Cao Ren was relieved when he saw Liao Hua's forward retreat.

His most fear is that he will collapse at once!

As long as you can persist in the first time, you will be able to have a second time...

This is also why Cao Ren insisted on being on the front line and personally commanded it. It was indeed with Cao Ren commanding on the front line that the entire Cao army front withstood Liao Hua's attack.

For example, the temporary decision to rescue the wounded soldiers was also an order issued by Cao Ren on the scene. Otherwise, if the general military academy did this, even if it was victorious after the war, it would be a crime to be charged with a heart-wrenching crime!

"Master, drink some water..."

The personal guard handed over the water bag.

Cao Ren took it and raised the water bag. When the sour and smelly water slid across his throat, it seemed like countless small needles were pricked.

『Ahem cough cough…』

Cao Ren couldn't help coughing.

"Master!" The guard stepped forward with some concern.

"No...it's okay..."

Cao Ren waved his hand and subconsciously tried to apply a slight snot and saliva from coughing, but was pulled into pain by the slashes of the sleeves on his arm, and even felt blood coming out.

『Haha…』 Seeing that he was so embarrassed, Cao Ren laughed, 『Don’t worry about me… Go, I’ll give you an order to reward the crossbowman today!』

Today's defense was successful, and Cao's crossbowmen made an indelible contribution.

Especially when Cao Ren saw that Liao Hua's vanguard soldier was about to throw a grenade, his heart almost jumped out of his throat...

Fortunately, the pre-arranged crossbowman played a role.

Cao Ren saw with his own eyes that a Hussar soldiers tried to throw grenades. When they were igniting the fuse, they were shot into the shoulder blade by a crossbow arrow while throwing. The grenades emitting blue smoke rolled into the formation of Hussar soldiers. When they enveloped the surrounding people under fireworks, they clenched their fists excitedly and cheered loudly!

Of course, there are many things that have ruined Cao Ren.

Not only the supervisor team, but also Cao Ren himself killed three non-commissioned officers and military academy.

There are even tribe members with the surname Cao...

However, at some point, Cao Ren caught a glimpse of the exposed peace talisman on the belt of the Cao clan's corpse.

Like the one on his belt, the front is embroidered with "Cao" and the back is embroidered with "Fu"...

Who can be blessed in a chaotic world?

The copper whistle of the cavalry came from the foot of the mountain, and Cao Ren's eyes gathered again. He knew that the chess game would continue until the last Cao family's child turned into a piece of blood mud on the chess board.

...

...

From cognition to action, it is a long process.

Different historical stages have different control methods, but the deep commonalities of their power operation are the same.

The Cao army soldiers knew that the cavalry was treated well, and some of them surrendered to Liao Hua, but will the other Cao army soldiers surrender on a large scale?

Obviously impossible.

The lower the Cao army soldiers, the more likely they are to be shaken, while the Central Leadership Army under Cao Ren's command is extremely difficult to persuade to surrender.

Because Cao Cao encountered a large-scale defection of soldiers in his early years, he was almost killed in the tent by the defeated soldiers at midnight. Therefore, Cao Cao had very strict control over the military law of soldiers, created a technical "co-co-sitting system", and specially issued the "Infantry War Order" to stipulate that "one army will be defeated, the squad leader will be killed; one team will be rushed to the north, and the captain will be killed", and other details were cut into the military organization as the smallest combat unit. Not only did the responsible person be determined, but the masses will also be mobilized... Oh, the means of mobilizing soldiers to keep the soldiers to death were used to the extreme.

The "Scholars' system" created by Cao Cao concentrated the families of soldiers and families to form a dual identity of "military and civilian status". When using the law flexibly, it should enjoy the benefits of the military, and it becomes a civilian. Once it is a crime, it becomes a severe punishment for military law!

This method is not clever, but it is very effective.

Just like the later generations of Midi, I wished that everything would be paid in installments. The purpose of mortgage loans and car loans was to monetize the future labor value of the people in advance. Once there was any "wrong" in the people, they would be houses, cars and family.

Midi will also use credit ratings, such as users with credit scores and how many points are lower than those, consumer credit will be greatly reduced, showing its social screening function. In essence, it uses digital encoding to reconstruct social identity, which is similar to Cao Jun's "Scholar's System".

Not only that, cognitive manipulation will be carried out on consumerism, and through the symbolic construction of some advocated "lifestyle", material possession and identity are bound. This psychological control is more permeable than any military law.

Cao's army controlled the soldiers, and perhaps even those who were forced to obey under the sword and axe, but the people in the Mi Emperor took the initiative to sign a loan contract "free choice"...

Is it a lack of cognition or something else?

For Cao's soldiers, even though they knew they would die, why didn't they escape and surrender?

But from a different perspective, for those people among the Midi, why don’t they resist even though they know they are exploited?

I'm afraid that even if the keyboard warrior comes, he can only angrily change the topic and say that it's flooding again...

At least at this time, Liao Hua's attack was not as smooth as expected. After a day, he could not seize any effective progress, but instead made his soldiers and military academy a little anxious.

After successfully winning Danshui County and Shunyang County, some soldiers and military academies began to discuss, saying that they could go to Xiangyang in ten days and Jingzhou in one month...

But who would have thought that just such a small position on the mountain would block Liao Hua's forward's way?

『Ming Jin to withdraw his troops!』

Liao Hua frowned and ordered.

"Captain! It's still early now, let me take my people to rush forward again!"

The military academy said anxiously.

Liao Hua shook his head, "There are too many damages... Even if you hit that mountain, do you see that there is no behind?"

Liao Hua pointed at the rear of the Cao army's front.

Behind that mountain, there was obviously Cao's reserve team.

"We have to defend ourselves after fighting, and then we will pull up with Cao's army in this area, so our troops cannot be expanded," Liao Hua said in a deep voice, "And they have a good location, so we will suffer a loss in this way."

Before the attack, Liao Hua had done corresponding research on the county towns along Danshui and formulated an offensive plan. However, Liao Hua did not expect that Cao Ren would abandon the original defense system of the county town and directly built military camps at Danjiangkou, digging trenches, pile up stone strips and wood to defend.

Even the smallest mountain city in the county town has a certain entry and exit passage, and fixed defense mechanisms such as city gate suspension bridges. Once destroyed, a defensive loophole can be formed, which can be expanded to become a winning opportunity. However, what are the key points of defense chosen by Cao Ren now?

Trench, earthen wall?

This is not the gate of the county town!

The city gate was destroyed, can the county wall run away?

But even if Liao Hua destroyed the trenches and earth walls of this position, would Liao Hua have to start over again when Cao's army retreated to the next position?

"This is not a way to consume." Liao Hua said, "You can't fight according to what Cao's army presets..."

If you don’t walk on the mountain road in front of you, you will either take a detour or take a waterway.

Danshui is not spacious, and the ships in it are basically small boats. There are not many warships that transport cargo and people.

'We can cut down trees and build rafts!' said the military academy, 'The surroundings are full of trees, so it is not difficult to build rafts! When our soldiers bypassed the mountain and landed behind Cao's army, they would attack them twice, and if they didn't believe it, they wouldn't be able to take the mountain!'
