Chapter 0408 Response
The last rays of the sunset disappeared from the west, leaving only black smoke filling the fields along the banks of the Surabaya River. The flags and weapons were not yet finished, and burn marks were everywhere in the remnants of the battlefield. Large battlefields were connected by a blood red bead chain, reflecting the new and bright moonlight. In Ye Qing's eyes, there was a desolate beauty.
As Tao Qian and Tian Kai took a walk, they couldn't help but sigh as they saw the battlefield where blood and fire were still raging everywhere: "I never thought that the Cao bandits would dare to set up this grand formation. How did Liu Shijun expect it
On the large battlefield within a radius of 20 miles, 200000 troops were deployed to confront the 300000 troops of Cao. However, the generals of Xuzhou, such as Zang Ba, were hesitant about this.
Tao Qian was trapped in a lonely city and could only rely on people for assistance, but Tian Kai asked - in the era of cold weapons, only the most elite army, the most resolute belief, and the most solid luck could form such a large-scale confrontation and achieve an unimaginable pinnacle of war skills. This is a record that can only be found in the battles between the Seven Warring States in the pre Qin period and the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu.
In any case, it should not have appeared at this time, as both sides were newly emerging lords for less than ten years.
The main force of Ye Qing and the Tao Tian coalition have no experience in cooperation, and the main force of Cao Cao, the Qingzhou army, is even more of a rebel army. Normally, it is necessary to build a joint force for confrontation, stalemate, strategy, and consumption until one side collapses first, rather than launching a major war on its own.
But under the persuasion of top strategists Guo Jia and Xun You, some shocking communication applications were displayed. With Ye Qing's decision, they vigorously promoted the execution of this great battle, and as expected, Governor Yan Shenyuan also responded in the same way.
The two of them, one is a reincarnation who has participated in larger battlefields, and the other is a veteran governor who holds military and political power in Yingzhou, both of whom know their cards.
The spiritual energy of the lower earth gradually flourished, reaching a certain limit in May, and the strength of the sorcerer was restored. The change caused by this has not yet been widely spread in the world, but all the people on earth are aware that the power of the Dao Fa control field and the communication system must demonstrate astonishing transcendence in this battle, which is also the experience and courage of the people on earth in extraordinary warfare.
The historical battlefield, the essence of human civilization on the ground, and the most essence experience before being promoted to immortality, have shown profound and cruel charm again and again.
But Ye Qing couldn't reveal these things and could only say, "Cao Cao is someone I knew before
Tian Kai believed it, Tao Qian half believed and half doubted, but couldn't find any other explanation.
Ye Qing saw it in his eyes and didn't say much. Just then, Huang Zhong strode over and said, "Master, each camp has finished cooking and is ready
Well, I'll come in a little while, "Ye Qing said, glancing at the wounded barracks and sending a message to Qianqian:" Be careful not to overdraw, use the spirit stone to restore your magic power as soon as possible
Amidst the continuous white tents, Qianqian stopped to receive treatment and handed over the task to her subordinates. She then went back to the tent and took out a blue spirit stone to absorb.
Liu Shijun, are you guarding against a night attack? "Tao Qian didn't notice any unusual atmosphere, but he was puzzled." In today's big battle, with the number of troops ordered, they have taken turns to fight three times. Does the Cao army still have the energy
Ye Qing withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "There may be a night raid hidden behind it
Tao Qian smiled and asked, "How can we infer this
Because I also hid one, "Ye Qing squinted her eyes." Everyone is tired, aren't they? But we always have to hold onto a reserve team
I asked Tian Shijun to falsely claim the flag halfway through in order to deceive the Cao thief... Similarly, the other party must still have one in their hands
In fact, this is the standard practice of ground warfare, and the governor has always acted in a conventional manner, which is natural. However, it is difficult to elaborate on these details.
Tian Kai didn't hear that the internal logic was inappropriate, but his expression trembled and he was a bit stunned: "Your Majesty really hides an army... According to this, the number is ten thousand. What's the use of this ten thousand army
It's a 10000 strong force, "Ye Qing corrected his statement.
Tao Qian frowned in confusion. Although he was too old to go into battle, he had climbed up the city tower several times and witnessed the huge scale of the battlefield today, which shook and overturned his lifelong impression of being a soldier. He still reminisced deeply: "Faced with the remaining 270000 Cao army and the strict defense of the 15th battalion, how can this 10000 strong force work
Ye Qing smiled. This ten thousand army is not an ordinary army, but he didn't explain anymore. He took the two of them to a secret camp to take a look.
Are they elite? "Tian Kai speculated before entering the camp, feeling a bit envious. Tao Qian had no expression on his face and thought to himself that the most elite Danyang soldiers in his hand were also like this. With only 10000 remaining after the great battle losses, it was difficult to say whether he would win by launching a night attack on the Cao army's battalion.
Thinking this way, he looked at it and froze, "This breath
In an instant, Tao Qian reappeared as the Northern and Southern armies of the Han Dynasty, but upon closer inspection, his gaze dimmed again.
Ye Qing noticed this change, some of the past, let it go... Nostalgia and indulgence are nothing but a little sunset, and tomorrow the sun will rise as usual. In this dark night before dawn, new history must be created by someone.
Tian Kai exclaimed in admiration, "This is impressive, but the main force of the Cao army is very strong, and our camp is stable
Who said they were going to attack our camp? "Ye Qing responded to his probing and stopped there, saying calmly," We'll show you a big play tonight
Speaking, taking advantage of military arrangements, he sent these two governors out.
The confrontation between the two major coalition forces will eventually come to an end, and Ye Qing will never follow the governor's steps to delay him.
And the great battle during the day is only to consume the physical strength of most soldiers, especially the main force.
