted to go to the left and some wanted to go to the right. As a result, they crossed each other and bumped into each other, becoming more and more confused...

In the ravine outside the grove, the rest of the hussars were already fully clothed, holding cavalry crossbows in their left hands and swords and guns in their right hands. They rushed out of the slope with a roar and rushed towards those who were running away behind Cao Jun's cavalry. Panting infantry.

Because of the line of sight, Cao Jun's cavalry was attracted by Hao Zhao and others. Their eyes were focused on one side of the grove, but they basically didn't pay much attention to the other side. Moreover, when the cavalry ran, there was a lot of smoke and dust. Under the rolling wind, the line of sight was not very clear, and no Cao Jun ran to the edge of the ravine, so even if the hussars were hiding under their noses, Cao Jun's cavalry still could not find them.

The first target of the Hussars' attack was not Cao's cavalry who rushed into the woods.

It was Cao Jun's infantry following Cao Jun's cavalry.

The cavalry crossbow of the hussars is naturally one size smaller than the crossbow used by the infantry, and its power is also reduced a lot. It can only be used within short distances. However, because of its low power, it is more convenient to string it. By fixing it on the arm The hook string on the bow can be used to shoot the bow directly on horseback, which is very convenient.

Of course, more hussars were influenced by Sima Yi, so they gave up the cavalry crossbows, and instead chose to hold bows with both hands to take heavy arrows and armor-piercing heavy arrows.

As a result, those Cao Jun infantry who followed Cao Jun's cavalry and ran out of breath all the way were completely unlucky.

Archers shoot heavy arrows at close range, which is a nightmare for almost all infantry who lack long-range countermeasures.

Even with a shield, it won't work, because there are always places that the shield cannot cover, and under heavy arrows at close range, not to mention leather armor, even ordinary iron armor cannot withstand it!

The shield may protect the body and head, but what about the exposed feet?

What's more, Cao Jun's infantry has not yet prepared a queue because of the pursuit!

Whether it is a cavalry crossbow or an armor-piercing heavy arrow, the kinetic energy is very high at close range. Even if it is blocked by a shield, it is like being hit by a hammer. If it is slightly unable to bear it, a gap will be exposed... …

The infantry of Cao's army screamed in fright when they saw the hussars and horses suddenly rushing out from the slope, and they hurriedly prepared to defend. Unfortunately, they missed a step and lost the opportunity. It was too late to form a defensive formation.

Iron hooves rolled, and the hussars flew towards them quickly.

The iron hooves struck the ground heavily.

Rolling past like muffled thunder.

Immediately, there was a sharp whistling sound!

Whoosh!

Whizzing!

The bow string sounded, and the crossbow arrows shot through the air!

A skilled mounted archer can even shoot a dozen arrows in one minute!

An ordinary infantry longbowman only shoots six to seven arrows per minute on average.

Of course, such a skilled archer requires long-term training and a lot of energy and physical strength, and not all cavalry may be suitable. It also requires a lot of logistical support. Once there is no follow-up armament support, it will be reduced to mere tricks... …

If the cavalry does not use heavy arrows, its suppression power against the infantry will be almost zero, and it is not as effective as the lancers in melee combat.

Once the bow is soft and the arrow is light, it will be like human meat steamed buns, the kind where you get a bunch of them as soon as you give them away...

Not all hussars are suitable to change their profession to become cavalry, so some still hold cavalry crossbows. The key is that even the Hussars, even new recruits, have received at least one year of intensive training!

Before Cao Jun's infantry could stand firm, a storm of arrows arrived. Suddenly, these Cao Jun infantry were like Zhuang He in the fields in autumn, falling in pieces under the sickle of death!

Archers equipped with heavy arrows are like a nightmare for ordinary infantry!

An infantryman of Cao's army was wearing iron armor, with blood spilling from his mouth and nose.

His chest was penetrated by a heavy arrow, and blood flowed out. He was stunned at first, then showed a painful expression, and fell to the sky unwillingly.

Spears and shields are mutual. When the spear is strong, the shield is always painful.

