Chapter 3364 Strange changes, inexplicable courage(2/2)
On both sides of the rear of the shield car are infantry commanders of the miscellaneous generals such as Bao Zhong.
Cao Sheng's recognition of the flag was a little further back. Although he was surrounded by strong soldiers, it did not completely relieve him.
A little further back, there is Cao Hong's flag...
Yes, there are only flags, no one.
His surname is Cao, but his blood relationship with Cao Cao, Cao Hong and others was almost so distant that there was only one surname left!
Therefore, the other Cao Xiahou family can become an officer and a general after graduating from college. Even if he reads many scriptures and military books, he can only be a guard.
Cao Hong's escort.
If Cao Hong's guards hadn't died too much this time, it wouldn't have been his turn to stand up.
But the problem is that not all opportunities to stand out are good opportunities.
He knew that this time, in addition to him, there was another Cao family, who was also Cao Hong's guard, and he also got a chance...
An opportunity to fight for your life.
If you can fight, you can improve one level, can you not fight...
Then there is no need to worry anymore.
In comparison, he is still "easy" here!
It was said to be "easy", but he didn't need to rush up and fight directly, but the opponent he faced was not only powerful archers, but also the support of artillery!
Even these baggage trucks can't withstand the bombardment of artillery...
But in such a war, he had only passively accepted fate and no right to be picky.
The accuracy of the artillery is not high, so it is difficult to say that it has a better hit rate for these moving targets. However, in order to avoid a chain reaction in case of being hit, Cao's army still slightly dispersed the array, with a bit of a scattered line to deal with long-range attacks of the cavalry's artillery.
So here in Cao Sheng, the baggage truck is the core component of offense and defense.
This is Cao Sheng’s “innovative” idea, an absolutely “exquisite” tactic…
Once the Hussar cavalry approaches, the infantry will immediately huddle under the escort of the baggage cart, use thick tower shields to resist the arrows of the archers, and use the long spears to mount them to restrain the charge and impact of the lancers. Then the crossbowmen archers on the baggage cart will provide a certain long-range shooting and killing power.
It looks beautiful, and it feels great to think about it, but it is really implemented...
Who knows?
Anyway, Cao Hong thinks it is reliable, so everyone says it is reliable.
However, the troops on the right wing of the cavalry on the opposite side did not seem to retreat because the Cao army launched a large number of baggage trucks, nor did they push the cannons to the forefront. This should be a good thing for Cao Sheng.
After all, the roars coming from time to time in Anyi are really trembling.
Cao Sheng looked around and saw the strong soldiers around him, as well as the soldiers and horses on both sides, especially Bao Zhong's flag, climbing up the earth slope, preparing to seize a commanding height...
It’s still General Bao Zhong’s experienced master!
Cao Sheng looked up at the opposite cavalry unit again, and suddenly found that there was some movement in the Husband infantry array in the distance, as if giving up a passage...
Cao Sheng suddenly felt shocked!
『Car ahead! Turn around quickly!』
Cao Sheng shouted loudly.
Cao Sheng wanted to make the array of baggage trucks in the front line to enter the gullies of the earthen plateau as soon as possible, but it was too late.
Two roars sounded one by one, and two blue and white smoke emerged from the array of cavalry infantry. The black iron bombs crashed into the Cao army's crowd at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, like an iron plow breaking through the yellow land, leaving a red and defective wound.
"ha!"
Missed!
Sure enough, I didn't hit it!
『Ahhh! Hahahaha!』
Sure enough, it works!
Cao Sheng was overjoyed!
The artillery only hit Cao's army's ranks, but did not hit the core baggage truck!
This tactic is indeed effective!
Cao Sheng became excited.
Yes, the display does seem to have some effect...
"With the baggage truck as the core, advance! Promote!"
Cao Sheng shouted heart-wrenchingly.
Standing still means being beaten passively, but as long as you get mixed with the opponent's soldiers, the opponent's artillery will lose its effectiveness. With the protection of the baggage chariot, the infantry can also have some strength to compete with the opponent's cavalry.
If the cavalry of the Cavalry Army is not consumed, it will be difficult for the infantry of the Cao army to escape!
As soon as Cao Sheng thought of being chased by the Hussars and cavalrymen all over the mountains during the retreat, he would be chilling.
Thinking of this, Cao Sheng had some inexplicable hatred in the depths of his heart for some reason. But even Cao Sheng himself couldn't say who this hatred was because of what it was.
Cao's army continued to advance in the artillery fire of the Cavalry Army.
It was basically the same as Fei Qian expected. After experiencing the initial fear, Cao Jun had a certain understanding of artillery, especially after joining the group, he had more inexplicable courage, just like those people gathering to cause trouble. Once there were too many people, he felt that he could do anything.
The key is that Cao Hong not only promised Cao Sheng's promotion, but also gave generous rewards to ordinary Cao's soldiers. He also listed in detail and told the entire army that in addition to its bright military achievements and future, there were also golden money, land, and slaves...
Oh, the great man should be called a tenant farmer, and later generations called a helper.
As a helper, you may have the right to choose a boss, but you do not have the freedom to choose to change your class status.
But if Cao Hong's promises can be fulfilled, there is really a possibility of leaping into the class!
Under the powerful material stimulation, some people will always be fascinated by money and go crazy.
The cannons were still roaring, taking away some lives, or just some mud and dust.
Several supplies were also hit by artillery shells or crossed the edges, like a can of coke that was smashed, splashing with various reddish-brown liquids, splitting into the air!
However, because hitting moving targets from a long distance is indeed a relatively big test for the current smoothbore cannon. In addition, the density of the cannons is insufficient, resulting in the losses of these Cao army's baggage trucks.
This gave Cao Jun a wrong understanding that their chariot array could really fight against artillery!
Getting rid of it, or temporarily gaining hope to fight against the artillery of the Cavalry Army, naturally boosted the morale of some Cao's soldiers!
Chapter completed!