In the era of cold weapons, without the era of hot weapons, aiming and pulling the trigger would be enough, and there would be no army that could travel hundreds of miles and fight for days and nights in a row.
Wu Qi trained Wei soldiers in the past, claiming that "Wei soldiers should be trained with tolerance, wear armor belonging to three genera, wield a crossbow of twelve stones, bear fifty arrows, place a spear on top, wear armor and carry a sword, win three days' worth of food, and travel a hundred miles in the middle of the day." However, this was only extreme training, and the generals may still be able to fight. Even the soldiers who finished this knife blocking grid had no strength and were left to be killed by the enemy. This is known as "rolling armor and traveling a hundred miles, the general will be defeated.
It has to be said here that you can check what the clothing, armor, weapons, and logistics of ancient armies were, and then check what weapons were carried by a certain dynasty when it seized the world.
Wearing leggings and a rifle with ten bullets, carrying ten times lighter than ancient soldiers, and requiring less force to pull the trigger than cutting with a knife, this does not negate its revolutionary nature, but rather embodies the materialism of traveling hundreds of miles.
In terms of military strength, the Cao army had 50000 regular troops and 60000 selected Qingzhou soldiers. Ye Qing had hidden 10000 troops, but the remaining 90000 elite regular troops had no significant disadvantage in terms of quantity, which was enough for the Cao army to fight to the top.
In the general's charge, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Ling, Zhang Fangbiao, and Chen Dao defeated Yu Jian, Le Jin, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun, but Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao were still absent.
In the duel between the sorcerers, Qianqian, a real person, suppressed the governor's sorcerer.
At one time, the governor mobilized 300000 troops with a force of 190000, rushing back and forth for a whole day, using physically demanding methods to erode the numerical advantage of the Yuan Cao coalition.
In the chaos of the great war, there are always dangerous situations that affect the front line. Both sides find it difficult to hold back too much, and Ye Qing cannot see how many reserves Cao Cao has hidden. However, Qianqian has a real sense of reconnaissance, which is enough to capture many details deliberately concealed. She judged that Cao Cao had only 15000 remaining that had not been mobilized.
Five thousand of them are still not mobilized because they belong to the Yuan army's command team, and we cannot rely on them in real emergency situations, such as a night raid.
Governor, are you on guard? "Ye Qing stared at the Cao army's main camp in the distance, indicating that they were heavily guarded. With a turn of his eyes, he turned towards the branch camp, his gaze flickering as he observed and estimated one by one.
Qianqian used up the rare blue spirit stone and came over, saying, "My husband is going to lead a large army in person. Aren't you afraid that the governor will also come to attack at night
Ye Qing exhaled and said, "Mutual night attack? Are you not afraid to attack my own camp, or attack Tian Kai's army? Although this person is weak, they are a regular army under their command, and it is not easy to scatter them. They are enough to hold on until our army wins and return for rescue
Unfortunately, the governor is such a treacherous soldier, and his foundation is really worrying, "Ye Qing squinted her eyes." If Cao Cao is here, he must dare to put on his armor and personally join the battle to boost the morale of the entire army to confront me. But if it were a new governor... I dare to openly say that we will launch a night attack, but I want to see if the governor dares to save us
Guo Jia came over and handed over the military order to be signed, saying, "Master, everything is ready
Filial piety to you, this strategy is bold enough
Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Only with a lord like you can there be a strategist like me
Ye Qing shook her head and stamped it.
Immediately, the handsome flag was waved, and the plan had already been arranged to unfold. The first rider rode his horse and threw a second battle letter to the main camp of the Cao army. A group of high pitched soldiers followed and shouted to the various Qingzhou army branches, "Our army will launch a night attack tonight! Liu Yaojun will personally lead the army to launch a night attack
Both the enemy and us were stunned when they heard it.
After sneering, he couldn't figure out the truth and falsehood, and couldn't help but feel restless. Liu Bei launched a night attack with seven hundred soldiers, defeating Cheng Yuanzhi's 50000 army and sweeping through the bandits in Qingyou and other provinces. He won every battle for seven years and was no exception to the feudal lords. However, his reputation among the bandits in the northern region was the same as that of the King of Hell, and unfortunately, the Qingzhou soldiers were from the Qingzhou bandits.
Some have been crushed before and fled to seek refuge with big trees, but in today's fierce battle, most of the Cao army's casualties are Qingzhou soldiers, and the death rate is approaching the crisis line. However, it successfully evokes memories of the bandits' fear back then... I suddenly realized that it was not a fraud, but that Liu Bei was really going to crush them again!
Some Cao Fang commanders who were inserted into the Qingzhou army remembered this scene and suddenly realized, "Go and report to the lord
In the main account of the Cao army, when the governor heard this news, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The plan to exhaust the army? Go out and take a look
Everyone went out to investigate and caught Yu Jian returning from his patrol: 'Our soldiers are as calm as ever, but the morale of the Qingzhou soldiers is somewhat unstable!'
Suddenly, everyone's heart went cold, sweat flowed down, and they couldn't help but look at their own lord.
The governor calmed down and pondered, "Not only our army is tired, but Liu Bei's army is also tired. The number of fresh troops that can be drawn must be only a small amount. It's just a gimmick of using the personal commander to go into battle. Order each battalion to guard and calm down
Is that all? Go to the campsite without armor and patrol the night?
Yu Jian and Le Jin exchanged a glance, opened their mouths, wanted to say something, and then closed their mouths. There was no reason for the courtiers to advise the lord to personally face danger. Moreover, not to mention their suggestions recently, even the lord didn't listen much to his younger brother Cao Ren's words.
A hint of gloom appeared in the hearts of everyone. After General Yu Jian left the tent, he whispered to his guards, "Go to the rear camp and find General Cao Ren