Part of the hussar cavalry quickly passed by Cao Jun's infantry. Under the heavy arrows, Cao Jun's infantry screamed and fell from time to time, or died on the spot without even making a scream. Following the screams of Cao Jun's infantry, another group of cavalrymen screamed and fell. The batch of hussars fired cavalry crossbows, then threw hatchets, javelins and other short-range weapons at Cao Jun's infantry, and then crashed into the dilapidated array of Cao Jun's infantry, killing Cao Jun's infantry. The remaining courage and hope were completely crushed into powder!

During the battle between the two sides, only one hussar fell because his horse stumbled, and his face was bruised and dislocated. Three or five other cavalry were scratched by the swords of Cao's soldiers during the charge...

Under the surprise attack of this wave of hussars, Cao Jun's infantry almost completely collapsed!

However, the misfortune of these Cao Jun soldiers did not stop there. When the Cao Jun cavalry who chased Hao Zhao and rushed into the woods realized that something was wrong and wanted to turn their horses around to save their infantry, they discovered that they were in the woods. It is not easy to turn the horses around. Some of Cao's cavalry were stuck in branches, while others were competing with the horses.

People were shouting and horses were barking, just like the cars that were stuck on the road during the holidays in later generations. The navigator yelled with all his strength to turn left, turn left, turn left at the next intersection, but he was stuck in the traffic and couldn't even change lanes. If you can’t change, just turn a ball of wool...

And when Cao's cavalry finally came out of the woods with difficulty, they ushered in their final destruction. When they lost their infantry and their horses were slowed down by the woods, it was difficult to escape even if they wanted to.

…

…

The leader of Cao's army was Cao Su, a child who was almost a marginalized figure in the Cao family.

But no matter how marginalized Cao Su was, his surname was still Cao, so he must be the leader.

When he saw the current scene, he couldn't help being shocked and angry!

Looking at the men and horses around him, there were already a lot missing, and the rest looked as frightened as he did.

In this short moment, the infantry he brought were dead, injured, and disintegrated, while the hussars on the opposite side could hardly see any casualties!

He gnashed his teeth, damn hussars!

But even more terrifying are the Hussars!

He is different from the ordinary soldiers of Cao's army. He is a noble man with a delicate body!

These hussars are really hard to chew. Although killing them is indeed a great military achievement, it still depends on whether you have a life to enjoy it, right?

As a result, Cao Su almost didn't think much and immediately wanted to evacuate.

It doesn't matter how many Cao Jun's infantry are killed or injured, but he cannot die!

When Cao Su ran away like this, some of the other leading elites had no choice but to follow him.

Even among these elite leaders, there may be some who want to fight for their lives with Hao Zhao and others, but as soon as Cao Su takes the lead, it is equivalent to defeating the remaining courage of his own family.

At the same time, it also pointed out the best capture target to Hao Zhao!

Ordinary soldiers don't have such a strong driving ability!

Hao Zhao reminded with a copper whistle and gestured with sign language, and immediately several hussars who were good at riding rushed toward Cao Su with roars!

Before Cao Su could notice the approaching danger, the hoofs of his horse were entangled by the hoofs thrown by the hussars from the flanks. He was immediately thrown off the horse and left on the ground, like a puddle of mud, unable to climb for a long time. stand up.

When Cao Su reluctantly got up, he discovered that the other two leading soldiers who were protecting him were dead. Their bodies were not far ahead, and a young and excessive hussar sergeant was holding a blood-stained shorts. Hammer walked towards him.

On top of the short hammer, you can still see the semi-solidified liquid mixed with plasma and brain matter dripping down...

Hao Zhao hit Cao Su in front of Cao Su with a hammer, and the splashed sand hit Cao Su's face.

"Come on, come on, tell me your name, tell me what you know...Whether you can survive depends on how much you know..."

Hao Zhao's voice was like the whisper of a devil.

Before Cao Su could answer, Hao Zhao actually knew that he had found the source of the intelligence and that he had found the right person.

This guy is afraid of death at first glance.

Not all middle leaders are elites, especially the guy in front of me...

Seeing Cao Su's hesitation, Hao Zhao hit Cao Su on the back of his hand with a hammer. Cao Su's high-pitched voice sounded in the dull sound, "Ahhhhh... I say, I say, I say anything!" 』
